History, a dissolute chick, even if she was inserted by Sun Yi, still did not change her original trajectory, and walked back to the original point again with a riotous pace.

Sun Yi took over Wen Ziren's script and simply flipped through it, knowing that "Latent", which made this little Chinese director famous again in Hollywood and had a solid position, appeared.

Compare his previous films.

"Chainsaw", Wen Ziren used his whimsy to build a layer-by-layer reversal structure, the plot is interlocking, and the grass snake gray line corresponds one by one, although there are some small bugs, but it is generally harmless.

In particular, the last five minutes are wonderful enough to make people's jaws drop, completely ignoring some loopholes in the script, which can be said to be a true biography of Hitchcock's suspenseful technique.

Although his next two films did not achieve good box office results and their word-of-mouth was not satisfactory, Sun Yi, who is also a director, knows that such shooting experience is an indispensable part of a director's growth path.

Genius doesn't always succeed, except, of course, bugs.

And the following "Latent" can be said to be the culmination of Wen Ziren's horror series, with a production cost of less than $2 million, and finally won hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office in North America.

If Sun Yi is not mistaken, before he came back, this "latent series of universes" had already come out in the fifth installment, and the reputation was still strong, becoming Hollywood's most successful series of movies after the Marvel universe.

The script in front of him seemed to be the key to a treasure trove, and it was so lightly placed in Sun Yi's palm, he thought a little too much for a while.

Wen Ziren looked at Sun Yi and frowned slightly, and was silent for a long time, thinking that there was a problem with his newly created script, and he couldn't help but start thinking about the story composition of the entire script, what problems did he have in the process of creation?

Is the story too banal? Or is the structure a little dragged? Are there any obvious plot flaws?

This thought made me go around it.

There are some things here, I'm afraid that one will make up for it by himself.

Sun Yi thought about it for a long time, and finally came back to his senses, and when he looked at Wen Ziren in front of him, he was stunned.

This was fine just now, but in the blink of an eye, why did he look like he was bitter and hateful, and he was about to be righteous, what was this for?

In fact, it's no wonder that Wen Ziren thinks so, and it has been more than half a year since he accepted Sun Yi's invitation to join North American Star Pictures, and the first thing he did during this period was to go through the big boss Sun Yi's film from beginning to end.

It has been said that the profession of director is also a kind of cultural person, and the saying "there is no first in literature, no second in martial arts" is also applicable.

It stands to reason that Wen Ziren is also a director, and he used to be a blockbuster in Hollywood, not to mention a few brushes in his hands, ordinary people really can't get into his eyes, not to mention, Sun Yi is ten years younger than him.

But after watching all the films Sun Yi made before, he had to admit that there are geniuses in this world.

Throughout the movies Sun Yi has made.

In terms of narrative structure, there are multi-line narratives, linear narratives, and in terms of subject matter, they are even more diverse, such as youth films, romance films, warm films, war films, and recently I heard that 3D science fiction films have been completed.

Wen Ziren compared himself to himself, a single theme of horror films has made him feel insufficient, and he can learn a lot every time he shoots a new film, including "The Walking Dead" filmed for the company this time, only the first season allowed him to find a set of effective methods in lens shaping and group portrait processing.

He really couldn't believe how Sun Yi mastered so many movies with different themes, the key is that the finished films are still classics, and he asked himself if he couldn't do it anyway.

Therefore, he believes that Sun Yi is the kind of natural director, the kind that God appreciates and eats.

"Ziren?"

"Ah, boss, you say, I'll fix it."

This call pulled Wen Ziren back from his own spiritual internal friction, and immediately made an appearance of humbly seeking advice.

Why is it so weird today?

Sun Yi looked at Wen Ziren's appearance and had doubts, but it was not good to get to the bottom of it, after all, everyone has their own privacy, so they simply talked about the script.

"The story is good, it's very creative, it's very suspenseful, I think it's a really good book."

Wen Ziren frowned, although Sun Yi's previous plan made him very useful, but he has been waiting for the next one, but he grew up in a Chinese family, and he is also very clear about the tone of first suppressing and then promoting, first raising and then suppressing in the Chinese tradition.

But after a long time, Sun Yi didn't see anything to follow, and finally understood.

Like,My own book,It's really good.,Or?,The boss is giving me face.,I'm embarrassed to say it in person?

"BOSS, don't you have any changes?" Wen Ziren still asked uneasily.

Sun Yi is also wondering here, you are such a master of horror films, do you still need to ask me?

However, in order to maintain a certain depth, Sun Yi still gave him a small suggestion.

"Well, pay attention to the rhythm and camera planning when shooting, I think as long as you grasp these two points, plus your horror story and suspense, this film will inevitably become a hit."

Sun Yi's suggestion is indeed where Wen Ziren is insufficient, his early films have always been good at the creativity of reversal and the shaping of the horror atmosphere, and the camera handling is relatively poor.

When Wen Ziren heard this, his heart was relieved.

Oops, the boss can be kind of out of it.

Sun Yi didn't know Wen Ziren's inner thoughts at the moment, if he knew that he was a little inclined to be a little affected, he would definitely choose to stay away from him.

After communicating with John, Sun Yi decided to take out $5 million from the annual profits of Star Pictures in North America to make two films, one for $2 million for Wen Ziren's "Latent" and $3 million for "The Invisible Guest" filmed by Sun Yi and Xin Yukun.

It's not that Sun Yi buckles the rope, but the scene of the entire film of the first part of "Latent" is concentrated in that villa, there is no other place, and compared with the previous life, the North American starry sky has a full set of equipment left by Sun Yi before filming "Shelter", which is basically new, which saves more than 100,000 US dollars compared to Wen Ziren's own rent, and other aspects can't increase the budget by themselves, Sun Yi's additional 500,000 US dollars can give him a greater choice in terms of actors.

In short, Wen Ziren is very satisfied, the shooting budget he made before, using the equipment and personnel of the starry sky, was only 1.2 million US dollars, and Sun Yi's current wave of funding has almost doubled.

As for "The Invisible Guest", the script has been thoroughly thought out by Xin Yukun, and when he was in China, he exchanged ideas with Sun Yi a lot, and the filming of "Hidden in the Dust" greatly exceeded the plan and disrupted Sun Yi's schedule.

Looking at it now, it is unlikely that he will personally take charge of this movie, so he can only hang a name and hand it over to Xin Yukun directly to shoot, fortunately, there is also a horror and suspense master Wen Ziren in North America.

No need for nothing.

Sun Yi directly hung the name of a producer on him, and asked him to personally bring Xin Yukun, I believe that in terms of suspense movies, Wen Ziren's attainments will definitely not be worse than himself.

In the next few days, Liu Yifei stayed in the digital field to do English dubbing for her original voice.

Sun Yi helped participate in the preparation of Xin Yukun's crew, because he had said hello in advance, and the film and television industry in Los Angeles was too mature, in just a few days, the crew was almost there, and the rest was to wait for the starring actors to be in place.

The original version is a Spanish movie, and Sun Yi can't find the original actor, so he can only find it from Hollywood.

In this regard, Sun Yi also delegated power to John and Wen Ziren, and Xin Yukun assisted on the side.

Speaking of low- and middle-class actors in Hollywood, Sun Yi's understanding is really not necessarily higher than these two.

Sure enough, John's speed is very fast, worthy of his identity as a Hollywood snake, and he contacted a group of actors in just three days.

"The Invisible Guest" has four main stars in the whole film, the male protagonist is the entrepreneur Adrian, the female protagonist is his lover Laura, and a gold medal lawyer, as well as the father of the person who was hit and killed by the two.

On the day of the audition, Sun Yi also participated, and saw many actors who couldn't be named, but felt a little familiar.

This feeling is very novel, and the satisfaction in my heart is simply bursting when I see the big-name stars of later generations now look like they are small, both cautious and shy to hand over their resumes.

Especially when a sexy butt walked in, Sun Yi was even more surprised in his heart.

Isn't this Captain America!

"Director Sun Yi, hello, I'm Chris Evans, 29 years old this year, 9 years after my debut, and I have starred in "Very Men and Women" and "Fantastic Four" before."

Speaking of this wary ass, ah, no Captain America, his acting career is also quite dramatic.

He debuted at the age of 20, and it only took 4 years to become famous with a comic book movie "Fantastic Four", but the success is also Xiao He and Xiao He, the second sequel, the word-of-mouth box office collapsed directly, making Twentieth Century Fox almost lose as pants. Since then, he has been hidden in the snow, and there are no high-level resources to ask him to star, so he can only participate in various literary movies until he picks up his shield.

Sun Yi gave him a scene and asked him to prepare, and after 10 minutes, he directly started the audition.

Judging from the results, Chris's current acting skills are still very online, and the precipitation in the past two years has made him grow a lot, and he has become quite a general.

"Mr. Evans, alright, your audition for today is over, please leave your contact information and wait for our notification."

After the audition, the staff on the side gave him a very polite tone.

Chris signed the phone number on the staff's form, got up and prepared to leave, his steps were very slow, he hesitated, his fists clenched and clenched, and finally turned back to Sun Yi, who was sitting in the main seat, and said:

"Director Sun, I've seen all of your films, it's really great, if I can play a role in your movie, I'm sure it will be a very pleasant experience, and, if you don't mind, I don't know, what are the problems with my audition performance just now?"

When Sun Yi heard this, he was amused in his heart, and looked at this star who would become popular in Hollywood in the future with great interest, nodded at him, and said encouragingly:

"Chris, you did a great job, I'm looking forward to working with you, go back and wait for the notice."

"Oh, yes, yes, sir."

After Chris left, John saw Sun Yi's thoughts and asked directly:

"BOSS, the male protagonist uses him?"

"What is his price now?"

John flipped through the information of the Actors' Guild and shrugged his shoulders at Sun Yi.

"Well, it's cheap, two months, less than $300,000, and I think I can talk about about $250,000."

"Then him."

Sun Yi directly set the male protagonist of the American team, thinking that today's surprise would end here, but he didn't expect the female protagonist to give him a big surprise again.

Scarlet Witch.

"Mr. Sun, Director Sun, hello, my name is Elizabeth Olsen, I am 21 years old this year, I, I have not acted in a movie yet, but I have been a backbone member of the drama club before school, and I love acting very much, please."

John leaned over and whispered to Sun Yi:

"A little girl with Hollywood dreams, I see several of them every day."

Looking at Sun Yi's playful expression, John's eyes lit up, "BOSS, you have taken a fancy to it, I can."

"Well, it's a good idea, whatever."

Sun Yi nodded slightly, and immediately reacted.

Xiao Nizi is still in the United States, just over the city, aren't you giving me eye medicine, if you're not there, also. We'll talk about that then.

In the end, the heroine decided on the Scarlet Witch, two of the two leading actors, and directly selected two gold medal supporting roles who have starred in many films, and the actors' expenditure for the whole film is about 800,000 US dollars, which is still a big gap from the 31 million US dollars that Sun Yi prepared before, and the rest of this part comes out of the Scarlet Witch.

Sun Yi also didn't expect that one of his small-scale suspense films would bring together two Marvel generals in the future, and I don't know if it will be wonderful when the two of them star in "The Avengers" together.

After "The Invisible Guest" was almost dealt with, Sun Yi followed John to the field to inspect the distribution theaters that cooperated with the company.

Most of these theaters are in relatively poor neighborhoods, and the decoration and internal environment are relatively unsatisfactory, but to Sun Yi's surprise, most of the theaters have the ability to play 3D movies.

"BOSS, don't worry, these small bosses of the theater are the most fashionable, and a "Avatar" at the beginning of the year made them a lot of money, which will be on the 3D screen, I heard that the stocks of the companies sitting on the screen have soared."

Walking out of a cinema in the Heige neighborhood, John waved to the black boss with a big gold chain behind him and explained to Sun Yi.

Seeing Sun Yi frowning slightly at the chaotic environment around him, John added.

"Don't look at the chaos here, but as long as the film is exciting enough, everyone likes to watch it, and they can earn dollars, these theater owners are still very particular, um. The spirit of the contract. ”

Sun Yi looked at the black buddies who were combing their dreadlocks at the door of the theater and pinning "biubiubiu" behind their jeans, and looked at John with a suspicious expression.

It seems to say, where do you see the spirit of the contract?

John was slightly embarrassed and quickly patted the black driver and bodyguard behind him.

"Taylor, prove to me, are these black brothers what I say?"

"Oh yes, we're very particular about the spirit of contract, boss." The round-shouldered black bodyguard replied to John, and then looked at John with an unhappy face, and immediately reacted, and changed his words: "Well, I mean, Mr. General Manager." ”

"YES, BOSS, AS LONG AS YOU CAN MAKE MONEY, WHO CARES ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE." John spread his hands at Sun Yi.

Sun Yi shook his head helplessly, this cat has a cat path, a mouse has a mouse path, and only these theaters are not looked at by the Hollywood Six, just like the current county movie theaters in China.

In terms of service visits, there is only one theater in a small county, and if someone wants to investigate, it will not make less money than a theater outside the mature business district of a big city.

Why is it not concerned, it is nothing more than the current era, its management cost is too high, and the next year, the national digital projection system will come down, and it will slowly get better.

As for the United States, it doesn't matter, the North American starry sky has no independent hematopoietic ability without Sun Yi, and John can only search for independent movies all over the world, one earns, two earns, but no one can guarantee that it will always be earned, so he is such a smart person, he must know that leaving Sun Yi's side is definitely not as happy as he is now.

With that, that's it.

"In a few days, you will talk to Mr. Harvey on my behalf about the release of "Pacific Rim", and my request that the number of screens opened should not be less than that of "Shelter".

"BOSS, don't worry, the most popular thing now is 3D movies, even the Fernando Valley is ready to shoot 3D romance movies, your sci-fi production is definitely very popular, theaters will rush to it, and no one will have trouble with the dollar."

Sun Yi nodded and agreed with John's statement, he had been in a hurry to get on the film industrialization, except for the Hollywood source crisis in 08, which was to harvest the 3D movie boom set off by "Avatar".

Corrected a typo, added nearly 800 words, almost half a chapter, increase the amount without increasing the price, give back to book friends!
