[US Entertainment] From web dramas to Oscars

Chapter 59

Unlike ordinary directors, Luc Besson is very willful and a big name.I didn't see him on the red carpet, and I didn't see him when the awards were presented.It was only at the reception that he was late.He has an unshaven beard and a fat face. Although the suit on his body is very neat, those who don't know him still can't imagine that this is the appearance of a world-class director. 'This may be the temperament of the legendary artist...probably. ' thought Fopper, who had not had contact with too many world-class directors.

"Hello, Phoebe." Luc Besson's attitude towards Fopper was very friendly.He and Fopper talked a lot about Hollywood.Something about movies.And Fopper also, as he said before, lit up the skill of adding full points to the director's favorability, and had a great time talking with Luc Besson.To what extent is it fun, to the extent that Luc Besson can already care about Fopper's cold that is still not healed like a close friend.

Of course, although the two chatted very high on the surface, in the end Luc Besson couldn't bear to explain his intentions.As for the purpose of this visit, Fopper could probably imagine what it was during the previous conversation.

A full cooperation between Europa Films and Goldfinger Film Studios!

This is normal. The two companies can say that they have the same goal, that is, first of all, they must be successful in Hollywood, and they must also operate well in their own country.So what is the reason not to cooperate?The headquarters of Europa Films is in Europe, in France to be precise.And what about Goldfinger Studios?It is in China, and its base camp is in Asia.The development centers of the two are different, and there is basically no conflict of interest.At the same time, they were squeezed out by local Hollywood film companies because of their development in Hollywood.Therefore, the matter of gathering together to seek strength can be regarded as reasonable and well-founded.

Luc Besson's heart is very sincere.Why do you say that?Because he came up with the first script "Angel A" that he wanted to cooperate with Goldfinger Studio.And also put forward two very important things: first, he invited Fopper to play a role, and second, he will personally direct the filming of this film.

But at this time, Fopper made another request.

"Luc, I am actually very moved by your proposal, but I have a small request. I have a script in my hand now, and this script is simpler. Maybe you can read this script first. If you can, you can Shoot this movie first. Then, we’re talking about my role in your movie for the next one.”

"Oh? What movie is it?" Luc Besson became interested at this time.Why?Because he was keenly aware that Fopper didn't want to participate in his own movie.Rather, he wanted to impress him with the previous film.Because it seemed like Fopper was a little unhappy that he was only being asked to be in a movie.Luc Besson thought Fopper meant as if he wanted to be the hero.

Of course Fopper wants to be the leading actor in Luc Besson's new film "Angel a."This movie Fopper has of course seen in memory, because it is a classic.

This kind of classic is not classic in his plot.But the classics are in his movie performance.It's a black and white movie.And at the same time, the director of this film is the work of Luc Besson after 6 years of absence from the film industry.

But at the same time, the reason why Fopper said this is also because he suddenly thought that "Buried Alive" really needs a big director to shoot.Because only in this way can the effect of "Buried Alive" be at its best.

"It's a very simple or complex movie." Fopper sold a pass: "I think you can leave a contact information so that I can send you the script."

"Of course, in fact, I am very interested in the script. Forpers' genius screenwriting ability is now heard in Hollywood." Luc Besson also laughed.Whether it is the famous "Tuner", or the later "Spirituality: Ghost Story", or "Exploding Family", which is popular on the Internet, and "High School Musical" which is currently being filmed.Fopper's screenwriting ability is now very famous in Hollywood.Even more famous than his actor skills.The news that several books are popular in China has reached Hollywood.Many netizens even said that they hope to see the English version of Fopper's novels.It can be seen that Luc Besson is actually very concerned about Fopper's script.

"Thank you for the compliment. I want to get this banquet, so you can receive the script." Fopper set a time.

After chatting with Luc Besson until the end of the Golden Globe Awards, Fopper and Luc Besson politely separated.On the way back, it was obvious that as one of the small winners of the Golden Globe this time, Fopper and his group also received a lot of attention.I believe that after a wave of publicity at the Golden Globe Awards, the honor brought by "The Tuner" has made Fopper's popularity significantly increased.Of course, this kind of thing was said by Yu Qing, because fame has always been a very illusory thing, and the only thing that can measure this thing, apart from search popularity, is the star's salary.And these two things, as Fopper's agent, knew best.

"I just got a call, and your quoted salary has risen again. Fuzi, as long as you are showing a movie, you can definitely reach the level of a second-tier star. At that time, we will become a first-tier star within five years, and step up to the top within ten years." Become a top star, enter the A-list, and become a best actor before the age of 40!" On the way back, Yu Qing said that he was a hero.

"Oh." Fopper replied calmly.

"Hey, why are you reacting like this. At least give me some blood."

"Okay." Nodded: "I'm going to be an Oscar winner within ten years!"

"What you said... I think we still have a chance... right." Yuqing couldn't bear to disturb Fopper's dream.Or send her thinking that what she just said was all a dream.

"What? You don't believe me?" Fopper was helpless.My manager made me feel excited. Didn't I already express my dream or goal?Isn't it okay?

"Believe it, believe it!" Yuqing nodded, what else could Yuqing say.Still the same sentence, you can't dampen the enthusiasm of your friends.

"But this is all a dream. The first thing to do is to solve the things in front of you." Of course Fopper knows what it means to eat food bite by bite and walk step by step on the road: "The movie "Perfume", you have Let's discuss."

"Of course." When it comes to work, Yuqing's work ability is still very impressive: "Patrick Suskind, the original author of "Perfume", has handed over the copyright of the film to our company. Said Patrick Juskind Skind...I didn't expect him to write "The Pigeon", which is one of my favorite novels."

"...Don't you even read the author's name when you read novels?"

"I bought a pirated novel." Yuqing rolled her eyes: "Pirate prose collections, who knows what the authors' names are all about."

"..." Suddenly felt that what Yuqing said made sense, but he was speechless.

"What about the director?" Fopper also changed the subject: "Did you invite Tom Tykwer over here?" He has been so busy recently, and Fopper really didn't get to know these good things with Yuqing.

"Of course." Nodded: "Actually, many people from the studio have rushed to Germany. Because they need to get in touch with Tom Tykwer. But I think it should be ready in May 2005 " Speaking of which, Yuqing said proudly to Fopper: "Also, do you know what makeup artist I found for you in the movie "Perfume"?"

"What makeup artist?"

"Elizabeth Stewart." Yuqing said a name excitedly.After hearing this name, Fopper couldn't help being surprised.

Elizabeth Stewart, one of Hollywood's top celebrity stylists.Her customer list stars are all well-known stars.Cate Blanchett, Jennifer Lawrence, Amanda Shefred, Jessica Chastain, Michelle Williams...and Fopper knows she will be Best Dressed in Hollywood.but……

"I don't have any doubts about Miss Stewart's level. However, I have some doubts about the direction." Fopper said: "You know, if I choose to dress, or go to an award ceremony, then she is definitely the first There is no doubt that I thought of it. But in fact, the makeup artist we are looking for this time is a facial makeup artist who can transform me from a yellow man into a white man."

Fopper is not unreasonable in saying this.Before working as a freelance stylist, Elizabeth Stewart was a senior fashion editor. She worked in The New York Times and "w" magazine for 14 years, and she has a solid foundation in fashion.But the basic skills are all in the matching of clothes.So Fopper expressed doubts about Stewart's makeup, or masculine makeup, and the technique of making a yellow man look like a white man.

"You don't need to worry about this." Yuqing smiled when he heard Fopper's words: "I have already discussed the basic situation with Stuart. Moreover, I also made sure that Stuart is qualified for this job. decided.

"In that case, it's up to you to decide." Fopper still believed in his friend.
