Chapter 350: The Door
MGM invited Li Mo over again, Li Mo said that he would return to it, listen to it, MGM still wanted to grab the summer file, Li Mo insisted, MGM immediately asked Parma to take the crew to Europe to take the relevant exterior scenes, and made up some shots. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
None of them are the main shots, and the requirements for the actors are not high, and they are faster than the film.
Shoot it and fly back to the United States immediately.
Li Mo insisted on the reason for persistence, not necessarily the movie had to be made into "Shutter Island" to be a big hit, in fact, the only brain-burning movie that really sold was the movie "Inception".
Li Mo doesn't want it to become a brain-burning movie with a complex plot, but don't turn it into a thin popcorn movie, although most of the blockbuster movies are popcorn movies, this is the Da Vinci code, alas, if you take it as "Witch Carrie", it will inevitably hit the street.
Moderately add some shots to make the plot ...... Not complicated, but fuller. In addition, the proportions of the exterior are added to make the film look grander.
It is also a big IP, and many readers of the original book are eagerly awaiting the release of this movie.
It took four days with the editor, Parma, and the rest of the staff to edit it again. His memory has always been good, although there are, such as sleeping like an enemy, he can only remember an approximation, but he remembers this movie more deeply, and the book was written from his hand.
While thinking about which movie in his previous life, he compared the movie of Parma and edited it with other people over and over again.
It was only in the evening of the fourth day that Li Mo walked out of MGM with a pale face.
Of course, this time the effect satisfied everyone, including director Parma, who humbly admitted his shortcomings.
His business is over, and it can't be released immediately, other post-production is over, opening and ending credits, a small number of special effects, but you still have to hire someone to score music, and you have to promote it after the soundtrack, and the distributor will watch the film, etc., anyway, there are no twenty days, and you don't want to release it.
It should be said that the best schedule is to miss it. In fact, this is also Li Mo's sloppiness, he didn't expect that "Rain Man" was a movie produced by MGM, otherwise it would be a little better than the summer file when it came to Christmas.
There was a rain man, and Li Mo had to pinch his nose and not make a sound.
But before he got in the car, he thought to himself that this year might be MGM's last and most glorious year.
When Li Mo returned to the hotel, Pete came, chatting with a group of little guys.
Jing'er said disdainfully: "Stinky and beautiful guy." ”
Silk haha.
Pete asked Charlize, "Theron, what do they say?"
"I don't understand. ”
"Didn't you learn Chinese?"
"Pete, is Chinese so easy to learn?"
"Lee, you're back, you miss me," Pete stood up and gave Li Mo an exaggerated hug.
"Don't come to this set. ”
"Lee, boss, you're very unfair. ”
Needless to say, Li Mo also knew his intentions, Depp played the leading role of Edward Scissorhands, Downey asked Li Mo to "use power for personal gain", replaced the original protagonist of Dances with Wolves, and served as the protagonist of this blockbuster, even Jim Carrey, whose relationship is not "very close", also served as the protagonist of the disguised weird, and the big-mouthed Roberts even fished two leading roles in a row, and what made Pete even more interesting was that Roberts was still the protagonist in another movie "Modern Cinderella" that was being filmed.
In Li Mo's words, he really couldn't see where Roberts was beautiful, why did he take a fancy to her together?
The three little girls are still young and haven't acted in movies, so I'm afraid it's a matter of time.
Only I became a loner.
Li Mo said: "Pete, in this way, if you can learn Chinese within a year, as long as you can almost understand and communicate simply, I will let you be the protagonist of a blockbuster." ”
"Aha......" Pete looked around.
He came to his senses again and asked, "Lee, is Roberts pretty?"
"How do you think of asking this question?"
"Why did you give her two blockbuster roles. ”
"Is it a blockbuster?"
"It's always two main characters. Pete said.
Compared to the production cost of some small-scale films, they may be considered blockbusters, and they cannot be compared to Jurassic Park, which is not a blockbuster in this era, but a fateful one. If the box office is not good, Paramount and Universal are unlikely to fall, but they are destined to be devastated.
But are they strictly blockbusters? How much did Roberts's two films cost to make?
Actually, Pete doesn't know, they are all blockbusters too!
Mira said suspiciously, "Is Roberts good-looking? She has such a big mouth......
"She's got a big mouth, you're not big, and she's poor. Julie said dissatisfiedly that among the several people, she had the largest mouth, and she was also very thick.
"What's wrong with poor breasts, look at you, it's like an African. ”
"Who is like an African?"
"What are you arguing about, don't Africans look good? Li Mo shouted.
The two immediately shut their mouths.
"Sister Roberts must be sexy. Charlize whispered.
"It's not sexy, it's not pretty, it's that she's suitable for these roles. And I really don't know if it's beautiful or not, different countries, different races, each has its own aesthetic point of view, but when it comes to beauty, it's actually not Roberts who is beautiful, but Brooke Silk. ”
"She's just a shameless slut. Julie said dissatisfied.
"Lee, yes, she's shameless. Mira chimed in.
"Shameless?" Li Mo was a little dazed.
Pete whispered in his ear: "Lee, she had taken nude photos for BROOKE magazine when she was ten years old, and at the age of thirteen, she starred as a young prostitute in "Pretty Baby", and there were also nude shots. Later, in the coral island of youth, endless love, there are also a lot of intimacy and dew point shots in it, and she was only fifteen or sixteen years old at this time...... Anyway, from your point of view, I definitely don't like it. ”
"What about her guardian?" Li Mo said in amazement. Some actors choose to "dedicate themselves to art", but they all make such a choice when they are adults, at least 16 years old. Isn't that a sin at the age of 10? Moreover, the United States has a series of protective laws for children.
"Her mother's name is Terri, and the reason why she did it was because of her mother's training. Don't ask the guardian, if you want to make money, it's nothing for your daughter to show her body. Pete said with a shrug.
But Pete also has to admit that in terms of appearance, Brooke Shields is indeed one of the best stunners in Hollywood circles today.
Li Mo beckoned to the three girls and said: "You have to remember one thing, you can choose to make some sacrifices in order to broaden your acting path in the future, such as making yourself ugly, fat, and old, but you can't take off your clothes, once you take off your clothes, it's hard to wear them back." And taking off your clothes is unlikely to bring you any positive reputation. ”
Zhenzong's choice, Xiao Lizi, in order to broaden his acting path, he turned himself into an uncle with vicissitudes of life. And Charlize, who turned himself into a bald head and a fat and ugly fierce woman.
Incorrect choice, undressing.
"Love and Elixir" not only did not bring Anne Hathaway good honor, but on the contrary, it was a mess for everyone to see. There was no nudity in "Les Miserables", which won her an Oscar.
There is also a certain one in the color ring who has become a goddess, but this goddess understands everything, so she had to choose to marry the stick.
Julie and Charlize are a little better, especially Mira, who will take off their clothes at every turn in the future, and take them off for a lifetime, except for Resident Evil, there is no other film that can be handled.
"Li, boss......" Pete was in a hurry, this fork, the topic ran away again, he didn't come to take off his clothes.
Li Mo thought about it, there are only these artists in the name of his economic company, and he can't take care of one or the other, and he has to expect them to further promote the name of Yili in the future.
He said, "Come with me." ”
"Where?"
"MGM. Li Mo said that he simply took a few little guys to MGM together, and when he arrived at MGM, he asked MGM people to take the little ones to visit everywhere, and he asked MGM makeup artists to put on a few makeup photos for Pete, and also wrote some lines for Pete to perform.
After the end, Li Mo was slightly dissatisfied, of course, in terms of handsomeness, Pitt is indeed very handsome, but in terms of acting skills, he is indeed inferior to Depp and Downey Jr. He sighed in his heart, this is a child who will never grow up.
Especially his future relationship with Julie, for the sake of Julie's divorce from Jennifer, but after divorcing Julie, he immediately obtained his ex-wife's phone number and complained to his ex-wife. Julie is also funny, seeing Pete and his ex-wife back and forth, she throws herself back into the arms of her ex-husband, who is twenty years older than her.
"Lee, aren't you satisfied?"
"Just your acting skills, ......" Li Mo shook his head.
"Li, boss, then give me a script with low acting difficulty. ”
"Running the show doesn't require much acting skills. ”
"Tricks...... Boss. ”
"You know, once this film is made, the cost is going to be high. ”
"I'm not going to smash it. ”
"Pete, really, you first look for a few roles, I asked Uncle Liang to send someone to contact me in Hollywood, and then in the second half of next year, you will do one more thing for me, and if you do it well, it will make you have a deeper understanding of life perception. Then the year after that, I'll see if I can give you this script to perform. ”
"The year after tomorrow?"
"Pete, your acting skills are really not good now, even if you send someone to contact you, they still give you a role, unless it's my script, various companies have no choice but to choose you. But next year, I've already given seven scripts to various companies, and the schedule is packed, how can I cram another movie into it?"
Even now, the companies that got the scripts didn't realize how terrible these seven scripts were.
The script is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that Li Mo found the most important original team. Some are two or three years apart, some are only one year, and there is no age gap. This is not terrible, it is terrible, Li Mo knows that they will succeed, and he is willing to pay the cost of making the cost, and the companies are reluctant, so I will pay for it...... That is, there will be no financial constraints when filming.
But this script does have high requirements for the acting skills of the protagonist.
If Pete doesn't go through a period of grinding, he won't be able to act well at all. Pete frowned, Li Mo patted him on the shoulder and said: "Sharpen your acting skills, don't underestimate this script, once you act well, you will become famous." ”
With that, he took a group of people back to the hotel.
Later, Limer called and asked Hollick to send someone to Ireland to buy the rights to the novel "Dracula" by the last-century writer Bram Stoker. However, the copyright of this book, like The Hobbit, is a bit of a mess and has fallen into the hands of many people.
It can only be said that not many people pay attention to it, and if you have the intention to buy it, it will not cost much money, at most it is a little troublesome.
This year, some copyrights will be acquired, "The Identity of Bourne" and "The Silence of the Lambs", and two years later, we will find a way to buy back the rights of the hobbits scattered to various shareholders, and see if we can take Marvel in the future, and that's it for the movie. Or when you have the mind, like this year, occasionally copy a few more ideas...... But that's not the main thing, and Li Mo doesn't plan to devote too much energy to it.
Then Limer went to Pixar, and when he saw Jobs, he asked in surprise, "Jobs, what's wrong with you?"
Pete is very handsome, and Jobs is also very handsome, but at this time, Jobs's hair was like a pile of messy straw, and his beard reached the neckline.
"Lee, you're just in time, are you too optimistic about the future of technology?" said Jobs, pointing to a large piece of wood on the table.
"Isn't optimism right?"
"I experimented for several months, bought a lot of parts, and found that it was impossible to implement your technology," Jobs said, Li Mo said for a few years, then the gap in technology should not be too big, at least after trial and error, people can see a glimmer of light, but after Jobs's trial and error, and even dismantled more than a dozen big brothers, I found that there was no breakthrough at all. Or, it is to make some breakthroughs on the basis of Motorola's original technology, and do what Motorola is doing now, to reduce its weight and volume as much as possible. But this is still the big brother that Li Mo said, not the fantastic mobile phone that Li Mo said.
This is responsible, once Li Mo invests, it is an astronomical amount, and real money is not money.
Li Mo patted the back of his head and said, "It's to blame that I didn't make it clear, don't study it, you shave off your beard first, let's have a meal, and talk while eating." ”
