Chapter 439: NC-17 Class

Li Mo looked at the people sitting silently and was happy: "Do you really think that I sold myself to you?"

"No, we're here to explain that Oscar really doesn't have anything to do with a few of our companies. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Dick, I didn't say it had anything to do with your companies, even the Oscar judges, I didn't say anything. If they don't qualify for an award from an artistic point of view, I won't say anything, after all, everyone has their own ideas. If they engage in racism, I'm not happy about it. I made it so clear just now, what else do you want me to say?"

But the truth is that the judges of this Olympics are indeed discriminating.

Several film companies are also secretly making some efforts, from their hearts, they are worried that Hollywood will become Li Mo's Hollywood in the future, and in addition, Colombia happens to be bought by the Japanese.

Li Mo only cooperated with the new line, leaving room for maneuver for both sides, but it also illustrated Li Mo's dissatisfaction. Li Mo sent the group away, and Robert was a little worried, and said, "Li, it's better not to offend these film companies." ”

Li Mo needs the influence of these film companies, and Robert is more worried about the suppression of the new line by these film companies.

"Saya, you don't have to worry, with the release of three movies in the summer, they don't even have the confidence to speak. Li Mo said. Mainly this year, Hollywood lacks real blockbusters, and it's better to sleep with the enemy, the main box office is in the North American market, and the box office in other countries and regions is not too much, but Dances with Wolves, the box office is also very impressive. After Home Alone 2 was adapted by him, the box office would not be too bad.

It's still money.

For the money, and not for the less, it is worth ...... Or do you dare to fight with yourself?

But Li Mo didn't tell a lie, his cooperation with the new line is really a horror movie.

The first is the Scream series, don't underestimate this series of movies, just the North American box office of the first scream won more than 100 million US dollars, and it was the thirteenth at the North American box office that year.

Its selling point lies in the ridicule of horror films such as "Friday the 13th", as well as youth elements, and the latter one is carried forward in the screaming laughter.

The disadvantage is the lack of thickness.

So after a few films, the audience lost their freshness, and the box office gradually failed to sell.

So Li Mo made some modifications and strung a main line to it, that is, the high school student and her classmates who are the heroines bullied a female student when they were in junior high school, and because of family violence and school oppression, this female classmate suffered from mental illness, and after treatment, she couldn't go to school anymore, so she worked in a bar near the school. She has come out since the first part, but passing by will not make the audience have superfluous associations.

And the background set by Li Mo is that it has entered the Internet era, the first part still has no network, the second part has no network, and the third part has a network. But by Christmas '92 or '93, the World Wide Web was out. Although the era of online communication has not yet arrived, the audience can understand it at this time.

After the first homicide, this female psycho had the idea of using the Internet to incite some people to be masked people to intimidate the heroine, kill the heroine's friends and classmates, and then drive the heroine crazy.

So at the end of the first movie, a female voice screams, clucking, you can't escape.

At the end of the second part, he said that this was the beginning.

Let him do this, and this movie has exactly become five.

The fifth part is undoubtedly a climax, the mystery is revealed, and even the female patient goes into battle in person, a group of normal people are played by a mentally ill woman, which is the biggest mockery, but it is not over, because the doctor diagnosed the female patient with mental illness and did not cure it, although she was caught and so many people died, but the judge had no choice but to continue to send her back to the psychiatric hospital.

This is the end of the story, if the new line still has the intention of making a sequel, it is very simple, let her escape from the mental hospital, then she can get a few more episodes, but Li Mo doesn't want to participate.

It's a horror film with a lot of gore, and it's impossible to expect it to get a PG rating (children are recommended to watch it with a parent), PG-13 (children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by a parent to watch it).

It's nice to get an R rating (people under the age of 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to watch), or even if you can't, you can be assigned to the NC-17 (***, no viewing is prohibited for anyone under 17 years old).

Of course, you can't let it be an NC-17 movie, that will undoubtedly affect the box office, so reduce the gore scenes, focus on the atmosphere, and supplement it with gore. There are dew point lenses, but only two points are exposed, and the shot time is not too long.

As for when the new line will be filmed, Li Mo has no restrictions.

For example, the production cost of Blair, the model witch of low-budget movies, is only 20,000 US dollars, and many people say how much it returns, but how many people have noticed the publicity cost of the distribution company?

Li Mo stipulated that the production cost should not be less than 10 million, but in fact, the production cost of screaming in 96 was 15 million US dollars, but some famous actors were hired in the middle, and the salary accounted for more than half. Now that Li Mo is mainly the female models launched, the salary will not be too much, and after deducting the inflation factor, the production cost of this film is also quite considerable.

From the second part, the production cost must increase at a rate of 20%, which Robert is easy to understand, once the sequel is made, the most troublesome thing is the actor's salary, which will inevitably rise, and inflation factors also have to be considered.

The cost of publicity and distribution is as much as the cost of production.

The other conditions are the same as the conditions that Li Mo gave to other Hollywood companies, and he did not bully the new line because of the small scale of the company.

After listening to this, Robert should be more satisfied, but he is worried about the cost.

After all, the new line is the same as several major film companies, and they are used to small fights, although Li Mo will pay 30% of the cost, he also wants them to come up with more than 10 million US dollars for the new line, and it is a horror film, and Robert is a little lacking in confidence.

So he looked at the script, the beginning of the script is the main line, then the outline of the first part, and the rest of Li Mo also coded out, but the remaining ones are the real outline, in fact, the main thing is to be frightened, with the first part as a reference, the rest of Li Mo doesn't want to write, hand it over to the new line, and the new line will arrange the screenwriter to write it, and then Li Mo can review it.

In addition, Li Mo also drew some sub-shots.

After reading it, Robert said happily, "Lee, we agreed. ”

Judging from his keen eye, if this series of movies is filmed well, the box office will not be bad, even if the box office is not very good, I believe that the videotape can also make a fortune.

However, when he heard that Li Mo asked the female model to be an actor, he hesitated.

"Mr. Saya, I have people choose models with acting talents, and arrange for someone to train them for a period of time, you can also see for yourself, if you are not satisfied, you can also choose another heroine, let them play supporting roles. Li Mo said.

In this way, Robert dispelled the last doubt, after all, it is an R-rated horror film, mainly based on plasma, and the acting requirements are not too high.

Then came the second film in the series, which is a cult classic, Fatal Corner.

This movie was made by the depressed director Rob Schmidt in 03 with a few friends and a group of equally unambitious young actors, who went to the jungle of Ontario, Canada for several months. After filming, Rob Schmidt was also physically and mentally exhausted by it and announced that he had ceased filming. However, because of its big hit, Forbes arranged for someone to shoot a second part, but only gave Joe Lynch a million dollars in production fees, so after the movie was made, even Forbes himself couldn't watch it, and it was not released, and it was directly released on DVD. However, contrary to Forbes's expectations, it was this movie that they couldn't watch, and the DVD sold so badly. Forbes became cautious at this time, and one after another......

Because of the overall lack of planning, constantly changing directors and screenwriters, there is a huge conflict in each plot, and it is not a big problem to watch only one, but it always makes people feel uncomfortable when they watch all of them.

Li Mo also made some adaptations, mainly the setting of the background.

It is still a consanguineous family, and the town and the nearby mountains and forests are the family's assets.

With the abundance of life, the family grew in population and, of course, as a result of consanguineous marriages, there were more and more people who were idiots or had bad heads.

In the face of this situation, there was controversy within the family, some people insisted on continuing to marry close relatives, and some people wanted to reform this malaise, the dispute became bigger and bigger, and the worst thing was that the family had violent genes, and finally everyone killed each other with murder weapons.

The murder gave some people who coveted the town's assets the opportunity to spread rumors that the family was a bunch of crazy people who had to be sent to a mental hospital. It just so happened that the U.S. government was also very unhappy with the ugly marriage customs of this family, agreed with these people's statements, and really sent all the people of this family to a mental hospital.

But it's not over, these people not only sent them to a psychiatric hospital, but also cruelly let doctors test various drugs on their bodies, so that some people have abnormal changes, especially the three children, not only murderous by nature, eat human flesh, but also have some mutated high IQ, so learn what to do, including picking locks, driving cars, arranging mechanisms, and so on. Then comes the scene of the fourth part of the fatal corner, where the three children open the door and ...... all the people in the family At this time, they all went crazy and were released together, and the massacre began in this mental hospital.

As a result, all the information disappeared together, and later people couldn't figure out why all the people in the original town disappeared.

But before the murder within the family, some people escaped, some fled to the big city, such as the father of the protagonist of the sixth part, and some fled to the neighborhood and bought some properties, such as the luxurious hot spring resort hotel in the sixth part.

In this way, not only is the story told smoothly, but the background also becomes more magnificent. Based on this background, if you are happy, there is no problem with the new line being shot eight times or ten times.

In addition, in the beginning part, Li Mo followed the practice of the later parts of the fatal corner, and at the beginning of each part, there are two or three scenes of beautiful women and handsome guys loving love, not only showing two points, but also showing three points.

Anyway, this movie can't hope to be assigned to the R-level area, which is not NC-20 in the United States, otherwise it can be assigned to the NC-20 area, and it will be assigned to the NC-17 area, so it doesn't matter what it is. And a group of long-legged and good-looking girls in Angel Economic Company are far more attractive to the audience than the heroines in the original movie.

And it has lower requirements for acting skills, and it can only be said that it will also study the director's skills and the ability of the props team, but Li Mo is not worried about it later, and he doesn't even interfere in the director's selection, because the new line and the later Lionsgate, what is the best thing to do?

The cost of production is the same as the cost of publicity...... But Li Mo said: "Its profit is not only at the box office, but mainly from video tapes. ”

Not only the videotape, but later the DVD came out, it will still sell well, and after entering the Internet era, if it is filmed, the audience will not be less.

For example, "Smell Like", which was released in the same year, is far higher than the box office of Fatal Corner, but a few people have seen it, but as long as you like horror movies, at least five out of ten viewers have watched Fatal Corner.

"Yes, yes," Robert nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and this movie was his big love, and if it was made well, it would be the second series of "Ghost Street".

And Robert also thought of the group of long-legged people in the Angel Economic Company in his mind, so he asked: "Lee, isn't it the rule of the Angel Company that no dew point is allowed?"

Li Mo said the difference.

"I see......" Robert understood.

It shows that Li Mo still loves employees, although he let them show a little, but he finally gave them several opportunities to Bo, you know, if they are other girls, what is the dew point, and even a chance for Bo to accompany countless people to bed, from this point of view, Li Mo still loves them very much.

The two parties happily signed the contract, and Robert went back happily with two scripts. Of course, he will hype it up, and since the end of last year, Li Mo himself can become a golden signboard. As a qualified operator, can you not use this signboard?

At this time, the American media also caused a sensation, and Li Mo's answer was decent, but he couldn't stand these shameless reporters taking things out of context, how happy and how to break it.

Moreover, Li Mo was originally dissatisfied with some of the Tiger Fund's secret practices, and he was also dissatisfied with these awards, and he was even more dissatisfied with the American rightists' desire to subvert China.

Some media analyzed Li Mo very neutrally.

First of all, Li Mo is indeed a good person, although he shorted Xiangjiang, whether it was China's pressure on him or not, but in the end he did collect several hands, and did not let Xiangjiang form a catastrophic consequence.

There are many specific manifestations, such as Li Mo's public welfare, whether it is the performance of the San Francisco earthquake, or helping the homeless in the United States, some of Li Mo's practices in China, as well as the super large orphanage "home", also prove this.

It was this kindness that led him to take the risk of agitating two Berliners to bring down the Berlin Wall.

It is also because of this kindness that he has become the best partner in California.

But Li Mo is kind-hearted, not a bad person, he also has his temper, so he raised his middle finger to the reporter who was in trouble when he was a teenager, and then retaliated against Xiangjiang in anger, as well as this dissatisfaction.

Regarding the relationship between Li Mo and the Tiger Fund, their opinion is that if the two sides continue to be hostile, the Tiger Fund wins because it has more connections, more funds, and is not a fund company, Li Mo wins in wisdom, so it may not be known who will die, and most of the time it will be a lose-lose situation.

Some media also vaguely pointed out that Tiger Fund's approach is a bit shameless and cannot be put on the table, and in this regard, it is not as good as Li Mo.

Of course, the business field is like a battlefield, in order to defeat the opponent, do everything possible, although the Tiger Fund's approach is not on the table, but it does not violate the law, or within the rules.

It is true that we cannot underestimate the role of Li Mo in bringing down the Berlin Wall with the Berliners, maybe as Li Mo said, he didn't think about the Eastern and Western camps at that time, but he did think of peace, and the pain that the Berlin Wall brought to the two Berliners, otherwise it would not have been possible to take such a big risk to do it, Li Mo is not a madman, on the contrary, he is a high-IQ and super calm person.

There is no doubt about Li Mo's feelings for the United States, although Li Mo's wealth is mostly earned from the risk market, but the first pot of gold at the beginning was obtained from the United States.

In previous years, the Americans were very enthusiastic about him, including the Reagan couple who also received him. Therefore, Li Mo will not reject the United States, and at the same time has many friends in the United States, and Hao Lick has become Li Mo's big butler.

That's how you think about it...... But it is true that Li Mo's initial wealth was earned from Americans, not from Americans in this life, but from Americans in the previous life.

However, there is little media recognition of China's system.

This is also in line with the thinking of most Americans, that the Chinese government is not a good government...... Come on, the San Francisco riots will be coming soon, see who is more ferocious!

But Li Mo is a good brother.

As long as it is not too much and does not push Li Mo into a hurry, Li Mo is indeed a good collaborator, even Don Valentine, the head of the Metasequoia Fund, has stated in the media that Li Mo is a generous and trustworthy person.

In the end, Oscar's approach this time is indeed a bit ugly, so whether it is driving for Miss Daisy or being born on July 4, these two movies are not enough, they defeat people and ghosts, it is really a bit unreasonable, and Li Mo also has a scissorhands Edward to help out.

Some people are also interested in the two movies made by Li Mo, and they all say that in these movies, Li Mo is the soul, whether it is true or not, everyone can't feel it. So whether it is true or false, these two "Chinese movies" are the best test size.

These are all expected by Li Mo.

He has done so much, if the American media still accuses him, it is really a reversal of black and white. The key is that it is difficult for them to reverse black and white, what Li Mo did, ordinary people in the United States can see it, how to reverse it, how to reverse it?

Li Mo didn't care what the American media reported, or how the media in other countries reported it, he was in a negotiation with the people of the Bank of China, and then he saw an embarrassing place in the Bank of China......
