Chapter [-] Capture the White House?

Hold the copyright in your hands, take the initiative, and decide when to shoot.

Isn't the celebration party just a show-off party?Zhang Yi, who has always been low-key, is playing high-key this time.

On the second day of the celebration, Zhou Runfa, Zhong Yihong and Liu Dehua flew back to Hong Kong.But Zhang Yi continued to stay in Los Angeles, and there are still some things he needs to deal with.

Inside Jiying Film Company, Zhang Yi glanced at Cameron, who was a little nervous in front of him, put down the script, smiled, looked at Bali Diller, and said, "What do you think?"

"It's worth filming." Bali Diller nodded, and then said, "This story must be very shocking when it is filmed. It is unlikely to lose money."

"Then shoot! How much investment do you need?" Zhang Yi nodded, and then looked at Cameron. Zhang Yi was still very satisfied with the script of the movie he wrote based on the story he provided.The logic is very strong, and the details are also in place.From the script, Zhang Yi could see that Cameron wrote the script very carefully, at least checked the information.

"5000 million." Cameron said.

"5000 million! How dare you speak up." Bali Diller looked at Cameron, and said immediately, "The boss's production and promotion of "Jurassic Park" is only more than 7000 million. You The shooting cost of the movie is actually two of "Jurassic Park."

The production cost of the original version of "Jurassic Park" was only more than 6000 million yuan, and the production cost of Zhang Yi's version was actually much less, but if the publicity is included, it is indeed more than 7000 million yuan.Of course, if you count the construction of the park, the purchase of the island, and the production of accompanying products, it must be over [-] million US dollars.

"Then I'll give you 5000 million." Zhang Yi waved his hand, then looked at Cameron and said. "Mr. Cameron, this movie was shot badly, and that movie will be gone."

Cameron naturally knew that the movie Zhang Yi was talking about was "Titanic"!As for the script of that movie, Cameron has already read it, and he can't wait to shoot it right away, but he knows that Zhang Yi is still not at ease to let him direct that movie, because he is afraid that he will not be able to control it.Therefore, I set up such a movie as a test.

For that movie.Cameron is extremely attentive to this movie.Moreover, as far as liking is concerned, although he prefers "Titanic", he still likes Zhang Yi's story very much.

Hijacked a civil aviation plane and crashed into the International Trade Building, the Price Building, and the White House.This is simply the imagination of a genius.

"Don't worry! If the 5000 million bid is still ruined, I, Cameron, don't have to shoot." Cameron said immediately.There was great confidence in that tone.

"Boss, that guy Cameron is famous for overspending. He was given 5000 million in the early stage, and I'm afraid there will be a lot more after the shooting. The cost of this movie exceeds [-] million, and the possibility of making money is very small. .” After Cameron left.Bali Diller then said to Zhang Yi.

"It's fine if you don't lose money. It doesn't matter if you stay with me. I just want to let those people know that I, Jiying Film Company, dare to invest in large-scale production movies again and again. Moreover, this movie. As long as it doesn't fail, it will count as an investment of [-] million , the possibility of losing money is not high." Zhang Yi smiled.Then he said, "Once this movie comes out, it will definitely cause a lot of discussion."

"The China World Trade Center was knocked down. Can it not cause a topic!" Bali Diller said immediately.He was still shocked by the plot where civil aviation was used to hit the China World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

"You said, if we make a movie in which terrorists capture the White House, will it be a hit?" Zhang Yi suddenly asked.

madman!When Bali Diller heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He felt that Zhang Yi's idea was really crazy.Let terrorists capture the White House, where is the face of the US government?What's more, to shoot this kind of movie, you must go to the North Palace to shoot the scene, which is definitely a difficulty.

"Isn't it possible?" Zhang Yi looked at Bali Diller, and then said, "Just take the capture of the White House, which has a very high security factor, as a selling point. The box office should not be bad."

"The White House Has Fallen" and "Shocking Crisis"!These are the two movies that Zhang Yi had seen in his previous life where the White House was captured.Leaving aside the movie's reputation and box office, Zhang Yi enjoyed watching it anyway.

"This is full of gimmicks, and the box office is guaranteed. However, it is unlikely that it will be filmed." Bali Diller shook his head and said immediately.If he didn't know himself as the boss, he might think that he has some evil intentions.First, civil aviation was used to hit the China World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the White House.Now, it's time to directly capture the White House.I don't know if the United States will be invaded next time.

"Then we'll talk about it later." Zhang Yi said with a smile.Now there is no need for future generations to capture the White House. It seems that it is still impossible to do it in the movie.

"Speaking of this, I thought of another story." Zhang Yi smiled, and continued, "It's a science fiction film. The story will take place on July [-]nd of a certain year in the future."

"July [-]nd?" Bali Diller said one day, and felt that this day seemed a bit special, because two days later, it would be the Independence Day of the United States.This boss is not going to use America's Independence Day to start a campaign.

"This movie is the name, it's called: Independence Day!" Zhang Yi smiled and said, "On that day, surveillance stations across the United States discovered a huge spaceship with a diameter of hundreds of miles approaching the earth. The spaceship sent out a radio signal Interfering with communications satellite signals from Earth."

"The big spaceship released 36 sub-spaceships to the sky above the major cities of the earth. People in the world feel confused and fearful, but some people welcome the appearance of the peace messenger. But computer engineer David found that the aliens sent out The signal was actually a countdown signal to the attack. David managed to communicate this signal to his wife, Connie, who is an aide to the president. However, the relationship between the two has broken down.”

"The government tried to contact the aliens but failed. The president was worried. After learning the information brought by David, he hurriedly ordered the evacuation, but it was too late."

Zhang Yi slowly told the story of "Independence Day" to Bali Diller.

Bali Diller began to listen, feeling more and more that his boss had a bad taste.It is not enough to capture the White House, then use aliens to destroy the United States.

However, after hearing the latter, he gradually became fascinated.He is a filmmaker with great vision, so he can see that this movie is very interesting.

There was a war with aliens, and finally the hero saved the world.This fits perfectly with the heroic plot of American audiences.Aliens, heroes, warplanes.Typical American disaster sci-fi blockbuster mode.

The original version of this movie was produced in 95 and released in 96. The cost was only more than 7000 million U.S. dollars, but the global box office has exceeded [-] million U.S. dollars.Definitely a big money making production.

Of course, there is another important reason, that is, Zhang Yi likes this movie very much.

Like, there is money.Then it has to be stamped with Zhang Yi's mark.

"Script!" After hearing the accident, Bali Diller only said two words.He felt more and more that his boss was absolutely unmatched in screenwriting.

"Is there any problem with this movie?" Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Of course no problem." Bali Diller looked at Zhang Yi and said, "Boss, you made the President of the United States extremely brilliant in the film, not to please the White House and pave the way for your filming of capturing the White House."

When Zhang Yi heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and said, "If you can really please the White House, it would be an unexpected gain. Actually, I have a story in my heart about the capture of the White House, and in the film, the American president thinks it is a man. Number two, and it's brilliant."

The story in Zhang Yi's mouth is naturally "Shocking Crisis". Although the movie "White House Has Fallen" has a positive image of the president of the United States, compared to the performance of the president in "Shocking Crisis", it is somewhat inferior.At least, the president in "Shocking Crisis" was not hijacked, and he had a few fights with terrorists.

"Why don't you tell me? It's not certain, the White House really agrees." Bali Diller said with a smile when he heard it. (To be continued..)
