America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 297 295. Dragon Ball starts, Xiao Liu's troubles

Eric has read the script of Dragon Ball and found that it was indeed in accordance with his requirements. It was not made up and turned into a melodramatic campus love drama.

The lines also paid tribute to the comics in many places. The screenwriter must have put in a lot of effort.

The plot ended with the defeat of Piccolo in the first part, which was considered to be the main plot of the first part and laid the groundwork for the Saiyan chapter in the second part.

Of course, it was not completely unedited. Goku's childhood scenes were greatly deleted, such as Ranchi's plot was completely deleted.

The first time he participated in the World No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament was also briefly mentioned, and the focus was still on portraying the adults.

After all, hundreds of episodes cannot be fully presented in two hours, even if it is expanded to three hours or three and a half hours like "The Lord of the Rings".

As long as the choice is appropriate, I believe most fans and viewers will agree.

He has already decided on several actors, including Samuel Jackson, Arnold Vosloo, Morita Noriyuki, etc.

As for the two most important female characters, Kiki appeared a little late, but she is a serious oriental face.

Including the clothing, it is very traditional oriental, a bit like Acorus in Ranma, so Liu Yifei can play.

It doesn't matter if the bun is a little small, if she is given more scenes and more fighting scenes, she will definitely gain a large number of fans and increase her popularity around the world.

Bulma appeared the earliest, and her face is more western, so you can find a European and American actress.

However, "Dragon Ball" is essentially a man's hot-blooded comic, and Bulma's role is actually not that much. Generally, as long as the battle plot begins, there is no role for her.

No need to think, you must use your own women.

Neeko and Charlize Theron are not suitable, their personalities and temperaments cannot show Bulma's liveliness. Gadot has "Transformers" and "The Hunger Games", so she doesn't need it.

Ashley and Mary are not good either. Their heights are really not enough. It is not a problem to stand with the soldiers.

Little Elizabeth is even more useless. She has not grown up yet and has a tender baby fat on her face.

However, with Eric's cultivation and nourishment, I believe she will grow up rapidly soon.

After picking and choosing, only Daddario is more suitable. She is very suitable for the role of a carefree personality. Her figure is also explosive, which is more in line with Bulma's personality. Her age is also relatively good.

As for Bulma's scientist temperament, it will not be revealed until the Saiyan chapter. Daddario needs to make up for it in this regard, but there is still a lot of time to adjust the props.

Recently, the little girl has served herself comfortably, but the script of "Fallout" has not been written yet, and she has not found a new job yet, so it is better to give her a big one.

When the harem is completely stable, find an opportunity to bring her to the villa.

By the way, there is also Xiao Liu. Take this opportunity to let the two get familiar with each other, so that sleeping in the same bed in the future will reduce embarrassment.

As for the most critical role, Goku, Eric couldn't find a suitable candidate in his mind. He thought of using Lin Ludi, but that face was a bit childish and feminine, which was not suitable for Goku.

Goku was handsome and simple in the early stage. Using actors like Tony Leung and Jude Law, who have a story-telling face, gave people a feeling of mismatch.

After transforming into a golden super racer, Goku's temperament turned into deep and handsome, especially when the battle reached the climax, he often showed a hint of divinity, which was difficult for ordinary actors to control.

After thinking about it, he still couldn't think of a suitable candidate. Eric clapped his hands and startled Carol in with a bang.

She came in hurriedly: "Boss, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

"No, let's make an announcement to the public, openly audition for important roles in "Dragon Ball", including the male protagonist Sun Wukong, and need two actors, one big and one small, to play different periods."

"Contact Akira Toriyama in Japan and send him the revised script for review."

"Huh? Do I need to ask for his opinion on the script?"

Eric could understand her thoughts with his ass.

"Carol, don't look at people with arrogance. Hollywood always likes to be superior. It's wrong. It should be said that the film and television industry all over the world looks down on the novel and comics industry, so they change other people's works at random."

"Those works that can be changed have proved to be good enough. You can modify the details to be more suitable for the big screen, but don't change the framework at will and make the story unrecognizable."

"And Akira Toriyama is a comic master, a world-class comic master. I respect him very much."

Carol nodded humbly and offered the emotional value of obedience: "Okay boss, you I will always remember what you said. "

"In addition, the team will be formally formed. I want to start the project within two months."

"Okay, then who will be the director?"

"Me!"

"You?"

"What's wrong? Not suitable?"

"No, I think the fans will be happy, but don't you plan to shoot those sequels? For example, the second season of "House of Cards."

"I will be the producer and screenwriter, and control the general direction. James Frey will take over. He is a very experienced and veteran director."

When the news of the audition of "Dragon Ball" was announced, it undoubtedly caused a stir in the industry.

The male actors were all boiling, especially the young actors, who were burning with passion.

It is now 2004, exactly 20 years after Dragon Ball was first aired on TV in 1984. This super invincible hot-blooded comic has already become popular all over the world.

No matter from which perspective, "Dragon Ball" is well-deserved to be the world's number one in terms of peripheral quantity, copyright granting, game development, major movies, etc.

Although the sales of comics were later surpassed by "One Piece", in terms of global influence, "One Piece" is still quite far away from "Dragon Ball".

Because Japan accounts for about 70% of the manga sales of "One Piece", while Japan only accounts for more than 20% of the manga sales of "Dragon Ball", accounting for nearly 80% of the world.

This can be seen from the constant tributes to "Dragon Ball" from all over the world. Other animations do not have this dominance.

Even the image ambassador of the Tokyo Olympics, after final voting, it was Gokong who stood out from many popular players such as Naruto, Sailor Moon, Doraemon, Luffy, etc. The reason is that Sun Wukong's fame is more global.

As long as you have watched "Dragon Ball", whoever was young and didn't have a second grade in the middle of the year shouted "Turtle Style Qigong" and "Kame Kameha!"

You also need to do a horse stance and make the posture of rubbing Qigong waves to be perfect.

This role is like a dream come true for the actor, and the director's column clearly says Eric Cooper.

What concept?

Is "Transformers" good to watch? handsome or not? A dick or not? Is the box office high?

"Adele's Life" won the Golden Globe Award and allowed the Olsen sisters to successfully transform. It has won numerous awards at home and abroad, and is a model of artistic films.

"House of Cards" plays political thriller and black humor, and its reputation has exploded.

Even the screenwriters of "Get Out" and "Frozen" still raked in box office and won awards.

There is no doubt that this is an awesome director who can control any style. He has an extremely keen sense of the market and is also very good at training and exploring actors. The scripts and variety shows he participated in the production are even more popular.

His personal involvement already represents the attitude of MGM, which must be an A-level large-scale production and large investment.

If you seize the opportunity, then go to heaven!

Ever since, Eric began to receive all kinds of phone calls, text messages, and invitations, and all his father's worries were brought to his side.

Brad Pitt: "Eric, I noticed that MGM is going to make "Dragon Ball" and I was wondering if there is a role suitable for me?"

"Pete, you don't want to play Sun Wukong, do you?"

"Haha. I can tell from your tone that it's not appropriate. I'm not going to play the leading role. I can actually make a guest appearance."

"That's no problem, a martial artist, but you might have to be prepared to be killed."

"No problem, let me know when filming starts, thanks!"

Leonardo DiCaprio: "Eric, I'm only 30 years old. In fact, if I wear makeup, I should be able to play the adult Goku."

"Brother, are you serious?"

"Uh hahaha, just kidding."

"Leon, the role of Goku is not suitable for you, but I think the role of Trunks, the great warrior of future time and space, is very suitable for you."

"And the character has a very profound connotation. The depth of portrayal is rare in "Dragon Ball", and it can show your acting skills."

"Trunks? Doesn't that appear only in the Cell chapter?"

"Yes, so I hope you can keep your figure. The best part of the Shahru chapter is the future world. You can make a movie independently, and you will be the starring role."

"And you don't have to wait too long. It will definitely take three years at most."

"Okay, then I'm waiting for your good news. Come to my house when you have time. There will be a big party this Friday night."

Tobey Maguire: "Director, do you think I am suitable for Monkey King?"

"Toby, you're a little too skinny."

"I can work out and build muscle. I work hard."

"But the project will start in two months at most, and I can't give you much time."

"Well, give me a cameo role. It doesn't matter if I don't have any lines."

"no problem."

Chris Evans: "Boss, my muscles are back in shape again. Let me play Sun Wukong."

"You haven't finished filming "Captain America" ​​and "Transformers" yet. Get out of here. Actors must be dedicated to their jobs and don't be half-hearted."

Robert Downey Jr.: "Director, put some makeup on me so I can play Kame Sennin."

"You're thinking shit!"

Jake Gyllenhaal: "I can play a different Goku."

Dwayne Johnson: "Look at my bald head, let me play Kline, director. What? Napa!"

Family Man: "Mr. Cooper, is there anyone for the role of Tianjin Rice?"

Ryan Reynolds even posted a video directly. He set up the camera in the living room and then took a few steps back.

"Next, you will see the most explosive transformation scene in history, be careful not to blink."

After saying that, he started to clenched his fists and roared wildly. The continuous roar seemed like he was dying, and his eyes turned white, as if he was really about to become a Super Sailor.

Suddenly, there was a scoffing sound, and the clothes on the upper body of Xiao Jianqian were torn apart by invisible hands on both sides, revealing a body of fake muscles underneath.

He pretended to be out of breath and said: "Now, standing in front of you is the legendary Super Saiyan, get down quickly!"

This overly explosive and abstract performance left Eric speechless for a while, and then he uploaded it to YouTube.

Let the audience judge whether you can play Goku or not.

At Los Angeles International Airport, Eric drove his newly bought Hummer and stopped at the exit.

When you are famous, you are prone to gossip. In order to prevent paparazzi from secretly photographing him, he has to change cars every once in a while.

Soon, Liu Yifei came out wearing big sunglasses. She was not famous enough in the United States, so there were no paparazzi following her.

Bang!

The door was closed and the car started.

"Where is your mother?"

"Mom and the assistant are going together. They will go back to the hotel to adjust to the jet lag and rest."

"She doesn't care about you this time? Doesn't she object to you getting in my car?"

"Hehe. I told her, but Mom didn't say anything. Maybe this is tacit consent."

Liu Yifei asked in a strange tone: "Eric, since Mom came to our hotel that time, she seems to have changed. What do you say?"

"Become more reasonable?"

"Yes, she has become a lot easier to talk to. What did you talk about that day? My mother was actually convinced by you!"

Eric laughed and thought to himself that it was indeed a sleeping suit. When you didn't know, I couldn't remember how many times I slept with her.

Every time she sleeps, she has to be spanked hard. After too many times, she feels uncomfortable if she is not spanked. I will handcuff and shackle her next time.

"I am very good at speaking, and your mother just cares about you too much, not bad."

"Well, I know. I immigrated to the United States with her when I was very young. In fact, it was not easy for her."

Liu Yifei seemed to recall her childhood experience and suddenly fell silent.

"Eric, I want to ask you for something. I wonder if you are willing to help?"

"Go ahead, your business is my business."

Seeing his decisive attitude, Liu Yifei immediately leaned over excitedly, and the two started a tongue duel.

Hmm.

After kissing for a long time, the temperature in the car rose by several degrees, and Xiao Liu finally let go.

She panted and said, "Actually, I came back to China to shoot "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". The work was finished last month, but some things delayed me and I haven't come back yet."

"What's the matter?"

"One is Zhang Jizhong, the director of "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". He invited me to shoot another martial arts TV series "The Return of the Condor Heroes", and I was treated as the heroine."

"Well, I have some impression. Martial arts is a unique romance of the Chinese people. It is very beautiful and great!"

"The other one is Chen Jinfei. Do you know him?"

Eric's expression became serious: "I heard your mother talk about it, but she just mentioned it briefly. I don't know the specific inside story. What's the matter?"

Liu Yifei hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.

"In fact, Chen Jinfei is my godfather. You can roughly understand godfather as godfather. I was able to get good resources as soon as I returned to China. He was the one behind the scenes."

"Including Zhang Jizhong, he also joined the entertainment company he founded. The company actually has only one artist, that is me."

"But since last year, after I met you, I came to Hollywood to develop, and our relationship has become more and more distant."

"Now he wants me to take on "The Return of the Condor Heroes", what do you think I should do?"
