0232【Assassin League Assembly】

In the previous track, Timo Bekmambetov became famous all over the world in 2004 with "The Night Watchman". Most Wanted", also known as "League of Assassins".

The cost of "Wanted" is only 7500 million US dollars, and most of it is given to the heroine, Angelina Jolie, who became famous for "Tomb Raider".For Hollywood, this is a low-budget movie.

In the first week of its release, it collided with "Wall-E" with a box office of more than 5 million. In the second week, it encountered the blockbuster "Hancock", which had a box office of more than 6 million. In the third week, it encountered the blockbuster "Hellboy 2" : Golden Corps", and in the fourth week, it encountered the number one box office champion of the year, "Batman: The Dark Knight".

The tragedy cannot be overstated.

In this way, "Wanted" still relied on the gorgeous action scenes, raking in 1.34 million US dollars in North America, and 3.41 million US dollars worldwide, becoming the number one dark horse in 2008.

It is now the beginning of 2004, and Timo Bekmanbetov is still working for Dandelion to produce "The Sun Watcher". Therefore, "Wanted" was unceremoniously accepted by Wan Xiaohu.

This is a film adapted from the manga of the same name.

As early as last year, Wan Xiaohu bought the copyright of the adaptation from the comic publisher Top-Cow-Producons and the original author Mark Miller.Substantial revisions have been made, except for some major parts, almost the entire plot has been revised.

The scenes of this movie are gorgeous, especially the bomb that is said to be able to turn, which makes people excited, but the plot is really a bit inexplicable.Especially in the first paragraph, the protagonist is getting angry everywhere.It's maddening to be so useless, and although it was finally released to the extreme, it still makes people feel that the previous depression was too much.

And the scene where the fathers recognize each other and kill each other at the end is as bloody as it needs to be.

Therefore, while Wan Xiaohu changed the background of the story to the East.The plot has also been modified, the first half is properly suppressed and properly released, and the second half is the real "gaochao".The special effects played at the same time are cool, but they are too simple, turning and colliding, and there are only these two tricks.The more you look at the more numb it becomes.

Wan Xiaohu also integrated the more exciting fighting scenes from later movies, striving to create a wonderful action scene that is not inferior to any action blockbuster!

The heroine of the film, Wan Xiaohu, has already been selected as Jessica Alba, avoiding big names, and it is a Chinese film.Therefore, the cost of 6000 million US dollars, basically more than half will be spent on the production of special effects, and it will no longer be like the original version, in order to save money, dare not spend effort.

And this is only a tentative figure, without big-name stars, you have to work hard on the scene.

woo woo woo woo……

The plane landed in Los Angeles.

James Derek, the general manager of Tiger Rhea, 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 Ruiya Tiger. In this way, all the companies under Dandelion will be spun off. In the future, it will develop towards four groups. I will set a framework for you. In China, we will strive to develop into Dandelion Media Group and Mtime.com Technology groups, in the United States, are working hard to develop Sasha Film Group and YouTube Internet Group.”

"Don't worry. Tger, you will find that it is very wise to choose me as a professional manager."

"That's good." Wan Xiaohu was indeed very satisfied, and turned to Andrew Brown and said, "Andrew. Sasha Entertainment has two plans for the next step. One is to prepare for the filming of "Saw 2", from the script to the director. As for the actors, I will stop asking, and try to make this series work. The second plan is to prepare my latest work, "Wanted"!"

After a pause, to give Andrew a time to think, Wan Xiaohu continued: "I have created the storyboard script, now I need you to help me find a group of professional film workers from Hollywood, and help me handle the procedures for co-production. Jointly invested by Sasha Entertainment and Dandelion Films."

Going through the formalities of co-productions is naturally for the purpose of obtaining the right to distribute the film in North America, rather than 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 6000 million US dollars. If there is no split in North America, it will really not make much money.

The United States has relatively loose qualifications for co-productions. As long as Hollywood companies participate, basically they can be counted as co-productions.On the Chinese side, it is stricter. However, compared with the future, the current co-productions are still extremely simple. As long as the Chinese companies invest some money, they can be counted as co-productions.

After explaining all kinds of matters and arranging people to form the crew, Wan Xiaohu slipped away by himself.

……

I haven't seen Jessica Alba for several months. When I saw her again, Jessica was still so beautiful and charming, like a little sweetheart.

"Jessica, my baby!"

"Tger..."

As soon as they met, Wan Xiaohu gave Jessica a deep French kiss.

"Congratulations, Tger, I saw the report that "The Wind" has achieved a very good box office in China. Many Hollywood media are paying attention to you. They call you the box office king of Asia."

"Really?" Wan Xiaohu put his arms around Jessica's waist and raised his eyebrows.

"of course."

"Wow, that's really exciting and good news. Jessica, are you ready? The "Wanted" project has already started. When the crew here is ready, we will go to China to shoot. Did you say goodbye to your parents?"

"I've already told my parents that I can't wait to see your hometown and see what the country is like."

"You'll love going to the country."

Although it is not yet time for further intimacy, it is still possible to pass the mouth and hand addictions, so Wan Xiaohu spent a week with Jessica in the colorful world of Los Angeles.Then I spent a Lantern Festival in Chinatown in the United States, and returned to Hong Kong with a group of Hollywood elites.

From Hong Kong, another group of elites were summoned to form the entire crew.

at the same time.The co-production qualification certificates of Fang and the United States have also been obtained, and they can enter the shooting state.

Let the crew start looking for suitable scenes all over the world according to the script, Wan Xiaohu began to choose actors, and news about the movie.Also officially released.

"Wan Xiaohu's seventh film is selected, the largest investment in the history of Chinese-language films, 6000 million US dollars to create "Wanted"!" - "Beijing Youth Daily" fired the first shot.

"With the end of "The Wind", Wan Xiaohu, the fast-shooting shooter, started working again, spending tens of millions of dollars. Creating the most luxurious Chinese-language blockbuster in history!"

"Should I enter Hollywood, or stay in the Chinese-speaking circle? Wan Xiaohu gave the answer, stepping on two boats! The blockbuster "Wanted Warrant" co-produced by the United States will be produced by the domestic private film giant Dandelion Films, and the United States has released "Chain Saw". Sasha Entertainment, joint investment. And invited the youngest and most outstanding Chinese commercial director Wan Xiaohu to direct. It is also reported that Sasha Entertainment also has shares in Wan Xiaohu.”

"A Chinese film worth tens of millions of dollars? You heard that right. Dandelion announced on its official website today that the seventh movie "Wanted" directed by Wan Xiaohu has officially approved. The heroine will be a Hollywood actress who starred in "Movies." Jessica Alba from Saw."

"What kind of movie is "Wanted"? At present, we only know the name of one movie and who is the director. But this is enough, as long as it is a movie directed by Wan Xiaohu, you are worth watching!"

These are all positive media, and many media have expressed doubts.

"Southern Metropolis Entertainment Weekly": "From a 6000 million yuan movie to a 6000 million U.S. dollar movie, the cost has soared more than eight times. Can Wan Xiaohu manage it? Li An and Wu Yusen have already fallen in Hollywood big productions one after another. , Why does Wan Xiaohu think he can control it?"

"Chutian Metropolis Daily": "Chinese films have an investment of tens of millions of US dollars. This is a gratifying thing, but we also need to know. The cost of tens of millions of dollars, including publicity costs, needs at least 1.5 million US dollars. Box office. At present, only two Chinese-language films have sold more than [-] million at the box office, and the prospect of "Wanted" is worrying."

What the media says doesn't matter anymore.Whether it is touted or bad-mouthed, it cannot change the pace of "Wanted".

When word of the casting got out, Dandelion's phone rang off the hook. Several artist agencies that had worked with Dandelion all wanted to grab a role.After all, a big production worth 6000 million US dollars is too rare. Being able to show your face in such a movie, even for a second, is an excellent way to increase your reputation.

And obviously, "Wanted" is a global blockbuster. For actors, what could be more attractive than such a movie?

The heroine of the movie is out of play, but there are two supporting actresses, and the competition is fierce.

However, these two supporting actresses are both clowns, and Wan Xiaohu has no plan to select artists from Flashing Star.

In the end, the obese female boss, one of the supporting actresses, went through an audition and chose Zhang Haiyan, a fat female who made her debut very early and has been working hard.Another male protagonist's cheating girlfriend chose the female artist Huo Siyan recommended by Huayi Brothers.

Wan Xiaohu already has someone in mind for the male number one and male number two.

The male number one Wan Xiaohu invited Chen Kun. This year, Chen Kun has officially switched from Rongxinda and was dug into the banner by Flashing Star. As a good friend who has collaborated with Wan Xiaohu in many movies and has a good relationship, Wan Xiaohu Naturally, Xiaohu would not treat him badly, so this big production was put on Chen Kun's head.

And the male number two, the leader of the Assassin League, has already sent a notice to the famous Hong Kong actor Zhou Runfa. After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Fa Ge entered Hollywood, but last year's starring role in "Bulletproof Monk" failed both at the box office and word of mouth, which made Fa Ge decline in Hollywood before it rose much.
