Chapter One Hundred and Seven: Yu-Gi-Oh
On May 1, "Field Platoon" was completed, and Bird Film and Television held a simple director's press conference for Oliver Stone in the Philippines.
I wanted Charlie Sheen and Oliver Stone to be interviewed together, but after learning that the other party and others were crying with joy and leaving the "Field Platoon" crew, Lester had to ask the "Die Hard" crew to stop filming again and run to be interviewed with Oliver Stone.
The producer and the director were promoted together, which made the reporters who came to inquire excited.
News conference......
"Director Oliver Stone, I heard that when you submitted this script, you were rejected by many film companies, is it true? The female reporter reached up to Oliver Stone with the microphone and talked about the obstacles he had encountered.
It's no secret in Hollywood, and it's easy for journalists to dig in.
Oliver Stone nodded, agreed with the reporter's words, and then waved his hand at Leicester and said: ""Field Platoon" can be started, thanks to the support of Mr. Lestrorley, to be able to go from filming to completion." ”
Seeing this, the reporter who was interviewing Oliver Stone picked up the microphone and stretched it out to Lester, who was being interviewed, and the male reporter sent from Chicago asked: "Mr. Lesterore, on what basis did you decide to invest in "Field Platoon"? ”
Lester smiled and did not answer this sentence, but said: ""Field Platoon" is not boring at all in my opinion, and the scenes directed by Oliver Stone are grand and shocking, and the art is different from the previous war films, which are worth watching." ”
The reporters looked at each other, a little speechless, Lester was so respectful, they wanted news, but Lester came to use propaganda to deal with them.
Oliver Stone didn't expect Lester to be so optimistic about "Field Platoon", and he complained a little in his heart for a while: "The film hasn't been edited yet, but what you said is out of the blue." ”
The reporters who came to interview did not give up on changing the topic and chatting with Lester.
"Mr. Lester, there is a newspaper report that you and the singer Madonna walked out of the hotel room one after another, and then she joined the crew of "Die Hard", but there are some secrets in it. A sharp voice sounded in the crowd of reporters, and the others looked over in ignorance.
I saw a male reporter in a shirt holding a microphone in front of Lester, with invisible anticipation and cunning hidden in his eyes.
"Big news. ”
The reporters came back to their senses, looked at Leicester with boiling, and asked enthusiastically: "May I ask Mr. Lester, what he said is right." ”
"The topic is off topic. Lester didn't expect the other party to break the news of this kind of topic at this time.
looked at each other, only to find out that wasn't it the paparazzi who hid that day and took pictures after he came out?
If Lester hadn't been shrewd, he wouldn't have been spotted at the time.
"Boss, there's still an hour left for the plane to take off. "When the assistant came to Leicester, he reminded;
Hearing his assistant's words, Lester looked at the reporters who asked him to reply: "I am friends with Miss Madonna, and I reported our relationship earlier, she entered "Die Hard" because she performed very well in the audition and was hired by the crew, I hope you don't misunderstand." ”
That...... The reporters continued to ask, and Lester took the first step to apologize: "This interview is over, thank you for cheering us." After saying that, he turned around and left. ”
Lester didn't say anything about Madonna, but the shrewd reporter knew how to write it, Asuka Film and Television ended the interview, and the reporters also left the place where the crew of "Field Platoon" was
Oliver Stone took the filmed film and Lester on a plane back to Los Angeles.
As soon as he got off the plane, Oliver Stone didn't wait for a little time, so he rushed into the editing room with the filmed film.
Lester got off the plane and was just about to rush to Fox Plaza, when Chris called him to ask him to come to Bird Films, and he rushed to Birds Films.
In the Asuka comic room, Chris showed Lester a report with a report.
The newspaper above prominently stated the publication date of "V Vendtta": 1982-1985, and the follow-up was not completed.
"Mr. Lester, the V-Duty Squad you gave me is very similar to the one they published, and the copyright union has registered the name of the comic, and if it weren't for the company sending an investigator, I'm afraid we would be entangled in a lawsuit. Chris said with a solemn look in his eyes;
The opposing party's Vendetta was released in black and white in Warrior magazine between 1982 and 1985, as Warrior magazine was canceled and there was an entire episode left unreleased.
Lester's writing is very similar to the prequel published in Warrior magazine.
Chris decided to stop painting and publication in order to avoid being sued, and informed Lester to see what he had to say.
Plagiarism incidents in Hollywood have often happened, and Chris will not ask too much about whether his boss has plagiarized them.
Putting the newspaper on the table, Lester said, "Then give up this Vendetta comic." ”
Chris breathed a sigh of relief, he was most afraid that Lester would resolutely issue it, which would lead to a lawsuit against the company.
"Now that V-Word Vendetta has been abandoned, shouldn't we release those who contributed it by the way? "Chris came up with an idea that the Bird comics had never been able to do.
In the two years since its establishment, Asuka Comics has been publishing comic scripts written by Lester and comics such as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Transformers" and "Watchmen" by Lal and Eastman, and has not yet tried to release comics by other writers.
"That's a good idea. Lester agreed with Chris to release the works of other comic book authors, and when he thought of the rise of the yen, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he said to Chris: "You go to my office, there is a copy of the "Yu-Gi-Oh" manga script and character art I drew in the drawer, and you can distribute it here in RB and North America."
Chris was slightly stunned and hurriedly asked, "You've already drawn it." ”
Yes, Lester nodded and suggested, "You can find a comic book publisher to distribute it on RB first, and then distribute it in North America." ”
"I'll go right away. Chris got up and walked to Lester's office.
The "Yu-Gi-Oh" comic is known as the top 10 most money-absorbing manga in history, ranking seventh, Disney Animation is ranked first, and Transformers is ranked second.
Leicester didn't want to let go of such a top 10 comic, and it was just right to release it at a time when the yen was rising.
Chris got the script and character drawings of "Yu-Gi-Oh" and immediately instructed the manga artist to start designing the drawing.
Leicester stayed at Bird Films, had lunch, drove back to rest, and rushed to Fox Square at six o'clock.
Fox Plaza, the crew is arranging the models that are about to be filmed,
Bruce Willis looked at the model and quipped to Aaron Rickman, "That's tall enough for us." ”
Alan Rickman shrugged his shoulders and picked up the latest newspaper on his desk and looked at the news reported on it.
"It's time for both of you to put on makeup. ”
Lester came to the two of them and reminded.
Hearing Lester's words, Aaron Rickman put down the newspaper and Bruce Willis went to put on makeup.
The filming process of "Die Hard" has started again...
