Chapter 233: Preparation before the auction
Wow, the father of chainsaws is on his own, is another Hollywood dream factory about to be born?
The frenzied reporters kept asking questions, and the whole venue was boiling like a handful of salt sprinkled in a pan of oil.
Slowly, the object of the question changed from Zhou Shaoming to Robert Jr., who attended on behalf of the company's directors, and Christina, which finally relieved Zhou Shaoming, who was dry-mouthed.
Then a Detroit Post reporter asked, "Miss Christina, what are your plans for the father of chainsaws to officially start his own film company?" ”
Having already asked her own head, Christina smiled politely, and said seriously, but in a shocked manner: "My plan is very simple, I am willing to give up my film career for the sake of my dear Zhou, and do my best to help Supernova Pictures expand around the world!" ”
This sudden remark scared Zhou Shaoming, but he didn't expect Christina to really give up her dream of being an Oscar-winning actress for herself, and say such straightforward words of love in front of the media, which made Zhou Shaoming's heart couldn't help but be greatly moved.
The reporter listened to Christina's answer, and also smiled and applauded, as if he was applauding this beautiful woman, and as this applause was remembered, more people began to applaud below, which flattered Christina.
Of course, this was only a small episode in the press conference, and after the applause stopped, the press conference continued.
The topic gradually returned to Zhou Shaoming, and the media reporters' eyes began to turn to Zhou Shaoming's next movie, and first a reporter asked: "Mr. Smith, may I ask yours This Spartan Three Hundred Warriors is the first work of Supernova Pictures, right?" ”
"Oh, no, Supernova Pictures is not just a director, the first movie launched by Supernova Pictures is not Spartan 300, but another movie "Fatal ID", a suspense movie that tests fans' observation and logical thinking skills, I will hold a special press conference on the issue of Fatal ID, and everyone can ask their own concerns." Zhou Shaoming responded with a smile.
The reporters nodded excitedly in agreement, and asked loudly: "Mr. Smith, do you have any thoughts on the selection of the actor for the filming of the Spartan Three Hundred Warriors this time?" Are you going to stick with new actors, or do you want to switch to big-name and well-known actors? ”
Because Zhou Shaoming's previous movies have become popular with many new actors, Isabella, the pearl of the sea of stars, the reborn Jim Carrey, and even the rock princess Avril, the selected actors have far more than ordinary talents and acting skills. Therefore, who will make this movie is also a matter of concern to the media, and it is not certain that the next Oscar for Best Actor will be born in this movie.
For this question, to be honest, because these few people are busy with the company's affairs, Zhou Shaoming has never begun to think about the selection of actors for the movie, at this moment the media raised questions, Zhou Shaoming sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "As the most important actor in this film, which actor to choose, I don't have a good goal, but there is a standard to refer to, what I need is a tough guy sè, but not exactly the kind of guy who only knows how to fight, And a tough guy without any bit of affection.
What I need is a chivalrous tenderness, an arrogant and uninhibited soul, and at the same time, he must have a tough appearance and a figure that makes female fans scream. ”
Speaking of this Spartan robe, in order to save time for post-filming films, Zhou Shaoming personally designed this suit during the time of planning the company, and asked 300 people to wear it in front of the ruins of the World Trade Center to make an inspiring procession.
The prototype is the battle robe of the three hundred Spartan warriors in the previous life, and the time is pressing, Zhou Shaoming did not make many changes, and directly copied the robe.
In the previous life, the scarlet sè robe was definitely a major selling point of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", which formed a strong contrast with the gray and black background of the movie, so that the participants remembered the heroic and unusually brave and violent aesthetics of the Three Hundred Spartan Warriors when they fought, watering every inch of land with blood, and guarding their homes with almost crazy killing.
Although it is a battle robe, it is actually just a red sè cloak, but when this battle robe was made, the designers in the supernova company were basically full of praise for Zhou Shaoming's creativity.
Compared with that kind of heavy armor, when such a cloak is put on those sturdy men who are full of muscles, there is indeed an indescribable beauty, although it is simple, but the simpler it is, the more it is done, the more it is not simple.
Having said that, these media reporters saw the robes designed by Zhou Shaoming in the parade today, and now after listening to Zhou Shaoming's words, they praised him: "Mr. Smith is worthy of being a talented director, and even this simple but eye-catching cloak has been designed for you, which can really be described as an all-round talent!" ”
Although this sentence is full of sycophants, Zhou Shaoming still likes other compliments, in the United States, what to do in the face of the white spoon praise is not modesty, but gladly accepting, so Zhou Shaoming also smiled and said thank you, and did not shirk.
The next questions all revolve around the three hundred warriors of Sparta, but because Zhou Shaomingkai did not officially start filming this movie, although there are many questions at this time, many of them have to be left for later, and gradually the problems of the media began to shift to other people, and from time to time, Jon got up to answer questions about supernova entertainment.
Occasionally, Robert Jr. would come out to answer questions about his own private involvement, although it was rude, but Robert's cautious and watertight personality made him feel free to deal with these problems, and everyone was happy.
In the end, this press conference ended perfectly, but this does not mean that Zhou Shaoming can relax, and the next time is really busy, the company's affairs, and Jon and Christina can help take care of it, but the matter of making movies, it is not something else that can help.
"Making a movie? Isn't that what I'm best at? What is there to worry about? Zhou Shaoming comforted himself, but his eyes looked at the calendar, in December 2001, it would be a battlefield with "The Lord of the Rings".
Soon, the national media told the world that Supernova Pictures was coming!
"Supernova Pictures was officially established, and the current director was crowned president!" ―Yahoo Entertainment.
"Spartan Three Hundred, Deadly ID, Supernova Pictures continues to invest!" -- Los Angeles Times.
"Officially broke up, the honeymoon period with Lionsgate ended, and Smith Chow fought alone in the film market!" -- Is the United States sweeping everything, or is it tepid, or even losing panties? Smith Chow gambles again! -- Chicago Sun--
After the press conference, Zhou Shaoming took Christina back to his villa, and after a night of lingering, he released all the accumulated fatigue before falling asleep.
After a dreamless night, when he woke up in the morning, Zhou Shaoming found that Christina had already gotten up and prepared breakfast for herself, which made Zhou Shaoming feel quite warm, Christina deserved to be a good wife and mother.
After breakfast, the two drove to the company, because Christina had officially served as the executive manager of the operation department of Supernova Entertainment, so naturally she came to the company with Zhou Shaoming.
Bi Jing has just established a company, and many things need everyone's joint efforts to operate, so as soon as she arrived at the company, Christina separated from Zhou Shaoming and began to be busy with the work at hand.
Christina doesn't have the assistance of the directorial system, and she has never had the experience of starting a company, so she is naturally in a hurry when a lot of things are pressed down at this time.
Although Zhou Shaoming looked distressed, he didn't want to help her, not that Zhou Shaoming was ruthless, but that he had his own plans.
According to Zhou Shaoming's plan, he was going to transfer Christina to a more important position after she became familiar with the company's business a little.
If he could, Zhou Shaoming even wanted to hand over the management of the entire company to Christina, so that he could be his own director with peace of mind, and also avoid Christina from thinking that she was a vase.
With Jon in charge of operations and management, and Christina in charge of the implementation of specific matters, this is a great success!
Of course, all this is just an assumption, Christina is still in the training period, so for the time being, this burden can only be carried by Zhou Shaoming himself.
Seeing Christina go to the office, Zhou Shaoming also returned to his office, these few things about the company are finally going on in an orderly manner, so what he really has to do next is to start busy with the filming of the Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta, and before filming, he has to be busy selecting actors.
Regarding the main actors of the three hundred warriors of Sparta, the main ones are a few in, one is the real male protagonist, the king of Sparta, Leonidas, and then there is the king Xerxes I of Persia, as well as Leonidas' subordinate Dios, and finally the queen of Sparta.
According to Zhou Shaoming's own memory, coupled with the data given by the director's system, Zhou Shaoming already clearly knew that in his previous life, Leonidas was created by Gerard? Played by Butler.
