You made me a superstar

Chapter 199 Gradual Transformation
Christian is famous internationally, especially in the three major European film festivals, Christian is almost like a god, especially the "April on Earth" at the beginning of this year, which almost swept the entire Cannes and won the gold medal. Not to mention the Palme d'Or, many Hollywood movies have become his background boards.

There is a chain of contempt subtly in the movie circle.

Literary and artistic movies look down on commercial movies, thinking that commercial movies are LOW, exuding a vulgar taste of power and wealth, and commercial movies look down on those low-budget horror movies that are blah, blah. They look down on romance movies, and think that romance movies are kind and loving. If they want box office but no box office, if they want literature and art, it is not literature and art. Not to mention the small format, there is no specific market at all...

But for Christian, this chain of contempt does not exist at all.

All the movies he makes are of high quality, even "April on Earth" which other directors don't know what to do after seeing the book, he can make people unconsciously stand up and applaud again and again.

See, this is called professionalism.

So when the audition notice for "Lamb" came out, most of the Hollywood acting circle was shocked.

Especially those young people who have just graduated from the film school, who want to hit a dead mouse with a blind cat, and want to become famous overnight, are swarming into the "Lamb" crew.

..............................

It is indeed easier to have privileges.

"Chain Saw" has been unimpeded along with "Lamb" in Lao Mei's script filing and filming filing.

When seeing the investment amount of 100 million US dollars, the relevant departments of Laomei were still a little confused. They immediately thought that "Chain Saw" was the documentary of "Lamb".

The audition booth for "Lamb" was placed in an open space in the northeast corner of Los Angeles, separated by a separation zone of a thousand square meters...

Outside the isolation zone, countless reporters and nanny cars parked the entire street, and at the same time, those crazy fans who came spontaneously also looked at their idols in front of the isolation zone, cheering bursts of cheers from time to time. Like a concert scene.

There are not many actors in the movie "Chain Saw", about ten people.

While looking at the list of characters in his hand, Zhou Yang glanced at the old American actors who came to audition. Many old Hollywood film stars, such as Robert Aini Jr., Nicholas Katie, Trasco, etc., all came to audition for "Lamb". movie now.

Thanks to the excitement of "Lamb", Zhou Yang's "Saw" crew was also packed with people. Several unselected film stars were also very curious about the movie "Saw" and came to join in the fun.

However, after seeing the Chinese director, these movie kings became disappointed.

After seeing Zhou Yang's resume and profile, the film kings were even more disappointed.

The Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution, this award is quite a sensation in China, but for Lao Mei, this award is like a leftover award...

Of course, some veteran Hollywood actors who did not give up asked about the specific split method of the movie "Chain Saw". waste time.

The salary of the protagonist of "Saw" is only [-] US dollars plus a seemingly generous percentage of the box office.

others?
The others are gone.

Isn't this an empty glove white wolf?
Which idiot actor would participate in such a crappy movie.

Therefore, there are quite a lot of people asking about "Chain Saw", but they are really willing to stop, and there are really very few actors who really talk about the plot of this movie. I kept shaking my head, feeling unreliable.

Evening of November [-]th.

"Sorry, let me think about it..."

"OK, all right."

The first day of interviews for the film "Lamb" is over.

In front of the booth of "Chain Saw", a girl flipped through the script casually, then shook her head and left the booth very politely.

Today's recruitment results for "Saw" were pretty bad. Zhou Yang stayed on the set for a whole day, either because the actor was not suitable, or the other party didn't like "Saw".

As the sun sets, Los Angeles ushers in gusts of sea breeze, full of comforting warmth.

Zhou Yang left the booth of "Chain Saw" and came to the side of "Lamb"...

Christian gave Zhou Yang a very sympathetic look.

"It's like this in Hollywood... Most of the directors who haven't become famous have come this way. I have a deep understanding of this..."

"Mr. Christian, have you ever experienced this kind of predicament?"

"I have experienced it. When I was filming the first film "Peace Day", I suffered cold reception..."

"How did it work out?"

"I changed the investment of 300 million US dollars to 3000 million, and at the same time increased the salary of the actors from 50 US dollars to [-], and promised that every actor can get a super high share..."

"Where did you get the $3000 million investment at that time?"

"I lied to them."

"what?"

"The actor..." Zhou Yang was stunned when he heard Christian's tricks.

"First trick them into coming in, first sign the contract, give them a symbolic salary after signing the contract, and then wait for the middle of the filming, tell them that the investor has withdrawn the capital, and we have no money...Everyone has Loss-averse, more than half of the filming is over, and leaving like this will definitely feel uncomfortable, so they can only stay, and even a few of them even took out money to sponsor my "Peace Day", and then I That's how my first movie started..." Christian laughed.

"Ah... this!"

"Many times, it's okay for us to make appropriate sacrifices in order to make movies... At the same time, we have to think about the method..." Christian looked at Zhou Yang's silent expression, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled left the crew.

Zhou Yang looked at Christian's back and fell into deeper thinking.

After about a few seconds, Zhou Yang stared, as if thinking of something, and chased after Christian.

"Mr. Christian, how are the actors recruited in the "Lamb" crew?"

"The core actors have all been determined..."

"Can I recommend some other actors?"

"Other actors?"

"Yes, you are in the most conspicuous place, and what you see is not comprehensive, but I am in the side, and I can understand some actors more comprehensively... Can I give some advice appropriately?" Zhou Yang sincerely Look at Christian.

"Of course it's possible. Everyone wants the movie to be successful, right?"

Christian showed a slightly deep smile after looking at Zhou Yang's appearance, and then narrowed his eyes: "However, in the next period of time, I will not personally audition in the crew, and everything will be done by my assistant director Luo Di." Decided, Mr. Luo Di is a very good assistant director, he has his own ideas, sometimes, I can't control his ideas, oh, I forgot that you haven't met, he will come to the crew tomorrow Take over part of my work...then you guys have a good chat, okay, it's getting late, I have to get in the car..."

"Uh-huh……"

Christian left in his car.

Seeing the direction Christian left, Zhou Yang stayed on the spot and thought over what Christian said over and over again. He always felt that Christian's words seemed to imply something.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Yang finally felt his head congeal slightly, and immediately called Wang Jing who had returned to Huaxia.

Not long after, Wang Jing sent Zhou Yang a detailed information about Roddy Steven.

Zhou Yang read the information several times, and at first he was a little confused, and he figured it all out at this moment!

He finally understood what Christian's hint meant!

Especially Christian's last sentence before leaving, "Mr. Roddy is a very good assistant director, he has his own ideas, and sometimes, I can't control his ideas" is almost an obvious hint!

It should be implying that although Christian signed his contract in this way, he can only guarantee that someone will help him shoot his "Chain Saw", but he cannot guarantee whether he will shoot according to his requirements or whether he can shoot well...

Compared with making a movie, it is more important to establish interpersonal relationships with the entire crew.

Only after the interpersonal relationship is established, can we use the power of the crew to make our own movies.

Afterwards, he continued to glance at the words on the information, suddenly enlightened, and then recalled the ups and downs he had experienced along the way, and suddenly had a feeling of awakening the dreamer with a single word.

Immediately afterwards, he left the crew immediately and walked towards North Avenue in Los Angeles...

........................

Roddy is a middle-aged man in his 40s, a well-known screenwriter and crew manager in Hollywood.

Part of the script for the movie "Lamb" was written by Roddy.

It was six o'clock in the evening.

After Luo Di came back from work, he found that the street lamp head that had been broken in front of his house was turned on for the first time, and it was very bright.

He was a little strange. Could it be that those damn repairmen finally got the hang of it this time?

After he got home, he saw a plate of dishes burning on the table, and his daughter Irene and the old mother were sitting on chairs looking into the kitchen.

"Ms. Irene... you can eat now."

"..."

Roddy heard a string of very broken English.

Then a young man with an oriental face came out carrying dishes.

He was a little bewildered.

Then...

He saw the young man holding the dish in a daze for a long time, looking at Roddy in disbelief.

"Mr. Luo Di, you...you are Teacher Irene's father?"

"Hello, you are..." Luo Di looked at Zhou Yang blankly, because he hadn't formally joined the crew of "Lamb" and was busy with some things recently, so he hadn't formally met Zhou Yang.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Yang, a staff member of the crew of "Lamb", um... I just came to the United States for two days, because my spoken English is not good, so I found the information of Teacher Irene on the Internet, and I want to talk to you Teacher Ailin studied English hard, but I didn't expect that the father of the director that Teacher Ailin mentioned was you..."

"Ah, hello..." Rody was stunned for a long time, then nodded subconsciously, and stretched out his hand casually.

"..."
