Although the company's morale is low, but since it has taken over, the ship will be repaired and sailed at the same time, and after the senior management of the Menghang branch gets off work, Li Yong and Liu Jing went to the villa arranged by the company for Shaogong, which is a very large private villa in Kevin Wright, and now it is transferred to Shaogong, its biggest advantage is that it is connected to two other small villas left and right, which can be used as the residence of Li Yong and Liu Jing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Shao Gong finds Kevin and discusses with him the company's next plans.

Now Kevin sees him, his attitude is completely different from the slightly proud style before, and now he is respectful, completely like a subordinate meeting a superior. Not to mention his own strength, just seeing the company like this, he didn't turn around and leave, and encouraged everyone to work together.

Kevin feels that he and this person will definitely have a great future and great development in the future.

Shao Gong sat on the sofa, crossed his fingers, and said indifferently: "Kevin, what do you think is the company's biggest dilemma at present!!" Facing this question, Kevin thought for a while and said: "Ou, are you still worried about the problem of the theater line? ”

Seeing him answer like this, Shao Gong shook his finger with a smile, and said with an unfathomable look: "Wrong, the cinema line is not a fatal injury, and it has never been." Kevin was incredulous, but he wondered why, so he wondered, "What kind of dilemma is that?" ”

"It's morale. ”

"Morale, is it power??"

Although Kevin can speak Chinese, he doesn't understand some words very well: "Speaking of local forces, we have coasts, grasslands, western wastelands, mountains and dense forests, it is said that those places have some of their own strengths, and even the local police are afraid of them, as for Austin City, in addition to some family forces, the rest is the company's security department, and even our company's security department also has gun documents, but guns and bullets are registered." ”

"Stupid, the morale I'm talking about is the current situation in the company, and now the whole company is dead and has no vitality at all. ”

Shao Gong is not surprised that the company has a gun, anyway, here is the freedom of guns and bullets, everyone can hold it, maybe even if you are in a hurry to ask for food, you can take out the revolver and point it at you, but what he wants to say is not that: "No one in this world does not like success, but years of failure, resulting in the company employees almost no hope, they are now in the company, just holding the day the company goes bankrupt, they will be relieved to work, such a team, how can it go to glory." ”

"I admit this, they also want to succeed, they also want to turn over, and they also want to make a work that will be applauded and sold. ”

Speaking of this, Kevin sighed and said with a lonely expression: "But we don't know how to succeed if we fail now." ”

"So we have to improve morale, come up with a work that is popular and sold to the audience, and regain the company's image is the biggest problem for the company at the moment. ”

"What do you have to do. ”

Asking this, Kevin shrugged his shoulders, anyway, now Shao Gong is the boss, he is already the vice president of the company, for any plan that the company plans to shoot in the future, he can only do his best to assist, and has no decision-making power: "In the past, we would always say to ourselves that it was okay to fail once, just stand up again, and if we fail twice, we will comfort ourselves that it is nothing, we still have a chance, but we have failed three times, failed four times, and failed five or six times!"

At this point, we will set our goals high, thinking that as long as we succeed at the first time, all the failures can be made up. But the result is that we set our own goals high, and the price we paid is enough, but the things we shoot are so bad that we vomit blood, and the whole industry looks at us and laughs at us, saying that we are terminally ill and old people with death notices, and the media is also lashing out at us, saying that we are already crumbling and that it is only a matter of time before we go bankrupt. ”

Speaking of this, Kevin Wright said with a solemn look: "Shaogong, unless we shoot a box office hit and can rush into the Oscars and win several awards in the future, we won't be able to turn over." What's more, we don't have a theater chain now, I still think that we must solve the theater problem first, so that we can shoot films with confidence. Otherwise, even if the film is filmed, it will not be screened in theaters. ”

Seeing that he analyzed it to the head, Shao Gong smiled and asked: "Oudian broke up with Wright, the main reason is that Wright has not had good works over the years, and people are also in business, and they have cooperated with you for many years, how can you just give up your old relationship and find another film and television company, but your film department will lose money, the audience will scold, and even the theater chain will be affected by bad reviews, so it's strange that people don't break up with you." So at present, we must first shoot a film that is well received and sold, win several awards at the Oscars, and let the company stand up and save its image first, so that we can use the new image to regain the trust of the previous theater chain. ”

"But now there are no theaters to work with us, how are our films going to be screened. ”

"You forget, I also have a cinema chain in China, as long as we sign a mutually beneficial contract with other film and television companies, our film still has the opportunity to be released in their theaters in China. ”

Shao Gong lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said with a deep gaze: "The overseas market is the external force that every film and television company dreams of, and we have this external force, as long as they can let our movies be released in their theaters, and all the box office of their movies released in Menghang Cinemas, we don't take half of the profits, do you think this condition, the old film and television companies of the magnesium country, will anyone refuse to cooperate with us?"

"I'm afraid it's hard, but I still want to try to save the European Cinema Line. ”

"There's always a good deal to prepare, and you can try it, but don't expect too much. ”

Seeing that Shaogong seemed to have a plan, Kevin wondered: "Then what movie are you going to make next, do you have any specific questions?"

"Of course, I'm going to make a catastrophic movie, a real event in history, Titanic!!"

"What??"

Hearing this, Kevin Wright shook his head and objected: "If you shoot science fiction, adventure, Star Wars, horror, action, gunfights, monsters and the like, I won't object, but if you shoot disasters, this is a cold theme at the moment, no company likes to try, and you use the real historical event Titanic, the audience already knows the ending, let alone go to the theater to watch it." ”

Seeing that his head was shaking like a rattle, Shao Gong flicked the cigarette ash in the ashtray, and said: "At present, disaster movies are cold themes, that's because there is no good movie for them to be a weather vane, if we carefully make a movie like this and make it into a romantic love disaster movie, it will definitely become one of the company's classic symbols." ”

"So how much are you going to invest in a film like this? ”

"$200 million"

"Poof!!"

The export is 200 million, Kevin Wright let out a cold fart in shock, he pinched his nose in disgust when he saw Shaogong, and his eyes looked like a monster: "What if you lose!!That's 200 million, Shaogong, you don't know much about the magnesium film market, listen to me, can you change the theme??My friend ......?"

Faced with this question, Shao Gong glanced at him coldly, and said in a stiff tone: "The money is mine, and I have my own consideration whether the movie is lost or earned, what you have to do is to assist me in filming it well, you said that I don't know anything about magnesium country movies, I will prove it to you." Do you think that if I cooperate with you, I will not do a detailed analysis of the film market and current films in the magnesium country??"

"In that case, I won't say anything more. It's late, I'm going back to rest. ”

Kevin kept shaking his head and sighing: "Anyway, you are the boss now, and you have absolute leadership over the company, I will try the side of Oudian Cinemas, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will do my best to fight for it." With that, he got up and walked to the office and opened the door, but turned back to look at Shao Gong and said, "I ask God to bless me for not choosing the wrong person, otherwise it will really be a disaster for the company." ”

With that, he walked out.

"You must have chosen the wrong person. ”

In the silent office, Shao Gong puffed on the smoke ring, looked up at the gorgeous chandelier on the ceiling, and said with a deep gaze.

For the current market, because he owns the Titanic, there is no iconic disaster movie here, and the disaster fixing here basically started after the Titanic came out.

In Shaogong's previous life, the Titanic was a myth, and the love between Jack and Ruth in the film was a myth within a myth. Since its release, almost the world's audience has been captivated by it. In this imaginary blueprint of love, people yearn for or look for the power of this myth. Although Ruth and Jack only had a short 3 days from acquaintance, love to the end, the audience remembered them for more than ten years, perhaps longer. This also reflects a certain desire for legends or romantic experiences among modern people who are accustomed to ordinary lives.

The love story of this film is narrated by a one hundred and one-year-old man, so she evokes the urge of memories of her youth for almost everyone on the planet, regardless of age. It made every viewer treat Titanic as their own movie with a clear conscience. When "Titanic" once again drove into the ordinary and repeated living space, the audience's heart instantly had the urge to beat violently. Maybe we can't hold back too many memories in our lives, but at least in the hours we watched the movie, we once again caught the love that sang like a cry.

In Shaogong's previous life, there was no one who watched this film without crying. There is no doubt that a phenomenon started from "Titanic", ten years of cold and summer, and miracles are not extinguished. The classic line echoed well, and his classic song "My Heart Is Still" became popular all over the world, and later some big directors and big productions who are good at shooting catastrophic movies regarded it as their first opponent, and even often saw the band performance during the shipwreck and "women and children go first" and other vivid case discussions.

Although there are better movies than it came out after Titanic, the love between Jack and Ruth has never been surpassed by later films, this love has made Titanic, and it has also created the unique reproducibility of this film, making it shine in the field of catastrophic movies and become an indelible icon.

For the production cost of $200 million, that's compared to '97, but the film, which was written, edited, produced, directed and produced by James Cameron, was said to be five hours long, but the studio decided that such a version was too long for commercial screening, and asked for a shorter length. So James Cameron cut it for two hours and cut it into a three-hour-and-twenty-minute version of the film.

Although it has been several years since '97, if you cut out the two hours and add new ideas to James Cameron while shooting, it will delay the filming cycle, so you will waste a lot of unnecessary resources on production.

Shao Gong is now very familiar with the filming of the movie, and with the company staff and Kevin assisting him, Shao Gong believes that the production cost of this essential version of the Titanic can be completed with a production cost of almost 200 million US dollars.

As for Kate Winslet, who played Ruth, she was a beauty back then, but unfortunately the Titanic was blessed and her body was out of shape. And Xiao Lizi, who played Jack, was in his twenties in ninety-seven years, and he had a trump card of little fresh meat, and all the girls who had seen his demeanor back then were fascinated by it.

But now Xiao Lizi is in his thirties, although he is calm, but his figure is also out of shape, but if he is asked to strengthen his exercise and rely on a makeup artist to make up for the knife, it is not a big problem. But Kate Winslet can't just make up the gap by exercising and making up for it with makeup artists.

So Ruth's actors, Shao Gong also thought about several, but the one closest to Ruth and the one who can restore her style the most is Amber Heard, she is eighty-six years old, one year younger than Shao Gong, she is blessed with age, and her appearance and figure are also the standard Venus version of Eros, the golden ratio.

And at present, Amber Heard only plays some young and sexy supporting roles in some TV shows and small production movies, and there is no real big production looking for her as the first daughter, it just so happens that this one was born in Austin, and there is a sister and a sister in the family, and it is said that her father is a businessman, maybe looking for her, and maybe she can also get unexpected sponsorship.

Even if Xiao Lizi doesn't insist on exercising or has no schedule, Shao Gong also thought of another substitute, that is, Nicholas Hoult, who happens to be eighteen years old this year, maybe foreigners don't say it according to their virtual age. But he is undoubtedly the best way to restore Jack's little fresh meat in addition to Xiao Lizi, because his current appearance and temperament are somewhat similar to Xiao Lizi's back then.

And Nicholas Holt made his debut as a child star and had acting experience, and in 96, he participated in his first movie "Intimacy". In '02, he starred in "About a Boy" and won the Phoenix Film Critics Association Award for Best Young Actor.

Last year, he played a boy living in Eswatini in the 60s in the semi-autobiographical film "Wow Wow Years" written and directed by British actor Richard Grant, and played Mike Nicolas Cage's son in "The Weather Forecaster."

As for this year, that kid doesn't have any appointments.

As long as Jack and Ruth are dealt with, the rest of the cast will be fine.

Looking at the ceiling, the cigarette in Shaogong's hand has been burning shorter and shorter, and suddenly he suddenly became smart, shook his fingers, and dropped the cigarette butt on the ground, but it was a high-end floor in his office, Shaogong hurriedly picked up the cigarette butt, pressed it in the ashtray, and lit a deep breath again, clenched his fist, looked at the endless traffic outside, and his eyes burst with unprecedented essence: "Although the Titanic sank, our dream voyage will never sink." It was happily decided that the first shot of Menghang when he came to the magnesium country decided to use the Titanic to disembowel. ”
