Chapter 102 The Most Imaginative Person on Earth
"The casting of McKenner's company has begun, and perhaps the use of 'beauty pageant' is more appropriate! Because any actress with a little beauty, or the ladies who dream of becoming an actor, flocks to each other, especially when Li Siming claims to have three protagonists.
Director Li Siming, holding a cup of strong tea in his hand, sat on a chair aside in a very comfortable way, with a cigar in his hand, but I didn't see him taking a sip. He looked at his assistant signing the actresses who were incoming. The beauties who could or could not, walked over in front of him like butterflies, hoping to attract his attention. He didn't take a look at it at all, because he was obviously thinking about other things.
I guess he must be wondering, this time, did he jump into the pit dug by others, and he regretted that his reaction was a bit too big?" This was what one of the large number of reporters who heard the news.
"I would rather believe that people might not like all my movies than every movie I have to like, so I decided to create an interesting movie of never before. Regardless of whether the audience, especially the critics, will argue, we have achieved our goal. Because people who like to watch will definitely come and support them, and these people occupy a considerable number of people who often go to the cinema. We are in an era of seeking innovation and change. Anything happens, and the audience's appreciation taste is also changing. Why are there James Bond, and there are no female characters to save others and the world?" Li Siming seemed to defend himself, and also called for his own injustice.
This is what Li Siming said when he obtained the movie adaptation rights. In order to obtain the adaptation rights, the future premiere rights of the TV network were handed over to abc TV station.
But no matter what, the "beauty pageant" competition in front of McKenner's company still attracted everyone's attention, and the long team could not see the decline. Hollywood is like a magnet, attracting all young people from all over the United States and even foreign countries who dream of making a name for themselves. Some scouts and magazine photojournalists also took the opportunity to find candidates here, which took a lot of advantage from McKenner's company.
When he decided to shoot this woman's scene, Li Siming was the first to think of Chinese Kung Fu. The Hong Kong martial arts director Chen, who had a good cooperation with Li Siming, was naturally the first candidate. After receiving a call from Li Siming, Director Chen immediately said that he would definitely help, which caused him a lot of losses because he also had many invitations. Hong Kong movies are changing from Kung Fu movies in the Republic of China to urban action movies. Director Chen has long been away from the hard kung fu that people are already bored in action in action design, and looks better, and no one cares whether it is practical or not. Li Siming has been kind to him and has given many creative suggestions to his martial arts director.
However, when he came to Hollywood, he was just trying to help, but he didn't expect that his career would be a different atmosphere here. From then on, McKenner Company has become an ideal place for Hong Kong artists to try out the waters of Hollywood. Li Siming not only "exploited" Hong Kong people, but also received widespread praise. Why not gain both fame and fortune?
Li Siming, who was forced to go to Liangshan, accidentally changed the mode of Hollywood action movies.
"Director Li, I only have one requirement. The actors must undergo 6 hours of training every day!" This is the only requirement of Director Chen. It is very reasonable but a bit difficult. It is easy to find a female star who can "fight" in Hong Kong, but there is no such thing as here. Only through training can the future heroine quickly become a "martial arts master".
"I accept this." Li Siming of course agreed. He just hopes that the beauties who line up for interviews will have a desire to stand out beyond the psychological limit of being able to endure hard training.
The script adaptation was completed by Li Siming alone, and it is not actually called an adaptation. He did not watch the original drama at all, because what Li Siming remembered was the appearance of a future world.
"What is a mobile phone? A mobile phone is a wireless phone that can still call when mobile anytime, anywhere. It is smaller than the palm of your hand and can be kept in your pocket when not in use. Impossible? Have you heard of Finnish mobira talkman mobile phone? But the game is too rough and bulky, not as small and exquisite as me. No matter what, it is impossible, the story takes place in the future world in 2000 AD. You just think it is a science fiction movie and make it according to the sketch I gave. As long as your toy company hand over the samples on time, I will pay!" Li Siming said to a representative of a plastic toy company.
"What is a notebook cuputer? Sir, you may not have learned Chinese well. As the name suggests, it is a computer with a size and style similar to the laptops we usually use for offices. Which company produces products? Oh my God, if you can buy it now, ibm and Apple can already announce their bankruptcy. Otherwise, I will buy a hundred units now and give you ninety-nine units. I still have to waste time talking to you about this? It's a black plastic box slightly larger than a laptop!"
"What are pinhole cameras, DNA fingerprint recognition technology, retinal identity scanning system, and computer network? That's something in the future world. You just think it's a fun toy that has functions. Even if it's done for me, it looks like it's the same as precision instruments. Who will still care about whether it can be used? Is it in line with scientific practice?"
"My actors need some sunglasses, and they don't sell them in the store. That's a big deal. You have to redesign me. Of course, I will put your company's trademark and special sponsorship in the subtitles at the back of the movie. Don't worry, I will definitely let my heroines wear your company's sunglasses. Think about it, what will happen if the beautiful woman with a hot body wears your company's exclusive sunglasses? I'll make you a free advertisement for you, and you'll lose a lot. Okay, that's it, I wish you a prosperous business!"
"Clothing, including small jewelry, is as beautiful as it can be, as novel as it can be, as new as it can be, as sexy as it can be, in short, it is unique and must reflect the best part of a woman's figure. Of course, it must be the best, otherwise what should I invite your company to come here? Don't worry, you will cooperate with me and you will gain both fame and fortune. I am sure that at that time, not only American women who love beauty and fashion will ask about what brand my actors are wearing, but Hollywood stars will also find your company to customize. Where can I find such a good business? I want to change my career and do clothing design. If you are embarrassed to take advantage of me, I will give me a VIP discount card. You should know that there are too many companies like you in Hollywood and Los Angeles! Don't take regret medicine!"
"You are the ronin band? Well, I know you have a good future when I see you. I believe I am right. I have always had a good vision. Have you never heard of it? Hollywood people call me 'Gold Finger'! Don't be nervous, guys, I need you to write a few songs for me, that kind of dynamic and catchy kind. As long as I am satisfied, your money for releasing records will be settled, and you don't have to live in that moldy basement anymore. Everyone will become your fans. All the performance companies are rushing to invite you to hold concerts, so you can just be famous! No, wait for fans to chase you and ask for autographs! Well, I'm sorry, what is the name of your band just now?"
Li Siming felt that he had a generation gap with others and had a thought barrier when communicating. He felt that he was shooting a science fiction movie, just like Lucas' "Star Wars" series, from conception to props, costumes, music, and shooting, everything was captured in one go.
In the eyes of others, this is more like a science fiction film, but Li Siming had an intention. Originally, this beauty instantly knocked down several big men, which was a science fiction story in itself. In the eyes of those knowledgeable people, the high-tech equipment that appeared in the "future world" follows the basic trend of science and is of great scientific reference value, which artificially raises the level of this planned entertainment film. These are industries related to Li Siming's future career.
Of course, Li Siming would not just let it go. He would make the box in the shape of a plastic black notebook with the "microstar" logo, and the "microsoft" picture will appear on the computer "screen", while the close-up of the "anycall" trademark will appear on the mobile phone, making invisible advertisements without any pulling.
"Well, it's both good to make movies and advertise! If I watch this movie again twenty years later, I, Li Siming, deserve to be a genius! The most imaginative person on earth!" Li Siming thought to himself, "By the way, if there are TVs or something, it must be from the Xiangjiang brand! Whoever dares to use it, I will sue him for infringement!"
Li Siming is making plans with the best plans and can be said to be careful.
"Bill? Yes, it's me, Li." Li Siming thought of this and called Seattle, "Listen to my dear friend, I have an interesting plan, but if you need the help of your elite engineers, you will be assured that you will never be too troublesome..."
"Hey, is it Mr. Lucas? It's me, I'm fine!" Li Siming called Industrial Light and Magic again, "The dividends from the last business cycle? Of course I received them. My boss, Mr. Zeng, asked me to thank him in person before returning to Hong Kong. Without your hard work, there is no money to divide. Our principle is still as always, not participating in management, just waiting to collect money. That thing? We are men, and men sit in Rocky Mountain, and when they stand up, they are the Himalayas, and their minds are wider than the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean. We don't care about women. I have something to ask you, I need a group of special effects personnel, yes, I am also looking forward to it. The group of people you filmed in "Star Wars" is the best, of course you must be the smartest and most capable..."
"Well, I'm really looking forward to it!" Li Siming put down the phone and was very excited about his "genius".
