Producer [American Entertainment]

The best scripts always impress the best producers.

Even the gold medal producer Wheeler, who has bid farewell to Hollywood for more than ten years, will be touched by MGM's fifth script this year, just like the line that always appears in many crime movies—— After finishing this ticket, he will retire from the arena.

But human beings are lucky creatures, there will never be a "last vote", only when they will be arrested.

Making movies can sometimes be like a crime, and for some, it can be addictive.There is no age limit for producers, as long as you have money and a script, you can shoot endlessly.

What was the last film Wheeler made before closing?

have no idea?do not remember?

This is where the problem lies.

It can be regarded as Wheeler's biggest knot at present. He failed to have a gorgeous exit that the world will remember.When mentioning Wheeler's name, it will always be "Roman Holiday" in 53 and "Ben-Hur" in 59, but in fact, he still insisted on making movies until 68, but everyone has little impression of it.

When people see Wheeler, they always discuss a few movies back and forth with Wheeler. When Wheeler asks the other party's feelings about "Wonderful Girl" or "The Collector", almost no one can answer immediately. Even the best actor, there will be obvious consternation in his eyes.They will always say, sorry, I haven't seen it/It's not my type/I must catch up on this classic next time I go home.

And then... there is no more, everyone is just talking.Because including Wheeler himself, he didn't think his last few films were particularly brilliant.

But for a Hollywood predator who has long been accustomed to living under the spotlight, this is absolutely intolerable to Wheeler, and he is gradually forgotten.

Unfortunately, due to various practical reasons such as his health, the bold words of quitting, and the lack of a script that was enough to become famous again in World War I, Wheeler, who has become more and more face-saving, has never been able to fulfill his wish to make the last film.

Until some time ago, Wheeler’s grandson Edward sent the best script and the most suitable reason for his comeback to Wheeler’s bedside: ——The old club MGM, which had the happiest cooperation with him, was declining and was looking for A hero who can help him make a comeback.

Wheeler used to be such a hero. It was the most severe period after the advent of television in Hollywood. The film market was almost crushed by television. It was Wheeler who achieved a perfect counterattack with "Ben-Hur" and gave Hollywood Bringing a new vitality.It was the most important moment in his life and an unforgettable milestone in the development of American film.

Wheeler has always wanted to recreate such a miracle again, but opportunities come and go, and if there is no good script and no rescue, it is useless.

Until today in 1980, everything is ready.

The trough of MGM, the low-cost script destined to be able to fight a beautiful turnaround, the full support of the rich and wealthy man (Sabatino)...

Such a dramatic scene will always bring Hollywood and the media to a collective climax.

"Tell the person who gave you the script that no matter what he was thinking, he won. I am a very nostalgic person, and I can't stand by MGM." Wheeler said to his grandson Edward, "Since he If I offer you the job of your dreams, then I will return him a favor and give the person he wants a dream opportunity."

So, this is the whole process of William being able to meet Wheeler.

Wheeler actually thought at first that what Sabatino was looking for was an actor role, a supporting actor, a supporting actress, etc. He didn't expect that he was not seeking to please his lover, but for his family.

This makes Wheeler feel a lot better about the unscrupulous Sabatino, and he does the same. For the sake of his family, he can become no longer like him.

The restaurant that Sabatino and Wheeler's grandson reserved is Spago on Sunset Boulevard, a newly opened Michelin two-star restaurant that mainly serves new-style American cuisine.

As soon as the restaurant opened, it became popular all over Hollywood with its stunning taste buds, and became a veritable superstar restaurant, where many celebrities would come to dine.

After handing over the car keys to the parking worker at the door, William and Sabatino met last year's new actor Jon.Voight.With his two young children, it looked like it was going to be a fun family dinner.Well, Jon's four-year-old, unhappy little daughter probably doesn't quite agree with the word "pleasant".

Jon took the initiative to stop and waited to greet Sabatino. His intention to please Sabatino was obvious. The movie "Return" that helped him win the best actor title last year had Microsoft's investment.

But just these few words, Jon hugged the little daughter of the teddy bear, staring at Jon's eyes almost bursting into flames, the eldest son... He kept staring at the red and white game console in his hand, hum The sound of fighting is endless, it seems that there is little time to pay attention to the real world.

"What's the matter, sweetheart?" William squatted down, trying his best to maintain the same line of sight with the little girl. It was really not easy for him to do this in a slim suit.

"Daddy is a big liar. He never kept his promise." Jon's daughter was not prepared to give his father face at all. When she spoke to William, her voice was crying, "He promised his mother that he will not be busy with work. , brought me and my brother from New York to Los Angeles, but he lied."

Jon and his ex-wife divorced a few years ago. Both children were awarded to his ex-wife by the court. The ex-wife moved to New York with the children. Jon could only see the children after a long time, but the two children were very fond of him. resistance and unfamiliarity.

"Then let's talk about work too." William said to the little girl in a serious manner.

The little girl was immediately attracted by this novel idea. She thought it seemed fair. Dad talked about work, and she also talked about work, although she didn't even know what the job was about: "What job?"

"My name is William Theros, a producer who is just starting out." William first introduced himself, and even gave the little girl a business card of his own.

"My name is Angelina. Voight, a little girl who is growing up. But my mother doesn't like my last name, you can just call me Angelina. Julie, Julie is my middle name, want No, just call me Julie."

"Cough." Jon, who had been despised by his surname.Papa Voight was a little sad.

But his daughter didn't dump him at all.

"Nice to meet you, Julie. As you know, producers need a lot of actors to make movies. When you grow up, are you interested in being an actress for me?"

"Can I? Why not now?" Julie looked expectant. There is no little girl who does not yearn for the big screen. "Can you act with a unicorn?"

"We can put the issue of unicorns aside for now. Because you haven't grown up enough to play a heroine, and because I haven't succeeded enough to make a movie on my own." William said to Julie Spreading his hands, he expressed his helplessness. He glanced at Sabatino and Jon next to him, and motioned to Julie, "Now we all have to rely on the parents over there."

Julie looked at William this time, as if she was looking at her own family. The meaning was obvious, oh, you are also under the control of your parents, right?Had to come for a terrible dinner.She was full of sympathy for him, just like she sympathized with herself: "The promise is successful, wait for me to grow up."

"must."

In the 2B250 scan, the future of the little girl in front of me is immeasurable, as long as she doesn't grow crooked.

After the short greetings were over, both the Jon family, William and Sabatino, all stepped up their pace to enter the restaurant.If there are too many people waiting for a while, this kind of entertainment will only be endless.Just when they had just stepped in with one foot, they heard the sound of spotlights flickering behind them.

"This place is really popular." William was full of emotion. When the waiter took his coat and led them to their seats, he heard someone whispering, like Sally, the most popular candidate for this year's Oscar queen.Field was there too.

"Thank you for the compliment." Sabatino nodded slightly.

"...You drove it?" William said, it seems that his understanding of Sabatino's industry is still too shallow.

Sabatino was noncommittal: "There is a very important person to me who once taught me a philosophy of life, what is real money? When you like something, you can not only buy it directly That thing can be bought together with the store that sells it. So, work hard to make money, so that you can live a good life."

"My father." William realized immediately, "I didn't know you were still in contact with my father."

Like one thing, even its owner bought it together. This is the way of life of William's prodigal father, and the London tabloids are all reporting how he lives in luxury.If he hadn't been expelled from the family later, he probably would have bought the sports car company together.His greatest feat is probably because he likes the Arsenal team in West London, so he bought the Arsenal Football Club.

This is also one of the main reasons why William has no money. It is not so easy to raise a giant in the League One who wants to win the championship.

Sabatino glanced at William with an unclear expression, and took a sip of the warm water brought up by the waiter: "In a sense, it can be regarded as your father told me."

"Before Mr. Wheeler comes, tell me something he likes." William was about to hug him temporarily.

"Trust me, you will find a conversation with him, don't worry at all." Sabatino always had a very high confidence.

The author has something to say:

*spago is a real restaurant, but it was established in 1982 and moved from Sunset Boulevard to Beverly Hills in 1997.Cousin Reborn changed that.

*Jon.Voight, the winner of the 51st Oscar, actress Angelina.Julie's father.Angelina.Who is Julie, do I need to introduce you? _(:з)∠)_However, in fact, I don't like her life style very much, it's like a third party intervening in my favorite actress Jennifer.Aniston's marriage.

*Arsenal Football Club, one of the Premier League giants. In the 80s, the Premier League was still called League One.Also, Arsenal is actually in North London, so please treat this as a parallel world different from reality.As a fake fan who doesn't like sports very much, the stupid author has always had a kind of obsessive love for Arsenal for some reason.
