Chapter 807: Two Months Vacation

Jack Lucas finally rushed over, and when he heard Jiang Xia's words, he hurriedly walked out and said, "Jiang, Louis, what's wrong?"

。

It's just that Louis and Jiang Xia, although they both want to give him this face, they don't relax with each other.

"Lucas, it's okay with you, director Louis is very good, and I'm asking director Luis for advice. Jiang Xia said in a strange manner.

He did it on purpose, to arouse Louis's competitive spirit.

Louis was really fooled, and said angrily: "Jack, don't stop me, I have to let this Chinese know what level Hollywood is, you say, how to bet, I will take it." ”

Gonzalez also ran over at this time, saw Jack Lucas, pulled him and asked, "What's the situation?"

It seems that Louis has provoked Jiang by speaking, and Jiang is going to pull Louis to make a bet. Jack Lucas whispered to Gonzalez.

Gonzalez was surprised, "Bet on what?"

"I don't know, keep watching, I can't even pull the frame open. Jack Lucas said.

Not only Gonzalez, but many people who came found out that something was going on here, and they all gathered around, wondering what was going on.

As soon as you talk to each other, you know what's going on.

Jiang Xia and Louis didn't stop.

"I heard that you are going to make a cult movie, is it a horror movie? I don't bully you, I also make a cult movie, which is also a horror movie, let's compete, how about it?" Jiang Xia asked.

"Hmph, young man, you still have to learn to be humble. It's better to shoot what you make, what I shoot, make a cult movie, do you know what a cult movie is?" Louis said with a disdain for Jiang Xia.

"That's what it doesn't matter. Jiang Xia said, "You just said that this is not okay, right?"

"Looking for abuse by myself, of course I agreed. Louis said, "It also just gives you a look at what is called real film art." Movies are not for a hodgepodge like you to dabble in. ”

Jiang Xia shrugged his shoulders and said, "In that case, Director Louis, since we have decided to gamble, we have to decide the way." In order to prevent you from being convinced, let's compare from various aspects this time. ”

"How do you compare?" Louis asked, frowning.

"Every aspect. The rate of return on investment and box office, that's a little bit of a point, do you have no opinion?" Jiang Xia said.

"No comment. Luis had no objection.

Although the box office of his cult movies is not high, it is due to the genre of cult movies, not that he can't do it. In the cult movie box office, his movie box office is not bad.

He didn't think that Jiang Xia's movie box office could surpass him, so he subconsciously ignored the word rate of return.

"Excuse me, friends, be a witness, do you have friends who have photography? I'm going to make a bet with Director Louis that everyone will make a cult movie, it's a horror movie, right? Director Louis?" Jiang Xia asked.

"Yes. Louis nodded, "You record it, so that no one will admit it." ”

In fact, there is no need for the two of them to say, someone in the crowd has already started recording, and a place like Hollywood is not a good place, how many of the vanity fairs that compete for fame and fortune are innocent?

Jiang Xia continued: "The first decisive point we bet on is the return rate of investment and box office, and whoever has the highest rate of return wins. Second, I heard that director Louis often participates in various film festivals when making films? So our second decisive point is that our two films go to the same film festival to see who wins more awards, how about it?"

"No problem. However, young people, some film festivals have a high threshold for selection, if you can't even be selected, then don't blame me for bullying you. Luis said.

"Definitely, we're competing with whomever the festival wins. For example, if you go to five film festivals and Director Louis participates in all of them, and I only participate in two films, then Director Louis will definitely win. Jiang Xia explained, "Even if I win fifty awards at two film festivals, I will lose." How?"

"In the end, it depends on who wins or loses? But what if there are only four? a 2-2 draw?" Luis asked.

"Then it's a fight for the number of awards. Jiangxia said.

"Yes. Louis nodded.

It is the first time that two people have made such a bet, and it is obvious that Jiang Xia has thought about it very clearly, and even counted the more important film festival entries of cult films, and also clarified the rules of the competition.

"It's a novel way to bet. ”

"It's the first time I've seen such a bet. ”

"Jiang is very confident, huh?"

"Cult movies, it's not easy to make. ”

"It's easy to shoot, but it's hard to shoot. ”

"Jiang is a little bit big, cult movies, bet with Louis, don't you know that Louis is the most powerful director of cult movies at the moment?"

"I don't really like cult movies, it's too evil. ”

The people around are also expressing their opinions, Hollywood star gatherings, often make some trouble, anyway, there is no reporter here, they can't bear to have contradictions, if there is a reporter, it's another matter, hello everyone, hello everyone, everyone, hello everyone, the scene will definitely be photographed by reporters, and other pictures, reporters will definitely not be able to shoot other pictures.

What they said is also good, before Hollywood people had contradictions, they all talked about a few words of ridicule, and then it was a big deal not to communicate with each other, not to find comfort in each other's plays, and not to cooperate with each other.

Therefore, in Hollywood blockbuster movies, you can see many superstars who have never cooperated with each other, some have no chance, and some have contradictions.

The contradiction between Jiang Xia and Louis is not a big contradiction in the eyes of many people, but this way of betting is indeed quite unexpected, Jiang Xia dared to smash the cult film field to challenge Louis, he really thinks he is an all-rounder?

"The third and final point, let's look at the cast. Jiang Xia said.

"Huh, cast?" Louis smiled dismissively.

Many people around also shook their heads, Louis has been in Hollywood for so many years, and if he wants to find actors, world-class superstars can invite two, even if it is a cult movie, there will be people who will star because of favors. Jiangxia, a Chinese who has just entered Hollywood, wants to network with Louis?

Bite off more than one can chew!

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia said: "Yes, the cast, whose cast is weaker than us this time." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

"What a clever way. ”

"It's really smart, just scrap one of Louis's ways. ”

"The appeal of actors is very strong, and without top actors, movies will become elusive. ”

"Jiang is very smart. ”

Of course Louis could think of what they said, and he said angrily: "You know my cast, so you said that, I can't agree to this, you change it." ”

Louis is going to make a cult movie, the news has already spread, and preparations have already begun, the actors have been found, and there are two second-tier actors, who are the leading actors. It is not easy to invite two second-tier actors.

If you promise Jiang Xia, then in the third competition, you will definitely lose.

There are three decisive points in total, and he is definitely not happy to let one out.

Even if he was confident, Louis would not play like this, so he definitely disagreed with the weakness of the cast.

Jiang Xia was not unhappy when he saw that he disagreed, but said: "Since you don't agree with this, then the third point, change it to one and change it to the shooting time." Whoever shoots for the shortest time wins. ”

"That's acceptable. Louis nodded in agreement.

Andre is not good outside, Jiang Xia doesn't know Luis's record.

"Jiang doesn't know about Louis's record? Louis once made a movie in 20 days, quite quickly. ”

"Louis is a well-known fast-hand director. ”

"Jiang is going to kick on the iron plate this time. ”

"I'm not optimistic about Jiang's competition, the overall is too weak. ”

"After all, it's Louis. ”

"Cult movies aren't that simple. ”

The people around him said one after another, meaning to tell Jiang Xia that in terms of shooting time, you really don't get wet.

Jiang Xia didn't seem to hear it, and said to Luis: "Director Louis, your film has been preparing for a while, and we are not comparing the preparation time, only the time from the start to the finale, to see who is shorter." ”

"Yes. Don't cry your nose when you lose. Luis said.

"It's me who proposes the bet and the way, and the outcome of winning or losing, of course, is you. Jiang Xia said.

"Young man, you sent it to your door. If you lose, I won't embarrass you much, as long as you honestly don't make any more movies in the future, don't say that you are a director, we directors can't afford to lose that person. Luis said.

Jiang Xia asked, "What if you lose?"

"I'm not going to lose. Louis said confidently.

Jiang Xia smiled: "There is always a certain probability." ”

"If I lose, I'm not going to make a movie again. Louis snorted coldly, making a big bet.

There was an uproar.

"Luis, don't. ”

"There's no need to put your future on the line. ”

"That's it, Luis, change it. ”

Even Jack Lucas said, "Luis, don't be impulsive, change another." ”

"That's it, Luis, another one. Gonzalez also said.

Andre also said: "Director Louis, change one, there's no need." ”

Jiang Xia said: "Director Louis, they are right, you are like this, the bets are a bit unequal. ”

"No, I seem to be equal. If I lose, I won't film anymore, if you lose, you won't film anymore, it's quite equal. Louis said stubbornly.

"Then I don't agree. Jiang Xia said.

Louis frowned.

The rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief, if Jiang Xia really agreed, and in the end, if Yi Yi Yi accidentally lost to Jiang Xia, it would be a little bad.

Everyone thought Louis was betting too much and shouldn't have bet that way.

Jiang Xia said: "It's better to be like this, Director Louis, if you lose, you can't film within two years, go to further study and take a degree." If I lose, I won't film for five years and I'll take a degree, how about it?"

"Good. André said, "Director Louis, so be it." ”

"It's just, Luiz, so be it, that's the best bet. ”

"Great choice for a degree, Luis. ”

"Jiang is indeed very smart. ”

"Pretty smart. ”

Under the persuasion of a group of people, Louis nodded and said, "Okay, young people have a studious heart, and there is salvation." So it was decided, I started shooting next month, and I will participate in the first film festival in September. If you want to catch up with the same period, it's best to speed it up. ”

"Don't worry, there is a shooting speed in our bet, and I will definitely speed up the shooting. Jiang Xia said.

"It's good that you know. Luis said.

After the two made a gambling contract, Jiang Xia was pulled away by Andre and them, and Louis also followed a few friends to other places, and the surrounding onlookers also scattered in twos and threes, just the topic of discussion, and it was still on the gambling contract just now.

Some people who didn't understand the reason before are also beginning to understand.

Jack Lucas pulled Jiang Xia to the side, and said helplessly: "I originally wanted to introduce you to some friends, but it seems that there is no need at all, Jiang, how could you bet with Louis? They all think that this is a good shot, but it is actually difficult. ”

"Don't worry, I know what to do. Jiang Xia said, "I can't let him keep saying bad things about me, but I didn't respond, this is not my character, he said no, I told him, I can." ”

"Cult movies, are you really good?" Andre asked, "If it's a commercial film, even if it's a special effects blockbuster, I'm not too worried, you have to make a cult movie, or a horror movie, I remember you don't watch horror movies, right?"

"Don't look at it. Jiang Xia nodded, "But that doesn't mean I won't shoot." ”

"Are you really good?" said Andrei, still not convinced.

"Okay, I've got the script ready. Jiang Xia said.

"What are you going to do with your actors, your team, or something?" asked Andre.

Jiang Xia said: "Look for it slowly, there is still more than a month before my vacation, and I will talk about it after the holiday." ”

"Two months of vacation, making a cult movie, almost. "It's just that I can't help you, I don't have a vacation here." ”

"I don't need your help. Jiang Xia smiled, "Cult movies don't need a big team. ”

"Envy you, Jiang, there are two months of vacation soon. Jack Lucas said.

"I envy you too. Gonzalez said.

They really envy Jiang Xia, they are also the leading actors, Jiang Xia has plenty of time, there are more scenes filmed in these two months, a little bit of improvement, and in another month, his role can be completed a large part. According to the shooting plan, Jiang Xia had no camera for two months, so he had two months of vacation.

Jiang Xia was also ready to make good use of these two holidays, and was originally going to make a horror movie to surprise Louis, but today he actually met and made a bet, then this surprise is not a surprise, but it is more eye-catching.

The three decisive conditions were after Jiang Xia's careful consideration.

Rate of return, shooting time, awards.

In three aspects, "Chainsaw" has advantages, and it is not a small advantage, a classic cult movie, a classic series of horror films, Jiang Xia is confident that he can defeat Louis.

No one knows the source of his confidence, and several people don't mention the gambling contract, but they are not optimistic, including Andre, who is not optimistic about Jiang Xia, maybe when "Chainsaw" sets off a boom, they will know that Jiang Xia's confidence is so sufficient.
