Of course, filming "Iron Armor" tells the story of a tear-jerking father-son relationship, taking into account both business and art, which is what Zhou Shaoming values ​​most.

Even if it is a commercial film, it still needs to have connotation.

Pre-production and post-release are all trivial. As long as the work is successfully completed, you can sleep at home and count the money.

Emotionally speaking, Zhou Shaoming is actually more optimistic about the movie "Warrior". For him, who has watched sports-themed movies such as "Rocky" and "A Tiger", blood and passion are always the best factors to stimulate men's hormones.

.Men should shoot a film about a subject they like, even if it is just for fun.

Zhou Shaoming is not an indecisive person, but this time, he hopes to be more cautious. Because, his requirements for himself are too high and his expectations are too Chapter 185 Choice, Warrior! High.

"Why don't you listen to other people's opinions?" Christina hesitated a little. She had no choice between these two movies, so she could only suggest it.

Whose opinion? Frank, Jon, Ben, Jeremy... Zhou Shaoming smiled. This is his movie. He can listen to anyone's opinion, but in the end, he still makes the decision.

Even Frank, the big boss behind Lionsgate, cannot influence his own choices or dictate his own works. This is the dignity of a director and cannot be violated by anyone. What's more, Zhou Shaoming is now a big director.

Already.

"Go to sleep, my little baby, let's talk about the movie tomorrow!" Zhou Shaoming hugged Kristina.

Christina nodded, snuggled into the quilt obediently, and soon fell asleep.

Zhou Shaoming got up, walked to the living room, lit a cigar, and began to study seriously.

His brain was in chaos, and scenes from various movies appeared overlappingly. Sometimes it was "Iron Fist", and sometimes it was "Warrior". The passionate fighting and killing scenes made him feel like his heart was about to burst.

.There is no doubt that these are two extremely outstanding and eye-catching works. Especially the emotional element interspersed in the story made him feel deep in his heart.

.

After recalling the shock brought to him by the movie again and again, Zhou Shaoming fell into deeper contemplation. He hoped to fully bring his emotions into the work and experience the essence of the story.

There is no doubt that it is emotion and responsibility. All the blood and passion, all the fighting and duels, all the pictures and shooting methods are trying to show responsibility and protection. That is love, a part of emotion.

a way of expression.

It's just that expressing it in a man's way makes it look more passionate and manly.

Yes, responsibility and protection, love and affection.

After grasping the elements that the two movies tried to show, Zhou Shaoming finally had a clue in his mind.

Although "Steel Armor" is a perfect work, although it fully demonstrates the responsibility, protection and emotional factors it wants to show, it still seems to be lacking in some aspects. After all, this is a movie set in the future world,

A fantasy story with a steel robot as the character. Although it does its best to exaggerate the atmosphere, it lacks a sense of immersion. The perfect picture and superb shooting technology ruthlessly dilute this point, leaving a trace.

It became a small failure.

After all, those who watch the film are ordinary people, and many of their eyes are fixed on the wonderful pictures. Although they are also moved by the emotional factors in the film, it is difficult to completely grasp their hearts and give them a penetrating feeling.

A sense of heart-to-heart connection.

Compared with the story and background of "Steel Armor", "Warrior", which is based on the MMA mixed martial arts competition, is more realistic and emotional. Although it is much inferior to the former in terms of shooting, editing and screen, but in terms of emotion and responsibility

The elements are more thoroughly displayed, more touching, and more likely to resonate with them.

Ordinary human flesh and blood, driven by love and responsibility, forgiveness and redemption, can also burst out with powerful power and passion.

The power of love is unlimited, and the source of emotion is endless. What's more, the emotional factors in this film are more extensive, integrating family, friendship, love, and even the love of comrades, teachers and students.

A short and ordinary picture can stir people's heartstrings, a string of falling blood beads can break people's hearts, and a powerful punch can trigger countless people's screams and shouts.

What makes this world crazy is not violence and iron fist, but love and responsibility, forgiveness and redemption.

"The battle of life and death between flesh and blood humans is always better than the painless fight of cold steel." Zhou Shaoming clenched his fists, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

A failure at the box office? Maybe the director and star of the original "Warrior" lag behind the cast of "Iron Fist" and Spielberg's golden signature?

So now, with my surging strength and explosive popularity, I should be able to create different miracles, right?

However, when I look back at the three films I have made, all of them were box office bombs in the original time and space ("Saw"), which grossed US$55 million in the North American box office, and "Springtime of the Cowherd", which ranked first in the French annual box office.

The global revenue is close to 100 million U.S. dollars, "Resident Evil" has 50 million U.S. dollars in North America, and the global revenue exceeds 100 million U.S. dollars.) This made him a little excited and he became more concerned.

Whether he would succeed or fail, Zhou Shaoming felt a little scared for the first time in his heart, but he had no regrets.

Zhou Shaoming made up his mind to shoot "Warrior"!

The system has given him the entire script, and the movie is already flawless. However, as a director who already has his own ideas, Zhou Shaoming still modified a few places to make it more touching.

.

"Hi, Smith Zhou, I heard that you have written the script?"

On the phone, Frank asked with concern.

"Mr. Frank, I have decided that the next movie I want to make is "Warrior"."

"Warrior?" Frank was a little surprised. He had never seen the script of this movie.

"Yes, I have faxed the content of the script. If you are interested, you can take a look." Zhou Shaoming replied with a smile.

"Of course, Smith Zhou, please believe that I will never miss your works." Frank said happily, and then hung up the phone.

After reading the faxed script, Frank was completely stunned. He did not expect that Smith Zhou's favorite film would actually include such content.

Although mma mixed martial arts is famous all over the world, it has not been put on the big screen yet. There are still selling points, but compared with the two scripts in my hand, it seems to be too far apart.

As the boss behind Lionsgate Pictures, Frank is definitely a person who cares about money.

He is very optimistic about "Mechanical Enemy", which is a typical commercial film. If it is successfully shot, it will definitely have a fatal impact on the visuals and feelings of movie fans. That is a guarantee of box office.

Lionsgate Pictures is not short of money now, but no one would dislike having more money.

But now, Smith Zhou actually told him to make a movie that reflects the real current situation of mma.

"Smith Zhou, are you sure?" Frank called Zhou Shaoming again and asked tentatively.

"Yes, Mr. Frank, I have already decided." Zhou Shaoming replied with a smile.

Frank understands this young Chinese director, and no one can change his decision. However, he is still a little unwilling to ask him to give up investing in "Enemies" and instead invest in "Warrior".

If it weren't for the success of Zhou Shaoming's three films, he would almost be too lazy to talk to him about the investment in new films.

"Okay, Smith Zhou, I will let Jon discuss the next cooperation issues with you in detail." Frank tried his best to put on a smile, hoping that Zhou Shaoming could surprise him again, but the coldness that could not be hidden was still there.

It came out unconsciously.

From the other party's tone, Zhou Shaoming could sense that the other party was somewhat dissatisfied. However, since he had already decided, he would never regret it. If Lions Gate gave up investing, there would be many other people waiting to invest. Now he doesn't

There is no lack of money, nor is there a lack of investment. I just lack a confidant who can understand me, identify with me, and support me.

But in this era where the whole world is full of copper odor, he never expected to find such a partner.

Perhaps, he should set up a film production company entirely of his own. Now, Zhou Shaoming had such an idea for the first time.

"Let the capitalists go to hell." Zhou Shaoming looked calm and blew a quiet whistle.

He wants to use the thrilling movie "Warrior" to gain all the dignity and glory of Hollywood.

"Hi, Jeremy, my dear friend, how about a drink tonight?" After finishing the phone call with Frank, Zhou Shaoming dialed Jeremy's number.

"Oh, Smith, I'm very honored." Jeremy jumped up excitedly: "In the evening? I happen to be free, where do you want to go? How about the Planet Hollywood restaurant?"

Zhou Shaoming has been in Hollywood for more than a year, so he naturally knows where the Planet Hollywood restaurant is. It is a high-end restaurant, and its investors are all top Hollywood stars. Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger all work in this restaurant.

Shareholders behind the scenes.

However, according to Zhou Shaoming's memory search, this restaurant will probably go bankrupt in a few years. Stallone lost more than 17 million US dollars due to investment failure, and even sued the hotel manager rr to court.
