Zhou Shaoming called Akiva to his villa to discuss the idea of ??a new script! When Zhou Shaoming saw the giant pandas from China with his own eyes, he had a new idea in his mind!
A movie about Chinese cultural elements was born! Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath! After some thinking, Zhou Shaoming was not interested in filming Chinese martial arts movies!
No matter how superb your shooting skills are, it is impossible to compare with local Chinese directors. After all, among the movie kingdoms, China is recognized as the kingdom of martial arts movies!
However, the reason why Hollywood movies can frequently enter the Chinese film market and receive praise from audiences is the quality of the movies themselves!
The grandeur of the scene and the splendor of the stunts often give people a shocking and passionate emotion, under such circumstances! Hollywood blockbusters have always been popular movies!
Therefore, although Zhou Shaoming wants to make a movie with Chinese elements this time, he is not stupid enough to compare his own shortcomings with others' strengths!
Cartoon films have been listed as a major Oscar award. Such films also fully demonstrate their popularity in the film market! So this time Zhou Shaoming plans to shoot a cartoon!
However, I am still a little worried! After all, cartoons are a high-tech product, especially in the film market environment like Hollywood. To shoot a successful cartoon requires very clever shooting methods and long-term processing of movie shots!
In the past, Zhou Shaoming would definitely not have been completely sure to complete this cartoon, but after filming Iron Man 1!
Zhou Shaoming gradually gained confidence in movies like this! Zhou Shaoming, who planned to finalize the matter, quickly called Akiva, the screenwriter boss of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, while taking a shower!
Although he was worried about this matter during his conversation with Akiva, Zhou Shaoming did not back down, as long as Akiva could deliver the plot he requested!
Then, leave the rest to yourself!
"You mean, the background of this movie is a group of animals?" Akiva frowned. Can such a cartoon really attract the audience to come to the theater to watch it? ,
"The film is shot well and the publicity is well done, so the audience will naturally appreciate it! You don't need to think about these for now, just concentrate on completing the script. .ok?" Zhou Shaoming reminded Akiva!
Akiva took a deep breath and asked Zhou Shaoming: "But, after all, I don't know much about China, so I can't possibly write such a script according to your request?" This is something Akiva has been thinking about on the road. In fact, Zhou Shaoming knew this very early!
Zhou Shaoming knew about this. When the script of Detective was released, it was also written by a young editor in the editorial department! "I know this, but this script is very important. I hope that you will personally supervise the script. If possible, you can also write the parts you know and complete them separately! After all, those young editors are not experienced enough." Zhou Shaoming explained his idea!
"I understand." Akiva finally breathed a sigh of relief. After knowing exactly what Zhou Shaoming meant, Akiva began to feel a little relieved!
"This script features a panda as the protagonist. This chubby guy doesn't know any martial arts, but he has always had a dream, which is to become an unparalleled martial arts. When the martial arts conference is held, a martial arts hero will be selected to inherit the important task of defeating the scum of the martial arts. , the final outcome can be imagined." Zhou Shaoming roughly told the story that came to his mind!
"Zhou, since you have figured out the story, why don't you write it yourself?" Akiva was a little surprised. What is Zhou Shaoming's brain made of? He has even arranged such a thing. Since he has the main line of the story, why not write it himself? To write?
Zhou Shaoming said in surprise: "Ask me to write it. It may not be completed after a year and a half. By the time I finish writing it, I think the movie will have been shot and released long ago. It is such a waste of resources! It will kill me even more."
Zhou Shaoming was a little helpless, hearing Akiva¡¯s voice of surprise!
"Okay, is there anything else you want to add?" Akiva asked Zhou Shaoming in front of him!
Zhou Shaoming turned the notebook in front of him to Akiva and said: "This is the information I just found! In Chinese martial arts, Mantis Fist is famous, Tiger Fist is famous, etc. These information may be helpful to you!"
Akiva hurriedly looked at the information on the computer and said, "Okay, I will sort it out!"
Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath and said to Akiva: "There is not much time. You must give me the plot of the story within three days at least!"
"Three days?" Akiva said with some surprise!
Zhou Shaoming nodded and said: "Everyone knows that this movie is very difficult to shoot and will take a long time, so it must be prepared in advance! I believe that under your personal supervision, within three days , you can give me the plot of the story, and within a week, I will be able to see all the characters, surnames, backgrounds, etc. that are indispensable to the script."
Akiva said with a wry smile: "I can't guarantee this. Time is too short, and I don't know much about Chinese culture! I don't dare to agree rashly!"
Zhou Shaoming also knew that Akiva was telling the truth, so he patted Akiva on the shoulder and said, "Okay, try your best!"
After Christina went upstairs, she changed into a set of clothes. Seeing that the two of them had been discussing, she did not come forward to disturb them. Gradually, the two began to joke!
Looking at the expressions of Zhou Shaoming and Akiva, Kristina asked the servant to prepare a fruit plate and brought it up!
¡°We¡¯ve been talking for so long, let¡¯s eat some fruit.¡± Christina said to Akiva!
Akiva took a piece casually, stuffed it into his mouth, and said to Kristina and Zhou Shaoming: "Then I'll get busy first."
Seeing Akiva leave, Kristina pouted and said, "Leaving so soon."
Zhou Shaoming said with a smile: "There is no way, Akiva has encountered a problem this time!"
Listening to Zhou Shaoming¡¯s words, Christina asked curiously: ¡°Are you making things difficult for the boss of our editorial department again?¡±
Zhou Shaoming shook his head. It¡¯s not difficult. He just hopes to start filming the next movie as soon as possible! If these editors were not given a time limit, they would keep putting off the manuscript!
When Akiva and Harry were writing this new movie, it was also Zhou Shaoming¡¯s last comfortable time! Face Kristina at home all day long!
It makes Kristina a little uncomfortable. In fact, Kristina feels mixed feelings. It is a kind of happiness for Zhou Shaoming to accompany her at home every day, but after all, it is only short-lived!
Avril is not at home. Sometimes when Kristina is at home, she feels like she doesn¡¯t know what to say when she sees Zhou Shaoming! After staying together for a long time, it seems like there is nothing left to talk about!
Zhou Shaoming looked at the calendar, good guy, what on earth did Akiva do? Ten days have passed and the script hasn't been completed yet?
Zhou Shaoming, who was a little anxious, was waiting anxiously in front of the sofa. In fact, Zhou Shaoming and Kristina were in the same mood. A grown man staying at home all day, seemingly doing nothing, really made Zhou Shaoming a little embarrassed!
However, even when I return to the company, I sit in the office all day with nothing to do! The first half of this year is when Supernova Film and Television Company collectively shoots movies. Presumably there will be no movies released in the first half of the year!
And the new movie I am currently working on is just waiting for the script!
"Zhou, is there anything going on this year?" Christina came back from outside and looked at the anxious Zhou Shaoming!
Zhou Shaoming frowned, glanced at Kristina, and said, "Not yet, what's wrong?"
Christina said truthfully: "Today I made an appointment with some friends from the church to visit the lonely elderly people in the nursing home. Do you want to go with me?"
Zhou Shaoming hesitated for a moment and asked Kristina: "Do you go there often? Aren't you afraid of being followed by reporters?"
Christina said: "Don't worry, my whereabouts are very confidential from the church."
When Zhou Shaoming heard what Christina said, he nodded and said, "Okay!"
Zhou Shaoming and Christina came to the nursing home, together with the church pastor, and everyone came to the nursing home!
In fact, Zhou Shaoming himself hopes to participate in more activities like this, but due to his identity, there are some things that Zhou Shaoming cannot just do if he wants to!
Zhou Shaoming, who has been idle during this period, followed Kristina to the nursing home to tell stories to the elderly here, which may be a bit clich¨¦!
However, seeing the kind smile of the old man here, Zhou Shaoming also felt a burst of relief in his heart!
Zhou Shaoming sometimes wonders, does he earn so much money every year? For what purpose? Of course, apart from the debt owed to the bank, the loan must be repaid to the bank every year. You must know that Zhou Shaoming's loan from the bank is not as small as buying a house!
It means that you can have a secure life, so that you will not be lonely and helpless when you are old, and have to live in a nursing home for the rest of your life!
Sometimes even Zhou Shaoming laughs at himself. As a director, it is for art and for his own ideals! ofIndeed, which director has not thought this way? Zhou Shaoming often thinks about how perfect and ideal the movies I make should be! No ads, no box office required!
But, you can¡¯t support yourself at all like that! If you can¡¯t survive, let alone talk about dreams! Box office is the true expression of a movie! The movie "Titanic" has created a box office performance of 2.2 billion. It is an unsurpassable myth in Hollywood to this day!
Zhou Shaoming¡¯s greatest ideal is to surpass this classic in his lifetime! But before that, Zhou Shaoming has a more practical problem, which is to pay off the loan he owes to the bank as soon as possible. Paying off this huge loan early will prove that Zhou Shaoming has turned around at that time!
Thinking of this, I looked at the old man in front of me and asked Kristina: "Excuse me, our housekeeper, how much money do you plan to donate to the nursing home this time?"
Christina frowned, Zhou Shaoming, who never asked about these things, why did he suddenly ask about it today! Although Zhou Shaoming is very popular outside one day, as a famous Hollywood director, Zhou Shaoming actually doesn't know how to do many things at home!
I don¡¯t know how to repair furniture or faucets, so I have to hire people to do a lot of things! It is also because of this that Zhou Shaoming rarely asks about trivial matters!
"I don't know. Since you are here today, you decide."
Listening to Christina¡¯s response, this cunning Christina, with such an answer, obviously escaped her share of the money donated when she comes here to participate in such activities!
Zhou Shaoming said helplessly: "I don't want to check your account. What I want to say is that since I am here today, I will donate two people's share of the money. I hope I can help the people here!"
Christina¡¯s eyes lit up and she asked happily: ¡°Are you telling the truth?¡±
Zhou Shaoming frowned and said with a smile, "Am I usually stingy? Why do you have such an expression?"
Kristina shook her head and said: "No, I just thought that we still have so many loans from the bank! But when I see every time I come to the orphanage or nursing home, I can't help it!"
Zhou Shaoming looked at Kristina's words, pressed Kristina's lips, and said to Kristina: "Okay, don't I know what kind of person you are? It doesn't matter, anyway, we make money Money has to be spent, and if it is spent elsewhere, it is better to help other people. As for repayment, don¡¯t worry about it! Otherwise, you will age early."
It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when the phone rang. At this time, Akiva called!
Ten days have passed, I think Akiva will be able to hand over the manuscript! Zhou Shaoming finally breathed a sigh of relief. After answering Akiva's call, he came to Kristina and said, "I have to go to the company and I can't accompany you."
Christina nodded and watched Zhou Shaoming leave!
In Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, Zhou Shaoming quickly came to his office! Akiva and Harry had already been waiting for Zhou Shaoming's arrival in the office!
"Zhou, they have arrived to see you and are waiting for you." Benjamin said to Zhou Shaoming!
Zhou Shaoming entered the office, and Benjamin brought a cup of tea. Zhou Shaoming saw Akiva and Harry and asked, "Is the script completed?"
Akiva nodded! But it seems like I have no confidence! Zhou Shaoming frowned, and when he took the script, he asked, "What? Are you not confident in the script this time?"
Harry said excitedly: "Of course, it's just!" Harry said and glanced at Akiva, "It's just that we feel that Director Zhou seems to be a little demanding this time, so we are a little worried."
Zhou Shaoming looked at young Harry and opened the script!
"Kung Fu Panda!" Zhou Shaoming looked at the name of the script and took a deep breath, "What a good name!" Yes, that's the script with such a name! Judging from the name of the script alone, it already meets my requirements!
Kung Fu Panda tells the story of a clumsy panda who doesn¡¯t understand martial arts at all and aspires to become a martial arts hero!
This story takes place in the Peace Valley, which is full of animals. Most of the residents here are good at martial arts, and there are peerless masters in the valley who are protecting the safety of the valley!
The protagonist, the panda Abao, is one of the few residents in the valley who does not know martial arts. He followed his father to open a noodle shop in the valley! The fat and slow Po often helps his father in the noodle shop, and his father also hopes that Po can inherit the noodle shop!
However, Po only wanted to learn martial arts and become the number one kung fu master in the valley! Such a dream is simply a far-fetched dream for the lazy A Bao.An attainable dream!
Master Oogway has had an ominous premonition recently: the big demon Snow Leopard Dragon is about to break out of the dark prison that has trapped it for many years. After Dalong is released from prison, he will definitely come to Peace Valley for revenge. Therefore, Peace Valley will immediately hold a martial arts conference to elect a representative to fight against Dalong.
The people in the valley are most optimistic about the five masters in the valley: the tiger, the snake, the golden monkey, the crane and the mantis. These five masters competed on the martial arts stage set up by their master. Since God's will is this, Master has no choice but to certify Abao's qualifications. However, it is a fact that Po does not know martial arts, so turning this fat panda into a martial arts master in a short period of time becomes the biggest challenge in Master's career. At the same time, the five masters, A Bao's senior brothers and sisters, treated A Bao with various attitudes and ways.
When Master Red Panda was desperate, Master Oogway firmly affirmed Po's strength and believed that he would definitely become the owner of martial arts secrets! In an accident, Master saw Po's potential and decided to use this Potential is discovered. Master used a special teaching method to turn A Bao into a master of martial arts in a short period of time. After getting the real martial arts secret book, A Bao opened the secret book and was surprised to find that it was empty. Therefore, Master decided to deal with the snow leopard himself and let A Bao and his disciples lead the people of Peace Valley to escape. When Po was on the run, his father told him that there was no secret recipe for the ancestral noodle soup in his family. The secret to good taste was the noodles themselves! Po suddenly thought of the empty secret recipe that reflected his own. He suddenly understood that there was nothing at all. The secret book, and the meaning expressed by the secret book is that the highest state of martial arts is oneself! So he decided to go back and help Master Raccoon defeat Dalong! After the fierce battle, Po used his own understanding of martial arts and the martial arts taught by his master to defeat the dragon. Killed the dragon, saved the valley, and brought peace to the valley.
Two full hours passed, and Zhou Shaoming never put down the script until the moment he finished reading it! Zhou Shaoming nodded, with a stiff smile on his face, and said: "Very good!"
Feeling that he was almost stiff, Zhou Shaoming quickly stood up and said, "The story is very exciting, but I realized that after reading it, my whole limbs were numb!"
"Is it really possible? Great!" Harry glanced at Akiva beside him! Show a proud smile! (To be continued.)
