Chapter 28: Unexpected Discovery

"rustle…"

In the main office of the production department, Herac looked through the shortlist of "Graduates" team, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he looked at everyone's name.

"No?"

Albert R. Broccoli looked at Herac's expression and said strangely;

After closing the list, Herac waved his hand and shook his head and said, "Their design philosophy and techniques are not suitable for the team members I need."

Albert R. Broccoli looked at Herac with a headache. The shooting team of "The Graduate" was about to be formed, but he didn't expect that Herac had seen the shooting team members and their works and techniques and removed the photographer and the assistant director.

In Hollywood, if a new director dares to remove the production company from such a random way, he will definitely be fired, but this team is built by the chairman and the funds are also raised by the chairman himself.

Thinking of this, Albert R. Broccoli knocked on the table. "Chairman, it is right for you to seriously shoot "Graduate" well. Those candidates can barely do their job well."

Herak also knew that the team he was looking for was a bit too demanding in the eyes of Albert R. Broccoli, but he didn't just film "Graduate" successfully and then disband the team. If that was the case, the person who was removed could still follow him to film "Graduate".

What he wants to form is to become his future royal team like George Lucas's shooting team in the original time and space. Although someone will leave after a long time, someone will fill the vacant position later.

But Albert R. Broccoli obviously didn't know what he was thinking, and Herac had to explain: "What I want to form is a royal team."

Albert R. Brocurry looked at Herac in surprise. "Chairman, have you determined your shooting style?"

Hollywood directors have made their own styles by fumble, but there are some exceptions. When they have their own styles, they will also try to shoot genres that they have never filmed, and will experiment with another shooting style, such as directors such as Brian de Palma and Stephen Spielberg, the suspense masters of the original time and space.

Especially directors like to use people they are familiar with the most. After a long time, it is much more convenient to do things. They don’t have to always look for foreign players, which will take time to get started.

Of course Herac had his own ideas, but he would not say it. After all, he had not released a single work. Albert R. Broccoli would only treat it as his immature idea, but said: "There is a vague concept."

Albert R. Brockell saw the chairman's mocking answer, but he didn't take it seriously. For the director's storyboard, he had seen the director's storyboard and knew that the young chairman in front of him was not the kind of rich man who knew nothing about the film production. On the contrary, he was quite looking forward to what Herac could do to shoot, so he would have the patience and seriousness to build the team needed by the chairman instead of perfunctory.

United Film Company fired a lot of people some time ago and recruited a lot of new talents. Seeing that the company's employees did not meet Herak's requirements, Albert R. Brockell thought of the young man who came to Herak and had to ask: "Since that's the case, Brian de Palma can be suitable for the position of assistant director."

"Give me aside. If I arrange him into my team, Bruce Gay will probably fight me to the death."

Herak joked, shook his head and refused to let Brian de Palma be his deputy director. "The second season of the American drama "Mission: Impossible" still requires the help of Brian de Palma."

Albert R. Broccoli knew that this was a bit difficult and said in no way: "I can only find it from Hollywood."

"This is the only way at the moment."

Herac thought of those who had not yet made a fortune in the 1960s and was about to speak out that he valued people, but saw a female assistant from his assistant group knocking outside the door saying something was wrong, and stopped what he was about to say and let the other party come in.

"Mr. Pierre Bourer and his agent Erimovin are waiting for you in the reception room."

Herak surprised the female assistant's words, waved his hand and asked the other party down, looked at Albert R. Broccoli and asked, "Do you have any insider information?"

I spent a long time in Massachusetts, and although news about Pierre Bourer and Twentieth Century Fox often came to him, it was not detailed.

The science fiction film "2001 Space Odyssey" invested by MGM has attracted a lot of attention in Hollywood. Although it is not mainstream and second- and third-rate movies, there are still smart people who want to invest in science fiction films. This is also an attempt. Twentieth Century Fox and Herak both have the idea of ​​investing in science fiction films.

The difference is that Twentieth Century Fox just had the idea of ​​investing in filming and was not sure to invest in filming science fiction films. Herac had to get "Planet of the Apes" under certain conditions.

Only then did Albert R. Broccoli learn that the other script that Herac mentioned was actually a competition with Twentieth Century Fox for the film and television adaptation rights of the science fiction novel Planet of the Apes. Thinking of the news he learned from other producers, he gloated: "Twentieth Century Fox and Pierre Bühler are currently in a tug-of-war, and their talks seem to have collapsed."

Herak's eyes lit up slightly, and he stood up and said, "I will give you the list of candidates I need later. You can help me find those people at that time."

Seeing this, Albert R. Broccoli reminded him of the good young director Brian de Palma, whom Herac had found from somewhere.

Herac, regardless of what his words had played to Albert R. Broccoli, walked to the reception room with anticipation.

In the reception room...

Pierre Bourer and his agent Eri Moven drank coffee from their assistant and talked about their purpose of the trip.

Erimovin looked out the door, and saw that Herac had not arrived yet, and said to Pierre Bühler: "Is it too hasty for us to come?"

Pierre Bühler paused with his hands holding the coffee, took a sip of the coffee, and when he thought of discussing with them, the 20th Century Fox executive looked despised, and said, "I've come here, and I don't plan to change my mind anymore."

Seeing this, Eri Mowen had to fight for it: "I think we can still talk to 20th Century Fox. After all, with the chairman of United States fighting for "Planet of the Apes" first, they will still agree to our request."

Seeing that his agent wanted to move closer to Twentieth Century Fox, Pierre asked in confusion: "Hollywood is not just Twentieth Century Fox. United American Film Company also has a fancy to "Planet of the Apes". Both companies bought out my novel and film adaptation rights for $400,000, and United American has a box office share of 1% more than Twentieth Century Fox."

Eri Mowen also knew that the conditions offered by United States Film Company were 1% more than 20th Century Fox. In the past few days, she has been competing with 20th Century Fox for a 1% box office share. Moreover, the selfish thing is that 20th Century Fox has people he knows. As long as it can be negotiated, he can also secretly get a generous reward. Thinking of Herak's age, he said a little contemptuously: "What can a company run by a young man make "Planet of the Apes"? Now United States Film Company is just the bottom of the list."

"Enough."

Pierre Bühler felt the contempt for Herac in his agent's mouth. Thinking of Herak's sincerity when he took his family to the National Zoo in the United States. He was displaced in World War II and valued sincerity very much. He put down the coffee cup in his hand and said in dissatisfaction: "When my sister and niece and I came here, Herak came to talk to us with sincerity. How could you say that?"

The sound of the cup shaking the table made Erimovin shocked, a little surprised that Pierre Boole would suddenly get angry, cursing the damn Frenchman in his heart, but he was not saying that Herac was not.

For a moment, the reception room became quiet.

Outside the reception room, before the two of them noticed it, Herak heard the words clearly outside the door, and looked at Pierre Bühler's agent Eri Moven, feeling a little thoughtful.
