Chapter 1081 Deep cooperation with Disney
The shooting in North America is busy every day. With the completion of Song Zuer and Erdi's scenes, it is mainly to shoot the scenes of several protagonists.

Successfully escaped from prison Qin Feng, Tang Ren and Song Yiyou were chased by Lu Guofu's younger brother on the street.

This is also the most difficult and expensive film to shoot, involving many action scenes, large group scenes, as well as scenes of grabbing carriages, galloping horses, and fighting.

Although Zhou Xia was still filming "Detective Chinatown 2", due to his specialties, he has naturally strengthened his action scenes a lot.

Not to mention Tang Ren's miscellaneous kung fu skills, Qin Feng is also in the police academy, including learning some kung fu from Tang Ren, and gradually getting better and better.

But the action scene is not the hard-core kung fu of his previous "New Detective", but the funny and funny kung fu similar to Cheng Nong.

Of course, as the protagonist reaches out and becomes stronger, this aspect will continue to be strengthened, and now it is also increasing with the development of the plot.

This drama is mainly a combination of comedy and detective action, so it is natural to distinguish "New Detective".

Otherwise, it will make people feel that the genre is repetitive, and they will get bored after watching too much.

A month passed in a flash, and it was the end of October. All the scenes in the United States had been filmed. In the next two weeks, the filming of "Wonder Woman" will start.

Zhou Xia first went to the North American company in Los Angeles to stay for two days to deal with some matters, and then returned to China to work.

Some arrangements for the post-production of "Detective Chinatown 2", as well as the post-production of his previous "I'm Not the God of Medicine", including many things at home and in the company.

He needs to return home in time to deal with these.

For North American companies, it is some cooperation projects for Disney and other companies.

Disney continued to talk to him about the super blockbuster Chinese-American hero. The script was already in the second draft, but Zhou Xia was not satisfied, so the other party had to go back and revise it.

Because hiring a suitable protagonist for this movie is the most important thing, Zhou Xia, the most suitable candidate, naturally must be respected by Disney.

Of course, with regard to the issues he raised concerning the bloodlines of Chinese heroes and root-seeking, Disney felt that there were too many revisions, or even redundant, and he couldn't help but wonder if Zhou Xia deliberately made things difficult for others.

After all, Xiahua studio8 (Xiahua North America Company) and DC Films, a subsidiary of Warner Bros., are now fighting fiercely, and they are going to collaborate on "Wonder Woman". He may not have the energy and mood to devote himself to this aspect for the time being.

Of course they not only want Zhou Xia to play the leading role, but it would be best for him to be able to direct, so that the success of the film will naturally be ensured.

But Zhou Xia only promised that if the script was excellent, he would consider playing the leading role, but he never promised to direct.

This naturally made Disney a little strange.

Apart from not having a suitable male lead, Zhou Xia almost directed and acted in his films, and now he doesn't want to direct such a suitable film for him, which is too abnormal.

Thinking about it, even if there was a new hero based on him in the previous Marvel comics, there was some reflection on his private life, and his identity was not respected, but now he has made up for it, and it is even more unreasonable for Zhou Xia to blame Disney for this .

After all, his cooperation with Warner and DC is mainly a relationship of interests, and there is also a lot of room for cooperation between the two parties in this regard.

Disney has many east-oriented stories, cartoons, and movies. These have good opportunities for cooperation with Xia Hua, so the misunderstanding between the two parties still needs to be resolved.

Therefore, when Zhou Xia had an ambiguous attitude towards the Chinese hero films of Disney's Marvel Pictures, Disney threw out another cooperation project: "Mulan" live-action movie, and hoped to have a global film with Xia Hua Film and Television. In-depth cooperation.

Zhou Xia couldn't refuse this project.

Twenty-one years ago, in 21, the animated film "Mulan" produced by Disney for four years was a classic of an era, making this legendary woman well-known in China famous all over the world.

Although many people in China have started this idea, including the film "Mulan" filmed by Yan Zi in 2012, its quality and influence are far inferior to Disney's animated film.

Now that Disney offered this olive branch, how could Zhou Xia refuse?
Maybe he and Xiahua Film and Television can develop and shoot another "Mulan" with a more Chinese-style IP, but why not use the value and influence of Disney's previous animation films to make this matter better?
So Zhou Xia immediately agreed and asked to participate in the writing of the script. As for the director, he is naturally the most suitable. The heroine was of course selected from Xiahua Film and Television.

After all, it is a Chinese-language movie with a Hollywood skin, and of course the actors must be mainly Chinese.

"Crazy Rich Asians", the famous "Crazy Rich Chinese", isn't it all Chinese actors?
Reached a cooperation intention with Zhou Xia and Xia Hua on the "Mulan" live-action movie, and the matter about the Marvel Chinese hero movie was also successfully resolved. Zhou Xia promised that as long as the script is completed and Disney builds a filming team, he is willing to star in the starring role and directed the film.

As a result, Xiahua Film and Television has also reached a cooperation intention with Disney.

When the news reached Warner's senior management, although there was nothing they could do about it, they were not happy. They and Xia Hua did not have that kind of exclusive partnership.

Furthermore, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. Competition and cooperation are very normal things in business.
Having reached an intention of in-depth cooperation with Disney in the future, Zhou Xia had a phone conversation with Zomi Hilla, the director who asked his North American company to invite the filming of "The Beach".

The other party has already met with Er Di, and proposed to the company the idea of ​​changing the heroine.

Erdi has no outstanding masterpieces yet. He has starred in many TV dramas in China and participated in movies such as "Sword of Heaven", but he has almost no reputation in the world. This is a horror movie facing the world. is not suitable.

Director Zomi Hilla's request is understandable, but this is Zhou Xia's arrangement, and it will basically not change.

Now Zhou Xia wants to personally convince this director. After all, this director has many excellent masterpieces in horror films, such as "House of Wax Museum" and "Orphan". The most important thing is the original film director, and the schedule is still suitable.

Through the phone conversation, Zhou Xia explained in detail why he chose Erdi, and talked about Erdi's upcoming films "Detective Chinatown 2", "Zhu Xian" and "Predecessor 2", which will definitely be much more famous than they are now .

As for the European and American markets, the genre and story of this movie make it difficult to invite Hollywood's top new-generation actresses to star, so he chose Er Di.

After Zhou Xia's detailed explanation and a more comprehensive introduction to Er Di, the director finally stopped raising objections and agreed to Zhou Xia's request, and at the same time hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate with Zhou Xia.
