At first, I just wanted to make money

The Oscars are also divided into younger years. In the original time and space, the films nominated this year are "The Queen", "Little Miss Sunshine", "Letters from Iwo Jima", "Babel", "The Departed"...

"The Queen" is a typical Oscar taste, but the quality of the film is weak. "Little Miss Sunshine" is not that good. "Letters from Iwo Jima" is a standard Eastwood movie. I just won an Oscar, "Babel" is not a typical Oscar taste, and the director is still a new generation of foreign countries;

"The Departed Walker", a new domestic national treasure, is not as sharp as the previous film, and the market response is very good. If you don't give an award, you will be embarrassed!

So, straight to Martin Scorsese...

"Carol" is also an atypical Oscar taste, and last year "Brokeback Mountain" won the Oscar for Best Director. The probability of "Carol" winning the award is very low...

After analyzing it, Harvey explained: "But the nomination is still guaranteed..."

"It's fine if you get nominated,"

Shen Xudong nodded, and asked about "Seeing the Devil": "If Leonardo plays the role, the cost may have to increase?"

"...That's for sure, but as long as he is willing to act, he will definitely earn money!"

Leonardo is a Hollywood miracle.

Let's put it this way, as long as Hollywood is still the world's film center, even after 100 years, young people will still remember him, just like we remember those big stars in the golden age now.

He belongs to the signboard of Hollywood, to put it in an exaggerated way: all the value and significance of Hollywood's existence in the world are shining on him.

Anyway, as long as the label sees his name, the green light is no nonsense.

Therefore, projects such as "The Great Gatsby" and "The Revenant" are not suitable for other people to act in. As soon as he joins, it will be done immediately!
As long as he has him, he can make money, even if the box office can't make money, the copyright of the video tape can make money!
Harvey continued: "If you want to cooperate with him, I think it's best to hand over the script to me to operate..."

"...Let's talk about it, I'll go back and discuss it with Joseph Drake..."

Harvey's face changed: "The script has already been registered?"

"Well...Joseph Drake helped register."

"Aren't you going to work with us?"

"This is not a type of thing at all." After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "If we follow the model of "Grind Room", I think we can make a "Pinhole Hotel"..."

"Hotel?"

"Yes, a couple about to divorce had to temporarily stay in a motel in the wilderness after their car broke down... After entering the hotel, the husband found that the contents were all extremely realistic bloody movies when he looked through the video tapes left in the TV cabinet, but What's even more shocking is that the scene in the movie is clearly the room they stayed in..."

"reality show?"

"Yes...the focus is on how to save yourself..."

Harvey's eyes lit up when he heard this: "This can definitely be made into a series!"

"This can be added to Grinding Chamber..."

"Grindhouse" is actually the collective name of two movies, "Planet Terror" and "Death Proof"...

It is mainly a tribute—the object of tribute is the Grindhouse film, and the so-called Grindhouse film. In the 70s and [-]s, some small theaters in the United States played a large number of more exciting movies for profit, so a large number of Grindhouse films with sexual, violent and bloody scenes Cost movies are officially on the stage, and a kind of "bump and grind" dance often appears in such movies, so this kind of movie is called "Grind Room Movie", and the theater that plays this kind of movie is called "Bump and Grind". "Grimoire Cinema"...

Quentin grew up watching these kinds of movies, so the taste is also biased towards these.

Shen Xudong nodded: "Alright, then change the setting to a divorce trip and go to Eastern Europe..."

Harvey wondered: "Eastern Europe?"

Quentin explained: "Our movies are all shot in Eastern Europe... I think it's good, we will start shooting next March..."

"Robert, what do you think?"

Robert Rodriguez immediately realized something and asked back: "...you asked me to direct?"

"Yes...is it okay?"

"No problem, did you write the script?"

"I wrote…"

……

It can only be said that it was a coincidence that Shen Xudong himself was preparing to do "The Fault in Our Stars". Didn't he meet Quentin? We agreed to make a wicked movie together...

"The Fault in Our Stars" will be pushed back.

Joseph Drake didn't care, he was busy with "The Grudge 2" in the US.

However, he had some complaints about Shen Xudong's cooperation with Harvey, because Harvey is notoriously greedy!
The great director Michael Moore, the best documentary director in Hollywood, made a film for Harvey Company, but was owed wages for two years, and finally went to court.

"It doesn't matter..."

Shen Xudong shrugged: "After this awards season, I will never have any interaction with him again!"

Joseph Drake: "Who are you going to work with on 'See the Devil'?"

"How about Scott Rudin?"

"...I can help you get in touch, but he probably doesn't have much interest in this subject...he's at Disney!"

"All right…"

Disney is synonymous with family fun, "I See the Devil" sells plasma, violence, and the style doesn't match!

"You prepare first... By the way, the director of "The Fault in Our Stars" can also be found..."

"OK!"

After explaining this, Shen Xudong got in the car and headed to the airport...

He is going back home.

……

That "Pinhole Hotel" is actually not a good idea. Compared with "Human Skin Inn" and "House of Wax Museum", it is a little bit less perverted...

This kind of movie is meaningless, just like "Human Purge Project", it belongs to selling creativity and satisfying the attributes of novelty hunting.

Shen Xudong received a script fee of 600 million US dollars and a production fee, and the copyright belongs to Weinstein Pictures...

It must be a loss, but to be honest, for this theme, 300 million US dollars is enough to shoot the cost, pay Robert Rodriguez 50 US dollars as the director, and then pay Joseph Drake 50 US dollars as the producer Fees, the rest belongs to net profit...

Why didn't Shen Xudong shoot it himself?
The reason is very simple. On the one hand, he has no time. On the other hand, he is not very interested in the subject matter itself. He just has some impressions after browsing the "Movies with a Little Broadness and a Great Model".

He once thought of making a name for himself through horror movies, so he has studied a lot of movies in this genre, because from a global perspective, horror movies are the most likely to be small and big.

For this subject matter, he has at least dozens of similar types of ideas, such as "Garage Fright", "Horror Basement" and so on.

Basically the plots are similar, a few idiots went to one place, and then died strangely one after another.

This type of movie, like "The Cabin in the Woods", has nothing new.

After all, Shen Xudong had to go back to China as soon as possible, the Golden Eagle Festival was about to start.
