Chapter 415 Searching for Movies

At around ten o'clock, Wu Cheng said goodbye and went home. This was his habit. Everyone else knew that their boss was a very family-oriented man and never fooled around outside.

Therefore, when Wu Cheng offered to say goodbye, some of them felt disappointed, but they didn't say much. In fact, Spielberg was similar to Wu Cheng.

No matter how busy he is at work, as long as he can go home, Spielberg will usually go home to have dinner with his family. This was what he was like when he filmed "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

Speaking of "Raiders of Lost Ark", it is probably not available for release in the summer. Although there are three directors together... Spielberg, Lucas, and Cameron. But Spielberg not only wants to film "Raiders of Lost Ark", but also requires him to participate in the post-production of the "Three Types of Contact" he made before. This film was released in November last year.

"The First Drop of Blood" will be released in December, and there is also the idea of ​​avoiding it.

As for Lucas, he followed the crew entirely for the special effects production of Industrial Magic Light. And Cameron has no works yet, and he has more learning experience with the crew. Therefore, the filming of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" cannot be fast at all.

It is estimated that when "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is released and then the filming of "Alien et", it will take until the second half of the year. Think about the difficulty of "Alien et", it is estimated that when it is released, it will take until the next year.

However, Wu Cheng would not urge them, these people are very personal. Moreover, the filming here is not like that in Xiangjiang, and they are not so rushing.

So, this year's DreamWorks actually don't have many movies, and it's no wonder Shirley Lansing's eyes lit up when she heard Wu Cheng want to shoot a movie herself.

In fact, DreamWorks has missed a good movie called "Animal House", but they don't know.

Wu Cheng didn't know what Hollywood's high-box movies were in this era. He only knew some movies he was familiar with, such as some familiar ones played by future superstars.

After all, he is not a film professional and has never watched so many movies. His understanding of the entertainment industry is just some rumors circulating on the Internet.

However, who can tell clearly what rumors are true and what are false?

The DreamWorks script review department has a good vision because of Wu Cheng. They always compare those scripts from time to time with Wu Cheng's scripts.

The result is obvious, how can those scripts be compared with those classic movies? You should know that the scripts Wu Cheng took out are almost all classics.

Otherwise he wouldn't have seen it, let alone taken them out.

...

When he got home, it was already past eleven o'clock, and all the women at home had gone to bed, except for Madonna's room, there was a light on. Wu Cheng did not go to Hepburn's place, but after sending her home, he returned to his side. He was worried that Zhao Yazhi had not yet fallen asleep in order to wait for him.

When she was in Xiangjiang, she did this before Zhao Yazhi became pregnant. Now that she came to California, Wu Cheng was also worried whether Zhao Yazhi would adapt.

Wu Cheng had been with her for the middle of the night. Although Hepburn was a little reluctant, he didn't ask too much. He just kissed Wu Cheng in the hall before leaving.

Sure enough, when Wu Cheng returned home and quietly walked into Zhao Yazhi's room, he saw Zhao Yazhi sitting on the head of the bed, holding a book in her hand, but she had already fallen asleep.

Wu Cheng let out a sigh of relief, walked over gently, then gently pulled out the book from her hand, then helped her lie down, quietly turned off the desk lamp, and left the room.

For others, it is time to sleep, but for Wu Cheng, it is still early, he is quite energetic and has no sleepiness at all.

Although I had drunk a lot of alcohol before, when the breath in his body slightly changed, all the alcohol in his body evaporated.

When he arrived at the study, Wu Cheng started writing scripts. The company has not many dramas this year. In addition to adding lines to his own script, Wu Cheng also had to write a few more simple scripts.

A film company cannot be made in large productions, and small-cost movies are also necessary.

But when I think about it carefully, Wu Cheng suddenly felt a little depressed because there were not many small-cost Hollywood movies he had watched. When he watched movies, in order to make it more enjoyable, most of the movies he found were large-scale productions, with a strong star lineup and a high production cost. There were not many small-cost movies. After thinking about it, a movie suddenly jumped into his mind "Two Big Bulleys". Thinking of this movie, Wu Cheng thought of the movie "Crazy Stone" and the sequel "Crazy Racing".

In comparison, he will be more familiar with the "Crazy Two-part".

Unfortunately, these two films are authentic Chinese films, because the local slang added in them is not Chinese, so you will not appreciate the fun.

Moreover, if you don’t understand the national conditions of that country, it is difficult to appreciate the humor in many lines in the movie.

Therefore, this movie was abandoned by him without any hesitation.

As for other Chinese films, most of them are actually not worth adapting, because many of them are written based on the national conditions of China. However, some of the Hong Kong films can be adapted.

However, Wu Cheng gave up on the idea of ​​adaptation because it was too troublesome.

It’s better to be simpler than just using it.

As for "Two Big Smoke Bowls", Wu Cheng thought he could shoot it himself. When he had time, he would go to the UK to shoot it, and by the way, he could make an appointment with Diana.

So, he began to search for the memory tree in his mind to see if he could find some simple films from it, and then just plagiarize them.

Soon, Wu Cheng found the first film "This Man from Earth".

It's a pretty interesting movie, and it's a movie that uses purely line dialogue to drive a sci-fi plot, like a group of people sitting there telling a story.

Although it is simple, its fun is quite good!

With an investment of 200,000 yuan and a box office of over 100 million yuan, you can imagine how powerful its investment income ratio is.

But thinking about it, he gave up on this movie. Because, nowadays, there are not many science fiction movies, and the most representative one is naturally the "Star Wars".

And now, how long has the ‘Star Wars’ just come out?

Without experiencing the bombing of swords, spacecraft and cannons, and people have not yet experienced the aesthetic fatigue of science fiction, the effect of launching this drama will definitely not be so ideal.

Therefore, if you want to fight against the big one with a small amount, the effect may not be so ideal.

So he pushed this drama aside first. However, Wu Cheng thought that he could write a novel based on this subject.

I heard that this movie was adapted from a novel, and I don’t know who wrote it, so Wu Cheng was going to write it first. A movie that was made in 2007. At this time, I believe the novel should not be written yet! Wu Cheng thinks that we should take advantage of the pit first.

After making a note in the list, Wu Cheng continued to search for other movies.

Soon, a comedy appeared in his mind "Fifty First Loves".

When Wu Cheng watched this movie, he almost made himself laugh. Because he had never seen the introduction of this movie when he watched it, he just heard people say it was funny, so he just clicked it and saw it. As a result, he found that it was really awesome.

In this era, this drama can be shot, and the cost does not need to be much. The plot is quite simple, the investment is not large, and the shooting speed can be faster.

In addition to this, Wu Cheng also thought of "The Shawshank Redemption", "Forrest Gump" and so on.

However, these two films seem to be adapted from novels, and Wu Cheng didn't know if the novel has been released now. So he planned to write down the script first and ask someone to check if there are these two novels on the market. If not, he would just go to the screenwriter's union to register.

If these two novels have been released now, then buy the adaptation rights directly.

Moreover, "Shawshank Redemption" can be filmed now, because the story took place in the 1940s, so in terms of the sense of the times, there is actually no need to change much when plagiarized.

Speaking of this movie, countless people in later generations complained about it. Unfortunately, it was not lucky and encountered the same powerful "Forrest Gump", and ended up being the one who could only be a runner-up.

Now that these two films have become DreamWorks, Wu Cheng will definitely not let it become a runner-up.

Unless they are not lucky, they come across other more powerful films.

However, Wu Cheng thinks that the possibility is very low. Because these two films talk about the mainstream values ​​of the United States, I believe that no matter what era they are in, they can shine the light they deserve. As long as these two films will not be together again.

But now, this possibility can be ruled out.

When Wu Cheng plagiarized the scripts of these movies with excitement, there was a knock on the door outside the door. Wu Cheng said "Come in" and saw Madonna walking in with a bowl of soup.

"Here, this is the sobering soup that Anji asked me to prepare for you!"

Madonna looked reluctant on the surface, but her eyes showed a little hope that Wu Cheng would praise her, as if saying: Come on, praise me quickly!

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "How can you still make sober soup?"

"Anji and the others can do it! There are also a few aunts, they can do it!"

"Okay!" Wu Cheng shrugged, picked up the sobering soup and started drinking. Although the taste was not very good, Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Thank you!"

After Wu Cheng finished drinking the soup, he handed her the bowl, but she did not leave and stood there as if she wanted to speak.

Seeing her look like this, Wu Cheng asked, "Is there anything else?"

"When did you let me make a record?"
