Chapter 1314: Determining the Director
Director Joe Camp is not famous, and his appearance is not handsome, he is tall and thin, and he can't match the strong.
After a flash in the pan in the seventies and eighties, there were no good works for nearly ten years, and independent films were made one after another, but unfortunately the response was not good.
There are a lot of directors like him in Hollywood, and there are only a handful of people who can go from directors to company bosses like Steven Spielberg and make their careers prosperous.
If you look at how many graduates come out of the USC School of Cinematic Arts every year, and then look at how many people mix into the director position, you will understand that the competition in this industry is also quite fierce, and countless people enter the directing industry with the dream of becoming famous, hoping to live a life of "stars let me sleep and money comes in", but many people can't see the beginning of the big screen in the movie theater with their names written on it all their lives.
Many people are unsuccessful, not because they don't have the ability, but because they don't have the opportunity, and a rich director like Joe Camp is already the envy of countless people.
He heard Han Xuan greet him at this moment, and walked over and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Han."
Mr. Brando, it's a pleasure to meet you here, I was also at the Huaxia Theater when "The Godfather" won the award, and the way to humiliate the jury with Indians was too powerful, but it's a pity that you should go on to play the second part, and I was disappointed when I heard the news. ”
When he was happy with Han Xuan, he changed his face to a stinky face when he saw Kemp, looking as if someone owed him money.
No matter how hot his temper is, he will not reach out to hit the smiling man, and when he found Joe Camp complimenting himself, the old man said arrogantly: "At that time, our government did not care about the human rights of the indigenous Indians, so I refused to accept the award, and specially arranged for an Indian girl to come to the stage, and she would call me every year before the Oscars to talk about the events of the year."
"The Godfather" is enough, with me, Al Pacino can't let go, and his performance in the future is obviously much better than the first one......"
If it was the old man from the previous two years, if he said this, maybe Han Xuan would think he was very handsome, but now Marlon Brando is just a fat old man who has changed a lot, and when he came in before, the doorman almost didn't recognize him.
Seeing this arrogant appearance, Han Xuan just wanted to laugh, and felt in his heart that he was right, without this old man participating, Al Pacino's performance was indeed much better, just like the stars and the moon competing for glory, no matter how good an actor is, he will be led by Brando, with this old man, the old man is the focus.
There are two kinds of American actors, those who have an Oscar and those who don't, not that they can't do it, but there are also elements of luck and public relations.
Winning the Oscar for Best Actor, the salary will rise by about $3 million, and the female star will rise by about $500,000, and with it, there will be huge fame.
An insider once said that if you want to win the best film award, you have to spend at least 10 million US dollars on public relations, and Dimen Film Company has not yet won this kind of honor.
This year's "Titanic" is very likely to win the Best Film Award, and Twentieth Century Fox will definitely not miss the opportunity to squeeze the remaining value of the film.
Guo Muzhou is just investing, this movie has nothing to do with him, Dimen Film Company has no background, and there is no film to impact it, my grandfather will never forget the Oscar statuette, Han Xuan thinks it doesn't matter, you can make money.
Since its release in June, the weekly box office of "Titanic" has remained at 20 or 30 million US dollars, and the staying power is simply unheavenly......
Without entering the house, he was outside to discuss the "Cats" movie, with a flat green grass under his feet, a small square table made of vines on it, and three chairs next to him, Han Xuan, Brando, and Camp sat down respectively.
It stands to reason that Marlon Brando should leave when the host has a guest, but he has no consciousness of being a guest at all, and unceremoniously said to Director Camp: ""Jungle Pure Heart"? I haven't heard of this movie and haven't seen you in Hollywood.
Han, are you sure you want him to be the director?
This is your first time starring, and if the first part fails, you will have to put in more effort in the future...... But I don't think you care, do you? ”
Seeing Kemp's embarrassing appearance, Han Xuan finally knew where the old man's notoriety came from, this guy can offend people to death, as long as he is comfortable, he doesn't care what others think.
Director Camp can't answer this kind of thing, he has a very good personality, for the sake of his idol's face, he just can't bear it when he opens his mouth.
Han Xuan said: "I will help, if you want to do it, you will do it well."
Most of the time it was Fat Ding, and I didn't have much time to appear, about 20% of the whole movie.
I've seen Mr. Camp's films, the plot is a weakness, but it's very good at shooting animals, and I'll ask the director of my grandfather's company to help, it's just a comedy, and there are no too high technical requirements. ”
Brando stretched out his hand and touched Pallas Cat, who was lying on Han Xuan's lap like a kitten, and continued: "Okay, this is your movie, and you're ready, come on."
I took this guy for a walk, and my friend asked me to smoke a cigar, and that guy had oral cancer and was going to smoke, and sooner or later he would die in front of me.
It's really troublesome, I have few friends, and there will be no one to help me write a eulogy when the time comes, so I have to hurry up......"
Han Xuan couldn't laugh or cry about this, this old man actually wanted to die before his friends because of this little thing.
"Dawson, help me drive him there.
Butler Adolf, go get a box of my grandfather's best cigars, and don't forget when you have time, come and teach me how to act. ”
Brando was about to wave his hand and say no need to give it, but when he heard the cigar, he put his hand down again, and quickly said to Adolphus butler, "I want the Gurkha Black Dragon, the kind for more than a thousand dollars." ”
"It's gone." Adolf housekeeper was still annoyed that his goddess might have been arched by this pig on the bed, and his professionalism was greater than his personal emotions after all, and he added: "I'll look for ......"
Clearly finding that the old butler was not in the right mood, Brando wondered and asked, "What's wrong with this old man?" ”
"I don't know, it was fine just now......"
Pallas the cat was reluctant to go, so angry that Brando wanted to flatten it, and agreed to come back when he was free, and he got into Dawson's Bentley and walked away.
After talking to director Joe Camp for a while, he is not yet a big name to the point of asking for non-points, not to mention that the remuneration is enough to satisfy Camp, and he tried to ask for a share of the box office, but after being refused, he immediately treated it as if he hadn't said it, and the matter was settled.
The filming venue, crew, and supporting actors are not yet in place, the starring roles are Fat Ding and Han Xuan, and the director is also available, and when they learned that there was an interview this morning, they decided to go to Dimen Film Company to have a look......
Residents of Los Angeles have recently become accustomed to the new changes in the city center, mainly due to the Stark Tower, which has not built a tall building for a long time, and suddenly there is a towering building, which always feels strange.
Burbank was still the same, and when he looked down from the helicopter, he could see the sign above the ABC headquarters.
It has an invisible influence, and since taking control of this TV station, the external harassment of the SOS Group has suddenly become much smaller.
Han Xuan knows that the economy has recovered over the years, and gold is everywhere, and after the annexed small enterprises and markets are digested by those predators, someone will definitely hit their own family with their ideas.
It is because he feels the pressure that he is ready to go public with the blueberry company that has been spun off, and the old man will also list the supermarket and throw out the meat for the wolves to bite.
People's hearts will never be satisfied, they have a piece of meat, they will ask for a second piece, and the storm will come, and the time may be years, or it may be more than ten years.
From every time he mentions himself in the newspaper, he says that he is the richest man in the world as a "Chinese", and Han Xuan can see that in fact, his family is still not fully integrated into the country.
Independent individuals are not afraid, and they are most afraid of strong forces forming groups, so now they need to continue to grow until no one dares to fight their own family's ideas.
In fact, the quick integration method, marrying a certain American bigwig, and now Han Xuan's family is all Chinese, Buffett has said such ideas more than once, but he has rejected them.
Don't worry about these issues for the time being.
The two helicopters stopped on the roof of ABC TV one after another, and without informing the manager, they went directly to Dimen Pictures across the road, and the Disney headquarters was not far away, so that Han Xuan couldn't help but want to take a bite.
However, Disney, like other established companies, is too scattered to be sure that he will be able to gain control, and he will be swallowed up if he is not careful.
Disney is thinking about Pixar Animation Studios and Marvel Comics, and it's not a day or two, and Han Xuan doesn't have that much cash at his disposal for the time being.
After thinking about it, I finally planned to cut the meat with a blunt knife and slowly buy the shares of Disney, and there will always be a day when I will eat it......
Guo Muzhou has been very busy in the past two days.
Now Dimen Film Company is shooting several movies at the same time, and it also has to produce "Two and a Half Heroes" and "Desperate Housewives", and there is no problem in terms of funding, but Industrial Light & Magic Special Effects Company suddenly has trouble.
Han Xuan is one of the major shareholders of the industrial light and magic special effects company, but due to the lack of manpower, the special effects of "X-Men" cannot be completed on time, and he can't help.
Now that the special effects company is still in charge of George Lucas, he is not unwilling to do special effects for "X-Men", but he is going to be late, and he is in a hurry to die of the old man who wants to release it in the Christmas file.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Guo Muzhou was on the phone at the moment, and when he saw that it was his grandson, he motioned to Han Xuanxian to wait, and then continued to talk with the other party, as if he was talking about occupying the street for filming, and he could hear the name of the mayor of New York.
Han Xuan walked over and saw a copy of the North American box office statistics of "Blade" on the table, there was nothing to worry about, he picked it up casually and saw a long list of numbers in red: 193,600,000......
