[US Entertainment] 1994

The actors have been confirmed, and for the crew of "Unruly Sky", funding has become the only problem. With money, the crew can build a production team, and the movie has the possibility of appearing on the big screen.

Producer Lori Parker lost a lot of hair in anxiety.

She tried her luck at almost all the film studios, and brought the script and cast list. However, the investors were still interested when they saw the name of River Phoenix, and they immediately pushed Lori Parker away when they saw the word homosexual. , relentlessly.

This is Lori Parker's first major project as a producer, and she doesn't want it to end badly at all.

After hitting the wall several times in a row, Lori Parker decided to try her luck at New Line, an independent production company that has achieved quite good results in the field of production and distribution even though it has only been established for less than 20 years.The production cost of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" released in March this year was only 3 million U.S. dollars, and the starring actors were all third-tier, but it earned more than 1500 million U.S. dollars at the box office, even surpassing the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" that made Julia Roberts so popular. "Pretty Woman", one thing Luo Li is sure of is that the new line is definitely not short of money.

But which of those rich and powerful film companies is short of money?It's just that they would rather spend tens of millions of dollars on bad movies, hoping to make a big difference, but they don't want to spend a few million dollars to give independent producers a chance.

Just after coming out of the office, Lori Parker suddenly received a mysterious call.

"I'm Carlos Ross. I heard that your new movie is going to be invested. Come to me and I will invest money for you."

The man hung up the phone after leaving an address.

At first, Luo Li thought that someone was joking with her. After all, many people knew about her investment in "Unruly Sky" recently, and the voice on the phone obviously belonged to a young man. In Hollywood, how many young people can suddenly Come up with millions of dollars?Unless he's the offspring of a rich man, or a German who wants to come to Hollywood for a piece of the pie...

Suddenly, a figure flashed in Luo Li's mind.

Carlos Ross, Carlos Ross...

Steve Ross!

The president of Time Warner has made drastic mergers and reforms since he bought the shares of Warner Bros. in the 60s. He established Warner Communications, bought DC Comics, and merged Warner with Time Group, making it truly a collection of movies, TV, A giant entertainment group integrating radio, music and magazines.

In addition to MGM, the Big Seven in Hollywood are backed by large groups, with their own cable TV channels, stable distribution channels and sources of funds, and Time Warner's current grandeur is created by Steve Ross.

If she remembered correctly, Carlos Ross was probably... the grandson of Steve Ross?

Lori Parker screamed first, and then began to wonder.

She did submit the script to Warner, but the person in charge of Warner has already pointed out that she refused to invest, and "Uninhibited Sky" is just a small project that cannot be smaller, it is nothing to the giant Warner, so what? Will it get Carlos Ross' attention?

But now that someone is willing to invest, Lori Parker's anxiety has finally eased a little, because she was worried that the person on the other end of the phone was not the real Carlos Ross, so she went to the Internet to search for Carlos Ross's appearance, and arrived at the agreed place Later, Lori Parker found out that she was not dreaming. It was Carlos Ross himself who was on the date. He was willing to provide 300 million US dollars for "Uninhibited Sky", which was higher than what Lori had expected. $50 is enough for Gus Van Sant to use his talents to make a classic film!

"Mr. Rose, I appreciate your willingness to invest. May I take the liberty to ask why you are willing to make this film? I am not questioning your vision. In fact, I have great confidence in this film, but many people do not. Think so."

"Because—" Rose's speech was not fast, but had a unique rhythm, "I'm very interested in an actor."

Luo Li suddenly looked at him suspiciously, but Carlos Ross was unwilling to say any more, and sat silently aside, like a silent statue.

Lori Parker suddenly felt that this investor was a bit strange, but the second-generation rich men had their own tempers, and it was not something a small investor of her level could interfere with.

Now that she got the money, Lori Parker was naturally ready to leave, but she invited Carlos Ross to have a meal together, but was rejected by the other party. Before leaving, Lori Parker extended her hand, intending to shake hands with Carlos Ross , but before the palm touched the opponent's fingers, the opponent retracted like lightning. A moment later, a deep voice sounded above Luo Li's head: "Sorry, I'm not used to being in contact with people."

Luo Li, who was still embarrassed just now, quickly accepted the answer, otherwise the atmosphere would only be more embarrassing.

When she was leaving, Luo Li glanced at it. Sure enough, although Carlos Ross was followed by two bodyguards, the distance between him and the two was more than one meter... and just now, although she and the other party were discussing investment matters , but she clearly remembered that the other party's chair seemed to be far away from the table.

Ms. Producer does not think that Carlos Ross' performance is deliberate humiliation. In fact, during the negotiation process, this Mr. Ross has always been humble and polite, and his eyebrows and eyes are also very flat, without any domineering. Now Instead, she wondered about the identity of the actor Ross was interested in.

Cherilla Catherine?

It was indeed a pretty girl, and very young, Italian, but love knew no borders, and it was quite possible to attract the attention of Carlos Ross.

………………

Josh has been in a very happy mood these past few days. He first won the role, and within a few days the crew actually notified him of the time and location of the shooting. This completely relieved Josh, who had been worried that the funds would not be in place.

The thing that made him happiest was that the system that had been doing nothing except silently mocking Josh had finally changed, and the zero on the progress bar had finally changed to one hundred, which meant that Josh had completed the task and could Received mission rewards.

Josh locked the door, released the system interface, and opened the reward column.

Sure enough, he got a chance to play with a super acting party, and the actor who was selected by the system was——Anthony Hopkins.

Josh grinned and jumped off the bed.

Sure enough, he was not disappointed!

Anthony Hopkins is a representative of perverted actors in Hollywood. He won the Oscar for best actor in "The Silence of the Lambs" after only playing for more than ten minutes, even overshadowing his co-star Jodie Foster.

Although Josh admires actors like Al Pacino more, every actor who can win an Oscar in the competition is a representative of the powerful faction, especially in the actor department, compared to the actress department, their The competition is much fiercer.

However, Josh was only happy for less than a minute. The system interface moved again, and the rewards for completing the task had been placed in Josh's personal interface. Josh could take it out and use it at any time, but what followed was New tasks released by the system——

The moment Josh saw the content of the mission, he choked on his own saliva, rolled his eyelids helplessly, and poked the system desperately: "Brother, at least give me some way to survive?"

God, he shouldn't have installed this goddamn system out of a moment of greed, and now this goddamn thing is enslaving him.

Nominated for a Golden Globe, with a mission time limit of a year and a half?

Hehe, it is impossible to hold the Golden Globe Awards twice in one and a half years, which means-he will have to be nominated for the Golden Globe Awards next year?

A question mark flashed on Josh's forehead, and his heart was instantly overwhelmed by despair.

Not to mention whether he will be able to receive new works next year. If there is no accident, probably only "The Uninhibited Sky" can catch up with the Golden Globes. He was nominated for the Golden Globes in the 90s by relying on a gay film, or as a newcomer?

Josh felt that he was fooled by this damn system.

"It doesn't matter if you don't finish it, there is no punishment anyway." Josh thought to himself, but his thoughts flashed for only a second, and four large characters automatically appeared in the system space.

Punishment measures: Acne developed on the face for two consecutive months, and he could not eat oily, spicy, or salty food, otherwise permanent scars would be left.

Josh: "..."

Great, system, you can be friends with Serena.

As for rewards—

The moment Josh saw the reward appear, Josh's eyes lit up. The reward for this task changed from one to two, one of which was still playing against an acting actor, and the second...

An iPhone6 ​​smartphone with Internet access?

Josh couldn't complain anymore.

Does he have to be grateful for the generosity of the system, at least he gave Josh a relatively expensive iPhone series mobile phone, instead of a cheaper smartphone that can be bought for tens of dollars.

But having a smart phone is indeed much more convenient. He can check information online, play games, and go to Instagram or Twitter. Now Josh’s entertainment is almost all from TV, but the TV is full of classics that he has watched many times. The clarity of American dramas is far inferior to that of later generations.

Clenching his fist silently, Josh knew very well that the system didn't give him a choice. No matter what, Josh still liked his face very much, and with his greediness, he couldn't fast at all. If there are scars...

Oh, he doesn't want his career as an actor to be cut off.
