Chapter 1207: On a Thief Ship (Part 2)

"Do you have any recommendations?" Guo Tailai asked James.

"Maybe you can consider Jolie in "Tomb Raider." James suggested: "The box office appeal is good, and it also has a wild temperament, which is also sexy."

Guo Tailai nodded for Lara Croft in "Tomb Raider", it can be considered.

"Since there is Jolie, Pete can be added as a male supporting role." Guo Tailai suddenly had a bit of a bad taste, what would it be like to toss these two people together in a movie in advance?

"Pete is handsome enough, not bad." James nodded and said, "I wanted to recommend Xiao Li, but after he filmed Titanic, he said he didn't want to work with me anymore and called me a tyrant on the set, so forget it. "

"Will Xiao Lizi be willing to play a supporting role?" Guo Tailai couldn't help asking curiously.

"That depends on who invites." James smiled indifferently: "I can't, but you can, trust me."

Chu Fei beside him was speechless for a while. Are these two people shopping at the vegetable market? It must be.

"So, there must be a character who plays against Phoenix?" James smiled and asked Guo Tailai, "How about you?"

"Forget it!" Guo Tailai shook his head directly: "If I show up, there will be no peace in the future."

"Won't you be jealous if there is a kissing scene?" James asked with a big laugh.

"Borrow! Borrow!" Guo Tailai replied without hesitation: "Don't think I don't know anything! Use a substitute when necessary, hmph!"

James shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and smiled wryly: "So, who do you prefer?"

"How about the soup?" Guo Tailai asked James.

"Not recommended!" James directly denied.

"Why?" Guo Tailai asked puzzled.

"First, Liang Tang may not be willing to play a supporting role." James said seriously: "Even if you agree for your sake, but his height is too short, and he is not good enough to play with Phoenix."

Well, Chu Fei is 1.8 meters tall, it would be embarrassing if the supporting actor is too short. Special Liangtang is very concerned about this, which is a pity.

"How about Keanu in "The Matrix"?" Guo Tailai mentioned another candidate: "This one is high enough."

"Difficult!" James shook his head and said, "Keanu is a bit insatiable. He doesn't make films that he doesn't like. He would rather play with his motorcycle."

"How about giving him a limited edition motorcycle?" Guo Tailai asked directly.

"What limited edition?" James just said something, and suddenly realized: "If you build a motorcycle by yourself, he will definitely be willing!"

"That's easy." Guo Tailai said with a smile: "It's just a matter of a motorcycle."

"Since we want to make female subjects, we still need to work as a team." James went on to say, "A black actress is essential, and now Hollywood is also advocating diversity."

"Harry Storm?" Guo Tailai proposed a name without thinking, not because he was familiar with it, but because he had just watched "X-Men" recently.

"You can send an audition invitation to her agent." James replied casually, noncommittal: "Now, there are Asians, whites, and Africans. There is still a Latino."

"Recommend one." Guo Tailai didn't know who was Latino at all, so he asked James directly.

"I worked with Jessica in "Black Angel"." James also replied without thinking: "The cooperation is not bad."

"Count her in." Guo Tailai nodded without hesitation.

"There is another big guy in your story." James asked another character: "It's a pity that the governor doesn't plan to send him, otherwise he would be suitable."

"The Scorpion King Johnson in "The Mummy 2." Guo Tailai directly used the original actor: "A professional wrestler with a great figure!"

"The main characters are all here." James clapped his hands: "You can send out audition invitations, and then form the crew."

"Why did you set up a crew?" Guo Tailai was shocked. He just discussed the plot and ideal lineup with James just now. How come it's time to form a crew? It's so inexplicable: "There is no script yet, nor does the director, copyright registration, production company, shooting budget, sponsors, everything has not been decided!"

"I like this story." James said solemnly: "I will sort out the overall context, then reorganize the core connotation of a female film, and then register the script. You go to register a production company, or directly buy one , isn’t there a production company here?”

"You want to shoot?" Guo Tailai was very surprised: "You don't go diving to see the Bismarck battleship?"

"Yes!" James said seriously: "But that has all been planned, and it won't take long. The water is too cold during this period, and it can be completed in May or June at most. During the waiting period , I happened to create this script and do the preliminary preparations!"

Guo Tailai never expected that James would like this kind of popcorn movie, but he seems to be serious. Is this popcorn story so good? Can it attract a big director like James?

"James, we are friends." Guo Tai looked at James for a while, and then said to him seriously: "I am very grateful for your willingness to help write the script. You don't have to direct it yourself, just recommend a suitable director for me Just do it."

"G, I really think this story is interesting." James also said truthfully: "Of course, there are some small guilt, but that's not the main thing. You know, I'm actually waiting for a brand new shooting called IMAX And the projection technology is completed. I am actually on vacation during this period of diving. Now that I have encountered an interesting story, why not shoot it myself? Besides, it is very interesting to be able to use all the cars you designed in this film thing!"

Guo Tailai understood that James' little bit of guilt was probably because he failed to find a suitable submarine designer in North America, which led to Guo Tailai being ridiculed on the Internet. But since James wanted to shoot, of course Guo Tailai was willing to delegate all the power to him. Does this guy have a record of failure in his own films?

"So, James, how much budget do you need?" Guo Tailai suddenly remembered another terrible reputation of James, and asked hastily.

"The more the better." James said unceremoniously, "How much did you plan to take?"

"Two hundred million dollars, is it enough?" Guo Tailai asked cautiously. Other people's $200 million is definitely enough for production and publicity, but it's hard to say for James, he can't even invest his own director's fee, there is no upper limit.

"It's just the production cost." James roughly estimated: "It should be almost the same. If you don't have enough, make up for it! I know you have money, and you don't plan to make money on this film. Other production companies will definitely pay me a lot Constraints, but you won't, will you? My friend?"

"I think I'm on a thief ship." Guo Tailai suddenly understood James' true intention: "Is it too late to refuse now?"
