Chapter 285: A Superhero Movie with Depth
"What? With a mentally ill person as the protagonist? Fang, sorry, this is unacceptable. ”
It's still at Disney, it's still that Mr. Alex.
However, this time the negotiation object he faced was no longer Wu Kai, but Fang Bei.
Of course, Wu Kai was also on the side to help translate.
The eldest lady didn't come with her, because the winter vacation was over, and she went back to school.
"fnmdx! You sand sculpture is also worthy of teaching Lao Tzu how to choose a role? It's a big deal that Lao Tzu won't shoot! What was written in the original contract is what Lao Tzu said! If you regret it, you Disney will have to compensate me for the sky-high liquidated damages!" Fang Bei smiled and scolded wildly in a tone like a spring breeze, and then said to the stunned Wu Kai: "Brother Kaizi, remember to remove my swear words when translating, as long as you leave the meaning." ”
When the other person can't understand what you're saying, scolding will be cool.
Fang Bei suddenly discovered the benefits of requiring English in schools in his previous life.
At the very least, when a foreigner tells you that "Fake" and "Shet" are greetings, you won't be fooled.
Wu Kai: "......"
He pondered for a moment and then spoke, "Uh...... Mr. Alex, what Fang means is that the contract says that he is responsible for the role. And please believe Fang's eyes, that Mr. Arthur Fleck is indeed a very good actor. Mental problems are not a problem. ”
After a pause, he added: "And to be honest, Mr. Fleck was originally an employee of Disneyland, but he was originally a vulnerable group of people on the fringes of society, and the Disney staff treated him like that." You know that this is the United States, isn't Disney afraid of all kinds of groups coming to protest and looking for legislators who want to be famous?"
You must know that this is the United States where all kinds of virgin are popular, and it is not one or two families who are interested in Disney.
When the time comes, people will take the opportunity to do something, and Disney is afraid that it will have to bleed heavily to settle down.
Alex's eyes sharpened.
He didn't feel that the other party was threatening him, but he wanted to thank the other party.
Because Fang Bei did help them eliminate an unknown hidden danger.
"You do have a point. After thinking for a moment, Alex frowned and said: "Wu, you also know, there is really no problem with letting him be the protagonist, but after the news of the movie is exposed, that group of reporters will definitely dig deep into his past, and his affairs will also be exposed, which is very bad for us." ”
Wu Kai truthfully translated it to Fang Bei.
Of course, Fang Bei was prepared.
"Brother A, this is your fault. Aren't you foreign devils all cunning and cunning? Why can't you figure out such a simple question?"
He took a sip of coffee with a lot of milk and sugar and continued: "This is a good opportunity for propaganda! What do you Western people like to watch? Of course, it is a movie that is correct and exposes the darkness of society! Then show them! Show them how dark this society is!"
That's what crooked nuts like.
Anyway, as long as I make it into a movie and TV series, everyone will treat it as if nothing happened, and they will crazy praise how free and open this country is, and this will actually let me shoot!
So here's the problem.
After the shooting, will their capitalists change?
What nonsense are you talking about in movies and TV dramas! What you are talking about in movies and TV dramas is about society! What are you scolding about the government! What is the business of our capitalists?
Even if I scold the capitalists, what if I can make money, I can scold myself casually~
And I not only make your money, but I also deceive your mind, control your mind, and then ...... Let you continue to be a dog for my capitalists.
And you still praise me!
Isn't that beautiful?
I have to say, don't see these very thoroughly.
But it can't be helped, everyone has to live.
So he didn't refuse to be the eldest lady's boyfriend, and he would still cooperate with these capitalists.
That kind of thing is not something that he, a small person, has the ability to do with consciousness and thought.
He just needs to be his ass and be fine.
Anyway, everyone loves to watch it, and he can make money, and he himself vented his emotions, why not?
After listening to Wu Kai's selective translation, Alex couldn't help but stroke his beard and sighed: "Wonderful...... Wonderful......"
Of course, he didn't have a long beard, and he didn't sigh.
But that's pretty much what it means.
But he still has a question: "But isn't this a superhero movie?
Fang Bei smiled slightly: "Of course you can, and this time I want to shoot an anti-hero story." It's a story that is separate from the superhero universe of my past. ”
Actually, it can be added, but this one is not in a hurry.
Later, if Fang Bei's comic book company on the Hollywood side launched a series of superheroes such as Batman and other superheroes are filmed, they can be connected.
In this movie, don't give too many shots of other superheroes, at most only some scenes like easter eggs.
Although Batman can't remember anything except for a few episodes, Batman is incomplete without "Joker".
Just as a Joker without Batman is no longer a Joker.
After Wu Kai's selective translation again, the more Alex thought about it, the more it made sense.
After all, he is not the kind of guy who looks down on people, otherwise he would not be able to enter Disney's management.
And Fang Bei's previous achievements are obvious to all, what if he really succeeds?
But Disney also has Disney's appeals.
"Fang, it's okay for you to decide the starring role, but we will also provide some help with the other actors. For example, we can provide a list, but of course, in the end, it's up to you to choose who you want to use, and it doesn't matter if it's all supporting roles. Anyway, as long as you choose, we'll solve the problem. ”
That's Disney's attitude.
They have to install actors.
But that's also the other party's good.
And one thing he didn't tell Fang Bei was that there were a lot of big-name Hollywood actors on this list.
Yes, Disney wants to tie Fang Bei to Disney's car, and they are particularly interested in Fang Bei's superhero comic book company.
The capitalists' keen sense of smell tells them that it is a super gold mountain that has not yet been developed!
So there's one thing they're going to do now, and that's to make gods.
They want to make Fang Bei a director of the level of "Hollywood tyrant" Tom Smith.
At the very least, to make the public feel that the two can fight each other, the easiest way is that there will be many big-name actors in other movies.
For this small request, Fang Bei did not refuse.
I've spent all your Disney money to make movies that hack you America, what's the problem with how many actors you want to stuff?
Of course that's fine!
But when he got the list a few minutes later, he was a little scared.
Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, Barry Allen, Diana Prince......
Tsk, what a head-scratching name.
In the end, Fang Bei only chose one name: "Bruce Wayne, let's do this first, you can let him make a cameo." ”
Although it is not intended for Batman to officially appear, it is also good as an easter egg.
"Bruce Wayne, oh, a rich second generation who is addicted to alcohol. Alex shrugged, "This man is a model of the prodigal son, who was proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he almost died himself." Later, he turned back as a prodigal son and was nominated for an Oscar for four consecutive times, but he didn't win any awards, and he can be regarded as a relatively outstanding actor. ”
After a pause, Alex took a sip of coffee and asked, "What about the script?" Fang, you have to show me the script, right?"
Fang Bei snapped his fingers: "I'll give it to you tomorrow." ”
ps: Sleep, I'll give it to you tomorrow morning after I finish writing the script~
