Chapter 221： become a legend, become a legend
After holding his breath, Zhang Dongcheng was the first to give wild applause. Facing this epic police film, he finally knew what a white dove temple film is.
Every man has romantic feelings in his heart, but they express them in different ways. John Woo uses extreme glorification and violence to express the sun and moon in his heart. His slow motion, his unique oriental warmth, and the awe-inspiring atmosphere in his chest are intertwined to form a perfect combination of the East and the West, as well as the world in which gunfire is blooming.
An elegant villain, a painful undercover agent, two irreconcilable people, but began to play each other's roles, the situation began a series of shocking changes. , began to be irreconcilable.
Confrontation is the best form of confrontation between the protagonists, and it is also the fuse of the conflict. Like the classic confrontation between Chow Yun-fat and Danny Lee in "Blood Heroes", the contest between good and evil will never end in the world of movies.
Nicolas Cage, Travolta, these two superstars teamed up to present a sincere work of gunfire!
Ok? Nicolas Cage?
Zhang Dongcheng's heart suddenly moved. Looking at the guy who was later called the king of bad movies on the screen, he pulled his hair vigorously.
Leave those things aside, Zhang Dongcheng applauded and expressed his admiration to Wu Yusen: "It's great, Mr. Wu, your movie is great!"
Originally, this film audition was just to communicate the feelings of everyone and strengthen the relationship. Wu Yusen urgently needed the recognition of the American film industry. From 1993 to 1997, he walked forward step by step. At this moment, Zhang Dongcheng I really saw his strength, as well as an idea that came to him suddenly.
"Mr. Wu, do you have time to chat for a few more words?" Zhang Dongcheng was no longer a brat, he had been waiting for an opportunity, and only after the visiting guests had left one after another, did he have a close conversation with Wu Yusen.
Wu Yusen is an old man, how can he not notice that the most popular figure in the American film industry recently does not take the initiative to show up here, does not take the initiative to find someone to talk to, but just hides in the corner and stares at him unobtrusively?
"Haha, that's exactly what I mean." Wu Yusen smiled slightly, and brought Zhang Dongcheng to his study, where the two sat facing each other.
"The decoration of Mr. Wu's study is very elegant and charming." The style of this study is a combination of Chinese and Western, which is the essence of the collision of Eastern and Western cultures. Although Zhang Dongcheng is very reluctant to turn corners, it does make him ruthless. I was shocked.
"It's just elegant, ha ha." After all, Wu Yusen has rich life experience, and he is more calm than Zhang Dongcheng. He just pours a cup of Kung Fu tea with a smile, and everything is not rushed.
After drinking two cups of tea, Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help himself anymore. Although he knew that the one who opened the mouth first would be at a disadvantage, but he still spoke out ahead of time as he was eager for talents.
"Mr. Wu should know that I founded a film company, right?" Zhang Dongcheng suddenly asked Wu Yusen while playing with his teacup.
Wu Yusen, however, smiled. Seeing that Zhang Dongcheng had opened up the chatter box, he no longer maintained a hypocritical attitude, and responded very seriously: "I know, Dongcheng Film Company, and it pioneered the film fund purchase system in conjunction with the bank. This is epoch-making. The revolutionary financial financing method has shaken the film industry in the whole United States and even the whole world."
"Well, the film fund system is not the point. The point is that my company has purchased the filming rights of more than a dozen films. When I saw your work today, I felt that one of the films was tailor-made for you. Yes. So, I sincerely invite you to join Dongcheng Pictures to shoot this movie." Zhang Dongcheng said, staring at Wu Yusen's face, as if trying to read his inner thoughts from his expression.
"Oh? What kind of movie is it?" Wu Yusen couldn't help being interested. Everyone in the circle knew that Zhang Dongcheng had recently spread money, but it wasn't for anything else, but to attack everywhere with checks, buying movie copyrights everywhere.
In fact, this matter has been widely circulated before the filming of The Matrix. Many people joked that Zhang Dongcheng simply didn’t know what to say. It’s not easy for several movies to win big. With hundreds of millions of dollars in his pocket, it’s okay not to enjoy life Everyone agrees to use it all to make movies, but Zhang Dongcheng spent all of it on buying copyrights, what kind of visual effects!
With the copyright, there is no shooting fee, so how can it work? The most difficult thing in Hollywood is none other than letting the capitalists spend real money to invest in filming. Zhang Dongcheng is putting the cart before the horse when he does this!
As a result, Zhang Dongcheng's whimsical and unconstrained ideas made everyone's eyes drop. When East West Bank Film Fund was launched, everyone knew that Zhang Dongcheng would not need to pay a penny to make movies in the future. up!
Compared to movies with tens of millions or billions of dollars invested, the copyright is much cheaper. Zhang Dongcheng's 100 million dollars, which was originally unaffordable in Hollywood, made everyone go crazy with depression.
Countless screenwriters were stunned by the staff of Dongcheng Film Company waving checks to the door, and sold the rights with satisfaction, countless best-selling books that could be adapted into movies were all bought by Zhang Dongcheng!
Although there are only a dozen films on hand, the growth rate is increasing at the rate of one or two films per week, until the opponent realizes this and then competes with Dongcheng Films to grab the copyright and then slows down.
The screenwriters cheered, because of the appearance of Zhang Dongcheng, their income more than doubled than before!
Okay, these are gossip, let’s see which movie Zhang Dongcheng chose for John Woo.
"There are two people in this world, one has become a legend, and the other is becoming a legend. They are both wandering in extreme dangers unimaginable by the world, but they are easy to hit. There are only countless beauties and beautiful cars, as well as all kinds of weird and advanced equipment. The other one is to complete the impossible task, led by a handsome guy, and the whole team is outside the law. Suspense and climaxes abound." Zhang Dongcheng snapped his fingers, and his eyes began to sharpen.
"I know, the first one you mentioned is James Bond 007, and the second one is Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible. Yes, one of them is already a legend, and the other is becoming a legend."
James Bond, this man who has become a symbol of Britain, has experienced six Bonds, more than 50 years and more than 20 movies, a complete film legend.
Mission: Impossible, released in 1996, swept the global box office with 457.696359 US dollars, ranking third in the US box office and third in the global box office that year.
And, there will be a second, third, and fourth, and Tom Cruise is becoming a legend.
"Yes, and in my hands, there is also a legend that has not yet been born, a legend that belongs to another kind of spy. I bought the copyright of Robert Ludlum's novel and movie, the name is "Bourne's Identity", if it is made into a movie , I want to call it—"The Bourne Shadow." Zhang Dongcheng put down the teacup he had been playing with for a long time, and finally burst out with a dazzling light different from others. Captured by his eyes, he couldn't resist any resistance.
"The film copyright of Lu Delun's novel!?" Wu Yusen jumped up in surprise.
Robert Ludlum, he is the author with the most readers in the world, he is the eternal king of spy thrillers, 25 novels, 32 languages, published in more than 40 countries, more than 250 million readers worldwide.
"The Da Vinci Code" author Dan Brown's most respected thriller classic masterpiece!
"If you have business to do tomorrow, don't open Lu Delun's novel at this time!"
——Chicago Sun-Times
"The distance between Lu Delun and his competitors must be calculated in light years! The tortuous plot constructed by his pen has captured the hearts of thousands of readers!"
──Chicago Tribune
As a synonym for thriller spy novels, Lu Delun's three words are worth hundreds of millions of movie box office.
"You decide, let me shoot The Spy Movies?" Wu Yusen felt breathless for a while. Everyone in front of the young people knew that he might not be able to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars after spending all his money, but as long as he said In other words, 120 million or even 300 million or 400 million US dollars will be piled up in front of him in a week, just for the movie he values.
"Yes, Mr. Wu, Dongcheng Film Company invested 100 million U.S. dollars to cast this "Bourne Shadow", making you the founder of another legend, the beginning of a miracle in the film industry. I think there will be a second one, The third one, even, countless ones." Zhang Dongcheng smiled and extended an olive branch to Wu Yusen.
Almost without consideration, Woo Yusen agreed without hesitation. What Zhang Dongcheng liked was his perfect technique and skills in directing "Mission: Impossible 2", and what Wu Yusen liked was the pioneering movie and the glory of being the founder. People, hit it off.
After discussing some details, Zhang Dongcheng pressed his temples. As the helm of a company, he has too many things to think about besides movies.
Handing the script of "Dark War" to John Woo, Zhang Dongcheng said with a smile: "In order to make up for the pirated versions of many Hong Kong movies I watched when I was young, this time I plan to shoot this movie with Hong Kong. Director Du Qifeng made the Hong Kong version, and I made an American version and released it together."
How could the seasoned Wu Yusen fail to see what was in it, but Zhang Dongcheng didn't mind, and he didn't need to mention it. He just picked up the script and read it carefully.
Zhang Dongcheng just drank tea, thinking about things, and let Wu Yusen watch the script quietly by himself.
"This book is good and very interesting. Lao You is indeed a talent." After a long time, Wu Yusen started from the script and praised the screenwriter You Naihai from the bottom of his heart.
"For the Hong Kong version of the movie, Director Du decided that Andy Lau would play the leading role, and Liu Qingyun would play the leading role of the policeman." Zhang Dongcheng's words were very brief, but it made Wu Yusen laugh.
