Start with hooves

The movie premiering tonight was promoted two years ago and there was constant buzz during the filming. It is called "Project Atlantis".

The background of the story is set in 2701.

As human pollution intensified, the earth gradually became uninhabitable, so it began to move to the stars.

The protagonist and his party went through a wormhole to explore a blue planet that also has a sea. During the process, they encountered many mysterious monsters. After crashing, they also discovered a primitive intelligent race similar to mermaids living on a mysterious island.

In Suri's memory.

Director James Cameron, who has always been famous for his commercial blockbusters, had already produced "Avatar" in his previous life, but the film in front of him was unheard of. It was obviously the result of his disturbing the timeline.

Although the story told is different, the plot is somewhat similar to "Avatar". It is a popcorn movie where you can guess the ending just by watching the beginning. It relies on special effects that cost a huge amount of production funds to win.

It’s the same as Su Rui guessed.

As expected, the intelligent race on that planet used crude cold weapons to capture the expedition team that already had the technology to travel through the wormhole. As expected, they also successfully persuaded the "resistance army" to attack the sea monster with their help and try to establish a A new world.

After watching the movie for less than half an hour, Suri could already guess what the second part would be about.

For example, the top human beings repented and attempted to invade the entire planet. After the protagonist broke up with the local intelligent race, he bravely fought against the evil top brass, jointly built a beautiful new world, and cut another wave of leeks.

The so-called homogenization of Hollywood movies is becoming more and more serious, and this is what I mean.

Because of the fear of project failure, major film companies generally adopt the safest routines, resulting in many films that continue to be changed, and no investors are willing to take risks.

The same is true for superhero movies. From "Spider-Man" to "X-Men" to "Iron Man", changing abilities and villains basically seems to share the same script. It is estimated that people will get tired of watching it in a few years. .

Suri, who was wearing 3D glasses, thought that she must not be like this while watching the show.

However, if he didn't have the "film library" in his mind as a support, he would probably find this routine really delicious.

For example, the creation of the second script of "Prison Break" was actually a bit difficult.

The most exciting story has basically been introduced in the first part. No matter how you continue to create, it will always be a bit of a continuation of the story.

Therefore, the screenwriter recently provided several creative ideas, but Suri felt dissatisfied after reading them. She regretted not including more foreshadowings like she did when filming "The Walking Dead 1".

"The Walking Dead 2", which has been aired, interspersed the memories of several protagonists before the disaster, and also used special effects to create scenes in which several cities, including Los Angeles, were "nuclearized" in an attempt to control the spread of the disaster. After the broadcast, It received very high ratings, and the reviews were no worse than the first one.

I'm all here tonight, so I can watch a movie.

Suri also knows that the reason why he dislikes it is mainly because he has watched too many movies and TV dramas. Most ordinary viewers are not too demanding and just need to tell a good story.

Putting aside the routine plot, the special effects of "Project Atlantis" are very advanced and use the latest IMAX giant screen technology. Including the cost of publicity and special effects production, the total cost is about 4 million US dollars. .

With its popularity and the influence of "Titanic" director James Cameron, I believe it will create a new box office miracle after it is officially released.

This gave Suri a sudden idea to invite James Cameron to be the director of "The Wandering Earth".

In the past ten days.

He has spent a little money to buy the adaptation rights of "The Three-Body Problem" and "The Wandering Earth" one after another, paying only 160 million yuan in total.

Their author, Liu, has not won a Hugo Award for "The Three-Body Problem", and these film and television adaptation rights have not become popular.When the people sent by Su Rui proposed to spend 50 yuan to buy "The Wandering Earth", Liu seemed to have picked up a huge sum of money for free. It is said that he didn't read the contract very much and couldn't wait to sign his name.

The film and television adaptation rights of "The Three-Body Problem" were in the hands of others. Faced with a "huge sum" of 110 million yuan, they also readily signed the contract.

After learning the news, Suri felt a little embarrassed. When she started writing the script, she planned to spend more money to hire the author as a consultant.

The reason why the value of copyrights is cheap is mainly because the number of dramas that are actually produced is far less than the works that can be adapted. Counting only the scripts registered with the Screenwriters Guild of America, there are more than 60000 scripts every year, and less than 1% are produced.

After watching the movie.

Suri chatted with James Cameron, who did not agree or refuse. He only said that he would read the script first and then decide whether to cooperate.

Thinking of the director's speed of burning money, even Su Rui was a little worried, fearing that the project would suffer a loss in the end and make a profit at a loss.

After calming down a little, he felt that he should think about it carefully again.

The premiere ceremony has ended, and Suri is going to find a place to have a few drinks with several actors, including Dwayne Johnson and Ashton Kutcher.

In the corridor, Jessica Alba suddenly reached out to stop him and asked helplessly:
"Are you going home now? The driver just called me and said my car broke down again. If it's convenient, can you give me a lift?"

Not even a second of thought.

Suri decisively chose to leave Ashton and others behind, and said with a smile: "Of course it's no problem, these guys are addicted to alcohol, and I just don't have a reason to reject them."

"???"

Dwayne Johnson touched his bald head. If I remember correctly, just a few minutes ago, Suri seemed to have suggested having a few drinks.

He had just finished calling his family and said he would go back later, but he didn't expect Suri to be inhumane to the opposite sex.

More than nine o'clock in the evening.

On the way home, Suri asked Jessica if she wanted to see a sample of Netflix Entertainment's new drama with the attitude of giving it a try.

I originally thought she would say that she wanted to go home to take care of the children, or that it was already too late.

Unexpectedly, Jessica readily agreed, which caused the bulletproof car to pass by her door and drive directly into the garage of Suri's house.

When he saw Jessica coming out of the car, the old housekeeper looked surprised.

I was wondering if there was something wrong with the feng shui of the house next door. Why do the homeowners keep doing this?
Naturally, the housekeeper thought of "The Deadly Woman" again. The mistress who moved into that house would kill the male protagonist in the end.

After thinking about it for a while, the old housekeeper quickly felt relieved. After all, his young master was too charming.

soon.

While the two of them were watching a play, Suri's butler thoughtfully prepared a large pot of iced tea and whiskey cocktail, plus some snacks.

This cocktail has a relatively high alcohol content and can be called a godsend.
