Senior Superstar

Chapter 915

After living in this time and space for three years, Li Shixin actually has nothing wrong with it.

The cultural background and world pattern of the two time and space are basically the same.

But in fact, if you really look closely, there are still many differences between this time and space and the world Li Shixin lives in.

Going out of politics, there are subtle differences in the world structure, such as Li Shixin's old line of entertainment industry, in fact, the difference is very big.

Many entertainment works that Li Shixin is familiar with do not exist in this world. But in contrast, many excellent works of Li Shixin that did not exist in that time and space have emerged like flowers in this time and space, and have had an impact on people's lives.

When he was in China, Li Shixin specially studied this difference. But for Hollywood, he really didn't pay much attention.

Now, seeing Li Shixin in "The Silence of the Lambs" in the audition form is really a bit shocking.

"This movie, is it a remake or"

He pointed to the audition form and looked at Edith.

"You said this?"

After taking the information in Li Shixin's hand, Edith took a rough look and shook his head.

"No, this movie was written a long time ago. A film company wanted to shoot it before. But it was put on hold because of a series of accidents. It was not until recently that someone found it out of the script library and bought the copyright to plan to shoot it. .Godfather, are you interested in this script and character?"

Facing Edith's strange gaze, Li Shixin nodded.

more than interested

The character's name on that audition sheet was "Hannibal Lecter."

In Li Shixin's original time and space, the most, most, most, most famous ogre!

"Well,"

Eddie Tucker grinned, and asked again tentatively with an even weirder expression;

"Godfather. Are you sure you want to audition for this role?"

Seeing the rather uncomfortable expression on his godson No. 8 or No. 9, Li Shixin was puzzled;

"Why, is there any trouble with this movie?"

"Ahem, if you want to talk about other movies, maybe I don't know about them. But this movie, every Hollywood producer knows about it. Uh, some people think that this script is an' ominous'."

"Ominous?"

The one with the red hair?

Li Shixin frowned, and the doubts in his eyes became even more serious.

Under his gaze, Editack coughed in embarrassment. He hesitated to introduce the crew of "The Silence of the Lambs";

Movies, in fact, have their destiny.

Just to give an example, there used to be a magic movie in Hong Kong called "New Dragon Inn".

This martial arts film directed by Tsui Hark, starring Leung Ka Fai, Donnie Yen, Lin Qingxia and Maggie Cheung, almost represents the pinnacle of Hong Kong martial arts movies.

But at the beginning, this film was actually created by the famous agent Cai Ziming specially for Jet Li.

"Huang Feihong" was a big hit back then, but Jet Li felt that Golden Harvest was unfairly allocated and wanted to leave. In the end, Cai Ziming came forward and not only asked Golden Harvest to compensate him for the remaining film salary, but also promised to return Jet Li to be free.

After officially becoming Jet Li's agent, Cai Ziming immediately started filming "New Dragon Inn". At the time, the movie was going to have Michelle Yeoh as the heroine, and even thought about asking Stallone to make a cameo.

But just after Cai Ziming and Michelle Yeoh agreed to shoot at the Hotel Nikko East Tsim Sha Tsui, he was assassinated by two gunmen pretending to be security guards.

Because of the Cai Ziming incident, Jet Li missed the filming of "New Dragon Inn".

After the turmoil subsided, Zhengdong Film Company was established with Yuan Kui and others. And immediately launched a kung fu movie specially tailored for Jet Li, which aroused great repercussions in the three places on both sides of the strait, and even made the Triangle Army Thorn a bestseller at one time - "The Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai".

Zhengdong Film Company did not last long either. After the filming of "Fang Shiyu", several film investments failed and the company went bankrupt. Coupled with the failure of his lover Li Zhi's business in the mainland, Jet Li had to sell himself to Huaqiang, signed a three-year contract for six films, and paid 72 million yuan in advance to get out of trouble.

If "New Dragon Inn" is starring Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh, with Stallone as a cameo, the Chinese film industry may lose a classic martial arts movie.

But from another point of view, if this movie was played by Jet Li, then Zhengdong Film Company would not have been established. There will be no "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" specially created for Jet Li, and the six films made in the three years when he sold himself to Huaqiang.

Which six films?

"Yi Tian Tu Long Ji", "New Five Patriarchs of Shaolin", "Jing Wu Heroes", "Letter to Dad", "Die Hard", "Adventure King".

It may seem a bit metaphysical to say this, but it is the case; movies, like people, also have a destiny.

In many cases, a series of coincidences, or an accident in any link, may cause a movie to become a hit, or die prematurely.

"The Silence of the Lambs" in this time and space is like this;

The novel of the same name of this film was noticed by Hollywood in the 1990s, and they planned to buy the adaptation rights from the author for film and television.

But on the day when the film and television company was negotiating copyright with the author, the novel author Thomas Harris was killed in a car accident on the way to the film and television company.

When the police cleared the scene of the car accident, they even found an unsigned license contract in Thomas's jacket pocket.

And that's it, the first time the movie has run aground.

After Thomas died, his two wives and children went to court because of inheritance issues, which led to the indefinite extension of the film and television adaptation plan of the novel.

It was not until eight years later that the copyright issue of the novel was finally clear. The second wife, who inherited most of Thomas' estate, sold the right to adapt the novel to Hollywood's TJ. Ford Film and Television Company.

After the latter obtained the copyright, it was ready to be auctioned in 2000.

But fate was not ready to let go of this difficult film. When TJ. Ford found a director and actors and was about to start filming in his own studio, a fire broke out in the studio.

As a result, due to the safety hazard of the studio itself, the fire door was stuck, resulting in the film's director Bert José, producer Bobby Godwin, starring Aldous Garcia and two crew photographers being killed. burn to death.

For this accident, TJ. Ford paid a total of more than 70 million US dollars in compensation, and the company went bankrupt directly.

In this way, the movie was aborted again.

The copyright of this film was also acquired by another film company "Simon Davis Entertainment" for a cabbage price of US$200,000, and it was ready to be shot in 2011.

Surprisingly, on the eve of filming, the heroine of the film, Alia Hazard, died of drug abuse. was found dead in her Los Angeles mansion.

The script of "The Silence of the Lambs" smeared with Aaliyah's vomit in the set photos released by the paparazzi has once again caused a stir and curiosity.

In this way, this three-time aborted R-rated film has become an urban legend in Hollywood. It has become an existence that every film company and production director can't avoid.

Li Shixin hissed after Edith finished talking about the twists and turns of the filming experience.

fuck you

The first Poké died the original author of the script.

The second Polk died director, producer, actor and two crew photography.

The third poker is dead heroine.

This script is very tough!
