Chapter 18: Miss, your badge is slanted
Movies are a game played by capitalists, and Xiansen has always agreed with this sentence, no, before the stitches were removed from the wound after surgery, he dragged Leonardo to West Washington Avenue in Coward, California, which is the corporate headquarters of Columbia Pictures.
"O evil capitalists, damn the capitalist system."
Looking at the sky-high building, Xiansen couldn't help but complain fiercely.
"Hey, Mister, listen to me, it's useless for you to go in like this, none of them will believe you. Besides, I have another way to help you get in touch with the top management of the Columbia company. ”
Standing outside the Columbia Pictures building, Leonardo kindly persuaded him, he felt that it was very irrational for Xiansen to run around with the script to solicit investment in this way, because no one would believe what he said.
Xiansen raised the script in Yang's hand, which he created himself according to the plot given by the script card, and the script card has a drawback, that is, it will not provide you with a complete and detailed storyboard script before the official shooting, so Xiansen can only extend it on the existing story outline, and then write such a thing.
"Leo, I know they don't know me, so you see, didn't I bring you here? They just need to know you. ”
Everyone has a blind spot, so Leonardo inadvertently ignored himself, in fact, he can't be blamed for this, mainly because no director has ever used the fame of an actor to pull investment, after all, almost all movies are made with investment first, and then the role is selected.
After re-examining the script and then straightening his clothes, Xiansen took a deep breath. He was nervous because he didn't know what exactly would await him next, but he was also excited because his film project had finally officially begun.
"Leo, let's go."
Xiansen snapped his fingers at Leonardo, just a sign that he was relaxing himself
Columbia Pictures' building is quite imposing, and as soon as you step into the lobby, you feel like you have lost time. The whole hall is in a retro style, and the movie posters are decorated with the borders of old photos, which looks more artistic.
The reception area of the lobby is designed to resemble the government hall of the United States in the sixties of the last century, with the classic logo of Columbia Pictures printed on the gray wallpaper, the woman holding the torch.
The receptionist was a blonde woman, not very old, with a nice voice. After seeing Xiansen and Leonardo walk in, he politely asked, "Two gentlemen, is there anything wrong?" ”
Looking at the female receptionist's pair of career lines that might burst their clothes at any time, Xiansen touched Leonardo with his arm and whispered maliciously: "I found that the 'capitalist' looks good now." ”
Hearing Xiansen's obscene tone, Leonardo hurriedly pretended not to know the other party.
"Beautiful young lady, I'm here to talk about cooperation, I have a movie to talk to your boss."
Seeing that Leonardo did not show the slightest interest in his topic, Xiansen also returned his mind to film investment and answered the question of the hostess with a smile.
"Film investment?"
The receptionist flipped through the record sheet at the front desk, and still asked politely, "Sir, do you have any appointments?"
Booking?
After hearing this word, Leonardo shook his head unconsciously, he knew that today's trip was really in vain, how could such a big film company be seen by anyone casually.
"Beautiful young lady, of course there is, you see who I came with."
Xiansen pushed the innocent Leonardo to the front as he spoke, and after carefully seeing Leonardo's appearance, the reception lady opened her mouth wide in surprise.
"Jack?"
The lethality of "Titanic" is really huge, and a movie made the receptionist remember the role of Jack, but of course, she didn't know what Leonardo's real name was.
Nodding, Xiansen continued: "Hurry up and inform your person in charge, let's just say that a big director brought Leonardo to talk to him about a movie." To add, the male protagonist of "Titanic". ”
After speaking, Xiansen snapped his fingers very chicly.
"Okay, please wait."
The psychological quality of the female receptionist is still quite strong, after losing her mind for a while, she immediately returned to her usual state, said politely, and then walked towards the conference room behind the hall, she was going to go directly to the manager to talk about it.
"I've never seen such a shameless person as you!"
Seeing the back of the female receptionist gradually moving away, Leonardo, who had been used as an item by Xiansen from the time he came in until now, couldn't help but say a word of contempt.
"Thanks for the compliment."
Shamelessly replied, Xiansen patted Leonardo on the shoulder and continued: "No way, who called your reputation so good, of course I have to use it first." However, "
After a pause, he continued: "I want everyone else to know the great actor Leonardo, not Jack!" ”
Leonardo, who was still a little resentful, immediately put down all his dissatisfaction after hearing Xiansen's words, this is his ideal, and the only reason why he chose to believe in Xiansen, he wants to be Leonardo, not live in Jack's shadow forever.
"Sir, our manager invites you to the conference room."
The reception lady quickly came out of it, her face flushed slightly, and politely asked Xiansen to go to the conference room with her.
"Okay, thanks."
As he passed by the hostess, Xiansen hesitated for a moment, but still whispered: "Miss Carrose, I remind you that your badge is slanted." ”
Looking down at his badge, the female receptionist's face blushed even more, as for what is self-evident in this, Xiansen and the female receptionist are very clear
The conference room is not big, just a very ordinary office, but it is fully equipped with air-conditioned computer desks.
The manager in charge of receiving Xiansen was brewing coffee next to the water dispenser, and when he heard the door opening of the female receptionist, he shouted in without raising his head.
"Mr. Cook, these two are the ones who came to talk to you about the film."
The hostess introduced the two to the manager very standardly, and then walked out and gently closed the door.
"I heard you're coming to talk to me about movies?"
While stirring the coffee in the cup, Cook paid attention to the temperature of the water on the water dispenser and asked casually: "Leonardo DiCaprio, with your fame, how can you help a director who is completely unfamous use this method to find investment here?" ”
Cook has been the manager of Columbia Pictures for many years, and he is very clear about business matters, when the female receptionist came to talk to him about it, he knew that Xiansen was here to attract investment, he was only curious about why Leonardo was involved, you must know that if Leonardo wants to help, he can introduce Xiansen to Columbia Pictures in other ways, what is going on, even if he has been a manager for so many years, Cook still doesn't understand very well.
If Leonardo knew Cook's thoughts, he would definitely cry out for wrongdoing, he was completely dragged in by the stunned young man in front of him, you know, he had a hundred ways to introduce Xiansen to Columbia, but in the end Xiansen made him choose the stupidest and most unreliable one
It's not that the people in that circle never understand the things in the circle, and this sentence is the best explanation for Xiansen's behavior.
