Chapter 420: Do I Have a Voice?
Chop in Sicily?
When Yan Qingyu heard this, she frowned slightly and said, "Al, the mafia people are still looking for trouble for you?" ”
After greeting the Jews last time, those people were already very restrained, not to mention the people who saw Yan Qingyu and took a detour, but they never dared to take the initiative to cause trouble.
In the United States, no organization or group dares to stand up to the Jewish clique.
Seeing Yan Qingyu frowning, Al Pacino hurriedly smiled: "No, no, not yet." But, Xiao Yu, my friend, I understand, those people will let me go for the sake of your face. If our cooperation is over, then I don't think they will have to worry so much anymore. I'm really fed up with being involved by them, Xiao Yu, I want to gain your friendship and become your friend. ”
This sentence is a very typical line in The Godfather.
It is a great honor to gain the friendship of the godfather.
Yan Qingyu was usually very generous to the people who looked at him, he smiled and patted El Pacino's shoulder, and said, "Al, I said that you are already my friend. Moreover, even if you don't sign up for my company, if someone wants to embarrass you, as a friend, I won't stand idly by. ”
Pacino shook his head very seriously and said, "Xiao Yu, I understand what you mean. I am very grateful, but, please let me do what I can for you. A friend can't just take without reciprocating, and this kind of friendship can't last. Although I know that you are generous to your friends, we Sicilians also have our own principles of not letting our friends suffer. ”
Yan Qingyu was very happy when he heard this, this is similar to his principles of life, and he can be regarded as like-minded. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let the company's people talk to you about the specific operation, but the commission or something, as long as one percent." Al. You listen to me, you should understand that I am a rich man, very rich, so I will not make money by drawing commissions from artists. At least, I won't siphon off my friends' hard-earned money. ”
Seeing what Al Pacino was going to say, Yan Qingyu blocked the words before he could speak.
The one-percent commission is definitely the lowest for artists in Hollywood.
Even CAA, an economic company that has won the favor of many artists with a low commission, has a minimum commission of more than 5%.
Pacino originally wanted to be able to repay Yan Qingyu one or two, who knows. At the end of the day, it's the ones who benefit.
He held Yan Qingyu's hand with emotion and shook it vigorously.
He actually knew that Yan Qingyu really didn't need his little salary.
Pacino specifically learned about Yan Qingyu's past, and the more he investigated, the more he couldn't believe that there would be such a legendary figure in this world.
Even the godfather in the movies he once starred in, compared with Yan Qingyu, I am afraid that he is not as legendary.
And such a big man who is comparable to a godfather is willing to be friends with him sincerely. How could Pacino not be moved?
Leslie Cheung was on the side, watching Pacino look at Yan Qingyu with infinite affection, and suddenly felt excited, and thought in his heart. He's not really a, is he?
……
After presenting the Best Supporting Actress, the 52-year-old legendary actress Jane. Fonda took the stage to introduce "Rain Man", one of the best picture nominees, for the two-time Academy Award-winning actress. The legendary actress who has won the Golden Globe Award for American Films three times gave very high respect to the audience.
Because of this ill-fated actress, she divorced again......
And after that. The original song award and the foreign language film award were successively awarded, and then, Angelica, who was born in a film family. Houston solemnly introduced "Smell the Woman", which was nominated for Best Picture.
It is worth mentioning that Angelica. Houston's father, John. Houston and grandfather Walter. Houston, both of whom have won Academy Awards, Angelica. Houston is the third generation of the Houston family to win an Academy Award.
The surrounding crews greeted Yan Qingyu and Al Pacino during this period, and Yan Qingyu nodded in response.
Although "Smelling Fragrance" did not become a big hit at the box office, in terms of word-of-mouth, it is almost on par with "Rain Man".
A director who can make this kind of film will definitely not be ignored by Hollywood filmmakers.
At the top of the pyramid in the film circle, the scope will not be very wide, and everyone's news is also very well-informed, after a person finds out the terrorist forces behind Yan Qingyu, the people who should know and those who shouldn't know basically get the news.
For a tycoon, especially a self-made capable tycoon, everyone is still happy to make friends.
It's just that in the crew of "Rain Man" not far away, many people have gloomy faces, and when they look at Yan Qingyu's side, their eyes almost do not hide the disdain and anger in their hearts.
Everyone is a filmmaker, and they are the most sensitive to their eyes, Al Pacino frowned slightly when he saw this, he poked his head over, and asked in a low voice to a middle-aged man in his forties, "Is something wrong, Barry?" Why do you feel like you're so unfriendly? ”
Barry, Barry. Levinson, the biggest winner of this year's Academy Awards, is a strong favorite for the Oscar for Best Director.
He was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and when he heard Al Pacino's words at the moment, he made a somewhat exaggerated "ha" sound, looking very uneven, but he was not angry with Al Pacino, he said: "Al, we worked together ten years ago, and you are a very talented actor, which I admit." But, do you think it's fair that you get Best Actor this time? ”
Al Pacino was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Barry, it was a great time to work with you back then, you are one of the most talented directors I have ever met. But why are you sure now that I'm going to win Best Actor? Of course, I've heard that I have a good chance of getting it, but it's not the end yet, right? ”
Barry. Levinson's expression was a little distorted, and a man next to him pulled him, but didn't hold it, and Barry roared in a low voice, "Not to the end yet?" Ha, Pacino, are you showing me your acting skills? Who doesn't know the Oscars...... The yellow-skinned young man behind you is a godfather-level tycoon with his hands and eyes, and he is so remarkable that even the Jews of the academy have to give him some face. Ha, I'd like to see how long he can laugh! ”
When Pacino heard this, his expression of respect, which had always been very respectful, suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "Mr. Levinson, you are a decent person, and I have always respected you. However, Mr. Yan has the grace of regeneration to me, and you can humiliate me, but please don't involve him. ”
"Hah!"
Barry. Levinson let out an exaggerated American laugh again and asked in surprise, "Al, are you teaching me how to do things?" ”
A three-time Emmy Award-winning person, who was nominated for an Oscar for Best Screenplay Ten years ago, and is the biggest favorite for Best Director this year, is definitely an unbeatable figure in Hollywood.
Don't look at Al Pacino once starred in "The Godfather", but in terms of status, he is still far from being able to compete with Barry. Levinson is on a par.
No matter how powerful a successful actor is, he is no bigger than a successful director.
So, Barry. Levinson sneered in a sarcastic tone.
"No, he's not teaching you how to do things, he's teaching you how to be people."
A faint voice came from the table of the crew of "Smelling Fragrance", the voice was flat, but it sounded like thunder in the ears of people nearby.
If just now Barry. Levinson's tone was a little arrogant, so the voice could be described as arrogant.
Today's Hollywood, who dares to say that they want to teach Barry. How did Levinson behave?
Stephen. Spielberg no, George. Neither can Lucas.
So who is it?
Naturally, he is a domineering Yan official.
"Hey, little monkey, do you know what you're talking about? Who do you think you are? ”
Just now I was pulling Barry. Levinson's man roared at Yan Qingyu at this moment. He just Rabari. Levinson, because even though it was a hostile relationship at the moment, he still respected Al Pacino very much. However, he didn't look down on Yan Qingyu who came out of nowhere.
Of course, although the voices were very unfriendly, the expressions of the crowd were almost very pleasant.
The people and cameras in the distance are unknown, but what they see and photograph must be the two major crews talking and laughing with a gentlemanly demeanor.
"Tom. Cruise, you'd better understand your position, there's no place for you to speak here. ”
Although he has become popular in Hollywood with "Top Gun", in front of Al Pacino, Tom . Cruise really didn't have much to say yet, and although he blushed when he heard Al Pacino's merciless lesson, Tom didn't dare to say anything more.
"Al, Tom doesn't have a place to speak, so what about me? Do I have a part in speaking? ”
The little old man who had been sitting next to Barry and Tom without making a sound suddenly spoke.
When Al Pacino heard this, his face suddenly changed.
The little old man in front of him is far from Tom. Cruise, a rising star who eats by selling his face.
Dusty. Hoffman, more than 20 years ago, became an actor who made the whole of Hollywood look at it with a "Graduate".
"The Graduate" won him the Best Actor Award from the British Film Academy, and his subsequent starring role in "Midnight Cowherd" won the Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director that year.
Subsequently, at the Academy Awards twenty years ago, Dustin . Hoffman won his first Oscar.
After that, he starred in the comedy film "Baby", not to mention that Hoffman was nominated for an Academy Award again for this film, and won the Global Award for Best Actor in a Musical-Comedy and the British Academy Award for Leading Actor.
Just by watching the movie "Baby" become the number one achievement among the ten greatest comedies in American history, you can imagine that Dustin . How high is Hoffman's status.
He is truly a figure who stands at the pinnacle of many male movie stars in Hollywood, and even in the more than 100-year history of Hollywood, his status is admirable. (To be continued......)
