Reborn Dubai As A Prince

A few lunatics returned to Dubai with this brain hole.

Saeed and Mark are writing hard, discussing what kind of plot is more frustrating and hilarious... Sheikh is focusing on his entertainment empire, Iron Man filming, Twilight filming .

The "The Hangover" he wanted, unexpectedly also delivered the script very quickly.

It is said that the screenwriter wrote it very early, but it has not been taken seriously. He can only contribute everywhere, and MGM happens to have this script in his hands.

So he became interested in an instant, flipping through the script, the content tells about four guys going to Las Vegas to play, after a night of drunkenness, they have no memory of what happened yesterday,

The good guy who was going to get married has disappeared, there is a tiger in the bathroom for no reason, there is a baby who is a few months old in the closet, and the room is full of messes from last night...

Perhaps because of his vulgar personal taste, the hangover once made Sheikh laugh countless times. Its content was vulgar but made his stomach hurt from laughing. Even now, he can recall those funny scenes when he reads the script.

After laughing, he started to get serious and wanted to modify the plot.

The environments of Dubai and Las Vegas are similar, both are cities surrounded by deserts, both have all kinds of crazy buildings and luxurious places, both have luxurious casinos, and nightclubs for Westerners.

If you want to compare the two, the life in Dubai will be richer. The theme of Las Vegas is gambling and entertainment, but there are more entertainment in Dubai. You can go to 030, go skiing in shopping malls, and drag racing in the desert. accomplish.

The construction of Dubai has come to an end, the Pyramid Center has been completed, the Burj Khalifa has been capped, and the giant ship above the casino hotel has been renovated... All these are telling him that the Publicity Department is working.

Advertisement is indeed a means, but the effect is far inferior to embedding it in a popular movie, let alone let the movie choose it as the shooting location, the hangover will inevitably show the prosperity and splendor of the shooting location.

Dubai is no less than Las Vegas.

He immediately called his assistant, who woke him up in the middle of the night in the United States, and excitedly talked with him about the wonderfulness of the script "The Hangover".

The energetic assistant listened to a lot. The big boss was interested in the script, and he also said what he knew: "The company plans to start shooting this film at the end of this year. It is expected to be released in the summer of next year. It is a medium investment project."

"No, no, no." Sheikh wanted to change history, "I like this script, I want it to develop better, change it to another place, change it to Dubai, and I will give extra sponsorship."

As the Minister of Propaganda and Publicity, he can still use publicity funds to save a lot of money by using the publicity budget to save a fortune. The assistant asked again: "Do you want the screenwriter and director to go to Dubai?"

Sheikh sincerely wanted to invite (dbag) the other party: "Tell them that I have prepared a private jet transfer, and I will be responsible for all expenses here."

"Understood, I will notify them early in the morning and let them prepare the itinerary." The assistant also got serious and thought about it carefully. Using a movie to promote Dubai? It's quite clever.

But from the script, I couldn't understand this movie that became popular in later generations. After hanging up the phone, I was still a little dazed: "Hangover? What a strange name..."

On this whim, he invited the director and screenwriter of "The Hangover" to Dubai. The prince met them and praised the script: "I think it's as wonderful to put the story in Dubai."

Director Todd Phillips knew what the boss meant before he came, but he also had a little concern: "You should know that after reading the script, it is definitely a movie with a lot of F words and R-rated content, so I did it Choose Vegas without restrictions, I don’t know if it’s suitable here in Dubai?”

"Don't worry!" The prince waved his hand generously, "I will give the green light to the shooting in all aspects, let the police cooperate with you, let the propaganda department provide financial sponsorship, and let the company provide the shooting location.

The prince's implication is that as long as you want to do it, you can do it, and Phillips confirmed: "Even if I want to shoot casino content in this city?"

He laughed: "I want to say that Dubai is very open. I have casinos and hotels, and I can shoot strip shows. I think it is much more important than Caesar in your script. Cool.

Phillips has no doubts, the rulers have given the green light, and filming here can also get an advertising sponsorship... Which director doesn't want his film to have a richer budget?

The script was immediately revised.

He also took them to tour and visit Dubai as a landlord, and personally participated in the creation of the plot of "The Hangover"-this kind of comedy with a lot of dialogue, the script is not perfect, and there is a lot of improvisation.

Sheikh chose the Caesars Palace Hotel, where the hangover occurred in the previous life, as the Marina Bay Hotel in Dubai: "The protagonists stayed in the presidential suite, and they could give a close-up of the night view of the Palm Island opposite the hotel."

The director knew that this movie would be responsible for promoting Dubai, so he also joined his imagination: "If the sky swimming pool on the roof of the building is added, the effect will be even more amazing, but it is still not ready for use yet?"

In fact, this hotel is still in the post-renovation process... But Xie He said that there is no problem: "We can let this part of the trial operation first, and if it doesn't work, we can find a special effects team to make post-retouching."

"A great solution." The director was satisfied. After visiting here, they continued to the next stop, including the center of the pyramid and the Burj Khalifa.

Phillips looked at the huge pyramid in front of him: "It should give people a sense of omnipotence. In addition to being able to buy any brand, you can ski and swim here, and you can even get married here. How about it?"

Sheikh smiled: "You can also put the content on the top of the last building in the Burj Khalifa. The groom Doug, who is about to get married, was trapped on the top of the world's tallest building for a day and a night. I think this kind of despair is very interesting."

"That's right..."

The director and screenwriter spent a week in-depth experience of eating, drinking and having fun in Dubai. During this period, they continued to revise the script and add highlights. Even Sheikh contributed a lot of content.

For example, after the protagonists woke up, there was a tiger in the bathroom. He removed Tyson, and the owner of the tiger was himself, the prince of Dubai!

These daring protagonists broke into the prince's manor over the wall, and then swam and peed in the pool in his garden. Finally, the tiger director who stole the prince burst into laughter.

"If you are willing to make a guest appearance like this, it will be very hilarious." After getting along for many days, Phillips has become familiar with the funny side of the prince.

"Isn't it suitable to play myself in a serious way?" Xie He was interested, anyway, it was a cameo role, and Prince Ben and Xiaobai also wanted to be on camera.

The role of the gangster boss has also been changed. It was originally played by a Chinese, but Xie He didn't like it. He needed a contrasting role to subvert the previous image on the screen.

"I want to act!"

Scarlett, who couldn't relax, laughed out loud after reading the script, and was very enthusiastic: "I want to play the gangster boss! Haha! Tattoos, red hair, outbursts and fight scenes are so interesting!"

Xie He looked at her seriously... Scarlett Johann has never acted in a comedy, and her face with a little facial paralysis makes her more serious, but if she participates in a very funny plot, the contrast will be there.

"If Ms. John Xun is willing." Director Phillips is also interested, and it's also to save face for the boss. After all, Scarlett has a very close relationship with him.

So the script for Dubai's version of The Hangover is done.

In terms of casting, the protagonists are still the three from the previous life, the dentist, Xiaopang and the teacher. Xie He is very optimistic about them because of preconceived reasons. It must be these three lunatics!

[It is highly recommended for those who have never watched "The Hangover", it is very hilarious].
