A "Avenger" was originally prepared by Sun Peng for Liang Ren.

However, at that time, Liang Lao's heart was relatively big, and he was a little disdainful of "The Avenger", which was not expensive to shoot and the plot did not sound outstanding, but chose "Truman's World", which sounded cool and full of literary style!

But now that the script has been written, Sun Peng doesn't plan to waste it.

Song Qun and the two of them are not well-known in the industry, even if they take Lao Bai's script and look for investment, I am afraid that it will be as difficult as Wei Xiaolin to get the opportunity to shoot blockbusters, so this kind of low-cost production is just right for them.

And......

"After filming "League of Assassins", Lao Xue seems to be quite idle."

When Song Qun and the two directors just finished listening to the synopsis of the plot and began to excitedly consider the candidates for the male and female protagonists, Sun Peng reminded them with a smile.

"Xue, Xue Ligang?"

After hearing the word Lao Xue, he first froze for a moment, and then Song Qun thought of who Sun Peng was talking about, and then a pair of eyes gradually widened!

This person, they know each other very well!

"Yes, it's Lao Xue!"

Raising his eyebrows, Sun Peng nodded with a smile.

In a movie like "The Avenger", there must be a male protagonist who can suppress the scene!

Like the original, if there is no Denzel? In Washington's case, Sun Peng didn't think the film would make $35 million at the box office in its opening weekend. Even if the quality of this film is really good, using superstars and ordinary stars are definitely two different concepts.

Therefore, the position of the actor is best played by a superstar.

A Chinese male star in his forties and fifties, and at the same time has a huge appeal in the field of action movies, Sun Peng really can't think of anyone else except Xue Ligang.

It's just that Sun Peng's natural idea was first surprised and then helpless on Song Qun's side, and said with a wry smile: "Teacher Sun, if you make a movie, of course it's no problem to ask Xue Ligang, and even he played a big villain in our "League of Assassins", but ...... Are you sure he'll be starring in the two of us? ”

Having just finished working together in "League of Assassins", Song Qun and they have a good understanding of Xue Ligang's power.

It was determined that the filming of "League of Assassins" was before the release of "Hurricane Rescue 2 - True Lies", although Xue Ligang at that time had the blessing of the first part, but after all, the confidence was not very sufficient, so the role of the villain moved as soon as he said it, and the salary was low and scary. But now that there is a global box office of one billion US dollars, not to mention the size of the film investment, there is no fifty or sixty million plus dividends to move him?

In Song Qun's opinion, Xue Ligang's salary alone may be enough to make the whole movie!

Sun Peng is not a movie novice now, so of course he can understand their thoughts, and said with a smile: "Of course, I'm just a suggestion, and the specific decision still needs to be discussed with the investor." But...... To be honest, if this film doesn't use superstars, my appeal alone won't be too high at the box office! ”

There are no big scenes, no gorgeous special effects, no superstars joining, and some are the kind of cool feeling of pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, how far can the box office go?

"This ......"

Song Qun knew this better than Sun Peng, so they were also silent after hearing these words.

Looking at the tangled two, Sun Peng shook his head secretly.

This is the difference between an ordinary director and a famous director, if it is other famous directors, where are these problems? With Lao Bai's script, it is a casual investment of two or three hundred million production costs, and it is naturally not a problem to invite Xue Ligang to star. But for Song Qun's words for the two of them......

"Okay, you just have to think about it slowly."

Sun Peng didn't want to spend more time on this, so he smiled and waved his hand: "I'll optimize the script well, and I'll get it for you later, now you can think about who to invest in first......

The movie "Avenger", Sun Peng actually likes it a lot.

It's just that there is one thing he always feels awkward, that is, the villain who finally had a decisive battle with the male protagonist, which feels a little too lo. In contrast, if you look at the villain in "This Killer is Not Too Cold", he is simply not a level of existence.

However, considering the director's ability, investment and other factors, it actually made a living......

Just talking and laughing, Sun Peng threw out another script.

Anyway, it's not a blockbuster script, simply put, it's to verify the level of Song Qun and the two of them. If the film is made well, Sun Peng doesn't mind cultivating it like Wei Xiaolin, but if the things filmed are not satisfactory, this "Avenger" can be regarded as a thank you gift for them to help him shoot "League of Assassins".

So after the script was written and handed over to them, Sun Peng basically stopped asking.

Fortunately, the professionalism of the two assistant directors is very high, even after getting Lao Bai's script, they almost couldn't wait to start looking for investors, but the post-production of "League of Assassins" was not delayed. After all, there are a lot of gunfight scenes and car chase scenes in this film, and the inexperienced Sun Peng needs to rely on their help in many places.

After the soundtrack and ending song are in place, the later stage of the movie is moving forward exactly as planned, and time is also in Sun Peng's state of being sometimes busy and sometimes being idle for two days, and day by day passes.

And when the date entered November, the publicity campaign of "The Lion King" began to storm day by day!

The huge investment, the beautiful pictures, and of course, the script and the entire soundtrack and songs created by the famous screenwriter and musician Lao Bai (Laobai) have made "The Lion King" an undoubted super blockbuster in the schedule at the end of the year! Especially when the picture book of "The Lion King" has sold more than 8 million copies worldwide, and "Frozen" has been hitchhiked in the trailer and promotional poster, it has become one of the most anticipated movies of the Christmas schedule.

There is still more than a month before its release, and "The Lion King" has already won more than 37% of the film scheduling rate in China!

The two films "Spirited Away" and "Frozen" are the strong backing of "The Lion King".

So whether it is Huaxia filmmakers or ordinary movie fans, they all know that 37% of the films may still not be the final number, and Lao Bai's little fans are even more eagerly waiting for the second picture book adaptation of the movie - their parents have already prepared the movie ticket money!

As for North America......

With more than 4,000 screens, the second-largest animated film in history with the number of screens on the first day of release, Hollywood filmmakers have also seen the power of the name "laobai"!

And at this time, Huaxia Tianwang released a new song at his New York concert!

《can you feel the love tonight》！

The episode of the movie "The Lion King", just a glimpse at the concert in New York, attracted countless Luo Cheng fans for this movie!

At the same time, the producers of "The Lion King" released two trailers with very different styles.

An imposing shot cut with the soundtrack of "The Circle of Life"!

One is full of joy and laughter, and the soundtrack is "Hakuna Matata"!

And it was the appearance of these three soundtracks and interludes that completely ignited many people's expectations for "The Lion King"! As Lao Bai said on Weibo: "Maybe we can't see from the beautiful trailer whether the whole animation is worth the high ticket price, but at least one thing is certain, just for these three songs, I will definitely go into the cinema and want to use this Lao Bai to create another feast for us......"
