Faced with Xia Tian's strong attitude, Tim Bolton could only be forced to give in.

One thing is that he has signed a contract. If he abandoned the filming, he would have to compensate Columbia Pictures for a large liquidated damages. Although he is a famous director, he has never been a rich man and cannot pay the compensation of tens of millions of dollars;

Second, he really likes the story of "Edward Scissor Hand". He feels that this story is like a tailor-made for him, and it is simply a good story he dreams of. If he misses it, he will not know when he will come across such a good story again.

There are two major regrets in the martial arts world: one is that there are few famous teachers, and the other is that there are even fewer good disciples. From ancient times to the present, I have unknown many unique skills, but because of the lack of inheritance, I have been buried in the dust of history.

The same is true in the entertainment industry. First, there are few famous directors, and second, there are even fewer good scripts. Without good scripts, even big directors can only wait for the opportunity or they can only make bad movies.

This is also why first-line directors like Stephen Spielberg, James Cameron, George Lucas, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang will only make another movie several years later.

It’s not that they are lazy and don’t want to shoot new works immediately. It’s that without a good script, they can’t inspire their dreams of creation. They can only make bad movies. If they don’t want to smash their own photos, they can only wait for the opportunity. Once they have a good script, even if they are struggling to do their life, they will direct the camera and fight in the film industry again.

The same is true for Tim Burton. After "Batman" directed by him won 400 million US dollars in the world, it immediately made him one of the hottest directors in Hollywood. Many film companies took advantage of this global trend to send him an olive branch.

But the reason why he only chose to cooperate with Columbia Pictures in the end was because the scripts handed over by other companies were too bad and he looked down upon. Only the "Edward Scissor Hand" sent by Columbia Pictures was right for his taste and the pay was appropriate, so he immediately followed.

So if he promotes this drama now, he will have to wait for a good script before talking about it. And I don’t know how many years it will take, maybe a few months, maybe a year or two.

As Tim Burton, who is in his thirties or forties and has the most creative energy, every year is his prime time. It would be a waste to spend just one or two years.

Three things, although Jennifer Connery may not be as good as Winona Reed, it is considered unsatisfactory and not completely unacceptable.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Tim Burton decided to take a step back and do it according to Xia Tian's wishes. Of course, if Xia Tian recommended him not Jennifer Connery, but a completely inappropriate actor, then he would rather pay for it and accept the penalty than compromise.

Because a good actor cannot save a movie, but a bad actor can destroy a movie. Tim Burton doesn't want to start a photo that he has worked hard to destroy because of a bad actor.

...

After Tim Burton gave in, the cast of "Edward Scissor Hands" was immediately confirmed. The male and female protagonists were played by Johnny Depp and Jennifer Connery respectively.

Xia Tian did not interfere anymore, leaving Tim Burton with free choice. This made Tim Burton feel a little more comfortable. After confirming the cast, the filming of the movie started immediately.

There is another drama launched at the same time, that is "My Heart is Wild". This thriller love film is directed by David Lynch and starring Johnny Depp's good friend Nicholas Cage.

After meeting Cage at the Golden Globe Awards last time, Xia Tian recorded him in his heart. Although Nicholas Cage made a lot of bad movies in his previous life to pay off his debts, he was hailed as the "king of bad movies".

But in fact, he was the most famous actor in Hollywood in the 1990s and box office guarantee. The "Break into the Deadly Island", "The Sky Prison", "The King of War" and "Face Change" starring him are all classic works that were well-known for box office sales.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had so much capital to make so many bad movies. You should know that many actors in Hollywood immediately became box office poison after filming bad movies, and no one dared to invite them again.

For example, Brandon Ross, who had filmed "Return of Superman", after filming, became a box office poison that everyone was afraid of after filming, and he no longer had the opportunity to star in a movie. Even if he starred in a TV series, he could not be the male lead.

Xia Tian knew Nicholas Cage's potential, so this time he signed a five-year and six movie contract with him in one go. Of course, because Nicholas Cage's uncle is Francis Coppola, the director of the famous "Godfather" series, he also plays an important role in Hollywood.

So Cage's pay was also very reasonable. Not only did he refer to his value at that time, but he was also able to participate in the film dividends, which was not as tricky as Johnny Depp. This made Captain Jack very jealous at one time.

Cage is the male lead of "My Heart is Wild", and Xia Tian is unsurprisingly given to Sophie Marceau again. The so-called "My Heart is Wild" is not a big box office, but it has also won the Palme d'Or Award at the Cannes Film Festival, which is a veritable classic work.

Director David Lynch is also one of the well-known Hollywood directors. He once won the Academy Award for Best Director. "Mulholland Road" directed by Summer was filmed by someone in his previous life.

Such a good work, such a good director, and such a good opportunity, would you be foolish if you don’t give it to your own people in summer.

...

After finishing all this in the United States, Xia Tian took a plane back to Hong Kong, preparing to go to Berlin with Zhang Yimou, Gong Li, Zhang Tielin and others to participate in the 40th Berlin Film Festival.

Lao Touzi is destined to use the drama "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High" to shock the European and American film industry. Xia Tian would never want to miss such a good opportunity to show his face.

In addition, he and Gong Li haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and they miss each other very much. They just took this opportunity to reunite to comfort the pain of longing for love.

More importantly, in the summer, he invested tens of billions of dollars in East Germany to hoard East German marks. Now East German is about to merge with West Germany, and his business is about to make a fortune. At this time, of course, he wants to go and take a look.

Speaking of which, after the New Year, the signs of merger between East and West Germany are becoming more and more obvious. The Berlin Wall between East and West Germany is now in name only, and the people can almost completely interact with each other. They no longer hear each other like before, but never interact with each other.
