"Hey, brother, the movie is so good!"

"Director Li Yang is so amazing, the story is so touching, I cried when I was about to end at the end."

"The heroine finally broke up and went abroad, saying that she would come back in three years, but she still didn't come back, and the actor only waited for a postcard with a US postage stamp."

"Hey, I really don't understand, why the heroine is reluctant to come back, is the United States so good?"

In his heart, Wu Yuan actually wanted to say that "it is indeed that good", at least in the nineties, most people thought so.

During the period after the collapse of Big Brother, the United States really looked around the world without a single enemy, a proper beacon of democracy, and a bunch of people who had received a high level of knowledge and education, and they wanted to go there and looked down on the backward domestic environment.

Li Yang's film is indeed the epitome of some college students in that era.

The heroine represents the part of high intellectuals who are unwilling to share weal and butter with the motherland and choose to go abroad to enjoy a high life.

The actor represents the high intellectuals who have been cultivated by the motherland and are willing to take root in the country and work hard for the prosperity of the country.

The two chose different future paths, and Lao Yan flew separately.

The final ending is that the male protagonist, who has become a middle-level administrator of a certain company, receives a postcard from the United States on a very dull day.

This postcard is the final end of the relationship between the two of them, who have been hot, quarreled, and loved to death.

This sincere relationship has become a dusty memory in his youth, but when it is occasionally turned out, it still makes him toss and turn.

Regret is the main tone of all youth films.

It is precisely because of regrets that this is youth.

Li Yang took a good shot, and took out the most common regret of the post-70s generation in their youth, comforting the majority of post-70s college students.

Wu Yuan naturally wouldn't pour cold water at this time, he responded with a smile: "This is a movie, Director Li Yang must have his reasons for filming like this." ”

"Look, aren't you just emotionally moved by this ending?"

Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone muttered and asked rhetorically: "Senior brother, if it were you, would you choose to go abroad, will you come back after going abroad?" ”

Can this be related to yourself?

Wu Yuan was stunned, it seems that all the women in the world are very proficient in using this skill.

He hurriedly denied it: "If it were me, I would definitely not be able to do this kind of thing, my girlfriend is the most important thing in my heart, how can it be more important to stay with my girlfriend when I go abroad for further study?" ”

Good, the trial passed.

Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone immediately laughed, "You know each other." ”

"Hang up, I'm going to sleep, the crew still has a lot of scenes to shoot tomorrow."

"mua~good night~"

Without waiting for Wu Yuan to say anything more, she hung up the phone directly.

Shaking his head with a smile and putting away his phone, Wu Yuan looked at the computer screen in front of him again.

"John, where did we just talk?"

It turned out that when Liu Yifei called, he was in a meeting with John.

Although he is in Huaxia, Wu Yuan needs to pay attention to the recent situation in the Light Era on a regular basis and make some arrangements.

"We just talked about World War Z, Daniel, and I'm really bullish on this film adaptation."

"You know, there's a huge market for zombie movies in North America, and this one is at the top of the New York Times bestseller list, and it's bound to become a hot commodity for movie rights."

"Leonardo and Brad Pitt are also very optimistic about this film and are also actively working on it to buy the rights."

"We need to buy it as soon as possible!"

As I said before, Wu Yuan not only stared at various film and television adaptation rights in China, but he also specifically told John that if he saw anything good in North America, he would boldly buy the film adaptation rights.

"World War Z" is what John is newly looking for.

Originally titled "World War Z", this one is a science fiction book published by American author Max Brooks in 2006.

The plot of this film is actually very simple, it is a story of a sudden outbreak of a zombie virus in the United States, and the zombie epidemic began to spread rapidly, causing the most serious extinction crisis in history, and then the hero fled in a city full of zombies.

But it is precisely this simple, similar story to "Resident Evil", that has become the top seller list in North America this year.

Whoever calls North Americans just like the "zombie" genre?

The earliest movies that portrayed the role of zombies can be traced back to the film "White Devil" in the 30s of the last century.

But it wasn't until 1968 that George W. A. Romero's work "Night of the Living Dead" was released, and a new model of American zombie film creation was officially formed.

Since the movie "Night of the Living Dead", zombie films have become the largest and highest-grossing R-rated film in North America.

The "Resident Evil" series has become the world's most classic zombie series movie.

Now John wants to eat this market, which is understandable.

After all, zombie movies are not expensive to shoot, and they have a mass base, as long as they cut and chop all the way, and burst plasma all the way, they can sell tens of millions of dollars at the box office, how easy is it?

Wu Yuan also knew that "World War Z" was indeed won by Brad Pitt, and after many years of delay, the movie of the same name was launched in 2013.

It grossed $200 million in the United States and $540 million worldwide.

This is the best result achieved by a zombie film in the United States, and it is much higher than the box office of any film in the Resident Evil series.

Of course, he was very supportive of John's idea, and nodded repeatedly: "John, I support your opinion. ”

"We really should buy World War Z, no matter how much it costs!"

"No matter how much it costs?" John's voice was obviously raised a lot, and he was very surprised and said, "You mean, we are going to win this at all costs?" ”

"Even if it costs tens of millions of dollars for this?"

"Of course." The corners of Wu Yuan's mouth curled slightly, "If we don't make such a big determination, how can we compete for Leonardo and Brad Pitt?" ”

John is not the only person who has a vision for Hollywood, Leonardo and Brad Pitt have always liked to buy all kinds of movie adaptation rights and then try to adapt them into movies.

Neither of them is the kind of person who is content to just be an actor, they both want to go further, be producers, and be their own independent film company.

In the case of being monopolized by the Big Six for the vast majority of excellent screenwriters, they want to make their own movie scripts, unless they can write their own screenplays, otherwise they can only buy ready-made copyrights and then find someone to adapt them.

Compete with these two first-line superstars who are also "wealthy", and if you are not ready to pay a huge sum, you don't want to compete for "World War Z".

Fortunately, it is estimated that even Leonardo and Brad Pitt never thought that this film adaptation would sell 500 million dollars worldwide.

The "Resident Evil" series can only be 100 million in North America and 200 million in the world, why can a film adaptation whose influence is far less than that of the "Resident Evil" game achieve a better box office than this?

No one will believe that.

Even if Leonardo and Brad Pitt are optimistic about this work, their psychological bottom line is estimated to be to spend millions of dollars on a gamble, and they are unlikely to be willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy the copyright.

With Wu Yuan's order to take it at all costs, "World War Z" will be won by John.
