Chapter 188 Escort
Mori Jun was carried to the hospital for treatment for three days, and then he was recalled to RB by his family, and he no longer threatened John.
Ariana has also disappeared without a trace since she was knocked by John with a brain crash, as if she had never appeared.
John didn't care about her, it was rare to be clean, and he wanted to take advantage of this time to enjoy his vacation in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas is not only a gambling city, but also an entertainment capital, where cabaret shows, magic shows and circus performances are very famous, the famous magician Lance Burton often performs here, and the world's famous singers are also proud to be on the stage of Las Vegas, so here you can not only see the magic tricks, but also see the superstars, which is why many people who don't like gambling choose to come to Las Vegas for vacation.
Just like John, he came to Las Vegas to see magic shows and circus shows, he had never seen a circus show, he watched opera the most, of course, if a person led a monkey to jump around the street, and added a little boulder on his chest, and made copper coins in the oil pot, and spew flames in his mouth, then he had seen one or two shows on the street in his previous life.
While John was enjoying his vacation in Las Vegas, thousands of miles away in New York, Charles Rockefeller was talking to a middle-aged man at Miramax Studios.
"Mr. Delabant! I am very satisfied with your adaptation of the script. Charles said as he put the script in his hand on the table, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said straightforwardly. "But I'm a little apprehensive about your personal directing experience. ”
Hearing Charles say this, Frank Derabont, who was sitting opposite, had a slight change in his face.
In fact, he wrote the script a year ago, but the reason why he never started filming was because he failed to get the filming funds, and everyone didn't look very well with his directing experience, so no one was willing to risk investing in him.
Now that he finally has someone who is interested in investing, Frank Darabont naturally doesn't want to miss it, so as soon as Charles's words fell, he smiled. "Mr. Charles, your concern is right, after all, tens of millions of dollars of investment is involved, and if I were you, I would be suspicious. ”
Frank Delabante took his coffee and moistened his throat, as an editor, his language organization skills are better than many people's, and his words are naturally more beautiful than many people's.
Taking a sip of coffee, Frank Darabont gently placed the cup on the table and continued. "Mr. Charles, although I am an editor in Hollywood, I have always been learning directing skills, and I know that you must have known me before you came, so you should also know that I have also tried to make two films in the past few years, although one is a short film, but the "Buried Alive" shot the year before last was still good. ”
Charles nodded, he did investigate Frank Darabont and knew how Buried Alive would perform in the market.
Frank Delabant, seeing Charles's appearance, felt that there was a joke and continued. As a director, I may not be as good as those famous directors, but as an editor I know my work better than anyone else, and as a fan of Stephen King novels, I can use the language of the lens to reflect the core and essence of Stephen King's work better than most. ”
The technical differences can be learned, but the ideological realm cannot be filled, which is why Charles does not want to replace Frank Darabont, of course, this is not to say how high Frank Darabont's ideological realm is, but because he knows the depth of this script that no one else can match.
As Frank Delabante said, although his shooting skills are not as good as those famous directors, those famous directors do not know the script as well as he does, and understand the core and essence of the film.
And this gave Charles a bit of a headache, the core idea of a movie is very important, but if there is no skilled shooting technique, it will not be able to use the lens language to reflect, and the technical aspect is precisely Frank Delabant's shortcoming, which makes him very difficult and does not know how to choose.
"Boss!"
Just when Charles had a headache, Harvey Weinstein, who was sitting next to him, interjected appropriately. "I think we can hire a famous director to escort and act as the executive producer of the film, so that not only can we make up for Mr. Derabont's shortcomings, but also ensure the quality of the film. ”
Frank Darabont heard Harvey Wienstein say this and gave him a grateful look.
Charles was also eye-catching, and it was indeed the best of both worlds. "Then who do you think should be the executive producer?" Charles felt that this kind of professional question should be left to professionals.
Harvey Wihenstein must have a good vision to go from an unruly gangster to the CEO of a production company, otherwise he wouldn't have thrived in such a high-risk industry.
Harvey Wienstein heard Charles's inquiry, pinched his chin and pondered, filtering the famous Hollywood directors one by one, and then looked up at Charles. "Boss, I think Stanley Kubrick is a perfect fit for the executive producer position. He is not only a highly respected master director, but also a recognized philosopher of film, and I think his extreme pursuit of cinematic language and unique narrative style are perfect for our film. ”
"Yes, you can. Charles thought for a moment.
Although he was very new to the film industry, he had heard the name of Stanley Kubrick.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Charles said and glanced at Harvey Wienstein.
"Okay, boss, I'll go get in touch with Stanley Kubrick in a minute. Harvey Wienstein replied.
Charles nodded, then looked at Frank Darabont to the side. "Mr. Derabont, I'd like you to listen to Director Stanley Kubrick more technically, is that okay?"
"Absolutely. Frank Delabant's face flushed, and he almost jumped up from the couch in excitement.
Being able to learn from Stanley Kubrick was something he couldn't have imagined. Who is Stanley Kubrick? This is a master, not to mention a novice like him, but also top directors like Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese, who have a lot of respect for Stanley Kubrick.
As soon as he thought that he was about to be escorted by a master director, Frank Drabont was very excited, and he was more confident in the filming of the film, he was a little unconfident about taking this film to the Oscars, but now with the help of Stanley Kubrick, he felt that the little golden man was already beckoning to him, and his directorial career was about to usher in a brilliant page.
