Bernard, Office of the Chairman.

Yu Dong slowly closed the script on the desk, and the cover of the script read the two big words "Super Body".

The script written by Li Mu himself, Yu Dong naturally had to deal with it with twelve points of spirit, and after he received the script, he couldn't wait to read it immediately without delaying for almost a minute.

The story of "Super Body" is actually very simple, a woman accidentally gets involved in a DP transaction due to a friend, and the criminals surgically sew CPH4 into the woman's abdomen.

According to the script, CPH4 is a substance secreted by pregnant women in the sixth week, and the amount secreted is very rare. For infants, CPH4 contains energy like an atomic bomb, and it is this substance that provides the necessary energy for the formation of the skeleton in the fetus.

The woman was kicked in the abdomen for resisting the criminals, which caused the CPH4 bag to break and the drug to seep into the woman's body.

However, instead of dying, the woman found that her physical strength and intelligence had been rapidly improved under the effect of drugs, so she had incredible superpowers such as telepathy, telepathy, and time and space travel.

If you ignore the obviously unreasonable parts of this script, it is still very emotional to read, but when insiders look at the market potential of a script, they generally want to find a reference.

Which movie is the reference for this screenplay?

"Resident Evil"?

Tomb Raider?

Or Catwoman?

A yellow heroine, a superhero movie, will end up with a situation that the overseas market doesn't like and the domestic market is not used to?

To be honest, Yu Dong feels that the risk of this movie is really not small, and without the escort of Cheng Long and Li Lian's overseas influence, the probability of losing money in the end is still very high.

But Berner has to invest in this movie, because this is Li Mu's movie, because Yu Dong is optimistic about Li Mu.

Not to mention anything else, with the market popularity of "Hurricane Rescue" and "Assassin", as long as the sequels of these two movies are made, it is basically equivalent to sitting and counting the money!

Now Li Mu wants to shoot "Super Body", you don't vote, so do you want to vote when Li Mu wants to shoot "Hurricane Rescue 2" or "Assassin 2" in the future? When the time comes, people and accept your investment or not?

Yu Dong has been in the mall for many years, and he will not be unable to calculate this small account.

So he dialed Li Mu's phone as soon as he read the script.

"Director Li, I'm Yu Dong."

"Mr. Yu."

"That's right, I've read the script of "Super Body", it's very good, especially the part where the heroine and her mother talk on the phone, it's very touching, and finally the heroine travels through time and space and intersects with human grandmother Lucy's fingers, it's very shocking, I'm very optimistic about this project, when do you think we'll get together and discuss the specific investment details?"

The other end of the line said, "Or next Monday." ”

Yu Dongdao: "Okay, then next Monday." ”

"By the way, "Hurricane Rescue" has been in theaters for more than a year, right? Director Li never thought about making a sequel? It's a pity not to make a sequel to such a popular movie. ”

Li Mu on the other end of the phone said: "Actually, I already have a rough plot of "Hurricane Rescue 2" in my mind, but I always feel that this story is really a little not amazing enough, especially compared with the first part, the plot of the second part is a little too ordinary after all, so I haven't started the filming of the second part for a long time." ”

Yu Dong was a little sad after hearing this: "I said Director Li, you think the story of the sequel is ordinary, maybe the audience just thinks the sequel is very amazing?" We can't do the things of others, don't you say? ”

The other end of the phone said: "Yes, I will write the script of "Hurricane Rescue 2" when I have time, but I may not come to shoot it myself, and I may have to find a more reliable director and hand over the script to the other party to shoot." ”

"Okay, then we'll make up our minds."

……

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, two brothers, also finished reading the script quickly.

"What do you think?" Wang Zhongjun said.

Wang Zhonglei pondered for a moment: "It's hard to say, the theme of female superheroes is rare in the world where there are really successful examples." ”

"But Li Mu has not made a mistake so far, if the success of "Hurricane Rescue" is due to Cheng Long's personal influence, and the success of "Assassin" is due to the influence of Cheng Long and Li Lian, then what about "The Hunger Games"? Selling nearly 20 million copies of the novel in the United States in one year, Li Mu's grasp of Western tastes is absolutely top-notch. Wang Zhongjun said.

Wang Zhonglei said: "We want to invest in the project of "Super Body", and at the same time, the script of "The King of Kung Fu" is also shown to Li Mu, his vision is very accurate, we might as well listen to his opinion." ”

Wang Zhongjun nodded.

……

"The King of Kung Fu"?

Huashang Chairman's Office.

Li Mu looked at the script sent by the Huayi brothers, and his mood was quite complicated.

He originally thought that after Cheng Long and Li connected the limelight of the Double J duel was taken away by "Assassin", the project of "The King of Kung Fu" would disappear, but now it seems that "The King of Kung Fu" has not disappeared, but may be greatly advanced.

Now the Wang brothers ask him what he thinks of the script, what should he say?

Say he's not optimistic about the script?

Now that it is clear that he is optimistic or not that this project will be launched, why does he have to pour a basin of cold water on people?

So the script is very good?

Li Mu didn't want to say this kind of obviously contrary to his will.

So after thinking about it again, Li Mu called Wang Zhonglei's mobile phone.

"Mr. Wang."

"Mr. Li, by the way, have you read the script that I sent you?"

"I've seen it, and that's what I'm calling for."

"How?"

"To tell you the truth, I can't read the script very thoroughly."

Wang Zhonglei groaned: "Can't see through? ”

"Well, I can't tell what's too good, I can't say what's bad, in short, I just can't see through."

Wang Zhonglei was silent for a moment and then said, "Okay, I understand." ”

……

Li Lianhua's home.

Li Lianhua and Li Xuehua sisters sat across the coffee table.

"Sister, I think you should go all out to fight for the role of the heroine of "Super Body"." Li Xuehua persuaded.

Li Lianhua was a little hesitant in her heart.

At present, Huayi Brothers is preparing a new movie "The King of Kung Fu", which is still starring Cheng Long and Li Lian, Cheng Long and Li Lian's last collaborative movie was "Assassin", which grossed $355 million worldwide, and she is one of the heroines. Now that this movie has been released for almost a month, she can clearly feel that her popularity is growing rapidly every day because of this movie, and even faintly has the meaning of the first domestic actress, Zhang Ziyi is known as the international chapter, but in terms of international influence, Li Lianhua thinks that she can definitely stabilize her now.

And all this is thanks to the movie "Assassin" co-starring Cheng Long and Li Lian.

Now there is another movie that Cheng Long and Li Lian are about to collaborate on, although this time she can only fight for the role of the second female lead, but she still thinks that this will help her further break into the Hollywood market.

But apparently her sister Li Xuehua has a different opinion.

"Sister, no matter how good "The King of Kung Fu" is, after all, all you can get is only the role of the second woman, and in the movie starring Cheng Long and Li Lian, these two people will always be the absolute protagonists, and the other roles are destined to be only foils."

"And the script of "Super Body" is different, in the script of "Super Body", the heroine is the absolute protagonist, if you are analogous, it is Alice in "Resident Evil", if the quality of the movie is not bad in the end, then this is a character that can be remembered by many fans forever, haven't you always dreamed of playing a role similar to Alice? Now the opportunity is in front of you. ”

"And you also know Li Mu's strength."

……

At noon, Li Mu was cooking at home, when the mobile phone rang suddenly, he picked it up and looked at the caller ID, and then pressed the connect button.

"Aunt Liu."

On the other end of the phone was Liu Yifei's mother, Liu Xiaoli.

"Director Li, didn't bother you, did you?"

"No, Aunt Liu, do you have something?"

"Well, I heard that you wrote another script, I wonder if there are any suitable characters in it? I don't usually read to me a lot, saying that if you come across your script, you must help her try to get it. ”

Li Mu pondered for a moment and said, "If you have time, you and Yifei will come to my company, let Yifei read the script first." ”

"Okay, then I and I will go to Director Li's company tomorrow?"

"Okay."

Then Li Mu said the address of his company, and the two immediately hung up the phone.

Regarding who the heroine Lucy wants to use, in fact, Li Mu already had three candidates in mind when he was writing the script - Li Lianhua, Zhang Ziyi, and Liu Yifei, he thinks that all three of them should be able to play Lucy, but who to use depends on the schedules of the three and their respective wishes.
