"Andy, don't be so embarrassed if you don't think the script is very good or the events in this script are controversial. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Paul? Haggis saw that Liu Anran's face was about to crumple, and said with a wry smile.

Eastwood sat on the side, not caring about the two of them, just as if they were the same introducer.

"No, Paul, it's a great script." Liu Anran shook his head and said.

"What I'm thinking about is that if I start filming now, next year's release will definitely compete with our "Million Dollar Baby" film, and I really don't know how to deal with it."

Hearing Liu Anran's words, Paul? Haggis was stunned, but Eastwood nodded in satisfaction.

He has read this script, and it is precisely because he thinks the script is also great that he will help Paul? Haggis introduced Liu Anran. He knew that what Liu Anran lacked in order to revive MGM was a script that could impact the Oscars, if he didn't know Paul? Haggis wanted to direct it himself this time, and he wanted to buy the script and shoot it himself.

"Andy, there's actually another thing, this script was written by Paul himself, and his idea was that he could direct the film himself." See Paul? Haggis was left happy, Eastwood said with a smile.

Liu Anran nodded and said: "I have always felt that the best script is the script written by the director himself or participated in writing. Because such a script will be changed very little during the filming process, the director can also show the world described in the script to the audience during the shooting. ”

"I only have one request, can we shoot this scene later? Aiming for a release in 2005? For "Million Dollar Baby", I am really confident that I can make an impact on the Oscars. ”

"OK, Andy, as long as you are willing to invest and let me shoot, I can do anything." Paul? Haggis nodded happily.

"There is still some controversy in this script, and I made the issue of racial discrimination too clear in the script. I was thinking that if no one was willing to invest, even if I borrowed money, I would shoot it. ”

"Haha, this is controversial? Did you know that in 2005, our company will invest in a same-sex film and hand it over to director Ang Lee to shoot. I'm not worried about this kind of theme, so you don't have any trouble in my eyes at all. Liu Anran said with a laugh.

"Same-sex theme, are you talking about the script of "Brokeback Mountain"?" Eastwood asked curiously.

Liu Anran nodded, "Have you also heard of this script?" ”

"Why haven't you heard of it, it was about to become a legendary script in Hollywood at that time, but I didn't expect it to fall into your hands. This script is very challenging, and if it is filmed well, it will also have a chance to hit the Oscars. But if the shooting is not good, I'm afraid it's not just those who reject the same sex? People who are in love will resist you, even those who have come out of the closet. Eastwood said with a wry smile.

"But if director Ang Lee is in charge of filming, there should be no problem. His films have a unique charm, especially in terms of literary films. ”

"Well, that's what I thought about too, that's why I put the script on for so long, and now I feel like it's almost time." Liu Anran said with a smile, and looked at Paul again after speaking, "By the way, Paul, how much money are you going to invest in this film?" ”

"I think 10 million dollars should be about the same." Paul? Haggis said with some hesitation.

Liu Anran shook his head, "Less, too little, I'll give you 20 million US dollars." This is a film that can hit the Oscars, and you can't think about saving money when casting. Although we can postpone the filming time, you can do it earlier. ”

"Just choose the most suitable actor in your heart, don't think about money. Even if our company is short of money, it is not bad to invest in this film. But as long as I can get the little golden man, all my investment will be recovered, and I must not make mistakes in terms of actors. ”

He doesn't remember the plot of this film very clearly, but he remembers that this film also invited a lot of powerful actors.

Paul? Haggis was a little dumbfounded, normally the investor controls the investment, and it's good to get to Andy, I'm afraid that your money is not enough to spend, and on the basis of your own offer, you will double it, not to mention the possibility of additional investment.

"Paul, congratulations, there are no problems with the filming of this film." Eastwood to a somewhat stunned Paul? Haggis said congratulatorily.

Now he admires Liu Anran's courage very much, and when he sees the script, he feels that he has a chance to hit the Oscars and dares to give so much investment, which is very rare, at least he must investigate the market of this film.

"Paul, do you not have a permanent company now, and you just work by yourself?" Liu Anran asked with a smile.

Paul? Haggis nodded.

"Then come to MGM, our company's screenwriting team is in dire need of a lot of talent. When you work at MGM, you can create whatever you want and get a fixed salary. What if you want to make a movie and have priority in shooting? Liu Anran continued to ask with a smile.

Paul? Haggis was stunned again, there was something strange about what had happened to him today. If it weren't for Eastwood here, and he had seen Liu Anran's photos in the media, he would have felt that he had encountered a liar.

"Andy, aren't you? How can you go anywhere and dig where. Eastwood on the side said with a wry smile.

"What's wrong? Originally, our screenwriting team was very short of people. As you can see from this script, Paul is a very good screenwriter, and of course I want to invite him to join our company. Liu Anran shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Our company's screenwriting team will be the focus of the project in the next two years, Paul, I sincerely invite you to join our company."

"Okay, I'll think about it, I'm used to creating on my own." Paul? Haggis nodded.

"You can rest assured that every screenwriter can apply for their own office and set it up at will." Liu Anran nodded with a smile and said.

In order to revive MGM he really worked hard, like Paul? There is a real shortage of screenwriters like Haggis. Such talents can't always think about cultivating themselves, and their growth needs a process. If there is Paul? A veteran screenwriter like Haggis will definitely be able to play a good guiding role.
