Then, after a few days of screening and exploring the resources in hand, Cooper quickly helped Faisal pick out three films that were well worth investing in.

"With my decades of experience in Hollywood, I can swear by my life that all three films have the potential to win Oscars!" Cooper confidently put the scripts of the three films on Faisal's desk.

"The first "Changing the Script" is also called "The Orchid Thief". It's a very brain-burning script, and the Oscar jury will be very interested in this genre. If it's a vulgar director, it's possible to make such an outstanding book into a mess. But as I understand it, the director has already set Spike Jones. He was once nominated for the Oscar for Best Director for "Puppet Life", and I think such a script will definitely bloom in his hands. ”

Seeing that he didn't react, Cooper added: "In addition, the actors they have confirmed are all heavyweights, such as Nicolas Cage and Meryl Streep. ”

"Streep?" Faisal was intrigued, "I know her, she's a very good actress, and I love the role she plays." ”

Seeing that the boss liked it, Cooper introduced it vigorously.

"Yes, that was a very outstanding actress and I think she should have gotten more attention. And the movies she took on are very standard, from this point of view, I think they should pay more attention to this movie. ”

Faisal nodded, agreeing with him: "This is okay. How much do I need to invest?"

Cooper was overjoyed: "It doesn't take much,"

"No problem, let people talk, make the movie as soon as possible, don't be late. ”

"Leave it to me, it's never too late. Cooper gladly took on the task, and he wouldn't let go of opportunities like this to broaden his network. In Hollywood, investors are the most popular group of people, and investors like Faisal who only seek to win awards and don't even care about the box office are even more popular. He is generous to others, and he also wants to use the money to make the other party owe him a big favor.

"If you like Meryl, I think another of her films is also worth considering. ”

"The other one, do you mean it's already been filmed, or is it not ready yet?" asked Faisal.

"Half of the shots to be exact. The film is called "Moment by Moment" and tells the story of three women who are intertwined. Director Stephen Dudley is a very powerful director, and the cast of "All the Time" is also amazing. In addition to Meryl, there are Nicole Kidman and Julian Moore. I've read the script and it definitely has the potential to hit the Oscars!"

Faisal nodded thoughtfully: "Can a half-made film still be added to the investment?"

"Of course! No one doesn't like additional money. They have been scheduled for December 18, but there are still many that have not been filmed due to financial reasons. Now that we're on board, it's going to be absolutely welcome. ”

"Hmm. Faisal was moved by what he said: "I'll read the script first, and if I think it's okay, then I'll put it in." ”

Cooper was a little surprised to see that he didn't directly agree. But now is not the time for him to question his boss, so he continued: "There is one more film, which I think is a heavyweight alternative. ”

His sudden solemn tone made Faisal also serious: "Let's talk about it." ”

"I don't know if you know director Martin Scorsese. ”

"You mean Martin, who directed 'The Last Bull of Christ' and 'Goodfellas'?"

"Yes, it's the great director. You know it's easy to explain, he has been fighting for the Oscars for many years, from being nominated for the first Oscar for Best Director in 81 to now winning three nominations, everyone knows that his biggest wish is to get a little golden man once. This time, his film is called "Gangs of New York", which is about a specific period of time. The Oscar jury is very fond of this kind of dark film, and if there are no surprises, I think he will get what he's always dreamed of at next year's Oscars. ”

"What about the cast?"

"The cast is very strong, with Daniel Day Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz, all heavyweight star actors. Their acting skills are time-proven, and according to my research, they are all very rigorously trained in this film. Diaz, for example, has been learning lockpicking skills from a professional thief for a long time, and the other two have also undergone intense training. You know that the Oscar jury usually has a lot of affection for actors who work so hard. ”

Faisal waved his hand not very interested: "I don't care about those. The only one I want to defeat is Moran!"

"Yes, of course. Cooper secretly squeezed his palm, feeling a little carried away. He hadn't enjoyed this kind of taste for a long time, and he accidentally fell into the memory of the country he once pointed out, forgetting their original purpose.

"I mean, Gangs of New York directed by Martin is really worth considering. It was originally going to be filmed in the New Year, but "Heaven's Gate" that year suffered a terrible loss, and the producers thought it was dangerous to shoot a similar genre again, so they kept it on hold. Or director Martin turned it out again because of his obsession with it. I think that with his vision and his strength, this movie can definitely impact the Oscars. ”

Faisal frowned, acting as if in thought. In fact, this is all a way to control his subordinates, just like just now he was obviously interested in "All the Time" and didn't agree to invest. For those who do things for themselves, they can be given certain rights, but they cannot be given rights above themselves. If you let the people below do everything for you, won't the people sitting in the boss's position be hollowed out?

So now he still doesn't show his true thoughts in his heart, and would rather let his subordinates guess his thoughts than give an accurate answer.

"This "Gangs of New York" has also started filming?"

"Yes, to be exact, the filming has been completed, but because of the follow-up funds, they originally set the file for Christmas last year, but it was postponed to Christmas Eve this year. ”

"Is it really okay? One or two movies that are stagnant because of funding. If it's a good movie, there should be other film production companies to invest in it, right?"

Faisal still knows a little bit about Hollywood. Big production companies are not mentioned for the time being, and B-grade film companies like Immortal Bird are not among them, and relatively normal small companies usually join forces to produce films. In this way, we can use each other's resources and reduce investment risks.
