Spring is shining in New Zealand, and the sky is as blue as the purest sapphire, but Edward, the assistant director of "The Last Samurai"? Zwick, however, looked at the sun above his head in distress, eager to take out the big fireball that did not cooperate with them with his boss like Hou Yi said by his boss.

If it doesn't rain again, the movie's location budget will be overrun, just think of Jill? Valentine's face, Edward? Zwick shuddered, was that witch able to take James? Cameron is a submissive woman!

In the past, Boss's crew never had to worry about overspending the film budget, because he was the absolute majority shareholder of the light and shadow company, and his name was still the absolute guarantee of the box office, and investing in his movies meant super high returns and zero risks! Those partners who invest in his films will only be afraid that he doesn't want funds, how dare they talk crookedly in front of him? It can be said that in Hollywood, the producer can control the crew, while in the crew of China Ming, the producer is a personal stamp, only responsible for signing and stamping the financial expenditure statement.

However, since Jill Valentine became the general manager of Light and Shadow, everything has changed. The woman was well-known in Hollywood for her toughness and eloquence, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup she poured into the boss, so she actually gave up his privilege of not being limited by the budget, and handed over the control of the crew to those stingy producers.

Now the trouble is coming, it doesn't rain in New Zealand's rainy season, and hundreds of people in the crew are waiting here, and the daily expenses are more than 100,000 dollars a day! The famous China Ming, he doesn't care about these broken things, he just likes to squat behind the monitor, call 'Action', 'CUT', or scold the actor for blood. If he has to come forward to solve such a thing, then what kind of assistant director will he be? Besides, do you dare to trouble him? It is said that the light who kills people without blinking is following him every day, and he is more well-behaved than a child.

'How could I be so stupid to trust the lawyer of the Light and Shadow Company', Edward wailed, looking at the sun in the sky and regretting that he wanted to hit the wall.

I thought that being the assistant director of China Ming was an excellent opportunity to come out, and the previous assistant directors have become famous and become big directors in Hollywood! But he never expected that China, who was obviously a celebrity, would turn into a dangerous gang leader, and no matter how he explained, Gilna Witch was scolding!

Oh my God, the year before signing the agreement, he also asked the lawyer on point, only to have the bastard jokingly ask him, 'Douglas is in charge of all these things, you want the boss's dog to fuck off?' ’

But no one expected that Hollywood's most loyal dog had a car accident, and both dogs were lying in the hospital with plaster casts. According to the original agreement, the trouble fell to him, the assistant director of the scene.

What can I do? Witch Gilna will never listen to her own explanations again, if you ask the boss to come forward, then she won't be an assistant director for nothing? What else are you talking about being a big director in the future? What big guy would like an incompetent subordinate?

Just as he was about to go crazy in frustration, Edward's assistant Bong Joon-ho trotted over with a mobile phone and said respectfully in broken English, "Mr." Zwick, Mr. Douglas is looking for you. ”

"Oh", Edward took the phone and walked to the side to listen to the call, not noticing that Bong Joon-ho's eyes were a little red. He used to have a lot of admiration for these hardworking, respectful Koreans, but now he doesn't have any good feelings, even though they are all Boss's students. If it weren't for the boss's insistence on arranging more than a dozen Korean directors in the crew, the budget would not have been overspent so much.

Even Tom Cruise and his superstars live in hotels and eat out of their own pockets, and these Korean students not only study with the crew, but also have the crew pay for salary, room and board! If you save the salaries of these people, it will be enough to millions of dollars, which is enough for the crew to continue to wait.

"God, you've finally woken up!"

As soon as Edward Zwick heard Douglas's voice, it was like a drowning man fishing for a lifebuoy. He made countless phone calls to this dog, but no one answered, and he thought that this guy had taken the opportunity to slip away and leave himself alone to face Jill's anger.

"Zwick, the crew is already overspending, right? In this way, you separate the overspending from the expenses of the script. I will ask Miss Sato to transfer the account to you, which will be counted as the boss's official expenses and included in the expenses of the studio. ”

Edward, who has been in Hollywood for more than ten years and knows all kinds of doorways and tricks well, broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly walked a little farther, and roared: "What? Douglas, do you know what you're doing? Do you want to go to court? ”

In the big dye vat of Hollywood, Edward, who has been rolling for many years, his first reaction is that Douglas wants to pit him! This is not a trivial matter, to put it mildly, this is an economic crime! If China is aware and takes the two to court, not only will their reputations be ruined, but they will also face prison. Besides, China Ming is not an ordinary film company boss, doing such a thing behind his back, it will make him disappear directly!

"I know, you do as I say. Gilna, I'll call her and explain. ”

Douglas may have been on the phone for an injection, and after a few minutes he returned to the phone, explaining, "Zwick, the boss is not one of those stingy businessmen. The salaries and expenses of those Koreans have always been paid by his personal studio, and they are only hung on the company's account for reasonable tax avoidance.

Boss has always believed that money is just a number for people like him, but for ordinary people like us, it is the guarantee of a better life. A few of those Korean directors are still students, and if they are allowed to study with the crew at their own expense, it may be beyond their financial means.

Another thing I want to remind you is that the boss is still the former China Ming, and his current identity is not what he wants it to want. You just have to work as you used to and don't have to worry about things that don't need to worry about you. As long as you have a reason, even if it's still the same as at the beginning, it's okay to quarrel with the boss, OK? ”

Quarrel with the boss? After a period of silence, Edward said in a deep voice: "Ok, I'll ask the boss first, if he doesn't object, I'll do as you say." ”

Standing under the sun, Edward smoked a few cigarettes before he figured things out. For a big man like China Ming, money and power are low-hanging fruit, and taking the initiative to contaminate those frightening things can only prove that the analysis on TV is right: he just wants to do something for his ethnicity, and he does not have any political ambitions, otherwise he would not become the leader of hundreds of thousands of Chinese and run back to Hollywood to make movies.

Edward, whose heart has fallen to the ground, has a lively mind, and when will people who mix in Hollywood not have more eyes? Glancing at Bong Joon-ho, who was standing tall in the distance, Edward Wickz suddenly understood why Jill was angry with himself on the phone. Edward finished his cigarette, snuffed out the cigarette butt and put it in his jeans pocket, beckoned to Bong Joon-ho, threw the phone back to him, carefully looked at the young Korean man who was not tall and showed a trace of restraint, and suddenly asked: "Hao, do you know that your salary and expenses are actually paid by the boss personally?" ”

Bong Joon-ho, who has not yet become famous, has an instinctive awe in front of this Hollywood director and screenwriter whose teacher is quite important, and hurriedly bowed slightly and said: "We also just knew, and we all thought it was paid by the Hanjiang Group." ”

"Ok, study hard, don't live up to your teacher's kindness. Not everyone is so lucky that you can meet a kind and good person. ”

Edward gave Bong Joon-ho a rare pat on the shoulder, encouraging the young man and sighing for his luck. In fact, Edward didn't have to thank Sun Ziming for his appreciation at all, on the contrary, in Sun Ziming's heart, he could find him out of the sea of people, but he felt like a lackey/luck.

"The Last Samurai" is in Sun Ziming's 'memory', in fact, this Edward? Wyzick's work. In Edward Wizick's version of The Last Samurai, it is about a Westerner who searches for a lost soul and finds confidence and glory in the culture of the East. When Zwick took this script and came to the light and shadow company to seek investment, Sun Ziming fell in love with him, but he only liked the idea, not the story itself.

Edward Zwick wanted to interpret the heroes of the American West from a new perspective, but Sun Ziming wanted to explore the inheritance and protection of traditional culture under the impact of modernization. Edward? Although Zwick wanted to be famous and crazy, he still mustered up the courage to argue, even if it was the famous China Ming who was arguing with him.

Finally, when Edward, who couldn't say Sun Ziming, took the revised script and found his screenwriting team members John Logan and Marshall Heskowitz, after reading the script, the two just said in frustration, 'Zwick, our script is a commercial film, and China Ming will be a "Braveheart"-style epic film.'" ”

So commented on by two like-minded partners, Edward? Ziwei overcame his anger and took the initiative to sell the script he had been polishing for three years to Sun Ziming Film Studio for $700,000 plus 1% of the box office share. And he accepted Sun Ziming's invitation to join his studio and became the on-site assistant director of "The Last Samurai".

But then again, if Edward hadn't met Sun Ziming, he wouldn't have been able to sell the script two years in advance, and he would not have been able to get a high remuneration even if he directed "The Last Samurai".

Ten minutes later, Edward found Sun Ziming. , the good guy in his mind, was watching Guangzai PK with Japanese actor Ken Watanabe, and there were a bunch of shouting actors and crew members around him.

After a crisp sound of weapons clashing, Hikari threw away the military stab in his right hand and grabbed the back of the katana, but the dagger in his left hand pointed at Ken Watanabe's throat and said triumphantly: "Ken Watanabe, if you really fight, I will lose my fingers at most, but you will go into the morgue." ”

"Guo San, I lost", Ken Watanabe bowed deeply, relying on their Japanese etiquette.

'Hehe', Guang Zai laughed proudly, as if he was still the sunshine boy who followed Sun Ziming and was in the crew.

"Okay, rest for half an hour, the next Lu vs. Watanabe Ken! If you want to bet, you should hurry up, all of them are 1:1 odds, and if you want to make a bet, hurry up and bet! ”

Sun Ziming, who was next to him, also excitedly waved a stack of dollars he had just earned, encouraging everyone to continue betting.

"Boss, boss, I have something to do with you", Edward hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and pulled Sun Ziming, who was calculating bets with Guangzai, and walked out.

"Oh", Sun Ziming threw the banknote in his hand on the edge of the table, and followed Edward to the corner along the passage made by everyone.

"That's it? I know, just sign the invoice for me. ”

Sun Tzu Mingle, no wonder Jiang Peng strongly recommended Gil to be the general manager, this overall view alone is enough to prove her excellence. Film is the art of directors, as long as it captures the hearts of these young Koreans, Hangang Group will have a sense of belonging in their hearts in the future, and they will be able to firmly tie these most promising young directors in Korea under their own banner.
