    In the previous trajectory, the 2004 film "The Night Watchman" made Timo Bekmambetov famous all over the world. After "The Night Watchman", he stepped onto the Hollywood stage and filmed the 2008 film "The Night Watchman".  "Wanted Order", also known as "The League of Assassins".  The cost of "Wanted" was only US$75 million, and most of it was given to the heroine, Angelina Jolie, who became famous for "Tomb Raider".  For Hollywood, this is a small to medium budget movie.  In the first week of its release, it collided with "WALL-E", which had a box office of more than 500 million. In the second week, it ran into the blockbuster "Hancock", which had a box office of more than 600 million. In the third week, it ran into the blockbuster "Hellboy 2".  ": The Golden Army", in its fourth week it encountered the year's number one box office champion "Batman: The Dark Knight".  The tragedy couldn¡¯t be more tragic.  In this way, "Wanted" still relied on gorgeous action scenes, and it took in US$134 million in North America and US$341 million globally, becoming the number one dark horse in 2008.  It is now the beginning of 2004, and Timo Bekmambetov is still working for Dandelion to produce "Day Watcher". Therefore, "Wanted" was unceremoniously accepted by Wan Xiaohu.  This is a movie adapted from the comic book of the same name.  As early as last year, Wan Xiaohu bought the adaptation rights from the comic publisher Top-Cow-Productions and the original author Mark Miller.  Extensive revisions have been made. Except for some major parts, almost the entire plot has been revised.  This movie has gorgeous scenes, especially the bullets that are said to be able to turn, which makes people excited, but the plot is really a bit baffling.  Especially in the first paragraph, the protagonist is always frustrated.  It's so cowardly that it makes people crazy. Even though it was extremely released in the end, it still makes people feel that it was too suppressed in the past.  And the final scene of father and son recognizing each other and killing each other is as bloody as you want.  Therefore, Wan Xiaohu changed the background of the story to the East.  The plot has also been modified. The first half is appropriately suppressed and appropriately released, and the second half is where the real "gao chao" is repeated.  At the same time, the special effects of bullets are great, but they are too simple. There are only two tricks for turning and collision.  Seeing it too much makes you look numb.  Wan Xiaohu also incorporated some of the more exciting fighting scenes from later movies, striving to create an exciting action scene that is not inferior to any action blockbusters!  The heroine of the movie, Wan Xiaohu, has already been selected as Jessica Alba. This avoids hiring a big name and it is a Chinese film.  Therefore, basically more than half of the US$60 million cost will be spent on special effects production, unlike the original version where we did not dare to put in the effort to save money.  And this is only a tentative number. Without big-name stars, we must work hard on the scene. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?¡­  James Drake, the general manager of Tiger Raya, and Andrew Brown, the general manager of Sasha Entertainment.  Meet and greet at the airport.  When he arrived at the company, Wan Xiaohu started assigning tasks non-stop.  "James, I am very satisfied with the development of Tiger Ruiya. Just like this, we will spin off all the subsidiaries of Dandelion. In the future, we will develop towards four groups. I will give you a framework. In China, we will strive to develop into Dandelion Media Group and Time  Net Technology Group, in the United States, is working hard to develop Sasha Film Group and YouTube Internet Group. "Don't worry, Tiger, you will find that choosing me as a professional manager is a very wise thing." "That's good."  He was indeed very satisfied, and turned to Andrew Brown and said, "Andrew. There are two next plans for Sasha Entertainment. One is to prepare for the filming of "Saw 2". From the script to the director and actors, I will no longer interfere.  Trying to get this series started. The second plan is to prepare for my latest work, "Wanted"!" After a pause and giving Andrew time to think, Wan Xiaohu continued: "I have already created the storyboard script.  Now I need you to help me find a group of professional film workers from Hollywood and help me go through the co-production procedures. Sasha Entertainment and Dandelion Films will jointly invest in the film. "The purpose of going through the co-production procedures is naturally to get a share of the distribution in North America.  rights instead of being released as an imported film.  Relying on the market potential of the Chinese-speaking region, it is difficult to digest a movie with a cost of 60 million US dollars. If the North American side does not divide the accounts, it will really not make much money.  The United States has relatively loose qualifications for co-productions. As long as a Hollywood company participates, it can basically be counted as a co-production.  China is a bit more strict, but compared to the future, co-productions today are still extremely simple. As long as a Chinese company invests some money, it can be considered a co-production.  After explaining various matters and arranging people to form the crew, Wan Xiaohu himself slipped away. ?¡­ ?I haven¡¯t seen Jessica Alba for a few months, but when I saw her again, Jessica was still soBeautiful and charming, like a little sweetheart.  "Jessica, my baby!" "Tiger" As soon as they met, Wan Xiaohu gave Jessica a deep French wet kiss.  "Congratulations, Tiger. I saw reports that "The Wind" achieved great box office success in China. Many Hollywood media are paying attention to you. They call you the box office king of Asia." "Really?" Wan Xiaohu  He hugged Jessica¡¯s waist and raised his eyebrows.  "Of course." "Wow, that's really exciting news. Jessica, are you ready? The project of "Wanted" has begun. When the crew here is ready, we will  Went to China for filming. Have you said goodbye to your parents? "I have told my parents that I can't wait to see your hometown and see what China is like."  I will fall in love with China.¡± Although there is no time for further intimacy, it is still possible to get over the addiction of mouth and hands, so Wan Xiaohu spent a week with Jessica in the colorful world of Los Angeles.  Then he spent a Lantern Festival in Chinatown, USA, and returned to Hong Kong with a group of Hollywood elites.  From Hong Kong, a group of elites were summoned to complete the entire crew.     at the same time.  The Chinese and American co-production qualification certificates have also been obtained, and the filming can begin. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away  It was also officially released to the public.  "Wan Xiaohu's seventh film has been selected, the largest investment in the history of Chinese films, US$60 million to create "Wanted"!" - "Beijing Youth Daily" fired the first shot.  "With the ending of "The Wind", Wan Xiaohu, a fast-moving film maker, got into work again and spent 60 million US dollars to create the most luxurious Chinese-language blockbuster in history!" "Should we enter Hollywood or stay in the Chinese-speaking circle? Wan Xiaohu gave the answer  The answer is to work on both sides! The Sino-US co-production blockbuster "Wanted" will be jointly invested by domestic private film giant Dandelion Films and Sasha Entertainment, which released "Saw" in the United States, and invites the youngest and most outstanding businessmen in China.  Directed by director Wan Xiaohu. It is also reported that Sasha Entertainment also has a stake in Wan Xiaohu. ¡°You heard it right, Dandelion announced on its official website today that the seventh film directed by Wan Xiaohu.  "Wanted" has been officially approved, and the heroine will be played by Hollywood actress Jessica Alba, who has starred in "Saw". "What kind of movie is "Wanted" currently?  The name of the movie. And who the director is. But that¡¯s enough. As long as it¡¯s a movie directed by Wan Xiaohu, it¡¯s worth watching!¡± These are all positive media, and many media have expressed doubts.  "Nandu Entertainment Weekly": "From a 60 million yuan movie to a 60 million US dollar movie, the cost has soared more than eight times. Can Wan Xiaohu handle it? Li Yu and Wu Yusen have successively failed in big Hollywood productions.  "Why does Wan Xiaohu think he can control it?" "Chutian Metropolis Daily": "There is an investment of 60 million US dollars in Chinese-language films. This is a gratifying thing, but we also need to know the cost of 60 million US dollars.  , including promotion costs, it requires at least a box office of more than 150 million U.S. dollars. Currently, there are only two Chinese-language films that have sold more than 100 million dollars at the box office. "It doesn't matter what the media says."  Whether you praise it or pessimize it, you can't change the pace of "Wanted".  As soon as the news of the casting got out, Dandelion¡¯s phone calls were inundated with calls. Several artist management companies that had cooperated with Dandelion wanted to grab a role.  After all, a large-scale production worth 60 million US dollars is too rare. Being able to appear in such a movie, even for a second, is an excellent way to increase your fame.  And obviously, "Wanted" is a global blockbuster. For actors, what could be more attractive than such a movie?  There is no chance for the leading actress in the movie, but there are two supporting actresses, so the competition is fierce.  ¡°However, these two supporting actresses are both buffoons, and Wan Xiaohu has no intention of selecting artists from Flash Star.  In the end, the obese female boss, one of the supporting actresses, chose Zhang Haiyan after audition, a female fat man who made his debut very early and worked hard.  Another male protagonist¡¯s cheating girlfriend chose Huo Siyan, a female artist recommended by Huayi Brothers.  Wan Xiaohu already has candidates in mind for the number one and number two male roles.  The number one male lead, Wan Xiaohu, invited Chen Kun. This year, Chen Kun has officially switched jobs from Rongxinda and was hired by Flash Star. As someone who has collaborated with Wan Xiaohu on many films, he has a good relationship.My friend, Wan Xiaohu will not treat him badly, so this big production will be placed on Chen Kun's head.  The second male lead, the boss of the League of Assassins, has already sent a notice to the famous Hong Kong actor Zhou Runfa.  After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Fa Ge entered Hollywood. However, last year's "Bulletproof Monk" starring in "Bulletproof Monk" failed both at the box office and word-of-mouth, causing Fa Ge to decline even before his rise in Hollywood.  But in the Chinese area, Fa Ge¡¯s influence is absolutely huge, so Wan Xiaohu tried to invite him over, and offered the highest salary of US$5 million.  A few days later, Fa Ge personally called and said he agreed.  Among the remaining supporting actors, the actor's buddy, the actor who played Adam in the original "Saw", was chosen by Bob Smith.  The members of the League of Assassins have a relatively big lineup.  Cross is Sun Honglei, the gunman is Simon Yam from Universal Movies, the terminator is Huang Haibo, an old acquaintance of Wan Xiaohu, the repairman is Huang Bo, an artist from Flash Star, and the butcher is David Petrich, an unknown Hollywood actor.  Huayi Brothers recommended Chen Daoming to star as the actor's father, Mr.  So, the lineup of "Wanted" is complete.  Just waiting for it to start up!
