Chapter 21 Auditions

Subtitle of this chapter: Sensei worries, it won't become an entertainment stream.

"Gentlemen...... There are also two ladies. Tell me, why are we crowdfunding? ”

Our Master Yuan is now in the big conference room of Le Monde, in a meeting with a bunch of friends plus Mr. Hirst Pulitzer.

One of the great troubles of his old man is that he is a good teacher, and the more people there are, the more agile his thinking will be, and his spirit will be refreshed. The scientific name of this kind of problem is that people come crazy, and it really deserves to be surnamed Yuan......

Mr. John McCall is the most intelligent person in the room, and the least likely to eat his set. His personal lawyer was the first to raise his hand and asked, "Neo, isn't it because we don't have any money?" ”

“RONG! TOTALLY RONG! What a mistake, my Mr. McCall. ”

Yuan Yanqian pointed at Mr. Louis Baker and said: "We are now taking this script to the First National Bank of New York, and we dare not say that we can borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars." Louie, don't you say? ”

The chairman of the NYPR touched his nose and nodded.

In fact, Master Yuan is now a family friend of the Baker family, and as long as he has time, he will go to their mansion on Fifth Avenue to play mahjong.

Like the original timeline, in just a few months, Mahjong has taken New York by storm and become the latest fashion.

On Wall Street in particular, mahjong is particularly popular with these vampires because it is claimed that mahjong can be used as a divination tool to predict financial markets. Of course, this person is Yuan Da fooling himself.

Louie's uncle, Mr. George Baker Jr., was also fond of playing mahjong, and even introduced the game to the yacht club, making it a kind of aristocratic sport.

Moreover, the second-generation head of the Baker family has a vision that is not much worse than his father, and he can also see that our Master Yuan is a business wizard. If nothing else, let's just say that Neo Yuan spent $30,000 to buy NYPR shares, and if he wants to sell it in just a few months, he is willing to double the purchase.

Isn't this a business wizard, who is a business wizard? Therefore, as long as Yuan Yanqian opens her mouth, it is really not a big problem to borrow more than 100,000 or 200,000 US dollars.

"See, everyone. I don't do crowdfunding just for money, but for publicity. And this time the promotion of "Famine Orphan Girl" will start from now. ”

"First of all...... Yuan Yanqian pointed to David Griffith, "we want to reveal a little bit about Mr. Griffith's current situation to the outside world." He has been unscrupulously suppressed by Hollywood's Jewish studios, and his new film has suffered Waterloo, and it has reached the point of exhaustion......"

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" The film master who was picking up a cup and drinking coffee was almost choked to death, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Miss Lillian-Gish, who was sitting next to her, immediately defended her mentor and said, "Tired, isn't this too much? David wasn't so miserable yet......"

"YOU'RE ALSO RONG! TOTALLY RONG! That's how miserable Mr. Griffith is. By the way, he also sold his real estate for this film......"

By the way, when I came over, I watched the entertainment news, and it seems that a martial arts star really sold his house in order to shoot a new film, and I don't know what happened to the box office of his "Wolf Warrior 2".

Forget it, I can't take care of this matter, let's focus on the present.

"And you Lilian, as the producer of this film, you are taking a great financial risk, and you, as the heroine, would rather lower your salary to act, all because you not only want to repay the favor, but also moved by my script. That's what you're going to say to the reporters outside. ”

The big star nodded as if he didn't understand.

"In short, this "Famine Orphan Girl" encountered a lot of difficulties before filming began, and even the British ridiculed that this kind of film would definitely fail miserably at the box office......"

"I'm sorry, Neo. Excuse me. Miss Emma Pulitzer raised her hand and said, "How did the British know we were making this film?" ”

"Well......" Yuan Yanqian glanced at her with the eyes of a fool, and finally decided not to hit the journalist too badly, so he said lightly, "Le Monde and NYPR said that the British know, and the British know. ”

"Oh!" This "priestess" has really grown a lot with Master Yuan, and now she understands it.

"Where did I go...... By the way, why Hollywood and the British are not optimistic about this film, the reason is that "Famine Orphan Girl" is about the Great Famine in Ireland. The people of the whole world, including the United States, have long forgotten about this incident, and who cares about such a tragedy that happened more than half a century ago? ”

This time, no one interrupted, and Master Yuan continued to speak: "Therefore, Mr. Griffith and the producers asked the kind American people for help on this, a dollar is not a lot, and a hundred dollars is not much. However, no matter how much money you have, you will receive a handwritten thank you letter from Mr. Griffith and the main creative staff, and a pre-sale ticket to a local movie theater......"

"The key point is that the girl with this thank you letter can participate in the actor audition of "Famine Orphan Girl"! As long as they are valued by the crew, they can star in the roles in the film, of course, most of them are extras. ”

This time it was Mr. Griffith's turn to be curious, and when he finally stopped coughing, he asked, "Neo, why bother?" It's good if the extras just find some people. ”

“RONG! TOTALLY RONG! Yuan Yanqian said excitedly, "David, you are wrong. I held this audition for you, the director, and for the movie "Famine Orphan Girl", and most importantly, for the art of film! ”

"Huh?"

Our Master Yuan said to the people with blank faces: "Everyone knows that the society now looks down on movies, does not regard them as elegant art at all, and even looks down on movie actors, and regards them as cheap servants who sell laughter. ”

“RONG! TOTALLY RONG! ”

"I think that's extremely wrong. I just want to use this audition to tell the public that cinema is art......" he said with a deep look at Miss Lillian-Guish, "and being a movie actor is a very glorious thing!" ”

"Tired!" When Miss Ji Xu heard this, she suddenly stood up, and her eyes were full of sparkling water, and she stared at Yuan Yanqian with affection in front of the public.

She realized that what she had said was actually to her, and that it was ...... Well, at least part of it was also made for her, and naturally it was very touching and very moving.

Yuan Yanqian's face was calm and happy, and he would definitely be able to unlock a few new poses tonight.
