"Now that you've expanded so much, how are you going to solve the problem in terms of film content?" Xu Guanwu asked worriedly.

"With you, a partner who can predict the future, I'm afraid that there won't be a blockbuster." Lei Shidong said with a smile, "This is the list of films that will be released this year that I found, you can help me see which ones will be blockbusters." ”

Lei Shidong said, took out a piece of paper, spread it out and placed it in front of Xu Guanwu.

Xu Guanwu was dumbfounded, how did he know that Lei Shidong would actually hit his mind on himself. He had just made a decision that he didn't want to rely on the memories of his previous life to eat, and now Lei Shidong immediately took out this piece of paper.

"God, you're colluding with this guy to haode, right?" Xu Guanwu raised his head and muttered, "This is obviously trying to kill me." ”

"Come, come, help me choose. As long as there are five blockbusters, those loans don't have to worry. Lei Shidong said happily.

Xu Guanwu glanced at him helplessly, if he didn't want to help, his ally would probably be unlucky, and even the friendship he had established with great difficulty would be ruined. National Entertainment may go bankrupt and go out of business, and the bridgehead it has captured in Hollywood will quickly collapse.

If you help, is this considered a violation of your own words? If you go against your heart, if you are in a cultivation novel, you will not be able to understand your thoughts, and your cultivation will stagnate, or you will even go mad, and your cultivation will become invisible.

"Forget it, I said that I couldn't use the memories of my past life when I didn't have to, but now it's the time of life and death. There are no forgivable and extenuating circumstances, and it is not against my own decision to do so. Xu Guanwu comforted himself. Then he picked up the list given by Lei Shidong.

In total, there are more than a hundred movies on the list. Densely written a long list. It's really jealousy that tests people's eyesight.

Xu Guanwu picked it up and looked at it carefully one by one, comparing it with the memory in his mind by the way. He now comes to the United States every now and then, and stays for a long time every time, so his English level is already very good, and he has no problem listening, speaking, reading and writing.

It's just that the only difficulty is that the names of the blockbuster movies in his mind are almost entirely translated into Chinese, and the original English is not clear. Moreover, Chinese translation relies on the three principles of "Xindaya". Therefore, the translated names are very beautiful and beautiful, much stronger than the dry English original. Therefore, knowing the name of the Chinese translation may not be able to accurately match the English name, so this has also brought a lot of trouble to Xu Guanwu.

Xu Guanwu watched it carefully over and over again, in addition to reading the name of the movie, he also watched the content of the story, the actors, the director and screenwriter, etc., to enhance his ability to correct mistakes.

Then he pointed out the two movies he was most sure of, one was "King Kong" and the other was "Omen".

The movie "King Kong" is definitely a Hollywood classic, and Xu Guanwu is sure about it not only because of the new century. Great director Peter. Jackson once remade the work, and he still remembers that Nintendo was responsible for the Gorilla's game portrait rights. and fought a lawsuit with the film company that attracted worldwide attention.

As a result, Nintendo won and gained a foothold in the United States, and Donkey Kong became one of the protagonists of Nintendo's games, producing several generations of best-selling games and becoming the iconic image of Nintendo with Mario. If the movie "King Kong" does not sell well at the box office, will there be any game companies that will adapt it into a game?

And there is another thing that also gave Xu Guanwu confidence, that is, Shaw Brothers also made a "Orangutan King" in the 70s, which can be called a copycat version of "King Kong". The protagonist is starring Li Xiuxian, who is a representative of the police, and the heroine is a Danish girl with a hot body, who is very angry.

Moreover, for this film, Shaw Brothers has also introduced only four professional cameras in the world, which can be called a model of large investment. But it seems that because of the filming of this work, Shaw Brothers suffered a huge loss of tens of millions, which led to a great loss of vitality and had to compress the production funds of other films, and was therefore surpassed by emerging shili such as Golden Harvest and New Art City.

With Sir Shaw Yifu's lonely character, if it weren't for the box office hit of "King Kong", how could he be willing to spend such a large amount of investment if he copied and plagiarized because he saw that he was happy to hunt his heart? From this, it can also be deduced how popular the drama "King Kong" is.

With these three reasons, Xu Guanwu firmly believes that this "King Kong" will definitely achieve box office success. And that "Bad Omen", Xu Guanwu remembered that he had seen a post posted on a forum before, "Shijie Horror Film Recommendation", which introduced this work, which is said to be a classic with a sense of horror of more than four and a half stars, and it seems that two sequels have been made.

Making a sequel in the United States is a privilege that only blockbuster films can enjoy, and there are as many as two sequels, which shows the success of "Omen" even more.

In addition to these two more certain movies, Xu Guanwu also chose four works: "The Birth of a Star", "The Great Conspiracy", "The Battle of Midway" and "Spicy Detective Cannon Shot".

These four works either have a strong cast, or the subject matter Xu Guanwu thinks is good, or they are also remakes, which already have a certain market foundation. Of course, whether these four movies can succeed or not will need to wait for time to test, and Xu Guanwu does not dare to pack tickets.

After selecting a total of six movies, Xu Guanwu let out a sigh and put down the list, "Oh, just these movies, I think it's not bad." ”

Lei Shidong happily took the list and took a look, and saw that on the long list, there were only six movies circled, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "You can choose a few more, the more you choose, the more money we make, right?" ”

"Don't be so greedy, if these six movies are all blockbusters, it will be enough for your expenses this year. You have to give others a way to live, don't you? Xu Guanwu shook his head and said, "In addition, let's postpone the expansion this year, you have expanded too fast in the past six months, be careful of indigestion, or wait until you have digested it all." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lei Shidong nodded with a smile and put the list away, "That's right." Tomorrow's Golden Globes. Your clamor for winning the award is high. Especially the one "One Flew Over the Asylum". I heard that even the old guys from the academy praised this movie, you have to remember to prepare an acceptance speech, so as not to be ready to go on stage when you get it. ”

"You're just thinking about me, okay?" Xu Guanwu couldn't laugh or cry.

Sent Lei Shidong out of the door and returned to the room, but Xu Guanwu couldn't sleep. "Sister, I'm dead." He muttered as he baked the cake.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Guanwuan slept peacefully. I finally felt refreshed and refreshed.

After having breakfast at the hotel, Xu Guanwu took the time to visit his old friend Sylvester. Stallone. I haven't seen him for half a year, this guy has gained a lot of weight, and he looks like a mountain of meat.

"Hey, my friend, it's been a long time, and I miss it all to death." When Sylvester Stallone saw Xu Guanwu, the big money owner, he couldn't help but say with a happy look in his eyes.

"Come less, come less. Don't touch me, I'm still going to the awards ceremony. If you give me some oil, I won't be able to wear it again. Xu Guanwu hurriedly dodged.

"What are you talking about, why don't you call it a buddy?" Stallone couldn't help but say, and hugged Xu Guanwu fiercely.

Xu Guanwu immediately smelled a rich smell mixed with perfume, cigar smoke, red wine and body odor, and almost smoked him to death.

Breaking away from Stallone's embrace, Xu Guanwu glanced him up and down, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Stallone had given him the feeling of being strong, strong, and a strong man like a stone pier. Now Stallone is standing there, his little belly is bulging, the muscles on his body are loose, and the evil aura in his eyes is gone, looking like the kind of couch potato that is common in American families.

"Man, I'm ready, when are we going to start filming Rocky 2?" Stallone asked with interest.

Last year, he wanted to wait for the Oscars to finish before filming, and wanted to get more paid for the Best Actor award, so he pushed down many movies. But unfortunately it backfired, the best actor was taken away by others, and Stallone was left empty-handed.

Now he has not had a new work for almost two years, the halo brought to him by the movie "Rocky" has faded, his commercial value has now declined significantly, and many advertising endorsements, catwalk events, TV shows, etc. no longer invite him.

This made Stallone's income plummet, and he could not support his luxurious life of drunken dreams and nights. So he urgently needs a work to rebuild his heroism, so that everyone knows that he Stallone is still a big star and still has his own commercial value.

But after listening to Stallone's questioning, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but flatten his mouth. You're fat like this now, how can you still look like the previous Rocky, how can this sequel be filmed?!

Stallone didn't notice Xu Guanwu's expression, he immediately talked about his idea of "Rocky 2", the story is still similar to before, after Rocky won the championship, he quickly ran out of money, and his relationship with his lover was on the verge of breakdown. At this time, the boxing king challenged him again, and Rocky, determined to win back his aiqing and career, resolutely entered the fight, and won the heart's turn of heart at Zuihou, and then defeated the boxing king to regain the victory.

To be honest, the script conceived by Stallone does sound very enthusiastic, and Xu Guanwu also thinks it is very good, but looking at his current state, whether he can play a future like last time is a little difficult to think.

In the first movie, Stallone is resolute, tenacious, hardworking, a typical representative of the American dream, and firmly believes that with his own struggle, he will be able to succeed.

And now Stallone's dignity, this fat body, at least 100 kilograms, standing there is like a mountain of meat, it is not appropriate to shoot boxing, but it is quite appropriate to shoot Japanese sumo.

Stallone talked alone for a long time, and he was completely addicted, but after he finished being alone, he didn't get the slightest response from Xu Guanwu, so he couldn't help but close his mouth.

"Xu, you don't support me making this movie?" Stallone asked in surprise. In his opinion, Xu Guanwu is definitely his firm ally, and he will definitely spare no effort to support him. But now it seems that I was a little too naïve.

"Stallone, if you really want to make this movie, you have to show a little sincerity first." Xu Guanwu hesitated for a moment and organized the language, "First quit your habit of drinking and smoking, and then honestly enter the fitness center and lose the fat on your body." Otherwise I wouldn't have invested a dime in this movie. ”

"What you said is true?" Stallone's face fell suddenly, "You think I can't move now, I can't move, so I look down on me, don't you?" ”

"It's not that I look down on you, it's that you don't respect yourself. Look at the way you look now, full of wine, the smell of cigar smoke, and the bloodshot eyes that are all over your eyes...... Are you still the same Stallone you used to be? When Xu Guanwu heard him say this, he couldn't help but shout angrily, "If you are still as energetic and evil as on this poster, I will definitely not say a word about investing in you." Otherwise, you might as well go to someone else. (To be continued......)
