DreamWorks, President's Office.

"What? Are you going to make a movie? ”

After Morris got Alex's call, he was so excited that he almost couldn't hold the microphone in his hand, and he hurriedly asked: "What type of movie?" How much to invest? Is there a script? ”

"I'm going to make a gunfight action movie! The investment is about 10 million or 20 million, and the specific amount has to be calculated. The script is ready, you can just send someone to get it later. ”

From the time Alex decided to shoot "Red Dawn" to the time he called DreamWorks, there was only about half a day in between, and he wrote the script through Guò Mental Space, and then typed it out "crackling" on a typewriter.

"Okay, I'll send someone over now!"

When Morris put the microphone down, he was thrilled that Alex hadn't written a song or made a movie for a long time. In fact, the original DreamWorks still relied on Alex's works to grow up, and if it weren't for the production of some excellent film works, DreamWorks would have fallen into a long period of low ebb like MGM and other film companies.

Relying only on "The Sound of Music" and "The Ape Man Series", Alex has a place in Hollywood, and even has the strength to hit the Oscar for Best Director.

It's a pity that Alex was too young when he shot those movies, so he lost several opportunities. When Alex fell silent and didn't make a movie, people often talked about it, and many people thought that it was because of the injustice of the Oscars that the talented teenager Alex didn't get the credit he deserved.

"Because of that. Alex will be disappointed in Hollywood and stop filming! Some people talk about it in the newspapers.

Many fans expect Alex to continue making films, and every year DreamWorks receives many such letters, all of which ask Alex about his plans to make films, or ask Alex to make movies, etc.

Morris also talked to Alex about these things, and whenever this happens, Alex always says, "If you have a chance, you have a chance." ”

Now it's different, Alex actually took the initiative to call him and tell him that he wanted to make a movie! And as soon as it is shot, it is a big production zuò. Tens of millions of dollars are not without films now. Since the appearance of "Ben Hur", major Hollywood film companies have also prepared several blockbusters, but these films are still difficult to meet the demand compared to the huge film market.

The most important thing is that this is a film directed and shot by Alex himself. Many Carpenter sibling fans and movie fans have been waiting for a long time. Hopefully see Alex return to the entertainment industry. Although he also did not claim to have left. It's just that compared to other more professional singers and movie stars, Alex is too inactive.

Sure enough, when DreamWorks announced Alix's plans for a new film. Immediately, there was a strong reaction from major media, and the front page of the newspaper was urgently changed to publish Alex-related news. As soon as the TV news aired, DreamWorks' customer service phone was instantly flooded, and they all came in to ask Alex questions about the movie.

The New York Times newspaper wrote on the front page: "Alex is back as the king, and he has invested heavily in the filming of "Red Dawn"! ”

The Los Angeles Times newspaper said: "Alex has been silent for several years, and suddenly he is back in public. We'll see what kind of visual spectacle he will bring to the world this time! ”

The Christian Science Monitor, published by Christian Science Press and which has never published gossip news, also followed up on the news in its own newspaper, which was not purely religious in nature, but a general newspaper for the "secular."

It generally does not publish reports on violence, pornography and other obscenities and thefts, and is good at emphasizing the reporting of domestic and international important incidents, and is known in the press circles for its unique commentary and analysis, and is highly regarded by the intellectual circles. The website is in line with newspapers and periodicals, and the pages are rigorous.

The Christian Science Monitor said in the day's paper: "Thank God for giving us Alex, the world would be so much less fun without such genius!" Believe in God, his old man, and he is also quite looking forward to this film in heaven. ”

Not only the American media is enthusiastically reporting, but even European countries such as the United Kingdom, France, and Germany have also reported on it, and even the Soviet Union has paid some attention.

It can be seen from the reactions of the news media in various countries that Alex's popularity accumulated in recent years is very high, and it has reached an unparalleled Cheng dù.

Until this time, DreamWorks had not even found the actors, and the filming location had not even been decided. Because this "Red Dawn" is not so easy to shoot, it uses a lot of White House scenes in the film, and the government cannot lend the White House just to shoot this movie.

"Problems with the location?"

Alex was a little surprised when he was asked this question, he had never considered how difficult it was to solve. However, he quickly realized that in this era without computer technology, if you want to use special scenes, there is no way to solve it without building a set in the studio.

This is also the reason why many Hollywood movies in the early days looked like stage plays, because those movies were indeed stage plays, and many of the exterior and interior shots were actually shot in a studio with a special background. Even the sun, moon, and clouds in the sky may be a canvas, and that kind of movie is a stage play at all.

It's just that Alex's movie wants to use that kind of stage set, and there is no way to solve it. When such a film is filmed, it will definitely not meet the requirements of the script.

The troubles of those employees of DreamWorks are here, and they really can't build a scene soundstage that is exactly like the real White House and the U.S. Capitol.

"Of course, we can't shoot all in the studio, we have to shoot in real life." Alex replied.

"However, the government will never let us shoot a movie in the White House, let alone the script that will end up in the White House, and that kind of thing will not be realized." The head of DreamWorks said to him.

"Don't worry, I've thought about it a long time ago. Since we can't use the government's White House, let's build a White House ourselves! Alex said as a matter of course: "I didn't plan to borrow a White House to shoot, you can go and copy the real White House for me now, by the way, there is Capitol Daxia, and the street community outside the White House, all of them must be built." ”

The person in charge of DreamWorks was dumbfounded, but he had already understood Alex's thoughts, so he stammered, "Copy them all?" That's a lot of money! ”

Alex smiled slightly: "Money is not a problem, the problem is time!" You have to hurry up and get the scene right for me, this film is about to start shooting. ”

With Alex's consent, the head of DreamWorks leaves. At this moment, Alex added: "Those scenes are not one-off, I still want to shoot a few scenes in it." ”

"Okay, I see."

Of course, the person in charge of DreamWorks understands that Alex means the same as the "Ape City", which is to be made into a usable city building according to the actual proportions, and it may even be used for a long time, and maybe it will eventually become a tourist attraction.

This concept is a bit similar to the film and television city of later generations, but Alex needs to build whatever scenes are needed, instead of building various styles and scenes of various eras in advance, which is too rigid and has no flexibility.

DreamWorks' approach is a new breakthrough in the history of Hollywood films. Before this, places such as Ape City have become special places that combine tourism and film and television. Many film companies and television stations have rented from DreamWorks to shoot similar movies and TV shows.

There are also a few big film companies that follow suit, but they are not as bold as Alex, spending a lot of money just to make the movie scenes look more realistic, and they are very lacking in details, and in order to save money, many scenes cannot withstand the wind and rain, and after a few months and a half they will be dilapidated.

Over there, special scenes such as the White House and the Capitol have not yet been built, and Alex has already begun to select actors and prepare to enter the filming stage. He had already thought about the details of that movie very clearly, and listed all the props and scenes that needed to be used, and handed them over to the DreamWorks special effects team and props team to prepare.

Only the actor and the number one villain of the film have not yet been determined, because his film is fundamentally different from the later "Red Dawn", at most it is similar to the story framework of "The Fall of the White House". If someone returns to this era in later generations and sees this "Red Dawn", they will definitely think that this is a new film, not a completely copycat film.

At least the actor in the film needs to shoot a lot of kung fu action, which is very different from "The Fall of the White House", but in this way, Alex's casting cannot be carried out.

When it comes to action movies, it is estimated that people in this era are still stuck in the old-fashioned movies of "you punch me and I punch", and they have no concept of what kung fu is.

After thinking about it carefully, Alex finally decided: "The actor will play it by himself, anyway, it is really a problem to find a white man who can do kung fu in this era." ”

After the actor solves it, the villain is another problem, but Alex has already considered this problem, and he wants to find a Chinese kung fu master to shoot.

That person is the famous "Bruce Lee"! (To be continued......)
