Chapter 423 Don't Panic
The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!
Sure enough, old Larry flew directly to Chicago after hearing the news. In order to increase the success rate of getting the director's position, he also took his friend, the well-known experimental film producer Stan Brackey, together. In the 1970s, they cooperated closely, and both studied under Joseph Cornell, the pioneer of American surrealism.
Compared with the old Larry who transferred to the teaching position early and founded the film department of the San Francisco Art Institute, Stan Brackey is still sticking to the experimental film circle. He and Jonas Mekas, the godfather of the American pioneer film, are in The East Village of Manhattan founded the "Anthology Film Archives (Anthology Film Archives)", which shows a lot of avant-garde films every year. Most of the experimental films are only about ten minutes long, and the production is rough but the style and techniques are very new. It is so bold that it is often criticized by the mainstream cultural circle, and many talents in the film industry have emerged from that. The archives also house paintings, photographs, videos, and installations by many artists, including Andy Warhol.
Directors with this kind of qualifications have few opportunities in Hollywood, which follows the turbulent trends, and it is even more difficult to direct the guide tube of tens of millions of productions. Like Graham, the director of Mira's return to the blue coral reef, is also a At a great age, he didn't grasp the only opportunity, so he had to go back to continue making his low-budget TV movies in despair.
Two sixty-year-old artists deigned to visit his nineteen-year-old self, which made him feel embarrassed to say some of the tricks he had prepared. Of course, he was inclined to cooperate with each other.
"We had a great time working together, Larry, those music videos."
Anyway, we are going to cooperate. Song Ya didn't have a deep chat at all. He stretched out his hand first, and expressed his attitude very straightforwardly, "I don't have any opinions. You can rest assured. But you and Mr. Blackhetch must have inquired before coming. Hollywood, this film was helped and guided by Amblin Entertainment, so I must also consider their opinions."
"We'll go and talk to Catherine and his wife." Stanbrakhetch shook hands with him, "So, it's you who makes the final decision, right?"
"Yeah, Katherine won't be around until after Jurassic Park comes out."
Song Ya did not deny that all his decisions met almost no resistance from Catherine, "As a singer who broke into Hollywood for the first time, at the current point of time, everyone respects my money, and almost no one will say no to me. He said with a self-deprecating smile: "However, after the movie is released, it will be completely different. I think you all know this very well."
"I understand, the Golden Raspberry Award or something." Blackhead glanced at old Larry.
For singers making movies, Hollywood and American film critics have never hesitated to ridicule and ridicule from various angles. Even Whitney Houston, who has achieved great success in both directions of film and music by relying on bodyguards, still has many critics. Concentrate on her acting skills. If Dancing My Life fails, the old Larry as a director will inevitably be trampled by public opinion, and the good reputation built over the years of academic career may also be destroyed in one go.
Old Larry has already made up his mind, the opportunity is rare, and even moths to the flame have to jump in. He smiled and raised the script he just got in his hand, "Then we will work together so that this will not happen."
"certainly."
The two held hands together, "I will form a team as soon as possible to help you complete the script."
"Well, I want to bring some students into the crew, like before." Old Larry said.
"Well, I will discuss the relevant remuneration with Catherine." Song Ya also readily agreed, old Larry has limited energy, and his students actually shared a lot of director work, which was the case during the previous MV shooting.
After sending the two old men away, Yeremov, who has been silent all the time, said worriedly: "You have to be mentally prepared, boss, shooting the MV is just an errand for old Larry to earn extra money, so he won't have any artistic skills." Pursue, what do you say,
He nodded because it didn't matter at all. The film is completely different, it is the best carrier to realize personal artistic ideas and skills, tens of millions of funds are given to him to create, he may not be as obedient as before. He became famous for his collage films. The symbolism, surrealism, and religious mysticism full of storyless artistic style are very different from the current commercial films. "
"That's the only way. For me, he is the best choice."
Song Ya replied. Another advantage of choosing old Larry is the fluorescent agent case in New York. He and his students were involved in the shooting of IGottaFeelingMV. It should not be difficult to get a student to voluntarily go to court to testify for himself, "You go and Zack Schneider Let's talk, lower his assistant director's salary a bit, but don't overdo it, I need my own people in the directing team."
"I guess Zach is willing to do it without money." Yeremov shrugged, "You are more thoughtful than me." He pointed to the Newton PDA in Song Ya's hand, "You have been playing with it all day, what do you think? "
"hard to use."
Song Ya curled her lips, Apple's first new personal digital assistant (PDA) product model is H1000, straight shape, with a large black and white LCD screen that looks good, with a tall stylus, and the configuration is ARM's 20MHz processing Device, 4MBROM, 640KBRAM, exactly half a kilogram after installing four AAA (AAA) batteries.
This thing has not yet been distributed in large quantities, and the few products that have been on the market have basically been swept away by enthusiastic fans and friends. The one in his hand was sent by Jeffrey Hawkins of Palm.
Song Ya tried it for a day, and the basic functions such as calendar, notepad, phone book, and calculator are not bad, but this handwriting input is difficult to use, word input is often inaccurate, even if it is often inaccurate, and it still freezes for no reason. After restarting, the old nose Halfway through writing, everything disappeared, which greatly affected my mood.
And can't make phone calls...
In this regard, Jeffrey Hawkins still has an attitude of admiration. He even said in frustration that his own hardware products of the same kind in August were completely inferior. If he wants to close the gap in a short time, he may have to pay more.
But go fuck it, that guy will use tricks to ask for money, but Song Ya refused.
The problem now is that the stock price of Apple Inc. rose sharply before the product came out, but immediately plummeted as soon as the real product was launched, which shows that the market knows that most ordinary potential consumers feel the same as themselves, it is not easy to use, and they are not optimistic. People like Lee Hawkins, who understand how electronics work, see the exact opposite.
And similar products from Palm can't even beat this, how difficult it must be to use...
He thought of the mobile phone that had a beautiful color screen and could be used to make calls that appeared in IGottaFeeling, and realized that it might be a long way to go.
Apple's stock price has plummeted, and Palm's products can't even beat the stuff that caused the stock price to plummet. So have these two investments of mine been cheated by Tianqi again?
"APLUS! What happened today? Apple has been falling!"
Harley's death call came back as expected, "Dropped one yuan and nine! Ah! Another 50 meters! One hundred and eighty-two cents! I lost money!!"
"Do you live in the stock exchange? You still quote real-time quotes with me..." Song Ya moved the receiver away and complained, "No movie? Didn't go to the audition?"
"I'm looking at my friend's Bloomberg terminal! It... fell again! Oh no! It's under $18..." She wailed: "APLUS, what should I do..."
"It's just a technical adjustment, don't panic."
Song Ya comforted her, rolled her eyes and hung up the phone. After thinking about it, she called O'Grady again, "Apple is falling, I guess it's far from the bottom." The other party insisted on letting go.
"Will there be a new generation of Apple's computer notebooks?" Song Ya asked, besides this, IGottaFeeling and Wuchu have also appeared in Apple notebooks in my life, and the big logo on the back is unmistakable. Apple has so many product lines, and a PDA is just a bit of a setback, so there's nothing to panic about.
"Yes, next year they will launch a version of PowerBook based on Motorola's new generation of processors. It is said that the performance is very strong, so you should continue to trust them?" O'Grady replied.
"Well, keep holding it."
Song Ya made a decision.
