At the end of February 1988, the action universe series planned by Lester was reported by the entertainment media and circulated in Hollywood, as well as in the eyes of audiences who read entertainment newspapers.

The success of Flying Bird Films' films, TV series, and comics in the past four years has naturally attracted the attention of some Hollywood companies.

Even people from the six major Hollywood studios will also pay attention to Bird Films, after all, in addition to Columbia and Fox, Leicester has worked with them and brought them a good income.

Although Asuka Films' action universe series plan made them pay attention, it didn't cause them much fluctuation, but they just felt that Asuka Films had a fresh trick.

This is not unusual in Hollywood, where studios are always thinking of new tricks to make their productions profitable.

And "Die Hard" was used as the first film series in the action universe series, and after being reported by reporters, it aroused the expectations of fans and fans.

With the first part as the foundation, the upcoming filming of the second part of "Die Hard" is the most popular thing.

For entertainment reporters to report those articles, Lester read the important ones and ignored him.

The action universe series obviously didn't make much of a splash in Hollywood, which is what Lester wanted.

Leaving important matters to Dimes and Townward, Lester continued to devote himself to editing the second plot of Die Hard.

The first part of "Die Hard" grossed $98 million in North America and $150 million worldwide, which in Lester's view, the first part has laid a fan base, and the second part will definitely have a higher box office than the second part.

As for how much higher, it depends on the results of the script adaptation and shooting, and whether it can be affirmed by fans.

In my memory, the North American box office of the second part of "Die Hard" only exceeded 100 million plus 10 million, and some of the plots in it can be changed more smoothly in Lester's opinion, so that the audience can enjoy a visual view.

The reason why "Die Hard" can be easily accepted by fans is that in addition to the new hero mode and blockbuster feeling, there are also Bruce Willis's witticisms in the movie, according to the survey, there are many viewers who like the jokes of John Macallan in the movie.

Writing this, Lester felt that the second part could continue to use the witticism of the first part, but he couldn't let him say jokes, otherwise it would become an action comedy movie.

Since "Die Hard" is the first film in the action universe series, it is natural to let the next development give them some tandem.

In addition to adding his own ideas, Lester will also make some of the later developments in the Die Hard series a little bit related to the previous ones.

With these written in place, Lester began to continue the character and development of the boss and the captain of the guard in the script.

Lester changed the character of the captain of the guard slightly, so that he would not be perceived as a very useless, even stupid guard.

John McCarron, as the protagonist in the script, uses an ordinary hero who fights the mob with his bare hands, and finally gets injured and becomes exhausted.

But in the hero range category, it still belongs to the mode of beating Xiaoqiang, but Lester let Bruce Willis show his other side, which not only makes him invincible, but also makes the audience feel that he is a little powerless.

After all, superheroes often show their personal super side, let everyone substitute for his role, and show his personal heroic character.

In terms of the protagonist's personality, Lester also appropriately made his character somewhat similar to Bruce Willis in some aspects.

As a successful commercial film, "Die Hard" does not have particularly high requirements for acting skills, and changing the protagonist's personality slightly will not destroy his overall image, and it can also make Bruce Willis have a bit of a taste of acting in his true colors.

Time passed as Lester wrote the script and storyboard of "Die Hard", and on March 16, Lester had to stop writing the script and storyboard, walk out of the office, and run to the Oscars.

The Oscars sent the invitation, and Lester said that he could not refuse their invitation, put on his suit, and entered the place where the Oscars held the award ceremony with a full face.

Here, Leicester met many newcomer actors who will become super-first-line in the future, and also met the director of "The Last Emperor" and two Chinese actors Zun Long and Chen Chong.

This is the first time that Leicester has seen an actor of Chinese descent nominated for a Golden Globe Award other than Bruce Lee.

For this kind of potential actors, Lester went up to greet them and chatted with them.

After chatting, Lester learned a lot about them, and it wasn't until the awards ceremony started that he sat back in his place.

At this time, the Oscars began to award award-winning films, and Lester looked at each of the award-winning actors and directors from the perspective of viewing.

As the time for the awards passed, Lester was a little surprised that "The Last Emperor" won multiple Oscars.

The only difference is that none of the leading actors of "The Last Emperor" were nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor, an award taken away by someone else.

The biggest winner of this film was director Bernardo Bertolucci, who won the Oscar for Best Director.

In the end, the Oscar for Best Picture, "The Last Emperor" won the Best Picture, which made Lester a little surprised, and then he reacted.

"The Last Emperor" was able to win the best picture, or the quality of his film was affirmed by the judges.

After the Oscars, Lester left the Oscars and returned to writing the script and drawing the next day for Die Hard.

By the end of March, Lester had finally written the script and storyboard for "Die Hard", and handed him over to Dimes in full for him to prepare.

At this time, Lester learned from Dimes that it seems that because of the success of the first part of "Die Hard" and the action universe series plan, many artists from brokerage companies have been attracted, and some agents have invested in the information of female artists, hoping to compete for the heroine.

Hearing this, Lester was stunned, the heroine of the second part is the candidate who continues to use the first heroine.

And Bonnie Bitilia was recommended by Bruce Willis, and Lester would sell his face if he said anything.

According to the script and film development that he rewrote and remembered, this will be the last appearance of Bonnie Bittilia, and the later plot will end with her divorce from the protagonist.

"Reject them, this actress will not re-choose others. ”

Lester refuses to recast the cast, and Dimes goes back to the agency that wanted to eliminate Bonnie Bittilia.

Getting things right, Lester ran to the "Rain Man" crew.
