Sherilansing wanted to send Rite a word of shamelessness, but in the end she held back. ybdu。
Although Littlet is a little not serious, it is undeniable that this guy is already the most non-negligible existence in Hollywood at present, if he really falls in love with Nicolas Cage, it can only be said that he must have a movie role that interests Nicolas Cage.
G does not have a direct relationship, but as the company's vice president, Sherilansing is well aware that Mr.
Lei Shidong, the chairman of the parent company Viacom, is already dissatisfied with the current status quo, so it will soon lead to a power adjustment at Paramount's top management.
Sherilansing has been looking forward to that position since she joined Paramount, and she has been working hard for 17 years, but she knows in her heart that even if she succeeds in that position, it is not the time to celebrate, and how to sit tight is the key.
At that time, Paramount might have a time to ask for Lee, so it was the best choice to form a good relationship at this time.
"Okay, Mr.
Leet, I don't really care about your purpose here, but since I helped you once today, can you also help me once?"
"Gladly," Litt shrugged, "what can I do for you?"
"Do you think the box office will be good with a change of face?"
Li Te hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell Sherilansing the truth.
"It's difficult" Seeing that Sherilansing's expression became a little ugly, he then added: "Of course, the box office of this film will not be too bad, and it will even be better than John Woo's previous two works." ” This did not have much comforting effect, but fortunately, Sherilansing himself was also prepared for this result, so it was not particularly difficult to accept.
"Then what do you think of the director John Woo, please put aside the fact that you and he are both Chinese, and then objectively evaluate him."
"This should be the second problem," Leeter reminded.
Sherilansin replied affirmatively, "We were evened out just now, and now I owe you once." ” For the sake of Sherilansing's future president of Paramount, Li Tee reluctantly agreed.
Because he really doesn't want to speak ill of his compatriot, after all, John Woo's development in Hollywood is not easy, the first movie shot in Hollywood does not even have the right to edit, and finally the second movie Broken Arrow has more right to speak, but it does not accurately grasp the rhythm of mainstream commercial films in Hollywood, so the box office after the release of the film is okay, but there is obviously still a gap from the good movies in people's minds.
Now that this face change, John Woo has finally completely adapted to the rhythm of Hollywood, and this film should be regarded as his most successful work, applying the "face change" in Sichuan opera to police and gangster films.
First the police became bandits, and then the bandits became police.
Two people who have exchanged appearances and identities have begun a journey of "finding who I am" and "regaining their identity" in a sense.
Coupled with the drama of Nicolas Cage and John Travolta, as well as John Woo's violent aesthetics, the whole movie presents a very admirable quality.
John Woo has been recognized by Hollywood for this movie, but if his career development in Hollywood is compared to a parabola, then he has already reached the top when he changes his face, although the investment in his films is bigger than the other, and the actors he cooperates with are bigger than the other.
But the box office is not as good as the other. took over Mission Impossible 2, although it won hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office in the United States, but this result is obviously a significant gap compared to Mission Impossible 1, and then the Wind Whisperer invested $1.2 billion.
In the end, it ended up with a box office fiasco, and MGM was directly on the verge of bankruptcy because of its investment in this movie.
After this, John Woo obviously couldn't stay in Hollywood. can only return to the Chinese film market.
Obviously, Paramount wanted to have further cooperation with John Woo, but he was not sure if he could do it, and it happened that Lee's appearance allowed Sherilansing to seize the opportunity.
So I wanted to hear what he had to say.
"John Woo is a good director, but I think there is a very important premise for him to make a good movie, that is, to have a good screenwriter to work with him, especially when it comes to some grand movie themes, he is easy to get lost in this grand background, and then the plot of the film will lose its due coherence, of course, many Hollywood commercial blockbusters are prone to make this mistake, but I am more worried about John Woo, because of his violent aesthetics, It's easy for him to fall into the mistake of focusing only on the form and ignoring the inner plot.
At this point, I think he is very similar to Michael Bay, both of them are a little too form-oriented, the difference is that Michael Bay is at least still more able to find his own position, knowing what he is good at and what he is not good at, and John Woo obviously does not, and he is a Chinese director, I don't think Hollywood will tolerate him to make mistakes, and this is not a very fair thing in itself. ” After hearing Lee's words, Sherilansing nodded.
"What you mean is that John Woo is more suitable for making that kind of movie with a smaller theme."
That's pretty much what it means, but I think as a director, he can't be content with a little fight forever, which is why I'm a little worried about him.
G's client, with your help, may be able to avoid these failures. ” Sherilansing looked at Litt expectantly, but Litt shook his head and replied with a quote from the Bible.
"God Helps Only Those Who Help Themselves" Nicolas Cage was smoking in the lounge when he heard footsteps outside the door, thinking that the organizer had arranged a reporter to interview him, and quickly put out the cigarette again.
But it wasn't a reporter who showed up at the door, but a man of Chinese descent who looked familiar but couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"You are" "Ah, Lit."
Nicolas Cage stared blankly at Leeter for two seconds, then glanced behind Little.
"You came to me like this, aren't you afraid of being discovered by my agent?"
"I have a good relationship with the people at Paramount, so they helped arrange this meeting, and your agent, he's just going to think you're being interviewed by the media right now."
Litt walked into the room on his own, pulled over a chair and sat down.
"I've heard a lot about you, but I really didn't expect us to meet in such a situation."
There was a slight emotion in Nicolas Cage's tone, but it was clear that he was not very resistant to Littlet's sudden visit.
"I'm the opposite of you, I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time, but I'm not in front of you until now, do you know why" "Why," Nicolas Cage asked curiously.
"Because I haven't been able to find a reason to convince you before, but now I think I've found it."
Nicolas Cage crossed his legs, and after asking Little's permission, he re-lit himself a cigarette.
"Then let me guess, your reason can't be a movie character," he said, puffing out a puff of cigarette from his mouth, his tone very casual.
Littlet seemed to have guessed what Nicolas Cage was trying to say, "If I answered yes, would you find this reason not very attractive." ” Nicolas Cage doesn't deny this, "You're right, good movies and characters aren't a problem for me, even if I don't go to AG, I can still get them." ” "But can you guarantee that all these movies and roles you play will be successful?"

Nicolas Cage took the cigarette and glanced at Little, "Can you?"
"After joining AG, I can guarantee that every movie you act in is a profitable work, and your salary will continue to rise until it can no longer rise."
Nicolas Cage took a puff of his cigarette, shook his head with a smile and said, "It's a beautiful vision, but this is just your promise after all, why should I detail you" To answer this question, you have to start with what you are most lacking right now.
You're not short of fame right now, because you just won an Oscar two years ago, and what you lack most now is how to prove your box office appeal to the studios, and maybe you would say that Death Island and Sky Prison have proven that, but I have to say, it's not enough, you still lack a film that has a global impact and doesn't just make a difference at the box office in the U.S. home market, and the two films I just mentioned, obviously didn't do that. ” Nicolas Cage probably understood what Litter meant at this time.
"You have a movie like this in your hands" "You should have heard of this movie Extreme Deep Cold, it should have been about to exceed $200 million at the box office during this time, and this is only in North America, the director of the film, Stephen Sommers, is preparing a new work, the content is somewhat similar to the Indiana Jones series, the story takes place in Egypt, and the mummy is related, the heroine of the film has been determined to be played by Kate Winslet, and the actor I am most optimistic about is you."
"Can I read the script first?"
"Of course, but I have to remind you that once you are sure that you want to play this role, you must say goodbye to your current agent completely and then join the ag, otherwise we will have to say goodbye to you" "It seems that you have a lot of confidence in this film" "Do you have to tell the truth" Li Te hesitated, "In fact, in my opinion, whoever you find to play this movie can be successful, but if you play it, the benefits will be greater after success, it's as simple as that" Special statement, the evaluation of John Woo mentioned in this chapter, Frog feels that it is still very objective, friends who have read the last book of Frog know that Frog cannot say that he deliberately hacked him, but it is really a recent movie that advertises China's Titanic is actually divided into two episodes, and the plot really does not dare to compliment t1706231537:
