Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Riddled with trivial matters, I had to leave the crew for a while Fortunately, there are only the last two big scenes left in "Foundation", the third layer of dreams and the fourth layer of dreams have not filmed the rest of the corner shots, and there are Sean and other assistant directors who are enough to be competent

Li Donglai chose to leave temporarily at this moment, which is the most suitable time

He accompanied An Shuzhen Quan Xiaoyao on the flight back to Los Angeles on the plane, An Shuzhen handed over a script, called "Due Date" Li Donglai knew that she usually wouldn't hand the script to him lightly, as long as it was handed to him, it must have been carefully selected, and now there is nothing to do, so he flipped through it and took a look

The author of the script is the famous screenwriter, director, producer Todd? Phillips, who was previously good at comedy, was also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay by the Writers Guild of America and an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for the movie "Borat".

The reason why he came to "Phantom" with the script this time, instead of other large companies, was completely attracted by "The Hangover".

Li Donglai carefully read the whole script, and can basically conclude that this is a Hollywood-style black humor and nonsensical movie, plus the plot takes place on the road, maybe it can be labeled as a "road movie".

Whether in film and television works or literary works, the highway is always an element full of metaphors and symbols, and reflecting life on the road is the main content of road movies, and the events and conflicts encountered by the protagonist along the way are mostly footnotes to his own loneliness and alienation, so the journey itself is the goal

The plot of "Due Date" is quite similar to the 1987 American film "All the Way Crazy": "The slightly neurotic architect Peter's wife is about to give birth five days after his wife's due date, he can catch a plane and fly from Atlanta to his wife in Los Angeles to accompany her to give birth, but it backfires, and at the airport he meets Ethan, an aspiring third-rate actor who claims to be Hollywood's future star, after a mess created by two people before the plane takes off, They were thrown off the plane and put on the no-fly passenger list, and even more fuckingly, Peter's wallet and papers were gone, and in order to catch up with the birth of his own child, Peter had to hitchhike with a somewhat brainless Ethan......

The plot adds many crazy funny factors to the author, which is worthy of recognition

If the "Phantom" is used to shoot, you can also use the name of "The Hangover", maybe the box office will not be too bad, but there are a few loopholes in the plot that cannot achieve the self-justification of "The Hangover"......

In the film, Ethan uses a coffee can to carry the ashes of his recently deceased father, which means death, and Peter's soon-to-be-born child means rebirth, and the tangled and maddening journey between the two symbolizes a cycle of life and death. Phillips uses an almost crazy form of farce to show life and death, even values and worldviews

It can be said that there is also a shadow of "The Hangover" in this movie

Li Donglai wrote his comments carefully at the back of the script, and pointed out the loopholes in the inconsistent reactions of the two policemen, and handed it to An Shuzhen to make up his mind: "The script is still good, but I personally have some suggestions for a few small loopholes, and I can also talk to Phillips if it is convenient, but the current situation, it seems that we don't have the money to spare to shoot this film, we have to wait for next year, does Phillips have any requirements, such as being a director himself?" ”

An Shuzhen said: "This is one of his requirements, he wants to be a director himself, but he can't kill Zack and you to star in this movie"

Li Donglai touched his head, a little embarrassed, Zach is no problem, he is always very idle, but his own words, next year "The Hangover 2" will be busy, but he is not very interested in "Due Date": "There are still a few months to go, and our small company can't form two crews for the time being, and we will wait until "Laying the Foundation" is completed."

An Shuzhen nodded, indicating that she understood, and then remembered something, and suddenly smiled: "Donglai, the TV series "Tae Hee Hye Kyo Ji Hyun" on TV station B that we invested in has already aired the first episode."

"Oh," Lee Dong-rae tilted his head slightly, and for the first moment in his mind, he thought of Kim Tae-hee's beautiful eyebrows, who was as beautiful as water, and said, "How are the ratings?" ”

An Shuzhen said: "It's not bad, the premiere ratings reached 20%, but it can't be compared with "IRIS"

Li Donglai didn't care about this at all, investing in "Tae Hee Hye Kyo Ji Hyun" was just to get through the relationship context, he didn't have too much extravagance at the beginning, and now the ratings are good, which can only prove that he has found gold, but just relying on a Korean drama, even if he sells the copyright to Heng, he won't make much money, and said with a smile: "Do I want to make a phone call to congratulate?" ”

An Shuzhen had an indifferent expression, "It's up to you, haven't you always made up your own mind about this kind of thing, and you actually asked my opinion"

Li Donglai rolled his eyes, provoked Quan Xiaoyao and smiled, and then he began to ponder, after getting off the plane, call Kim Tae-hee first

"Oh yes, how about I poach a few trainees from other companies?" An Shuzhen said suddenly

“hat？” Li Donglai was slightly surprised, since An Shuzhen suddenly asked him, he must have already had a goal, and maybe he had already been in contact with people, and laughed: "Who are you going to poach, which company actually has trainees who can enter your eyes, it must not be simple"

An Shuzhen glared at him and said: "Don't talk about cool words, if it weren't for the high-quality trainees all being rounded by several major companies, I wouldn't want to poach our company has the best quality hardware equipment, software equipment, etc. The United States has a firm foothold, and you can also invite big-name musicians to create a big album at any time, such a good condition, I can't attract high-quality trainees, I doubt my ability."

Li Donglai didn't believe her self-complaining, but laughed and said: "If you want to dig people, you can dig people, and you can find so many reasons for yourself, I really convince you."

An Shuzhen was debunked by Li Donglai, and she didn't continue to joke, and said with a smile: "It's JYP's four trainee girls, and two are your compatriots, speaking of which, they can be regarded as debuting this year, but they are just temporarily stationed on Zhejiang TV in China in the name of trainees, accumulating popularity to prepare for their official debut, but in my opinion, this is simply a waste of time, entirely because JYP's energy is all focused on the two beast boy groups......"

“jyp？！” Li Donglai became interested all of a sudden, and said with a smile: "Sister An, you can snatch the trainee from JYP's hands, I really admire you, tell me, how did you dig it?"

An Shuzhen was robbed of white, and said: "The matter has not been decided yet, I have only made preliminary contact with the other party, and several girls are also very tempted by the conditions we offered, of course, the key is that your popularity has played a certain role, and it is definitely not so easy to get a few trainees who have been cultivated for so long from JYP, we may have to pay some price......"

Li Donglai's eyes lit up and applauded her, and kicked Quan Xiaoyao, who couldn't stop laughing, "What are you smiling at, applauding Sister An is so good, it's not long since she opened the company, and she can actually snatch trainees from JYP's hands, whether it is successful or not, it impresses me We support you, let it go."

"Bang Bang Bang"

Quan Xiaoyao was also damaged by Li Donglai, and she laughed and slapped non-stop together

An Shuzhen looked at these two guys wordlessly, and sighed weakly

She can see that Li Donglai has a branch in South Korea, and he doesn't care about making money or losing money, he doesn't care, but think about it, now every movie of the Phantom Company has hundreds of millions of dollars to earn, and the name of "Chinese who rob money" is not called for nothing, and he released records in South Korea, unless Zhang Zhang sells platinum sales, that bit of record sales and appearance fees really can't attract him

jimmy

Kimmel talk show, has a very popular male host in the United States, Jimmy, humorous, quick-witted, and is loved by countless American fans, as soon as the show opened, Jimmy's characteristic voice sounded, "Hello everyone, the next one, in just one year, has several titles, the media called him 'the youngest billionaire', 'the youngest ghost director', 'the strongest idol heartthrob', 'the coolest werewolf in history'' Chinese who rob money', yes, these are his names, let's welcome Mr. Li Donglai"

"Wow, wow~~~"

Li Donglai casually wore a slightly tight-fitting T-shirt and walked into the studio hall, and the scene immediately rang out with violent applause, screams, whistles, especially women's screams, and even a posture that broke through the roof, this grand scream welcomed and welcomed, which made people can't dislike Jimmy's stage

Li Donglai hasn't faced so many people for a long time, he looks a little reserved today, greeting everyone, walking to the sofa and sitting down, still screaming in the middle of the field, dozens of girls who kept shouting his name just rushed to the stage, fortunately they didn't do it, otherwise they would have been asked to go out by the security guards

He just made some random body movements, which would inexplicably cause a wave of screams

It lasted for a minute, the two couldn't speak, Jimmy was obviously used to this situation, and smiled and let Li Donglai accept the cheers of the scene, Li Donglai did several palms to press down, so that the scene was a little quieter, and he could finally hear what Jimmy said

"Li Donglai, hello first, you are wearing a cool outfit today, and at the same time congratulate you on the success of the movie, and then there are new movies to be released, how are you doing recently, I heard that you have started filming another movie, and three movies are related to you, so what are you here for today?"

Li Donglai shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "What's the matter, it's all me, it's all Li Donglai" An inexplicable scream sounded at the scene again

Jimmy said: "It's an honor to invite you to come, and to be honest, I like your comedy movie very much, it's really funny, your appearance in it is good and most importantly, it's another money grab, there is no one in the United States who can grab money more than you, how does it feel, your fans came to the scene today, the atmosphere is not bad."

Li Donglai stretched out his hand and said: "It feels good, the key is that the audience here is too enthusiastic, I have watched your show, you know, no matter which guest comes in, they are all screaming so hard, which makes me a little suspicious that they are my fans or Jimmy's talk show fans"

As soon as he said this, Jimmy laughed and shouted at the audience, "Hey, does he suspect that you are not his fans, do you want to prove it to him?" "Wow, ah~~~~" The audience broke out into a frenzied scream again

"K, K, I believe it" Li Donglai covered his ears helplessly, and a smile appeared on his face

After a long time of screaming, Jimmy asked, "I heard you say just now that you have watched my show, which one you have watched, I will test you, to prove that you are not perfunctory to me"

"Ha," Li Donglai smiled and said, "This can't test me Jimmy, tell you, I watched your show when I was in China, and the only impression I had at that time was that the audience was too enthusiastic and screamed too loudly" This remark caused the audience to scream wildly

"China, when did my show enter China, there are a lot of people there?"

"That's right, I don't know when, but I can sue you, you can't get the money, because it's all pirated videos" Li Donglai made a funny expression at him, teased, and said: "Do you want me to say the name of a few episodes, you know, there are a few episodes of videos that are still very popular in China, similar to you asking children 'the difference between boys and girls', 'how old is your first sexual experience?', 'make up a movie, and ask others on the street what they think of Oscar shortlisted films'' When have you ever exposed your breasts in front of the opposite sex lately'......"

He was interrupted again, and such a hot topic directly caused the girls on the scene to scream again and again, and Jimmy himself was amused

"Jimmy, do you know what Chinese fans call you?"

Jimmy laughed, "Uh...... They like me so much, they must call me 'smart', 'handsome', 'eloquent'......"

"Nonono, that's talking about me" Li Donglai joked unceremoniously: "Some Chinese netizens call him 'the cheapest host in history', but this is obviously a derogatory term, but it makes people strange that the word 'cheapest' has now become a popular word, and it is very popular among otaku and otaku, how do you feel?" ”

"Hahaha, then they must love me to death" Jimmy laughed, and only pulled back to the topic after a while: "Which movie are you promoting for, the 250 million blockbuster zuò that you are making with your good friend Leonardo, or "The Hangover", which lasted for ten weeks on the North American box office TP10, or the upcoming "Twilight 2 New Moon"? ”

Jimmy's introduction seems to be a statement of facts, but in fact, it is a clever praise of Li Donglai, but it caused the audience to scream wildly

Li Donglai was also a little embarrassed now, "To paraphrase a sentence in "The Hangover", what happened in the past, let it stay in the past, "The Hangover" has been painted, the new movie is still being filmed, and I am naturally here for the werewolf now."

That's right, Li Donglai has officially started the first stop of the promotion of "Twilight 2 New Moon".

With the super popularity of the first part of "Twilight", the second part has made a comeback, bringing greater popularity impact, and the film has just entered the promotion, but it has already booked the box office champion seat in the release week

When the audience heard the words Twilight, some of them couldn't help but scream loudly inexplicably

Cheap rice shrugged and said: "You don't seem to be the protagonist in it, but I heard that the salary is higher than that of the protagonist Robert, you know, Robert came to us last time and answered a lot of questions"

"Ha, you can't fool me, since you asked Robert, you won't ask me again" Li Donglai smiled and said: "I think, if Summit Entertainment is willing to give me a higher salary, it proves that I am doing a good job now, my efforts are worth the current salary, and it proves that I didn't work in vain, what do you think?" The audience burst into applause again

Cheap rice applauded slowly, with that cheap smile from beginning to end, and said, "I think so too, you did a good job"

"Thank you" (welcome,
