Chapter 315 The Expendables

The Expendables is an American action film written, directed and acted by Stallone. This is a feast for veterans, treating the scars on the chest as a medal of honor. Even if it is a rude scene and arbitrary logic, it is also to save the "blood surname" that is gradually disappearing today; this is also a film about memories, which reappears the feelings of men. The film pays tribute to action movies, so it brings together a large number of action movie stars. As soon as the film was released, it achieved great success all over the world and set off a wave of the return of traditional action films.

Of course, it can shoot the death squad, which has a lot to do with Stallone's appeal in Hollywood. This also eventually contributed to Jason. Statham, Jet Li, Arnold. More than a dozen famous actors, such as Schwarzenegger, it can be said that the Expendables has attracted global attention since the beginning of the filming. Even if it really doesn't work, it will be relatively guaranteed at the box office.

The appearance of the four tough guys, Tailong and Arnold, made Ye Zhiqiu turn the idea to the four people in turn. With the original death squad series as the foundation, Ye Zhiqiu can completely create a more classic death squad series on this basis, so that these four former Jinzun Pavilion superstars, the tough guys who can't fight again Brilliant once.

Of course, more importantly, Ye Zhiqiu has to prepare for the next ten years. He is already 30 years old. In the ten years of 30 to 40 years old, he needs more people to help him and assist himself, so as to create his glory. No matter what angle he stands, the appearance of these four people is inevitable. However, Ye Zhiqiu thought that he could give the four people ten years of glory, but the four people should also contribute their final value to Ye Zhiqiu in turn.

Before Ye Zhiqiu didn't create a new school of martial arts, the world kung fu movies were very traditional. They took the route of ingenuity and not fancy, and purely determined life and death with strength and size. This has also created the tough, strong and strong Golden Bottle Pavilion superstars such as Tyron, Arnold, Yunton and Jason.

In Jinzun Pavilion, not everyone will have the good luck of four people. In the United States, the Americas, and Europe, fitness is basically commonplace, which is fully popularized by the political axe, and the sports of subsidies are encouraged all year round. Therefore, big guys can be seen everywhere. There are also a lot of big guys among the stars, but there are few people who can really win in the movie.

This is often related to a person's luck, star luck, and the comprehensive surname of the movie he plays. It's not that others can create a superstar, let alone ten tough guys.

Up to now, in the Jinzun Pavilion film industry, the real famous tough men in the older generation are Tyron and Arnold, followed by Yunton and Jason. These two people are now in their fifties and have reached an awkward age, so they are also looking for a way out.

At present, I see that Ye Zhiqiu has successfully entered the most difficult American film market with a Terminator, and the most picky American people have attracted much attention and love, giving Ye Zhiqiu a new generation of tough guys, the king of kung fu and so on.

So the four of them turned their attention to Ye Zhiqiu, and then after reaching a preliminary agreement, after the success of Terminator II again, their plan was finally launched and began to invite Ye Zhiqiu.

I just didn't expect that Ye Zhiqiu would in turn to invite four people. No film company was willing to do such an arrogant and bold move.

Even if four people are valuable, they have entered the edge from the mainstream, and there is not much value at all. If there is no surprise, any movie giant who wants to create four people at the same time needs to face great risks.

The four people also know their embarrassment. It happened that Tailong wrote and directed two series of movies when he was young, which was a great success in Jinzun Pavilion. Although he gradually failed to adapt to the audience's taste because he could not keep up with the market in the later stage, as long as there was a good script, Tailong could be taken down.

So the original idea of the four people was that even if Ye Zhiqiu was not invited, they should get a good script from Ye Zhiqiu. If Ye Zhiqiu's road really doesn't work, then they will give up all ideas, and the four of them will work together to create a script, and then re-face the whole world film market and make the final effort. If they succeed, they will continue to create a sequel. If they fail, they will be at the mercy of fate from then on, return to their own path of fate, do what they should do, and no longer do meaningless toss.

However, I thought that the four of them were the biggest accident, but I didn't expect that Ye Zhiqiu had a bigger accident, which surprised them unexpectedly and even to the extreme.

"Are you serious?" Arnold, who never opened his mouth, opened his mouth. After getting off the position of governor of California, he found that although the past few years had been extremely glorious, it was only in politics. Now that he retired, he found that he was older. There were no investors willing to invest in him. He was no longer worth more money, and he was not even sure how much box office appeal he had.

In addition, let him, who is used to being the protagonist, play a supporting role and keep doing it. This is not what he wants, so he also thinks about the future.

"If you want, you can sign the contract at any time." Ye Zhiqiu did not directly say that I was serious about such meaningless words, but directly said that he signed the contract.

The two looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes. They were really moved by this. With a Terminator, Ye Zhiqiu can turn Tonis, a guy who has been sentenced to death and can't continue to break through the film industry, and become a lucky guy who is now in the limelight and takes over the script. Then it is not impossible for the four former Iron Man superstars to return to the peak. It's impossible for the two of them not to be moved. Even if Yunton and Jason don't come to know the news, I'm afraid they will consider it carefully and even agree directly.

However, even if they want to agree, even if they are out of breath, it is impossible to join with Ye Zhiqiu's words.

What they want is not a simple salary, but a real glory, which is once again recognized by all fans and audiences around the world, because for the four people, they have made enough money and have a lot of wealth. They do not continue to wander for money at all, but for the sake of being lonely and unwilling to be forgotten by the audience and fans. I will think about re-outing the film industry and dedicating the rest of my life to the film.

So they are bound to fight for it, provided that they really want to join Rainbow International.

"If we join Rainbow International, what will you bring us and how long will our deductive life span." Tailong said calmly. Although he was calm, his heart was extremely hot and excited. He was looking forward to Ye Zhiqiu's answer.

Ye Zhiqiu said cautiously, "You two are seniors, and I don't want to lie to you. I will give you ten years of interpretation of life, let the four of you shine again, and continue to let you rise in the field you are best at."

"But I can't guarantee that each of you will be the leading actor, maybe the protagonist, No. 2, No. 3..."

"As for the film remuneration, as long as you dare to gamble, you will sign a ten-year contract with Rainbow International. In this decade, I will give you as much value and appreciation. At the same time, I promise that whether you win or lose, I will let you play enough. Every year, I will arrange at least one film for you to focus on building you, so that you can spend the most wonderful decade..."

The two looked at each other. They didn't expect that Ye Zhiqiu would give them a ten-year interpretation plan, which was equivalent to giving them a new spring.

This kind of column is not common in the whole Jinzun Pavilion and the whole world film industry. If it is one or two people, if it works well, it may be successful, but now that four people come together, Ye Zhiqiu really has such great courage?

The oldest of the four is 61 years old, and the youngest is 54 years old. They will be 70 years old in ten years. At that time, I'm afraid they can't run, and how can they be tough men? At this time, the two even doubt whether they are crazy or Ye Zhiqiu is crazy. Who is more unreliable on both sides, or the three of them are not reliable people, otherwise they are not This will happen. It will happen.

"Are you so confident?" Tyrone was surprised.

"In case of failure, failure, ten years of long contract, you will lose billions..."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "I'm not worried. It seems that there is no need for the two seniors to worry about this."

The two of them were stunned, but the truth was like this. Of course, they laughed.

"I think I should call both Yunton and Jason. Today is a good day. We need to get together here, but I'm really curious. If all four of us join us, how will you build us..."

Seeing that Tailong called, Ye Zhiqiu also remembered the plot of the death squad. Although the plot may not be very wonderful, the screenwriter team in this world is very professional. On this basis, he can let the screenwriter team make the script more classic, the scene bigger, and even make it into a three. Four, or even five or six magnificent masterpieces, made the Expendables into an epic series of mercenaries.

He can even absorb many popular movies that are not suitable for the world, absorb their strengths, apply various classic elements, and integrate them into the death squad to make him a miracle.

At the first time, Ye Zhiqiu thought of the 007 series, which has made more than 20 films so far and is the most successful series of movies. Although he is an agent, Ye Zhiqiu is a director and screenwriter. He dismantled the east wall to make up for the west wall. He changed the concept and used the 007 series to the death squad. At that time, who in the world knows that this is a classic scene in the 007 series, and who dares to think that the death squad can't act like this?

Ye Zhiqiu had a lot of ideas. Seeing that the two had the intention to cooperate and sign a contract, he thought of a lot in an instant. Of course, for him at this moment, in order to integrate into the Golden Pavilion as soon as possible, he must play an important role in the death squad. To this end, he can design the identity background of each member of the death squad. He can be a special forces soldier from various countries, a super agent, a gangster killer, or a legend among mercenaries.

Gather such a group of characters in a series and name it the death squad. On the basis of the original death squad, integrate the wonderful parts of the 007 series to create a new death squad series, and then use the names of several people to explode the Golden Bottle Pavilion.

It can even be used to arrange the actors of Rainbow International to appear one by one to instill the power of Rainbow International in the whole world film market.

This is Ye Zhiqiu's real idea. Of course, if you want to create a wonderful series of scripts, even a series that can last for ten years, more than five or more than five, and even if it can be made into a golden signboard, Tailong and Arnold are old and he can take over. He doesn't want to play anymore. Newcomers can be arranged to continue playing. As long as this golden signboard is created, it is very easy to write a script on this basis.

At that time, it is possible for the death squad girls to appear one by one, and then become the objects worshipped and sought by the world.

The more Ye Zhiqiu thought about it, the more excited he felt, thinking that Rainbow International would have another classic series from now on.

Tyron and Arnold ended the phone calls respectively and told Ye Zhiqiu that Yunton and Jason were coming to Yunzuo, which may arrive in 20 minutes at most. At present, they would like to know if Ye Zhiqiu had any ideas or arrangements for the four people.

To be able to ask such a question, Ye Zhiqiu already knew in his heart that the two had agreed. When the other two came, at most, they would only negotiate together to reach a final agreement. At present, he stopped the thoughts in his heart and began to tell the different plots of the death squad and his own thoughts to the two.

The audience's preferences are always different, but no matter who it is, there are extraordinary plots for blockbusters and action movies.

For countless action fans, if Tyron, Arnold, Yunton, Jason, Ye Zhiqiu can be gathered, and even Nicholas, Liu Tianle, Cheng Kailong, Qin Huan and others can be gathered to star in a movie, this is undoubtedly a dream lineup of movies, and he is bound to become a fan for a long time. Of course, the premise is that the film can be successful. If it doesn't work, I'm afraid it's just abuse and ridicule.

At the present, Ye Zhiqiu talked to the two of them about the death squad.

"This is a comprehensive surname film dominated by firearms and weapons, with different boxing, physical skills and kung fu from all over the world as the root, and always running through high-tech, as well as agents, gangsters, tough guys, beautiful women and other elements. I named them the death squad. In fact, this movie has been thought countless times in my mind, framed by me again and again, and then overturned, but I never wrote the script, because his requirements are too high. If it weren't for the two of you today, I'm afraid I think my idea is just delusional. It can be said that this series of movies is prepared for you, because without you, this movie can't succeed at all.

The two were a little surprised. Ye Zhiqiu said so many elements, whether it was guns, or countless kinds of physical skills in the world, etc., or high-tech, agents, gangsters, tough guys, beautiful women, etc., these are indispensable elements of a wonderful movie. At the same time, it is also a wonderful element necessary for kung fu movies and tough guy movies. Ye Zhiqiu specifically mentioned the two, claiming that the requirements of the film were very high, which made them curious.

In addition, Ye Zhiqiu said a lot, which also let them know that Ye Zhiqiu did not say it casually. Obviously, it was a script that they had thought about for a long time. The two had an in-depth investigation of Ye Zhiqiu. They knew that Ye Zhiqiu's script was very wonderful. It could make Ye Zhiqiu think for so long that your script must be very bad. It's vulgar. At present, they all listen carefully to Ye Zhiqiu talking about the death squad.

"Because this is a mercenary-themed film, a man in life and death, so in my imagination, the film needs real men and old actors with superb acting skills to play. Because of the high requirements, I hope they are all kinds of action actors known to the audience in the film industry. Because of this kind of desire for you, at first, I didn't have a specific idea of who to invite to the film, but I made a long list of about 20 people. I hoped that they could all appear in the movie, but later I found that it was just my own delusion, because my reputation and influence were not enough. He Many of them have withdrawn from the film industry, or are now popular superstars from all over the world. I don't have the ability to bring these people together, so I finally gave up this crazy idea..."

The two were very surprised and inconceivable of Ye Zhiqiu's crazy idea. Although Ye Zhiqiu did not say it too clearly, it was so crazy to gather more than 20 kung fu superstars in a movie. Even the two of them didn't dare to think about it. At most, they just wanted four people in one film. At most, it's enough to add a Ye Zhiqiu and a tough guy film.

Obviously, Ye Zhiqiu shocked the two of them again, thinking about things that they dare not think about.

"But now, I think we have a great opportunity. If the four of you can join Rainbow International, you can make this film into a series of movies. At the same time, with the reputation of the four in the Golden Pavilion and the broad exchanges, you can definitely contact more kung fu superstars and put them in one film. Join in, and then work together to create this series of films, a film that belongs to men..."

The two of them breathed a little quickly. Twenty people were not enough. They even wanted to get all the kung fu stars in Jinzun Pavilion. This was so crazy. If such a film really succeeded, how sensational it would be.

No, such a film alone is probably an extremely horrible amount of money. Take out so much money to invite some outdated actors to create a film. If you are not crazy, you can only be a genius.

In the eyes of the two, Ye Zhiqiu can never be a madman, but sometimes a genius is the same as a madman. In the eyes of the two, Ye Zhiqiu has become a combination of a genius and a madman at this time, because Ye Zhiqiu's madness shocked the two.

But I have to say that Ye Zhiqiu's genius idea also made the two excited, and they couldn't help but want to sign a contract with Ye Zhiqiu at the moment.

I have to say that Ye Zhiqiu's eloquence was very sharp at some time. After the subsequent arrival of Yunton and Jason, Ye Zhiqiu's ridicism actually made the two of them excited. These four superstars, who were 50s and 60 years old, half of their bodies, were like cheated children at this moment. The future is full of expectations, and Ye Zhiqiu is regarded as a confidant who knows him best.

"I have to say that the meaning of such a film alone has surpassed the film itself. Even if the investment is high, in order to look back on the past, fans will enter the cinema to support us. I have to say that first of all, this idea has succeeded." The following Yun Dun highly recognized and evaluated Ye Zhiqiu, and also affirmed what Ye Zhiqiu said about the death squad.

The death squad tells the story of a group of mercenaries who received a special task to infiltrate an island to eradicate the local terrorist forces. When they began to act, the situation suddenly got out of control. Various crises showed that they had fallen into a trap full of deception and betrayal. The action was severely damaged, innocent lives were implicated, and their lives were on the line. At the same time, they also have to face a more dangerous challenge. A secret force is trying to make the whole team evaporate... In the original film, the death squad proved that Stallone, who is in his sixties, is not completely old, and the muscles and figure shown in the film still have a certain appeal.

There are many stars in the film, and almost everyone has their own signboard and their own surname, so Ye Zhiqiu is also interesting to tell the story. In addition, when he has been shooting movies over the years, he has reviewed many classic films, and many classic scenes are deeply remembered in his mind. At present, he almost opens his mouth when talking about it. In each mouth, the classic scene made the four tough superstars of Jinzun Pavilion excited and shocked.

For a while, they praised Ye Zhiqiu very much. They deeply believed that Ye Zhiqiu's success was absolutely inevitable. At the same time, they were also sure that their choice this time was right. If such a crazy film could be successfully created, it would be the most worthwhile experience and rare for any of the four people in life. The scenery.

And at their age, they need to prove themselves again. What they want is the classic script, and what they want is the recognition of the outside audience. Everything else is no longer important. So the more they listened, the more excited they became. Finally, when Ye Zhiqiu finished speaking, the four of them looked at each other and made up their minds and agreed.

Ye Zhiqiu will naturally not let such a thing go back on, or even change. He agreed that the four of them would go to play together in the evening, so that he could continue to talk about the four people's thoughts on joining Rainbow International and whether there were any special requirements.

The four people agreed and happily agreed to go to play in the evening, and Ye Zhiqiu was also greatly relieved and explained to Zi Yuxun beside him, so that Zou Lengfeng and Li Manhua knew that they would prepare the relevant procedures and wait at any time.

Ziyu, who walked out of the private room, was amazed and exclaimed at Ma Xiaolong beside him, "It has once again confirmed that the charm of the head is unparalleled. Don't you want to act in a movie? This is a good opportunity to compete with so many kung fu superstars on the same stage, even if you go in and do an errand..."

Ma Xiaolong nodded excitedly and whispered, "Go back and tell Ye Tou, let Brother Hu, we all go in and play..."
