Li Xiaole stopped and looked at the handsome face, quite familiar, the handsome Chinese guy who competed with him for the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor the year before last, Wu Yangu, born on April 4, 1974, is 183cm tall......

In "New Police Story", he performed very well, although his acting skills are not first-class, but he is extremely distinctive, he is an actor with his own unique charm, and more importantly, he has studied martial arts, the action scenes are very good, and his physique is also very strong, which is completely in line with the role of the patrol officer, well, the only thing that is a little lacking is that he looks too "clean", but if you think about it carefully, what's wrong with this? "The Walking Dead" is a movie that dresses up humans as zombies, and it is in a chaotic post-apocalyptic environment, and it couldn't be easier to make him "dirty".

Well, it's him~~

After selecting a satisfactory actor, Li Xiaole drew a concept draft, and finally gradually couldn't support it, hung his head and fell asleep quietly on the table, and he drew a sketch, not a concept map of the series, but a pattern composed of simple pencil lines, and a delicate pirate ship was written in front of him, and in front of him was written a beautifully designed abbreviated font "PTC" - Thepiratetelevisionpany (Pirate Televisionpany)......

In the following period, Li Xiaole began to communicate with Marvel several times, before which he did not have "The Walking Dead" in the comic book adaptation copyright he acquired, but although this comic was distributed by the comic book company IMAGE, its copyright was in the hands of the author Robert Kirkman, and Robert Kirkman himself debuted at Marvel, and he was also a student of the legendary cartoonist Stan Lee.

Li Xiaole contacted Marvel's chairman in the name of H, his partner Avi Arad, and then he asked Stan Li to be a lobbyist, apparently just selling the right to change the TV with no market prospects, as well as the $3 million film and television copyright price, which made Robert Kirkman very satisfied, and the two sides quickly signed a copyright transfer contract.

After successfully obtaining the copyright, Li Xiaole also wrote the script for the first two episodes according to Jihua, and the next thing is to recruit actors, and in this regard, he generally did not encounter any trouble.

The British actor Andrew Lincoln, who plays "Rick", "Glenn" Stevenyuan, and "Crossbowman" Norman Reedus, are all only third-tier actors at present, and the heroine Sarah Wayne Calis has also faded out of the "Prison Break" crew.

On the contrary, Wu Yan's group, which is filming "Night Banquet", has a slightly troublesome schedule, and everyone in the circle knows that the stinky Feng Xiaogang is a real hardliner, as long as he is filming, no one can lend an actor from his crew, even if Li Xiaole has a great friendship with him, the result is the same, Li Xiaole has no choice but to make harassing phone calls for three days in a row.

"Director Feng, think about it, if you don't borrow actors, in case my TV series is smashed, I can only go back to China, and when your film is applied for the Oscars in the future, you won't even have an acquaintance in Hollywood, I'm afraid it's too late for you to regret it...... Right. ”

But Feng Xiaogang was hard and soft and didn't eat, Ren Li Xiaole was moved by affection, Xiao was righteous, he was unmoved, and only insisted: "Xiaole, you are not authentic in this matter, you can't dismantle my platform for yourself, you wait for two months, and I will release you in two months." ”

This matter was finally resolved proudly, thanks to Wang Zonglei, the boss of Huayi Brothers, who heard the news, and he immediately rushed to the scene of "Night Banquet" in person, urging Feng Xiaogang to finish filming all the scenes of Wu Yan's group within two weeks, so that he could fly to the United States.

Feng Xiaogang asked Wang Zonglei confidently at the beginning: "Eh~Zong Lei~ Why are you turning your elbow out~?" Do you really expect Xiaole to help us apply for the Oscars? ”

"Don't count on ......" Wang Zonglei smiled helplessly: "If he stays in the United States for a longer period of time, our life will be better, so I'm afraid that he won't be able to return to China in the United States...... Do you want "Night Banquet" to compete with "Let the Bullets Fly 2" at the box office when it is released at the end of the year? ”

With this sentence, Feng Xiaogang immediately realized, and never complained again, and stepped up the filming of Wu Yan's "Night Banquet" scene day and night...... asked him to fly to the United States quickly and join Li Xiaole's crew.

These preparations are going on quietly, although Li Xiaole wants to change the logo of the TV station after he is ready to rectify everything in the pirate TV company, but it seems that the media with a keen sense of smell does not intend to let him go, and he got the news very quickly.

Especially after the iPhone began to sell well, both print and online media began to pay close attention to his every move, opening any newspaper, almost all kinds of different headlines can see his name.

"Jobs retreated into the background, announcing that Li Xiaole took over as the chief designer of the iPhone project, Apple's earthquake", "The global box office of "Life Remote Control" approached 200 million, and the old company United America turned losses into profits and officially began to regain lost ground. ”

The gossip tabloids are even more boiling: "Socialite Paris Hill invited Li Xiaole, a cutting-edge idol in the IT industry, to dinner, saying that she has admired a talented person like this Chinese director for a long time", "Li Xiaole moved to New York, and the relationship with Scarlett broke down............" "The latest selection of "People" magazine, Chinese men are getting more and more handsome, and Li Xiaole ranks second in the top ten handsome Chinese guys in the film and television industry"

Just when the focus of the media's attention is whether Li Xiaole will work full-time at Apple, or focus on Luen Mei and then shoot "Life Remote Control 2", Luen Mei's official website suddenly announced three major events.

The first is that United States is about to produce the movie "Assassination of Hitler" in which Tom Cruise is the producer and starring, and this news Tom Cruise also proved this on Facebook that he just registered, and Lianmei has already announced this Jihua before, and the box office faux pas of "Lion into the Sheep's Mouth" did not affect this Jihua Zhaocheng.

"The Assassination of Hitler" will be under substantial preparation immediately, and it is tentatively scheduled to be released in November at the end of the year.

This Jihua media fans have long known that it is not surprising for everyone to make persistent efforts to shoot a new movie, and what attracts everyone's attention is the last two things announced on the official website of Luen Mei.

The first was the announcement of Luen Mei's wholly acquisition of CBS's public television station HNP and its renaming as Pirate Television Company and its merger into Luen Mei.

Hearing this news, everyone's first reaction was, could this be Sony's conspiracy to let Li Xiaole carry the black pot?

HNP that mess is a well-known hot potato, no one wants to take over at all, and the development momentum is haode Lianmei weishenme wants to dig a pit and jump by itself?

What's even more incredible is that Li Xiaole officially became the chairman of Pirate TV Company. It's funny enough for a director with no management experience to run a TV station with more than 1,000 employees......

However, the "New York Times" reported a very professional review draft, commenting on the acquisition of Luen Mei, so that everyone understood Li Xiaole's position:

Because Luen Mei did not hand over the overseas copyright to Sony, the relationship with the head office broke down, and Li Xiaole's acquisition of HNP was simply to mend the relationship with Sony, in order to pave the way for Luen Mei's new movie "Assassination of Hitler".

I believe that it will not be long before this so-called 'pirate TV station' will seep through the deck and be drowned in the vast sea of the television industry in New York, which will be the price that Li Xiaole must pay for his naivety. ”

Entertainment gossip tabloids have seized on this point to report, "Daily Entertainment" said, "Following the success of iphone and "Life Remote Control", many people think that Li Xiaole is a genius artist who is rare in ten years, but this acquisition of HNP tells us that God is fair, so that genius artists also have bad brains when they are deceived, I am sure that he didn't know that HNP was the burden that Sony wanted to throw away the most before the acquisition. ”

Those neutral movie fans also have this question in their hearts, there are many examples of big directors going to be the boss of the company, such as Spielberg and George Lucas, who have their own exclusive formulas, but I have never heard of anyone buying a dying TV station.

Fools can see that this is a very failed acquisition, in the words of the New York Times, "People in any professional field will fail in their first investment, Li Xiaole is not the first, and will definitely not be Zuihou." ”

Compared with the acquisition of Pirate TV Company, the third new Jihua announced by Luen Mei Company is even more puzzling, because this Jihua, a director of Li Xiaole after "Life Remote Control", actually announced that he was going to shoot a TV series called "The Walking Dead......

A few years later, it was very common for film directors to shoot TV series, but now it is extremely rare, except for special cases like Spielberg's "Band of Brothers", usually only those who are not strong enough, or outdated film directors will deign to make TV series.

After the first appearance of "Life Remote Control", those who like Li Xiaole and those who hate him are very two-tiered, those who like him appreciate his differentiated style from American directors, and hope that his next film can make persistent efforts, and those who don't like him also hate his so-called "oriental artistic temperament", and want to see his next movie box office plummet.

But Li Xiaole suddenly switched to a TV series...... This caught fans off guard, even if it was natural to supervise a TV for their own TV station, it still felt a little unenjoyable.

At the same time, everyone is curious, will Li Xiaole continue his tragic and joyful narrative style and shoot a literary TV series?
