The Portable Farm in the Siheyuan
Chapter 178 Discovering Actresses
There are a lot of things going on in London. The sports club matters are very simple. The focus is on the construction of the urban complex, as well as the media integration work of the acquisition and the work planning of EMI Records.
Of course, there is also the renovation work of his London mansion. With his money and pressure, the construction company cooperates extremely well. After all, they are not stupid. They are the general contractor of the complex. How can they dare to neglect the big boss's private mansion?
However, it is impossible to complete it completely. At present, the main construction is almost completed, and the rest is indoor and outdoor decoration. This can be completed within the deadline, but there is no rush.
As a result, Mo Bin, a big boss, still stays in hotels in London. Fortunately, the service and environment of the Savoy make him quite satisfied.
He further refused the arrangement of the butler David Cooper and did not ask for any entourage. The young butler Louis could only take the driver with him and the guards were on standby.
In addition to acquiring newspapers, he has also not let go of London film companies. Although there is a gap between them and Hollywood in terms of future development, he cannot let go of this aspect. After all, the future layout needs the European market as well. Relatively large.
Judging from the information provided by Standard Chartered, he chose a company that has a little impression of the future, which is Hammer Film Production Company. It is considered good to be ranked high in Europe in the future. Some famous companies are now It's not established yet.
Hammer Films is famous for its vampire and horror films in the future, especially in the 1960s and 1970s. Are they particularly fond of this subject?
Hammer, the shareholder founder, is actually a comedian. There is no other way to make a horror movie. One is the need of the times, and the other is the reality.
In this era and the next ten years or so, the world will be dominated by B-level movies. This is a choice given to the market.
The reality is that there is a financial problem. Their funds are very limited. They only have one shooting location, a Gothic manor, and they can only keep writing scripts according to horror movies!
This also reflects a problem, that is, the management of this film company is wise and talented, and can survive and develop in adversity.
Mo Bin, a big financier, is also the big boss of Universal Pictures in Hollywood. Hammer Films cannot refuse. Funds are very important, and resources are even more important. Universal Pictures is aggressively acquiring theater chains in North America. This news has been reported.
The negotiation was relatively smooth, but Hammer proposed to retain 10% of the management shares, and Mo Bin agreed to him. After all, he was the founder, and without a sense of accomplishment, he would have no motivation.
Compared to other industries, Mo Bin prefers to go here. After all, he knows more and knows the future development direction. He will not take detours. Of course, he will use his authority as the big boss to point out the development direction for them.
As soon as the funds were injected, these elites couldn't wait to launch new projects. Of course, Mo Bin was unwilling. My money didn't come from the strong wind. The script must be unanimously approved by the management, and the selection of actors must also be discussed to prevent them from doing so. Recklessly.
Mo Bin, who happens to be free, is at Hammer's headquarters right now, helping to choose actresses. This is an urban comedy film that Hammer has planned for a long time. Mo Bin read the script and found that the highlights and laughs were not enough. It belongs to the type of capital preservation and profit making, and will not lose money.
As his first major production after becoming a shareholder, Mo Bin of course hoped to become an instant success, so he simply made the move, referring to the 63 British box office champion "Mary Poppins Returns", which is a story that took place in London and was popularized by Hollywood movies. The company makes money for the filming.
This is a light-hearted comedy film, which is also suitable for Hammer and his team. The characters in the film are all outstanding, and the heroine is also very beautiful. Later generations invested heavily in filming the second film.
Mo Bin is currently interviewing the heroine. What makes him confused is the interviewer opposite, a very beautiful beauty named Diana Rigg? Bond girl?
The 22-year-old Diana Rigg, with a height of 174cm and a delicate face, is definitely a beauty. She has just graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and is looking for various opportunities.
This classic movie, strictly speaking, can be regarded as a musical. It sings at every turn and dances when not paying attention. The plot is very simple and does not require high acting skills.
The fairy nanny Mary was originally played by the experienced Julie Andrews. Her acting skills could surpass the newly graduated Diana by nine, but she was inferior to her beauty.
"Miss Rigg, please perform this part for me." Mo Bin said to this beautiful girl, and he decided to give her a chance. This future acting master, winner of the Emmy Award, was also Made a Dame.
"Thank you, His Excellency Viscount Douglas, can you give me a few minutes to prepare?" Diana Rigg was a little nervous. Facing the super rich and handsome Viscount Sean Douglas, a fledgling girl like her was extremely nervous.
She knew very well that the person sitting across from her was not only a screenwriter, but also the boss of Hammer Films. He was also the sole boss of Universal Pictures, one of the top ten film companies in Hollywood. The newspapers had been reporting on it recently, and the popularity was always high. Keep it.
Such a big shot is still a young aristocratic bachelor, with a handsome young face and a tall and slender figure, which is attractive enough in itself. Coupled with so much halo, what girl would not be pregnant? Not to mention beauties who want to enter the entertainment industry!
"Of course there is no problem. Don't be nervous, give it your best performance, I'm optimistic about you!" Mo Bin smiled and comforted her. He was optimistic about this girl, and was ready to sign a contract with Universal Pictures and become a beautiful star of his company.
The most popular one at the moment is probably Elizabeth Taylor, and the other one is Audrey Haopen. These two beauties are both notorious figures. Mo Bin doesn’t have a penchant for dishonest, and he doesn’t even have the weird idea of collecting stamps. He simply can’t avoid them. .
The beautiful Elizabeth Taylor is currently filming the famous Cleopatra. Speaking of this epic masterpiece, she could write several novels!
This film was produced by 1959th Century Fox. Filming started in 1962 and was completed in 251. The length of the film is minutes.
影片分别在鹰国和意呆利进行拍摄,制作成本达到惊人的4400万美元,要知道1962年上映的第一部007电影《007之诺博士》制作成本仅110万美元!
Therefore, the production cost of "Cleopatra" could have produced 40 007 movies. Therefore, the movie "Cleopatra" was an unimaginable top-notch big-budget movie at the time.
The film was released in October 1962. Unfortunately, after its release, the box office could be described as a disastrous failure. It only earned 10 million U.S. dollars. This box office result directly brought 2600th Century Fox to the brink of bankruptcy. They originally wanted to follow suit, but they ended up being miserable. Got it!
The film was nominated for nine Academy Awards in 1964 and won four.
Elizabeth Taylor, the heroine of the film, spent US$19.48 on makeup and decoration alone. The crew made 65 sets of costumes for her, and one set was made of 24-carat gold fabric, which can be said to be extremely luxurious.
The producer, Fox, claimed that it had given her a sky-high salary of one million US dollars. This price was also very outrageous and completely exceeded the normal salary in Hollywood.
The heroine Elizabeth Taylor and the hero Richard Burton in the film made a film together for the first time, and they fell in love because of the movie.
Since then, they have co-produced 11 movies together. Their relationship was not very stable. They got married twice and divorced twice, but they still did not get together in the end.
Elizabeth Taylor was a complete scumbag. She would marry her lover whenever she saw someone she fell in love with. She was married eight times in her life, and she didn’t know how many lovers she had.
