Chapter 321 [Superstar friends, hit it off at first sight]
The two started chatting, and Leonardo DiCaprio expressed his admiration for Yang Jian. "You are at the top of the NBA when you are only 20 years old. I have never seen anyone more powerful than you. If I were
It would be great if Hollywood could be this great."
"You're not bad either. You were nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1994, when you were not yet 20 years old." Yang Jian said, imitating the plot of his movie "A Different Sky".
"Hey, can you turn on the alarm?"
Leonardo smiled. "That was definitely the stupidest role I've ever played. I don't want to win an Oscar in this way. I want to play a normal leading actor."
Yang Jian complained wildly in her heart: You will know how difficult it is to win the Oscar for Best Actor. You come from an idol group and your commercial films are popular. You are the kind of actor that Oscar hates the most.
Leonardo particularly wanted to be friends with Yang Jianbiao, and after chatting for a while, he suggested exchanging contact information. He is now a fan of the Supersonics, and like many fans likes to watch Yang Jianbiao score high scores and win with personal heroism.
"I think you should take more than 30 shots per game. You have the ability to score high points, but you pass the ball too much." Leonardo paused and smiled: "I know I am a layman, but I know
Fans want stars to score more points."
"I know that you will see me scoring a lot of points throughout the season in the future. Not now, we have too many stars this season."
Yang Jian asked curiously: "Forget about me, what's going on with your movie? Why do you say you're going to be finished?"
"It's hard to put it into words. If it weren't for the request of my friends, I wouldn't have accepted this role. I went to the audition with a playful attitude and was not interested in the role." Leonardo felt that Kate Winslet had tricked him, although
He would never say that.
Leonardo was born in a slum, and his parents divorced before he was born. Even his name was randomly chosen by his parents when they were traveling.
In the first year and a half after he entered the entertainment industry, he went through more than 100 auditions, but did not get any chance to perform until he starred in "Growing Pains".
The children of the poor will be masters early. This sentence is very suitable for Leonardo. He is very thoughtful. No matter before or after he becomes famous, he always takes a role based on whether he likes it and whether he is suitable for it, rather than whether he will be popular.
.
At that time, he wanted to play Paul Thomas Anderson's "Boogie Nights" and portray the role of a superstar in the pornographic film industry. He was not very interested in "Titanic". When he learned that Kate might be playing Ruth, he changed his mind.
Kate said that Leonardo was a great actor, and took the initiative to tell Cameron that even if she couldn't play Rose, she must let Leonardo play Jack. After she got to know Leonardo, she persuaded him to play the role.
this movie.
Now Leonardo not only lacks self-confidence, he is almost worried to death, and regrets taking the role of "Titanic". Only then did Yang Jian remember that this movie was a laughing stock in Hollywood before it was released, and no one was optimistic about it, including the director and
Starring.
Director James Cameron has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and strives for perfection. During filming, he constantly forced investors to increase money, and the budget was exceeded many times. The final cost of the film was as high as 200 million U.S. dollars. The previous highest-cost film was "True Lies"
》An investment of 100 million is also the work of Cameron.
People feel that this is another "Cleopatra"-style attempt by Fox. Fox executives are now ready to enter the bankruptcy stage.
Recently, when Cameron is forcing investors to increase their money, the movie can no longer be made.
Preparations for this film began in 1994. It took two years to build the boat, and the filming started only a few months this year. Now the weather has turned cold, and the actors were filming scenes in the water. They were immersed in the water and their whole bodies were shaking with cold. It was difficult to even speak their lines.
, had to stop filming.
In addition to being strapped for money, Cameron is also known as a "tyrant on set." It's a nightmare for actors to work with him. His autocratic style that never gives in and his fiery temper make him notorious.
Cameron is a control freak, holding all the power on the set; he is a workaholic, he can't stop, and others don't want to take a break; the "Titanic" script was written by Cameron himself, and both the producer and director
It's him.
"Man, you would never imagine what kind of lunatic Cameron is. When I danced with the heroine, he carried the camera and circled behind us, without a cameraman. When we were filming the intimate scene, he was constantly guiding us, too
It’s embarrassing. He said that other people’s smashing of tables and chairs that were smashed was not good, and he insisted on smashing them again.”
"In fact, I can definitely think of it because I am a fan of Cameron and I have watched all his movies."
Leonardo smiled and said: "It seems that you really like movies and want to film more often in the future. I watched "Friends" and your acting talent is really surprising."
Yang Jian is a time traveler and has read a lot of news.
The investor, Fox, is already preparing a bankruptcy plan. Due to the constant delays in release dates and excessive expenses, they were forced to rope in Paramount.
Cameron is still asking them to continue to provide money. Paramount can only go to the bank to borrow money and mortgage all its capital, and then sell its butt. When Cameron asked for money, he said that if there is no money, you can just sell your butt, and "
The Jiaqian layman in "Xiu Chun Knife" has a fighting chance.
The film company couldn't fire Cameron because no one dared to take over the film, so they could only borrow money from everywhere while vomiting blood.
Cameron held a press conference and announced that he would give up the director's salary and dividends and only take 1 million in script fees. He also said that he would commit suicide if he was not given an additional budget for the film! This guy is not only a lunatic, he is simply insane.
He said: "I didn't intend to gain anything from this movie from the beginning. From the moment she was born, I regarded her as a gift, a gift that I gave to the world."
It is precisely because of Cameron's character that he can make such classics as "Titanic" and "Avatar". It is also because of this character that Cameron's output of films is extremely small. No one is willing to invest in him for fear of losing money.
Yao Mozi.
Yang Jian smiled and said: "Leon, I must remind you that you have spoiled a lot of movie content."
"You won't tell anyone, right?" Leonardo asked, squinting his eyes.
"Of course, and I just want to know if the heroine has many passionate scenes and if she has a good figure."
"Hey hey hey."
It is easy for men to find topics to talk about sports and women. They are about the same age, both became famous at a young age, and they feel like old friends at first sight.
Yang Jian never had the chance to meet such a superstar in his previous life, but now that he is friends with Leonardo, he feels very fulfilled.
Leonardo is more willing to be friends with Yang Jian, knowing that the other person is more famous. His career has just started to pick up, and if the movie does poorly at the box office, he, the leading actor, will most likely take the blame.
How can a young actor like him be able to shoulder this responsibility? He will probably go back to before liberation overnight, and it is unlikely that anyone will ask him to make a big-budget movie in the short term. Huaer Pictures can make movies, and there are many friends and multiple paths.
Yang Jian is the only person on the planet who is optimistic about this movie. "Leon, you don't have to be depressed at all. With your image, how can you possibly fail at the box office? And Cameron's movies have high box office, so you don't care about him either."
Have faith."
Leonardo sighed: "It would be great if everyone thought like you. I think you are the only one who thinks so. You don't know how dangerous it is for a movie to last too long."
"But I know how to look at people. I'm not trying to comfort you."
"Then when the movie is released, will you be willing to attend the premiere to support it? Maybe you can bring some fans into the theater. As long as the movie makes back its money, you will have saved my life." Leonardo's request was extremely low.
There is no way, even Cameron has no confidence in the film, let alone him?
"Okay, you can tell the person in charge when you go back, I will go if there is no conflict in time. If you can't go, I will support you in the interview after the game to prove my vision. If you rush to the street, Hua
When Children's Pictures produces movies in the future, I will ask you to play the leading role."
Leonardo was shocked. "Do you really think so highly of me?"
"Yeah, otherwise why would I, a football star, be chatting with you? I will also find time to act in movies in the future, and I think it would be fun to work with you."
Leonardo smiled and said: "Brother, I feel much better after chatting with you. How about getting some food?"
"OK."
Yang Jian made Leonardo a friend, believing that the future would be very interesting. Because he knew that Leonardo often attended "Victoria's Secret" parties, and he also wanted to get to know him for a long time...
