After Christmas, in the country without the Spring Festival, it has become the same as normal, the work that should work, the busyness, almost only Shao Yingying, who is in a foreign country, will feel that something is missing, and others are very accustomed to living in this world.

New Year's flavor, this is something that Shao Yingying thinks Hollywood is missing, even if Hollywood is very lively now.

Hollywood in mid-January is the hottest time for "Avatar", the whole Hollywood is full of news about the box office of "Avatar" soaring to take off, Uncle Cameron Card shocked the world as soon as he made a shot, the gorgeous Pandora Star Every plant makes people feel that this is completely different from the earth, and even will be deeply immersed in it, the imagination that can directly penetrate the universe and not be hindered at all begins to soar freely after plugging in its wings, and every audience is taken by Uncle Card into his spiritual world.

Shao Yingying and Harry Sloan led all MGM executives to charter a theater to watch the movie, and at that moment, Shao Yingying saw the disappointment on people's faces, which was not a disappointment in the movie, but a disappointment in his own imagination.

The aliens resembling the Smurfs are full of human shadows, and the wonderful planet Pandora has towering giant trees and mountains floating in the air, even if this setting has a little bit of a plagiarism of the floating peaks in "Shu Mountain", it can set off all the originality on the earth is to make people think about it.

MGM's senior management was struck a blow, if they were asked to design a planet, maybe they could design the difference between aliens and the earth, but the kind of close connection that can make people look very familiar and sure that this is not on the earth will definitely not exist.

The only drawback of this movie is that it is collected too quickly, and when counterattacking the human race, there must be a process in which the male protagonist struggles to collect the races of Pandora. It's going to be a lot of fun. Of course, this point is likely to be based on the consideration of the length of the film, and it is also very likely that he has filmed all the qiē well. But it was cut out because of time.

All in all, the film gave him the feeling that he had learned a lot, and although the whole film was shot in the same way as a traditional Hollywood commercial film, the imagination in it was really jaw-dropping.

"Shao, we are lucky, we have met a movie like "Valentine's Day" that relies on big names to fight the market, if we meet "Avatar", it is estimated that our box office results will shrink by at least more than half." After returning to the company. Harry Sloan is still reminiscing about all the shots from the film.

Shao Yingying understands that in the face of such a movie, he can't say big things like transcendence with enthusiasm, and the way to ease the atmosphere can only be to joke: "Who made him Cameron?" ”

After saying that, he continued, "Harry. How's the "Darling" cast contact? ”

"I was about to tell you about this, if this matter is a company to operate, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult, and now Hollywood's big names are getting paid and box office dividends, and the top stars with a salary of $25 million are Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Adam Sandler and so on. People want to be famous, famous, and have funds. Moreover, the image is not bad, and it is completely possible not to rely on public welfare movies to gain popularity, so it is a big deal not to participate in the filming of this movie. The actresses in the movie are easy to find, after all, there are many female stars who want to change their image, especially in Hollywood, where actresses are fame too quickly. ”

Hearing Harry Sloan's explanation, Shao Yingying thought about it for a while, if there is a public welfare film in China to find him to star in 0 salary. How do you feel?

This time he was relieved, when "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" found him. I'm afraid that feeling is the same as the feeling of holding a public welfare film and looking for other heroes to star. But if this movie doesn't find the top star, there will definitely be a gap in publicity......

Shao Yingying thought about the connections he had accumulated in "The Expendables", if people saw Stallone or Jason Statham play such a father, and did not take out a bunch of guns from the basement to have an earth-shattering battle to seize the child after losing the child, I am afraid that all the audience would count on the fact that this group of people will become extremely violent when they appear in this kind of movie, and who is still looking forward to the acting skills, just waiting to watch the action scenes.

"A different way of thinking, we have to think differently."

When Shao Yingying was thinking about it from a different angle, he smiled: "Harry, what do you think is the attitude of the United States government department if we tell the government department that we have such a plan?" ”

"Movies like this, as long as they are for public welfare, government departments will strongly support them, and they will spare no effort to provide relevant information, that's for sure." Harry Sloan seemed to be touching the edge, and in the process of getting along with Shao Yingying for a long time, he gradually got used to the other party's thoughts: "You mean ......"

Shao Yingying smiled evilly: "If we tell the government that such a public welfare film is fully invested by MGM, and we don't want a penny at the box office, the only problem is that we are afraid that the invited Hollywood big-name movie stars will refuse to star, do you think the government will help us?" ”

"You're so bad, I have to be careful, or when you've had enough of Hollywood, maybe one day you'll sell me and MGM together, and maybe I'll have to count the money for you then."

Harry Sloan sighed with emotion and began to busy the preparation of the film, when he contacted the relevant government departments, the relevant government departments agreed very happily, and even praised Shao Hero as a conscientious businessman, at that moment Harry Sloan's face was red.

After contacting a little, Shao Yingying and Harry Sloan rushed to Tom Hanks's house with government officials, anyway, there is a big flag of the United States government department in his hand, so don't you shake it to death? Of course, whoever is looking for whom.

Tom Hanks' villa in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles is a beach villa that was sold for $5.2 million in 2013 by OK, which he and his wife bought in 1988, when the couple's popularity was still on the rise.

In fact, Tom Hanks, who gets a top salary in Hollywood, doesn't have much of a liking, and he doesn't particularly like famous cars like many celebrities, he only likes big houses and travel, and he also likes to pay in cash. Who could have imagined that Tom Hanks, who will be paid $49 million in the future, stun a real estate agent with several large bags of cash?

Entering the villa, Shao Yingying saw that it was a warm European style, and the room on the left hand side of the door contained an open kitchen, dining table and a huge living room in front of it. The living room was the place where they talked, and this time, Tom Hanks, who was contacted by the government department, did not find an agent, he didn't know that it was about participating in a certain film, thinking that the government department was looking for him to participate in some event.

"Tom." A white government official, dressed in a gray suit and white shirt, sat in a corner of the couch and said, "I'm your movie fan." ”

After saying this, Tom Hanks smiled very implicitly, with a not-so-obvious sense of self-satisfaction in it: "Thank you." ”

"By the way, these two are the chairman and chairman of MGM. Harry Sloan and Mr. Shao Yingying. As soon as the government official finished the introduction, Tom Hanks came over and shook hands and said, "There's no one in Hollywood who doesn't know them." ”

Harry Sloan answered, "There's no one you don't know. ”

After a few people sat down, Shao Yingying still didn't speak. He was waiting for the opening remarks from government officials.

"That's right, Tom, MGM plans to invest in a public welfare film about the disappearance of the three children of 'Eitan, Adam, and Amber' in our country and the birth of the Code-Adam and Amber systems. It's a very meaningful movie. So, they need Hollywood superstars with very high visibility to stand up and promote, we all thought of you, you are the most suitable person, I don't know, can you participate? ”

When Tom Hanks listened to the whole sentence, he didn't react much, just said calmly: "Can you briefly describe this movie?" ”

Shao Yingying finally spoke: "This movie is called "Dear". It will be told from the disappearance of his first child, Eitan in 1979, to the kidnapping of Amber in 1996, and is a three-part film. The color is set as a white family, a black family, and a yellow family, in which the white family runs throughout, that is, Eitan's father strongly asked the government to establish a data processing center to find the lost child after the loss of the child and the other two families joined, and the three plots are the three families after the loss of the child, until the emergence of the Code-Adam and Amber systems. ”

"If you're short on time, you can change the plot to a black family throughout, just reverse the order of the story."

Tom Hanks understands why Shao Yingying and government officials are looking for him, this is a film that does not pay attention to filming techniques, nor does it pay attention to the natural change of anything, what is needed is the most down-to-earth, unpretentious sincerity in acting, which no one in Hollywood can do better than Tom Hanks.

"Can you tell me who the black family is going to find to play?"

Government officials glanced at Shao Yingying, they hadn't talked about this before.

Shao Yingying replied frankly: "So far in this movie, no one has been confirmed to join except myself, I originally planned to invite you and Denzel Washington, I must say, I have no confidence in these two invitations, after all, you are the best actors in the whole Hollywood." ”

Tom Hanks was a little moved, he is an Oscar winner, Denzel Washington is also an Oscar winner, there is only the weakness of the title of Shao Hero in the whole movie, but it may be difficult to find a higher than Shao Hero among Chinese actors.

"If I say yes, are you sure you want Denzel to be involved in the film?" Tom Hanks really wants to play in the same movie as Denzel Washington, after all, there are too few opponents in this level, and it is even more difficult to get together.

Shao Yingying looked at Tom Hanks and said, "All I can say is that I will do my best. ”

A government official interjected, "We would all love for you to be a part of a film like this, but I'm afraid you won't have any financial benefit from this movie, because after the film is filmed, the government will take over, and every penny after the release will be donated to the Code-Adam and Amber systems, so that more missing children can be saved...... I must say that this is not a coercion, but a plea. ”

Tom Hanks glanced at the government official very meaningfully, and looked at Shao Yingying, the moment he sat on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, he pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I'M-IN." (To be continued......)
