Chapter 258. [Recruiting talents](1/2)
Hollywood Boulevard, the newly listed Fantasy Entertainment Company.
"Hey, Tim, how are you? How are you doing?" In the president's office, Yi Feiyang met with Tim Burton, the great director of "Planet of the Apes".
Compared with the past, this guy with a hairstyle like a hedgehog, or a guy who has been struck by lightning, has a very gloomy expression. In the past, no one invested in filming a gloomy movie, but now he is made gloomy by those movie reviews.
That's right, the movie "Planet of the Apes" has good ticket sales, with an investment of 60 million US dollars... announced to the outside world as 100 million US dollars... and a box office of more than 300 million US dollars. This kind of achievement can be said to be Tim Burton's
The best of all movies. However, compared to the reputation of his previous movies, the reputation of this drama is the worst. How bad is it? To the point where everyone on the Internet is greeting his mother!
Tim is a filial son, so he believes that no matter how bad he is in filming, it has nothing to do with his mother! Therefore, he is very angry, angry at the rudeness and ignorance of the dumb audience... Anger will lead to depression, and it will be extremely depressed!
Having said that, Tim Burton is born to be a kind of black literary director. The "Edward Scissorhands" he directed, as well as the future animated film "Corpse Bride", all imprinted his personal style. His personal style is strong,
It will make the film appear vivid and unique, but it will also make the audience feel attached to it.
For example, this time, Tim filmed "Planet of the Apes". In order to cater to the taste of the commercial market, he eliminated many scenes and scenes in his imagination, and remade the film completely according to the "Planet of the Apes" in the 1960s. If we talk about the new version and the original version,
If there is any difference, then the special effects are better and the sci-fi scenes are more realistic. Other than that, there is nothing more novel. What’s more, this movie is Planet of the Apes. Tim Burton will not shamelessly add some dogs.
The bloody "human~animal~love" plot is immoral, very twisted and perverted, although Burton secretly likes these twisted and perverted things...
But Tim's approach has seriously hurt the fans who like him. His fans are all supporters of the dark system. This time Tim did not engage in this kind of literary atmosphere, but gave in to the commercial atmosphere full of money and copper.
. This makes it difficult for them to accept. Therefore, in many movie reviews, many people wrote extreme language on the Internet about the movie "Planet of the Apes".
"Damn, is this still a movie directed by Tim? I thought it was a scene shot by a circus clown!"
"Watching this drama is better than renting a video and watching the original version!"
"The fall of Tim Burton, the triumph of business culture!"
…
There are many more violent words on the Internet, including those calling the director an "idiot", "piece of shit" and "brainless".
But it’s so weird, the more you criticize a movie, the higher its box office will be, so that by the time it is about to be released, the box office of "Planet of the Apes" has reached an astonishing more than 3
100 million!
Tim Burton is brilliant in art and a god in business!
"I don't know what words to use to describe my mood at the moment..." Facing Yi Feiyang, Tim Burton said what was in his heart. "Yes, the box office of this drama is great, but the reputation
But it’s very bad, terribly bad!”
Seeing Tim so frustrated, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder, "Geniuses in this world are often lonely and lonely, just like the great painter Van Gogh. There are very few people who can appreciate him, but he can
For sure, I am definitely your soulmate."
"Thank you, Yi. Thank you for investing in my play. Originally, I just wanted to fulfill a childhood dream of remaking this play, but the ending looks terrible..."
"Are you talking about the people who are trolling you? Oh man, don't be sad for people you don't even know. You're doing great, especially at the box office. God, you're breaking your own records, aren't you?
"Yi Feiyang encouraged.
Tim smiled and said, "Maybe you are right. My personality is too melancholy. Yes, I should be happy to have such good results."
"Haha, that's right! Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate you breaking your own box office record!" Yi Feiyang walked to the mini wine rack, took down a bottle of whiskey, opened it and poured Tim a glass himself.
The malty smell of whiskey filled the room as Yi Feiyang and Tim Burton drank freely.
After a while, Yi Feiyang asked Bolton, "Hey, man, are you interested in joining our Fantasy Entertainment Company..."
"What? Join?" Tim Burton, who was tasting whiskey, was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, it is to join. To be precise, our company needs a big director like you, so I hope you can consider my suggestion and join in, as a shareholder or as a foreign aid... work together,
How about creating a new miracle?"
"Well..." Tim Burton shrugged, "Your invitation is a bit too sudden, dear Yi. Yes, you are a good boss, but I don't want my creation to be restricted in the future. I like to shoot personal photos."
style of movies, and most of these were not blockbuster hits.”
"Haha, it's okay, Bolton, do you think I'm the kind of person who is greedy for money and ignores art? No, I'm not! To be precise, I will support your creation, because I said, I am your confidant
, Confidants should understand and help each other, right?" Yi Feiyang said with a smile as he turned his wine glass.
"But……"
"Nothing but, man...don't you still believe in my character? Aren't I happy with this cooperation?"
"Oh no, no, no, I told you, you are a good person and a good boss. Others don't dare to bid, but you gave me the chance..."
"So, Burton, let's join forces!" Yi Feiyang strongly invited again, "I can let you be in charge of your own movie. As long as the losses are not too severe, I can let you fiddle with your art!"
Tim was extremely moved by Yi Feiyang's words. Who has such courage?
"If this is really the case, then..." Tim Burton hesitated, "I am willing to join!"
"Yes! I knew you would choose this way, Bolton!" Yi Feiyang held Tim's hand excitedly. "Yes. You are an excellent director. And I will definitely become an excellent boss. We
By joining forces, we will definitely be able to create a brilliant tomorrow!"
Yi Feiyang was extremely happy in his heart. You must know that Tim Burton is the most personal and phenomenal director in Hollywood. Now that he has him under his wing, it is undoubtedly an added advantage... No, to be precise, he has added another wing.
Another one is the great director Gore Verbinski who is filming "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".
But even great people like Bolton were convinced by him, not to mention the less famous Al Gore.
Well, if we can win over super directors like Jim Raimi, Peter Jackson, and Spielberg in the future, then we will truly dominate Hollywood.
someone dreamed.
…
After Tim Burton left, Yi Feiyang sat confidently in the spacious office. The left side was full of floor-to-ceiling glass, looking at the splendid Hollywood and the entertainment world. The stars were shining and there was prosperity. Under the sky full of sunshine, he was filled with joy.
Angry and hopeful.
The sweet voice of Angel, a female secretary who is as beautiful as flowers and as capable as a computer, was hired with a high salary and said on the intercom: "Hi, boss, there is Miss Jessica at the reception desk without an appointment. Do you want to see her?"
"
Yi Feiyang was stunned for a moment. Ever since Jessica finished filming "High School Musical 2" with Pars, he had approved giving her a vacation to rest. Why would she come back now? You know, Pars was very early
Then he slipped away to Hawaii. So he responded: "Invite her in!"
Angel said: "By the way, dear Yi, people from the Fox TV news team will come to interview you in half an hour, hee! Do you want someone to apply some powder on you?"
Yi Feiyang smiled and said: "Hey, stop nagging! Do you think I'm a star?"
Angel said softly: "Not only, but also a big star!" Then he cut off the line.
After a while, the female secretary Angel opened the door, let the chocolate beauty Jessica in, and then gently closed the door.
"Hey, Jessica, why didn't you go on vacation? Didn't I give you a vacation? And the company reimbursed all the expenses during the vacation." Yi Feiyang asked doubtfully.
"It's really not easy to meet you now..." Jessica did not answer Yi Feiyang's question directly, but said, "It seems that you have really become a big shot."
"Haha, what a big shot, I'm still the same Yi Feiyang as before. Yes, except that the company has become a little bigger, nothing has changed!" Yi Feiyang came up to her, put his arms around her, and sat on the sofa in the corner.
Jessica glanced around and praised: "Yes, this office is bigger than the one you had before."
"You'd better tell me quickly why you're looking for me, little girl!" Yi Feiyang poured her a cup of coffee.
Work like this is usually done by the female secretary Angel. With his current status, there are very few people who can be served by Yi Feiyang. Jessica couldn't help but feel warm when she saw him like this.
"If anything else can happen, please give me a show!"
"No way!" Yi Feiyang almost spilled the coffee on his hand, "Are you a workaholic? You just finished filming a movie and you have to start filming again?"
"What, God knows, if I don't work hard, I'm afraid I will be surpassed by more and more newcomers!" Jessica said meaningfully.
As soon as he heard this smell of jealousy, Yi Feiyang understood immediately. It turned out that Ivanka, who played the supporting actress in "The Queen", has become extremely popular recently. Coupled with her status as a wealthy woman, her popularity has soared.
, only no more than this little girl Jessica.
But then again, I really feel a little guilty about Jessica. I used to think that this little girl was too scheming, and I was wary of her. I didn't dare to make too many movies for her as the heroine, for fear that she would quit and run away.
Therefore, she has not become very popular yet, but looking at Jessica's performance in the past two years, people have to say that she is a good actor.
"Then what do you want me to do? Help you write a script?" Yi Feiyang asked tentatively.
Jessica glared at him faintly and whispered: "If you are really serious, you will have already written it for me before I ask, right?"
Yi Feiyang knew that the little girl had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, so he smiled and said: "It's not too late now. Of course, if you don't want to, I won't be sentimental... What if you don't want to?"
Jessica lowered her head, bit her lip and said, "You know, Yi. I hate you so much!"
Yi Feiyang realized the whole meaning behind this sentence. There was a sense of teasing in his heart. In fact, deep down in his heart, he didn't know that he actually had a very ambiguous intention towards Jessica, but this intention was packaged.
Very good, it never showed up.
Girls are usually very sensitive, especially girls like Jessica who are very emotional. They immediately noticed the tone of Yi Feiyang's words and the meaning of the twinkling eyes.
To be honest, Jessica had a relationship with Yi Feiyang before because of that accident. This troubled her very much. What troubled her even more was that this bad guy didn't even know that he had slept with her! He had always ignored her.
Oh, God, this makes Jessica want to kick this idiot a few times and tell him that you took away my innocence!
Jessica has always been good at dressing up, yes, she belongs to the sexy and charming type.
At this moment, the deep neckline reveals a smooth and plump chest, and the thighs outside the mini skirt exude more thrilling charm than before.
Yi Feiyang looked at her. He suddenly remembered the last time he peeked at Jessica playing in the pool. Although he was not really ecstatic, it made him feel bone-gnawing and heart-wrenching.
To be continued...
