Chapter 772 - The Chosen Hollywood Director (Ask for Subscription)

"Finished!"

When Xu Yuan shouted these two words, the actors in the crew burst into tears again.

No questions asked, it's finished!

After Chen Peng's story, Li wanted to support the side, and in order to save people, he was buried in the Snow Mountain.

The couple he saved had a child named Zhang Guoguo.

Zhang Guoguo is played by Zhang Zheng.

In the temptation of interests, and the suspicion that he fell into the trap of being kidnapped by justice, he finally remained sincere and reaped a bumper harvest in his career, as well as the gratitude of the quadruplets he rescued.

He insisted on himself, regardless of the West and the East.

Different films have different themes, and the actors who shoot it will have different experiences.

If it is an idol drama, then after filming, the actors will at most have some aftertaste of the entangled love between the male and female protagonists, and may develop several pairs of celebrity couples who have become acquainted with each other because of the drama.

If it is a war movie, then the actor's patriotic feelings will definitely burst later.

is shooting a commercial war film, so the actor will have a new understanding of the competition in business.

If you shoot a film that exposes some of the dark sides of society, the actor will also be disturbed by these negative emotions to a certain extent.

And Wuwen Xidong is a film about inheritance, in which you can experience the greatness of the motherland and the struggle and efforts of the great people of that generation, which will have a certain impact on the actor's future views.

You can't tell what he passed on, but you will always understand something in it.

......

At night, Xu Yuan was preparing to rest.

His partnership with Lionsgate has taken a new step forward.

Moreover, Lionsgate also brought in Universal Pictures to cooperate with Xu Yuan's latest movie.

This movie, a bit like a biography, simply tells the story of a person's life.

There are many such movies in crooked fruits, but there are relatively few in China.

Maybe compared to growing up and growing up, from big to old, there are some things that Chinese people have always avoided.

After all, old age and death are already very close.

In Eastern culture, death should not be mentioned.

In this drama, there are many characters, but in addition to the protagonist, even the heroine does not have many roles. It's not a literary film, but it's very literary. It's not a commercial film, but it's good at the box office.

This is a very classic movie, this is the story of a fool.

But I saw a group of fools crying and infected countless fools.

This kind of stupidity is not derogatory stupidity, but frank stupidity.

This movie is called "Forrest Gump".

But this movie, not just "Forrest Gump", is also the first and most important step in Xu Yuan's education of Fox.

Tick tick!

Xu Yuan's phone rang.

The news he had been waiting for came.

I found out that Universal's current contract director Robert Zemeckis worked with Fox in his early years, and a "Emerald" became his famous work and won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. "And in fact, because he shares the same name as Robert Fox, the current president of Fox, they used to have the name of Brother Robert." ”

It's just that Robert didn't control the power of Fox at the beginning, and Zemeckis lost money one after another, and was finally swept away by Fox and taken in by Universal. ”

After filming his other masterpiece "Back to the Future" trilogy, until now, he is one of the great directors of Universal, but his contract with Universal is about to expire. ”

Considering that he has not achieved anything over the years, Universal has no plans to renew his contract. ”

The relationship between the director and the Hollywood giant has always been very memorable.

The giants try to control the top directors, but the real top directors are often not controlled by them, and the two are always in a game, and few end up in the same way.

Because in the later stage of development, the big director and the company itself will become opposites.

The director asks for more remuneration and shares, and the company gets less.

Directors want a lot of investment, but what company doesn't want to control costs?

Once the director is famous enough, he wants to pursue the award. But most companies pursue profits, and only at certain special times will they pursue award-winning movies and gain fame.

In short, even if the director is also a senior executive of the company, there will still be a huge difference between the two.

This is also the reason why Xu Yuan and Lionsgate's cooperation has always maintained a certain distance.

If there are conditions, the director establishes his own company, which is the most reliable. But the scale of this kind of company is difficult to achieve the top, and the six giants of Hollywood are too much, how can they let others rush in.

"I have evidence that Zemeckis is actually a barbed wolf, and his biggest purpose in going to the world is to bring down the world. Although he does not have such power, under his influence, Universal has indeed lost a lot in recent years. "He has a close personal connection with Robert Fox. If I had to give him a career, I think a spy director would be the most suitable. ”

"This time, Universal took the initiative to join Lionsgate and your cooperation, and it is said that he pushed it forward. He'd love to work with you once, maybe to pull you into Fox, maybe it's ...... Destroy you. ”

When a consortium acts, there will always be a plan B.

The front foot just arranged someone to assassinate Xu Yuan, and the back foot immediately recruited Xu Yuan, there was nothing wrong with it, and it was completely in line with the conspirator's operation process.

"I hope this barbed wolf director can cooperate with me a little. Xu Yuan hung up the phone, and then dialed Kobe's phone, "Hey, sorry, I forgot about the jet lag." But even so, you should get up, after all, you're the man who sits on a pheasant at four o'clock in the morning. ”

"Okay, without further ado, what are their requirements for this cooperation with Lionsgate and Universal? You know, I won't give them too much space in terms of capital, I have to make the most money. ”

Lionsgate, Universal, Fox, these companies that have not done well in recent years, are very interested in participating in several very successful productions. Even if you don't earn much, you can transfer it on the one hand.

On the other hand, it can fool many shareholders who don't understand anything, so that the company can suck a wave of blood again, so as to invest on a large scale again and create its own successful movie.

"We've talked about this before, over there, you can even take nothing, they urgently need a film to rush to Chongxi. "Kobe Bryant knows a lot about Chinese culture," but they have one request, which is that they want their director, Zemeckis, to be involved. ”

"Why?" Xu Yuan pretended not to know.

Kobe Bryant said: "Pure distribution is definitely not enough, they want to participate in the production, of course, it is good to say, they are conscious." ”

Xu Yuan nodded and said, "Then it's no problem, I plan to hit the awards for this film." If I were to direct, I was afraid that it would be a little bit hot, so I originally planned to find someone to be a director. I need a deputy. ”

Bryant was stunned.

Named director?

Zemeckis?

It's kind of interesting!
