Chapter 1079 The Birth of "The Godfather" Chapter 1080 The Difficulties Encountered by "The Godfathe(1/3)
My mother once said that our family of three brothers, the eldest brother is a dull man, the second brother is a rough nerve, and I am a simple-minded person.8.com
My mother also said that the eldest brother is likely to do something, and I can achieve a lot of results, but the second brother, who lets him make his debut on the right path, may not be at all.
This is not only my mother's opinion, but also my father's idea when he was alive.
But I don't think so.
I think my second brother is sometimes a very delicate person. For example, when I went to the police station to look for him last time, I found that his office was decorated very tastefully, not because it was so luxurious, but because his office was very simple and generous, and the tables, chairs, office stationery and other things were basically black and very elegant. At first, I thought it was his secret to help him do it, but later I found out that it was his own arrangement. All the things in the office, including the curtains, were made by him, which shows how careful he was.
In addition, not to mention anything else, the uniforms of those guys in Burbank Party came from the second brother. At home, the decorative paintings in Victor were all graffitied by the second brother. Although he had not officially attended the Academy of Fine Arts and had not studied painting specifically, the things he drew were of a unique flavor.
So I always think that my second brother is definitely not a simple and rough-hearted person. On the contrary, I think my second brother is likely to be more delicate than me.
This is also the main reason why I decided to ask him to star in the movie this time.
In addition, it is obviously of special significance to let the second brother appear in this movie. The second brother is the leader of the Burbank Party. Although the people are not very clear about this matter, if he appears on the screen and appears as a Burbank Party member, if this movie makes the people have a good impression of the Burbank Party, they will naturally have a good impression of the second brother. This is a good thing for the second brother, at least it can allow him to get the support of the people.
Also, if the second brother participates in this movie, it can also become a big gimmick in the promotion of this movie. Two brothers from the Corleone family starred at the same time, and such propaganda words will definitely drive the American people crazy.
So based on these factors, I will not let my second brother go.
After my persuasion, my second brother was finally moved and agreed to give it a try.
"Andre, I don't know how to act. If you are filming, you have to guide me well," the second brother muttered, like a primary school student.
"I understand. Second brother, if you have me, you'll feel at ease." I patted my chest.
"Don't tell my family when you go home, especially my mother, you're asked to laugh at me." The second brother blushed.
I laughed and said, "Second brother, come here to find me, is there anything wrong?"
The second brother remembered that he had something to do here, so he nodded and said, "There are quite a lot of things these days. I came here this time and brought good news and bad news. Which one do you listen to first?"
Looking at my second brother's mysterious expression, I happily said, "Listen first."
"The good news is that from today on I will be the local director of the Los Angeles Police Department." The second brother raised his head and was very proud.
"Really, fake!? Baoji. You are doing well!" Gans patted his second brother's shoulder hard.
"Second brother, didn't you say that the possibility of becoming the director is not too high? Why did you suddenly get on the post this time?" I was a little puzzled.
The second brother smiled and said, "Yes. Before, Hank Puyol did not leave when he was in office, so I had no choice. Moreover, the Democratic Party is so arrogant now, and the Los Angeles City Council has no choice. But today, I have been appointed to serve as the director of the Los Angeles Police Department. Hank Puyol quit."
"Hank Puyol is probably not so easy to move to the land. Is he a better position?" Coolidge laughed.
"That's bad news." The second brother spread his hands and said, "The bad news is that today, the Western Anti-Black Bureau was established and Hank Puyol became the director."
"Sure enough! I had guessed that the director of the Anti-Black Bureau might be a Democrat, but I didn't expect it to be Hank Puyol." Coolidge nodded.
"The Democratic Party is fast enough. The anti-black situation has been established in just a few days." I sighed and turned to my second brother and said, "Second brother, how is the Burbank Party now?"
"The guys were very angry before, and they were about to fight the Democratic Party and the Mafia to the end. During this period, I convened several meetings of the Burbank Party's top leaders and formulated detailed measures to deal with them. Now the party's mood is very stable. We have made relevant preparations. Don't worry, even if the Anti-Black Bureau starts to attack us, we will not suffer much loss."
The second brother is very confident in the deployment of the Burbank Party.
"Boss, we are going to make this movie. Do you have a script?" Gans asked me.
I shook my head, then pointed to my head: "There is no script, but the idea is here."
"Boss, that's not too late, hurry up." Gans stabbed me.
"Don't worry, I will write this script as much as possible." I nodded.
Now that the Anti-Black Bureau has been established, things are becoming more and more urgent, it seems that this movie needs to enter the shooting stage as soon as possible.
I decided to shoot a movie about the Mafia, which may have been something I hadn't thought of before, but if I really filmed it, I would definitely have to carefully craft it because the meaning of this movie is really important.
After my second brother left, I began to carefully consider the script of this movie.
The most famous movies related to the underworld are naturally that movie in later generations, and that is also one of my favorite Hollywood movies. Now, no one and the movie are more suitable than this movie.
But if you want to shoot, you must not be moved to the screen as it is. Many of the contents need to be changed.
This is of course my business.
In the next three or four days, the DreamWorks found that the office on the second floor began to stop people from entering and leaving again.
This has become a common thing for the people in the company, and they all know that it is. Their boss is going to write a script again.
This news was also heard by those fly-like reporters and reported it one after another. The first one to report it was CBS. As a broadcaster under the Lockettke Consortium, CBS now has a new look. Their reports quickly aroused strong feelings in society!
Andre Corleon is going to make a new film! This news has occupied the front pages of American newspapers. Even some major news from the federal government has been blocked.
The public's expectations for my new film are fanatical.
"In the last film "The Last Northeast Army", Andre Corleon moved the Chinese, Americans, and the world! That fierce film has become an immortal monument in the history of world cinema. And now, what new film will he shoot?"
"Mr. Corleon is very different from other Hollywood directors. His biggest difference is that he has a sense of responsibility. His movies are definitely not purely entertainment. In his movies, there are torches, daggers, and shouts torture our hearts! We are full of expectations for his new movie!"
A comment from the Hollywood Times expresses people's voice.
After receiving such news, major media tried every means to interview me, but they were all stopped outside the door by people from DreamWorks.
"The boss is writing a script. Even if the US president comes, he has to stand outside the door!" Jimmy, who was outside the office, sent away groups of visitors with this sentence!
In the office on the second floor, I held the typewriter and almost couldn't sleep.
This is my habit. If you write a script, you must finish it in one breath. Only in this way can you complete the script in one go. If you write it intermittently, you will definitely not find the feeling.
And this script is obviously one of the most I have racked my brains to date. It’s not that because this movie is very important to us, I have to be solemn, but that it’s just too difficult to organically bond art, thought, propaganda that we combine in the middle and the viewability of the movie itself.
Just one start, I think a lot. In the process of writing the script, I write and modify it, and I am a little dissatisfied, or feel that it is not perfect, so I push it back and start over.
In the office, I didn’t know the time. When I was hungry, I asked Jimmy to bring me food. When I was sleepy, I lay on the wall and slept for a while. After I woke up, I got up and continued to write. In the end, I didn’t even know how long it had been.
And when I finished typing the last word on the typewriter, my hands were already trembling.
"Boss, have you finished writing?" At this time, Jimmy happened to bring me food in.
"It's finished." I nodded, and then said to Jimmy: "Jimmy, come here and help me up."
"Boss..." Jimmy looked at me and became stunned.
"I've sat for a long time and my legs are numb.\\8.com\\" I smiled.
Jimmy helped me walk inside for a few laps, and when my legs recovered, I nodded to Jimmy and asked him to go outside to call Gans and others in.
Shortly after Jimmy went out, he heard a wolf howl from outside.
"Boss, you've finished writing the script!" Gans rushed in with the fat man behind him.
The fat man almost rolled in.
Behind, Stiller, Griffith, Visconti and others almost squeezed the door through.
"Where is the script! I'll see it!" Griffith grabbed the script first.
Although the old man is old, he is no worse than those young people in terms of flexibility.
Griffith grabbed the script and sat on the sofa, and the others immediately surrounded him.
Griffith solemnly looked through the manuscript paper, then looked at the title page, his eyes widened. ""Godfather"!" Gans read out the name of the movie aloud, feeling a little unbelievable.
Not only him, but others were also surprised.
The enthusiasm just now suddenly disappeared, and a group of people seemed to have been poured with a basin of cold water on their heads.
"Boss, didn't you say you wanted to shoot a movie about the underworld? How did you change the religious film??" shouted Gans.
"Yes! Boss, what's going on!"
Everyone else shouted.
"You guys, can't you talk after reading the script!" I immediately started to curse.
"Look at it quickly, let's talk about it after reading it. When will the boss disappoint us??" Griffith looked very well and flipped the script.
A group of people looked at each other with their heads so seriously.
The script is very thick, and it is probably the thickest of all the scripts I have ever written. After reading the script, they spent about an hour. During this hour, they didn't speak at the beginning, and they sometimes laughed, cursed, and slapped and sighed. The expressions were so rich that I sighed. When I had time in the future, I wrote a comedy script so that these guys could act in comedy.
"Okay! OK! OK!" After reading the script, Griffith shouted three good words in excitement!
"Boss, your movie comes out, all the films related to the underworld in Hollywood so far, go and go for a break! Even the movie called "The Bullet" filmed by Victor Fleming last year, which is considered to be the peak of the underworld films ever. It is also eclipsed in front of this movie!" Stiller was so excited that his face turned red.
"Boss, this "Godfather" is an epic of the underworld! It is so large that it must be artistic and artistic, ideological and visible, and the specific propaganda is also visible. It is estimated that after it is released, a large number of Americans will join the underworld!" Visconti held the script and his eyes shone.
"Boss, I really have nothing to say! The thing I don't understand most in my life is not how God created the century, but how Andre Corleon wrote the script! What kind of brain is your brain? Why can't we write such a script? If we can write such a script, even if we only write one for the rest of our lives, it's worth it!" Griffith's mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted.
"Okay, okay, don't flatter!" I gave the group a blank look. Then I said, "This movie is very important to us. So there can't be any mistakes. Moreover, the shooting process is definitely much more difficult than the previous movies. It's also much more cumbersome. Who would like to shoot with me?"
"The Godfather" is too huge and too difficult to shoot. It not only needs to shoot the grand momentum, but also the details inside. More importantly, it is to shoot the noble, dull, dangerous and weird taste. Such a movie is absolutely impossible to complete with my own ability. I must find an assistant.
"Boss! Me! I don't have a movie task at hand! And I'm most interested in such a huge masterpiece!" Griffith was the first to raise his hand, and the old man was so excited that he was about to suck him over.
For him, who likes to shoot epic masterpieces the most, "The Godfather" is simply a piece of cheese placed in front of a hungry rat!
"Okay! With David here, I have a clear mind." I nodded.
It is impossible to make such a movie without Griffith's experienced experience and overall grasp of the big scenes.
"Me! I! Boss, I'm going to join!" Visconti screamed.
"And I am! I can't be missing!" Buliesong, who was extremely glorious at the Harvey Awards last year, was naturally unwilling to give up this excellent opportunity to study.
