[American Entertainment] The road to becoming a god

Chapter 176 The New Godfather of Hollywood

Just in time for adults and children to flock to movie theaters during the Christmas holiday, "The Lord of the Rings" landed on major theaters. This fantasy epic masterpiece has shown its power since it was first shown in front of people, and its popularity has even surpassed Last year's "Red Robin."Everyone is talking about this movie.

Some claimed to be drowning in the blue eyes of the elf prince, others said they would die immediately if they were not kissed by the emperor, and still others declared they were in love with the bravest of the hobbits.People tried their best to discuss everything about the movie, not only the characters in it, but also the magnificent elf palace and the beautiful Hobbit hometown. dirt world.

Gaspar attended the premiere with the crew, and when he heard someone standing up at the end and exclaiming, "That's it?", he knew the movie was a success, and it was a big one.As they emerged from the screening, the children played in the hallway, the one playing Gandalf the Grey shouting "Youshall not pass!" and the one playing Aragorn brandishing a sword—

Everything was like a dream. Gaspar never thought that this movie could reach such a height. He thought that maybe this time he had a chance to break through 1.5 million at the box office in the first week.

But he still underestimated the charm of Middle-earth. On the day of its premiere, the box office of "Lord of the Rings 1: The Fellowship of the Ring" reached US$5kw, and the box office directly broke through the 2 million mark in the first week.

When he heard the news, Gaspar crushed the muffin in his hand and almost knocked over the coffee in his hand.

But Gasper's reaction was almost mild compared to director Peter Jackson's.

On the night when the first week's box office statistics came out, Peter Jackson called all the crew and rented one of the most luxurious restaurants in Los Angeles to hold a party.That's right, not a banquet, but a party, a wilder, hotter, more... exposed party.

"Hey Gasper!" Orlando Bloom walked towards Gasper amidst the loud music, besides two glasses of champagne, he also brought four beautiful girls, a white rabbit and a black rabbit, One angel and one demon, "I thought Peter was just a little crazy type, but I didn't expect him to be so wild."

As he spoke, the two bunny girls, one black and one white, came to Gaspar under Bloom's gesture. They were wearing tube top swimsuits and fishnet stockings, with high heels that were more than ten centimeters on their feet, and the ears on the top of their heads were bigger than their ears. Gaspar was much taller.They straddled his two arms respectively, and squeezed his plump chest over.

The corners of Gaspar's brows trembled, and he looked at Bloom with the eyes of "what is this?" Bloom shrugged, then leaned closer to Gaspar's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "This set of bunny girls will look better on you."

"Oh," Gaspar gave him a nonchalant answer, "Youwish." After speaking, he stepped out from between the two bunny girls, and stuffed a roll of money into each of their chests , "Go and have some fun girls, I don't need it here."

The two bunny girls probably had never met such a customer before. They looked at each other, then kissed both sides of Gaspar's cheeks at the same time, thanked them, and left coquettishly.

Seeing that Gaspar was not interested, Bloom also followed his example and let Miss Angel and Devil leave.

"I thought you'd like it," he said with a smile, "Sorry."

Although he apologized, he didn't feel sorry at all.

Just when Gaspar rolled his eyes and was about to turn around and leave, the drunk Jackson made a big noise, which attracted the attention of everyone including Gaspar.

"2 million! Boy, the box office in the first week is enough to pay back!" He jumped onto the stage holding a wine bottle, where the singer was supposed to be, and Jackson glanced drunkenly at the bottom, "As you all know See, I will keep my promise—" He draws his voice loudly, and then takes off his shirt abruptly, "Come on!"

Gaspar was dumbfounded, the director of that epic blockbuster stripped himself down to his underwear, and then danced on the stage, everyone cheered like a baboon, obviously they knew something .

"What's going on here?" Gaspar asked, pulling Bloom past him. "What's wrong with him!"

"Before he came to the United States, he himself said that if the box office sells well, he will show us the pole|pipe|pipe dance." Bloom said proudly, "Now you see, he just kept his promise."

……

At the end of March, when people were struggling to put their winter clothes back into the back of their cupboards, the Oscars ceremony officially began at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. As expected, "The Lord of the Rings" received 3 Oscar nominations, from the From major awards such as best film and best director to best visual effects, best photography, best art direction and other technical awards.And last year's "Red Robin" only received 13 nominations, not including Best Picture and Best Director (Nolan was a little bit aggrieved by this)

This time, Gaspar was much calmer in the audience, and even allowed Gerrard to play with his fingers to flirt. Obviously Gerrard wanted more than that, he hoped that the previous behavior of Gaspar and Leonardo Repeat it again, of course, they will be even hotter in his mind.

But Gaspar rejected him bluntly. This award is of great significance to him. "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" can be regarded as the first film completed under his supervision. The judges in China intend to suppress big-budget commercial films, but "Lord of the Rings" is still the best film of the year.

"You know the movie they (the academy) is pushing is not The Lord of the Rings, right?" Gerrard whispered to Gaspar, "The main prize won't be ours, what are you waiting for."

"We discussed this issue a few days ago, Gerald, even if the judges want to push "A Beautiful Mind" up, but after excluding commercial factors, "The Lord of the Rings" still has a very high artistic content, they don't will turn a blind eye to it." Gasper said flatly, and at the same time he slapped Gerrard's dishonest hand away, "and we did PR, even if it was to de-commercialize, they would at least give the best picture to Let's see, we will."

Gerald flattened his mouth, he didn't pay attention to this, a movie can help him earn money, his family business can earn it in a few days, and he still puts most of his time and energy into his and In Gaspar's film and television company, it is clear at a glance what it is for.

"Then we'll go there after the awards are over," he said. "It's just that it may be more difficult to grab a seat at that time. The toilet cubicle in the backstage of the Oscars is the best place that everyone will imagine."

Gaspar elbows Gerrard while the camera walks away.

"We'll discuss this later." He said, "After the best picture is awarded, we can talk about anything."

……

As Gasper expected, presenter Tom Hanks opened the envelope in front of the crowd.

"The winner of the best film of the year is - "The Lord of the Rings", congratulations!"

There was applause at the scene, led by Jackson, and the entire crew who arrived at the scene stood up and hugged each other. Gerald took the opportunity to touch Gasper's waist. At the critical moment, Gaspar had no time to stare at him, and they came together with the others. podium.

The director took the trophy from Tom Hanks, and the next second he stuffed the trophy into Gaspar's arms. Before everyone was surprised, Peter Jackson took the microphone again and began to give a speech.

"——I would like to thank the whole crew, we did it! Two years of hard work, from venues, costumes, props to actors, I have to say that if any link is missing, this film cannot appear here. So I have to give a special thanks to one person and that is Gasper Cooke! He saved this movie, he saved this whole series, there would be no movie without Gasper, he is our soul — —”

With thunderous applause, the microphone was handed over to Gaspar.

Compared with the excited director Jackson, Gaspar as a producer is much calmer and gentler.

"I know I played an important role in this film, but it's a bit too much to be called a 'soul', everyone is an integral part." He said gracefully, "I wouldn't say we are Unsurpassable, because in the next few years, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy will be released in order, and hopefully we will still be on the podium by then, and by then, I can really say that we are not Beyond - thank you."

In the end, "The Lord of the Rings" won 13 of the 6 nominations, the most important being Best Picture.

The next day, Gaspar, who gave a speech with a smile under the spotlight, hit the headlines of the major media, and for several years in a row at the Oscars, Gaspar was on the cover of the heavyweight "People" magazine, and The title is extremely eye-catching.

"Hollywood's New Godfather - Gaspar Cook"

For a time, Gaspar was in the limelight.

But when people were talking about his own upbringing experience, Gaspar himself and his partner sneaked back to the Dolby Theater, and Gerald dragged him into the toilet cubicle , euphemistically called "compensation".

"Did you do it on purpose or what? Why did you wear a condom?" Gaspar forcibly stopped Gerrard's movement, lowered his head and complained slightly panting, "If it's only done once, then I'd be happy , but if you want to—”

The movement of Gerald's hand interrupted Gaspar's words.

"That one is for your peace of mind," he said. "Don't worry, I don't have any infectious diseases. I can provide the inspection report if you need it."

"—You mean now?"

"Oh baby, of course it's not now, I mean after. Tell me to stop now, and you won't say yes, will you?"

As he spoke, Gerald stopped his hands and used his mouth instead.

Gaspar raised his neck, and it took him a long time to get used to the blankness after being absent-minded.

"It will be too late then." He continued to complain, "Who knows what you said is true or not."

Just when Gerald was about to proceed to the next step, Gasper's cell phone rang in an unpleasant way. He took it out and took a quick look. The red-haired youth pinched his tip in dissatisfaction.

"Don't tell me it's one of your ex-boyfriends, I'll be angry." He said in a slightly coquettish tone.

Gaspar frowned and gave him a pause.

Gerald: "Who?"

"A completely unexpected person." Gaspar answered and picked up the phone. "I'm really surprised. What can Macedonian Films do for me?"

Macedonia?Mirax's company?

Gerald raised an eyebrow, waiting for Gaspar's reaction.

But Gaspar didn't want to delay at all. He put his free hand on the top of Gerald's head, pushed him down again, and motioned him to continue.

About 5 minutes later, the call ended, and Gaspar also had a good second time.

Gerald licked the corner of his mouth and raised his head to ask, "Mirax is going to bother you again?"

Gaspar shook his head: "It has nothing to do with him this time, it's a call from Macedonia's executives. He said that his shares have been shrinking since Mirax went to prison. Not long ago, the company elected a new He wants us to let go of our grievances, so he invited me to participate in the work "Chicago" they are preparing for the Olympics."

"This is a novelty, but it's a good strategy to build a good relationship with the new godfather."

"Who said it wasn't."

"Did you promise?"

"Obviously not, I already have a film ready for the Olympics."

Gaspar didn't want to continue the conversation, he looked down into Gerald's eyes, and then raised his jaw.

"continue."
