Chapter 1257: Decision
The translation team quickly finished translating "Home Alone", and I have to say that their work efficiency is very fast.
Jordan, James, and Owen also began to evaluate the movie Home Alone.
In the end, the three of them began to communicate with each other, you look at me, I look at you, you look at him.
The three of them showed their evaluations at the same time, and they were "A" and "A" and "A", and the evaluations of the three were exactly the same.
"This γγγγγγγ β
Malone was slightly surprised, he thought that he was the only one who judged "A".
James smiled: "Haha, the hero sees the same thing." β
The three of them all looked at each other and did not discuss anything, but directly reported their assessment reports.
Johnson, the leader of Warner's production team, quickly received the evaluation report of the three, and the evaluation of these three "A's" was so conspicuous that he was extremely surprised.
How can a Chinese, a Chinese screenwriter's film He De get such a high evaluation?
Johnson naturally doesn't look at people with colored glasses, Xu Qian is not an unknown person, and besides, who can achieve extremely high achievements in a certain field is easy to match?
Johnson will not despise Xu Qian because of his Chinese status, but will respect him more because he can shine in the West because of his identity.
Jordan's comment: "A classic comedy, a comedy that can be a big hit, a very deep study of the culture of the country, and a hit." β
James' comment: "The mischievous little guy, I want to see him on the screen, without a doubt this is the most classic comedy I've ever seen. β
Owen: "Genius comes out of teenager, this is a super hit comedy, with a variety of hit factors, and it is not a problem to become an instant hit." β
Johnson was quite surprised when he looked at the evaluation of the three people, and these three people actually recognized this "Home Alone".
He couldn't hold back his curiosity and read the script of "Home Alone", he didn't know if he didn't read it, he was startled when he saw it, the script of "Home Alone" was simply seamless, naughty little clever ghosts, stupid "stupid thieves", and "Christmas", "family", "family" These factors, when these factors are combined, they will burst out with extremely powerful energy, and no one can ignore this energy.
After reading the script of "Home Alone", Johnson only had admiration in his heart, and this script made him throw himself to Xu Qian's admiration.
At the same time, he was also a little puzzled, because Xu Gan's previous works "The Departed" and "The King of Comedy" were both movies with profound connotations, and he always thought that Xu Gan's movies were to dig out the shining points in human nature, and finally achieve a shocking effect.
He always thought that Xu Qian was the kind of person who pursued absolute artistic effects.
After watching "Home Alone", he realized that he really underestimated him, he is not a single director who pursues art, as long as he wants to, even if it is pure comedy, he can do it.
"What a genius. β
Johnson sighed.
He finally understood why Cameron praised Xu Qian as a genius, because this person is the kind of genius who has not been born for a hundred years, and no one can block his light, he is like a cone in his bag, and sooner or later he will stand out.
Warner's move was fast, and Johnson immediately asked Malone to work with Xu Qian.
Xu Qian began to conduct protracted negotiations with Ma Long, and the content of the negotiations mainly revolved around copyright, actor selection, distribution stratification and other levels.
"What? You want to operate the copyright independently?"
Malone said in surprise.
He thought that this time Xu Qian would sell the copyright of "Home Alone" to Warner, but this time Xu Qian would definitely not, "Home Alone" is different from "The Departed", which is an untapped gold mine.
And Xu Qian was not well-known in the West at that time, so he used "The Departed" as a stepping stone, but now it is different, he already has a certain degree of popularity in the West, and he also has the ability to bargain with Warner.
"Sure, but I can raise Warner's distribution tier. β
Xu Qiandao.
Malone's expression eased and increased Warner's distribution tier, which means that Warner will reap more benefits.
"And when necessary, I'll work with Warner on the rights to Home Alone. β
Xu Qian let Ma Long take another dose of reassurance.
It is impossible for one person to occupy most of the interests, Xu Qian now also knows how to share interests, if he can envelop Warner, it would be an excellent thing, and Xu Gan is the most fancy Warner among the eight Hollywood majors.
Disney's current homepage is still in anime production, and they rarely get involved in live-action movies like this, but Disney in this world has not acquired Marvel.
"But why are there so many Chinese in the leading and supporting roles?
Jordan was still skeptical.
Xu Qian marked a lot of Chinese actors in "Home Alone".
Xu Qian said: "No problem, the movie I shoot will definitely be a big hit." β
Xu Qian's heart was full of confidence.
"Okay. β
What else can Malone say?
This is not something he can call the shots, he began to communicate with Johnson after he went back in the evening, Johnson was very generous, and agreed to Xu Qian's requests one by one.
As long as Xu Qian can bring enough benefits to Warner, then Warner doesn't mind cooperating with him, as long as Xu Qian can always bring benefits to Warner, then Warner will meet all his requirements.
This era is such a reality, because Xu Qian is a useful person, he can naturally get the highest attention.
Xu Qian plans to shoot "Home Alone" in China, and its background is not "Christmas" but the Spring Festival, and Xu Qian still plans to show traditional Chinese culture when necessary.
Xu Qian is very experienced in this area, don't forget, in order to help Xingyue Video rise, he shot a documentary, and that documentary is called "Chinese New Year".
That documentary is very touching, and more importantly, he experienced the greatness of China's "Spring Festival", the greatness of the Chinese New Year, Xu Qian can intercept some materials to shock our lovely foreigners.
The background Xu Qian has already thought about it, that is, his father and mother went back to China for the New Year, and because they went out to play during the New Year, they left the youngest troublemaker at home, which constituted the beginning of the story of "Home Alone".
That's all Xu Qian can do, add Chinese elements, carry forward Chinese traditions, and then carry out cultural anti-dumping.
It is Xu Qian's responsibility to let foreigners have a deeper understanding of China, rather than simply relying on inherent impressions to spread false rumors.
He is now the first person in the Chinese director industry, and he has this responsibility and this obligation to let the outside world re-understand our country.
The actors of "Home Alone" are a combination of Chinese and Western, both Western actors and Chinese actors, and since the background is in China, most of the actors are Chinese.
However, this is not a joint venture film, but a film independently funded by Beyond Entertainment, Warner is only responsible for distribution, Warner didn't say anything about it, they knew that Xu Qian planned to make a series, so they were waiting and watching.
If "Home Alone" wants to be made into a series, then the first part must be successful, and if the first part fails miserably, then the so-called series is simply nonsense.
ββββββββββββ
The choice of actors, actors are the most important thing for a movie, Xu Qian wants to make "Home Alone" enter the Western market, he will use many Western actors.
The father's choice was Rose, one of the leading actors in "Friends".
The TV series "Friends" has a very high status in Europe and the United States.
In this new century of computerization and informationization, exchanges between countries around the world are becoming more and more frequent, and exchanges have gradually expanded from commercial exchanges to cultural and other aspects.
"Friends" is currently the most popular sitcom in Europe and the United States, the play involves the West and the United States cultural connotation is extremely rich, in China, the play as a tool to improve English speaking and listening, coupled with the unique "American" humor of the relaxed and witty storyline, gathered a large number of "old friends" fans.
"Friends" is a humorous sitcom series (ten seasons) that has been on the TV screen for ten years in the United States, and is recognized as one of the most successful and influential American dramas in history.
The show premiered on NBC, began on September 22, 1994, and ended on May 6, 2004, with 10 seasons and 236 episodes.
The production company of this drama is Warner Bros. Television Company, and the story is set in a circle of friends in Manhattan, New York, describing the emotional ups and downs, career twists and turns of six ordinary young people, and the joys and sorrows of life. The show has a large audience and generally praised, ranking among the top 10 of the year in the ratings of each season, setting a single-episode rating record of 53 million people, and its finale also attracted 52.5 million people to watch the live broadcast.
The show was nominated for 62 Primetime Emmy Awards, including winning Best Comedy Series in 2002.
In 2007, the American TV Drama magazine named the top 100 American dramas in history, and this drama topped the list.
The reason why "Friends" is popular is that it is fully equipped with the quality of consuming good goods, and more importantly, in the constant laughter, it allows us to see another kind of life as ordinary as us, all kinds of people have conflicts and jokes because of emotions, principles, interests, status and other issues, and at the same time, family, friendship, and love are also sublimated here. "Friends" has invisibly become a mirror of people's daily life, which can allow us to learn life and appreciate the truth, goodness and beauty in life.
Although Ross is not a movie superstar, he has great fame in Europe and the United States, and the most important thing is that he has a high national favorability.
Xu Qian, the mother's candidate, chose Brother Li, who became popular all over Asia because of "My Sassy Girlfriend", and with her, the box office in Asia is guaranteed.
Next, Xu Qian referred to the candidate of "stupid thief".
One of them has been booked by another actor in "Friends", and he is naturally Matthew.
In "Friends", his performance is very exquisite, in the play he plays the director of the company, thinks he has a strong sense of humor, loves to use his humor to ridicule others, and sometimes lacks self-confidence. Therefore, "use humor to cover up your own lack of self-confidence".
It is very suitable for him to play "stupid thief".
It can be said that the main thing in "Home Alone" is the three characters, that is, the stupid thief and the "little ghost".
Another stupid thief, Xu Gan, naturally wants to choose a Chinese, and now he can promote one if he can promote one, and let a Chinese show his face in the international arena and let a Chinese show his face in the international arena.
The only thing Xu Qian can do now is what he can do, he is not an all-powerful person, and this is the only thing he can do.
Despite these, Xu Qian also attaches great importance to the candidates of the stupid thief, even if he wants to find a Chinese actor, it does not mean finding a random one, the stupid thief can be said to be one of the soul actors of "Home Alone", if the stupid thief does not act well, then "Home Alone" will be completely ruined, this is not what Xu Qian wants to see.
Because if "Home Alone" is not good at the box office, then what cultural output is nonsense.
Xu Qian naturally wanted to promote the "stupid thief candidate" of "Home Alone" from within Beyond Entertainment, but Xu Qian felt that Wang Yu's eldest brother was good, stupid, and very fun.
However, Wang Yu's eldest brother has become much more mature than before since he became a director, and his aura has disappeared, and he is not as cute as before.
Wang Yu's eldest brother is not a natural actor in the end, and he has not been able to preserve that natural aura well, which also shows that people will always grow, even Wang Yu's eldest brother cannot be simple and naΓ―ve forever.
Xu Qian will brush some old movies when he is bored, for example, he is brushing Hong Kong films this time, needless to say, the glory of Hong Kong films is needless to say, it was once known as the Hollywood of the East, and Hong Kong Island has also become one of the world's film factories by virtue of its projectile land.
Of course, that is only the past, with the advent of the 21st century, Hong Kong films have long been no longer vigorous, not only the Southeast Asian market has been lost, but even the local market has been unable to defend, and the most brilliant years are gone after all.
Although Hong Kong films have declined, Hong Kong films have left many classics after all.
Xu Qian is now watching one of them, "The King of Gambling".
Gambling films in Hong Kong films are a very important genre branch, and "The King of Gamblers" is one of the masterpieces, "The King of Gamblers" is still a very old-fashioned story in the end, the former gambling king quit the rivers and lakes because he was framed, and vowed never to gamble again, and later came back to take revenge on his former enemy for the title of gambling king.
As expected, in the end, the revenge was successful, and the gambling king donated all the property he had won, and warned everyone not to gamble anymore, because the small gamble is pleasant, and the big gamble hurts the body.
All in all, this is a story of the return of the king, Xu Qian watched it with relish, although the picture quality of this movie is not very clear, but the plot and rhythm are very clear, even if you look at it from the current perspective, it is still classic.
I have to say that the reason why Hong Kong films were able to sweep the whole world back then has its own uniqueness.
Xu Gan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was attracted by a person in "The King of Gamblers", who was not surprising in appearance, but his every move could make people laugh.
"That's Uncle Da. β
Xu Qian almost blurted out.
His eyes lit up, Uncle Da is not the protagonist, he has almost never played the leading role in his life, and almost all the roles he plays are supporting roles.
Despite this, this person has left a strong mark in the golden age of Hong Kong films, and the supporting roles he plays are very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and can always make people laugh, which is why Uncle Da is called "Gold Medal Supporting Actor".
Xu Qian looked at this "The King of Gambling" and gradually had an idea in his heart: "Maybe you can invite Uncle Da to participate in the stupid thief in "Home Alone". β
Needless to say, Uncle Da's acting skills and funny skills have proven himself in that era, the most important thing is that "Uncle Da" is still very young, and others look very old, but now he is in the year of fighting, he has not had many works over the years, but because of the decline of Hong Kong films, he has no chance to prove himself.
"It's you, Uncle Da. β
Xu Qian made a decision in his heart.
