Rebirth of the Auto Giant

Chapter 432: Strike first to gain the upper hand

Lanslovsky's two holding companies in Hollywood, Twentieth Century Fox Film Company and Paramount Pictures, were the producers. After Cameron took over, funds from several investors were quickly in place, and then Cameron

Beginning Day Ya further enriches the script.

"It's great, impeccable!" Cameron looked at the script and found that there was nothing that could be changed.

The story is also very perfect. It mainly focuses on two young people who have just begun to fall in love and realize their passionate love on the Titanic, and then the choices they make when disaster strikes, especially the scene where the hero and the heroine are flying on the bow of the ship...

…

"Genius, simply genius."

Cameron sighed.

If Wang Shizai doesn't know what to say.

You are praising yourself.

After the funds were secured, Cameron acted quickly and immediately assembled the crew and began selecting actors.

"This...?" Cameron frowned as he looked at the male and female protagonists selected by the investors.

This is what the crew found out about the male and female protagonists. They are newcomers, and both of them are so young... "Can they support such an important movie?" This is an investment of 200 million US dollars.

How about giving this newcomer, who has not yet debuted, the lead role?

Cameron looked at the information the deputy had collected about the two men.

Information shows that when the male protagonist Xiao Lizi was 5 years old, he played a role in the educational film "Playhouse". Last year, he filmed his first commercial, which was for Matchbox Cars. This year he just participated in a daytime soap opera

"Santa Barbara" performance, playing an alcoholic teenager.

Cameron looked at DiCaprio's commercial and said, "The shots are okay." It generally passed, but these print ads usually go through post-production, and you have to audition to know whether you are qualified.

As for the heroine Kate Winslet, she is more professional. She is now 14 years old and studying at a British drama school. When she was 5 years old, Kate participated in the stage play "Maria the Virgin".

You must know that the most important thing in Hollywood is good actors. With such a huge investment, two newcomers will be cast. Aren't you afraid of losing a lot?

These two people haven't debuted yet, how did he know about them?

"This Wang Shi is from China, right? How do you know these two people?" Cameron wondered in his heart.

But investors are God, you have to listen and you will know if you are qualified for the job.

"Immediately notify the two of them to come over for an audition." Cameron told his deputy.

15-year-old Xiao Lizi was at home today when suddenly the phone rang at home.

"Hello, how can I help you?" Xiao Lizi asked.

A middle-aged man's voice came from the other side of the phone: "Excuse me, is this Leonardo DiCaprio's home?"

"Yes, I am Leonardo DiCaprio. I wonder what's wrong with you?" Little DiCaprio asked.

"We are the crew of "Titanic". We have a role for the male protagonist. We would like to invite you to come over for an audition. Is it convenient for you now?"

"Of course... at any time!" Xiao Lizi said excitedly and incoherently.

He heard very clearly just now that it was the hero, the hero!

The other party just said that the movie is called "Titanic"?

It seems like a disaster movie.

"Okay, let's go now..." The other party left the address of the crew.

"Thank you very much. I'll be there soon." Xiao Lizi put down the phone. Seeing her son being so excited, the mother asked, "What happened?"

"Mom, there was a call just now from a production crew called "Titanic" and asked me to come over and audition for the male lead." DiCaprio said excitedly.

"Titanic?" my mother asked after hearing this.

"Yes, Mom, you know this?"

"Of course" my mother said.

Leonardo's mother, Elleline, was a German of Russian descent. His parents divorced as soon as Leonardo was born, and he has been living with his mother.

"This is a great ship..." The mother knew that her son was about to audition, so she told her son what she knew about the Titanic.

"This is supposed to be a human disaster and romance film. This is an opportunity. I really want to know why they came to you?"

"I also want to know. I won't tell you anymore. I want to inform my agent." Xiao Lizi said excitedly.

In the UK, Kate Winslet was returning home from drama school. When her grandmother saw Kate Winslet coming back, she happily came up and said: "Just now, a Hollywood film and television company in the United States said that a "Titanic" crew member

I called and said that I wanted to invite you to come over for an audition. You are the heroine." After speaking, the 60-year-old grandmother looked at her granddaughter and asked: "Honey, how did Hollywood know about you?"

"Hollywood, no way, grandma, are you kidding me?" I have only been studying at drama school for more than a year, how come Hollywood is looking for me to film, and I am the heroine?

"You also left your phone number and asked you to call them right away when you get back." After that, the other party handed the actor Kate Winslet a piece of paper with the number written on it.

Playing Kate Winslet, she dialed the other party's phone number in doubt.

This is a big deal. During dinner in the evening, Kate Winslet discussed this matter with her family.

"I don't know how they knew about you. Was it recommended by the college?" Grandma asked.

"No, I asked, and they said that a Chinese investor named Mr. Wang Shi mentioned me to them. They also asked me how I met Mr. Wang Shi. I am still in the dark."

Winslet.

The father on the side said: "This is a rare opportunity for you. Haven't you always liked acting? Now the opportunity has come, and she is the heroine. I will ask for leave from the company tomorrow and go there with you."

Hollywood, USA, crew of "Titanic".

DiCaprio is a native of the United States. Accompanied by his agent, he came to the set at noon the next day. Director Cameron personally interviewed him and tried out several scenes.

"Well, let's go back and wait for the news." Cameron agreed, and then asked DiCaprio to go back and wait for the news, without saying whether it passed or not.

This time, the production cost of this masterpiece is as high as 200 million U.S. dollars. The male protagonist must be selected from a hundred. Although DiCaprio is the candidate provided by the investors, Cameron attaches great importance to his reputation and must choose a few more before making a decision.

Don't be so hasty, you are responsible for your investors and yourself.

Other actors are also working at the same time. This is a huge job and the process is tedious and takes a long time.

"Leonardo DiCaprio, let me ask you something, how did you meet Mr. Wang Shi?" Director Cameron asked when DiCaprio walked to the door.

"who?"

"It's Mr. Wang Shi, the screenwriter of "Titanic". He recommended you. How did you meet?" Cameron said.

Xiao Lizi shook his head and said: "I don't know, Mr. Director." The handsome Xiao Lizi gave the other party a bright smile with a swish of Liu Hai.

"I believe you," Cameron said. You two are thousands of miles apart and you don't know each other. How did he recommend you?

"This kid didn't tell the truth, I'm sure." Cameron thought to himself as he looked at DiCaprio's back.

DiCaprio was accompanied by his manager when he came outside. The manager said excitedly: "Great, this is an opportunity for you. Leonardo DiCaprio, I just asked about this movie.

The total investment in the movie is 200 million US dollars. It is a huge masterpiece, and I have just read the script. It is very good. Even the great director Cameron praised it. This is a disaster romance movie. If you can be the leading actor,

This will be very helpful to you in the future.”

"$200 million?"

"Yes, you heard it right, it's 200 million US dollars. Leonardo DiCaprio, tell me the truth. Do I know that Wang Shi?" The agent felt that the other party did not tell the truth just now.

"Didn't I tell you that I don't know you and you don't believe me?" Xiao Lizi was speechless. How many times do I have to tell you before you believe me?

"That's strange. Then why would Mr. Wang Shi recommend you? And I heard that he confirmed you when the script came out. Judging from the director's reaction just now, if nothing else, you should be able to be the leading actor."

Xiao Lizi's face was full of doubts now. How did the mysterious Wang Shi of the ancient Eastern country know about him?

"Leonardo DiCaprio, in the entertainment industry, network resources are sometimes more important than the acting level itself. Hollywood has never lacked actors with superb acting skills. Why are only a few of them famous? It's not because they are not good at acting.

Okay, but there is a lack of opportunity. Now your opportunity has come. If you can be selected this time,

I suggest that you thank the recommender, Mr. Wang Shi, and be grateful as a person. Although the entertainment industry is snobbish, I still hope that you will always maintain a grateful heart and be kind to everyone who helps you.

Thank you, there will be no next chance, do you understand what I mean?" the agent said.

"I have seen many outstanding and talented actors in this industry. After they achieve some success, they become arrogant and abandon the people who have helped them in the past to burn bridges. Such people will not go far. There are many actors in Hollywood.

, why would those big investors choose you? It’s very important to be a good person, listen to me,” the broker said.

"Thank you." Xiao Lizi said sincerely.

The day after DiCaprio auditioned, actress Kate Winslet came to the set to audition accompanied by her father.

When Cameron saw Kate Winslet at first sight, he knew she was the heroine he was looking for. After the audition, he made the decision on the spot.

Before leaving, Cameron also asked Kate Winslet the same question. What made Cameron feel depressed was that Kate Winslet didn't know Wang Shi either and had never met him in person.

"That's weird." Cameron couldn't understand.

It's not like there was the Internet thirty or forty years ago. There is no Internet now. There is no two-person movie released in China, and it is not broadcast on TV. How did Wang Shi know the two of them, and from the effect of the audition

From the looks of it, they are both pretty good in Africa, and the heroine is even more unaffordable. Although she is still studying in drama school, what the movie wants is the effect of a young girl in love.

It's like it's tailor-made for them.

The crew of the classic movie masterpiece "Titanic" is in progress in an orderly manner. With the famous director Cameron at the helm, Wang Shi is full of confidence in this investment.

After Lanslovsky left for the United States, Wang Shi and others still stayed in the Soviet Union. Li Chengzhen inspected the market in the Soviet Union and selected a batch of bacon products with better brands.

Lao Maozi's bacon is hard and big, especially sausages and bacon, which have become Li Chengyi's main purchase types. Considering that there is Qingshan Garment City, Li Chengyi also purchases some leather.

As for the money, Li Chengyi still paid it, and Rokov paid it in advance, and it would be deducted from Rokov's purchase payment next time.

The heavy industry in the Soviet Union is very developed, but the light industry is seriously lacking, especially in Ukraine, where both large aircraft manufacturing and large surface ships are concentrated. The aircraft has the Antonov Design Bureau, and the number one engine manufacturer "Motor Sich" company.

There are 72 enterprises with different professions and ownership forms involved in the development, testing or production of aircraft, aircraft engines or special equipment, or training of professional personnel.

In addition to Motorsich, the major enterprises include the Kiev Aviant State-owned Aircraft Factory, the Kharkiv State-owned Aircraft Production Plant, and the Artem State-owned Joint Stock Company.

Designed and manufactured by Antonov Design Bureau, the largest transport aircraft manufacturer on earth, the An-225.

There is also the "White Swan" Tu-160 hypersonic strategic long-range bomber, which is also manufactured here and has just been put into use by the troops. It is a pity that in two years many countries will be torn into pieces. It is really the old saying of our ancestors -

It doesn't hurt that my son sold my father's land.

The aircraft R&D and manufacturing technology here is advanced. For Wang Shi, a "prophet", how could he miss such a good opportunity.

Instead of taking advantage of others in two years, it is better to start first and poach the best experts first.

Enter the village secretly and don't need to shoot.

After talking about flying in the sky, let’s talk about running on water.

There are Black Sea shipbuilding ships here. The Soviet giant surface combat platforms were all built in the Black Sea shipyard. my country's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning ship Varyag, was built here.

Wang Shi stayed in the Soviet Union for five days. Rokov acted as a translator throughout the whole process and met with many target persons. The results were also good. Many experts in various fields received personal letters from his colleague Bernardkovsky. Bernardkovsky

In the letter, Fsky talked about his current life and working environment in China. After thinking about the various benefits here, he also signed a letter of intent with Wang Shi and agreed to join Wang Shi's Y10 aircraft manufacturing company.

factory.

"Welcome to join Tang Dynasty Dynamics. Don't worry, I will provide the best platform and the most generous living conditions, so that you can fully utilize your own strengths at work and make greater contributions to the human aircraft industry.

Contribution." You should have a higher vision and think about the problem from the perspective of human beings instead of your own Tang Dynasty Power Company. This will not work.

"Now that you have signed the letter of intent, you can receive 20,000 rubles of settlement allowance from Rokov to solve your current difficulties. As for transportation, Rokov and Sovlevsky will help you get there.

You don’t have to worry, but you must keep it secret.” The Soviet Union’s security department is not a vegetarian. If they find out, not only will they not be able to leave, but the Rokov and Sovlevsky families may also be affected.
