Chapter 1191 (1/2)
”I took the time to watch some youth movies on the weekend. Frankly, there is nothing that can make my eyes shine. Maybe I don't watch enough, but I don't have more time. So, Denny, I'll come by myself. Have you seen Bill Murray's Groundhog Day a few years ago?”
In the conference room, Denny Morris, President of new world pictures, nodded: ”of course.”
Simon then said: ”we can make a youth horror film similar to groundhog day. A girl is chased by a perverted murderer. Every time she dies, she will return to the morning of that day. Finally, in order to get rid of this cycle, she has to find out the murderer.”
After listening to Simon's general idea of happy Deathday, Denny Morris has to admire his boss's idea.
This is a very simple idea, not even an innovation. It just applies the classic story structure of Groundhog Day to the horror film of youth. However, it is undeniable that it is absolutely full of gimmicks.
Because no one did it.
As for whether anyone has thought of it, the probability may be very high.
After all, there is no lack of creativity in Hollywood. The problem lies in which movies Hollywood makes. The decision-making power is limited to a few people at the top of the pyramid. After all, these people have limited time and energy, and even have their own personal preferences and prejudices. Therefore, most of the creativity can not be realized.
Simon finished thinking and spent about 10 minutes discussing some details with Denny Morris according to the plot of happy deathbed in his memory. Then he said, ”second, this is a spoof youth film planning. Take our original” scream ”as the template, plus some popular horror films in recent years, as well as hot current affairs topics, find a group of people Handsome men and beautiful women, do a step similar to the original ”anti fight Eagle” as a spoof movie
This is, of course, jingshengjianxiao.
Denny Morris immediately understood the production idea of ”scream” when he heard ”anti Eagle”, but he hesitated this time: ”Simon,” scream ”is one of our hands. Well, according to what you often use, is it appropriate to make a spoof of the top IP?”
Simon said with a smile: ”Denny, a little more self mockery. Besides, it's going to be a hodgepodge popcorn movie that people will forget when they see it. We're not going to develop a sequel to scream in the near future. It's no problem.”
Since his boss said that, naturally, Denny Morris has no problem.
So it was a detailed discussion.
After finishing these two projects, Simon added: ”there is another one, I just gave Tom the responsibility of” song and dance youth ”. In fact, it is also a youth film, but because it is a very healthy grade g, new world film industry is not suitable, but this does not mean that new world film industry can not make song and dance films, and it can be made into grade r completely.” six heroes of the pig ”is a good template Do you want to spread out for yourself first
Denny Morris thought a little bit, ”Simon, you mean, make a real stripper movie?”
”That's right.” Simon said: ”this should not be a youth film. It's mainly for young women, so we must find some young and handsome actors. The story template is the 20-year-old version of the six heroes of the pig.”
Simon is talking about magic Mike in his memory this time.
Steven Soderberg directed Chanin Tatum starred in the male dancer type film, which once won more than 160 million US dollars in the global box office at a low cost of 7 million US dollars, and the plot is roughly a young version of ”six heroes of the pig”, and even another translation is called ”six heroes of the pig”.
After listening to the details of his boss, Denny Morris couldn't help saying, ”Simon, this reminds me of Paul van Hoven's” showgirl ”. I don't think it's a good idea?”
”I don't think the story itself is creative,” Simon said. ”So, it's an experimental project, with a budget of no more than $10 million, scheduled for January, February or September. Besides, does Steven Soderberg remember? ”
”Of course, sex, lies and videos.”
Simon, the big butterfly, has completely changed the pattern of Hollywood. Under the big pattern, Steven Soderberg, the golden boy of Hollywood, who once won the Golden Palm because of sex, lies and video, did not win the top honor of Cannes any more, but was sniped by Tiantang cinema at that time.
However, the subsequent ”sex, lies and video” still made a considerable profit at the box office, which made Steven Soderberg popular in Hollywood. Unfortunately, under such a starting point, several films directed by Soderberg in recent years all ended in failure, becoming a flash in the pan in the eyes of many people.
Simon certainly won't forget.
In fact, after sex, lies and videotape, Soderberg also remained silent for the whole 1990s. In the new century, Soderberg accumulated a lot of experience, and continuously launched a large number of popular and popular films, such as never compromise, drug network, Rohan eleven, and later magic Mike, which has remained in the forefront of Hollywood for a long time.
Simon saw that Denny Morris also remembered ”sex, lies and video”, so he didn't need more explanation. He said: ”I think this project, well, it's called” magic Mike ”. The choice of director is more important than the actor. He needs a guy who is good at shooting men. I don't think everyone will deny the original” sex, lies and video ”. Soderberg put Jan MS spade is very attractive”Simon, I agree with that, but Soderberg seems to be better at art.”
