Chapter 1689 New Year's New Plan Continued
In fact, DreamWorks has been interested in Transformers live-action movies not since 2005, but since 2003. Producers at the time wanted to shoot G.I.O. after the Iraq war, but ended up being more interested in Transformers.
After a series of preparations and pre-screenwriting, it has finally been pushed to the present. Director Steve, as the executive producer, began to advance the project. Back then Steve promised Guo Tailai that he would invite Chu Fei to be the heroine, and now he has fulfilled his promise.
Of course, being able to establish a project and enter the implementation stage is actually a reminder from Guo Tailai back then. Steve has always known about Transformers and often buys Transformers toys for his children. So as soon as the project idea was put forward, it got Steve's support.
Now the project team has just started casting. As long as Chu Fei is willing, she can directly enter the crew and become the heroine without going through the preliminary role selection. After all, Chu Fei also has the qualifications of being the heroine of a movie worth 1.6 billion dollars. She has no problem with her acting skills and charisma in this kind of popcorn movie.
"Do you want me to act?" Chu Fei didn't answer directly, but looked at Guo Tailai and asked.
Guo Tailai knew what Chu Fei meant, and replied with a smile: "Follow your own thoughts, don't consider me. He is fulfilling his promise. He may be the happiest if you don't act."
"I just want to know what you think." Chu Fei twisted and coquettishly said.
"Okay! I like Transformers." Guo Tailai said his opinion with a smile: "As long as there are no kiss scenes and sex scenes."
"I hate it!" Chu Fei scowled, patted Guo Tailai, and then said, "Okay, then I'll play the Transformers you like."
Guo Tailai lowered his head and kissed Chu Fei's pretty face, then picked up the phone and dialed back.
"Steve, Phoenix is willing to play." Guo Tailai first told Chu Fei's decision, and then made a request to Steve: "However, it is best not to have kiss scenes and sex scenes."
"Don't worry, we'll try our best to be PG, and there won't be any excessive scenes." Steve seemed to be relieved, and he was very happy to fulfill a promise: "These can be written in the contract."
"Okay!" Guo Tailai was very satisfied: "However, Steve, Phoenix is a supermodel, with a height of 1.79 meters. When you choose the leading actor, you must consider Phoenix's height in high heels."
The hero of the Transformers is Steve's godson, and Guo Tailai knew in the future dream that that guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he is drunk and drugged, playing big names, doing everything, and has a bad temper. He must not be allowed to influence or even harass Chu Fei in the film. Although Steve will definitely tell him not to get Chu Fei's idea, but who knows if that guy is stupid after drinking, high and high, it is best to get out of the crew .
"Well, this is also a problem." Steve didn't think about this before, and Guo Tailai realized after reminding: "I want my godson to be the male lead, but he is a little shorter than Phoenix."
"You may consider choosing one that is tall enough." Guo Tailai said without hesitation: "Your godson, the leading actor for the upcoming sequel of "God's Walk" has not yet been decided, or other films of Yijiang Entertainment, if you Willing to let him shoot under James, the studio tyrant, of course. You know, the film ... the investment is huge."
The sequel of "Shen Xing" has Julie as the protagonist. Julie is not an easy-going lamp, and she has been famous for a long time, and her skills are superb, so she should be able to suppress that kid. Of course, in the end, Guo Tailai reminded Steve that James' film had a huge investment, and he could exchange this instead of stuffing his godson into the crew.
"Is there still an investment share in "A" film?" Sure enough, although Steve runs DreamWorks because he does not have his own distribution department and is constrained by Hollywood's seven majors, he is a shrewd businessman. Hearing what Guo Tailai said, he immediately refused. Hesitant to ask about investment. There are not one or two people who are staring at James' new film and want to invest.
It's strange to say that James didn't find investment a few years ago, but no one dared to invest in him. If Guo Tailai hadn't interfered, it would have been Hollywood who discovered that the film's investment was 200 million US dollars casually, and only blockbuster films could make a lot of money. At this time, everyone thought of James. In terms of spending money to make blockbuster movies, who has played with him? That's why James had the opportunity to shoot "Avatar". But now, James has made another film with a box office of 1.6 billion US dollars. His new film is now rushing to invest, but Guo Tailai has to nod.
"Of course!" Guo Tailai said with a smile: "We welcome your personal or DreamWorks investment, but only 50 million investment share."
"OK!" Steve immediately made a decision: "DreamWorks invested in James' film. My godson, I will arrange other films."
Director Steve fulfilled his previous promise, and also got a chance to invest in a big project. Guo Tailai pushed Shijie's girlfriend into a global hit movie, and by the way, he attracted DreamWorks, and also drove away the male lead who might be difficult to deal with. Everyone felt very satisfied with the cooperation that was simply settled by one person and one phone call.
"Let Sister Wang discuss the contract another day." Guo Tailai hung up the phone before telling Chu Fei.
"I'm going to make a movie, what are you going to do in China?" Chu Fei hummed in agreement, and then asked Guo Tailai with her eyes closed.
"A lot of things." Guo Tailai thought for a while: "In addition to the normal mirror grinding and engine orders, make one or two watches, and then make submarines in the rest of the time, and try to make a test submarine within this year. Don't worry, they are all in the country and won't run around."
There are some things that cannot be said to Chu Fei, such as manufacturing lithography machines and so on. I only pick out some things that can be said, and try not to make Chu Fei worry.
"Phew! That's good! That's good!" Chu Fei was also worried that Guo Tailai would still go abroad like before, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Guo Tailai's plan. The last time Guo Tailai insisted on going to Afghanistan, it really scared everyone, Chu Fei was no exception, as long as Guo Tailai was safe, she would not worry.
Knowing that Chu Fei was in the hotel, Guo Tailai's parents specifically asked Chu Fei to stay for one more day, and then they rushed from the capital to Gusu. This time, the two also took the two foreign-colored porcelain gourds that Guo Tailai lent to the Palace Museum for exhibition last time, and brought them back to the hotel together.
"Feifei, come here, first hold this gourd to get some blessings." When Ding Yumei saw Chu Fei, she stuffed a gourd to Chu Fei without saying a word: "This has been exhibited in the Palace Museum for half a year, and it is contaminated. The royal atmosphere of our country and the royal atmosphere of the British royal family have been worshiped at the Lama Temple for two days, and then at the Baiyun Temple for two days. There is no taboo, come, hug for a while, and be more happy."
