Chapter 397 System Appears - "V Word Vendetta"!

Zhou Shaoming's film achievements have shown again and again that he has done it, and he has repeatedly achieved achievements in the world's top film awards such as the Oscars.

Zhou Shaoming, who is under such an aura, gradually forgot his identity in the hearts of Chinese, it turns out that he is Chinese? Is this true?

Can you believe it? No? How could it be, how could he be Chinese?

The fantastic feeling makes people feel unreal!

Why haven't I heard of any actor who mixes well in Hollywood? Even after Chinese superstars such as Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, Jet Li and so on, they are only second- and third-tier Hollywood actors, let alone directors in China.

How could such a thing happen?

However, when Zhou Shaoming and the crew of "Fuse" frequently appeared among major cities in China, people realized that no, it turned out that the rumored famous Hollywood director Zhou Shaoming turned out to be a Chinese.

When everyone suddenly came to their senses, it was boiling.

"When Zhou Shaoming came with a shocking action movie "Fuse", even we forgot, perhaps, in our hearts, we all know that this Hollywood director is Chinese, but we ignore that most of us in China don't know.

This is where we ignore, we can only sigh that Supernova Entertainment Company is too active this time, and Mr. Zhou Shaoming always breaks out unbelievable things, so that we put all our energy on him, but we still can't fully report all the things about him at once. "Phoenix Entertainment News

"Chinese director Zhou Shaoming may seem a little awkward, but as a Chinese, Mr. Smith Zhou has indeed gained a foothold in Hollywood, and his strong return at this moment has brought us a police and bandit action feast. What a wonderful, exciting time.

Some foreign blockbusters. After making enough money for our Chinese audience. It began to disappear, and then when it was necessary to come back to attract gold, it would appear in front of people again.

But is our Zhou Shaoming the same? No, he is clearly on his own. Fueling the flames of our Chinese films and wanting to change our sluggish state, we seem to see that a new era of Chinese films is coming!

Such a big investment, such a big means. Zhou Shaoming - the person who changed the Chinese film market! ”

Zhou Shaoming smoked a cigar in his mouth and couldn't help but think about the reason why "The Incredible Hulk" became popular in the Chinese film market.

"Popcorn-style theaters should be the favored place for audiences to watch movies."

It has been more than a month since the filming of "Fuse" was completed, the post-production has been completed, and the publicity is also in full swing.

As for the next movie, Zhou Shaoming has never thought about it.

The system has not appeared for a long time, and even the last movie was arranged by Zhou Shaoming himself.

And this time, when he was beaten by three thieves, the system didn't appear.

Zhou Shaoming once thought that the system had disappeared!

In the past, Zhou Shaoming was always afraid that the director system would suddenly appear and give himself a task. And then he was brought back to life.

But now Zhou Shaoming misses the director system, because there is a director system. Many things can be solved very easily, and most importantly, the director system will give himself the most reasonable advice - what to shoot in the next movie.

This is like a prophet who guides people forward, and can give Zhou Shaoming a guiding light.

It's not that Zhou Shaoming can't make movies without leaving the director system, Zhou Shaoming has no shortage of classic movies in his brain, the problem is that there are many of these classics, and it is also a tangled thing, because Zhou Shaoming doesn't know which one to shoot, the director system gives the task, that's a little better, at least there is a goal to strive for.

Just when Zhou Shaoming was thinking like this, a female voice suddenly came out of his mind, compared to the previous electronic synthesis female voice, this voice seemed to be softer, just like a real woman's voice.

Although the voice has changed, the tone has not changed, Zhou Shaoming knew as soon as he heard it that this must be the director system.

I only heard the female voice say lazily: "Hey, dear host, it's been a long time, now you are mixing well, give you a verbal praise." ”

A drop of cold sweat dripped down Zhou Shaoming's forehead, and he was busy for a long time, and he just got a verbal praise. It's too

But it's good that the director system can't think about strange things every day to make things difficult for him, what more do you want to ask for?

After figuring it out, Zhou Shaoming responded to the director system with a smile in his mind: "Hehe, it's been a long time, I miss you." ”

Hearing Zhou Shaoming's straightforward confession, the director system also smiled a little shyly, and then said: "The value of the existence of the director system is to continuously improve the director's ability, if it loses its value, then the director system is useless, the previous movie did not belong to the task arranged by the system, but I see everything, you are quite so-so." ”

"Oh? So-so, this is an exaggeration, it's not easy to be praised by you! Then again, I haven't seen you come out all this time. And as soon as it came out, it seemed that the state had changed. Zhou Shaoming asked one thing he wanted to know the most.

The director system listened to Zhou Shaoming's words, and said with a smile: "Because the director system is constantly evolving with the progress of the director's ability, you are now a big director, so the director system will naturally evolve with it, some time ago, I fell into a deep sleep because of evolution, and when I woke up this time, my AI is infinitely close to human beings, and it can be regarded as an intelligent life." ”

After listening to so many professional terms, Zhou Shaoming only felt that his brain was a little dizzy, and asked curiously: "Then after you evolved, in addition to the change in your voice, what else has changed?" ”

"Yes." The director said in the affirmative. After a pause, You continued: "The main change is that the director system has changed from mandatory to spontaneous. ”

"Well, you don't understand. To put it simply. It's because of your level too much. So the system needs to help you grow through high-pressure policies, a lot of tasks are mandatory, and now that you're a successful director, there's no need for that. Future tasks won't be mandatory for you to complete. ”

Zhou Shaoming understood at this time, and finally knew the painstaking work of the director system, and he couldn't help but be a little moved at this time, and he went all the way. is not only relying on the efforts of friends and himself, but also this director system that silently supports him behind the scenes.

Although I don't understand what the director system is, Zhou Shaoming just needs to know that it will help him. Thinking of the scene where he was forced to complete the filming by the director system before, Zhou Shaoming felt funny, he felt that his past experiences could be written into a book.

After this idea popped up, it spread in Zhou Shaoming's mind, and he made up his mind that if he was old in the future, he must write a biography of himself, and the name should not be too complicated, just call it "The Father of Chainsaw".

Just when Zhou Shaoming was thinking so. The voice of the director system suddenly came out of his head, "Okay. Let me see how well you've accomplished your previous mission. ”

Soon, a series of data appeared in Zhou Shaoming's mind, all of which were statistics related to "I Am a Legend", and many Zhou Shaoming already knew about it, so he didn't take it to heart.

"Okay, congratulations, host, you have completed this mission perfectly, the points have been credited to your account, you can exchange some things, so, next, do you need to take the next task?" After finishing the statistics, the voice of the director system came slowly.

Does this still need to be thought about? Zhou Shaoming immediately smiled and said, "Pick it up!" ”

"Okay, please choose the access method, whether it is random or the host itself takes the initiative to designate."

Zhou Shaoming was stunned, but he didn't designate the movie at all before, and it is estimated that this is also a change in the system.

For a while, Zhou Shaoming didn't know what kind of movie to make, so this function should be used later, thinking about it, Zhou Shaoming said with a smile: "Take it randomly, I'm not used to specifying it myself." ”

"OK, wait a minute." With the disappearance of the female voice of the director system, a colorful light appeared in Zhou Shaoming's mind, and after a while, a series of data poured into Zhou Shaoming's mind.

"Task Generation."

Movie title: "Vendetta Squad"

Lloyd's comic book Vendetta. Set in the future of London, a dystopian society, the depiction of Guy Dy.

Ray plays Chief Inspector Finch, John. Hurt plays Chancellor Chartreux.

Requirements: The global box office exceeded 600 million

Reward: 500 points

The director system not only gave specific task requirements, but also gave the data of "V Venddetta" in his previous life, which saved Zhou Shaoming a lot of effort.

For "V-Word Vendetta", Zhou Shaoming still knows a little bit, this movie is about the future of Britain, when the world is in turmoil, the United States has disintegrated, and Britain is led by the dictator Adam. Controlled by Sutler, the dictatorship led by him restricted freedom of speech, controlled public opinion, created panic, instituted curfews, the secret police listened to the people like the air, and any immigrant, Muslim, homosexual, or plagued person would be sent to a concentration camp to die, and the people would dare to be angry and insentuated under Sutler's dictatorship.

The protagonist V is a mysterious eccentric, well-planned and agile, who seeks to overthrow the authoritarian government and inspire the people to rebel.

Although it is a bit sci-fi, in fact, to a greater extent, this movie is actually an action movie. From beginning to end, the true face of V is unknown to anyone.

For this film, the challenge is very difficult, and this is not a film that can be shot easily.

And this movie has a high ideological realm, that is, the so-called movie has a lot of connotations.

In the past, this movie was very famous in the last time and space, and it was also well received. is even a must-have movie for many young people to pretend.

But there's no denying it. There are a lot of unique things about this movie.

If the highlight of "Fuse" lies in the scenes and fights. Then "V Vendendtle" focuses on the ideological connotation.

600 million box office!

If it is to make other movies, Zhou Shaoming is really confident, after all, several previous movies have exceeded this number, but if you shoot "V Venddetta". He really can't guarantee it, after all, this is not a mainstream movie, and it is not suitable for watching popcorn in the cinema.

Some difficulty! This is Zhou Shaoming's feeling, but he will not back down!

That's when it happened. The phone rang, but Zhou Shaoming's ears suddenly heard Jon's voice.

"Boss? Boss? ”

"What's wrong? Can I help you? ”

Jon said, "It's nothing, just ask how your propaganda is in China!" ”

"It's good, it's basically smooth! By the way, I seem to have an idea for the next film! ”

"The next movie?" Far away on the other side of the ocean, Jon almost fainted!

"That's right, it's the next movie!" Zhou Shaoming said affirmatively.

After hearing what Zhou Shaoming said clearly, Jon was excited: "Boss, you are really a genius, I don't know what language to use to praise you." Before the fuse was released, you already had an idea for the next movie. ”

"Dear Zhou. If you keep up the pace of releasing movies, then those movies will still be as big sellers as Spartan and I Am Legend. Oh my God, you're a humanoid money printer! Jon said exaggeratedly.

"I like that title." In this way, unconsciously, Zhou Shaoming had another nickname - humanoid money printing machine.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Shaoming began to seriously think about "V-word vendetta".

Actually, according to the current situation, it is not a very rational thing to release "V Vendtle".

In the previous life, "V Vendtta" was released in 2006, although the box office results were very good in the end, but at the beginning, "V Vendtta" was actually snubbed by the audience.

In the spring of 2006, "V Vendtta" was officially released, which was well received but not popular.

Germany won World War II, Britain became a totalitarian state, free speech was wiped out under press control, and democracy was blocked during the White Terror. In such a terrifying virtual future, a lone hero, codenamed "V", secretly engages in a revolution that subverts centralized power. Eventually, V blew up the Houses of Parliament, the Palace of Westminster, and the Old Bailey Court, successfully demonstrating to the insensitive ruler.

In the past, the above plot was bound to be interpreted as a heroic biography that defied violence and led the people on the road to freedom and liberation, which has an incomparable lethality to the audience group (especially the American people) who worship heroism madly, and can be described as an important guarantee for box office revenue.

However, after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, everything changed -- the story of "V Vendtle" has become the terrible logic of "terrorists should destroy what they should and justify rebellion" in the minds of many Americans.

So, from the perspective of the audience's emotions, the heroism of the "Masked Flying Knife Gate" in the film against the government and the martial arts of the slaughter of the military and police have made many fans complain.

In 2006, 911 was almost over, but its aftermath is still the same, so what about 2004? The 911 incident has just passed, and how much backlash will the audience have? Thinking of this, even Zhou Shaoming, who has always been confident, was a little worried.

This is one of the reasons why "V Vendtle" is unpopular, and the other is the problem of the film lineup.

In the previous life, despite the fact that: gold medal production + star starring + best-selling comic book adaptation + gimmick of the heroine's hair cutting + Euan, the son of British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Blair's friendship headlines...... The hype is endless, and it actively cooperates with the issuance.

But when you think about it, there is no shocking name in the cast and crew of "V for Vendetta".

First of all, the Wachowski brothers are executive producers and screenwriters.

It sounds like "Good Night, Good Luck" screenwriter George. Clooney: "Pretty much, after all, the Worth fans still want them to be directors - it's James who appears in that column. Mike Tiger is a seemingly newcomer's name.

In fact, Mike Tiger is Wolker's old partner, but because he has been shrouded in Wolge's aura for a long time, how many discerning people will pay attention to Mike Tiger's wrist?

Secondly, there is the problem of the two leading actors, who are Natalie. Portman & Hugo. Vivian.

The former has starred in the "Star Wars Prequel" trilogy's Black Knight's hair-tied wife Padmae and Luke Skywalker's mother, and can be called the only important female character in the prequel trilogy (of course, Anakin's mother also plays a pivotal role).

It's a pity that trying to play a person has nothing to do with the box office, and Portman, who is both inside and outside, is not the reason for the popularity of "Star Station Prequel". As for other highly artistic films (such as "Stealing Hearts", etc.), they can't reflect Natalie. Portman's commercial value, this film can be said to be the first work to test its box office appeal.

The latter, with Russell. Crow, Hugh. Jackman, Eric. Banner, Heath. Ledger and others are similar, also imported from Australia.

The difference, however, is that Hugo. Vivian is more like the 1996 Oscar winner Jeffrey. Rush is a pure acting school. So, despite the fact that Weaving wore sunglasses in the "Hacker Empire" trilogy and elven ears in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, the contribution to the revenue was still very meager.

Hence the bizarre, "bald V.S. masked", "two generations of acting P.K." , it may not be so helpful to "V for Vendendtta" in terms of distribution.

However, although worried, Zhou Shaoming still firmly believes that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. The work of filming the film still has to be completed, and the big deal is to postpone the release period a little.

And the box office results of "V-Word Vendetta" in the early stage are still quite objective, if it were not for the fact that it was released in the off-season of the movie in spring, Zhou Shaoming believes that if it is good for his time control, if "V-Word Vendetta" is placed in the summer file, it will definitely be a big hit.
