Lights... Camera... ACTION!!: A Hollywood Quest

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Hi Magoose here one of the guys helping Duke.

So we have some bad news.

The quest has been canceled as duke does not want to write it anymore.

I'm going to ask if I can take over for it, because I like this quest, and it would be a shame to kill it
TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands. :)

To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.

I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.

I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.

I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all. :D

I'll see you all around.

With so many regards, Duke William Of.

Alright can we can it with the PRC & Hong Kong debacle? The geopolitics of this matter is out of our hands & quite frankly this argument's getting out of control.
 
Can you explain to me how putting a film campus there will prevent any of that from happening?
Better than your plan to sit and wait for 4 years before trying to do anything. I'm not comfortable giving the Chinese time to take the opportunity to crush Hong Kong. At least with the film campus, we make the statement that we are not gonna lie down and let the Chinese simply walk in.

Agreed! Let's instead talk about...

About...

...What movies we're going to film in 1982! Yeah that's it. :V Since most of our directors besides Raimi and Craven are going to go on break, we're going to need to make sure our films for 1983(made in 1982, released in 1983) are as optimized as possible.

We keep bring up geopolitics because the 'be water people' continue to believe they can disuade China getting HK and MC by building a campus in their backyard and entering a competition with the CCP.

Buddy we're a director and actor, We all want to save HK and MC but we can't. That is the painfull truth and deluding ourselfs will not help us, at best we can encourage migration to the US.

Edit; I'm going to bed

Oh we can do migration? Cuz the way Fanhunter696 stated, he wanted to just wait for 4 years to do nothing, and I thought that also meant leaving the people of Hong Kong and Macao to hang and dry.

What scripts due we have again? Because I'd like to get The Playground off the ground by next year, but beyond saving Taxman Cometh, Tijuana Takedown and The Bros until then, I keep forgetting what we actually already have written.
 
It DOES give china more to think about, given the track record LucasArts have.
What the f*ck are we then supposed to do? That China would leave HK and MC alone was a miscomunication and building a campus would provoke them to attack Bruce his family/friends and HK/MC.
Their options would be limited. China has already tried to target us in the US, and it went POORLY. And outside, we are already a target.
The ccp have put a kill order on Bruce.

That is something ducking incredible because last I checked, most nations don't publically reveal who they want to assasinate.

Well the thing is, we did that by accident… plus you know. It's not like we're a government spy.

Now for China… they uh… are actively threatening the goose and his family. Bruce will not take that lying down.

All I'm going to say is that China does not care about where you are. If they want to try and kill you they will keep sending people to kill you.

They really are that afraid that one of our movies will start a revolution that will see them removed from power and are doing everything in their power to stop that.

Including trying to kill Bruce.

But after this fiasco, America is off limits.

As for America retaliating… well it's company buissness and they will play a spy game.
We are Public Enemy Number 1 to China. At the end of the day, it might be worth it to reciprocate i by setting up a campus in Hong Kong as retaliation. Expanding business and sticking a middle finger to china at the same time. They want us dead either way, the only difference is that we are bringing the threat to their doorstep in response.


Also...
Any base outside the US may need beefed u security, given the wording here
Including trying to kill Bruce.

But after this fiasco, America is off limits.
Edit:
...And it's possibly a little late... 😅 :oops:

Yeah, maybe we should divert topic to something less contentious.:facepalm::oops:

Off the top of my head, there's the first Prince of Persia script, the Shining... I have a really bad memory, so that's all I can say. :V

Though, if my newest pitch Dark Waters is added to our list of possible pitches, I absolutely hope we can get it going in 1982 with Craven at the helm. Raimi works too, though.

Well, I already nentioned that we should do Dune with Francis Ford Coppola, so that's one already.

We can do the Shining in 81' with Wes Craven directing. If we do Dark Waters, then we should also then continue with our line of movies based on the Original Brothers Grimm tales, but darker and for live action. I think we have Hansel And Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, and Snow White covered there.

Since you were the voters for my plan, I wanted to ask of all of you if you're fine with me tweaking the plan to have, instead of the CIA, have a boosted security force since that is the major point of contention against the plan as it stood before the autosuccess reward?
Yea no problem

.What movies we're going to film in 1982! Yeah that's it. :V Since most of our directors besides Raimi and Craven are going to go on break, we're going to need to make sure our films for 1983(made in 1982, released in 1983) are as optimized as possible.
There's the movie for Carrie and her Mother, and I'd like to do The Playground as that'd be a movie of ours Mary can watch no problem.
 
My idea for Bruce's participation in 1981 at least is spend late winter early spring producing Kung Fu Kid with John G. Avildsen as Director. Dude did Rocky and Karate Kid, he's the one guy in Hollywood I can trust with martial arts and personal sports stories.

For Spring we film Rocky III as the replacement for Clubber Lang with Zade's (Although maybe it was Nova's) suggestion of modeling our character after Conner McGregor. Then in the summer and fall we round things out with directing Killer Queen for Debbie and it'll be a nice chance for Carrie to have another nice starring role.

1982 is obviously Empire Strikes Back, and in the second half of the year we can probably do a Clint film or Playground.

*psst* you meant Karate Kid
Clubber Lang with Zade's (Although maybe it was Nova's) suggestion of modeling our character after Conner McGregor.
Nah, it was mine.

I'm partial to a Clint film, personally, but that's just me.

Honestly, I still really don't like the idea of anyone else being the one to direct Kung Fu Kid, but I think at this point, the circumstances are just too against Bruce. Really sucks too, it would have been an excellent way to wrap up the Bruce Lee grief.

Well at the very least we helped Brandon by guiding him to become an upstanding young man and a responsible person who will continue his father's work with honor and probably be pretty well adjusted in later adult life, so I'd say that's more than helping to close the grief.

Le Sigh, makes me wish that it was the Soviets or Scientology who did the break in. When the future second superpower becomes your enemy that really limits a lot of business and creative potential.

At this point it would be best to hope for Magoose Dice to have the Tianamen Protests transform into a full blown democratic revolution.

If anyone has any ideas for a movie about the Chinese Civil War or a historical China film about overthrowing a tyrannical dynasty I'm all ears. I suspect that due to recent events, that the plot of Indiana Jones Two will feature the Soviets and Red Chinese as the bad guys.
 
We could do a Movie and/or book for Sea of Thieves about Zheng Yi Sao
Yes.

I mean, the timeline works out almost perfectly since the OT (Turner-Swann) took place roughly fifty years prior, and we get to see what kind of changes Elizabeth [as Pirate Queen of the South China Sea] made to the region.

Wait, I just remembered, we're in June/July, so we should be getting new scripts this turn.

Hopefully there are good ones we can do with either Raimi or Craven for next year.
