Coming out of the bathroom, Shan Liwen had not yet recovered from the shock of what had just happened.

As the only person who knows about this matter, Shan Liwen didn't think about blackmailing Li Lizhen with this and getting some benefits from it, but after thinking about it, he immediately gave up this idea.

The main reason is that it's too risky.

First, it is difficult not to be discovered by Lin Youlun when doing this kind of thing, and secondly, after the matter is exposed, it will not have much impact on Lin Youlun, there are more female stars who have an unclear relationship with him, and there is no shortage of Li Lizhen, but as a single Liwen who leaked the news, he will end up very miserable.

After thinking about it, Shan Liwen still felt that it was best for him to "not know anything", and it was safest to hold this matter in his heart forever.

Shan Liwen returned to his seat, and a familiar drama manager next to him turned his head sideways: "Why did you go for so long and fall into the toilet?" ”

"I had a bad ......stomach last night," Shan Liwen just explained, but out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Li Lizhen.

Shan Liwen secretly screamed in his heart: Oops! When did this woman's seat change to the back of herself?

Li Lizhen's eyes were originally staring at the big screen, but when she heard the conversation between the drama manager and Shan Liwen, she immediately looked at Shan Liwen.

Surprise, worry, and anger were mixed in her eyes, and Li Lizhen's expression at the moment was extremely complicated.

Obviously, there was no one in the bathroom just now, why did the drama manager say that Shan Liwen fell into the toilet? Could it be that Shan Liwen was also in the bathroom just now, so wouldn't he know all about his own affairs?

The more Li Lizhen thought about it, the more frightened she became, and the whole person became restless.

Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will not have much impact on her. But the relationship between her and Lin Youlun is completely over.

Li Lizhen knew it very well in her heart. Lin Youlun never intended to accept her as a woman beside him. And to find an obedient underground lover, there are too many people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry who are willing to replace her.

Shan Liwen didn't expect Li Lizhen to change the seat behind him, and the other party had already guessed that he was in the bathroom at the time, so this matter was troublesome.

In a hurry, Shan Liwen suddenly thought of a solution.

"Everything I ate in the morning came out together, and I just went out to buy some medicine by the way."

"I said, why have you been there for so long, it can't be that you met some punctual girl in the pharmacy, right?"

The drama manager next to him was very indecent and joked, and Shan Liwen smiled noncommittally.

Li Lizhen, who was sitting in the back, breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a misunderstanding, which scared her.

Shan Liwen has been secretly observing Li Lizhen's expression, and when he saw her, he turned his gaze back to the big screen, and he was relieved.

It's good that I'm witty, otherwise I would have been exposed just now.

Shan Liwen, who was lucky enough to pass the test, changed to a more comfortable sitting position on the seat, glanced sideways at Lin Youlun, and found that Lin Youlun was talking to Wang Jing in a low voice, and the attention of both of them was obviously not on the movie.

On the screen, the plot of "City Hunter" has reached the second half, and Meng Bo played by Lin Youlun. and Kimura, played by Zhou Yanfa, had a battle of wits and courage with the bandits on the ship, and Meng Bo and one of the bandits met in a narrow way in the video game room. The two were electrocuted together during a fierce fight, and then transformed into characters in the video game Street Fighter.

In order to pursue the comedic effect, Lin Youlun tried to dress as a man and a woman for the first time in the movie, transforming into Chun-Li in "Street Fighter", and starting a different kind of confrontation with the gangster who transformed into Ken.

Listening to the bursts of laughter from the audience in the back row, Wang Jing said triumphantly to Lin Youlun: "How about it, I didn't make a mistake with this idea, right?" ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Lin Youlun saw through Wang Jing's intentions at a glance, and then Wang Jing laughed.

"I know that I can't hide it from you...... My idea is that this idea from the game could be taken out of its own and made into a movie, what do you think? ”

"A movie adaptation of a game?" Lin Youlun's face showed a little interested.

Wang Jing nodded, and then said: "I've been pondering this idea for the past two days, since comics can be adapted into movies, why can't games be adapted into movies?" Today's young people are almost all the generation that grew up watching comic books and playing video games, and the adaptation of games into movies should be very marketable. ”

Lin Youlun glanced at Wang Jing and had to admit that this fat man sometimes has a very good brain.

Wang Jing only sees the market potential of game adaptations, while Lin Youlun sees a new idea for Hong Kong films to enter the international film market.

Oriental movies are not easy to be accepted by Western audiences, the main reason is because of cultural differences, and the plots of most Oriental movies can only be described in the eyes of Western audiences, and they can't even understand it, let alone like and be fascinated by it.

Video games are more acceptable to overseas markets than movies, and most of the people who like to play games are young people, who will become the mainstream group of movie consumption in the future.

Use the game to open the way, and then adapt the game into a movie, so that it will be much easier for Western audiences to accept it, at least there will be no 90-minute movie to watch, and no one has yet to understand what kind of story the movie is telling.

Wang Jing wanted to shoot "Street Fighter", but Lin Youlun thought of another classic fighting game.

Of course, Wang Jing can't know what Lin Youlun thinks in his heart, and he is now immersed in his own ideas for that film.

"I think so, isn't it very popular to make campus films during this time? I set the story 40 years later, the criminal king General was arrested, and a week later, the iron-faced and selfless justice presided over the trial, and the general sent his younger brother to use the time machine to go back 40 years ago to find the justice, killing him can prevent the future trial, and the government knew about it and filmed three Wyvern special police officers to return to 40 years ago to protect the justice......"

"What's the difference between this and the plot of the Hollywood movie "Terminator 2"?" Lin Youlun returned Wang Jing's movie setting to its original shape with one sentence.

Wang Jing is thick-skinned enough, and he is not shy at all and says: "I am paying tribute to classic films." ”

"And what's next? Both good and evil go back 40 years, and the justices are still in middle school. Then they managed to sneak into the school and find someone. Three SWAT officers subdue a group of disobedient students. After the last, they found out that the judge they were looking for was among this group of students, this person had been with them all the time, but they never found out, and what was more serious was that the justice was often bullied at school, extremely lacking in self-confidence, and even dared not confess to the person he liked, and the three special police officers began to help him pick up girls and regain his self-confidence. Then the villain also found the justice, the two sides had a big battle, and the bad guy was beaten away after the worst, and the movie ended happily. ”

Lin Youlun finished speaking in one breath, and Wang Jing's eyes were about to pop out next to him.

"How did you know about it?"

Lin Youlun asked rhetorically: "Aren't these all the usual scenes in your movies?" ”

Wang Jing has nothing to say now.

Of course, Lin Youlun understands so clearly, in addition to his understanding of Wang Jing's movie, he mainly takes advantage of the memory in his mind, and has the impression that Wang Jing did make a movie "Super School Bully" adapted from "Street Fighter II", Wang Jing just finished talking about the setting of the movie, and Lin Youlun knew that what he was going to shoot was this movie.

The biggest highlight of "Super School Bully". It's not that the characters are all adapted from the game, but Wang Jing invited three of the four heavenly kings who were in full swing at that time - Liu Dehua, Zhang Xueyou, and Guo Fucheng as the starring roles. In addition, there are Zhang Weijian, Yang Caini, Qiu Shuzhen, Zheng Yijian, Ren Dahua, Zhou Billy, Chen Baixiang and other stars to play, such a cast is absolutely second to none in Hong Kong films.

On the surface, the cast of "Super School Bully" is no longer lost to the later "Infernal Affairs", and even many people will wonder if Wang Jing has traveled back in time when they see the cast list of this movie, otherwise how can they gather so many stars at the same time.

In fact, when this movie was filmed, the Four Heavenly Kings had just risen, and they were not as expensive as they were later.

Guo Fucheng only played soy sauce at the beginning and end of this movie, and only Liu Dehua and Zhang Xueyou really starred in this movie, and the other leading actors in the film, Zheng Yijian and Yang Caini had just debuted at that time, and Zhang Weijian was not popular.

Wang Jing picked up a cheap one.

But now the situation is different, because of Lin Youlun's intervention, the Four Heavenly Kings are already in full swing, and Zheng Yijian has starred in many movies, and it is no longer easy to gather these people together to make a movie.

The key is that Wang Jing's own thinking has also changed a little, this time he is more ambitious, and he is ready to kill all the four heavenly kings.

"My thoughts are like this, on the side of the Feilong special police, Liu Dehua plays the iron mask, Zhang Xueyou plays the broom head, Ren Dahua plays the developed star, and Guo Fucheng plays Ah Long; On the villain's side, Li Ming plays the Golden Retriever King, Billy Zhou plays the King of Thailand, and then finds a Japanese sumo wrestler to play Honda. ”

After hearing this, Lin Youlun immediately poured a basin of cold water on Wang Jing.

"The idea is good, but just the salaries of these people add up, at least 15 million, not counting the salaries and shooting costs of other actors, how can they get 30 million together, right? If you want to do a little better in the special effects, you have to add another 10 million, how much box office do you calculate for this movie to recover the cost? ”

This question stopped Wang Jing at once, he patronized the plot and considered the actors, and he really didn't think about the question Lin Youlun said.

Wang Jing is in a difficult situation, he never makes movies at a loss, and according to Lin Youlun, "Super School Bully" not only can't make money, but may even lose money.

"Otherwise, I won't look for the Four Heavenly Kings, and find a few cheaply paid actors to play?" Wang Jing tried to ask.

"It's doable, but in this way, what does the film do to attract the audience?" Lin Youlun asked rhetorically.

Wang Jing cried with a sad face, "If you want to say that, no matter how this movie is made, it will be a loss!" ”

"So, that's all you have to offer!" Lin Youlun glanced at Wang Jing, and there was a bit of hatred for iron and steel.

At the beginning, I heard Wang Jing say that he was going to find the Four Heavenly Kings to play, Lin Youlun thought that Wang Jing was going to play a big ticket this time, but he didn't expect it to be as small as before.

Wang Jing immediately heard Lin Youlun's voice, "You mean, the investment in this movie is not big enough?" ”

Lin Youlun pursed his lips, "Otherwise, what do you think?" Street Fighter is a game that has already entered Europe and the United States, and your eyes continue to stay in Asia, so it can be said that this theme is completely wasted in your hands! ”

Wang Jing finally understood this time, Lin Youlun asked him to broaden his horizons, that is to say, this movie should strive to be released in Europe and the United States, and the most direct way to win the recognition of European and American audiences is to increase investment in special effects.

In this way, the investment in this film starts at least more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and the little salary paid to the Four Heavenly Kings is not a big deal at all.

The problem of remuneration was solved, but immediately new problems arose.

Wang Jing initially considered using the Four Heavenly Kings to star in this movie, mainly considering the Asian market, if he expanded his attention to Europe and the United States, it would obviously be a little inappropriate for the Four Heavenly Kings to star in this movie.

"So I said, if you want to play, you can play a big game, since you are aiming at the European and American markets, you should naturally consider finding some foreign actors to join this movie, Iron Mask can continue to find Liu Dehua to play, and Aaron can also continue to let Guo Fucheng play, but the prototype of the broom head in the game is an American soldier, and you can find an American actor to play it, and the developed star is an Indian in the game, so go find an Indian actor to play it."

Wang Jing touched his chin, "According to what you say, Zheng Yijian is not suitable to play the Golden Retriever King, you should find a handsome American blonde guy to play it, and then find a person who plays Muay Thai to play the role of King Thailand?" ”

Lin Youlun thought for a while, "Zheng Yijian is indeed inappropriate, but there should be no problem for Zhou Billy to play the king of Thailand." ”

Wang Jing then asked, "What about the justice?" Are you looking for a foreigner to act? ”

Lin Youlun asked angrily: "I asked you to set your sights on the European and American markets, did you say that you should make Hollywood movies, so who do you think you should be looking for to act?" ”

Wang Jing knew that he was speechless, nodded and said, "Understood!" ”

Lin Youlun then remembered one more thing: "Also, your plot needs to be changed, the game adaptation must have the appearance of a game adaptation, all those and pee fart jokes will be deleted for me, overseas audiences will not eat your set, and then there is the most lucid ending, don't do any justice to gain superpowers, he is just an ordinary person from beginning to end, and the decisive battle is still on those game characters in the original version." ”

"The last question, how much investment do you think is appropriate for this movie?" Wang Jing asked tentatively.

"60 million to 80 million."

Wang Jing's eyes widened, "That's it?" ”

Lin Youlun looked at him like an idiot, "Nonsense, I'm talking about dollars!" (To be continued......)
