Chapter 148: Refusal
"It's a good idea to go to Los Angeles, Tom is going to Los Angeles on a mission, maybe I'll be able to find him in the past.
No, since it's a secret mission, the less people know about it, the better, if you venture to find it, it may put Tom in danger, and the FBI's mission is still less involved.
His arrival not only affected the plot of Twilight, but the plot of the Ranger also became completely unpresentable.
I don't know if it's the automatic change caused by the fusion of various movie worlds or if I gave it to me, it involves Tom's safety, so it's better not to be reckless, but I can tell John about my going to Los Angeles, I don't believe John really can't get in touch with Tom.
At that time, even if they meet Tom by chance, both of them have a plan in their hearts, if Tom is performing the kind of undercover mission in the movie, he will not show his feet. ”
Liszt pressed the ten fingers of his hands to his temples in a circle, inexplicably feeling very tired, did he think too much, Los Angeles is so big, if he didn't deliberately go to find Tom's trace, how could there be such a coincidence?
But what Huang Chamberlain said still has to go and see, someone would ask him to shoot something like a nobody, although he made a movie, but after all, it was not released.
In other words, it's almost time for the release.
I have to say that Liszt really doesn't care about these things, except for the initial publicity, the follow-up matters are all handed over to Huang Chamberlain, and he is only responsible for the final decision - signing.
There is no money left in hand, and it will take a few months for the box office of the movie to come out, which is why Liszt is willing to go to Los Angeles to see it (Shiro Yanagawa still has hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash in his safe, but Liszt can't take it out and use it, so he can't explain it)
At Los Angeles Airport, Liszt got off the plane and soon saw Huang Chamberlain holding a big sign from the crowd who picked him up.
"Lao Huang, what's the specific situation, why did you go to Los Angeles to pick me up?" Liszt did not have the habit of hugging men, avoided Lao Huang's outstretched arms, and then punched him in the chest with a fist, without force.
Huang Chamberlain doesn't mind, he doesn't like hugging himself, he doesn't mind if he replaces Liszt with a beauty, this is not thinking about following the local customs, thinking that Liszt is a Chinese who likes that set before coming to such a play.
took the backpack in Liszt's hand: "Hey, you can go out with such some luggage, it's really light enough." ”
"Light car Jiancong, what are you doing with so many things, you haven't answered my question yet, I don't remember that I asked you to be my agent."
"Don't, let's get in the car and talk about it, it's inconvenient to talk here."
"I can understand horror documentaries, but what is the situation without a script, isn't it a movie?" After getting in the car, Liszt knew what was going on from Huang Chamberlain's mouth, and he thought it was a horror movie of the type recorded by ghosts, but it didn't seem to be the case.
"I didn't expect it, do you remember the distribution company we signed with this time, it was a horror film director introduced by their boss, who wanted to make a real-life monster movie, but he didn't know about that kind of monster, so he wanted to find someone." Huang Chamberlain was a little embarrassed, how did this work look like a hand-out.
Liszt understood what was going on, and he thought that he had met Bole, who was discerning, and wanted to invest in him to make a movie, but the result was to help other directors make some materials.
"Okay, Lao Huang, it's none of your business, we want money or not, we want fame or fame, it's already good that someone is willing to spend money to ask me to shoot something." Seeing the self-reproach in Huang Chamberlain's eyes, Liszt patted him on the shoulder and comforted.
Liszt didn't feel insulted, he thought too much about himself, he didn't have any works, and he was not born in a professional class, how could he have the capital to be willing to spend money and invest.
That's normal, but I might as well have met Fox sooner at that time, knowing that he was going to Los Angeles and would have to be delayed for a while, Bella complained on the phone for a long time.
However, although Liszt had the heart to refuse, since he had found the door and was introduced by an "acquaintance", he couldn't see each other, so there was no benefit except for offending people plainly.
"Let's go, go meet the horror director."
"Go now? It's okay, I'll call each other first to ask about the other party's itinerary, these foreigners' genealogy is too big, don't want to meet people without an appointment. Huang Chamberlain was afraid that Liszt would think too much, so he first expressed his dissatisfaction with this.
Liszt naturally didn't feel neglected because of this, and he wouldn't blame Huang Bolun: "It's okay Lao Huang, the time of big people is always precious, let's ask first." ”
Although Huang Bolun's spoken English is still a little jerky, it is obvious that he has worked hard during this time, and he is much more fluent than the last time he saw him, and after hanging up the phone, he hurriedly said to the driver: "Go to Shengyang Film Company." ”
The driver is also a wonderful person, and when he heard the name of the place, he hurriedly shouted: "Woohoo, Shengyang Films, I know that company, their horror movies are very good, they can let me sleep well, I heard that there will be a new movie released again, it is really what the event is called "Killing", the name is simply too simple, but it will have to wait a few more months."
The funniest thing is that Sidney, the prototype of the killing heroine, actually died, and before she died, she also left a video recording her life with her boyfriend's new home, and Shengyang Company actually got the right to broadcast the video from the police and Sidney's father, damn capitalist, this kind of thing should be made public for free, I heard that Sidney is very beautiful......"
I can't listen to the next words, dirty ears, and the two people who "have ghosts" in their hearts simply chatted awkwardly, and resolutely did not participate in the topic of the driver.
No matter how capable the driver is, if the passengers do not cooperate, they will not be able to take it after all.
So when he was still thirty meters away from Shengyang Film Company, the driver finally stopped his mouth with an engine.
It took an hour from entry to exit, and it took 50 minutes to wait in the lobby alone, and the total meeting and conversation took less than 10 minutes.
Liszt is not used to the problems of these foreigners, and sits on the sofa in the hall and waits for an interview? It doesn't exist, and Liszt is not annoyed, he just turns around and looks around.
While looking at it, I thought about how to decorate my own film company in the future, and ran to the company's showroom, and found that there were a lot of movie posters and peripheral toys, and of course, awards were indispensable, but these movies were basically horror movies.
If the receptionist didn't come to call him, Liszt would probably have to go to the staff lounge.
It turned out that the director of the horror film who was looking for Liszt was the director of killing, Wes Craven, and almost all of Wes Craven's films over the years have been so routine, and they have fallen into a bottleneck in terms of technical and artistic expression.
"Killing", a movie of the same name based on real events, is a work he tried to break through, but after filming "Killing", he felt that it was not enough, and there were many places that were not rigorous.
Once Wes Craven saw a video of a monster hunter hunting a giant bug on the Internet, so he had the idea of making a monster horror movie, which was also provided by realistic material.
Monster movies like this, and monsters that are certain to exist in the real world, have high requirements for special effects, and prop preparation is a big project.
Wes is too old to find the strange insects on his own, otherwise in the context of horror films, an old man like him is basically delivering food, so it's like hiring a young photographer, preferably with documentary shooting experience.
Liszt was recommended to Wes when he told his old friend, who was also the producer of "The Killing" and the owner of Shengyang Films, who advocated the release of Liszt's "Ghost Shadows."
Liszt felt familiar when he heard Weiss's story, and when he saw the video that Weiss downloaded on the computer, he immediately recognized it, isn't this the "strange insect town" that Bella yelled at going to before?
Originally, I didn't plan to take this job, not to mention that if Bella knew that he went to Perfect Town, he might still see the big monster worm, but if he didn't take her there, tsk, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future.
Weiss didn't expect that his old friend introduced him to a yellow-skinned young Chinese director, and he hadn't even heard of the name, so his attitude towards Liszt and Chamberlain was much colder.
In the end, it may be that he couldn't wipe the face of his old friend, so he opened a price of 50,000 dollars and provided shooting equipment, which was rejected by Liszt.
Liszt didn't take it seriously, and as for the Wess director, he also didn't take a newcomer like Liszt seriously, maybe a little person like Liszt, he wouldn't even remember his name for more than half a day. Take a look at the latest chapters of "The Punishment System of the Film and Television World", read it for free for the first time.
