"What does this zombie virus say about you, you can see it as a strengthened version of rabies, once a person is infected, there is no help, and after infection, they will bite the same kind regardless of it, and people will be ......infected after being bitten" Next to the round table, Li Xu is explaining the story of "Horror Train" vividly,

The elder listened attentively, not in a perfunctory way, but in the real thinking, sketching in his mind the pictures he had painted.

After all, people are also literary and artistic old and young people who can play ukuleles in Hawaii, and Li Xu has also been notified in advance of what he wants to do this time, and it is normal to come and chat with him about a few movies.

To be honest, Li Xu was actually quite surprised, although he had some understanding of the open atmosphere in the past two or three years, it was quite surprising when it came to an end.

After reading the script, Director Chen of Xiying said that there was basically no problem, but some small details needed to be adjusted. Although Li Xu took it back, although he asked people to revise it, when he handed over the script to China Film Co-production, he had a whim and handed over the unmodified ones.

Then, the China Film Co-production said that this script is no problem at all, and it only needs to be adjusted again to make its background more in line with the mainland.

You can imagine how Li Xu felt after hearing it, the people of Special Xiying said that there are a few characters that need to be cut, you guys are good, you have given it directly, are the reviews so weak in these years?

Well, it's really not powerful, otherwise Lu Xingtai's "Fengshen Bang" would not be blatantly broadcast, even if it was stopped after two or three episodes.

The censorship in these years is not so troublesome, not to mention that Li Xu fully considered the acceptance of the mainland when he asked people to make the script, and the roles were arranged very accurately. Retired veteran cadres must be in charge of command, veterans and repentant labor prisoners are inevitably the main output, young and vigorous young people are bound to be rough and provoke right and wrong, and small bosses who are turning business everywhere are bound to be treacherous and will push people to death.

is a bit facial, but the current mainland audience still eats this set very much - in fact, the vast majority of audiences eat this set no matter when they eat it, and they know good and evil when they see superhero films, and the audience is not watching them with relish.

An excellent commercial film, some parts can be mediocre, such as the whole story, but some places must be highlighted, such as special effects. However, mediocrity does not mean rotten, in the words of 30 years later, you can't watch it without a brain, and no matter how good the special effects are, it's useless.

In short, when Li Xu went to the China Film Co-production to discuss this matter, they half-jokingly asked, did Mr. Li go to the mainland to find the screenwriter in private?

I have to praise here again, Zeng Huaqian's character shaping ability is quite good, although she has never been to the mainland, but according to the advice provided by Li Xu, as well as some books, newspapers and magazines she found, everyone still has a little bit of mainlander characteristics.

Of course, the whole story is very ingenious and one of the reasons, "Train to Busan" is indeed very suitable to be modified into a mainland version of the zombie film. The government barely made a scene, and naturally it was not black, and the story basically took place in the advancing train, which also effectively avoided social problems and focused on the characters.

In the scene under the constraints of such conditions, no matter which country you change, what happens will not be much worse, and it is completely caused by human nature.

Anyway, as long as the positive side appears tall and the negative side appears, highlighting the kindness and sacrifice of human nature, and the ending is slightly changed, the remaining pregnant women and girls will soon be helped by the military, and everything will be fine.

"Just listening to it is like watching. After listening to some of Li Xu's introductions, the elder said with a smile.

He has never been a flexible person, and the ship has not been cut by a single sword, not to mention reciting the Gettysburg Declaration in English.

"Don't worry, I have already negotiated with Shangying, and I will set up preparations soon, and it will be ready to start in the second half of the year at the latest. Li Xu said with a smile, "It would be better if the city government could cooperate with the filming at the train station." ”

"There is no problem, as long as it does not affect the lives of the people," the elder waved his hand repeatedly.

"Then in order to express my gratitude, I will personally give you two tickets for the premiere at that time, rest assured, this is definitely not a bribe. Li Xu said half-jokingly, which suddenly made the elder laugh again.

After chatting a few more words, the elder greeted the other representatives in English again and apologized to them, he and Li Xu chatted too much.

"It is indeed very advantageous to know a foreign language, Mr. Lee. When the elder left, the Intel representative from before sat down and said this.

"So, are you planning to learn Chinese, Mr. Patton?" Li Xu asked rhetorically.

"I'm sorry, I don't have that idea yet, I don't have the same language talent as you. The other party shrugged, "I think Chinese should be the most difficult language in the world to learn." ”

"Then you're going to have to put up with the translations that may not be accurate. Li Xu laughed, "Okay, no kidding, how do you feel about that elder?"

"Well...... Barton recalled, "a charismatic man, funny, and tech-savvy." To be honest, I never thought I would meet such a bureaucrat in such a country. ”

Then he raised a hand before Li Xu spoke: "I know what you want to say, I can only guarantee that I will truthfully report what I see to the country." ”

"That's enough. Li Xu was not reluctant.

His promotion of the establishment of a wafer line in the magic capital was originally a political investment, and as long as it is done, even if the wafer line is only built for one day, it will be a success. It's okay if it's not even built, but then the return will be much less.

In fact, the rewards have already begun now, and I really thought that the elders came to talk to him about the movie just because they were curious.

So as long as it is implemented before a certain unspeakable year, it doesn't matter if it is slow, or even a little slower, it will make it a lot smoother.

I believe that the Modu Municipal Government has done enough work, otherwise he would not have been invited here at this time.

And the perception of Barton and the others is not bad, when Li Xu goes back and borrows his father's hand to push it a little, they will automatically lobby Congress, and the rest is Sino-US negotiations.

Therefore, after this dinner, he followed the delegation for two days and flew to Hong Kong, but Shangying still didn't find a chance to entertain him after all.

However, there will be opportunities in the future, as Li Xu told the elder before, it will be turned on in the second half of the year at the latest. Tweaking the script, making props, setting up the scene, it all takes time.

In addition, if you want to do zombie makeup, you must definitely find someone from Hollywood, and you can't save this money.

What's more, the actors have to be selected, oh, the heroine has been decided, Zhu Ling is the role, her gentle nature, it is just right to play a pregnant woman in the movie. Li Xu had already hinted to Shangying before that the heroine decided by herself, and the other party was full of promises.

But other roles still have to find a way to be selected, especially the little girl, although the original version of "Train to Busan" was set as a little boy, but when I auditioned, I found that the little girl was good, so I changed the gender of the role, but Li Xu was too lazy to change it back, so I needed a little girl who was very good at acting.
