Hu Shuo took the script he left and read it carefully.
However, he had only read a third of the script when he frowned. The third male lead in the script was called "Chen". According to the script, Chen was a very short professional killer who was addicted to gambling.
Gambling sold his Chinese wife to the red light district...
The setting of this character is somewhat meant to discredit Chinese Americans. In addition, Hu Shuo found that this character actually has very few roles. Although he is the third male lead, there are only so many characters that can be presented in a movie. The focus of this movie is on the male lead.
1. The duel between the first female lead and the second male villain. As for him, the so-called third male lead, he is actually just one of the many younger brothers of the male protagonist.
Strictly speaking, there is no difference between the fourth male, the fifth male, the sixth male... It just sounds more pleasant to say that he is the third male.
Hu Shuo bit the bullet and read the entire script, and then threw the script directly into the trash can.
Because this role is the same as before, that is, a Hollywood-style one-on-one role. The film crew deliberately wrote such a role in order to please the Chinese market. However, it seems that they are not willing to do so, and the setting of the character is even more disgusting.
To put it bluntly, the film studio needs the Chinese market, but they are actually quite repulsive to Chinese actors. They don’t want Chinese actors to have too many roles in their movies. Even if they give you some roles, it will still be smearing. This
Of course Hu Shuo wouldn't take this kind of role!
Through this incident, Hu Shuo discovered that Hollywood is still the same Hollywood, aloof. Even though it covets your market, it refuses to put down its dignity and come to cooperate sincerely.
Under this situation, Hu Shuo felt that he should change his thinking. Since it was difficult to cooperate happily, he might as well just directly import culture, make one or two Hollywood-style blockbusters, and enter the North American market.
Let them take a look at their own strength!
After making a decision in his mind, Hu Shuo immediately picked up the phone on his desk and called Zhang Ying to his office.
"Sister Ying, I need a group of excellent foreign actors. They don't need to be famous, but their acting skills must be excellent. There is no restriction on nationality. It is best if they can sign with our company!"
After Zhang Ying arrived, Hu Shuo immediately put forward his request.
“A group of foreign actors??”
"Mr. Hu, what are you doing??"
Zhang Ying looked suspicious.
"I'm going to make a movie with a foreign background."
With that said, Hu Shuo took out a script from the drawer and handed it over. This was one of several scripts he had written before. Before seeing the script sent by Wang Qi, Wang Hao was still hesitant.
Which one to shoot? Now Hu Shuo has made a decision. He wants to make a masterpiece that will shock Hollywood and even the world!
"Titanic!"
The first thing that caught Zhang Ying's eyes was the name on the script.
"Is this the giant ship that was said to be unsinkable, but ended up being silenced because it hit an iceberg?"
There is also such a tragic history in this time and space, but no filmmakers have filmed its story.
"That's right, it's that giant ship that's said to be unsinkable. I want to make its story into a movie." Hu Shuo replied.
"this……"
Zhang Ying frowned, and then said earnestly: "Mr. Hu, I'm not trying to pour cold water on you. I'm afraid this is very, very difficult. I heard that several film companies in Hollywood have wanted to start similar projects more than once.
The story of the shipwreck of this supposedly unsinkable ship was filmed, but it ran aground due to various reasons..."
"I know! That's why I want to film. This is the script. You go back and read it carefully. I will play the male lead myself. As for the female lead and other roles, you need to find candidates..."
When Hu Shuo wrote the scripts for "Titanic" and several other Hollywood movies, he made some changes to the protagonists. For example, the male protagonist of "Titanic" was changed to a Chinese young man.
This change was also in line with the social situation at that time. Chinese Americans were mostly at the lowest level in Europe and the United States at that time. This was consistent with the original identity setting of the male protagonist.
In addition, in Hu Shuo's version of "Titanic", he also added eight Chinese boiler workers.
On the "Titanic", there were actually eight Chinese, and they were all the lowest-level boiler workers on the giant ship. Moreover, six of these eight people survived.
However, because their survival rate was too high, and because they were all Chinese from the bottom of society at that time, they were ridiculed and slandered by foreign media afterwards.
Some media in Great Britain and the United States even said that they trampled women and children in the fight for lifeboats, and believed that they were not qualified to survive!
These six survivors were also banned from entering the United States in an attempt to erase them from the history of the "Titanic".
It was not until more than a hundred years later that a director from Great Britain shot a documentary about the "Titanic". The name of this documentary was "Six".
In this documentary, the truth about the survival of the Chinese boiler workers is restored. The six Chinese boiler workers who were rescued at that time all obeyed the order and did not escape until the last moment.
Five of them were rescued by riding in lifeboats, while the other one was lying dying on a wooden board and was found by the search and rescue team. His rescue experience was the same as that of the heroine in the movie "Titanic" from another time and space.
In Hu Shuo's version of "Titanic", he specially created a branch line to depict these Chinese boiler workers.
In fact, the original "Titanic" also showed the state of everyone on board when facing this disaster from multiple perspectives and perspectives.
So, as members of the ship, the eight Chinese boiler workers can naturally have their own perspectives.
In another version of time and space, the team that shot "Titanic" was a Hollywood team, and it was still the 1990s when that movie was shot. Hu Shuo's country was not that powerful yet, so those Chinese boilermakers were naturally ignored.
.
And in that version of "Titanic", some nobles of Great Britain and Europe were portrayed as very gentlemen, who could follow justice and let women and children go first even when faced with difficulties.
But in fact, the subsequent documentary clearly stated the situation at that time. Some British and European officials and nobles rushed to the lifeboat as soon as the embarrassment occurred. Later, the guards on the ship fired warning shots and forcibly
After being stopped, they returned to being "gentlemen".
Hu Shuo has written all these small details in his version of "Titanic", striving to restore the most realistic moment of distress.
