Jerry Donn is pleased with Mira's answer, and if she explicitly tells James Sr. that she agrees, then Jerry will have to reconsider his relationship with her.

The professional quality of the actor cannot be lost, but the bottom line of his own principles must also be adhered to, how can a woman who does not cherish her body make a man cherish her?

"Good, very good!"

Director James was choked by their answers, and his flickering eyes kept sweeping over the three of them, he understood that he dared to love this couple and put on a pair of pants!

After thinking about it, Old James was not only angry, but said with a smile: "It seems that the three of you have reached a tacit understanding and are ready to join forces against me, an old man." Hehehe!"

Jerry couldn't figure out the old James's mind, worried that he would be angry, and what should he do with this movie if he got angry?

Besides, the differences between himself and him are due to many concerns about the quality of the film and the box office market, which is a public intention, not a personal grudge.

In fact, James Sr. can insist on his own opinions, which shows that he has a very high professional quality, which makes Jerry quite touched and attaches great importance to his opinion.

Thinking of this, Jerry said, "Old James, why don't we each take a step back and shoot according to the standard of PG-13?"

Old James shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm relieved that you can say that, which shows that you are not against me insisting on the R-rated shooting scale because of your possessiveness." In that case, then I'll talk to you about the current state of Hollywood movies. ”

"Oh, I want to hear it, and I'll listen to it. Jerry was surprised.

James Sr. smiled and said: "Movies originated in France, Hollywood movies began in the nineties of the last century, and rose in the thirties of this century, when the whole world was in the midst of war, so now there is a saying, "Hollywood movies rose in the flames of war, and surpassed all countries in the world during the Cold War", with decades of accumulated reputation and influence, it has become the world's largest film production base, leading the world film trend."

I won't say much about the development process, anyway, you young people don't like to hear it, so I'll talk about the current state of Hollywood drama films.

Hollywood movies have always been known for real art and advanced consciousness, advanced consciousness is science fiction and magic type of surreal films, and real art is art films, and our film belongs to the category of art films. ”

As James Sr. spoke, Mira got up and walked to the coffee machine, brought a cup of coffee to James Sr. and Gwyneth respectively, and made him a cup of tea, knowing that Jerry liked to drink tea.

Tea making is a new craft that Mila learned from Lady Sally some time ago.

The elder James nodded in gratitude and continued: "As we all know, art comes from life and is higher than life.

Originating from life means that it is real, and higher than life is literary processing and artistic recreation, and I want to emphasize that artistic processing and recreation are by no means conjectures, but also from real life.

In the past two decades, Hollywood movies have become more and more influential, box office revenues and sales of merchandise have increased, and at the same time, the status and popularity of actors have also risen.

Audiences refer to singers as 'singers' and actors as 'movie stars or stars', because news media are becoming more and more developed, instant networks are on the rise, and communication channels are becoming more and more diverse.

The substantial increase in communication channels and communication speed has promoted the rapid development of Hollywood films, quickly occupied foreign markets, and made the actors participating in the film well-known to audiences all over the world, which is also a direct contributing factor to the rising salaries of Hollywood movie stars in the past decade.

At present, the salary of a single movie of a popular Hollywood superstar has increased to a sky-high price of $20 million, which is an astronomical amount that was unimaginable in the past.

While actors' salaries have increased substantially, there is less and less space for private life, and personal privacy and even the general situation of parents, wives and children are almost completely exposed to the public eye.

All popular movie stars, almost all the public knows, and even the names of the three generations of movie stars' ancestors know, who they are with, who they have a close relationship with, and who they are close to are also under the supervision of the entertainment media, and their family background can't hide the inquiries of people with hearts.

You may think that this has nothing to do with our films, but what I'm going to talk about next is our films. ”

After a pause, Old James drank half a cup of coffee in one gulp, and continued: "If art films want to attract audiences into the cinema and get a high box office, there is only one way to go, that is, to resonate with the audience who have watched the film, and word of mouth will form a word of mouth, and word of mouth will affect the overseas market, and then attract more audiences into the theater."

How to resonate?

Speaking of this, old James looked at Jerry directly, and said with a meaningful smile: "Jerry, you are a rookie actor, not many people know you, even if the audience doesn't know you now, they will slowly get to know you in the future." But Paltrow and Ms. Jovovich are both public figures, and a little inquiry will reveal their family background, height and weight, as well as their current love life.

There is no privacy for public figures in the entertainment industry, how do you play boyfriend and girlfriend or husband and wife in the film, how do you show the authenticity of art, and how do you make the audience resonate because of the truth?

Don't tell me that kissing means boyfriend and girlfriend, and lying in a bed is called husband and wife?"

After listening to it for so long, Jerry finally heard the door, it turned out that old James was waiting for me here.

Old James went around in circles, in fact, he wanted to say that art films can only be accepted and recognized by the audience by showing the most realistic scenes, which is the basic condition for the success of the film.

However, the audience is not so easily fooled.

The statement that kissing is a boyfriend and girlfriend is simply not true, because the common etiquette in Europe and the United States is hugging and veneering, and those who are close will also kiss the forehead or kiss.

By analogy, the statement that an actor and actress are called husband and wife when they lie on the same bed is even less valid.

Actors and actresses in pajamas lie in bed and don't do anything, but they also play husband and wife, coaxing children?

Who has ever seen a young couple with strong blood go to bed and do nothing? Abstinent people generally choose to live alone.

How does emotional drama win the trust of the audience?

Only the most direct and primitive way of performing is the most convincing, and no one will question it.

Well, it's all about the truth, and who made himself an artistic drama?

Jerry straightened out what old James was trying to say, and he agreed with his point of view.

Old James held his coffee, always paying attention to the change in Jerry's expression,

Seeing the look of relief on his face, old James finally breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relieved smile, and then he drank his coffee slowly, and stopped abruptly in the middle of his words.

In the face of perceptive actors, many things can be explained thoroughly, and there is no need to say anything.

This is a way of communication between smart people, click to stop, and everyone can still be friends in the future.

On the contrary, if you really undisguise it all, both sides will have no face, and the scene will be so embarrassing, I'm afraid that I won't even have to be friends in the future.

"Well, old fox, you won, and I admit that you convinced me that everything will be as you say. Jerry sighed.

Old James smiled and nodded, and took advantage of the situation to put forward his request: "Hollywood has a default rule in the industry for making movies, you don't need a stand-in to shoot emotional scenes, even popular superstars are no exception." So...... You know. ”

Jerry was so angry that he said weakly: "I also have basic professionalism, of course I know what to do, not to mention that I am not as narrow as you think, nor is I as possessive as you secretly despise in your heart."

But I also have the condition that the panoramic shot can only be the back, and the frontal nude shot will not appear in my film, not now, and not in the future. ”

James Sr. praised: "The wise choice coincides with my thoughts. The reason why I insisted on the R-rated scale was not only because the audience for the film was mainly high school students and adults, but also because your performance was so good, and you were the best actor I have worked with so far, so I didn't allow the film to make unforgivable common-sense mistakes. ”

As he spoke, James Sr. laughed and said, "Jerry, now I feel that the film is close to perfection, and it is not surprising that you will quickly become popular and famous in Hollywood with this film." Hahaha!"

Jerry is really speechless about him, he is still an old naughty boy at such an age, but he is indeed very good at being a person, no wonder his popularity is so good.
