Chapter 554: Forrest Gump's Original Director

"Hey, boss, you suddenly appeared, are you going to check the post?"

Seeing Wu Cheng suddenly appear in DreamWorks and appear in the president's office, Shirley Lansing, the president of DreamWorks, couldn't help but show a surprised expression and joked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Hey, are you scared?" Wu Cheng chuckled and sat down on the sofa in the corner of the office. Not long after she sat down, Shirley's secretary brought in coffee.

"How is the situation of the company now?" Wu Cheng took a sip of coffee and asked Shirley Lansing, who was sitting down in front of him, "How are the films prepared?"

Shirley smiled: "Now the company is running normally, "Rocky 2" is now preparing to start promotion, the schedule of this movie is scheduled for the middle of next month, I wonder if the boss will have time to come over to participate in the premiere at that time?"

"It depends on the situation!" Wu Cheng thought for a while and said, "You also know, I am filming a TV series over there in Xiangjiang, and the filming has not yet been completed, and when the filming is finished, it will have to be produced in the later stage!"

"Okay!" Shirley Lansing shrugged her shoulders, she didn't know what to say when she thought of Wu Cheng running away to shoot a TV series without doing his job. So she directly changed the topic and said: "In addition, the company is preparing for the filming of "Back to the Future", and the protagonist has been determined, which is Tom Hanks. But the director has not yet made a final decision. A rookie director recommended by Spielberg was named Robert Zemeckis......"

Hearing these two names, Wu Cheng's first reaction was, "It's over, they really trained Hanks as a comedian!"

At this time, Robert Zemeckis seems to have just graduated from USCA...... Even if it was recommended by Spielberg, this heart is really big enough!

Uh, no! It seems that this guy filmed a "One Family Fangze" last year, although the reputation is good, but the box office is not ideal.

Speaking of this guy, Wu Cheng impressed him the most, naturally the "Forrest Gump" he made, and this film made him win the Best Director of that year, and at the same time, Tom Hanks won the Best Actor Award again.

"Robert Zemeckis?" Wu Cheng's brow furrowed slightly.

When Shirley Lansing saw Wu Cheng's appearance, she explained: "Although he has made a "One Kiss Fangze" before, although the reputation of that film is good, the box office is not very good. So, we're still hesitant to use him. Of course, he's young, but because you're here, we can't use that as an excuse, can we?"

Wu Cheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and said, "Hey, Shirley, are you slapping your boss's ass? Okay! It sounds really comfortable." After a pause, he said again: "It's been so long, is there no one else to choose the director of the play "Back to the Future"?"

"No, of course. It's just that although there were three candidates before, one did not have a schedule, one was sent by himself, but he had just failed a work before, and one was not interested in this play...... The only one who is interested and has written a note specifically for the script of this play is the little guy who is not favored by everyone. ”

The great director of later generations is now a little guy in Shirley Lansing's mouth.

Indeed, Wu Cheng and Shirley Lansing are qualified to call him that.

Now the only thing he can get his hands on is "One Kiss Fangze", which has a good reputation. So, Shirley Lansing was hesitant to give him the film.

In fact, Wu Cheng felt that Shirley was inclined to exclude him. If he was really willing to hand over the movie to him, he wouldn't need to hesitate so much, and he wouldn't go without looking for Wu Cheng.

It is precisely because he subconsciously did not really want to choose Robert Zemeckis as the director, so she did not mention this matter to Wu Cheng.

It's just that now that Wu Cheng has asked, she naturally won't hide it.

Speaking of this Robert Zemeckis, I have to say that this is a very potential director, not only because he has filmed "Forrest Gump", "Desert Island Survivors", and the digital movie "Polar Express" and so on.

is also because the play "Back to the Future" is also his work in the original time and space.

It's just that in the original time and space, "Back to the Future" was released in 85, and he was naturally more mature and experienced than he is now.

Although before that time, the box office of the dramas he filmed was not very good, but the reputation was not bad. A director who can guarantee word of mouth, as long as he can come across a good script, it is not difficult to win awards or earn more box office.

Therefore, Wu Cheng doesn't mind cultivating such talents.

Originally, he thought that the drama "Back to the Future" would be filmed in this period in advance in this time and space, and the probability of encountering such a thing as the original director should be very small.

Unexpectedly, in the dark, I still linked this director with this play. From this, it can also be seen that Spielberg is still very discerning.

From this graduation short film made by Zemeckis, you can see that this guy has potential...... Sure enough, in the end, they really got the Oscar statuette.

Moreover, he also sent Tom Hanks to the throne of Best Actor for a second consecutive year.

Thinking about it again, the drama "Forrest Gump" is probably not the turn of Robert Zemeckis. In other words, he is ready to take away the honor that originally belonged to this guy, is it now going to take away another opportunity that originally belonged to this guy?

After thinking about it, Wu Cheng said directly to Shirley Lansing, call that little guy here, and he will see him.

Zemeckis was a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and in terms of age, he was naturally much older than Wu Cheng. But when it comes to status, it is difficult for him to pat a horse.

Not to mention that Wu Cheng is the boss behind DreamWorks, let's just say that at his age, he already has several years of directing experience, and he has made a blockbuster and award-winning movie like "Ghost Love", which is not something he can compare with now.

Here, I have to say that at this year's Academy Awards, Wu Cheng released other pigeons again. Although the organizers of the Academy Awards sent someone to invite him and Hepburn before, it is a pity that Hepburn was not nominated for Best Actress, even though DreamWorks has made a lot of efforts for Hepburn's nomination, but the Academy Awards do not seem to give Hepburn any face because of this.

But there is no way, in "People and Ghosts", although Hepburn's performance can be regarded as a three-point score, the heroine's own role is not outstanding, and it is not so easy to be nominated.

Although Hepburn is gone, it seems that those stubborn old men did not give Hepburn any face because of this, and ignored Hepburn very 'fairly and justly'.

Under such circumstances, where are Wu Cheng and Hepburn willing to attend?

Of course, although Wu Cheng was not nominated for Best Director, the film "Ghost Love" was still nominated for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Soundtrack, and Best Editing and other awards. And the two awards of Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay are related to Wu Cheng. Wu Cheng didn't appear, and it seemed a little unreasonable.

But Wu Cheng is so willful, because Hepburn was not nominated, and she was pregnant, Wu Cheng didn't want her to fly around hard, especially because her body bones were not good, and she was a real elderly mother, so she directly put the Academy Award pigeons.

In this regard, there is nothing to say about the Academy Awards, you can't just take away the awards that are ready to be presented to others just because the owner of the family does not attend your ceremony!

What's more, he is not only a director, but also the big boss behind DreamWorks Films. Over the past year, although DreamWorks has not provided many films to North America, the films produced by others are extremely high-grossing films, and they have also made a lot of contributions to the prosperity of the North American film market. This little face always has to be given!

Therefore, even though Wu Cheng and Hepburn were both absent, the organizers still awarded the Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress awards to "Human Ghost Love".

And on behalf of Wu Cheng, it was Shirley Lansing, the president of DreamWorks, who came to the stage to accept the award, which can be regarded as a face for the Oscar organizers, you see, the presidents of DreamWorks have personally taken the stage!

Of course, Wu Cheng didn't explain for Hepburn in the VCR, Hepburn didn't even have a nomination, she didn't attend, what is there to explain? The explanation is a cover-up! What's more, everyone Hepburn has disappeared, isn't it normal not to come to such an event?

Anyway, this matter did not make any waves in North America. Wu Cheng, the owner of DreamWorks, is considered a maverick in the eyes of many people.

Such a director with such a personality, and he is also a rich man, is naturally quite popular.

Because of this, Wu Cheng's impression in the minds of those younger generation of fans has not only not been damaged, but has become more popular. Those rebellious young people like such people with character to be their idols.

And some people feel that Wu Cheng, an Oriental, seems to lack an Oriental etiquette, but is more like them Westerners, acting spontaneously and with a distinct personality!

As for the Xiangjiang side, this matter did not cause too many waves, the most important thing is that after that period of time, there were things such as Jiashi changing hands, Princess Jin and Xinyicheng being born. Everyone's attention was drawn to this side.

……

Therefore, Robert Zemeckis is still very excited about Wu Cheng's summons. (To be continued.) )
