Chapter 32: A New Script

I have to say that Liu Yifei's appearance can really fight.

Although Zhao Linger in the camera at this time is not as amazing as next year's little dragon girl, Zhao Ling'er, who is still a little baby fat, still has a different charm.

After watching for a while, Zuo Mu left the set and returned to the rest area.

It's not that he's lazy, he really has nothing to do.

There are more than a dozen producers in "Fairy Sword 1", basically all the work is done, and the director is also powerful, he is basically here to make soy sauce.

I was really bored, so I simply found a pen and paper to conceive the "La La Land" that I had planned to shoot before.

This is a song and dance film, Zuo Mu originally planned to let two singers and actors star, Chen Yixun and Yang Qianhua.

Yang Qianhua is easy to do, originally she would make some movies every year, but I don't know if God E is still in conflict with the emperor.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zuo Mu still crossed out the four words "La La Land" on the paper and wrote the five words "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".

He still plans to make money first.

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" invested $110 million, and the global box office recovered $470 million, a 400% return, is a very successful commercial film.

And he intends to copy it as it is, without making any changes, so that he can attract money abroad to a greater extent.

I have to admit that before the mainland film industry took off in 04, the foreign market was still more fragrant.

After writing the title of the play, he still has to confirm whether Fox has started this project now.

"Old man, there is something I want you to ask me about."

Zuo Mu called the old man.

"You say." Old Man Zou replied.

"Let the people at Lionsgate ask if Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are available, I have a movie I want to make for them."

"Yo, you're ready to make a new movie so soon?" Old Man Zou said with a smile.

"I'm short of money." Zuo Mu said what he thought in his heart.

"Wait, I'll ask you."

The old man rolled his eyes out of thin air, but he knew that Zuo Mu's kid had earned at least four or five billion yuan from "Source Code", and of course, he had also helped Jiahe earn more than 400 million.

Hung up the phone, Zuo Mu began to write the script hard.

The plot of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is not complicated, it tells the ridiculous story of two agents who meet by chance during a mission, and then walk together without their identities.

Zuo Mu liked this movie very much in his previous life, it seemed to be a popcorn movie, but it actually explored some problems between husband and wife.

wrote two large pages, the more Zuo Mu wrote, the more excited he became, and the picture in his mind became clearer and clearer, even Liu Xiaoli, who had been standing behind him for a long time, did not notice it.

Liu Xiaoli originally wanted to talk to Zuo Mu again, but she still felt that the Xiangjiang market was very important to her daughter.

After looking around, I saw Zuo Mu who was full of hard work in the rest area.

Walking behind him, Liu Xiaoli saw the content on the paper.

This is? Writing a screenplay?

Liu Xiaoli didn't bother and waited quietly.

That's it, one writes one person, etc.

When it was getting late, Zuo Mu was still immersed in the script.

Liu Xiaoli was already stunned.

She had never seen anyone write a script like this, it was as if they were copying a book, all the time.

Doesn't he have to think?

He didn't write until his hands were a little soft, Zuo Mu stopped, rubbed his wrists, and looked at the seven pages in front of him with satisfaction.

There is still no ending, and he plans to go back and write it again.

"Director Zuo, let's have dinner together in the evening?"

The voice from behind startled Zuo Mu, and when he looked back, Liu Xiaoli was looking at him with a smile on her face.

"Auntie, why are you here?" Zuo Mu slowed down and wondered.

"When you're tired of standing, come and rest." Liu Xiaoli lied casually, so that she would not say that she had waited for him for a long time.

"Okay, I'll invite my aunt to eat." Zuo Mu was not easy to refuse, and after sorting out the script, he proposed to invite him.

In a private room in a restaurant.

Zuo Mu was stared at a little unnaturally by Liu Tianxian on the other side.

He was originally going to invite Hu Ge and a few actors, but as soon as everyone heard that Liu Xiaoli was also going, they all said that they had something to do.

"That, Auntie, you can order whatever you like, I don't know your taste." Zuo Mu handed over the menu a little nervously.

And then perceive something.

No, how can I be like my mother-in-law, I'm nervous about a bubble teapot!

"Sissi, you can order it." Liu Xiaoli handed the menu to her daughter.

Liu Tianxian called the waiter, and after pointing out a few of the most expensive dishes on the menu, he felt that his anger had subsided.

Zuo Mu's sentence "The lines are a little worse" she still remembers.

"Director Zuo, I'm sorry, I inadvertently read a little bit of the script you wrote when I was in the rest area, and I replaced the wine with tea, please apologize to Director Zuo." Liu Xiaoli raised her glass.

She just looked at it a little.

This thing is quite taboo, after all, the script is easy to plagiarize.

Liu Xiaoli raised her glass awkwardly, waiting for Zuo Mu to respond.

"Auntie, it's okay." Zuo Mu got up and touched his glass.

After all, even if you read the script, no one will necessarily invest.

"Director Zuo, has this started preparing for a new movie?" Liu Xiaoli asked with a little relief.

"Still writing a script." Zuo Mu replied.

"Is the role decided?" Liu Xiaoli continued to ask.

Of course, Zuo Mu understood what she meant, and she just wanted her daughter to play a role.

"It's settled." Zuo Mu directly blocked her back words.

He is not Liu Tianxian's licking dog, and he doesn't want to have anything too deep with her.

There may be opportunities for everyone to cooperate in the future, but certainly not now.

Liu Xiaoli didn't have any expression, just smiled and chatted with Zuo Mu about family life.

Liu Tianxian listened silently on the side.

Night....

Everything works fine.

Zuo Mu returned to the hotel to finish writing the rest of the script, and the next thing was to wait for the reply from the Lion Gate.

He remembered that in his previous life, "Smith" and his wife were released in mid-05, and the filming time should have been at the end of 04.

You have to get the movie on file before Fox.

In the next few days, Zuo Mu basically didn't go to the set of "Fairy Sword" much, and perfected the script in the hotel.

On May 25th, Lionsgate finally came back with news that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt now have schedules.

Zuo Mu, who heard the news, was very happy, and he wanted to go back to Xiangjiang to discuss with Old Man Zou first.

"What, how much do you say to invest?" Old Man Zou couldn't believe his ears.

"A hundred million dollars." Zuo Mu reported the investment amount again.

Old Man Zou was a little uncomfortable breathing.

"Do you know how much money Golden Harvest has now?"

Zuo Mu shook his head, he never cared about things, and he never paid attention to these.

Old Man Zou's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water.

100 million US dollars, which is almost a billion Hong Kong dollars.

Golden Harvest can take it, but isn't it really worth breaking the bank to make a movie?

"Can you guarantee to make money?" Old Man Zou sent out a soul torture.
