Chapter 1365: Edge of Tomorrow
In the original plan, Sun Peng originally wanted to come up with "I Am Legend", after all, Michael? Pete is very handsome, and if he plans to let a Hollywood studio produce it, the bigger the scene, the better, and the more difficult the shooting, the better. Sun Peng has already checked the type of movie "I Am Legend", and there is really no one in this world.
But just now, Sun Peng said "Tomorrow's War Chronicle" by a ghost......
No, it should be Edge of Tomorrow!
Why did you choose a masterpiece on the earth that failed at the box office, to be honest, Sun Peng couldn't say it clearly for a while, just like he really couldn't understand why the box office failure of this movie was. But just saw Steve? After Lucas's expression for a moment, he suddenly changed his whim to this Hollywood failure on earth.
This kind of game-like life-sustaining gameplay has not been discovered by Sun Peng in the movie library of this world.
At least not in well-known movies!
So "Edge of Tomorrow" has always been on Sun Peng's list, so I wonder when to take it out and let the filmmakers in this world "process" it to see if it can be made better? After all, Sun Peng really likes this movie.
Not because of Tom, but because of the plot inside.
The movie "Edge of Tomorrow" is roughly about the mysterious alien invasion of the earth, and various countries have organized a coalition to fight against it. Tom? Cruise plays a major who is forced into battle by his superiors. But in the first battle, Liang Tang was killed. It's just that for an inexplicable reason, Liangtang found that he was resurrected the next day and achieved immortality!
But......
What's even more amazing is that he seems to be trapped in a time clip, waking up every morning and always repeating the same day's events!
Death on the battlefield is constant, and the next day is reborn, repeating the story of the same day.
In the process of seeking the truth, Liangtang discovers a woman, a female warrior, and a female god of war, who seems to have the same experience as herself......
On the earth, there are still a lot of movies like this kind of game reading, such as "Lara Run" and "Source Code", etc., but Sun Peng has not found it in this world.
Sure enough, it took him five minutes to roughly tell the two of them about "Edge of Tomorrow...... No, now it should be called after the plot of "Tomorrow's War", Michael? Pete and Steve? Lucas's eyes lit up at the same time!
Can you read files like a game?
This movie sounds like a lot of fun!
And alien invasion or something, has always been a classic theme in Hollywood, just Steve? Lucas is also very good at it!
"Oh, what a great idea!"
Take a deep breath, Steve? Lucas nodded again and again: "As long as you die, you can be resurrected, in the eyes of the audience, it's like playing an FPS game...... It's so much fun, it's definitely very immersive! ”
"And the setting that you have to die every day is also cool!"
As excited as Lucas, and Michael? Pete, he rubbed his hands together and laughed: "I think when he is the most desperate and starts to be numb, it is the time when my acting skills are tested the most...... Haha, I'm really looking forward to playing against Lin together! I really want to see her don her steel armor and fight with me! ”
"Lin? Is it Sun's cousin Lin? ”
After hearing Pete's words, Lucas's eyes lit up again.
"Yes, that's her!"
Nodding, Michael? Pete smiled: "The most box office appeal action actress in China...... Gather the best stars of Hollywood and Chinese cinema, then assemble the strongest armies of the East and West to fight the aliens...... God, I can't wait! ”
See Steve? After Lucas's frequent flickering eyes, Sun Peng smiled, blinked his eyes and asked, "Steve, I think this movie setting is quite interesting, are you interested in directing it?" ”
Listen to Sun Peng say this, Michael? Pete was in high spirits!
As an actor, he doesn't think as much about it as these two bigwigs, screenwriters and directors. Or for Pitt, as long as he can find enough investment to make a movie that explodes enough at the box office, and by the way, he can further expand his popularity in China through cooperation with Laobai, which is enough. As for whether the screenwriter or the director is the leader in this process, whose creative ideas are more important, he has no interest in caring anyway, no matter who it is, he is probably not qualified to put his beak.
And Steve? On Lucas's side, he couldn't help but be entangled: "Me? This ......"
To say that there is no interest, it must be false.
After all, this setting is very interesting, and Lucas wants to challenge it, but on the other hand, he really doesn't want to shoot exactly according to Sun Peng's script, so what's the value of being a director?
But Lucas also knows that it's hard and hard.
The name laobai is so strong that when negotiating with a film company, it often requires the other party not to change the script at will, not to increase or decrease investment at will, or even to the point of changing every line at will!
This is well-known in the film industry.
And just in Steve? When Lucas was struggling in his heart, Sun Peng suddenly stretched out three fingers and said with a smile: "Hehe, ten million dollars!" ”
"What? What do you mean? ”
This sentence was clueless, which made the two of them stunned at the same time.
"For this script, I only got paid 10 million US dollars!"
Taking a deep breath, Sun Peng smiled: "But the script gives a rough framework and some details, and the rest is done by Lucas and your team, how about it?" ”
Hear him say that, Steve? Lucas's expression immediately changed: "Sun, what do you mean ......"
Spreading his hands, Sun Peng continued to smile: "To put it simply, I only provide the framework of ideas and stories, and leave the rest to you to improve and create, so I only get a little reward...... Of course, the premise is that Steve is interested in the script! ”
After saying what he suddenly thought of, Sun Peng's heart suddenly relaxed.
Three people cooperate, the pressure on funds is too great!
Coupled with his and Lucas's identity and concept scruples, before coming here, Sun Peng didn't have any expectations for the cooperation of the three of them, until he suddenly thought of the movie "Edge of Tomorrow"!
Just thinking of this name, Sun Peng's curiosity was a little unstoppable.
When he was on Earth, he has always wondered why the box office failure of the movie "Edge of Tomorrow"?
Some say it's Warner Bros.' problem, because Edge of Tomorrow is a project left over by the previous one after a brutal internal battle that the successor doesn't want to succeed; Some people said that it was a problem with the publicity, Warner threw money into "Godzilla", and the competition for the mainline was too fierce at that time; Some people also say that it is the strength of Liangtang that makes fans irritable; Of course, some people say that the title of "Edge of Tomorrow" is too bad, which makes people think it is a literary film, so it was simply changed when Blu-ray was released...... This is also the reason why Sun Peng casually changed his name to "Tomorrow's War".
In a word, Sun Peng was very curious.
He wants to know that in this world, if there are abundant funds and a strong creative lineup, can this movie that he likes very much turn around at the box office? Of course, he was more curious, if this movie was handed over to Steve, who is good at science fiction and big productions? Lucas, can you create a movie that you like more? For example, if you modify the setting that you can get the ability after being drenched in blood, or if you have sufficient investment, you can shoot the final battle more grandly and excitingly?
In order to satisfy these curiosity of his own, Sun Peng did not mind paying some price.
Hehe, isn't it just money?
The 10 million US dollars in script money may only be a fraction of what he deserves, or even less than a tenth, but compared to the three million that the screenwriter who sold the script on the earth gets, Sun Peng should be satisfied.
In this way, the cost of the super production should be able to support Michael? Pete and Steve? Lucas?
Thinking of this, Sun Peng didn't hesitate any longer, clapped his hands and said, "Gentlemen, if Steve is interested in this movie, I think I can change my itinerary and stay in Los Angeles for a few more days, how about it?" ”
“…… Of course! ”
After hesitating for two or three seconds, Steve? Lucas took a deep breath and said, "Of course you can change your ticket, I'm very interested in this movie......"
