Chapter 11 Company Registration
James suddenly became speechless when I said it, staring at my face and was stunned.
"Can you show me your script?" he said word by biting his lips.
He was trembling! Over the years, he artificially isolated himself from the film he once loved deeply, even those familiar terms. He lived in alcohol and the glory of the past. Once upon a time, he felt that he had lived the rest of his life like this, but he did not expect that I would say something that shocked him. Those words slashed through his heart like a knife. It hurts, but it was very vivid and refreshing, and felt a great sense of relief.
I looked into his eyes, took out the script from my arms, and handed it to him solemnly.
James put the bottle in his pocket, wiped his wet hands casually on his clothes, took my script, and put on an indifferent expression.
But after reading two or three pages, he changed his original loose-stretched posture and sat upright, reading quickly with saliva, with his face covered in darkness and stretched his eyebrows.
This script is completely the standard basic format of the twenty-one world. From the camera category to the scene, from the character's qing action to the shooting skills, the exquisite storyboard script provides convenience for shooting. Such an advanced script, such a wonderful plot, and such a seductive highlight, if I can't impress this down-and-out actor, then I might as well just find a piece of tofu to kill him (in fact, it is difficult to find a piece of tofu in Hollywood.)
"Okay! OK! OK!" James slapped his thighs hard after reading the script, which scared Berg and Gans.
"I have been in Hollywood for so many years and have never seen such a wonderful script! Not only can it capture the audience's appetite, but there are also some things in it that I can't say but feel good. As long as you shoot this movie, you will definitely startle the whole Hollywood!" James' eyes shining, he stood up and stretched out his big hands to me, but suddenly remembered that he didn't know my name.
"Sir, no, director, I'm very willing to accept the leading role of this movie!" James smiled.
"Don't call me Andre, Andre; Corleon." I held his hand and tried to make myself look gentler.
"Corion, is your last name descendant of Italian immigrants?" James asked.
I shook my head: "I hate Italians, in fact, I am a Polish immigrant."
James curled his lips embarrassedly: "Poles are amazing! Andre, please make sure you let me play George; this is not a role! I like him so much, he is simply my shadow!"
I smiled and nodded, and then pretended to be like: "James, you know that if you sell such a script to a big movie studio, you will definitely be able to sell it at a good price, but we want to do it ourselves. We raise the money for filming ourselves, and the combined total is only more than 50,000 yuan, so we can't give you a lot of your pay like those big studios."
James laughed and waved his hand and said, "Play pay?! I don't want that thing. As long as you let me play this role, I'm willing to do anything. Besides, I hate those big studios. You do it yourself and I support it. If you don't dislike it, I will include one of my products! Also, these equipments, you can get whatever you like!"
Hearing his words, the fat man and Gans jumped up. Many of the equipment here of James are Hollywood's top equipment, which can save us a lot of money.
"Okay! James, welcome to join DreamWorks!" I stretched out my hand to James again.
"Dreamworks!?" James didn't quite understand what the word meant.
I explained: "This is the name of our film company, but it has not been registered yet."
"I'll join!" James held my hand vigorously, then looked at Gans and Fatty. Gans and Fatty also stretched out their right hands, and the four of them looked at each other and laughed.
"James, I want you to make a comeback. I want to double the things that Hollywood has taken from you!" I stared into James' eyes and said confidently.
James' eyes suddenly turned red, and his voice choked: "Okay..., I believe in you, Andre! Today is the happiest day I have ever lived in these years! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! If it weren't for you, I would have been staying in this store and knowing that I would die in obscurity!"
James said in the end he finally shed tears.
"James, don't cry. It's a good thing that we'll gather together today. Let's go and drink!" I whispered to James.
James burst into tears and smiled: "It's a good thing to say, let's go! Go and drink!"
We were about to walk out with our shoulders, but the fat man stopped him. He pointed to the sky outside and said, "It's not yet nine o'clock, you can drink a lot of wine!"
James and I realized that it was not the time to drink, and the two of us walked back staggeringly.
"Andre, take advantage of this skill and let's register the company, otherwise it will always be a problem," James suggested.
I nodded: "That's right! Then go."
A group of people left James' shop and walked on the street with shouts. Everyone next to them stretched out their heads to look at us.
"James! What's so happy about it?"
"Yes! James, you're not drinking anymore!?"
Passers-by on both sides were very familiar with James, and they asked one after another when they saw him with a happy look on their faces.
James waved his hand with a spring guang on his face and said, "I'm going to make a movie! I'll be a big star soon! When I become famous, I'll invite you to drink!"
"good!"
"waiting for you!"
Looking at James who was full of energy, I wondered if the person I saw in the morning who was decadent with a bottle of wine was him. He was laughing, and he took the initiative to say hello to the people on the roadside. That kind of happiness flowed from his bones.
I suddenly felt that even if my movie was not successful in the end, it was worth it. At least it rekindled hope for someone who had lost confidence in life. Isn’t that good?
The Hollywood City Government shows an aggressive momentum in the bustling area of the city center. When we arrived at the gate, we saw many celebrities and directors coming out from inside. When we asked others, we learned that Paramount held a start-up ceremony in the morning. They were going to make a big-scene historical feature film called "Civil War". The director was the famous Leibs. Piley, who was a master of filming big-scene movies in the 1920s. It is said that Paramount invested $5 million, which was a huge investment.
Gans stuck out his tongue, looking worried: "Boss, they also photographed the Civil War, and the investment was so great that we have been hit a lot in this way!"
Berg was a little worried after hearing Gans's words.
James was not worried at all and said with a smile: "Don't look at their wealth, I know Paramount's background. They have many masters of screenwriters, but compared with Andre's script, it's far behind. Besides, they are shooting wars in big scenes, and we are shooting the fate of small people, and they are completely running cars on two roads."
After he said this, Gans and Berg suddenly felt excited. We raised our chests and walked into the city gate among the Paramount crowd.
Chapter completed!
