Coquettish Rebirth

Jia Hongjian is a quick-tempered person. Although sometimes he does things in a leisurely manner, at such times he is absolutely confident about the next steps.That is to say, although he does things in a leisurely manner, in fact, he has already planned the overall planning of the subsequent links, and he can save time and save money in scientific completion without rushing too much!So, when he sees people like Li An who don't plan at all, or even resist planning, and only think about it slowly after arriving at the scene, he is really anxious!He has never seen such a grumpy person in his life!

Seeing such a person doing business, Jia Hongjian was really anxious from the bottom of his heart!And he couldn't talk about the urgency—when he intervened later, Li An still felt uncomfortable, felt that the investors were putting pressure on him, and felt that Jia Hongjian was dissatisfied with him.Turning back disturbed people's mood, the quality of the shots they took dropped, and looking back, the overall effect of the film was not as good as in history. Even if Ang Lee hadn't seen the effects he should have shot in history, could he not have an expectation in his heart?Looking back, seeing that all the effects were not satisfactory, could he not blame Jia Hongjian in his heart?Will they still cooperate with Jia Hongjian in the future?The so-called employing people is not suspicious, at least in this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", since Jia Hongjian believes that Ang Lee can shoot well, no matter how uncomfortable it is to watch, can't we just stop watching it?Otherwise, the money will go out again, and the relationship between people will go bad again, so why bother?

After much deliberation, Jia Hongjian still felt that it would be better for him to prepare "Tang Xuanzang's Fantasy Journey" first, although he had prepared it once before.Then, halfway through the preparations, Li An was procrastinating, but Jia Hongjian later let go because of his empathy.Meanwhile, on the other side, the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was edited by Ang Lee himself. Normally, even if he has the right to speak, he will not go up to interfere.But what about "Tang Xuanzang"?Jia Hongjian himself is the main creator.Still an investor.In the future, maybe a "supervisor" or "producer" will be named, so it is only natural for him to intervene!

Moreover, to put it more bluntly, although he, Jia Hongjian, kept asking for Li An's opinions beforehand.But I have never directly confirmed with Ang Lee that this film will be shot for him.Not to mention signing a contract.From a certain point of view, as long as Jia Hongjian finds a good excuse, changing directors is a breeze!In this situation.Of course, he is more willing to take the initiative to prepare such a "Tang Xuanzang" movie. Anyway, this movie is his story!

All in all, anyway, Jia Hongjian doesn't want to control Ang Lee now, but he wants to control his own movies!So here he didn't say hello to Ang Lee, and he started to continue to advance the preparation process of this movie-didn't he want to find an actor before, didn't Ang Lee shirk it at the time?Now I'm not in a hurry to find another actor, but I can get the script out first!Anyway, when you are looking for an actor, you also need to have a written book for others to read?

Finding a screenwriter is quite a thing - because such a film is to be promoted all over the world and cater to foreign audiences. At the same time, Jia Hongjian also wants to make money through Hollywood methods. In this case, foreign screenwriters must be needed, right?Then, because the story itself is from the Chinese side, there must be a Chinese screenwriter with certain English communication skills to participate in the revision.Otherwise, how long would it take for those foreigners to make up their lessons?

This matter is a bit difficult to handle.Among the screenwriters Jia Hongjian is familiar with, Liu Zhenyun is more capable of writing dramas, and he is able to check the information on the Chinese side if he is asked to help, but his English is a little bit bad-he was born in 58. Those who were born in this era and haven't gone to college, how can they speak English?It's just one or two sentences in total!So if you want to find Liu Zhenyun, you must arrange an interpreter or something for him, but Liu Zhenyun can handle it here, but Jia Hongjian in Europe and the United States doesn't know any screenwriters.

Looking for Tang Jili?This Tang Jili was the one who was the screenwriter in Cheng Long's "Who Am I Remake".But this Tang Jili, it’s okay to write scripts for Hong Kong films. He himself is not considered a top screenwriter in Hollywood, and when he was filming "Who Am I Remake", he basically didn’t use his scripts much. Mostly it was discussed by Jia Hongjian and Cheng Long. It was like a grass-roots team. There was only one script outline and they went straight to it!

He is familiar with Spielberg as a foreign director, and he knows a lot of actors, but what about this screenwriter?Who is the screenwriter looking for?How about looking for Spielberg and see if the old man has anything to introduce?Thinking of this, Jia Hongjian picked up the phone and checked the time. It should be around 10:[-] am on the US side, so he made a call.The phone call was connected quickly, but just as Jia Hongjian was about to speak, Spielberg hurriedly said: "Hi, Hung-chien, I'm watching a movie here, I'll get back to you when I'm done watching." How's the phone? Are you in any hurry?"

"It's nothing urgent, you watch first." Jia Hongjian hung up the phone curiously, but couldn't help thinking, what kind of movie is this old man watching?Isn't he busy with filming "Harry Potter" and that hbo's "Band of Brothers"?Why are you free to watch movies now?And why is he watching movies?For film release?Isn't Katzenberg usually in charge of this kind of thing?According to Jia Hongjian's understanding of DreamWorks, DreamWorks was indeed an agent for distributing various films, and it was not uncommon for various independent films to come to DreamWorks for distribution after they were filmed first.But generally speaking, Katzenberg takes people to watch this kind of movie and it's over. This old man was also a vice president in Disney back then, so he didn't have a good eye for it?Although people don't say that they can pick out super blockbuster movies with a box office of one billion dollars from independent movies, but it can be seen whether such an independent movie can make millions or tens of millions!

According to Jia Hongjian's memories of the history of DreamWorks over the past few years, Spielberg has never been asked to watch a film anyway.After all, those who need to watch films are all independent films, which have already been filmed and distributed by agents.Like Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's "Good Will Hunting", they came to DreamWorks with a script to invest in it-the investment in this movie is not small, about 1000 million US dollars!Although it's nothing compared to blockbuster movies, it's a big investment for a completely newcomer's work!

So now that Spielberg has been invited to watch the film, does it mean that he has encountered a very good movie?What movie is it?The movies that need to be watched must be independent movies. What kind of independent movies will be particularly popular in this year?Is it "The Man From Earth"?No, although this movie is amazing, but it seems that this movie came out in 07 or when, anyway, it definitely didn't come out in this era!What kind of film is that?

After Jia Hongjian was curious for about half an hour, Spielberg called, "Hello? Independent film! Although this film is an independent film, I think it is both artistic and commercial! It is estimated that if it is released, it will have a box office of more than 1000 million to 2000 million! In this way, we can earn some money by distributing it as an agent ..."

"Really, what's the name of this film?" Jia Hongjian asked curiously. "It's called...memory fragments! It means that a man and his wife were attacked, and then he was hit on the head. His long-term memory was preserved until before his wife was killed. His recent memory was lost, and it was a chronological amnesia. It’s just that I can only remember the events within 10 minutes now, and after 10 minutes, the memory will be cleared, and I only remember the events before my wife was murdered...” Spielberg introduced to Jia Hongjian enthusiastically.

Jia Hongjian was surprised when he heard this! "Memory pieces"?He has seen this movie!In his previous life, he specially downloaded and watched it from the Internet!If I remember correctly, this film seems to be shot by Christopher Nolan who later made "Inception"?Just when he was surprised, he heard Spielberg explain, "The director of this film is an Englishman named Nolan, and his film is adapted from his brother's short story. Yes, I messed up the various timelines and spliced ​​them together again. Although it sounds like people can’t understand the same thing, but he uses two different scenes of black and white and color to express the beginning and the end, so this is actually It’s also not likely to make people confused about the development of the story. At the same time, the ending of such a movie of his is still very ambiguous, which makes me feel that everyone may get a different answer, and this director has not deliberately explained it! So this director is very Talented, very talented, in the future, it is estimated that his movies will be full of discussions and then hit sales..."

wipe!This really is Nolan!This buddy has already started making movies now?And actually filmed "Memory Fragments"?It is estimated that he will slowly start working on the script of "Inception" in the future?If I remember correctly, Nolan has been working on the script of "Inception" for many years!And the script written by others is really good, even a director himself has some script skills... Eh?How about we get Nolan to be our playwright?Let's pay and let Nolan, who hasn't made a big name this year, work for us, how about it?In this way, the quality of the movie script is absolutely guaranteed?Even if the market fails, it is guaranteed!After all, the movies that Nolan made in later generations are basically very commercial!
