Chapter 516 Invite the King of Hollywood Horror Movies
Even though he is over fifty.
But James Bunt is still a director with a strong desire for action.
After watching "Time Travel", James Bond's originally calm heart suddenly began to become restless.
The unparalleled special effects struck a chord in his heart.
He suddenly had a great desire to create a world.
The world was gorgeous, wonderful, full of orange clouds and colorful colors.
He wants to be God for a time!
Use special effects to create the kind of "second heaven" that shocks the world.
After this idea appeared, I couldn't suppress it for an instant. I felt that all the cells in my body were trembling, and I couldn't suppress the desire to talk and show off.
He thought of many Hollywood director friends, but for some reason, when he took out his mobile phone and wanted to tell them this idea, he suddenly stopped again. The shadow of a young Chinese man appeared in his mind incredibly, and then this
The shadow became clearer and clearer, and he became more and more hopeful.
His brief exposure to "Jaws" made him keenly aware that this young man's thinking was wild and inspiring. If he chatted with him, there might be some surprises.
then……
I bought a plane to Delaware that day, and flew here with my assistant the next day.
"He's going to shoot a superhero movie in this place?"
"Yes, Mr. Bunter."
"..."
After coming to the set of "Spider-Man" and seeing something completely different from what he thought, James Bunter's face showed shock, and then he felt a little sad.
He had heard rumors...
Zhou Yang has not joined the Directors Guild of America, and at the same time, due to some special reasons, everyone in Hollywood does not want to see him.
In other words, he was banned!
In this era where American movies are dominated by Hollywood, being banned by Hollywood is basically synonymous with ruin.
For a moment, he suddenly felt disgusted with the aloof leaders in Hollywood.
Movies are artistic creations, and artistic creations themselves have no national boundaries, and Zhou Yang just came to Hollywood to make movies. Even though there is a trend of "Saw", this is really too much.
He thought about it, and immediately wanted to find a balance between Zhou Yang and Hollywood, and to mediate it. He even wanted to bring Zhou Yang into the Columbia company he belonged to, but not long after this idea first appeared, he wanted to find a balance between Zhou Yang and Hollywood.
It was temporarily rejected by him.
According to the information, before Zhou Yang left Hollywood, he was actually approached by Fox's relevant personnel, but did not accept it. Combined with some of Zhou Yang's deeds in Delaware, James Bunter understood that Zhou Yang might want to do something.
Most talented artists are paranoid and unruly. Once they commit to something, no one can take it back.
James Bond opened the door and walked into the temporary office of the production crew.
In fact, the crew of "Spider-Man" paid a high price to rent a not-so-good university, and some of the early plots were filmed in this university.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou Yang."
"Hello, Mr. Bunter."
When James Bunter saw Zhou Yang again, he found that this young man had changed a lot.
He started to become a little thin, but his body seemed quite strong. His eyebrows looked quite haggard, but his eyes were full of energy, full of brilliance that could not be concealed, vaguely like a sword.
He smiled casually and asked him to sit down. James Bond found that Zhou Yang's temperament seemed to have changed a lot. When they first met, the other person was more or less reserved with him, which made James feel vaguely uncomfortable.
Bunter felt that Zhou Yang was an amazing junior, but this time they met, the two seemed to be in the same position. When chatting with him, they acted like equal friends.
The two then sat down and chatted.
We didn't talk about our family history, nor anything else unrelated to the movie, nor did we talk about the first encounter or any other pleasantries.
James Bunter directly chatted with him about his thoughts on the "Time Travel" movie. After chatting about his thoughts, he began to talk about his idea of using the most advanced special effects to create a second world.
Zhou Yang nodded while listening, and at the same time, he expressed his views on the movie "Time Travel" without hesitation.
Although some of the content made James Bunter feel a little shallow and not even interesting, James Bunter was still listening.
However, when talking about second world movies, James Bond felt that they were extraordinarily meticulous, so detailed that he was pleasantly surprised.
James Bunt even had a vague illusion.
Zhou Yang seems to be sitting under the screening room, watching this movie...
Even when the conversation about the movie went deeper, he even had an even more ridiculous illusion, that is, Zhou Yang seemed to have come to that wonderful world and lived in that wonderful world.
The surprise gradually turned into astonishment.
The chat between the two parties gradually turned into an ending where Zhou Yang verbally described the world and the story that happened, which made people reflect.
The morning passed quickly.
By noon, James Bunter was even more shocked to see Zhou Yang take out the outline of a script called "Avatar".
The moment he read the introduction, James Bunter stood up immediately and was extremely excited!
"Mr. Zhou Yang, damn it, damn it! This is the movie I want to make. Mr. Zhou Yang, are you a human, an alien, or a monster?"
"Just two seconds ago, I even had the urge to cut open your head with a scalpel to see what was hidden inside!"
"..."
James Bond looked at this young man sitting in a chair with admiration, his expression calm, as calm as a young man without any troubles.
He felt incredible.
Obviously Zhou Yang does not have that deep understanding of science fiction movies like "Time Travel", and seems to have certain knowledge blind spots on some basic movie special effects skills, but when talking about new movies, he speaks clearly!
"Mr. Bunter, as long as you like it."
Facing the praise of a director of James Bunter's caliber, Zhou Yang felt very calm and just nodded.
"Avatar"!
This was the biggest killer in the world back in 2009, a movie that truly changed the film industry revolution.
"I want this script. Mr. Zhou Yang, please give me a price!" James Bunter held a few pages of the "Avatar" script and couldn't put it down for a while.
Zhou Yang was not in a hurry to make an offer, but after a long silence, he looked up at James Bunter: "Mr. Bunter, I can give you this script for free!"
"What?" James Bunter's eyes widened, and he was a little unbelievable for a moment.
Then he calmed down and looked at Zhou Yang with narrowed eyes.
There is no free lunch in the world. Although this Chinese director looks naive, he is not a fool.
"But there is one condition." Zhou Yang looked at James Bond with a smile.
"What conditions?" James Bunter was not surprised, but his expression was extremely serious.
This level of notebooks and settings are given to him for free, and his conditions cannot be low.
"First, I hope you can spare a month or so to serve as a special effects consultant for the movie "Spider-Man"..."
During the chat just now, Zhou Yang realized the shortcomings in his understanding of special effects. He needed help from someone to help him shoot, and at the same time, he could learn more through this.
And James Bunt is undoubtedly the best candidate.
"What about the second one?" James Bunter did not agree or refuse, but asked the second question.
"We, Huaxing, will invest a sum of money in "Avatar". If the producer of this project is our Huaxing Company..." Zhou Yang looked at James Bunter, his eyes full of seriousness.
The office suddenly fell silent.
James Bond lowered the script in his hand slightly.
After a moment, he smiled: "Mr. Zhou Yang, I am currently cooperating with Columbia. I signed a five-year agreement with Columbia. This year is the third year..."
"Does the agreement say that you can't make movies for other companies?"
"Not even Hollywood studios, at least during the contract period..." James Bunt smiled.
"But we are not a Hollywood company, we are a Chinese company, or in other words, an American Chinese branch in Delaware..." Zhou Yang still did not give up, but narrowed his eyes.
James Bunt was silent again.
This is a stealth concept and a loophole.
He lowered his head and thought for a long time.
When Xu Mei knocked on the door and brought lunch in, James Bunter remained silent and did not take the lunch.
Zhou Yang ate on his own.
When lunch was over and Xu Mei put away her things, James Bond sighed.
"There is no problem in being your special effects consultant for "Spider-Man", but the second thing..." James Bunter smiled: "The weight of a script is really not enough... To risk your future for a script is indeed
not worth it……"
"Oh." Zhou Yang probably knew the ending, so he was not surprised and just nodded.
James Bond took a look at the script of "Avatar" and was still reluctant to leave. He finally chose to stand up and follow Zhou Yang to say goodbye.
Zhou Yang also stood up and walked James Bunter some distance away, and then watched James Bunter get into the car.
"Sister Xu Mei... when I was talking about the script of "Avatar" with James Bond just now, the surveillance was on."
"Two surveillance cameras, and they are the most advanced surveillance systems. There is no problem. This is evidence. Even if James Bunter uses his creativity to shoot, it won't work. I have consulted the laws of each state."
"Ah That's good."
You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must have the intention to guard against others.
Although he knew that James Bond would not do these things, Zhou Yang still had to be on guard.
Just when Zhou Yang was about to go back to the office to take a nap and continue filming "Spider-Man" in the afternoon, he suddenly saw James Bunter's car coming back.
"Mr. Bunter?"
"I am willing to give "Spider-Man" a chance. If "Spider-Man" can produce results, I can take the risk!"
He saw James Bunter get out of the car, his face seemed to have made some important decision.
