Chapter 304: The Wind Rises
Over here...... The environment is good, I heard that you have made another movie, why didn't you look for me?"
The dissatisfied tone almost made Liszt believe it, I'm looking for you to do it, when your salary is still two thousand dollars.
Liszt would definitely not say this kind of thing as long as he was not hopelessly naïve, and everyone was not familiar with it to that extent.
But in any case, since Sidney came to Los Angeles, Liszt still had to entertain her, and he didn't go to any French restaurant, let alone pick any Michelin, but in his own Chinese restaurant.
He bought George's Restaurant before, and I heard that the old couple took the money to buy a small farm in the countryside...... Thinking too much, the money is not enough, they are not rich, running a farm requires costs, the annual taxes to be paid can scare people to death, they are old and unwilling to play with the bank in a heartbeat, how to play things that are destined to not be played?
Anyway, the two old men went to the countryside to resume their old business, and they still opened a restaurant, but the scale was small, it was still fast food, and they didn't earn much but enough to live, and they ...... Well, it's privacy, how would Liszt know.
Liszt converted George's Restaurant into a Chinese restaurant and hired a chef from Chinatown, and his skills were not bad.
Liszt stipulated that the restaurant only sells authentic Chinese food, the kind that does not change the taste, there must be no business in the early stage, and Liszt doesn't care, he spends money to raise it, anyway, the purpose of his store is not to do business.
In addition, there is an apprentice named Joseph, who is said to be an apprentice, and he also has another identity - a bodyguard.
Although most of the gangsters on this street were cut from the street to the end of the alley by a watermelon knife of the Bloodpalm Demon (Shame) and went to the hospital, the dog couldn't change its, and not long after being discharged from the hospital, the gangster still wouldn't look for a serious job.
Liszt's restaurant, renamed "Shilixiang", is also a Chinese industry, so it is natural that it has become the first target of these punks to blackmail and eat overlord meals.
At that time, when Liszt was looking for a cook in Chinatown, he met Joseph, who was beaten up by a man who was lying on his stomach four or five thugs, and he was sloppy and long-haired, and he could be an artist without trimming, and he was full of alcohol.
Liszt fell in love with his skills, but this guy was an alcoholic, and even if his shop didn't make money, Liszt didn't want to be demolished by an alcoholic in three days.
Later, Liszt found out that this guy was quite principled, although he looked no different from a homeless man, but he would never smash and loot, and he had nothing to do with people, and moved his waist.
Later, I don't know what happened, but when I saw him again, this guy's hair was also shaved, and he was drunk...... I don't know if he quit or not, but he certainly didn't hold a bottle of wine all day long, when he was looking for work at a roast duck restaurant.
The boss thought he was inexperienced and didn't want it, so Liszt directly cut off his beard, recruited him into Shilixiang, and when he was fine, he gave the chef a hand, swept the floor and wiped the dishes, and asked him to appear when he was looking for trouble.
To get back to the topic, Sidney took the initiative to contact Liszt this time, and there was nothing else, except to thank Liszt for saving him, mainly to see if Liszt could arrange a role for him.
"Roles? I don't have a role for you in this movie, it's all a character who is forty years old, and you are too young and beautiful. Liszt silently added in his heart: Although it does not meet my aesthetics, the American people think you are beautiful, and this is a work that requires acting skills.
Sidney is not a novice now, she can still understand the meaning of Liszt's words, but Liszt's praise is quite useful to her.
"Okay, then remember to call me next time if there's a suitable one."
"You're not acting anymore?"
Sidney was silent, since that incident, the drama club has basically disbanded, but there are some horror movies that will find her and let her play one or two roles, and even let her star.
This girl didn't take it anymore after acting in one or two films, they were all the same roles, too stupid.
She actually didn't even want to come to the filming of this killing, but who made him run out of money, this girl earned her own part-time job to go to college, and she could have continued to work, but if she was recognized, it would be a lot of trouble, so she simply accepted the invitation and played a small supporting role, the kind that will die within a few minutes of appearance.
The heroine in the killing originally wanted to play her, but she didn't want to recall that terrible memory, so she couldn't complain about others.
"Then will you still act in horror movies in the future?"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm probably going to only make R-rated movies in the future, you know the market is stable." Is Liszt because the market is stable? This is only part of the reason, but also because horror movies are the safest for him.
For example, the murderer in Texas, even if this world really exists and the murderer still exists, he can't be sued for infringement.
Shoot a ghost, even if there are similar real events in the future, you will not doubt his origin, let alone copyright issues.
No one will believe that there are ghosts, and even if someone sees it with their own eyes and says it, they will end up in a mental hospital.
The two chatted nonchalantly, and in the end Liszt didn't make any guarantees, only said that there was a chance to work together, which sounded very perfunctory, but Liszt thought so.
It didn't take long for Sidney to take her leave, to be precise, after a Chinese meal, the chef was good, at least Liszt heard Sidney burp, although she covered it up well.
Liszt didn't leave immediately, he sat in the restaurant and thought about how to promote the distribution from Earth, and when the film was made, he had to think about how to sell it.
In fact, Huang Chamberlain was already helping to contact this in the late stage of production, I heard that he also went to find Harpy, and I heard that the two guys who were supposed to be 404 also teamed up to invest in a low-budget action movie.
Although Harpy is not a serious person in the entertainment industry, who let him follow the one who is most respected by the major stars in the entertainment industry, and the star is even more respected by the film company.
Investment, as long as that person is willing to invest, what if the film doesn't make money, who still lacks this money?
It's a pity that Tony Stark can only see beautiful women and can't see these film companies, they can't get along, but it doesn't matter, I can't communicate with Tony, isn't there a "close minister of heaven" who is keen on entertainment.
Because of this, Harpy has also become a sweetheart, just so that Harpy can say a few nice words in front of Tony.
In a word, if Harpy is willing to help, the distribution company should not be difficult to find, provided that the quality of the movie is passable, and Harpy's face is not big enough for other distribution companies to help at a loss.
However, Liszt did not agree, he was afraid that he would agree to Harpy's help, and it would be difficult for Harpy to refuse when he asked him to make low-budget action movies in the future.
But there is finally a way back, the rest still have to run one by one, the six are not counted on, find those small companies, if you can't do it, you can go to the film festival to hang around, don't expect to win awards, just coat the nominated gold.
Just as he was thinking about it, a group of people barged in.
It can't be said that it is broken, after all, it is a restaurant, and the guests come to eat, but the attitude of these guests is not very good, what makes Liszt strange is that these people are all Asian, why do you say you don't go to Chinatown to come here?
Liszt wanted to drive people out, but after all, there was no trouble, and there was still a Joseph here, so there should be nothing wrong.
What Liszt didn't expect was that it didn't take long for a few more Asians to come in, followed by blacks, and then two whites.
Liszt will not be directly, when did Shilixiang become so famous and have such a good business?
Liszt didn't know that there were a lot of people coming to Los Angeles in the past two days, which is normal for Los Angeles, after all, the City of Angels, but the timing of their arrival is abnormal, at least for the police.
