Of course, filming "Iron Fist", telling a tear-jerking father-son relationship, taking into account literature and art while commercial, this is what Zhou Shaoming values most.

Even if it is a commercial film, it needs to have connotation.

The pre-production and post-release are trivial, and as long as the work is successfully completed, you can sleep at home and wait for the money to be counted.

In terms of surname, Zhou Shaoming is actually more optimistic about the movie "Warrior". For him, who has watched sports-themed movies such as "Rocky" and "A Tiger", blood and passion are always the best factors to stimulate men's hormones. Men should shoot a subject they like, even if it's just for a hobby.

Zhou Shaoming is not an indecisive person, but this time, he wants to be more cautious. Because, he is too demanding of himself and expects too much.

"Why don't you listen to other people's opinions?" Christina was a little hesitant, and these two movies made her have no choice but to suggest.

Whose opinion? Frank, Jon, Ben, Jeremy...... Zhou Shaoming smiled, this is his movie, he can listen to anyone's opinion, but in the end, it is himself who makes the decision.

Even Frank, the big boss behind Lionsgate, can't dictate his own choices and dictate his work. This is the dignity of being a director, which cannot be violated by anyone. What's more, Zhou Shaoming is now a big director.

"Sleep, my little darling, let's talk about the movie tomorrow!" Zhou Shaoming hugged Christina.

Christina nodded, obediently shrunk into the quilt, and soon fell asleep.

And Zhou Shaoming got up, came to the living room, lit a cigar, and began to study it seriously.

His brain was in chaos, and the images of various movies appeared intersecting, one moment it was "Iron Fist of Steel", the other was "Warrior", and the bloody and passionate fighting and killing scenes made him feel like his heart was about to burst. Without a doubt, these are two of the most excellent and very eye-catching works. Especially the emotional factors interspersed in the middle of the story, which made his heart throb deeply.

Recalling the shock that the movie brought him again and again, Zhou Shaoming fell into deeper contemplation. He hopes to bring his emotions into his works thoroughly, to experience the essence of the story.

Undoubtedly, that's emotion and responsibility. All the blood and passion, all the killings and duels, all the pictures and shooting methods that they have tried their best to show are responsibility and protection. That's love, it's a manifestation of emotion.

It's just that it looks more enthusiastic and manly in a man's way.

Yes, responsibility and protection, love and affection.

After grasping the elements that the two movies tried to show, Zhou Shaoming finally had a clue in his brain.

Although "Iron Fist of Steel Armor" is a perfect work, although it gives full play to the responsibility, protection and emotional factors that it wants to show, it still seems to be lacking. After all, this is a fantasy story set in a futuristic world with steel robots as characters. Although it tries its best to render the atmosphere, it lacks a sense of involvement. The perfect picture and superb shooting technology ruthlessly dilute this, leaving a trace and becoming a small failure.

After all, the people who watched the film were ordinary people, and many of their eyes were fixed on the wonderful picture. Although I was also moved by the emotional factors in the film, it was difficult to completely grasp their hearts and give them a sense of integration through their hearts.

Compared to the story and background of "Iron Fist of Steel", "Warrior", which is based on a mixed martial arts match with MMA, seems more realistic and emotional. Although it is much inferior to the former in terms of shooting, editing and picture, it is more thorough in the elements of emotion and responsibility, more able to move people's hearts, and easier to resonate with them.

The flesh and blood of ordinary human beings, driven by love and responsibility, forgiveness and redemption, can also explode with great power and passion.

The power of love is limitless, and so is the source of emotion. What's more, the emotional factors in this film are more extensive, integrating family, friendship, love, and even comrades-in-arms, teachers and students.

A brief and ordinary image can hook people's heartstrings, a string of rolling blood can break people's hearts, and a swinging punch can trigger countless people's screams and shouts.

What drives the world crazy is not violence and an iron fist, but love and duty, forgiveness and redemption.

"Flesh-and-blood human beings fight for life and death, and it is always better than cold steel fighting without pain." Zhou Shaoming clenched his fists, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

A box office failure? Maybe the director and starring of the original "Warriors" are behind the lineup of "Iron Fist" and Spielberg's golden signboard, right?

Now, his strength and popularity should create a different miracle, right?

However, looking back at the three movies I made, all of them were box office bomb films in the original time and space ("Chainsaw") grossed $55 million in North America, "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" was the No. 1 annual box office in France, close to $100 million worldwide, and "Resident Evil" was $50 million in North America and more than $100 million worldwide. This made him a little excited, and he hung his heart again.

Whether it will succeed or lose, Zhou Shaoming's heart was a little scared for the first time, but he didn't regret it-

Zhou Shaoming made up his mind to shoot "Warrior"!

The system has given him the entire script, and the movie is already flawless, but, as a director who already has his own set of ideas, Zhou Shaoming still revised a few places to make it more impressive.

"Hey Smith Chow, I heard you've already written the script?"

On the phone, Frank asked with concern.

"Mr. Frank, I've already decided, and the next movie I'm going to make is 'The Warrior'."

"Warrior?" Frank was a little surprised, he hadn't seen the script of the film at all.

"Yes, I have faxed the content of the script, if you are interested, you can take a look." Zhou Shaoming replied with a smile.

"Of course, Smith Chow, please believe that I will never miss your work." Frank said happily, then hung up.

After reading the faxed script, Frank was completely stunned. He didn't expect that Smith Zhou's heart work would be filmed with such content.

Although MMA mixed martial arts is famous all over the world, it has not yet been actually brought to the big screen. If you want to say that there are still selling points, but compared with the two scripts in your hand, it seems to be too far away.

As the big man behind Lionsgate, Frank is definitely a man who looks at everything for money.

He is very optimistic about "Mechanical Public Enemy", which is a typical commercial film. If the shooting is successful, it will definitely have a fatal impact on the eyes and feelings of fans. That's a guarantee of the box office.

Lionsgate is not short of money right now, but no one will dislike it.

Now, however, Smith Chow has told him that he wants to make a film that reflects the real reality of MMA.

"Smith Chow, you're sure?" Calling Zhou Shaoming again, Frank asked tentatively.

"Yes, Mr. Frank, I have decided." Zhou Shaoming replied with a smile.

Frank knew the young Chinese-American director, and he decided something that no one could change. However, he is still a little unwilling to let him give up investing in "Enemy of the Machine" and invest in "Warriors".

If it weren't for the success of Zhou Shaoming's three films, he would almost be too lazy to talk to him about the investment of new films.

"Okay, Smith Zhou, I'll let Jon talk to you about the next collaboration in detail." Frank tried hard to put on a smiling face, hoping that Zhou Shaoming could surprise him again, but the coldness that couldn't be hidden still came out unconsciously.

From the other party's tone, Zhou Shaoming could feel that the other party was a little dissatisfied. However, now that he has decided, he will never repent. If Lionsgate gives up on investing, there are plenty of other people waiting to invest. Now he is not short of money, nor is he short of investment. It's just that there is a lack of a confidant who can understand himself, identify with and support him.

But in an era when the whole world was full of copper stench, he never expected to find such a partner.

Perhaps, he should form a film production company of his own. Now, for the first time, Zhou Shaoming has such an idea.

"To hell with the capitalists." Zhou Shaoming's face was calm and he whistled not loudly.

He wants to use the blood-pumping movie "Warrior" to gain all the dignity and glory of Hollywood -

"Hi Jeremy, my dear friend, how about a drink in the evening?" After ending the phone call with Frank, Zhou Shaoming dialed Jeremy's phone.

"Oh, Smith Chow, it's a great honor." Jeremy jumped up excitedly: "Night?" I happen to be free, where do you say to go? How about Planet Hollywood? ”

Zhou Shaoming has been in Hollywood for more than a year, so he naturally knows what Hollywood Planet Restaurant is. It was an upscale restaurant with top Hollywood stars. Like Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger is the shareholder behind this restaurant.

However, according to Zhou Shaoming's memory search, this restaurant will probably go bankrupt in a few years. Stallone lost more than $17 million due to a failed investment, and even took the hotel's manager, Kehstarr, to court.

There is a phenomenon in the film and television industry all over the world, big names like to invest in other industries, and there are often investment failures. Stallone is just one example, and there is no shortage of such stars in China.
