The Richest Man in the World of Film and Television

Ridley shook his head and said helplessly: "Well, it seems that capitalists are the same no matter they are young or not. They only care about profits, not art. William, you really deserve to be a person who can make billions. You are so rich. How to make a lot of money."

Haha, everyone laughed at what Ridley said. They didn't believe that Ridley, a guy who had been in Hollywood for decades, really didn't care about money like he showed.

There are not many people in the United States who don't care about money. There are only rich people who keep telling others not to care too much about money. They donate all their property to foundations in order to avoid taxes, and they also advertise that it is for charity.

Chapter 150. Chapter 150

Oprah asked William: "Have you ever thought about investing in the film yourself?"

William shook his head helplessly, "Of course I thought about making a film, but after learning about the operations of some major Hollywood companies, I gave up on this idea, unless I can buy a Hollywood distribution company,

Otherwise, if you really hit it head-on, you will definitely be tricked by those big Hollywood companies. There are too many tricks in it. Movies that make money will be turned into unprofitable or even lose money by their tricks. I don’t have the energy to fight with them. These Hollywood companies are messing around."

Russell, who had been sitting silently all this time, suddenly said: "William, maybe you can cooperate with me and Ridley, we are natives of Hollywood, we know all the tricks in the movie, I see this script very much, we can cooperate ".

Russell's words surprised everyone, and they couldn't help but wonder, is this script really so attractive?Even Ridley and Russell both wanted to join.

Russell's words are exactly what William wanted. Finally, when you said this, he knew that Russell had always wanted to change careers and become a director. Now there is a local tyrant and an amateur in his eyes. Who is not fooling William?

William pretended to be difficult and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "We can find a time to talk about it. Let's talk about the specifics after the talk is over."

Ridley nodded accordingly. He had been in Hollywood for decades, and the theme of pirates was not favored by people before that, but William's script, which was like a real story about the process of the movie, still moved him.

The main reason is that William spoke too clearly, even the details, which made Ridley interested in this pirate script.

Who doesn't like money, what's more, the two of them thought that William, a big local tycoon, would invest, so they felt more confident. They both thought that as long as it was operated properly, the possibility of success of this project was still very high.

But William didn’t want to make a movie by himself. He didn’t have the energy and thought. He wanted to use the movie to stir up topics and improve his reputation in the United States. With the participation of big directors and Oscar actors, this pirate movie will definitely be widely known. To preach.

With the script and the song "He's a Pirate", his popularity in the United States will definitely be higher, and William's every move will become the focus of the media.

He was thinking of fishing with the MP3 in his hand. As for whether he would catch the Apple company he wanted, he didn't know, but there was no loss in trying.

The interview finally came back to the topic and everyone talked about the Gladiator movie. After more than a month of release, Gladiator’s box office in the United States has exceeded 1.5 million U.S. dollars. Come on, maybe it can exceed 1.6 million U.S. dollars.

So today Russell and Ridley came to the Oprah talk show to solicit votes. William suddenly thought of a good idea after hearing what Russell and Ridley said, "I have an idea. Let's bet on the nomination of the Gladiator. "

Oprah nodded happily after hearing this, "That's a good idea, but William, I have to ask first, have you seen this movie?"

"God, how could I not have seen it, I watched it once in England, and I went to watch it again last night with Ambrosio." After speaking, he pointed at Ambrosio, who saw the camera Turning to her, he nodded with a happy smile.

Oprah laughed and teased: "Well, William, you are a really good boyfriend, and you will really find opportunities to help your girlfriend. How about I invite the two of you to come together again next time."

Ambrosio blushed immediately when she heard it. She got so many surprises here today. William was not so repulsive about being on the show, not to mention that it was Oprah's personal invitation, and William couldn't Publicly refused.

William said with a smile: "No problem, maybe we will come again when my MP3 is on the market, or after Ambrosio is on Victoria's Secret, I'm afraid your shows will be scheduled until next year."

"I welcome you anytime you want to come. Okay, let's go back to what you just proposed. Since it was you who proposed it, you should make the prediction first, William"

William turned to look at Russell and Ridley, who were also curious about how William predicted.

Seeing that the two didn't mind at all, William said, "My rough prediction is that Gladiator will get 12 Oscar nominations, and the final winners will be Best Actor, Best Director or Best Picture, Costumes." And visuals, if Ridley doesn't win best director then the film will definitely win best picture."

"12 nominations, are you serious William, do you know what 12 nominations means? And it's kind of rude but how can you be sure that Ridley will definitely get best director or best picture", said After Oprah said sorry to Ridley several times, Ridley didn't care. He also wanted to hear why William was optimistic about him.

William said with a smile: "Intuition, this is my intuition after watching Gladiator twice. As for the best director and best picture, if there are neither of them, I will donate 500 million US dollars to American women and children." foundation"

"Boom" Everyone was stunned by what William said. This guy really dared to say that if he really didn't win an award, then William would really donate 500 million US dollars.

If this kind of public opinion is not fulfilled, then William will not have to mess around in the future, and the world will laugh at him.

Ridley asked in surprise: "Are you serious? William, you must know that what you say must be fulfilled. I now hope that both the best picture and the best director will be awarded. That way, the $500 million will go to the Women's and Children's Fund." How many people in need can be helped under the operation of the society?"

William said with a smile: "Then what would you say if I guessed right?"

"God, this is really a difficult problem. I'm not as rich as you. How about I donate 50?" Ridley said in embarrassment, looked at Luo Suran next to him, and slapped William secretly wink.

Russell quickly understood what Ridley was thinking, looked at William with a smile, blinked his eyes and said, "Then I will donate 50 if I win the prize."

After seeing Russell and Ridley's winks, William realized within a few seconds that they were acting. After thinking about it quickly, what he said just now was indeed suspected of forcing people to donate money.

Fortunately, Ridley and Russell are indeed veterans who have worked in Hollywood for decades. They know that William's bet just now is to help them quarrel with each other to increase the movie's box office.

After realizing it, William pretended to be anxious and said cooperatively: "NO, that's so boring, so I will donate the money if the two of you win prizes, how about each of you being my driver for a day, hehe, this must be very interesting, Guys, you must be the most expensive driver in the world, $250 million a day,

I haven't tried a big Hollywood director and the best leading role to drive me, it will definitely feel very good, maybe this will be recorded in Hollywood history, and I am the leading role and you are both supporting roles, haha".

Ridley showed William a thank you for his cooperation, jumped up with a smile and clapped his hands with Russell and said, "How about Russell, I know William is a kind-hearted young man, and he will definitely be deceived by me. William, me and Russell How well did the two of Russell perform? If we can really win the best director and best leading role, we will definitely cash in the 50 donation.

Russell shook his head with a smile, "Yes, William is indeed a great guy, this ending is the most perfect, haha".

William was secretly happy. He did this to pretend to be young and inexperienced. He didn't want to appear too shrewd and monstrous in the eyes of ordinary people. This didn't match his age. A scholarly scientist with a lower EQ is in line with what the public thinks Opinions, otherwise, knowing everything and knowing everything will make people regard him as an outlier.

So William looked at Ridley and Russell with feigned annoyance, "Is this really okay? Lie to me, a pure young man", which made the audience laugh.

Only those who had dealt with William cursed in their hearts after watching the show, "Hell's pure, black-hearted can write."

Chapter 151. Chapter 150 is well negotiated

Oprah has rich experience, and she can tell at a glance that William and the three are acting, but she is very satisfied with the effect, and she cooperated with her with a smile and said: "Yes, this ending is the most perfect, William, if you donate , Then of course we hope that Russell and Ridley can win the award, 600 million dollars can help a lot of disadvantaged groups, William, I thank you for the Women's and Children's Foundation, you are a great guy."

William hurriedly got up and thanked the applauding audience, "Thank you, thank you."

After thanking the audience and waiting for the audience to quiet down, William said to Russell and Ridley: "God, you two really deserve to be a great director and the best actor, you can understand each other's thoughts with just one look," William pretended He patted his forehead helplessly, "Well, I am very happy to make some contributions to women and children. Although I was cheated, I am still willing for the sake of the lovely children. I look forward to I am very satisfied with the compensation for the day you will be my driver."

Everyone was amused by William's exaggerated tone, Russell smiled and said: "I have no problem, I really want to try what it's like to live as a driver with 250 million dollars a day, thank you, this may be the most important part of my acting career. A most special experience."

After speaking, Ridley and Russell walked up to William and hugged William. The audience was also very happy to see the result and applauded happily.
