...

The dozen or so Hollywood actresses who were waiting for Xu Kai to come to "lucky" them never expected that Xu Kai was not only late, but also found various reasons to pass them all.

This undoubtedly disappointed these Hollywood actresses.

Among them, a Hollywood actress named Emily Blunt was the most disappointed, because Jon Favreau, the director of "Iron Man 2", was the most optimistic about her and recommended her to Xu Kai grandly.

In this case, Emily Blunt will of course feel that the role of Black Widow is in her pocket.

Unexpectedly, Xu Kai didn't accept Jon Favreau's opinion at all, and directly gave Emily Blunt to Pass on the grounds that Emily Blunt was a bit tall and did not match the Black Widow.

Apart from going to Jon Favreau to file a complaint and sow discord between Xu Kai and Jon Favreau, Emily Blunt is really helpless.

——Whether it is Iron Man or Black Widow, the copyright is owned by Xu Kai, and Xu Kai accounted for half of the investment in the movie "Iron Man 2", and besides being the producer of "Iron Man 2", this time Xu Kai Kai Huan and Kevin Fitch became the co-producers of "Iron Man 2", so, let alone Jon Favreau, even Kevin Fitch, no one dares to control who Xu Kai chooses to play the Black Widow .

Of course, Jon Favreau felt a bit grudge in his heart, and felt that Xu Kai didn't betray his face.

but--

When Jon Favreau saw that Nicole Johnson had already been set up, he also understood why Xu Kai chose Nicole Johnson instead of Emily Blunt to interpret Black Widow. Born for the role of Black Widow.

After the role of Black Widow is selected, "Iron Man 2", which requires relatively few characters, can start production.

However, "Shang Qi", which was launched almost at the same time as "Iron Man 2", did not start so quickly.

There are many problems in "Shang Qi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" in the previous life.

To sum up, there are actually two main points:

[-]. There is a serious problem with the setting of the background.

The producer of "Shang Qi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" in the previous life set that Xu Shangqi's father Xu Wenwu led his Ten Ring Army to sweep every corner of the world for thousands of years, lurking in the dark and subverting all parties. The regime, which has also rewritten history, is a very evil character and a very evil force.

Although after the filming was finished, due to the resistance of the Chinese audience, the producer of "Shang Qi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" denied that the character of Wen Wu was not the notorious Fu Manchu. Marvel did not have the copyright of Fu Manchu, and they did not want to own it. Fu Manchu's copyright, but just looking at the setting of Wenwu and the Ten Ring Army in "Shang Qi and the Legend of the Ten Rings", we can see that the role of Wenwu has not completely got rid of Fu Manchu, who is hated by the Chinese.

The key point is to say that lurking in the dark and subverting the regimes of all parties is like a shit stick. This is obviously a good thing that some Western countries often do. It is too shameless to pin it on the Chinese people.

The key point is that as we all know, the Chinese who have suffered from aggression only like to defend their land and not aggression. Who doesn't know who is the one who likes aggression?
The producer of "Shang Qi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" is so stupid that he exposes people's scars and turns black and white, and wants Chinese audiences to pay for it. Isn't this wishful thinking?

Second, there is a particularly serious problem with casting.

There are so many handsome and handsome Chinese actors who can represent Chinese people, but the producers of "Shang Qi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" had to choose the ugliest Liu Simu and Awkwafina to play the leading roles.

It seems that Tony Leung's wife is cheating. Otherwise, with Tony Leung's thick eyebrows and big eyes, how could he give birth to the old, ugly and greasy Liu Simu and the plain-looking Zhang Meng'er?
There is also the ugliest Awkwafina, with her appearance, any woman from the Chinese people is better than her, even a comedian from the country love is much prettier than her, the key is A comedian should also act funny instead of looking funny. The key point is that she doesn't have a figure yet. Let's put it this way, Xu Shangqi is a superhero after all. How stupid is he to look down on beauties?
As for Liu Simu, who has been an actor for many years because he was lucky enough to become the leading actor, he would kill his Chinese father, kneel and lick his beautiful stepfather, etc., it is an actor's own brain-dead behavior-anyway, he never thought of returning to China, let us The Chinese don't treat him as a compatriot, anyway, just don't let him earn money from us Chinese.

In short, the plot of Xu Kai's version of "Shang Qi" needs to be greatly changed.

First of all, Xu Kai personally worked out the plot framework of "Shang Qi", which is the main line of "Shang Qi".

Xu Shangqi's father and mother are worldly experts like Master Gu Yi. Xu Shangqi and his sister Xu Xialing lived with their parents and clansmen in the mysterious Tarot Village since they were young.

There are all kinds of mythical beasts in Tarot Village—the legendary Chinese auspicious beasts such as phoenix, unicorn, and nine-tailed fox.

Thousands of years ago, there was a high degree of civilization and powerful power in Tarot Village.

And the people of Tarot Village have lived in Tarot Village from generation to generation, guarding the powerful dragon from the universe that was defeated and sealed by their ancestors...

Let's put it this way, under Xu Kai's design, Tarot Village is equivalent to the isolated and technologically advanced African country Wakanda, and it is also a powerful force guarding the earth. It will be a powerful force, and the villagers of Tarot Village will fight against Thanos' army under the leadership of Xu Shangqi to defend the earth.

There are two kinds of treasures passed down from generation to generation in Tarot Village. The same is the Ten Commandments, which are comparable to infinite gems. The origin of the Ten Commandments is quite mysterious. The user can also endow the user with eternal life, and the Ten Commandments can be realized just by wearing it. More importantly, the Ten Commandments have no obvious side effects, and it is indeed a super artifact from heaven.

In addition, Tarot Village also has a set of battle armor made of Shenlong's scale armor. Its hardness is comparable to Edman alloy, and its defense power is among the best in the Marvel universe.

Xu Shangqi and Xu Xialing have practiced martial arts since they were young, and they are determined to guard Tarot Village with their clansmen to suppress the magic dragon sealed by their ancestors.

But Thanos wants to release the magic dragon to find the infinite gems with him and destroy half of the cosmic creatures.

After hearing the news, S.H.I.E.L.D. sent Black Widow and Hawkeye to inform Tarot Village that Thanos' men were going to attack Tarot Village.

But Black Widow and Hawkeye were one step too late. When they arrived at Tarot Village, Thanos' general Anye Proxima had already defeated Xu Shangqi while Xu Shangqi's parents were out visiting the village, and Master Gu Yi was not in the village. dragon.

After the magic dragon fled, its demonic nature exploded, and it began to destroy the world crazily with Proxima Anye, and finally occupied the magic capital of Huaguo, wreaking havoc.

After Xu Shangqi's parents learned of this, they immediately bid farewell to Master Gu Yi and returned to Tarot Village through the gate of time and space.

After learning the whole story, Xu Shangqi's father decided to lead the villagers of Tarot Village to forge weapons, and then went to the magic city to fight against the magic dragon.

During this period, Xu Shangqi's parents gave brief training to Xu Shangqi, Xu Xialing, Liu Xian'er and other tribesmen, and then helped Xu Shangqi to subdue the Ten Commandments.

After Xu Shangqi successfully subdued the Ten Commandments, he put on the Dragon Armor, and together with his parents, he led the tribe to find revenge on Proxima Dark Night and defeat the Demon Dragon.

Dark Night Proxima is one of Thanos' five generals of Obsidian. She is extremely good at close-to-hand combat and is a master of cosmic fighting. Her fighting skills have surpassed most of the strong in the universe. The weapon is a sharp gun forged by Thanos himself. , as long as it is thrown, it will split into three black rays that can track the target, but any creature touched by it will die on the spot.

In short, Xu Shangqi defeated Proxima Centauri through battle, let her escape from the earth with her men, and then joined hands with her parents to kill the dragon.

In order to ensure the fun of "Shang Qi", Xu Kai recruited several top Hollywood screenwriters to fill in details and lines for "Shang Qi".

By the way, according to Xu Kai's vision, the girlfriend in the early stage of "Shang Qi" is Liu Xian'er from the same village, and the girlfriend in the later stage is Captain Marvel.

Of course, the premise is that the Marvel universe can shoot at that time.

In terms of casting, Xu Kai selected all the most outstanding actors in Huaguo.

For example, Xu Kai chose Xu Shangqi's parents, two well-known middle-aged stars in Huaguo who are both very talented in acting and handsome and beautiful.

Xu Shangqi's girlfriend, Xu Kai directly Jue Xian did not avoid relatives and used Zhu Bing, who has both Eastern and Western beauty.

As for Shangqi's younger sister Xu Xialing, Xu Kai also directly used Zhang Zhiwei.

The villain Dark Night is Proxima, and Xu Kai recruited the martial arts master Wu Bin, who is the mentor of many action stars, the closed female disciple of Master Wu Bin. The women's Tai Chi fan champion, and Wang Yingying, a new generation action actress who also won the sixth National Wushu Open Championship in Changquan and Longlance, will play.

As for the other roles, Xu Kai found all the best actors from Huaguo and Hollywood.

As for the director, Xu Kai didn't direct it himself - his family knew about his own family affairs, and Xu Kai knew that if he hadn't cheated, his level might not be comparable to other top-notch directors. It's not what Xu Kai is good at, um...Let's put it bluntly, Xu Kai is afraid that he will ruin his own plan, and he is also afraid that the things he spends money and effort to photograph only have a market in China, and there are no other countries and regions in the world. market.

Therefore, Xu Huahua paid a lot of money to invite one of the best directors in Hollywood, James Spielberg, who is very good at making science fiction movies, to direct "Shang Qi", and allowed him to form the team of "Shang Qi" .

Moreover, Xu Kai promised James Spielberg that he would just shoot, without considering the production budget, and there is no upper limit to the budget.

All in all, the purpose of Xu Kai's filming of "Shang Qi" is, as long as the best is the best, regardless of money.

To put it bluntly, Xu Kai never considered using "Shang Qi" to make money at all. He was going to use "Shang Qi" to open up the Hollywood film market for Chinese stars, use "Shang Qi" to export culture, and use "Shang Qi" to make the world Re-understand the country of China and re-understand the Chinese.

But then again, for Xu Kai to do this, he must have the determination to bear a huge loss. After all, if this kind of sci-fi movie uses special effects, there is really no upper limit.

——As soon as James Spielberg took over, he took a copy of "Shan Hai Jing" and said to Xu Kai, every beast here needs a lot of money, are you sure you want to get them all?

Xu Kai said without hesitation at the time: "You can shoot as long as you think it is necessary, do whatever you want."

Having said that, in order to make up for it, Xu Kai opened another movie of his own - "Forrest Gump", which he plans to use to harvest the box office of the world's movies.

In addition, Xu Kai is also discussing with domestic film companies to sell the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown".

In order to sell the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown" at a higher price, Xu Kai also created a framework for "Detective Chinatown" movies, and even directly produced the script of "Detective Chinatown 3".

"Detective Chinatown" has a box office of more than 30 billion.

"Detective Chinatown 2" has a box office of more than 50 billion.

Now, audiences in Huaguo are looking forward to "Detective Chinatown 3".

Some experts predict that the box office of "Detective Chinatown 3" may exceed 70 billion, or even higher.

The point is, "Detective Chinatown 3" will be followed by "Detective Chinatown 4" and "Detective Chinatown 5", which can even be filmed forever, and you can also shoot "Detective Chinatown" TV series, or even comics and animations. How big is the market and how much profit is it?

Under such circumstances, Xu Kai wanted to sell the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown", naturally many people were tempted.

For example, Brother Films and Aina Films, which made a lot of money by releasing "Detective Chinatown" and "Detective Chinatown 2".

For example, Shaolin Baoqiang and others whose worth doubled by starring in "Detective Chinatown" and "Detective Chinatown 2".

For example, major cinema companies and major film investors.

and many more……

but--

Although the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown" is good, it is really not cheap for Xu Kai to ask for it.

——Xu Kai offered 50 billion to buy out all subsequent copyrights of "Detective Chinatown".

This is definitely an astronomical sum.

Even Brother Films, Aina Films, or the recently rising Light Films cannot take the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown" alone.

But then again, don't underestimate the strength of these film companies.

It is true that one or two film companies cannot acquire the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown", but these film companies can form a joint venture.

The key is that behind these film companies are those powerful theater companies and film investors.

Later, after learning that Xu Kai would focus his development on Hollywood in the next two years and would not compete in the domestic movie box office market, Wang Jun from Brothers took the lead and joined forces with Brothers Films, Aina Films, Light Seven natural persons, including the film company, Wuzhou Film Distribution Company, Sihai Film Distribution Company, and Shaolin Baoqiang, bought the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown".

but--

Because there were examples of Zhao Qihang and others who bought the follow-up copyright of "Ten Miles of Foreign Market" in the past, this time Wang Jun and others kept an eye out-they said that they could buy the copy of "Detective Chinatown" at the price Xu Kaikai offered. Subsequent copyright, but Xu Kai must be the director himself.

Xu Kai replied directly: "If I have this time, why sell the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown"?"

After many negotiations between the two parties, Xu Kai finally agreed to serve as the honorary producer and one of the named screenwriters of "Detective Chinatown 3", and to make a guest appearance in "Detective Chinatown 3" in the form of an ending egg.

Only then did Wang Jun and others buy the follow-up copyright of "Detective Chinatown" with satisfaction.

Selling the copyright of "Detective Chinatown" means that Xu Kai has really shifted his work focus to Hollywood, trying to complete his transformation into an international superstar.

But this is only temporary, Xu Kai doesn't want to be a second-class person in the beautiful country all the time - Xu Kai just wants to take advantage of the two years when Huaguo and the beautiful country are in the honeymoon period to gain more fame and fortune in the beautiful country and even the world , By the way, make a little contribution to the cultural output of the Chinese.

After Xu Kai completes this goal, he will definitely return to his roots...
