Chapter 321 Leonardo has a headache
"No problem, Mr. Dongye, but I need Jerry to be the producer on my side. Only he and I can work best together, and I will feel at ease when the early preparations are handed over to him!"
Chen An nodded and explained the reason why he brought Jerry here.
To be honest, it feels great to have a professional producer in Hollywood, as long as he doesn't direct you to shoot.
And that's what Jerry did.
Dongye pondered for a while and asked, "Why do you have to specifically talk about this issue?
Nodded and agreed.
"That's it, Chen. I've prepared a dinner especially for you tonight and I hope you can come."
"No problem, I'll be there on time, Mr. Higashino."
Faced with the other party's invitation, Chen An agreed.
I guess he wants to show me some of the cooking he does in his daily life, but it doesn’t matter.
It’s not that it’s inedible, at least it’s much better than the United States where there’s only barbecue.
No matter how delicious the meat is, you will get tired of it if you eat too much!
night.
Chen An brought Charlize Theron to the banquet.
There are luxury cars to pick you up in and out of the mansion in Beverly Hills, and it is easy to get lost if you walk by yourself.
"Is there a role for me?" asked Charlize Theron, who was sitting next to her.
"Do you want it?" Chen An lifted her chin, "It's a man's role, but the female lead role can be reserved for you."
"I definitely want it. I can't give it to Naomi!"
Theron took it without even thinking about it.
Chen An chuckled. If he wanted something, he had to involve Naomi.
The car stopped in front of the mansion, and Charlize Theron took Chen An's hand and entered the mansion.
As expected from the holy land of the second dimension, there is a row of maids standing in Dongye’s villa. Xiao Ri likes this thing.
Led by the maid, we entered the mansion and saw the long dining table in the restaurant filled with Japanese food.
Dongye sat in the main seat, and next to him sat a woman in a Japanese kimono and two children, a boy and a girl.
"Chen, welcome here. This is my family, my wife and my children. Both of them are your fans and love watching your movies the most."
Seeing Chen An coming, Dongye enthusiastically introduced his family and children.
The woman in kimono smiled and nodded at Chen An. Her two children, the older sister, who was eleven or twelve years old, and the younger son, who was seven or eight years old, both looked at Chen An with curiosity.
"Hello." Chen An waved and greeted the two children.
Then he pulled Theron to sit in the seat that had been prepared long ago, "Mr. Dongye, this is Theron, my female companion."
"Welcome, Miss Theron." Dongye nodded.
As Chen An's female companion, he naturally knew the Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron and was not surprised.
After the two sat down, Dongye asked them to start eating and the dinner officially began.
However, as one of the cultures in East Asia, another purpose of eating is naturally to talk about things.
After they drank a few glasses of wine, Dongye got straight to the point and said, "Chen, I hope the Yamato character can be played by someone from the Yamato ethnic group."
One of the reasons why Sony acquired Columbia, one of the six major Hollywood studios, was that it thought it could make money by making movies.
But the real purpose is to spend money to promote Xiao Ri Jue. This is the main purpose. Otherwise, they would not have spent more than 9 billion US dollars to acquire Columbia, which is about to go bankrupt.
It was such a suitable script, with important characters set in ordinary days, so he naturally hoped to use actors from ordinary days to play the roles.
Both parties are investors, but this project mainly relies on Chen An, so even though the other party gets more money, Chen An still has the final say!
"No problem." Chen An did not refuse: "The filming will also be scheduled in Tokyo, and it will be recommended by Sony Pictures."
Anyway, this is how it is, and Chen An has no objection.
"Thank you for your concession, Chen. Please rest assured that Sony will fully support the distribution!" Dongye smiled and raised his glass to invite Chen An.
Finally, he got the chance to work with Chen An. He was very happy about this rare opportunity. It was really bad to just watch Warner make money.
Due to its own reasons, Sony lacks a real pillar in the company and has always wanted to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Chen An like Warner!
Chen An did not postpone it. The other party was probably worried that he could just find actors from Huaxia to play the role. They would all have to do was speak English since they would all have the same faces.
The food at the dinner was quite good. After the meal, the other party wanted to invite Chen An to stay overnight, but was rejected.
Once again, the other party sent me directly out in a luxury car and took me back to the apartment.
Chen An was a little tipsy, and hugged the man into his arms, "I'll let you take a good look at the script later. Find a male lead who matches you and plays your ex-husband!"
"Who is it?"
"Leonardo!"
After the Oscars ceremony, Leonardo was in a state of panic.
It was already annoying enough that he didn't win the Best Actor award, and Rousi's actions brought him misfortune.
Although the impact is not great, it is still unpleasant to be ridiculed by the media.
Just when he was about to help his girlfriend ease her worries, his agent called.
"Leon, here's a script I hope you'll pay attention to!"
"Oh, what script? I'm annoyed right now. Let's read it in a few days." Leonardo rubbed his eyebrows to indicate that he didn't want to read it now.
He never lacks scripts, and he even has so many that he can't finish reading them all.
It’s not false what other actors said, that they just picked up the scripts that Leonardo didn’t want.
The agent didn't bother to talk too much: "It's an A-level production, the director is Chen!"
"What?" Leonardo stood up instantly.
He was very familiar with Chen An's name, but he didn't expect that it was him who handed over the script.
domestic.
Chen An won the Oscar for Best Director and the Oscar for Best Picture again, which caused a huge uproar.
Especially the Best Director!
Principal Zhang sighed as he read the news, "What a pity! This guy has already graduated. He won the Best Director award!"
This symbolizes the highest honor for Hollywood directors, something that even Martin Scorsese, who made "Taxi Driver", has never achieved.
I can’t hang banners anymore, and I’m still a little uncomfortable with it!
All the teachers and students in the school were shocked. It had only been less than two years since the other party graduated, but his influence was still there!
Needless to say, those in the photography department can already be regarded as legends.
The students performing the play discussed the play non-stop.
"Senior Brother Chen is definitely the best director in the country. No one else can compare to him!"
"Yes, he has won all the Oscars, including Best Director, plus the Palme d'Or. It would be great if I could be chosen to star in his movie!"
"You're overthinking it. The other party hasn't chosen a leading role in the school for many years. The last one was Senior Brother Chen Kun!"
"That's right. If I have the chance to play a supporting role, it's great. If I have to choose a leading role, I'd choose someone like Xixi. She's already a big star, don't you think?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
"."
Liu Qianqian was dumbfounded as she listened to her classmates' discussion. Her bewildered expression made her classmates laugh.
It's quite interesting to tease this underage classmate.
Zhu Yawen thought seriously and said, "What you said does make sense. Xixi is so beautiful and has already become famous. She must still have a good chance, hahahaha."
Liu Qianqian puffed her lips to show her anger at the teasing of Zhu Yawen and her classmates, but it made them want to laugh even more!
And she couldn't help but think of her awkward meeting with the other party.
I was so rude and the other girl’s mother scolded me so much that she almost forbade me to live in the school and forced me to rent a house outside the school.
Fortunately, I had to act coquettishly and persuade others to let me live in the school by myself.
Do I really have a chance to star in the other person's movie?
Like senior sister Yu Jinghong, riding a bicycle freely and leisurely, the photos will look so beautiful!
