In fact, in Yi Feiyang's view, among Donnie, Cage, and Depp, Depp and Donnie are the most similar. As actors, the characters they play are bohemian on the outside, but they are always very charming, because they have the temperament of a loser, tolerant and compassionate in their eyes and subtle expressions.

This kind of tolerance and compassion is the necessary temperament of "chivalry" and heroism.

Just like the Chinese speak, the heavens will descend on the Si people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skins. Only those who have really fallen to the bottom and felt great pain can understand the pain of others and have a broad mind to tolerate others.

Like Shakyamuni, Jesus went through the hardships of life as an ascetic, whether it was Johnny Depp or Robert Downey Jr., they all fell to the bottom in their lives and were spurned by the world.

Johnny Depp, was the co-owner of "Viper Nightclub". At that time, he was like a pit viper, unruly, hot and dangerous. From the age of 12, he began to smoke, then took drugs and alcohol; slept with a woman at the age of 13; When he was 15 years old, he suffered the blow of his parents' divorce; When he was in school, he was suspended from school for showing his ass to a teacher......

And after Depp entered Hollywood because of his handsome face, he still went his own way, and his private life was always inseparable from beautiful women, alcohol and drugs, and he once shouted to the passengers around him abnormally on a plane: "I have sex with animals!" "Reduced to the laughing stock of people.

In the same way, Robert Downey Jr. also has endless film talent, Robert Downey Jr., who was born in a film and television family, defeated many competitors such as Dustin Hoffman at the age of 27. Got the role of "Chaplin". His interpretation of Chaplin was quite successful. and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor for this.

But Robert Downey Jr. also experienced a well-known period of profligacy, and during the period of gambling addiction, his life seemed to be very "regular", following the trajectory of acting, drug use, imprisonment, release, and acting again. He was "kidnapped" by a friend and taken to a drug rehabilitation center, once rushed into a stranger's house unconscious, and was beaten by his cellmates again and again...... With three prison sentences for drug problems, the talented actor's film career has almost hit rock bottom.

But it is these painful trials that give these two handsome actors a inner charm that other actors don't have. After that, their prodigal sons turned back, no matter how superficially amorous and debauched they played, but their eyes exuded the gentleness and calmness of everyone all the time, and this gentleness and calm was the manifestation of the so-called "loser temperament".

Both of them have reached the peak of their film careers after their transformation, becoming real global superstars, and the absurd and naïve story of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has taken the film to another level under the charm of Johnny Depp. Robert Downey Jr. did the same in the original Iron Man.

Now such an excellent actor is under Yi Feiyang's command, but Yi Feiyang is not satisfied. is not satisfied with his ambition to encompass the world's elites. So this time he took aim at Cage, the villain of this play, again.

The reason why Yi Feiyang constantly trains Donnie is to arouse Cage's jealousy and arouse his desire to join Dream Entertainment. Obviously, this trick worked, because Cage looked at him differently.

For Yi Feiyang, everything is under control!

……

After the filming of this finale scene, everyone was too tired to do anything. Even some old actors who are used to the scene can't stand it, because Yi Feiyang's requirements are too strict, and he will NG at every turn. It's no wonder that it's not easy to fly, countless action movies are just smashed on the production of not being serious enough and not careful enough, and he definitely doesn't want to make such a mistake again.

But now, that's all in the past.

After nearly two months of arduous filming, from the western desert to Las Vegas, Chicago, Los Angeles, and many places, the filming of this drama was finally completed, and who knows the hard work and sweat involved.

Of course, there is a finale banquet, and Yi Feiyang is not the kind of person who talks in the vernacular. However, Yi Feiyang still had something to do, including writing the script for "Kung Fu Panda", so he ate and drank hastily, then said hello to the crew members, and immediately rushed back to the company.

As soon as he returned to the company, before his ass was hot, Dures, who was the vice president of Dream Entertainment, knocked on the door and came in.

Seeing Dures with a smile on his face, it was rare that this meticulous cold-faced president would be so festive, and Yi Feiyang guessed that there must be something very happy.

Sure enough, after seeing Yi Feiyang, Dures immediately told him with a happy smile: "Three news, two good and one bad!" Which do you want to listen to? ”

"Whatever, I'm almost exhausted." Yi Feiyang pushed Dures away indifferently, and sat down in the leather chair again. The director really doesn't do it, especially the original, which can save people many years of life.

Even if you operate on the spot, it's just a technical job, but it's definitely a headache for the structure and organization of the whole film, just like writing, you have to imagine the changes in the scene when creating, and you have to combine and organize the picture to achieve the best effect. The author only needs to control the text, but the director needs to control everything, which is even more difficult.

At first, the movies directed by Yi Feiyang, such as "Spartan 300 Warriors", "Chainsaw", "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", etc., were basically low- and medium-cost works, and the scenes were not too big, mainly relying on the storyline and character performance to win. And the storytelling images of those movies themselves exist in his mind. At that time, his main task was to reassemble the images in his mind.

However, because the current shooting is a big production, not only is the shooting location constantly changing, but the storyline and structure have also been adapted by himself, so he needs to rely completely on himself to construct it. All day long in his head, how to shoot the next scene, how to shoot to have the best effect, countless comparisons made him go crazy. Now he admires those prolific and high-quality directors in his previous life more than anyone else, because only he knows how awesome a character like Lu Dao is.

"The good news is that Nicolas Cage, whom you have always held in high esteem, has surrendered. Officially agreed to sign a contract with our company. Join Dream Entertainment! Another piece of good news. Three of the company's films were shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival! Dures didn't feel as tired as Yi Feiyang at all, but completely ignored the mood of our client, and talked endlessly.

Cage joined Dream Entertainment, which Yi Feiyang had long expected, after all, this was the result of his hard work, and when filming "Iron Man", he used his acting skills to tempt Cage and his guy, and it was obvious that this temptation was successful.

Nicolas Cage after filming "Iron Man". Every time he recalls the bits and pieces of the filming process, especially Yi Feiyang's acting guidance to Donnie, Gyllen Hill and others, he is happy and convinced, and he can't wait to get Yi Feiyang's personal guidance, and from time to time he opens a small stove for himself during filming.

In addition, Cage's best friend and friend Johnny Depp has joined Fantasy Entertainment first, and with the drama "Pirates of the Caribbean", he suddenly became popular, and it is so popular that sometimes Cage even has a feeling that his popularity is not as good as Depp.

You must know that Cage's fame and popularity were much higher than Depp's. Depp also entered Hollywood with Cage, and was surpassed by such a "junior". Deep down, Cage was actually unconvinced.

And the driving force behind these miracles is Yi Feiyang, Magic Young, Hollywood magicians!

Cage's admiration for Yi Feiyang has almost reached the point of throwing himself into the ground, so he finally decided to join Dream Entertainment and board this entertainment spaceship to help him soar into the sky.

If Cage joined Dream and did not make Yi Feiyang feel much surprise, then being shortlisted for Cannes is definitely good news!

At this moment, Yi Feiyang can't wait to laugh, the reason why he gave up the Berlin Film Festival in February is because the Berlin Film Festival itself is very political. The more politically relevant the film, the more hope it can get.

Yi Feiyang, who was so energetic that he could fight with the famous emperors in history, almost jumped up and asked: "Which three films are they?" What kind of competition are you participating in? ”

"Tim Burton's 'The Zombie Bride' was shortlisted for Critics' Week, while Mel Gibson's religious film 'The Passion of the Christ' was shortlisted for Directors' Fortnight." Dures smiled and glanced at Yi Feiyang, who looked leisurely: "In addition, there is another film that directly enters the competition unit and competes for the Palme d'Or, do you want to know which drama is shortlisted?" ”

Yi Feiyang smiled, how could he not desire such a thing, but he had always been patient, and since Dures wanted to hang his appetite, he might not be able to help it. Dures glanced at Yi Feiyang helplessly, he really convinced Yi Feiyang's patience: "It's the documentary "Fahrenheit 911" you concocted!" Congratulations to you Yi, as a producer, you have created another miracle! ”

Hearing this good news, Yi Feiyang closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath.

Fahrenheit 911? In the previous life, this documentary seems to have really killed all sides in terms of awards. In fact, in the previous life, this "Fahrenheit 911" won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. As a documentary, this drama cannot be recognized by the audience with sensational stories and magnificent music like Hollywood blockbusters, but can only speak with facts and move everyone with truth. Seeing the people suffering in 911, and the civilians who were killed on the battlefields of Iraq, you may forget the political stance of the photographer and feel a sincere and convincing force. So this documentary conquered the judges and the audience.

But for Yi Feiyang, he originally pinned great hopes on "Fahrenheit 911", so he also gave director Michael Moore a lot of filming time, but now, Michael actually completed the filming of this drama in just half a year, which made Yi Feiyang a little worried, worried that slow work will produce fine work, so what about fast work, will the work be rougher? Worried about competing for the Palme d'Or at Cannes this time, will it be a waterloo?!

Yi Feiyang is worried!

I'm looking forward to it too!

……

But in any case, Cannes is the largest film festival in the world, and being able to participate in the official competition is already a guarantee of strength. Thinking of this, Yi Feiyang Ha Da Lu couldn't stop laughing: "Don't congratulate me, congratulate us!" ”

Dures was stunned, and immediately understood what Yi Feiyang meant. This is a great opportunity for every Cannes film to be officially contested by studios from all over the world. This is a great opportunity to make a name for the company.

Come to think of this. He couldn't help but laugh. Before, he thought that Yi Feiyang was trying to prove himself. Or send it to compete for the sake of winning honor. But now, he thought he understood what Yi Feiyang meant.

"What's the bad news? Tell me about it! Yi Feiyang took advantage of his happiness and asked.

"The bad news is ...... The publicity of Columbia's "Spider-Man" has reached a fever pitch, and we can't compare to it! Dures sighed and said, "30 million dollars of publicity, Colombia has made a lot of money this time, if we spend money like them." In the end, it will only hurt both sides, and they may not be able to win the other party, after all, they have seized the opportunity and won at the starting line......"

Dures meant that Yi Feiyang fully understood and understood it completely. Especially Colombia is bound to be ashamed this time, trampling Yi Feiyang's "Iron Man" under its feet, last time it was careless, and was defeated by Dream Entertainment once, this time to prove that Colombia is both strong. is still the quality of the movie, compared with fantasy entertainment, it is the first!

"yes. It's a headache! Yi Feiyang pinched his brows, "Their propaganda methods are really ruthless, I believe that even if we really have to draw a scoop from the gourd, we will lose to each other!" ”

Seeing that Yi Feiyang, who had always been full of confidence, also began to have a headache, Dures knew the seriousness of the matter. You must know that no matter how difficult and difficult things were in the past, Yi Feiyang would deal with them lightly, but this time, it was obvious that he didn't have any good ideas.

"Perhaps, we can use the ...... of the Cannes Film Festival this time," Dures thought for a moment, and suddenly made such a suggestion.

"Using Cannes?" Yi Feiyang's eyes lit up, and then he stared at Dures, "This can't be something you thought of by chance, let's talk about it, did you have some plans for a long time?" ”

"Of course," Dures smiled embarrassedly, in fact, since being invaded by Colombia's overwhelming propaganda strategy, Dures has been racking his brains to help Yi Feiyang think of countermeasures, after all, Yi Feiyang's blockbuster is the first work that established his super director, and there is no room for error.

As the second leader of Dream Entertainment, Dures not only has a deep affection for the company, but also has a deep friendship with Yi Feiyang.

Perhaps in Dures's eyes, Yi Feiyang is more like his friend than his boss.

"My plan was simple, we could use the side market in Cannes to raise the profile of our play. Colombia spent $30 million in the United States to advertise in Hollywood, and we could spend $3 million to advertise at the Cannes Film Festival! They are facing the American people, but we are facing an audience from all over the world! ”

Wake up the dreamer with a word!

yes, I didn't think of that! Yi Feiyang couldn't help but applaud. At this time, many directors from many countries will show new films and sell their rights, and Cannes is even more famous for its off-site film deals, which are more attractive than the film awards in Cannes itself.

"That's a great idea!" Yi Feiyang stood up and praised, "We can also use our own media to publicize this matter, yes, then we can let the whole world know about the drama "Iron Man"!" Looking at the world outside the floor-to-ceiling window, I swore an oath.

Dures was also very happy, after all, his suggestion was adopted, "so why don't you call Mr. Wales, the owner of "Entertainment Xintiandi" now......"

"No need."

"For what?"

"Because he's already here!" Yi Feiyang pointed out the window.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, on the street, a black sedan was parked under the tall building of the Dream Entertainment Company, and a short and fat white man was getting out of the car like a mole.

……

If you are familiar with the American entertainment industry, if you know the American media very well, then you must also know this short and fat white man, he is the boss of "Entertainment Xintiandi" Wales.

Wales, forty-four, stocky and Scottish, has a well-matched nickname called "The Mole" as a newcomer to the American press. The nickname perfectly describes not only his stature, but also his attitude towards the newspaper industry, which he burrows like a mole in order to get first-hand information.

Yes, he is the mole, he is the mole Wales!

Someone once said that the trick to success in Wales is to be shameless, in order to make his own "Entertainment Xintiandi" recognized in Hollywood, in order to stand out in hundreds of newspapers and magazines, Wales made a decision that surprised everyone, that is, through FOX TV, to move closer to Dream Entertainment, a new film company.

At that time, many of his peers were not optimistic about him, thinking that it was a decision to be blinded by shit.

Just imagine, who would choose such a small and unremarkable film company to show loyalty?!

Even if you have to choose, pick companies like Fox, Paramount, Columbia, and even Lionsgate and New Line...... But soon, Dream Entertainment defeated Columbia, took control of the new line, surpassed Lionsgate, and became the most promising and incredible new giant at the moment!

It's all legendary! It's hard to believe that it's legendary! The legend made those colleagues who originally laughed at Wales hang their heads, and they were annoyed that they didn't have such a vision in the first place?!

At that moment, "Mole" Wales finally raised his eyebrows! (To be continued......)
