There is a small group in Hollywood called the Lazi Gang.

The leader of the first generation of the Bad Boys was Ben Stiller, and the core members were Will Ferrell, Owen Wilson, Jack Black and others.

The feature of the work is mainly brotherhood, combining shit, pee, fart and various absurd plots, such as "Ace Announcer" and "Tropical Thunder", which promoted the development of R-level comedy in Hollywood in one fell swoop.

They use human-season tactics, support each other, make guest appearances, and collaborate in production to reduce costs and increase box office influence. They have indeed gained a certain status in Hollywood, but they are still not the top player.

Because above them, there is the King of Hollywood Comedy, Jim Carrey!

The second generation of the Bad Boys was born after 2000. The gang leader is Judd Apato, core members Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill, Michael Sera, etc., and his masterpieces include "Forty-year-old Virgin", "One Night's Belly", "Neighbor Wars", "Sausage Party", etc.

Chen Qi chose the second generation of the Random Gang's "Forty-year-old Virgin" and "Neighbor Wars". The cost is not high and the box office is good.

He doesn't want to do anything like "Scream", "Death is Coming", "Saw", "Soul Conjuring", etc., so he will keep it later. The current task is just to help Colombia raise its stock price.

He appointed two groups of people, and the group immediately started running at the speed of Hong Kong, preparing for the crazy roll.

Five months, each group only makes one film and sprinkle water!

Of course, it is certainly difficult for Hong Kong people to film in Hollywood, but fortunately, Chen Qi has opened up channels and established a base, which has offset environmental factors to the greatest extent.

In contrast, Colombia Chairman Kaufman was stunned.

"If I remember correctly, I just finished talking with Chen a week ago? He has already taken out the script?"

"More than just the script! The production team has been convened and even started casting, urging us to make money!"

“…”

Kaufman looked at the document and was silent for a long time, sighing: "This is not his own login, it is the login of the entire Hong Kong film production system! At this critical moment, did he get such a team?"

"I just think that if the screenwriter strikes last too long, the strategies of each company will definitely change in the future." Price said.

"You go and deal with it! These should be the two fastest films in Colombia."

…………

Los Angeles.

A medium-class residence, 32-year-old Tom Hanks has just finished reading the script of "Neighbor Wars".

He is from California, his father is from English and his mother is from Portuguese. He entered the industry in 1978 and has been a supporting role for a few years. Most of the impression of Tom Hanks is that he is a middle-aged and elderly white man with a little fat and a little long face.

But when he was young, he was at the level of idols and specialized in playing the sunny and cheerful big boy.

He is now quite famous and collaborated with 20th Century Fox in a film "Flying Over the Future".

Telling a 13-year-old boy who made a wish to become an adult was very happy at first, but as the pressure of the adult world approached, such as work, life, and love, he began to doubt whether this was the growth he wanted...

The film was released this summer and had a very good box office. Tom Hanks was nominated for the Oscar Award. It was from this film that his status began to improve.

At this moment, he picked up the phone and called the agent, saying, "I have finished reading the script of "Neighbor Wars". It has no artistic value and is a pure crazy comedy, but I think the box office will be very good."

"It will be quite good! You have to know that the Chinese man failed. His two youth films cost less than 5 million yuan, and they won a box office of 700 million yuan!"

"But the pay?"

"Oh, wait first! I'll answer the phone."

The agent hung up first, Tom Hanks waited for a while, and his pay for 2 million in "Flying Over the Future" and 1.5 million in "Neighbor Wars".

Not long after, the agent called again and said, "Two Century Fox contacted me, their attitude was, I suggest you next."

"What does "Neighbor War" have to do with Fox?" he was surprised.

"Mr. Chen promised to help improve the script of "Flying Over the Future". Fox has a good relationship with him. He said that his film will definitely have box office results. It is recommended that you reduce the price temporarily to increase the subsequent commercial value."

"Flying Over the Future" has been filmed, but it also needs to be re-shooted and revised.

"What about your opinion?"

"You lack box office appeal and need a few commercial films with good results to improve your status. Anyway, there is a strike now, and you have no other job in the short term. "Neighbor War" only needs 30 days to schedule."

...

"500,000 is too little, my opinion is 800,000!"

"No! I think it's great, this character is very outstanding and suits me!"

At another residence, Megrion directly discussed face to face with the agent.

She is 27 years old and has just made her mark. She has to wait until "When Harry Meets Sally" to improve her status. Later, she collaborated with Tom Hanks on "Seattle Night", "Electronic Love Letter", etc., and is a famous Hollywood screen couple.

She was more determined than Tom Hanks, stressing:

"You don't have to persuade me anymore. I like "Neighbor Wars". I must star in it. I will have a representative work! And they only need my 30-day schedule. After the filming, I happened to join the "When Harry meets Sally" group!"

...

Similar scenes also happen to some actors.

The male lead in "The Forty-year-old Virgin" was chosen by Steve Martin.

This guy debuted as a talk show and entered the film industry in the 1980s. His representative works include "A Basket of Children", "Pink Panther", etc. Now he has no status in later generations, but his pay is not low, reaching the million-level level.

The heroine is Shirley Lang. She is still an actor in the TV series. The screenwriter went on strike. She was temporarily unemployed and had no bargaining power. The crew offered 100,000 yuan, but she didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.

Most countries are the same, and movie stars are generally more prominent than TV series stars.

If a TV series star wants to enter the movie industry, his pay will not be too high.

In addition, Julia Roberts and Halle Berry will play supporting roles in "The Forty-Old Virgin" and "Neighbor Wars", especially the first one, because the male is mainly broken! There must be some wonderful female characters.

Big Mouth Jue can play a prostitute, which is considered to be the basis for "The Pretty Beauty".

The timing was very coincidental. The strike affected 30-50 Hollywood movies. Only Chen Qi's two films could be started at this stall. The main cycle was very short and it couldn't be delayed for too long. The actors were in a position to make trouble and communicated smoothly.

In short, his team attacked from all sides and took it down.

The budget of the two films is only 15 million, but it seems much more reliable than those miserable films in Colombia. Colombia also tried to turn into a bicycle into a motorcycle and gambled with Chen Qi.

And just after they prepared at an astonishing speed, both sides announced the news: "Colombia and Oriental Company jointly produced two new films, which will be completed and released within this year..."

In a time of bleakness, this news was simply a standout, which made many big shots suddenly react:

“What the fuck!”

"Why can they still turn on the computer?!"

"How did I forget that Chinese? He is not a member of the screenwriter's union!"
Chapter completed!
