Chapter 258: This is Stephen Fang's strength!
Some people may not know what the concept of the multi-million dollar investment of Ghost Record won more than $200 million at the box office in North America and $340 million in the world at the cost of $14 million.
You must know that the Fast and Furious III produced by Universal Pictures, with an investment of 85 million US dollars, the final box office revenue was only more than 150 million.
If Fang Yu's Resident Evil is compared with vegetarian chicken, it is equivalent to that the five-star hotel has closed down, and the hot pot restaurant opposite the hotel has made money.
The money is still small, and it is an exaggeration to make more money than a five-star hotel!
And the ghost record is even more outrageous!
Again, that example.
The investment of vegetarian chicken is still equal to a five-star hotel, and the ghost record is just a food stall in the alley opposite the hotel, there is not even a store, and those who see the fine have to run away, and the diners are chasing after the kind of mobile food stall.
Lao Mei doesn't look at anything else.
It depends on whether you are strong or weak.
If you are strong, he will be weak.
If you are weak, he will ignore you.
Fang Yu's arrogance has won the attention of the world's top management.
When you think about it, it's true.
Stephen Fang's current record is 2:0 after he left for Hollywood, and he has not tried to lose a single defeat.
The two "small costs" have made so much money, if he has more opinions in the group, how can it be better than nothing, right?
The key is that the background of this drama is still an oriental background, and there is not even a yellow-skinned one in the screenwriter group, so I can't say it.
The global side also discussed for a day, and one night, Fang Yu received a call and asked him to negotiate the script.
is the same as when the new police story, although Fang Yu doesn't really have the ability to write a story, he at least knows how to write what the audience hates, and how to write it will collapse at the box office.
Avoiding the original mistakes and avoiding the original biggest slot can save a large part of the word-of-mouth and box office losses.
Accompanied by the big beauty Gal Gadot, Fang Yule flew to Hollywood.
When he came to Universal Pictures, the first thing he did was not to move the script.
The first knife he used was to "cut" the actor!
"Chop" the villain actor candidate!
"This actor, Anthony Perry Huang, I don't like it, substitution."
In the conference room, the director, three white screenwriters, and two white producers were slightly stunned.
Immediately, Petlaka Torancy, a high-level global executive, nodded, "Of course, I believe in your vision, then we will change." β
As a co-producer, it is very easy to move a small actor, Fang Yu opened his mouth, and the actor was replaced.
"I've read the script, and I have to say that Mr. Stephen Sommos's script is pretty good."
Fang Yu first agreed with screenwriter Stephen Sommers's script, and then changed his words, "But I have seen too many shadows of the first and second mummies." β
"Like here." Fang Yu pointed to the notebook, "Alex O'Connor, the son of legendary explorer Rick O'Connor and Evelyn, dug the great and terrifying Dragon Emperor out of the ground, allowing it to see the light of day again and have a chance to resurrect. β
"I remember that in the second part, it was also his son Alex O'Connor who got the magic weapon that summoned the Scorpion King, and the two heroes and heroines had no choice but to go to the dangerous place and go on an adventure."
"Another example, similar to the group of grave keepers, the collision with the group of gravediggers, in the three mummies, you are replaced by the warlord and the undead Shion and her daughter."
"Even the boss is exactly the same as the green. Why is Aster also the same as the ancient Egyptian pet in the second part, green emperor? β
"It's too similar, like it was carved out of a mold, isn't it?"
The main creative team looked at each other.
Stephen Fong was right!
This Mummy III is completely a copy of the scripts of the first two films.
How did the boss come, how did the boss not come, who is the opponent, who are the reinforcements, the three dramas are exactly the same!
Daredevils, grave keepers, gravediggers, monsters of the ancient world who try to bring disaster to the world.
It's so similar no matter how you look at it
"The script is good, and I wanted to add some details and remove something that was too stereotypical."
"For example, when I saw the plot of Shion's daughter fighting the adventurer's son when she appeared as a grave keeper, I knew that these two would definitely become a couple."
"Oh my God, what age is it, why do you still use Asian women with white men, it's too old-fashioned!"
"Why can't Aster's child be a baby boy? Why can't it be the mysterious yellow-skinned young man and the great Oxfordshire adventurer couple who join hands to seal the Dragon Emperor? β
"And here, this one is even more."
"The British Museum wants to return the immortal diamonds of Great Xia, so the legendary explorer Rick O'Connor and his wife Evelyn have been invited."
"This is the most sci-fi and fantastical plot in the whole script."
"Ten-year-old children know that the British Museum has countless antique collections from all countries and regions around the world, and the well-preserved cultural relics there are more complete than those in the national museums of various countries, so such a museum will return the treasures?"
"Don't make me laugh"
"At the beginning of the story, Alex O'Connor wanted to dig up the Dragon Emperor for archaeological work, but the problem was that his family was a British merchant, but in China, he was clearly a tomb robber!"
"On one side is the British Museum returning the collections, and on the other side the British people are robbing the tombs. They've done all the good and bad things, right? β
"Is it reasonable that this has gone against the original intention of the legendary adventurer Rick O'Connor, who was working to protect the artifacts, while his son was robbing the tomb?"
"Britain won't return the treasures, and Rick O'Connor's son can't rob tombs in the name of archaeology, as far as I can see, everything has to be changed!"
"Advance the era by a few years and change it to the second station!"
"The enemy is no longer a warlord, but a Fassi legion!"
"Rick O'Connor's family, no more daredevils, they have accidentally obtained the secret of immortality, and they want to find out, but on the way, they are robbed of the parchment scroll containing the secret by Fasita, and a great adventure across the Pacific begins!"
"The naΓ―ve Faxi Legion thought that the prerequisite for immortality was to resurrect the Dragon Emperor, but the Dragon Emperor turned out to be far more terrifying than they imagined! You don't need to be bound by them at all! β
"The daredevils have been replaced by the Fasi Legion, and the protagonist group has become the savior who wipes his ass!"
"The Faxi Legion was completely annihilated by the Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Emperor's invincible terracotta warriors, and at the moment when the Dragon Emperor was preparing to carry out its terrifying plan, the protagonist group all appeared!"
"The Rick O'Connor family! The tomb keeper family led by Ziyuan joined hands to seal the Dragon Emperor! β
"The story ends happily, and the only ones who are hurt are the German and Neon audiences."
"The Dragon Emperor has shown his terrifying strength as the Great Xia Monarch! He slaughtered the Fassi Legion, and the mighty Dragon Emperor was even more ruthless than the Fassi Legion! More ruthless! β
"This will greatly please the Oriental audience, you know, our group is more than a billion people."
At the same time, it will also let Westerners see the power of the mysterious East! Even Fa Xi was like a piece of paper in front of the Dragon Emperor! What should the world do? What should the protagonist group do? β
"Reduce family drama and more exciting scenes! It is necessary to make the whole film without urine spots, for fear of missing important links. β
"Under the strong sense of oppression, it is the nervousness of everyone who sweats for the protagonist group!"
"This kind of experience is like in the prequel, Imutep uses evil magic to summon a terrifying tornado, and in the fierce wind, he opens his terrifying mouth to pursue the protagonist group who is riding the plane!"
Fang Yu chattered endlessly for more than twenty minutes!
"Boom." Fang Yu took a sip of water.
"I play a member of the grave keeper's family, and I also have to add a young oriental female character."
"That's about it, listen to your opinions."
He sat down slowly, and the room was silent!
Screenwriter Stephen Sommers and director Rob Cohen looked at Fang Yu with complicated eyes!
Everyone was shocked!
Is this what genius screenwriter and producer Stephen Fong came up with a day after he got the script?
Why, why this guy makes comments like. Is it really that exciting?
No wonder he has such a high rating in the industry! Absolutely!
