086 It's not easy to fool
Los Angeles, USA.
Sitting in a café on the streets of Hollywood, watching the people coming and going, Wu Da felt that he didn't need to go into the cinema at all to see a human tragicomedy.
There are smiling people, wearing suits and leather shoes, pretending to be successful. There are those who have lost their souls and lost hope, and they are ready to commit suicide when they return to the hotel.
Of course, there are also beautiful women of all colors and types who come to try their luck. I am eager to have a little secret that I can't tell with a certain producer and director, and by the way, I will make some small names and make some money.
Especially at the next table, they have only known each other for a few minutes, and they have already agreed to love each other forever.
Wu Da didn't mean to look down on that beauty, because he was also here to try his luck, and he also hoped to have some activities to enhance friendship with a certain producer and director, and he couldn't say who was high or low.
People still have the body as capital, it seems to be the three measurements of the alphabet, and the oversized career line all show that people's competitiveness is super strong.
What do you have?
In addition to a worthless script, there is also a little bit of the aura of "super dark horse screenwriter", which is not worth mentioning!
No, that guy Robert, who got a little golden man, didn't take the Kim McGee from afar in his eyes, and played a big name.
When I asked about his personal phone number, I actually said that I had just taken a job, and I really couldn't catch up with the schedule, so I had to say sorry to "Mr. Kim McKee's masterpiece".
You are a Bichi, just a little famous, you dare to lose face with your master?
In the future, don't think about taking a good book from your master, and be your third-rate director for the rest of your life!
Since then, Robert has really never had a big production and no famous work.
When someone asked the reason, he just smiled bitterly and said an oriental idiom "creation makes people". If you don't talk about anything else, you won't talk about killing you.
Don't dare to talk nonsense!
Wuda didn't bother to talk to this guy who was destined to be abandoned, and made another phone call to Cameron. Just said two words, "Forrest Gump, Kim McGee", and Cameron came running in a hurry.
Ever since Robert's guy got a "magic pen" script, his mentality has drifted. The feelings of family and country and historical responsibility are not mentioned to the mysterious Kim McKee.
No matter what other people tried to inquire, he said, "That's my friend from afar." ”
Some people wonder how far away is this place? European, Middle Eastern, or simply those in Russia who "admire the civilized world"?
It's not that no one thinks about Asia, but they immediately correct their "wrong" thinking.
How is it possible that an Asian can have such an accurate grasp of the history and mentality of my lighthouse country?
Cameron is also an ambitious man — in Hollywood, that's called careerism.
As a Canadian, I won the Saturn Award in the United States in my thirties, and it seems that I am only one step away from that little golden man!
Guess what, Cameron wants it or not?
Of course Cameron wanted it, and he was going crazy, but he couldn't find a suitable script. If you don't have a good script, you have great ability, and you can't make a good show.
Although there was really no way, he also went into battle himself.
But Cameron knows that it's okay to engage in science fiction with the little thing in his head, and if he wants to play something elegant and high-grade, it's not that piece of material.
Cameron, who has a super sense of smell, has long been eyeing the mysterious Kim McGee. It's not easy to get the news, just one day or two of absenteeism, it's a fart!
I've got to find him!
Just like a bloody drama, Cameron searched for a long time in the agreed café, and he didn't see a person who matched the image of the famous screenwriter in his mind.
People like that kind of penmanship must be very artistic or hippie Europeans and Americans.
There is no shortage of people in cafes. It looks like it's an artist, but it's actually a piece of rubbish that has been made up of art.
As soon as Cameron arrived, he received a large wave of hot eyes, and a few "hospitable" girls were already like dogs seeing something, eager to try, ready to launch a fierce scramble at any time.
These goods, Cameron often sees, will never be stupid enough to think that they are the same Kim McGee. With that ability, whoever is sitting here has long been robbed of Hollywood's gluttony.
After looking around, there was a new face, still a yellow race. Right now, the yellow man was waving to him.
It can't be him, right?
Cameron sneered to himself, but still greeted politely, "You're Mr. Kim McGee's assistant?"
"I'm Kim McGee. ”
"Oh, are you Japanese, or are you Korean?" Cameron smiled, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just used to getting to know it." ”
"No, I'm Chinese. ”
"Oh God! It's so unbelievable! You're actually a Chinese?"
Wu Da didn't bother to discuss with him the superficial question of why Chinese can't write American dramas, and went straight to the point: "I came today to have a script for you to see."
If you think it's okay, we can find a secluded place to talk. If not, I'll talk to Spielberg. I think he still has a vision. ”
It's all old foxes, and Wuda's little agitation method doesn't work at all.
Cameron smiled slightly: "I think the reason why Mr. Kim McGee found me first must be that he thinks that I am the most suitable person, right?"
Who said that Lao Mei can't play with her heart, this trick is very skilled in retreating!
Wu Da didn't intend to deceive people: "Because this movie costs a lot of money, the production is also very difficult, and the cycle is long, without a director with enough courage, it can't be controlled." In a sense, you are the most suitable person. ”
Listening to Wuda's roundabout sycophant, Cameron also smiled very arrogantly: "My movies have always been big productions. I'm just afraid that your so-called big production is only a million dollars. ”
"No, no, no, a million dollars is not enough for my manuscript salary, how can it support a cross-century masterpiece. ”
"Uh......"
This time it was Cameron's turn to be embarrassed, although there seemed to be a little contempt for the poor ghost hidden in his words, but he never imagined that this poor ghost would dare to open his mouth.
A million dollars, even his remuneration is not enough? Are you a manuscript paper, that is the green "Franklin"?
No, Franklin isn't worth as much as you!
Last time, Robert gave 500,000 yuan, which is already the standard of remuneration for first-class playwrights, is it not appropriate for you to double it all at once?
"Suitable, suitable. Wu Da took out only half of the script and handed it over, "If you read it and feel that it is not worth the price, you can refuse me at any time." And I promise, it's also a good way to win the Academy Awards!"
Money doesn't matter, it doesn't matter to Cameron, and it doesn't cost him money anyway. However, that little golden man, he has coveted it for a long time.
As the script unfolds, Cameron is soon immersed in the magnificent tragedy. The poignant love also made Cameron, an iron-blooded tough guy, experience the excitement of an emotional drama.
"OK, I want your script. We can go to the company at any time to sign the contract, and as long as you take out the second half of the script to ensure the quality of the work, we can transfer money to you. ”
"I don't want money!"
"Gold, diamonds, oh, I see, you want art to avoid taxes, right?"
"I don't want any of this, I want to talk to your boss about something, and I need you to introduce and convince your boss to show enough sincerity. ”
