Heads Up Hollywood

If Jeter Lee doesn't play, choose Jack Chen?

It is even more difficult to ask Jack Chen to make a TV series!

Moreover, his monkey-like action performance is really not suitable for filming real dramas.

As far as the current general environment is concerned, even if Twain intends to promote it, it is impossible to find a newcomer of Asian origin to star in a large-scale American drama.

Jeter Lee is the only choice!

If he does not act, this American kung fu drama will be shelved indefinitely.

Either wait for the day Jeter Lee changes his mind and reboots. Either wait for the day when the international environment changes and Americans become more receptive to film and television works starring people of color before using newcomers.

However, it's not time to give up yet.

Can continue to communicate with Jeter Lee's team.

I believe that with the fame of New Universal and Starz TV, we can convince each other.

It really doesn't work, and Twain too!

The next step is to determine the candidates for the producer and director.

Determine the main creative team, and then let them modify and adjust according to this version of the original script and Jeter Lee's action characteristics.

"As the director, I recommend James Wen, which is what Bill meant."

"James Wen... Wan Ziren?"

Ted Sarandos was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Yes, that's his Chinese name."

Tang En knew Wen Ziren's name so well, it was like thunder!

But I didn't expect that it would be "swiped" at this point in time.

Ted Sarandos said: "Last year, Focus Features discovered him through a short film and invited him to direct "Saw 3." The cost of the film was $8 million, and the global box office was as high as $180 million. $50 million more than Saw 2, $60 million more than Saw 1."

The "Chain Saw" series was developed by Dunn himself.

At the beginning, in order to train Zach Schneider, he asked him to shoot "Chain Saw". The movie achieved great success and became a classic case of Hollywood's small and big.

With this success, Zach Schneider became an instant hit and started filming with big investments.

But after that, Tang En didn't pay much attention to the "Chain Saw" series, and let the people below to fiddle with it.

This is just an insignificant small series, not worthy of his big boss to ask himself.

Unexpectedly, Focus Pictures dug Wen Ziren out.

Ted Sarandos added: "Although James Wen is a young rookie, his shooting skills are quite mature. The most important thing is that he understands interpersonal relationships and is good at communication, which is a very valuable advantage of an artist. This year, "Movie Saw 3 has won the Pegasus Award, the French Thriller Film Festival Jury Special Award and the Youth Jury Award successively. It is very successful. Now, "Chain Saw 4" has been launched, and he will serve as a producer Continue to be in charge of the series."

Tang En thought of something, "By the way, who is the producer of "Saw 3"?"

"Another James." Ted Sarandos paused, "James Huang."

This person Tang En knew was Huang Yiyu.

"Chain Saw 1", the producer is Tang En, and the director is Zack Schneider.

"Chain Saw 2", the producer is Zack Schneider, and the director is Huang Yiyu.

"Chain Saw 3", the producer is Huang Yiyu, and the director is Wen Ziren.

"Chain Saw 4", Wen Ziren has been promoted to producer, looking for a new director to direct this project.

A small-budget horror flick isn't something a mature director would pick up, especially if the series was a hit.

Only rookie directors dare to step forward.

Tang En's eyes lit up, "James Huang, I know him, if I remember correctly...he should have participated in the production of many successful American dramas, right?"

Ted Sarandos said with a smile: "Yes, it is true. The youth comedy "The Boy Next Door" in the early years, the crime action drama "Dragon Tiger Boys", and the popular science fiction drama "X-Files", They were all made by him. The later hit horror film "Death Comes" was also created by him."

Tang En gave him a deep look, "So, the chief producer of "One Bamboo Ding Jinshan"...is this James Wen?"

Ted Sarandos said: "It is true. There are many Asian faces in Hollywood, but there are really not many creators who have achieved success. It is impossible for Ann Lee and John Wu to take over. We just A second-line producer can be used. It just so happens that during the production of "Saw 3", the two James had a very pleasant experience of cooperation. Let them join forces again to make a history of the blood and tears of the Chinese in the United States. They will definitely Would be very interested."

Tang En nodded.

Needless to say, Ann Lee is still waiting for the turnaround of "Brokeback Mountain".

It is even more impossible for John Wu. After returning to China, he has become a favorite, and all three places on both sides of the strait will be held in his hands. This guy is ambitiously gathering the power of all of Asia to make a historical masterpiece "Red Cliff". He is already the king of the Asian film market, and all film companies, including China Film, are scrambling to give him money.

The heat is even better than Lao Mouzi.

It is impossible for the proud John Wu to return to Hollywood at this time. Of course, when he shoots bad movies continuously, consumes all his fame and prestige, and can only rely on the investment of the local big boss of the Hong Kong government to continue his life, it will be even more impossible to return to Hollywood.

At this time, the cooperation of James Huang and James Wen is indeed the best partner candidate for "One Bamboo Dingjin Mountain".

As for the talented James Wen to conceive of other film projects, there is no contradiction.

American dramas are different from movies.

A season of American dramas is generally divided into 10 episodes.

A director like James Wen only needs to lead one of the episodes. Determine the rhythm, style, performance method and dialogue characteristics of the TV series to form a main direction. Then the other parts can be handed over to those professional TV directors to shoot.

...

After confirming the main creator of "One Bamboo Ding Jinshan", it was time for Tang En to withdraw and go home.

Natalie Portman and Gal Gadot are back!

Celebrate!

Moreover, Scarlett also joined in the fun and ran back.

Currently, Scarlett is training under the arrangement of physical trainers and action coaches, and she is going to play her own superheroine - Black Widow!

This year, Marvel will have three films, "Iron Man", "Ant-Man 2", and "Spider-Man 3".

In addition, there will be the start-up shooting of the three films "Captain America", "Ghost Rider 2" and "Iron Man 2".

Scarlett will appear in both Captain America and Iron Man 2.

Official debut of the Avengers!

Of course, this is all for later.

Now, it's time for the family to get together and have a good time together.

This reunion is different from our reunion in Jerusalem.

This time it was at King's Landing Villa No. 1, in his own home.

It is also time to determine the real status relationship.
