Chapter 1947 The Entire Oscar Lineup! ?

As the head of the film department of the North American branch of Kirin Group, Shirley Lansing and Shi Shaoming didn't spend much time together, but for any Yin Jun movie, the two would definitely have some cooperation and discussion.

But it's not a trivial matter like choosing a role, but where Yin Jun's movie needs to be shot and what resources need to be mobilized, all of which require the Kirin Group's North American branch to come forward and negotiate with the local area.

Shi Shaoming was not good at these things, so he could only let Shirley Lansing handle them.

Shirley Lansing did not disappoint every time, so Shi Shaoming felt relieved about her and admired this resolute woman.

After all, Shi Shaoming has basically been working in North America in the past few years. He has also seen how this powerful woman developed and expanded the film department of the North American branch of the Kirin Group step by step.

Several major stars and directors in the company were all arranged by her properly when Yin Jun's films were not available. Not only did she not complain, but her results were also very good, which is rare.

Why did the North American branch of Kirin Group become the number one giant in Hollywood?

Just because of Yin Jun's script and movie?

of course not!

This requires the overall efforts of a large company.

The crown jewel is certainly the most eye-catching, but without the other parts of the crown, this jewel would certainly not be as dazzling.

Shirley Lan's hard work formed the foundation of this crown.

Therefore, Shirley Lansing is someone that Yin Jun admires very much. Last year, she gave more than 10 million US dollars in bonuses and dividends alone.

Yin Jun never gives any shares, which is not in line with the national conditions of the United States. However, Yin Jun pays dividends to the whole group very generously, and he is never procrastinating, which makes the employees of Kirin Group quite satisfied.

Since Shirley Lansing was a high-level person that Yin Jun admired, Shi Shaoming would naturally have to give face to her invitation.

In fact, after receiving the call, Shi Shaoming knew what Shirley Lansing was going to say.

Isn't the most frequent call to me during this period about the casting of "Forrest Gump"?

Shirley Lansing's purpose is certainly no exception.

This is indeed the case.

After the two had a sumptuous dinner together in a high-end Michelin three-star restaurant, Shirley Lansing got down to business.

After all, she and Shi Shaoming have cooperated several times, and they are familiar with each other. Everyone's interests are consistent, so of course there is no need to hide anything.

"Mr. Shi, there must be a lot of people looking for you these days, right?" Shirley Lansing asked with a smile.

"Why not? In the past, except for a limited number of people, no one called my phone. As a result, the number of calls has almost exploded in the past few days, and some people also found the hotel we rented." Shi Shaoming sighed, "I I heard that Americans are very rough in doing things, but I didn’t expect that when they need to be meticulous, they can change it in an instant!”

"Otherwise, how can we become the world's most powerful country?" Shirley Lansing shrugged. "It's the same on my side. Several agents of movie stars and movie queens called me, and many of them were even a little pushy. No way!"

"It's better for us. We are not Americans and we don't work in the United States. They can't make friends with us." Shi Shaoming was happy.

From his own experience, he also felt how hard it was for Shirley Lansing.

Although Shirley Lansing is the head of the film department of Hollywood's largest giant, there are many outstanding actors and industry bosses who can't be ignored just because she says they can.

If a person's reputation is too bad, he won't be able to survive in Hollywood.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Shirley Lansing said, "When will Mr. Jun return to the United States?"

All foreign employees of Qilin Group have specially learned Chinese words such as "Jun Shao" and "Boss". After they have become proficient in it, they can mix it with English and have a sense of familiarity with Xiangjiang people.

"It will be about June, and Xiangjiang also has many things that he needs to deal with." Shi Shaoming said, "We have to complete all the preparations before then, just like before."

"Now is not the same as before." Shirley Lansing shook her head and said, "Oscar director, Oscar winner, "Forrest Gump", Americans have gone crazy."

Shi Shaoming understood that when she said "Americans have gone crazy", she was not just talking about people in the entertainment industry, but also ordinary people.

Most of the people who are looking forward to the movie version of "Forrest Gump" are people in their 30s and 40s. They are more eager than the book fans and movie fans who are looking forward to the movie version of "Jurassic Park".

The latter represents a fantasy, while the former represents life.

It is said that the "Sports and Entertainment News" conducted a survey a few days ago on how many Americans are willing to contribute a movie ticket to the "Forrest Gump" movie. The rough result is that another 80 million Americans have a strong desire to The will wants to watch.

Based on the current ticket price of about 5 yuan a ticket, this is a box office of about 400 million US dollars.

Although this number may not be accurate, even if it is halved, it can have a box office of 200 million US dollars.

However, another theory is that the number of viewers of "Forrest Gump" will definitely exceed 80 million, because they did not take into account the fans and book fans who watch it repeatedly.

There is no shortage of enthusiastic book and movie fans in every country.

Later, fans of "Titanic" watched it more than 30 times, which can be said to be extremely crazy.

For a movie like "Forrest Gump" that is in line with the life experiences of the current mainstream people in the United States, there is no problem at all if you watch it two or three times.

Therefore, they optimistically predict that the box office of "Forrest Gump" will exceed 500 million US dollars in the United States, and may even be the number one box office movie in North American history.

Because of these data to support, those star actors are even more crazy.

It's like if you knew what a miracle "Titanic" would create, you would definitely go inside and participate in the filming at all costs.

"I know they are crazy, but Tom Hanks' status cannot be shaken. I'm afraid their efforts are in vain." Shi Shaoming emphasized, also reminding Shirley Lansing.

"Of course I know this. I'm not a lunatic. I dare to persuade Mr. Jun to give up Tom Hanks and choose other actors." Shirley Lansing said with a smile, "It's just that we can also discuss the supporting roles. Really? Mr. Jun only needs some capable actors, but what if we give him an all-Oscar lineup?"

Shi Shaoming laughed, "I don't know if it will be a full Oscar lineup, but Young Forrest Gump's mother is indeed the best actress... She is Meryl Streep."

"She?" Shirley Lansing sighed and was a little surprised, "Master Jun chose her?"

"Yes, Jun Shao called her after the Oscar Vanity Fair dinner some time ago, and she accepted with great pleasure." Shi Shaoming said, "This is also the second actor confirmed."

"So, is there anyone else that Young Master Jun has decided on?" Shirley Lansing asked.

"No more." Shi Shaoming hesitated for a moment, then answered honestly.

"Not even Jenny!?" Shelly Lansing said it was unimaginable.

The novel Forrest Gump actually revolves around Forrest Gump alone, but there are also some important supporting characters in it.

For example, Forrest Gump's mother, who had a profound influence on Forrest Gump, and more importantly, his lover and the mother of his son, Jenny.

The role of Jenny is the heroine, and she is also a woman who has a more dramatic role than Forrest Gump's mother.

For such an important role, it is simply unimaginable that Yin Jun did not choose a good person.

"real."

Shi Shaoming spread his hands, "But I know that Mr. Jun was partial to Miss Sophie Marceau, but Miss Sophie Marceau refused. She thought she was not suitable for such a role... Speaking of which, this is how the French are! Miss Sophie Marceau feels that this Jenny is not a good person and she doesn’t like it!”

"ah!?"

Shirley Lansing almost popped her eyes out.

Oh my god, Sophie Marceau gave up such an important role so easily?

It’s true that I don’t know how blessed I am!

But when she thought about it, she felt relieved again.

This Sophie Marceau is Young Master Jun's woman. Does she want any role? It doesn’t matter to her whether or not she has the role of Jenny!

If, if I had this opportunity, I could get the right to choose this role, even if it was just the right to recommend...

Shirley Lansing's heart skipped a beat when she thought of this.

The final role must be decided by Yin Jun, but if the four or five candidates for the role are all favors from her Shirley Lansing, then that is definitely enough!

It was enough for her to get too many benefits.

It doesn't have to be money, but more importantly, a sense of gratitude and a favor.

These are more important than money!

"Mr. Shi, if I choose to recommend an actor to play Jenny, what do you think I need to pay?" Shirley Lansing simply asked directly at this time.

"I don't have any good candidates here. If you have the ability, you can definitely recommend a good actor to Mr. Jun." Shi Shaoming said with a smile, "But I think what you just said is right. If we choose, They are all Oscar-winning lineups, Mr. Jun will definitely be happy!”

This is natural!

Shirley Lansing nodded confidently.

If a director encounters a film where all the main actors are in the Oscar lineup, he will definitely be extremely happy.

Directing these people to act is also an honor for a director.

"I understand." Shirley Lansing pondered for a moment, "Mr. Shi, I am very grateful to you for giving me this opportunity... Please believe that I am grateful to you. If you ask me to do anything in the future, I will try my best to help!"

"You're too polite." Shi Shaoming smiled with satisfaction.

He really has nothing to ask for from Shirley Lansing at this time, but she is the person in charge of a giant Hollywood company. If he wants to film in Hollywood in the future due to his connections in Xiangjiang, if he directly finds her, it will be a matter of course. Passed?

As long as you can decide that actors from Hong Kong will join Hollywood movies, wouldn't your status in Hong Kong be even more noble?

Such cooperation is definitely a win-win situation!
