Chapter 140 Magical Change "Manslaughter"
Sister Jiuyi has been quite depressed these past two days, because Zhang Chen made it clear to her that he would not have further cooperation with her until the Yin-Yang contract was resolved.
I originally thought that Zhang Chen was just talking casually and that there would be no deeper cooperation. He wanted to go deeper. If he went deeper, he would reach Zigong.
I didn’t expect Zhang Chen to come for real.
He has not contacted Sister Jiuyi for several days.
Sister Jiuyi couldn't find anyone even if she wanted to play poker with him.
The phone finally turned on today. As soon as the call was connected, the other party dropped the word ‘busy’ and lost faith.
“This guy is really pissing me off~”
Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Sister Jiuyi became more and more angry as she thought about it, even though she didn’t even have a mask worth hundreds of dollars a piece on her face. It smelled good, and she was so angry that she tore it off, threw it on the ground, and stamped her feet several times.
Now she is a hot heroine with a box office of over 100 million, a sexy goddess. I don’t know how many people want to have sex with her every day.
Even the big and small kings always greeted her with a smile, but that guy...
The more Sister Jiuyi thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't understand why Zhang Chen cared so much about the Yin-Yang contract.
But after being angry, she felt guilty. Yes, she felt guilty.
How did you get the title of heroine with a box office of over 100 million?
How did you get the title of sexy goddess?
She is not a ungrateful person, but she does not know what to do.
......
Zhang Chen has been really busy these past two days, busy having sex with Xu Qing.
I haven’t traveled around the world for a while, so my martial arts skills are a bit rusty.
Fortunately, he has a deep foundation.
At this time, the room was in a mess, leaving traces of his demon-killing and defending ways everywhere.
"The demon girl, I'm going to catch you without restraint~"
With another flash of swords and swords, the demon girl was beheaded under the bed by him.
During the CD cooling time, Holy Aunt Heimu Ya massaged his back in person, using a light technique.
Zhang Chen closed his eyes and meditated, quietly restoring his internal strength.
The cell phone on the bed vibrated, and another call came in. Zhang Chen glanced at the caller number. He didn't recognize it, so he simply ignored it. Xu Qing didn't ask and continued the massage silently.
This is the smartest thing about this woman. She never asks too many questions, as if she has no curiosity.
But we are all adults, how is that possible?
Zhang Chen also knew the reason for her hard work in the past two days. He slowly opened his eyes and said, "There is a drama to be prepared in two days. You go and audition for the heroine."
Xu Qing He said 'Hmm' and continued to caress her gently, without asking why it was an audition instead of a direct decision.
Zhang Chen hesitated for a few seconds, but still felt that he should explain: "The new play is called "Manslaughter". It is a suspense drama. You are auditioning for the heroine, but this play requires relatively high acting skills. I am not sure whether you can do it."< br>
Xu Qing listened with a smile and nodded, as if she didn't care.
Zhang Chen sighed, unable to bear it, and finally gave him reassurance: "If it is really not suitable, I will arrange other scenes for you."
It takes a long time to fall in love, Zhang Chen After all, he is not a scumbag and cannot be ruthless.
The phone vibrated again. Because of Zhang Ziyi's withdrawal and the success of "Shark Beach", the heroine of "Eden Lake" became even more popular. Various people contacted him every day to engage in Zhang Chen took the trouble.
But this time it wasn't an unfamiliar number, the note was Dai An. Xu Qing pushed Zhang Chen and reminded: "It's an acquaintance calling."
Zhang Chen then opened his eyes and picked up the phone.
"I'll get you a glass of water~" Xu Qing avoided consciously.
Zhang Chen answered the phone, and Diane's hearty laughter immediately came over the other end: "Boss, I found the candidate you asked me to look for. Do you want to hear it?"
"Okay, tell me."
For the heroine of "Eden Lake", Zhang Chen didn't have a good candidate for the time being, so he asked Diane to choose one from Hollywood. If he couldn't find a suitable one here, he would use one from the United States to avoid unnecessary trouble. The shooting was delayed.
“The actress I found is called Blake Lively. She is an American. She has already had a film, but it has not been released yet.”
Zhang Chen is not very familiar with foreign names. I have a cold, but when I heard this name, I immediately remembered who the real owner was.
A sexy body and a very recognizable smiling face also appeared in my mind.
Isn't this the original heroine of "Shark Beach"?
Blake Lively.
Why are you coming back and forth to her again?
Blake Lively became famous in the youth drama "Gossip Girl", and "Shark Tank" is her transformation work.
However, at this time, Lively had only filmed one film, "Summer of Jeans," in which he starred with his father. He was a pure newcomer in the entertainment industry.
Dian didn’t know what Zhang Chen was thinking of, and was still introducing herself: “Lively’s father is Ernie Lively, and he is a senior American TV drama producer in Hollywood. His representative works include " "Seinfeld" and "The X-Files"
Zhang Chen was stunned: "Is his father helpful to our movie?"
Di An, who was opposite, was also stunned, and immediately said: "No, I'm just telling you that she comes from an acting family and her acting skills are passable. "Yes." Zhang Chen nodded: "You contact me first, but don't make a decision. I haven't made a final decision yet. From the bottom of my heart, I prefer to use a Chinese actress."
“OK, got it, Boss~”
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chen was still thinking about the character.
Frankly speaking, Zhang Chen himself knew that he was a little self-motivated.
Rationally, there is nothing wrong with Kokusai Chapter giving up on him and choosing "Memoirs of a Geisha" which is superior in all aspects.
"Memoirs of a Geisha" crushed "Eden Lake" in terms of production company, producer's reputation, project scale and other aspects, but Zhang Chen just wasn't happy.
He wanted to slap Zhang Ziyi in the face, hard.
But "Memoirs of a Geisha" was an A-level production. If memory serves me correctly, this movie won three Oscars and the box office was pretty good.
There is little chance of beating it at the box office, so we can only change the angle and compare it to Zhang Ziyi.
The most ideal thing is to personally train another actress to enter Hollywood and let her compete with international chapters.
International Chapter is no longer the only one, so will her achievements still be as great as those of the original time and space?
But it is not that easy to train a female star to enter Hollywood. Whether it is domestic or Hollywood, whether an actor can be popular often depends on life. Even if Zhang Chen has the memory of future generations, there is no guarantee that she will be successful. It will definitely work.
……
Zhang Chen returned to the company, and Dong Jianqiang happened to be there.
"You are here just in time. "Sanlian Life Weekly" just called and wants to conduct an exclusive interview with you. Will you accept it?"
"Sanlian Life Weekly", this At that time, it was a relatively high-quality magazine with a large number of readers among intellectuals and media industries.
Zhang Chen shook his head, "Forget it, I almost vomited during the interview during the road show some time ago, and now I have a big headache when I hear about the exclusive interview."
The road show is really a nightmare, not only do people fly in the sky every day , shuttled between movie theaters in various cities, and kept talking in interviews.
Usually after a road show, people have to take a long time to rest. This is why famous directors and actors rarely do road shows. They are too tiring.
And recently there have been a lot of media wanting to interview him, all because "Shark Beach" has exceeded 100 million.
He has no movies to be released recently, so he is too lazy to share his life experience with the media.
If you have that time, wouldn’t it be nice to take a nap at home?
“Okay, then I’ll push it for you later.”
Dong Jianqiang was quite indifferent to this matter, and then he seemed to remember something: "By the way, the screenwriting team finished the script of "Manslaughter" yesterday. According to your instructions, there are two versions in total. Do you want to take a look... ”
This Zhang Chen was quite interested. Following Dong Jianqiang’s prompts, he found the script on his desk and read it carefully.
Zhang Chen made changes to this version of the plot, removing the role of the father and making the mother the protagonist of the film.
It is now widely rumored that Zhang Chen’s movies like to use women as protagonists. This is the case for "Dark Invasion" and the same for "Shark Beach".
He even created a new term - heroine movie.
Zhang Chen simply continued, and "Manslaughter" continued to maintain this style.
He moved all the male protagonist's roles to the female protagonist Ayu.
The screenwriters have made good changes:
After her husband passed away, his wife Ayu lived alone with their two daughters in Thailand, relying on a video room left by her husband during his lifetime to maintain basic living expenses.
Ayu misses her husband very much. Their common hobby during their lifetimes was watching suspense movies. After her husband passed away, Ayu often watched them alone as a way to commemorate her husband.
Therefore, I am familiar with most of the suspenseful parts.
However, one day, Ayu's eldest daughter Pingping was bewitched by the inspector general's son, Sucha, and accidentally killed him because of resistance.
Ayu once witnessed the Inspector-General's abuse of lynching, and knew that the law was useless. In order to protect her daughter and family, she decided to bury the body to cover up all evidence. In the intersecting gap of time and space, she and the police started a physical and mental battle. A fight to the death.
This is a theme that has never appeared in China. As a party with public power, it is the villain, just like the evil police and demon police in Hong Kong movies.
This kind of subject matter, even if you think about it, it will definitely not pass the review.
But the ending is really amazing. Ayu secretly hid the body of the inspector general's son under the police station. The inspector general thought about finding his son every day, but he didn't know that his son was under his feet.
For a standard scripted movie, the success of the entire movie depends entirely on how amazing the script is.
Similar movies include "The Sixth Sense" and "Black Hole Frequency". It can be said that the movie is good-looking simply because the direction of the script exceeds people's expectations.
The greater the sense of surprise, the more successful the movie will be.
But at the same time, this kind of movie has extremely high requirements for the protagonist's performance, which is why Zhang Chen did not dare to give Xu Qing a vote.
At the same time, passing review is also a big problem, so when he asked the screenwriting team to improve it, he proposed two versions.
One is the original version of Bai Xiang, which is "Manslaughter and Concealment", in which the protagonist and his family escape justice in the end.
The other one is based on the domestic version, where the protagonist surrenders.
Of course what he wanted to shoot was the version of "Manslaughter". From the perspective of the movie effect, the ending is even more amazing.
But there is a high probability that it will not pass the review, so I prepared another one that can pass the review. At worst, I will learn from "Dark Invasion" and shoot two endings. The one that can pass the review will be used in China, and the other one will be used abroad.
