Never underestimate a truly talented person, even when he's down, because you never know if they'll be able to rise back overnight one day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Nicolas Cage and Keno Reeves are such people, even if they have nothing and are full of debt, their true value has never faded because of this, but has become more deep and layered due to the tempering and accumulation of life.

Therefore, even if they are down, they are still eligible to come to today's dinner at this level, and the truly discerning people in Hollywood know that what they lack is just a good opportunity.

Of course, no matter where they are, the people who really have vision are in the minority, the majority, and they are still snobbish.

Therefore, the two former Hollywood movie stars were not treated by the stars, but sympathized with each other, drinking and chatting alone by the pool, looking at the girls in bikinis playing in the pool.

In this case, a truly high-end actress would not dress too revealingly to swim in the pool. These girls in the water are either third- or fourth-tier stars, or they are simply call girls who spend money to liven up the atmosphere.

It is also because of this that Li Wanting had the opportunity to chat with these two people alone.

The two sides simply exchanged business cards, and Jackson took Li Wanting into the villa to attend the real dinner.

"Very interesting woman." Keanu Reeves said with the rose-edged business card of Li Wanting Taoyuan Pictures.

"It's hard to handle this kind of woman, and Jackson likes to do this kind of challenging thing." Nicholas said with a shrug.

"I'm not interested in women right now, I just want to make money." Keanu Reeves put away his business card, turned his head and asked, "If there is really a drama to be filmed in the East, will you go?" ”

"Why not? Don't you think Hollywood is getting more and more boring? Nicholas said.

……

As Jackson introduced, Li Wanting's popularity at the dinner was almost not weaker than that of several well-known Hollywood actresses who came with her that day, and Li Wanting almost knew everyone she could know.

In the second half of the dinner, Jackson's host, Disney legendary producer Bruckheimer, went to the study on the third floor, where there were some confidential matters to discuss, and Li Wanting's identity was inconvenient to participate.

"Hey, I really don't understand how Jackson would be willing to leave such a glamorous beauty behind and talk to that boring guy at Bruckheimer."

A bearded man walked over and raised his glass at Li Wanting.

It's very face-to-face, I haven't seen it when I introduced it just now, Li Wanting thought she was here to talk, but when she saw that he brought a female companion, she knew that she had guessed wrong.

Although the beard is raw, this female companion is somewhat familiar.

Film and television, film and television. When Li Wanting was in China, in her spare time, in addition to shopping like all girls, she also liked to watch American dramas.

The bearded female companion is not tall, with a small round face, smiling before speaking, and her figure is not particularly bad, and she feels like a baby fat.

"Daenerys. Targaryen? Li Wanting blurted out that the somewhat chubby woman in front of her is the hottest American drama in recent years, "A Song of Ice and Fire. One of the heroines of Game of Thrones, the Mother of Dragons.

But as soon as she said this, Li Wanting realized that she had lost her words. Targaryen is the name of the character she plays, not her real name, in this case, it doesn't matter if you can't recognize the other party, but it's rude to call the wrong name.

"I'm sorry......"

In the center, this chubby chick has a long list of tongue twister-like titles in a magic game, the Andals, the Queen of the Roynar and the Ancestors, the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, the Guardian of the Whole Territory, the Kalixi of the Great Sea of Grass, the Chain Breaker, Queen Meereen, the Princess of Dragonstone, the Unburned, the Mother of Dragons, Daenerys born in the storm, etc., each title represents a legend, and Li Wanting can almost recite all her titles word for word, I can't remember the actor's real name.

"As an actor, I want people to remember my character rather than me." Chubby Girl smiled heartily, "Of course, my real name is Amilia?" Clark, my friends call me Amy. This handsome bearded gentleman is the executive vice president of HBO, Mr. Rivaldo. ”

Of course, HBO TV Network Li Wanting knows that the American cable TV network media company, a subsidiary of Time Warner Group, broadcasts movies, music, documentaries, sports events and other entertainment programs around the clock, which is the only TV company in the world that does not sell advertisements and only relies on user subscriptions, with a total subscriber of 35 million, accounting for 90% of the US pay TV channel market.

"Black. . . The Tao Family", "Color. The most popular American dramas such as "Desire City" and "Game of Thrones" are all from HBO.

"It's a great honor to meet both." Li Wanting winked at the chubby girl Amy, and made up for the 'faux passar' just now in a joking way, "From a personal point of view, I am definitely your loyal fan." ”

"Then I'm going to tell you a secret, I'm a big fan of sleeping movies." The little chubby girl said seriously.

Li Wanting was stunned.

"Haha! Of course, on the premise that fans are also willing. Chubby Girl burst out laughing.

Li Wanting pretended to be frightened and patted her chest, and the chest pulled by this action shook for a while, making the little chubby girl's eyes light up.

Li Wanting didn't snub Rivaldo, and asked, "Mr. Vice President, can you give me a spoiler?" Is Snow dead or not? ”

Rivaldo chuckled: "Last week I was speeding and was stopped by a Utah patrol officer who told me that if I answered the same question about him, he could let me go. Beautiful young lady, if you want to know spoilers, you have to pay sincerity? ”

"I don't have the power to enforce the law." Li Wanting said with a smile.

"Interested in a cameo role in the next season? In the next season, there will be a peerless beauty who caused the Great War of the Four Kingdoms to appear, and we have been looking for a long time, but we have not found a suitable brunette beauty. There aren't many scenes, so it shouldn't take up too much of your time. Filming will probably start at the end of the year. ”

"Snow's mother? But I'm an Oriental. Li Wanting was stunned.

"That's the beauty of the magic show, and we have highly skilled makeup artists." Rivaldo smiled.

"Then I'll have to ask my company first." Li Wanting said.

"Of course."

Today is a gathering of the film industry, and these two HBO celebrities don't have much intersection with the people in the circle, so they chatted with Li Wanting in the corridor.

As he spoke, he talked about Huaxia's movies and television.

HBO does not rely on selling advertisements, but relies on user subscriptions, and has developed into a leading television station in the United States, which can make TV dramas into blockbusters, and its strength is undoubted.

According to Su Ming's development route of quality is king, HBO is undoubtedly an excellent mentor.

"International standards, in fact, I don't quite understand why Chinese filmmakers always like to use this word."

Rivaldo shrugged his shoulders and said: "In HBO's view, whether it is a movie or a TV series, the essence is to tell a story, the story is good-looking, and the characters are wonderful. Both the East and the West have very good stories, so why do they have to be in line with the so-called international standards? ”

"Values?" Li Wanting asked.

"Perhaps, but truly positive values must be universal, understandable to normal human beings, and do not need to be integrated."

Rivaldo affirmed: "With all due respect, I have seen some movies that are so-called in line with international standards, but the feeling that gives me ...... They don't seem to understand the true meaning of 'integration', as HBO has always believed, in the West, our core is not exaggerated special effects, big explosions, all kinds of dazzling high-tech, these things, just serve the plot.

For example, when we were filming the first season of Game of Thrones, we didn't spend much money on special effects. Because the story is good, the audience likes it, and the market response is enthusiastic, we started spending a lot of money on special effects from the second season.

A good story is fundamental, and technology is the icing on the cake. Conversely, no matter how much money you spend, the market won't buy it. If you have to be connected, the first thing should be the integration of the concept of the movie: to shoot a good-looking story, not the integration of special effects. ”

Li Wanting nodded: "Then what makes a good story?" ”

"Of course, the subject matter should be new. But no matter how novel the subject matter is, it is inseparable from the soil of reality. We are not interested in what has no roots. A good story is a talented professional screenwriter who finds the maximum value that can touch the audience's heart on the basis of an unconventional story. It's a pity that the few Chinese blockbusters I've watched are all based on the traditions of Chinese culture, but the plot has flown to Taiyuan, and I haven't seen where their roots are. ”

Li Wanting thought for a while and asked a very bold question: "What do you think of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?" ”

Before going along, I shouldn't have asked such a clear question, not to mention that all parties in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon are all old-timers of Taoyuan Film and Television.

But Li Wanting feels that there must be a clear benchmark and comparison in order to figure out the right direction for the future.

Rivaldo pondered for a moment and said, "The box office will tell you everything!" In my opinion, the film did well at the box office, but it didn't reach the heights it should have. He raised his glass to Li Wanting and said with a smile: "Audiences all over the world are looking forward to good stories, good stories are scarce all over the world, in the eyes of Western film and television people, the East is not only a huge box office, but also a big treasure with endless good stories, if you don't dig it yourself, sooner or later, Hollywood people will dig it." ”

Li Wanting's heart was slightly shocked.

In the game of rights, the 'Great Wall', which runs through the whole play and plays a major role, blocks the invasion of the northern barbarians, and its creativity comes entirely from the Great Wall of China.

At this moment, for the first time in her life, she felt the responsibility that an oriental film and television person should bear. (To be continued.) )
