Chapter 412: I Want to Be Your Assistant Director!
Unlike Anderson, the Hollywood boss Xiaohuadan signed a film company with Warner Films, but her target is not just actors.
Now McKenna is not just an actress, she has become a producer in the company at a young age, and has been committed to directing her homework.
She has a clear plan for her life and knows what to do right now.
As the meal ended, the atmosphere in the restaurant became more ambiguous, and some men and women who came in to dine looked at each other with affectionate eyes, and the feelings between the two sides continued to heat up.
However, the atmosphere at this table was very different, and even a little cold and awkward.
"Tell me, what's the matter with coming to me all of a sudden?" Shen Feng wiped the corners of his mouth with a dining cloth, and his tone of voice was very flat.
"Do you know what my purpose in life is?" McKenna was the first to ask.
Shen Feng was stunned, and was shaken by the speed of the conversion of this topic.
"Uh... Good to come to the dock queen? The Oscar? Shen Feng replied casually.
He wasn't very interested in McKenna's life dreams or anything, but since he was mixed up in Hollywood, there were just a few dreams, who wouldn't want to be an actor or actress?
"No, no, no! I want to be a director and make a movie myself! McKenna shook her head like a rattle, and then she continued: "I've been preparing for this for a long time, and every time I act, I spend a long time watching the crew! ”
Hearing McKenna say this, Shen Feng nodded and asked, "Then how can I help you?" I'll teach you how to film? ”
To be honest, Shen Feng didn't think that she would be a good teacher if she taught, and she should go to a more professional university for further study.
McKenna wouldn't mind introducing her to Professor Jon if she needed it, and the film titan wouldn't have turned down such a small request.
"When will your next movie start, I want to be your assistant director!" McKenna's little face turned red, and she said very seriously.
Shen Feng didn't expect McKenna to actually fight this idea, he looked at the other party's sincere eyes, and he couldn't bear to refuse for a while.
From "Kung Fu" to "Titanic", Shen Feng did not hire an assistant director to make movies, but directed the film by himself.
The duties of the assistant director are not so important, and they are basically to assist the director, such as assisting the director in checking the preparation of the crew and directing the group performance during filming.
To put it bluntly, a lot of things are chores, and there are not many parts that really involve the movie itself.
Shen Feng thought about it, there was really no need to reject recruiting a temporary assistant director, so he simply agreed to her.
"Okay, I agreed!" Shen Feng agreed.
As soon as these words came out, McKenna immediately sat up straight, a thick look of excitement welled up from the bottom of her eyes, and her hands holding the knife and fork were clenched tightly!
"Great!" McKenna whispered excitedly, and it could be seen that she was really happy, if it weren't for a public place, Shen Feng felt like she would even shout loudly.
"Don't worry, I still want to ask you a few questions, as far as I know, there are many well-known directors of Warner Films, many of whom have won Oscars, why did you find me?" Shen Feng asked cautiously.
"The reason is very simple, the company has specially signed assistant directors, and those well-known directors have their own crews, how could they be willing to ask me to be an assistant director!"
McKenna shrugged helplessly, and continued, "In contrast, they prefer to find people who are experienced and know the roots!" ”
"And you're different! I've read your last two film crew acknowledgment sheets, and I didn't ask for an assistant director, and I think I'll be up to the task! ”
After listening to McKenna's words, Shen Feng laughed.
Suddenly, he remembered that when he first entered the industry in China, he also started as a screenwriter first, and gave a helping hand to Director Wang and Director Qian in the crew.
McKenna's idea is also very mature, and it will be much easier for her to become a real director in the future.
In the face of such a positive and enthusiastic girl, Shen Feng felt that it was right to agree to the other party, not to mention that he really owed the other party a small favor, and he just paid it back.
"The timing of my next movie is uncertain, but the script is already in the works, and I promise you that I will call you when filming starts, and I hope you will have time then!" Shen Feng said seriously.
"No problem, I'll definitely set aside a schedule!" McKenna's eyes were full of light, it was perseverance and longing for dreams!
The meal could be said to be very pleasant, and the two of them dressed up in disguise and walked along the riverside.
It's night, but you can still see boats passing by the river, and the night view of Manhattan across the river is even more fascinating.
I have to say that New York, a metropolis, is the most prosperous city in the world.
Shen Feng and McKenna walked side by side, the Brooklyn Bridge was left behind them, the cold evening breeze mixed with snow blew through, and the two of them tightened the scarves around their necks at the same time.
"Tell me, why do you want to be a director?" Shen Feng put his hands in his pockets and asked softly.
For most people, being a well-known actor at Hollywood is already satisfying, and Shen Feng is a little curious about why McKenna wants to become a director.
Without thinking, McKenna said, "Because... There is a story I want to shoot, and I want to shoot my inner world in person and show it to everyone! ”
For a good reason, people always have to have some pursuits.
The two continued to walk, and in front of the riverside road, a luxurious yellow sports car was quietly parked in the snowy night.
Anderson was sitting bored, leaning out of the window with a cigarette in one hand, shaking the ashes from time to time.
"That's all for tonight, my friend is coming to pick me up." After Shen Feng finished speaking, he walked to the sports car in front of him.
McKenna looked at Shen Feng's back in amazement, opened her mouth, and didn't say a word of goodbye.
Yourself was left behind like this? She was messy in the cold wind.
This was the first time she had been treated in the cold since she grew up, and for a while she began to doubt her charm.
"Are all men in the East like this? It can't be described as a gentleman! ”
After a long time, McKenna put down such a sentence, gritted her silver teeth and left silently.
...
In the car, Anderson, who was sitting in the driver's seat, stroked his sunglasses and grinned:
"You actually have a leg with that little girl! I didn't expect it, hello this bite? ”
Shen Feng in the passenger seat yawned, not wanting to deal with Anderson, his eyes looked out the window calmly, and he didn't explain anything.
Seeing this, Anderson was not bored with himself, and closed his mouth very knowingly.
At this time, Shen Feng was thinking about the pros and cons of McKenna being an assistant director for himself, since he stepped into the film and television industry, he really has never hired an assistant director.
But with an assistant director, many things will be a lot more convenient, that's a fact.
And McKenna, as a native of Hollywood, must be very familiar with the environment here, and whether it is hiring actors or others, etc., she can be regarded as an acquaintance.
In addition, she is a person from Warner Film and Television, so she can somewhat rub the convenience of this large company.
As for the disadvantages... Maybe when it's time to shoot, McKenna may put forward her own opinions to interfere with her judgment, which must be communicated to her in advance, and everything is up to you when shooting!
...
A few days after the dinner with McKenna, the latest issue of Time was officially released.
On the cover, there is a photo of Shen Feng smiling and spreading his hands, and the background of the photo is composed of a piano, a video camera, a microphone and a half-wrecked ship.
Time magazine is aimed at the world, and with the release of the latest issue of the weekly, the world has a deeper understanding of Shen Feng.
This is the first time in Shen Feng's life to accept this kind of magazine interview, in the article, the description of Shen Feng is very thorough, and it is full of praise!
"Oh! Look at my dear, isn't this the same Oriental we met at the riverside restaurant the other day, when McKenna was sitting across from him! ”
"It seems that it is true, he is Shen Feng? I really didn't recognize it! ”
"Now that I think about it, I can't think of any other Oriental who could sit and eat with McKenna but him."
There are not a few conversations like this, but anyone who pays some attention to Shen Feng knows about Shen Feng's official appearance on the cover of Time magazine.
"This report about Shen Feng is really too detailed, I didn't expect Shen Feng to be so funny and humorous in ordinary life!"
"Hahahaha, oh my God, is this true, Shen Feng has had such an experience on the Ocean Aurora!"
"It's hard to imagine what it's like to be looked down upon by others, this noble lady from Europe is afraid that her intestines will regret it!"
"It was also this opportunity that made Shen Feng get acquainted with Lans Carmel, and fate is so wonderful!"
"Even part of the inspiration for "Titanic", Shen Feng also found it from this, no wonder he portrayed those nobles so realistically in the movie, the kind of meanness is simply not to be said!"
Time magazine can achieve such a huge scale, naturally it has its own doorway, and the excavation of Shen Feng in it is very detailed.
Especially some of the experiences that Shen Feng is not known to the world, which surprised his fans!
Even Shen Feng felt smacked his tongue, he obviously did not disclose the details of the Aurora of the Ocean in the interview, and the description in Time magazine was very comprehensive, as if he had read his autobiography.
"It seems that you have to be more careful in doing things in the future, the ability of these people to dig up historical news is really not to say, even this kind of thing can be known!"
Shen Feng sighed from the bottom of his heart, saying that there is no privacy at all!
...
A mansion building near Center Park in Manhattan, New York.
McKenna, who had dinner with Shen Feng a few days ago, was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a copy of "Time" just released today.
She looked interested and flipped through the report about Shen Feng.
"This guy's experience is really rich, even the last cruise vacation can encounter so many things, no wonder he can make a movie like "Titanic"!"
McKenna was on her lips, her tone was full of complaints, and it seemed that she was still blaming Shen Feng for leaving her in the car a few days ago.
The whole report was very long, and McKenna read it patiently.
"Although the report is very detailed, the evaluation is not comprehensive enough, and the words "straight man", "rigid", and impersonal should be added, and "Time" magazine is now picking out the best words!" McKenna said with some dissatisfaction.
After reading the content about Shen Feng, she threw the magazine on the sofa casually, swept away the complaints in her eyes, and looked out the window with anticipation.
Soon she will be able to serve as an assistant director, and she will also work for a director like Shen Feng.
"I just don't know what the genre of this guy's next work will be, and whether it can reach the height of "Titanic"?"
Everything is still unknown, but it is worth looking forward to because of the unknown!
McKenna took a deep breath and calmed her emotions a little.
In winter, the scenery of Central Park is completely different from that of other seasons, and the park that used to be green has been completely transformed into a snow-white world.
The leaves on the branches of the trees have withered, replaced by white snow, and when viewed from above, it looks like a fairytale world.
McKenna stared at the beautiful snowy landscape, not knowing what was going on in her mind.
...
Time magazine's spread is gradually becoming wider, and even some well-known figures are interested in the detailed reports about Shen Feng.
Paris, who happened to have free time at work, took over the freshly baked "Time" today.
Looking at the photo on the cover, Paris shook her head slightly and flipped through the contents.
Although she has only met Shen Feng once, through this report, she also understands better what kind of person Shen Feng is.
After a long time, Paris closed the magazine after reading the article.
"Genius? I'd like to see how far you can go this day, if you don't cater to the trend, you're doomed to be eliminated. ”
The words fell, and Paris, who was in good shape, returned to work.
Starting next year, Pamira Pictures will launch an IP building plan, which is also the general direction of the company.
After so many years in the market, they have accumulated a wealth of experience and know what types of movies today's fans like to watch.
If the ceiling of a movie like "Titanic" is extremely high, then to create a complete and independent cinematic universe, the works in it have a very high ceiling!
The lower limit is high and it means that you won't lose money, you have a unique audience, and each work is just a matter of earning more and making less.
Pamira Pictures has a big heart, and as long as this decision is successful, then what awaits them will be a long time of glory!
After all, it is capital, it is a commercial company, and all the purpose is to make a profit.
As for the artistry of the film and so on, they don't care, they only care about the box office!
