Chapter 423: It's None Other Than Him
"I like this story very much," Karen Carpenter, who finished reading the script, had a lot of light in his eyes: "It's a very novel angle, and the structure of the story is also very complete, especially the setting of this robot returning from the future to the present to hunt down humans...... God, this is just amazing! I think it will definitely attract people to the cinema to watch such a good story, I don't know how to say, but I don't think it should be a big problem to break 100 million at the box office. ”
Chen Geng smiled and nodded: "I think so too." ”
Of course, he has full confidence, in the case of the producer's production budget being stretched, the distributor paying extremely little attention to the early stage, and the male and female protagonists and directors have no influence in the American film industry at all, "Terminator 1" has achieved a box office of more than 78 million US dollars, which shows the strength of the film itself and the great attraction to fans. Generated over $130 million in total revenue, that's a lot of money!
And now, his own film and television production company has become quite well-known in Hollywood with the two movies "Bodyguard" and "Ghost Love", and Karen Carpenter has also become a famous song and film star of Hollywood with "Bodyguard", with considerable popularity and a certain box office appeal, coupled with a good cooperative relationship with Twentieth Century Fox, although he does not dare to guarantee that he produced this "Terminator" can win the top three at the box office, but it's absolutely no problem to mix in the top ten of the annual box office list.
"I'm playing, Mr. Fernandez, when is this movie going to start? Well, who are you going to use for the actor?" said Karen Carpenter impatiently, not even asking about her salary.
"In such a hurry?"
"I love this story so much, I can't wait to see it on the big screen now," Karen Carpenter nodded vigorously, almost impatiently asking Chen Geng, "Can it be next month?"
For Chen Geng, there is no big problem with whether the project was approved a few months earlier or a few months later, but since Karen Carpenter is already so impatient, he doesn't care: "Next month, right? ”
"Yes! That's great," Karen Carpenter suddenly hugged Chen Geng excitedly, and kissed him on the face: "Honey, I love you to death." ”
"Hehe......"
Although he knew that Karen Carpenter's action was purely uncontrollable, it felt good to be "sneak attacked" by a beautiful woman, Chen Geng touched the cheek that had been kissed by Karen Carpenter, and he was in a very happy mood, especially when he knew that Carpon Carpenter was still a devout Catholic.
Well, Catholicism, which developed from Christianity, strongly disapproves of premarital sex @ and regards it as a serious sin, in the eyes of Catholics, premarital sex @ is a violation of the Ten Commandments, if you have premarital sex and do not repent to the priest and ask for the Lord's forgiveness before you die, you can only go to hell after death, and there is no way to return to the arms of the Lord - at this point, is it very similar to us in this era?—— in this ****, Sex @ In the open American society, Catholics are simply the clear stream of the clear stream, and for a Chinese man, it must be a pleasure to be kissed by such a beautiful woman who abides by chastity.
At the very least, it's much more enjoyable than being kissed by a "bus".
"In terms of the actor, do you have a suitable candidate to recommend?" Men are so unproductive, and after being "sneak attacked" for a while, Chen Geng consulted Karen Carpenter's opinion.
"What do you think of Bruce?" Knowing that Chen Geng seemed to admire Xiaobu and had been promoting him, Karen Carpenter talked about him first.
Chen Geng shook his head: "Bruce is not suitable for this role, he is not cold enough." ”
Karen Carpenn nodded, she actually felt that Xiaobu was not very suitable: "That...... O.J. Simpson?"
"He's too handsome," Chen Geng shook his head again, "Do you think it's appropriate for such a handsome person to play a ruthless robot killer from the future?"
"It's not quite right," Karen Carpenter thought for a moment and nodded, "That'...... Do you have a suitable candidate?"
"What do you think of Arnold Schwarzenegger?"
"Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is this guy?" Karen Carpenter looked confused: Hollywood celebrities, whether you know them or not, at least I have heard their names, but where did this guy named Arnold Schwarzenegger come from?
Karen Carpenter didn't know the governor's name and it didn't surprise Chen Geng, but to Chen Geng's surprise, Richard Carpenter actually knew, and he interjected: "That guy, I know." ”
"You know?" said Karen Carpenter, a little surprised.
"Well, that guy is a bodybuilder, he seems to be quite famous in the bodybuilding world, and he has published books to teach people how to exercise," Richard Carpenter said: "He has also been in Hollywood all these years, and he wants to become a big star, but he has not been able to become popular, and can only play some very small roles." ”
"Mr. Schwarzenegger is not very famous in the bodybuilding industry, but very, very famous," Chen Geng said with a smile: "Just this year, he also won the title of 'Mr. Olympia', which is the seventh time that Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger has ascended the throne of 'Mr. Olympia......"
Seeing that Karen Carpenter was still a little puzzled, Chen Geng explained: "Oh, 'Mr. Olympia' is the highest honor in the global bodybuilding industry, and all people engaged in bodybuilding are proud of being "Mr. Olympia", just like Hollywood stars are proud of winning the Oscar. ”
"It's equivalent to winning seven Oscars in the bodybuilding world?" Karen Carpenter nodded again and again with a sudden realization: "Then he's really amazing, but ......"
Although she didn't say it, Karen Carpenter's "......" made her concern very clear: Mr. Fernandez, do you think it's too risky for a ninth-rate actor who has been in Hollywood for many years to play a lead role in a film that may cost more than $10 million in total production?
Knowing that Karen Carpenter is actually well-intentioned, he is worried that his investment has gone down the drain, and to be honest, with the governor's current position in Hollywood's ninth-rate small role, in the eyes of anyone, it is either crazy or stupid to let such a little-known guy play the leading role in such a big production.
But Chen Geng has Chen Geng's reason, the reason is that in the eyes of any Terminator fan, "The Terminator" without the governor cannot be called the Terminator at all, so in the face of worry, Chen Geng just smiled and said: "In this way, let our Mr. Schwarzenegger come over and put on makeup, and you will know why I think he is the most suitable...... In my opinion, there is no one more suitable for the role than Mr. Schwarzenegger. ”
"Is that so?"
Karen and Richard are both half-convinced, neither brother nor sister believes it, as for Mirren, she has now formed a kind of honey confidence in Chen Geng, as long as it is Chen Geng's decision, he never doubts, since his boss said that this Arnold is Mr. Wazenegger is the most suitable, then he must be the most suitable, so ......
"Sir, Mr. Reynolds called me two days ago, hoping to take a stake in our next movie, ...... you watch" She cautiously asked Chen Geng for instructions.
"It's fine. Chen Geng thought for a moment and nodded.
In order to make Twentieth Century Fox do more, it's time to give them a little more sweetness.
————————
After receiving a call from Mirren, Kevin Reynolds came to Chen Geng's place as quickly as possible.
How fast?
After checking the flight information and finding that the most recent flight was not until 11 o'clock tonight in Detroit, he called the chairman directly and applied to use the company's business jet - in the past, he would not dare to hit the company's business jet anyway, but this one, he was confident and confident.
Not surprisingly, after knowing that the reason for using the plane was that Fernandez Chen was planning to start a third film and that he could consider a stake in Twentieth Century Fox, the chairman approved Kevin Reynolds' request to use the plane, and it was the company's only business jet...... Before that, Kevin Reynolds thought that the company could use the King Air B200 for himself, and he was very satisfied.
............
As for our comrade governor, when he received a call from Karen Carpenter himself, he was stupid, and it took him a long time to put down the call.
Patrick, the agent on the side, had already jumped to his feet in a hurry, saw that he put down the phone, and immediately hurriedly asked, "Arnold, tell me, what did Miss Cullen say, did you invite you to star in his new movie?"
Karen Carpenter, the best singer among Hollywood stars, the most popular in Hollywood among American singers, with a "Bodyguard" quickly from a national flag country music singer to the hottest singer in the United States, compared to the proud and elegant Swan-like Miss Karen Carpenter, his employer is simply a super ugly duckling-like existence, and now, two people who could not have intersected at all have actually been in contact, and they are also swan-like Karen Carpenter. Arnold, whom Miss Carpenter approached...... Nothing so bizarre has ever happened in my dreams!
"That's right! That's right!" Mr. Governor nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "He said that Mr. Fernandez has a movie that suits me very well, let me go over and audition, Patrick, it is a movie invested by Mr. Fernandez, it is a movie invested by Mr. Fernandez, hehehe......"
