Acting King's Daily [Comprehensive British and American]

Leaving aside the "Los Angeles Times" reporter's big move, he went on to say that the masquerade party is ready.

Facing Ms. DiCaprio's denunciation, Gu Qing was very helpless: "I have to ask you."

Miss DiCaprio: "??"

"Remember when I reminded you that if you want to make your disguise more perfect, there is one less change? But you sternly refused, yes, I'm talking about the change in the voice, Otherwise, what do you think it is?"

Miss DiCaprio: "..." He thought it was the upper body, or the lower body!How could he have thought that it would be a change in voice!Also, is it his fault?

Miss DiCaprio was determined not to take the blame. He was about to say something when Gu Qing reminded him, "Kate is here."

Kate's role in "The Truman Show" is mainly concentrated in the first half. After the role is over, she will return to the UK. This time, she will come to the masquerade ball held by [-]th Century Fox. It is because she happens to be in the United States. I took over the filming of a new movie "Holy Smoke". In addition, "North African Lover" filmed last year is about to be released, and I also have the intention to promote "North African Lover".To be honest, as a British actor, she didn't really know many actors at this banquet, and Kate was somewhat uncomfortable when chatting with actors she didn't know.After hearing that Gu Qing was here, she had a legitimate excuse to leave.Kate is not worried about rumors, she is engaged, and her fiancé met while filming "North African Lover", and they have agreed to hold a wedding at the end of the year.

After seeing 'Jacqueline', Kate and Cameron had the same doubts: "Didn't Leo come with you? I didn't see him."

Miss DiCaprio complained silently in her heart: 'I came early. '

Ms. DiCaprio's posture is much more relaxed now, probably because with the voice changer in hand, he will never show his secrets in front of acquaintances no matter what.

Okay, it's Leonardo.

Gu Qing didn't choose to answer Kate's question, he just smiled and said: "Kate, I'm going to say hello to someone else, can I trouble you to take care of Jacqueline? Jacqueline has never had such an experience before, and she is not quite used to it." This is definitely the truth. Jacqueline never existed before, and Leonardo himself is the first time to pretend to be Miss DiCaprio. up.

Before Kate felt anything, Miss DiCaprio grabbed Gu Qing's arm and accused him with her eyes: "You left me alone? '

Gu Qing motioned him to look in the direction he was going to say hello to. Miss DiCaprio saw Cameron, and he let go of Gu Qing without hesitation, "Then you go." Kate didn't know that he and Cameron Gu Qing's bet will not go wrong... right?

After Gu Qingshi left, Miss DiCaprio gave Kate a friendly smile.

Kate frowned inwardly, not because of Miss DiCaprio's slightly troubled smile, but because she took a step closer and stood in front of the other party, only to realize that the other party was unusually tall.Gu Qing didn't think so when she was standing next to her, but now Kate uses her height as a baseline, and thinks that the other party is at least about three inches taller than herself wearing three-inch high heels, and she doesn't seem to be wearing high heels. That is to say, she is at least six feet (183cm) tall, which is indeed tall enough.

Kate didn't think much about it, so she asked with a curious smile, "Jacqueline, when did you and Eric meet?"

Ms. DiCaprio really hesitated this time. He didn’t check the answer with Gu Qing. No, it should be said that he never expected to encounter such a situation. So thoughtful.It's all right now, did he tell Kate that he and Gu Qing met at the "Titanic" audition, and the first time they met was in the bathroom?Isn't this just not asking for it?

Miss DiCaprio is not so sweet yet, and now she can only bite the bullet and talk nonsense. "My father and Eric's father were old friends, so we just knew each other."

——It's time to test your brain power, Miss DiCaprio.

Here Miss DiCaprio is in the middle of ice and fire, while Gu Qing is much more comfortable over there. He did come in the direction Cameron is, but he didn't just come to confront Cameron——Di Miss Caprio thinks that she has passed Cameron's test, but Gu Qing knows that Cameron has seen through it and has not exposed it. Now that the big director is full of sparks, Gu Qing should not be a "match seller". My little boy,” sparked the spark—but he had serious business to talk to Bob Schayer, founder of New Line Films.

Oh, Gu Qing has no intention of acquiring New Line Films.It is true that New Line Films now has the right to operate independently, but it was acquired by the entertainment giant Warner in 1993 and merged into the Time Warner Group, which means it is a subsidiary of the parent company.Gu Qing also has no intention of digging into the Time Warner Group. You must know that the parent company of the Warner Bros. film company responsible for the production and distribution of his next filming of "The Matrix" is Time Warner Group.

Gu Qing's main purpose is still to buy the "Lord of the Rings" project that they have been planning from New Line Films, but has been shelved for various reasons, mainly financial problems.In fact, it's not just "The Lord of the Rings". New Line Films currently also owns the film adaptation rights of "The Hobbit". Gu Qing also wants to buy the film adaptation rights of "The Hobbit".In fact, not only these two, but also the adaptation rights of all the novels under the name of British fantasy writer Tolkien, as well as the trademark rights of the peripheral items involved, as well as various adaptation rights, not only film adaptation rights, but also TV series, TV animation and other adaptation rights have been bought.

Gu Qing actually did the same. When he was negotiating with New Line Films, he had already sent someone to contact JRR Tolkien's estate management foundation and Harper Collins Publishing Company, the publisher of the novel.

Of course, this also involves a lot of copyright changes that are constantly being edited and messed up. After all, after Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" came out in the 60s, Hollywood was fascinated by it, and couldn't wait to put "The Lord of the Rings" on it. The big screen, so far, after more than 40 years, no film company has truly made "Lord of the Rings" into a movie. During this period, there must be many copyright changes. Now Gu Qing wants to completely own all copyrights , it will inevitably #拉出萝萝带出泥#, and it won’t be easy.

However, this is not a big problem on the right.Gu Qing is rich enough, and he also has a group of very capable subordinates who are proficient in all types of mergers and acquisitions.This is all through experience. Think about it, since Gu Qing took over EX Industries, EX Industries has acquired PE Biosystems, the world's largest sequencer manufacturer, and American Media, the parent company of the National Enquirer. , a film special effects company, etc. It can be said that except for the direct connection between PE Biosystems and the genetic project of EX Industry, the others are irrelevant.It is not an independent company that is going to be 'merged and acquired' now. It is not too difficult for them to describe it as "killing a chicken with a butcher's knife".

Bob Scheer did not encounter much obstacles. Although New Line Films belongs to the Time Warner Group, its film management is not related to other films within the Time Warner Group.In this way, to a large extent, it is still an independent film production and distribution company. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the eight major film companies in terms of resources, scale, and degree of favor from investors. It mainly distributes European and local low-cost horror films. After entering the production industry, it also invested in low-cost horror films. It was not until the release of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" that it became a widely influential independent film distribution company. .

But this does not mean that New Line Films can eat "The Lord of the Rings". Fiction, not to mention it's an entire fascinating world, as evidenced by the number of Tolkien fans around the world.

Therefore, this brings a considerable challenge to the live-action filming of "The Lord of the Rings". In the past, the technology was not good enough, but now the technology is good enough. It is necessary to make the world of Middle-earth satisfy tens of millions of book fans. , then it really requires a considerable output of manpower, material and financial resources.New Line Films had actually proposed to the parent company, but Time Warner did not dare to invest more than [-] million U.S. dollars, so the "Lord of the Rings" project was shelved, even though New Line Films found a director for "Lord of the Rings" , New Zealand director Peter Jackson.

It seems that there is a bit of "putting the cart before the horse". It was not Peter Jackson who was found by New Line Films, but New Line Films was found by Tolkien's hardcore book fan Peter Jackson.This involves the change of the film adaptation rights of "The Lord of the Rings". At the earliest time, it was still in the hands of Miramax. Later, Miramax did not even accept the filming of "The Lord of the Rings". Just want to make one, Peter Jackson of course can not accept, Miramax decided to let the director John Mayden take over the project, this approach completely pissed off Peter Jackson, so he decided to "start from scratch", In the end, I found New Line Film Company, and this time it was a little better. After New Line Film Company took over the project, they agreed to shoot two films, but the problem of "a clever woman can't cook without rice" still appeared, so "bumpy and displaced" Yes, Peter Jackson is a little disheartened.It was at this moment that Gu Qing stepped in.

New Line Films said that they can talk about it, and they don't want to drop the "Lord of the Rings" project.It's not that "The Lord of the Rings" is a bad project, it's just that it's too difficult to shoot, and it needs a steady stream of capital investment. You can refer to "Titanic" for this.Yes, "Titanic" is now a miracle in film history, but it is said to be a 'miracle'. Who knows how many years it will take for another miracle to occur.

Gu Qing and Bob Shayer had a very happy conversation. After finalizing the general handover content, other people will naturally follow up on the details later, and this matter will be finalized soon.After Bob Scheer finished talking, Cameron, who was listening to the general idea, pulled Gu Qing to a slightly secluded place, and raised one eyebrow to look at him.

Gu Qing turned the magic ring on his finger and asked, "What's wrong?"

Cameron will not ask about Miss DiCaprio, and let him reveal the things that he can't bear to look at first. What he wants to know is about the film company: "Didn't you say that you and Tony Star Is the film company co-founded by Ke not filming yet? Why are you talking about it now, I think it has already become one of the nine major film companies."

"It's true that it hasn't been formally established yet," Gu Qing said confidently, and when Cameron glared at him, he continued, "But the check does exist, doesn't it? Besides, the company can be established as long as it is established. "

Cameron choked on Gu Qing's natural attitude, and snorted, "Since when did you become a fan of The Lord of the Rings?"

Cameron just said that, and continued without waiting for Gu Qing to answer, "Look at the movies you are making now, they are either science fiction or fantasy, you still have trouble with these two types of movies, right? Let me tell you that these two types of movies are not the mainstream types favored by the academy—forget it, let me pretend that I didn’t say that.” The director thought that Gu Qing was still planning a big move to pit the academy and the Oscars, and he was so earnest. Talking about him is of no constructive significance.

Gu Qing's concern for Cameron was very useful, he rubbed the handle of his cane and said with a smile: "I will not participate in the filming of "Lord of the Rings", the reason why I bought the right to adapt it, well, you just pretend to be me." It’s okay to have a whim. Don’t stare at me, I’m telling a part of the truth.”

What he said, Cameron wanted to beat him.

Gu Qing lowered his eyelids halfway to cover the complex emotions in his eyes. He originally wanted to turn a blind eye to it. After all, the filmed "Lord of the Rings" will not be the same as the Middle-earth world he used to be in. Even if he The world of Middle-earth is a parallel world derived from the live-action movie "Lord of the Rings" as a blueprint, but the difference is the difference.However, Gu Qing still couldn't completely let go, he hadn't even set foot in Rivendell in his thought palace, which is actually not a good sign.So Gu Qing thought that it would be better to avoid it than to block it. Maybe after seeing how the world of Middle-earth was built in "The Lord of the Rings", he would no longer be obsessed with it.

Cameron glanced at Gu Qing suspiciously, always feeling that he had something to hide from him, and was about to say something, but he caught a glimpse of Ms. Jacqueline who couldn't bear to look straight at him, and Cameron immediately didn't want to care about this mess It's over, he squinted at Gu Qing and said: "Okay, don't be ashamed of yourself here, go wherever you like."

Gu Qing looked over there, not paying attention to Cameron's point of view, but said, "I think it's very interesting."

Then, without waiting for Cameron to say anything, Gu Qing said "see you later" and walked towards the direction of 'Jacqueline' with his cane.

The corner of Cameron's mouth twitched fiercely, interesting?What's so funny about this whole thing?Cameron can't appreciate Gu Qing's bad taste ← The great director chose to forget about dressing up as a woman, but it was first proposed by Leonardo. If you want to further infer the source, then Leonardo But I was inspired by the "Tonight Show" I watched at the time, that is to say, Cameron's videotape of Gu Qing playing Rose played a decisive role in guiding... If it is pushed forward like this, it will be endless Well, let’s not go back to the source.

Miss DiCaprio over there wanted to cry, but when Gu Qing came over, he couldn't wait to complain to him: "Why do women like to be together in everything?"

What he said was nonsensical, but Gu Qing understood: "Did Kate invite you to the bathroom together?"

Miss DiCaprio said dryly, "Why do you use the word 'invitation'? It sounds weird to put it in the same sentence as the bathroom. Well, she did ask if I want to go to the bathroom together." , of course I didn't go with you."

Gu Qing said unhurriedly: "I didn't ask you if you went or not."

After choking, Miss DiCaprio stuck her neck and said, "It doesn't matter whether you ask or not, the important thing is that I didn't go, so what!" This is a matter of principle.

At this time, Gu Qing saw Kate, and Kate's expression was very delicate. After she met Gu Qing's eyes, the meaning of "you two really know how to play" in her eyes couldn't be more obvious.Obviously, Kate also saw through Miss DiCaprio's disguise, but again, Miss DiCaprio still didn't realize this, and he was struggling with principled issues.

Gu Qing sighed slightly in his heart, he thought it was better to follow Cameron's advice and leave early.

Leaving early and returning early, but this did not delay the scene of the two of them coming together, which became the headlines of the entertainment section of major newspapers on the west coast the next day. Apparently other newspapers also felt that the news of the heir to the EX industry's suspected relationship was exposed, which was more important than the romance of other stars. Or maybe Twentieth Century Fox's Masquerade is more valuable.Among so many pages, the "Los Angeles Times" is more horrifying, no, it is shocking. People only write about suspected girlfriends, while the "Los Angeles Times" takes it a step further. It is very different in nature. One step ahead, it is about the suspected fiancee, and there are pictures and the truth: the ring on the ring finger of EX's left hand is so bright.

Well, the Los Angeles Times has managed to get the attention of its readers.
