Chapter 170 About Contrast Moe

After the funding source was resolved, Carrey couldn't wait to discuss the script issue with two friends - Zhang Cheng then realized that these two are good literary lovers and their ambitions are writers and screenwriters.

The three of them have similar ambitions and they talk about girls. Zhang Cheng listened for a while and felt that the last movie they could make should be "American Pi".

Zhang Cheng tried to insert some topics: "You see, how about adding some Chinese elements?"

Carrey nodded suddenly: "A good proposal will help us develop the Chinese market. What do you think?"

Future screenwriter A: "There is only Chinese Kung Fu for Chinese elements."

Well, Americans only understand China.

Future screenwriter B frowned: "The heroine of muscle violence does not seem to fit the traditional British image. However, the Chinese market is indeed a big problem."

China imports a limited number of American movies every year, but as long as American movies are imported through normal channels, it means box office revenue of tens of millions or even over 100 million US dollars - for small-scale movies with small investments and small productions, you can definitely make a big profit as long as you enter them.

However, there are too many uncertainties in the threshold for entering the Chinese market. Many films with double reputation and box office defeats in North America have also been introduced, and some films with good reputation and box office are also rejected. However, after years of observation, the probability of blockbusters being introduced is relatively high, and the probability of films with Chinese elements is also higher, and the probability of children's movies being introduced is also higher. But none of them are absolute.

Zhang Cheng listened and saw the iced orange juice in the cup drank. He ordered another cup. Drinking the iced drink Zhang Cheng listened and found a loophole to speak and said, "I think adding elements to kung fu doesn't necessarily have to go the route of a muscular girl. Looking at the gentle and delicate girl who suddenly hits someone, there will be a contrasting visual pleasure."

When the future screenwriter A heard this, he wrote and painted in his notebook and said to Zhang Cheng: "The idea of ​​contrast is very good, let's continue talking."

Zhang Cheng said: "Look, Superman, Optimus Prime and others abused and crushed humans, even if they were bad people, I think everyone has already seen such scenes - and in order to contrast the strength of the bad guys, various special effects and settings are needed. Small productions can't afford to play this.

But, you see, if our female lead is a delicate and petite woman who looks gentle, and even a girl, when using Chinese Kung Fu to crush the bad guys - we just need to find a big muscular man with a weapon to abuse her. This can form a strong visual and thinking contrast - it is not a big deal for a muscular man to defeat a muscular man anywhere, and a little girl can use it to show her eyes by knocking down a muscular man."

Carrey nodded as she listened: "This idea is good and can also control costs well. We can think of the main storyline first. Leave the rest of the storyboard script and dialogue to Hollywood's transfer screenwriters."

Future screenwriter B: "How about revenge? Although it is a little old-fashioned, it is highly reasonable."

Future screenwriter A: "I already have an idea. Let me tell you first. I'll tell you if it's OK. The female lead is set as a girl about ten years old, and she lives with her father who is a professional Mexican wrestler. One day, his father was injured by a despicable opponent in a competition and lost the championship. He even retired due to injuries.

The female lead wanted to become stronger, avenge her father on the ring and get back the honor that should belong to her father. However, the father disagreed with the female lead's idea, believing that the female lead should go to school well, and then marry and have children and live an ordinary and happy life. Therefore, he refused to teach the female lead.

Every day after school, the female lead went to the Chinese martial arts hall in the local Chinatown to practice quietly. However, not long after, the female lead soon discovered that such practice disease could not make her stronger quickly. Moreover, after her father retired as a Mexican professional wrestler, the female lead's pocket money was not enough to pay the tuition for a long time in the martial arts hall.

The turn of time appeared on the way home. When the female lead passed by a Chinese restaurant, she happened to see several burly men drunk and making trouble in the Chinese restaurant, being easily knocked down by the inconspicuous Chinese restaurant chef and boss. The female lead lit up and found that this was the power she needed, and the Chinese restaurant owner was obviously a paradise living in seclusion here.

However, even though the girl took out her meager pocket money and wanted to learn from the Chinese restaurant owner, the boss firmly refused because he had retired now. He is just a cook who cooks, no longer a martial artist.

After the disappointed girl came out, she accidentally discovered the recruitment advertisement for the hourly workers posted outside the Chinese restaurant and exposed it. The next day, the girl came here to recruit hourly workers who wash dishes in the kitchen and took out all the advertising papers posted by the boss in Chinatown. The boss had no choice but to let her work as hourly workers who wash dishes in the kitchen.

The girl who had washed the plates in the kitchen for half a month suddenly asked the boss why she was avoiding her and practicing kung fu secretly, because in the past half month of observation, the girl had never seen the boss practice kung fu.

Faced with the girl's doubts, the boss asked the girl to pick up the iron pot and the fried spoon for cooking. The girl couldn't pick up the iron pot because the boss usually weighed the iron pot with one hand. Even if it was a fried spoon, the girl had to pick it up with both hands. Then the boss told the girl that kung fu was in life.

From this day on, the girl began to learn about her boss's life, starting with eating with an iron bowl and iron chopsticks - a weighted kitchen knife and an iron core rolling pin. As time goes by, the boss's attitude towards the girl gradually changed, and he began to teach the girl how to breathe and exert force little by little.

Spring is coming, and the girl has been working in the kitchen for a year. The girl who has made great progress complains that the master still has not taught her real kung fu - those skills to put people down. The boss smiled and agreed with the girl that when the girl can make a table of food in the kitchen, she will teach her real kung fu.

The girl began to practice harder, and it was not until a few months later that she barely made a table of food that satisfies the boss. After the boss and the girl finished the meal made by the girl, the girl asked the boss to fulfill his promise and handed her real kung fu.

The boss temporarily closed the restaurant and took the girl to the martial arts hall on the street. In the fight with the martial arts disciples, whether taller or stronger than the girl, they were knocked down by the girl. Looking at the opponents who fell to the ground, the girl realized that she had learned real kung fu.

One day shortly afterwards, in the kitchen, the girl told her master that her life of working and learning martial arts here was about to end. It turned out that the girl had signed up for the amateur low-level Mexican professional wrestling league. Although she was still far from the senior league of the enemy, the girl believed that she would advance.

The master calmly told the girl that she would welcome her in the future whether she came here to cook or eat. Finally, the master gave the girl a gift and asked the girl to go home to open it. After the girl returned home, she opened the gift and it turned out to be a pink butterfly mask used by a wrestler. It turned out that the master didn't say anything, but she had already known the girl's thoughts.

The girl replaced the black spider mask she had prepared before with a pink butterfly mask and won consecutive victories in the amateur low-level league. A year later, the girl wearing a pink butterfly mask stood on the senior league field of Mexico professional wrestling amid the shouts of fans, and was extremely calm in her heart when facing the enemy girl who had used despicable means to hurt her father.

The revenge battle, which lasted two and a half years, began, and the girl's father and his master watched the girl's game together in the corner - it turned out that the girl's father knew everything.

As before, the girl knocked down her opponent again and again in the game, and dexterously avoided the enemy's small tricks used to turn defeat into victory and then tore off her opponent's mask - she was taken off, which also announced the end of her career in Mexican wrestling.

The bell rang and the competition ended, and the flowers cheered like a tide. The next day, the girl and her father went to a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown for dinner. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a large poster of her own hanging on the wall.

That’s what I thought of, there is only one outline, what do you think?”

Carrey: "Awesome, Chinese elements, Mexican elements, Hollywood elements (violent revenge), teenagers inspiration, children educate family relationships..."

"Very great." Although Zhang Cheng also knew that the female lead must use white people, there was no way. This is a white society. White Latinos may also be the protagonist, but it is difficult for Chinese to become famous movie stars. The transparent glass wall in the United States has always existed, both in Hollywood and in the research rooms of colleges and universities.
