The author of the novel "Jaws" Peter . Bencelli's actions annoyed Wang, even though he understood that this was the guy taking the opportunity to hype up the novel in order to make the novel sell better. [Full text reading]

After all, in the past few days, everyone who is related to Wang Xiaohu has been stained, not to mention Stallone, Xie Dongshen, Lucas and others, the boss of the old Hollywood film company Twentieth Century Fox has invited him to dinner a few times. Not to mention the three Oscar hosts, they tried their best to pull him into the TV station to do a talk show in order to increase the ratings of the TV station.

For these, Wang Xiaohu directly closed the door to thank customers, anyone who came forward to invite or call, he used his busy work as an excuse, if it wasn't for the start of "Jaws", he would have returned to Hong Kong long ago, who made Hollywood not very calm recently?

The day after the end of the 46th Oscars, the Screen Actors Guild of America planned: "The long-standing controversy caused by the producer's income problem cannot be satisfactorily answered", under the shadow of the general strike, the filming crew of "Jaws" faced a lot of unpredictable troubles, Wang Xiaohu learned about this, and decided to solve all these problems and return to Hong Kong.

After a while, Wang Xiaohu lost his anger and said to Spielberg: "Steven, don't pay attention to that bastard Bencelli!" He is now borrowing us to hype, so it's okay, although let him toss, we don't have to spend money to attract good publicity. Now the issue of actors is looming. ”

Spielberg nodded, bit his lip and said, "Boss, I have a headache when I think about it, because there have been a lot of actors on the set and my doorstep recently, and they desperately need me to provide them with a role, so I hate casting actors very much now." ”

"It seems that the shadow of the general strike does not stop them from becoming famous." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "This is good, at least we don't have to worry about not being able to find an actor!" ”

"You can rest assured that the main actor is already in my mind, and Sheriff Martin's candidate is Roy. Shedd. Wang Xiaohu got up and took out a list from the desk drawer and said: "Because he has attracted the attention of the audience with his mask-like face and registered trademark bad nose by playing the coarse mine policeman in the films "French Drug Network" and "7 Points Each." However, these two films made in France brought him very little income. ”

"Oh, I know him!" Spielberg raised his eyebrows and said, "But the image that guy gives to the audience has been frozen, and I'm afraid it doesn't match the script." ”

"That's not a problem!" Wang Xiaohu pointed to his head and said, "Steven, play your only way, put Roy. The 'New York Police' surname on Shedd is distilled and put into the character of this film, and in the script, the sheriff is such a person: he is usually silent, burying his anger in the bottom of his heart, and only exploding when it is time to explode! ”

When Spielberg heard this, he immediately took out a notebook and recorded everything Wang Xiaohu said, God knows what the young boss still has in his head, and it is right to write it down word for word!

When he finished recording, he looked up and asked, "Why is the Shark Hunter chosen Richard? Dreyfus? I've heard that this guy has a bad habit of using doping, and it seems that he went to Canada after working with Lucas on "American Painting", and according to Lucas, this guy has a terrible temper, and I don't want to affect my friendship with George because of him. ”

Richard. De Refus was the most special of all these actors, and he was notoriously difficult to deal with. In 1972 he evaded military service, and because of an upset conscience, he later worked as a handyman at a county hospital in Los Angeles, where he developed a doping habit. Since acting in "American Painting", although he participated in the performance of "The Apprenticeship Life of Clawez" in Canada, playing a young man with a lust for profit, he had hoped that this film would make a breakthrough in his acting skills, but his later life was boring.

As for why Richard. De Forss, actually, is quite simple, because this guy didn't come to prominence until he starred in 1973's "American Painting." In Wang Xiaohu's memory, he participated in the filming of "Jaws", and his popularity also soared, and two years later, he starred in another important film directed by Spielberg, "Contact of the Third Kind", and more importantly: his performance in "Goodbye Girl" made him a dark horse to win the Oscar and leap into the ranks of superstars.

A future Oscar winner, Wang Xiaohu has no reason not to let go, after all, he is now a well-known newcomer director in Hollywood, and letting a guy who is not good-looking come to participate in the filming can just maintain this good name, so after forming a habit, whenever Wang Xiaohu uses a newcomer to shoot a new film, everyone will know that this newcomer must be popular!

"Because this is the person recommended by George!" Wang Xiaohu shrugged his shoulders and didn't tell the truth, "You have to take care of the relationship between old friends, don't you?" You want to try your best to get these people on the list, remember, now we have the initiative, if they propose too high a salary, just replace them! ”

It was after this sentence that Hollywood began to circulate the reason why Wang Xiaohu used the newcomer, according to Spielberg and Lucas and other close friends: Tiger never buys the account of celebrities, and they offend his frugal surname by asking for a marginal price. He believes that ordinary actors will be satisfied with treatment beyond their own worth.

When Spielberg talked about the philosophy of selecting actors he learned from Wang Xiaohu, he said, "I like to use people who don't have a lot of experience. If you have a fixed image, it is very difficult for you to play an ordinary person. This is Tiger. From the beginning, my principle was not to use the actors on the cover of Rolling Stone, Wang told me. ”

In the next 20 years, the actors complained that the remuneration provided by Wang Xiaohu was only a legal price, or just a price agreed by the industry association. The Los Angeles Times quoted a longtime agent as saying, "In most cases, no one in his peers can beat his negotiation skills when it comes to hiring those geniuses, and no one can win over Tiger for his own benefit." King. ”

But even if Wang Xiaohu's salary is not high, many Hollywood first-line actors are still crying and clamoring to play in his films, even if it is a small role!

Wang Xiaohu answered Spielberg's questions one by one, from this you can see that Wang Xiaohu has reached the point of almost all-round talent in Spielberg's mind, Spielberg is as cautious as a primary school student in front of Wang Xiaohu, and records every sentence Wang Xiaohu said, when most of the questions are answered, he looks at Wang Xiaohu's eyes have become more and more adoring.

"One last question!" Spielberg raised his hand, and the expression on his face was very strange: "Boss, why do I have to make a cameo in the movie?" ”

Wang Xiaohu couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, pointed to the script and said: "Correct, you are not making a cameo, marine biologist Brown is a very important role, it is precisely because of Brown's profound knowledge that the sheriff knows that the man-eating shark is still alive, and the role you want to play is also very interesting, and he is a character who knows how to use his brain to survive." This can be seen at the end of the film, Brown got into the iron cage, was attacked by the shark and immediately escaped, burrowed into the coral pile, and after the sheriff killed the shark, the thing surfaced leisurely, and the end was cunning and cunning.

Peter. Bencelli is like a piece of kraft candy, he found Wang Xiaohu with a dead face, and asked to play a small role in "Jaws", "Tiger, you should give me a role, maybe I will be nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor!" ”

"Peter, I've had enough of your shameless grimace, give you ten seconds to disappear before my eyes, if you want to be beaten all over the ground by me, try it!" Wang Xiaohu raised his fist, Bencelli still thought he was joking, and shrugged his shoulders with a smirk and said, "Hey, we are all civilized people!" ”

"Civilized your sister!" After a bang, Bencelli lay on the ground wailing in pain, Wang Xiaohu said to Bencelli on the ground: "The share you should take has been given to you, if you still want to continue to entangle, the "Jaws" licensing adaptation contract in my hand is not a decoration!" ”

"OMG, you're a rude barbarian, are you only going to solve problems with your fists!" Bencelli got up from the ground, his eyes full of fear: "Hell, I lost two front teeth!" ”

"I said, don't be in front of me again! Otherwise, your other teeth will not be protected! Wang Xiaohu looked at Ben Qili, who was stumbling away from home and running away, and said loudly.

As a result, Wang Xiaohu once again made the front page headlines of major American newspapers.

"The Oriental director showed his savage side and beat the author of the "Jaws" novel to the point where he was seriously injured and hospitalized."

"Peter. Bencelli said that the matter will not stop there, and that he will use the weapon of the law to obtain justice. ”

"According to this newspaper's interview with Spielberg, Bencelli is entangled with Tiger everywhere because of less than 150,000 buried in the sale of novel adaptation rights, and the two parties have signed an authorized adaptation contract again, and the script of "Jaws" has also been filed with the relevant departments, and the start of "Jaws" will not be affected in the slightest, and it is expected to go to Edgar City on Martha's Vineyard Island at the end of the month for location shooting."
