Chapter 42: Marginal Figures

If "Paris, I Love You" can be counted as the voice of twenty young people, then "New York, I Love You" is simply a group of unsatisfactory actors and actors looking for a sense of existence, which can be said to have no meaning in shooting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although I didn't have much expectations, after learning about the composition of the "main creator" of the movie, Liang Baoguang was still shocked by the producer's "courage", and made a lot of fringe stars stewed a pot of hodgepodge, and I don't know who this is going to sell to.

"If you don't want to make that broken movie, just push it off, can it be that you still care about that bit of face?" The son had a tangled expression, and Yun Jingyi was much more direct, in her opinion, it was better to do something serious if she had spare time to make a cameo in a movie, such as finding a girlfriend or something.

Liang Baoguang came to New York to participate in "New York, I Love You", and since he was in the Big Apple, there was no reason not to visit his mother. Of course, it's a good thing for mother and son to want to meet, but Yun Jingyi always likes to mess with his ideas, "It's not a matter of human affection, okay, you're used to being strong, but I'm not even a newcomer now, and I haven't officially entered Hollywood and entered the entertainment circle, if I don't want to make a movie this time, I will push the movie directly, who will come to me to make a movie in the future?"

"Haven't you figured out the situation yet, you are a director, not an actor, this time you are just a cameo actor, why do you want people to ask you to make movies in the future?" Yun Jingyi rolled her eyes, this world is full of big pyramids, directors only need to be responsible for the producer to get sponsorship, and they don't need to care about the feelings of the actors at all. People all over the world know that James Cameron has a very bad temper and Stephen Spielberg has a low character, but when they want to make a movie, they will worry about finding an actor?

"But you have to run some connections, no. "The reason why Liang Baoguang wants to participate in the show is just to get to know a few more people, and it will not be his loss if he doesn't need others in the future, if he uses it, he will make a lot of money.

"There are only a few marginal people left and right, what kind of connections can they be, if you really want to run a network in Hollywood, go back and your mother will introduce you to a few first-class producers......" Yun Jingyi didn't look down on these people anyway, because after Liang Baoguang told her the name of the collaborator, she found that she only knew one Iwai Shunji, and she had never heard of anything else.

That's right, although there are many girls in the Celestial Empire who love "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" when it comes to movies, and love girls like Matilda the most, but in the United States in 2007, Natalie Portman is a "non-mainstream Jewish with a stone face" (East Coast).

As early as 2003, Natalie Portman publicly stated that "I will never accept commercial films in the future", although in 2005 she starred in "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" and slapped herself in the face, and was attacked by many black fans, but at other times she really did not make commercial movies. A person who specializes in literary films and art films, no matter how good his acting skills are, he can't become a superstar, Tim Ross is always put together with Adrien Brody, but his achievements are far from this junior, not because of his political position, but because his taste in choosing films is too tricky.

Natalie Portman, who has never acted in a real blockbuster since the Star Wars series, has indeed been marginalized by Hollywood, and she can't look down on her, and she can't look down on her. always shows her face in niche movies, her popularity and influence are getting worse day by day, if it weren't for the fact that she is really out of line, she will not rely on promoting anti-terrorism everywhere and helping Israel wash the floor on the Palestinian issue to make her sense of existence.

Natalie Portman, who is relatively the most famous, is like this, not to mention the others, her little sister Scarlett Johansson is bent on becoming famous, but she still hasn't been able to get a good opportunity just tepidly, and Jiang Wen, Shu Qi and others and even Iwai Shunji are only recognizable in some areas, pull an American on the streets of New York and ask, and the answer must be "Sorry, who is that?"

"Mom, how do I feel that you are looking at me when you say the three words marginal person?" Liang Baoguang scratched his chin.

"Mom just doesn't want to watch you go down a road of no return, art movies are played by accomplished old artists, which onion are you now? "Yun Jingyi is a very realistic person, and the realistic part of Liang Baoguang's personality is inherited from her, so she rarely takes ideals as the origin of analyzing problems. Art films convey opinions or reaction problems, and this means that there are very few people who can watch it and even fewer people who resonate, which is not conducive to the phased goal of accumulating popularity and improving awareness in the early stage, so she persuaded Liang Baoguang to start with commercial films.

"I'm just making art movies, how can it be a point of no return?" Liang Baoguang suspects that his mother is because he doesn't speak Chinese for many years, and his ability to choose words and sentences has greatly deteriorated, knowing that he is going to make art movies, and not knowing that he thinks he is going to play ADC, and he can't agree with all of his mother's views," Mom, it's not that I can't watch commercial movies, but I don't have the conditions to shoot them, and everyone has the support of big companies behind them, and if I want to shoot it, I can only ask you and my dad for money, even if I take a thousand dollars out, it's not enough to watch. ”

"Isn't your vision always good, Wall Street has been in such a big trouble recently, my mother is looking for a relationship to borrow you a loan of 100 million US dollars, how about playing a big ticket, so that you will have money to make movies?" Yun Jingyi always said in front of people that she was a senior working girl, but she was already able to get her part in the part-time job, and she could easily get tens of millions of dollars with assets or connections.

"You are just my biological son, why are you in such a hurry to send me to prison?" Visionary can indeed make money in the financial industry, but Liang Baoguang always listens to his father Liang Gesheng advise others: This money must be earned and spent by life, and he thinks so.

The outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis was purely a ghost of the US government, which continued to raise irrational interest rates in order to suppress inflation and curb overall consumption, in order to reduce the amount of money issued and achieve the goal of passing on its own crisis. This move has increased the burden on all negative lenders, as long as a normal person with an IQ exceeding the dolphin can reach three digits, everyone knows that subordinated debt is garbage, but the US government relies on brainwashing over and over again to deceive a bunch of financial industry practitioners with master's and doctoral degrees to eat a large number of them, and then go to the rooftop and jump.

At the end of 2006 and the beginning of 2007, there were still many people optimistic about the momentum of real estate in North America, but Liang Baoguang knew that the bubble would burst in the short term, and he really wanted to make money and could use leverage to obtain more than 4,000 percent (calculated value of 3,814) profits before and after the tide. Turning $100 million into $4 billion sounds like a wonderful thing, but if he did, the F.B.I. would soon come to his door, confiscate his property on all sorts of trumped-up charges, and send him to prison. Oh, because he's from the Celestial Empire, and the one who comes to the door may be the CIA.

"It's always okay to make a small profit, and it doesn't make you go overboard. Yun Jingyi is an MPAcc of the University of Chicago Business School of Business, and Liang Baoguang is an MFin of the Harvard Business School of Analysis.

"If you're happy, I'll write the script. Liang Baoguang was tempted, but this had to wait for him to calm down before he could operate, at the moment his mind was mainly on the movie, he made up his mind to meet Natalie Portman tomorrow when she asked her to help introduce a few old drama bones, he had this already looked like the script in hand, although the plot and connotation are excellent, but it needs a person with strong acting skills to hold up.

Scarlett Johansson is a very ambitious woman, and has always deeply implemented Confucius's "no friends are better than herself", and her friends are better than her and can help, this time Natalie Portman pulled her to participate in the filming of "New York, I Love You", although she did not have the slightest interest, she still agreed without saying a word. She didn't care about filming movies at all, and getting along with Natalie Portman was her main goal, so the two had dinner together in the evening, "Natalie, wouldn't it be better to find a professional actor, and you're still going to tap new talents?"

"It's our Harvard junior, I invited him to play because I looked very eye-catching, and his acting skills were great. Natalie Portman herself can't say why she suddenly fell in love with Liang Baoguang and invited him to participate in the filming of this movie, but she always believed that her feelings would not be wrong, and this man would be very helpful to her.

"Is that guy handsome?" Scarlett Johansson can only attribute the word "eye-rim" to handsome.

"It's really handsome, and he has a very special temperament, but that's not the point, the point is that he fits my character. Natalie Portman frowned, she prefers to look at things from a professional perspective, the choice of roles in the film is a very serious matter, even if she has told the producer that she has the right to cast, but she is not the one who makes anyone the lead actor because of personal love.

"Temperament, it's hard to talk about......" Scarlett Johansson shook her head, sometimes this thing seems to lie to herself, "What about others, why didn't they come to New York with you?"

"He's already here, but he has a place to live in New York, and his mother is the CFO of NEE Energy and has a ...... on the Upper East Side," Natalie Portman didn't know about this before, and it was only after coming to New York that he learned about the student's family background.

"The NEE Group that generates electricity?" Scarlett Johansson suddenly became interested.
