After returning to Hong Kong, Wei Xiong imprisoned Yan Yurou in a dungeon, and then instructed Yoshiko Fujita to use TX3 to hypnotize her every day.
As soon as he got to work that morning, Wei Xiong called Zeng Zhiwei to the office.
As soon as Zeng Zhiwei sat down, he directly threw three scripts over, which were clearly "Iron Man", "Spider-Man" and "Captain America".
It's all from Marvel Comics.
In other words, it has been several years since Wei Xiong acquired Marvel Comics, but he has never put the superheroes created by Marvel Comics on the screen.
It's not that Wei Xiong doesn't want to, but he can't help it.
Because the comics under Marvel Comics are all science fiction or fantasy genres, if you want to make a movie, you need to apply a lot of special effects technology.
And it's basically computer effects.
However, in the past few years, the computer special effects technology has not yet met the requirements.
Some people may say that Hollywood can produce a sci-fi blockbuster like "Star Wars" in 77 years, and now 15 years have passed.
However, things don't look that way.
Because Star Wars mainly uses model effects, it is very different from computer effects, although both are special effects technologies.
After several years of development, computer special effects technology has advanced a lot.
In particular, during the production of Pirates of Malacca, Pixar gained a lot of experience and applied many new technologies for the first time.
Some of these new technologies have already been involved in the production of "Titanic".
So it's time to shoot a superhero movie, but the three scripts have been revised, which is slightly different from the original.
Among them, "Iron Man" has the largest modification.
In the original version, the actor's name is Tony Stark, who was changed to Tony Tang by Wei Xiong, and is the chairman of the famous arms dealer Tang Dynasty Industries.
The whole story goes like this:
Tony Tang was born into a wealthy family in Hong Kong.
Since he was a child, he has not been like those annoying gentlemen, who only know pleasure and nonsense all day long.
Tony, who was born intelligent, is a genius.
At the age of 17, he graduated from the Department of Electrical Engineering of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and successfully found his social position with proud results.
The new owner of his family business, 'Tang Dynasty Industry'.
Shortly after he graduated, his parents died unexpectedly, but this did not depress Tony, but only fueled his career further.
At the age of 21, he began to control tens of billions of assets.
It gradually established the strong position of Tang Dynasty Industry as a world-class arms supplier.
However, Tony's arrogant personality and his willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals often get him in a lot of trouble.
He also provoked many enemies.
Fortunately, he also has a shrewd, capable, sexy and charming female assistant Virginia Van who always cares for and helps him
But a kidnapping soon after changed Tony's life forever.
When Tony leads a team of men and British military observers to test his latest scientific research in the desert of the Middle East,
Attacked by a group of extremely fierce terrorists.
Eventually, in the confusion, Tony was hit in the heart by a cannonball fragment. However, when he woke up, he found that he had a strange device on his chest.
It was this instrument that kept him alive.
It turns out that he has been kidnapped by terrorists, and Dr. Inson, who is also a hostage, transplants a nuclear-powered artificial heart for him.
Since then, the terrorists have begun to use both soft and hard,
Ask Tony to make them even more powerful weapons.
Tony knew he couldn't refuse.
He secretly created a set of steel armor powered by fusion energy, which has strong combat capabilities.
In the midst of the fight against terrorists,
Dr. Inson dies trying to buy Tony time, but the escaped Tony changes his mind to save the world by making munitions.
After returning to Hong Kong,
Tony quickly adjusted his mentality and vowed to lead Tang Dynasty industry in a new direction. However, things were not as simple as he thought.
Obadia Stan is Tony's right-hand man.
But he had coveted Tony's wealthy life for a long time, and in Tony's absence, he made a big splash in the company and replaced Tony's leadership.
After Tony's return, Obadia makes a secret deal with the terrorist leader.
Obtained the remains of Tony's armor damaged when he escaped from the terrorist base from the terrorists, and improved the armor.
Later, he seized Tony's fusion energy.
Wear improved armor on yourself. In order to save the world and protect peace, Tony and Obadia engage in a desperate struggle.
The location of the story has been changed from the United States to Hong Kong.
The U.S. Air Force, which appears in the story, is replaced by the British Air Force.
Wei Xiong wants to replace it with the Chinese Air Force, but unfortunately the strength of the Chinese Air Force today can only be regarded as third-rate, and it really can't enter the hall of elegance.
And Hong Kong hasn't returned yet.
Of course, Wei Xiong did not come up with three scripts to shoot them all at once, but in stages, among which "Iron Man" was the first to start filming.
Produced by Merriam-Webster Films.
The other two films will wait for the release of "Iron Man" to see how the market is, and then decide when to start filming, and optimistically estimate that they will have to wait for another two years.
That is, the audience will not be able to see it until the second half of 94.
Regarding the director, Wei Xiong has already been chosen, directed by Johnny To, like many directors in Hong Kong, Johnny To is also from TVB.
In recent years, taking advantage of the rapid development of Hong Kong films, several good movies have been filmed.
Gangster movies and police movies are good at it, but those fast food movies shot by Wang Jing and others are different and have their own styles.
Just like Wu Yusen has his own 'aesthetics of violence'.
Johnny To also has his own 'Du aesthetics', delicate and tense action scenes, and exquisitely designed but natural story sections.
The steadfast orthodox flavor and the vivid image of the peaks.
In addition to his noir philosophy, minimalist approach, and aesthetic attitude to the interpretation of violence, there is a more important point in his films.
That is, it can always give the audience a masculine feeling beyond the vision.
Of course, it is impossible for him to hand over such a pure sci-fi production to To Qifeng rashly, he has thought it through.
And yesterday he specially met with Du Qifeng.
He showed the script of "Iron Man" to Johnny To, and after Johnny To finished reading it, he asked a very simple question: Do you have confidence.
To Qifeng's answer is very pertinent -
It's my first time working with a big-budget sci-fi movie like this, and I'm definitely a little lacking in experience, but I'm sure to do the best I can.
He kept paying attention to the change in Du Qifeng's eyes.
From beginning to end, he didn't see the slightest hesitation or retreat, except for excitement, it was firmness. So he chose to believe.
I believe that Johnny To will not let him down.
As for the hero and heroine of the film, he hasn't thought about it yet.
The actor of the original "Iron Man" is Robert Downey Jr., all three, and he is also recognized by all "Iron Man" fans.
He is Iron Man.
It can be said that the "Iron Man" trilogy can be popular all over the world, and it is inseparable from the successful performance of Robert Downey Jr. in the play.
This proves once again the importance of the protagonist to a film.
What's more, after the selection of the hero and heroine, it is not just one film, but three films, just like the original version, so it is even more prudent.
After Zeng Zhiwei got the script, he opened it and read it.
There is only Johnny To's name on the credits on the homepage, and the actor part is all empty in the column: "The protagonist has not yet been decided?"
Wei Xiong snorted: "You prepare first, I'll think about it later." ”
Zeng Zhiwei nodded: "It's okay, it may take two or three months to prepare this movie alone, and there is enough time for you to think about it slowly." ”
After Zeng Zhiwei left, Wei Xiong opened the document and saw that there were no two pages, and the phone rang.
It was his mobile phone.
As soon as he picked it up, Zhou Yanfa's excited voice came: "Ah Xiong, I am now in the Sanatorium & Hospital, and your sister-in-law just gave birth to a boy." ”
Hearing this, Wei Xiong also smiled: "You wait, I'll be there soon." ”
Just at this time, Ouyang Yalan walked in with the documents: "Take the gift for Ah Fa, and follow me to the Sanatorium and Hospital, the child has been born." ”
Ouyang Yalan put down the document: "Didn't you say that it would take two or three days?"
This was just said casually, and after helping Wei Xiong sort out the tie of the suit, Ouyang Yalan went out to get the gift prepared in advance.
It is said that Chen Huilian had a miscarriage, which led to infertility.
Although I have seen many doctors and taken a lot of medicines over the years, it has been ineffective, and Zhou Yunfa has been mentally prepared.
After being reminded by Andy Lau on his back, he asked Wei Hongdao with the idea of giving it a try.
For the sake of Wei Xiong's face, Wei Hongdao did not refuse to leave, first checked the pulse, then massaged the lower abdomen, and finally prescribed some medicine.
To be honest, Zhou Yunfa and Chen Huilian really didn't have much hope at that time.
But a miracle happened, at least in their opinion, and two months later, the eldest aunt of Chen Huilian's family did not come on time.
At first, Chen Huilian didn't care, because there had been such a situation before.
But after almost a week, she still didn't come, and then Chen Huilian began to think about it, and hurriedly went to the pharmacy to buy test kits.
It turned out to be the squadron leader, and there really was.
Maybe it was too much of a surprise, she was in the bathroom for a while before she came back to her senses, and then she couldn't wait to call Zhou Yanfa.
The sudden good news made Zhou Yunfa and Chen Huilian fall into ecstasy.
Because of the experience of a miscarriage, Zhou Yunfa took care of Chen Huilian even more meticulously this time, for fear that there would be another accident.
