Chapter Seventy-Eight: Meeting Gore Again (Asking for Recommendation)

On the evening of Severn's return to the Hilton Hotel, he received a call from Ethel, who first inquired about the scandal between Severn and Paris.

The news of Severn and Paris appearing together at the Los Angeles airport yesterday has already been reported, and Ethel, who is always paying attention to Severn, naturally calls to ask.

Severn reluctantly convinces Ethel that his appearance at the airport with Paris was an accident, that the two met on the plane, and that Paris took her to the Los Angeles Hilton Hotel, where she left.

The call continued into the wee hours of the night, and Severn explained that there was something to do the next day, and that he must hurry back to England as soon as possible to calm Ethel.

During this time, Severn and Ethel often talked on the phone in the United States, but their relationship was not alienated due to the limitations of time and space.

.......

The next day, Severn packed up and went to EMI's Los Angeles branch with Andre and the others again.

"Master Severn, this is the director who shot the MV for you this time, Gore Verbinski. ”

When Severn arrived at EMI's Los Angeles office, Steve Nader introduced Severn to a director behind him.

Severn looked at Gore Verbinsky with a slightly strange face, he didn't expect to meet him again in Los Angeles; Gore Wibinski looked like he had known it for a long time, and smiled when he saw Severn:

"Hello, Mr. Spencer, we meet again. ”

"You're also, Mr. Gore, I didn't expect us to be so fateful. Severn shook hands with Gore Wibinski and had to lament that the world was too small.

Steve Nader looked at Severn and Gore Wibinski in surprise.

"You know?"

"Well, I met Mr. Gore and I at a café in San Francisco. Severn explained.

"That's great, so I don't need to introduce it too much. Steve Nader laughed.

This time he hired Gore Wibinski, but it cost a lot of money, because Gore Wibinski has transformed from an advertising director to a film director.

Gore Wibinski has shot music videos for bands such as Bad Religion, 24-7 Spyz, Monster Magent, etc., so he has a lot of experience shooting music videos.

At the same time, Gore has also shot a large number of commercials, and his outstanding talent has won him four times the "Oscar of advertising" Clio Advertising Award and the Cannes Advertising Silver Lion Award.

Now that he has transformed into a film director, he rarely engages in this kind of shooting, but Steve Nader still invited him to shoot the MV for Severn, which shows how much Steve Nader cares about Severn.

After some pleasantries.

"Mr. Spencer, this is the MV script I wrote for you after listening to your adaptation of "Five Hundred Miles", you can take a look. Gore Verbinski pulled a script out of his file bag and gave it to Severn.

There were only a few pages in the script, and Severn finished it in two or three clicks, and after a cursory glance, Severn had no opinion.

"Then I'll have to trouble you this time. ”

Severn returned the script to Gore Verbinski.

"Hehe, let's start preparing for shooting now, right?"

Gore Verbinski didn't mention letting Severn participate in "Pirates of the Caribbean" this time, only talking about Severn's shooting of the MV in front of him.

Severn nodded, "Yes." ”

The shooting of the MV is slightly different from the previous one, but the time is still frozen in the 60s of the 20th century, which is full of the local atmosphere of the United States at that time.

The whole MV is dark, telling the story of a young man who carries his luggage and struggles to board the train away from home alone, the whistle sounds, and the young man embarks on a journey to fight for his dreams.

Don't look at this MV, it was only a short three and a half minutes, but it took Severn three or four days to shoot it.

Severn recorded a single this time, so he was naturally not in a hurry to shoot the MV, and at the same time, because the MV director this time was Gore Wibinski, he kept improving all aspects of the MV.

On the fourth day, the finished MV was completed.

After the filming was completed, Steve Nadella celebrated again with Severn and Gore Verbinski. At the banquet, Steve Nader and Severn discussed how to promote Severn's single.

Severn naturally didn't understand this, so he left it all to Steve Nader and they were responsible.

That's it, the guests are happy.

After the banquet, Severn had just left the EMI Los Angeles division with his front foot and Gore Wipinski on the back foot.

"Mr. Spencer, please wait. ”

Severn turned and looked at Gore Verbinski in confusion.

"Interested in going for a drink?" said Gore Verbinski.

Severn shrugged and said indifferently, "Of course." ”

With Andre and the six of them here, Severn was not afraid of any accidents.

Gore Verbinski found a small bar, which was relatively quiet, and the two of them each ordered a glass of whiskey, and then Severn took the glass and asked:

"Mr. Gore, you didn't invite me here for a drink, did you?"

"Hahaha, of course not, I'm going to ask Mr. Spencer again if you'd be interested in the movie I told you about. Gore Wibinski asked again.

Through getting along in the past few days, Gore Verbinski also has a certain understanding of Severn, handsome appearance, elegant British accent, and rapid improvement in acting skills, these conditions are perfectly in line with the "blacksmith" image in Gore's heart.

Therefore, he didn't care about any face, and threw an olive branch to Severn again.

Although he transformed from an advertising director to a film director, he has almost no movies in his hands, and the films he has made are basically not famous.

("The American Version of Midnight Bells" was only remade in 2002, and the film earned back $200 million, allowing Gore Verbinsky to reveal his essence as a box office director)

Therefore, for a talent like Severn, he doesn't want to miss it, although Severn has not participated in any movies, but it doesn't matter, everyone has a first time, and the role of "blacksmith" is not the central role.

Severn was not surprised to hear Gore Wibinski's words, and at the moment Gore Wibinski called out to him, Severn had a guess.

But this time, Severn didn't refuse immediately, but rubbed his chin and thought.

Severn always had a plan in mind to make all the novels he wrote into a film or TV series, which required a director, and Gore Verbinski was an excellent candidate at the moment.

If Severn could sell Gore Verbinski a favor before he even made his mark (referring to the movie), he would undoubtedly be very vocal about asking him to make a movie in the future.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, Severn changed his original decision, nodded at Gore Verbinski, and said:

"Yes. ”

"Really?!"

Gore Verbinski was pleasantly surprised, although Disney said that it would invest $125 million in "Pirates of the Caribbean", but in fact, they did not have much confidence in this movie, and this movie was just a plan at this time.

"Of course, but I ...... time"

"Don't worry, Mr. Spencer, this film won't be shot until next year at the earliest, so it won't have any impact on your plans for this year. Gore Wibinski said hurriedly.

"Oh well. ”

Severn agreed that what would happen next year Severn himself did not know, because Severn did not have a clear plan for Facebook's development plan next year.

So it's perfectly fine to promise Pirates of the Caribbean.

"Whew~"

After seeing Severn's promise, Gore Verbinsky also breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Severn with his wine glass:

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

Severn's glass touched Gore's and replied with a smile:

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”
