It's a comedy that jokes about amnesia, about a group of good friends who throw a bachelorette party for their buddies who are about to get married, only to be so crazy that the three groomsmen wake up the next morning to find that the groom is gone, and to make matters worse, they don't remember what happened last night.

The marriage is imminent, the three grooms must find the groom, and to find the groom, they must retrieve the memories they lost last night, so in the process of finding the memory, a series of ridiculous stories have happened one after another, which is "The Hangover".

There is no doubt that "The Hangover" is a very typical American culture movie, because bachelorette parties are so common in the United States, in fact, there is a little pre-marital fear, can't you party with good friends after getting married? Obviously, this is a catharsis of American-style freedom.

In such an environment, it's not hard to imagine the proliferation of Hollywood movies about bachelorette parties, and while there are many blockbusters and Oscar-nominated and award-winning films such as "A Cup of Life," more of them are bland failures. There is no way, it is definitely a difficult thing to shoot a new idea of a flood subject, just like the gambling films that were all the rage in Hong Kong in the mid-to-late 80s and early 90s are rapidly declining after the mid-90s.

And the reason why Lin Yuquan was attracted is that this is a very crazy bachelorette party, just because of a hangover, it completely changes the lives of these people, such a setting is very exaggerated, very surprising, but also very interesting, in addition. The dialogue inside is also quite interesting while not being conventional.

This script is not bad. You can see it. Screenwriters should have a good creative experience, Jon. Lucas, Lin Yuquan glanced at the screenwriter's signature, this is a name that is very unfamiliar to him, of course, this is not surprising at all, among the tens of thousands of screenwriters in the United States, he has an impression of only a dozen people. And almost all of those people are gold medal screenwriters who are active in Hollywood.

To shoot or not to shoot? Lin Yuquan rhythmically tapped on the table, his eyes were contemplative, speaking of which, although the script of "The Hangover" has some highlights, but on the whole, the story is not too prominent, which is why Chris. Anderson said yes, but not a good reason.

Lin Yuquan didn't know Jon. Whether or not Lucas sent the script to other studios, others would surely consider whether such a film would stand out from the crowd of released films, especially comedy films. Is it worth investing money in this single subject, seriously. Judging from the situation of "The Hangover" alone, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to fight a bloody way.

But just give up? Lin Yuquan couldn't help but shake his head, although he had never made a comedy movie himself, he actually liked this kind of movie very much, and the irritable and boring city life also needed such a movie to make people relax physically and mentally.

Speaking of which, since the acquisition of Summit Entertainment, the company has not launched a comedy work on its own, and the only comedy film "Hostess" released was bought back from the Sundance Film Festival, which is undoubtedly very different from the current situation of domestic dawning films.

In recent years, Shuguang Films has successfully launched a series of outstanding comedies, including "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Racing", and "Love Call Transfer", which are deeply loved by fans and audiences.

While this has to do with the reality of both companies, at least for now, he has a strong desire to make Hollywood comedy films.

Eyes fell on the script of "The Hangover" on the computer screen again, it is true that there are many problems with "The Hangover", but the flaws are not concealed, this one is actually worth filming, but it must not be filmed according to the script as it is, the film must be made crazier and more interesting, so as to capture the hearts of young audiences.

How? The main line of retrieving amnesia must not change, but the details must be adjusted, there are too many bachelorette parties, if it is just a simple bachelorette party, it will be too boring, although Jon. Lucas's bachelorette party is crazy enough, but it's not enough, and Lin Yuquan hopes to create an even crazier party to be presented on the big screen.

Lin Yuquan couldn't help but think of the night when he went to the Shilla Hotel and Casino on Jeju Island, it was obviously very interesting to go to the casino after getting drunk, and there happened to be such a place in the United States, where there were superstar shows and exciting boxing championship matches, dazzling casinos, luxury top hotels, and marriage registries that never closed, which is Las Vegas - the city that never sleeps in the desolate desert.

If the bachelorette party takes place in Las Vegas, then there will be a lot of unexpected things happening, think of the luxurious hotel room, the precious wine, the magnificent casino, in the casino from the drunken luck of winning to the big ups and downs of all losing, in addition to going to the top floor of the casino to jump off the building, meeting the beauty of the night game, lightning registration of marriage such a bachelorette party must be the madness that countless viewers have never seen before, in addition to the details of the story, the lines also need to be further modified.

The more Lin Yuquan thought about it, the more excited he felt, turned his head to look at Yifei, and said excitedly: "Yifei, what do you think of making such a movie?" At that moment, he told Liu Yifei his idea.

"Oh, it's interesting, Brother Yuquan, are you going to shoot it yourself?" Liu Yifei asked curiously after admiring.

"I'll shoot, oh, no." Lin Yuquan immediately shook his head, although he likes comedy movies and hopes that Summit Entertainment can make a comedy movie as soon as possible, but he himself has no desire to direct it himself. Hopefully, and his laughter is very low, maybe in the end he will make a comedy movie that only he thinks is funny, and that will be bad.

To be honest, Lin Yuquan doesn't think that his ability to grasp the joke is very good, Ning Hao and Xiao Yang are much better than him in this regard, but they can be producers, just like Steven. Spielberg, why did he know that "Transformers" would be a box office explosion, but did not choose to direct it himself, but handed over the director's microphone to the bankrupt Michael of DreamWorks. What about shellfish! In fact, the reason is very simple, because he knows what he is good at, in such a movie that needs explosions, action, and big scenes. Apparently Exploding Beinen did a better job than he did.

The same thing. Toss with other yourself. It's best to find a great director who is good at shooting this kind of subject, maybe when he wants to make a comedy movie and wants to go crazy one day!

"I don't want to ruin a work that could have been made into a masterpiece, I'll find another director to make it." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"That's good, but I believe that if you come to shoot Brother Yuquan, it will definitely look good." Liu Yifei said with a sweet smile.

"It seems that I didn't plan to shoot it myself was right, what if I let Yifei disappoint you? That's a heinous crime. Lin Yuquan smiled.

"No, Brother Yuquan, you can definitely shoot it." Liu Yifei smiled sweetly.

chatted with Yifei for a few words. Lin Yuquan continued to read the script, and soon he was attracted by another script, which is a sci-fi disaster movie about an alien attack on the earth, which seems very old-fashioned, yes, in Hollywood, there are countless movies about the earth being attacked by aliens, "Independence Day", "War of the Worlds", "Omen", "The Fifth Element", "Men in Black", "Starship", and of course many more less well-known movies.

Among them, "Independence Day" won 306 million North American box office and 817 million global box office. Won the 1996 North American and global box office double crown, among the films represented by it. It has almost formed a routine, the earth is attacked by aliens without warning, and then the earthlings are vulnerable in the face of aliens' advanced technology, and then scientists find the weaknesses of aliens, and finally the protagonists save the earth at the last moment.

However, "Havoc" is different, although it is also an alien attack, and the earthlings are defeated, but it has a new design in the way of alien attack and how humans manage to defeat aliens. Not only that, under the arrangement of the screenwriter, "Shocking Catastrophe" did not choose a satisfying happy ending, but after defeating the aliens with difficulty, what was left was a devastated Earth, and even worse was that in another place in space, a larger alien fleet began to march towards the Earth, and then the film came to an abrupt end, so the ending is undoubtedly dumbfounded.

There is no doubt that this is an innovative science fiction movie, but Lin Yuquan also understands why other people at Summit Entertainment think that this movie is not good enough, the reason is very simple, there are serious problems with the logic behind the alien attack methods designed by it, and the film's eyes are almost entirely focused on an infantry company that went out on a mission but was suddenly attacked, because the earth's communication was destroyed by aliens, the infantry company trapped in a small town could only choose to fight with the aliens alone, and therefore, Except for the beginning and end of the film, there will not be much of a scene.

Should I shoot it? Although "Shocking Catastrophe" is not as strongly attractive to him as "The Hangover" in comparison, Lin Yuquan still feels that such a movie should be made.

Since the advent of alien movies, movies about the end of the world and alien invasions have always had a huge audience, both in the United States and around the world, and although this may have become a cliché for audiences, it is undeniable that such movies still have an unfading appeal. And this kind of film is only the most enjoyable when you watch it in the theater.

Because of this, Hollywood filmmakers go to great lengths every year to come up with all kinds of tricks to scare audiences with stronger and stronger nerves.

For filming such a movie about aliens invading the earth, the most difficult thing is to make new ideas, in terms of special effects and audio, there are many blockbusters such as "Independence Day" and "War of the Worlds" as benchmarks, and in terms of novelty and characteristics, "The Clover's Files" and "Tianzhao" are also doing well, in addition, there are all kinds of other films of this kind in an endless stream, and it is not easy to fight a bloody way out of them.

"Catastrophe" has been innovative in many ways, although there are still many shortcomings, the lack of grandeur is a big problem, although this means that the box office of the film can not reach the explosive effect of "Independence Day", but its investment is not much?

What's more, no big scene doesn't mean that it can't be filmed very exciting, in Lin Yuquan's view, it can still be shot with heart, maybe it is more difficult for the film to achieve high profits, but as long as you don't destroy it, in the case of the investment is not too high, even if you lose money, it will not be too much.

In that case, what is there to hesitate about? In fact, the six major Hollywood film companies produce more than ten or twenty movies every year, of which only a few can make money after all, and most of the films are ready to lose money.

And these two are exactly what Summit Entertainment needs, Lin Yuquan hates making bad movies, he has always been strict with the quality of the film, and he has no reason to refuse to shoot "Shocking Catastrophe" when he is sure that he can make a good work and the risk can be fully accepted.

Chris. Anderson sent him a total of four scripts, and after reading all the scripts, Lin Yuquan immediately emailed Chris. Anderson, in the email, expressed his opinion on "The Hangover" and "Catastrophe", the opinion is actually very simple, agreeing to shoot two films, and ask the other party to immediately invite or select a co-director, and then start preparations including script revision and actor casting.

For the director candidates, Lin Yuquan also gave priority to the candidates to be invited, and "The Hangover" invited Judd. Apatow, "The Night of Taladega", "The Forty-Year-Old Place. Male", "New Money Grabbing Couple", "One Night Big Belly", "Super Bad", "Pineapple Express", a series of movies have been a great success, so that Judd, who is also a director, screenwriter and producer. Apatu has become the king of comedy today, since he is shooting comedy movies, it is impossible for Lin Yuquan to ignore each other, and it is of course best to cooperate.

And "Shocking Catastrophe", well, for the director of this movie, Lin Yuquan has no exact candidate, if it is a big-budget sci-fi disaster movie with an investment of hundreds of millions, maybe Michael. Bey is a good candidate, but it is clear that the investment in "Havoc" will not be very high, and there is no way but to let Chris. Anderson and Kevin. Garnett: They're worried.

As for investment, wait until the director is determined, revise the script, and then make a decision according to the director's needs, which is also Lin Yuquan's habit, first determine the investment and then prepare for the shooting, which will inevitably limit the play of the director, screenwriter and others, he has always advocated letting the main creative staff fully display their abilities.

PS: Bow and thank you for the monthly ticket support of the three friends of Wutong Ye S Suiyuan, jian1974, and the reward of the four friends of the butterfly love flower, antenna table, thousand cups of innocence, and chasing the east, your support is too powerful, ps: The stall is too open, and it is a big problem to just write the film and television dramas that the two companies want to make, according to the current progress, this book is estimated to be written for a long, long time! "The Hangover" is now directly copied from many novels, but I read a lot of director interviews on the Internet, and many of the movies and scripts released have been adjusted by him, and choosing to shoot in Las Vegas is one of them, and "Shocking Catastrophe" is regarded as an original work, (I won't say that I have watched some content of "Skyrim"), no way, it's not rebirth, it's impossible to write all the movies we know, which is also the most headache.
