Chapter Fifty-Six: The First Movie
After a confession of truth, Alex finally got to the point: "Now, what we lack is the first movie that will open the company's fame, what do you have good suggestions?" ”
Speaking of this, Audrey and Monroe both fell silent and turned their heads to look at Vivien Leigh. Although the two girls have settled in Hollywood and have some popularity, they can't be compared with Vivien Leigh, and they don't know many things.
Vivien Leigh lowered her head and pondered, and only after a while did she raise her head and look at Alex and said slowly: "The movie scripts you left me are all very good, and they all have the potential to be a big hit, why don't you choose one among them?" ”
The movies left for Vivien Leigh are all good movies, and Alex believes that they will definitely be popular when they are made, and it is easy for X Films to become an instant hit. Unfortunately, this is a bit different from Alex's original idea, which wanted to set the tone of X Pictures from the beginning and serve to change the image of mutants. Obviously, most movies don't meet this requirement.
Seeing Alex's expression, Vivien Leigh didn't understand anything, sighed and said helplessly: "Alex, I know your thoughts, but there is really no need for this at first." As she spoke, Vivien Leigh paused again and admonished sincerely, "And this is a special period, and filming mutants again is likely to cause some irreparable trouble." ”
Alex was a little moved, he knew that he had forced it, and was about to nod his head in agreement, when Audrey on the side suddenly spoke.
Audrey suddenly had a flash of inspiration, stood up, walked quickly to the bookcase in the corner of the living room, took out a book from it, and looked at Alex with a smile: "It's better to shoot Tarzan of the Apes." Not a mutant though. But it's kind of related. ”
"Tarzan of the Apes?" Alex looked at the book in Audrey's hand with some surprise. "And the book?" In Alex's memory, the only memory of Tarzan of the Apes is the Disney cartoon, and he didn't know that there was such a book.
Subsequently, through Audrey's explanation, Alex realized that this "Tarzan of the Apes" is very popular in the United States, and it feels the same as the Monkey King in China. And so far, Tarzan of the Apes has been put on the big screen twice. In the future. It will also keep appearing on the big screen.
Listening to it, Alex was a little moved.
Tarzan was originally a human, but because he lived in the jungle since he was a child, he was close to apes, and when he grew up, he became the king of the jungle, Tarzan, the ape, how is this the same as the situation of mutants? It's just that the changes in Taishan are derived from the acquired natural environment, and the mutants are because of the innate X gene, which is really suitable for the opening movie of X Pictures.
What's more, Tarzan of the Apes is so popular that making a movie like this won't cause anyone to turn it off. It will not incur unnecessary trouble.
After paying attention, Alex immediately clapped: "Okay." Just shoot Tarzan of the Apes! ”
"It's really good to shoot Tarzan of the Apes, but if you want to shoot well, it's a bit troublesome." Vivien Leigh was not as impulsive as Alex, pressed Alex down, and said with some seriousness, "The plot of the movie is well known, and if you want to arouse people's interest, you need to start from other aspects......"
Without waiting for Vivien Leigh to finish speaking, Alex's psychic power enveloped the women, and he launched a telepathic transmission and came to the wild land in an instant. After 21 World Cinematic Bombardment, Alex is well aware of the importance of special effects to a movie. Shooting in a real primeval jungle is obviously much more gorgeous than setting up in a movie studio.
Looking at the lush trees around them, the women couldn't help but exclaim, "What kind of place is this?" ”
"This is a wild place that no one knows about, and it's also a temporary home for us mutants to recuperate." Alex wrapped everyone again, and teleported back to the Floating Temple, "This wild land was originally developed by aliens, what do you want, don't worry about shooting." ”
Vivien Leigh turned around and looked around, and then nodded and said, "There is no problem with shooting, but what about the actors?" ”
"My brother plays Tarzan, and I play Jenny!" As soon as Vivien Leigh finished speaking, Audrey couldn't wait to jump to her feet and shouted, her little face full of excitement.
It wasn't until Audrey finished speaking that Monroe reacted and shouted angrily: "You are too bad, not like it at all, I am the best candidate for Jenny." ”
Watching the increasingly fierce quarrel between the two women, Alex covered his head with a headache and said with a depressed face: "I don't have time to make movies, Taishan has someone else." "There are so many mutants on the floating island, Alex can't believe he can't find a suitable one.
Hearing Alex's words, the two girls immediately died down, pouted and shouted unwillingly: "Brother playing Taishan, it must be the best!" ”
At this time, Emma heard the sound and walked in, and saw that the figures of the women were stagnant, and a trace of bitterness flashed in her eyes, and then she recovered and walked over with a smile.
"Alex, what is this?" Nodding to the girls, Emma turned her head to look at Alex again, with a hint of confusion.
"Didn't I tell you about making movies before?" Alex couldn't see what Emma was thinking, and smiled a little awkwardly and explained, "The film company is called X Pictures, and Howard is already helping to set it up, and now we are discussing the company's first film." ”
"Oh?!" Emma didn't expect Alex to move so fast, and was a little surprised, "So what are you going to shoot?" ”
"Tarzan of the Apes!" Alex grabbed Emma's shoulders excitedly.
Emma clasped her hands and thought for a moment and nodded, "It's good to shoot this, but have you found all of them?" As she spoke, Emma's eyes stole a glance at Vivien Leigh and the three daughters on the side.
"I've thought about it all." Alex didn't see Emma's eyes, turned his head and pointed at Vivien Leigh's three daughters, and said with a smile, "Because of the company's special reasons, except for the three of them, I want to choose from all the other mutants, and it is best to form a complete shooting and production team." ”
The filming of Tarzan of the Apes must be in the wilderness, this is the hiding place of mutants, Alex will not be exposed anyway, and future movies will definitely be indispensable for mutants to do "special effects", so I simply set up a shooting and production team composed of all mutants from the beginning. As for the release of the movie, Alex handed it all over to Howard, and the company didn't have to be all mutants.
"It's not a problem, the students are versatile, and it shouldn't be difficult to assemble a shooting and production team." Emma is very attentive to X Academy, and she knows exactly what kind of talent is in it.
"That's good." Hearing Emma's words, Alex completely relieved himself, let go of Emma's shoulders, and announced with a chuckle, "At the same time, Emma, you will become the chairman and president of X Pictures, managing the entire company, and the shooting of all future films......"
Emma hurriedly jumped away and glared at Alex with an indignant expression: "You want to be the shopkeeper again?!" (To be continued......)
