949: Frozen
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Li Donglai was not idle during this time, in view of the unexpected success of the second part after Li Donglai took over, Disney and Marvel stepped up their plans for a third sequel. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!) He's going to shoot "Iron Man 3".
"Why are there two new characters in my script?" During the meeting on the first day of the crew's reunion, Li Donglai looked at producer Kevin Feige in surprise.
Hollywood has a strict producer system, and the producer is the boss in a movie. They can decide when they commute to and from work, decide on the filming schedule, and even change the script and the final cut of the film if the budget is met, and even decide whether the director will stay or not.
If he is an unfamous director, his status in the crew is even inferior to that of a well-known movie protagonist, except that the producer and the film protagonist's rights in the crew are the second largest. But this kind of thing has never happened to Li Donglai. First, most of his previous movies were invested by himself, and second, with his current influence and appeal, there are still people who dare to change his script? He was surprised.
The new Marvel CEO explained in a serious way: "This is exactly what I want to discuss with you. Looking at the first two films, the box office potential in China is very high, and we felt the need to add Chinese elements to the films. In your film script, you play a bodyguard who is seriously injured and dying at the beginning of the film, and we are worried that this will affect the box office. And the Chinese actors who play the two doctors are also your friends, Bing Bing Fan and Xueqi Wang. ”
"How many meetings have you had to discuss this?"
The penchant for meetings is not a unique hobby of Chinese leaders, and Hollywood producers' meetings are enough to blow them up. As big as changing the plot of the script, as small as the type of the protagonist, you can argue for a day before deciding the outcome. Li Donglai is no longer a Hollywood rookie, and he knows a lot about them.
"It did take a lot of work." Kevin hadn't heard the sarcasm in Li Donglai's words, "Of course, your opinion is the most important thing." ”
Li Donglai nodded and said seriously: "Kevin, the movies I have made before have never suffered any losses. Do you know the secret of my success? ”
"What?" Kevin Feige was a little confused.
"The secret is that in my filmmaking, no one ever pretends to be clever in my filmmaking." Li Donglai's voice unconsciously increased, and everyone else looked at him in surprise, and Kevin Feige's eyes widened even more.
"Then we'll talk about things." Li Donglai threw the script on the table, "Do you think two dispensable cardiology doctors, let Iron Man go around in a Chinese elementary school." Can it be considered a Chinese element? Regardless of the rationality of the plot such as whether Iron Man will be bombed down by the Chinese Air Force when he goes to China, you and I are stupid or other Chinese. ”
Another producer of the film, Shane Black, said: "Lee, you think too much, things are not so strict. Previously, they accepted the harsher conditions. ”
Li Donglai is not unheard. I heard that there has recently been a dislike within Disney that Lee Dong-lai's salary is too high, and his director's share and salary have exceeded Hollywood's standard line. One person will take 16.5% of the box office. There is also a director's salary of 4ooo million. Under this kind of remarks, naturally some enthusiastic people began to look for a replacement for Li Donglai. The Mr. Shane Black in front of him is one of the alternates.
Robert Downey Jr., who didn't know why, came over and said, "Lee, what's the birth?" Don't be such a buddy, you can have something to say. ”
Li Donglai glanced at Kevin and Shane coldly, but said with a sudden smile: "It doesn't matter, since you think it's appropriate." I'll just shoot it. But I'm going to say that my box office passing mark is $100 million. If the box office is not up to par, I am not responsible. ”
Kevin Feige gasped, how many directors in Hollywood dare to shout out the $1o dollar passing line so justifiably?! He was silent for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "Sorry, Lee." We apologize to you for not telling you about it in advance by changing your script. Since you don't feel the role is suitable, follow your script. We will refuse Fan. ”
Li Donglai spread his hands, "I didn't say that it's bad to join Chinese actors, just don't join these brain-dead plots." Since Bingbing Fan is going to play, he will give her the role of Maya, a female botanist. ”
As soon as the words came out, Shane couldn't help but interject again: "Shane's role has been decided on Rebecca Hall......"
"Rebecca is just one of the candidates, we haven't signed yet." Kevin added.
"Yes, not signed. I don't mean it has to be her. It's just that if the second heroine is also played by a Chinese actor, will the American audience not be used to it, after all, the United States is the base camp. ”
"The United States will give you a maximum of 300 million at the box office." Li Donglai said coldly: "You can discuss my mention slowly." He began to look at his watch, "But since it's not discussed yet." Formal filming doesn't seem to work. It just so happened that Emma was going to take a pregnancy test, and I needed to go first and call me when I was decided. Donnie, you seem to have made a trip for nothing today. ”
Robert Downey Jr. probably heard that the atmosphere was wrong, and thoughtfully stood up and hugged him, "It's okay, it's always annoying." Say hello to Emma for me. ”
"I will."
……
Emma's belly was already obvious, and during today's routine pregnancy test, the doctor just casually mentioned, "Do you want to see if the baby is male or female?" She couldn't wait to see it.
Li Donglai shook his head beside him, "I still think it's better to keep the suspense, so that the surprise of the child's birth will be greater." ”
"Mouthy." Emma glared at him dissatisfied, "You just have to be honest about fairy tales." ”
Li Donglai depressedly flipped through the thick Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale in his hand, "Are you sure that prenatal education has an effect?" It looks silly that way. ”
Emma was also stunned, she had nothing to do but read fairy tales and listen to music. Because Li Donglai is not often at home, and it is difficult to learn Chinese. In line with the concept that education should start from the fetus, while he had free time, he grabbed a bag and asked him to record his father's version of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales. It's just that the question of whether prenatal education has an effect has really not been carefully considered, and I can't help but look at Guo Biting for help. Guo Biting spread his finger and pointed at the pregnancy test doctor: "The doctor is here, shouldn't he ask her more?" ”
The pregnancy test doctor said: "According to the scientific explanation, prenatal education is effective. The fetus has amazing abilities. The research results of Thomas, a well-known medical expert in the United States, show that at the age of 6 months, the number of brain cells in the fetus is close to that of an adult, and various sensory organs tend to be perfect, and can respond to stimulation inside and outside the mother's body to a certain extent. ”
"At all times when the fetus is growing up, scientifically provide visual, auditory, tactile and other aspects of education, such as light, music, dialogue, patting, touching, etc., so that the fetal brain nerve cells continue to proliferate, and the functions of the nervous system and various organs can be reasonably opened and trained, so as to maximize the intellectual potential of the fetus and achieve the purpose of improving human quality......"
“ok!” Li Donglai hurriedly stopped, and continued to read the unfinished "Snow Queen" to the tape recorder depressedly: "...... Spring came, and Gerda and Gay returned home, and they sat hand in hand on the small bridge together, feeling very happy! ”
A fairy tale was read by Li Donglai in subdued Chinese, and Emma's round belly was still smeared with green crystal paste for easy perspective.
"Are you done?" Her Chinese language skills are really not high.
"I'm done." It was Guo Biting who answered her, "Andersen deserves to be the king of fairy tales, even at my age, I will feel after listening to fairy tales." ”
"Okay, dear, let's start recording the next one, Snow White." Emma shouted, but unexpectedly Li Donglai was staying, "Dear ......"
"Huh?" Li Dong came back to his senses, "I suddenly thought of an idea, how about you say that the Snow White Queen will be changed into a movie?" ”
"Not at all!" Emma said angrily: "I'm asking you to read fairy tales, when can't the movie be made." ”
Li Donglai ignored it, sometimes he could put it down when inspiration came, and he ran to the study in high spirits. Emma was furious, "Don't you want to know if the child is male or female?" ”
"If you don't want to, don't tell me if you know, lest there be no surprise." He shouted without looking back.
"I'm going to sue you." Emma shouted at the top of her voice to express her displeasure.
Li Donglai still knew that the first child in his life would be a girl. It's good, and I also helped my daughter come up with a name, Elsa. It happens to be the same name as the heroine of his new script "Frozen". Emma disliked Li Donglai's carelessness and lack of attention, so she had to think hard for herself and gave the child an elegant name.
Li Donglai felt funny, and was not arbitrary, and said: "Give you two choices, either Elsa Lee, or Anna Lee." I'm going to make an animated film based on the story of "Snow White", and Elsa and Anna are the names of the two heroines of the film. Maybe after the movie is made, the whole world will be crazy about these two names, and then our children will be jealous of the children of the whole world. If you give you another name, your child will resent you in the future. ”
Emma hesitated for a moment, and Lee Dong-rae knocked out again, winning N in a row. Drive the sports car to the Phantom Animation.
Phantom Animation's latest animated feature film, The Story of Old Lacey, based on the 1971 comic book written by Dr. Seuss and directed by Despicable Me director Chris Renard, is in the final stages of promotion, and will be released nationwide on the first weekend of March.
The story is very simple, and the production cycle is very fast. If this animation is also successful, it will be an animated feature film of Phantom Animation with another theme in addition to "Kung Fu Panda", which means that Phantom Animation has mature self-produced high-quality animation capabilities.
