Chapter 325 Biography and Prequel

United States, Rainbow International Branch.

The script about the death squad is in hot processing. Although the script has not been finally formed, the classic scenes in it shocked Tailong and everyone else, and he admired Ye Zhiqiu to the extreme.

At the same time, they have also strengthened their confidence, believing that the Expendables will become a classic series of films, making the four of them brilliant again.

The ten years Ye Zhiqiu said is not a dream, and the four people have settled down a lot. If they succeed, then the four people are indeed worthy of Ye Zhiqiu's trust, worthy of the high remuneration of 50 million yuan.

The fixed members of the death squad are five, which are connected by different stories. That is to say, the protagonists are five, which is very different for 99% of the films, because it is impossible to find five people to be the protagonists in any film. One must be the real protagonist and the others are supporting roles.

In fact, the same is true of the death squad, just because of the identity of the four Tailongs, coupled with Ye Zhiqiu's statement that he is now facing forward, he is the only young man among the five, and he also has great appeal. Therefore, the five people looked at it, but they were equal and regarded by the outside world as a film with multiple protagonists.

Such a film is a great challenge to the script first of all, because the more protagonists, the more branches there are, and the more complicated and more difficult it is to perform. It is even possible that four successes and one failure will have a great impact, so the film is extremely difficult.

Although there have been many starring movies in the past hundred years, few have been successful, so now, such films almost no longer appear.

Even if it appears occasionally, it is a sneaking change of concept. It is impossible for a master and several matches to have the same role.

In fact, to put it bluntly, such a film is also simple. At most, a few people gather together to perform together. At the end of the film, each person's role is quite a little bit, and it seems that outsiders can't find a big problem.

There is the foundation of the original film The Expendables. Ye Zhiqiu wants to create the Expendables series. Naturally, there is a foundation. Coupled with the 007 series and other wonderful movies, all the wonderful movies will be selected. Everyone will be added with a sideline, various plots and big scenes, and then the others will be integrated.

In this way, each film is mainly composed of one person, assisted by the other four people, and other people appear in a flowing way, participating in the performance of supporting roles, or the performance of bad people, can also perfectly create a super series of blockbusters.

The first part is under the instruction of Ye Zhiqiu, with Tailong as the main protagonist, Arnold as the important partner, Yunton and Jason as the important team members, and Ye Zhiqiu chose to join in the later stage in the form of a storyline.

As for the second part, Arnold is the protagonist, Jason is the main partner, and Tyron, Yunton and Ye Zhiqiu are the Iron Triangle.

The third part features Yunton and Jason as the protagonists, and the others as partners.

The fourth part is with Ye Zhiqiu as the protagonist, assisted by four people.

In such a way, all five of them are the protagonists. Even if there are fewer scenes occasionally, the next one will be made up.

At the same time, Nicholas, Tonis, Liu Tianle, Michael, and Rainbow International's movie queens will enter the rivals and perform this blockbuster.

Another point is very important to Ye Zhiqiu. He has identified his name in the death squad as Smith. With this name, he wants to introduce himself and Qin Luan into the death squad.

For this reason, in the first death squad, Ye Zhiqiu will appear in the middle of the film and then join the team of the death squad. The Smiths's film, which Ye Zhiqiu has always wanted to shoot, will also be a prequel to Ye Zhiqiu's joining the death squad.

This can't be said to be a perfect composition. The Smiths are originally a wonderful film, in which they have a detailed explanation of the identities of the two protagonists. When the Expendables were released, Ye Zhiqiu launched the Smiths again. and his wife. At that time, not only will the box office sales will also have a greater influence, and even be expected to enter. It is also possible to enter the Golden Pavilion.

Of course, with Ye Zhiqiu joining the shooting of the iron-blooded battlefield, as well as the bodyguards, Terminator and other films, even if he can't get in in a year or two, he will enter the Golden Pavilion after the release of the three films such as Bodyguards, the Expendables and the Terminator.

If it really doesn't work, it can only wait until after the release of the Iron-blooded Battlefield. I believe that with the influence of the Iron-blooded Battlefield, people all over the world know him, and I'm afraid there is no reason to refuse him to enter.

At the same time, Ye Zhiqiu naturally wants to maximize his interests. Even if many classic plots from 007 are not fully used by the death squad, he also want to create a film like the Smiths. As a prequel to one of the characters of the death squad, he will create a death squad subsidiary for the four Tailong. Prequel. Strive to turn the death squad into a giant.

Four kung fu superstars and four iron men in the Golden Pavilion, as long as they can completely stimulate their reputation, they can make a profit separately.

Just like Street Fighter and the King of Fighters, there is a universal version and a subsidiary version of various countries.

The main plot of the Expendables is similar to the universal version of the world, while Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the personal version of Tyron, the personal version of Arnold, etc. are affiliated versions of various countries.

In this way, it not only shares the high salary of the cast of the Expendables, but also adds the increasingly large actors of Rainbow International, so as to quickly create world-class stars.

I have to say that Ye Zhiqiu's idea is beautiful, and he also has the strength to do such a thing. With the existence of four iron men, the handsome men and beautiful women of Rainbow International will be split into it. Although the lineup is not stronger than the mainstream version of the death squad, with the help of the name of the death squad, it will certainly not be much worse.

Therefore, in the Rainbow International Branch at this moment. Tyrone, Arnold, Yunton and Jason were all extremely excited. Originally, they were still thinking of quickly creating a death squad series and then starting shooting immediately, but when they received Ye Zhiqiu's design of the four people, they told the four people that if the main version of the death squad was successful, everything else would be carried out one after another. In this way, the four people watched more and more.

They all took the 007 classic plot given by Ye Zhiqiu and chose what they liked to add to their own personal version.

This caused an argument. Of course, this was a well-intentioned argument, but although there was no malice, the four people also made red-faced and inseparable, and in the end, none of them got any benefits.

The four people are not fools. On the basis of knowing that the death squads will definitely be popular and shock the whole world, in the subsidiary version, it is natural to enrich and more wonderful their roles. Only in this way can their popularity be greatly increased. Countless audiences agree even more. This even has a great impact on the follow-up episodes of the Expendables and the future arrangement of Ye Zhiqiu for the four.

No wonder the four people were so serious. In the end, even the whole screenwriter team encountered strong interference, making the work unable to proceed normally. In the end, the matter had to be reported to Ye Zhiqiu. After learning the details, Ye Zhiqiu was also helpless and had to call a few people. The four of them were divided into four groups, each of whom has the right to create a prequel of the death squad, but the premise must be in the case of the wonderful plot of the theme of the death squad, otherwise if the main body of the death squad fails In other words, their version is bound to fail.

At the same time, Ye Zhiqiu assured the four people that no matter what the impact of the personal version of the four people, what the reputation is, or what the box office is, Ye Zhiqiu will not be used as a reference, but will give the four people fair opportunities and equal treatment.

In this way, the four people are relieved, because Ye Zhiqiu has completely shown that his view of the four people is fair treatment, and no one is superior to the other, but the task assigned by Ye Zhiqiu has to make the four people start to pay attention to it.

Because Ye Zhiqiu clearly told the four people that if every box office of the death squad had a certain box office all over the world, then Ye Zhiqiu promised them to open a separate play for each person. If there is one that does not meet the requirements, then they may only have this death squad play this year. As for whether there are other plays, they will wait for the opportunity.

In order to make more scenes, more wonderful scenes, and make themselves more brilliant, the four of them had to work together.

Because Ye Zhiqiu made it clear, because the first investment is close to 1 billion, the minimum requirement given by Ye Zhiqiu is that the global box office must reach more than 4 billion. If so, then each of them has the opportunity to start a personal play with an investment of 200 million to 300 million, or even more.

As for the box office of the second part, it should be based on the box office of the first part and the investment of the second part. It may be 5 billion or 6 billion, which is not for sure.

That is to say, how brilliant they can be in the future is entirely up to them. Ye Zhiqiu opened the door for them, and the money was put there, and countless classic ideas were put there. They could fight for it by themselves.

Undoubtedly, Ye Zhiqiu's words have achieved great results. Whether it is Tailong, Arnold, or the other two, they are people who are not willing to be lonely. They can have such an opportunity. In the case of a salary of 50 million, they strive for it, cooperate with each other, and use almost all their methods to And all kinds of ideas.

In order to make the script of the death squad perfect, it became popular, and made the whole Golden Pavilion a sensation, the four of them simply racked their brains.

When this matter spread to the senior officials of Rainbow International, all the senior officials were speechless. I'm afraid Ye Zhiqiu was the only one who could use the four Jinzun Pavilion brands like this. Even Lu Zhishu was deeply impressed. Although he has an absolute reputation, he doesn't have the unimaginable brain like Ye Zhiqiu. He can come up with countless wonderful ideas at will. He doesn't.

Since there is no, I can only stare, and I can only admire it.

Fortunately, Lu Zhishu got the Lord of the Rings script. At the same time, he realized that the older he was and the more energy was, the more he was able to get the two epics of Iron-blooded Battlefield and the Lord of the Rings in his later years. He was still very happy.

At the same time, he has also made arrangements for his granddaughter Lu Qianqian. I believe that when he retires after shooting The Lord of the Rings, Lu Qianqian may have become an international superstar.

China, Rainbow International.

The deadly angel of the beauty was approved, and also received some suggestions and modifications from Ye Zhiqiu. What made her more happy was that Ye Zhiqiu saw her ambition and gave a high affirmation. She removed the name of the deadly angel and changed the name of the church angel.

She is a smart person, otherwise she would not have achieved the current achievements. Although Ye Zhiqiu did not tell her anything clearly, she was told a little bit from the name of this church angel, some plots and settings modified by Ye Zhiqiu, and some background suggestions.

That is, if the first part can succeed, Ye Zhiqiu doesn't mind realizing her dream and even makes this church angel into a big series.

She was extremely happy to get Ye Zhiqiu's affirmation, which proved that her script was absolutely wonderful. Although Ji Wenhao, Xiao Pingting and others had read it before and gave a very high affirmation. Even Grandpa Zhou Mutai and Lu Zhishu, the international director, had read it and gave a very high evaluation, but For her, what she cares about is Ye Zhiqiu's opinion and affirmation.

In the process of studying Ye Zhiqiu's various movies for more than three years, Ye Zhiqiu's talent has already surprised her, shocked her countless times, and is regarded by her as an insurmountable object. Otherwise, she is arrogant and doesn't pay attention to anyone. Even her grandfather Zhou Mutai just admires her. Under such circumstances, how can she worship a person and be in a hurry to make a person agree?

It is because the more she studies, the more she thinks that the more unpredictable it is, as if Ye Zhiqiu is a bottomless hole. She has fallen deeply into it and can't extricate herself.

Therefore, Ye Zhiqiu's approval made her extremely happy.

Although she did not see Ye Zhiqiu, which made her feel very sorry, she knew that when Ye Zhiqiu finished the shooting of the bodyguard and returned to the iron-blooded battlefield crew, she had plenty of time to consult Ye Zhiqiu.

"Hey, Sasha, you and Tiantian will come to Rainbow International these two days." On the phone, the beauty said calmly, which was her usual tone.

The opposite side was stunned at first, and then immediately shouted excitedly, "Sister Hongyan, has your deadly angel passed the audit?"

Hongyan nodded, hummed, and then there was a more excited scream from the opposite side, and Hongyan couldn't help smiling.

Ye Zhiqiu can help her friends get to the point where she is now. Although she is not as capable as Ye Zhiqiu, she can help several good sisters take the first few steps, build a good platform for them, and lead them into the wider sky.

"Woo-woo, Sister Hongyan, you're so kind..." Shasha on the opposite side said and cried. She was really a girl with rich feelings and simple thoughts.

The beauty had no choice but to comfort her in turn, and the call ended after a while.

"With Sasha and Tiantian, it's not bad. They still need some famous actors to accompany them. I don't know if they are willing or not."

If it is to play a supporting role in a well-known director's crew, perhaps many actors are very happy and are even willing to make a guest appearance, but to play a supporting role for a new director with little reputation as Hongyan, and also to accompany a few newcomers with no acting experience. I'm afraid no one will agree at all.

With the current development momentum of Rainbow International, not to mention Liu Tianle, Mei Fanghua, Lin Waner, Zhen Ni, Ding Nishan, Huang Sheng and Zeng Weijiang, she dares not think about the group of top movie queens. Even Mu Xiaoyu, Xuanxuan, Han Jiangli, Huang Rong, Hu Qiu and Fang Zhongyong, who are today's Asian superstars, she dare not imagine.

These two groups of people are almost the pillars of today's Rainbow International. With their participation in various films, they have a great reputation in Asia. People like Mu Xiaoyu, Xuanxuan and others have stepped into the ranks of the top actors in Asia. Not to mention Liu Tianle, Cheng Kailong, Lin Wan'er and other superstars who have successfully entered the international perspective.

Therefore, she can only focus on the lower group of people.

It's definitely not good to make TV series. After several expansions, the old actors of Rainbow International have basically stepped into the ranks of movies. Now it is a huge new group that supports the Rainbow International TV portal.

Because there are too many movie talents on it, many of them don't dare to have a good time, so it's impossible to rise in one step now. Unless there are director friends like Hongyan who deliberately cultivate them, they can only start from scratch, be recognized by the audience little by little, occupy the market little by little, and then enter the film market.

Fortunately, Rainbow International's business volume is huge now, and the number of directors has increased greatly, except for Ye Zhiqiu, Lu Zhishu and Ji Wenhao, who are standing at the top.

The second ranks below are the old directors of the former Qingyu International and Hongye Entertainment, represented by Fang Zhongqing. Almost all of them are now in the film and have begun to shoot wonderful scripts created by Rainbow International over the years.

As for those movie scripts that are brushed and have little value, they are adapted into wonderful TV series, and then the new director will shoot them on the handheld.

If there is a better script, it will be sold to the entertainment guild at different prices, which is also what entertainment groups at the boss level often do.

In the next month, the church angel began pre-preparation and actor selection.

I don't know whether the senior management of Rainbow International intended it or for other reasons, the identity of the beauty was clearly identified, followed by Zhou Mutai's prestige, and the angel of the church became popular before shooting. In addition, there was news that the script of the Holy Angel was approved and modified by Ye Zhiqiu. For a while, it was extremely hot. Even many second-line directors of Rainbow International came to the door one after another, which made the beauty happy for a while.

What surprised her was that her grandfather Zhou Mutai's name did not cause much reaction in Rainbow International. Instead, after the actors learned that Ye Zhiqiu had revised her script, they came to her one after another. Only then did she deeply realize that Ye Zhiqiu's influence in Rainbow International was so horrible.
