Chapter 276: A Wild Disaster Movie
When he said this, Chris wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, which seemed to evoke the softest place in his heart.
Zhou Shaoming didn't know how to comfort him, he just looked at each other quietly, how sad and unforgettable it should be to be able to make a mature man in his forties cry.
In fact, there are still many gaps between Chris's real situation and the movie, the movie only depicts ten months, but the real story is much longer than ten months, when Chris was only 28 years old, and his son had just been born, and it was at that time that he met the man who drove a Ferrari.
Chris then spent ten months looking for a job on Wall Street, but only one person was willing to give him a chance, the Ferrari owner.
After getting this opportunity, Chris quit his job selling bone densitometers without even thinking about it, and then took his wife and children from San Francisco to New York, but the tragedy did not end, when he came to New York, the person who made a promise to him was fired, and his life began to fall into tragedy, his wife divorced him, and left him with his son.
A few months later, Chris's wife returned his son to Chris, who lost his last home for the sake of his son because he lived in a bachelor apartment that did not allow the children to enter.
For the sake of his children, Chris still left the apartment and began to take his son on a wandering trip, and it was not until a year later that Chris saved enough money to rent a small house, after which he was given the opportunity to train with a brokerage company and pass the exam to become a full-fledged licensed stockbroker. Then he founded his own investment company. became an enviable millionaire.
"Thank you for listening to me, a middle-aged man, for so long." After telling his story. Chris let out a long sigh, and then his expression began to recover, and he said to Zhou Shaoming with a smile.
Zhou Shaoming waved his hand: "Directing is a profession that puts stories on the screen, so one of my hobbies is listening to stories." I thank you for telling me such a moving story, and I'm sure it's going to be a great, amazing movie! β
Listening to Zhou Shaoming's words, Chris also showed a smile.
"So. Father of Chainsaw, can you tell me, what is the name of the movie you are going to shoot? Chris asked curiously.
"When happiness knocks on the door!" Without any hesitation, Zhou Shaoming said the name.
"When happiness knocks! When happiness knocks on the door! Chris said the name twice, and then said to Zhou Shaoming with a smile: "Yes, I like this name very much, when life is in pain, you must not give up your dreams and hopes, as long as you persevere, there will be a day." Happiness will come knocking on your door, OH. Great, Mr. Zhou, I finally understand why you were called a phenomenal director! By the end of the day, Chris couldn't contain his excitement.
Seeing the other party's excited expression, Zhou Shaoming just smiled faintly. Didn't say anything. The task of meeting today, he has completed.
"The movie is a good name, but I want to know who will play my role?" After the excitement, Chris asked the question he wanted to know the most.
After thinking about it, Zhou Shaoming still decided to tell the truth, and then said to Chris: "Mr. Chris, do you know Will Smith?" He agreed to star in the film, but his eldest son, Terry, is a bit older, and I hope to make dramatic changes to your life course, and please understand me. β
"Will Smith! Oh my God, he's my favorite actor! , I didn't expect him to play me, it's really my honor! Chris didn't care about Zhou Shaoming's apology at all. He didn't take the matter of his six- or seven-year-old son to about ten years old, in his eyes, no matter how old a child is, in front of his father, he will always be a child who will not grow up.
Hearing what the other party said, Zhou Shaoming slowly breathed a sigh of relief, he was still worried about whether Chris would feel unhappy because of his modifications, but this matter was easily solved, and Zhou Shaoming was naturally very happy in his heart.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing my life on the big screen, even though those are scenes that I don't want to remember but will never forget." After saying that, Chris smiled and rubbed his hands together excitedly.
Zhou Shaoming laughed, and then said: "Most people are supporting roles in life, and only characters like you can become the protagonists!" β
After listening to Zhou Shaoming's words, Chris suddenly became interested, and hurriedly leaned his head and asked, "Smith Zhou, can you also arrange a role for me?" I wanted to see what it would be like to be a spectator when I appeared in my life. I just want to be a supporting character in your movie! β
Zhou Shaoming agreed without hesitation, and said with a smile: "Of course you can, I will have to trouble you then." β
"No problem." Chris let out a hearty laugh, and after a pause, Chris said again: "You say that, now that I have the idea of writing an autobiography, I realized that my life turned out to be such a legend." I've already figured out how to write it, and the title is also called "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and there is no more appropriate name than this! β
"That's a great idea, you can try it out and let more people know your story!" After thinking about it, Zhou Shaoming felt that it might be better if he was in charge of both, so he nodded in agreement with Chris's idea......
If "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is published, it will be a good publicity project, the circulation of autobiography, coupled with the launch of the movie, there is no doubt that the publicity effect of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" will definitely exceed Zhou Shaoming's expectations, and it can also save a huge amount of publicity expenses, why not Zhou Shaoming?
"OK, it's a pleasure to meet you, and again, I'm looking forward to working with you." As he spoke, Chris held out his hand.
βMetooοΌβ Zhou Shaoming also smiled and stretched out his hand, and then held Chris tightly.
After a pleasant lunch and listening to Chris tell the story himself, Zhou Shaoming's grasp of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is also more profound. Not only did he know a lot of scenes that were not in the movie, but he also heard more of the protagonist's monologue, as well as the feeling of grief and despair, and the story line of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" became clearer and clearer in Zhou Shaoming's heart.
Zhou Shaoming believes that when filming officially begins, this movie will definitely be his most successful one-
Ben took the script given to him by Zhou Shaoming, and ran over in a hurry, with red eyes and told everyone that this guy hadn't slept all night!
Ben, like Zhou Shaoming, is the kind of person who works wildly, and the same temper makes them trust each other and work together.
"Zhou, Zhou! Are you going to, going to let me make this movie? Ben was a little excited, I really didn't expect Zhou Shaoming to believe in himself so much, and believed that a rookie director who had only made one movie would put such a big production in his hands.
"What's wrong? Is it excitement or lack of confidence? Haha, this movie originally I wanted to make, but I had no skills, so I could only endure the pain of love, but I believe you will be able to do it well. Zhou Shaoming pretended to be heartbroken and patted Ben's shoulder.
"But this, but this investment is too big, I'm worried, I heard that you want to make a movie with a budget of only $50 million, but give me $150 million for a movie!" Ben waved the script in his hand, his face full of disbelief.
"Don't worry, my movie will bring more word-of-mouth and good box office to Supernova Pictures, and yours will bring us huge box office revenue!" Zhou Shaoming said confidently, smiling and looking at the script in his hand, which had a line of big characters "The Day After Tomorrow"!
Yes, the movie that Zhou Shaoming gave Ben is a disaster movie known for its wild imagination: "The Day After Tomorrow".
In the original time and space, the visual effects that supported the entire film "The Day After Tomorrow" is the 20th Century Fox company's annual sci-fi blockbuster, with an investment of $125 million, directed by director Roland Lee, who has directed films such as "Independence Day" and "The Patriot". Directed by Emmerich, the new generation of idol Dennis? Quaid, Jack? Gyllenhaal, Amy? Lawson, Sarah? Ward and other starring.
The film tells the story of the earth's climate changes caused by the greenhouse effect, and the world is about to fall into the second ice age. The whole film brings together a large number of top-notch special effects, because the climate change in the film is caused by the sudden freezing of the sea due to the rapid drop in temperature, so including the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, and London's Big Ben will be frozen into icicles, the scene is extremely spectacular. Of course, in addition to the overwhelming natural threats, it will also be closely intertwined with the unforgettable and touching emotions between father and son, as well as between men and women.
The visual feast created by "The Day After Tomorrow" in 2004 is still the leader in disaster films, which is not only the honor achieved by the topic and special effects, but also the comprehensive quality of the film in drama, science, performance, narrative, and details, which is really excellent, in the years far from the 90s of the 20th century, it is admirable to be able to abandon impetuousness and shoot such a serious and high-level disaster film comparable to "Extreme Panic" and "Tornado".
Compared with the fixed model of many disaster movies I have seen before, from the beginning of a group of people to the last man and a woman to save the world, "The Day After Tomorrow" has achieved a breakthrough to a large extent, that is, in this movie, whether it is the scientist JackHall, his son SamHall or other characters, they are not heroes, they are not saving the world, they are just saving themselves, saving friends, and saving relatives from beginning to end, but it is this that makes this film more moving.
