[PS2: Yes, it's still Inception, but please trust the old donkey, I will write new ideas......]

Regarding the plot of the upcoming movie, Hu Yifei has been tight-lipped all the time.

When he returned to California, he was constantly on the go. By the time he visited James Cameron's special effects studio, Erica had been in frequent contact with Warner Bros. executives to push for the new film project.

The success of "The Hangover" and the revenue share that can be obtained in the future have given her endless motivation. It's not easy to really receive this profit.

According to the terms of the contract, Warner Bros. needs to pay the box office share within three months after the film is released. The periodicity of the later peripheral division is another matter, but it can have a long history and be endless.

This may seem like a long time, but it is actually the most normal situation in Hollywood.

According to Hollywood convention, the settlement of the film's share is very troublesome, and it drags on for several years or something, and there is no place to complain except for the court. Even many companies that invest in movies have struggled until the company goes bankrupt, and often they have not received their due shares.

As for directors, if the production company does not want to continue working together, the remuneration that should be paid is often delayed for a long time, as has happened to the likes of Michael Bay and Peter Jackson in the past. "The Lord of the Rings" also went to court at one point because the other party didn't want to pay Peter Jackson a dime at all.

It is true that Hu Yifei is a rich man, but he actually has a shallow status in Hollywood, if Warner Bros. really doesn't buy it. Frankly speaking, he can only go to court. Even if Hu Yifei hired a professional team of lawyers and accountants to supervise, he could not fully guarantee the authenticity of the final overseas earnings, and could only control them within a small range.

Fortunately, "The Hangover" and Warner are only issuing agency contracts, and Hu Yifei is well-capitalized and is not afraid of delaying this move. He threw a piece of bait and proved that he had the ability to drop a big fish. Now a new big project is throwing, seducing the big fish Warner to swim out of the nest to smell the fishy smell of the bait.

Hu Yifei officially named this project "Inception", and next summer's summer file will be the most suitable date for release.

Now on the desktop of Warner Bros.'s high-level office, there is the script material for "Inception".

A script is not a simple copy of the big screen, that can't be done, first of all, a script is to be read by many people in the crew, the actors must be able to understand, the art director must be able to understand, and the special effects engineer must be able to understand...... It's not just the writer who understands it.

Secondly, a movie script, its length and content are definitely not just the 90 minutes or 120 minutes on the big screen. In fact, what the story of a movie will ultimately look like is decided and born in the editing room in the later stage, not in the initial script text, so the good scripts and bad scripts of each film company are piled up, and the screenwriters have not been valued and suffered from unfair salaries. Hollywood screenwriters also go on strike from time to time.

This is actually directly related to the amount of labor, and some scripts are not just something you can use when you write them.

Often a project producer will be more effective, which will guide the script to transition to the finished film, and there will be a lot of branches, several endings, and even contradictory content. Maybe a thick script will only use the 40 pages it adds up to, but it's just 80 or 100 pages thick.

Because the editing of a movie requires sufficient materials, the more materials there are, the stronger the flexibility, and no one knows what this or that combination will be, good or bad, without intuitive image materials and just looking at the text; With enough footage, editors and directors can be free to put together and find the best way to tell the story.

However, the more material there is, the higher the cost of the film.

A blockbuster can burn 200 hours of film, cut into a 2-hour movie, and often have a 3-hour or 4-hour director's cut; And small-budget independent films can only be shot without film, and the storyboard script is strictly controlled.

But Hu Yifei's new film does not have any financial restrictions.

In the face of Warner's top executives, Erica is still trying her best to sell the movie:

“…… We all dream, and sometimes you often feel like something you have experienced in the real world, so you can't tell if it's a dream or if you've done the same thing. Now there's a tech product that can force people into dreams. Even dream builders can enter other people's dreams and do all kinds of unbelievable things.

Reality has a vision, and it is possible to realize beautiful dreams in dreams at night: for example, they can fly, turn over rivers and seas, and there are groups of beautiful women around them, and even the whole city will be overturned. But the more out of reality the dream, the more unstable it becomes...... It often wakes you up from your dreams.

Cobb is a seasoned Chinese thief who was exposed to Dream Stealing technology while studying in France, and then became one of the best in his profession as a Dream Thief, as he was able to sneak into people's most fragile dreams and steal valuable secrets from the subconscious. Cobb's rare skill makes him the most coveted target of dangerous corporate espionage, but it also makes him an international fugitive who has lost the love of his own.

Now Cobb has a chance to atone for his sins, and his life will return to its original appearance if he completes the last task.

Unlike in the past, Cobb and his team are not tasked with stealing ideas, but implanting them. If they succeed, it's a perfect crime. But even with meticulous and professional arrangements in advance, it was impossible to predict that the dangerous enemy would already know their movements, and only Cobb could have predicted the enemy's whereabouts.

It is with this purpose that our story unfolds, and even enters into a dream within a dream, a deep dream to show the unbelievable dream world. ”

"Very original idea."

"It seems to be a bit messy, what is the time flow rate of the second-layer dream will be reduced, and there is a risk of getting lost when entering the third-layer dream, etc."

"Isn't there too much dogmatic stuff?"

There was a lot of talk in the office.

In the face of many high-level Warner Bros. executives, Erica Kardashian seems to be more confident and stronger than before in William Morris, she told the core content of the story for most of the day, but these bigwigs still look like they are waiting for trial, she had to exert some pressure, suddenly stood up and said in an oppressive tone: "Everyone, time is already very tight, we want to release it next summer, if Warner Bros. can't get the result as soon as possible, we will choose other companies as partners, Twentieth Century Fox is a very positive ......"

The circle is so big, the slightest bit of news will spread.

Twentieth Century Fox took over the distribution of the new film "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" invested by Hu Yifei's company, and even invested a little money in it, which naturally will not miss Warner's ears and eyes. And there is an unconfirmed source that Murdoch seems to be intending to give Hu Yifei his half-billion-dollar mansion in Beverly Hills, and it is suspected that Hu Yifei once guided him on an investment project, which benefited him a lot. This news has not been confirmed, and Hu Yifei has not moved in, so outsiders do not know. But it also revealed a news from the side that Hu Yifei has hooked up with Fox, and he is not as rootless as before. (To be continued.) )
