Chapter 66: The King of the Past

"Lee, before I say what I mean, I'd like to hear what you think of us at MGM Studios. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Harry? Sloan didn't directly say what he meant, but instead asked Han Quanwoo what he thought of MGM.
This suddenly made Han Quanyou stunned, and he subconsciously wanted to say something, but suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but stop. Han Quanyou is a little hesitant now, after all, the current MGM Film Company is really not very good, it can be said that it is stormy and terrible.
"Hehe, it's okay lee, you just say it, whether it's good or bad, I want to hear it." Sensing Han Quanyou's hesitation, Harry? Sloane couldn't help but smile indifferently and said. Now that MGM Pictures is like this, what else can make Harry? Sloan was moved.
"Alright then!" After thinking for a few seconds, Han Quanyou gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely: "I'm just saying my personal opinion, and I hope Mr. Harry won't see him." ”
After getting Harry? After Sloan stretched out his hand and motioned for you to continue, Han Quanyou spoke: "As one of the eight major Hollywood studios, and as the only remaining film company in Reading Productions, MGM Pictures is undoubtedly great, but it seems to have been in some trouble recently. ”
Harry? Sloan: "......"
Although I know that Han Quanyou will say something with some interruption and politeness, you don't need to say it so foolishly, what is this, it's just that you didn't say it.
"Hey~~~ It's not just some trouble, now MGM Pictures doesn't know if it can survive or is it the same thing?" Compared to Han Kwonwoo's politeness, Harry? Sloane was much more direct. Anyway, now MGM Pictures is indeed in a situation where it is going to go out of business at any time, so what is there to be embarrassed about.
"No, no, sir, I'm sure MGM Pictures will hold on, because MGM Pictures is the pride of Hollywood filmmakers, and MGM Pictures has its own pride, and this pride is enough to make MGM Pictures face any difficulties." Feel Harry? The helplessness in Sloane's tone, Han Quanyou hurriedly comforted.
"Okay, Lee, don't talk nonsense, in fact, we all understand, don't say these things. What pride, pride has a price, but the price paid by MGM Pictures is too great, high debt, and may face bankruptcy at any time, is this the pride I have always insisted on. If pride really has to bear such a price, I'd rather not have it. ”
After all, Harry? Sloane closed his eyes in pain, it was clear that these words were not Harry? Sloan's sincerity.
Looking at Harry? Sloane looked pained, Han Quanyou could still understand, after all, he insisted on the reading power production surname of MGM Pictures, maybe this was for Harry? Sloan and MGM, the founders of the film company, have always persevered, and have worked hard for this persistence, and have paid too much.
But now, with the development and progress of the times, it is difficult for MGM Pictures to continue to adhere to the pride of reading production. Sloan and MGM were devastated.
"I'm an American, I have my own pride, I feel very angry when I see the other seven film companies, constantly cooperating with others to raise money, and have completely lost their reading power to produce films, they have simply forgotten our American pride, and only cared about the immediate interests, and sold their souls. So I've been persevering, insisting on maintaining the reading power of MGM Pictures, and for this purpose, all of us at MGM Pictures are working silently for this. ”
For Harry? Sloan's insistence, Han Quanyou can still understand, a person's insistence on some things in his own country, this is certain and inevitable. Just like the Chinese, take the Hongqi car as an example, there are really a few people when buying a private car, first consider the Hongqi car, basically there are few. But to really say that the Hongqi car is going to close down, I'm afraid this is not something that every Chinese wants to see.
Perhaps the Hongqi car Chinese do not like it very much, nor are they very optimistic, but this does not prevent the Chinese from respecting the Hongqi car, for various reasons, the Hongqi car has become the pride of China and has become synonymous with the Chinese car.
Obviously, Harry? This is the case with Sloan's reading power production surname for MGM Pictures, but unfortunately, MGM Pictures is not like Hongqi cars, which have the state behind it, so now the tragedy is that the high debt almost crushes MGM Pictures.
"Hehe, what's the use of saying this, anyway, there are facts now. Okay Lee, let's talk about the fact that I came to you this time, in fact, the purpose of my visit this time is very simple, that is, I want to ask you to help me create a script, a good, high-quality script! ”
After all, Harry? Sloan looked at Han Quanyou expectantly, it seemed that at this moment, Han Quanyou was like becoming Harry? Sloane's last straw.
"Uh......" Han Quanyou was stunned, still sighing and admiring Harry? Sloan's insistence, didn't expect Harry? Sloane's tone changed abruptly, and he actually said the purpose of his arrival this time. It's not a big deal to say the purpose, but what makes Han Quanyou can't figure it out is, Harry? Sloan came to the door this time, and his purpose turned out to be to ask him to write a script.
"Harry now, this ......" looked at Harry with an expectant face? Sloan, not like he was joking with himself, Han Quanyou was shocked, hesitated, and confused.
Seems to sense what Han Quanwoo is thinking, Harry? Sloan explained: "Lee, please don't doubt my sincerity, I really want to beg you to create a high-quality script, and you don't need to be shocked, I've also seen the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Treasure", and I fully believe that you have the strength." Maybe you're wondering why I'm coming to you, I can tell you, because Johnny? Depp's recommendation, is Johnny? Depp told me that you have the ability and the inspiration to create a good script, a script that is eye-catching. ”
TMD, Johnny? Depp is a bastard. Messing around, I didn't expect to be Johnny? Depp, the bastard, was sold, and Han Quanyou couldn't help scolding in his heart.
Isn't it just some time ago, I gave Johnny myself? Depp said that if he doesn't want to, forget it, as long as he wants to, he can create a super good script, and if he wants to win awards, he can win awards, and if he wants to get the box office, he can get the box office.
Johnny in the beginning? Depp doesn't believe it, he definitely doesn't believe it, let alone Johnny? Depp, it's like this for everyone. But Han Quanyou was anxious, and said with some ostentatious elements that he really has this ability, and he already has inspiration, and he only needs time to create a high-quality script, which will not be worse than "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Treasure of the Dead".
To this, Johnny? Depp just laughed it off, apparently not convinced. Didn't expect Johnny? Depp, this kid, really took his words to heart, no, now he has sold himself.
"Hehe, Mr. Harry, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I'm busy filming Pirates of the Caribbean 3 right now, and I don't have the time. Besides, as far as I know, MGM Pictures is not in a very good position at the moment, and if I had created a script, I wouldn't have been able to shoot a movie without a certain amount of money. ”
For Harry? Han Quanyou still admires a person like Sloan who insists on his dreams, because he refuses very tactfully. From Harry? It was obvious from Sloane's words just now and his current expression that Harry? Sloan is in a last-ditch effort, seeing himself as a savior, hoping that he can save MGM.
In this regard, Han Quanyou children's shoes said that his Yali pear is very big, very big, very big. Because looking at this posture, if you nod your head, then it is equivalent to the future success or failure of MGM Pictures, which is completely left to you. If you succeed, forget it, you will become a savior, and you will become the brightest person in Hollywood. But in case of failure, MGM Pictures completely collapsed, and the last pride of Americans disappeared, Han Quanyou couldn't imagine how angry Americans would react to himself, the fuse that led to MGM Films.
Although he didn't know, Han Quanyou was sure that this result was definitely not what he liked to see. Don't say anything about MGM Pictures, which is no longer good and will go out of business at any time, Han Kwonwoo doesn't believe that Americans will be so rational when things get to a certain point.
But for Harry? Sloan's trust, Han Quanyou is still very grateful, and he can hand over the future of MGM Films to himself, not to other big-name screenwriters and veteran screenwriters, but to himself, an outsider in the eyes of Americans, Han Quanyou can't be grateful.
Although grateful, just by virtue of Harry? Sloan's trust, Han Kwonwoo also wants to help MGM Pictures. But unfortunately, MGM Pictures is now in a very bad situation, and the high debt has made it impossible for MGM Pictures to make a big-budget movie. Han Quanyou is also very helpless about this, after all, even if Han Quanyou is strong and has too many things that can be pirated, MGM Pictures has no money, and the movie is not well shot.
Therefore, Han Quanyou has the intention to kill the enemy, but he has no power to return to heaven.
Han Kwonwoo's words are true, which also makes Harry? Sloan frowned, lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I can wait for you to finish filming "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", I can also wait for you to have time, I can even prepare you a movie fund, a last life-saving money from MGM Pictures." But Lee, I want to ask, is it really necessary to have a lot of money, and is it okay to have less money? ”
Harry? Sloane's words suddenly made Han Quanyou smile bitterly, big brother, you said that you would prepare a sum of money for me, and you don't need to emphasize that this is the last life-saving money of MGM Pictures, don't you know that this will cause me a lot of pears.
"Yes, Mr. Harry, you also know that a good movie nowadays has to be smashed with money, otherwise, a good movie will not be made at all. Although there are some small-budget movies that have achieved unexpected results in the end, this situation can only be called a miracle, since it is a miracle, then the possibility of this kind of thing happening is very small, so let's not think about this, and don't expect miracles. If you really want to make a good movie, there is only one way, and that is to smash it, smash it with money, and smash it out with a lot of dollars to make a good movie. ”
See Harry? Sloan really trusted himself so much, Han Quanyou was really moved, and at the same time, Han Quanyou suddenly made up his mind, if nothing else, just for Harry? Sloan's trust, if he can, must help MGM Pictures once. After all, shooting a movie and wanting a good script is not the slightest difficulty for Han Quanyou.
Although Han Quanyou is not sure, even if he really cooperates with MGM Pictures to shoot a classic movie, it seems that he can alleviate the situation and pressure on MGM Pictures on the spot, and it seems that he can save MGM Pictures. But at this time, Han Quanyou didn't think too much, he just wanted to help Harry simply? Sloan and MGM Pictures.
"Smash, smash a good movie with money. Huh~~~~~~~ lee, what you said makes too much sense, now it's really a good movie, if you calculate it carefully, it's really all smashed by money. "Han Kwonwoo's words make Harry? Sloan was stunned, reacted and thought carefully about Han Quanyou's words, and finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh and agreed with Han Quanyou's words.
See Harry? Sloan also thinks so, Han Quanyou smiled indifferently, this is just a clear fact, you must know that a few years later, Cameron began to spend a lot of money for the movie "Avatar". It is no exaggeration to say that the movie "Avatar" was made by Cameron with a lot of dollars.
However, who is called the director is Cameron, although he threw a lot of money on the movie "Avatar", he got far more gains than he smashed, and even became a box office miracle, a miracle that ordinary people can hardly imagine, and perhaps no one can break for decades.
"Lee, if I really ask you to be the screenwriter, or even the actor and screenwriter of our last MGM film, how much money will you need to be able to make a good movie for me." Half a minute of silence, Harry? Sloan asked through gritted teeth.
Big brother~~~ Don't put so much pressure on your younger brother, and even invite me to be the screenwriter of the last movie of MGM Pictures, you keep giving me Ya Pear, do you still want MGM Film Company to come back to life, do you want to figure it out, give me a huge Ya Pear to crush me, and then let MGM Film Company go bankrupt and go bankrupt directly.
Big brother, don't play with me like this, you want MGM Pictures to go bankrupt, I have no opinion, the development status of MGM Pictures is not far from bankruptcy, but don't involve me, let me be a scapegoat.
He cursed in his heart, but his mind was still spinning rapidly, and after thinking for a few seconds, Han Quanyou opened his mouth and asked: "Mr. Harry, I don't know what kind of movie you are referring to when you ask for a good movie, do you mean a movie that can win an Oscar, or a movie that can get a big box office?" ”
It is important to determine this, only by determining what type of film he wants to shoot will Han Kwonwoo be able to pirate, and only then can he imagine what kind of film is suitable for him. If there is a suitable one, then it doesn't matter if Han Quanyou grits his teeth and fights, if there is no suitable one, then retreat in time, so as not to fall into the explosion range of the big bomb of MGM Pictures.
"Of course it's a big-box office movie, what I need now is a big-box office movie, as for what doesn't win an award, what's the use, what a trophy, it's just shit, it's just an actor, what can we get from MGM Pictures. Think about the fact that it's been more than 80 years since MGM Studios was founded, and we at MGM Pictures have had enough of accolades and trophies, and now what I need is a big-box office movie, a big-box office movie like Pirates of the Caribbean 2 Dead Treasure that can make a lot of dollars, and as for the Oscars, shit, fuck the Oscars. ”
Faced with Han Kwon-woo's inquiry, Harry? Sloane, a good old man who feels good-tempered, completely exploded. The left sentence is shit, and there is a sentence of fucking, which keeps telling about the pressure he has been under because of MGM Pictures in the recent period.
For Harry? Sloan's roar, Han Kwonwoo can understand, and Han Kwonwoo admires the brilliant achievements of MGM Pictures.
Carefully calculated, in the past 80 years, MGM Pictures has won more than 200 Oscars, and in the first 20 Oscars in the first 20 years, there were 40 best actors, of which 11 were obtained by MGM Pictures' films.
Honor, for the current MGM studios, is basically no longer attractive, and the 170 Oscars placed in MGM studios are the best proof of this. You know, Zaike is ranked first among the eight major Hollywood studios.
Such achievements and achievements are absolutely respectable. It's a pity that the current MGM Pictures Company no longer has the slightest shine in the past, and the high debt has almost crushed MGM Films.
Think about MGM Pictures in the past, and think about MGM Pictures that are now in debt, if you ask others what they think of MGM Pictures now. I believe anyone will say: the king of the past. The king is the king, but it's just the past, and I don't know if there will be a day when it will rise again.
All this is enough to prove that now honors and awards are no longer attractive to MGM Pictures, not to mention that the current MGM Pictures is a typical debt without money, and even can't eat, who will consider awards and honors.
What awards, which can be used as money, can alleviate the current debt of MGM Pictures. Now, for MGM Pictures, the most important thing is to shoot big-box office movies, relying on the large amount of dollars earned to alleviate the pressure caused by the current high debt of MGM Pictures.
Only in this way, slowly, may be able to bring the stormy MGM Pictures back to life, although the chance is not very good. Of course, this is limited to ordinary people, and if Han Kwonwoo can be the master of MGM Pictures, then it will not be difficult for MGM Pictures to come back to life. After all, if you want a big-box office movie, Han Kwon-woo has a lot of good big-box office movie scripts, which can ensure that MGM Pictures will slowly pay off its high debts and come back to life.
