Chapter 111 (1/2)
”Boss, this is the newspaper. Miss Garbo is on her way.” The elk put the newspaper about confession on the table.
”Well, decorate the hotel and tell the housekeeper to put fresh roses in the room.” Li Zitao picked up the newspaper and said casually.
Jane Harlow and Li Zitao still remember this woman. She looks a little seductive and tender with a charm that makes people want to ”love” severely.
Looking through the previous issues of newspapers, Li Zi Tao finally knows what ”confession” is.
In his opinion, this is the enthusiasm of someone to rub against him, take the opportunity to promote their new film, what is it called?
”Here Angel of hell, son of former oil tycoon Howard Hughes, invested in filming, and two Arab Knights won the Oscar for Best Director... ”
Li Zitao watched the above report with relish, and became more and more interested in this little Howard Hughes.
After inheriting the family business, he did not become an oil tycoon. He confidently handed over the company to a group of managers and collaborators. Instead, he came to Hollywood to make films.
The money willful series is right.
But they didn't come to play with tickets. After the first film was shot, they were not satisfied. The film, which was shot by 80000 US dollars, was directly burned by a fire.
Introduced by a friend, I met Lewis, a talented director, and started shooting with him.
Within two years, all three films made profits, and ”two Arab knights” also won the best director award, which is not what ordinary people can do.
Let's take a look at his upcoming ”Hell's angel,” big shot
Even if Li Zitao watched it, he could not help praising that this wayward rich young man, a local war movie about airplanes, actually found 1700 extras, got 87 airplanes and spent 400000 to decorate the site.
It is no exaggeration to say that 87 planes are enough to arm the air forces of several small countries.
The investment before and after the play is as high as four million dollars. What is this concept?
Take eight major companies as an example. A large production with a huge investment is worth $500000. A small producer with $100000 can produce a well-made film.
Li Zitao bought five copper mines at a cost of $2.3 million, while PepsiCo's purchase price was $2.0 million.
The land price of the top ranch is $600 per acre. After Li Zitao's bidding, the price of land in zone 22 is only $60 per mu.
He gave Mr. yevich a premium apartment in downtown Chicago for less than $20000.
In a more straightforward sense, the value of 4 million U.S. knives in the 21st century is equivalent to 1.2 billion U.S. knives.
In other words, this guy used $1.2 billion to make a movie
Avatar $237 million?
Huge investment?
Unprecedented?
That's because you didn't come to Bluestar, otherwise the truck driver wouldn't be a problem.
And Hughes is also a fan of airplanes, and his past is detailed in the newspaper.
He flew a plane to the sky at the age of 14. During the filming of hell angel, I personally flew the plane to participate in the shooting.
He also fell into a slight concussion, but this did not stop his love of flying. Look at the interview.
”My last dream is to be the best pilot in the world, and one day I will realize it.” Hughes in the picture is waving his arm in high spirits.
”Find a chance to meet.” Li Zitao put down the newspaper and said in his heart, ”isn't this a ready-made test pilot?”
Love to fly, not afraid of death, excellent driving skills, dare to fly since childhood, there are more suitable test pilots than him?
”Suddenly I hope that he will lose blood in this play. Will it reduce the difficulty of buying him off?” Li said with a bad smile.
Just as he was thinking about how to turn the willful second generation of oil back to work for himself, Garbo's flight also stopped at Chicago airport.
”Garbo, do I really have nothing to do with it?” As Garbo came out of the plane, Katherine's face was hesitant.
”You're a contract actor for DreamWorks now.” Garbo walked forward calmly, and the car to pick them up stopped by the runway.
”Miss Garbo, welcome to Chicago. Pommel hotel would like to extend our warm welcome and sincere greetings to you. We are very honored to have your recognition.”
The housekeeper's smile on her face is as precise as a make-up photo. Her hands are pasted in front of her navel, and she bows gracefully to greet her.
”Thank you.” Garbo bent her knees slightly to express her thanks. Catherine, who was nervous behind her, was like a model. Fortunately, the housekeeper and others all gave her a smile.
”Garbo, did I behave impolitely just now?” As she got into the car, Katherine was still thinking about her performance.
Compared with Garbo's graceful performance, she is like a poor girl who accidentally intrudes into the aristocratic reception.
”Don't worry about it, at least not now.” Garbo was always calm and calm, and Catherine admired her indifference.”That's good.” Katherine put down her worries and looked at the strange city through the window with relish.
From childhood to adulthood, Katherine was like a tomboy, never taking part in the protests with her mother, just like a female soldier.
She was often called a tomboy when she was in school. Before she came to Hollywood, her Broadway performance image was also partial to shrewd and capable women or soldiers.
Therefore, she is not a delicate and obedient woman. From the bottom of her heart, she reveals rebellion and uneasiness.
If it's not just from Broadway to Hollywood, a new environment, and step up to become friends with Garbo, have a chance to meet her boss.
