Superstar

Gianni looked at the silent colleagues sitting around the conference table and sighed softly. When I mentioned that I wanted to revise the ending, everyone seemed very excited. With a word and a word, the matter was settled almost in the process of the meeting. Everyone was discussing what kind of ending can make the film get. Better box office. But now...

Phyllis-Carlyle (. Carlyle) looked around at the silent people, and said nonchalantly, "Why should we care? We are the producers. Even if we want to start a discussion, we should ask Andrew’s opinion. Hugo just An actor, he is not qualified to criticize our work."

Phyllis is an independent filmmaker. Before that, he had only produced "The Accidental Traveler (the..., but he has a lot of connections in the independent film circle. This time he served as the "Seven Sins" system. The filmmaker, Xinxian Film Company, also took a fancy to his understanding of independent films.

"He is not qualified? No one in our room combined is qualified to him alone!" Lynn Harris (lynn.) sneered at what Phyllis said. He is a set assistant, a production background, and a filmmaker. He has a deep understanding of the process. "Seven Deadly Sins" is his first work as a producer. He serves as an executive in the producer team. He is usually responsible for contacting Gianni on behalf of other producers and the resident crew. .

"If he interferes with our work with the qualifications of an actor, he is playing a big name!" Phyllis is an independent filmmaker, his personality is very hot, and rebellious, he is most uncomfortable with this kind of big name behavior .

Lynn was also irritated, and stood up while patted the table, "He is qualified to play big cards. Even if he does, we have to shut up!"

Phyllis' eyes burst into anger, and he stood up, clenched his right fist, "Why, when did this crew have his surname Lancaster? Why didn't I receive notice! He was an actor playing there. The big name, is it reasonable? Even Tom Cruise and Arnold Schwarzenegger dare not be so sure!"

"Then he has the ability to replace us all!" Lin En said angrily. It is really too troublesome to communicate with this kind of clumsy brain.

"He dare!" Phyllis slammed a punch directly at the table, shocking everyone else.

"Of course he dares." Sitting in the position, Anne Copelson (anne.) said indifferently. She also came out of the independent film circle. The "seven deadly sins" were produced by her as a producer. The second work, the debut is the "outbreak" starring Dustin Hoffman, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Spacey.

Annie’s feminine voice relieved the tension of the sword. Everyone looked back at her. “After Spielberg learned the news yesterday, he said today that he has two projects he wants to find Hugo. Cooperation, the "Men in Black" project with an investment of nearly 100 million yuan is still waiting for Hugo’s reply; Ron Meyer of Universal Pictures called Rick Rosen last night, saying that as long as Hugo is willing, Universal The scripts currently being prepared are all selected by Hugo."

Although Annie didn’t rush or slow down, the content was staggering. Even the aggressive Phyllis couldn’t help but calm down. “Hugo now has such capital. He is playing a big name in our crew, and other crews. We are all willing to bow and welcome him to join. In the end, it is only our crew who loses face. What's more, we all know whether he is playing a big name or not." Big-name actors participate in the work of the crew. This is the potential of Hollywood. One of the rules, especially the actors who participate in the box office dividends, in fact, even if they are a member of the production crew, because they also need to bear the risk for the success or failure of the film, the greater the card, the higher the pay, the more so.

Sitting next to Annie is her husband, Arnold Coppelson (.). The two husbands and wives are responsible for communicating with the film company and the other for communicating with the crew. They work together very well. They are among the large group of producers on the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew. The most well-connected and well-informed member.

Arnold took over from his wife and said, "I received five phone calls asking about this matter last night and this morning, Paul Newman, Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, and Mark Canton. And Gregorian Parker."

Arnold’s words were very simple, but they completely silenced Phyllis. Which of these five names is not the character who is now calling for the wind and rain, especially the last Gregorian Parker, the respected old actor is already very I don't care about the affairs of the circle, but no one can ignore his huge network of contacts in the circle. This is also true of Paul Newman.

A Hugo actually affected such a huge momentum, which is really eye-catching. Indeed, as Lynn said, Hugo is qualified to play big cards, and their mobs add up to nothing.

"Then... Then we just confessed?" Phyllis was still a little unwilling, but his voice had slowed down a lot, more like a grumbling, "Didn't we discuss it well before, and the ending must be revised, otherwise The audience is not willing to pay for such a story. Even if they walk into the movie theater and feel too heavy after they come out, they will definitely not be willing to walk into the movie theater again."

The box office of a movie never depends on how many viewers go into the cinema, but depends on how many viewers are willing to go into the cinema again. Second, third, or even dozens of movies can often detonate an amazing box office.

Phyllis' words calmed everyone down, which was also the fundamental problem. Gianni saw that everyone was silent, so he said, "I'll add one thing. Rick contacted Xinxian directly yesterday and expressed his willingness to pay liquidated damages. Then... Attenborough was consulting Hugo's schedule. "

One sentence, multiple meanings. The first half of the sentence shows Hugo's decisiveness, showing that there is no room for maneuver, and it is supported by the agent. This can be concluded from the content of the words of the Copelsons just now; the second half is Talking about Richard Attenborough (.).

Richard Attenborough, a well-known director and actor in the industry, is very similar to Clint Eastwood. In 1982, Richard won fifth in one fell swoop by relying on "Gandhi Biography ( The 15th Oscar's Best Picture and Best Director Golden Man. In addition, he won the Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor Award for two consecutive years in 1966 and 1967. He can also be seen in "Ji Park" and he is a well-known all-rounder in the industry.

Richard is currently preparing a movie called "Love and War (in...and.war with New Line Film Company. This movie has attracted a lot of ideas because the story is based on the famous American writer Ernest -Hemingway (ernest.)'s early life was adapted, obviously for the awards ceremony at the end of the year.

At this juncture, Richard asked about Hugo's schedule, his attitude couldn't be more obvious: I want to cooperate with Hugo!

Now even the new line film company itself is thinking about digging the walls. It is conceivable that if Hugo really leaves the crew, the new line film company will not only not cooperate with the crew to promote Hugo's big name, but it is estimated that the mistake will be blamed on the crew. , After all, the scale of the "seven deadly sins" crew only invested 30 million yuan is really not enough.

So, who will be blamed then? Obviously it is the group of people who are staying in the house at this time. More accurately, it is the group of people in the house who insist on changing the ending of the script.

"Richard is considering using Sandra Bullock as the heroine." Gianni added, becoming the last straw to crush the camel.

If Sandra becomes the heroine of "Love and War", the new line film company will certainly not reject Hugo and Sandra's re-cooperation after "Life and Death". Then, the most likely ending is the new The online film company does not want to offend Hugo, support Hugo's request, and does not change the ending of the "seven deadly sins"; and then seek the second consecutive cooperation with Hugo.

By then, these producers who have never repented and still want to change the ending will be Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror—not people inside and outside.

"Actually, I don't think the ending has to be changed." Annie said, easing the atmosphere and becoming a step for many people to justify.

"Yes, Hugo is right. His analysis of the script is in place." Lynn echoed, "Everyone in the circle now knows that Hugo's understanding and reading of the script is admirable. I heard that Si Pierberg is now eagerly inviting Hugo to write the script again."

"Hugo is called the golden hand for no reason." Arnold said concisely.

Gianni looked at everyone ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and explained, "Hugo made a profound explanation of the current ending. He believes that the current ending is the key to sublimating the tragedy of the small person to the tragedy of society. This has far-reaching significance for the film. If you have any questions, I think Hugo would be happy to discuss it with you."

"He's an expert, isn't he?" Phyllis suddenly came out, and then everyone looked at him sideways, which made him a little embarrassed and explained in a somewhat awkward manner, "I mean'before sunrise', He wrote the script very well. Although I don't like him, I won't deny it." Phyllis tried to defend himself, but found that the effect was not good, so he shut up.

The meeting room was very noisy at the first moment, but quieted down the next moment. Gianni looked around, and after waiting for a long time, no one said anything. He thought about it and coughed slightly, "Then I will tell David that the ending should not be changed. We choose to respect Andrew's work. ."

"Yes, yes, this is the best", "The work should still be delegated to professionals", "Isn't this the best result", "I believe this will be an excellent work, and we should believe in the crew. "...

Gianni let out a sigh of relief. He felt that he was about to have a heart attack several times just now, but fortunately, the matter was resolved properly.
