America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 27 Ryan Reynolds joins

Whoosh...

At Tel Aviv Airport, a plane soared into the sky. It was a flight bound for Los Angeles.

In a dozen hours, it will land at Los Angeles International Airport.

"What? You mean you knew I would choose to go to Los Angeles?"

In the first class cabin, on the adjacent seat, Gal Gadot crossed her arms and looked at Eric with a scrutinizing face.

"Of course, I see a temperament in you, and anyone with this temperament will become a big star.

“Charlize Theron, Cameron Diaz, Meryl Streep, etc., they all have that vibe about them.”

Gal Gadot looked like she was bluffing me: "So, you are not only a vice president, but also a part-time fortune teller, able to see other people's futures?"

Eric smiled: "Why not? If I don't show up, your future will be to join the army, then enter beauty pageants, and then still come to Hollywood to develop."

"You will start with some small supporting roles, but they will be a blockbuster and leave a deep impression on people. Then you will become the protagonist and usher in the role you are destined to play. I have always believed that some actors are destined to play certain roles."

"What Marlon Brando was to The Godfather, Anthony Hopkins was to Hannibal, Chaplin was to Tramp, Travolta was to Moreno."

Fascinated by what Eric said, Gal Gadot couldn't help but ask: "Then what role do you think I am destined to play?"

"Wonder Woman!"

"What?"

"Wonder Woman, Wonder Women, don't you know?"

Gal Gadot frowned: "I seem to have heard of it, but I have no specific impression."

From the back seat, Bar Refaeli's voice sounded: "I know her, Wonder Woman is a comic book character, that DC comic, right."

"Are you still a fan of anime?"

Judy asked curiously. In her impression, people who like to read comics are all otakus. This is prejudice. ̮̦proof ͍̘̳͂͊̂̊̀͊̕͘.̷̹̦̆̆c̶ ͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̧̝̳̠͇ ͕̺̲̹̔̈́ ́՝͝m̷̗͓̽̂̌̋̌̌

"Not really. I was once taken to a comic convention and they asked me to dress up as Wonder Woman, but unfortunately we only got second place. The bear in first place was too big!"

"cool!"

Yes, in addition to Gal Gadot, Bar Refaeli also came to Los Angeles.

The day before yesterday, after Eric handed the watch and contract to Gal Gadot, the other party hurriedly returned to the small town south of Tel Aviv, her hometown of Rosh al-Ain.

After returning home, the family got into a heated argument while looking at the contract. This family was not a wealthy family. Although they lived a wealthy life, they did not know anything about the entertainment industry. Gal Gadot, a part-time model, was the only one who touched the contract. People on the side.

But even Gal Gadot has never seen such a contract, let alone whether it is true or false.

The family had no idea what would happen once their daughter actually went to Los Angeles.

Until the appearance of that watch, the old man made the final decision and let Gal Gadot make her own choice, and she chose to listen to her inner voice.

As for Bar Refaeli, although she is also a beautiful model, there are already too many such beautiful models in Hollywood. If you just walk around in Beverly Hills, you can find a lot of them.

If Gal Gadot is both feminine and perseverant, both attackable and sweet, Bar Refaeli has no special characteristics.

Although Eric thought this girl's name sounded familiar, he had no intention of taking her to Hollywood.

But Judy seemed to really like this girl, and hoped that Eric would help. Anyway, there are many characters in "The Walking Dead", so just arrange one for her. What his brother did was quite interesting.

On the plane, the two talked and laughed quietly until the window was completely dark.

At noon the next day, a Boeing landed at the Los Angeles International Airport. Looking at the person picking up the plane not far away and the stretched Lincoln that was worth a lot at first glance, the two women couldn't help but smack their lips.

"Eric, until now I can finally believe that you did not lie to me. You are really the vice president of MGM."

"What? If you suspect me, why do you follow me?"

Gal Gadot shook her head and looked at her best friend: "I don't know, Refaeli, what about you?"

"I had my doubts, but I didn't want to let this opportunity go. In Tel Aviv, I'm afraid I won't be able to become a supermodel or stand on a higher stage in my life."

Judy pinched her nose: "Don't worry, with Eric and me helping you, you will become a big star soon!"

"Really?"

"Of course, Eric?"

Eric glanced at them: "For Judy's sake, I will give you a good role, but it's up to you whether you can seize the opportunity."

"Can I also play a movie heroine?"

Eric hesitated for a moment: "It depends on the producers and directors. After all, I don't have the final say on the set alone."

"But you are the vice president, who can resist your decision?"

Refaeli asked relentlessly. She also wanted to get a promise from Eric like Gadot.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Judy hurriedly put her arm around Refaeli's shoulders and said, "Don't worry about these things. After all, the movie is not shot at once. This is my first time in Los Angeles. I will take you to buy some things first. Gadot, you can also Let’s get together.”

Gal Gadot smiled sweetly: "OK!"

………………

After sending the three people away, Eric did not return to MGM, but went directly to AK Film and Television Company. The preparations for "Sharknado" were almost completed, and now someone was waiting to meet him.

In addition, Kieron Wayans, the director of "Scary", has already read the script of "Sharknado" and decisively rejected it after reading it.

Wayans's original words were this: "Although I like to make a spoof movie, there is a difference between a spoof and a bad movie."

"And this "Sharknado" you made, please forgive me for being blunt. Look left, right, right, and down, and it's just a pile of shit, a pile of stinky shit. Whoever wants to shoot it, I can't. Taken."

According to Bemahardy and Warren, if the director's fee is increased by US$2 million, it should be possible to win over Kieron Wayans.

But it is a low-cost movie, and it is impossible to overspend by $2 million. What's more, the difference between this kind of big bad movie and the director's level is actually not big, so it's better to save some money.

Pushing open the office door, the person in the guest chair stood up immediately. This face was too familiar to Eric, it was none other than Ryan Reynolds.

"You look so young, Mr. Reynolds."

Ryan Reynolds was stunned for a moment. Shouldn't he say some polite words like hello when meeting for the first time? What the hell are you so young for!

He reached out his hand: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Cooper, I'm Ryan Reynolds."

When Eric looked at the young Deadpool, the other party was also looking at him.

"Sure enough, it's the guy in the newspaper. He should be younger than me. He's quite handsome. Damn it, what was I thinking!"

Eric made an invitation gesture: "Sit down, let's talk, Warren said you want to see me, what's the matter?"

Ryan Reynolds once again organized the language he had been thinking about for a long time: "Mr. Cooper, I read the script of "Sharknado" and to be honest..."

Seeing that the other party was hesitant to speak, Eric said for him: "It's illogical and nonsense, right?"

Ryan Reynolds nodded awkwardly, thinking that you know better.

"Yes, I know this very well. This is the characteristic of "Sharknado" and the route we want to take."

"Mr. Cooper, I'm sorry I don't understand."

Ryan Reynolds knew that "Sharknado" was a bad movie, but he still waited to see him. Naturally, he had a little expectation in his heart. All Eric had to do was convince him.

"Mr. Reynolds, for example, if you want to be popular in the entertainment industry, do you think it would be more beneficial to be a handsome and mediocre person, or an ugly and distinctive person?"

Ryan Reynolds thought for a moment: "You mean a special actor?"

"It can be roughly understood that Hollywood produces too many movies every year, but there are very few like "The Godfather" and very few like "The Room."

"The Room? What movie is that?"

"A bad movie that will go down in history, no..."

Eric suddenly realized that "Room" hadn't been released yet, just like "Perfume" hadn't been released yet.

You can fool Gal Gadot, who doesn't understand, but you can't fool Ryan Reynolds.

"To put it another way, movies like Outer Space are very rare."

Ryan Reynolds nodded: "Although I can't appreciate the movie directed by Ed Wood, it has indeed become a bad art. I think I understand what you mean."

"That's it. Good actors shouldn't be afraid of taking on bad movies. If you're really capable, you can still make it out of bad movies!"

"Mr. Cooper, what you say makes sense, but I have one last question."

"Speaking."

"Mr. Warren said that if I did Sharknado, I would be considered for other MGM movies, right?"

This issue is what Ryan Reynolds really cares about. Although "The King of Repeaters" can only be regarded as a mediocre work, it is also an opportunity that he has waited for ten years. If he wants to get such an opportunity next time, he doesn't know what to do. How long to wait.

Since MGM offered an olive branch, he wanted to grab it.

"If there is a suitable role, I will consider you. I can promise that you will be the second male lead in at least a blockbuster movie in the future. How about that?"

Hearing this, Ryan Reynolds felt ecstatic in his heart. The second male lead in a blockbuster film is far more important than the leading actor in a low-budget light comedy with an investment of tens of millions in "The King of Repetitions". The two are not on the same level. .

"In that case, Mr. Cooper, I see no reason why I should not accept your invitation."

Their hands were clasped together.

“Happy to work with!”

“Happy to work with!”

As a cliché, please don’t keep books, but pursue reading. Pursuing reading is everything!
