Rebirth in America

??

The script for "Planet of the Apes" was quickly sent to Brigitte. Before sending it out, Morse found someone to print out several copies of the original manuscript. Morse kept the original manuscript and sent out copies.

Brigitte didn't get everything, but only her part. When she saw her part, she was almost shocked because there were almost no lines for her in it.

"Is this script correct?" Brigitte complained to Nick's agent: "As a heroine, I just stand next to the hero like a mute woman! What's the point of such a movie! I might as well go Play that female gorilla!”

Nick took Brigitte's script over and after reading it, he felt that such a heroine was a complete loser. There are only a few lines, and anyone can play the role as long as they have a good figure and are pretty.

Judging from the storyline, this movie is quite interesting. If it is rejected because the heroine has few roles, it will definitely affect future cooperation with DreamWorks.

"Haha, don't worry! Why don't you ask Alex out and have a chat with him. Maybe I can modify it for you?"

Brigitte shook her long blond hair and smiled at Nick: "Do you want me to convince him that it would be better to have more scenes?"

"It doesn't matter if you can't convince him! I think you like him quite a lot!"

"Any normal woman will like him. He is young and handsome. What's more, he has a lot of money and is talented. Where can I find such a man? Hehe!"

Nick touched his chin, looking thoughtful: "Are you planning to find him as your backer?"

"Oh, what you said is too harsh. What is a backer? I just want to be friends with him. Of course, if he is willing to marry me, that can be considered!"

When Brigitte said this, she pursed her lips like a little girl, biting her rose-red lips gently with her white teeth, giving her an indescribable charm. Normally when ordinary people see Brigitte like this, they feel suffocated and their heart beats faster. Even my IQ has plummeted a lot.

Only men like Nick would not be deceived by her appearance. He could see clearly from the sidelines that those men thought Brigitte had big breasts and no brains, but in fact they were all wrong.

Brigitte is a scheming woman. The reason why she can't wait to marry Hua Ting is because she knows what kind of man Hua Ting is. She also knows that her marriage to Hua Ting will be of great help to her career. . As expected, Brigitte became prosperous in the film industry because she had a famous director like Hua Ting behind her.

If it weren't for Hua Ting, this guy loves the new and hates the old. If you fall in love with other women. Maybe Brigitte will still make the other party's collection honestly.

Yes. Brigitte has known Hua Ting's problem for a long time, and she thinks there is nothing wrong with becoming the other party's collection of beauties. At least until she wants to get married, this marriage will be beneficial and harmless. Socializing in the film community is. Hua Ting can also be her shield, blocking many wild bees and butterflies.

After the divorce, Brigitte once wanted to find someone to rely on.

She had considered marrying other people, including famous directors, musicians, and billionaires.

At least the German billionaire has been chasing after him, and he seems to be quite a good person. But when Alex appeared, her mind immediately changed. When there was a better choice, Brigitte immediately stopped considering other people. Instead, it turned to a new goal.

Brigitte liked to stand in front of the incandescent lights, to appear on the screen, and to be looked at.

In order to satisfy herself, she hopes to climb higher in the entertainment industry, in this case. She needs a reliable shoulder to lean on.

The only bad thing about becoming a star is that too many people are spreading random speculations about her. Many things have never happened at all, but they are said to be false.

"Hey, it's really annoying. It's okay for those men to like me. Why do they think so bad of them!"

Brigitte felt very angry when she thought of those ridiculous rumors. Sometimes, she really wants to leave the entertainment industry. Her heart is filled with feelings of love and hate for this place.

But for Alex, she was really emotional. At least the first impression was very good. He didn't want other men to see him like Brother Pig, showing off all his expressions. Not to mention using her hands and feet, when she held Alex's arm, she already knew that he didn't have another woman.

"Hehe! How can the man I like run away? There's no way out!"

The next day, she made an appointment with Alex alone and went to visit Paris together.

This time there were no light bulbs like Nick and Maurice around. The two of them were holding hands like a couple, visiting shopping malls, entering amusement parks, watching movies, etc.

Brigitte is worthy of being a woman among women. She easily breaks through a man's defense line and sticks to Alex's side naturally. It was as if the two of them had known each other for a long time and had a close friendship.

During this process, the behavior of the two people did not have any pornographic content, just like two very close friends, fighting and laughing. The day passed quickly, and it seemed that I hadn't had enough fun, and it was night all of a sudden.

They found a place to sit down and eat. At this time, Brigitte suddenly raised the issue of the heroine's role.

"Less? No!"

Alex glanced at her and thought that if the original version was followed, Brigitte would have fewer lines. He deliberately added more details to the current version. When he watched this movie before, he always felt that the male protagonist fell in love with an idiot beauty, which made him feel very unhappy and boring.

Now that I have the opportunity to take pictures myself, of course I have to change it.

But if Brigitte wants more lines and scenes, that's absolutely impossible. This will destroy the entire background of the story and create huge loopholes that cannot be justified.

Alex naturally cannot compromise on such matters. Even if the other party is a beautiful woman, he cannot modify the script in order to please the woman.

Seeing that she could not convince the other party, Brigitte finally gave up her efforts. Fortunately, there was no estrangement between the two of them, and they had a great time.

When it came to *o'clock in the evening, they parted and went their separate ways.

After Alex returned to his residence, he started the hard coding work again. Of course, he didn't have to work all night, but he still had several scripts to type out.

The story structure and details of these scripts have already been perfected in his mind, and he just needs to keep typing.

In fact, his performance has already made Morris feel amazing, even though the other party has long accepted the concept that Alex is not an ordinary person. But whenever I see something like this happening, I still get a little shock.

Especially this series of movies, one link after another, finally forms a perfect Moebius circle, and people will be shocked by the content after watching it.

Of course, Alex will not write those movies exactly as they are, but based on his own movie experience, he will enrich many details and make up for some deficiencies.

Not only does it have a circular structure on a macro scale, but even within a single movie, various circular storylines can be seen everywhere. It makes people feel that the screenwriter's conception is so delicate and detailed. After watching it once, I want to watch it a second time. Find a variety of meaningful storylines.

Of course. It's impossible for him to write scripts all day long. In addition to going out to parties with Morris and meeting many independent producers and directors in Europe, I also met many European actors and came back with many business cards.

Since coming to Paris, France. Basically, I party a lot and rarely go out to play. It took two weeks before Morris told him that he was going back to the United States.

"Oh? Is it done yet?" Alex asked.

"Yes, I have basically met with people I know, as well as those I don't know and those who have recently appeared. All that's left is to go back and wait for the opportunity. There are still many talented people among these people. They If you want to develop in the United States, you will definitely come to our Dream Factory to try it out first."

Morriss spoke slowly, saying that he now manages DreamWorks very well. There is a huge talent pool of all kinds, whether directors, actors or other personnel, they all regard DreamWorks as a good place.

In addition to the perfect rules and regulations of the film company itself and the good treatment given, Morris's personal connections also played a big role in it. At least those directors are looking for studio investment. The first thing that comes to mind is their company.

DreamWorks has released a number of blockbuster movies in recent years, some of which Alex had never heard of. Maybe it was due to the changes he brought to the world, or maybe he was ignorant. In short, DreamWorks was still running well without his interference.

Of course, Alex usually takes some time to read some scripts. If he finds a movie script that has great influence in history and is a hit, he will mark it as a priority. Through this method, he really found a lot of good movies, such as horror and suspense movies such as "The Record" and "Rear Window" directed by Hitchcock.

There are also inspirational movies, such as "The Ballpark", "The Bridge on the River Kwai", "The Diary of Anne Frank", "12 Angry Men" and so on.

One of the films with the largest investment was William Whitt's epic "Ben-Hur", which cost a total of US$15 million. After Morris got the script, he almost rejected it outright. After all, DreamWorks has never invested in a movie worth more than 10 million yuan. For such a high investment, he was worried that he would not be able to recoup the cost.

During this period, the American Hollywood film industry was in a period of decline. Many film companies were closing down and even the Big Three were unable to hold on. William Whitburn planned to try DreamWorks first, and if that didn't work, then look to MGM.

Director William has a very wide network of contacts. Once he has the script, he will naturally not worry about finding people to film it. Unexpectedly, this epic blockbuster "Ben-Hur" stopped most movie companies. Even film companies such as MGM, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros., which have dominated Hollywood for decades, are hesitant.

Only MGM was willing to consider it. At this time, MGM was about to collapse and internal debates continued. One party believes that even if the investment fails, it doesn't matter. If it has gone bankrupt, it is not afraid of another debt. The other side believes that it is impossible to add insult to injury, and that fifteen million without investment is something that has never happened in the history of Hollywood.

When Alex learned about this, he jumped up with excitement. Of course he knew the movie "Ben-Hur". You know, Hollywood was in decline at this time. If Director William hadn't made this hugely expensive epic movie, saved MGM, and pointed out a way for other film companies, future generations might not be able to see it. Hollywood dominates the world.

"I must make it! Maurice, call William quickly! Tell him that DreamWorks has decided to shoot this movie!"

Before Morris could answer, he immediately said: "Oh, forget it! I'd better call him in person!"

At this time, MGM was still hesitant, but DreamWorks made a decisive move and took down the "Ben-Hur" script. In fact, in just a few days, they will be forced to go down the drain because of their increasingly bad financial situation.

You know, although this epic film cost as much as 15 million U.S. dollars, the U.S. box office alone was as high as 70 million U.S. dollars, saving MGM, which was about to go bankrupt at the time.

In November 1959, "Ben-Hur" caused a huge sensation after it was released. The box office was rising steadily. Seeing this situation, the original MGM executives felt regretful. They had a chance to come back to life, but after a little hesitation, they missed it.

On the one hand, DreamWorks has won a great victory, with a steady stream of profits from various movies. On the other hand, MGM liquidated its accounts and applied to the court for bankruptcy procedures. It can be seen that sometimes if you make a mistake, you will make a mistake every step of the way.

Fast forward to 1960, and "Ben-Hur" won 11 Oscars, setting a record in Oscar history. People seem to have seen the scene of "The Sound of Music" reappear, and they all exclaimed that DreamWorks has become a behemoth in the film industry, and no one can stop it anymore.

At this time, DreamWorks took advantage of the situation and announced its investment plan for the "Planet of the Apes" series of movies. They announced that they would invest US$15 million in it. This suddenly attracted everyone's attention, shocking other companies and making them uneasy.

After the epic blockbuster "Ben-Hur", DreamWorks' move has accelerated the pace of other companies investing in blockbusters.

With such examples, people understand that it is not that Hollywood movies have lost their charm, but that the tastes of the audience have improved. With many entertainment methods such as televisions, if the quality of movies is not as good as TV programs, then people You won’t spend money buying tickets to watch movies.

Those major film companies are planning and preparing such investment plans in an attempt to attract audiences to cinemas again in the high-end market. But what I didn't expect was that before they could complete their preparations, DreamWorks had already taken the lead and continued to dig deeper into high-investment, high-quality movies.
