"Mr. Liu, this storyline seems to be very similar to Hamlet!"
However, Ye Jinsheng, a cultural man, heard a hint of the secret.
"By the way, Brother Ye is really knowledgeable and talented. Yes, this story comes from Hamlet. I just came up with it!"
Now Liu Lang's expression doesn't change even when he talks lies.
"It's amazing, it's amazing! Mr. Liu actually has such in-depth research on drama, I admire him, I admire him!"
Lin Guodong on the side couldn't help but admire, and Chengxian nodded repeatedly. The two of them are Liu Lang's loyal disciples, so naturally they have to flatter each other at this opportunity.
"Jimmy, it seems that you have not wasted your time in China these past few years! You even studied Shakespeare. Could it be that you want to write a play?"
Lucas asked.
"I don't have that much free time, so I just write and draw!"
"Then you can't just write this one work in the past three years, right? Is there anything else?"
Liu Lang is a treasure house, and he must be squeezed dry.
"Of course I do. I also wrote a script. Take a look!"
Liu Lang signaled to the assistant next to him, who immediately took out a thick script and placed it on the table.
Everyone hurriedly gathered together and saw that the title of the script was "True Lies".
In a previous life, "True Lies" was a science fiction movie shot in 1994, with a global box office of over US$500 million.
This movie was still released in China and earned 100 million yuan at the box office, setting a box office record for a Hollywood blockbuster after it entered the Chinese market. Liu Lang saw this movie in the cinema and it left a deep impression on him.
, but I’m afraid this record will not fall on “True Lies” in this life.
"Forrest Gump" was introduced to China two months ago, and within two months it earned RMB 150 million at the box office. What attracts Chinese fans most about "Forrest Gump" is not the interesting plot, but the fact that it contains
Chinese elements, especially Liu Lang’s inspiration to the male protagonist, allowing him to find the true meaning of life. In addition, there are a lot of elements in the movie
The scene of the Forbidden City appeared, and the photographer's lens captured the beauty of this long-standing palace, especially the palace in the morning sun, which symbolized the soaring China.
movie boom, and finally earned a box office of 150 million yuan, more than 20 million US dollars, which is not a lot.
"True Lies" is a movie that focuses on special effects and has achieved great success in special effects, but the plot is also outstanding, especially the humorous dialogues that are impressive.
Liu Lang also introduced the plot of the movie to everyone, and also made sketches on some special effects processing.
The reason why I only drew sketches is because this is a purely commercial film with no profound connotation. As long as the content in the script is presented, it will be fine. The sketches are just to highlight certain climax moments. In addition,
Determine the image of the protagonist.
"Jimmy, your protagonist looks familiar. It seems... very similar to that burly Schwarzenegger in "The Terminator"!"
Lucas pointed at the hero and said.
"George, you are right again, the hero of this movie is none other than Schwarzenegger!"
Liu Lang nodded.
The most impressive thing about Schwarzenegger is his figure. There is not a trace of extra fat on his body, and his muscles are like metal. In recent years, he has starred in James Cameron's "Terminator 1" and "Terminator 2".
He is somewhat famous in Hollywood, but he is far from Tom Hanks. Now he is the most popular candidate for the next Oscar winner.
In his previous life, "True Lies" was played by Schwarzenegger. Of course, a tall and powerful agent is the most suitable.
Lucas and James Cameron are good friends, and their relationship may be better than Lucas and Spielberg. The special effects of "Terminator 1" were produced by Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic, but
That was still 1984, and the technology of Industrial Light and Magic was far from what it is now. Later, Cameron's "The Abyss" and "Terminator 2" were also produced by Industrial Light and Magic. They were both science fiction movies and the pursuit of the future and the unknown.
Make two people like-minded.
"Jimmy, this actor Schwarzenegger has no acting skills and his face is stiff. That's not good!"
Lucas is not very optimistic about Schwarzenegger and somewhat despises Schwarzenegger's acting skills.
But he forgot that he was not much better. How could the actors in Star Wars have the acting skills? They relied entirely on special effects and the construction of the future world. However, after filming "Forrest Gump", he felt that he was suddenly on a higher level.
We should shoot more movies like this in the future, so that they will be more noble...
"George, this movie is a purely commercial film and has nothing to do with acting. The selling points of the movie are the special effects, tense plot and dialogue. After all, the script of a movie like "Forrest Gump" is difficult to get right!"
"It's difficult for others to do it, but can it be difficult for you Jimmy? I also want to make another movie of the same type. If I can win two Oscars for Best Director, I can directly enter the Hall of Fame."
Lucas's ambitions have expanded and he wants to win two Best Director Oscars. He is really "insatiable".
In fact, this is what Liu Lang is "used to". Lucas's role in this movie is very small. If the whole movie is one hundred points, he is worth twenty points or less. Liu Lang is not just a writer.
He wrote the script and drew the shots in detail. He was worth more than fifty points. The remaining points were for the male lead Tom Hanks, and he was also appointed by Liu Lang, but Lucas didn't care.
, Liu Lang divided the scenes for him, which happened in China. Except for his assistant, few people knew about it, and Liu Lang would not point it out. So he is the only director of this movie. The movie was a huge success after three months of release.
All kinds of honors came one after another, and Lucas's ears were almost filled with those kind words. Even he thought he was that good.
Liu Lang chuckled when he heard you.
"We'll talk about it later. I'll give it to you when there's a suitable script. However, I think James Cameron can direct this "True Lies". I believe he will be interested!"
This movie was directed by Cameron in his previous life. In this life, Liu Lang thought it would be best to let him do it, but four years in advance.
"James! That's fine. I think he's suitable, but it's said that this guy went fishing in the Pacific. I'll try to contact him. There should be no problem!"
Lucas also felt that this script was very suitable for James Cameron's direction. The two were good friends and he could invite each other, and he also believed that Cameron would also like the script.
