"Frank is a courier, not a courier in Hong Kong, Hong Kong, the stronger and the like, but a courier who specializes in providing courier services for criminals or gangsters, he used to be a special soldier, and after retiring from the army, he did this business in Hong Kong, New York, Paris, Marseille or some other city that is not his nationality, he is excellent in martial arts, he is excellent in driving, he likes to be alone, and has his own courier rules, such as never asking about the employer's situation, not opening the package and checking the goods privately, Once an agreement is made, it must be done, and so on. Huo Dongjun told Chen Musheng about the setting of Frank, the protagonist of "Death Express".

Chen Musheng took a piece of paper from Huo Dongjun's desk and wrote down some characteristics of this protagonist, retired special forces, sticking to the rules, and so on.

"You don't have to record these things, if you want to read them, you can read the outlines I wrote, maybe the handwriting is not as beautiful as yours. Huo Dongjun saw Chen Musheng record some of the words he said and said to him.

"Death Express" is a movie that Huo Dongjun was very impressed by in his last life, not because the heroine in that movie is Shu Qi, but because the fighting action in that movie has a Chinese beauty, Huo Dongjun also went to understand the situation for this reason, this movie has two directors, the foreign director Huo Dongjun did not remember the name, but remembered the name of Yuan Kui.

Yuan Kui was responsible for all the action shots of the whole movie, as well as tailor-made training + planning for the actors, designing elaborate and novel fighting moves, such as lubricating the enemy, and woolen sweaters as offensive weapons.

Making science fiction films, Huo Dongjun doesn't understand Hollywood's market, so he doesn't dare to act rashly, and although he has never been to Hollywood, he has been in the film industry in this life, and hearsay also knows that Hollywood is not a place where you can make a lot of money immediately by investing money in it, many filmmakers use a seemingly grand plan and bright prospects to attract investors to take out the money, and then start to burn money, Huo Dongjun can't afford to burn science fiction films.

"The Terminator", the movie that made James Cameron famous, now people will say that the investor ee Orion Film Company has a unique vision, but he didn't know the depression of the investors at that time, James Cameron swore to the investors that this is a low-budget movie, James Cameron knows very well that the script he wrote is not a small cost, and the special effects in it can't be like those American horror films, the ghosts are rough and simple, and even running around in a sack can play a murderer, Every movement of the metal skeleton, every picture, needs money to support, he knows very well, and then he lied to the investors and got four million dollars.

But the film ended up costing nearly $7 million, nearly doubling its price.

Therefore, when he is not clear about Hollywood's market, Huo Dongjun feels that it is necessary to stay away from science fiction films, because even such well-known directors will deceive investors, but action movies are different, first of all, Huo Dongjun is very clear about action movies, even if the United States and Hong Kong are different in terms of spending on special effects and stunts, but the United States has Zhang Wulang who understands the market, and taking a step back, the first movie to test the waters, it is best to use the genre films he understands, Huo Dongjun knows best, there is no doubt that it is an action movie, which is why he chose "Death Express".

The whole movie of "Death Express" looks pleasing to the eye in terms of action, but it also has hard injuries, of course, this is also Huo Dongjun's memory of two lives, so he will say that this movie has hard injuries, with the memory of the previous life and the experience of being a director in this life, this movie is actually very old-fashioned, Hollywood movies in the mid-nineties are everywhere, it is difficult to arouse the audience's interest, but now it is the end of the eighties, this kind of plot is not too abrupt, from the chat with Chen Musheng, Huo Dongjun knows that the current Hollywood old-fashioned movie is the story of two police partners working together to catch a thief, and a character like Frank, a courier who is both good and evil, should have some impact on the Yankees who are tired of watching police movies.

"What about the outline?" Chen Musheng immediately asked when he heard Huo Dongjun say that he could read the outline ⊥ himself.

Huo Dongjun took out a simple synopsis ⊥of the story from his desk drawer and handed it over: "It's just that the storyline is very simple, and the characters and so on are not perfect. ”

Chen Musheng quickly finished reading the two manuscripts of "Death Express", looked up and asked Huo Dongjun: "Jun Shao, do you really want to make a Western film?"

"Did I call you here to admire your beauty? Of course it's true. Huo Dongjun picked up his coffee and said.

Chen Musheng rubbed his hands and said with some excitement: "I'll help you improve the script and sample?Your idea is great, this outline seems to be closer to the style of Western films than the "Shocking Thirty-six Hours" that we made for Golden Harvest. ”

"You can take it slowly, if you like it. Huo Dongjun leaned back in his chair and said.

Chen Musheng knows Hollywood movies very well, Huo Dongjun came to him in the hope that he could give himself some ideas, and now he mentions that he wants to improve the script, of course Huo Dongjun will not refuse, even if Chen Musheng's perfect script deviates from the story in Huo Dongjun's mind, Huo Dongjun can completely overturn and revise it.

"Will you find some ghost stars to play then?" Chen Musheng carefully put away Huo Dongjun's fluttering two-page manuscript paper and asked Huo Dongjun.

"Do you think it would be good to play the leading role?" Huo Dongjun asked with a smile.

"Bruce Wesley, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Chen Musheng said the name of the Hollywood movie star excitedly.

Huo Dongjun's eyes widened slightly, and the people Chen Musheng said were middle-aged movie stars who have been very popular in Hollywood in recent years, especially Mel Gibson and Arnold Schwarzenegger, one of them has become Hollywood's first-line superstars with the "Sky Cannon" series and the other with "Terminator".

"Have you ever thought about how much these guys are going to be paid? These guys make dollars. ”

Chen Musheng smiled: "Jun Shao is not short of money now, I have heard people, your gambling boat is coming to fight for money, by the way, the script says that the female number one is Chinese, which one are you going to call to act?" Let me guess, your girlfriend Zhang Le"

Huo Dongjun shook his head: "Wrong." ”

"Wrong? No, the movies made by Dongyi during this time, Zhang Le came from the female number one, and in the released "God of Gamblers", she was the girlfriend of the God of Gamblers, and in the unreleased "Saint of Gambling", she became the girlfriend of the Saint of Gamblers, I can't guess wrong. Chen Musheng took off his cap and scratched his head: "Could it be that Jun Shao, you have changed your girlfriend?"
