Speaking of the movie "Midnight Express", although Wu Cheng can be sure that he has not seen it before, he is a little familiar with its name, and he can't remember it for a while. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unless you go to the memory tree and search for it.

According to several elements of the script, Wu Cheng carefully browsed it, and finally closed the script and said with a smile: "Very good script, although the box office may not be excellent, but it has the potential to win awards!"

Hearing Wu Cheng say this, Oliver couldn't help but smile, slightly excited, and said, "What does the chairman mean, you can shoot?"

"Do you have a suitable director? Why don't you try it yourself?"

"I, no, no, no, I, I can only be an assistant director! With my strength, I am not qualified for the role of director now...... "Oliver obviously has little confidence in his own strength, or is very self-aware, knows what kind of ability, what kind of thing to do. "As for the director, I think Director Parker who filmed "Home Alone" is good!"

Wu Cheng nodded and said, "Then notify the CAA brokerage company and let them operate!"

Shirley Lansing said on the side: "Boss, this kind of small-cost film, our own company can operate, why do we have to go through their procedures to increase the cost!"

She didn't know why, she just wasn't a little happy.

After all, after CAA has cooperated with DreamWorks, it has now begun to cooperate with other film companies, and the effect is very good. But the problem is that the cost of the movie has indeed increased a lot. Shirley just wasn't very happy, and those unnecessary costs were earned by them.

Wu Chenghe chuckled and said, "What? Aren't you willing to be a little more relaxed? How much can we save by leaving these preparations to CAA?"

"I know that, too, but I just can't see the smug face of Ovitz's bastard!"

Wu Cheng laughed when he heard this: "People are like this, under the scenery for a while, it is inevitable to be proud!"

In another time and space, Ovitz won't understand until he becomes president of a film company in the future and encounters a waterloo. But by then, it was too late.

When he wanted to go to glory again, he realized that the opportunity had been lost.

The times are no longer his times!

But no matter what, that guy has indeed been proud in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years, and people do have proud capital, so if you don't accept it!

"BOSS, it's not that I want to speak ill of him! I think, if it goes on like that, CAA will be very dangerous!" Shirley frowned lightly, shook her head and said: "Hollywood, it's not just CAA, but CAA's behavior is the enemy of the entire film industry!"

When Wu Cheng heard this, he was stunned, and finally shook his head and said: "No, Lan Xin, you think too much! CAA is not an enemy of the entire film industry, but a part of the people, and another part of the people. In fact, what really feels depressed is just the bosses of those film companies, and they don't have much to do with other people. And the happy people are those filmmakers. So, although CAA's actions have made many studio owners unhappy, it can't stop it from moving forward!"

If it can be stopped, it will be impossible for CAA to reach that height in another time and space!In fact, Lan Xin also knew, but she was a little unhappy and nagged Wu Cheng.

Oliver on the side was a little puzzled, Wu Cheng was the boss of the film company, and he knew that what CAA did would make the boss of the film company unhappy, so why did he cooperate with them? Could it be that the boss of CAA is also Wu Cheng?

Give the script of "Never Look Down" to Oliver, ask him to take it back and let the screenwriters of the screenwriting team polish it again, and then contact the screenwriter of this book to buy the script.

"In addition, the script of "People and Ghosts Are Not Over", you should polish it as soon as possible, I need to shoot as soon as possible, and after the polishing is completed, it will be handed over to CAA to operate! In addition to this, there is also the "Fifty Times of First Love", which can be filmed this year. If you add "Never Look Down", Oliver's "Midnight Express", and Stallone's "Bad Alley", then we have six movies to be released in DreamWorks this year, I think it should be enough!"

"Chairman, what about "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Forrest Gump"?" Oliver couldn't help but say: "I think that although those two scripts only have an outline, if they are filled in and polished well, their selling points will be better than other scripts!

"I'm going to shoot these two scripts after their novels are published, that is, next year, and the year after. Because this year, our DreamWorks already has two films that have the potential to win awards, and if these two films are filmed again, it will be a waste of resources!"

"Is the boss going to shoot it himself?" asked Shirley Lansing with a smile.

Wu Cheng smiled: "It depends! If I have time, then I will definitely shoot!"

Wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity not to make an award-winning movie? If you have the opportunity to gain prestige in North America, that's also good. Moreover, he has not seen many movies that have the potential to win awards. In addition to those special effects blockbusters, such as big ship films, such as "The Lord of the Rings".

However, when will these special effects blockbusters have to be filmed?

Therefore, before that, it is also necessary to brush up on the prestige here.

Although you don't have to win an award, the question is, if you have been making films as a director, if you have not been able to win the award, even if you think it is nothing, what will outsiders think?

Now Wu Cheng understands a little why many directors will fight all the way to the end with those grand prizes, it is completely a matter of face!

Being in that position, sometimes even if you don't want to, you'll be forced to go down that path.

So, knowing that such a movie can win awards, why don't you make it?

In addition to these movies, Wu Cheng also thought that Spielberg's future "Saving Private Ryan" seemed to have won an award, and the "Smell and Know a Woman" starring Al Pacino, who played the leading role in "The Godfather", also won the award.

Wu Cheng feels that in the future, he can make one movie a year and make all these movies.

He didn't believe his luck would be worse than Martin Scorsese!

This guy has been attacking the Oscars since the 80s, and every time he is nominated, he unfortunately encounters a stronger opponent, and then it is tragic.

It wasn't until the 21st century that he finally won the Oscar for Best Director with the opportunity to remake "Infernal Affairs", which can be said to be a completely tragic figure!

If he also becomes like Martin Scorsese, then he will directly have a movie with Oscar winning potential every year, and I don't believe that the stubborn old men of the Oscars will be able to hold up.

Thinking of the funny part, the corners of Wu Cheng's lips couldn't help but rise slightly.

However, this smile fell in the eyes of the two subordinates, and it was a confident smile.

Looking at Wu Cheng's confident appearance, the two subordinates were also full of enthusiasm. With such a leader, you are definitely not afraid that there will be no future!

Oliver had also received an invitation from Martin Scorsese to come over to help, and Oliver was also very impressed. But if you want to stay at DreamWorks, you will have the opportunity to direct your own films. Look at Stallone, don't you get the opportunity to direct?

Anyone like that can get such an opportunity, and Oliver believes that with his own ability, he will not be able to fail it in the future.

You know, DreamWorks is famous for promoting new people!

Those who have learned about Wu Cheng's deeds will find that whether it is DreamWorks in California or Donglong International in Xiangjiang, many young people can be promoted quickly.

In other words, in Wu Cheng's company, it is not about qualifications, only about strength!

Therefore, such a company is the easiest company for talented young people to get ahead.

Many companies in North America will not give such an opportunity to young people, and if young people want to get ahead, they can only make independent ~ independent movies, and after they make a name, they will give you a chance. But the premise is that you have to make a name for yourself, you have to find an opportunity.

But under normal circumstances, where is it so easy for newcomers to attract investment?

So Oliver felt that he was lucky, came to DreamWorks, and soon became the head of the screenwriting team, and now he actually got the position of assistant director...... If he is willing, it is not impossible to get the position of director.

It's just that he also knows that this is his chance, but he may also plant a big root because of this opportunity, so for the sake of safety, he still pulled Parker in.

"Okay, let's get to work!" Wu Cheng clapped his hands, got up and said, "Oliver, go on, the screenwriter team can't reveal the plot of the script at will!"

"The chairman can rest assured that the screenwriting team has signed a confidentiality agreement. ”

"It's better to remind you!" Wu Cheng smiled: "Be careful, there's no big mistake!"

"Okay, I will!"

……

After leaving DreamWorks, Mr. Wu sat down with Mr. Smeth, from Michigan, and chatted for more than an hour. Most of the time, it was Wu Cheng who sat there quietly and listened to the white gentleman in his thirties explain his views there.

Wu Cheng occasionally interjected a sentence, of course, he occasionally interjected, and often pointed to the key point. In fact, Wu Cheng is a layman in the car industry, and he doesn't know how to pretend to understand.

Didn't anyone say that life is like a play, it's all about acting! If you want to be a cow, you have to be able to pretend to be better!

With Wu Cheng's net worth and those legendary experiences, even if he really can't, just sit there and pretend, and others will definitely not suspect that he doesn't understand anything (to be continued). )
