For example, Huang Xi's five-minute and fifteen-minute jokes on American talk shows made him famous in one fell swoop.

For the host, in fact, it may only take a few hundred words of speech to make him famous quickly.

In order to appear on David's talk show, Wang Yang prepared for more than ten minutes, which is almost more than a thousand words, and there are a total of five or six jokes.

Then, looking around, I got the contact information of the producer of David's talk show, and asked the producer to come out.

The producer of David's talk show is named Donnie, and he is a bearded man who doesn't look like he matches his name.

On this day, the two made an appointment in a Western restaurant.

Before this meeting, producer Donnie had simply understood some of Wang Yang's information clearly.

In the dining room, Donnie wore a gray suit with fluffy hair and a plaid tie, looking more energetic, sitting in his seat and drinking coffee.

Naturally, there are other people around him, such as some young people who have to go to work.

At this time, the door of the café opened, and a young Chinese man walked in with a business bag, this person was Wang Yang.

After Wang Yang came in, he glanced at the café, and soon, he found the table where Donnie was, and then walked up with a smile on his face.

"Hello, is this Mr. Donnie?"

"I am, you're Mr. Yang, right?"

Donnie and Wang Yang shook hands and sat down with smiles.

Both of them looked at each other with a pair of bright eyes, and waited for about two seconds. Donnie spoke first, "Mr. Yang." I know that you are a writer who has played the role of a host in Huaxia. However, to be on my talk show, I'm afraid you need to convince not only me, but also my colleagues. ”

Wang Yang nodded and smiled: "This is for sure, just let me perform, right?" ”

Donnie laughed and said, "That's right, that's it. ”

"Then I can show you the manuscript first."

"Yes, you can."

After Donnie took the draft, he also looked at it seriously, not bad. The content of the manuscript is of very high quality, and it is very suitable for his identity to speak.

Looking at the bright eyes, Donnie already has some bright eyes, but this does not mean that Wang Yang must have passed the test, because it means that being able to write it down does not mean that he must be able to say it.

The difference between a speech and a script is very big.

After the two had dinner at the Western restaurant, they took a car together to go to David's talk show NBC TV.

As the producer of this show, Donnie actually acts as an identity similar to a worker, and he does not have any special talents.

The main light. It's still David Mankton, who is definitely a star that Americans are very familiar with. He is a host who has won two Hollywood lectures, and his influence is unparalleled.

Therefore, Wang Yang's current mood is also nervous after all, because he is not sure whether he can really tell jokes in front of Americans.

Think about the videos of Huang Xi I saw in my previous life, basically just give a speech as soon as I open my mouth, and I don't have to pay too much attention to them, as long as I hear laughter.

In fact, Wang Yang himself will definitely not feel very funny, maybe it will be absolutely interesting.

In the TV station.

In one room, when Wang Yang and Downey walked over, they saw some pictures of David's honorary trophies hanging on the wall, including some celebrities who had been on this show.

All in all, David's talk show is someone who needs to have a certain identity and influence.

Wang Yang is actually worried about this aspect, in Asia, Wang Yang's fame naturally goes without saying, but if it is in the United States, it is really not clean enough to be popular, can the Americans give him a face?

"Donnie, you're here, this is a friend from Huaxia, right?"

David is a middle-aged man with white hair and eyes, and his age may be close to sixty years old, maybe an old man in Huaxia, but in the West, it can be regarded as middle-aged.

Wang Yang hurriedly shook hands with David and said, "Yes, Mr. David, it's a pleasure to meet you, and I'm honored to meet you." ”

"Yes, I'm the same, please take a seat, what do you need to drink?"

"Thanks, just bring me a cup of coffee."

Saying that, the two naturally sat down, and David continued to talk with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Yang, I have recently read your works, such as the Legend of Wukong, which is also impossible to have many Chinese Oriental classical works."

When Wang Yang heard this, his heart was relatively shaken, after all, it was a foreigner in front of the speaker, not a domestic reader, and a foreigner could say such a positive word, which naturally made him very happy.

"Thank you, thank you."

"Well, Mr. Yang is coming to David's talk show this time, right, I wonder if you can show me what you have prepared?"

"Yes, please."

Wang Yang also hurriedly handed him the manuscript he had left.

This time, David took the manuscript directly and tried to read it.

"Well, my name is Jim Yang, this is my English name, and I have another Chinese name, although you may not understand it, it's called yang.w......"

"My father, when he first came to the United States, was plastered with a lot of notes in his car, and one of them was, 'If you don't speak English, then you go home......"

"And I didn't understand this sentence until two years later."

After David finished reading the talk show, he was obviously more surprised than Donnie, and even said that he was a little excited.

"It's, great, very good script. Very humorous writing. David commented happily. This made Wang Yang also nod secretly in his heart.

David said again, "I think." There's no problem with that, so I'll invite you as a guest in the afternoon program, okay? ”

"Thank you so much."

When Wang Yang heard this, he quickly stood up, stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.

After a brief chat with David for a while, the two took a group photo and left their business cards before saying goodbye.

This is New York, Wang Yang made a call to Dong Chou and learned that he was filming in Hollywood. It's in Sony's studio.

The Green Hornet is a more Hollywood movie, one of the superheroes, and it can be regarded as a Marvel work.

Marvel works are typical Hollywood brainwashing works, which are equivalent to Ultraman in Japan, constantly influencing young people all over the world.

In China's superhero comics, there are very few, and it can only be said that there are no characters like Superman and Spider-Man.

So. On the whole, there is still a certain lack of content on this side.

Let Wang Yang think about it. There is no way for him to conceive a Chinese superhero in a short period of time, after all, such a work is definitely not something that can be made in a while.

Of course, there will be ready-made ones, such as Monkey King.

Speaking of Monkey King, why can't classical mythological characters be made into Chinese superheroes?

Wang Yang suddenly had some inspiration.

Counting some of the ancient mythological tasks of their own countries, you will find that many people can be made into characters similar to Marvel, such as Monkey King, Erlang God, as well as Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng, on the basis of mythology, modern re-adaptation, which is similar to Dragon Ball, is also on superheroes like Monkey King, and then has the characteristics of Japanese comics, so that it can become popular in Asia.

So for Huaxia, what kind of works should be made?

Wang Yang thought about it, and he felt that it was a very good theme to use a movie like "Kung Fu" to be a superhero.

Marvel's works are actually similar to Coke works, and the nutritional value is not very high, it may be that after everyone enjoys it visually, it may be forgotten immediately.

Therefore, according to Wang Yang's idea, he also wants to make a coke-like work that belongs to Huaxia in the market, so as to make money in the film market.

With such an idea, Wang Yang smiled and found Jay Chou.

……

The Sony studio where Dong Chou is is located is in the Hollywood shooting base, which is not a very difficult move, almost when Wang Yang arrived, it was very easy to find here.

The taxi listened to the photographer Dapeng, at the door, Wang Yang got out of the car, walked into the room, and he saw that there were many people who were busy, that is, the people in the crew.

And the appearance of some Chinese also made Wang Yang affirm, Zhou Dong is here.

"Hello, please show your ID."

"Wait a minute."

Wang Yang hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and dialed Dong Zhou.

"Hey, arrived?"

"Well, here I am, I'm at the door of the building."

"It's a sign with tent 5 written on it, are you not mistaken?"

"I didn't find the occasional reading, so poke it out."

"After waiting for a while, Dong Zhou came out."

After he saw Wang Yang, he walked up with a smile and hurriedly led him in.

Sony's studio, which is hard to imagine tall, almost has an eight- or nine-story ceiling, and when shooting, it will create a variety of scenes in this studio, and add certain special effects in the later stage.

Many countries around the world, that is, in Hollywood, because this country, as the country of origin of movies, has continuously made a lot of brainwashing works to make money for people around the world.

To be honest, Wang Yang's feelings about Hollywood are also very admiring and dare to be in it, which shows how much he was brainwashed by American culture in his previous life.

"How about filming the Green Hornet here?"

"It's fine."

The two came to the studio, Wang Yang looked at the crew they were filming, it was really advanced Hollywood, and the technology in filming could be described as something that Wang Yang couldn't understand at all.

"What kind of scene are you filming now?"

"Well, I don't know much about it now."

"I'm dizzy, isn't it. What are you doing here? 》

Wang Yang listened. I really admire Dong Chou. Filming here, it looks like you don't understand anything, which is too much.

"Forget it, let's go have a meal."

"Let's take a walk, I've heard that Chinatown here is good."

"Yes, this profit also has a Chinese theater, which has a room for your work?"

"Really.?"

Wang Yang was very happy when he heard it, and he didn't expect it to be in the Chinese cinema in Hollywood. will put his work, but think about it, in fact, this is inevitable, because it is a foreign copyright theater distribution company, after they get the copyright, they will definitely be screened here, out of here, I can't think of any other places.

In a Chinese restaurant.

Overseas restaurants are generally more resistant in terms of craftsmanship, which is worth waiting, and there are many Chinese delicacies. Even those that have been lost in China have been preserved in Chinatown.

The gastronomic culture of China. It only takes a little bit to make the people of the world feel shocked, after all, there are no countries where people can do a little, that is, they are born to fly, run on the ground, swim in the sea, all of them can have a way to eat, which is something that Huaxia does not know is to be proud of, or sad?

After all, on a global scale, China is the worst in terms of wildlife protection.

Wang Yang and Chou Dong entered the restaurant in a low-key manner, not to mention, because Hollywood is a famous place for world tourism, this good guy, as soon as he came in, there was a heat wave hitting him.

"This guy, business is really good!" Dong Chou looked at so many people, and his eyes also felt like they were glowing.

Before the waiter could recognize the two, he said, "There are no other rooms except for a room without air conditioning." ”

"That's what it looks like!"

Wang Yang and Dong Chou listened and looked at the lively hall, but they really couldn't find a vacant place.

"Then take us around."

When the waiter took them to the door of the room, they took a look, it was a fairly large room, there were a few people sitting in it, and the fan was there, but Wang Yang looked very hot.

"How?"

"I think it's better to change it."

Chou Dong and Wang Yang smelled the aroma of this restaurant, and they also felt a little hungry.

The waiter said: "Two, it's the peak season for tourism, no matter what restaurant you go to, it's basically like this, we're a little better here, now there are many people who have finished eating and just left, and when they leave, they will change your position." ”

"Well, that's not going to work." Zhou Dong said.

"You say okay, just do it."

Wang Yang nodded.

"Wait, I'll get you some food right away."

The waiter left in a hurry, and Wang Yang and Dong Zhou were not in a hurry to go to the room, so they wandered around for a while.

There are Chinese positions in the hotel, and there are also foreigners, and there are quite a few.

Wang Yang carefully observed for a while, and there were still some foods similar to Western fast food.

"Don't you feel like you're in the wrong place?" Wang Yang said with a smile.

"I feel pretty good, this one has a π to do."

"What's π, it's pain, right?"

"No matter what, just this kind of pain, when I served the food, there were not many people, so I waited for 20 minutes, and it was very good to eat two pains."

"Then let's order two,"

"Farewell, it's not over now."

"Okay."

After waiting for a while, after the waiter came over and ordered the food, he looked at Wang Yang and said, "I really can't figure it out a little bit." ”

"What can't be figured out, what's wrong?"

"You said you were going to set up a company, or for the film industry, how could you encounter such a big obstacle and throw dirty water on you?"

"Isn't this the practice of a pass in this industry, I just don't want to see young people yet, just like when you were at the beginning, when you became popular, all kinds of gossip came, did it annoy you?"

"Annoying! It's a special annoyance! ”

"Then you'll understand."

When the meal came, Dong Chou looked at Wang Yang and said, "This time "Zombie Out of the Cage" is going to be released in the United States, how about it, when are you going to release it?" ”

"There's no end yet. The plan is to be able to release it at AMC at the end of August. This time, a VAM agreement was adopted. If the box office is high, it may only make money. ”

"Wang Yang, your current domestic market is almost blocked above, will it be in the future?"

Dong Zhou looked at him with more concern, this time Wang Yang was hit, I'm afraid it won't be a matter of a while, it may be a long time before this ban is lifted.

"yes. I am now, I don't have to think about the domestic market in China at all, I can't get the movie back, how can I get it? ”

"If you can be like Ang Lee, it would be nice to be in Hollywood."

"This, it's a certain amount of difficulty."

Wang Yang said that his eyes were actually shining, because in the West, there are actually more development plans.

David's talk show is on. Although he doesn't dare to guarantee that he will be able to become famous or something, at least he can make the movie "Zombie Out of the Cage" be released quickly.

What about domestic. has not yet received the approval of the public for release, because he has left the Li family's team, so basically, Wang Yang does not consider this aspect of the market, and can only seek some copyright cooperation from the Internet.

For example, iQiyi.

Then it is possible to be able to review movies separately in special zones such as Japan and South Korea, as well as Taiwo and Xiangjiang, which belong to a separate market, and can be released and get a certain box office.

However, Wang Yang still doesn't have much luxury for these areas, after all, for the public, horror films are actually very niche.

Most of the people who like biochemical movies are otaku, and the consumption power of this group is generally very low, but in the United States, it is possible that there are many young people who watch such movies.

And then there will be sales in VCD, and there will be some revenue.

The income of American movies is actually far more than just the box office, for example, if a movie says that it has a box office of 400 million, then the total revenue may be 1.2 billion US dollars.

In China, it is obviously unlikely, because in terms of piracy, it still does not really reach the kind of environment in the United States.

Of course, Wang Yang is not worried about these things now.

He's already thinking, what's going to be the next movie?

In fact, in the United States, those that have a box office are the same as those that have a reputation.

The award-winning works can make him gain a relatively high reputation in this circle.

Wang Yang thought of some works, which can quickly get benefits in a short period of time, and it is a very large return on investment.

"A small-budget big-box office movie, so what else is there besides Blair the Witch and a ghost record?

"This man is from Earth?"

"And buried alive."

The corners of Wang Yang's mouth raised a smile, it can be said that the filming of each of these movies will basically not exceed two weeks.

If you prepare enough and invite enough people, you may be able to shoot a work in a few days.

And such works can win a lot of trophies and many honors.

Movies actually convey ideas, and different movies will bring people different feelings.

In fact, Wang Yang is still relatively good at pseudo-literary and artistic creation.

Burying such a movie alive, in the previous life, was because of this movie, which portrayed a fear in the hearts of the people in the United States under the dark clouds of terrorist attacks.

And such movies are often appropriate for the occasion.

At present, China and the United States are actually in the midst of international panic of terror and danger.

The reason is very simple, they are all under the power that has led to the exposure of many historical problems.

The United States, Britain, and Europe have many problems exposed in World War I and World War II in religion, including in China, because of their military strength, so the national problems that arise are actually not easier than those of other countries.

The United States has always been doing some racial and ethnic coordination policies.

However, Wang Yang doesn't intend to think too much about such profound content, although his movies will show this color.

"Hello, welcome to the Screen Actors Guild, what do you need?"

Alice, looking at a young Chinese in front of her, asked politely.

Wang Yang nodded at him and said, "I need actors, as well as renting some things for filming." ”

"Oh, then you fill out some forms."

In the United States, if you want to make a movie, it is actually very easy, and Wang Yang already has some experience in filming "Zombie Out of the Cage".

If he wants to make the movie "Buried Alive", he doesn't need too many people, just find a second-tier, or even a famous rookie actor, as long as he looks more like a real married man.

Then there are the scenes, props, lighting, cameras, and other crew problems, the Hollywood union side is clearly marked with prices, and there is already a very standard evaluation and recommended screening conditions, completely Hu Yong is worried or something.

After Wang Yang read it roughly, he filled in the entire form.

Alice took a look, the name of the movie "Buried Alive", and the investment capital of the film was 20,000 US dollars, which made her have to raise her head.

"Sir, are you going to shoot a family DV?"

"No, it's a movie."

"Okay, then you call it $30 for sign-up recruitment."

"Give."

Wang Yang handed over the money to Alice, she handed Wang Yang a simple document, and then said: "Sir, you check the identity information and contact information you left behind." ”

"Well, there's nothing wrong with that." Wang Yang hurriedly checked the side, and there was absolutely no problem.

"Okay, you set it the day after tomorrow, right, then we will notify the actor who applied for the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, yes."

It took Wang Yang about ten minutes to complete the recruitment task of his crew, and the salary of the recruitment in the position is relatively good, because the schedule is calculated according to one week.

Of course, if you want to shoot a live burial, the biggest prop is the coffin.

He thought about it and went to a company that specialized in custom-made props.

"Inc. of Implers?"

After approaching this company, from the decoration point of view, it is no different from other ordinary companies, but the lady at the front desk immediately greeted, "What do you need, sir?" ”

"I'll make some props."

"Well, please come with me."

The front desk lady took Wang Yang into a quiet room, asked what he was drinking, and then brought him coffee, and then said, "Wait a minute, our account manager will come to receive you immediately." ”

"Okay."

Wang Yang said, after a short while, he saw a blonde woman wearing high heels, dressed very beautifully, and walked over.

She said, "Hello, I'm Catherine, Account Manager. Goldorfin, you can call me Goldolfin. ”

"Okay, my name is Mr. Yang."

"Well, hello Mr. Yang, what kind of props do you need?"

"I need to make 12 coffins to order, the wooden structure is to be mobile, very easy to disassemble, and the scale is ......"

“OK、OK！”

After some explanations between Wang Yang and this Godolfinn, it was finally discussed that this coffin was made for a total of 7 mouths, because 7 mouths were enough to meet all his needs, and then one of the coffins was specially thickened in order to shoot some shots in the process of live burial.

7 coffins, a total of 6,200 US dollars, is not very expensive, because you don't have to think about the appearance, just use it for shooting.

"Well, in this way, we will finish 7 coffins in three days, can you leave an address?"

"You do it first, and I'll find a porter to come and transport it away when the time comes."

……

After Wang Yang left the props company, in the past two days, he simply prepared the script to be buried alive, the script of this movie is very simple, there are so many actors in total, and several of them are all dubbing, so there is no need to find actors at all.

The most important thing in filming this movie is actually the crew, and everything else is secondary.

Actors, of course, must have better acting skills. (To be continued......)
