Chapter 806: The director is emotional
Claire ......"
Many of the songs in the second college had a bit of color in the lyrics, and the stadium could not be sung, and when Song Ya paid a curtain call with Young Dumb, the audience cheered a lot more than Underwood, who waved his hand into the passage, but did not appear again.
Sloane, who stayed in the box to mingle, received a phone call, "Mr. Underwood, I'm sorry, APLUS has an urgent business, he must rush to Hollywood immediately." ”
"Can you tell us?"
Underwood and his wife looked at each other.
"It's nothing, it's Hollywood's trouble...... Sloan explains, "The director of his film project just made negative remarks. ”
The Thanksgiving schedule is approaching, the cat-and-mouse game has launched the last round of screenings, the ban on film reviews has been lifted, the biography of the characters plus the theme of the 60s, plus it is a mainstream commercial feature film, Linton, the president of Hollywood Pictures, has worked very hard to obtain a lot of publicity resources from the parent company Disney, and the professional response is naturally very good.
The project has the hope of being a big hit, and it is frequently rumored that it will be shortlisted for various film awards from the end of this year to the beginning of next year, and the main creators of the crew have already started crazy hype.
The main character, Arbagnell, is the most active, appearing at events, variety shows, giving speeches, talking about upcoming cat-and-mouse games, and promoting his new book, 'The Art of Stealing'.
The second is Jared Leto, the blonde actor has a very good appeal among young people, especially the group of American girls who are fascinated by him from my so-called life dramas, and various manuscript advertorials such as lace scandals, clothing, dramas, and character have won a lot of exposure.
Handsome, loves to play rock music, and lives quietly, infatuated, and talented......
His agent began to help create various labels, and he himself was also very competitive, basically insulated from negative news, and always appeared in a suit or punk style in the publicity stage, with long hair in the middle and a soft short beard, and the character was a bit between Johnny Depp and Little Plum, but more well-behaved and not messing around.
Seriously, isn't he a bit like Jesus on the cross when he wears this hairstyle? The face shape and appearance are similar, all have deep sunken eye sockets, beautiful double eyelids and long eyelashes, and the loneliness and melancholy ...... that are always revealed."
After hurriedly boarding the plane, Song Ya put down the gossip magazine in his hand and smiled.
"Uh, he's not important, it's director Ridley Scott who publicly accuses Disney of editing his movie completely off the original meaning......," Dr. May reminded.
"I know, I'll talk about it when I see them."
Director Ridley Scott has been in a tantrum since the first screening, in his opinion, the work that has worked hard has been cut by the distribution company to a "scattered" not to mention, but also ridiculed by film critics for imitating Spielberg, he and Spielberg are basically contemporaries, he is ten years older, and he lags behind in commercial achievements, but his artistic achievements are not lost, at least he is unwilling to admit defeat.
Now the outside world says that he can't get a job because he can't get a job because he hits the street quickly, so he has to learn from Spielberg, the successful man and the No. 1 box office in film history, and he also learned the rhythm of the other party's movies and began to make mainstream commercial films.
Ridley Scott's level of artists are all very arrogant without exception, and they are always said to be imitators who follow the trend, how can they stand it, he doesn't want to bear it, but due to the recent acceleration of the pace of publicity, the frequency of his contact with the media has increased, and after being asked relevant questions again and again, he finally couldn't hold back, and suddenly broke out, and said a lot of complaints in front of the camera about how much his movie was cut and how much he cut, and pointed the finger directly at the two companies under Disney, Hollywood Pictures, which is responsible for production, and Bowell Pictures, which is responsible for distribution.
"He has a criminal record, Blade Runner incited fans to attack Warner for a whole decade after the box office failure, and the last time Warner released the director's cut, he didn't hesitate to jump out and say that it wasn't the real director's cut, which made Warner's executives disgraced. We at Disney aren't used to his stinky temper......"
In the conference room of Hollywood Pictures, the CEO of Bowei Pictures was holding a cigar and was very unhappy, "Linton, let me say it directly, I can't figure out his words, I don't want to get good resources, Pixar's Toy Story screening results in the same schedule are better, and we are more optimistic about that family cartoon." ”
"Wouldn't that be worse? If the cat-and-mouse game is like Blade Runner, when the box office fails but the word of mouth gradually rises over time, we all end up taking the blame. Linton didn't want to see a cat-and-mouse game on the street, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
"I said I shouldn't have asked him to be a director." The CEO of Bowei Pictures put down an afterthought, "Now it's okay, right?" So what do you say we should do? ”
For them, the success of the project is secondary, and the first place is naturally not to let their own careers take the blame, such as the Blade Runner movie, which did not box office, and the Warner executives who made the decision at that time were chased and scolded by the indignant Ridley Scott and fans for ten years, who could stand it.
Although Blade Runner relied on its super high reputation in the video market and finally made a lot of profits, professional managers can't wait that long, maybe they were taken out by the angry owner before they got back to their original responsibilities and dismissed, who to reason with?
"So the cat-and-mouse game project can't fail, and we'd better convince that stubborn old man today." Linton said.
"Hmph, I didn't cut it anyway."
The executive president of Bowei Pictures glanced at Song Ya and Yeremov, who were turning their heads to listen from left to right, and sneered to pave the way for themselves.
"Well, anyway, I'll wait and we'll find a way to persuade him together."
Song Ya looked at Yeremov.
"The owner...... Shall we go out and say? Go out and say ......"
Yeremov was very aggrieved, nodded to the bigwigs and invited Song Ya out of the conference room, "That old man is very emotional now, we can't handle him, the best result now is the box office success of the cat and mouse game, everyone will break up in the future, and what he says will not have a big impact on us." ”
"Can't turn back?"
"I can't persuade him to turn back, even Warner can't do anything about him, we ......"
Yeremov whispered, "Maybe we shouldn't cut too much." ”
"My fault?"
Song Ya is unhappy, Lao Tzu got it according to the original!
Of course, there is nothing to say to the public, "Anyway, box office success is not a big deal, right?" ”
"That's right." Yeremov replied.
"Hmm."
Ridley Scott hadn't arrived yet, and the two didn't bother to go back to the depressing conference room, so they simply hid outside and chatted, "My forest...... No, how is Amy's career going? ”
"Which Amy? Oh, and Amy Adams has made it to the countdown round audition for a modern remake of Romeo and Juliet, and his opponents are very strong, with 'What the is going on' heroine Ricci Witherspoon, The Addams Family and Ghost Pony Pixie heroine Christina Richie, and that killer is not too cold heroine Natalie Portman. Rational and emotional female supporting Kate Winslet, Kate also got the heroine of the Titanic, and played a couple with Xiao Lizi. and my so-called life heroine, Claire Danes, who, like Leto, also became popular through that series, and his role was even more important......"
Yeremov said, "Hayden and William Morris are desperately fighting for the role of Amy, and the competition is fierce. ”
"Wow, are they all young actresses with both strength and connections?" Song Ya gasped, "Amy doesn't have an advantage in any aspect." ”
Christina Richie and Natalie Portman both showed explosive acting skills at a very young age, and he knew that Amy should not be as good as them now, and Kate Winslet was born in the British Academy, and Hollywood recognized the drama schools there and the qualifications of London's West End.
Looks ...... Amy doesn't have any advantages, everyone is very beautiful, and the style is different, "No, I have to let Xiao Lizi help, he's the male lead, right?" ”
"Yes, he won an early victory over Christian Bale in the casting contest, but ...... You beat him. ”
"I'm stupid, I'm going to ask for a role in person, Emmm......"
Song Ya looked at the ceiling with both eyes and recalled, "Xiao Lizi seems to be quite afraid of David, let Hayden ask David Geffen for help, and I will also call him, he likes me very much now." ”
Yeremov continued to report.
Halle went back this year, and was played hard by the producers in the King Solomon and Sheba project, and danced out of the sequel to my life director Stephen Glenhaal's previous filming of the war between the biological mother and adoptive mother, which also hit a big blow, with a production cost of 17 million and more than 7 million box office, but the film has a good artistic reputation, and she finally came to work before the awards season and was praised by many performance critics, and has recently been filming the highest crisis of action blockbusters.
Charlise Theron has gotten a lot of good opportunities from herself and through her agent, and since Spike Lee's No. 6 Call Girl was filmed in New York and the other auditions were mostly in Hollywood, she's been busy traveling between the two places lately.
Alan Pong Pai was also content to join the crew of Jurassic Park screenwriter David Cape's debut film, 'Mutation'.
"Uh-huh." Song Yazheng nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly there was a quarrel in the office, it should be Ridley Scott who had arrived.
The old man brought a lot of battle this time, the lawyer, the agent, his younger brother, Anthony Scott, who is also the director, and the senior management of Scott free Film Studio, seem to be really angry.
"I know it's you, it's you Linton."
Song Ya and Yeremov quietly touched in, and Ridley Scott had already started a fire on Linton, "During the filming, you have been in this scene over budget, and there is no need to interfere with my directorial authority and normal work, I have put up with you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to refuse to stop and cut my movie like this without permission!" ”
"In any case, it's irresponsible for you to spread that kind of rhetoric before the release of the movie Ridley, and if you say that kind of thing, what will the critics and the award judges think of the cat-and-mouse game? You're a veteran in the industry, and you know it's going to be a big deal for the film awards......"
The CEO of Bowei Pictures relieved Linton from the side, "This is a major blow to our long-term screening plans. ”
"So I brought in a lawyer, and I knew I had violated the director's contract, and I was willing to pay compensation." The old man said very stiffly.
"It's not about the money, Mr. Scott, you can't make those statements anymore, it's not good for either of us."
Linton was also sulking, and Song Ya knew it was time to speak, "You also know what the situation of A+ Pictures and Hollywood Pictures is, we can't afford to lose......"
"Then he shouldn't cut my movie!"
Ridley Scott stared at Linton, "I don't want to challenge Disney's final editing rights, but Linton has cut too much, and the release version has taken a very big hit to my personal reputation, I'm not saying I hate Spielberg, I have a very good personal relationship with him, but I can't tolerate people thinking I'm imitating him!" ”
"What's wrong with you Ridley, it's all my fault?"
Linton couldn't bear it anymore, "I got the complete script for you with APLUS, and the final editing also followed the script, you have to shoot those extra shots...... And, and isn't it APLUS that you are most to blame for this? He insisted on cutting it like that, and it wasn't me! ”
"Linton, you...... M-fxxk……”
Song Ya didn't expect him to decisively betray his teammates, and the eyes of Ridley Scott's gang had already bet on it, so he could only squeeze out a smile and say hard-headed: "Mr. Scott, I think so......"
"You're so shameless Linton, shirking responsibility for the twenty-one-one kids? How? Think I wouldn't be embarrassed to lose my temper with APLUS? ”
Unexpectedly, Ridley Scott didn't believe it at all, turned his head and continued to scold Linton, "I know it's you, it's you, only you can do it!" ”
When Song Ya heard this, she immediately shrunk her neck and lowered her body along the seat.
