Section 169 Awkward Jack
Bundchen swears that if she still had some intention of using Levy when she first met Levy, now all she wants to do is cling to Levy's side, even if it is at the cost of everything. It's just a pity that she soon discovers that for Levy, the meeting with Bundchen is obviously more important for work, and for him, Bündchen's greater significance lies in her mind.
When Bündchen learned this, she worked harder in preparing the show - she still had some confidence in her mind, and she also told Levy some of her own opinions from time to time while making the show.
"In fact, it is difficult to select really outstanding models in such auditions." In private, Bundchen also talked to Levy, "Modeling is also a very professional profession, and we need to be models for a long time. The amateur models selected like this are not a little bit different from each other, and it is difficult for them to become top models in their lives. ”
For the show itself, Bundchen has nothing to fault with. However, Bundchen felt a little unaccustomed to this way of selecting models. She knows very well how hard it takes for a model to be successful, and to pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of the media like this to become a model? She thought it was incredible. These candidates are in a mess, can this kind of amateur model attract the attention of others?
In her opinion, this is the biggest problem with Levy's show.
"You don't need to tell me this," said you. Levy just smiled, "Of course I know that. Just, what does it matter? Their future is not something we think about, we only think about the ratings. ”
Of course, Levy knows very well that such a show can't create real stars: not to mention models, American idols are similar, and it is difficult to produce real stars in such a form of auditions. Levy is well aware of how hard it takes to become an idol. Hype certainly plays a big role. But its own strength. It is also quite important. These auditioned stars are not good in strength after all, and it may be difficult to become famous in the future.
It's just that. Levy didn't care about any of that. For him. The purpose of this show is to make money. Do you care more than that?
The selling point of such a TV show is not to create stars - this is just a gimmick, the real highlight of the TV show. It's the poisonous tongue of the judges, the bizarre appearance of the audition, and the clever and dramatic clash of various designs, and it is best to have the contestants and the judges spray each other to be fun...... In contrast, it doesn't really matter how well the song is sung and what style it is.
"You just need to do a good job of the show, what their future looks like, they need to work their own." Levy didn't pay much attention to this, "They are willing to work hard to become real stars, that's their thing, and if they really don't have talent, at least our show has allowed them to enjoy their star moments." Whether or not to become a star is not something we can decide, and we provide a platform with possibilities, isn't that enough? ”
It's a bit cruel, but it's also a reality: it's impossible to expect all the stars of entertainment shows to become talented.
Bundchen and Cowell can all accept this statement. They all went to work on their own programs. As for the preparation for the production of the TV show, Levy just started and then didn't care so much.
Compared to having to take care of everything when he started a business, he doesn't have to be in such a hurry now. During this time, he was more resting, and only when necessary, he would go to see things at work - for Levy, unless it was his favorite movie that he would put a lot of energy into producing, he didn't care much about other things, especially such a TV show purely to collect money, he didn't even have the interest of being a producer, just hiding behind the scenes to produce.
So, during this time, he was in Miami to oversee the production of CSI Miami, but what he really did was enjoy the beaches and yacht life in Miami.
Of course, during this time, Levy will have to go elsewhere when he is fine. For example, if you go to Canada to see how your film shoot is going, then go to Maine, visit the setting of the Cider House Rule, catch up with Theron, or go to New York to see the catwalk, watch the play, or go back to Los Angeles to see the preparation of the TV show, or discuss the acquisition of the script with Alexander...... Rarely did his life have been so pleasant.
This kind of life almost made Levi lose interest in going out to work again. It wasn't until a phone call from Canada that Levy knew that his peaceful life had been shattered.
"Nick, would you like to come over?" On the other end of the phone, Bob's tone was a little helpless, "Something is wrong here." ”
"What's the problem?" Levy asked rhetorically.
No matter what he says, he is still the producer of the X-Men, and when he heard Bob say that there was something on the crew's side, of course he was nervous. The promotion of the film had already been carried out, and he didn't want such a change as a temporary substitution.
"The actors have conflicting issues...... I think only you can solve it. ”
The actors have conflicts, there is a director, their agent is here, and you are the assistant producer, what else do you need me to do? With such a question, Levy arrived in Canada, and as soon as he arrived, Levy immediately understood why.
Bob is not so much unmanageable as he is not—because the party at odds with him is none other than his and Levy's best friend Jack.
No wonder Levy needed to come over - this man couldn't be taken care of by anyone else -
As one of the founders of Mystery Inc., Jack can be said to be the most unsuccessful of several people in recent years.
After Levy finished filming the eavesdropping storm, Jack became famous. And he was originally one of the small bosses of the mystery company, and after becoming famous, there were many people in the circle who asked him to act. At the beginning, he also worked hard to shoot two literary films, wanting to make a name for himself - among his good friends, there are famous directors and famous screenwriters, they have all been to the Oscars, and Jack naturally wants to walk the red carpet.
However, his luck was clearly not good enough. Two films were filmed in a row, but both failed, the first one was only released in a local area, and the latter one was not released at all. On the one hand, he has a rather failed career as a film actor, and on the other hand, he is the owner of a film company that is making money every day, which makes Jack's life quite wonderful, and even he once gave up his career as an actor and returned to the company to be a behind-the-scenes staff - otherwise, when a few friends meet, their topic of discussion is the Oscars, and the topic they say is that no one wants to release movies, which is too much contrast.
It's just that Levy doesn't agree with his idea very much - after all, he is only 24 years old, and actors in this grade lack experience, and they can't perform, it's not a shameful thing, he still has a chance. And in order to show his support, Levy also decided to use his power to find him a role in his own movie.
Compared to other films, the X-Men are obviously the best place to start: this movie is a commercial film anyway, and the acting skills required are relatively average.
And Levy is also very satisfied with Levy's arrangement: he can't read a lot of comics, he likes the X-Men series very much, Levi asked him to play Laser Eye in the movie, and he is also a character he likes very much - although he also knows that the role of Laser Eye is not the main role in the movie, and there is an eye patch that covers half of his face, and he doesn't even have to show his eyes, so letting him play this is purely because Levy doesn't trust his acting skills, but since such a role is a character he likes, he can accept it.
It's just that he didn't expect that even if Levy took care of him so much, he would still get into trouble.
"Jack seems to want to play with the actresses in the drama crew, and then someone pushes him back." When Bob told Levy about the situation, there was a rather gloating expression on his face, "You know, Jack has always been very conceited about his attractiveness, and after the mystery company got bigger and bigger, he was even more famous, wealthy, and everything in appearance, basically he was never rejected by a woman, and now that he was topped, he was unhappy." ”
Bob told Levy what happened: It's that simple, earlier, Jack was acting on the set, I don't know whether it was true or fake, and made provocative remarks about Beckinsale, who played the demon girl. But Beckinsale was a straight temper and bluntly pushed back. Jack has always felt that he is very attractive, and he is also very conceited of his charm, and this time he was hard topped by a woman, and his face was quite shameless.
If it's someone else, who is rejected by a woman, and his face is dull, he just hides by himself. However, in addition to being an actor, Jack is also one of the owners of the company, which is more troublesome. He made trouble in the crew, and as a rookie director, Nolan didn't dare to reprimand the company's small boss too much, and the filming of the movie came to an impasse.
"Won't you end up scolding him yourself? Do you still need to call me for this kind of thing? Levy frowned at Bob's statement.
Others don't dare to reprimand him because of his identity, but why should Bob care so much?
"Of course it's easy for me to scold him, but Jack has been a little knotted lately, so it's better for you to go and talk to him." Bob shrugged, "I think you're the only one who can convince him, and besides, Beckinsale, you'll have to comfort him." After she scolded Jack, she was always worried that something would go wrong. ”
Levy frowned, but Bob was insistent, "Beckinsale, you can comfort, Jack won't care—he's not unhappy because of a woman, but more depressed because of a failed career." Among the few of us, he is the only one who has no achievements now, and he is due to his inferiority. Nick, when you point out other actors to success, you're very capable, so why don't you point out your friends? (To be continued......)
