Movie tycoon

Chapter 687 Tell You What Is Bull B (One More)
Inside Hollywood, 21st Century Fox.

For the new boss, different people have given different opinions.

Seeing Chen Xiaotang walk in, everyone in Fox stood up one after another to show their welcome.

Only Richard the Tiger was still sitting on the ground drinking coffee. In his opinion, doing this by himself was the best chance for the actor boss to show off.

Chen Xiaotang glanced at Richard, then pulled up his suit and sat down.

Everyone sat down together.

As Richard's brother-in-law, Big White Fatty Henry gave Richard a wink.

Relying on his extensive network and extraordinary status in Fox, Richard pretended not to see it, and said to himself, just watch it, brother-in-law, let's see how your brother-in-law and I can handle this Chinese guy.

After Chen Xiaotang sat down, he didn't say any polite words, and said bluntly: "Fox's business situation is not good. Now I have three plans to implement. I hope everyone will cooperate."

Glancing at the crowd coldly, the crowd remained silent, neither expressing their support nor their opposition.In a word, the ghosts are ready to wait and see what happens, and most people are waiting and watching. There is a Chinese saying, that is, a new official takes office three times, and he doesn't know how the actor boss will make a big move.

Chen Xiaotang continued: "First of all, in order to reduce the financial burden, we will reduce the investment in shooting low-cost films, and instead focus on the creation and development of low-cost films..."

"Ha, it's ridiculous!" Before Chen Xiaotang finished speaking, a very discordant voice said, "We at Fox have always been shooting big productions, but now we want to switch to making small movies. If we say it, people will laugh at us? "

Chen Xiaotang looked, but it turned out to be the guy named Richard.

The people next to him habitually echoed, "Yes, yes, we are a big company, of course we are going to shoot a big production!"

Chen Xiaotang glanced at everyone, "I understand what you mean, but whether a movie is good or not does not depend on whether it is a big production, but on the content of the filming, production, script, and actors... If the script is not good, the actors are rubbish. The production is backward and the content is bad, so even if you are given a mountain of gold and silver for you to shoot, what you shoot is still a pile of shit, Mr. Richard, tell me, right?" Chen Xiaotang looked at Richard sharply .

Richard snorted coldly, "Even if what you said makes sense, God can prove that we, 21st Century Fox, are an old-brand subsidiary, and the audience has become accustomed to our filming tastes. Oops!"

"No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than now?" Chen Xiaotang asked back, "To put it bluntly, Fox has already died once, and now I am trying to bring him back to life, so you can go to pray to your God, but, What I want to do must be implemented!"

This passage is very strong, to put it bluntly, you have to do it even if you don't do it!
Richard sneered again and again, "Haha, it sounds good, to bring Fox back to life, dear boss, if I remember correctly, you are an actor, I doubt how a person who is an actor can bring a movie that is on the verge of bankruptcy. Help the company up... Could it be that you are God? I have never heard that our dear God is Chinese!"

"Hahaha!" People laughed.

"Oh Richard, can you say a few words less!" Henry, the big white fat man sitting on Chen Xiaotang's left, couldn't help scolding.

Richard ignored this cheap brother-in-law, the puppet general manager, and still said coldly to Chen Xiaotang: "Dear boss, we Americans are very honest, if you want us to believe that you can do it, then please take Show some sincerity!" Richard pressed every step of the way, not giving the actor boss any chance to stand up.

Chen Xiaotang laughed, this smile made Richard very uncomfortable, what do you mean, did this guy have been prepared for a long time?

Just when Richard was suspicious, Chen Xiaotang waved his hand, and someone handed over several sets of documents.

Chen Xiaotang tapped those sets of documents and said with a smile, "This is my sincerity!"

"What is this?" Everyone stretched their necks curiously, and Richard was no exception.

Chen Xiaotang pushed those sets of documents forward, "Look, you are all smart people, so you should know their value!"

The big guy flipped through it suspiciously, and then shouted, "Why is it a script?!"

At this time, some people who had done their homework in advance and got acquainted with Chen Xiaotang's details suddenly remembered that besides being an actor and singer, this Lafei Chen was also an excellent screenwriter!
Could it be that these are all scripts created by him? !
First set of scripts, "Cruise of Horror":
Jess, who was planning to go sailing with his friends, had a car accident on the road with his son, and unfortunately died.After being killed, Jess' undead meets the Grim Reaper taxi driver. Jess insisted on going to the port to see his friends again, "Reaper" agreed, and after arriving at the port, Jess got out of the car, and the driver of "Reaper" asked: "I will keep the odometer on, will you Are you back?" Jess agreed, but she didn't fulfill her promise, and she still insisted on sailing with Greg and other friends, so she entered a cycle that she couldn't get out of...

The second set of scripts, "Night Devils": Forced by life, the thief Ah Jin recently took aim at his new boss, a wealthy jeweler. He and his family are preparing to go on vacation-so his A priceless gem collected in the country house and the safe in the house became the target of Ajin's robbery. At the same time, he also regarded this as his only chance.However, the god of fate seems to have never treated Ah Jin kindly, because when he carefully groped into the house, he unexpectedly found that another person had already occupied the place before him, and regarded everything here as his own. Things, traps everywhere...

The third set of scripts, "Sniper Phone Booth": What do you do when you hear the bell ringing in a public phone booth?You know for sure that someone made the wrong call, but instinct might prompt you to answer the call.When Colin answered such a call, he found himself involved in an intricate game. The caller said: hang up the phone, you are dead...

The fourth script, "Buried Alive," follows a contract truck driver who is kidnapped in Iraq and wakes up to find himself buried alive in a coffin somewhere in the Iraqi desert.He only has a lighter, a mobile phone, a light stick, a flashlight that turns on and off, and a pen.
In this suffocating space, he must and can only rely on his tenacious desire to survive to seek rescue...

Looking at the four sets of unique movie scripts in front of them, all Fox people were speechless, or in other words, so shocked that they were speechless.

How should I put it, such a script is simply top-notch, look at the exciting story content, and what you need to invest in...

The first film only needs you to find a yacht to complete the filming of the whole play; the second film also only needs a house to tell the story; the third one goes further and only needs a telephone booth!

Oh god, is this still a script?
Simply incredible!
But what is incredible is that the last one, "Buried Alive", only needs a coffin...!
unbelievable!

That's the only way to describe it!
May I ask, is there any scene in a play that takes place in a small coffin?Such a script is too perverted!

These guys at Fox are all well-established figures in the company, and they have passed hundreds of scripts if not thousands, but the four scripts in front of them opened their eyes and opened their mouths in surprise for a long time.

And at this moment, the big guy understood what the new boss meant by "small investment, big drama".

A good script was able to control the investment to such a cheap and unscrupulous bottom line, which definitely surprised everyone.

Even "Tiger" Richard, who wanted to give Chen Xiaotang a serious blow, was dumbfounded at the moment, looking at the four different small investment scripts, as if he saw four mouths laughing at him.

How can this be? !
Richard asked himself.

Just when Richard was dumbfounded, someone couldn't help asking: "Dear boss, do you mean that you wrote these scripts?"

Chen Xiaotang smiled, "Of course!"

Of course!

Although everyone had guessed before, everyone was surprised when Chen Xiaotang said so honestly that these scripts were written by him.

The reason why I was surprised was not only that the stories of these scripts were wonderful, but more importantly, these scripts were all original and original places where the stories took place!Cruise ships, houses, phone booths, and coffins!It is even more difficult than propositional composition, but I wrote four parts in one go!

Isn't this surprising? !

Everyone here believes that even a well-known Hollywood screenwriter with a gold medal and a million-dollar screenwriter can't write four movies with such themes in one go!

If I had to describe it, I would use one word...God! ! !

incrediable!Apart from this, there is no explanation!

"Dear boss, we have to admire you, you are so talented!"

"Yeah, such a script is definitely second to none in Hollywood!"

"I didn't expect you to be good at filming and just as good at writing scripts!"

"Wow, our admiration for you is like the Pacific Ocean!"  …

Suddenly, the horses were like a tide.

Chen Xiaotang did not expect that these Yankees who have always been known for their pragmatism would learn how to flatter others, and the filming is so melodious and full of charm, and its essence is by no means weaker than that of us Chinese.

"Since you all think it's good, is there a need to start filming?" Chen Xiaotang asked with a smile.

"Of course, it's time to shoot! Such a good script, if you don't shoot it, you will suffer a lot!"

"Yeah, I want to start shooting immediately, and I can take full responsibility!"

"I'll come, let me be responsible, and I'll do it well!"...

Those people started scrambling to grab the Tao, everyone is not a fool, such a good script, if it really starts shooting, it will definitely make a lot of money, and then I will be the minister of merit.
