Hollywood Lover Chapter 175

It can be seen that Zhang Dongcheng is definitely a very thoughtful and adventurous person, maybe I can really succeed with him!

"Script?" Zhang Dongcheng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but have an idea in his mind that he couldn't believe. This script will not be the **** of death, will it? If it is really the script of this movie, then he will win everything!

But count the time, it seems that it is only 1997. And Reaper seems to be filmed in 1999 and released in 2000. Isn't the interval of time a little too long?

"Of course!" Although he didn't express any hope in his heart, Zhang Dongcheng, who was very interested in Huang Yiyu, still agreed. Even if it wasn't the God of Reaper, he would still be able to refuse later, but if it was really the God of Reaper who came to this low-budget, big-paying movie, then it would be a big regret if he missed Zhang Dongcheng!

"Great!" Huang Yiyu said, reaching out to touch her side. His movements suddenly stopped, and he explained embarrassingly: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Smith, I came a little suddenly this time, and I didn't bring the script. How about it, how about I tell you the script?"

Zhang Dongcheng nodded. Quietly listening to Huang Yiyu's narration.

When Huang Yiyu just said the beginning, Zhang Dongcheng held his breath! It's true, I didn't guess wrong! It really is the **** of death that he didn't even dare to think about before!

"Alex failed to escape the pursuit of death in the end. He died under a billboard in Paris, France!" Huang Yiyu roughly told the story, and finally concluded: "I didn't let Claire die, if If this movie is successful, we can develop the plot of the next one along this line."

After saying this, Huang Yiyu looked at Zhang Dongcheng with some anxiety. "What do you think of the story, Mr. Smith?"

Zhang Dongcheng has long been lost in thought. He really can't understand why the script of this movie was created so early. This is unbelievable wow!

"Excellent! The story is captivating and I think it would definitely work if it were made into a movie!"

"Really?" Huang Yiyu was recognized by others for the first time in the movie Death Comes. He immediately became a little excited, and said with hope in his tone: "Then, I don't know if Mr. Smith is willing to contribute to this movie." For movie investment, I can give you the copyright of the script for free, but the only requirement is that I need to direct this movie myself!"

Huang Yiyu's approach is somewhat similar to that of Cameron back then. He also took the script of the Terminator and obtained the right to direct at a cost of nothing.

"Of course you can!" Reaper is definitely a sharp weapon for raising money, with small investment and high profits. Now that he met him, Zhang Dongcheng had no reason to let him go.

But now he still needs to be busy on The Matrix, so it is naturally impossible to be distracted. So he explained: "But I'm afraid it won't work now. James, you should know that my company has just been established, and I don't have a lot of funds. Because of the shooting of The Matrix, I can't take out money to invest. If you trust me , then join my company. When my movie is released, I can assure you that I will let you shoot Death Coming. How about it?"

"This..." Huang Yiyu hesitated. He hasn't worked for a long time now. What is the salary like when you join Zhang Dongcheng's company? This is what he cares most about. Although Huang Yiyu grew up in the United States, he was somewhat influenced by Chinese culture.

The way of thinking that a gentleman refers to righteousness and a small person refers to benefit has always occupied a part of his heart.

Zhang Dongcheng seemed to see Huang Yiyu's embarrassment, and immediately said: "After you join my company, you will be a full-time employee of the company. You will receive the salary of the deputy manager of the department. How about it?"

Huang Yiyu completely lost any scruples, nodded, and said, "Okay then, thank you Mr. Smith!"

After successfully recruiting Huang Yiyu to his subordinates, Zhang Dongcheng was in a great mood. However, he still had some doubts in his heart. Why was the script of Death Coming created so early, but it was delayed until 1999 before it was picked up by New Line Films?

"James, when did you create this Matrix script?" Zhang Dongcheng looked at Huang Yiyu suspiciously and asked.

"Actually, I adapted this script." Huang Yiyu was not embarrassed at all, and explained directly to Zhang Dongcheng: "The inspiration for this script comes from the creativity of Mr. Jeffrey Vidic. Originally, Death Comes is "X The backup script of "Files", but for some reason, this script was abandoned, and I finally adapted it into the current story!"

Hearing that the script was changed, Zhang Dongcheng was really surprised. He asked with a worried face: "James, I'm sorry, I want to ask you a question in advance, will there be any copyright disputes about this script?"

"Of course not!" Huang Yiyu knew that Zhang Dongcheng was also worried that once Reaper Comes was released in the future, it would cause copyright disputes and affect the company's reputation. He immediately explained: "Director Smith, I can say with certainty that the script of Reaper is completely mine!"

Zhang Dongcheng breathed a sigh of relief, and explained: "That's good, James, I hope you don't blame me for being too suspicious!"

"How could it be?" Huang Yiyu shook his head and said, "Director Smith's reaction is completely normal. Before some companies heard that my script was an adaptation of a script that was abandoned by a TV series, they didn't even read the script. Drive me away. Your suspicion is also a normal reaction!"

"James, come with me, I'll take you to meet the people in the company!" Zhang Dongcheng took Huang Yiyu back to the mummy's audience chair, and introduced Adaman and others to him.

Not long after, the Oscars are finally about to open.

The hosts of the Academy Awards usually choose some talk show entertainers, because such people can set off the atmosphere. At least it will not make everyone feel that the awards ceremony is too long, dull and boring.

The presenter of the Oscars is Billy Crystal, one of the most versatile entertainers in the showbiz. He has been in the film and television industry for many years, and has worked as a screenwriter, director and producer. In the beginning, this guy rose to fame with TV talk shows and comedy shows.

After the scene fell silent, Billy Crystal stepped onto the rostrum. Standing in front of the microphone, he rubbed his palms together and said, "It's been a long time since I've been here. Come to the world of Hollywood, home of secret lies!"

Everyone present burst into laughter.

Billy Chris touched his nose and said: "This year we are in the Holy Auditorium, the only theater in the United States that has not played "Star Wars."

This kind of kind ridicule caused everyone to laugh again.

"But I'm very happy to be back hosting! This year is a bit like the Sundance Film Festival." Billy Chris pressed his palm, waited until the laughter faded away, and continued: "This year's situation is a bit different. Follow me The hosting was a little different this time around! There was Warren and Barkini back then, and there was music."

"In the past years, the works of big companies were nominated for Oscars. It was really a strange time!" Billy mocked the big Hollywood companies again. Finally, the topic turned to Zhang Dongcheng and others.

"This year is a bit different. Not only is it the year of independent films, but there are also a lot of new faces. I said, they are really new faces!" Billy made a serious expression, changed the subject, and asked: "You all who is it?"

His words also caused a lot of laughter again.

Sitting below, Zhang Dongcheng and other newcomers who participated in the Oscar for the first time showed helpless smiles. This is the case at the Oscars, you have to accept all kinds of teasing from the host. But Billy at least has a bottom line. Will not make some excessive jokes.

"Let me tell you who they are." Billy finally got serious and stopped showing off his comedic talent. "They were very talented. Some people still carpooled because of the low budget. But great movies, not often Great movie, adventurous plot, great director and script. Like "The Mummy" by our Chinese guy Smith Chang!"

Speaking of this, Billy seemed to think of something suddenly, touched his forehead with his right hand, and said distressedly: "Sorry, I remembered wrongly, Smith Zhang's film budget is not low, it is a big production of more than 80 million US dollars. Oh my God! It would be great to let me take the money!"

Hearing Billy mention his movie, Zhang Dongcheng smiled and applauded. Adaman even blew his hooligan whistle, attracting everyone's attention.

"Of course, Smith Zhang is a very talented and talented person, and he also did not disappoint his investor, Universal Pictures. This movie ranked fourth in the top grossing movies of last year! Definitely made investors a big profit Pen!" Billy broke the news about the mummy's honor here, and continued: "Oh, I really wish I made this movie!"

There was thunderous applause in the venue, as if congratulating Zhang Dongcheng on his first work in Hollywood, which was a great success.

"Smith is indeed an excellent director. His first work made a big fuss in Cannes, and even caused the Chinese government to issue a diplomatic protest against France. Let many people know that France is a country of racial discrimination. The country is not suitable for the development of filmmakers!" Billy ridiculed the declining European film festivals without any scruples.

"Oh! I almost forgot again. Smith's first film was a thirteen-minute microfilm. It didn't even make a dime at the box office. It seems to be the product of Mr. Smith's bankruptcy!" Billy said. It is indeed admirable.

The corners of Zhang Dongcheng's mouth twitched helplessly, but unfortunately he couldn't stop Billy from continuing. And Zhang Dongcheng had no reason to stop it. After all, although Billy really teased himself, it might as well be a way to make himself famous.
