Chapter 1330 Small Disturbance (Part 1)
"G, this film is called "God Walk" for the time being." When Guo Tailai went to the small building where James Annie and Kaixuan directed their screenwriting work, as soon as James saw Guo Tailai, he excitedly said loudly to Guo Tailai: " "Godspeed", I asked Kaixuan, the Chinese translation of this word is very interesting compared with English, so I will use this name first."
"This is your project." Guo Tailai shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently to James: "You can call it whatever you want, Godspeed, Devilspeed, whatever you want, this is your right."
"Ha! G, do you know why I like to work with you?" James laughed loudly: "It's because of this! You will give me great creative freedom that no one else can give me!"
Guo Tailai is very clear that he is a novice in the film and television industry. Except for some special effects scenes that feel good, other things, whether it is screenwriting, filming, editing, or director, are laymen. Ask him to make an extremely cool car, Guo Tailai can guarantee it with his chest, let him make a movie, it will definitely catch the ducks on the shelves. Therefore, what Guo Tailai is best at is to hand over professional problems to professional personnel to solve them. For example, Lin Jiayi is in charge of management, and James is in charge of filming.
"In fact, your idea is too beautiful." Guo Tailai gave James a blow in a joking tone without mercy: "Annie will keep an eye on every penny of your budget, think about whether you have offended Annie before. !Hahaha!"
James really turned black. Annie was his ex-wife, and it was recommended by James himself! Fortunately, Annie is a professional producer. As long as she has enough reasons, she will not bring her personal feelings into her work. They have cooperated many times and have confidence in Annie's professionalism.
Guo Tailai came here this time not only to look at the script that has been formed, but also to say hello to Director Kaixuan on the other hand. Anyway, Guo Tailai also understands now that no matter what kind of business he is in, there is always no harm in getting to know more people and forming more good relationships.
"Thank you Mr. Guo for providing this opportunity." Director Kaixuan is also very good at life, and shook hands with Guo Tailai very warmly. He did not participate in the previous motorcycle release, but he has been involved in the creation of the script, which is equivalent to joining this level of big investment and special effects movies from the creation stage, and benefited a lot.
Just thinking about the realization of special effects from the stage of script creation allowed Director Kaixuan to understand from another aspect what is called the film industry, rather than simply called creation. This is a completely different scale and mode from the "Deadly Tenderness" he filmed in Paris, France, and he learned a lot.
"You can come and help me check this project, I wish for it!" Guo Tailai said some polite words now, anyway, James couldn't understand it anyway. Obviously he came here to join the crew to study, but Guo Tailai directly said that he was helping him to check it out and made director Kaixuan happy, and he was in a good mood.
Guo Tailai can only be so polite, the other party is much older than him, can Guo Tailai still use the relationship between superiors and subordinates to encourage others? What's more, they are not subordinates at all, so they can only be so polite.
"I heard that those hot scenes are all your ideas, Mr. Guo." Director Kaige is not a purely cultural director, and he also understands the principle of people carrying people in bridal sedan chairs. He cheerfully gave Guo Tailai a thumbs up: " Great, when we talk about racing movies, the first thing that comes to everyone’s mind is racing tracks and sports cars, but they never imagined that racing elements can be incorporated into such scenes. Wonderful!”
Everyone was exchanging business for a while, and the atmosphere was very happy. Guo Tailai also looked at the tentatively finalized script in advance, and those big scenes were integrated into it. There are stories, scenes, friendship, feelings, girlfriends, justice over evil, and most importantly, there are beauties of various styles. There are adrenaline-fueled racing cars and all kinds of extremely cool cars. As long as it is not a perfunctory shooting, it is difficult for this kind of film not to be a hit!
"James, every beauties, I mean every one." Guo Tailai fully respected the collective wisdom of the screenwriting group, and did not have any suggestions for revision, but only made a very important suggestion: "We must shoot them the most beautiful and coolest." I don't mean a violent female man like Sarah Connor, but a beautiful, sexy, fashionable and cool beauty. Just follow Jessica in "Dark Angel" as the minimum standard, I know you can do it. "
"No problem, but we need to increase the budget." James said confidently: "An increase of five million dollars in the budget for each beauty."
"Yes!" Guo Tailai agreed almost without hesitation. Just when Annie was shocked and was about to stop, Guo Tailai added with a smile: "The next movie, James, your investment in the next movie will give you an extra two dollars." Fifteen million dollars. But any one of them I don't think is pretty or stylish enough, sorry, five million flies."
"Deal!" James immediately agreed with a big smile. I didn't intend to succeed at first, it was just a joke, but if it increases the investment of the next film by 25 million US dollars, it will definitely make a lot of money.
Director Kaixuan listened enviously. Guo Tailai's promise in this sentence is only an increase of 25 million US dollars, which is a big investment of 200 million yuan in China, but here it is just an extra reward. How good would it be if someone in China invested in him like this? But Director Kaixuan also knew that it was impossible, even if Guo Tailai wanted to invest in him, it might not be easy, after all, he still has Huaying on his head!
The current revision of the script is mainly to refine the small flaws in the story and add those guest stars to it. The draft will be finalized this week. The main characters have all been decided, some supporting roles have been selected, and several large studios have been rented in advance. The two special effects companies, Weta Digital and Industrial Light & Magic, are all in place, and they are only waiting for the shooting to start.
If it was someone else's work, the two major special effects companies would definitely not be so strict, but this is James' film, so it is different. Including the two companies, almost the entire Hollywood has no doubt that James, who has sufficient financial support, will produce works with absolutely excellent special effects, just like the trust of vehicle enthusiasts in Mr. T. Both companies have sent the most core teams to participate in the crew.
In addition, all the cars that need to be used in the film are already in place, all of which are valuable real cars. Just these props alone, ordinary film and television production companies have already sighed, and only Guo Tailai can get them in this era. Go to these top resources!
In short, everything is ready for James' "Godspeed", just waiting to start shooting.
