Chapter 1577 Talking About Movies with Ghosts

Jerry Jones recalled it for a moment, nodded depressedly and said, "It seems that there is such a thing~"

The owner of the "Team America" ​​is not interested in any club other than the Dallas Cowboys, let alone a not-so-mainstream LFL team?

Yang Cheng smiled at the side. It was originally a joke. Who would have thought that a group of bigwigs would find a business opportunity and want to form an LFL team for fun?

"Don't think about it, LFL's profit is not as good as the Dallas Cowboys' ticket money."

As soon as this remark came out, several bigwigs including Jerry Jones couldn't help laughing, it was true.

There is always a time when the topic is finished. After more than half an hour, everyone dispersed, ready to go outside to have some fun. Xiao Li couldn't bear it and ran out, but Quentin Tarantino sat there When he arrived at Yang Cheng's side, he said bluntly, "Leon told me that you intend to invest in my new project."

Yang Cheng didn't hide anything, nodded and said, "Yes, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", is said to be the most important one among your ten movies?"

Quentin said proudly, "Yes, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" will be my "Roma"."

Using "Rome" as a metaphor, Yang Cheng can feel Quentin's ambition and ambition.

Seemingly feeling that Yang Cheng knew his films very well, Quentin raised his legs, changed into a comfortable sitting position, and said, "Similar to previous projects, I will still inject a lot of plots from past works into "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood". If you've seen all of my films, you should know that there is a 'movie universe' in my films."

Yang Cheng nodded in affirmation.

Quentin smiled gratifiedly, "So you don't have to worry about me messing around in the movie~"

After he finished speaking, he laughed first, and Yang Cheng followed suit. If Quentin's movie is not nonsense, is it still him?

"By the way, about the role played by Leon, are you making it up? Or is there a real character prototype?"

After Yang Cheng read the script, he had doubts about it. He always felt that Rick Dalton, who Xiao Lizi would play, had a familiar feeling.

Quentin's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect you to see the foreshadowing I planted just through the script?

You guessed it right, in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", the role played by Leonardo Rick Dalton is an outdated action movie actor who was active in the 1960s. Although this character is a purely fictional character, there is no It is a historical prototype, but you can still find some clues based on the story. I designed this character by combining several characters in Hollywood film history, the most obvious being Clint Eastwood.

For example, Rick has passed away in Hollywood, and he went to Italy to shoot a few Western films and became popular again. This experience is 70% similar to Clint Eastwood's career track. He also made some film and television works in Hollywood first, and then Went to Italy to shoot the "Red Man Trilogy" directed by Sergio Leone and became famous in one fell swoop. "

Yang Cheng was stunned, no wonder he had an illusion of familiarity, but he couldn't find any similar characters.

Afterwards, the two started a conversation about the script. As the conversation deepened, Yang Cheng became more and more confident in this project, and Quentin was also willing to cooperate with an investor who understood his films. The most straightforward way is to set up a project for "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood".

After shaking hands with Yang Cheng, Quentin said excitedly, "Jason, let me declare in advance that although the initial budget I gave is only 80 million US dollars, you must leave room for at least 10 million US dollars for me."

For this explosive maniac who is not weaker than Michael Bay, since he chose to cooperate with him,

I had to accept his willfulness, and said without much thought, "No problem, I will notify New Era Pictures to set aside a budget of 100 million US dollars, which should be enough for you to squander."

Quentin hesitated for a moment, "No, I can only give you 60% of the investment quota, which will be controlled and distributed by New Era Films, and the rest of the investment share will be reserved for myself and some friends."

Yang Cheng also hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly nodded in agreement. This was also his initial thought, but after talking with Quentin, he had stronger confidence and chose to be wholly-owned.

But now that Quentin has spoken, Yang Cheng doesn't like to eat alone. This is a big taboo in Hollywood. Quentin has been in Hollywood for so many years, so he must have his own relationship to maintain, which is also understandable.

"Okay, do as you said, this matter is settled like this, go back to New Era Films to sign the contract, and then you can start preparing for the formation of the team."

"No problem, New Era Pictures is very mature, I believe this is a happy cooperation."

After finalizing the cooperation matters, the two did not continue to act alone in the room, but went to the main deck and joined the party.

It wasn't until late at night that Yang Cheng returned to Manhattan by helicopter, but who would have thought that not long after takeoff, the pilot was told by the air traffic control department to circle in place, because there was heavy fog on the only low-altitude heading to give way to the civil aviation route. Knowing that the helicopter had enough fuel, the pilot was asked to circle in place and wait for the fog to clear.

Yang Cheng, who was in a state of drunkenness, had her patience worn down to the lowest level. Wearing earphones, she kept chanting non-stop, scolding the air traffic control for nothing, and regretting it for a while. With this time, she might as well go back to the yacht and continue having fun.

Fortunately, God did not make things difficult for Yang Cheng. The heavy fog that obstructed the route quickly dispersed, and the helicopter was able to pass quickly, and finally landed safely on the apron in Central Park.

Yang Cheng stepped off the plane quickly, and looked back with lingering fear. When passing through the dense fog just now, due to electromagnetic interference, the helicopter lost contact with the outside world for a while. He couldn't explain why, but his heart suddenly started beating violently. , It took a few minutes to calm down after reconnecting with the air traffic controller.

That feeling made Yang Cheng very uncomfortable, and secretly decided that if it was not a particularly urgent matter in the future, he would resolutely stop doing helicopters. After all, the car was on land, and there was still room for recovery if something happened. If the plane crashes and the people die, maybe even the body can't be found, that's called death without a whole body.

Yang Cheng didn't want to end up in this state, so he decided to be careful because he regretted his life.

Walking all the way home, Liu Yun was leaning on the sofa applying a facial mask, and Yang Sen was not at home.

Seeing his son coming back, he asked sullenly, "Have you been drinking?"

Yang Cheng hummed, "Where's Dad?"

Liu Yun slightly annoyed, "Just like you, I have a social event, so I'm probably still drinking."

Yang Cheng was not without curiosity. It is definitely not an ordinary person to let Yang Sen go out to socialize so late, so he asked casually, "Who is it?"
