…

The dozen or so Hollywood actresses who were waiting for Xu Kai to come over to "be lucky" to them never expected that Xu Kai was not only late, but also found various reasons to pass them all.

This undoubtedly disappointed these Hollywood actresses.

Among them, a Hollywood actress named Emily Blunt is the most disappointed, because Jon Favreau, the director of "Iron Man 2", is most optimistic about her and recommended her to Xu Kai.

In this case, Emily Blunt will of course feel that the corner of Black Widow is in her pocket.

Who would have thought that Xu Kai didn't take Jon Favreau's opinion at all, and directly passed Emily Blunt on the grounds that she was a little tall and didn't match Black Widow.

Emily Blunt can't do anything other than going to Jon Favreau's complaint to sow discord between Xu Kai and Jon Favreau.

- Whether it's Iron Man or Black Widow, the copyright is Xu Kai's, and Xu Kai accounts for half of the investment in the movie "Iron Man 2", and in addition to being the producer of "Iron Man 2", this time Xu Kai also became the co-producer of "Iron Man 2" with Kevin Feige, so don't say Jon Favreau, even Kevin Feige, I don't dare to care who Xu Kai uses to play Black Widow.

Of course, Jon Favreau is a little mustard in his heart, and he will feel that Xu Kai has not sold his face.

But—

When Jon Favreau saw that Nicole Johnson had already been pretended, he also understood why Xu Kai chose Nicole Johnson instead of Emily Blunt to play Black Widow, but Nicole Johnson was simply born for the role of Black Widow.

After the role of Black Widow is chosen, "Iron Man 2", which requires relatively few characters, can start production.

And "Shang-Chi", which was launched almost at the same time as "Iron Man 2", did not start so quickly.

In the previous life, "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" had many problems.

To sum up, there are actually two main points:

First, there is a serious problem with the background setting.

The producer of the previous "Shangqi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" was set to be that Xu Shangqi's father Xu Wenwu led his Ten Rings Army to sweep all corners of the world for thousands of years, lurking in the shadows, subverting all regimes, and rewriting history, is a very evil character and a very evil force.

Although after the filming, because of the boycott of the Chinese audience, the producer of "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" flatly denied that the role of Wenwu was not the notorious Fu Manchu, and they Marvel did not have the copyright of Fu Manchu, nor did they want to own the copyright of Fu Manchu, but just looking at the setting of Wenwu and the Ten Rings Army in "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings", it can be seen that the role of Wenwu did not completely get rid of Fu Manchu, which was hated by the Chinese.

The point is to say that lurking in the shadows, subverting all regimes, like a shit-stirring stick, this is obviously a good thing that some Western countries often do, and it is too embarrassing to put it on the heads of the Chinese.

The key point, as we all know, the Chinese who have suffered from aggression only like to defend the territory and do not like aggression, who is the person who likes aggression, who does not know?

The producers of "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" are brain-dead and reversing black and white, and they still want the Chinese audience to pay for it, isn't this wishful thinking?

Second, there are particularly serious problems with casting.

There are so many handsome and handsome actors among the Chinese who can represent the Chinese, but the producers of "Shangqi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" have to choose the ugliest Liu Simu and Awkwafina to play the male and female leads.

This looks like Tony Leung's wife is cheating, otherwise with Tony Leung's thick eyebrows and big eyes, how can he give birth to the old, ugly and greasy Liu Simu and the mediocre-looking Zhang Meng'er?

And the ugliest Awkwafina, just her appearance, the Chinese pull out a random woman is stronger than her, that is, from the country love to pull a random laughing star looks much better than her, the key, that is, the laughing star should also act funny rather than look funny, the key is that she is not in shape, so to speak, Xu Shangqi is a superhero, how blind is it, in order to not look at the beauty to look at her?

As for Liu Simu, who has been a dragon for many years because he became the male protagonist and fluttered to kill his Chinese father and lick his beautiful queen father, it belongs to the actor's personal brain-dead behavior - anyway, people have never thought of returning to China, and we Chinese should not treat him as a compatriot, anyway, just don't let him earn our Chinese's money.

In short, Xu Kai's version of "Shangqi", the plot has to be overhauled.

First of all, Xu Kai personally figured out the plot framework of "Shangqi", which is the main line of "Shangqi".

Xu Shangqi's father and mother were worldly masters like the Ancient One Master, and Xu Shangqi and his sister Xu Xialing lived with their parents and clansmen in the mysterious Tarot Village since childhood.

There are all kinds of mythical beasts in Tarot Village, such as the phoenix, the unicorn, the nine-tailed fox and other legendary Chinese beasts.

Thousands of years ago, Tarot Village had a high degree of civilization and great power.

The people of Tarot Village have lived in Tarot Village for generations, guarding the powerful demon dragon from the universe that was defeated and sealed by their ancestors......

Let's put it this way, under Xu Kai's design, Tarot Village is equivalent to the isolated and technologically advanced African country Wakanda, and it is also a powerful force guarding the earth, and in the future, Thanos will attack the earth, and Tarot Village will also be a powerful combat force, and the villagers of Tarot Village will fight against Thanos's army to defend the earth under the leadership of Xu Shangqi.

And there are two treasures that have been passed down from generation to generation in Tarot Village, the same is the Ten Rings that have the Ten Rings comparable to the Infinity Stones - the origin of the Ten Rings is quite mysterious, which was accidentally obtained by Xu Shangqi's ancestors, and has extremely powerful power, which can not only comprehensively increase the user, but also give the user eternal life, and the Ten Rings can be achieved just by wearing them, and more importantly, the Ten Rings have no obvious side effects, and they are really a super artifact that fell from the sky.

In addition, Tarot Village also has a set of armor made of Shenlong's scale armor, which is comparable to Erdman alloy in hardness, and its defense is among the best in the Marvel Universe.

Xu Shangqi and Xu Xialing have practiced martial arts since childhood, and they are inspired to guard Tarot Village with their clansmen to suppress the demon dragon sealed by their ancestors.

However, Thanos wants to unleash the dragon and work with him to find the Infinity Stones and destroy half of the cosmic creatures.

When S.H.I.E.L.D. learned of the news, they sent Black Widow and Hawkeye to inform Tarot Village that Thanos' men were going to attack Tarot Village.

But Black Widow and Hawkeye were a step late, and when they arrived in Tarot Village, Thanos' general, Proxima Centauri in the Night, had already defeated Xu Shangqi and released the demon dragon while Xu Shangqi's parents were out to visit the ancient one.

After the demon dragon fled, he became demonic and began to destroy the world with Proxima Centauri in the night, and finally entrenched himself in the magic capital of Huaguo, wantonly abusive.

When Xu Shangqi's parents learned of this, they immediately bid farewell to Master Gu Yi and returned to Tarot Village through the Gate of Time and Space.

After learning what happened, Xu Shangqi's father decided to lead the villagers of Tarot Village to build weapons, and then go to the magic capital to defeat the demon dragon.

During this period, Xu Shangqi's parents conducted a short training for Xu Shangqi, Xu Xialing, Liu Xian'er and other clansmen, and then helped Xu Shangqi accept the Ten Precepts.

After Xu Shangqi successfully subdued the Ten Rings, he put on the Divine Dragon Battle Armor, and together with his parents, he led his clansmen to find Proxima Centauri in the dark night to take revenge and defeat the Demon Dragon.

Dark Night Proxima Centauri is one of Thanos' five obsidian generals, she is extremely good at hand-to-hand combat, is a master of cosmic fighting, her fighting skills are better than most of the strong in the universe, the weapon is a sharpshooter forged by Thanos himself, as long as it is thrown, it will split into three black rays that can track the target, but any creature that touches it will die on the spot.

In short, Xu Shangqi defeated Proxima Centauri in battle, allowing her to escape from Earth with her men, and then teamed up with her parents to kill the dragon.

In order to ensure the interest of "Shangqi", Xu Kai found several top Hollywood screenwriters to fill in the details and lines for "Shangqi".

By the way, according to Xu Kai's vision, the girlfriend in the early stage of "Shangqi" is Liu Xian'er from the same village, and the girlfriend in the later stage is Captain Marvel.

Of course, the premise is that the Marvel Universe has to be able to shoot that time.

In terms of casting, Xu Kai selected all the most outstanding actors in Huaguo.

For example, Xu Shangqi's parents, Xu Kai chose two middle-aged well-known stars in Huaguo who have excellent acting skills and are handsome and beautiful.

Xu Shangqi's girlfriend, Xu Kai directly felt that Xian did not shy away from relatives and used Zhu Bing, who has both Eastern and Western beauty.

And Shangqi's sister Xu Xialing, Xu Kai also directly used Zhang Zhiwei.

The villain is Proxima Centauri in the dark night, Xu Kai found the female disciple of Master Wu Bin, the teacher of many action stars in martial arts, known as the thunderbolt girl, and won the women's Tai Chi fan championship with excellent performance in the finals of the 4th Beautiful National Wushu Championship, and also won the new generation of action actress Wang Yingying, who has won the 6th National Wushu Open Changquan and Long Gun Championships.

As for the other roles, Xu Kai found all the best actors in Huaguo and Hollywood.

In terms of directing, Xu Kai did not direct it himself - his family knows his own affairs, Xu Xingxing knows that if he is not open, his level may not be comparable to other first-class directors, the key is that this is to make Hollywood blockbusters, not what Xu Kai is good at, well...... Let's put it bluntly, Xu Kai is afraid that he will ruin his plan, and he is also afraid that what he has spent money and effort to shoot will only have a market in China, and there is no market in other countries and regions in the world.

Therefore, Xu Kaihua invited James Spielberg, one of Hollywood's best directors and a great Hollywood director who is very good at making science fiction movies, to direct "Shang-Chi", and allowed him to form his own team of "Shang-Chi".

Moreover, Xu Kai promised James Spielberg that he would only shoot without considering the production budget, and there was no upper limit on the budget.

All in all, Xu Kai's purpose in filming "Shangqi" is that as long as it is the best, there is no need to think about money.

To put it bluntly, Xu Kai never considered using "Shangqi" to make money, he is ready to use "Shangqi" to open the Hollywood film market for Chinese stars, use "Shangqi" to export culture, and use "Shangqi" to let the world re-understand China and Chinese.

But then again, Xu Kai has to have the determination to bear huge losses if he does this, after all, if this kind of science fiction movie burns special effects, there is really no upper limit.

- As soon as James Spielberg took over, he took a copy of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and said to Xu Kai, every divine beast here needs a lot of money, are you sure you want to get them all?

Xu Kai said without hesitation at the time: "You can shoot, as long as you feel it is necessary, you can do whatever you want." ”

That being said, in order to make up for it, Xu Kai opened another movie by himself - "Forrest Gump", which is ready to be used to harvest the world movie box office.

In addition, Xu Kai also studied with domestic film companies to sell the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown".

In order to make the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown" sell high, Xu Kai also came up with a framework for "Detective Chinatown" series of movies, and even directly came up with the script of "Detective Chinatown 3".

"Detective Chinatown" has a box office of more than 3 billion.

"Detective Chinatown 2" has a box office of more than 5 billion.

Now, the audience in China is looking forward to "Detective Chinatown 3".

Some experts predict that the box office of "Detective Chinatown 3" may exceed 7 billion, or even higher.

The key is that "Detective Chinatown 3" is followed by "Detective Chinatown 4" and "Detective Chinatown 5", which can even be filmed all the time, and you can also shoot TV series of "Detective Chinatown", even comics and anime, how big a market and how much profit does it have to be?

In this case, Xu Kai wants to sell the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown", and naturally many people are tempted.

For example, Brother Films and Aina Films, which made a lot of money by distributing "Detective Chinatown" and "Detective Chinatown 2".

For example, Shaolin Baoqiang and others, who doubled their worth by starring in "Detective Chinatown" and "Detective Chinatown 2".

For example, major cinema companies and major film investors.

Wait a minute......

But—

Although the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown" is good, Xu Kai is really not cheap to get.

——Xu Kai offered 5 billion to buy out all the follow-up copyrights of "Detective Chinatown".

This is an absolutely astronomical sum.

Even Brother Films, Aina Films, or the recently rising Light Film Company, can't eat the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown" alone.

But then again, don't underestimate the strength of these film companies.

One or two film companies really can't eat the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown", but these film companies can join forces.

The key is that behind these film companies are also those powerful cinema companies and film investors.

Later, after learning that Xu Kai was going to focus on Hollywood in the past two years, he should not come to compete for the domestic film box office market, so Wang Jun of the brother company took the lead and united seven natural persons, including Brother Film Company, Aina Film Company, Guangguang Film Company, Wuzhou Film Distribution Company, Sihai Film Distribution Company and Shaolin Baoqiang, to buy the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown".

But—

Due to the example of Zhao Qihang and others buying the follow-up copyright of "Ten Mile Ocean Field" in the past, Wang Jun and others kept an eye on it this time - they said that they could buy the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown" at the price offered by Xu Kai, but Xu Kai must be the director himself.

Xu Kai replied directly: "If I have this time, why do I still sell the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown"?" ”

After many negotiations between the two parties, Xu Kai finally agreed to serve as the honorary producer and one of the nominal screenwriters of "Detective Chinatown 3", as well as a cameo appearance in "Detective Chinatown 3" in the form of an ending easter egg.

Wang Jun and others were satisfied with the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown".

Selling the copyright of "Detective Chinatown" means that Xu Kai has really shifted his focus to Hollywood, trying to complete his transformation into an international superstar.

But this is only temporary, Xu Kai doesn't want to be a second-class person in a beautiful country all the time - Xu Kai just wants to take advantage of the two years when China and the beautiful country are in the honeymoon period to make more fame and fortune in the beautiful country and even the world, and by the way, make a little contribution to the cultural output of the Chinese.

After Xu Kai completes this goal, he will definitely return to his roots......
