Chapter 23 Pull Investment
Mark suddenly found out in his conscience and said, "We seem to be cheating on the little girl?"
Megan was very upset and said, "Who do you say is the little girl?" She saw Blake's chest who came with milk tea, and her voice was a little quieter, and said, "I still have the potential to develop." ”
Mark said: "I will show you the drama, although there is a suspicion of selling flowers and exaggerating the fragrance of flowers, but what I want to say is that "Chainsaw" is a good drama and will definitely sell well." ”
Donald said: "Don't worry, she won't read the script, so as not to be laughed at, she will only say yes." ”
Mark said, "Man, are you pushing my gold master out?"
Donald said: "Official? I would prefer her to find a professional to see that the investment of more than two million dollars is not a small amount." ”
"Two million!" Meghan said strangely.
"If it feels expensive, I can find a third party to join the investment," Mark said. ”
Megan said: "It's very strange, my dad gave me and David two million, learn to invest, whatever you do, I just have a headache how to spend this money reasonably." ”
Mark lamented that the children of rich families are rich and capricious, and the huge amount of money of 2 million US dollars is given to children to play, and Larry is a local tyrant and willful, and he lives up to his reputation.
Meghan said: "But you have to set up a film company before I can transfer the money to you, I can invest in the company, Larry will not promise me to invest in a person." ”
Mark said, "0K, no problem. ”
Blake prompted, "Director, it's been three minutes since the break. ”
Mark said, "Thank you, Assistant Lively, two guys, you're out of company, you can do your own thing." ”
Mark and the others walked away to continue filming, and Meghan said enviously: "Look at them, husbands and wives follow them, a good husband and wife, we can too, right?"
Donald said, "Drag racing, alcoholism, and going to the dance hall are not my forte. ”
Megan smiled: "If you don't like it, I can change it." ”
"Everybody has a life they want to live, so why change for the sake of others, why not go find someone who shares the same interests? ”
Megan's face sank, shook off Tang and said angrily: "Why do you always want to break up with me?"
Donald said, "No!" Meghan happily held his hand again, but heard Donald say again: "We haven't dated before." ”
Megan said: "It's not a problem, I like you, you're mine, it's as simple as that." ”
Donald said: "We have completely different personalities and hobbies, we are reluctant to be together, there will be no happiness, and I can't selfishly ask you to change for me." ”
Megan said happily: "I'm glad you think so, so you change it for me, right?"
Donald looked at Mark's busy back and smiled gently: "The last time I changed was for Mark, I will only change for my loved ones." ”
Megan happily said, "I'm very honored. ”
Donald shook his head and said, "We're just friends, go home when you're tired of playing." ”
Megan blinked and said, "But I'm not tired of you!"
Seeing the unhappy look on Donald's face, she said, "It's not fun here, let's go dance, shall we?"
Donald said: "Mark is my brother, he made a movie, of course I came to help." ”
Megan said: "This is the set, why are you dressed like a gentleman going to a party?"
Donald took out a sheet of music from her suitcase, Meghan couldn't read the stave and piano sheet music, it was like reading Martian text, she said strangely, "What is this?"
Donald sings softly, "I've experienced the ebb and flow of the tide,
I've experienced mountain cracks,
It has experienced the boundless beauty of instant destruction.
I've experienced planet collisions,
I have heard the roar of the sea,
I know what it means to lose your only friend?
Nothing lasts forever,
It's like a proverb hovering in my head all the time,
All good things will be destroyed.
You and I are so sure,
Nothing lasts forever,
But perhaps there are exceptions,
This is my eternal love for you,
This is my eternal love for you.
I've seen people who,
Take the whole world into their hands,
Transform it as you wish,
I can feel the earth tremble,
I testified that humans began to walk upright,
also experienced that there is only war left in the world,
Nothing lasts forever,
It's like a proverb hovering in my head all the time,
All good things will be destroyed.
You and I are so sure,
Nothing lasts forever,
But perhaps there are exceptions,
This is my eternal love for you,
This is my eternal love for you,
Nothing lasts forever,
It's like a proverb swirling in my head all the time.
All good things will be destroyed,
You and I are so sure,
Nothing lasts forever,
But perhaps there are exceptions,
This is my eternal love for you. ”
Donald has practiced singing, and his voice and vocal range are good, and his singing voice is frustrated and melodious.
Meghan clapped her hands again and again, this is a song she has never heard before, she prefers to believe that this is Donald for her, to express her affection, she said happily: "You sing no worse than those star singers, let's go to KTV to continue?"
Donald said: "The lyrics written by Mark, the music I composed, with piano accompaniment, is the theme song "Eternity" of "This Man is from Earth". ”
Megan said: "Mark is really a versatile person, which shows that my investment is correct, but I prefer the score you compose, the songs you sing, I want to slap David in the face with facts, you are not a nerd." ”
Donald said, "So I'm here to help." ”
Mark according to Tom's plan, one by one, filming one by one, now all indoor dialogue scenes, although there is no action or difficult scenes, but the acting requirements for the actors are not low, in fact, if Mark has enough funds, he is more willing to invite a group of British stage actors to play, the actors' excellent performances, make the story more brilliant, more entertaining.
Like David Lee, Tony Todd, and John Billings all have good acting skills, John is a resident actor in the popular sci-fi TV series "Star Trek: Enterprise" in the 1234 seasons, although it is a small supporting role, but it is an indispensable small supporting role, although it is with a cameo heart, but they are not lazy at all, the crew did not organize rehearsals, they themselves organized practice and rehearsals, and memorized lines.
They also took the initiative to point out some inappropriate points in Mark's lines, of course, this is some errors in the spoken language and grammar, or some things in the performance that could be improved, and they can see that this is a film that uses storytelling dialogue to advance the plot, so it does not change the main dialogue of the story.
In order to better play the enthusiasm of the actors and explore the potential of the actors, many directors like and encourage the actors to change the script and lines, which is to work together to make the story and the movie better, but this is the work of first-class actors and first-class directors.
Mark didn't dare to do this, and the actors didn't dare to do it, they were all careful to follow the rules, what Mark had to do was to make a perfect copy of the original, a score of 8.4 on IMDB was enough to make him famous, even if he didn't make money, he couldn't be considered a loss, with representative works, he was a person in Hollywood, and in the eyes of others, he was considered to have achievements, qualifications and ability to make movies.
If he directed and participated in the production of "This Man from Earth" even if it was not good at the box office, and had such a good rating, it would be much more reliable to direct "Saw Horror" again.
Because it is a small production, and the time is in a hurry, they only have a one-week shooting cycle, so they can't find fault and keep improving, often after two or three shots, even if there is room for further exploration, it has passed.
The Hollywood producer system prevails because producers can maximize the benefits of production companies and investors, and if everyone is like James Cameron, who repeatedly skips tickets and repeatedly increases budgets, but does not bring amazing box office profits, investors will be dead if they run away.
Mark now has a lot of rich theoretical knowledge, but he doesn't know much about the detailed operation and execution, more like him in 2017, he has seen all the world, knows all kinds of positions and methods, but he hasn't done it, so he tries to listen and watch as much as possible, and try to ask and listen to Tom and Hank's opinions, but Tom has rich experience in front of and behind the scenes
, but there is no successful blockbuster work, and it is also not convincing enough.
In Megan's eyes, this is an unreliable crew, after playing with Donald for a while, she and Blake have no common language, and Blake wears many hats, both to play the beautiful college student Linda, and to help with all kinds of chores, so busy that she has no time to greet her, which makes her feel very bored, stay for a while and leave, Donald stays to help.
Mark now felt that he was short on hand, and he raised his hands and feet to welcome those who came to help, and even Claire just casually mentioned: "I used to be a makeup artist! He unceremoniously asked Clark to be a make-up artist.
Claire complained to Blake, "Can't he hear that it's just polite words?"
Blake, who was sweating profusely, was looking at the clapperboard and said, "Ten minutes later, it would be nice to rest again while the actors were drinking coffee." ”
Claire was speechless, she felt that her speechless daughter had changed her mind a little, and perhaps Mason's concern was correct, and he criticized Tom when no one was around: "Maybe when the movie is made, our little darling will be abducted." ”
Tom spread his hands helplessly and said, "Why are you still acting in his movies because you have such a big opinion about Mark?"
Mason said: "This is because some people do not distinguish between public and private, and use their home as a set, in case he takes the opportunity to touch Blake's room, it will be a big loss." ”
Claire heard Blake say loudly, "It's best not to dissolve instantly, so you'd better act right away." Claire was completely upset and said to Tom, "It's all your stupid proposal to set up at home, Mark treats Blake like a waitress, and Blake treats me like this!"
She has been an actress, has been on the set, has a habitual awe and obedience to the director and the director's assistant, what if she offends the director and is kicked out of the crew?
When everyone is busy, Sophia and David come to the set with a big shot.
