Chapter 386: Benefits
"You're leaving?"
Pacino wondered.
Yan Qingyu said with a smile: "You take the script, my goal has been achieved." Pacino......"
"No, you can call me Al, Mr. Yan."
Al Pacino smiled.
Yan Qingyu laughed and said, "It's my pleasure, Al. Then, as a reciprocal, you can call me Xiao Yu. ”
Pacino said: "I know that the surname of the Chinese is the first in line. Xiao Yu? ”
Pacino exclaimed with a strange emphasis.
Yan Qingyu smiled: "Very good, you will get used to it, and Hollywood will get used to it." ”
Pacino smiled, "I like your confidence. ”
Yan Qingyu shrugged and said, "Then Al, you still have a week to go to the blind home to figure out the characteristics of the blind." You should be able to see that this play is actually completely your play, and you are the soul of this play. ”
Pacino nodded and said, "I know, I will, I'm a professional actor." ”
Yan Qingyu smiled and said, "That's good, there will be staff to arrange a qiē for you in the future." By the way, Al, where is your current brokerage? CAA? ”
Pacino shook his head with a self-deprecating smile and said, "No, those miscellaneous people won't renew their contract with me after I starred in "Revolution". I'm now self-since. By people, if you want to talk to me about salary, you can talk to me directly. ”
Yan Qingyu laughed and said, "That's a trivial matter, just tell my assistant the number you want, and she will pay you a check." ”
Pacino glanced at Yan Qingyu strangely and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will have a high price?" ”
Yan Qingyu shook his head and said, "Al, you have to understand, I'm not a miser, nor is I a Kaizi, I just believe that you are a reasonable person." ”
Pacino didn't speak, nodding.
It's just that when Yan Qingyu opened the door and was about to go out. Pacino's face suddenly changed and said, "Wait, Xiao Yu, there is one more important matter. ”
Yan Qingyu turned around, and he even saw a trace of fear on Pacino's face. couldn't help frowning: "What happened?" ”
Pacino tugged at his collar and said, "I haven't filmed for a long time, and I almost forgot about those miscellaneous pieces." ”
Yan Qingyu said: "Who?" ”
Pacino took a deep breath, then looked at Yan Qingyu with dead eyes and said, "Gambino." ”
Yan Qingyu was stunned when she heard this, and then laughed and said, "That must be a very long story, eon, let's hear it." ”
Yan Qingyu turned around and sat opposite Pacino again.
Pacino's face became calm and silent. Lowered his eyes and said, "It's very simple, because I starred in "The Godfather" and I'm still Sicilian." So, as the archetype of the godfather Corleone family, the Gambino family, they didn't want me to appear in some other films. Because of this, it will make others mistake it for the godfather and become another character. ”
"So, after you didn't obey and took on a lot of other films. They've had enough and decided to hit you with a fatal blow. "Revolution", which invested 28 million US dollars, only received less than 1 million at the box office? ”
Yan Qingyu naturally speculated.
Pacino nodded and said, "Yes." It's that simple. Unless the Gambino family is finished, ......"
Yan Qingyu smiled when she heard this, and said, "The Gambino family, who is their godfather?" ”
Pacino said, "John. Gerty. ”
Yan Qingyu frowned when she heard this, "Why don't you have the surname Gambino?" ”
Pacino smiled slightly. said: "The power of the family is in the hands of the members of the Gambino family. Even John. As a godfather, Gotti also needs to serve the Gambino family. ”
Yan Qingyu said, "Okay." Either way, you don't need to worry, I'll go talk to them. ”
"You? Are you going to give them a reason they can't refuse? ”
Pacino laughed a little.
Yan Qingyu actually nodded and said, "Trust me, Al." Your task is to figure out the script and act well. The rest is handled by a company. ”
Pacino looked at Yan Qingyu seriously and said, "If you can do it, you will be a good boss." ”
Yan Qingyu laughed and said, "That's right, I will be a good boss." ”
……
"Whew!"
Yan Qingyu, who got back into the car, exhaled a long breath and said, "It still feels a little weird to chat in English. ”
"Yan Sheng, how's it going? You're not angry, are you? ”
Shi Nansheng said with concern, after all, the last time was because of her negligence.
Yan Qingyu shook his head and said, "As long as one problem is solved, then there will be no problem." ”
"What's the problem?"
"Gambino."
"God, it's them."
Shi Nansheng had this bad premonition a long time ago, but he didn't expect it to become a reality.
With Al Pacino's reputation after starring in two "The Godfather", with his acting skills, how could he fail for more than ten consecutive years?
"Revolution", in particular, failed simply unreasonable.
There must be a mastermind behind this, and the Gambino family, the prototype family of the godfather, obviously has this strength.
"What are we going to do, Yan Sheng?"
Shi Nansheng hesitated a little and said, in her opinion, for the sake of an actor, it is not worth it to make the world group have a bad relationship with such a notorious underworld family as soon as it arrives in the United States, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Yan Qingyu smiled faintly and said, "I'm going to convince people with reason." ”
"Poof!"
Fang Nan, the latest good driver, burst out laughing, but he didn't say much.
Shi Nansheng also shook his head and smiled: "Those villains don't even talk about the U.S. Constitution, how can they be reasonable?" Even if they agreed, they would take the opportunity to blackmail us. Moreover, they will not believe in their words. ”
Yan Qingyu said: "It's okay, someone will make them succumb." ”
Shi Nansheng thought about Yan Qingyu's connections, but he still got nothing.
Fang Nan couldn't help but interject: "You don't want to cooperate with the Jewish group, do you?" ”
Yan Qingyu laughed and said, "That's right, as a capitalist country, what other force will be stronger than capital?" And clearly, the Jewish bloc is the one who controls this power. ”
Fang Nan said with an unswerving face: "Those damn greedy ghosts are a source of evil, you shouldn't ......"
Yan Qingyu interrupted: "I don't know where the grievances between your family and the Jewish group come from? But when I thought about it, there were just two possibilities. First, your family was miserably cheated by the Jews when they were doing business. The second is deliberate. In order to gain the favor of the monarchs of Europe, especially Germany, so that they could stand on their own feet. ”
Fang Nan's face changed when he heard this, and he blurted out: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”
Yan Qingyu said with a smile: "I believe in a principle, for some big people, they will not have love for no reason, nor will they hate for no reason. All impression motives, good or bad, are only related to profit.
If it wasn't because the Jewish group had hurt your interests, it was because you were doing it. Go and be hostile to them. This is your business, what does it have to do with my interest group? ”
Fang Nan frowned and said, "You are Chinese." ”
Yan Qingyu shook his head and said, "Fang Nan, you are an extremely smart person. It is only taught by your family's education, and it is blindly full of hostility. Tell me what the Jews did to China? ”
Fang Nandao: "No? In the "Empire of the Sun" filmed by Spielberg last year, the Japanese army invading China was greatly beautified. From a child's point of view, worship a hero like a pilot. Isn't that disgusting and despicable? Yes, I do not deny that objectively speaking, the Japanese soldiers are indeed brave and good. But in the "Schindler's List", which he always wanted to film, the Germans were described as so brutal. The Germans were even better at fighting than the Japanese. ”
Yan Qingyu knew that the people of the Nine Great Families, because of hundreds of years of education, their hostility towards the Jews came from their bones. Although he didn't think so, he was optimistic about Fang Nan. So I still patiently tried my best to correct it, and said:
"Last year, I raised my opinion to the Jewish group through the Kadoorie family, and they came back with feedback. Spielberg had always wanted to photograph the Australian novelist Thomas Thomas. Kennyry's "Schindler's List" was because he was a Jew, so he wanted to shoot it. He filmed "Empire of the Sun". Just a warm-up for Schindler's List, that's all.
As far as Spielberg himself is concerned, he has no good feelings about Japan, and of course, he does not have any bad feelings. Because he didn't know much about Japan at all.
However, in order to express his apologies to me, Spielberg has promised to direct a detailed account of Nan Dou for me after he finished filming "Schindler's List". "Rabe's Diary" in historical materials related to the Beijing Massacre. ”
Fang Nan was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What is "Rabe's Diary"? ”
Yan Qingyu sighed: "During World War II, Rabe was a German Nazi in the south. Kyo's agent. However, he was still highly influenced by the South. The beloved Buddha of the people of Beijing. Because during the massacre of the Japanese army, he saved the lives of more than 200,000 citizens. After getting this copy of Rabe's Diary, I personally sent someone to Nan. Beijing investigated, and then went to Taiwan to find historical materials.
It is true that after the end of World War II, Rabe was arrested by the Soviet Union and then the United Kingdom for being a member of the Nazi Party. Given in the South. As a result, he received monthly money and food from the Nationalist Government. The Kuomintang government also noted that if Rabe was willing to return to China, he would be provided with housing and a pension for life.
It's a pity that this good man did not get a good death in Germany. He was imprisoned by Britain and the Soviet Union, and died of diabetes in the fifties. ”
Fang Nan regretted it and said proudly: "So, there is a reason why our family is close to Germany. ”
Yan Qingyu snorted and said, "This is not the point, what I want to tell you is to look farther away." I work with Jewish groups, not because I am close to them, nor because I trust them, but because of interests.
Times are changing, and whoever can bring benefits to each other can become good friends and partners. Confrontation is no longer the theme, only interests are eternal. If your family continues to cling to this flaw, you will be defeated by the Jews sooner or later. Not in the confrontation of force, but in interests. ”
