Chapter 510: Why Should I Help You?

The preliminary planning of the "Detective" movie is basically in place, and after the actors are selected for plastic surgery, Zhou Shaoming considered the issue of the script, of course, the script of this movie hopes that Aziwa will handle it himself, but because Aziwa has been living in the United States, he can't grasp the plot in this movie!

After Zhou Shaoming thought about it, he went to Hong Kong in person to find Mr. Wei Jiahui to write the script for "Detective"!

Thinking of this, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, he promised Jackie Chan just now to let Jackie Chan and Fan Bingbing make a cameo in this newly prepared movie, but I didn't expect that so soon, Zhou Shaoming wanted to contact Jackie Chan!

Wei Jiahui is a Hong Kong film and television producer, Zhou Shaoming has never dealt with this person, but when he hears his name, he should be able to write a good script about the theme of this movie! With such an idea, Zhou Shaoming got in touch with Jackie Chan!

However, Wei Jiahui has no friendship with him after all, so why should he help him? Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but take a deep breath, although with the help of Jackie Chan, Zhou Shaoming was affirmed and could see this person! But after seeing this person, what reason do you have to make him move and become the screenwriter of this movie?

This is what Zhou Shaoming has to consider, when Zhou Shaoming has not yet left for Hong Kong, Blizzard has fired the first shot for supernova entertainment film and television since 2005!

At the beginning of 2005, the game of the movie "League of Assassins" was completed, and there was a plan to go on sale, for such news, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but laugh at the corner of his mouth!

Blizzard spent 9 years completing World of Warcraft, and from the beginning of the game, players really got a real experience of 3D gameplay, but for the speed with which Blizzard developed the game, I really can't agree with it!

With the passage of about 3 months, the development of the game "League of Assassins". Blizzard completed the task in a short period of time, which made Zhou Shaoming breathe a sigh of relief!

For Zhou Shaoming's future plans, when he shoots a movie that has the potential to become a global hit in the future, he will begin to prepare for it, cooperate with the plot of the movie in advance, and let Blizzard develop its relative version of the game!

In this way, after the release of the movie, the sales of the game version can keep up, and although this version of the League of Assassins game began to go on sale, it was only with the passage of 3 months. The Assassin limelight has faded and the game is selling tepidly in the market!

After Blizzard fired its first shot in 2005, Supernova Entertainment's luck model gradually improved! The headquarters of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, which was led by Zhou Shaoming, carried out the preparation, shooting and editing of the movie, among which its Marvel company could provide good materials for film shooting! Finally, Blizzard completes the release of the movie, and if necessary, develops its movie into a game, realizing the mode of game movie distribution!

After Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company completed the restructuring of the company model in 04 last year, at the beginning of 05, Zhou Shaoming took advantage of the company's strong development momentum. Choose to start filming a new movie, "Detective"!

Although the cast of this movie is not as strong as that of the Assassin movie, with the addition of Avril, it will have a certain impact both in North America and the world! In addition to the starring role of Bell, who has a certain popularity in Hollywood, this movie even if it is released. The box office results of North American movies will not be very bad!

Zhou Shaoming wants this movie to achieve a bumper harvest at the box office and word of mouth, so he urgently needs a screenwriter who can complete his ideas!

Among the screenwriters under his own company, there is talent in the pace. But most of them are influenced by Western ideas and can't write the essence of this movie in the form of a script! Thinking of this, Zhou Shaoming planned to go to Hong Kong in person. The final and crucial step in the preparation of this film is complete!

Supernova began to flourish in 2005, with the stabilization of the company's model, the scale of the company can not be the same, compared to Lionsgate, DreamWorks, these film and television companies, Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, its strength began to far surpass them!

Lionsgate has not released a movie that can rank in the top 10 of the North American box office list in recent years, and its share in the North American market is gradually replaced by Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company!

And DreamWorks, a film and television company with a long history, released in 04 "Shrek 2" The box office premiere of the movie "Shrek 2" made people's eyes shine, with the success of this movie in the North American market to sweep away 440 million box office results, although not as high as the box office results of the "League of Assassins" movie!

But in 04, it's already a commendable work! However, the dilemma of DreamWorks is gradually revealed!

Although the monster movie has hundreds of millions of box office results around the world, only tens of millions of money really fell into the hands of DreamWorks, and the rest of the profits were all taken away by theaters, directors, and distributors!

At the beginning of '05, DreamWorks Pictures was already in danger of collapse! This insider is also known only to those who are engaged in the film and television industry!

Looking at what happened to DreamWorks, George kept rejoicing that Zhou Shaoming persevered in the face of billions of debts last year, completed Blizzard's acquisition, and successfully formed his own distribution company.

But at this time, Zhou Shaoming was not as proud as George's praise, you must know that at this time, Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company still has billions of debts, and has to bear huge amounts of interest every year, although "League of Assassins" in 04 At the end, it brought hundreds of millions of benefits to Supernova Entertainment Film and Television, but compared to the debts owed by Supernova Entertainment Film and Television, it is like a drop in the bucket!

Zhou Shaoming frowned, and said to George: "George, I plan to go to Hong Kong, for Dixon's new movie "Twilight Allure", you plan well during my absence, although our company is facing financial difficulties, but all expenses such as the promotion of the new film cannot be too shabby!" ”

George was stunned, and before Zhou Shaoming could finish speaking, he asked, "Wait, Zhou, Dixon's "Twilight Allure" movie?" When did filming start, and how did I not know? ”

When Zhou Shaoming talked about Dixon, he couldn't help but complain a little in his stomach about the task given to Dixon last year. is to shoot a movie, with the filming of the fourth season of "The Walking Dead", Zhou Shaoming decisively asked Dixon not to continue the TV theme of "The Walking Dead", let him shoot a movie first, and then arrange another theme!

Unexpectedly, after more than half a year, Dixon finished filming the movie "Twilight Allure", which really made Zhou Shaoming a little embarrassed!

However, with the filming of this movie from 04 to the present, it just made Zhou Shaoming cry out in his heart about the coincidence of time, with the beginning of 05, Zhou Shaoming wants to make this movie the first shot of this year's movie release!

After Blizzard completes the version of the League of Assassins game. Successfully ended the finishing work of 04 years, and in the company's operation mode, Blizzard's first shot came out, and it was also the finishing work!

However, for the release of film and television works, Zhou Shaoming did not show weakness here, as Dixon finally brought the movie "Twilight Allure", which he filmed last year and finally finished filming this year!

Zhou Shaoming said lightly: "It was last year, I didn't mobilize all the directors of our company. To make a movie, whether it was me, Tesla Ben, and the three of Dixon began to dare to make new movies. With the lack of director positions, the young David was also put on the throne and filmed "V Venddetta", as for Dixon. It was as if the progress of the film was too slow, and it was over last year before it came to me. said that the movie was completed, and I couldn't laugh or cry angrily on the spot! ”

George's eyes rolled and he said with some disbelief: "You have been keeping Dixon's work a secret, and it must have been decided in advance, and you plan to let Dixon release his new film at the beginning of this year, right?" ”

Zhou Shaoming said with a smile: "How can I have such a god, everything can be arranged in advance, but the progress of Dixon's filming this time is really wonderful!" ”

George snorted and said to himself, "No wonder on the night of the last carnival, I saw Dixon arrive in a hurry and leave without saying a few words to you." George said with some dissatisfaction: "Zhou, something like this, communicate more with me in the future, or it will always disrupt my plan!" ”

Zhou Shaoming was stunned and couldn't help asking, "What plan do you have!" ”

George snorted and said, "You've already started preparing for the wedding, and you already have a woman!" Of course, I also hope to have a good vacation and have a good rest while you go out! ”

Zhou Shaoming listened to George's nagging, and couldn't help laughing: "Not now, it must be when our new movie is released, you must know that this time will be very busy!" ”

George said impatiently: "I know, I know, every time we are busy, you come back to watch the box office results and the audience's reputation!" Hey, it looks like I'm going to change my career to be a director too.! ”

Zhou Shaoming's eyes lit up and said: "I'm having a headache about the shortage of directors in our company, or I'll train you to be an excellent director!" ”

When George heard Zhou Shaoming's serious and joking tone, he hurriedly stopped and said, "Forget it, I don't dare to be interested in directing." George was a little puzzled: "Doesn't our company already have four directors running normally, why are you still shouting about the lack of directors?" ”

Zhou Shaoming sighed and said: "You have also seen it, Dixon, this guy, is arranging the progress of the TV series, but when he encounters a movie theme, he is as slow as a snail, let him shoot a movie, and others will not shoot more than two, maybe he can give himself a good rest for a while in the middle!" I promised Dixon last year that I would give him a new TV theme when he made this movie! ”

After listening to Zhou Shaoming's bitterness, George really felt aggrieved for Dixon, and said: "I can now imagine the painful look on Dixon when you asked him to make a movie. ”

Zhou Shaoming was stunned, he didn't understand George's words at first, but in a blink of an eye he understood George's words, glanced at George, and said: "I'm dizzy, but after this time, it seems that Dixon's work will return to TV themes in the future, fortunately, David successfully took the position last year!" However, the director gap is still a problem faced by our company, you have to pay more attention! ”

Zhou Shaoming said that Benjamin appeared, George randomly pointed at Benjamin and said: "Isn't this ready-made, Tesla used to be your assistant, isn't it still a well-known director, you can also spend more time to train Benjamin and make him the next high-level director in our company!" ”

Hearing George's words, Zhou Shaoming thought that there was some truth and couldn't help asking, "Ben." There is no such consideration! ”

Benjamin was stunned when he heard Zhou Shaoming's words, and after pondering for a while, Benjamin still politely refused, and said, "Zhou, I still hope to stay by your side and help you deal with some trivial things!" ”

Zhou Shaoming nodded and said lightly: "Everyone has their own ambitions!" ”

George was very incomprehensible and said, "Everyone wants to be a director, and this opportunity is in front of you." You stupid boy doesn't even cherish it! ”

Zhou Shaoming looked at George and complained a little about Benjamin, and said lightly: "I think you are far more clever than Benjamin, or I will train you to become the next high-ranking director in our company first!" ”

When George heard Zhou Shaoming coming out for Benjamin, he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Well, I don't know that I have the talent to be a director, so it's better to be an errand runner, so I'd better contact Dixon quickly and hear what good ideas he has for this movie promotion!" ”

Thirty-six plans are the upper ones. George hurriedly left Zhou Shaoming's office!

"Zhou, don't we already have four high-level directors in our company? Still missing a place for a director? "Benjamin doesn't understand!

Zhou Shaoming said truthfully: "Yes, as our company began to gradually increase the number of movies released every year, Dixon only focused on the shooting of TV themes. So I think the company is still promoting another director early to meet the company's film shooting tasks! ”

Seeing George leaving, Zhou Shaoming asked again: "I don't know if you are interested in the director?" "Benjamin, who has been with him all the time, has a conscientious attitude towards his work, just now because of George's presence. After George left, Zhou Shaoming asked Benjamin again what he meant!

Benjamin pondered for a moment and said, "I'm used to being behind you. Seeing that you are becoming more and more comfortable in the field of directing, I still hope to stay by your side and take care of everything for you! ”

Benjamin doesn't seem to have changed his original intention just now, and Zhou Shaoming has no intention of forcibly changing Benjamin's will, although the company is now lacking a high-level director, but it's not in a hurry!

Zhou Shaoming nodded and said, "Respect your wishes!" As for the topic of cultivating Benjamin to become a director, Zhou Shaoming asked: "How was the trip to Hong Kong arranged?" ”

Benjamin said truthfully: "Everything is in order! ”

With the help of Jackie Chan, a Chinese superstar, Zhou Shaoming, who came to Hong Kong, successfully met Mr. Wei Jiahui!

At the beginning, Wei Jiahui thought that Jackie Chan was joking with himself, but when he saw Zhou Shaoming!

Wei Jiahui was stunned, the world-renowned director, the gold medal director in Hollywood, actually came to Hong Kong to find it in person, which really shocked Wei Jiahui's heart! However, the experienced Wei Jiahui quickly recovered his expression, and after shaking hands with Zhou Shaoming, he asked Zhou Shaoming to do it!

"I don't know if Director Smith Zhou came to Hong Kong to find me this time, do you have any advice?" As Wei Jiahui, of course, he would not think that Zhou Shaoming crossed the ocean from the United States this time and came to Hong Kong to find himself just to have a meal!

Zhou Shaoming said straight to the point: "I don't dare to advise, I need your help with something!" ”

Wei Jiahui hesitated for a moment, and after looking at Jackie Chan's affirmative demeanor, he couldn't help but wonder: "What can I help you?" Wei Jiahui doesn't understand that a Hollywood gold medal director has any reason to fly all the way to find his help!

Zhou Shaoming said solemnly: "I hope you can become the screenwriter of my next movie!" "For Zhou Shaoming's newly prepared movie, there is a lack of screenwriters like Wei Jiahui, which is also the reason why Zhou Shaoming came all the way to Hong Kong!

Wei Jiahui's eyes lit up, and he felt a little crying and laughing, and the puzzle in his heart made Wei Jiahui ask again: "I seem to have no shortage of such screenwriters in the North American market, plus your supernova entertainment film and television are rich in money, and there should be a lot of talent in the screenwriting department, why bother looking for me?" ”

Zhou Shaoming was stunned, looking at Wei Jiahui's expression, he was going to break the casserole and ask to the end, Zhou Shaoming hesitated for a moment, and said: "My newly prepared movie is based on the Hong Kong film police, and my idea is that the protagonist can use his own eyes to see under objects like ghosts, so as to continue to solve cases and become a detective!" For such a theme, I hope that it will be written by our Chinese screenwriters, so that it will appear real! ”

After Wei Jiahui heard Zhou Shaoming's words, he finally understood why Zhou Shaoming came all the way to Hong Kong to find himself and invite him to his new movie!

"Hmph, it's in the way of Hong Kong movies again! Smith Chow, I'm not going to help you. After Wei Jiahui listened, his expression was slightly angry!

Wei Jiahui's sudden change of face surprised both Zhou Shaoming and Jackie Chan!

Zhou Shaoming asked in surprise: "WHY?" ”

Wei Jiahui took a deep breath and said lightly: "If I remember correctly, you filmed a "Fuse", which was also done step by step, with Hong Kong police and bandits as the back, and successfully moved to the North American market, and even the global market, and became an instant hit, I just don't understand why our Hong Kong directors can't do it, but you, a Hollywood director, can do it!" I'm not going to help you with a director like that. ”

Zhou Shaoming heard Wei Jiahui, who directly refused, and said lightly: "As a gold medal producer, you should know such a simple truth, jealousy will only hinder your growth, why are you so persistent!" Zhou Shaoming never thought that Wei Jiahui's reason for rejecting him was just that he was dissatisfied with the fire of moving the Hong Kong police and bandit theme to the North American market, and he was unwilling to cooperate with him!
