Chapter 259： Zhang Dongcheng teaches bad children

"Smith spent a lot of money to invest in the filming of Robert Ludlum's classic novel "Bourne's Identity", and the director chose John Wu, a master of violent aesthetics!" - "Los Angeles Daily"

"Spy Movie has a production cost of 100 million US dollars, marking that Hollywood has officially entered the era of blockbuster movies!" - "Entertainment Weekly"

"What can a hundred million dollars do? If you give it to James Cameron, he'll give you half of the Titanic; give it to John Wu, and he'll give you a brand new Bourne Shadow, an alternative movie. A treat for the senses! Looking forward to seeing this movie!" - The Washington Post

"With the powerful combination of John Wu and Smith Chang, masters of aesthetics of violence, we can foresee that this spy movie will definitely become a classic not to be missed in Hollywood history!" - "Los Angeles Times"

"When it comes to John Wu Lai, what people remember most is undoubtedly the flying white dove, the hymn to the Virgin and the brutal gunshots. It is he who makes violent films no longer be regarded as It is a "violent film", because he provides audiences all over the world with a brand-new perspective of examining violence - the perspective of oriental aesthetics, which makes violence a "significant form" for the first time. Smith threw 100 million US dollars The production fee of the film was handed over to John Wu to shoot this spy movie, and we have reason to believe that it will become another representative work of Director John!" - "New York Times"

When the leak of the dark war script became more and more serious, Zhang Dongcheng suddenly threw out a lot of spy news. This news instantly diverted the attention of those media who were still obsessed with the future fate of the dark war, and all of them fell on this series. None of the movies have yet been confirmed.

Countless Hollywood superstars have begun to contact Wu Yusen through their agents, wanting to get the chance to play one of the roles.

Although there are endless big-budget movies in Hollywood, there are still a few who can really spend 100 million US dollars to make a movie. It's no wonder these superstars are excited.

"Hey! Smith, what do you think of me playing the protagonist of The Bourne Shadow?" Nicolas Cage took advantage of the gap in the filming of the dark battle and came to Zhang Dongcheng and asked.

Zhang Dongcheng looked him up and down, then shook his head. Said: "I can't afford another 20 million yuan!"

Nicolas' face was slightly embarrassed. He knew that Zhang Dongcheng was saying that he only needed to get 20 million US dollars last time, and he didn't even read the script to sign the contract. "Smith, I can get paid less! How about it?"

"It's really rare!" Zhang Dongcheng, who had already gotten acquainted with Nicholas, began to tease unceremoniously, and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Nicholas would have a day without money!"

"NO! Smith!" Nicholas shook his head solemnly, and said, "I didn't say that I don't want money, I just said that I can lower my salary."

"I'm very sorry. Nicholas!" Zhang Dongcheng said with a bit of regret in his tone, "Actually, Bourne Shadow will start production soon, and at that time our secret battle has not yet been completed, and you can't adjust it at all." The schedule is coming, so I don't have the time to participate in the Bourne shoot. I have to say, you can only choose to miss this opportunity!"

Nicholas sighed a little disappointed, and said helplessly: "Okay. This is indeed disappointing news!"

Since the release of Titanic, Leonardo DiCaprio's value has soared several times in an instant, and these Hollywood actors have begun to consciously accept roles in some big-investment movies.

It's a pity that Leonardo DiCaprio's experience cannot be replicated. Even James Cameron, who caused all this, cannot do it again, let alone others.

Although Nicholas is a guy who wants money, he is very clear about his position. It is a matter of course that he wants to get this opportunity, but it is a pity that he has to miss this opportunity due to the conflict of schedule.

"Director Smith!" John Travolta walked over after just dispelling Nicholas's thoughts. After he glanced at Nicholas, he said to Zhang Dongcheng: "This time, I don't know if I have the cast of Spy Shadow." Chance?"

Zhang Dongcheng and Nicholas looked at each other with wry smiles, and said, "I'm sorry, John. I don't think you will be able to participate. Because the schedule of the secret war just happened to conflict with The Spy Shadow, if you want to take on the Bourne Shadow, then you have to give up. Secret battle!"

Zhang Dongcheng has already said so much, what else can John say. I can only feel sorry for my tragic fate.

Nicholas, a bad guy, felt a lot more balanced after seeing John disappointed. He laughed and said, "Okay, John, don't be sad, I was rejected by Director Smith just now!"

John gave Nicholas a blank look, and muttered in his mouth: "Damn it, can't you not be so gloating? Think about it, you can't get that role!"

When Nicholas heard this, his face suddenly collapsed.

After the joke, Zhang Dongcheng sent a few more actors who came to ask. Then the crew once again jumped on the remaining shots of the dark battle.

Now, the filming plan of the dark war is coming to an end. I believe it will be completely finished next month and enter the stage of post-production. The expected release time should be in this year's summer, around July to August!

When Zhang Dongcheng was busy filming the secret battle, the time had unknowingly reached the end of April.

ZDC TV station, the general manager of the TV station, Blaise, looked at some information just collected, and a relaxed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Very good! I believe these materials are enough to produce the content of the first season!" At this moment, what Blaise is holding in his hand is the death record of a person who died abnormally.

Some of the death processes are horrifying, while others make people feel dumbfounded. It can even be said that he is seeking his own death.

That's right, the information he is collecting now is the material for a thousand ways to die.

This is a general framework proposed by Zhang Dongcheng, and then ZDC TV station collected and sorted out the program. To be honest, the technical content is not high. You don't even need a few actors, the whole show is about one death after another.

The difficulty of shooting is very small. As long as there is content, it can be sorted out, and after a little editing and post-production, it can be broadcast on the TV station.

Putting down the materials in his hand, Blaise drank the coffee delivered by his secretary and asked, "Bella, do you think this show will really have ratings?"

This is what is most confusing for Blaize now. He really can't see what is so attractive about this program. But after all, this is what the big boss Zhang Dongcheng explained.

Bella is the female secretary that Blaise just hired, a **** and beautiful Russian girl. Only two years out of college.

Hearing Blaze's question, Bella smiled and shook her head, and replied: "Mr. Blaze, you have to try to trust Director Smith. You know, he is a talented director, and I like the mummy he shot the most. , The relationship between Imerton and Ansuna is really regrettable, I even feel that this story is more touching than Romeo and Juliet..."

"Enough! Bella!" Blaise rubbed his brows in distress, this Bella is good at everything, except for one thing, she is Zhang Dongcheng's brainless fan. She watched each of Zhang Dongcheng's movies no less than four or five times! Even bought a DVD collection specifically.

Even the reason for applying for the position of his secretary this time is Zhang Dongcheng. But it has to be admitted that Bella's working ability is indeed very strong. Although she is pretty, she is a down-to-earth girl who is almost perfect. Maybe the only shortcoming is that she admires Zhang Dongcheng, right?

"Mr. Blaise!" Bella responded dissatisfied: "It's very impolite for you to interrupt a lady like this!"

"Bella! I can apologize, but I think you should be working now! What do you think?" Blaize was completely helpless. Passed the information in hand to Bella, and ordered: "Let the technical department make a promotional video, and start building momentum for the broadcast of a thousand ways to die!"

"I understand!" Bella, who entered the working state, instantly lost the nympho-like reaction just now, and her whole person looked shrewd and capable. After receiving a stack of documents from Blaise, Bella left the office quickly.

After watching Bella leave, Blaise shook his head, and said to himself in a sad tone: "A thousand ways to die? Damn it, who would want to see how humans die! This kind of program really will Anyone watching?"

It's no wonder that Blaise is skeptical, new things will always be challenged. But the facts will prove that the idea given to him by Zhang Dongcheng is correct!

That night, some people who paid attention to ZDC TV station were shocked to find that ZDC, which had been broadcasting other TV station programs during this period of time, and even broadcast news on other TV stations, unexpectedly started to promote its new program for an unprecedented time.

But the promotional words of this new program are really scary. Even audiences in the United States who like plasma horror movies feel a little creepy after seeing the promotional video of ZDC TV's new program.

"Death is everywhere. Some people are lucky enough to pass it by, while others cannot escape it. It is a miracle that we are alive! Every day we are dealing with bacteria, viruses, diseases, injuries, natural disasters... Fight! You have to face 1000 ways to die every day! Stay tuned to ZDC TV’s upcoming documentary, A Thousand Ways to Die! He will tell you that you should thank God for His mercy every day of your life on earth !"

"Oh! ****! What kind of **** program is this. It even broadcasts a documentary about the way of death. Is ZDC TV trying to tell us how to commit suicide?"

"A thousand ways to die? God. This approach of ZDC TV station is simply too irresponsible. This kind of program that broadcasts the process of human death will teach children badly! We should boycott him!"
