"He, your "Pacific Rim" is very well filmed, so we are very confident in your "Edge of Tomorrow", and we read the script and think it is very good. But let me take the liberty of asking, you work well with Fox, so why should you come to work with Warner? Barry Meyer asked.

In fact, Zhang Qian answered this question, but it was obvious that Barry Meyer was not satisfied with Zhang Qian's answer, so he asked where to go.

He Fang pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly.

"Judging from the initial level of cooperation proficiency, it may be more reasonable for us to cooperate with Fox. Although the business is not involved in anything else, Murdoch, the owner behind Fox, is not necessarily very friendly to us. ”

"So, we Chinese are used to not putting our eggs in one basket to share the risk." We're still working with Fox, but we're not going to work with them just anymore, and that's why we came to Warner. ”

He explained.

"So you intercepted the rights of our Warners, and then took the rights that you bought at a high price and came back to work with us? You're interested in the global distribution of 10 films a year, right? ”

He Fang shrugged: "Yes, our goal is very clear, and it is for that." ”

Barry Meyer smiled and nodded, "Afraid we'll get stuck in the neck of your film's global release?" So give Warner Seter benefits in exchange for benefits? ”

"Or else? We don't believe that you treat Chinese films fairly, and I spent eight years in Hollywood. In the American principle, if you don't take advantage, you won't do it with your heart, so I have to let you take advantage. ”

"Haha...... Haha......" Barry Meyer laughed happily and gave a thumbs up, "You're a smart guy, it's good, I like it." However, I will step down in less than two years, and I don't know what will happen to my successor. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as Warner's successor is still doing things according to the contract, we're afraid. At least, Warner wouldn't be a robber, would it? He Fang asked rhetorically.

Barry Meyer pouted, but didn't speak, he didn't deny or admit it.

At his age, a lot of things are clear, even if he admits that he is a robber?

Strength, civilization, and robbers are all means to an end.

If you don't have the strength, whether you make profits or kneel and lick, it all depends on the mood of the strong.

"Well, you're at least an honest person, young man, it's a pity that I didn't let you stay in the United States, people like you shouldn't go back to China." Barry Meyer said.

"No, no matter how successful I am in the United States, I will not be respected by you, because my skin is an exploited person in your eyes, even if I can mix it up, it is your gift, and when you are unhappy, you can leave me with nothing at any time."

"But when I go back to China, it's different, because when I go back, I'm qualified to trade with you on an equal footing, so that I can cooperate with you as a collaborator, not as a benefactor."

He Fang shrugged his shoulders after speaking.

"While you're telling the truth, ......," Barry Meyer said, spreading his hands, "well, that's a good fit." ”

"It's a pleasure to work with." He Fang shook hands with Barry Meyer.

"By the way, if we break the contract, you have countermeasures, right? Can you tell me what it is? Suddenly, Barry Meyer asked.

"Huh? Of course...... No, it's like the Commander-in-Chief of the United States asking the Commander-in-Chief of Russia what your nuclear launch code is. He Fang made a joke.

"Haha, yes, that makes sense, you're such an interesting person."

……

Coming out of Warner, He Fang stood on the Avenue of Fame in Berkeban and looked up at the Sunset Hotel in the distance, he shook his head gently, and then watched Zhang Qian take out a cigarette and hand him one, took the cigarette and slowly lit it and took a hard puff.

"Dealing with the devil is an exchange of interests. Lao Zhang, don't be fooled by other people's sugar-coated cannonballs, it's over if you turn around and put your life here. ”

He Fang said leisurely.

"Don't worry, it won't be so easy to feed the tiger with your body, let's remember it." Zhang Qian wiped his chin and smiled coldly.

"Well, let's go, you can go back the day after tomorrow, the company has a lot of things to do now, Lao Jiao's ability can only be barely maintained, and you need to go back to preside over the overall situation." The project arrangement and follow-up of the rookie director, the cooperation with Wang Jing, and the latest cooperation with Ali, as well as the preparation of "Edge of Tomorrow", other company chores, a lot of things. ”

He Fang patted Zhang Qian's arm.

"It's good to go back, I miss the delicious food on Taiping Street, and the crayfish with beer at the roadside stall at night, and I can go to KTV to roar for a night. In this ghost place, I don't dare to go anywhere at night, there are many thieves and thieves, and there are gangsters. If it weren't for the party I had every day, I would have suffocated here. Zhang Qian spat out his cigarette fiercely and complained.

"Hehe, okay, everyone says you're having fun in the United States, and you're still complaining."

"Pleasure? Fart, come, let the envious come, I'm really willing to change ......"

"Alright, alright, let's go."

……

There weren't any terms to talk about with Fox, just to talk to the writers about script changes and the producers about film preparation.

The script of "X-Men: Future Past" is relatively good, it fills in the holes of the previous parts of "X-Men", plus the usual routine: catastrophic future - the protagonist travels back in time to change key historical events - the future changes.

Therefore, the whole story routine is still relatively rigorous and good-looking.

In fact, this story is still buried in the traditional religious values of the West, of course, whether it is the X-Men or other superhero stories, they are basically promoting the values of Western religions.

The protagonists in superheroes are all superhumans or mutants, and they are slaves of the gods, above ordinary people. Is this identity like Jesus? He is known as the Son of God.

And their enemies and opponents are all engaged in technology, and these people who are engaged in technology are on the opposite side of mutants and humans, and there is no morality at all. In fact, it alludes to the Scientology of the seminary of the time.

The reality is that since the Renaissance, religion has regarded those who engage in science as pagans. If we count from more ancient times, the opponent of religion is the alchemist, the witch.

So, in the Western world, this can sort out two lines of confrontation.

One line is that God's slaves are presiding over the running of the world, maintaining moral standards and teaching ordinary people how to believe in God to gain the light of life.

On the other hand, the alchemists who were opposed to religion, who later seduced learned seminary students into alchemy, and from then on these students changed their heads, and they began to call themselves science.

Thus, over the next few hundred years, theology and science battled the various leaders.

Most of Marvel's superhero stories are mutants who have gained divine powers, and they go to fight against the fighters of science, and the villains of Marvel's super mile are basically Scientologists or some variants who have been reversed by Scientology.

Why were the mutants rebelled? Because of their greed, selfishness, framing and other negative emotions that ordinary people may encounter, they have changed and become villains.

Just like Loki, he became a villain because of jealousy.

And the villain's abomination is a product of technology.

For example, Iron Man is a techno-tech superhero who has accepted religious morality, this meaning is obvious, right? As long as you scientologists are under God's control, you will remain one of us.

Anyway, the overall idea is that the Technocrats have always been heinous, and the many evil characters in their camp are either the ones they have created, or he has seduted many mutants or Protoss.

Of course, there is only one final outcome of these stories, that is, no matter how the Scientologists behave, the slaves of God are ultimately the winners, maintaining the normal operation of the world's moral order.

Another super mile character design is very interesting, there are two kinds of super mile characters, one is the gods, like Thor, Mr. Miracle, Orion. One is mutants, like Superman and Wolverine, who have been endowed with some kind of divine energy for various reasons.

But in fact, this setting is not set by Marvel and DC founders, it has cultural roots.

Not to mention the gods, the characters of mythology, the representatives of heaven.

Mutants are ordinary mutants who have been given divine powers, they are mutated by something bitten or injected with something, and then they are attached to the gods.

And it is worth mentioning that mutants have been praised all the time, because mutants are mutated after being bitten by animals, or injected with some kind of drug, and have since gained superpowers.

And behind this is actually whitewashing the Western aristocracy, because the Western aristocracy has always had a custom of drinking human blood to make themselves young and immortal, or eating human fat to keep people beautiful.

This kind of vulgarity was not stopped by Western laws on a large scale until before World War II, but in the 21st century, many aristocrats still believe that changing the blood of young people can make them younger, and even body fat can be beautiful.

There are many ingredients of human body fat in French perfumes and cosmetics, which also causes South America to have one of the largest black industry chains - refining human oil.

The so-called Marvel and DC's whitewashing of Western aristocrats is to tell people that if you also want to gain divine power like mutants and maintain world peace, then accept and enjoy the nobles drinking your blood and eating your flesh.

……

The routine is such a basic routine, so after mastering this basic routine, let's look at each story separately, and it will be easier to sort it out.

The story of "X-Men: Future Past" is that the scientific school made a robot 'Sentinel' that can destroy mutants, this 'Sentinel' is too powerful for mutants to beat, so the mutant Wolverine uses a rogue trick - go back to the past and change the future.

This technique is really too hooligan, if you can't beat it, you can go back to the past and kill others, so why not let the villain also have this ability to go back to Wolverine when he was a child and kill Wolverine?

Moreover, this ability can only be possessed by mutants, not by the techno-tech, which is a privilege.

Alas, the story of the movie. As long as it conforms to the logical relationship in the context of the movie, there is no need to force it into reality.

It's like writing, the protagonist does some supernatural things in it, but the reader doesn't pull this into reality, saying that reality is impossible, so the author cares about obscenity. This isn't nonsense, isn't it nonsense, how did you feel cool if you don't want to be obscene?

Three screenwriters, Simon Kinberg, Jane Goodman, and Matthew Vaughn, are all of the same age, all born in the early 70s, and they are all British.

Among them, Matthew Vaughn is also a screenwriter of Guy Ritchie, such as "Two Big Smoking Guns" and "Kidnapping and Robbery" are all from him.

Jane Goodman is a big-breasted woman with a lot of ...... Raw punch.

"Hi, three handsome guys and beauties, I read your script, it's amazing, almost perfect." The first thing he said when he met was praise.

This is etiquette in the West, and of course what he said is also true.

"Thanks, though, you still proposed a 5% amendment." Simon shook his hand and shrugged.

"Oh, Mr. Simon, I have this power but don't necessarily use it, it depends on whether the story needs it or not. Don't worry, I won't change it. ”

"That's great, the three of us are relieved." Jane opened her arms and gave He Fang a big hug, and hit He Fang's ribs hard with her Dongdong, which was like two big balloons, causing pain.

"Then you must have a bit of a revision, right?" Where did Matthew shake hands with.

"It's a little bit, it's just a little bit ......"

"Oh......" Jane shook her head.

"Hey, guys, it's not going to change a lot, a few words."
