Chapter 71: Coaxing and scareting
made a "sorry" gesture to Julia, Xiao Yang encouraged his three-inch tongue, and continued to flicker: "Starting from this year, the movies you take over will continue to decline in terms of box office and word-of-mouth, whether it is a romantic comedy that you are good at or a horror thriller or historical drama that tries to change the way of play, you will inevitably fall into a cycle of failure, hard work, failure again, hard work, and even more failure, when the popularity and appeal you have accumulated before are exhausted, The producers of the major studios will gradually lose patience and interest in you, and eventually you will be left in a situation where you have no films to film, and you can only make a living by running around in some small-scale dramas......"
Most of what he said is true, in the next two years, Julia will indeed fall into a career trough and can't extricate herself, not because of her poor acting skills and lack of strength, but because her luck is too bad, and at the same time, she can't keep up with the changes in external factors such as market consumption and audience demand Bringing her splendor and taking off again?
The trick of fortune-telling with a magic stick, one coaxing, two scaring and three bluffing, if you don't scare you with six gods and no owner, how can you coax you to get off the ...... willingly What about the money?
Julia was indeed frightened by his prediction, so that her original bright smile froze on her face, and after being in the big dye vat of Hollywood for so long, she was not the kind of character who could be bluffed by a few words, but the hard facts made her have to pay attention to it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The experience of her parents' divorce since she was a child left an indelible impression and influence on her, which led to her always acting recklessly in terms of feelings, daring to love and hate, but never regarded herself as a vassal of a man, so the fragmentation of her feelings was sad but also made her feel relieved and reborn, but the decline of her acting career and even the end of her career is not something she can accept calmly, after all, for a person like her who is arrogant, she has been successful, brilliant, Having had everything and then losing the roots of these battles to survive is no different from chronic suicide.
However, the reality often does not meet people's wishes, as early as the tragic painting of "Keep a Lover", the statement about her "box office poison" has begun to circulate in private, and when "Captain Hook" was filmed later, some people even said that her appeal is no longer good, and she can only win the role of Tinker Bell by selling her hue, so that her economic people can't raise their heads when they fight for the role and salary for her.
If Xiao Yang unfortunately said that it is not as good as making one film from now on, then with the fierce competition in Hollywood, I am afraid that her position and box office appeal will soon be replaced by those newcomers who keep popping up like mushrooms after a rain, and then ...... She didn't dare to continue imagining, and felt Judy reach out and press her shoulder to comfort her, she grabbed her palm with her backhand, shook it gratefully, and asked Xiao Yang with a forced smile: "But you must have a way to reverse all this, just like you saved those citizens who might have died in the earthquake, didn't you?" ”
"I didn't save them, I just prophesied the catastrophe, and it was they who saved themselves." Since she has made up her mind to respect history and respect the rules, how can Xiao Yang easily make changes for her alone, not to mention that she hasn't seen tangible benefits yet, "I'm sorry, Julia, but this is your destiny, and it is almost impossible to be changed." ”
"But 'almost' doesn't mean 'absolutely', does it?" Capturing Xiao Yang's deliberate language sickness, Julia's eyes lit up instantly, "As a prophet and a prophet, you must know some remedy, right?" ”
"Perhaps, but this attempt to change the future is expensive, complex and difficult, and even a brief narrative can take hours, and it is unlikely to be effective in the short term." After giving her an almost ethereal hope, Xiao Yang turned his head to look at Mel Gibson, "Considering that the time is not early, why don't you make another appointment to discuss in detail, now, let me predict Mel's fate first, okay?" ”
"Fair enough." Julia squeezed out a slightly reluctant smile and got up to give way, "He's yours, Mel." ”
"Thank you, Julie." Handing her a reassuring smile, Mel Gibson sat across from Xiao Yang and took the initiative to extend his left hand to him, "Is that the same hand?" ”
"No, it's not necessary." Xiao Yang was not interested in touching his hands and feet with a big man, so he simply refused: "There is a difference between men and women, just look at the face." ”
"Judging from the physiognomy, you also don't have any heavyweight works this year, take the "Gambler Ma Huali" that you and Judy just starred in, it has not been successful in grasping the rhythm of the story, the scene of fighting wits is not brilliant enough, and the final ending is also quite blunt, to put it bluntly, it is supported by the personal charm of the two of you, so it will not be satisfactory in terms of box office and word-of-mouth." Xiao Yang searched for information about this movie in his mind, and revealed as appropriate: "Of course, as a typical commercial film, humorous and resolute handsome guys plus wild and intelligent beauties, combined with rugged and heroic western style, this movie still has a certain point of view, there is no problem in recovering the investment and making a small profit, there is no need to expect too much in terms of awards, a nomination for an Oscar for Best Costume, that's all." ”
Mel Gibson and Judy looked at each other, no one would be surprised by his words, yes, "Gambler Ma Huali" is a typical commercial film, they took over the film for the purpose of pay, no one expected to win any awards through it, but the film is in post-production, at least a few months before the official release, why does his tone sound like he has already seen a sample film - well, for a prophet like him who can even predict earthquakes in advance, And there's nothing surprising about that.
"The real turning point in your fate will come at the end of this year, early next year, when you will be approached by a big-budget epic war biopic, and you will also establish yourself as a Hollywood superstar and director." As he spoke, Xiao Yang's gaze gradually lost focus, and he landed in the air behind him over the top of the other party's head, his eyes rolled and his eyelids trembled slightly, and he said something in his mouth: "What kind of voice is that...... There are horns, there are Scottish bagpipes, there are cries of pain, and the neighing of war horses...... That's you! You have long hair, you wear a short skirt, you ride a war horse, and you wield a long sword...... You're under siege, you're framed, you're being sent to the gallows, you're shouting...... Freedom! ”
