Chapter 463 New Concept



So the matter of declaring sovereignty at MGM was put on hold.

Now, Li Zhenyu has time, but the chairman of the board Kevin is in France, and MGM needs to regain its market share and important cooperation channels in Europe.

Some partners can only be negotiated with big shots like Kevin.

Therefore, the time for the board meeting was postponed again.

"The latest box office of the film has reached 1.17 billion U.S. dollars, and it may eventually break the 1.2 billion U.S. dollar mark."

When talking about the achievements of "Skyfall", every cell in CEO Stephen Cooper's body was cheering.

This was the best news he had heard since he became CEO of MGM.

“This is just the first step. Thanks to the success of the film, the company plans to launch the next one as soon as possible. Do you have any suggestions for the script?

Lee, I have to say here that you are the golden boy of MGM. I can already see the glorious scene of MGM returning to its peak. "

Compared to Stephen Cooper's excitement, Li Zhenyu seemed very calm.

Because right after the huge success of this movie, the sequel "Spectre" was released and it was as bad as shit.

And he did not receive any reward that could improve the situation.

In fact, when everyone was cheering and celebrating, Li Zhenyu was already seriously considering whether to complete the subsequent creations by himself.

Among his many awards, [Creative Talent] gives him the possibility to complete scripts independently.

The "enlightenment" gained from watching so many films is his confidence, and his thorough understanding of the essence of those films should be enough to support him in writing a good script.

With the success of his career and the improvement of his status, Li Zhenyu also developed new confidence.

He believes that he is capable of completing the script this time.

But it still lacks a little inspiration.

'Conflict, innovation. In the original plot, all the villains have low IQs, and walking on the roof is a stupid design.'

'A widow's one-night stand... this is a must, and no amount of complaints can change that.

People are always reluctant to face the dark side of their hearts, but when temptation appears in front of them, they will never refuse it.

However, the fighting scenes between the two must be set up with some preparation. Asking what they are doing as soon as they meet, the physical fight without any reason loses its soul.

If you really want to watch this, just open the browser, why waste money going to the cinema.'

'The most important thing is... as the finale of four films, the reason for the villain is actually due to the lack of fatherly love in his childhood? ? ? '

Li Zhenyu held his forehead and pinched his temples a little uncomfortably. "I really can't think of this reason without having had a cerebral thrombosis for ten years."

Why call it Spectre? It might as well be called 007: The Battle of Brokeback Mountain.

There is also no explanation in the drama about the purpose of the Spectre Party's control of the world. The whole plot seems like a farce caused by a naughty child who is jealous because of his favoritism.

Damn, a spy as big as 007, in the end, only got rid of a mischievous and enlarged version of a naughty kid, a useless naughty kid who had a trump card but didn't use it. He could destroy the world but just couldn't bear to kill him. This slow gay relationship is really too stale.'

Li Zhenyu can say with certainty that all the inspiration for Spectre comes from the previous generation "Skyfall".

One lacks maternal love, the other lacks paternal love.

The only difference is that the object is changed from Mrs. M to 007 himself, and finally all the plots and characteristic elements of the old version of 007 are added into it.

What is composed is "Spectre", a fusion monster that is neither fish nor fowl.

It makes people feel awkward no matter how they look at it, and it even gives them a disgusting feeling as if they are being forced to be fed shit.

The fighting scenes were too weak, so Li Zhenyu decided to hire a new martial arts instructor. He had to take advantage of the Mexican Day of the Dead at the beginning.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t come, we will take the initiative to sell our products to your door.

The choice of the widow is a problem. The actress has already appeared in the previous drama and her acting skills have been well received.

Li Zhenyu felt that she could continue to play the role, but the role of the widow would have to be recast.

Oh, by the way, the tool man at the beginning is not amazing enough.

Even though he was just a tool who brought him in and appeared on the stage for only a few seconds, he should at least show all the charm of a Latino.

Either they are purely slutty, or they are coquettish and coquettish. What's the point of the "anyone can come, no matter what" attitude that is completely in line with the American conditions?

There also needs to be improvements in weapons, and the addition of new weapons should bring the audience the spiritual satisfaction that is unique to 0007.

That kind of, wow, it’s worthy of being 007, the feeling of being so cool has not appeared for a long time.

The rides and car chase scenes also needed to be strengthened. The powerlessness of showing off the new cars in the secret underground base was, to be honest, disappointing.

That's 007, not some Tokyo underground street racer.

What's the old-school way of saying 'It accelerates from zero to 60 in 3.2 seconds and it's bulletproof'?

Never use sentiment as a selling point, especially after this sentiment has been used many times.

The biggest selling point of the 007 series is that it is cool, chic and romantic. It can easily solve major world crises while keeping your hairstyle neat.

If even this selling point is lost, what value does this series have?

Thinking about so many problems to solve, Li Zhenyu started to have a headache again.

"Lee, are you okay?"

After expressing his inner excitement, Stephen Cooper finally realized that something was wrong with him.

His furrowed brows made his heart skip a beat.

"I will re-prepare the script. Also, find a time for me to talk to Sam in person. Also, give me a list of martial arts instructors."

"Okay, do you want to switch?"

Stephen Cooper was a little worried. In his opinion, since the film had achieved good results, the original cast should be used to guarantee box office success.

In this way, even if the film fails in the end, we can still rely on the achievements of the previous one.

At least it can trick a large number of movie fans into going to the cinema, and willingly taking out money from their wallets to pay for their "expectations".

With this guarantee, there should be no problem in making back your investment.

"Cooper."

Li Zhenyu looked at him very seriously and said, "No matter what MGM was like in the past, MGM will not make bad movies after I take over."

Stephen Cooper's expression was extremely serious, and he wondered if he was some damn idealistic artist.

If this is the case, he is leading MGM to slow suicide.

Little did people know that the "bad movie" Li Zhenyu mentioned was money.

He calls all movies that cannot make money "bad movies."
