Two days later, Hollywood, the headquarters of Legendary Pictures. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the president's conference room, there were a total of five people sitting, namely Gu Mojie, Wen Wanqing, Quan Baoer, and Thomas Legend, president of Legendary Pictures. Toll, "Inception" director and screenwriter Nolan. The atmosphere was tense.

Nolan is 38 years old this year, and he should not be confused after the filming of "Inception".

This is his life's work of "sharpening a sword for ten years", and it is absolutely intolerable for investors to insult his artistic dream with dirty money.

"No! Miss Kwon is not at all suitable for the role of 'Adrian the Dream Builder' - although I want a ****** who looks young and spiritual at first glance; But first of all, that girl has to have a bookish atmosphere, a kind of plasticity that erupts out - Miss Quan's aura does not match it at all, and after watching the effect of the audition, she can't comprehend that feeling at all. ”

Facing the girl introduced by Gu Mojie, Nolan directly vetoed it in person.

Of course, before Gu Mojie flew to the United States, he had already given Quan Baoer the opportunity to audition for her.

Thomas. Tur coordinated in the middle, and after listening to Nolan's face-to-face refusal, he felt bitter in his mouth, and cold sweat was about to come down.

On the one hand, he is the number one director who has been most relied on by the company since its establishment three years ago, and on the other hand, he is the absolute major shareholder who now accounts for eighty percent of the company's shares. He, the president, is caught in the middle, and it's really a bit difficult to do.

Unspoken rules are everywhere, and Hollywood will not be cleaner than the entertainment industry in East Asia.

It's just that today's drama is Gu Mojie's turn to play the "black-boss who wields tens of billions of dollars to suppress people", and Nolan has become "a hard bone who does not hesitate to offend the powerful for the sake of artistic ideals".

Thomas Tur still had some feelings, and seeing Gu Mojie's face pale, he leaned into Gu Mojie's ear and quietly explained:

"Nolan is the best director in the company, and you don't want to lose money on your investment. And we have been working happily with the publisher Warner Bros. for many years, and there are many people on Warner's side who appreciate Nolan, so if you are in a hurry, why bother to force him to another ship for Warner. ”

Gu Mojie thought that he had more respect for the artist's choice, and he didn't say that he had to stuff Quan Baoer into the position of the second female lead. But Tour's singing and harmony that didn't give face when they opened the door made him very unhappy.

You girl, my lord smashed you four or five billion dollars, you should smash it for nothing? Without Lao Tzu's money, how can these so-called "independent film companies" play "art"?

If Gu Mojie was not Chinese, he would be another American investor sitting here today, no matter what the other party's opinion is, at least Nolan would definitely be much more polite when he spoke.

Hollywood people are used to it, and they feel that Chinese do not understand film art.

Gu Mojie's masterpiece was about to attack, and Quan Bao'er on the side saw that his expression was wrong, and motioned to Nolan and Tur to avoid it. The two of them didn't know why, so they first excused themselves to go to the lounge to smoke a cigarette.

"If you can't act, you can't act, don't make trouble for me." Quan Baoer's palms were sweaty, pinching Gu Mojie's arm and shaking to persuade, "I know my strength, and my acting skills are really not good." You have such a good film, you are going to hit the Oscars, don't be affected by me. ”

"Don't talk about discouragement......"

"Promise me!" Bao'er stubbornly insisted, and Gu Mojie could see an inexplicable firmness in her gaze.

His heart softened, and he was not ready to embarrass Nolan.

Bao'er wanted to rely on her own strength to get ahead, and she dragged it up, which hurt her self-esteem.

After smoking, Tur and Nolan returned to the conference room and sat down, waiting for Gu Mojie to speak.

"I'm reasonable." Gu Mojie picked up the lemon tea in his hand and took a sip, his tone couldn't hear the anger, "Why can't she show that spirituality, bookishness, and plasticity?" As long as you make it clear, I will retract my request to let her play the second female today. ”

"Don't hurry up and tell Mr. Gu about it! Do you speak to investors like that? President Tur was pardoned and rushed to urge Nolan to explain.

Nolan was very impulsive at first, and when he saw that Gu Mojie was willing to be reasonable, he was a little embarrassed - he had already prepared that if he had to be forced to accept it today, he would resign and join Warner Bros., so he spoke recklessly.

"Mr. Gu, I hope you understand - according to the script, Adrian the Dream Builder is the main character, Daum. Cobb recruited an intern from his father, Professor Cobb Sr. Adrian's character is a top student of psychology at the University of Paris, and he needs to show a process and transformation of 'sublimation from an academic school to an innovative school'.

Miss Kwon's problem is not in her skin color and race, nor in her lack of creativity and spirituality. It's that she's enough at the beginning and can't show the 'process of growing up'. It can be said that the character of Adrian, the dream builder, is a witness who 'witnesses the process of dreaming and the perfection of dream building theory throughout the play', so it is very important for the expressiveness of 'growth'......"

Gu Mojie felt irritated, grabbed his hair, took out a cigar from the oak humidor and held it in his hand. Just as he was about to pull out the sulfur match, he remembered that Quan Bao'er was by his side, so he held back and continued to can drinks instead.

Girls who sing must protect their voices, and Gu Mojie will not smoke in front of Bao'er.

"You mean, because she didn't go to college, she doesn't have the arrogance of a high-achieving student? Was she too professional and mature to begin with? ”

Nolan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly added: "You can also understand it this way - of course, not going to college is not necessary. Recently, I auditioned for another female role, which is also a quasi-newcomer, and I have only made three small productions before, and I am a year younger than Miss Quan. The other party's education is only a high school graduate, but I think that the 'general education' she received is relatively sufficient, and she can express the 'process of growing up in the style of the academy and practical style'. ”

Gu Mojie smiled bitterly.

Although Quan Baoer has studied and passed the junior high school and high school courses, strictly speaking, she will receive classroom education until the second year of junior high school, and she will study and self-examine while being an artist.

Campus life is really the shortcomings and omissions of Bao'er's life.

In this case, there is no need to force this "young character who embodies growth". It's better to just change to a more mature character from beginning to end.

Gu Mojie always believes that "acting in his true colors" can at least make up for the lack of acting skills.

"Then let's leave this matter at that, who is the woman you are new to like, I will also see the situation." Gu Mojie asked this sentence, even if he gave up the appeal just now.

Nolan hurriedly handed over the information: "It's called Alan Page, Canadian, 1987, 21 years old, she has acted in three small productions before, but she is really good at playing characters like 'genius girl'." ”

"Then Alan Page." Gu Mojie glanced at the information, looked at the audition footage, and didn't insist on the original idea, "However, I will smash you for 150 million dollars to make this film." If you can't even arrange a secondary role for Miss Quan, it seems a bit unreasonable. ”

"yes, yes, it's good to give a character who wants a little bit more." Tur was playing in the center, and Gu Mojie's concession had already made him very happy.

Nolan's impression of Gu Mojie has also changed a lot, and he feels that this investor is quite reasonable, and he is even more embarrassed.

He also thought that even if he went to Warner Bros., of course Warner would have no problem taking him in. But Warner is unlikely to support his film with a large budget of $150 million.

"But there are really few female characters in this film...... You know, adventure, suspense, action...... These elements are mixed together, and it is really difficult to insert female characters. In addition to Mar and Adrian, the other characters insist on women, and they are all female figures......"

"Female man......" Gu Mojie's brain went through it quickly, and he couldn't grasp it for a while, so he said, "This matter is like this for the time being, let's talk about it tomorrow, and Miss Quan and I will go back and discuss the script and character design." ”

Turru was pardoned and personally sent Gu Mojie and his two sisters away.

Parking at the door was Gu Mojie's "palace element" RV.

Gu Mojie was in a bad mood, so he dismissed the female bodyguard who played the role of the driver, and he and Bao'er drove themselves and left the company.

The single-transparent glass of the "palace elements" is bulletproof, and the body structure also has special armor steel ranging from 8~20 mm. When he drove this thing out, Gu Mojie was not afraid of danger.

……

Long Beach, on the golden sands of Sunset Bay. The "palace element" drove rudely to a place less than a hundred meters from the sea.

The carriage is in a state of "unfolding", and the interior of the car is a "90-square-meter three-bedroom" unit, with a 360° bulletproof glass porthole on the second floor fully raised, and solar panels on the top.

The sunlight filtered to the warmest illumination spills into the car. Because of the semi-permeable coating, it is impossible for people on the outside to see what is happening inside.

It's afternoon, and the winter sunset is being swallowed up by the Pacific Ocean.

Gu Mojie lay on the sofa on all fours. The inexplicable unwillingness, with a sense of powerlessness, gradually dissipated.

Quan Bao'er, who was pressed by Gu Mojie on the bulletproof glass for a whole hour, also collapsed and slipped against the glass. Two "greasy" drag marks can also be seen on the glass.

"Do you blame me?" Gu Mojie gasped and held Bao'er in his arms, confused and not confident.

This lack of self-confidence has not been seen in years. Since his fortune exceeded 10 billion yuan, no one has ever said no to him in person.

But he's still a sentimental one.

"Don't think too much about it, there's a chance in the future - I don't want you to offend others for me. I have dreams, and they have dreams. Bao'er was very reasonable and didn't have the slightest resentment, "By the way, how did you think of bringing Wanqing to the United States with you this time." You're usually enough to snub her. ”

Gu Mojie rubbed Bao'er's smooth skin and muttered: "Isn't this that she knows more about movies, although she studied animation." This kind of thing always has to be trusted best by your own woman. ”

"How can this be! Aren't you taking advantage of her? Bao'er persuaded with a pleasant face.

Over the past year, she and several women around Gu Mojie have also become a little familiar. Among them, the most familiar is, of course, Felilo, who has lived in Hollywood for more than half a year. On Wen Wanqing's side, when Bao'er calmed down, she thought about it carefully, and felt that she owed each other more or less.

At the beginning, if Wen Wanqing hadn't hosted the voice actor recording of Hatsune Singer and took Bao'er to Jiangnan Club to celebrate her birthday, Bao'er would not have known Gu Mojie, after all, there is a grace in this. And now Bao'er's status in Gu Mojie's heart has surpassed Wen Wanqing.

The two were talking about this, and the doorbell of the staircase of the second-floor carriage rang, and Gu Mojie pressed the answer button, which was a gentle voice.

"Sister Bao'er, is it convenient to come up now? I'd like to discuss a new discovery from the script. ”

Gu Mojie was about to say wait, but Bao'er preemptively said, "Come up." ”

Gu Mojie glanced at Bao'er complainingly, and was about to wear underwear.

Bao'er also packed up her bikini in two or two, drank some water, and looked at Gu Mojie's appearance and felt funny: "Isn't she also your woman, what is there to pretend." ”

The staircase door opened, and Wen Wanqing, who was also dressed in a bikini, walked in with the script and character design. She only flickered slightly in the doorway, and quickly returned to normal.

It's a beach sunbathing atmosphere, and the girls are all wearing bikinis.

Bao'er took Wen Wanqing's hand and sat on the sofa by the window. That look seems to be back to the atmosphere of good sisters two years ago, when a group of girls were recording the voice actor material of Hatsune singer in the recording studio. (To be continued.) )
