The general direction is determined, and the rest is the early work construction and the later casting, the construction preparation work in the previous life Zhang Junyi did not monopolize the power, but fully delegated power to Chris Columbus. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Chris, you have to complete the preliminary preparations as soon as possible, "Home Alone" I am going to put it in the summer of this year, it is now the end of February, and there are still 4-5 months to go, I hope not to waste time on this, otherwise if the shooting time is too tight, then it will affect the release and box office of the movie!"

Zhang Junyi said solemnly to Chris Columbus, who was sitting opposite him, of course, it is not very accurate to say that complete decentralization, and he will definitely send a financial commissioner to follow up at that time, after all, as long as he seizes the financial power.

Compared with the construction of the preparatory work in the early stage, Zhang Junyi attaches more importance to the aspect of casting, because if Zhang Junyi can use this aspect well, it will greatly increase his influence in Hollywood.

Spielberg and James Cameron, who are at the top level of directors, are second only to the CEOs of the Big Seven in Hollywood, and even the CEOs of the Big Seven are courteous in front of those well-known Hollywood directors.

Although Zhang Junyi, who has just stepped into the United States, has abundant funds in his hands, if he wants to make achievements in Hollywood or even have a certain influence, the most convenient and fast way is to use the box office of the movie and bring out some first-line stars, which is the most time-saving and labor-saving.

This is a shortcut, and the golden finger that is born with many years of memory in the future can make full use of this shortcut to achieve its own goals.

Zhang Junyi knows that "Home Alone" was a family comedy directed by Chris Columbus in 1990 and starring child actor Macaulay Culkin.

The movie is about the annual Christmas again. The family was busy going out for the Christmas holidays, but the youngest member of the family, 8-year-old Kevin, was left at home. Mom and Dad were in a hurry, but at this time they were already out of town, and they were helpless for a while. It's Kevin's happiness, it's rare to be alone at home, Kevin has turned his home into a "playground". Two thieves who had just been released from prison set their sights on Kevin's house. When they sneakily stepped into Kevin's house, Kevin played a "game" with two stupid thieves with his eye-catching and the "playground mechanism" at home, which was full of jokes, and Kevin finally won the "game" as the ending.

Through the content of the film, Zhang Junyi knows that this "Home Alone" means that Kevin, the kid in it, is a well-deserved protagonist, and all the other characters are equipped to highlight Kevin.

So in order to successfully shoot "Home Alone", there is no doubt that Kevin's role as a child is crucial.

But the child actor Macaulay Culkin, who played Kevin in his previous life, is probably still in his fucking belly, so when Zhang Junyi copied the script of this movie, he decisively completely deformed the image of Kevin as a boy and replaced it with the image of a girl named Aina.

Aina, the youngest of five children in the family, is always bullied by her older siblings and cousins, and always hopes that the whole family will disappear and he will be the only one left. During a family trip, he was unexpectedly left behind when two bandits suddenly arrived and attempted to burglary. Aina, who is a small ghost, completely crushes the two bandits, creates all kinds of traps and traps, fights wits and courage with the bandits, and finally succeeds in forcing them to obey.

Because Zhang Junyi had the impression that China was really unable to find a person who could brilliantly interpret Kevin in the original script in this era, so in order not to make his first film hit the street, Zhang Junyi gave Kevin away.

Why did Kevin be replaced by Aina, because when I was considering the director of this film, Zhang Junyi remembered Spielberg from Chris Columbus, and Zhang Junyi was inspired by Spielberg.

Why do you say that, when it comes to Spielberg, I have to mention a somewhat nasty hobby of this Hollywood director, and Zhang Junyi also learned about it through the Internet that exploded in his previous life.

Zhang Junyi knows that this famous Hollywood director has a hobby, that is, he loves to adopt his godson and goddaughter, and among the most famous godsons and goddaughters, he has to think of the famous woman in Zhang Junyi's previous life and future Drew Barrymore.

Drew Barrymore, born in California on February 22, 1975, was photographed by director Spielberg in 1982 as a little girl in "E.T."

No one expected that in the near future, 6-year-old Drew would be photographed by director Spielberg, playing the role of Godie, a little girl kissed by aliens in the sci-fi film "E.T.", and after the filming of the film, Spielberg became Drew's godfather.

Although Zhang Junyi also knew that Drew Barrymore starred in two films "Fierce Fire" and "Stage" two years later, both films made Drew nominated for Best Supporting Actress, so that this eight-year-old girl once reached the peak of child stardom, and later at the age of 9, she began to drink heavily, was contaminated with cocaine at the age of 13, and at the age of 15, she was sent to drug rehabilitation for the third time, and she did not even complete high school.

Zhang Junyi doesn't care much about these, and now the only thing Zhang Junyi cares about is that this 6-year-old girl is completely in line with the role she set in "Home Alone", and Zhang Junyi also believes that since Drew Barrymore was able to reach such heights in his previous life, he will not die in this life, so of course Zhang Junyi will not be soft on digging Spielberg's corner, and Drew Barrymore will not be able to star in "E.T" This film, which will take the global box office by storm in the near future, will not feel sorry for Drew Barrymore.

As for whether Drew Barrymore's future in this life will reach the same height as her previous life, Zhang Junyi will not worry, regardless of whether you will succeed or not, as long as your "Home Alone" can succeed, besides, if there is no accident, if her "Home Alone" can achieve the same results as in her previous life, it will not be much worse than that "E.T", and besides, this movie has Drew Barrymore as the protagonist, and it is really impossible to say that Drew Barrymore will surpass the previous life.

After all, the first time he stepped into Hollywood, Zhang Junyi didn't know if he would succeed, then he would consider the interests of others, and taking care of himself first was the top priority, if he couldn't even stand out from the Hollywood circle, Zhang Junyi really didn't have the energy to take care of the good or bad of others.

As for the two main supporting roles in "Home Alone", Zhang Junyi decided to return to the original book in his previous life, and Joe Percy and Daniel Stern played the roles of Harry and Marvin in "Home Alone".

This is not to say that Zhang Junyi has the original plot, on the one hand, because the acting skills of these two people are no problem, and the salary is not particularly high, it belongs to the kind of drama that is cheap, and on the other hand, Zhang Junyi wants to be lazy, since the fact that the two of them succeeded in their previous lives, there is no need to cast on a large scale, after all, on the one hand, the time is relatively tight, and he does not have any fame now, and the director is also directing for the first time, even if it is casting, there will be no big-name actors to participate.

And in any case, "Home Alone" is still a movie with Aina as the protagonist, and if you want to reflect Aina's high IQ in the movie, you must also have the cooperation of old actors with outstanding acting skills, compared to the selection of two actors in the audition, Zhang Junyi still believes in the acting skills of Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern in the original book.

It's not that Zhang Junyi wants to save money, but because the script itself doesn't have any special effects that require large-scale money, and it belongs to the kind of small-budget family comedy.

As for Joe Percy and Daniel Stern, although the two actors have not starred in any high-grossing movies, they have played more important supporting roles in many movies, and Zhang Junyi believes that there is still no problem with acting skills.

As it turned out, when Zhang Junyi and Chris Columbus mentioned these two actors, Chris Columbus agreed on the spot.

And Chris Columbus also felt that Joe Pesci's superb acting skills and unique "Donald Duck" accent were very suitable for this family comedy. After all, Joe Pesci entered the film industry in 1975, and five years later he cooperated with the famous director Martin Scorsese, among which "Raging Bull" and "Goodfellas" were twice nominated for Oscar supporting actor. Under extremely difficult conditions, the filming of "Raging Bull", which was hailed as "the best film of the 80s", was completed. Such an actor can be regarded as an old actor.

As for Daniel Stern, although his age is a little out of line with the requirements of the script, Chris Columbus believes that he can make up for it in makeup, after all, although Daniel Stern is relatively young, he has also played many roles in movies such as "Farewell to Yesterday", "Courtesy Exchanges", "Courtesy Exchanges", "Beautiful Pony", "Highway Madness" and other movies, and his acting skills are enough to support the family comedy "Home Alone".

After discussing the actors of the main roles with Chris Columbus, Chris Columbus got up and said goodbye, in order to show his importance to Chris Columbus, Zhang Junyi also personally sent Chris Columbus out of the door, as for the other roles in "Home Alone", Zhang Junyi was completely handed over to Chris Columbus to be responsible.

After all, although Chris Columbus is directing for the first time, Zhang Junyi still fully respects the rights of the director.

After seeing off Chris Columbus, Zhang Junyi returned to the study, poured himself a glass of red wine, took a sip, and sat down in a chair to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, no matter what, he finally took the first step to the United States, and as for the release of the movie after filming, Zhang Junyi had already planned it.

On the second day after Zhang Junyi came to the United States, he gave an order to the 12 shell fund companies that he had already set up by Qiao Sen Ligol, and explained that they had secretly absorbed the shares of the Seventh Congress.

Zhang Junyi believes that after half a year, how can he become an individual shareholder with a little influence, and it should be no problem to screen a movie at that time, after all, he will do things in full accordance with the rules of Hollywood at that time, and I believe that the person in charge of the Seventh National Congress will not say anything, and it is not a trivial matter for them to let them help them release a movie.

As for what will be the box office of the movie when it is released, and whether it can achieve its expected effect, it can only be decided by God.

Besides, he is not desperate, in addition to "Home Alone", in fact, Zhang Junyi has not played two dark chess, that is, the "Jurassic Park" and "The Lion King" series among the several manuscripts handed over to Tierin Carter.

Zhang Junyi believes that as long as the person in charge of the Seven National Congress is not stupid, how can he see the huge future of "Jurassic Park" adapted into a movie, and now that "Jurassic Park" has been vigorously promoted by the publishing house and gratifying sales, it will attract the attention of the Seven National Congress Zhang Junyi believes that it is only a matter of time.

As for the other "The Lion King" series, Zhang Junyi has also handed over to Tillén Carter some time ago, and instructed Tillén Carter to specially recruit a few cartoonists for the "The Lion King" series, as for the comic image of "The Lion King", Zhang Junyi has already drawn it in the remarks according to the movies in his previous life.

That's right, from the very beginning, Zhang Junyi never thought of publishing "The Lion King" in the form of a novel, what Zhang Junyi wanted to publish was a comic book.

Zhang Junyi just wanted to use the comic "The Lion King" to attract Disney's bait.

And in order not to cause any copyright disputes in this "The Lion King", Zhang Junyi also deliberately asked Tiline Carter to win Hamlet, that is, "The Prince's Revenge" and "Romeo and Juliet" at a lot of money

adaptation rights.

In Zhang Junyi's impression, although in the previous life, Disney's "The Lion King" had a series of disputes with "The Prince's Revenge" because of copyright issues, although Disney quickly resolved them, but Zhang Junyi still cleared all the obstacles before he published the "Lion King" comics in order to prevent trouble.

After all, Zhang Junyi doesn't believe that he is a newcomer to Xiangjiang who can have the energy to match Disney, and people can quickly resolve disputes, and he may not have such ability at that time, although he spent more money before, but Zhang Junyi still feels that it is most important to be safe, compared to the achievements of "The Lion King" in the future, Zhang Junyi's cost is a drop in the bucket.
