Chapter 81: Non-Professional

The crew of "Terminator" has no role suitable for Nicole at all, and if it is only to play passerby A in the movie, it does not fit Jonas's positioning of Nicole at all.

So at the meeting with the crew of "The Terminator", Jonas and Nicole had no desires and performed very low-key.

Jonas brought Nicole with him, just to make her familiar with Cameron, if "Titanic" more than ten years later let Nicole play Rousi, I don't know if it will still be successful.

Her image is in line with the world's public aesthetics, but she is much more beautiful than the shredded meat. The only impression that the heroine left on Jonas was the name of Shredded Meat.

Jonas was very low-key, which disappointed many people, especially the later tyrant Cameron on the set, whose qualifications were obviously not worth mentioning in front of producer Arnold Milkan.

Jonas didn't know much about the powerful producer of the Jewish state, but he was secretly stumbling when he knew his qualifications.

Another film for which he now also serves as a producer is called Once Upon a Time in America.

That movie was shot in Europe, Italy, France and other countries, and without a certain ability, it was impossible to handle the cumbersome shooting procedures.

Jonas doesn't know if his appearance on this set is due to Macridge's help, and his willingness to serve as the film's producer has also boosted Fox's confidence in the film.

What Jonas didn't know was that the producer wasn't easy. In the future, he was a billionaire with a net worth of four billion dollars and confessed on television that he was a Jewish spy.

This is a real-life version of 007, or a very business-minded 007, who has made more than a hundred films and is one of the top ten producers in the world.

He only knows that if he wants to be a producer in Hollywood, he needs to be far more capable than a director.

A good producer must be talkative, able to speak loudly, and be able to speak for more than 4 hours in one go. Otherwise, how can you fool investors, persuade directors and actors, and direct a large group of people to follow them?

It also has to be a litigator, make a plan upfront, settle all the things that don't go according to plan in the medium term, and fight and litigate later – knowing the relevant laws and understanding all the laws that are not relevant.

And then it has to be a money junkie. Not only will you ask for money, but you will have to spend money. It is necessary to have a strong financial ability to do what should be spent and the province of the province.

You need to know the proportion of funds allocated to directors, cinematographers, lighting, art, costumes, makeup, and props, and even how much a screw costs.

Therefore, although Hollywood is a producer, Jonas has never wanted to be a powerful producer, he simply does not have the ability.

It's just that when Milkan attacked some of Cameron's whimsical designs, Jonas couldn't help but say a word for Cameron. "Mr. Milkan, you're an expert in making films, and I shouldn't have said much, but I personally think that this film is full of James' personal touch, so we have to keep James creative space in the middle of this film. ”

He paused for a moment and asked, "If you follow the director's intentions and ignore the actual difficulty, this will cause the cost to rise." ”

"That's why we have this kind of pre-shooting exchange meeting to solve practical difficulties, isn't it?"

Milkan nodded, much to Cameron's delight, as it was almost the first time the producer had backed down.

This kind of behind-the-scenes communication is very cumbersome, and Jonas just sees the minutes and gets a headache.

He never imagined that a movie would go through such a complicated and cumbersome process to be made, and any mistake in the process could cause the film to fail.

Just to determine the lighting and camera position of a lens when shooting, it is possible to quarrel for a long time.

He doesn't understand the film industry at all, and the only thing he can do is his memory and feeling of the whole movie, so he has decided that he will only be responsible for digging holes in the future, regardless of burying people.

He only singled out the script, and he didn't care what it was like.

At the end of the morning session, Jonas insisted on not attending the afternoon session, despite Cameron's offer.

His suggestions for this film have all been expressed, and it is useless to stay here.

What's more, he does have the right reasons, and there are other scripts to discuss.

However, Milkan was obviously interested in him, and said with a smile: "I know you have also picked out a few scripts to discuss with the Fox Investment Production Department, and I am also very interested in the script of the "Field Platoon", tonight, if I have time, how about I go to the international apartment to meet with you?"

Jonas didn't know who he was behind the scenes, and he was trying to get closer to such a shrewd producer.

In Hollywood, many big producers are no weaker than a studio, and many times, the studio is still weak.

Jonas only handed over the script to Michelle last night, and he knew the name of the script that Jonas picked out today, which shows that he has a lot of influence in Fox Films.

He nodded and said, "In Hollywood, I'm just a newcomer, and I'm willing to learn from seniors like you." ”

Milkan said: "In Hollywood, I was also a newcomer, and I was attracted to him as a Kaizi at first. ”

Jonas shrugged his shoulders in an American manner. "It must be an interesting story. ”

"I'm also happy to share my experience. Milkan looked at Nicole and said with some regret: "If it was a few months earlier, there was a role in "Once Upon a Time in America" that was very suitable for your girlfriend, and now, you can only wait for the opportunity to work together in the future." ”

After a month with Jonas, Nicole is not as superficial as she was at the beginning, and she knows very well that she can settle in Hollywood not because of her beauty and acting skills, but because of the support of Jonas and her son.

Hearing Milkan's compliment, she said with a little reserve: "I really hope this day will come soon, from Australia to Hollywood, I am a newcomer." ”

She didn't show herself in a hurry, because as long as she and Jonas didn't separate, there would be more opportunities in the future.

Moreover, the right role that Yannick promised has also been confirmed by Michelle, and now she has not the slightest worry.

She also picked a movie script with a suitable role this time, and the role was very outstanding.

Jonas didn't have lunch with the crew because he had already made an appointment with Alain Ryder.

Nicole paid more attention to this meeting, and after returning to the hotel, she went back to her room and dressed herself again before coming to the restaurant with Jonas.

Since the two met, Jonas has only taken Nicole to see two movies, never bought a gift, and never even gave flowers once.

At this point, he couldn't compare to Hannah, who helped Nicole order two dresses while she was still customizing clothes for herself.

However, Nicole would never have thought that Jonas didn't like her and didn't love her.

Because Jonas gave her hope and gave her a chance.

Just like this time when she was introduced to the president of Fox Films, this is the opportunity that countless teenage girls crave. This is also Bjonas who gave her a hundred bouquets of flowers, and invited her to eat more than he could compare.

Adelaide had long been instructed by Yannick and was well aware of Nicole's relationship with Jonas.

When I saw Nicole for the first time, he, a veteran who had read all the flowers, couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Nicole is very white, but not that pale, white and red, delicate skin, full of nobility.

Nicole has a good figure, although she is not a cow, but she also has lines that make all men excited, and a woman of this size will not look abrupt in any movie.

Especially Nicole's cold temperament, coupled with the delicate nature of a girl, these two temperaments are fused together, which is enough to attract the vast majority of men in this world.

As soon as he met Nicole, he was full of confidence in her future prospects. If it weren't for the fact that the film production company couldn't sign people directly, he would definitely sign her like Paramount signed Audrey Hepburn.

The only thing that made him a little dissatisfied was Nicole's height, one meter eight tall, and few male actors could play with her normally!

introduced Nicole to Alain Ryder, and the two exchanged a few words, and Alain Ryder brought the topic to the movie "Longwei Kid".

"Jonas, the script of "Longwei Kid" has been shelved for you, and now, you recommend Nicole to play the female lead, why don't you consider playing the male lead?"

"I don't think I can play a good role as a Luther, and besides, I really don't know anything about acting, and I have no interest, so I can only live up to your enthusiasm. ”

Seeing that he couldn't convince Jonas, Alain Ryder said: "I read all the three scripts you picked this time, I read them all this morning, except for "Field Platoon", which needs to be filmed overseas, and the cost is relatively high, and the other "Spring is Not a Reading Day" and "Wonderful Detective" do not require much cost, according to my preliminary estimate, they should all be filmable." ”

The influence of "Field Platoon" is undeniable, it is one of the best war films of the 80s.

The name of the script of "Detective Change" was originally "Beverly Hills Super Detective" Jonas was unimpressed at first and didn't pay attention to it at all.

When Nicole read the script, she was a little surprised and asked why a movie had a black man as the main character, which attracted Jonas's attention.

Looking at the script carefully, isn't this Eddie Murphy's "Wonderful Detective", the film did not have a great impact in Asia, but in the Americas, it caused a sensation and was not even inferior to "Star Wars".

In Hollywood, black male protagonists have appeared since the fifties, but most of them also have a white male lead, and there are very few films that are entirely dominated by black people except biopics.

In the early 80s, racial discrimination was still rampant, and there were only a few black people in Hollywood who could play the main role in movies.

The film not only set a box office record that year, a model of Hollywood action comedy, but also made Eddie Murphy a superstar.

So realizing that it was this movie, Jonas immediately picked out the script.
