After signing the performance agreement, Wang Lei invited a professional photographer to take a poster for Tyson. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The poster is similar to the one from his previous life, showing Tyson naked with a fierce expression, raising his hands high in celebration of victory, and wearing broken shackles on both wrists.

Wang Lei wrote the script of this action movie and revised the setting, what identity background, metaphor is not wanted, the story takes place in a prison in the United States, the prisoners are all felons in American prisons, and the protagonist Tyson is in prison for violating women.

To put it bluntly, Tyson plays the protagonist of a former heavyweight boxing champion who was imprisoned for rape and crime, and the woman he violated was Miss Beauty Pageant in the United States.

It's exactly Tyson from the original timeline!

Wang Lei originally planned to invest only $30 million in this film, but he couldn't resist Chand Kohler's shameless request to participate in the investment, so the total cost became $40 million.

The cost of $40 million is definitely a big production in the 90s!

Zhou Yuwei didn't know how to make this film, so Wang Lei handed over the film to Columbia Pictures director Brian Yoz to direct.

Although Brian Yoz directed "Midnight Bell" and "Butterfly Effect" written by Wang Lei, he did not have his own opinions, and was completely shot according to Wang Lei's storyboard script, and basically did not change the script.

Such a "sensible" and "obedient" director Wang Lei liked it very much, so he cooperated with him again.

Anyway, my brother only serves as an action director, so he won't be too tired!

There were almost 500 media reporters at the press conference, and when these media reporters saw that not only Wang Lei was present at the press conference, but even the heavyweight boxing champion Tyson was also on the stage, they all stood up excitedly.

Why is Tyson here?

Could it be that Wang Lei felt that his strength was too invincible and didn't want to stay in the super middleweight division, so he decided to directly cross the three divisions and jump to the heavyweight division to fight Tyson?

I knew that this speculation was impossible at all, but I couldn't stop the media reporters present from thinking so.

No way, who let Wang Lei once have a fight with Tyson in Las Vegas, and almost broke Tyson's egg!

However, when the media reporter saw a huge movie poster hanging on the stage. It dawned on me.

It turned out that Wang Lei asked Tyson to make a movie!

Actually asked Tyson to make a movie?

Aren't the two of them "enemies" who just fought? How did it work together?

After Wang Lei on stage personally introduced the genre of the new film and the list of actors for each role, the media reporters in the audience were speechless again.

Prison action movie?

Tyson is not playing the villain, but the protagonist?

Next to Tyson, this "little white face", who looks like the protagonist, is the villain?

Wang Lei's brain didn't get into the water, right?

When the press officer on the stage announced that he could ask questions, the media reporters in the audience raised their hands.

The first to be qualified to ask questions was a reporter from the Los Angeles Times. I only heard him ask Wang Lei: "Wang, you said that your new film is a prison film, and Tyson plays the prisoner, right?" What crime did he commit and go to prison? ”

Wang Lei replied: "Oh, this, Tyson raped Miss America and imprisoned him." He was sentenced to six years in prison, but he was released after only three years in prison! ”

Tyson, who was on the side, rolled his eyes when he heard this, thinking that it was clear that the reporter was asking about his role, why did Wang Lei mention his name, as if he had committed rape and was imprisoned?

The media reporters in the audience were all surprised when they heard this.

The protagonist is actually a forcible traitor, and listening to Wang Lei's tone, it is obvious that he has not been wronged!

Is it really suitable to let such a person be the protagonist?

Could it be that Wang Lei's new film is an R-rated film or even a dark film?

Media reporters are more interested!

Soon someone asked again: "Wang, will you participate in this film?" ”

Wang Lei said: "No, I serve as the action director!" ”

"Why don't you participate? I think fans and boxing fans around the world want to see you and Tyson fight on screen! ”

"Sooner or later, I'm going to move up to heavyweight. When the time comes, you'll see me and Tyson fighting in the ring, so why bother? ”

"Wang, do you have any plans to participate in the movie? Or do you just write scripts or invest? ”

"If there's a good role for me, I'll consider participating!"

"Do you mean that none of the characters in your film are very good?"

"No, it's just not for me!"

"Wang, why did you come up with the idea of having Tyson play the lead role in this film? Aren't you worried that he'll smash up? ”

"Don't worry, because Tyson is very suitable, the protagonist of this film is simply based on Tyson, and he doesn't need Tyson to have acting skills, he just needs to perform in his true colors."

Tyson, who was on the side, rolled his eyes again when he heard this.

What is it called to build on him. What is a true color performance?

In your eyes, I Tyson is a prisoner who has committed rape and crime?

Finally, a reporter ignored Tyson's ugly face and boldly asked, "Wang, as you know." Tyson has a short temper and disobeys discipline, what if he loses his temper and doesn't listen to the director during filming, or even puts on a direct show? ”

Wang Lei clenched his fists and said expressionlessly: "This situation will not happen, although I am not a director." But the action director is still one of the investors, I will supervise behind the scenes during the shooting, and if anyone dares to disobey or make trouble, I will teach him how to behave in minutes! ”

“……”

Looking at Wang Lei's action of clenching his fists on the stage, the media reporters in the audience were speechless again.

Are you blatantly threatening to beat someone?

The object of the threat is still Tyson?

What made the media reporters in the audience even more speechless was that Tyson on the stage listened to Wang Lei's words, but he didn't say anything, as if he had "yielded"!

What's going on?

Did Tyson lose his temper after taking the "Anger Management" course or was he secretly repaired by Wang Lei and became honest and obedient?

The media reporters are all puzzled!

……

After the press conference, Wang Lei did not leave New York immediately and returned to San Francisco, but went with Zhou Yuqiang to a Wall Street company to meet a billionaire named Ron Pereman.

Ron Perreman is a businessman who graduated from the Walton School of Business and made his fortune by buying and selling companies.

This guy bought Marvel Comics last year for $85 million.

That's right, it's the famous Marvel company in the previous life!

Wang Lei was busy with the competition and the acquisition of Columbia's Samsung TV Group last year, but he forgot to buy Marvel, which was in an operational crisis.

But it's not too late, because Roin Pereman just wants to make money. There are no plans to build a Marvel Universe empire. Therefore, as long as Wang Lei comes up with a price that makes him happy, Pereman will not hesitate to sell the character copyright of Marvel superheroes.

In the nineties of the original timeline, Pereman successively sold the rights to classic characters such as Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Daredevil, X-Men and Hulk to companies such as Fox and Sony at a low price.

Netflix, which Mr. Wang set up after acquiring Colombia's Samsung Television Group Inc., made a "Friends" last year and made a name for himself. However, it is not enough for a TV production company to have only one TV series.

Wang Lei originally wanted to put those classic American dramas in his previous life. For example, "Prison Break", "Lost", "CSI Crime Scene Investigation", and "The X-Files" were filmed, but when he was struggling with which American drama to shoot first, he suddenly thought of the "Daredevil" and "Jessica Jones" series produced by Netflix.

In the previous life, the "Daredevil" produced by the "Netflix" company produced a season with only thirteen episodes, and the reputation was not ordinarily high, and Wang Lei himself liked to watch it.

So Wang Lei decided to shoot "Daredevil" first.

Thinking of "Daredevil" to Marvel, Wang Lei decided to go to Marvel to buy the adaptation rights of several superheroes. Build a TV series in the Marvel Universe.

He even considered playing one of the superheroes himself, or hiring a Chinese actor.

After finding out about Ron Pereman, the current owner of Marvel, through McKale, Wang Lei brought Zhou Yuqiang to meet him.

Ron Pereman welcomed Wang Lei's visit.

Or that he welcomed Wang Lei's money.

For people like Ron Pereman, those with hundreds of millions of net worth are his valued guests, no matter who they are!

What's more, Wang Lei still came to talk to him about business and send him money!

McKel's analysis is correct, although Ron Pereman bought Marvel for $85 million last year, he doesn't attach much importance to Marvel and just wants to make money.

Therefore, when Wang Lei proposed to buy the copyrights of several classic Marvel characters, Pereman agreed without even thinking about it.

So after two or three hours of negotiations, Pereman finally packaged and sold the rights to superheroes such as Spider-Man, X-Men, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Wonder Man, Iron Fist and Punisher, as well as the villains who opposed them, to Wang Lei.

Wang Lei paid 120 million US dollars for this!

Wang Lei originally wanted the copyright adaptation of the Avengers led by Iron Man, Captain America and Thor. But Pereman is a bit insatiable, Wang Lei doesn't want to pay too high a price, and feels that buying the copyright of so many characters is easy to become the target of public criticism.

What's more, he only has one "Netflix" company, and he can't shoot too many roles, so he gave up the Avengers.

As for the characters of the Fantastic Four and Blade Warriors, Wang Lei really doesn't like it.

After acquiring the adaptation rights of superheroes such as Spider-Man and X-Men from Ron Pereman, he and Zhou Yuqiang went to Netflix's headquarters and summoned the company's deputy general manager Reed Hastings and the heads of several important positions to meet to discuss the plan to make a new TV series.

At the meeting, Wang Lei took out the adaptation rights of several Marvel superheroes that he had just acquired and threw out two ideas.

One is to make an X-Men series of TV series featuring mutants such as Wolverine, Professor X, and Magneto.

One is to make a series of "Defenders" series featuring Spider-Man, Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Wonder Man.

The former, Wang Lei, plans to make an American drama like "Hero". Of course, the content must be carefully designed, and it cannot be made up randomly and cause the more you shoot, the worse it gets.

The latter, Wang Lei, plans to directly copy the "Daredevil" and "Jessica Jones" series in his previous life, but the action design needs to be modified. It's best to ask a Xiangjiang action director to guide you.

Wang Lei has always felt that everything in the American drama "Daredevil" is good, but the action scenes are too bad.

Reed Hasjans has already followed Wang Lei's instructions and recruited enough excellent screenwriters for Netflix, so he doesn't need to be involved in adapting "X-Men" and "Daredevil" at all.

Wang Lei just threw out an outline and side lines that were only a few thousand words, and ended the meeting. (To be continued.) )

PS: I'm scared to death, I forgot the time. It's almost twelve o'clock, so I quickly uploaded it and continued to ask for a monthly pass. Yesterday's single-chapter ticket request led to a monthly ticket increase of more than 100 tickets, brothers are so powerful, thank you!
