    It's possible to get a new movie out in time for August.  But if this movie is an action movie with Zhou Xingxing participating, it is still possible. For example, the director of this movie is named Wang. But for Shen Zhenghui, it is simply an impossible task. As far as he is concerned, except for  Apart from the short time it took for the first movie, which other movie didn't take enough time to craft carefully?  In addition, Zhou Xingxing has gradually gained the patience to sharpen his sword for ten years. It can be said that it takes half a year to shoot a film. If he wants to compress the filming and release of the film to three months -  ¡ªMission impossible.  Shen Zhenghui had to give up the idea of ??seeking death. He really wanted to shoot a scene of a plane crashing into a building, but in the end his reason made him give up the idea. Although this kind of scene also existed in "Tokyo Fortress" and "Urami Fortress"  The lens, but it¡¯s not that the skyscrapers don¡¯t feel imposing enough.  The script that Shen Zhenghui considered at the beginning was naturally "Kung Fu" that Zhou Xingxing would shoot in the future. After this script was released in 2004, it completely established Zhou Xingxing's status as an international director, and at the same time, it also allowed him to transition towards a career as a director.  .  For this movie, Sing Yeh also had a falling out with Brother Hong. The eldest brother's martial arts instructor left in the middle, so he had to ask Mr. Yuan from the Yuan Family Class to come to the rescue. Of course, this film also made Sing Yee a lot of money.  , the global box office reached 100 million US dollars.  Therefore, it is natural to consider this movie. Shen Zhenghui feels that if he shoots this movie, he does not need to improve his standards. He only needs to show his original standards, which will be enough to achieve great box office.  But after thinking about it carefully, I think it still doesn¡¯t work.  Zhou Xingxing himself found it really hard to make a movie. After half a year of choosing a heroine, he finally settled on Aquarius. Aquarius's role was deleted and she was like a passerby. That's it, this girl is still famous.  Then he made the heroines in his future movies - well, there are actually not many movies, but every heroine seems to show up deliberately, and star girls have become one of the shortcuts for female stars to become famous. Shen Zhenghui is not  I am a person with a moral obsession, but I feel that every time it is like this, it is a bit overwhelming.  In particular, Star Master has gradually become less fond of stealing the show.  But he suddenly went to another extreme and turned into a dedicated green leaf, which made Shen Zhenghui feel very uncomfortable.  As far as his personal perception is concerned, although Xingye's later movies have good box office and reputation, he still likes Xingye's early and early works that steal the show.  Since he became a pure director.  After Shen Zhenghui hid behind the movie, Shen Zhenghui felt that the attraction of Xingye's movies to him had also dropped a lot. Even the later great "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" he finally became interested in watching pirated copies online. This feeling is quite good.  It feels like he has grown up, because Shen Zhenghui's mother used to always say when he was laughing from ear to ear while watching Zhou Xingxing's movies, "What's so good about being noisy?" This actually made Shen Zhenghui  A source of persistence is that he is really unwilling to let Master Xing start his era as a green leaf.  So, the filming of "Kung Fu" will be postponed.  Suddenly, two names suddenly appeared in Shen Zhenghui's mind - "The Green Hornet" and "Kick-Ass".  The reason why I think of "The Green Hornet" is naturally because of Bruce Lee. As a loyal fan of Bruce Lee, the star himself really wants to remake "The Green Hornet" along the footsteps of Bruce Lee.  In 2011, everyone knew what the outcome of "The Green Hornet" was. Shen Zhenghui wondered if he could give Star Master a help and let him realize his dream. Anyway, he bought "The Green Hornet" through Colombia.  The copyright of "Xia Xia" is not a difficult matter.  "It's a little weird that "Kick-Ass" came into Shen Zhenghui's mind, but this movie can still be linked to an action movie.  What really makes this film well-received is that the violent little loli in it is so contrastingly cute.  It is not difficult to make a little loli act cute, but it is a new idea to make a "cute" little loli become violent enough.  Shen Zhenghui felt that the reason why he was reminded of this film was because he felt that Zhou Xingxing himself was chasing Bruce Lee's footsteps and dreams.  Speaking of which, it feels like chasing the hero of a superhero in this movie.  He couldn't help but have a lot of imagination.  I thought I could apply the stories of "The Green Hornet" and "Kick-Ass" at the same time and combine them into one story: The story should be like this. The idol of Xing, who works as a chef in Chinatown, is Bruce Lee, and he has been trying to imitate Bruce Lee.  , including dressing up as the Green Hornet and going to the streets at night to maintain order. That night, he dressed up as the Green Hornet and rescued a girl. As a result, this scene was seen by a bored rich second generation. The rich second generation who lived an empty life instantly  With his interest aroused, he roped in Ah Xing and made Ah Xing his assistant. The two of them drove a sports car and performed chivalrous acts everywhere every day.  As long as the second generation of rich people enjoy this feeling of participation, they willMost of the time, he stood aside and watched Ah Xing get things done, and then came out to show off his presence, take photos, pick up girls, gain fame, etc.  As time went by, Ah Xing became tired of this life of chivalry in name, but in reality, he was a servant of the rich second generation. The rich second generation was immersed in this kind of vanity. In fact, most of what Ah Xing did was  They all need the rich second generation's lawyer to end the matter. When A Xing was about to leave the rich second generation, the rich second generation's boring interests finally caused a big problem. They got into trouble with a drug lord. This time, the rich second generation's family  His background couldn't help either. He had to rely on Ah Xing and at the same time go into battle himself to fight against the lawless drug lord. Then the two finally understood the meaning and pressure of being superheroes - the greater the ability, the greater the power.  The greater the responsibility As for the final outcome, Shen Zhenghui felt that he could discuss it with Zhou Xingxing. Anyway, he felt that filming the endings would not be inconsistent with each other. Of course, if it was for the sake of commercial film, of course it would be a happy ending.  After the drug lord is killed, the two of them may continue to work together to fight crime, or they may each have other career directions, or they may have a beautiful woman, etc. These are all directions that can be considered. If it doesn't work, let them die.  It¡¯s not impossible.  But this feels like it doesn¡¯t match Zhou Xingxing¡¯s movie style.  Of course, you can leave enough space at the end.  In order to make a sequel, it seems like a good plan.  Shen Zhenghui now started to prepare the creation of the script outline. As far as the outline is concerned, it is very simple.  But if you want to turn the entire outline into a flesh-and-blood story and shoot it completely, this is a technical task.  ¡°Obviously, Shen Zhenghui and Zhou Xingxing are doing this kind of technical work. ?¡­ ?Shen Zhenghui got up from the bed, and in the dead of night, his thoughts were clear, and he was typing quickly on the computer.  His ideas gradually took shape in the sound of his hands typing on the keyboard, and were reflected in the lines of writing on the computer screen.  What he wrote was not just the synopsis of the movie, but also his many considerations for the movie. The roles of the movie - the dual protagonists, and the role of Ah Xing were set for Zhou Xingxing.  It was basically a setting made to attract him to film this movie. Therefore, it was necessary to obtain the copyright adaptation rights of The Green Hornet through Columbia; on the other hand, the choice of this rich second generation was very difficult.  It is necessary to choose an American actor, at least a white actor, so that there is hope of breaking into Hollywood, and Colombia will approve the script, among other things.  This script also involves a lot of details that need to be conceived, such as the style and method of fighting, the various equipment bought with money by the rich second generation, etc.  "Kick-Ass" does this very well.  No matter how powerful a superhero is, he also needs equipment. This is also the deviation between the concepts of the two protagonists. If you dig deeper, the training of kung fu on people's hearts lies in inner courage. Firearms are the external support. If you want to delve deeper into the whole story,  Aspects of theme deepening.  You can think about it in this direction.  But at this moment, Shen Zhenghui doesn't have to do this work by himself.  It is better to leave these tasks to Zhou Xingxing himself.  Shen Zhenghui typed for several pages and finally stopped.  Start to re-examine your thoughts.  Sometimes I play excitedly for a long time, and finally calm down and take a closer look, and find that it is all garbage. This kind of thing has happened before.  Just when Shen Zhenghui began to carefully examine what he had written, a voice came from behind him: "What is this?" Shen Zhenghui had the illusion that he was reading a novel in bed in the middle of the night and was caught by his mother. Looking back, Liu Xin was wearing  Standing behind Shen Zhenghui in pajamas, "I woke up in the middle of the night and found that you were not in bed, so I came over to take a look." She happily leaned next to Shen Zhenghui, "What is this? A new script? Directors always get up like this in the middle of the night.  Do you want to write a script? " "I don't do this kind of thing very often. I was probably stimulated tonight." Shen Zhenghui replied.  "Who stimulated you?" Liu Xin kissed Shen Zhenghui.  "Of course it's you!" Shen Zhenghui stood up and poured a glass of water for himself and Liu Xin each. "You are my muse. I owe all my inspiration to you." Liu Xin's smile showed that although she did not understand what Shen Zhenghui said.  She took it to heart, but she quite liked what Shen Zhenghui said, "Maybe if Tomoaki Aonuma is here, you will be more stimulated and inspired." "I'm afraid that I won't be able to get up in the middle of the night." Liu Xin rolled her eyes at him, "I  I don¡¯t believe it!¡± She sat down in Shen Zhenghui¡¯s seat and asked, ¡°Can I take a look?¡± ¡°Look, it¡¯s just an outline. There are a lot of things that I need to discuss with Zhou Xingxing.¡± ¡°Are you going to let Zhou Xingxing be the protagonist?¡±  "Liu Xin was a little surprised, "I support it. Let me see if it can be adapted into a cartoon." Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips and said, "This is a good idea.?.  ¡± ¡­ A simple synopsis of the script was quickly delivered to Zhou Xingxing. Even though he was about to return to Hong Kong, the script still aroused his great interest, especially when Shen Zhenghui said that he could buy "Green" through Colombia.  The copyright of "The Hornet" can be directly applied to the background and setting of "The Green Hornet", using the name Green Hornet. Zhou Xingxing soon met with Shen Zhenghui for the second time. This time, Zhou Xingxing began to talk about his life.  In a short period of time, he talked about a lot of his own ideas based on Shen Zhenghui's simple script outline. Many of the ideas surprised Shen Zhenghui. He himself accepted Shen Zhenghui's setting of his character, but  He wanted to express his own ideas more, which went beyond Shen Zhenghui's settings. Shen Zhenghui was very happy to accept Zhou Xingxing's opinion, but he soon discovered another problem. This person was really too thoughtful.  It's not like an actor giving advice to the director within the framework of the script, but rather overturning the entire framework and rearranging the entire structure according to his own ideas. According to Zhou Xingxing's own ideas, this film will definitely not be limited to Shen Zhenghui's outline.  The content will be expanded even wider. This makes Shen Zhenghui feel that even if he is a crazy star fan, it will probably be difficult to get along with Zhou Xingxing himself during the entire filming process.  Others' criticism was untenable, so how could he fulfill his duties as a director? Zhou Xingxing didn't seem to realize this. He was very happy to express his thoughts and looked at Shen Zhenghui expectantly. "Mr. Zhou.  , I really like your idea.  Shen Zhenghui thought for a while and said carefully, "But I feel that if I were to direct this film, it might be a restriction on your performance. I am really not confident that I can achieve the effect you want."  " Master Xing was a little surprised. Shen Zhenghui quickly raised his hand. "I'm not saying that I want to stop this project. Why don't we discuss a new way of cooperation. I will be the producer in name, and you will be responsible for the specific director affairs. I will send  A director from a company will be your assistant director. We will make a Hollywood movie based on your ideas. What do you think?  " "What about investment?  "Master Xing asked the most critical question directly. "Colombia previously said it was willing to invest up to 40 million US dollars.  We also agree that we can bring capital into the game. I think so, you and I can put together another 40 million US dollars.  The total investment is 80 million, so we will be more confident when negotiating profits with Colombia.  Zhou Xingxing himself was shocked by the investment amount. In 2001, among the Chinese-starred movies, only Jack Cheng's "Rush Hour 2" has reached a record investment of 90 million U.S. dollars. "Rush Hour 1" three  The investment amount of 13 million US dollars is enough to shock the fish in the shallow water circle of Hong Kong movies. When converted into Hong Kong dollars, the investment in this film reached 240 million Hong Kong dollars. Think about the investment amount of Hong Kong movies, 60 million Hong Kong dollars.  How many movie stars are there for the blockbuster? The investment amount is 80 million US dollars. When Zhou Xingxing feels stressed, he can't help but cheer up. "In terms of salary.  We can negotiate with Columbia according to the standard of Jackie Chan. I personally suggest that the remuneration can be less and the share ratio can be discussed more. You have to consider this yourself. Anyway, if we can negotiate to the standard of Jack Cheng, I think my side is  Acceptable.  " Zhou Xingxing is obviously a little confused. Jack Cheng's salary is not a secret. At the time of "Rush Hour 1", it was 5 million US dollars, equivalent to 40 million Hong Kong dollars. It is said that the salary for "Rush Hour 2" has increased to 1,500.  Ten thousand US dollars, as well as box office dividends, this is a record of 120 million Hong Kong dollars. Only Jet Lee can match him. This is their accumulation of many years of Hong Kong action movies. Although Zhou Xingxing and Jack Cheng.  They also claim to be a double-weekly actor, but he has always been considered a regional actor and it is difficult to break through cultural barriers. Now, taking advantage of the success of "Shaolin Soccer", it seems that he can break through this barrier and reach the height of Jack Cheng.  The opportunity appeared in front of him. Even with Zhou Xingxing's character, his mood seemed a little chaotic. "I want to think about it.  " "Okay," Shen Zhenghui nodded, "Mr. Zhou, I won't say anything big. I personally think this is an opportunity and a challenge. You and I are both Chinese and understand that we have to stand in foreign countries.  How difficult it is to keep a firm foothold. There are only a few outstanding representatives. If we can succeed this time, it will be a very good opportunity.  Even if it fails, it will only stay dormant for a few more years, and the fundamentals of the Asian region will still be there.  " Zhou Xingxing's face was serious. It took him a long time before he said, "We can't fail.  ¡± Shen Zhenghui knew that something was about to happen now. As soon as Zhou Xingxing left, Shen Zhenghui started all preparations for the crew. For example, he considered sending?There will be not one, but three American assistant directors - Miyamoto, Lu Yang and Yuan Xiangren.  The "Black Fist 2" project has been temporarily frozen because of the greater investment pressure of US$40 million.  Shen Zhenghui asked Horiguchi Natsumi to contact Columbia. He had already decided that if Zhou Xingxing himself was not available, he would also be involved. Anyway, he had an experienced assistant director, so he was not worried that the film would be a scumbag.  While Shen Zhenghui was busy at work, Mitsumi Fukuda called unexpectedly, "I heard that you are going to the United States to make a movie?" "It doesn't have to be me, it should be Zhou Xingxing. If he goes to be a director, I will  "Producer, maybe go to the United States." "My suggestion," Mitsumi Fukuda said firmly on the other end of the phone, "Don't go to the United States." "Why?" Shen Zhenghui was a little surprised.  ¡°For the sake of safety, if you are okay with having bodyguards in Japan and China, when you come to the United States, I don¡¯t know what you can do to ensure your own safety.¡± Mitsumi Fukuda seemed to be serious.  Shen Zhenghui let such nonsense words arouse his depression, "Am I that unlucky? Zhang Ziqiang was shot." "You haven't come to see me and my daughter for a long time, do you want to avoid us?  ?" Mitsumi Fukuda asked.  This changed topic aroused Shen Zhenghui's bitterness.  "Is Ling okay?" "It's okay, but she doesn't know how to call me daddy." "It's only been a few months, so she definitely won't call me daddy." Shen Zhenghui snorted, "Okay, I understand. According to Director Zhou Xingxing,  I won¡¯t go to the United States, I will be a nominal producer.¡± ¡°He will direct.¡± Mitsumi Fukuda replied.  (To be continued)
