America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM.

Chapter 297: Dragon Ball starts, Xiao Liu's troubles

Eric finished reading the script of "Dragon Ball" and found that it was indeed in accordance with his requirements. It was not made up and turned into a melodramatic campus romance drama.

The dialogue also borrows and pays tribute to the comics in many places, and the screenwriter must have put a lot of thought into it.

The plot ends with the defeat of Piccolo in the first part, which covers the main plot of the first part and lays the groundwork for the Saiyan chapter in the second part.

Of course, it’s not that there were no deletions or revisions. A lot of the scenes involving Goku’s childhood were cut, and for example, all of Ranchi’s plot was deleted.

The first time he participated in the World Martial Arts Tournament was also briefly mentioned, and the focus was still on portraying the people in their adult state.

After all, the content of hundreds of episodes cannot be fully presented in two hours, even if it is expanded to three hours or three and a half hours like "The Lord of the Rings".

As long as the right choices are made, I believe most fans and audiences will agree with it.

He has already decided on several actors in his mind, including Samuel Jackson, Arnold Vosloo, and Noriyuki Morita.

The two most important female characters, Kiki appeared a little late, but she has a serious face of oriental descent.

Including the way she dresses, it has a very traditional oriental style, a bit like Acorus in Ranma, which is something Liu Yifei can wear.

It doesn't matter if her role is a little small. If she is given more roles and more fighting scenes, she will definitely gain a large number of fans and her popularity will rise to an order of magnitude around the world.

Bulma appears the earliest and her face is more Western, so we can find a European or American actress.

However, the essence of "Dragon Ball" is still a passionate comic for men, and Bulma's role is actually not that big. Generally, she will disappear as soon as the battle plot begins.

No need to think, you must use your own woman.

Neeko and Charlize Theron are not suitable, their personalities and temperaments cannot show Bulma's liveliness. Gadot has already starred in "Transformers" and "The Hunger Games", so she doesn't need them anymore.

Ashley and Mary were no match for him either, as they were too short to handle the situation and it was not a good thing for them to stand next to the soldiers.

Not to mention little Elizabeth, who hasn't fully grown up yet and has some baby fat on her face.

However, with Eric's cultivation and nourishment, I believe she will grow rapidly soon.

After choosing and choosing, only Daddario is the most suitable. She is very suitable for the role of a carefree personality, and she has a hot body, which is more in line with Bulma's personality. Her age is also relatively acceptable.

As for Bulma's scientist temperament, it will not be revealed until the Saiyan chapter. Daddario needs to make up for it in this aspect, but there is still a lot of time and he can train the props.

The girl has been taking good care of herself lately, but the script for "Fallout" hasn't been written yet, and she hasn't found a new job yet, so it's better to give her a big one.

Wait until the harem is completely stable, and then find an opportunity to bring her into the villa.

By the way, there is also Xiao Liu. Let’s take this opportunity to get to know each other better so that it will be less awkward when we sleep in the same bed in the future.

As for the most crucial character, Wukong, Eric couldn't find a suitable candidate. He thought about using Lin Ludi, but that face was a bit childish and feminine, which was not suitable for Wukong.

In the early stage, Goukong is a handsome and simple character who seems silly. Using actors like Tony Leung and Jude Law, who seem to have a story-telling face, gives people a feeling that the product does not match the image.

After transforming into a golden super racer, Gou Kong's temperament changes to be profound and handsome. Especially when the battle reaches its climax, he often shows a hint of divinity, which is difficult for ordinary actors to control.

After thinking it over, Eric still couldn't think of a suitable candidate, so he clapped his hands and startled Carol in with a bang.

She came in hurriedly: "Boss, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

"No, let's make an announcement to the public. We will hold open auditions for important roles in Dragon Ball, including the male lead Son Goku. We need two actors, one big and one small, to play different periods."

"Contact Akira Toriyama in Japan and send him my revised script for review."

"Hmm? Do we still need to ask for his opinion on the script?"

Eric could read her mind just by thinking with his butt.

"Carol, don't look down on others with arrogance. Hollywood always likes to be superior to others, but that's wrong. It should be said that the film and television circles all over the world look down on the novel and comics industry, so they randomly change other people's works."

“Those works that can be changed have proven themselves to be good enough. You can modify the details to make them more suitable for the big screen, but don’t change the framework at will and make the story unrecognizable.”

"And Akira Toriyama is a master of comics, a world-class comics master, and I respect him very much."

Carol nodded humbly, offering the emotional value of obedience: "Okay, boss, I will always keep your words in mind."

"In addition, we will formally form a team and start the project within two months."

"Okay, so who did the director choose?"

"I!"

"yourself?"

"What's wrong? Isn't it appropriate?"

"No, I think the fans will be happy, but you're not going to do those sequels? Like House of Cards Season 2."

"I will be the executive producer and screenwriter, and control the general direction. James Foley will take over. He is a very experienced and veteran director."

When the news of the auditions for "Dragon Ball" was announced, it undoubtedly caused a stir in the industry.

The male actors were all excited, especially the young ones, whose blood was burning with passion.

It is now 2004, and it has been exactly 1984 years since Dragon Ball first aired on TV in . This super hot-blooded comic has long been popular all over the world.

No matter from which angle you look at it, in terms of the number of peripheral products, copyright granting, game development, big movies, and other aspects, "Dragon Ball" is undoubtedly the world's number one.

Although the sales of the comics were later surpassed by One Piece, in terms of global influence, One Piece is still quite far from Dragon Ball.

Because Japan accounts for about 70% of the sales of "One Piece" comics, while Japan accounts for more than 20% of the sales of "Dragon Ball" comics, and nearly % in the world.

This can be seen from the continuous tributes to "Dragon Ball" from countries around the world. No other anime has such dominance.

Even the image ambassador of the Tokyo Olympics was chosen after voting, and Goku stood out from a group of super popular candidates such as Naruto, Sailor Moon, Doraemon, and Luffy. The reason was that Son Goku was more famous worldwide.

Anyone who has watched Dragon Ball knows that when he was young, he would shout out Kamehameha and Kamehameha!

You also need to stand in a horse stance and make the posture of rubbing the Qigong waves to make it perfect.

For the actor, this role is like a dream come true, and the director column clearly states Eric Cooper.

What concept?
Is Transformers good to watch? Is it cool? Is it awesome? Is it a big hit at the box office?
"Blue Is the Warmest Color" won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, allowing the Olsen sisters to successfully transform themselves. It has also won numerous awards at home and abroad and is a model of art films.

"House of Cards" plays with political thrillers and black humor, and has gained explosive reputation.

Even "Get Out" and "Frozen," for which he served as the screenwriter, were box office jackpots and won numerous awards.

There is no doubt that he is an awesome director who can handle any style. He has an extremely keen sense of the market and is good at training and discovering actors. The scripts and variety shows he participates in producing are very popular.

His personal involvement represents MGM's attitude, and it must be an A-level production with a huge investment.

If you seize the opportunity, you will be in heaven!
As a result, Eric began to receive various calls, text messages, and invitations, and all his father's troubles were concentrated on him.

Brad Pitt: "Eric, I noticed that MGM is going to make Dragon Ball. Is there a role suitable for me?"

"Peter, you don't want to play the Monkey King, do you?"

"Haha. From your tone, I know it's not suitable. I don't want to play the leading role. A cameo role is fine."

"That's no problem, a martial artist, but you might have to be prepared to be killed." "No problem, start shooting and tell me, thanks!"

Leonardo DiCaprio: "Eric, I'm only 30 years old this year. Actually, if I put on makeup, I should be able to play the adult Monkey King."

"Brother, you are not serious."

"Uh hahaha, just kidding."

"Leon, the role of Goku is not suitable for you, but I think the role of Trunks, the big Trunk from the future time and space, is very suitable for you."

"And the character has very profound connotations, and the depth of portrayal is rare in Dragon Ball, which can show your acting skills."

"Trunks? Isn't he only going to appear in the Cell arc?"

"Yes, so I hope you can keep your figure. The most essential part of the Cell arc is the future world. It can be made into a movie on its own, and you can be the lead actor."

"And we don't have to wait too long. The project will definitely start in three years at most."

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for your good news. Come to my house when you have time. There will be a big party this Friday night."

Tobey Maguire: "Director, do you think I'm suitable for the role of Sun Wukong?"

"Toby, you're a little too skinny."

"I can work out and gain muscle. I work very hard."

"But the project will start in two months at most. I can't give you too much time."

"Well, give me a cameo role. It doesn't matter if I don't have any lines."

"no problem."

Chris Evans: "Boss, my muscles are back, let me play the Monkey King."

"You haven't finished filming Captain America and Transformers yet, get the hell out of here. Actors should love their jobs and be dedicated to their work, and not be half-hearted."

Robert Downey Jr.: "Director, please put on my makeup so I can play Master Roshi."

"You're thinking shit!"

Jake Gyllenhaal: "I can play a different kind of Wukong."

Dwayne Johnson: "Look at my bald head, let me play Clint, Director. What? Napa!"

Family Man: "Mr. Cooper, has anyone taken the role of Tien Shinhan?"

Ryan Reynolds even directly posted a video in which he set up the camera in the living room and then took a few steps back.

"Next, you will see the most explosive transformation scene in history. Be careful not to blink."

After saying that, he clenched his fists and roared madly. The continuous roar seemed like he was dying, and his eyes rolled back, as if he was really going to become a super Saiyan.

Suddenly, there was a "swish" sound, and the clothes on Xiao Jianjian's upper body were torn to pieces by invisible hands on both sides, revealing his fake muscles underneath.

He pretended to be out of breath and said, "Now, standing in front of you is the legendary Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan!"

Eric was speechless after watching this overly explosive and abstract performance, and then he uploaded it to YouTube.

Let the audience judge whether you can play Wukong.

At Los Angeles International Airport, Eric drove his newly purchased Hummer to a stop at the exit.

When you are famous, you are prone to gossip. In order to avoid being photographed by paparazzi, he has to change his car every once in a while.

Soon, Liu Yifei came out wearing big sunglasses. She was not famous enough in the United States, so there were no paparazzi following her.

boom!
The door closed and the car started.

"Where's your mom?"

"Mom and the assistant are leaving together. They are going back to the hotel to rest for the jet lag."

"She doesn't care about you this time? She doesn't object to you getting in my car?"

"Hehe. I told her, but mom didn't say anything. Maybe that's her tacit approval."

Liu Yifei asked in a somewhat strange tone, "Eric, ever since our mother came to our hotel that time, she seems to have changed a lot."

"Becoming reasonable?"

"Yes, I have become much more talkative. What did you talk about that day? My mother was actually convinced by you!"

Eric chuckled and thought to himself, it's true that she slept with me. If you didn't know, I couldn't even remember how many times I slept with her.

I spank her hard every time she goes to sleep. After so many times, she feels uncomfortable if I don’t spank her. I will put handcuffs and shackles on her next time.

"I am a very good speaker, and your mother just cares about you too much, she doesn't mean any harm."

"Yes, I know. I immigrated to the United States with her when I was very young. It was not easy for her either."

Liu Yifei seemed to recall her childhood experiences and suddenly fell silent.

"Eric, I want to ask you a favor, would you be willing to help me?"

"Go ahead, your business is my business."

Seeing his decisive attitude, Liu Yifei immediately leaned over excitedly, and the two started a tongue duel.

Well.
After kissing for a long time, the temperature in the car rose by several degrees, and then Xiao Liu let go.

She said breathlessly, "Actually, I came back to China to film The Legend of Sword and Fairy. The work was supposed to end last month, but something delayed me and I haven't come back yet."

"what's up?"

"One is Zhang Jizhong, the director of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. He invited me to star in another martial arts TV series, The Return of the Condor Heroes, and I was treated as the leading actress."

"Well, I have some impression. Martial arts is a unique romance that belongs to the Chinese. It is very beautiful and great!"

"The other one is Chen Jinfei. Do you know him?"

Eric's expression turned serious: "I heard about it from your mother, but she just mentioned it briefly. I don't know the details. What's the matter?"

Liu Yifei hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.

"In fact, Chen Jinfei is my godfather. You can roughly understand godfather as godfather. He was the one who was behind the scenes when I was able to get good resources right after returning to China."

"Even Zhang Jizhong joined the entertainment company he founded. The company actually only has one artist, and that's me."

"But since last year, after I met you, I came to Hollywood to develop my career, and our relationship has become increasingly distant."

"Now he wants me to take on The Return of the Condor Heroes. What do you think I should do?"
