Chapter 219 New Movie·Call from Iraq
Calling his secretary to come in, Murdoch ordered in a gloomy voice: "Intensify the information collection on Sean and his affiliated companies, and make it more secretive and explosive."
"Okay." The secretary nodded.
"In addition, increase the intensity of negative news reporting on Sean's company." Murdoch thought for a while and continued: "Environmental issues and criminal cases in New Jersey must also increase reporting intensity."
"By the way, there are also those prisons he bought. Hehe, don't tell me that he did it for charity and to treat criminals well. Only a fool would believe it." Murdoch sneered again and again, "Collect more intelligence and increase the intensity of repayment.
, you can always find the problem.”
"Let the people below be more attentive and interview those politicians, especially those who have conflicts with Sean, companies, whatever they want to do, I want to see the news."
"Okay, boss." The secretary continued to nod.
"Oh, by the way." Murdoch remembered something again, "That bullshit security company invaded Colombia, manipulated local politics, massacred, and illegally occupied Colombian state-owned assets. It was simply an act of banditry."
“The life of the local people in Colombia is so miserable!”
"The country will be destroyed and the country will be in dire straits!"
The mouth of the media...
As for the facts, does it matter?
It doesn't matter!
It didn't matter what the people of Cartagena thought, they couldn't make a sound.
…
Norris may not be good at business, but when it comes to thinking about people's hearts, Norris is really good at it.
Sean asked him to bring old Spock over to read the script, but this guy took his time in bringing it over in the afternoon.
As soon as I entered the door, I happened to see Sean lying on the sofa, holding two women on the left and right. Diane was reading the newspaper to Sean, and Elizabeth Hurley was feeding Sean fruit.
As soon as they saw Norris coming with someone, the two women quickly jumped up from Sean. Elizabeth nodded slightly to Norris. It was Norris who sent her to Sean's bed. This was a relationship.
.
Diane glared at Norris fiercely, and Norris could only pretend not to see it, coughing slightly, "Boss, Mr. Leonard Nimoy is here."
Only then did the two women see that there was another person following Norris. They immediately blushed and turned around and walked upstairs.
Although it is common for female stars to climb into the bed of their bosses in Hollywood, the conversation between the two women is still very topical...
Leonard Nimoy was wearing a dark suit and a smile on his face, but he looked a little ferocious.
Sean stood up, shook hands with Leonard Nimoy, asked the servant to serve coffee, and exchanged some pleasantries before getting down to business.
Leonard Nimoy took out the script and handed it to Sean, who quickly read through it.
The story takes place in a high-end apartment in Manhattan. Three men who work in different jobs, but are all romantic, pick up a newborn baby at the door. The three of them have to deal with various celebrities and take care of the baby.
Baby, a ridiculous story happened during this period.
The whole story highlights the strong contrast between the romantic scumbag and the dad who loves his daughter. There are constant conflicts and many funny scenes.
Sean closed the script and couldn't help but look at Leonard Nimoy up and down. It was hard to imagine that such a person would write something with such "love", "Do you have a daughter?"
"Yes, I have been married for 28 years and my daughter is very cute." Leonard Nimoy said with a smile.
"What's your budget for this show?" Sean asked casually.
"My budget is 5 million."
Sean raised his eyebrows and said something like a lion. This story is all supported by the plot, and the location is very simple. It doesn't cost much at all. From Sean's point of view, 3 million can definitely be done.
"The main thing is that we need to buy the adaptation rights of "Three Men and a Cradle" first." Leonard Nimoy spread his hands in embarrassment.
"Ah!?" Sean was stunned.
"I know, last year's movie seems to be from France. This movie is quite interesting." Norris suddenly realized.
"Yes, great, they have decided to participate in this year's Oscars, competing for the best foreign language film, and the director is Corinna Cerro." Leonard Nimoy explained.
"Potentially the best foreign language film..." Sean touched his chin, and he remembered something after mentioning it like this.
He remembered that later Jackie Chan also filmed a story about three men and a child, with a similar plot. He forgot the name, but it seemed to be quite popular in Asia.
Later, the three brothers also remade it.
"Did you bring the video tape?" Sean asked aloud.
"Bring it." Leonard Nimoy nodded and took out two video tapes from his briefcase. Norris took them intuitively and put them in the video recorder.
As the credits played, Sean thought for a moment and shouted loudly: "Diane, Elizabeth, come down and watch the movie!"
After shouting, Sean ignored them. Ten minutes later, the two women arrived belatedly. Sean glanced at them and said, "Good guys, they are indeed women. They don't forget to put on makeup at home."
The two women and Leonard Nimoy smiled and nodded. Although they couldn't figure out what Sean meant, they still sat quietly watching the movie.
At one and a half hours, the feeling about Sean is that it is warm, romantic, loving, and there are some funny things, but it is more humorous. I can only say that she is worthy of being a female director.
After watching the movie, the sense of familiarity made Sean even more certain that Jackie Chan later remade it and filmed it with Principal Gu.
"Mr. Shawn, what do you think?" After the movie was shown, Leonard Nimoy asked Shawn as he thought about it.
"The cultures are different. The French are romantic and undisciplined, but Americans are more free and open. While the warmth should be retained, the comedy element should be increased." Sean commented.
"Mr. Sean, you are right, that's what I think!" Leonard Nimoy looked a little excited. Sean said this, which means he is ready to invest.
"Since it's a remake, why not buy the copyright directly? Is there any problem?" Sean turned to look at Norris.
"Of course, of course no problem!" Norris assured, patting his chest.
"Director Leonard, I will not be involved in the casting of the male protagonist. This movie is left to you, and you will be fully responsible for it. But the female character in it..."
Norris immediately made an introduction in Leonard Nimoy's ear.
"If Miss Diane Lane and Miss Elizabeth Hurley are available, it would be my luck. Their youthful beauty is God's masterpiece and will definitely add a lot of color to this drama." Leonard
Nimoy said with a smile.
Diane Lane smiled reservedly, while Elizabeth was completely stunned, looking at Sean blankly.
I’ve just climbed onto the boss’s bed and the character has arrived!?
What's the fucking surprise?
Sean smiled and nodded to the two women. With Diane Lane's current reputation in Hollywood, she would disdain such small productions. Unless it was a literary film, hiring her would cost a lot of money.
This was Sean's compensation to her. After all, from beginning to end, Sean never publicly admitted that Diane was his girlfriend.
Diane's salary for the first "Bank Robbery" was only 100,000, and Sean gave her 1 million for the second "Die Hard". The 1970s and 1980s were the lowest period for Hollywood actresses' salary, 100,000.
RMB 10,000 is already the price of an A-list actress.
Barbra Streisand, with the movie "Funny Girl", became the only Oscar-winning actress with double yolk eggs in Oscar history, tied with Hepburn. Her box office appeal was one of the best in that era, and she won all three awards in film, television, and singing.
The most notable achievement was that he only received a salary of US$6.5 million in 1991.
For this movie, Sean will give her 1.5 million. The four beauties are still so sensible. Ahem, right, they deserve a reward.
As for Elizabeth, after all, Sean had just taken the body of a little girl, so of course he had to show it, and the pay would be normal.
The little girl has never played any role before, she is a pure newcomer, and she has no idea where the beast Norris came from.
Really are……
marvelous!
"Our beautiful Miss Diane is already a first-line actress, but Elizabeth has just made her debut, so I would like to ask Director Leonard to teach her more. I also hope that Elizabeth can have a good start in the future." Sean stood up and said
He smiled and shook hands with Leonard.
"Of course, of course, don't worry, Mr. Sean." Leonard said with a smile.
"Oh, by the way." Sean suddenly remembered something, blinked and said, "Leonard, you can communicate with Katzenberg first."
"Ah!?" Leonard was a little dumbfounded. If it weren't for Sean blinking at him, he would have thought he heard wrong.
Katzenberg, isn't that a senior executive at Paramount?
Leonard has been working with Paramount for more than 20 years. He is considered to be a majority of Paramount people, so how could he not know him?
But, seeing what it means now... Leonard shook his head, what the hell is wrong with Paramount?
Senior executives suddenly jumped ship!
With a mixture of joy and mixed feelings, Leonard left.
Elizabeth, whose face was flushed with excitement and trembling all over, jumped on Sean and sang and screamed.
Sure enough, if you want to get a higher position, sleep with your boss first, as the ancients said.
Elizabeth has decided that she must use more gestures to repay her boss!
Diane Lane rolled her eyes and pouted, you little bitch.
But thinking of that bitch named Sharon Stone, Diane decided to endure it. In order to tie Sean's heart, she could only choose to recruit a few allies to form an Allied front!
