"Based on the framework of my outline, I can send similar outlines to several people, and then comprehensively consider their wonderful plots. Can the final quality be guaranteed?" Liu Qingshan explained patiently.
"Who would you choose? Screenwriters from China?" Keitel suddenly asked.
Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "Do you all know those Internet writers who are currently active on the Chinese Internet?"
Seeing that several people were shaking their heads, he explained with a wry smile. Not only was his eloquence sufficient, but his reasons were indeed sufficient. In short, the eyes of several people were getting brighter and brighter, and it was obvious that they had heard some tricks.
Finally, he concluded: "There are now a small number of English versions on the Internet. I suggest you all take a look. Our country has five thousand years of history and civilization, and there is so much to write about. And those scattered folk associations on the Internet There are countless storytellers. Their thinking is wild, their ability to interpret plots is smooth, and their writing is full of wit. This is what I like about them!"
Of course, his words are just an excuse to find a source for his endless supply of scripts.
In fact, his star maker has a huge amount of script resources, and presenting them in this way is something he has wanted to do for a long time.
Moreover, this information is nowhere to be found. With Xiaoxing's current high-tech control methods, it is simply impossible for today's hackers to crack it.
Besides, this grand-sounding project doesn't exist at all, so he won't have to worry about looking forward.
Obviously this project, which was made out of nothing, convinced everyone present.
After all, Liu Qingshan has so many magical symbols on his body that even if what he says has no basis, it will make the listener believe it first.
What's more, the operability of this matter is still very high, but it is far from as simple as they imagined.
However, the large number of real groups of online writers is an objective fact, and this can be easily found online.
Then, their attitudes changed dramatically, and they became more and more inclined to Liu Qingshan's suggestions.
This is because everything he said makes sense and the number of scripts has increased, which means that the season team has a lot more resources at their disposal.
Even if the person who was brought in was willing to collect this information, it would never be possible to find out all the secrets of several shooting teams.
Because even the film crews of other companies will take strict confidentiality measures on relevant information, not targeting a few people, but normal business methods.
Then the topic turned back to the two current scripts, and letting Johnson and Statham join has always been something Liu Qingshan has considered.
Since Martin and the others mentioned this issue today, it means that the film company and management team behind them agree. After all, joining will give them more opportunities to interact with Liu Qingshan's scripts. This is a once-in-a-lifetime major opportunity.
From the beginning of the establishment of the season team, there is no interest involved in the interests of various companies. The company behind the star should take as much as possible. The existence of this team only serves as a bond between each other.
Of course, in the later stages of development, the season team can only gradually invest more and more funds, and the method adopted is also a layer-by-layer penetration method, such as filling those funding gaps.
Slow development in this way will not attract attention, but it will also make the large companies involved in investment willing.
It would be impossible for people to not notice it, but as long as the team members showed no sign of leaving Bada Film Company to go it alone, such a small investment amount would not be noticed.
However, what this team actually accumulated was connections, and what quietly spread was Liu Qingshan's influence.
By the time their ambitions were discovered, their influence had already penetrated deep into the interiors of major film companies as more and more big-name stars joined the company.
Big-name stars are the backbone of their respective companies, so the season team must first attract more and more people.
The problem is that there should be no trace of this kind of wooing. The best way is for the other company to take the initiative. Johnson and Statham are undoubtedly the first two places.
Of course, there are other stars' companies that have similar ideas, but there are secret plans within the season team on how to select people. Raising idle people or introducing pure spies is absolutely not allowed to happen.
So the best candidate would naturally pay more attention to the personal friendship between him and Liu Qingshan. The two people currently meet this condition.
Before this, the attitude of Martin and others was to only pick one, which seemed to be a long-term plan to catch the big fish. This was also because there were too few scripts to benefit more people.
But Liu Qingshan's opinion immediately gained the upper hand, because the villain was his friend and he had more say.
Then his idea of establishing a creative team impressed them.
Especially the latter point, the original reason why five people came together to do things is that a few old friends can have more opportunities to cooperate.
This original intention has now been realized by Liu Qingshan's plan. Of course, they are willing to speed up the pace of expanding their contacts according to his wishes.
Just like the two scripts of "Jumanji" and "The Machinist", the four legendary movie stars have all found roles that suit themselves. While satisfying their addiction to drama, they can also make money with old friends. Isn't it because they have joined forces? The original intention of being together.
Although both films are remakes, the season film collaboration team currently has in-depth cooperation with Bada Film Company, so there is no problem in obtaining the remake rights.
Because the film company to which the film belongs is also waiting for the money to come out of the pot, and the team came up with the script and added it, it just lost some original expenses. The person who suffered the loss was Liu Qingshan, and it had no impact on the team itself.
However, they also know that Liu Qingshan is willing to suffer losses in order to establish his position in the script industry. It seems like a lot of money, but the later accumulation of fame is the goal.
When one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, the cooperation between Liu Qingshan and the film collaboration team will become more and more tacit, which invisibly allows him to gradually occupy an irreplaceable role in the team.
The latter point is actually Martin's ultimate purpose in establishing this team, which is to help Liu Qingshan come to the early stage of Hollywood development so as not to have no foundation. Read the book
As for the entire team falling into the hands of Liu Qingshan in the future, it will require the support of the other four movie stars.
Although Martin did not say it directly to them, the four of them knew it well, and their current active and cooperative attitude proved that they had similar thoughts.
But the scope of this problem is so huge that it is tantamount to attracting a terrible competitor to Hollywood, so even if they know it, no one will take the initiative to say it.
Moreover, the four legendary movie kings have repeatedly proposed to Liu Qingshan that he would go to China to retire after his official retirement. From this point of view, they must have seen every step of Martin's plan.
Neither Martin nor Liu Qingshan are actually worried about the possibility of betrayal by these four people.
The reason is even simpler. The older people get, the more they cherish their lives. If you get closer to Liu Qingshan, you will have a guaranteed lifespan. It is not an exaggeration to live a hundred years easily, but there are real examples.
Peng Sihai beside Liu Qingshan is over 11 years old, and Bian Lao is infinitely close to 100 years old. These two people are still as lively as people in their fifties and sixties, which has actually proved the credibility of his promise.
"I'm going to play Bentley in The Jungle Book. Since this role doesn't have many scenes, I can only get 30% of the salary. In fact, I'm not attracted to this role, but I hope others think I have to play it. You Do you understand me?"
De Niro looked at him with a half-smile, a bit like he was taking a test.
Liu Qingshan understood very well in his heart, but his words did not show his clear attitude: "Robert, your intention is to have Columbia Pictures take the initiative to offer Johnson to join you?"
De Niro laughed: "You really don't have the brains of a young man. No wonder you can see such a secret intention!"
Martin explained: "This is the result of our discussion.
, taking advantage of the other party's initiative and eagerness to achieve our recruitment purpose. "
Liu Qingshan looked very happy, "There is a saying in China that describes you old guys, the old ones are the hottest."
"I think your idiom old woman is cunning is more appropriate!" Al Pacino joked with a smile, "I seem to have the most ideas among these people, but in fact the more calculating ones are Martin and Robert. Both of them are as cunning as old foxes."
"Then who among the mechanics is interested in the characters?" Liu Qingshan continued to ask.
Martin glanced directly at Harvey Keitel, who was also unambiguous: "I have taken a fancy to Harry because I have always wanted to try to grow a beard."
"It's a very challenging role that requires a certain amount of paternal love. Harvey, this role is quite suitable for you, and there are quite a few scenes in it."
"Don't you see that I'm starting to grow a beard now? I'm prepared. I'm not trying to get Warner to ask me to join, but to show my desire for this role and then let them mention Statham. Conditions of exchange."
"Well, the methods are the same. Can you realize these plans?"
This time it was Joe Pesci who explained: "Almost everyone of us is very familiar with the ideas and work styles of those big companies. Such designs are all well-founded, and even if they don't take the initiative, we have ways to make them They thought of that."
Martin further added: "The premise is that many film companies have expressed the idea of stuffing people in. We have been avoiding this topic. Your two remake scripts happened to be stuck at the right node, which gave us the opportunity to add people. A plan to use it."
Liu Qingshan smiled happily: "It seems that we have managed to keep in step unintentionally. Is this an arrangement from God?"
