Chapter 471: Reversing Life
Then, it is to bring in Tony Scott, Don Simpson, Jerry Bruckheimer and others, these are the original directors and producers, "Top Gun" is just an idol movie, a recruitment advertisement, and they are enough to be in charge. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Unexpectedly, there was a conflict because of the choice of the actor, and I didn't know what medicine those two guys had taken, so they insisted on using Tom Cruise as the leading actor.
Well, they feel that they should show themselves, they should fight for the right to speak, and that's no problem, all directors and producers have this consideration, it's just that they have the wrong time and target.
To put it mildly, both Simpson and Scott are still rookies, and it's good to be able to stand alongside the Weinstein brothers.
It's a pity, who let Li Xu have a mixed-race face, being despised is unavoidable, even if some things are easy to detect, such as so far, the movies he has invested in have never lost money.
But once you have a preconceived notion, it's not easy to find the reason, luckily, the producer is capable, and he doesn't stay in Los Angeles often anyway.
In this case, Li Xu is too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and he can stop playing if he is unhappy.
When it is replaced by something else, it may be a little more troublesome, it is already a basic shelf, and it will have to be dismantled and restarted, and the big studios that cooperate with it will definitely have opinions.
But now, the partner is still Paramount, and after the departure of the Paramount troika, the shock effect has not completely subsided, and the new CEO is in need of results to stabilize his position.
Simpsons these guys don't know Li Xu's identity and despise his achievements, Paramount's executives will not be like this, not to mention that Li Xu has a representative on the board of directors.
So, they can only say, it doesn't matter, you can play as much as you like, as long as the movie has a box office.
In this way, the actor who replaced him happened to be found again - Brad Pitt, a handyman in the studio, was not specially arranged by Li Xu, but it was indeed just a chance encounter.
After all, at this time, he was doing various jobs in Hollywood while learning acting, waiter, driver, handyman, etc., in order to have a chance to become famous.
Li Xu was still thinking about how to change Tecruz's life to be interesting, as soon as he saw Pete, he didn't have to think about it anymore, just reverse their lives.
In other words, Brad Pitt will play "Top Gun", "Rain Man", "Born on the Fourth of July" and even "Mission Impossible", and Cruise will play "Big River Love", "Burning Years", "Twelve Monkeys" and so on.
It's fun just to think about.
After that, of course, Brad Pitt joined the crew, and Don Simpson, Jerry Bruckheimer, and Tony Scott quit the crew.
But the news quickly spread through most of Hollywood, and it was clear that someone wanted to see his jokes.
Li Xu doesn't care, those who know must know, and those who don't know will know in the future.
All I had to do now was to get the time to complete at least three-quarters of the storyboard in a month, and it had to be a more detailed storyboard β thankfully, I didn't get it full.
The success of "Brothers" proves that this model can be used in Hollywood, as long as the director is not rotten, so he is not worried at all
The only problem is that the manpower has to complete the storyboard of more than 1,500 shots in a month, and it is the kind of detailed depiction, which is not enough for him alone, so Qiu Shuzhen, Li Jiaxin, Yasuko Sawaguchi and a few secretaries, as well as the women who are idle in San Francisco, all have to come to help at least draw a line or something.
So every time I go back to San Francisco during this time, I can see such a scene: a group of women sitting in the living room, surrounded by white paper, and then crawling on the copy box to draw lines, and a few in the middle of the tea and water, or helping to deliver things.
It's quite harmonious, Li Xu thinks that he can find them all in the future - of course it's impossible, except for a few who have practiced and some basics, such as Qiu Shuzhen and them, or Zhong Yuhong, other women may not be able to draw a good one seven or eight times.
It can only be said that there are victories and none, and it can increase some efficiency more or less, so it mainly depends on the painting talents found in Los Angeles.
Of course, this is actually a trivial matter, for Li Xu, the most important thing in the 80s was to make money.
"I've been to Stanford and seen it, and the Internet you are talking about is not so magical. Daddy sat in a high-backed chair in his office and said in a noncommittal tone.
"Of course, this is just the beginning," Li Xu snorted, "If people from ten years ago came to the present, they would definitely be surprised by the Internet on the university campus." β
"So, the things you're talking about, video communication with people in New York through computers, or the need for information, and a search on the Internet will not be available until at least a decade?" Daddy immediately asked.
"Ten years from now are just the beginning, at least fifteen years later. Li Xu raised his hands.
"You have faith, II. Daddy looked at him with an interested look.
"Of course, I have the best vision in this," Li Xu said unceremoniously, "In short, if Cisco really solves the problem of network switching, it will definitely be a huge gold mine." β
"Perhaps. Daddy was still in that noncommittal tone, "However, neither Leon nor Sandra are qualified businessmen. β
"A qualified businessman can't develop a network switch. Li Xu shrugged his shoulders and said, "So, I need to work with Valentine." β
"Well, I'll think about it. Daddy thought for a moment and nodded.
Hearing this, Li Xu immediately let out a long breath and completely relaxed.
Well, the main thing is that he is too anxious, as soon as Cisco was established, he asked people to come to the door, repeatedly promised not to interfere in the operation, and the founder and his wife agreed to his request for shares.
Then Li Xu found himself in the pit.
First of all, the couple is completely technical and knows nothing about business operations. Secondly, the couple is still very naΓ―ve and even feels that it is shameful to make a profit. Again, their patents can't get around Stanford, and someone needs to settle this.
Li Xu is not interested in running a company, and he has to run around, if he lets Leon and Sandra and his wife, Cisco will be ready to be stillborn.
So, he had to bring in other capital, such as Don Valentine's Sequoia, to get him to find someone to handle the company's affairs, and if necessary, to kick out the founders who were in the way.
But if he wants to take the initiative to find the other party, he will definitely lose the wind, and then take out more benefits. For Cisco, Li Xu's expectations are quite high, at least before 2000, so he came directly to his father for help, and also greatly painted the prospect of the Internet.
Now that Daddy has promised to help, there is no need to worry about whether he is a shareholder himself or helps to talk to Valentine.
"You seem to be pleased, II. "Daddy still looks interested.
"Of course, because I can see and think about the future. Li Xu said with a grin.
Cisco's problem is solved, last year's Dell has already gotten its hands on it, and with Qualcomm, which will be founded in the middle of this year, and perhaps ahead of it β how could he not be happy.
In addition, Gotu has also successfully ascended to the throne, and although Chernenko went to meet Marx a day later than the other time and space, it cannot change the general trend.
And according to the intelligence gathered over the past ten days - another Soviet leader hangs, and the eyes of the whole world are focused on Moscow.
This Gotu should not have been possessed, I don't know if he asked *** to investigate Chernobyl, but at least he didn't let Yakovlev come to the United States to buy bad movies.
Therefore, now you can start planning further, and when he becomes a cadre meat grinder, he will start and lay it out, and Yulia will also have a place to play, as long as there is no Yuri and the base car in 92, he will be able to plunder on a large scale.
How can you not be happy about that?
"Alright, Dad, thank you for your help, I'll go first. Li Xu stood up at this time.
"Wait," Daddy suddenly stopped him, "I don't usually ask about your mother's affairs in Japan, but that's called ...... Li Fu is really a 'child daughter-in-law', what are you going to do with it? By the way, that's what it's called, right?"
"Hmm......" Li Xu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, who told you that she was a child daughter-in-law?
However, her mother is really good to Li Fuzhen, not to mention her regular guidance, before she went back to the United States to deal with things, she actually took her with her, which is really surprising and inexplicable.
You must know that when Li Xu went back to Japan before, he really wanted to play kissing with her.
Could it be that her mother wants to train her to be her second self? But she is a Korean, and it is useless for you to train her like this, and you can't go back and take over the helm of Samsung...... Could it be that my mother is now anticipating what will happen in 30 years?
"That's the hub of contact between me and Samsung's Li family," Li Xu had to say, "I have a plan for South Korea, and Samsung is a good target to be my spokesperson." β
"That's all?" Daddy asked, raising an eyebrow.
"That's all. Li Xu also looks like an old god, Li Fuzhen has been raised by his mother's side for so long, and it is no suspense to be eaten by himself, so there is no need to deliberately advance.
"I mean, just your spokesman?" asked Daddy.
Only then did Li Xu realize that he would be wrong, and immediately laughed dryly: "If the outside world is going to say it, it will probably look like this, but I don't really think that they will listen to me." Of course, I don't have so many plans for South Korea, and I don't plan to use them much, if I really want to say, Lee Fujin is my spokesperson. β
"So......" Daddy touched his chin, "she's still a 'child daughter-in-law,' right?"
Li Xu rolled his eyes: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first." β
Although he would come over from time to time to consult with his dad and take care of his own affairs β his office was downstairs from him β and then head south to Los Angeles to have a look, most of the time he was busy with the storyboard of Top Gun.
Other trivial matters were not pulled down, such as taking Annabelle over as usual, bullying her younger siblings, or taking care of Teresa Teng, whose belly is getting bigger, and asking about Hong Kong movies.
