Chapter 909: Fighting a nest

The scientific logic of the original Jurassic Park is very nonsense:

It is said that a group of people found a prehistoric amber, and there was a mosquito in the amber. The last meal of the mosquito was dinosaur blood. So scientists extracted the dinosaur DNA, but the DNA was incomplete. They used the frog's DNA to replenish it and finally resurrected the dinosaur.

Now it has become Chen Qi's version, he doesn't mind a little more: an international dinosaur fossil sales organization got a batch of dinosaur eggs from China and sold them to a scientific research institution. Scientists found nothing when studying dinosaur eggs, but from the dinosaur eggs, they found a mosquito amber, an American tycoon sponsored funds, resurrected dinosaurs on an island, and wanted to develop it into a unique dinosaur paradise.

He found a group of people to conduct a safety assessment of the park, and there was an archaeologist couple, the male and female protagonists of the film. Everyone came to the island and saw the dinosaurs with their own eyes. But the one who was so desperate was an engineer conspired with an outsider to steal the dinosaur embryo, turn off the safety protection device, and all the dinosaurs ran out.

The plot behind is generally consistent, but there is an additional Chinese female scientific researcher.

After Chen Qi visited, that night, Trisemel finished reading the script himself and convened a meeting of staff the next day.

A Warner executive praised it and kept saying: "Hollywood says he is the Chinese who understands the American market the best, and it's true! We know that from the first draft of the script to the final draft, I don't know how many revisions the screenwriter will have to be carried out in the middle.

Why modify it?

It is that it does not fit the mainstream commercial market in some places.

And this Chinese is famous for writing only one draft in the industry. I didn’t believe it before, but now I deeply agree with it. The creativity of the resurrected dinosaurs is great! The scientific logic is also quite good."

"Isn't it outrageous?" Some people doubted.

"It doesn't matter! We are filming movies, not science and education movies. As long as the audience watches it, it's fine.

The story structure is very complete, with a foundation, a turning point, a crisis, a climax - he even did some storyboards, which can be taken directly!"

After hearing this, Semer asked, "So you support this project?"

"Yes!"

"Can the existing technical means be achieved?"

"It's okay, let's buy it first!"

This is a common practice for Hollywood companies. When you encounter good scripts, buy them first and stock them up. A small number will become movies, and most of them will remain in the script library and fall into dust.

Semer asked others about his opinion, and most of them agreed. He also liked "Jurassic Park". After all, resurrecting dinosaurs on the screen is such a great feat in the history of film!

Chen Qi is doing well in Hollywood. He had no chance to communicate before, but now he takes the initiative to come to the door, and Semer is not stingy with showing kindness and invites him.

So the two sides met again.

After complimenting each other, Semer said, "To be honest, it's not appropriate to communicate with you so directly. You don't even have an agent."

"It's not convenient for me to find an agent, I just need to have a lawyer." Chen Qi said with a smile.

"Ha! OK!"

Semer also smiled and said, "We like the script of "Jurassic Park". Everyone is extremely excited about bringing dinosaurs to the big screen. I know you have a collaboration with Fox and Colombia, at their prices-."

"I think there is a little misunderstanding, Mr. Semer!"

Chen Qi interrupted him and said, "I have proved my value through several movies and have failed. No Hollywood screenwriter can do my best."

"Oh, of course!"

Semer understood what he meant and waited for him to continue speaking. Chen Qi paused, as if he was exploring, and said, "I hope Jurassic Park can be priced at no less than $1.5 million."

"This is impossible!"

Semer flatly refused and kept shaking his head: "Chan! You understand the Hollywood market, it has nothing to do with your nationality,

No one can achieve this value without a screenwriter!”

"I think there are always exceptions in everything."

"Maybe there, but it will never be now."

Chen Qi heard this and did not continue to fight for it, but smiled and said, "Okay, it seems we can't reach an agreement. We can only say regrets. I hope we will have a chance to cooperate next time."

Um?

Semer was stunned. He really wanted "Jurassic Park", and he felt that the next process was bargaining. Unexpectedly, the other party stopped talking and watched Chen Qi collect the script and walk out of the door.

"What is this Chinese doing?"

But Chen Qi went out.

In the corridor, a man happened to come to me. He was fat in middle-aged, with red and rough skin, and a slightly thick flesh on his cheeks. When he saw Chen Qi, he took the initiative to say hello: "Chen! I didn't expect to see you here!"

Immediately afterwards, I introduced myself: "Jon Peters!"

"Oh, I've wanted to visit you for a long time, and I haven't had a chance. It's such a coincidence today."

Chen Qi smiled and shook hands with the other party.

Jon Peters is a famous Hollywood producer, and his works include "Purple", "The Witch of the East Town", "Batman", etc. In history, he is also the producer of "Rain Man".

This person used to be a barber. It is said that he only took the lead after licking Barbra Streisand. He was probably also handsome when he was young and endured the baptism of steel wool.

The two chatted casually and passed by.

Jon Peters entered the office, met Semer, and asked, "What's that Chinese man here for?"

"I sold a script to me, and it was a great level, but he asked for $1.5 million, which was a joke!"

"1.5 million? He really dares to speak. I admit that he has some skills, but it seems that he is already arrogant and will soon get out of Hollywood if he continues."

The two skipped Chen Qi and began to study the project of "Batman".

Warner was very troubled by Batman, and the launch failed twice. It was mainly about the style positioning of the film. They were not very confident about what kind of image Batman was portrayed into.

This time the director tentatively set up Tim Burton, but it has not started yet.

First, Tim Burton has not proved himself in a commercial film, and he happened to have a drama "Beetle Juice" released early next year.

If the box office is good, then you will basically be sure of the candidate.

Second, the script is still being polished.

The first draft was finished in 1983, and after the hands of nine screenwriters, it was not completed yet. "Sam Hamm agreed to take over. His idea of ​​Batman is great." Jon Peters said.

"Sam Ham?"

Semer searched through his mind and was a screenwriter who emerged from Hollywood's Xinpu. He sighed: "I don't care who will take over. In short, this is the last chance for "Batman". If you fail again, don't think about starting it within ten years!"

"Don't worry, this time it's OK. If it doesn't work, I can only go to that Chinese." Jon Peters joked.

"That's so bad. I don't think he can understand the essence of DC comics."

"Then our "Batman" will become "Black Man", a full of Chinese Kung Fu!"

"Ha ha!"

Both of them laughed.

Taking advantage of the time before the premiere of "Mean Girl", Chen Qi traveled all over the top eight Hollywood games like a street walk.

Similar to Warner, each company is very interested in "Jurassic Park", but when he hears the quotation of $1.5 million, he feels that this Chinese is crazy. As far as the screenwriter is concerned, it has nothing to do with Chen Qi's identity. There is no such high-priced script in Hollywood now.

The news quickly spread in the industry, and everyone knew that he had a good thing in his hand, but the price was very high.

Price also came to ask, Chen Qi told the general story of Jurassic, and Price gave up immediately. It seems that there are a lot of special effects used, which Colombia cannot afford to shoot.

Chen Qi went around and achieved his goal, and then calmed down.

No one knows what he wants to do.

Price could guess one thing: the two talked about the strike, but he was not optimistic about Chen Qi's "waiting for sale" and felt that even if the strike was on, it would be over soon and would not cause a shortage of food.

Because there was a strike in the last negotiation, it was settled in two weeks.

The Producers Alliance has always looked at the screenwriter union with a down-to-earth attitude, but it doesn’t feel like it can make a fuss. Think about it, the screenwriters are on strike and they don’t have a job income. There are so many screenwriters at the bottom, how long can they last?
