China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 324 Sequel and Disinfection [Please subscribe]

After a day of filming, Sun Yi and Liu Yifei returned to their apartment villa at the University of Southern California. It was the weekend and they could take a rest.

When filming in Hollywood, it is really an 8-hour work day, 5 days a week, with weekends off. If you exceed 8 hours a day or have to shoot extra on weekends, you will need to pay extra overtime pay. The prerequisite is to seek the consent of the actors themselves. Of course, this is generally not the case. People refuse, after all, they have given enough money, and it would be a bit pretentious to shirk anymore. After all, Hollywood is also a circle, and if you are a circle, you have to pay attention to your reputation.

Sun Yi's movie has already finished much faster than expected due to the improvement of Liu Yifei's acting skills, so he didn't arrange overtime or anything like that so that everyone could have a weekend off.

The main thing is to give my girlfriend some time to adjust her emotions.

After all, for five consecutive days, my whole body was tense all the time, which was a big burden on my body and mind.

However, it seemed that Xiao Nizi's emotions had been vented last night, and the target of her venting was none other than Sun Yi.

A day of shooting was quite tiring, so the two of them had no intention of cooking at home tonight and just ate something on the road.

After getting home, after changing her clothes, Liu Yifei ran upstairs without knowing what she was doing.

Sun Yi was sitting on the sofa, with the script and several drawings spread out in front of him, comparing the shots one by one.

Everyone else can take a break, but not him as a director. After all, this film is of great significance to him. He can't simply make it, make money and pat his butt, and then go away. If so, why would he waste all those brain cells? , contact John directly, and after filming and releasing it, you will definitely make money.

Lighting a cigarette, Sun Yi stared at the drawing in his hand and frowned.

In fact, this is the original image of the alien that the special effects company sent him today.

It’s already the third edition.

Unlike in China, when filming movies, Chinese crews usually leave the special effects to post-production and concentrate on production. Of course, this is also because domestic movies do not have high requirements for special effects.

It's different in Hollywood. No matter how many special effects scenes there are, the special effects company will arrange professional special effects personnel to join the team as soon as the contract is signed, either as special effects directors or special effects assistants. For movies like Sun Yi, special effects The one with relatively few scenes is the special effects assistant.

Logically speaking, Sun Yi shouldn't have any entanglements with the image of aliens. After all, he had the original work in his mind and couldn't just copy it.

But this is an ideal situation, and it doesn't work in practice.

In a sense, the original work is a sequel to "Cloverfield". Although the story is not related at all, the entire background is copied from this film. Sun Yi cannot do this.

First, he does not have copyright, which means that if he does this, it will be plagiarism, and people will definitely sue him.

I went to apply for authorization at the last minute. Not to mention the high price, people may not agree with it. Another thing, in the current timeline, the film "Cloverfield" has just finished its large-scale release. Although the reviews are very high, the DVD of the film It has just been launched, it has been too short, and it has not yet formed a wide reputation among movie fans.

Therefore, for him, continuing to use the background of the movie "Cloverfield" has no selling point, has no significance at all, and is purely thankless.

He won't do such a thing.

Secondly, he had successfully signed a contract with Harvey and John. From Sun Yi's point of view, this game could be said to be a complete victory, which inevitably gave rise to another feeling in his heart. Ambition.

For this project, in order to cooperate, he gave up all the profits from the DVD and TV peripherals. Harvey and John will definitely promote it desperately. After all, whatever money they make is their own.

In this way, that is to say, as long as his movie does well, in addition to the box office deal, as the two of them continue to promote it for a long time, the movie is likely to form a reputation among movie fans.

You must know that there are far more people watching movies on DVD and TV at home than movie fans who buy tickets to watch movies in theaters.

Although he couldn't earn this part of the money, he didn't lose because he earned the sentiment.

What is the most profitable outlet in the future, how to monetize traffic, what is emotion, emotion is also a type of traffic.

The copyright of the movie is still in his hands, so he can definitely make a sequel and sell the sentiment again.

Therefore, he wants to change the background of a story to be his own.

It is also about an alien invasion, but what is different from the original work is that Sun Yi put the alien settings on the monsters.

Monsters created by aliens.

In other words, the aliens did not appear, and the monsters were sent to attack first.

He has already thought about it. As long as his plan for this movie is successful, the next movie will be the beginning of comprehensively learning and mastering various Hollywood techniques. He must make a big wave and decide the outcome in one battle.

That is to say, he is a reborn person and knows that his movie will be successful. Otherwise, who would dare to play like this? If it fails, he will lose all his pants.

The problem at hand is the specific image design of the monster.

Sun Yi's requirement for the special effects company was that the film should be large and intimidating, similar to a small version of Godzilla, and not only in terms of size, but also have different abilities and be divided into levels.

He felt that the current third version of the drawing was good. After all, the monster scenes in this movie were just a few shots of Qing Hong, so it was good to leave a lot of suspense.

Everything else is left for the sequel.

I marked the two selected drawings and was about to put them away when I suddenly heard an exclamation.

"Ouch, little monster!"

Sun Yi turned around.

My girlfriend was busy for a while and finally came down. She was holding a small box in her hand and was looking at the drawings on the coffee table with great interest. "Is this the little monster I want to kill in the movie?"

Sun Yi put out the cigarette butt, fanned the smoke with his hand, nodded and replied to Xiao Nizi.

"Yes, but it's not you who wants to kill it, it's the one who wants to kill you."

"What? Didn't the script say that I finally escaped, found an alien monster, and then killed it?"

Liu Yifei is a little dissatisfied. Her brother has been lying to her recently, even for the sake of her acting skills during filming. Now, even though the script has been written, he still wants to fool her.

"Sorry, the script has changed."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I thought about it, but I still think it's unrealistic. The whole film has been set up for 100 minutes with a monster in appearance, and the heroine, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, just escaped, and was extinguished with a bottle of wine and a lighter. It's really It’s too far-fetched, I’ll change it to you getting away with it.”

The last 15 minutes of the film is also a major flaw in the original work. The alien monster that razed the city to the ground was actually solved by the girls so easily.

Originally, Sun Yi didn't think about a sequel. He just wanted to make the movie fans happy, so he didn't change it. But now that he has a plan for a sequel in his mind, he has no choice but to change it to a monster that doesn't care about the heroine at all. , allowing the heroine to escape with luck.

Of course, if there is a sequel, the age of the heroine will also be an issue, but fortunately, because it is his girlfriend, the age setting of the protagonist has been lowered. A girl of eighteen or nineteen years old can be set in future sequels. In five or six years, or even ten years, my girlfriend will be in the 30s and 16s, and she can have fun with it now, and it doesn't violate the rules.

When Liu Yifei heard that she could no longer fight the little monsters, Liu Yifei curled her lips in displeasure, but she didn't say anything else. When it came to movies, she had always been very clear about it. She would just do whatever her brother told her to do.

Holding the small box, he walked around the sofa and sat down next to Sun Yi.

"turn around."

"what?"

Sun Yi didn't know why.

Liu Yifei gently touched the edge of the band-aid on his face with her fingers, and said with some distress:

"Does it hurt?"

"Hum~"

Sun Yi had almost forgotten about the wound on his face. When Xiao Nizi vented his anger last night, he didn't notice it at all. When he was washing up in the morning, he saw it and temporarily used a band-aid to deal with it. In fact, it was mainly to cover up his face. , not that the wound was serious.

When his girlfriend mentioned it, he pretended to be silent.

"Deserving it."

Liu Yifei took a sip, then quickly opened the small medicine box and took out a bottle of white and transparent liquid.

"What?"

"Disinfect."

"What's this for?"

"Alcohol."

"I'm afraid this will hurt a little!"

"Oh, don't make trouble."

Liu Yifei raised her pink fist and slapped Sun Yi on the leg, which made everyone laugh. At this time, Sun Yi still wanted to be funny and actually acted like Hu Guangsheng again.

After teaching her boyfriend a lesson, Liu Yifei carefully helped him take off the band-aid on his face. An obvious bloodstain stretched from the base of his ear to the corner of his jaw.

With a bit of heartache and regret, I carefully took the cotton swab and dipped it in it.

To be honest, she didn't pay attention to when she injured her brother yesterday. During the day, she was still a little confused about why her colleagues in the crew looked at her and her brother with curiosity today. When she and her brother had dinner together at noon, she noticed.

This time, when she returned to the villa, she immediately fetched the medicine box to disinfect and apply medicine to her brother.

"oops."

"What's wrong? Does it hurt? I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Sun Yi suddenly made a strange cry, which shocked Liu Yifei and apologized repeatedly. She was obviously very careful, but she still hurt her brother.

"No, that's what I just want to tell you. Sister nurse, if you wait a little longer, the wound will probably be healed."

".You're so naughty."

　There will be another chapter later, asking for a monthly pass.
