Tao Quduo said at He Mu's wedding before that he would try his best to add a role suitable for him in the Hollywood version of the script, He Mu thought that with their friendship, he would not be inferior to the male number five, and the appearance time would be more than ten minutes. didn't expect it to be just a stronger role than the dragon set, could it be that his Hollywood debut was explained like this, He Mu was thinking about whether to refuse Tao Quduo's kindness, how to reject him.

Tao Quduo said, "For your role, I didn't quarrel with Werner a lot, I showed him those wonderful performance clips you played before, he admitted that you are an attractive man, and finally agreed to tailor this role for you, and Lionsgate has persuaded Wen Ziren to be the director of this movie, I believe that the start of production is just around the corner!" ”

He Mu wanted to speak and stopped, he could feel Tao Quduo's good intentions, after all, the Hollywood version was to cater to the European and American markets, and the script creation must be based on Lei. Werner is the main one, Lao Tao is only an auxiliary role, with limited power, and he can use his limited power to arrange a character with a distinctive personality, which is already rare.

Now a star wants to mix in Hollywood, this is the best way to increase his worth and influence, every actor hopes to enjoy unlimited scenery like Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, loved by people all over the world, the premise of becoming an international superstar is that you must appear in Hollywood movies, otherwise it's all, it's too difficult to make a name for yourself in Hollywood now, especially these Asian faces, when Lee Byung-hun played a male N role in "The Rise of the Special Forces Cobra", which made Koreans orgasm for a long time, It can be seen how deeply entrenched Hollywood's hegemony in the entertainment industry is.

Asian actors like He Mu who don't have the resources of Hollywood's seven major film companies. Cooperating with small companies and making some small-budget movies may be a good breakthrough, and Tao Qu can think about himself. This is the weight of their friendship, no matter how small the role is, it can be brilliant, even if the role is small, it is also a part of Tao Quduo's heart, He Mu can't push it out.

Tao Quduo continues to tell about the excellence of "cold.heart", full of pride. "Do you know the way, before Ray. Werner has given James. Wen wrote the script for a horror film called "The Other" and plans to make that movie in the future. However, after seeing "Cold Heart", he felt that compared with "Strange Spirit" in the classic horror film mode, the innovative "Cold Heart" made him have more impulse to create, so he chose to shoot "Cold Heart" first. Now Lionsgate is working on the budget for the film, as well as casting actors. And you'll be the first actor to be decided. ”

Maybe not as pessimistic as He Mu thought, Wen Ziren and Lei. Werner, the "father of chainsaws", is a director and screenwriter with a high status in the hearts of Hollywood horror film fans, and also has a certain influence in Hollywood, where big names gather, although Lionsgate is an independent production company, the strength is not as good as several old film companies, but the reputation is not weak, and the horror films produced by them have a strong influence in the whole world. Lionsgate deliberately made "Glass Heart" into a horror film "Cold Heart", at least it decided that this film would not sink into obscurity. No matter how bad it is, it can make a little wave in the big dye vat of Hollywood, and it is even very likely to be released on a large scale around the world, which is difficult for pure Chinese films to do now, if He Mu's role in this movie is bright enough, even if the weight is not so heavy, it can be easily remembered, and even when Hollywood producers need similar Asian actors, they will consider him.

Tao Quduo said that the script is written in English, and there is no Chinese version, if He Mu wants to act in this play, to ensure that his English level passes, at least listening, speaking, reading and writing can not pull back, now the script he has handed over to the Tang for Lionsgate, if the Tang agrees, everyone agrees on a time, He Mu will go to the United States audition, the domestic audition is not so strict, sometimes the investor in a word, saying that he is him, there is no need for a reason, and Hollywood is all for the benefit of the film industry model, Although the determination of a role will also have an impact on interpersonal relationships, acting skills and actor style are also very important.

He Mu was in awe of the American film industry after hearing this, he didn't expect that a role with a trick would have to go to audition, he was really serious to a certain extent, and the heads of these film companies were even busy.

Tao Quduo deliberately concealed the importance of He Mu's role, of course, he hid more than this, after saying so much, he did not mention that Wen Ziren wanted him to stay as the assistant director of "Cold Heart".

Because judging from the final version of the script, the movie involves Chinese and some ancient and mysterious things on them, although Wen Ziren has Chinese ancestry, he has never been influenced by Chinese culture, and he can't say a few words in Chinese, and I am afraid that he cannot do a perfect job in this regard. Through a period of understanding, Wen Ziren has a certain understanding of Tao Quduo, they are close in age, and they both have a soft spot for horror films, from the usual conversation, he can see that Tao Quduo is a very thoughtful filmmaker, so he hopes that Tao Quduo can stay in the United States to help him prepare for "Cold Heart", he will give Tao Quduo a position as an assistant director, in Hollywood, the young Wen Ziren is also a director with great autonomy, and he can completely decide the appointment of an assistant director.

Todo, of course, understands that he can be a James. What does Wen's assistant director mean, if "Cold Heart" can be a big success after the worst, he will share this glory, when he returns to China, this glory can help him quickly consolidate his position in the domestic director industry, but he finally refused, first of all, he thinks that Chinese films are his foundation, he has just directed a Chinese film with a box office of over 100 million, and he should strike while the iron is hot to produce more Chinese film boutiques and shape his own personal brand, rather than rushing to show his strength to foreign audiences, he is not He Mu, He Mu is not the top in the current Chinese film industry, even if he is not the best, he needs the recognition of the international market, and Tao Quduo must first consider how to conquer the people of his motherland with movies, and then consider developing outward.

There is also an important reason for Tao Quduo to return to China is "Art School Girl", although Tao Quduo has been abroad during this time, he has not relaxed about this thriller movie in his real sense, he not only remotely controlled Zhang Yueyue to make oil paintings for him, but also asked his girlfriend Lin Qingyi to help her screen suitable art colleges and universities nationwide as shooting scenes, and the information of the more suitable second- and third-tier actors in China was also sent to him through Datang's mailbox, and the basic work to be done has been done. He can't wait to express his thoughts through the camera, just as Wen Ziren can temporarily put down "Strange Spirit" when he sees the script of "Cold Heart", Tao Quduo can also give up the position of assistant director of "Cold Heart" for "Art School Girl".

After the last call, Tao Quduo reported to He Mu on the preparations for "Art School Girl", He Mu became interested in it, it is really unreliable to rely on a role that is no different from a trick to become famous overseas, or it is more realistic to expect his own movie to be a box office hit, He Mu has some faint expectations for Tao Quduo's new horror film.

Tao Quduo asked He Mu to give him a budget of five million, for a billionaire director, this production cost will definitely make people laugh, and even make people think that Shuimu Forest and He Mu don't pay enough attention to Tao Quduo, I'm afraid that there will be many film company CEOs waving banknotes and shouting to Tao Quduo "Mix with me, there is meat to eat".

As for the cost of production, Tao Quduo felt that it was necessary for him to ask James. Wen Xuexue, this guy won the global box office of 130 million with the $1.2 million cost of "Chainsaw", became famous in Hollywood in one fell swoop, and was highly sought after by film studios, this is all real data, compared to "Blair the Witch" and "Ghost Record", which are known as ultra-low-cost, in fact, used in hype and viral marketing, I don't know how many high-return movies show the director's strength, and horror films sell creativity and the ability to create atmosphere, which can scare people and make people say "I see!" after watching it! "What a surprise!" 's exclamation is enough, as for the big-name stars, their appearance is at most the icing on the cake, and it is unrealistic to expect the star effect to attract the audience into the cinema, because the return on investment is disproportionate, and it is better to use some plays, but cheap second- and third-tier actors.

And Tao Quduo is also ambitious, how classic "Saw" is, how profitable it is, he also knows something in the United States these days, it can be said that because of the classics of the first part, even if the evaluation and reputation of the later films are far inferior to the first one, the box office is not bad, even if the novice director operates, it can easily capture the global box office of more than 100 million US dollars, which is the charm of the series of movies.

If the final box office has a lot of room for profit compared to the low production cost, then the second part is likely to enter the film shooting plan of Shuimu Forest, as long as the movie is a blockbuster, the third and fourth parts are not a problem, and he doesn't even need to direct it himself, as long as he hangs the title of producer, he can sell it for money.

There are not many successful cases of series of movies in China, and they are basically Hong Kong films, and there are basically no blockbuster mainland series of movies, and Ning Hao's two "Crazy" movies can't be called series, but the names are the same. Take a look at Hollywood's "XX Heroes 2, 3" and "XXXX Prequels" to know how much a successful film series is a great asset for a film company, Tao Quduo hopes to build the "Art School Girl" series into a successful horror film series, which can not only leave a name for his own film history, but also leave a fortune for Shuimu Forest.
