Chapter 770 (1/2)

Simon saw Bryce Levinson approaching and patted one side of Tricia Schiff's waist. The girl got up knowingly and gave up her seat. There was obvious dissatisfaction in her eyes when she looked at Bryce.

Ignoring each other's eyes, Bryce Levison sat down next to the man, politely smiling at several people around him. Seeing that Simon didn't introduce her at all, she was a little relieved, but also lost. She picked up her spirits and pretended to listen to their conversation seriously.

A young man named James is introducing his script idea, telling the story of a small town policeman who killed two black youths by mistake.

Morrie mistakenly killed two black youths because of his wrong judgment. His uncle ray, who is also a policeman, faked the scene and made a false impression that Morrie was dead, which made him escape the sanctions. Morrie, who died, even became a hero praised by the media.

During the investigation of the incident, another police officer, tillton, found many suspicious points and traced them all the way to garrison, the town where Murray lived.

For some reason, many people in garrison are in the police profession.

As the investigation goes on, Tilton gradually discovers the truth that Murray may still be alive. However, this is not the most important. It turns out that garrison town is a famous drug transfer station, and the men in the town actively apply for police positions to cover their own drug transportation network.

Freddy, who wanted to be a regular policeman since childhood but was unable to work as a policeman because of hearing impairment, is a local ordinary sheriff in a small town. He is responsible for directing traffic and guiding students to cross the road. When he finds out that the police neighbors he respects and worships have another identity, Freddy, who is upright and righteous, agrees to assist tillton in the investigation.

Aware that his nephew may expose the dark scenes of the town, regor decides to get rid of Murray and cut off future troubles, but he fails.

Morrie unconsciously becomes an important stain witness who can expose the dark scenes of the small town. At the same time, he is a criminal who pretends to commit suicide after killing two black youths by mistake.

Justice, humanity and salvation.

All kinds of choices intertwined together, testing the life outlook of Freddy, who was seriously impacted, he finally chose to stick to it.

On weekdays, she is only interested in party travel with gorgeous clothes and accessories, and occasionally going to Broadway to watch a play is just a bit of a sideshow. Bryce Levison thought this conversation would not have her own business. However, when James introduced her script, she suddenly heard the man beside her ask herself, ”what do you think of this story?”

Bryce Levison was stunned. Although she was not distracted just now, she didn't know how to evaluate it. She just relied on a woman's instinct of being good at camouflage. She didn't show any flaws. After a little consideration, she said, ”it's very good. Maybe she can get an Oscar nomination.”

When Bryce finished, she didn't dare to see the reaction of the man beside her, but she noticed that James's eyes on the other side were brighter, and suddenly realized that she might have come to the point.

Simon smiles, no longer questioning, looks at James Mangold, and says: ”in the core of the story, this play is similar to Scorsese's” corner of terror ”a few years ago, which is torturing fairness and justice. The story is wonderful. I know you intend to attack the Oscars, Jim, but it's not easy. The judges of the Oscars have not been very interested in realistic crime thrillers. Therefore, on the basis of a good story, you also need a strong creative team and some luck in the future. These danilisi Entertainment can provide you with. ”

James Mangold nodded his head sincerely, remembering the fact that ”corner of terror” just won two nominations for performance awards a few years ago. He did not doubt the judgment of the young man on the opposite side. With a little hesitation, Mangold made up his mind and said, ”Simon, I'm absolutely ready. I'll sign a contract with Denise entertainment.”

”I'm glad you can join us,” Simon said with a smile. He raised his glass to Mangold. After a drink of cocktail, he added: ”in fact, you must have guessed. I asked people to put forward the three film appointments to you. I've seen your resume. Compared with winning various awards, I'm more optimistic about your potential in commercial films. Jim, for us, Film is a business after all. I think you want to be Spielberg more than Coppola, don't you? ”

James Mangold nodded again.

Between Spielberg and Coppola, there is Martin Scorsese, who pays equal attention to art and commerce.

Mangaud didn't want to be Scorsese.

From his early twenties when he began to work in Hollywood to his early twenties now, Mangold knows his ability.

Tim Burton, who was also born at the California Academy of Arts and worked together with Disney at that time, became famous a few years ago by virtue of ”beetle juice” and ”Edward Scissorhands”, both of which had a good reputation and box office. However, he could only start from scratch with a small film with a production cost of only 250000 US dollars. The gap between talent and opportunity was very obvious.

Now, Simon westero is the turning point of his life.

This kind of opportunity, perhaps only once in a lifetime, missed will never be. Mangold will never think that westero's good opinion of him is his only choice. Daniels entertainment is not short of talents now. It is said that Tim Burton has signed a project with Daniels recently, and he has no qualification to take Joe.It is undoubtedly his best choice to promise decisively.

In fact, according to the history in memory, James Mangold does have some potential to become another Martin Scorsese. This famous Hollywood director has produced a series of films with both commercial and artistic styles, such as ”soul shifting girl”, ”fatal ID” and ”decisive battle in Yuma town” before his two films ”Wolverine”, but it's a pity that he encountered the era of blockbusters and random changes.

The most important reason why Simon attaches importance to each other is that Mangold seldom fails in business.

In addition to ”soul shifting girl” and other films with good box office reputation, even some works with low media evaluation can basically achieve very good box office. For example, Wolverine 2, which is an abusive film, has a budget of 120 million and a global box office of 410 million, but the box office has already brought huge profits to fox. Such achievements are still in the category of fox X-Men series Only after that can mangaode have the chance to produce Wolverine 3, which has a good reputation and box office. It has a budget of 97 million and a global sales of 600 million US dollars.

Obviously, in terms of budget control, Mangold is no less than Michael Bay.

This kind of director with solid foundation is absolutely the target of any film company.

In addition to three people on Simon's side and a pair of Mangold on the opposite side, there are three people on the side of this man from earth, Brett Ratner, George Clooney and Elizabeth Perkins.

Feeling Simon's attention to Mangold, Brett Ratner can't help admiring him, but George Clooney has already moved Mangold's mind about the new film.

As for Elizabeth Perkins, who is closest to Simon, even though she is surrounded by beautiful women, she is still trying to attract a man's attention without any trace. At this party, being looked at more by westrow is far more effective than saying a hundred words to other little fish and shrimp.

After talking with Mangold, Simon didn't ignore the people beside him. He turned to Brett Ratner with a smile and said, ”this man from the earth has done a good job, Brett. But I hope you can slow down. Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice will start shooting at the end of the month. I hope you can work as an assistant director for Emmerich and accumulate some blockbusters and experience What do you think of the experience in making special effects movies? ”
