"Wake up, Alfonso Cuarón is here with his agent. ”

Zhang Chu, who was watching the "Gladiator" movie in the system, felt that someone was shaking his body, so he could only pause the film at this time and launch the savior system.

There is a relationship with the speed of time, he has recently become more and more fond of watching movies in the savior system, and it has only been ten minutes in the real world after watching a movie.

No, if you give him another two minutes, you can finish the rest of the twenty minutes of content!

Zhang Chu opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, what do we need to do?"

"Meet with them and hear what they have to say. Alfonso probably didn't want to take on the project, and he has recently been keen to shoot a Chong Olympics movie, which was forced by his agent. ”

As they spoke, a staff member knocked on the door and came in, reminding them that they were ready to go to the conference room.

Now Zhang Chu is very accurate in positioning himself, that is, he came to see the excitement, and Universal is definitely not willing to reach out and act on his behalf, even if Chris seems friendly and kind now.

In the conference room, the Oscar-winning director looked peaceful, and his somewhat ironed gray hair made him look a little vicissitudes, and the director, who was never messy in film style, deliberately pursued the artist's raunchy style in terms of styling.

If the hair is a little longer, the face is a little thinner, and the Mexican accent is a little more restrained, it's basically Tim Burton.

"Good morning, gentlemen!" After Chris shook hands with Alfonso Cuarón and others, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Chu and said: "Both, let me solemnly introduce to you, this is Zhang Chu, the author of the "Lord of the Rings" series, and one of the producers of our film, who will participate in our project discussion today. ”

Zhang Chu stretched out his hand and shook hands with Alfonso and his agent Tony Jackson and said, "It's nice to meet you, I've seen a lot of your videos." ”

"It's a pretty amazing set of works, I don't think Middle-earth feels like a fantasy at all, it seems like you're part of the Fellowship of the Ring. Alfonso complimented, "It's amazing just to imagine it in my head." ”

In the face of the praise of the Oscar director, Zhang Chu did not feel fluttering, because these words were actually said to Tolkien, and they could not be attributed to himself.

Tony Jackson's face doesn't look very good over there, it's not aimed at Zhang Chu, it's purely because of the director under him.

After winning the Oscar for Best Director, of course, there are countless projects coming to the door, which will inevitably be picky and selective, but there is no eye-catching one.

Fortunately, at this time, Universal Pictures is secretly recruiting directors for the "Lord of the Rings" series of movies, saying that it is a secret, but in fact, everyone in the industry knows it!

The agent considers the earning ability, and the maximum salary for shooting a literary film may be 3 million US dollars, but if you direct a commercial blockbuster, 10 million US dollars is just the foundation, and there must be an additional global box office dividend clause.

Finally, the competition here came to an end, but Alfonso Cuarón had another idea.

won the Oscar for Best Director, of course, you have to return home!

So after almost 20 years in Hollywood, I decided to go back to my hometown of Mexico to make a film, to make a film like a personal memoir.

Tony can't stop it at all, but he has already talked about the final stage with Universal Pictures, even if he wants to give up, he has to come in person, saving the entire agency from being blocked by Universal Pictures, and the impact will be too bad!

When Alfonso Cuarón told Chris about the situation, there was silence in the room, and everyone was frightened by the commotion, for a strange reason, but it gave enough face.

It's a good thing that the first-line director came to apologize in person, not an email or a phone call.

The previous greetings were almost taken seriously, but they were just polite, and it was estimated that they didn't have it at all!

"It's good, it just helped us reduce one option, and then let's choose one of the two, I hope no one will continue to quit. ”

Chris didn't know what to say, he shook his head and said, "Maybe he doesn't like this, artists do." ”

"Maybe our movie can also be Olympics, and it can be operated when the time comes. ”

"The Lord of the Rings" on Earth is a frequent visitor to the Oscars, especially "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" is exaggerated with 11 nominations and 11 awards, and all the awards are won!

Now Chris is quite surprised by Zhang Chu's self-confidence, the difficulty of the Oscars is extraordinary, he doesn't expect commercial films to win the Oscars, to see if there is a chance for technical awards such as visual or editing, sound effects, and soundtracks.

The door is not open, and this is not a wonderful sign.

Zhang Chu sat in the conference room and didn't move, anyway, he had to come over later, so he simply took this opportunity to finish reading "Gladiator", so that he would have a more intuitive understanding of Ridley Scott.

"The Lord of the Rings" is very different from "Gladiator" and cannot be confused, but Lei Lao's skills can still be seen from some of them.

There is no doubt that Gladiator is an epic film of grandeur, well-made, almost recreating the glory of the Roman Empire, and it does not dwell too much on historical details and religious topics.

The majestic arena, the magnificent war, and the heroes who are brave and good at fighting all have a different charm and sense of heaviness under his lens.

In the movie, whether it is the battle of the army in the forest or the fierce gladiatorial battle scenes, it is very realistic.

When there was a war between the Germanic tribes and the Roman legions, the roaring Roman cavalry, the black-pressed armored infantry, and the rockets fired by bows and arrows, and the burning forest, these images were very visually impactful!

If it is applied to "The Lord of the Rings", it is actually much the same, except that the warring sides need to be turned into fantasy races, which are also cold weapon war scenes.

If Zhang Chu is a video website editor, it is completely possible to edit the two movie pictures together without too much sense of disobedience!

Ridley Scott is also strong in action scenes, presenting the competition of cold weapon warfare in light and shadow in all aspects.

At this moment, Zhang Chu decided to support Lao Lei, maybe when this series of movies ends, he can also help him realize his dream of the Oscar and get the best director.

"If this project is launched, it is estimated that Lei Lao will have no time to do the rest of the projects in recent years, and his films are really one less to watch, and they must be cherished!"

Chris didn't know that in such a short period of time, Zhang Chu's personal tendencies had changed so much.
