Lizhen Film and Television Company, President's Office. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is where Zhou Lizhen usually works, with bookshelves with more than 300 books on the left and a sofa with blankets and pillows on the right.

Zhou Lizhen sometimes works late at night and does not go home to rest, and will sleep directly on the sofa in the office.

"Master Huang, sit casually. ”

"Good. ”

Huang Yongle sat on the sofa and found a movie script on the table, called "Phoenix".

When I picked it up and looked at it, I found that "Phoenix" was an unfinished movie script, which was deleted, altered, and changed like graffiti, which was very confusing.

"I make jasmine tea, do you drink it?"

"Drink. ”

Not long after, Zhou Lizhen brought a cup of brewed jasmine tea, handed it over, and introduced: "I wrote this script "Phoenix", and it is one of the movies that the company is preparing to shoot this year. ”

"Are you going to shoot Phoenix?"

"Hmm. However, the script is not finished yet. ”

Huang Yongle took a cursory look at the script of "Phoenix" and found that this is a disaster movie, and the theme is similar to the classic disaster film "Titanic" on Earth.

"Phoenix" also tells the story of the sinking of a giant cruise ship.

More than 90 years ago, Huaxia built a luxury cruise ship, the cruise ship is magnificent, the shape of the hull is like a phoenix, so it was named "Phoenix".

"Phoenix" was one of the largest and most luxurious cruise ships in China at that time, known as the "Queen of Cruise Ships", and was sought after by many celebrities.

And 92 years ago, the "Phoenix" cruise ship sank in the Great South Ocean during a long voyage, and more than 1,600 tourists and crew members on the cruise ship were killed. As for the cause of the sinking of the Phoenix and the location of the sinking, it has always been an unsolved mystery.

In the more than 70 years since the sinking of the Phoenix, Huaxia has repeatedly tried to detect the location of the sinking of the cruise ship, but unfortunately nothing has been found.

For more than 90 years, the reason for the sinking of the "Phoenix" has been a topic of endless debate.

The movie script "Phoenix" created by Zhou Lizhen is adapted from the "Phoenix" shipwreck.

"The theme of "Phoenix" is good. Huang Yongle said, "However, the shooting cost of this kind of disaster film is very high and the risk is very high. ”

Zhou Lizhen nodded: "You're right, the input cost of "Phoenix" is higher than that of "Beautiful World", conservatively estimated, at least 1 billion. However, no matter how much money I invest, I want to make this film. ”

"Why?" Huang Yongle wondered.

Zhou Lizhen said: "When the Phoenix sank that year, more than 1,600 people were killed on board, and my maternal great-grandfather was one of the victims. ”

"Your maternal great-grandfather was on the Phoenix?"

"Hmm. Zhou Lizhen took a sip of jasmine tea and said slowly, "My maternal great-grandfather's name is Zhou Duhai, a businessman, and 92 years ago, he took the 'Phoenix' cruise ship. As a result, the cruise ship sank mysteriously in the Great South Sea, and my maternal great-grandfather has not been heard from since. I've always wanted to make a movie about the Phoenix, but the cost of filming was too high and the money wasn't enough. Now I have more money, so I want to give it a try. ”

Huang Yongle understood that Zhou Lizhen filmed "Phoenix" to commemorate her maternal great-grandfather, which can be regarded as filial piety.

"Master Huang, what do you think of the script of "Phoenix"?"

"I don't know much about the filming of disaster films. Huang Yongle said, "However, a simple disaster movie lacks soul, and I think it is better to have a story in the film." You don't need a big story, just a small story. The contrast between the small story and the big disaster is more shocking and down-to-earth. ”

Zhou Lizhen agreed: "I think the same as you. I've been trying to make up a story for Phoenix these days, but I'm not satisfied. ”

"I'll give you a few ideas for your reference. Huang Yongle said, "The first idea is a love story. The protagonist is a poor painter who for some reason gets on a Phoenix cruise ship and meets the daughter of a rich family, and although they are in different classes, the two fall in love. When the Phoenix sank, the love between the two went through the test of life and death, and the poor painter finally protected his lover with his life. ”

Zhou Lizhen nodded: "This story is quite romantic. ”

"Of course, "Phoenix" doesn't necessarily have to be a love story, and I will provide an idea of a family story. Huang Yongle added, "The protagonist is a father who led his son on the Phoenix cruise ship. When the cruise ship sank, the father lied that it was an adventure game and took his son on the cruise ship to experience nine deaths and find an escape route, and the son kept mistaking it for a game and had a good time. When the game is played, the father dies and the son is saved. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Lizhen's pretty face showed a surprised expression, and she cast a strange look at Huang Yongle.

"What's wrong?" Huang Yongle wondered.

"You...... You're amazing!" Zhou Lizhen exclaimed, "Did you come up with such a story in an instant? The two stories you made up casually are more interesting than the stories I racked my brains to conceive." ”

Huang Yongle's two stories were not come up by himself, but were based on movies on the earth. The first story is based on "Titanic", and the second story is based on the Italian movie "Life is Beautiful".

"Both of these stories are pretty good, so I quickly wrote them down. Zhou Lizhen held the pen, rustled, and wrote it down.

Huang Yongle said: "If "Phoenix" is really going to be filmed, it is obviously a huge project, and the most challenging thing is the scene of the sinking of the cruise ship. ”

"It's fun when there's a challenge. Zhou Lizhen said, "The filming location of "Phoenix" is preliminarily set in Huludao in the Great South Ocean. ”

"Why Huludao?"

"Because the Phoenix passed through Huludao before sinking. Zhou Lizhen said, "The location of the sinking of the Phoenix is still a mystery. I've been gathering information about the sinking of the Phoenix for several years, and at the beginning of this year, I learned a very important piece of information from an old fisherman. The old fisherman said that his grandfather was a fisherman in Huludao, and 92 years ago, he saw the Phoenix cruise ship passing by the waters north of Huludao. And eight hours later, the Phoenix sank. If this information is true, it is possible to roughly guess the location of the sinking of the Phoenix. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Lizhen used a computer to open a map of the waters near Huludao and explained, "The Phoenix once sailed from the north shore of Huludao from east to west at a speed of about 30 knots, and sank after 8 hours. Therefore, the site of the sinking of the Phoenix is about 240 nautical miles northwest of Huludao. Here it is. ”

Zhou Lizhen's finger drew a circle on the map of the Great South Seas.

Huang Yongle looked at it fixedly and asked, "Since the Phoenix may have sunk here, didn't the relevant departments salvage it?"

Zhou Lizhen said: "I inquired about these news from an old fisherman, and I can't be sure whether they are true or not. It has been 92 years since the sinking of the Phoenix, and the Salvage Bureau probably gave up a long time ago. If there is no conclusive information, I am afraid they will not probe again. After all, detecting shipwrecks on the seabed is a time-consuming and laborious task. ”

Hearing this, Huang Yongle was immediately full of interest in the "Phoenix" cruise ship.

Because the salvage bureau was unwilling to salvage the sunken ship, Huang Yongle could salvage the sunken ship by himself.

He has a lottery system, once he can find the specific location of the wreck, he can draw the wreck from the bottom of the sea in minutes.

Huang Yongle turned on his computer and looked up information about the "Phoenix" cruise ship on the Internet.

The Phoenix was one of the most luxurious giant cruise ships at that time, with a total length of 298.5 meters and a width of 30 meters...... Everything you need, the first class rooms on the cruise ship are all top-of-the-line configuration.

Of course, these are actually useless, the cruise ship has sunk for 92 years, and no matter how luxurious it was, it is now estimated that it has long been covered by silt on the bottom of the sea, and it is unrecognizable.

The real attraction is the treasure on board.

The tourists on the Phoenix are all celebrities, including the rich, artists, and celebrities, and they should carry a lot of valuable things with them, such as gold, silver, jewelry, and the like.

If he can find these things, Huang Yongle can extract them directly from the bottom of the sea.

In addition, if the location of the sinking of the "Phoenix" can really be found, Huang Yongle and Lizhen Film and Television will also become the biggest beneficiaries.

Because Lizhen Film and Television is preparing to shoot the movie "Phoenix", once the sinking site of the "Phoenix" cruise ship is exposed, it will inevitably become a global hot spot, which will undoubtedly give the movie "Phoenix" a perfect advertisement.

At that time, it will be difficult for the movie "Phoenix" to become popular.

Therefore, finding the sinking site of the "Phoenix" will be of great benefit to Huang Yongle.

"Mr. Zhou, "Phoenix" is well filmed, and this movie has a lot to offer. Huang Yongle said.

Zhou Lizhen asked seriously: "Are you very optimistic about this movie?"

Huang Yongle said: "It's not that I'm optimistic, but that God wills like this." I had just watched the sky at night, and the film was destined to be a hit. ”

Zhou Lizhen smiled lightly: "Borrow Master Huang's auspicious words." By the way, I like the two stories you just provided and want to buy them. You make a bid, I'll buy ...... now."

"Just two stories, take it if you like. ”

"No, a good story is worth a lot, you name it. As much as you say, you can do as much. ”

"Five cents. ”

"......," Zhou Lizhen said, "How can there be a script for five cents?"

Huang Yongle said: "My story sells for five cents, and you can choose not to buy it." ”

Zhou Lizhen was speechless for a while, she estimated that Huang Yongle would not accept the money, so she could only give him the money in another way in the future.

Talking about this, Huang Yongle picked up the jasmine tea and poured it down. Recently, I have eaten too much fish and meat, and I feel very comfortable by drinking some flower tea to clear my stomach.

System prompt: The host drank the jasmine tea brewed by Zhou Lizhen, and the happiness index was +5!

"Mr. Zhou, you're busy, I'll go first. ”

After that, Huang Yongle left Lizhen Film and Television and returned to Banana Villa.

He is going to use the lottery system to search for the giant cruise ship "Phoenix" that sank at the bottom of the Great South Ocean 92 years ago......
