105th Emperor Pictures Company (Part I)
Jennifer Aniston was born in California, with half Greek blood and Italian, Scottish, Irish and other mixed ancestry, very sweet.
She entered the drama school at the age of six to study acting, graduated from a drama school in New York a few years ago, and began her acting career in the 90s, and has filmed several TV series such as "Our Days", but it has been tepid.
Last year, her agent helped her get a new job filming a sitcom called "Friends" for NBC, in which she played Rachel, a pampered woman who ran away on her wedding day.
Anyone who has read Friends knows that the story is set in a circle of friends in Manhattan, New York, and the six leading actors are data controllers, chefs, the head of the museum's paleontology section, actors, masseurs, and café waiters
The TV series describes the emotional ups and downs, karmic twists and turns, joys, sorrows, and sorrows that occur in the daily life of the six young people, and the details of their lives are quite real, which deeply attracts many audiences.
The ratings of each season are in the top ten of the year, and the finale has created a single-episode rating record of 53 million people, and has been nominated for Emmy Awards 62 times, and in 2007, it topped the list of the top 100 American dramas selected by the American "TV Drama" magazine, and is a well-deserved king of sitcoms.
Of course, these are things that will happen later, and Jennifer doesn't know at the moment that the editor lost the film of a clip in the sixth episode, and called two days ago and agreed to make up for it today.
She had some anxiety on her face, although the audience reviews for the trial were very good, but NBC only signed a contract with them for one season, and it was right to say that it was a long drama, but if the ratings were not high, it could be cut by the TV station at any time.
With "Friends" just over two months to go, Jennifer is both worried and happy, with tens of thousands of actors in Hollywood, it is not easy to star in a TV series.
When Han Xuan was bored in college in his last life, he watched "Friends" twice before and after, and although the plot of "The Big Bang Theory" that took over from it was not bad, it was still a little worse than it, and there was also a "Two and a Half Heroes", but unfortunately it was unfinished, and the previous shooting was quite funny, and after changing the starring role, it could only be supported by the previous popularity.
There are many plots in "Love Apartment", which can be found similar in "Friends", to put it bluntly, it is exactly the same, the screenwriter is really trouble-free, and if you change the time and place, it will become your own thing.
Jennifer's hairstyle is very recognizable, and it was once popular all over the world, Han Xuan didn't dare to confirm that it was her who passed by the window, but then he thought that this was Hollywood, Warner Bros. and NBC Television were nearby, and she was not famous yet, so the chance of meeting her was not impossible
Guo Muzhou said it well, seeing that his grandson was actually distracted, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was angry, walked up to him, slapped the boy on the buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "What do you think? ”
"It's okay, I seem to have seen a star just now. Han Xuan replied.
"What's this, throwing a brick on Hollywood Road, smashing ten people, eight of them all claiming to be actors, I've seen a lot in months. ”
A male secretary knocked on the door and came in and handed him a document, Guo Muzhou took out a pair of silver-rimmed reading glasses and put them on his face, flipped his fingers, and said in his mouth.
"Actually, they are no different from ordinary people, the day before yesterday I met Shange Yunton on the road, he liked Bruce Lee when he was a child, he trained a muscle, I gave him the business card, maybe I can contact him in the future. ”
Han Xuan walked over and hung on his arm, and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
"Contracts, contracts with 20th Century Fox, you have to be prepared to deal with these big companies, and I asked three experts in this area to work together to write a share contract. ”
"20th Century Fox didn't agree at first, they didn't give in, I won't give in, and if you have money, you can't invest in movies?"
"Last month, the truck driver made a batch of props for the film, and before the filming started, the money was spent like water, compared to other film companies, our emperor is small and rich, so they came to me, and this time it should be almost possible to reach a cooperation. ”
Guo Muzhou had a headache when he talked about movies, and muttered in his mouth: "I'm not worried about the rest, if you dare to cheat me to go to the court to drag them to death, now it's just a matter of the shooting team and a good script, and if a company doesn't have a famous movie, it will never become a climate." ”
When Han Xuan saw his grandfather's appearance, he felt a little unhappy, he was full of running trains, but he left him in an unfamiliar industry, and it was not easy for him to get into the film industry.
Brought a stool and sat across the desk: "What movies are there on the market right now? I'll see what I like." ”
"In five days, Paramount will release Forrest Gump, Columbia Pictures will release Stephen King's novel of the same name based on The Shawshank Redemption in nine months, and I've heard that New Line theaters are negotiating a release date for "Stranger in Disguise", which is estimated to have been set. ”
Guo Muzhou really worked this business, his eyes looked at the contract, and he read out a few names that made Han Xuan's jaw drop in shock.
"Walt Disney will release 'The Lion King,' Warner Brothers will air 'Born Born to Kill' in August, 20th Century Fox will soon release 'True Lies' by a trucker, and that's what I remember, and there are a lot of small companies, and if I want to know, I'll ask my secretary to find information. ”
I don't know what to say, so many well-known films actually appeared in 94, Han Xuan didn't know about the film industry, or the first time he knew about this kind of thing, every movie is big fat, except for "Natural Born Killer" was drowned in the ocean of history, the others have influenced generations of young people, if you hang the logo of Godgate Pictures on the title......
It's a pity that these movies are all famous, and I suddenly remembered the "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" that I watched with Anya in New York, and I didn't hear its name just now, with a hint of hope, Han Xuan asked his grandfather in a whisper.
"Well, it was shot by a European director, right? Some time ago, I heard that the distributor was in contact with Columbia Pictures, but I don't know what happened now. ”
The boy excitedly found a pen and paper, wrote down the first name in his notebook, and asked, "What else? Are there any independent films that have not been released?"
"There are so many every year, who remembers, wait a minute, I'll still let people send the information over, keep talking, and I can't read the contract anymore. ”
Guo Muzhou muttered, thinking that the boy just thought it was fun and satisfied his curiosity: "At the Cannes Film Festival in May, there was a film that won the 47th Palme d'Or, called "Pulp Fiction", which seemed to be filmed by American director Quentin Tarantino, and there were many people who contacted him, but the price was too high, and it should not have been sold yet. ”
Han Xuan didn't say a word, and met a classic work again, with the impression that "Pulp Fiction" is the masterpiece of the ghost Quentin, and the original soundtrack of the movie is even more speechless, if "The Shawshank Redemption" is a popular classic, "Pulp Fiction" is definitely a classic that belongs to fans.
Speaking of now, only this movie is the most certain, Han Xuan is not afraid of the high price that Quentin wants, he is afraid that he will not sell it.
Dimen Pictures is currently the most lacking in fame, and it has to make money at a loss.
