Chapter 1092 (1/2)
With an excellent script, Hollywood insists on writing, directing and acting by itself. There are many film makers who have become famous. Stallone is one of the most legendary. Unfortunately, Peter Berg is not among them.
Not only that, this one is a big hole in Hollywood.
In history, Peter Borg's first self-made and self directed work ”bad things” ended in failure, which did not stop the ”rise” of this naturally racially gifted filmmaker in Hollywood. Over the years, he has directed more than 10 films, many of which are blockbusters of big investment and production.
However, with the exception of Hancock, starred by Will Smith at his peak, other films have basically failed, such as super battleship, deep-sea catastrophe, and even some big budget films such as jungle Rangers and bloodstained kingdom that didn't impress the audience at all.
Simon, however, loves this kind of filmmaker.
As long as you can't find yourself.
At this moment, hearing Peter Borg's confident offer, Simon was not displeased at all. On the contrary, Bole saw a thousand Li Ma's expression of regret for talent, and resolutely agreed: ”no problem, Peter, I've seen the outline of the script of bad things at breakfast. It's a great story.”
Peter Berger obviously didn't expect Simon to be so straightforward. He was a little stunned before he subconsciously said, ”but Mr. westrow, Mr. Morris once talked to me. He thinks I'm a novice...”
Simon interrupted with a wave of his hand: ”Peter, I'm the boss. In this way, I think that if bad things is done well, it's very promising to go to the Oscars. Therefore, it can be put under the banner of gaomen film and let Ella be responsible.”
Oscar?
Peter Berger was once again surprised and unavoidably excited that if his project could hit the Oscars, even the nomination would be enough for him to become famous in Hollywood.
It's just that this good thing seems to come a little easier?
Simon saw that Peter Berger didn't know how to react for a moment, so he changed the subject skillfully: ”but, Peter, if you want to direct in person? For the sake of risk, the budget must be controlled within $10 million, and the actors must be decided by us.”
That's normal.
Simon's voice fell? Even Robert Redford, who was in the audience, thought so.
Peter Borg immediately felt that things were back to normal, but he immediately said, ”Mr. westrow? 10 million dollars is too little. Frankly speaking, several other studios that are interested in bad things have more than 10 million budgets.”
”Money may be very important for a movie, but it's never a decisive factor. Peter, the catcher of the heart has only a budget of 10 million dollars. How much do the audience like this movie now? So? Collaborators are the key? Denise can help you make a great movie? At the same time, it can be successfully put to market? That's the most important thing. ”
So Simon was really worried that Peter Berg would agree on the spot, so he said, ”well, think about it, Peter. I'm looking forward to your good news.”
Simon said, deliberately ignoring Peter Berg and turning his attention to Robert Redford.
The goal must have been achieved.
Surrounded by guests? Simon didn't keep his voice down just now? He compared ”bad stuff” with ”mind catcher”, which has been on sale recently. I don't believe that other Hollywood studios will take the lead.
The noon reception lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon.
Simon stayed until the end, patiently communicating with all the filmmakers on the scene? At the end of the reception, he was about to leave, and was stopped again by Natasha Richardson, who had a chat at the beginning of the reception.
”Simon, I think you should apologize to me.”
Just after whispering girl a's attitude to Ella doechman about bad things, Simon heard Natasha Richardson's sudden words and asked with a smile, ”why?”
Natasha Richardson stares at Simon: ”you said I'll die skiing again, this It's ridiculous. ”
Simon said, ”well, I'm sorry, nata.”
Natasha Richardson's melancholy continued: ”but Simon, you've ruined my hobby. Even if you take it back now, I won't dare to ski any more.”
”It sounds very serious,” Simon said slightly. ”So, don't you work on Broadway? Next time you go to New York to invite you to dinner, it's compensation, OK?”
Natasha Richardson was stunned. Is this direct or perfunctory? Even so, her tone was a little softer unconsciously: ”Simon, this is too insincere.”
Simon raised his arm, put on the windbreaker handed over by girl a, and said with a smile, ”dinner is just the beginning. We can seriously discuss more compensation then.”
Feeling some hateful elements in a man's smile, Natasha Richardson subconsciously shook her head: ”I didn't mean that. I mean, who knows if you remember it next time you go to New York? Can't you, um, not tonight?””I'm sorry, I can't tonight, but I have a lot of things to do.”
Natasha Richardson saw that Simon's tone was serious, and the man didn't investigate some ambiguity in her words, so she had to agree.
Simon is really busy.
