[US Entertainment] Wild Child

Toby glanced at Lucas and smirked.

Summer looked up at the two of them, "Who is Christian?"

Lucas also said: "Yes, who is Christian?"

Leonardo glared at him, "Kristan is—a girl Irmelin knew, you met her at my birthday party last year."

Summer thought for a moment, "Is that the girl who left with you in the end? Is she your girlfriend? I don't think I've heard you say it."

He hesitated a bit, "Uh...probably not a girlfriend."

Lucas said silently to her: It's his girlfriend.

She said, "You're throwing a party, and it's not good if you don't invite Christian. You should introduce me to her formally."

Lucas then said: "Yeah, that's your 'girlfriend'." The pronunciation of "girlfriend" is particularly strong, with ulterior motives.

Leonardo shrugged, "I have to ask her if she has time."

"What does she do? How old is she?"

"A few months older than me, a model."

She nodded, "So you like girls like that, huh?" She still remembers Kristan, who looked very mature, with a big frame, not very beautiful, but as a model, "distinctive" is better than "pretty" ". "You used to like more mature girls." It's normal for young teenagers to like older mature and charming girls. This is based on hormonal attraction.

Leonardo didn't want to discuss this kind of issue with her, so he changed the subject.

After Leonardo sent Summer home, Toby said, "You shouldn't have mentioned Christian."

"Why? Did you wait for Christan to come before letting Summer know?" Lucas snorted.

"That's Leo's business, you let him figure it out. Summer—she didn't see anything anyway."

"Are you sure?" Lucas was quite skeptical, "Girls are always more mature, and Leo didn't deliberately hide it. It's impossible for her not to see things that you and I can see."

"Do you see any changes in the way they get along?"

Lucas pondered for a moment, "It seems not."

Toby spread his hands, "Right? So don't worry about the two of them, unless—" looked at Lucas seriously, "You also like Summer. I have to tell you, this kind of thing is whoever strikes first is the best." possible."

"But Leo—"

"What happened to Leo? He didn't tell us, 'hey, Summer is a girl I like, you don't have to shoot', so there is no 'brother rule'. But you know, you have to hurry up, or you wait until they want another Working together for a few months, when Summer turned 16, hard to say. The girls liked Leo, and she probably liked him too."

"Whether she likes Leo or not is not determined by the age of 16." Lucas was very unconvinced, "She won't fall in love with Leo, besides, her current boyfriend is Vincent."

Toby made a grimace, "How much do you think she loves Vincent? Or, does she know what love is? She's still a kiddo." He suspected that his two best friends were a little abnormal.

The party was lively, of course, from what was expected to be a small party of more than 20 people, it turned out to be a lot of people, people I didn't know.

Among the friends, there are people who are very good at arranging parties, and they found a good venue. Music, alcohol, and girls are all necessary for parties.Leonardo showed up at the party with Christian Zane, Lucas went to pick up Summer, and Vincent came with her.

Leonardo couldn't pretend not to see Vincent now, so he had to exchange a few words with him in a harmonious and friendly manner.He introduced Christian to Summer and Vincent. Since Vincent is Summer's "boyfriend", then Christian is also his "girlfriend". However, Summer didn't seem to respond. He thought bitterly, Probably this is a bad move, except that it can be seen that Summer really has no feelings for him.

It really made him a little sad.

In the past few years, he has clearly noticed that girls like him very much, and they try their best to get close to him and try to get his attention.Pretty girls are prey to men, and so are pretty boys.

They called him "beautifulbaby", and he became more and more aware of the charm of his beauty, but in front of Summer, he might still be that silly boy back then.He has been thinking recently, what does he look like in her mind?Shouldn't it be better for him to ask her directly?

The party is so lively, but he has been absent-minded.

After the male and female protagonists were signed, the candidates for other roles were quickly finalized.Twentieth Century Fox reviewed Cameron's budget, excluding the initial investment, the budget was 1.2 million US dollars, Fox cut 2000 million, and approved a 1 million budget.

Fox signed a contract with Cameron's production company Lightstorm Entertainment (LightstormEai), Lightstorm is the production company, and Twentieth Century Fox is the investor and distribution company.Then Fox found a third-party collection management company, signed a contract, and transferred 30% of the budgeted cash into the collection management company's account in batches; Lightstorm started the pre-production, first of all, it found a shipyard to customize a part of the Titanic. Comparing the model, the collection management company started writing checks.

Fox and Lightstorm have also signed a professional completion guarantee company. The nature of this special industry is a bit like a combination of a financial investment company and an insurance company. It was completed within the expected time, and compensation will be paid if it exceeds the budget.

Fox bought another 40-acre land in Rosarito Beach, Tijuana, Mexico, and began to build a new overseas studio.

As a film director, James Cameron is probably equivalent to the chief director of the project, confirming other actors, finalizing the location, and signing piles of contracts, he is extremely busy.

On the contrary, as soon as the actors are signed, they are waiting to start the film, especially now that the complete script has not been obtained, and there is no job of character analysis.

On the third Friday of May, Harvard-Westlake Preparatory School's graduation ceremony for high school seniors.

Summer Brooke was not the student representative at the graduation ceremony. Her performance in school was mediocre, mainly because she didn't participate in club activities very much. In addition to calculus, which was a bit difficult in her studies, her grades could only be considered average, and her other subjects were very good.She seldom strives for any honor in school, giving the impression that she can make do with everything.In the last semester, she basically didn't show up on campus. Even when she returned to Los Angeles after filming, she didn't really want to go back to school, and she only stayed in school for a week.

Suzanne and Dennis attended their daughter's graduation ceremony and watched with great pride as she received her diploma.After all, there are not too many children who can graduate from high school at the age of 15 and a half, which is enough to be proud of.

The Brooke couple rewarded their daughter with a week trip to Palm Springs, and the family of three went on vacation with their daughter's boyfriend.

Palm Springs is a tourist city, not far from Los Angeles. The Brooke family drove there, booked 3 rooms in the hotel, and sent Summer and Vincent to play by themselves during the day. The couple was on their nth short-term honeymoon.

Palm Springs is a desert city with a well-developed tourism industry. Summer and Vincent visited the museum during the day, watched performances with the Brooks at night, and played in a desert park all day.I took the elevated tram that every tourist must take to climb San Jacinto Mountain, had lunch at the restaurant on the mountain, walked around on the outdoor promenade after the meal, and watched a movie in the cinema, it was dark Back down the mountain to the hotel.

The communication between the two teenagers is still very pure, limited to kissing and hugging. Vincent is too shy, and Summer doesn't want to progress too fast, and has always maintained a pure teenage love.

Both Suzanne and Dennis had a good impression of Vincent. He was precocious and sensible, and when he took Summer out to play, he would always send her back before the stipulated time.Of course, Susanna was also worried, if her daughter had a boyfriend, would she impulsively taste the forbidden fruit?Talking about this to Dennis, Dennis said a little proudly that he had warned the kid a long time ago that he dared to go to bed and break his dog's legs.

Summer didn't know that Dennis had secretly threatened Vincent, and Vincent would not tell her.But of course the boy always felt a little wronged, so when it came to Leonardo, he basically ignored him.

"He probably thinks that you are young and doesn't know what to say to you."

Vincent was aggrieved, "You are also very small."

"What's the same? I've known them for so many years." She recently changed her hairstyle. The blond hair is no longer curled up, but pulled straight. A colorful headband adorned with rhinestones and a few feathers of some kind of bird for a slightly exotic, chic and fresh look.

He looked at her bulging cheeks, and asked hesitantly, "Leonardo probably likes you."

She was a little strange, "Really? But doesn't he have Christian?"

"He has a girlfriend, so there is no conflict with him secretly liking you. He is already popular with girls, don't you like him too?" After speaking, she looked at her nervously.

Summer thought about it carefully, "Really? But I'm so familiar with him that I'm immune to him. I like him, but it's no different from my liking Toby or Lucas. It's just—very Good friend."

"Don't you think it's strange that you don't even have any girlfriends?"

"You think it's strange? It's not that I don't have female friends, but girls are more troublesome, and boys are better, but boys are also troublesome sometimes." She frowned deeply, "Just like you, you are also a little troublesome now .”

*Hollywood film project approval process is roughly: the director or screenwriter goes to the film company with the script and budget. Bank loan, the bank lends cash in proportion to the budget, and then the film company goes to the downstream distribution company to collect the advance payment, and then it can probably start work. (Signing actors is not counted. It often happens that after signing the big name A, the work is delayed, and the big name A quits, and the production company has to go to the big name B. The schedule of the actor is also very precious, and the film contract will stipulate that it will be allowed if the filming cannot start. Terms of exit.)

*The specific production and distribution contracts are extremely complicated and very detailed.

*The investor's investment is not directly to the production company or director, but to a third-party collection management company for income and expenditure.The collection management company makes reports on the inflow and outflow of funds and submits them to all parties, including box office revenue, which is also distributed through the collection management company according to the contracts of all parties.The collection management company has the authorship rights on the subtitles of the film.

* There is also a special completion guarantee company to ensure that the film is completed within the budget.So think about Cameron's filming of the big boat exceeding the budget, all the companies put pressure on him, and everyone collapsed compared to each other, which is also a must.The specific contract between the film completion guarantee company and the production company is very complicated, and it is enough to know a little bit.

* Such a complex system is also to ensure that all investment is used in film production. The collection management company is only responsible for managing the money. The completion guarantee company is an independent third party other than the production company and investment company, and supervises the entire shooting process.

* Later, when shooting Avatar, Fox asked Cameron to sign a budget control agreement, saying that he would have to give up part of the profit share if it exceeded 3 million.
