Chapter 188: "Lifting" and "King of Kung Fu" [1/2]
It is said that since the broadcast of "Longing for the End of the World" planned by Gao Fei and Yu Qian and others, Xiong'an Racecourse has become completely famous in China.
And relying on the income of "Longing for the End of the World", Gao Fei and others finally don't have to worry about the operating expenses of the horse farm.
Therefore, after some discussion, several shareholders of the racecourse decided to adopt the membership invitation system.
In this way, it can be regarded as preventing some paparazzi and entertainment records from getting mixed in to the greatest extent.
In the future, Gao Fei and the others don't have to worry too much about leisure in the horse farm, after all, they built this horse farm to relax.
It's just that when the news spread, because it is rare to have such a safe outdoor leisure place, and it is not far from the capital.
So it didn't take long for some celebrities in the circle to come over to relax and relax.
And when Li Lianjie came to Xiong'an Racecourse again, he was surprised.
"Yes, boy, I didn't expect you to have two brushes!"
A rest room deep in the racecourse.
I saw Li Lianjie looking at Gao Fei opposite with emotion, and couldn't help nodding in praise.
Hearing this, Gao Fei didn't care at all.
Because he knew in his heart that he was simply taking advantage of a geographical advantage.
However, after chatting with Li Lianjie for a while, Gao Fei realized that he was not on vacation this time.
"Do you have a schedule for next year?"
"Yes, what, you're going to introduce me to a job?"
Gao Fei didn't care when he heard this, and immediately smiled casually.
I didn't want Li Lianjie to nod seriously when he heard this.
Seeing this, Goofy's eyes widened in surprise.
But before he could ask, he saw Li Lianjie handing him a notebook with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned:
"Whoa! That's it, let's take a look!"
Seeing his strange behavior, Gao Fei couldn't help but become more and more curious, so he took the script and read it carefully.
It was only a matter of moments before he couldn't help frowning.
……
The movie script in Goofy's hands is actually quite simple.
Its main content is to tell the story of Jason, an American teenager who is crazy about Hong Kong and Taiwan kung fu movies, because of a chance, he got a wishful gold hoop stick from an antique store in Chinatown.
Then, with the power of the golden hoop stick, he actually returned to China thousands of years ago.
Because of a coincidence, he met the kung fu master Lu Yan, Jin Yanzi and Mo Sheng, and finally the story of the Monkey King who defeated the evil forces such as the Yujiang God of War and successfully saved the Monkey King.
Because the story is cliché and the characters are not too complicated, Goofy quickly read the entire script.
But after reading it, Gao Fei felt a little strange no matter how he thought about it, so he couldn't help but look at Li Lianjie with some doubts.
Seeing his reaction like this, Li Lianjie seemed to have expected it, and immediately said helplessly:
"It's a script written by director Rob Minkoff himself."
Speaking of which, Li Lianjie was afraid that Gao Fei would not be familiar with Rob Minkoff, so he added:
"It's the one who made "The Lion King"!"
"Oh!"
As soon as these words came out, Gao Fei suddenly became stunned.
He said that it tasted weird, and it turned out that the problem was here.
But then he couldn't help but shake his head a little speechlessly.
This director is really lazy enough, didn't he just stuff the template of the Lion King Simba into the skin of Sun Wukong?
It's just that one is gradually growing into the Lion King, and the other is successfully saving Sun Wukong after hardships.
It's just that Goofy still can't figure it out.
So after hesitating for a moment, Gao Fei couldn't help but look at Li Lianjie and said:
"Uncle Jie, this book is very ordinary, how can you take on such a play?"
Hearing this, Li Lianjie shook his head helplessly and said:
"Ah Fei, you
I don't understand, that's how Hollywood plays."
Although compared with the mainland, Haolaiwu is more respectful of screenwriters, but in fact, that's what happened.
When encountering the kind of good script that can be seen at a glance, major production companies will naturally rush to ask for it, but there are not many times like this.
Sometimes there are only a few good books like this in a year.。
Most of the time, Hollywood's major film and television companies are playing puzzles like cards.
A successful director who has proven himself;
A decent script;
several actors with box office results;
Plus a nice gimmick.
When these cards come together, it's enough for the studios to come up with the money to invest.
Therefore, there are a lot of bad movies made by Hollywood every year.
It's just because the film industry system is relatively perfect, so the lower limit of bad movies is not so low.
But even so, the birth of this "King of Kung Fu" in Gao Fei's hands was very difficult.
Although Rob Minkoff's 1994 animated film "The Lion King" was a global hit, eventually grossing more than $750 million.
But that's just an animated movie after all.
Therefore, when Rob Minkoff came up with his "Double J Plan", for several years, there was no reason for the production company to invest money.
In the end, Rob Minkoff first found Li Lianjie and persuaded him to participate in the film in the form of remuneration investment, and Lionsgate agreed to invest.
But even so, there is still a gap in the investment of "The King of Kung Fu".
Hearing this, Gao Fei immediately understood.
Immediately, he couldn't help but ask tentatively:
"Uncle Jie, what do you mean...... As long as I put money in, I can act?"
Seeing him say this, Li Lianjie immediately nodded calmly.
It's not that he's flying high, on the contrary, in his opinion, he's promoting high-flying.
Because such an opportunity is really rare.
If it weren't for the relationship between him and Gao Fei, as long as he let out the news, I am afraid that there are so many people in the entertainment industry who want to rush to get in the car.
Of course, it's not enough to just have money, at least in terms of acting, appearance and popularity.
Otherwise, in the end, the movie hit the street, and they themselves will suffer.
It's just that Gao Fei thought about the book, and he was still a little hesitant.
So after pondering for a while, he immediately said directly:
"Uncle Jie, this is not a trivial matter, can you let me go back and think about it?"
Seeing him say this, Li Lianjie didn't care, and immediately waved his hand and said:
"It's okay, just tell me when you've thought about it."
Then the two stopped talking about it, turned around and actually went to the racecourse.
You must know that the big black horse "White Lion" bought by Li Lianjie is still being raised in Xiong'an Horse Farm.
For this mediocre big dark horse, Gao Fei never understood why Li Lianjie liked it so much, and even took the name of a white lion.
So this time, when Li Lianjie lost to Gao Fei again, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
Hearing this, Li Lianjie didn't sell it.
I saw him touching the sweaty hair of the big black horse affectionately, and said quite abruptly:
"I don't know why, but when I saw it for the first time at the racecourse, I thought it was related to me!"
"Perhaps, it's Buddha's fate!"
