Chapter 226 Co-production (Part II)

Francisco's purpose of coming has been achieved, although there is an additional condition for winning the film adaptation rights, but he is still very much looking forward to Wen Yi's script. As for whether he will use his script in the end, we will have to wait for the script to come out.

After all, Wen Yi promised that if he was not satisfied with the script, he could not use it. It can be said that this initiative is in his hands, so he is still very satisfied with the result this time, even if the conversation is very short, it is only a verbal promise, and it is only an intention.

Jason came this time mainly to connect Francisco, and by the way, he was looking for someone from Sun Men, and he was still looking forward to the performance at tomorrow's exchange competition.

Acting kung fu, although it is not acting, but after all, it is all about dealing with the audience and media reporters, and he will not have stage fright. But after all, this is the first time he has performed as a martial artist rather than an actor, and he is still a little nervous.

He knows that performing kung fu is not a reshoot after NG, and if there is a mistake, it will be a bit embarrassing. Therefore, I took the opportunity to ask Sun Jiantian and others about the matters to be paid attention to.

Obviously, he is quite concerned about this matter.

Both Francisco and Jason seemed to deliberately avoid Wen Yi and Franck's conversation, and got up to leave. After all, knowing some things is not necessarily a good thing.

"Mr. Franck also came to ask me to make a film?" Wen Yi looked at Frank and smiled, and said.

"Of course!" Frank replied dryly.

"Hehe, you should have heard that I turned down a lot of Hollywood studios before!" Wen Yi said with a smile.

"Of course I do. The first to refuse was director Lucas. And the reason for refusal seems to be that he does not play a Japanese boxer! Frank said with a smile. And there are quite a few Hollywood studios that you have rejected lately. I know a little bit about that. ”

"Since you know, you are not afraid that I will refuse and make you lose face." Wen Yi said.

"I'm more sincere than they are. Those people are just borrowing your current fame to get a vote. Whether it's the script or the characters, it is estimated that they have not aroused your interest. That's probably why you rejected them. "I've said that before. I came with sincerity. ”

Frank conducted a detailed investigation and analysis of Wenyi before he came, and he has great confidence in Wenyi's development potential. He also believes he can convince the company's top management.

Shimen Pictures is not one of Hollywood's major film companies, but his development has been extremely rapid, and there has been a tendency to catch up with those major film companies over the years.

"Oh, is it? I'd love to know, what is your sincerity? Wen Yi said with a smile.

"It's not so much that I'm here to make a film with you, it's better to say that I'm here to seek cooperation with you!" Frank said with a smile.

"Cooperation?" Wen Yi looked at Frank with some surprise.

Cooperation, invitation to films, that means something completely different.

"Yes cooperation! Or co-produce one, or even multiple films! Frank naturally saw the surprise in Wen Yi's eyes. He is still very satisfied with Wen Yi's performance.

"Can you tell us a little bit?" Wen Yi said. He clearly has a huge company for co-productions. Whether it's him. Or Jiayi needs a channel to enter Hollywood. And co-producing a film with a Hollywood studio is undoubtedly a good choice.

"I know that a company invited you to play a male number two before, even if it is a male number one, it probably didn't arouse your interest. However, we cooperate, and the male lead of the film is naturally you. The script of the film can also be provided by yourself. Of course, it doesn't matter if we provide it. Even the director, you can be the director. Frank said with a smile.

When Wen Yi heard this, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have a feeling of pie falling from the sky. However, the imagination is relieved. When Bruce Lee was popular all over Southeast Asia, Hollywood didn't take the initiative to come to the door, and finally co-produced a film. The second co-production film, but died because of his untimely death.

His popularity today may not be as good as Bruce Lee back then, but I believe it is only a matter of time. Frank clearly saw this. Moreover, he knew that Shimen Pictures also needed an opportunity, an opportunity for greater development. Although he is developing fast, he is now stuck in a bottleneck.

And they obviously want to use themselves to open up the Asian market, so as to break the bottleneck of development.

"Is the film wholly owned by the teacher, or is it a joint venture with my Jiayi company? What about the release? Wen Yi suddenly spoke. He is obviously not satisfied with writing, directing and acting by himself. He wants to take advantage of this almost, not only to break into Hollywood, but also to let Jiayi Company take the opportunity to make a breakthrough in the distribution of North America and other places.

"Huh! There is naturally no problem with co-production, and cooperation can also be achieved in distribution. As for how the final benefits will be distributed, we can talk about it slowly! I believe that as long as we all have sincerity, the cooperation will be very pleasant. Frank smiled and said.

"I believe it too!" Wen Yi smiled and said, "Then it's decided." The script was written by me, filmed in a joint venture, and I was the director myself! However, I wonder what kind of film Mr. Frank wants to work with? ”

"Huh? Hehe. Frank was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's better to be a kung fu movie, or an action movie!" ”

Frank only remembered at this time that although the guy in front of him was very capable of fighting, his kung fu was well known to the world. But for movies, he is not just good at kung fu movies. However, as far as the market is concerned, it is obvious that Wen Yi will shoot kung fu films at this time, and the effect will be better.

"That's fine! Let's make a kung fu movie first. If you have the chance, shoot other genres such as action movies! Wen Yi smiled and said, "After the script comes out, we will talk about the details of the cooperation!" ”

"That's good! I'm looking forward to your script! Frank said with a smile.

Seeing Frank away, Wen Yi fell into deep thought. The adaptation of the two scripts, "Infernal Affairs", is not very difficult for Wen Yi at all. After all, I still have a deep impression of that film in my mind.

Although I don't remember all of them clearly, I still remember the wonderful or the best parts. After all, it's just a script, and the details of the film need the director to pay attention to play, not the screenwriter.

He Wenyi is not an idiot, according to most of the plot, if he can't perfect that script, then what kind of movie script will he write. What's more, in this regard, he is not inexperienced. After all, the scripts he wrote before were not all perfected according to his own ideas based on most of his vague memory. And the result is not necessarily worse than the original.

What really made Wen Yi feel pressure was naturally the film that cooperated with Shimen Pictures. This is himself, and it is also a stepping stone for Jiayi Company to enter Hollywood, not only can it not be messed up, but it also needs to be a hit!

And the kung fu movies that had a great impact in the world in his previous life are undoubtedly Bruce Lee's movies. But although the film is classic, it is obviously a little inappropriate to put it now.

Secondly, I'm afraid it's Thailand's "Boxer" series. It's just that although Wen Yi has seen the film, his impression of it only stays on the fight, and he is very vague about the plot and other aspects, and as for those dialogues, he can't remember a few words.

What's more, in Wen Yi's opinion, although "Boxer" has a lot of influence, it is still not enough! After all, he is limited by geography, and if he wants to open the European and American markets, he must choose a city they are familiar with and unfold the story.

Therefore, in Wen Yi's view, Los Angeles, where Hollywood is located, is the first choice.

When filming kung fu films, it is natural to shoot the essence of Chinese kung fu. Kung Fu, Guoshu......

Wen Yi's mind suddenly flashed a web novel about national art "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" that he had read in his previous life! And that novel is undoubtedly his favorite novel, and he joked at the beginning that if this film starts shooting, he will make a cameo in it if he doesn't want to be paid.

Of course, the premise is that the director wants him!

Filming "Romance of the Dragon and Snake"? I remembered the sentence in it: The martial arts that only kill the enemy and do not perform are national arts! Thinking of the vivid characters in it, Wen Yi really has an urge to shoot it. After all, now he has that condition.

However, he instantly suppressed this impulse. This film will definitely be made, but not now!

Why do you have to copy or borrow from films from previous lives? What about not creating a script yourself?

Thinking of this, Wen Yi suddenly brightened up and made up her mind! (To be continued......)
