Chapter 176 Reality is more outrageous than movies(1/2)

“The roast duck in Beijing is really unique, you have to try it when you come to Beijing.”

"But the roast goose in Guangdong and Guangzhou is also outstanding. To be honest, I think roast goose is more delicious than roast duck."

"That's good. At least I didn't take your kid to drink bean juice."

"Brother Bai, are you talking about the sour soy milk?"

"To be precise, soy milk and sour soy milk are not the same thing."

The waiting time is always boring. Zhang Hong and Bai Tian don't talk about their respective scripts, so they can only chat.

Bai Tian didn't want to say too much, but Zhang Hong... he didn't have a script.

"Taken" plus "John Wick" plus "The Righteous" are really awesome.

But he was going to use this script to please his future father-in-law.

It's a complete waste to take photos of the ghosts and beasts of the ugly country.

He really had no intention of going anyway.

Amidst the nonsensical nonsense, the person they had been waiting for finally arrived.

"I'm so sorry! Traffic jam! Traffic jam!"

The visitor spoke very authentic Mandarin.

With that ups and downs feeling, I am afraid that if I go there, I can directly get a first-class Mandarin certificate.

When Zhang Hong heard this, he subconsciously asked, "What car are you riding in?"

But after all, he is not a young man in his twenties or even under 20, he is already twenty-six.

Including the time when he traveled back in time at the age of twenty-seven in his previous life, plus the two years after the time-travel, he should be twenty-eight years old.

If you act like a young man and don't understand the atmosphere...that's not called lively and smart, that's called stupid.

So Zhang Hong didn't answer the call at all.

Bai Tian added, "There is indeed a traffic jam in Beijing. The traffic jam from one end to the other is enough for me to take the high-speed train back to my hometown."

He and the other party were classmates who rented together at the beginning, so it was appropriate for him to say this.

Zhang Hong also took the opportunity to quietly look at the visitor.

She has chestnut hair, blue eyes, and a fair complexion. She is over 1.8 meters tall, has broad shoulders, and has big chest muscles.

With a standard clothes rack, you must be very stylish in a suit.

But I probably didn’t want today’s occasion to be too formal, so I wore a T-shirt, casual pants, and a pair of Adidas running shoes.

He is Donald Norwich.

You can tell from the name that he is not a standard white man from the Chou Country, but probably someone from Eastern Europe who immigrated to the Chou Country in previous generations.

He also gave himself a Chinese name - Tang Aiguo.

Anyway, after hearing what Bai Tian said, he was not polite. He sat down and said with a smile: "What the heck, the gambling over there in Los Angeles is even worse than this. Our company's top executives always fly directly to the roof of the building by helicopter for meetings."

.”

After that, he raised his cup to Wu Dingguo. Zhang Hong and others said: "I'm late, so I'll drink one drink as a penalty first!"

After saying that, he raised his neck.

Zhang Hong nodded heartily.

This guy probably knows a lot about China, and everything he does is very localized.

It may also be possible that it appears like this because of a special search.

But this also shows that they are not joking, they really have the idea of ​​​​cooperation, and they are not condescending.

Bai Tian was not polite and said directly: "Old Tang, we are all busy people. If you have something to do, just say it directly. Looking at the way you flew over from across the sea, is there something in trouble in Colombia?"

Donald smiled helplessly: "Bai, I won't hide it from you either."

After pondering for a few seconds, he began to explain, "Actually, our performance in Colombia has not been very good recently. We have lost money on six movies for three consecutive years, and we are now on the verge of bankruptcy and reorganization."

He didn't finish his words.

In fact, other peers are already planning to acquire Colombia.

And of course they didn't.

So if you want to save yourself, you have to find a way.

Donald would not tell Zhang Hong and others these things, but the hints were already obvious.

Otherwise, he would not have mysteriously flown across the Pacific Ocean to China alone.

As expected, Bai Tian also understood:

"I mean, Old Tang, I understand. You think you can't find any good directors in your country, or that the styles of popcorn movies you make are all very different, and the top directors in this genre don't follow the same style.

Your company cooperates, so you want to come to China to try your luck, right?"

Donald smiled lightly and said: "Bai, if you want to understand it this way, it's not impossible."

"I understand." He turned back and took out the tablet computer from his bag, then opened the document and handed it to Donald, "We are old friends for many years. This is the script I prepared. Take a look."

"good."

Donald is not welcome either.

This also shows their urgency in Colombia.

Zhang Hong didn't interrupt at this time, and even held down Lin Muqing who was about to speak out and shook his head at her.

There is no need for him to act on his own at this time.

It would be best if Bai Tian could handle it, since he has no interest in Hollywood anyway.

Just think of it as meeting a friend and stopping by for a meal.

Pretty good too.

After watching it for about ten minutes, Donald put down his tablet, took off his glasses, and rubbed his frown.

Then he took a sip of tea and said bluntly: "Dear Bai, your script... I'm afraid it won't work."

Bai Tian said displeasedly: "Reason."

"this......"

Donald hesitated.

Wu Dingguo smiled at this time and said: "Is it convenient for us to take a look?"

Donald looked at Bai Tian.

Bai Tian nodded, "Of course, there is a reason for inviting you two here. If you can help me correct something, I'd be very happy to ask for it."

Wu Dingguo read ten lines in one glance and quickly read it.

However, he did not express his opinion, but handed the tablet to Zhang Hong:

"Xiaohong, look at it."

Zhang Hong raised his eyebrows slightly, took the tablet and started reading it.

After watching it for five minutes, Zhang Hong understood what the problem was.

In fact, it is very simple, it is not in line with the national conditions.

There is nothing wrong with this script in Zhang Hong's opinion.

There might be flaws, but he didn't see them.

Anyway, it is much better than his own magic modification and original script.

This script tells the story of alien invasion and Earth's resistance.

The story is very old-fashioned, but the content is different from the ugly Hollywood ones.

There is no personal heroism in this script.

Although the protagonist and his party try their best to solve the problem, there will always be scientists who will not appear in other scripts who will come up with better suggestions.

There won't be a situation where scientists are all idiots and only important supporting characters and protagonists can solve the problem.

The troops do not rely on one country, but are a saturation operation of all countries united.

And they will also communicate with aliens. After learning that the other party is indeed an invader, all countries on the earth jointly resisted with all their strength, and at the same time sent several teams to go out to find and negotiate with the hostile aliens.

In general, the core of this old-fashioned script is actually the Chinese values, which are completely incompatible with the personal heroism of Hollywood.

Seeing that everyone had finished reading, Bai Tian also finished his work, "Honestly, there's nothing I can do about this, Bai, you know. Our company basically has no choice. According to Hua Guo, it's 'desperate'."

Seek medical treatment in a hurry. But this script of yours definitely won’t work.”

If you want to make money in Hollywood, you have to play by the rules set by others.

You have created a set of values ​​that are completely different from those of the ugly people, and you still want to sell them for money?
To be continued...
