Chapter 183: The Rift with Lionsgate

"Alright, Ben, tell me what Frank is looking for me." Zhou Shaoming asked with a smile.

Frank is the big boss behind Lionsgate, and now he suddenly finds himself for the sake of the movie. However, the popularity of "Resident Evil" has not subsided, and he has no plans to shoot a new film.

Over the past year or so, he and Lionsgate have worked very happily together, and if Frank has any good opinions, it is not a bad thing for him.

"Lionsgate has recently picked up a couple of good scripts, and Frank wants you to take a look at them and see if they are satisfactory." Ben replied with a smile: "You are now a big director in Hollywood, and Frank has to respect your opinion for the guarantee of the box office." ”

"Hey, Ben, why don't you just take the script over? I'm going to have to run it myself. Zhou Shaoming pretended to shout.

"Oh, Smith Chow, that's Frank, Lionsgate is a big company now, and he won't take my little assistant director seriously." Ben was a little helpless and shrunk his neck.

"Ben, remember, you're not your average assistant director, you're Smith Chow's assistant director." Zhou Shaoming frowned, took out a lighter, lit a cigar, puffed out a puff of smoke and said, "Next time, if Frank still treats you like this, you just let him shut up." ”

Ben smiled gratefully, knowing the last name of the man in front of him.

Smith Chow is now a cornucopia of Lionsgate, and every one of his works has been a big hit, making Lionsgate a lot of money. If he was really disappointed in Frank and Lionsgate, and left with his hands, the film company followed behind with a checkbook, crying and shouting for Director Smith Chow to defect to him, then Frank's loss would be great.

"Smith Zhou, I can't wait to work now, I want to make money." Ben smiled and said, "Frank is still waiting for us, can we go over now?" ”

Zhou Shaoming nodded, turned around and walked in front of Christina, and kissed her on the cheek: "Honey, wait for me to come back." ”

"Come back early!" Christina also kissed Zhou Shaoming.

Nodding, Zhou Shaoming and Ben left the villa together.

Driving a Ferrari, Zhou Shaoming quickly arrived at Lionsgate's headquarters.

In the palatial office, Frank had been waiting for two people, and when he saw Zhou Shaoming coming in, he quickly stood up and shook hands with him warmly.

"Oh, my Smith Chow, you've finally appeared."

"Mr. Frank, I heard that you received a good script, and I couldn't wait to rush over." Zhou Shaoming laughed: "You know, my job is to make movies, shoot good movies." ”

"Haha!" Frank smiled happily. He likes the smart and confident person in front of him, because Smith Chow really has the capital to make people look good. Although he is still young, he has already proven his strength with his works. He is a promising young man, the God of Wealth of the Liongate.

Frank did receive two good scripts, one for "Public Enemy of the Machine" and one for "Trembling Space".

"Enemy of the Machine" is a science fiction film based on the short story "I, Robot" by famous author Isaac Asimov.

"Resident Evil" has just been released, and Lionsgate has made a lot of money again. At this time, if the company produces another science fiction film, it will be able to seize the high point of those science fiction movie lovers again and successfully attract them to the cinema.

As an excellent businessman, Frank naturally knew the truth of chasing after victory.

As for "Trembling Space", it is a tense and claustrophobic thriller horror film, and the camera story plays a Hitchcockian suspense game. The storyline has a lot of similarities with "Chainsaw", and it is definitely a favorite theme for horror movie lovers.

The success of "Saw Horror" made Frank reminisce for a long time. And the continued popularity of the sequel made him spark the idea of making another horror movie.

At this time, the first person he thought of was naturally Smith Zhou. Because, he is not only a guarantee of the box office, but also an old partner of the company. It was he who allowed Lionsgate to break through the predicament, and it was he who made Lionsgate have today's glory. Lionsgate needed him, and Frank needed him.

After taking the script, Zhou Shaoming took a brief look, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless. He knows both films. The former is starring the big star Will Smith, produced by CanlawsProductions, officially released in 04, and has achieved good box office results worldwide.

Although the latter is not very familiar, I learned through the director system in my mind that it was a work launched by American director David Fincher, produced by Columbia Pictures, released in 02, and the box office performance was close to 100 million US dollars.

The moment he got the script, Zhou Shaoming knew what Frank was thinking in his heart. As a businessman, everything is for financial gain, and this is beyond reproach. However, there is always something incompatible with the old routine that has been hidden deep in my heart and the dream that is as hot as lava. And this is what Zhou Shaoming does not want and cannot tolerate.

He didn't have the slightest opinion on the script in his hand, but he didn't want to repeat the subject matter he had filmed again. What's more, some good works are that he doesn't want to be influenced and influenced by others.

These two movies have reasons to be filmed in terms of box office and influence in later generations, but Zhou Shaoming looked at the scripts of these two movies, but he couldn't feel any trace of shooting ** in his heart, a trace of impulse to tell, and a trace of holding the camera, bringing it to the world crazy.

I don't feel anything, I can only say that!

Although Lionsgate has helped him, Zhou Shaoming has made enough money for the other party. He doesn't need to compromise on everything.

What Zhou Shaoming hopes is that, in a sense, fate chose himself for that movie, not that he chose that movie.

"Mr. Frank, I admit it, both of these scripts are excellent." Zhou Shaoming shook his head lightly and sighed: "However, it is not a work that I am looking forward to very much." ”

"Smith Chow, do you have a better work?" Frank was very surprised, and his face was a little stiff.

He knew that this was an amazing young man who would always bring endless surprises. But the script he carefully selected was completely ignored by the other party, and there was a slight unknown embarrassment on his face, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He won't be overwhelmed by money, but the success of "Saw II II" with a change of director has made him quietly change his mentality towards Smith Chow.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Frank, but my new work is still in the works." Zhou Shaoming smiled, then shook his head: "However, it is brewing in my heart, and I believe that it will come out soon." ”

"Smith Chow, I'm looking forward to your new work. Lionsgate will always be your strongest and most trustworthy backing! Frank weighed his words and tried to look as amiable as possible, "Hopefully, we can work together happily again." ”

"Of course, Mr. Frank, I'm a very nostalgic person." Zhou Shaoming smiled and responded, ignoring the smile squeezed out of Frank's face on the other side, as well as the annoyance and disappointment in his eyes.

Leaving Lionsgate, Zhou Shaoming broke up with Ben, got into his car, and walked all the way to the villa.

Alas, with Frank and with Lionsgate, there was a tiny crack unconsciously, which made me a little uncomfortable.

However, cinema is my dream, and I can't let this dream be swayed by others, not anyone!

Zhou Shaoming thought about it, slowly pulled over the car, and communicated with the director system in his mind: "Little Lori, my beauty, you can come out." ”

"Master, are you looking for me?" The system ding-dong, and the seductive loli sound finally sounded. There was a hint of laziness in his voice, as if he hadn't woken up.

"My little lazy worm, you can rest, but it looks like I should be working." Zhou Shaoming shook his head and said, "Because, many people are still looking forward to me." ”

"What, you haven't found a good script yet?" Little Lori was a little surprised.

"What is too clichΓ© should not be repeated many times." Zhou Shaoming nodded, "I hope there is something new." ”

"Master, what movie do you want to make?" Little Lori asked curiously.

"I had a little throbbing in my heart, but I couldn't grasp it, it made me excited and excited, even boiling. I need you to help me think about it. ”

"Did the beast's persistence in the ring move you?" Little Lori asked thoughtfully: "Is it that man's roar, the action of desperate for your dreams that moved you?" ”

Zhou Shaoming smiled faintly, his hand propped up on the car window, and he felt the wind blowing in his face: "Yes, I am always easily moved by persistence and dreams, which may be related to my own story." ”

"In my movie library, there are a lot of movies about fighting and blood, do you want to watch them?" Little Lori asked a little wickedly.

"Uh, of course!" Zhou Shaoming also laughed evilly, this is his real purpose, that is the movie he wants now.

Parking the car on the side of the road, Zhou Shaoming watched impatiently.

The first film roared like a rushing train.

"Iron Fist of Steel"!
