Chapter 1052

Directing a Hollywood blockbuster is a new attempt for Zhou Xia.

You can further understand and learn about the core part of the Hollywood film industry.

Warner Bros.' plan is to start shooting "Wonder Woman" in mid-November, and Zhou Xia will just finish filming "Chinatown 2" by then.

Coupled with the fact that the script of "New Detective 2" is still being polished, he plans to accept this movie.

The only pity is that the heroine has already been chosen, so he can't make any impact.

However, Gal Gadot is also very suitable for this role. Since "Fast and Furious" became popular all over the world, her popularity has been very high.

Although her image doesn't match the image of a big-breasted sexy superhero in the comics, and her chest intelligence is mediocre, she is more in line with the needs of Wonder Woman in this era.

As living on the Amazon Paradise Island, there are only women on the island, and she is the daughter of Zeus, the king of the gods, and Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons. In Wonder Woman Diana, she should be the image of the Amazon female warrior and Valkyrie.

Five minutes before two o'clock in the afternoon, Warner Brothers' Japanese-American President Kevin brought his assistant and Gal Gadot to the headquarters of Xiahua studio5. Zhou Xia brought Jeff, Peter Wait for someone to talk to them.

The two sides have needs for each other, and the previous negotiations focused on the distribution of mutual benefits, Zhou Xia didn't need to worry about these.

Their respective advantages are obvious. Warner has DC Movies and Hollywood status, as well as distribution capabilities in the global market.

Zhou Xia has huge box office results, as well as influence and popularity in the mainland market and even the world.

Gal Gadot was only briefly introduced to Zhou Xia and the female director Patty Jenkins, and Patty Jenkins took her to talk about film creation, while Zhou Xia stayed on the sidelines, listening The high-level officials of the two sides discussed other important matters.

In the end, two hours later, the two parties confirmed the basic matters. Xiahua Film and Television, Xiahua studio8, and Miaoyan Cinemas will all participate in the investment of this film, accounting for 38.6% of the investment.

Xiahua Film and Television will be responsible for the distribution in the Greater China region, and the film will be screened globally in the mainland first.

Fine-tuning Zhou Xia's pay and bill-sharing ratio has been made on the basis of the previous ones.

After the meeting, Zhou Xia had a brief meeting with Gal Gadot.

"Hi, Director Zhou, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Just as Zhou Xia walked into another conference room, Gal Gadot, who was wearing a purple dress, immediately stood up enthusiastically to greet Zhou Xia, and at the same time stretched out his hand.

"Hello, I am also very happy to cooperate with you." Zhou Xia said politely, shaking hands with the other party lightly, and looked at the other party casually.

Seeing Zhou Xia sizing her up, Gal Gadot didn't evade and stayed silent without speaking. She knew this was the professional habit of every director.

Gal Gadot looks lovely, not only the beauty of Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley, but also the sweetness of Minka Kelly and Taylor Swift, as well as the sweetness of Candice Swanepoel coquettish.

Her figure is also in line with oriental aesthetics, slender and slender.

In the "Fast and Furious" series, although Gal Gadot is not the heroine, she has a hot body and good means. After joining, she quickly became a bright spot in the male drama. The hotness, the seductiveness of Luo Shan when facing the gangster boss, or the wisdom shown after joining the "Rio Heist" team are all amazing.

The role of Wonder Woman, a superheroine, is also showing femininity in the final analysis, but it has improved the way those previous characters performed coolly.

Riding a motorcycle has become a direct jump and take off, seducing the gangsters has become a hero uniform, and the reason for fighting has also improved, becoming a fight for justice and peace.

In fact, whether it is Marvel or DC comics, the heroines are basically big-breasted and sexy beauties, which undoubtedly attract male audiences.

Moreover, the superheroine film and television dramas produced by Hollywood before the new century basically maintained the style of female heroes in comics.

It's just that now with the rise of women's rights, people's aesthetics have changed, and heroines have put on more conservative or individual clothes.

So as long as he doesn't make an extremely dark and deep film like "Batman" like Nolan, superhero movies like "Wonder Woman" are not difficult for him to shoot at all.

The story is ready-made, the script is carefully polished by the Hollywood team, the shooting team and the scene selection, etc., Warner will be well prepared before he shoots.

He only needs to do a good job in the part of directing and action scenes that he is best at, and the rest is basically fine.

Although Warner respected him for the right to edit the film, he never mentioned it from the beginning to the end.

But Zhou Xia doesn't stare at all of his own movies, but keeps directing his subordinates to keep busy, so he also took the initiative to ask Warner to choose a professional editor to cooperate with his work.

Zhou Xia was thinking about all these things while massaging Gal Gadot, her eyes fell on the long arms exposed from her purple dress, and her eyes showed a look of satisfaction.

Her arms have muscular contours that most women don't have, and her specially tanned skin makes her less feminine and more heroic. It can be seen that she has already made a lot of preparations for the role.

"Very good, it seems that you are already preparing for the role. I hope you can increase your body flexibility next. When the time comes to shoot, I will make some adjustments to the current action scenes, and the difficulty of the actions will increase."

Zhou Xia looked away, looked at Gal Gadot seriously and reminded.

Gal Gadot's performance in "Wonder Woman" is almost perfect.

In the movie, she is Diana, the daughter of Zeus, with the Vulcan sword, guardian silver bracelet, mantra lasso, divine power shield and other weapons. , meeting gods and killing gods, brave and pungent, the role interpretation is indeed very successful, Zhou Xia doesn't need Zhou Xia to give guidance and make demands on these.

But Zhou Xia has always had higher requirements for action scenes, so he only made this request.

"Okay, director, I will prepare carefully. Do you have any good suggestions? How can I do more targeted exercises to strengthen the body's flexibility? Or is there any more specific method? For example, There is no suitable kung fu master to recommend to me?"

Gal Gadot attached great importance to Zhou Xia's request, and immediately asked seriously.

"Kung fu masters don't need it. Your character doesn't need to express Chinese kung fu. You just need to do more difficult yoga moves. When it's time for filming, I'll design specific moves for you, and you can just practice again." gone."

Zhou Xia thought for a while and replied.

"Okay, director." Gal Gadot nodded immediately.

Seeing that Gal Gadot continued to look at him expectantly, Zhou Xia understood and hurriedly said, "That's all I have to ask for. I believe in your ability in other aspects, and you will definitely do well."

"Thank you director, but I have some questions I want to ask you, I don't know if I can?"

Gal Gadot was a little surprised by what Zhou Xia said, and hurriedly asked politely.

Before she came, she was looking forward to Zhou Xia giving her more guidance and requirements to help her play this role well this time.

Unexpectedly, when they met, Zhou Xia only said a few words, did not talk to her about the role, character analysis, or understanding of the script, but directly said that she believed her.

There was something wrong with this situation. She was cooperating with Zhou Xia for the first time, and she couldn't grasp the performance method he requested, so she had to ask clearly.
