Angelina Jolie was taken to the dressing room, and her agent Martha followed her in.
Marilyn came close to Fang Zhe, brought a scent of fragrance, and whispered in her ear: "Boss, have you fallen in love with her?"
Fang Zhe couldn't help but laugh and said: "What are you thinking about? I'm doing it for the role. Let's see her makeup."
"Well, the role is the most important." He said this, but Marilyn's expression meant something else. Fang Zhe could see it clearly and raised his hand to slap her buttocks. Marilyn whispered with a smile: "She can
Know how to do it.”
Well, this is Hollywood, and everyone has become accustomed to many things. When you can really decide someone's fate, even if you don't want it, others will force it on you.
Angelina Jolie came back after changing her clothes. According to Fang Zhe, she took off her shoes and rolled up her shirt sleeves.
"Hair, tie your hair up." Fang Zhe thought of something again, and Angelina Jolie did it.
Fang Zhe took two steps back, holding her chin with a smile on her face. At this moment, Angelina Jolie looked like Mrs. Smith.
"Show her the script and give me an answer after reading it." Fang Zhe raised his hand and said hello, and Marilyn brought the script over.
Angelina Jolie took the script and did not rush to read it. Instead, she asked first: "If I am satisfied with the script, are you sure?"
Agent Martha smiled on the side and said: "It's better to read the script first and then talk about it after reading it."
Fang Zhe said with a smile: "The story is very simple. This is a popcorn movie. The acting skills are just passable. The key is that the person is beautiful and the fight is good. You are beautiful, and the rest is action scenes. This is a big production, at least
An investment of 100 million."
Angelina Jolie stopped talking and lowered her head to read the script. She finished reading it in less than ten minutes and raised her head and said, "It seems I'm lucky. Judging from the script, I should be the heroine."
Fang Zhe nodded: "Of course, yes, that's the expression, with a bit of wildness in the smile."
Marilyn stood up at this time and interjected: "If there is no better one, it is you. After all, we have contacted other people."
Huh? Fang Zhe turned around and looked over. The woman blinked at him. Well, you are the CEO, and I respect your words.
"Marilyn has the right to make the decision, I'm just making a recommendation." Fang Zhe changed his tune promptly, giving Marilyn enough face.
"Mr. Fang, if you are free, how about having dinner together in the evening?" Agent Martha made the request, but the heroine still had to be reserved. Fang Zhe did not agree immediately: "It depends on the situation, my time is very tight, I have time.
If so, I will contact you."
The two stood up and said goodbye without staying any longer. After all, they had said everything. After leaving the house and getting in the car, Martha said to Angelina Jolie: "There are many but few opportunities in Hollywood, and there are even fewer opportunities for big productions. So.
, we must seize this opportunity. I have learned about Summit Pictures in detail, and so far, no movie has made a loss. This is a miracle."
Angelina Jolie nodded: "I know, I will try my best. This is a big A-level production."
After seeing the two of them off, Fang Zhe looked back at Marilyn: "It seems you have to do something for me to do it."
"As Boss of Pinnacle Pictures, you deserve this. Although Monica Bellucci is a bit older, she takes good care of herself. If Boss is interested, other crews can invite her to audition.
"
"I think you are the one who needs to audition." Fang Zhe smiled cruelly, and Marilyn turned around with a smile on her face.
After waiting for a while, there was no sound, and then she heard a knock on the door. When Marilyn turned around, she found Fang Zhe sitting motionless, and she immediately cursed in her heart: "Who is that damn knock on the door?"
It was the secretary who knocked on the door. Seeing Marilyn's ugly face, she suddenly stammered nervously: "Ms. Marilyn, a director is here. You told me to notify you immediately when he comes?"
Marilyn then remembered and waved her hand angrily: "Go and invite him."
Fang Zhe heard it very clearly, and Marilyn took the initiative to report: "A student named director has directed two plays. He is very talented and is not considered a newcomer. However, he does not have much experience in large-scale productions, so I am not very interested.
But there are recommenders.”
"Understood, no need to explain." Fang Zhe smiled, saying that Chinese people value relationships, and Americans value relationships even more. Otherwise, is it really just for fun to have a party? As long as you are a human being, you will definitely cooperate with people with good relationships.
More.
A handsome white guy followed the secretary in. When he saw Fang Zhe, his eyes paused and he nodded slightly.
Then he said to Marilyn: "Miss Marilyn, I am Doug Liman, and my teacher is..."
After introducing herself, Marilyn wanted to give him a detailed introduction to Fang Zhe, but after receiving Fang Zhe's look, she casually said: "This is Fang, the script creator." This statement is very interesting, because of the gap between the screenwriter and the boss.
, more than ten thousand miles.
After some pleasantries, Marilyn and Doug Liman started talking: "The reason I invited the screenwriter is to check whether your ideas resonate with each other. Fang is the company's gold medal screenwriter, and the company is currently filming
movie scripts were all produced by his studio."
This time when Doug Liman looked at Fang Zhe, his eyes were different. Summit Pictures' movies have been making money, and scripts are very important. This is what small productions are like. A good story can be made if the director is above the standard.
Produced good results. And he also heard that the biggest feature of Summit Pictures' scripts is that the scripts have very detailed notes on the effects that the screenwriter wants.
To be honest, this kind of script is rare in Hollywood. From the director's point of view, split-shot scripts are more professional.
"I have read the script, and I have a feeling that this script was influenced by "True Lies." It is a popcorn visual movie, is that what it means?" Doug Liman said very directly
, what he values is not the script, but the big production that this script brings.
"Go on." Fang Zhe said calmly, the script itself is nothing, the key lies in the effect produced by the director.
"First of all, we are actors. Men should be handsome, women should be beautiful. The key is to have a good figure..."
As Doug Liman narrated, Fang Zhe found that he was very good at talking, and it seemed that every scene was in front of you.
After talking for ten minutes, Doug Liman finally said: "Editing is very critical, it must be sharper. The pace should be as fast as possible. Of course, this is just my suggestion. You know, I don't have the right to edit."
In hand."
Fang Zhe nodded frequently. Marilyn was dismissive at first, but after hearing this, her expression became serious.
"What do you think?" Marilyn asked. When Fang Zhe lowered his head and pondered, Doug Liman's expression changed again. He secretly regretted in his heart, how could I forget such important information? The boss of Summit Pictures,
Rumor has it that he is of Chinese descent.
"Let's leave it at that for now. I think you understand the essence of this movie very well. But as you know, we have made appointments with several directors. We have to meet them. It depends on the specific situation." Fang Zhe expressed his disapproval.
So clear, after all, he really has no impression of being a director at all.
Doug Liman has no regrets. It was an opportunity that he had earned. If he could achieve the best, there would be nothing he could do if he didn't.
This is the case in Hollywood. There are not many big productions, and every director will cherish them. Of course, there are some directors who don't like commercial films. But directors of Doug Liman's level are not yet at the point where they can do whatever they want. He
I am still looking for opportunities everywhere. Before I become a big director, I am not qualified to choose scripts.
After seeing this person off, Marilyn sat down next to Fang Zhe more directly this time, put her hand on her thigh and rubbed it gently: "Boss, what do you think of him?" Fang Zhe leaned back and said calmly with squinted eyes.
: "Let's talk about it after meeting other directors. This is a big production and we have to choose the most suitable one."
Fang Zhe didn't know that what he just met was the director of the original film, which appeared several years in advance. It's not yet known what Doug Liman's skills are now. But Fang Zhe thinks he is very good.
Fang Zhe has been staying at Summit Pictures in the morning. He has not met any of the directors he has worked with in the past. It is not that he does not give opportunities, but he does not dare to take risks. The quality of these directors, such as White, Fang Zhe thinks that it is okay to make a small production.
.
In the morning, I met two more directors, both of whom were well-known directors in Hollywood. Fang Zhe requested that they be directors of commercial films, and as a screenwriter, he listened to the conversation between the two directors and Marilyn. Mainly to listen to their opinions on the film.
Some ideas on how to shoot, one of the directors was a bit arrogant and didn't even look at Fang Zhe from beginning to end. What he meant was that the screenwriter just had to write the script, why did he get involved in selecting a director?
He didn't say this out loud, but everyone could hear it. Fang Zhe didn't care, but Marilyn was furious. In the end, she sent him away politely, closed the door, and said, "Sorry, Boss."
, I didn’t expect him to be such a person.”
"It's okay. It's normal for the director to have a bit of a personality. After all, he is a commercial film director and has had successful experiences."
"Let's go have lunch first. We've made a reservation." Marilyn quickly changed the subject to avoid being offended. She didn't think a big boss really had a good temper. He was just looking at people. Is it worth getting angry? She felt comfortable.
That's weird.
Lunch was a seafood dinner, and Marilyn’s treat was of course charged to the company’s account, so you didn’t have to save money for those Wall Street bosses. Back at the company, I met another director and two actresses in the afternoon.
Before getting off work, Fang Zhe looked a little tired and leaned on the sofa, while Marilyn massaged him from behind.
"Didn't Boss take a fancy to the two actresses just now? They sat aside and said nothing."
"Well, it's a little worse than the first one." Fang Zhe said and stood up. When he was about to go home, a call came in.
Marilyn went over to answer the call, and after two ums, she hung up the phone and the other party said, "Boss, Huaxia's phone number, that woman named Fen, she has flown to Los Angeles with her actors and is on her way to the hotel.
"
"I understand. Just arrange a supporting role for her. One with two or three lines. Don't affect the effect of the entire movie."
Hearing this, Marilyn secretly remembered that she didn’t want to see them. It seemed that Boss was not interested in domestic actors and still liked riding famous foreign horses.
