Chapter Eighty-Eight: Finished

Lester, who returned to the crew, took Robert Jr. and others to shoot everywhere in the UK, and finished filming the last few scenes, "The Biography of Chaplin" was officially completed in early December.

"You're not going to the finale. Richard Attenborough asked as he watched Lester pack his things;

"No, you guys are there at the finale banquet, and I'll go back to editing. Lester packed up his things and said, put away the filmed film, took out the booked ticket from his pocket and shook it: "I wish you all a good time, my afternoon plane ticket, I'll go first."

As he spoke, he took the black leather bag in his hand and left the crew.

"Where's Lester!" asked Robert Downey Jr., as he walked in and saw Richard Attenborough alone.

"He's gone beforehand, let's celebrate the finale ourselves!" Richard Attenborough was a little helpless.

"Get used to it, others are like that. Robert Jr. comforted Attenborough and turned to his own business.

On the plane, Lester left the UK and flew back to Los Angeles with the filmed "Chaplin" film.

When Leicester began editing "Chaplin", Oliver Stone came to the reception room of Asuka Films with a script.

As the production manager of Asuka Films, Dimes naturally had to come over to see the script when someone came to pitch the script, especially the director with whom Oliver had worked with him.

"Field Platoon. Dimes flipped through the script to tell the story of a naΓ―ve recruit who was assigned to an infantry detachment and was on a mission with other fighters, and he quickly understood the harsh reality that "the only reason to fight is to find a way to keep himself alive."

After reading it, Dimes didn't express any opinions, looked up and said: "Do you plan to shoot yourself or find someone else to direct, how much do you need to invest in it." ”

"I'm going to shoot it myself, and the budget is six million. Oliver Stone said eagerly, staring at Dimes wistfully.

The competition of Hollywood giant film companies is huge, and there will be people who vote for scripts every day, hoping to get financial support from film companies, and it is very difficult for new directors to get tens of millions of units of funds, and it is possible that the funds will be broken during filming, resulting in the inability to shoot.

Coming to Flying Bird Film and Television to find investment, Oliver Stone is interested in Lester's investment in new directors, from the previous invitation to direct "Wall Street" and investment in Robert Zemeckis to shoot "Back to the Future", it can be seen that he only looks at the script and does not care whether the other party is a new director or a famous director.

Six million shooting funds, it's really not much. Deems looked at the story in the script and commented: "The story of your script is too depressing, and the plot of the war is very cruel. ”

With these two words again, Oliverstone's face froze, and his longing eyes gradually lost their brilliance.

A few days ago, Oliver Stone took the script to look for several major film giants, but they were all rejected for investment on the grounds of "too cruel" or "too depressing". ”

Looking at Oliver Stone's languishing look, Dimes thought for a while, this looked like a boring script, he couldn't decide, seeing that the other party had worked with them, help him, and said: "I can take it to the boss to see if he decides to invest, if the boss doesn't agree, I can only give up your "Field Platoon" script." ”

Oliver's eyes lit up, his eyes reappeared with longing, and he said, "Then please." ”

"You wait. Dimes left the reception room with the script.

"Is the boss in the editing room?" Dimes knocked on the table as he passed the assistant desk, asking the female assistant on the platform.

"In. The female assistant pointed to the editing room and gestured;

"Make a new cup of coffee for Mr. Oliver in the reception room. ”

"Okay, I'll go. ”

Dimes instructed his assistant to get a new cup of coffee, and walked into the editing room with the script himself.

After a dazzling array of films and machines, and lifting the obscured doorcloth, Lester was playing back the unedited "Chaplin".

"Something. Lester stopped editing and looked at Dimes as he came in.

Generally fine, Dimes rarely came to disturb him, and only came to him for things he couldn't decide.

Dimes put the script in front of Leicester and said, "Mr. Oliver has put in our company's script, you can read it." ”

"The script of "Field Platoon". Lester picked up the script, saw the storyline in it, his eyes lit up, and said: "How can such a good script not be invested, you go and reply to him now, we have invested in Bird Film and Television, and the producer can hang my name." ”

In just one minute, Lester didn't even think about the cruelty and depression in the script, and made an investment, Dimes was slightly surprised, and reminded: "This is about the Vietnam War, can the film succeed?"

Dimes had the same thoughts as other company executives, who felt that the script was too depressing.

"Believe me, this "Field Platoon" still has an audience. ”

Lester had already said so, and Dimes was not refuting it, taking the script and going out. "Wait a minute. Lester stopped Dimes and said, "When you're done with Oliver, go to my office, and in the drawer there is the script for the Baywatcher TV series that I wrote, and start looking for someone to shoot and cast." ”

"Okay. Dimes nodded, taking the script and looking for Oliver Stone.

In the reception room, Oliver Stone was anxiously waiting for Dims, and he felt that the wait was too long.

"Click!"

Hearing that the door was opened, Oliver Stone looked at the people who had come in with a look of longing in his eyes.

Dimes walked over and sat opposite, and said in Oliver's expectant eyes: "We invested in "Field Platoon", Mr. Lester decided to be the producer of this film, come and sign the contract the day after tomorrow!"

Oliverstone's face was happy, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said excitedly: "I'll go and prepare." said that he couldn't wait to prepare for "Field Platoon". ”

Dimes watched Oliver Stone leave Bird Films, got up and walked into Lester's office, opened the drawer as Lester had said, and a thick A4 paper was neatly placed in the drawer.

Taking out the script, Dimes watched it curiously, and after reading it, the same words that came to his head came to his head: "The boss is a script written by fantasizing about going to the beach and having fun with beautiful women."

Dimes wanted to think about it, but he didn't dare to ridicule Leicester and took the script to form the crew of "Beach Rescue".

The report after the filming of "Chaplin" was also reported by entertainment reporters through the hands of Richard Attenborough after the finale banquet.

However, the general ones are not very optimistic about Lester's literary film "The Biography of Chaplin".

Looking at the entertainment media newspaper sent by the assistant in his hand, Lester is still on the side if he doesn't take it seriously, whether it's good or not, it also depends on the audience's reaction, the 21st century has only become a classic movie, and Lester doesn't have much hope for the box office, this is just a movie made to help friends,
