Chapter 149 Officially launched

9days ago Urban Novels 8
After the release of "The Tomb Raiders 2" last year, Stephen Somos, directed and produced, said that he would not make another sequel. Although the Global side repeatedly tried to keep it, his attitude was very firm, so he did not mention the sequel.

Universal is much better now than Universal in Adrian's previous life. Universal in his previous life is only slightly better than MGM's unlucky. Apart from "The Tomb Raiders" and "The Spy Shadows", there are basically no outstanding movies. The characters he won from Marvel are also the Hulk's cheating guy, so Mina had to restart these two series, of course, the result was not very good.

Now, with the support of AC Media, especially Adrian, and his quick action, the most profitable series after the millennium, such as the Harry Potter series, and the Marvel superheroes, have been written in their hands, so high-box movies have been launched one after another. Now Universal is lying at the top of several major film companies, so they are not very eager for the sequel to "The Legend of the Tomb".

However, they did not give up on developing the peripherals of this series, and no film company would give up. So "The Scorpion King" was born in this situation. Although Dwayne Johnson did not have many scenes in "The Expendables", he had initially shown his strengths. Then the Scorpion King's appearance in "The Tomb Raiders 2" was also very interesting, so Universal had the idea of ​​tailoring a movie of the nature of a legend for him.

The screenwriters designed a mysterious female wizard in the script. Although they did not specify where she came from, they still vaguely revealed that they came from the East, so they needed an Asian or Asian actress.

It was in this situation that Lin Xilei won this role for Lin Chiling while running around.

It was not until the role was finalized that Adrian realized that neither Lin Xilei nor Lin Chiling had mentioned it before. There was no doubt that they wanted to surprise him and increase their presence by the way.

Although Lin Xilei was able to get this role for Lin Chiling, Adrian, who stood behind her, still played some role, but most of it was based on her own abilities. It’s no wonder Adrian sighed that she was so rude to be an agent.

I will call Xilei over after I go back later. I will reward you well tonight.

Adrian took advantage of the darkness at the beginning of the movie and blew in her ears while kneading Lin Chi-ling's soft body.

Although Lin Chi-ling is not as good as Kate and others in his favorites, she is obedient and good at catering. Especially with Lin Chi-lei planning next to her, Adrian is very satisfied with Shuanglin, so she has prepared many good characters for her, such as the Yuriko in "X-Men 2".

However, it seems that this character can be handed over to Yuki Hui. Although the positioning of Yuki Hui is completely different from that of Lin Chiling, it is also good to try action characters occasionally. Yuki Hui also needs to have commercial blockbusters. Besides, she has had experience in action scenes in "Rush Hour 2" before.

In this regard, Jack Chen is very good at pleasing people. Yuki Hui doesn't have many action scenes in "Rush Hour 2", but every time there is something that makes people shine, but at the same time it doesn't affect Jack Chen himself.

Lin Chi-ling is the same in "Western Regional Veyron". She also has several action scenes at the end of this movie, and Yuki Hui is like the first chapter in "Rush Hour 2".

To be honest, Adrian thought about working with Jack Chen at first to try it out, but unfortunately his humorous fighting style was too strong and had become his label. In addition, as time went by, Adrian had a new plan, and basically there would be no action movies for a long time, so he had to forget it.

It doesn't matter, at worst, you can squeeze him out without being so anxious.He thought so at the end in his heart.

Not to mention the conspiracy with Shuanglin that night, nor to mention the outstanding box office of "Western Regions Weilong" in the first week, although the battle for the summer vacation is about to begin, most media were attracted by a news released by Universal in early June.

After negotiations with Hasbro, Universal will invest 1.5 billion to produce a live-action movie version of "Transformers" and invite James Cameron to be the producer and director!

For many people born in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Transformers means self-evident. Hasbro launched this toy and animations all the time, and is one of the best childhood memories of many people who have started working now, with such a considerable popularity all over the world.

Even if you think about it with your knees, you will know that as long as the plot of the film is slightly reasonable and the special effects are extremely realistic, Universal will not worry about not being able to recover the cost, and Hasbro will benefit a lot.

What's more, it's directed by Cameron. Everyone knows this crazy man's obsession with huge machinery and his style of burning money. So in recent years, rumors have been rumored that people dare not invite him to make movies because of the huge expenses of "Titanic".

Although well-informed media knew that this was not in line with the facts, many film companies had consulted Cameron for cooperation after the ship, but he declined them all. However, since readers like to read it, they were happy to attract attention with exaggerated reports. In addition, various tabloids who were too lazy to collect facts were interspersed with them. Due to rumors, many people thought that it would be difficult for Cameron to make a super big production like "Titanic" in the future.

Therefore, many diehard movie fans have expressed their dissatisfaction and support for Cameron through various channels, and some have even launched an action to save the king of the world, which makes people feel ridiculous.

However, it is precisely because of this that when the news that he was about to direct the live-action version of "Transformers" was confirmed, it caused a strong response among the fans, and the media also pursued him relentlessly at the press conference.

Well, frankly speaking, when Adrian first talked to me about this, I didn't take it seriously. I thought there was something good to adapt the toy of a child, but he kept entangled, put forward a lot of conditions, and said a lot of ideas. I gradually became interested in him, so he finally appeared here.But I really want to accuse me. After I signed the contract, this guy pushed everything to me, and I had to fulfill all the promises I had made by myself. It was so irresponsible.

Cameron was quite funny at the press conference.

As a result, ordinary people's expectations for the live-action version of "Transformers" were instantly ignited, and major film companies lamented again that even without Cameron's words, they knew that all this was planned by Adrian. Thinking about the situation when AC Media acquired Hasbro, they were obviously already preparing at that time.

Just count on the calculations, how much valuable things have they mastered from the Lord of the Rings series, the Matrix series, the Harry Potter series, and the Marvel superheroes?!

And always take action before everyone can react!

Look, if the live-action movie of Transformers is a success, there will be no choice but to play Hasbro's idea of ​​copyrighting other toy movies. At that time, we have to be timid about AC Media, just like the superhero who shares surprise, that guy always seems to see something very far away.

However, although other film companies are envious, jealous and hateful, they do not know that the film is still early. Global just wants to hype the atmosphere first. When it is released in two or even three years, a series of marketing methods will surely make the movie have remarkable box office results.

That's right, Adrian gave the crew two years to produce it at the beginning. You should know that there are dozens of important roles in Transformers. Just deciding which roles to play and how to style them in the movie requires a long time to discuss. What's more, there is not even a script so far, only an outline that is not considered an outline.

Simply put, this is the story of a boy and his car.

In Cameron's own office, the still bearded and unkempt guy put his feet on the table, held his hands behind his head and shrugged, and then added: The story of the car he could talk to.

So to say.Adrian smiled and spread his hands out.

It sounds very similar to "Knight", so why don't we just take their script and modify it.Cameron said half-jokingly.

It's totally OK.

Adrian nodded happily. Anyway, you are responsible. Speaking of which, "Kailway" is also the childhood memory of those people who grew up in the 1970s and 1980s. Maybe I can make someone make a TV series like "New Kailway" or "Kailway 2002".

OK OK OK.Cameron immediately raised his hand, and I knew that it was impossible to count on you, and he had to do everything by himself.

I just want to show my respect for you, as you said at the press conference, I pushed everything to you, of course, do what I say.Adrian laughed.

Is that true? What if you might as well remove the restrictions on character design?Cameron sat upright and hummed.

That won't work.Adrian waved his hand immediately. Actually, you agree with me, right?

Yes, but I think you came up with this idea out of worrying that I was spending money randomly.Cameron said very seriously.

Adrian couldn't help laughing. His proposal was simple, that is, when making the Transformers character, the robot must be made very heavy and powerful, rather than the light and fluttering feeling of the original version.

The original Transformers are indeed gorgeous and metallic, and even used thousands of parts in CG. However, although this is very good, it also gives people a feeling that it is not real enough.

In short, the more gorgeous the thing is, the more fragile it is already a fixed mindset. Even if the screenwriter tells the audience through the mouth of the character that their bodies are made of a special alloy, which is light and indestructible, when the camera changes, and when various passionate plots appear, who cares about those?

Then, the audience will feel a little awkward in their subconscious mind. Even if they recall it after watching it, they will still be affected when watching the movie, so Adrian will ignore anything else and emphasize making the robot thicker.

Come on, I have left you with free space, and I never thought 1.5 billion could be used to send you.Adrian laughed out loud.

Ha, can I take this as a compliment?Cameron raised his hands with a smile.

Of course you really don’t plan to sign two more movies, just treat it for me?Adrian suddenly said again.

Hey Ed, I said from the beginning that I only directed one.

Cameron answered very seriously, you know what I want more, the new camera I commissioned to study on Sony, 3D, has made good progress. Maybe it can be put into practical use in another year or two years, and I can't wait to use it.

Yes, I know, I just... Adrian made a gesture and sighed, I have to find you a successor...

Don't worry, maybe someone can do better than me.Cameron comforted him.

Maybe... Adrian stood up, OK, that's it, everything is left to you.

No problem... By the way, you promised to invest... Cameron, who stood up, suddenly said this.

You guy!Adrian made a fist and wanted to hit him. I promised you, but I never fulfilled it!

Don't be excited, I just want to remind you.Cameron laughed and made a dodge move.

I think I still have this reputation.Adrian sneered in a pretentious manner while tidying up his collar, so, I warn you, James, don't smash your sign.

Don't worry, I will do my best.Cameron closed his smile and slapped him hard.

It's really a pity.

Until he left the building and got on the bus, Adrian was still very sorry.

If he could, he really hoped that Cameron could direct the live-action trilogy of "Transformers", but Cameron would only sign one contract no matter what. Although he verbally agreed to say it, it was actually because of another thing.

Yes, it was the super blockbuster seven or eight years later. In 1999, Cameron began to conceive, and then made a lot of preparations, and turned his attention to 3D movies. His eyes were very forward-looking.

And long before that, Adrian had agreed to support his ideas and invest, and it was precisely because of this that he readily agreed to take on the job of directing "Transformers".

It doesn't matter, it's just like that, you can't force it.

Adrian was very open-minded.

Of course, this is under the premise that Cameron gave him a carefully produced "Transformers". It is precisely for this reason that he not only requires the robot to be full of heavy feeling when making it, but also gives things that are barely outlined, such as the idea of ​​a boy chasing a girl with his car, or sending a robot to the scene to eliminate a US military base.

As for the others, I left it to Cameron to edit. Will there be some original versions? The robot appeared a little later and finally fought in the city. The beginning of the game was dizzy but not using heavy weapons, so I was too lazy to care about it. Anyway, it would be great to be able to prepare before the filming before the end of this year.

Think about the girl of the fox. She worked very hard. The crew of "Big Lies" gave her a good review. I wonder if she is ready...all aspects of preparation.

Compared to the sensation caused by the live-action film "Transformers" preparation, another movie that also started preparing at this time is relatively low-key.

All is left to you, Peter, don't let me down.After the meeting, Adrian said as he patted Peter Jackson on the shoulder.

No problem, I will do my best to do it well!Jackson, whose eyes were shiny, said in an excited tone.

Yes, "King Kong", this movie that has been remade many times is now about to be remade again. Since Adrian promised Peter Jackson, he would not fail to fulfill it.

Moreover, although he did not spend $200 million in his previous life this time, he was only 50 million less, which was the same as Cameron's "Transformers" budget.

Of course, if Cameron thinks 1.5 billion is not enough, it is definitely not difficult to invest additionally, but Jackson only has this 1.5 billion.

Even so, this fat man from New Zealand is OK. He is no longer a fat man. He is still very excited to lose weight well and is ready to do a big fight.

In this time and space, although he participated in the production of "Lord of the Rings", he had never directed a movie that had invested hundreds of millions of yuan. Moreover, Adrian made the decision to let the world delegate power to him, and he inevitably felt like he met a confidant.

These factors, coupled with Adrian's subtle influence on him, and promised that if King Kong was a hit, he would support him in directing "The Adventures of the Hobbit" or "Silver Silky", so the problems of excessive length, lack of pace, and excessive use of slow motion in his previous life should be curbed.

Is this why you want me to play the heroine?After Adrian spoke to Jackson, he immediately met Naomi's eyes.

The slightly petite girl pursed her lips and tried her best to look at Adrian with a calm gaze, but the surging emotions behind her eyes were not completely covered up.

The people in the conference room had almost gone, and the rest of the moment also slipped out with Jackson and gave the place to them.

Is there any problem?Adrian smiled gently.

No, just... Naomi made a gesture, then turned her head to one side, biting her lip and seemed to shed tears at any time.

sorry.

Adrian was about to rush into his arms, I don't know... well... I don't know this will make you sad... If you feel that this offends you, I apologize to you and ask them to modify the script...

No!

Naomi snorted, and she finally calmed down and looked up at Adrian again. The blue and green eyes were shining with bright light. This is very good, Ed, this is very good, so it can remind me that when gray is spread all over my life, the only color is there, I want to hold it tightly and never throw it away.

As she said, she wrapped herself around Adrian's neck, tiptoed and kissed him gently on his lips.
