Chapter 412 Zhou Shaoming's plan

Omar. Xi was dumbfounded, came to his senses, covered his head, and said sadly: "It's me who is overexcited, how can this happen?" Looks like it's time for me to take some medicine. ”

Avril smiled slightly: "It doesn't seem to be incurable, it's a little self-aware." Just take some medicine quickly. Avril looked around and couldn't help but wonder, "What about Zhou?" ”

Omar. Nozomi shook her head and said, "I didn't see it." ”

Avril looked around, only to see Zhou Shaoming sitting on a chair in the office, looking seriously at the script handed over by Aziva, Avril couldn't help but step forward, put it on Zhou Shaoming's shoulder, and asked, "Now everyone is waiting for you to give the order to rest." You're hiding here and reading the script. ”

After Zhou Shaoming roughly finished reading the plot that Aziva had just handed in today, he couldn't help but rub his eyes, Avril closed the script and said to Zhou Shaoming: "Even if you are an iron beater, you should rest." ”

At this time, Benjamin entered the office and asked Zhou Shaoming, "Zhou, if there are no other instructions, I will tell everyone to rest." ”

Zhou Shaoming hesitated, picked up the script, turned the marked page, called Benjamin to him, and said to Benjamin: "Ben, copy a few copies of a plot and hand it over to Omar. Nozomi and others in their hands, tell Omar. Xi, his scene will be filmed at ten o'clock tonight. Let him hurry to rest. ”

Benjamin was stunned, took the script, and said to Zhou Shaoming: "I know what to do." ”

Avril's eyes lit up, and she followed Benjamin out of the office, and Zhou Shaoming leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to recuperate. Avril turned around and looked at Zhou Shaoming, who was resting, and sighed, Zhou was too tired. Need a good rest.

With Avril Naughty coming to Omar. Nozomi around. He grinned and asked, "Black Boy." Why are you still here? ”

Omar. Nozomi's eyes widened and she said, "Don't call me that, I have a name." ”

Avril nodded and said, "Oh, you guy with a name, you're still standing here stupidly. If you don't hurry up and rest, can you bear the night scene? “

Omar. Xi rolled her eyes: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense here, shoot at the same intensity as yesterday." It is estimated that everyone can rest for a night tonight and get a good night's sleep. Do you think I'm going to believe you bragging here? ”

Avril hated herself so much that she kindly ran over to Omar. Xi reminded, I didn't expect this guy to know what to do. Avril snorted and turned to Omar. Nozomi said, "Believe it or not. ”

Omar. Xi thought that Avril was idle and bored and joking with herself, clasped her hands to her chest, and said arrogantly, "I don't believe it anyway." ”

Francois. Cruze came to Omar. Xi stepped forward and asked, "Brother, what's the situation now?" ”

Omar. Nozomi looked around: "It's nothing. In this case, we will be able to sleep until dawn. "Omar. Nozomi laughed terrily.

Francois. Cruze looked at Omar. Nozomi and Avril glared at each other. The heart is really for Omar. I am impressed by this guy's communicative skills, and it has only been a day or two since he was able to joke with Avril Lavigne blowing her beard and glaring here.

At this time, Benjamin came, and Avril couldn't help but smile when she saw Benjamin coming.

Omar. Nozomi frowned, only to see Benjamin say to herself, "Omar. Xi, you hurry up and go to sleep in the house of car No. 2, I have arranged everything, and besides, the shooting will start on time at 10 o'clock in the evening, and someone will naturally call you then. While there is still some time, let's take a look at the plot to be filmed at night. ”

Omar. Xi suddenly almost fainted: "Boss, I've been shooting for a day and a night, do you want me to work overtime at night?" ”

Benjamin smiled and said, "It's all Zhou's meaning, I'm just doing things according to his will." ”

Omar. Xi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Brother Benjamin, you are a celebrity around the director, you have to tell the director, it's not that I don't want to, this kind of shooting, even if I can stand it, the rest of the crew can't stand it." ”

Benjamin hesitated and replied lightly: "You have a point. In this case, you go and talk to Zhou in person and see if you can change his decision. ”

Omar. Nozomi exhaled deeply, looking at Benjamin's expression, and there was a feeling of wanting to cry on the spot, and Omar wanted to step forward and say something. Xi, stopped by Benjamin, said, "That's the way it is, I still have a lot of things to do." Hurry back to the car and rest. Don't delay your evening shoots. ”

Benjamin wanted to leave, François. Cruze asked curiously, "Isn't there no part for me at night?" ”

Benjamin said with certainty: "No, you can get a good night's sleep, only Omar at night. Nozomi's play. ”

Omar. When Xi heard this, he complained: "They are all the same leading actors, why is there such a big gap?" ”

Avril said with a bad face: "Who called someone the No. 1 leading role, and you are the No. 2 protagonist?" The gap is here. ”

Avril said Omar in a word. Nozomi was speechless, thinking about Omar who had just come to her and wanted to remind herself of this. Xi, then smiled kindly at Avril: "Miss Avril, I know now that I was wrong just now, and there will be such news in the future, please tell me in advance, I will remember your good." ”

Avril glared at Omar. Xi Lengcold: "Who needs you to remember my good, next time Miss Ben will not reveal any inside information before you have any inside information." Avril snorted, turned and walked away.

Francois. Cruze pats Omar. Nozomi shouldered and said, "Brother, I'm going to work hard for you at night." ”

Omar. Xi couldn't cry or laugh at this time, only to see François. Cruze and Avril were gone, leaving her alone and standing there stupidly. Xi suddenly reacted and said to himself, "Damn, what the fuck am I still standing here for?" Don't hurry up and get some sleep. "Omar. Nozomi said, and hurriedly ran towards the house in the car.

With the crew of "Untouchable" working overtime day and night, under the guidance of Zhou Shaoming, the progress of filming was very fast. After twenty days, more than half of the film has been filmed.

In this month, the crew of "Untouchable", whether it is the actors or the crew. are working hard for this movie. But. After all, people's physical strength is limited, and as the weather gets colder and colder, the mental state of the crew members begins to decline.

Zhou Shaoming asked Benjamin: "It seems that our crew has reached the limit now, and it's time to slow down the progress." The film has been filmed for almost a month, and more than half of the progress of the film has been successfully completed. ”

Benjamin is still a little worried: "Zhou, we have been working so overtime this month to shoot, and we have only caught up with more than half of the progress." Will the rest of the time really be able to complete the shoot without any problems? You know, we still need to edit, process the film, and promote the film in the post-production, how do I feel that this is an impossible thing. ”

Zhou Shaoming frowned, took a deep breath of the cigar in his mouth, and responded: "I'm also worried, but you can't ignore the health of our crew in such a harsh environment, right?" Everyone is physically exhausted. It's easy to fall into the cold, have all the medicines we prepared in the play arrived? ”

Benjamin nodded and said, "It's here." We're all looking out for the health of the people on the set right now. In addition, we have hired a group of temporary employees who are specially equipped to move equipment, which has greatly reduced the workload of the staff. ”

Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath and said to Benjamin: "It's a cost problem." I know what you're trying to say? ”

Benjamin still didn't understand and said, "Zhou, are you really in such a hurry?" What kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd? ”

Zhou Shaoming suddenly had the idea of filming a comedy, and he wanted to dare to release this comedy at the golden moment of the Chinese New Year schedule, and the script was filming while rushing the draft. The main actors can only find those actors who are not on the top in terms of time, if it weren't for Scarlett Johansson and Avril, the two god-girl actors who are popular all over the world, to help out, maybe this comedy will have no heavyweight actors to attract attention from the cast.

This is the first time Benjamin has met Zhou Shaoming and decided to shoot a film in such a hurry, and as he was in the process of filming, Benjamin saw Zhou Shaoming's determination, and it was really difficult to release it in the prime time of 2 months!

But this time period is the moment of the global film war.

It seems that Zhou Shaoming has great hopes for a comedy that has not been prepared in advance at all, Benjamin is just afraid, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

According to Zhou Shaoming's desperate shooting of this film, Benjamin doesn't believe that Zhou Shaoming is just trying to stand firm in the Chinese film market, even if Warner Columbia, Fox and other major film and television giants begin to enter the Chinese film market at this time, this is something that no one can stop.

In fact, when Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company entered the Chinese film market, as long as it could achieve results in the Chinese film market, it had already been thought that it would be pursued by film and television giants such as Warner, Columbia, and Fox in the future.

Benjamin saw Zhou Shaoming, who was the director, basically didn't have a few hours to close his eyes every day, and when he opened his eyes, he either read the script or communicated with Aziva about the plot, and after these things were done, he began to shoot in a hurry, and the time for Zhou Shaoming to close his eyes all day was less than 4 hours.

Benjamin sighed and asked Zhou Shaoming, "Zhou, you still have any plans in your heart, can't you tell me?" Know that I'm your assistant and want to help you do more. ”

Zhou Shaoming slowly spit out a puff of smoke rings, and said lightly: "It's really worthy of being my assistant, and now it's still discovered by you." ”

Zhou Shaoming flicked off the cigarette ash and said to Benjamin: "How much profit did our Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company make last year?" Do you know? ”

Benjamin shook his head and said: "There is no profit, although "Hulk" and "Fuse" are very successful, whether in North America, China, or even the global box office, the good ones make people jealous, but in 2003, our plan to open a theater, after the North American and Chinese film markets began to build our own company's theaters, all the money we made last year was invested in the implementation of the plan to build a theater kingdom." ”

Benjamin really didn't understand what Zhou Shaoming meant, and said to Benjamin: "Actually, we are very lucky that last year's profit from our company's films was able to stabilize the investment in building theaters, at least there were no problems caused by a shortage of funds." ”

Zhou Shaoming didn't speak, smoking silently!

Benjamin was a little confused, and asked Zhou Shaoming: "However, the rate of return of this theater plan is very low, and it is a long-term plan. This year, we will be able to use the revenue from the company's films to supplement the investment in this cinema kingdom. It's already amazing. ”

Zhou Shaoming nodded and said, "Yes." So I said lucky. But unfortunately, when our theater kingdom was just getting its way, we got the news that Blizzard's accounts were starting to go wrong, and it turned out that they had been working on a new game. Something is going wrong with the accounts of our three-foot Blizzard company, which is very exciting, but it is also a headache. ”

Benjamin's eyes lit up, and he frowned and said, "But." With the strength of our company, it is impossible to acquire Blizzard. ”

Zhou Shaoming said with a wicked smile on his face: "Did I say that now we are going to acquire Blizzard?" Besides, the current Blizzard has given us a chance at all, and I estimate that we will have a chance around October next year. Got a chance? ”

Benjamin saw Zhou Shaoming's expression, Zhou Shaoming stood up excitedly and said: "The opportunity is in front of us, but the problem is that with the current strength of our Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, we can't swallow the cake of Blizzard." What are we going to do? ”

Benjamin's eyes lit up and said to Zhou Shaoming: "So we have to keep shooting new movies to get a high box office." to enhance the strength of our company. It's no wonder that after filming "The Incredible Hulk", Tesla also started filming a super blockbuster. is going to be released in the summer of this year, and by the way, there is also David's "V Vendtle". ”

Zhou Shaoming nodded and said: "Yes, now our company is mainly making profits from blockbuster movies, so we must closely follow this link, quickly concentrate funds, and strive to win the fat of Blizzard." ”

Benjamin listened to Zhou Shaoming's thoughts, his throat trembled, and he said what he thought in his heart: "Although I don't know where you heard that Blizzard is in financial trouble now, but Blizzard is a well-known game manufacturer, and I believe that they can't easily ask others to buy it." ”

Zhou Shaoming showed a sly smile on his face and said: "I can't answer this question now, and we will know if Blizzard can hold on to it around October next year, so I said that we have a great opportunity in front of us now." Blizzard is indeed a powerful game manufacturer, but the time and energy they spent on the development of this game is too great, and they are almost unable to bear it, and the capital chain is also tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall. ”

Benjamin listened to Zhou Shaoming's words and asked: "Then Zhou, I'm worried, because you are anxious, it will cause you to be too anxious when you shoot the film, which will affect the quality of the film, is this really okay?" ”

Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath of his cigar and said to Benjamin: "I have thought of this question for a long time, but don't you still believe me?" When filming "Untouchable", weren't you always there? Have I been too anxious and affected the quality of the film? ”

Benjamin sighed: "I'm afraid that you will be too anxious in the future, which will cause your reputation to be ruined because of this film, after all, the time in front of us is too short." Now that you've said that, I'm much more relieved. ”

Zhou Shaoming nodded, and smiled slightly at Benjamin's reminder: "Ben, although the comedy filmed this time has a larger investment than the regular operation, it plays a crucial role that cannot be ignored. ”

As Zhou Shaoming revealed the plan in his heart, Benjamin began to gradually and thoroughly understand Zhou Shaoming's thoughts. responded: "Now it seems that it was a wise choice for you to make such a hasty decision to shoot 'Untouchable'. When we take the lead in establishing Chinese theaters, it's time to repay us. ”

Benjamin said and lowered his eyes: "The Chinese New Year schedule is particularly important in the prime time of Chinese films, since you have a plan to acquire Blizzard, we must launch our film works during this period, at least let the Chinese audience remember us, and pave the way for you to hit hard times in the future." ”

Zhou Shaoming narrowed his eyes, looked at Benjamin's eyes, and couldn't help laughing. Said: "It's really my assistant, Benjamin, you see it very thoroughly. So what do you think will happen at the box office of this "Untouchable"? ”

Benjamin frowned and said, "Zhou, I don't think this comedy is as strong as the film "Fuse" at the global box office. ”

Zhou Shaoming was stunned for a moment, and said to Benjamin: "Tell me your opinion." ”

Benjamin said: "When people know that this film is a film that has been shot in less than three months, there will be a kind of resistance in the hearts of the audience, and this kind of comedy is not very suitable for the taste of Chinese audiences, and it may not perform as well as the North American box office in the Chinese film market this time." However, we haven't finished shooting yet, and the results don't allow us to make accurate judgments. I don't know to say that, right, Zhou? ”

Zhou Shaoming's eyes lit up and said: "What you said is not wrong, so in the process of this shooting, I am particularly cautious and rigorous, and I will not hesitate to provide such a good environment for the filming crew, just so that the best results can be filmed at the same time, and the film can be completed in a short period of time.
