Chapter 257: Rookie Lizhi

Broadcast the word, DreamWorks Villa!

When Wang Zifan arrived, he happened to see a beautiful woman cleaning the house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lizhi is wearing a very formal dress today, wearing a standard black overalls on her upper body, a small mountain bag on her chest is bulging, a black miniskirt on her lower body, a flesh-black leggings on her legs, red high heels on her feet, and she and Liu Jialing both elected a beauty contest in May, but they were eliminated in the first round, and then applied for a job as a clerk at DreamWorks, and were assigned to Beiyuan to manage Friends of DreamWorks.

"Mr. Wang!"

Lizhi also deliberately painted light makeup, reached out to take the boss's document bag, and when she bent over, the entire career line was also revealed.

Wang Zifan praised: "Your dress is becoming more and more tasteful, I remember that when you went to work a few months ago, you were still wearing sportswear!"

A touch of red appeared on Lizhi's face, when life was stressful, where would he think about dressing up, now he sits in the office all day and has nothing to do, and he mixes with his girlfriends after work, Liu Jialing and Weng Meiling have become household names because of the fire of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and they have been with them for a long time, so they have naturally been edified, especially Liu Jialing, the two have bought a lot of fashionable clothes and expensive cosmetics.

"Mr. Wang, I used to be very dirty!"

Li Zhi now doesn't dare to imagine what she used to look like, wash her hair once every three days, wear a piece of clothing for a week, and dress up seriously once a month, as for jewelry, she doesn't necessarily have to buy one a year, and she buys a bargain from a roadside stall, so that when she applied for the job, the interviewer said that she was dirty, and she refused, if it weren't for Wang Zifan who happened to pass by, she still didn't know where she was.

Li Zhi style in "Double Dragon Club" has been taught, that is called peerless elegance, Wang Zifan pondered for a while, and said very vividly: "You used to be like an ugly duckling, now you are a white swan, and you will become a goddess in the future!"

Am I a goddess?

Li Zhi was inexplicably happy in his heart, lowered his head embarrassedly, and said shyly: "I haven't thanked Mr. Wang yet, if it weren't for you, maybe I would still be working in the department store, and I would definitely repay you." ”

Wang Zifan nodded secretly, Lizhi is still quite supple like this, and she is becoming more and more feminine, and I believe that she will be able to go to the screen soon.

"Make me a cup of tea!"

"Okay!"

As soon as they spoke, others arrived, Huang Baiming from New Art City, Mecca, Chen Xunqi from Yongjia, and Zeng Zhiwei from DreamWorks, Teddy Robin, Shi Nansheng and others, all of whom were old acquaintances of each other, talking and laughing.

"Mr. Wang!"

"Mr. Wang!"

"Mr. Wang!"

……

Everyone had a greeting, Wang Zifan just nodded and signaled, "Sit down!"

Li Zhi brought a cup of ginseng tea and was taken by Mecca, only to see him holding it in both hands and handing it to Wang Zifan, with a hippie smile that was quite a bit of the taste of the bald guy playing a scoundrel in the movie.

Wang Zifan also knew that he was indirectly admitting his mistake, so he took it with a smile.

Zeng Zhiwei joked: "Bald guy, you won't just shoot the boss's ass, right?"

Teddy Robin pinched his voice and coaxed, "I'm dying of thirst!"

The bald guy laughed and scolded: "Get out!"

Everyone laughed, and Chen Xunqi took the opportunity to stand up and show his loyalty: "Mr. Wang, my Yongjia will be DreamWorks Satellite Company in the future, please take care of it!"

"Of course no problem!" Wang Zifan smiled and agreed, compared with Yongjia Company, he values Chen Xunqi more as a person, he can act, direct, sing and write lyrics behind the scenes, he is an all-round talent, with him joining, DreamWorks has a deeper heritage, but unfortunately this person does not understand the general trend and has no prestige, otherwise Xiangjiang Movies will have a place for him.

After speaking, Wang Zifan pretended to groan, and everyone stopped talking when they saw him like this.

"A lot has happened to DreamWorks recently, but everyone has finally gotten together, we have our own cinema chain, DreamWorks has become the largest film company in Hong Kong, and DreamWorks and Golden Harvest have begun to promote their Hollywood blockbusters, and we can't lag behind!"

Zeng Zhiwei said with great interest: "Is Mr. Wang planning to enter the United States?"

Teddy Robin said, "The United States is a big market!"

Huang Baiming smiled: "I also think it's time!"

Mecca touched his bald head, smiled and didn't speak, after the job-hopping Golden Princess incident, his prestige was greatly reduced, he used to be the second, and now the right to speak is a problem, thinking of Hollywood, his eyes swept away, not only Xu Ke was not there, even the literary school Zhang Aijia and the kung fu school Hong Jinbao did not come, it seems that Afan wants to make a comedy.

Wang Zifan motioned for Li Zhi to send the script he brought, and introduced: "I wrote two script outlines, and today I will mainly discuss the plot!"

Chen Xunqi showed a stunned expression, he had heard of the name of the 'DreamWorks Eight Immortals' for a long time, and he had inadvertently participated in it, but there were already more than eight people in the room.

"Home Alone!"

"The Grim Reaper is Coming!"

"It's a bit of a fantasy movie!"

"It's a bit of a suspense to make a fantasy movie in the United States!"

"You guys will talk about it after reading it...... Mecca subconsciously or can't help but come out to preside over the overall situation, he used to play this role, DreamWorks Eight Immortals are talented and talented, but there are all kinds of thoughts, there must be someone to control, otherwise everyone can blow to the edge of the sky!

Everyone subconsciously silenced, Wang Zifan didn't say anything, although he is the owner of DreamWorks, but he is indeed inferior to Mecca in this regard, not only has a bright head, but also needs professional knowledge, and can command other people's thoughts, so that everyone can work hard to make a place, Mecca is professional in this regard, which is also the reason why Wang Zifan forgave him.

Huang Baiming looked at it carefully, his eyes lit up and said, "This story is interesting!"

Mecca breathed a sigh of relief, he had been acknowledged just now, and he also read the story outline of "Home Alone", and nodded slowly: "Comedy also has a big market in the United States, this story is ingenious, I think it can be arranged to be released at Christmas!"

Teddy Robin crouched in his chair and pinched his fingers, reminding, "There are still 4 months until the Christmas full count, is it still too late?"

Chen Xunqi looked surprised and couldn't help but say, "Are you planning to release it this Christmas?"

This is too appalling, Golden Harvest and Ts's Hollywood blockbusters are calculated on an annual basis, such as "Cannonball Speed", which was prepared for more than half a year, filmed for more than half a year, plus the later stage, it took nearly two years, not to mention Shaw, Shaw released the wind to shoot "Blade Runner" in 78, but it was prepared for two years, filming only started last year, and it was only scheduled to be released in September this year, and now DreamWorks wants to make a Hollywood movie in four months, which is simply impossible, and it is almost the same in Hong Kong.

Huang Baiming, Mecca, Zeng Zhiwei, Teddy Robin and others showed tacit smiles, regardless of Hollywood or Hong Kong, comedy is pediatric for them, last year's Chinese New Year finale blockbuster "Best Partner" was only held for two or three days, and the box office champion of literary films "If the Wine Sells Nothing" is even more concise, in the absence of the prince, there are only two hours to discuss and play the script.

Shi Nansheng smiled: "This should be a low-budget comedy!"

Wang Zifan pondered for a moment, imagined the movie scene, calculated the cost, and said: "If it is filmed in the United States, the cost will be about 15 million US dollars, and it will be at most 10 million Hong Kong dollars if you get it in Hong Kong!"

Although there are no scenes, the biggest expense in the United States is the labor cost, and hiring an extras is several times more expensive than in Hong Kong.

Mecca didn't hesitate to say, "Then shoot in Hong Kong!"

Huang Baiming hesitated: "Will this affect the box office of the film?"

Zeng Zhiwei nodded and agreed: "The film must be set in the United States, and we will add a few actors to it at most!"

Shi Nansheng's heart moved, and he proposed: "We can go to Europe to shoot!"

Wang Zifan said in a word: "On the contrary, I think it is better to choose the United States, it is easier to rent the studios of the eight major companies, and it is easier to distribute, for the sake of cost, some scenes can be placed in Hong Kong!"

Mecca, who has spent time in the United States, knows the production cost best, and can't help but praise: "This can save at least 30 million Hong Kong dollars!"

Chen Xunqi felt that the cost was too small, he couldn't afford to hire big-name stars, and he couldn't shoot any big scenes, so he worried: "Can such a film be a blockbuster in Hollywood!"

Everyone was stunned and couldn't help but want to laugh, will Wang Zifan's film not be a blockbuster?

Mecca coughed twice and reminded, "Let's discuss the plot below!"

Zeng Zhiwei was the first to speak: "I have an idea......

Next, everyone and I began to improve the plot, everyone has their own division of labor, Huang Baiming, Zeng Zhiwei is responsible for the jokes, one joke after another, Teddy Robin adds these jokes to the logic, and then Shi Nansheng politely analyzes the cost, Mecca knocks when he sees whoever is out of line, the prince adds from time to time, what he says is the essence of the movie version, a few cycles, he wrote a complete story, Chen Xunqi was stunned, he also likes to make movies and personally work on the script, but it is two or three months!

Mecca arrived: "Almost!"

Zeng Zhiwei said: "After all, it's a Hollywood film, do you want to add a few more laughs?"

Wang Zifan looked at his watch, more than four hours had passed, and he had a feeling that a white horse had passed through the gap, and nodded: "Yes, you can think about it again when you go back!"

Zeng Zhiwei was still immersed in the story of "Home Alone", so he naturally agreed.

Mecca's eyes flashed, "What do you think about the next "Death is Coming"?"

In this movie, Wang Zifan wrote an outline very simple, a high school student and his classmates were about to take a plane to Paris, before taking off, he suddenly had an ominous premonition, in which he saw the plane explode in the air, and the terrified actor shouted loudly, telling the passengers that the plane was about to crash, and there was chaos in the cabin, and the actor and 6 other passengers were kicked out of the cabin in the chaos...... Then the next is the outline of the seven people who were 'named' by the Grim Reaper one by one, and they didn't even bother to write how each person died.

The selling point of the movie is the universality of the theme, at least Wang Zifan feels the same way, every time he boards the plane, he will feel that he is putting his fate in the hands of others, according to this assumption, how fate will be intertwined with life, becoming a red light at the intersection of life!

Huang Baiming shook his head and said, "I can't understand it!"

Chen Xunqi said tentatively: "This is a horror movie!"

Wang Zifan thought about it and said with a smile: "It can be said that it can also be said that it is not!"

The biggest difference between the "Death Comes" series and ordinary horror films is that it is the invisible hand that plays with human life, not a fierce butcher with a knife and a mask on his head, or a poisonous woman with fluttering black hair and a shaky white dress. As long as the old man of death who never shows up sets the procedure for inviting you into the urn, let alone a steamed bun, even a hair can cause a huge bloody case, and for the audience, those accidents and deaths caused by "coincidence" are precisely the golden signature of the series.

In fact, the director of the "Death is Coming" series is Chinese, from the very beginning Wang Zifan knew very well that "Death is Coming" is not a bloody horror film, there are no bloodthirsty madmen and monsters in the story at all, and every object and event that presents an omen in the film is not a hint at whether the characters will die, but about how they die or how to delay their deaths, death is not suspenseful in the film, because the protagonists are in a catastrophe, There is no doubt that the entertainment value of the film lies in the process of the journey of death rather than the result, as the premise of the establishment of the story of the film, the inevitability of death also contains philosophical implications.

Teddy Robin liked this kind of logical script very much, and smiled: "I think it's wonderful!"

Mecca saw that someone agreed, so he suppressed the objections, in fact, he was not optimistic about this film, it was not a comedy or a horror film, in his eyes, it was not like four, in order not to make the film lose money, he muttered for a moment and said: "You can add some kung fu elements, the United States still likes to watch Chinese kung fu, you can learn from "Best Partner"!"

Wang Zifan said: "You can try, but you can't be the subject!"

Shi Nansheng concluded: "The film revolves around a class of middle school students!"

Wang Zifan said: "The story of the film does revolve around a group of middle schools, but the theme and concept of the story are not limited to this. ”

Huang Baiming said with a smile: "This story reminds me of a sentence: The king of Hades wants people to die in the third watch, who dares to stay in the fifth watch!

Wang Zifan nodded secretly, the "Grim Reaper is Coming" series does belong to a typical "Hades wants people to die three watches, who dares to stay for five watches" horror films, and the series surpasses similar films in the past, which lies in its unique script worldview design, that is, a wonderful fatalistic interpretation, although it is a small-budget film, but the audience will be attracted as long as they walk into the cinema, and finally fall into it, Wang Zifan watched "Death is Coming 5" in the cinema, and then went home to watch the first four in one go.

This is a low-budget movie with unintentional insertion, even in 2000, the cost of the film was 20 million when it started filming, and now it is 1981, even if it is put in the United States, plus the publicity cost is at most 10 million.

It's time to discuss the plot again, this time Wang Zifan didn't speak, I feel that the original plot is not as exciting as what came out of the mouths of Huang Baiming and Zeng Zhiwei, when DreamWorks was first established, he could hold up a piece of the sky alone, but to defeat Jiahe and Wei, he still has to rely on these subordinates.
