After Zhou Yang finished writing the outline of the script for "Spider-Man", he read it several times.
When he seriously reflected again, he realized that it was definitely impossible to copy everything from "Spider-Man".
The original world of "Spider-Man" is full of Western individualistic ideology. Especially when Spider-Man is swinging on a spider web, the old American Statue of Liberty often appears in the background, and at the same time, various background music and various background music are used subtly.
The output of consciousness depicts a rich, democratic, and prosperous old America...
Just like other Hollywood movies.
In fact, for a long time, after watching those so-called old-American blockbusters, I would unconsciously be confused by the old-American beauty depicted in the movies. There were even many beautiful people around Zhou Yang, and he thought about it every day if he was born.
In the United States, how happy you would be if you had an American green card. Moreover, on various social platforms, people talk about how wonderful the old Americans are, and they dream of marrying an old American uncle...
The theory of American sweetness is probably a product of it.
It was not until an unprecedented disaster broke out in the world in 2019 that everyone realized the corruption beneath the prosperous surface.
It is full of discrimination, ugliness, division and unequal class.
Zhou Yang continued to look at the outline of "Spider-Man" and fell into deep reflection.
There is no doubt that the main plot of "Spider-Man" is okay. It has proved the amazing IP value of this movie in the original world, and unlike the superheroes in this world, the superheroes in this world are still positioned as either
They are rich people, such as the comic book "American Soldier" that Zhou Yang found in this world, or they are of aristocratic origin such as "Superman". Everyone's definition of saving the world is that special group of high-ranking people, which has always been the case.
There is no small person in the common class.
If the main plot remains unchanged, how can we separate the old American ideology of "Spider-Man" itself?
Zhou Yang suddenly thought of one thing. There were many unreasonable things in the original version of "Spider-Man". That is, after the protagonist was bitten, he instantly learned various fighting skills?
Superman's agility and speed are no problem against ordinary people, but how can he defeat the "Green Goblin" who also has superpowers, high-tech assistance, and wears armor?
Zhou Yang still vividly remembers the scene where Spider-Man suddenly made a comeback and was stabbed to death by his own aircraft.
Zhou Yang remembered that the blade of the aircraft penetrated the wall through the Green Goblin's armor in the camera lens!
This amazing power and speed. Spider-Man can dodge it, but the Green Goblin can't?
You can understand that the Green Goblin was negligent and did not expect Spider-Man to dodge. But even if Spider-Man did not dodge and was stabbed to death, the aircraft would still use inertia and stab Spider-Man to death and the Green Goblin at the same time, right? At that time, the Green Goblin
What the hell is standing...
In order to promote that justice will eventually defeat evil, why should we not consider rationality?
And how can a mutated ordinary student defeat a mutated human being armed with all kinds of modern weapons?
Being provoked by the villain for a few words, and then suddenly bursting into anger, this is the norm in many comics, but it is unreasonable, and it is really unreasonable.
"In order to achieve a balance between the fighting power of Spider-Man and the Green Goblin, it is most reasonable to give Spider-Man a kung fu, and there is a move in Chinese Kung Fu called "beating an ox across a mountain", which can just penetrate the one worn by the Green Goblin.
Armor, now there is a slight hope of winning. Otherwise, how can we fight? The two of them are not at the same level at all. Bragging also needs to be reasonable, right? Moreover, even if it gives you power and endless reaction capabilities, but
You have not been professionally trained. If you suddenly do all kinds of difficult movements, won't you flash to your waist? This is so unreasonable!" When Zhou Yang thought of this, he nodded silently: "As long as it does not affect the main plot.
, it is really reasonable to give Spider-Man a Chinese master and give him some help after Spider-Man has experienced setbacks!"
Zhou Yang nodded.
Then I started thinking about it again.
"Where should the Chinese master appear?"
"Chinatown?"
"It's more reasonable on ordinary streets..."
"What is his identity? He should be a doctor. He is calm and ordinary, but not mediocre. He should be an elegant and easy-going old man with a compassionate heart. He often helps the poor and homeless people at the bottom of the society in Laos and the United States.
They hope that this will reflect the current situation and realistic culture of Lao American society from a side perspective..."
"The encounter between him and the protagonist... was when a group of gangsters went to an old American shopping mall to "buy for zero dollars", and then the gangsters robbed his car. When they were about to take action, they met the protagonist, and the protagonist gave him a lesson.
This gang of gangsters gave a meal. This was their first encounter. Later, the protagonist was defeated and seriously injured after encountering the Green Goblin. After escaping and falling into a coma, he met an old man. The old man took him home and saved him with traditional Chinese medicine..."
"There are often some homeless people in the homes of the elderly. Those are too poor and cannot accept the expensive medical system in the old American society. Especially some African-American brothers. After being severely discriminated against, they have no choice but to seek help in order to survive.
American……"
"This is the current situation in America. Movies cannot just shoot the prosperity of America. It is reasonable and meaningful to shoot the dark places that others cannot see..."
"..."
When Zhou Yang thought of this, he nodded silently, and then based on the main plot of "Spider-Man", he deleted some unnecessary plots and inserted the plot of the master of "Spider-Man".
Zhou Yang planned that the number and time of the old man's appearance should be within ten minutes, so that it would not affect the main plot and senses.
After inserting the plot of the old man's appearance, Zhou Yang checked the written content very carefully. When he felt that the plot he inserted was not too abrupt, he nodded with satisfaction.
After making the changes, he rubbed his tired head and finally put the script aside.
"Dongdong."
"Come in……"
Zhou Yang looked at the time.
It's early morning now.
Zhou Yang saw Wang Jing walking in from outside, bringing a report.
"Mr. Zhou, I asked an acquaintance to ask about "Spider-Man" over there in the United States, but no one there has heard of this thing at all. I also asked someone to ask about "Spider-Man" in the Copyright Department in the United States, and they said
No one has registered the name "Spider-Man", and there are no similar superhero movies. We can register it..." Wang Jing handed the report to Zhou Yang.
"Well, that's good." When Zhou Yang heard this, he was completely relieved.
Before making "Spider-Man", he considered the copyright issue, but he decided to make it after finding no relevant comics or works on the Internet. Now he has no worries at all.
He plans to register the copyright of this script in both Lao America and China.
"Do you really want to make this next movie, Spider-Man? With China's current film industry system, it is difficult to make such a movie..."
"Can I contact overseas?"
"Yes, but the cost of special effects is very high. You may lose everything when making this movie. I understand your emotions very well, but now you are the leader of the entire company and control the future direction of the company. Sometimes you have to think about things.
Be more comprehensive..."
"..."
When Zhou Yang heard this, he instantly fell into a long silence.
China Star's current asset status is quite embarrassing, and it will definitely not be able to support the "Spider-Man" project. If the movie is simplified, it will not be able to produce the effect it wants.
Although the return of "Spider-Man" in the original world is very high, the amount of his investment is not low...
It seems that the investment exceeded 100 million?
Zhou Yang has only been in this industry for a year. Although he knows some of the ins and outs of this industry, cost estimation is still out of control.
He is sure that he can shoot more cheaply, and he is not sure that he can get such a large investment from investors. He is even less sure that he can save money and at the same time, shoot better than the original version...
The sudden span is really too big.
"Sister, help me register the copyright in Lao America and China first..."
"OK."
Wang Jing nodded, then turned and left.
After Wang Jing left, Zhou Yang silently looked at the script of "Spider-Man" for a long time and finally stuffed the script into a drawer.
The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.
He was a little disappointed.
But this disappointment did not last long.
It's just that it's difficult to achieve a blockbuster movie like "Spider-Man" at this stage, but it doesn't mean that there is no other way at this stage...
"Spider-Man" can't be filmed for the time being. Can we practice on other low-cost movies with a slightly higher return rate? Wait until the box office is almost done, and then...
for example……
Some restricted level?
etc!
I don’t know why, but the first thing that came to Zhou Yang’s mind was a series of movies with a very small production cost, but very bloody!
After thinking about this movie, he found that his mind was filled with the plot of the movie, and he couldn't get it out of his mind no matter what.
At this moment, the company's phone rang.
Zhou Yang received a call.
The call was from Christian. On the phone, Christian's voice was hesitant.
After Zhou Yang listened to the translation, he realized that his previously decided role as a cannibal doctor had been snatched away by another British nobleman named Anthony.
Christian felt that the old man had more of an ogre's temperament, especially his sense of nobility, and Anthony fit him better.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou Yang. It's not that you are not good enough, but that there are better candidates. The main reason is that you are too young. If you were ten years older, you would be just right..." Christian kept talking on the phone.
Saying various apologetic sounds.
Zhou Yang, on the other hand, remained silent.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, we will give you corresponding compensation according to the contract, don't worry..." Christian seemed very sincere, but also a little guilty.
"Mr. Christian, I don't need compensation!" Zhou Yang shook his head after being silent for a long time.
"That……"
"Christian, I want to make a small-budget movie. This movie may be a little bloody. Of course, the shooting time will not be long. I believe you are ready for all aspects of the shooting of Lamb, right? I want to borrow some
Can the props of "Lamb" be shot simultaneously with you?"
"Ah? How long will it take for the filming to end?"
