You made me a superstar

Chapter 493 Science Fiction Movies
Colo Page was once a very famous Hollywood science fiction director.

In the early years, he directed sci-fi films such as "Mars", "The End of the World", "Underground", "Future Equation", and was once known as the leader of Hollywood's sci-fi.

Later, at the end of the 90s, he left the director circle due to illness for nearly ten years. After his return, what awaited him was not the return of the king. Instead, he found that he could no longer keep up with this ever-changing new era. No matter what movie he made, he felt that the taste was not so good, although The box office is not too bad, but the word of mouth is not as good as the first one. Many American movie fans even think that Colo Paige is old...

In such a tepid state, after several years, I was invited by the DV company and got the script of "Lizardman".

Superhero movies are a big IP. Since the "Superman" series became popular, all parties have seen the huge commercial energy contained in this IP. The DV company is like chicken blood, and has formulated a superhero movie for five years. Film and TV series plans, and invited many well-known directors in the industry to direct this series of IPs, sharpening their knives and preparing to create their own era of superheroes.

Koro Peggy has certainly seen "Superman".

After watching "Superman", he was not shocked by the pictures in it. Instead, he felt that the movie "Superman" was extremely unreasonable, and there were many plot contradictions in it.

In his words, "Superman" is like a popcorn movie in industrial movies. Apart from the cool special effects and exciting pictures, the plot is so weak that it makes people feel cheated...

When directing "Lizardman", Ke Luo Page was naturally ambitious.

He is very meticulous, so meticulous that he regards "The Lizard Man" as a very logical hard science fiction movie. When preparing this movie, he has been preparing for nearly a year, focusing on [the possibility of human genetic evolution], [ Lizard Science Report], [Research Report on the Origin of Species] and other scientific reports, Keluo Peggy has almost figured it out.

Before filming "The Lizardman", he personally revised the script of "The Lizardman", deleted the contradictions in the script, added a reasonable scientific plot, and carried out every character image of "The Lizardman". Remodeling, strict requirements for hard science fiction indicators to shoot...

After such meticulous work, no one would have imagined that "Lizardman" would be such a rip-off at the box office.

What's even more unexpected is that the audience didn't have the patience to watch your meticulously crafted plot at all, and even the reshaped image made the audience extremely disgusted. Many audiences left the screening hall after watching half of the movie because of physical discomfort.

They really can't accept such a "Lizardman".

..............................

in the office.

Zhou Yang met Ke Luo Peggy.

This is a middle-aged man with a big beard, a high nose bridge and white hair. He looks a little haggard. Wearing a simple jacket, he seems quite tired.

When she was sitting on the chair, the smile on Ke Luo Peggy's face was almost forced.

After the failure of "Lizardman", the DV company directly gave up on him.

A few days ago, the boss of the company called him into the office and scolded him, saying that he ruined a big IP, the company lost at least billions of dollars, and fulfilled the contract to claim compensation from him.

Later, the Hollywood directors' union came forward to calm the matter down, but in the end they still paid a large sum of money for it.

When he directed "Lizardman", he signed a similar gambling agreement with DV company. At that time, he felt that he could definitely make a better film than "Superman", so he agreed to it, and said "Lizardman" boldly There will be a new era.

Who could have foreseen this ending?

"Mr. Zhou Yang, I heard that you want to make "Spider-Man". I think we can talk about how to make this film. I am very willing to be the film consultant for "Spider-Man". Here is my resume..." When Ke Luo Peggy saw this Huaxia youth, she tried to show a warm smile on her face, and introduced herself in detail, like a job seeker.

Zhou Yang listened.

The expression on his face was very serious.

Although Colo Peggy was talking about his extraordinary directing ability and his understanding of the science fiction world, Zhou Yang could infer that Colo Paige probably couldn't find a satisfactory directing job in Hollywood.

"Lizardman" is too hurtful.

The word-of-mouth and box office in Huaxia were all down, not to mention Lao Mei, who made a big joke directly.

Up to now, there is a lot of scolding on the Internet...

At this moment, who would want Kolo Paige to come and direct his own movie?
superhero movie...

To put it bluntly, it is a Hollywood industrial film, it doesn't matter if the plot is weak, if you can't even make such a film well, what are you talking about?

Besides, there have been a lot of newcomers in Hollywood movies these years, and Keluo Peggy obviously can't keep up with the times. Wouldn't it be good for them to use those newcomers as directors?
"Mr. Keluo Peggy, I'm sorry, our shooting concepts may be different..."

"The failure of "Lizardman" comes from the uncanny valley effect. In order to pursue the true sense of logic and evolution theory, I neglected this point...But Mr. Zhou Yang, I hope you will abandon other ideas and watch "Lizardman" The movie itself, you will find that this movie is excellent, not inferior to any sci-fi movie on the market..." After seeing Zhou Yang shaking his head, Keluo Peggy suddenly became a little anxious, and the whole person stood up. He got up, and immediately took out the CD and handed it to Zhou Yang, with a strong pleading on his face, looking at Zhou Yang like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

Zhou Yang took "Lizard Man", plugged it into the computer, and watched it seriously.

He has never watched "Lizard Man", and the word-of-mouth on the Internet is really bad.

It was so bad that he didn't even dare to look at it.

When "Lizardman" started to play, especially when the lizardman began to deform in the plot, Zhou Yang felt chills on his back, his hairs stood on end, and a very specific and strong sense of nausea and discomfort stimulated his physiology, making him For a moment he wanted to gag.

After watching the movie for more than ten minutes, he really couldn't watch it anymore.

All I know is that the camera of this movie is pretty good, and the special effects are well matched. Other than that, in a sense, it's no different from "The Mermaid of the Sewer".

This is the American version of "Lizardman". The Chinese version of "Lizardman" should be slightly better, and I don't know how many disgusting scenes have been deleted.

"How about it?"

"Mr. Keluo Peggy, I... sorry, I really can't appreciate it..." Zhou Yang sighed, with a wry smile on his face.

Originally, he thought seeing Colo Peggy would be of some help to the filming of "Spiderman", but after watching "Lizardman", Zhou Yang felt that Colo Paige was good at making horror movies.

"Look at the end of this movie again..." Keluo Peggy continued to ask without giving up.

"..." Zhou Yang fell silent.

The overall style of "Lizardman" is gloomy, and the overall color scheme is also extremely uncomfortable. Naturally, "Spiderman" cannot be shot like this.

Zhou Yang couldn't imagine what "Spiderman" filmed by Ke Luo Paige would become...

Maybe this guy really took pictures of the protagonist with several arms, propping up his body, countless compound eyes growing out of his eyes, and then furry...

Zhou Yang didn't dare to think about it anymore.

When Ke Luo Peggy saw the expression on Zhou Yang's face, his anticipation gradually disappeared, and finally he smiled wryly.

Originally thought that Hollywood couldn't find a suitable director film, and Zhou Yang, a Chinese, would be able to accept his ideas when he came here, but he didn't expect...

Still no different from others.

He held back all his energy and wanted to express himself, but in the end, he was fucked up.

....................................

"The "Spider-Man" project may need to be considered..."

"Mr. Keluo Peggy, you go back first, if there is a suitable movie, I will definitely contact you in time..."

Half an hour later.

Chloe Peggy is gone.

I left SKY with regret and unwillingness.

He didn't take Zhou Yang's last words to heart at all.

This was the last decency for him, at least he didn't refuse anything in person.

For the next two consecutive days, Ke Luo Peggy spent the entire time hitting a wall.

The aftermath of "Lizardman" was too terrifying, so terrifying that he couldn't be safe at the end of the day.

Wanting to find an opportunity to prove that I couldn't find any opportunity, some old friends who used to have a good relationship, after seeing him, they all avoided it.

For fear that he would ask them to borrow money.

Sometimes, the reality is so cruel. When you stand in the spotlight, everything around you is good people. When you sink in the trough, you will see more unacceptable things.

"Or, change careers."

His wife told him so.

He opened his mouth. When he saw a lot of abuse on the Internet, he really had such thoughts in his heart.

At first, it was the netizens who scolded him. He suspected that it was the sailors hired by the DV company, but since yesterday, the actors who participated in "Lizard Man" have also scolded him.

Scolding him for being arbitrary in the crew, he could have filmed well, but he must be forced to shoot like this, he is simply a tyrant on the set...

The staff of the crew also confirmed this incident with the actors, and even vividly talked about how Keluo Peggy treated them on the scene, and how step by step he made the big IP that should have surpassed "Lizardman". It has become such a disappointment now...

After Kolo Peggy finished reading it, she became frustrated.

These people seem to be right.

Just when Ke Luo Peggy felt a sense of powerlessness, his phone rang.

The call was actually from Zhou Yang.

He quickly answered the phone.

"Mr. Keluo Peggy, I'm sorry to call you at this time, do you have a suitable company now? If not, I sincerely invite you to join the crew of "Mine Bottom", which is a brand new underground world Science fiction movies... well, besides that, I have a monster universe project, I don't know if you are interested in participating..."
