Chapter 462: Chickens and Cranes
As a director from Mexico, Alessandro? Gonzalez? Iñárritu has always worked hard in the independent film industry, and so far, although he has only directed an independent small production called "Love is a Bitche", it has been well received by film critics. The female work scored a high score of more than nine points.
This also makes Alejandro? Gonzalez? Confident in his future, Iñárritu decided to continue on the path of literature and art, making an independent film that cost a little more.
His requirements are not high, and only an investment of about 10 million dollars is enough.
However, the ideal is full, and the reality is cruel.
"Love is a Bitche," despite being blown up by critics, can't change the fact that it only has a global box office of just over $5 million, and Iñárritu took his new script and ran all over Hollywood companies that were capable of investing tens of millions of dollars, not to mention that none of them were willing to invest, and they didn't even meet the top executives of those companies.
His script is not unappreciated, but when it comes to investment, people who have read the script immediately shake their heads, in the minds of these people, such a literary script is definitely not worth the investment of $10 million.
Especially at Sony Columbia, Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Bros., Inárritu, who has suffered numerous white eyes, has only recently figured out why this is the case, all three of which have heavyweight superhero films under their umbrellas, and his scripts are about superhero characters who are devastated actors......
However, Iñárritu met a like-minded man at Warner - the first Batman Michael? Keaton.
It was because of the other party's introduction and help that he knew that there was such a party in Malibu and got the invitation.
Iñárritu also learned that not only the executives of several Hollywood film companies were present at the party, but also Charles? Rowan, Jon? Landau and Catherine? Kennedy and other big-name people. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for him to sell himself.
The question is, with so many celebrities in attendance, how can he get the attention of those big names?
This radio DJ-turned-young director is a character character, and has been immersed in the independent film industry for many years, inevitably contaminated with a lot of literary and artistic atmosphere, coupled with the influence of neurotic, autistic, schizophrenic and other characters that are popular in the independent film industry. He chose a particularly literary way, wanting to win the attention of everyone on the paiduì, and then sell his own way through guò to sell his script.
In fact, just as Iñárritu had imagined, everyone who saw him was stunned as if they had seen something unthinkable.
, a director full of literary and artistic style, did attract the attention of a lot of people in an instant with a literary and artistic way.
Iñárritu's medium-length black hair was slightly curled and draped over the back of his head. I haven't washed it for many days, and not only is it shiny, but a lot of it sticks together and becomes wisps.
In particular, compared to the formal dress of the other people in the banquet hall, Iñárritu wore a worn-out jeans washed white, and his pants were similar to his directorial career, with several holes in the literary atmosphere.
Such an outfit. In the banquet hall, it is definitely a flock of chickens and cranes, and it is difficult not to attract people.
But. Iñárritu knew that this was not enough, that it did not fully highlight his personality and make him stand out as different, and that he had already planned how to make himself stand out from the vulgar people in Hollywood.
In Inárritu's opinion. The representative of his personality is the literary atmosphere, and the literary and artistic atmosphere represents the outstanding talent, and the talent should be appreciated.
He walked straight through the banquet hall toward the place where the tables were set up, and whoever stood in his way or on either side of him. They all covered their noses and retreated, giving Inárritu the feeling that a king was coming.
"How long has this man not showered?"
"What's that smell like? How could Duke invite such a person? ”
Inárritu ignored the chatter on both sides, and he walked to the table, took a king-size tray, and placed roast lamb shank, tender veal steak, cheesecake, and even the largest Alaskan king crab on the tray......
With food and drinks, Iñárritu found a table closest to the crowd, sat down and began to eat and drink, his eating and drinking sounds were very loud, especially the crisp click sound of prying open the shell of the king crab, which attracted the attention of the people around him.
Iñárritu didn't realize it, and sat here in what he thought was the most literary and unusual, and ate the seaweed......
Emma is the steward of the Duke's manor, and although she has assigned the duì to a special company, she personally supervises the internal coordination.
As soon as Iñárritu walked in, she noticed it, and then kept staring at him until he sat down at the table and feasted.
Wearing such clothes and appearing in public with such behavior, no one can say anything, after all, this is personal freedom, but to run to other people's homes as guests, or to participate in such a high-end pie, it is a great disrespect to the owner!
Disrespectful and uneducated......
This was Inárritu's first impression of Emma, not to mention that it was a formal birthday party, even if it was the most sought after banquet, the other party was very impolite.
The other person may have a problem with his head, and he may be a dangerous person......
This is what Emma then thought, after all, as long as a person with a normal head, who would do such an outrageous act?
The sound of the man breaking the leg of the Alaskan king crab even reached Emma's ears, and she gradually became convinced that the other party should be mentally abnormal.
Emma lifted the corner of the black dress and turned to Tina? Walking around where Fei is, it is said that there is a circle in Hollywood, which always focuses on making neurotic films, and many directors and actors who enter the play sometimes make themselves nervous, maybe this is one of them.
She wanted to ask Tina? Fei, so as not to make a mistake, what if the other party is a guest invited by Duke, and it happens to be an experiential actor who is playing a neurotic type role?
"See that guy?" She walked to Tina? Fei asked in a low voice.
Tina? Fei nodded, "I've been paying attention to him for a long time. ”
"Is this an invited guest?" Emma asked again.
Tina? Fei shook his head and said with great confirmation, "No, do you think the guests are so disrespectful to the host and themselves?" ”
This kind of behavior is not only rude to the owner, but also disrespectful to oneself.
Emma retracted her gaze, "He's probably a source of instability." ”
Tina? Faye glanced at Duke, who was still talking to Jobs, and then made a decision, "Let Charlie and Blue come in and take him out quietly." ”
She understands Duke's habits, and this kind of behavior is absolutely unbearable for her boss.
Iñárritu threw away the crab legs, picked up the wine glass and took a big sip, casually pulled up the napkin, wiped it back and forth on his mouth a few times, threw it in the tray casually, burped unabashedly, and was about to stand up, from the eyes that had been watching him, looking for the right person to sell himself and the script, when two white men in black formal dresses came over.
The two stood behind him, one on the left and one on the right, and the older one of them smiled and said, "This gentleman, Tina? Miss Fei wants to talk to you. ”
Hear Tina? The name Fei, Iñárritu's eyes immediately lit up, the other party is not very famous, but it is the executive of the Duke's studio and Duke? Rosenberg's deputy, what did she look for herself?
Although the whole idea is very literary, Iñárritu will not think that the other party has taken a fancy to him......
With a slight turn of his head, he couldn't help but think of a possibility, could it be that his outstanding behavior caused Duke? Rosenberg's concern? The other party is not only the top director in the circle, but also a billionaire, and the investment of 10 million US dollars is nothing at all, right?
Duke? Rosenberg has an in-depth cooperation with Warner Bros., and he went to Warner to deliver the script, maybe he has already read the script......
Thinking of this, Iñárritu nodded and stood up, and followed the two of them towards the outside of the banquet hall, their heads were still spinning, and their own technique of one shot to the end was a literary and artistic film technique that could alarm God and Satan, and it was too normal to be appreciated.
As soon as he walked out of the banquet hall, Iñárritu suddenly noticed something abnormal, and the two of them sandwiched him in the middle and walked in the direction of the parking lot, and couldn't help asking, "Where are we going?" ”
"I'm sorry, sir."
As a professional bodyguard, Blue didn't give the other party any chance, "Please get out of here, your clothes and behavior are too rude." ”
"No ......"
"Please don't make a loud noise, sir,"
Tina? Fei dodged out of the shadows on the side of the road, "Now I solemnly ask you to leave, and give you a word of advice, proper clothing and basic etiquette are both respect for the master and respect for yourself. ”
Iñárritu didn't listen to it at all, but said to himself, "Miss, I have a script and a project that I want to invest in director Rosenberg......
Hear this, Tina? Fei frowned slightly.
Before she could say anything, Iñárritu added, "I'm going to shoot this project with one shot!" ”
Originally Tina? Fei was still a little hesitant, and after hearing such a literary and artistic film technique in one shot, he waved his hand to Blue and Charlie, and asked two bodyguards to escort the director, who was very literary and artistic, out of the manor.
In the past, she and Duke had discussed the technique of one shot to the end, and her boss lacked the slightest interest in this kind of literary and artistic film technique.
Iñárritu drove out of the Park Estate and looked back at the behemoth with a bit of resentment in his eyes, he just wanted to show his personality, but the other party thought he was rude and kicked him out...... (To be continued......)
