860: Neon Lights
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Seth McFarlane is undoubtedly talented, his eloquence is great, his humor is funny, and the atmosphere is even more funny, which is very much in line with the Teddy image that Lee Donglai wants.
He himself is not a nobody, on the contrary, he has long been famous in Hollywood. Not only a screenwriter, producer, director, actor, but even a voice actor. He is a 13-time TV Emmy Award nominee for his animated TV series Family Guy, a comedian who has been active on stage and television, and has won two American TV Emmy Awards.
He signed a new deal with Twentieth Century Fox, which made him the highest-paid TV writer of all time, with a total of $100 million over five years, while the creators of the hit show "Lost" Jams and Paramount and Warner Cros signed five-year contracts for a total of $60 million.
Li Donglai was not a false comfort, and said: "In fact, I have the same idea as you, and I have not been able to take shape. I'm interested in World of Warcraft, but those guys would rather hold it than hand it over to me. β
"Oh?" Seth was intrigued, "I know the news, they seem to have been looking for you in the first place. You're a game fan. β
"Yes, it didn't work out later, and I became an alternative."
Li Donglai spread his hands helplessly, "Then every time I hear that they are talking to someone to shoot and who has become the director of World of Warcraft, I have to worry for a while." What should I do if someone else comes to shoot and can't shoot well, and what should I do if the story I shoot is not what I like? It's really depressing. So I later bought the rights to adapt another well-known game, Assassin's Creed, and I was expecting to make it, but ...... How to say it. He scratched at his hair in frustration.
"Still can't make up for that loss?"
"yes, that's what it feels like." Li Donglai clapped his hands, "It's like falling in love." "World of Warcraft" is the first love and still loves her, and "Assassin's Creed" is another beauty that you can't let go of, but neither can replace anyone. β
"Haha," Seth laughed, "Hear you say that." I suddenly felt so much better. It turns out that we are in the same sickness. β
"Is that why you have two girlfriends? It turns out that you are so possessive in character. Suddenly a voice came from behind them, startling them, and Blay Cleverly looked at them with a smile on his chest.
Li Donglai defended: "This is not Blake, we are talking about movies." β
Then he said to Seth: "Seth, have you ever thought about making a movie?" "The Hangover 3", I suddenly felt that your humor and spoofs were very much to my appetite. I would like to invite you to shoot The Hangover 3 to perfectly integrate your humor into the concept of The Hangover 3 and make the movie more entertaining and fresh. β
Now everyone was surprised.
Seth was surprised for a moment, "You mean really?" β
"Of course!" Li Donglai said: "I officially extend an invitation to you. β
βOMGοΌβ Seth felt a little sudden, "'The Hangover' is certainly my favorite comedy, a classic of B-grade comedy classics. It brought about a resurgence in Hollywood as a genre of comedy. But didn't Phillips do a good job, and "The Hangover 2" also won such a high box office? β
"Nope."
Li Donglai shook his head and said, "Maybe I messed up." You know the scolding with the critics, and that's putting Phillips under too much pressure. And the sequel didn't live up to our expectations, at least not in terms of word-of-mouth. We are at an impasse, the story is not innovative enough, the routine is completely the story routine of the original, and the sequel story has not been decided for a long time. Phillips has resigned. β
"Can I shoot well?" Seth was really at a loss. What were you talking about just now, how did you talk about this topic all of a sudden? He was asking Li Donglai when he said this, but he was actually asking himself.
"I think you can do it, "Family Guy" is made into a live-action theme, it is also a B-grade comedy, and "Agent Daddy" is also great. Seth, the change of topic may be a bit abrupt, but I'm deliberate enough to put The Hangover 3 in your hands. β
Seth McFarlane's face was a little stiff, clearly a mixture of excitement and pressure. He was caught in a war of gains and losses. "I need to think about it."
βOKγβ Li Donglai nodded briskly, then raised his hand to look at his watch, but found that he was not wearing a watch, and he was very accustomed to grabbing Blake's wrist to look at the time, "Is one minute enough?" Blake glared at him with disgust.
ββ¦β¦ whatοΌ β
Blay Cleverly patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Congratulations." Teddy, I wish you a great movie in advance. β
Seth Macfarlane shook his head helplessly, "I suddenly feel like my breathing is unnatural. Also, don't call me Teddy, Lori! β
"Hey, I'm not called Lori either, haha."
"The Hangover" set a box office record for B-grade comedies, and led to the rise of a large number of comedies of the same genre, with a global box office of 600 million. Although "The Hangover 2" experienced a word-of-mouth turmoil, it shook "Thor" and "Captain America" in May, when blockbusters gathered, and won the weekend box office championship against the sky. Although the final box office was not as good as its predecessor, it also achieved a box office of $600 million.
A B-grade comedy with a poor reputation, but it has a global box office of $600 million, and nearly $300 million in North America. How much energy does it take to do it in the previous game?
Isn't that crazy? Why did "The Hangover 2", which changed the main creative team, be able to explode like this? Many Hollywood media outlets attribute it to The Hangover's popularity, followed by excellent marketing, a weak comedy market, and the fact that The Hangover 2 itself is not so bad and passable.
Indeed, in addition to having a North American box office of 320 million and a global box office of 100 million, "The Hangover" has caused huge social repercussions, promoting tourism and beer sales in Las Vegas; it is also very hot in terms of later sales, DVD currently has 183 million sales in North America alone, and the sales volume has reached 11.43 million.
The laughter generated by these sales has been accumulating bit by bit, forming an energy comparable to a nuclear bomb explosion, which finally began to be unleashed this weekend.
Some fans commented: "The results of "The Hangover 2" are slightly inferior to the previous work, which is also related to Li Donglai's abandonment of directing the sequel. It makes me think that if Li Donglai continues to direct, what will be its opening result? Could it be even crazier? Maybe. "But that's all hypothetical, and the Phantom won't give up on The Hangover 3. Unless Li Donglai has a funny head.
"Teddy Bear" is still filming, and the Phantom has already announced to the outside world that "The Hangover 3" will be directed by Seth McFarlane. After filming "Teddy Bear", the crew's work will revolve around him.
In the crew of "Teddy Bear", the three main creators were interviewed by the Los Angeles Times.
"Of course there's a lot of pressure."
Talking further about the pressure impact of Lee Donglai and his previous work, Seth Macfarlane admitted: "He is like a mountain that is difficult to climb. And it's just that in front of you, you have to muster up the courage to hit the road and try to climb through it. Everyone doesn't want "The Hangover 3" to be ugly, the American people love it, and we have to do our best to catch up with the previous film so as not to disappoint fans and fans. Lee Dong-lai and Philip will play a little crazier, with a lot of slow motion, special effects, and parody spoofs; Maybe I'll go a relatively different way. The details are even more unexpected. β
The reporter asked Li Donglai why he chose Seth McFarlane.
"I like his humorous style and it fits in well with me, and the choice of him is the result of a lot of thought." Li Donglai touted Seth, "We were pleasantly surprised to see that "The Hangover 2" exploded in May with a power that surpassed its predecessor, and according to the number of finishes we got our hands on, more than 65% of the audience were between the ages of 17 and 35. It's good that it's still the darling of young people. The global box office is as high as 600 million US dollars, and the DVD market is even more popular, and the statistics in my hands have sold more than 100 million. So "The Hangover 3" is a plan that we will inevitably start, and as for the story format may change, we will build a sequel around Seth McFarlane, and everyone will return. Let's bring you another hilarious journey. β
After talking about two topics, he was put aside, and Li Donglai shared a lot of interesting facts about the set of "Teddy Bear" and the secrets of the behind-the-scenes production under the questions of the "Los Angeles Times".
One of the advantages of making comedy is that the scene will be filled with joyful laughter from time to time, and the atmosphere is very relaxed.
Blay Cleverly has also had an affair with Li Donglai before, and this time the two have worked together for the first time, which is naturally the focus of media attention. The reporter repeatedly asked the two about their interaction on the set, and asked Li Donglai why he chose Blay Cleverly as the heroine.
Li Donglai smiled exaggeratedly and said: "Beautiful, sexy, and a pair of straightforward eyes, Cameron Diaz's hearty smile, Jessica Simpson's big wavy long hair and 24-year-old invincible youth." Isn't that enough? This is the first time he has praised her so bluntly in front of Blake, although it is for the promotion of the movie. But Blake still felt the sweetness of flowers blooming in his heart, and he couldn't stop smiling.
"Woo, looks like you think highly of Blake. How does it compare to Emma and Yoona? Reporter Catherine asked excitedly, but her kind of question was not destined to get the answer she wanted.
"Haha," Li Donglai smiled heartily, "It's a different type." β
Blake added, "We're going to have a bed scene in the movie." β
"Wow! This is the second time I've been surprised today. Catherine said, "If I'm not mistaken." Li Donglai, you once said that you can't act in bed scenes, and there will be no bed scenes in your movies. β
Li Donglai laughed and said, "Everyone will know then." β
At the end, I also took many intimate photos with them.
β¦β¦
Boston has just been hit by a heavy snowfall, and the whole city is quieter.
At the beginning of the lanterns, under the bright street lamps, the green belt is still full of snow-covered streets appear far-reaching and dark, but at this time the sky is not completely dark, and the classical style high-rise buildings in the middle of the sky with a thick dark blue line of sky, which makes the already quiet street even colder.
Fortunately, the comings and goings of couples at this time, as well as the strong light from the shop pΓΉ and the music wafting around, add a lot of liveliness to the street, contradictory and unified.
Seth McFarlane is going to have a drink and digest the work of directing a hit sequel that he just mumbled. Shang Ge Yunton is even more of a tough guy who can't stay still, and he also wants to go together to be chic.
Li Donglai refused, and he excused himself and said that he would prepare for tomorrow's work. When they were gone, they dragged Blake Cleverly with them to wander into the uninhabited park. During this time, as long as the two are free, they are tired of being together.
"Did you mean what you just said?" Blake Cleverly giggled, slightly drunk, wearing a trench coat and a white sweater, and skinny jeans underneath, which set off a pair of long legs more and more charming, and the appearance of big wavy curls was also very sultry.
"Surely, does my use of compliments against you make you feel unreal, or has the media never complimented you like that?" Li Donglai put his arm around her waist. "No, of course the media has said everything, but this is the first time you have praised me like this."
"I know what you're trying to say, Blake. If you want to hear those words, I can say a hundred words a day and make you tired, but that's not my style. β
"I knew you would, actually, would I want to hear sweet words." Blake Cleverly said with a sigh, her upper body almost entirely leaning on Li Donglai, so she staggered a little when she walked, and the heels of her high heels hit the masonry floor irregularly, making a chaotic clicking sound.
Li Donglai stroked her face and didn't say anything more, and the two embraced each other and walked down the winding street to the wide street. Colorful neon lights suddenly come to the face, and the night view of Boston is completely presented in front of you.
The two hugged each other tighter and tighter, and when they came to a deserted park, Blay Cleverly suddenly grabbed Li Donglai's face and kissed him fiercely on the mouth. The sound of "tsk" resounded non-stop, and you can imagine how intense it was, but the people passing by them didn't care, and they didn't even look surprised. Such fierce kissing couples abound on the streets of the United States.
The kiss lasted for a few minutes, and when they finally separated, Blay Cleverly's face was flushed, and the whole person was almost soft on Li Donglai, gasping for breath, and he didn't know if it was because of the lack of oxygen or because he was teased.
The two hugged each other for a while, and Li Donglai opened his mouth again: "Let's walk back, it's not far from the hotel." Blay Lively, who had recovered a little, grabbed his arm.
β¦β¦ Another sleepless night. (To be continued)
