Chapter 166: Brave the Island of Death

No matter how criticized by the outside world, Wang Jie is still wandering in his own time.

After Wang Jie handed over the script of "Saving Private Ryan" to Spielberg, he began to think about the type of movie he was going to make next, because he didn't have enough control over war-themed movies, he decided to make up for his shortcomings in the positive aspect. So Wang Jie opened a script written half a year ago, and it was printed on the cover - Brave Death Island.

Sophie Marceau hugged Wang Jie, who was revising the script, from behind, she picked up the script, and after reading the first few sentences, she knew that this should be a standard man's action scene.

General Hammer placed flowers in front of his wife's grave and said, "I miss you so much." There's one thing I have to do...... Whatever happens, please don't look down on me.

He pulled out a Purple Heart medal and placed it on the tombstone......

For more than half an hour, Sophie Marceau barely looked up, frankly speaking, the script did not conform to her aesthetics, especially the status of the female characters, which was completely dispensable, but after all, she was no longer the literary tsundere of France in the original time and space, after so many years in Hollywood, she knew what kind of films were popular with the audience, and her sweetheart's preference for commercial movies was well known to everyone.

"It's not enough that you ruined Santa Monica in 'Life and Death,'......" she closed the script, "and you're going to destroy San Francisco next?"

"If it were possible, I would like to destroy all of North America. Wang Jie put down the coffee cup, "Of course, in the movie." ”

"Explosions, fights, sensationalism with action scenes," Sophie Marceau returned the script to Wang Jie, "It's really a typical Williamian script." ”

"But," Wang Jie took the script, she said, "The role of General Hammer is very interesting. ”

"Thank you. Duke put away the script, "I think he's going to be the biggest highlight of the film." ”

"When do you start working. "Sophie Marceau is very reluctant to let her man leave her and go to work alone on the filming.

"I just got out of Forrest Gump. Wang Jie turned around and kissed the French girl, "I still need to rest for a while, and I will start filming in about a month." ”

"I'll be with you this time. Sophie Marceau made a gesture you understood, "It's my turn to be with you." ”

"Okay, then you can be the producer and assistant of my movie!" Wang Jie also needs an assistant to help him with chores, "From now on, you will start working for me." ”

Wang Jie opened the drawer, took out a stack of materials, put them on the desk, and handed them to Sophie Marceau one by one, "Here are some of the shooting plans and role choices I have drawn up, you communicate with the relevant personnel, and Twentieth Century Fox will be responsible for the production and distribution of this film." Also, in the last few days, if I have time, I will go to the newspaper or the screenwriters guild to post an advertisement, and sign a few screenwriters, and I have two script outline templates that need to be filled. ”

"I seem to have caused myself a lot of trouble!" Sophie Marceau frowned.

"Hey, dear. Wang Jie hugged the girl and said: "In the future, I will set up a film and television company in Europe, don't you want to try to manage this company?"

"Okay. Sophie Marceau put away the information, then kissed Wang Jie and said with a smile: "But you have to pay me a salary, and you have to pay a high salary!"

For most of July, Wang Jie spent most of his time in Beverly's estate, and the crew entered the early preparation stage, Wang Jie estimated a minimum production cost of $50 million, which must make the relevant personnel of Fox Film cautious, even if Wang Jie's film does not need to conduct a risk assessment before the project is established, but it cannot be reckless and arbitrary to use such a large amount of money without a plan.

"Into the Island of Death" is an action thriller film released in 1996, directed by Michael Bay, starring Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery, Ed Harris, etc.

It mainly tells the story of a group of Marine Corps officers who are dissatisfied with the treatment of the U.S. government for those officers and soldiers who are sent overseas to perform illegal missions and die and steal VX nerve gas missiles, in order to blackmail the U.S. government to give a fair evaluation of the dead. At the beginning of the movie, an American general mourns his wife at a tombstone. His subordinates died in covert operations, but they were not recognized by the government, and their families were denied honor and bereavement. The general, after an unsuccessful appeal, decided to take action.

This battle-hardened general with many medals is called Hammer. He led his men to rob 15 new VX gas bombs. Subsequently, they took control of the island of Akara. Formerly a prison, it is now a tourist destination, commonly known as Alcatraz Island. All the tourists on the island became hostages. General Hammer demanded $100 million from the state with gas bombs and hostages to compensate the Marines who had been unjustly treated.

FBI Director Alex Ferguson held a meeting with the Department of Defense and decided to send a commando team to the island. However, the prison in Acala is heavily guarded and is known as "Alcatraz", and no one has ever managed to escape from the prison, so there is no way for the commandos to enter the prison. In the state's top-secret archives, there is an old British agent Mason who managed to escape from Acala, and only he can complete the mission. In order to convince Mason to infiltrate the island of Acala with his men, Ferguson made false promises to him, telling him that he would be pardoned and freed. Mason, along with chemist Stanley, and the commandos on the raid managed to enter Acala Prison through an underground tunnel. However, the placed receptors were discovered, and the assault team was discovered and surrounded. In the melee, all the commandos were killed, and only Mason and Stanley survived. Stanley tells Mason the truth and asks for his help in defusing the gas missile, to which Mason finally agrees.

After dismantling 12 missiles, Hammer's men captured them. In prison, Mason told Stanley that he had been arrested because he was in possession of a top-secret U.S. government film that has not expired to this day. After his arrest, he became a person who was not recognized by both Britain and the United States. Mason opens the door by escaping from prison, and the two escape from the prison to dismantle the remaining missiles. Hammer's men had discovered that the government was deceiving them, but since General Hammer, a real soldier, did not agree to the actual use of gas bombs to kill innocent people, a scuffle ensued. Hammer was mortally wounded and died after telling Stanley the location of the last missile. At the same time, the government sent bombers to blow up the islands. After a fierce and tense struggle, the two finally defused the gas bomb and successfully completed the mission. Just as Stanley was lighting the green flare, the bomber also released a missile, but fortunately there were no casualties among the hostages on the island.

Mason and Stanley survived by jumping into the sea just in time, and Stanley took the opportunity to report to Ferguson that Mason was dead, but let him go. Before leaving, Mason told Stanley where the film was hidden.
