Chapter 366 The movie is of good quality and fast to shoot - only Smith Chow!

"How do I feel like Jessica did it alone?" Zhou Shaoming muttered quietly.

"What did you say, scoundrel? Ask Sister Jessica if I can help! ”

"Alright, Zhou, stop making a fuss and try Jessica and Avril's craft! Shabu mutton, it should be delicious! Christina said with a smile, a little helpless to see Avril as angry as a child.

It turned out that after returning from Huaxia, the third daughter was more interested in Chinese beauty, and Jessica found a lot of information on these aspects, and today is the first time to try.

At this time, Jessica was holding the mutton hot pot and said a little embarrassed: "I don't know if it's delicious or not!" ”

"Haha, it's definitely delicious!" Zhou Shaoming laughed

The next day, in the Supernova company.

Zhou Shaoming is discussing with Aziwa and others how to change the script of "Fuse" for a better time.

"Director, I think, first of all, the setting can't be set in Hong Kong! Instead, it should be set in the United States, no, preferably Mexico, where there is more crime and drugs/substances. Harry looked at it and said first.

Harry is a member of Supernova's own screenwriting team, although young, but very passionate and energetic, and has a good leap of thinking, he is a script talent that Zhou Shaoming is going to focus on cultivating.

"Well, I know this, now I'm thinking, how to set up the role of Wu Jing, in my current script, Wu Jing and the other two are brothers, and now, two black people, one yellow-skinned, obviously can't be black." Zhou Shaoming nodded and said.

"It's easy to get it. It is set that three people are not brothers. And that old mother could be the one who adopted their three brothers. Aziva said without hesitation.

"Yes. That's a good setting! Zhou Shaoming said with a smile.

"Boss, does this film need to add sci-fi elements?" Harry asked again.

"Sci-fi elements are not considered for the time being, but some special effects, such as car explosions, need to be well made. And the selling point of this film is mainly in the tension of the plot and the popularity of the fight scenes. Of course, in order to highlight the selling point even more, the beauty of the fragrant car can not be less, integrating the selling point of "Fast and Furious", and then there are their own unique points! ”

"Director. Your idea is good, the fusion of Chinese kung fu and Brazilian martial arts to form a fiery fight scene, coupled with the special effects of Hollywood blockbusters, should look good to shoot. Aziva said with a somewhat appreciative smile, obviously understanding Zhou Shaoming's thoughts on the film.

"Who is Wu Jing? Director, why don't you look for Cheng Long? Harry looked at the script carefully and asked, although as a screenwriter, it is not his business to choose actors, but he was a little curious when he saw that the biggest and strongest villain marked in Zhou Shaoming's script was a person named Wu Jing.

"Cheng Long is not suitable. First of all, he is old, and secondly, Cheng Long already has his own fighting style. It's easy to change, and the film "Fuse" doesn't need that fighting style! ”

"Well, that's what I said, Cheng Long is not suitable for playing the villain!" Harry nodded, thoughtfully.

"Aziva, Harry, the script of this film is very good, but it is a little short, or too simple, the plot and atmosphere in the middle are not enough twists and tensions, do you two have any good suggestions? I was able to make the script a little more perfect. ”

"Cops and bandits action movie. "Space Prison", "Die Hard", and "Brave Many Islands" are all very good, and the script can be used to improve it. However, director, what I want to know most is, what is the level of your positioning in this film? Aziva asked, curious.

"At the level, PG-13 or R! The level of gore shouldn't be as bloody as Saw Horror. Zhou Shaoming did not hesitate and said directly.

"Well, director, I know, leave it to our screenwriting department! Give us three or two days to make sure you are satisfied. ”

"Then I'll leave it to you!" Zhou Shaoming nodded, happy to do it, it is good to have a team and a company, and many things do not need to be handled by him personally.

Chinese.

It's already early March 2003, and Wu Jing has just finished filming the movie "Drunken Monkey" at this time, waiting for post-production.

In recent years, Wu Jing has basically devoted himself to TV dramas, and "Golden Silk Rain" and "The Country is Important" are still very successful.

But the movie is not very good, and it seems that a star wants to become a big star to achieve results on the big screen, which is already a general trend.

"Drunken Monkey" is scheduled to be released in May, and the next step is to have some necessary publicity before the movie is released.

Recently, "I Am Legend" is being released in mainland China, both at the box office and word of mouth.

The results of "Drunken Monkey" can get one-tenth of "I Am Legend", and Wu Jingjing is very satisfied.

The Chinese film market is indeed much worse than that of Europe and the United States, but in recent years, it has developed very quickly, and Wu Jing believes that it will not be long before the Chinese film market will become hot.

Of course, for a Hollywood director like Zhou Shaoming and a world-renowned Super Bowl, Wu Jing still has some longing in his heart, but he knows that this is impossible, how many people in the whole of China are more qualified than himself.

But sometimes God likes to joke so much, when Wu Jing was still struggling with the TV series "How Many Lovers of the Children of the Country" and whether to star in it, someone called him, and this call came from Supernova Entertainment Company, and the other party said that Director Zhou Shaoming and Zhou Da wanted to invite him to star in a movie.

"Would you like to sign with Supernova Entertainment?"

"I've signed a contract with Xingyu!"

"As long as you are willing to come to Hollywood for development, the entertainment company you sign a contract with, we will help you communicate and terminate the contract!"

“”

Wu Jing just agreed casually at first, and didn't care much, after all, how could such a pie fall on his head so easily?

However, three days later.

Supernova Entertainment Company actually sent someone to Huaxia in person to Yanjing to find him, and when the person in charge of Xingyu Media Entertainment Agency told him that the contract had been terminated, Wu Jing was stunned.

"Congratulations on being taken by Zhou Shaoming. Soaring ever since! ”

That's what the person in charge said to him.

Afterwards. Wu Jing was in the excitement and shock after a few days. Restored to their original state, the supernova people followed them, and got on a plane to Los Angeles

Here, Zhou Shaoming called Jon, Benjamin and others to the office.

"My new movie is already in the works!" Zhou Shaoming's first sentence was straight to the point.

Suddenly. There was silence, Jon and Benjamin were silent, their minds blank and speechless in shock.

"Boss! It seems that "I Am Legend" has just been released. This" Jon was a little speechless.

"yes. Boss, don't you take a break? How could a movie be so easy to prepare? Benjamin also said that indeed, as an assistant director, he knows very well how difficult a movie is, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to create a good script, not to mention the actors

"I have already written the script of the film, and now the screenwriting department is refining and revising it, and I will have it in three days. Then on the actor side, I've already chosen. Zhou Shaoming's words were not shocking, and he swore endlessly. He took a puff of his cigar and said lightly.

There was silence again.

"Perverted!" Jon let out a sigh of relief. glanced at Zhou Shaoming as if he was looking at a monster, and then spit out the word.

"Boss, it takes a few years for people to conceive a movie, James Cameron has basically no film since "Titanic", and it is said that he is ready to sharpen his sword in ten years! How are you" Benjamin was a little speechless, Zhou Shaoming's output of making a movie was a little fast and scary.

"And boss, every film you shoot is a high-quality product, and any one of them is the pinnacle of a director's career if you take it out to other directors, how can you simply die! Boss, are you still letting other directors live? Jon was speechless, with exaggerated gesturing.

"No way, one idea after another! Boss, I'm a genius, okay? Zhou Shaoming put down the cigar with some trepidation and rolled his eyes: "Okay, it's not a sycophant to let you come, it's something." ”

"Boss, you say!"

"How's Wu Jing's business?" Zhou Shaoming asked first.

"Almost, no surprises, I'll be in Los Angeles tonight."

"Yes, the efficiency is good, I can't wait, the kung fu kid is here! Haha" Zhou Shaoming was in a good mood and laughed.

"Boss, who is Wu Jing?" Benjamin was a little curious.

"A Chinese actor, his martial arts are very good, similar to Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, and then he looks quite handsome, the most important thing is that he is not very old, 29 this year." Zhou Shaoming said with some pride.

For Wu Jing, Zhou Shaoming still admires and admires him very much, how many boring and lonely nights "Tai Chi Grandmaster" accompanied him back then.

"Good fellow, so strong? Why haven't you heard of it before? ”

"You'll find out later!" Zhou Shaoming is full of confidence, is it difficult for him to become popular?

"Boss, this Wu Jing can't be related to your new work, right?" Jon seemed to understand something.

"Of course, the second starring role in the next film is Wu Jing." Zhou Shaoming said as a matter of course.

"Well, it seems that another new star has been ignited, originally I thought that the best in Hollywood should be Cheng Long, Zhou Yunfa and others, but now I have changed my opinion!" Benjamin said with a smile that he is absolutely no stranger to Zhou Shaoming's star-making methods, as long as he has played an important role in Zhou Shaoming's movies, he is basically popular.

Let's not talk about others first, let's just say Harry in "I Am Legend", who played the wife of the protagonist Robert, but only a few scenes appeared in the memory, but now the popularity is also very high, a pure newcomer, but "I Am Legend" forcibly mentioned her popularity to the ranks of second-rate female stars.

"Okay, I'll leave some of the following things to you." Zhou Shaoming became serious.

“

First of all, the news was released on the official website that my Smith Week's new film began to be planned, with the title "Fuse", and then focused on a kung fu boy from China - Wu Jing, it is best to make fans all over the United States look forward to Wu Jing.

I still need two more people, one is named Chen Hu, who is now in Hollywood, and is a well-known martial arts instructor, you should be familiar with it, right? No matter what method you use, dig this person up.

Moreover, he sent someone to Hong Kong to invite the famous Hong Kong actor, martial arts instructor, and director Liu Jialiang to Supernova. ”

"Got it, director, martial arts instructor? Zhou, the film "Fuse" should be a kung fu film with more Chinese elements, right? Jon nodded and then asked curiously.

"A combination of East and West, so to speak!" Zhou Shaoming did not deny it.

"I have long known that Zhou Youhui will shoot Chinese kung fu movies one day, but I didn't expect it to be so fast." Jon was a little excited, he really liked Chinese kung fu movies, and he especially admired Bruce Lee.

"Fast? I've already made seven films, and this "Fuse" is the eighth. ”

"Okay, Zhou, the main thing is that your filming speed is too fast, almost two films a year, it's too terrifying, otherwise, at your age, it is estimated that you have just started to become a director." Jon was a little impressed, indeed, Zhou Shaoming had too many miracles on his body.

"Benjamin, your burden is heavier, and I already have a few of the main actors in the film "The Fuse". The protagonist Jason Statham, and then several important characters, Jaquin Phoenix, Jamie Fox, and Scarlett Johansson, need you to connect and then participate in the filming of "Fuse". ”

"Jaquin Phoenix, Jamie Fox, Scarlett Johansson, oh my God, director, these actors are not small fish and shrimp, it's rare to want to get together, maybe these three are shooting some films!" Benjamin was frightened.

"Do your best, I think if there is no schedule conflict, I will definitely be willing."

"Okay, director, I know, these three actors are big names, but if the schedule is suitable, they will definitely come, director, your appeal is not ordinarily strong in the United States!" Benjamin nodded, but he was a little confident, Smith Zhou's name is very attractive, and there is a well-known temptation for actors, whether they are stars or small stars

In the evening, Wu Jing came to Los Angeles, a bustling international metropolis, and not long after entering the supernova, Zhou Shaoming appeared.

"Hello, Mr. Wu!" Zhou Shaoming politely stepped forward and stretched out his hand, with a smile, feeling like the wind.

"Hello, Director Zhou, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Wu Jing was a little shy, and shook hands with Zhou Shaoming after being stunned for a moment.

Wu Jing still looks very young, still the same kind of baby face. (To be continued.) )
