Chapter 831: Preparing for Filming "The Hangover"
Chapter 831 Preparing to Shoot "The Hangover"
Zhang Storovsky and Adele Natalie, who were just born, showed a different state from Jiang Chenxi. Le Wen XS520. COM
Especially Zhang Storovsky, I don't know if he knows that he has such a sad name, so he makes a lot of trouble and cries there all day long.
When Jiang Chenxi was first born, he was always very well-behaved, and even now, he is very well-behaved for a while, and rarely cries.
Zhang Pengpeng's two children are different, Zhang Storovsky is crying, as soon as he cries, Adele Natalie next to him also cries.
The two children can toss the whole family a lot, and it is thanks to the fact that there are many women here, and there is a special nursing team, which can be regarded as stabilizing the scene.
Rao is like this, the two children, and Jiang Xia is not lightly tossed.
Zhang Starovsky is not polite to him, who is a father, as long as he sees Jiang Xia, he cries, let alone hugs, it is simply an extravagant hope.
Adele Natalie is the same, following her brother's steps, not being polite to Jiang Xia at all, crying when she sees it, and making trouble when she touches it.
Finally, in mid-December, when the two children were full moon, Jiang Xia was kicked out by the family.
The reason given by Zhang Pengpeng is: "You are not at home, the two children are making a lot of trouble, as long as you are at home, the trouble will not stop at all, hurry up, hurry up, do whatever you want." ”
"Hey, don't take people out like this. Jiang Xia said.
"That's it, what's the matter!" Zhang Peng said stiffly.
Jiang Xia looked at You Fangfei as if asking for help, but before You Fangfei could speak, Jiang Chenxi said: "Dad, I will take care of my younger brothers and sisters, you can make good money to buy milk powder." ”
"Hahahaha, Chenxi is right, did you hear it?"
Jiang Xia almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and his heart was congested, extremely congested.
Jiang Chenxi giggled, and hugged You Fangfei very happily, and at first glance, it was You Fangfei who taught her.
"Okay, okay, then I'm leaving, don't think about me. Jiang Xia said.
"Don't worry, I don't want you. You Fangfei said.
Jiang Xia rolled his eyes.
However, Jiang Xia really left, but not from the United States, but from New York and to Los Angeles.
After Zhang Storovsky and Adele Natalie were born, it didn't take long for Cheng Xin to call Jiang Xia and ask when Jiang Xia would return to China.
Jiang Xia stayed in North America for a year, mainly in the filming of "Falling 2", and in the middle of the filming, a "Chainsaw" collected 31 million box office in North America, with a return rate of more than 200 percent, making Paramount make a lot of money, and it was also released around the world, and maybe it could also attract a wave of box office.
Cheng Xin's intention to call Jiang Xia was to let Jiang Xia return to China to make a movie.
Jiang Xia still has twenty-one months to go in his contract with Hengying at this time, and he still owes Hengying three movies, one of which "Chainsaw 2" is almost certain to occupy one, so there are only two movies left.
Filming two movies in twenty months, with an average production cycle of ten months per movie, Cheng Xin means that Jiang Xia will make another blockbuster, and then make a passable movie, even if the contract is completed.
However, that was Cheng Xin's idea, but Jiang Xia didn't think so.
Jiang Xia's reply to Cheng Xin was: "I have to make another movie in North America, Chainsaw 2 is not in my shooting plan, it is an accident, I have to finish filming this movie before returning to China." ”
"What movie are you going to make?" asked Cheng Xin.
"An R-rated comedy, hangover. Jiang Xia said, "Inform Paramount, I'll go there after Christmas, start casting, and then start production, and I'll pass the script over now." ”
"Okay, just make your own decisions. Cheng Xin said after a while.
Therefore, after Jiang Xia was kicked out of New York, he came directly to Los Angeles and entered Paramount headquarters.
It is still Jiangxia received by Xiliu.
However, this time is completely different from the first time Jiang Xia came.
Jiang Xia came before and didn't prove himself, but now with a "Chainsaw", Jiang Xia has become a new cult movie leader and a maker of classic horror films.
Although it has only just been painted, the CD sales of "Chainsaw" have already brought Paramount a considerable income.
Jiangxia is a popular person in Paramount.
The entire upper echelons and some middle levels of Paramount stood up and discussed with Jiang Xia the issue of the new film "The Hangover",
Unlike "Chainsaw", which only costs more than one million dollars, the cost budget of "The Hangover" is 30 million US dollars.
Although it is definitely a small cost compared to the current mainstream blockbuster production in Hollywood, it can definitely be regarded as a big production compared to "Saw Horror".
For Jiang Xia himself, the cost of $30 million for "The Hangover" is no worse than that of "The City Full of Golden Armor".
An R-rated comedy costs $30 million, and Paramount executives are also discussing feasibility.
Jiang Xia had already passed the script, and Paramount executives had already discussed the filming of this movie several times, how to shoot it, how to contact Las Vegas, and so on.
"Jiang, we decided to invest $30 million in filming this hangover. But on how to shoot, we want to hear your opinion. Paramount, the representative of the West Stream, said.
Jiang Xia said: "Shoot according to the script." ”
"The cost of 30 million, plus communication, preparation time, and shooting time, takes four to five months. One of the executives said, "Is the schedule you set for the summer vacation? In other words, we are going to prepare for it right away." ”
"That's right, that's what I'm here for, I need two weeks to choose actors, especially the three lead actors, I'm going to play one of the roles, and the remaining three roles, I'm going to audition, especially Allen, which needs to be prioritized. Jiang Xia said.
"Audition done?" asked Weststream.
Jiang Xia said: "Of course, the filming will start and the crew will be formed. ”
"Okay, when I didn't ask, then we'll start preparing for the set, and in the next few months, you're going to start filming. "We're going to find the best people to join your crew." ”
"Thank you. Jiang Xia said.
With Paramount's support, the crew of Jiangxia's "The Hangover" was set up very smoothly, and it took a week to set up the basic framework of the crew.
For the past week, Jiang Xia has been interviewing the crew every day, and then signing a work contract with someone.
In the next week, Jiangxia will interview actors, and the three leading actors must be interviewed well, and some supporting roles must also be interviewed.
Among them, the most difficult interview is really Allen, that is, the fat man in the "Hangover" movie.
Without him in the whole "Hangover", the laughter is directly less than half, he can be said to be the soul of the movie, so Jiang Xia wants to find an actor who can meet his requirements.
