Chapter 187: Stunner

Even if there is no so-called director, find a lover who has some research on movies, as long as you shoot according to the book, you can make a classic! So, although he is not a director in name, he actually does a lot of director work! Moreover, as soon as it is shot, it is three classics! It's really disrespectful!

The rest of my life listened to Howard's complaints, and I also relaxed. However, he didn't believe Howard's complaints, when this playboy held the casting power, he didn't know how much girl tofu he would eat with this power!

After Howard finished speaking, Meyer said to the rest of his life: "Of course, our criteria for selecting actors are not complicated, as long as they can make money and make the audience feel satisfied!" It's just that these three movies were conceived by Yu You yourself, I think, what kind of actor should be chosen to play what role, or Yu You decides that it is more appropriate! ”

The rest of my life was shocked when I heard thisβ€”huh? When will the king of Hollywood be willing to give up his power?

However, Meyer added a sentence that made the rest of his life feel relieved. Meyer added: "Of course, if you can make money for us! ”

Yu Sheng thought for a moment, nodded and agreed, "Yes!" I've already taken care of the transportation of supplies! Nothing lately and I can start working tomorrow! However, I'm only in charge of the selection of the main character! For some other small characters, please choose according to the amount of money they donated at the charity gala! Those who donate a lot of money have a great priority, and even let them choose their own roles! I always have to repay their support for the war! ”

Yu Sheng's proposal not only ensured the quality of the film, but also returned part of the casting power to the Meyer trio. Meyer, who was originally a little unwilling, suddenly smiled. So the matter was agreed.

After the matter was agreed, the dinner began. The dinner party of these top American richest people does not look luxurious. Although the ingredients are top-notch, most of them are simple and simple. At least in the eyes of Yu Sheng and Qing Xiaoyi, the two people who run the restaurant. Albert's home-roasted turkey. The taste is really average. Only Meyer's caviar was very popular.

As an American of Ukrainian descent, Meyer's favorite food is caviar. And caviar is not a common thing. Although every species of fish produces fish roe. However, in general, only sturgeon eggs can be called caviar, and only three varieties of sturgeon eggs can be made into caviar. The best caviar is produced in the Caspian Sea, on the border between Iran and Russia. In this era when artificial breeding is not yet developed, caviar is indeed a rare enjoyment.

After Yu Sheng and Qing Xiaoyi had a big meal, they said goodbye and left. According to his original plan. As long as these movies are made step by step. He has written the script in great detail, and there will be no mistakes in thinking about it, and the quality will always be guaranteed. But now, there is the right to cast, so these movies will be unstoppable.

For a movie, choosing a suitable actor to play the role can at least add three points of charm to the movie. Of course, three points is just a conservative statement. A lot of times, it's a sea change. Just as posterity cannot imagine without Audrey Hepburn's "Roman Holiday" or Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable's "Gone with the Wind." There are people. Some actors, their natural temperament determines that the role is hers!

If Audrey Hepburn is asked to play Marilyn Monroe's "The Seven Year Itch" or Marilyn Monroe is asked to play Audrey Hepburn's "Roman Holiday", I am afraid that neither movie will become a classic, at most it is just a second-rate story.

Reminds of Marilyn Monroe. Yu Sheng suddenly remembered that this girl was still working in the aircraft radio equipment manufacturing factory at this time! It wasn't until 1945 that photographer David published his photographs. will become famous in one fell swoop! If Marilyn Monroe is snare into his team, he will make other men envious of him in the future!

This kind of thing is naturally without delay, so after returning to the residence, Yu Sheng called Huang Zongzhan: "Help me find someone!" ”

"No problem, boss! Is this person male or female? ”

"Female!" Huang Zongzhan made a long voice on the other end of the phone: "Oh......" seemed to have suddenly realized. Then he said: "Boss, rest assured!" I'm keeping this a secret! The hostess will never know! ”

Yu Sheng rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with this middle-aged uncle, and went straight to the point: "This person's name is Norma Jane Baker." He was a Jew born in Los Angeles on June 1, 1926! He had been in an orphanage, had been fostered many times, and was now supposed to work in an aircraft radio equipment manufacturing factory. ”

After Huang Zongzhan wrote down the information, he said to Yu Sheng: "Boss, don't worry! With such detailed information, it is estimated that people will be found the day after tomorrow, but what will you say after finding people? ”

"You said, you want to ask her to be a movie actress! If nothing else, she won't refuse! ”

"Okay!" After Huang Zongzhan hung up the phone, Yu Sheng was a little stunned with a beeping microphone, and he suddenly remembered that in this Hollywood, there was once a genius beauty who coexisted with beauty and intelligence, but she was still unknown at this time!

So, as soon as the first call hung up, the second call went out again! The call was to Meyer: "Dear Meyer, help me invite Hedy Lamarr!" ”

And Meyer's reaction was very similar to Huang Zongzhan, and he said in a very playful tone: "Dear Yu, you really have vision. But Heidi is thirty years old this year, so I'll give you a younger girl! ”

Yu Sheng hung up the phone depressed, saying that the dignified king of Hollywood actually had times when he pimped. And it's so open-minded.

However, the rest of my life also knew that the atmosphere in Hollywood has always been like this, and it has continued to be in future generations. In Hollywood, where handsome men and beautiful women are everywhere, it is indeed difficult for someone to control themselves from beginning to end. Consciously and voluntarily splitting and cheating, it is absolutely common. It's no longer news that women like women, and men like men.

In later generations, the chaos and unspoken rules of the entertainment industry were often reported in the news in China, but in today's Hollywood under the star system, it has become a rule that everyone knows and can put on the table. Howard Hughes, who later became known as the world's greatest womanizer, was the biggest beneficiary of this rule.

In 1948, Howard Hughes, a wealthy man, bought control of the entire Raiden Company and became the new head of Hollywood. From now on. Hollywood women, but as long as they can get into his eyes, few can escape the clutches. Howard Hughes's most common thing to do was to look through the newspapers, magazines, or photos of beautiful women sent by scouts, and when he found a tasty prey, he pointed to the photo and said to his subordinates, "I want this girl!" ”

Then, Howard's men will quickly find the girl, give the girl a series of favorable conditions, and promise to train her to become a movie star. In any age, both now and hereafter. Few girls can refuse this sudden surprise. Nine times out of ten, uh, no, almost ten out of ten will obediently!

Of course, Howard Hughes is not like the imposter scouts of later generations, who will neither cheat money nor sex, and will give girls special training courses in dance, body, decoration and acting, according to his promises. They will even pay for the girl's teeth and appearance. These girls also know the truth that pies don't fall from the sky, and when they find out that Howard Hughes is indeed paying for themselves, they will naturally pay back. Do things like making a few personal promises, and there won't be the slightest psychological barrier.

Howard Hughes's harem. Therefore, it is expanding rapidly, and although there will be a brain drain from time to time, it is also replenished very quickly. A Hollywood magazine once reported on a lace story by Howard Hughes, claiming that it was in the same time period. In Los Angeles alone, there are 164 girlfriends. Although, this news has not been voiced by insiders. Prove its authenticity, but there is no chance to meet the public. The reason is simple, when this issue of this magazine was first printed, all the magazines were bought up by Howard Hughes's subordinates and destroyed!

Of course, in a place like Hollywood, not only are men in high positions choosing women, but there are also women in lower positions choosing men! Generally speaking, when a film needs a young female character and there is a male in his hand who has the power to choose the role, that male is favored. Whether it's Meyer, Howard Hughes or Albert, Huang Zongzhan knows this.

Several bigwigs gave up the casting right to the rest of their lives, firstly, because they have been in the middle of thousands of flowers, and they have been able to completely control themselves, and they know that making money is the most important thing. And the rest of your life can guarantee the quality and box office of the movie. Second, you can also use this matter to make friends for the rest of your life. The rest of his life is only in his twenties now, and in the next few decades, it is inevitable that there will be other amazing works! With friendship, it will be much easier to obtain the power to operate these works.

And the rest of his life now has the casting rights for three movies that are almost bound to become popular, and it is natural to have some other thoughts. It's no wonder that several men want to be crooked. And Huang Zongzhan knew that the boss wanted to choose a concubine, and the first one to find it was himself, according to the logic of Chinese human feelings, this is a manifestation of the boss's trust in himself! In other words, among the four major irons of men, isn't there one who has found a girl together?

Therefore, Huang Zongzhan is very quick to do things. However, it took more than ten hours to find the Jewish girl named Norma Jane Baker in the aircraft radio equipment factory. After seeing this girl, Huang Zongzhan pursed his lips and said in his heart, the boss's vision is really not good. This girl's hips are too wide, and her legs are slightly short and thick, so she is really not a high-class talent!

And Norma Jane Baker is very confused, as a movie lover, she has naturally heard of the names of Huang Zongzhan and Yu Sheng. "The Sound of Music" and "Havoc in Heaven", which were filmed for the rest of my life, have not only watched it once. It's just that I never thought that I would take the initiative to make a movie with her for the rest of my life!

However, Norma Jane Baker knew that the opportunity was rare, and without the slightest hesitation, he took the initiative to agree! At this time, in her opinion, she has only one chance to change her fate in this life. If you don't catch it, you will always live in the current situation, and life is better than death.

Norma Jane Baker, later known as Marilyn Monroe, was a legend in later generations, but had a tragic childhood. The degree of desolation is far greater than that of the little cabbage, and it is simply the best of all movie stars after its own movies.

Norma Jane Baker's mother, who suffers from severe schizophrenia. This condition caused Norma Jane Baker's mother to frequently go in and out of psychiatric hospitals and various asylum centers. His father was also reluctant to admit his relationship with Norma Jane Baker. As long as there is anything about his daughter, he will refer it to the lawyer. Norma Jane Baker's younger brother was forced to commit suicide by his mother.

And because of the illness of Norma Jane Baker's mother, it is very difficult for her to obtain a stable income. Norma Jane Baker was left uncared for since she was a child, and she had to find someone to adopt. At this time, Norma Jane Baker's luck was almost extreme, and the family that adopted her had almost no normal people. So, she can't stay in every family for too long. There are as many as 12 such families!

One of them gave her empty bottles of whiskey as toys, and another often beat her with a sharpening belt. Her grandmother had tried to suffocate her with a pillow, and one of her neighbors had killed her beloved puppy in front of her...... Because of this childhood experience, Norma Jane Baker became extremely inferior, stammered, suffered from chronic insomnia, and craved attention and pursuit. Only by being worshipped can the wounds in her heart be erased. And movie stardom is almost the only profession that can satisfy its psychological needs.

If the course of later history continues, Marilyn Monroe would have taken her first series of photographs with photographer David in 1945 that circulated among the public. He first appeared on the cover of a magazine in 1946 and then signed with Twentieth Century Fox. Then in 1949, with a naked attitude, she appeared on the Miss Golden Dream calendar, and then became famous in one fell swoop! Subsequently, this photo became the cover of the inaugural issue of the world-famous magazine "Playboy"!

However, with the early excavation of the rest of his life, Norma Jane Baker naturally does not need to go down the old path. He asked Huang Zongzhan to take Norma Jane Baker to the house he bought in Hollywood for the rest of his life and used as a studio for his team. And bring in a few of Hollywood's top costume designers, stylists, and makeup artists. Let them design the makeup, clothes and styling of Norma Jane Baker that best suits her body and facial features. (To be continued.) )
