Chapter 1177 Two Comedies
Let’s just customize it privately, Robert Eiger is also for the company’s performance.
Speaking of comedy, Qiao Feng was actually preparing to film, but he wanted to wait for Zhou Xingchi to have a schedule, and the male lead gave it to him.
Now that Robert Eiger has been found, Qiao Feng naturally cannot give the movie prepared for Zhou Xingchi.
However, there are no other scripts, but they have not written them out. I can only ask Eiger to go back and wait for him to write them.
After Robert Eiger left, Qiao Feng started to start writing.
He was going to take out two scripts, one called Detective's planet and the other was Ah Dai and Agua.
Both stories are actually very simple. The head of the Detective Airplane is about a pet detective named Ace Ventura, who makes a living by helping people find lost pets. When the football competition is approaching, the mascot of the Miami Dolphins, the dolphin "Snowflake", was kidnapped. This will undoubtedly greatly affect the morale of the players. In desperation, the team's economic man, Miss Metisha, found Ace Ventura to retrieve the lost dolphins.
Then there was Ace Wentu who looked a little unreliable and looked for dolphins. During this period, there was a female policeman asking for trouble in various ways.
The final result was of course the dolphin was found, and the kidnapper who kidnapped the dolphin was the female policewoman.
The whole story seems to be a farce, with illogical plot setting, full of clown-like mischief and lines, just for fun, but that's enough. Being able to amuse the audience is the greatest success of a comedy.
The plot of another Ah Dai and Agua is as simple as it is.
Roy and Harry are stupid buddies. Not only are they not very IQs, they also cannot find a job. Once, Roy got a temporary job and drove modern girl Mary Swanson to the airport.
Roy fell in love with Mary at first sight, but the two had a huge difference in identity, let alone how can they make progress in a short journey.
But it doesn't matter, as the movie, find an excuse to let the fool's courting journey continue.
Mary boarded the plane and Roy found that Mary had forgotten a suitcase in the airport waiting hall. So, in order to pursue true love, Roy decided to drive with Harry and drive to the destination of the plane mentioned by Mary. He not only wanted to return the suitcase, but also pursue Mary. But the suitcase did not seem to be that simple. A group of gangs stared at the suitcase and tried to put Roy and others to death. However, Roy had an unusual IQ and accidentally escaped the disaster. The two idiots began a silly and happy journey.
Vulgar and obscene are elements needed for nonsensical comedy movies. These elements have always existed in Zhou Xingchi's movies, and it is also the reason why Zhou Xingchi's movies are criticized by some people.
Of course, even if it is not nonsensical, many of Wang Fatty's comedy movies have been made into shit, piss and farts.
But I have to say that shit, pee, fart, and vulgar jokes are really funny.
However, Ah Dai and Agua are some of the mentally retarded people, making the audience laugh at the fact that they make fools laugh. They have to say that they are discriminating against vulnerable groups.
This is also the reason why Qiao Feng is not planning to use Zhou Xingchi.
It's okay to be vulgar, but he really can't accept it by letting a Chinese actor go to Hollywood to play a mentally retarded person.
It's better to continue using the original actors.
Anyway, the American version of Zhou Xingchi Jim Carrey is still a not-famous little actor at this time, so he is cheap enough to use him.
At that time, we will sign two contracts directly and shoot the Detective’s Aircraft Head first. This movie is the simplest. Two months is enough to make it well. It will be done quickly in the later stage and may be able to catch up with the end of the summer season.
Later, when filming Ah Dai and Agua, this movie should pay more attention to it.
Originally, this movie won the sixth place in the annual box office of North America in 1994, with a box office of more than 100 million US dollars in North America, and a global box office of as much as 247 million US dollars.
Jim Carrey entered the 20 million dollar club in one fell swoop that year.
Taking advantage of not being very famous yet and the salary is only over 100,000 US dollars, I will quickly get some wool first.
While Qiao Feng was busy writing the script, several directors who got the script also began to select actors and form a crew.
Needless to say, Hannibal is certain, and the remaining supporting roles are easier to choose. Then there is the fatal id.
Unlike Hannibal, Fatal Id is a group movie, and of course it is divided into starring and supporting roles, but the supporting roles with heavy roles are actually not much weaker than the protagonist. Moreover, it is not a supporting role with a face-skinned painting.
In addition, the scene is too single, with only one hotel located in the desert. This requires that in addition to the level of the hotel being set on the set, the actors' performances must also be in place. There are so many thrilling plots to be staged in this small haunted house. If the actors' acting skills are not online, they cannot support the plot of the movie, and the whole movie will be useless.
Yu Rentai, who was filming in the United States for the first time, was not unfamiliar with this circle. Because he studied in the United States, he not only studied business administration at Ohio University, but also went to the University of Southern California to study film courses, and worked as a production assistant in the News Department of ABC TV Station in the United States.
This not only allowed Yu Rentai to have a certain connection in the United States, but also his work experience at ABC also allowed him to have a certain understanding of the working environment, processes, etc. here.
This is also the reason why Qiao Feng chose him instead of other Hong Kong directors who are good at making horror movies to film. It is fast enough to buy it.
In the past few years, director Cheng had just adapted to filming the Silent Lambs. Not only did he get used to filming habits, but he also dealt with actors.
In Hong Kong, working overtime to film movies is normal for more than ten hours.
But here, eight hours a day, more than one minute is not enough, either you have to pay extra or you leave work and leave.
Cheng Gang was very imposing at that time.
This is also one of the reasons why Hannibal Qiao Feng changed to director Mr. Lei. Another reason is that Cheng Gang is not young and is seventy years old. Cheng Xiaodong wants the old man to enjoy his youth at home.
Yu Rentai would not have this adaptation process. After staying in the United States for a few years, he knew very well what rhythm and style it was here.
Moreover, he has a wide connection. Many of his classmates were in this industry and met many people when he was working at ABC, so the casting progressed very smoothly.
Within a few days, the male lead John Cusack was initially decided.
Because Fatal Id is a small-cost suspense thriller with little investment, mainly winning with the plot, Yu Rentai didn't dare to find any big-name actors.
