Chapter 736 [Holding people plan, many new films]
Several people were chatting while eating. Travis said that the new film Guo Xu invested in this time was very suitable for his own preference. He took the initiative to propose that he wanted to be an assistant director.
Guo Xu felt that this was like the live-action version of "Inception". When he talked to Travis about the movie, he accidentally aroused the other party's interest and changed his mind.
The script was written by Guo Xu when he was free, and it was a literary romance film called "The Traveler in Time and Space". He liked this movie very much in his previous life. The original version was released in 2013 and its English name was "abouttime". Guo Xu did not consider using this English name, but at first glance it was so simple that it would lose the box office.
Suddenly one day I discovered that I could travel through time and space. What kind of life would you choose?
When the male protagonist Tim was 21 years old, his father told him that men in their family all had super powers to travel time and could go back to the past. So Diansi Tim wanted to use his super power to find a girlfriend who fell in love and have a very serious relationship. However, he found that no matter how he traveled through time and space, he could not let anyone who didn't love you fall in love with you.
After that, Tim traveled through time and space countless times, met Mary, married her and found the meaning of her life.
This is a purely emotional movie under the guise of science fiction. Time and space travel is just a gimmick, and the highlight is family affection. The protagonist gradually discovered that even if he can travel in time and space, he still cannot avoid those tragedies of life. For example, the departure of his relatives, he is always powerless. The theme of the movie is to learn to love, learn to live, and cherish every day with his relatives. This is easy to say, but it is actually quite difficult.
Guo Xu thought about being a starring actor, but after thinking about it for several years, he finally decided to give the opportunity to his friend Austin Nichos.
First, Guo Xu and the male protagonist have a very different temperament, and the audience may get out of the show after watching it; second, he has starred in two movies, Austin is a professional actor, but he is still a failure in the entertainment industry.
If he always feels good about himself and ignores his old friends, it will be too bad for him, and Austin will be dissatisfied sooner or later.
The key to this movie is the plot, not acting. Austin will definitely become popular after acting. In the future, he will not be able to play supporting roles or act in American dramas.
Guo Xu made a little modification to the plot. The original male protagonist could not see the change in his mentality. He always looked timid and unconfident, as if life had always been in many troubles.
This is logically wrong. How can a person who never loses his lawsuit by relying on his superpowers to sue without confidence? Those who ask him to sue should have to line up, and his peers will also praise him. Any industry is very good at reaching the top, especially for lawyers. Among the 43 presidents in the United States, 26 are lawyers, and ordinary lawyers can become NBA presidents.
Austin asked: "Jason, can I really decide who the heroine is? Are you not afraid that I will choose someone who is not good at acting?"
"No, just choose one you like, it will be easier to act well. Of course, when you go to audition, don't choose someone with a much different temperament than the heroine, such as Meghan."
Megan raised his fist at Guo Xu and expressed his dissatisfaction. "What's wrong with me?"
"The heroine is a pretty ordinary girl. She appears with her bangs. Do you look like her?" Guo Xu smiled.
In the first scene of the two meeting in the movie, Tim waits for Mary to appear in the alley outside the door under the dim lights.
In general, in love stories in movies, the heroine will definitely appear in the same way as a goddess. She will walk off the carriage and reveal her stunning face under the brim of the hat, or slowly walking towards the hero in sexy clothes under slow motion.
But the heroine Mary is very ordinary. She is not tall, has very rustic bangs, is wearing a skirt that is not sexy or trendy at all. She is not seductive or confident when speaking, and is very shy, and even dares to look at the male lead with her eyes.
Tim is also a young man. He hurriedly asked for the girl's phone number and was always in a stupid state. Compared with those successful men who are mature and charming and can flirt with girls, he has no competitiveness.
This is a movie in which two clumsy people express their feelings to each other in the clumsy way and expressions. Guo Xu and Meghan definitely cannot play the male and female protagonists.
Dadario couldn't play it either. She became "Super Mary" as soon as she started. The audience may think that the male lead is not worthy of her. There should be many men chasing this girl.
Travis's literary youth is sick. He likes movies that tell the meaning of life and chats with Austin and Britney.
Guo Xu talked to Robert about investing in other movies. The company has increased and more employees, and the company has grown to a large scale. There is no need to shoot one movie a year like in the past.
"Happy Death Day 2" has been put on the agenda and is about to start filming next year. The starring is Matt Pomo and "Model Worker Sister" Jessica Chastain.
It is difficult to get a good reputation for movies with old bottles, but if you don’t shoot sequels, it will waste IP because the movie has a group of fans and the investment cost is low. If you shoot it, you will definitely make money. Not to mention that the box office exceeds 100 million, the box office is 20 million, and the box office can be made by the disc market.
The big drop in box office will not affect Meghan's fame. Anyway, she will not act anymore. Maybe someone will say that the movie will not work without her.
"Kung Fu Panda 2" has also started production, strike while the iron is hot. The three characters Ali, Panda and Ahu are very popular, but they are all animation images and make the most money. "Unhappy Cat" Bucky has become the king of money through book publishing, beverages, cat supplies, toys and other peripheral products.
When the Forbes rankings are announced next year, Bucky's endorsement fee will probably be higher than many NBA big-name stars, similar to Suns' second-in-command Xiao Si, and must have more than $20 million. Compared with Cat, can a star like Marion who has no endorsement do not have a high salary to make a long appointment? It's so frustrating.
Robert also said one thing: they have successfully obtained the copyright of "Twilight" and can find a place to start filming this year. The investment will not be high, just choose a group of handsome men and beautiful women to act.
Guo Xu said that he would openly select people and find actors whose image is close to the original work. If acquaintances are no longer involved, the cost can be reduced as much as possible.
Meghan's role is "Fox Spirit Bella". If you don't fight with a vampire, it's good if you don't have a fight. Can you fall in love?
Dadario's performance is "Bella the weapon", and the audience of the movie will change. The little girls may not be willing to go to the theater to watch it. Originally, they went to the theater to watch love stories and went home to yy. If they saw "Bella the weapon" in the movie, it would definitely be impossible to swipe it twice or three times. Many people will be stimulated and directly affect the box office of the movie.
Amber's temperament of acquaintance No. 3 is also seriously inconsistent. It is better to find someone close to the original work than to make her pretend to be gentle.
This series of movies is destined to make a big profit. Guo Xu knew that there was no reason to let him go for nothing. He could also make young actors famous and would use whoever he liked him. Hollywood is fiercely competitive, and there are many people who have good looks but no chance.
Robert Pattinson definitely won't use the original shovel face. After becoming famous, this guy has been using his life to black "Twilight". Since he is so disgusted, he will stay cool and stay wherever he wants. Kristen Stewart also replaced it to avoid the scandal of having an affair with the director in the future.
When the show ended, Britney asked Guo Xu to invite a song again. "I have given birth to my second child and plan to make a comeback. The preparation time is still long. Please help me write a song. You haven't released a new song for a long time."
"What do you want?" Guo Xu asked.
"Electronic music, just like "tiktok", it's okay to have a song that we sing together. I haven't shown up for a long time. Please help me increase my popularity." Britney smiled. They are too familiar with each other, so you don't have to be polite to Guo Xu.
"Then let's both electronic music and chorus. I'll take the time to think about it carefully. If you want to sing high notes, you can practice your voice, don't waste it."
Chapter completed!
