Chapter 114: The Unbelievable Ins and Outs!
In a very ordinary café in Los Angeles, Luo Yaoxiang, who was supposed to answer whether he was starring in a movie or not, asked a rhetorical question, but this sentence made Zhang Wenhua's head sweat.
Some are embarrassed, some are nervous, and some are just scared......
"Ah Hua, if it doesn't work, I'll tell you." Wang Xianhu on the side was a little anxious.
"Thank you, Brother Xianhu, let's talk about it." Zhang Wenhua seemed to have figured it out, and only heard him say to Luo Yaoxiang: "Yaoxiang, you are much smarter than I thought." ”
"......" Luo Yaoxiang was a little speechless when he heard this, and directly gave a contemptuous look, because this reverse, isn't it just saying, Zhang Wenhua, this guy used to treat us as stupid?
Okay, that's a bit of a word......
To be honest, Zhang Wenhua was really flustered at this time, but he still said it.
"This matter starts with the news that I saw you being robbed and killed in self-defense......
Zhang Wenhua began to talk about it, and the things he talked about are simply too twists and turns!
What's going on?
That's what it's all about......
At the beginning, Zhang Wenhua saw the news of Luo Yaoxiang, and he was reading the book "Qingzhiyan" at the time, the plot of this novel, there is a part that is very similar to Luo Yaoxiang's murder, of course, Zhang Wenhua is sure that Luo Yaoxiang is definitely self-defense, but however, Zhang Wenhua thinks about the Luo Yaoxiang he knows.
It's just like the Kushimori show in the book!
I like to ride a road bike, I can draw, I'm a high school student, and even my family is very similar, a single-parent family......
What is it? It's fantasy coming into reality!
What a coincidence, what a thrill!
So, Zhang Wenhua had an idea, he wanted to adapt the novel "Green Flame" into a movie!
The idea is interesting. But it's also very difficult. Because it usually takes a certain amount of time for a novel to be adapted into a movie, but however, the current situation is somewhat special.
The novel "Green Flame" was only released in Japan this year, and it sold very well as soon as it was listed, Zhang Wenhua likes literature on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is a treasure island native, deeply influenced by Japanese culture, and he liked this novel when he saw it when he traveled in Japan.
The time is a little short, but not yet. Zhang Wenhua has some conditions in his hands!
One of the conditions is Luo Yaoxiang, this guy who is almost the same as the protagonist in the book, and the things he has experienced are similar, well, that is indeed the surface, and there is absolutely no conspiracy in the novel.
The second condition is that Zhang Wenhua has connections, and he knows the Chinese in the Hollywood film industry. Wang Xianhu!
Luo Yaoxiang really doesn't know much about this Wang Xianhu, but in fact, at the moment, Wang Xianhu is the best director from Baodao in Hollywood besides Li An.
Wang Xianhu was originally from Treasure Island, and he later studied film in the United States. Then he plunged into Hollywood and couldn't come out, what he is best at is not actually a director, but makeup. Special makeup!
I have to say one thing, that is, after Luo Yaoxiang knew about this Wang Xianhu, he went to the video tape rental store to rent the tapes of the two "Strong Breeding Armor". Then come back and have a look......
Nima! Fighter jets in garbage films!
Well, this comment is a bit excessive, because Luo Yaoxiang's vision is in the future and is used to being given by various Hollywood special effects, so when he sees the characters in the movie wearing rubber suits, like Ultraman fighting little monsters, he can't help but react like this.
In fact, there are still bright spots in these two strong armors, especially in the second part, the makeup level of the characters has been greatly improved, at that time, it was 91 years, 94 years, this film can also be used, however, Luo Yaoxiang also noticed one point, that is, Wujun Mei also played a Japanese student girl in it...... This, Luo Yaoxiang is not a mature woman, absolutely not, just curious, well, that's it.
And Wang Xianhu, as soon as he heard Zhang Wenhua's thoughts, he immediately felt that this matter was reliable, but what he cared about was.
It's a Japanese novel!
That's right, he's familiar with adapting Japanese things, he's filmed several before, and he's got some experience in it, it's really easy to master. Come on!
So he found another friend of his own, and that was Brian. Yozner!
Brian. Yozner, the director who made "The Living Jumping Corpse", is the father of the Living Jumping Corpse, and he is really a prolific ghost film director......
For the film "Living Jumping Corpse", the evaluation is still very high, everyone is basically saying that this film is very innovative, relatively brain-opening, so a director who likes to open his brain, saw a speculative novel, of course, he didn't understand Japanese, and the key plots at that time were translated by Zhang Wenhua.
This novel is good, the idea is very ingenious, the reasoning is very rigorous, and it has potential!
So far, one of these three people is making such disgusting ghost movies, all kinds of corpse things, the other is a makeup artist, he is the guy who plays with those corpses, and the other is just going through the peak of his career and was cut immediately......
Is it normal for one of these three to be normal?
But it's these abnormal guys, they all think this thing is great, there's a show!
Since there is a play, then let's find another person, to put it bluntly, it's just to find funds, and now the project is out.
Michael. Burns, this guy is now a big cadre of Lionsgate, and he has worked with Yozner and Wang Xianhu before, and he is a producer.
Lionsgate, this company, was only listed as Lionsgate in 1997, and this is a Canadian company, but people are in Hollywood, what do you like to say...... If you look at it this way, this film company is not very normal!
And as soon as Burns heard this idea, and then heard this story, as far as the whole incident was concerned, Luo Yaoxiang was still a rock star, and then came to our greater America to work in a convenience store, and then killed someone, so he ......
It's just fucking good!
So, as it is now, it is these abnormal people, plus this abnormal company, they have brought this matter to this point.
Right. All of the above is not that Luo Yaoxiang has a problem with his nose, the strange smell he smells is actually right, all of this is caused by these abnormal guys.
When it came to Burns, he naturally immediately talked to the Japanese side about the adaptation of the novel, but they are an American company, and they have cooperated with the Japanese side many times before, and he Burns has a way, and that "Strong Breeding Armor" is not also a Japanese comic, and it was not called Lionsgate at that time.
So. It went very well, and Yusuke Kishi happily handed over the adaptation rights to Lionsgate.
This Japanese mystery writer, he has no reason not to do this, so quickly, the adaptation rights were sold to Hollywood studios, which is a help for him in Japan, and a help for the sales of novels, big, big...... Got the affirmation of my father......
Then Burns did one thing. Even Zhang Wenhua, Wang Xianhu, and Yozner, these abnormal guys, feel very abnormal!
Find Jonathan, the lawyer, and let him go to court for that dead ghost Anderson!
This is the strange smell that Luo Yaoxiang smelled, hype! The smell of stir-frying!
It sounds incredible, but it's happening. And the most important thing is that everyone is happy, and that Jonathan is very, very happy to help a dead ghost in a lawsuit.
Why?
There's money to be made!
Burns gave Jonathan a sum of money, which was not much. It's only 10,000 dollars, and Jonathan helped that Anderson fight the lawsuit, how much can the beneficiary Anderson Sr. get?
500 US dollars!
Right. Luo Yaoxiang heard it right, when he heard this, his whole person was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and his compensation of 5,000 US dollars will fall into Jonathan's pocket, oh yes, there will be tax deductions, but Jonathan has a way, he is a lawyer.
And old Anderson is willing?
What's not to like?
Old Anderson is a rotten DU sucker, he doesn't agree, he doesn't even have 500 US dollars.
In fact, many strange cases in the United States are like this, especially some strange cases, which sound incredible, such as the chicken that gnawed on Deji has bones in it, how much money the company has paid, and the sky-high compensation or something, but in fact, it all fell into the pockets of lawyers, and the 'victims' couldn't get much money at all, and tens of thousands of dollars were good.
That's right, if the lawyer doesn't help you fight the lawsuit, then you don't have a point, your case is too weird!
Jonathan, a lawyer, naturally likes this case, and without spending much effort or time, he simply earned 14,500 US dollars, and he is also famous, can he not be happy?
And such a case, such a lawsuit, has the effect that Burns particularly wants to achieve.
The social effect is out, and many people know that there is such a thing, and, have you seen the novel that Jonathan showed?
In fact, Burns had already contacted a publishing house before, and the English version of "Blue Flame" would soon be on the shelves of American bookstores!
Just this matter, it's just too bizarre, after Luo Yaoxiang listened to it, he only felt that what else was going to shoot "Qingzhiyan", just shoot this thing, this is a good movie script!
It's full of intrigue and intrigues, and it's also particularly interesting that everyone gets the benefits, and only one person is consumed.
Yes, it's me, Luo Yaoxiang!
So......
"Brother Hua, do you think I will continue to be at your mercy?" Yes, Luo Yaoxiang's mood at this time is, Lao Tzu is going to fucking fight against you!
What the fuck starring in this movie, Lao Tzu is gone!
I have to say that Luo Yaoxiang's character is like this, he is such a stinky temper, but he didn't expect that Zhang Wenhua's words stimulated his temperament to the other extreme!
"Yaoxiang, now it's not a question of whether you accept us or not, it's Lionsgate that they don't care if you play this role or not! They're doing auditions, and they're looking for a lot of ......."
What this means......
Malegobi! I shook Lao Tzu around, and now I'm going to kick it?!
What about this role......
"Male's Gobi! Where are they auditioning?! (To be continued.) )
