Chapter 440: Replacement, See Substitution Again
Michael Eisner's face did not change: "Of course, when I am at Paramount, I naturally want to serve Paramount with all my heart." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBut now that I'm the president of Disney, it's only natural that I have to do my best for Disney. ā
In Hollywood, others don't know Li Xu's ability, but Eisner and Katzenberg won't know that Li Xu has been cooperating with Paramount since "The Officer and the Gentleman".
Everyone else can only see the success of one director and the success of one producer, but they can't see the deeper things. Only people like Eisner, who have been in direct contact with Li Xu, know how much role Li Xu's vision plays.
At least so far, none of the films invested by Li Xu and the films he supervised have lost money. Moreover, Eisner also got "Memory Fragments" and sighed at the ingenious structure.
So, why not pull Li Xu to Disney's side? He's also a member of the board anyway.
"Very good, Mike, very good." Li Xu applauded lightly at this time, "However, it's not right now, although Disney has started making movies a long time ago, animation has always been the main force, so it can't be compared with other big studios in this regard." ā
After a pause, he added: "But I believe in your ability, and when you develop this area better, I will work with Disney with some interesting ideas, I promise." After all, as I said earlier, I'm more optimistic about Disney's future. ā
"No problem, Mr. Lee." Eisner nodded, not insisting, but very good at looking at it.
After chatting for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Li Xu immediately got up and said goodbye.
All the way to the bar downstairs, I saw a young girl in a long dress sitting there, chatting with a young man of twenty-two or three. Her brow furrowed slightly, as if she didn't want to say much, but the young man kept pestering him as if he hadn't noticed.
"What are you talking about, Diane?" Li Xu walked over and reached out to wrap his arms around the young girl's waist.
Diane's body stiffened obviously, but after noticing that it was Li Xu, she relaxed again, but there was some reluctance in her eyes.
"Nothing, some movie stuff." Diane replied lightly.
"Hey, man, who are you?" The young man looked at Li Xu.
Li Xu ignored it, as if he didn't exist, and took Diane's waist: "Let's go." ā
Diane bit her lip and stood up obediently, about to leave with him.
"Wait," the young man stopped them at once, looking rather dissatisfied, "who the hell are you?" ā
"I'm sorry, who the hell am I, you could have asked your agent, Mr. Tom Cruise." Li Xu said for a long time, "Now, please get out of the way, we are leaving." ā
"What are you?" Tom Cruise exclaimed unpleasantly, still in the way.
"I say it again, Mr. Cruise, please get out of the way, or I'll have to call security and throw you out of here." Li Xu said unceremoniously.
"You ......" Cruise blushed, as if he was a little irritated, after all, he was young and vigorous.
"Is there anything you need, Mr. Lee?" A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked over at this time.
"It's nothing, Mr. Cruise doesn't seem to be planning to let us go." Li Xu said lightly.
"Okay, Mr. Lee." The middle-aged man owed, then turned to Cruise: "Mr. Tom Cruise, please follow me." ā
"But ......" Cruise was a little confused, he recognized this middle-aged man, the assistant to Disney CEO Michael Eisner.
"Please follow me." The middle-aged man accentuated his tone.
Cruise, who realized something, turned a little ugly, but still followed him honestly.
"Let's go too." Li Xu hugged Diane's waist again.
"Hmm......" Diane replied in a low voice, her expression blank.
Coming all the way outside, the black Rolls-Royce was already parked there, and Li Xu opened the car door for Diane very intimately, but she didn't say anything when she sat in.
Again, the two didn't say anything along the way until they returned to their hotel suite.
"Ready? Need some champagne first? Li Xu asked with a smile.
Diane shrunk her neck slightly, her right hand grabbed her left arm, and she looked unwilling.
"That man......" she asked, "what would you do to him?" ā
Although the question was unclear, Li Xu still understood what she meant: "It won't be good, changing his fate is like changing your fate." ā
"Change his fate? Change my fate? Diane was a little dazed, as if puzzled.
"Of course, Tom Cruise could have become an international superstar," Li Xu smiled, "but since he is so blind, then I will polish him for a few years, let him honestly mix small-budget movies, and wait until the 90s to become famous." ā
Without waiting for Diane to speak, he continued: "As for you, because of dating Bon Jovi, you were hurt, so you stopped studying ......"
"Wait, how did you know Bon Jovi had asked me out?" Diane asked, a little surprised.
"Of course I know, he still let me send him away." Li Xu shrugged.
"You...... You've been spying on me? Diane's face changed.
"It should be said that it is more appropriate to take care of you," Li Xu continued to shrug his shoulders, "and you will later admit that Bon Jovi is not a suitable date. ā
"How can you do that!" Diane's eyes widened, looking at him in disbelief.
"Oh, dear Diane," Li Xu smiled, "You're Diane Lane on the same level as Brooke Small, I've got Brooke, and I deserve Diane too." ā
Diane Lane looked at him stunned, a faint mist appeared in her eyes, but it quickly dissipated, and her expression became blank again.
"Don't do that, your fate should have been in ruins, Xiying's stupid decision has wasted you at least three or four years, and when you return to the film industry again, you can't find your place." Li Xu continued, "You can only wander between first-tier and second-tier stars, occasionally there are two works that are not bad, but some are quickly forgotten, and finally slowly start to play roles such as mothers in movies." ā
Diane still had that blank expression, as if she had resigned herself to her fate, but occasionally a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.
"And now, I can take you one step further and become a true international superstar." Li Xu slowly walked up to her, lifted her chin, and lifted it in front of him, "I know, you must be thinking in your heart now, you have no interest in international superstars, nothing compares to freedom." But it doesn't matter, many young people are like this, thinking that what they want is the most important thing, but after maturity they start to pursue things that they once felt worthless. ā
On that innocent and beautiful face, a stubborn look was finally revealed.
"I don't care what you think, Diane, but I have a suggestion," Li Xu leaned into her ear and blew softly, "Instead of not cooperating, it is better to take the initiative to participate, and then try to enrich yourself, seek benefits for yourself, and save the capital to negotiate with me." You know, I'm going to give you some works that can not only hit the Oscars, but also earn box office. ā
Diane still didn't speak, and Li Xu didn't care, let go of his hand, took two steps back, and smiled slightly: "Now, take off your clothes." ā
The young girl, who had regained her numbness, reached back and took off her dress.
Although she still looked uncooperative, when she lay down on the bed, she looked at the ceiling without saying a word, but how could it be difficult to stop Li Xu?
First of all, he was very patient, and his teasing techniques were extremely clever, but the moment he took away his virginity was enough to break her heart like water, and then he rubbed it round and flattened.
The coveting of Diane Lane began in 81, without him, since Li Xu has played the substitution game in the mainland, it is okay to play in Hollywood.
When he was about to find someone to replace an American sweetheart, he couldn't find a suitable candidate, and finally pondered for a long time before choosing Diane Lane.
A single-parent family, easy to control, his father is also an insider, it is easier to make transactions, and his appearance is also outstanding.
Of course, the same name as Brooke Koishi is also one of the reasons.
She, Brooke Smalls, and Jennifer Connelly, are all famous Hollywood actresses in the 80s.
Of course, just as the star path of all the jade stars will not be smooth, Jennifer Connelly, who had the luckiest among them, won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and the commercial value is always only second-tier.
So Li Xu let people look at her, cut off the relationship between her and Bon Jovi, and let people show her the erosive life of rock singers - in another time and space, Diane Lane will retire from film in 84, which has nothing to do with this.
After watching her for another two years, and after getting rid of her father, she finally ate it today.
Well, Li Xu will not admit that he has too many women, and he is addicted to the obedience of oriental women, and he almost forgot about her.
Anyway, with Diane Lane's falling popularity, two of the three major Hollywood girls in the 80s have been obtained, and Jennifer Connelly is already obedient, just wait for another two years to eat, and the curse of the jade star will be broken by Li Xu.
Although he wanted to train Brooke Shields to be his face in Hollywood - in terms of actressing and filmmaking, if she had the ability.
I have other ideas about Jennifer Connery, but Diane Lane is going to replace an American sweetheart, so she must continue to act, and movies are prepared, such as "Rapist Pear Blossom" should be appropriate, anyway, Judy is now in law school.
As for "The Silence of the Lambs", this Li Xu also wanted to give it to her at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I still felt that another one was more suitable, the girl who sneaked from Australia to Los Angeles.
"Calm down, Mr. Anthony Kidman, your daughter is not harmed, and I informed you as soon as possible." In the office of Imagination Pictures, facing some men with blushing faces and thick necks, Li Xu said with a smile.
On the couch next to her, Nicole Kidman sat honestly, her hands folded and her head down.
