Since 1983

Chapter 678 Find an ally

Xu Fei had already bought a car, and it was also a second-hand Chevrolet, which was unremarkable.

It was night, and the broken car was parked at the gate of the villa. The light was on in the living room, and he curled up on the sofa, flipping through an outline that Miss Achu had polished.

Xiao Mo is vomiting, he has been vomiting since the afternoon.

And has a shadow on the apple pie.

The outline is very detailed, plus some detailed dialogue and scene description, it is a complete script. At the beginning, an extraordinary setting is given:

"In 2020, the earth is overpopulated, resources are scarce, infectious diseases are prevalent, and there are all kinds of problems. Only the United States is like a paradise, with an unemployment rate of only 1% and the lowest crime rate in history.

This is related to a plan implemented by the government: there is such a day every year, for up to 12 hours after 7 pm, people can fight and kill without legal responsibility.

So on this day, a large number of people took to the streets, burning, killing, looting and committing crimes recklessly, forming a series of beautiful landscapes..."

It's called "Human Clearance Project"!

The original version is in 2022, Mr. Xu has slightly changed it, hey, there is absolutely no black lighthouse.

The protagonist is a security system salesman who has made a fortune in this deformed society and has a happy family.

It's the night of the big mopping up again, the protagonist watches the night of killing in the impenetrable house, but his brat dies, opens the door to save a homeless man, and attracts a gang of gangsters.

With this kind of background, there must be a big scene at first glance, but in order to save costs, the story can only be compressed in a small space.

"what do you think?"

"The theme is novel, and the plot is mentally retarded." A Chu said.

"Haha, that's right! What this film sells is the setting, don't talk about human nature or futuristic sense, the plot is just a piece of shit."

"Of course I understand, the university I study here. But you have already invested 8 million, do you still have funds to invest?" Ah Chu doubted.

"We didn't shoot it ourselves, I want to use it to draw an ally."

He shook the notebook and said, "One new seedling is too fragile and too conspicuous, two are much better."

…………

In 1997, the North American mining industry collapsed.

Canadian coal boss Frank Gusta decided to transform and founded Lionsgate Films in the name of the Vancouver landmark "Lionsgate Bridge".

This person is not simple. He has an inseparable friendship with Clinton and raised campaign funds for him. Clinton reciprocated and helped him solve many troubles.

After Lionsgate was established, Gusta spent another $100 million to acquire a distribution company. In addition to distribution channels, the company also owns film libraries such as "Bad Lieutenant" and "Golden Pond".

Headquartered in Canada, office in Hollywood.

At first, he was not favored by others, and had no films to shoot, so he made a living by making shooting equipment. Since then, he has participated in "Buffalo 66", "Suffering", "Gods and Beasts", etc., and each of them lost money. It wasn't until "American Psycho" in 2000 that it made a small profit.

Gusta doesn't expect well-known creators to come to Lionsgate, but only wants to absorb talents that are sufficiently different and unknown. Like Mike Moore.

This dude made Fahrenheit 9/11.

Later, Lionsgate launched the "Chain Saw" series, "The Hunger Games" series, acquired Summit Entertainment, and took "Twilight" and "The Hurt Locker" as its own... By 2018 and 19, the performance had exceeded Paramount, become a party boss.

There are plenty of Hollywood companies that have had their moment, but were eventually bought by the Big Seven.

Because the risk-taking ability is too weak, if a film fails, it may fall into financial crisis.

For example, if a blockbuster film loses at the box office, a major producer can try to minimize the loss through six layers of skinning and overseas channels. And these companies lack channels, and some can only rely on theaters for income.

After all, Hollywood is the Hollywood of big factories. They either choose to cooperate or be swallowed by them when they get into trouble.

Only Lionsgate survived, because it also became a big factory.

...

On this day, Lionsgate, which has just started its business operations, welcomed a guest after months of no filming.

Fat Jerry.

He didn't know the future of this company, he just thought that he was still at ease when facing Gusta like a cactus.

"I've heard a little bit about the cactus. I'm really sorry. You are an excellent company. I heard that you have found a new investor?"

"Yes, an overseas capital. We are shooting a low-budget youth film."

"That's great, I wish you success."

As Gusta was talking, he suddenly stared at the left side of his body, as if there was something.

When Jerry was puzzled, this buddy rushed over, grabbed his shoulder and shouted: "Dude, there is a ghost next to you!"

"what?"

The fat man was frightened, but the other party laughed, "Just kidding, don't mind."

"..."

The fat man is speechless, no one is stupid to be in Hollywood, this should be the other party's way of communication, unique and impressive.

Gusta made a joke, and got to the point: "I read the story you brought, and it's an amazing idea! Do you want to put it on the screen?"

"Of course, but we don't have enough funds and want to find some co-investors."

"Ha, what a simple matter! I can answer you now, and Lionsgate is willing to cooperate."

"..."

The fat man was stunned again, "Don't you need to study it?"

"No no, you know, there are a lot of opportunities in the world that are missed. I believe in my own vision, this will be a successful movie."

Okay, Jerry understands the reason why he can only hang out at the bottom. The spirit of the leader is indeed different.

Of course, what he didn't know was that Gusta held a meeting immediately after he left.

"Great idea, the story is a little thinner, but who cares?"

"Yes, this setting alone can bring a large number of audiences into the theater."

"And it is cleverly written, using news events instead of big scenes, and concentrating the story in a small environment, which can be done with a few million dollars."

"Compared to something like "Buffalo 66," it has too much commercial potential."

"Yes."

"Yes."

…………

Studio, bedroom interior.

Brittany Murphy lying in bed with indecent legs. A spirited young man was very dissatisfied with her attitude, so he launched a verbal attack.

From time to time, I pulled out a booklet to study on the spot, and continued to fight with each other.

Feeling insulted, Brittany yelled and cursed in pain, clutching the bed sheet tightly, her veins burst out, and she trembled with anger.

"..."

Xiao Mo watched with relish.

Under the influence of Mr. Xu, this guy has already degenerated, and gradually develops in the direction of an old driver.

"Crack!"

"GOOD!"

The director called to stop, and Brittany straightened her skirt and got up without any shyness, showing a super sweet smile. The staff was in a good mood and sure enough it was full of pink bubbles.

Teacher Xu is also interested in it, the person he chose is much more beautiful than the original version.

After the filming of this scene, it was getting late, and he was about to go back to the villa when an employee suddenly ran over: "Boss, someone is looking for you."

"Find me?"

When he looked over there, it was Zhang Dongfang's face, and at first glance he was Chinese.

Xiong Xiaoge.
