801 Leohard Hamilton
Mobile reading
Mask –
Director Portfield almost burst out laughing, when Director Christo invited the Great Emperor Xiu, Prince Jester and King Leo Hard to shoot his new play at the same time, how high-spirited he was, almost all directors calmly chose to block him.
Well, then it was secretly pulled back - everyone's hunch was right, he wouldn't go so well!
When Leo Hard called, Director Portfield was torn over whether to continue to be a voyeur in the shadows, or to take the opportunity to step on it?
Because he was in a good mood, when he received a call, even if it was a string of unfamiliar numbers, he chose to connect.
even took the initiative to say hello to the other party, and opened his mouth with an extremely pleasant "hi?" ”
Leohard sat up straight, "Director Potter?" Hello, I'm Leo Hard? Hamilton. ”
It's a pity that Director Potter only heard the first half of the sentence, and when Leohard introduced himself, his attention was immediately attracted by the movement on the set-
He covered the microphone and shouted at the young girls who were laughing and playing in the distance, "Stay away from our Sunset City, it's too fragile to withstand your tossing!" ”
The spectacular sunset city in the TV series is not real, in reality, it is built by the skillful hands of the prop master, according to the real ratio of 1:100,000, mainly cardboard, plaster and iron sheet, none of these things are solid.
Watching the girls run away, his attention returned to his phone, "You said you were ...... Oh, I see, you continued. ”
Well, although he didn't hear who the other party was, it didn't stop him from listening.
"I would like to recommend an excellent actress to your crew, she is very, very good and can handle any type of role, whether it is innocent or seductive, and even play is no problem-"
At the mention of his beloved little girl, Leo Hard became a river of words, he had no idea that Portfield had taken the phone away from his ear again, and was glaring at it with an angry face.
Damn, there are always such self-righteous guys!
His eyes fell on the girls in the distance, and the anger in his heart became more and more intense at the thought of someone trying to use the power in his hand to give him an actress who didn't know where to replace these good children-
He couldn't help but get his phone closer again, and coldly interrupted the boast of the guy opposite who was still selling melons in Wang Po: "Do you think you are Leo Harder?" No, I don't have any characters for you here! ”
The other side was instantly quiet, well, finally a little self-aware, Director Portfield's anger calmed down a little, he was about to hang up the phone, a cold male voice came from the other side, as if he was afraid that he would not hear clearly, and the other party's speech speed was very slow:
"I'm Leohard."
"Leohhard, Hamilton."
Director Portfield's mind was dizzy for a moment, and the first thing that came to mind was the content of Director Christo's Twitter that he had just seen:
- That's right! Leohard, this bastard blacked me out!
And Leo Harder, who blocked Director Christo, is talking to him!
For a while, Director Portfield was in a very complicated mood, and for a while he didn't know whether he was stealing more joy or hurting more.
Leohard was happy in his heart, and the other party did not hang up his phone directly, indicating that there was room for communication, and he immediately spoke again, and his voice was extremely modest and polite: "You see, about my friend, who participated in the "Handmaid's War" that you are filming, ......"
Director Portfield immediately sobered up, and he refused without hesitation: "I'm sorry, even if you are Mr. Hamilton himself, I still can't agree to your request." ”
His words were tactful, but the rejection in his words was very firm.
Leohard didn't seem to hear his refusal at all, and opened his mouth calmly again: "One role opportunity, I can play any role you direct, whether it is a passerby or a leading actor, whether it is a homeless, a beggar, or a villain, a murderer-"
"Well, I know, you have a special preference for fairy tales, and if it is your request, then a character like a prince, I will not refuse."
Any director who knows a little bit about Leo Hard knows very well that of all the roles, the role he is most reluctant to accept is a character like a prince in a fairy tale, glamorous, handsome and chic, with the attributes of eternal justice.
Because for him, that is his true colors, and there is no challenge at all.
Director Portfield's breathing has become noticeably heavier, and every director who works in Hollywood knows deeply how good Leohard's brand is.
Otherwise, why did before Leo Hard won the Oscar, every time the media mentioned him, they respectfully called him the uncrowned king of the Oscars, instead of the more ironic Oscar's 10,000-year companion?
Because in Hollywood, the box office determines everything, and Leo Hard's name, as long as it appears on the screen, even if it is just an inconspicuous supporting role, is enough to double the box office revenue of this movie.
This means that if a director wants to make a new film that he likes, but is obviously niche and is destined not to have much box office, then La Reohard is the best choice.
And now, Leo Hard personally promised, any character!
Porterfield admits that he was moved.
However, this heartbeat was not enough for him to make concessions and give up the position of the second or even third female in the TV series "The War of the Handmaids".
His lips moved, and he was about to reject Leohard's proposal with difficulty, but Leohard spoke again, this time, his chips were even more amazing: "I can also bring money into the group." ”
After a pause, he added in a slow but clear tone, "There is no limit to the amount." ”
Unlimited investments?
Portfield was stunned, this, this is simply every director's dream paradise!
A popular science fiction film that year, "Blue Skinned Man", director Mellon, who filmed this film, once set an amazing box office income with a "Shipwreck Love", and maintained the record of No. 1 box office, which has not been surpassed for many years.
But he, when filming "The Blue-Skinned Man", because the filming time was too long, the filming cost continued to increase, which caused great dissatisfaction among investors and almost died halfway through-
Yes, think about it, a billion dollars, even if it is deposited in the bank, is a lot of income every year, but it can be smashed in a movie that has not been released for a long time, which is no different from throwing money in the water.
Of course, director Mellon, who finally withstood the pressure, successfully refreshed his own box office record with "Blue Skinned Man", and once again laughed proudly.
