Chapter 603: Abduction of Leonardo (Part II)

Leonardo DiCaprio was born in Los Angeles to a single-parent family. At the age of 5, he participated in the filming of the TV series "RomperRoom", and at the age of 12, after 50 interviews, his tireless efforts finally paid off, and he got his first job as a professional actor, a short car commercial. At the age of 14, WMA accepted him and recommended him to shoot the TV series "Santa Barbara" and "TheNewClassic". In 1990, at the age of 16, he participated in the filming of the famous TV series "Growing Pains". In 1991, he filmed "Alien II-I", "Alien Chase Order", and in 1992, he filmed "Ivy with Poison".

This is a hardworking child and his family is not bad, but the contract of light and shadow still brings great joy to his single-parent family.

There are tens of thousands of actors and child stars in Hollywood, but not to mention being the person at the top of the pyramid, even if you want to stand a little higher, it is not easy. Moreover, China Ming valued him very much and promised to choose a film for him, which is simply a gift from God!

Early the next morning, his mother, Allerine, dressed up, accompanied Leonardo to the Light and Shadow Company and signed the agreement for him that meant the road to superstardom.

Brian also signed his name, handed one of them to Ms. Allerine, took out a string of Audi car keys from the drawer, put it in Leonardo's hand, and smiled: "This is a gift from the boss." For your sake, the boss specifically asked Lesse yesterday? Mr. Halstrom eats, and Mr. Lesser agrees to give you another chance at the interview. Ali, you take Leo to Paramount for an interview now, and Miss Kayo, the boss's assistant, will pick you up at the door. ”

Leonardo looked at the car keys in his hand, a little hesitant, Brian touched his head and laughed in a low voice: "Leo, don't think so much. The car is sponsored by Audi, and you have to help them shoot commercials, although it is a contract negotiated by the boss for you, but it is only the remuneration you deserve. As for the chance of interviewing again, it is because the boss is optimistic about your potential, so he will go to Mr. Lesser to ask for favors. ”

"Thank you boss, thank you Brian, Mom, I went to the interview with Ali", Leonardo then accepted the car keys and followed Ali to the interview.

Watching Leonardo and the others leave the office, Brian withdrew his approving gaze and invited his mother to coffee and chat, "Ms. Allerline, he's going to be a superstar, he's got that potential." ”

"This is thanks to God's gift, and thanks to MR. Sun's generosity. ”

Brian smiled, poured another cup of coffee for Elerline, and said, "Elerline, we will be friends in the future, my boss was going to talk to you personally, but he was too busy, so I have a few words for me to convey to you, I hope you don't mind." ”

"You say"

Brian began to relay Sun Ziming's words, "Leo is a talented kid, maybe he will become a superstar soon, but I don't want his sudden success to make him quickly inflate himself and lose himself." ”

Elerine was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Ok, I will always pay attention to Leo's growth, thank you, MR." Sun and your reminder. ”

After the two finished chatting, when Brian sent Ms. Allerine out of the company, Ali and Leonardo had already arrived downstairs at Paramount, and at a glance they saw Miss Kayo Sato standing at the door, accompanied by a beautiful OL girl with blue eyes.

"Thank you, Miss Kayo"

"Ali, Leo, you can call me Kayo. Boss asked me to tell you that all competition should be fair, and he just provides you with a chance to participate, understand? ”

"Understood"

"Okay, Miss Mira, I'm sorry for your trouble."

Miss Mira, who was standing next to her, smiled coquettishly and said, "Kayo, you are too polite, remember to invite me to your place next time." ”

"Next Sunday, when Boss returns to Hong Kong, I can zoom in on my vacation."

β€œOK”

It is said that it is fair competition, and the procedure is indeed fair and legal, but Mira, the assistant to Paramount President Shirley Lansing, personally led them into the company's production department, which has already hinted at many things.

"Good luck, Boy", Milan and Leonardo posted below, turning back to the president's office.

Seeing that her assistant Milan was back, Shirley smiled and said, "Ming, you owe me a favor." ”

"No, I'm here to help you, that kid is the most suitable person to star in "A Different Sky". Yesterday, when I interviewed him, I thought he was very talented and perfect for that movie. ”

"Come on, if you didn't want me to help you, would you have Miss Kayo go down and pick them up? So, you still owe me a favor. ”

Sun Tzu said tiredly: "Ok, even if I owe you a favor, then I will give you a favor, the special effects of "Star Trek: Star Raid", I will help you?" ”

Ms. Shirley made this kid who could be her own son angry, and she didn't even need an honorific word, "Ming, we've always cooperated with ILM. If I give you special effects, it's not you who help me, but I help you! ”

"NO, it's true that I'm helping you", Sun Ziming shook his head and said: "Cameron is such a picky guy, he takes the initiative to hand over the special effects to his own company, you can imagine our strength." Have you also watched "Very Little Spy", Industrial Light & Magic is at our level? That old guy Lucas is outdated, and if you take a look, you won't regret it! ”

Shirley Lansing hesitated, and it was difficult to answer for a while, ILM has been a partner for many years, and its strength is obvious to all; But the influence of this Chinese kid in Hollywood is not comparable to Lucas's fast-paced director.

After pondering for a while, the balance in Shirley's heart was still in favor of Sun Ziming. She is a businessman, and she is a very rational businessman, otherwise she would not be the only female president among the nine giants of Hollywood.

"Ming, I appreciate the special effects of Very Little Agent, but ILM has been our partner for many years, you know what I mean?"

"Understood, so I decided to help you do special effects at a discounted price of $60 million."

Yes? Shirley and Milan, who was recording next to her, thought that they had misheard, and if they weren't afraid of being rude, they would definitely reach out and try the bastard's forehead to see if he had a fever in his brain.

"Ahem, Ming, the price of Industrial Light & Magic for us is 50 million US dollars", Milan next to him looked at the face of his boss and kindly reminded him.

"Oh, my God, I should have let that bastard Cameron talk!"

Sun Ziming stroked his head and said with regret: "Shirley, I knew that Lucas's guy was so dark, I should have reported 70 million!" Ten million, our company doesn't make a dollar, Tim they're going to laugh at me! ”

Shirley couldn't listen anymore, paused the table with a Parker gold pen, and said unhappily: "Ming, you are not only a director, but also the chairman of a film and television group, OK?" ”

"NO, NO, you misunderstood what I meant, ILM's guys who play with models are outdated. The whole world, only us' numbers? Light and shadow can make the most perfect cosmic spectacle! Otherwise, if you have time, take a look at our office and we're sure you'll change your mind! ”

Smart people just have a lot of ideas, and after being suspicious for a while, Shirley still agreed to take a look.

"Thank you for the opportunity, although we didn't earn a dollar", Sun Ziming smiled wryly and shook hands with Shirley goodbye, and didn't even mention the lunch he had promised.

sent the depressed grandson Ming and the others to the elevator, and when the elevator closed, Shirley asked in a low voice: "Milan, do you see any flaws?" ”

Milan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Shirley, we'd better go for a trip in person, Warner so happily agreed to cooperate with this guy, there must be a reason for special effects." ”

"OK, I'll go in the afternoon, so that kid doesn't have time to prepare."

"OK, I'll give you half an hour's notice."

Shirley smiled slyly, "Milan, you're so kind!" ”

Sun Ziming in the elevator, if there was no monitoring overhead, he would have screamed excitedly. Damn/yes, the special effects are too profitable, and the offer of 60 million US dollars can make at least more than 40 million! Tim is right, as long as the software and digital models are done, the rest is just some mechanical work, which can be arranged for those mainland interns to handle!

The two of them got out of Paramount, just in time to see Leonardo and Ali waiting next to the black Bentley, "How is it?" ”

Young Leonardo danced with excitement and said happily: "Boss, Mr. Lesser smiled at me, he kept his face black last time. ”

"Well done, when will you start shooting?"

Ali, who was next to him, also lowered his voice excitedly: "On the seventh of July, Mr. Lesser's assistant hinted to me that he would call me in two days to inform me. ”

July 7th? Sun Tzu Ming opened the car door and motioned to the car to talk.

Getting into the car, Kayo Sato hurriedly took out champagne and wine glasses from the wine cabinet, Leonardo just wanted to reach out, Ali pulled his hand away and reminded: "Leo, you are not yet an adult, you can only drink soda, OK?"

β€œOk”

Three glasses of champagne and a bottle of Coke collide, "cheers"

Sun Ziming took a sip of champagne, "Ali, filming will start on July 7th, which means that there is no film appointment for the Leo Club in the first half of the year?" ”

Ali and Leonardo's eyes immediately lit up, and they hurriedly replied: "Boss, Warner is preparing to film "A Boy's Life". Starring De Niro, his stepson is an abusive, depressed, and painful teenager. I think that role is very good for sharpening Leonardo's acting skills. As you know, Robert is known as the 'King of Theatres', and if Leonardo can learn from him, it will be very good for his future. ”

"A Boy's Life", Sun Ziming has never heard of it, but the film starring Robert De Niro is a good opportunity not to be missed! Sun Ziming hurriedly picked up the car phone, motioned to Jia Dai to flip through the address book, and dialed the phone number of Warner Vice President Cook, "Cook, I'm Ming, how is my health?" …… Oh, the script is being revised, this can't be rushed, I don't like to make big bad movies. Ok, no problem, I was a singer and songwriter on Warner Records! Oh, by the way, I have something I want to ask you, I heard that your company is preparing to shoot "A Boy's Life"? Yes, one of the kids I just had my eye on. Ok, I owe you a favor, Think, you. ”

Putting down the phone, Sun Ziming looked at his watch and said to Leonardo: "Boy, you are lucky, they are just in the interview, hurry up to Warner." ”

β€œThink,you,boss”

The two hurriedly got out of the car, and when Yoshiyo Sato just wanted to close the car door, Leonardo's head stuck in again, and his handsome face was full of sunshine, "Boss, thank you for the gift!" ”

"Get out of here!"

"Yes, sir", the kid gave an American-style military salute and ran away.
