Senior Superstar

  Chapter 1163, this script is pretty hard! (Look for a monthly pass!)

   Chapter 95

  In this time and space for three years, Li Shixin has nothing to adapt to.

  The cultural background and world pattern of the two time and space are basically the same.

   But in fact, if you really look into it carefully, there are still many differences between this time and space and the world where Li Shixin lives.

  Politics, the subtle differences in the world structure, such as Li Shixin’s old business in the entertainment industry, are actually very different.

  Many cultural and entertainment works that Li Shixin is familiar with do not exist in this world. However, in contrast, many excellent works that Li Shixin didn't have in the time and space originally appeared like flowers in this time and space and had an impact on people's lives.

  When he was in China, Li Shixin specially studied this difference. But for Hollywood, he really didn't pay much attention.

  Now, seeing Li Shixin in "The Silent Lamb" in the audition list is really a bit surprised.

  "Is this movie a remake or"

  He pointed to the audition table and looked at Eddie Tucker.

   "You said this?"

  Receiving the information in Li Shixin's hand, Eddie Tucker read it roughly, and then shook his head.

"No, this movie is a script from a long time ago. A film company wanted to shoot it before. But because of a series of accidents, it was put on hold. It was only recently that someone found it from the script library and bought the copyright and planned to shoot it. . Godfather, are you interested in this script and character?"

  In response to Eddie Tucker’s weird gaze, Li Shixin nodded.

  More than just interest

  The name of the character on the audition list is "Hannibal Lecter".

  In the original time and space of Li Shixin, the most famous ogre!

"Well,"

  Aditak grinned, with a weird expression, tentatively asked again;

   "Godfather. Are you really sure, going to audition for this role?"

   Seeing the rather uncomfortable expression of his No. 8 or No. 9 godson, Li Shixin wondered;

   "Why, what is wrong with this film?"

   "Ahem, you want to talk about other movies, maybe I don't know. This movie, every Hollywood producer knows it. That. Some people think that this script is ‘ominous’."

   "Ominous?"

  The kind with red hair all over?

  Li Shixin raised his brows, and the doubt in his eyes became even greater.

  Under his gaze, Eddie Tucker coughed awkwardly. Hesitating to introduce the situation of the crew of "The Silent Lambs";

  Movies actually have destiny.

  For example, there used to be a movie in Hong Kong called "New Dragon Inn".

  This martial arts film directed by Tsui Hark, starring Leung Ka Fai, Donnie Yen, Brigitte Lin and Maggie Cheung almost represents the pinnacle of Hong Kong martial arts movies.

  But at the beginning, this film was actually created by the famous agent Cai Ziming, specifically for Jet Li.

  In the past, "Huang Feihong" was on fire, but Jet Li felt that Jiahe was unfairly distributed and wanted to leave. In the end, Cai Ziming came forward, not only let Jiahe compensate him for the remaining pay, but also promised to return Jet Li free.

After    officially became Jet Li’s agent, Cai Ziming immediately began filming "New Dragon Inn". The movie was about to let Michelle Yeoh serve as the heroine at the time, and even thought of using Stallone as a guest.

  But just after Cai Ziming and Michelle Yeoh had just negotiated the shooting at the Nikko Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui East, they were assassinated by two gunmen posing as security guards.

  Due to the Cai Ziming incident, Jet Li missed the shooting of "New Dragon Inn".

After the turmoil subsided, He Yuankui and others established Zhengdong Film Company. And immediately launched a kung fu film tailored specifically for Jet Li, which has aroused great repercussions in mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong, and even once made the three-sided army thorn a best-seller-"Zhongnanhai Bodyguard".

  Zhengdong Film Company did not exist for too long. After shooting "Fang Shiyu", many film investments failed and the company went bankrupt. Coupled with the failure of his lover Lizhi's business in the mainland, Jet Li had to sell himself to the Chinese guy, signed a three-year contract for six movies, and an advance payment of 72 million yuan to get out of trouble.

  If "New Dragon Inn" is starring Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh, and Stallone has a cameo, the Chinese film world may lose a classic martial arts movie.

  But from another perspective, if the film was played by Li Lian, then there would be no Zhengdong Film Company. There will be no "Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai" specially built for Jet Li, and the six films shot in the past three years when he sold himself to the powerful Chinese guys.

  Which six films?

  "Heaven Slaying the Dragon", "New Shaolin Five Ancestors", "Jingwu Heroes", "Letters to Dad", "Die Hard", "Adventure King".

  It may seem a bit metaphysical to say this, but it is the case; movies, like people, have destiny.

  In many cases, a series of coincidences, or accidents occur at any link, a movie may catch fire or die.

  This time and space of "The Silent Lamb" is like this;

  The film's novel of the same name was noticed by Hollywood in 1990, and it was planned to buy the right of adaptation from the author for film and television.

  But on the day when the film and television company was talking about copyright with the author, the novelist Thomas Harris was killed in a car accident on the way to the film and television company.

  When the police cleaned up the scene of the accident, they even found an unsigned authorization contract in Thomas’s jacket pocket.

  That’s it, the movie ran aground for the first time.

  After Thomas' death, his two wives and children went to court due to inheritance issues, which led to the indefinite extension of the film and television adaptation plan of the novel.

  It wasn't until eight years later that the copyright issue of the novel finally became clear. The second wife, who inherited most of Thomas's estate, sold the adaptation rights of the novel to Hollywood's TJ.Ford film and television company.

  After obtaining the copyright, the latter was ready to shoot in 2000.

  Ke Destiny was not ready to let go of this difficult-to-birth movie. The director and actors were found in TJ.Ford Company. When they were about to start shooting in their own studio, the studio burst into flames.

As a result, the fire door was blocked due to the safety hazard of the studio itself, causing the film’s director Bert José, producer Bobby Godwin, starring Aldez Garcia and two crew photographers to be alive. Burned to death.

  For this accident, TJ.Ford paid a total of more than 70 million US dollars in compensation, and the company went bankrupt.

  In this way, the movie aborted again.

  The copyright of this film was also acquired by another film company "Simon Davis Entertainment" for a cabbage price of 200,000 U.S. dollars, and it was ready for shooting in 2011.

  It is surprising that on the eve of filming, the heroine of the film, Alia Hazard, died of drug abuse. She was found dead in her mansion in Los Angeles.

  In the live photos released by the paparazzi, the script of "The Silent Lamb" stained with Alia's vomit once again caused a sensation and curiosity.

  That's it. After playing this three-time aborted R-rated film, it became an urban legend in Hollywood. It has become an existence that every film company and production director avoids.

  Li Shixin hissed after listening to Eddie Tucker's talk about the twists and turns of the film's shooting experience.

  Your mother,

  First Pok died the original author of the script.

  Second Polk died. The director, producer, actor and two crews were photographed.

  The heroine died in the third Polk.

  This script has a very hard life!
