Chapter 1458: Same
After chatting for a while about the hit "Scary Scream", Jenny Leisenberg walked away first, and the little maid made a few words with Robert Shea, turned around and was about to socialize on her own, and kept helping her pay attention Mona Elmeri from the party scene pointed in one direction.
Looking over, the little maid narrowed her eyes slightly.
Unexpectedly, the other two members of Huanzhu's trio also appeared at the party.
Thinking about it, this party, which heralds the expansion of the new line, actually means countless new opportunities, and it is a kind of opportunity that is more friendly to newcomers. After all, it mainly focuses on non-theatre films that go directly to TV and video channels. It can't be too high, and it must be more inclined to cheap newcomers.
&nbsa is not considered unknown, it is not difficult to get tickets for tonight for the two clients who just signed.
The little maid looked over, and the other two girls who had just entered also happened to look over.
She didn't tear her face openly, since she met them, of course she couldn't turn a blind eye. The little maid took the initiative to walk over and greeted the two of them generously: "Are you here too?"
Even if Big Eyes and Ziweihua wished to scratch the little girl's face, it was impossible for them to be so lacking in EQ to face each other sharply on this occasion, and they also responded with a smile, but there was some spark in the tone of Big Eyes: "Yes, we I didn't expect to be able to attend such an occasion, which is really surprising."
The little servant girl said calmly, "Then you all need to keep your spirits up, there are quite a lot of Hollywood celebrities here, maybe you can get some opportunities."
The three girls were talking with sparks flying, and not far away, two young people who noticed this side came together with wine glasses, and one of them showed a handsome smile: "Hey, girls, good evening, I'm James. Franco, can I get to know you?"
Seeing the young man reaching out his hand, the little maid didn't pick it up. She confirmed that the young man was not someone she knew, and Mona behind her didn't remind her, so she jokingly signaled to the other side: "He wants to get to know you."
The youth also happened to hit the door panel.
If it was any other time, at this kind of party, even if they knew that the other party had ulterior motives, the three women who were considered human beings would skillfully flirt with the other party.
Now, no one will be outdone.
Seeing what the little maid said, her big eyes turned directly to a waitress behind her who also served as their translator: "Ai Li, help us get to know this gentleman."
The waitress who was called Ellie had no choice but to take a step forward, but instead of facing the young man's outstretched hand, she made an obvious covering gesture with her body: "Sorry, two, the three ladies don't want being disturbed."
Seeing Ellie standing in front of him, the young man seemed to think of something suddenly. He subconsciously withdrew his hand, and decisively blocked the companion who wanted to take a step forward. He bowed slightly and smiled with him: "It's okay, oh, we took the liberty."
As he spoke, he grabbed his companion's arm and turned around to leave.
Because I suddenly thought of what the manager had told them more than once: In this circle, don't provoke the woman who is followed by the attendant, because that is probably Simon Westeros' girl.
The young man sighed with emotion as he walked.
God, it really happened.
However, the three Asians, um...should not be pretending, otherwise, even though Asian stars have shown their faces in Hollywood frequently in recent years, their status is not high after all, and the three women just now are not the kind that I look familiar with. To be able to enter this party, what else could it be other than someone backing it up?
A passerby who bumped into him was dismissed casually, her big eyes were unavoidably proud, she was about to say something, but the little maid had already said: "It's very majestic, but don't forget, he definitely doesn't want you to use his name outside. Pretentious."
The big eyes suddenly felt guilty, and counterattacked: "What name am I playing, have you seen it?"
Seeing that the big eyes were a little out of place, the little maid sneered, turned around and left without arguing with the other party. Still thinking about the next time we meet, find an opportunity to casually mention Big Eyes' episode tonight as an 'interesting thing' to someone.
hum.
Ziweihua watched the little maid leave, a little worried: "Will she..."
Big Eyes calmed down at this moment, shook his head and said: "She takes Mona outside to show off her power all day long, what right does she have to say about us?"
Ziweihua thought about it too, she felt relieved a little, and looked around, because Jeremy Zhao was on the west coast, and there was no one to guide them to socialize tonight, so they had to socialize by themselves. However, Ziweihua quickly found a target and pulled the big eyes next to her: "That's Li An over there, let's go over and say hello, he and I are fellow villagers."
Big Eyes nodded and walked over together. After Li An finished socializing with a guest, the two women stepped forward in due course and greeted them proactively.
Because "Han Zhu Ge Ge" is very popular in the whole Greater China, Li An also knows the two girls, and Ziweihua and Ziweihua are from the same province, so they are even more enthusiastic. The three chatted for a while, and Ang Lee not only introduced his queen producer James Shams to them, but also took the initiative to greet the two women with some acquaintances in the New York film circle, and finally exchanged business cards.
It is a little regrettable that during the conversation, I learned that the new film that Ang Lee is preparing is a story about the American Civil War, that is to say, there is no room for Asians to play.
In any case, the two of them are quite satisfied with the results of tonight's entertainment. Without Li An's help, they would inevitably run around like headless chickens.
However, after parting with Ang Lee, the rest of the time can only be relied on by oneself.
Fortunately, neither of them are the kind of thin-skinned people. Furthermore, their identities, even if they don't talk nonsense, will inevitably spread gradually at the scene.
Regardless of the size of the portion, they were very polite to them, and even chatted about some cooperation intentions on the spot.
This is also thanks to the sudden increase in the number of Asian faces in Hollywood in recent years.
What do you say that Americans only like to see black and white on the big screen, but it is not true. At first, Americans only liked to see white on the big screen, and then there was more black. Now, there is one more yellow, and I see more. It is only natural. Just like later, there are Mexicans, Indians, and even further, if you don’t have an lgbtq as the protagonist in your film, you will be embarrassed to say hello to people when you go out.
So there are never any static habits, only constant change.
The time passed quickly between the social gatherings. I chatted with Joan Chen, who became famous with "The Last Emperor". When the other party walked away, Big Eyes and Ziweihua made fun of the well-known domestic celebrity. The Chinese actress was wary of them, looked at her watch, it was past 11 o'clock at night.
When it was time to leave, he walked around the hall subconsciously and found that the little maid hadn't left, so he continued to insist.
The little maid also noticed the two people staring at her not far away, but she ignored them and concentrated on chatting with the two girls she just met in front of her. These were Lena Kane and Annika Settle.
Just now, when she was about to star in the "Edge of Crisis", director Joseph Nicher helped to introduce them and learned that the two are the behind-the-scenes leaders of two popular mockumentary films that have been famous in Hollywood in the past two years. Annika Settle also established the His own production company, this time will also cooperate with New Line on a horror thriller project.
But it is not a pseudo-documentary film, but a regular film.
Speaking of which, pseudo-documentary films are a genre that is easier to break into Hollywood. The little maid felt that if it wasn't that she couldn't keep up with the schedule next year, maybe it would be good to participate in a similar project, because the cost is very low, and she could even try to lead by attracting investment by herself.
Unfortunately, I can only think about it for the time being.
On the other side, Lena Kane and Annika Settle chatted with the little maid for a while, exchanged contact information, and stopped tonight's entertainment, and walked out of the banquet hall together.
After leaving the hall, she turned her head and glanced again, and Annika joked, "The Chinese girl just now is just like you."
Lina rolled her eyes: "Obviously," she said, and then counterattacked: "He has too many women, so many times that I tried to squeeze you in together, but I didn't have a chance."
Annika just smiled and hugged her affectionately: "You are enough for me, baby."
Just to make a joke, Lina said again: "Brother Farrelly, who promoted their idea of "I'm at Mary Mania" at the party, do you still have your business card?"
"Of course," Annika nodded and said, "The question is, Lena, are we not good at comedy?"
"How do you know if you don't try it?" Lina said: "We always have to break through genres, and we started with this one, tsk, frankly speaking, the box office of "Scary Movie" this time is really surprising. "
Lina didn't want to give up her career as an agent for the time being, but also wanted to get involved in film production as much as possible. Due to the restrictions of industry regulations, she asked Annika to set up a production company as a shell, and the name was casually called Settle Entertainment.
Then, Lina, an agent who can't get involved in the production in name, participated in the package agreement mechanism created by caa back then, so that although she doesn't hold shares, she can justifiably interfere with the production company's projects and share profits, and at the same time continue to promote herself The artist under his name can serve multiple purposes.
In fact, in any country and any industry in the world, there are policies above and countermeasures below.
For example, the upper limit of Hollywood brokerage commission is 10%, so there are managers who can break through the limit and get 20% or even 30% or more. For example, agents cannot get involved in film production to avoid conflicts of interest, so the caa packaging agreement mechanism appeared. The push is still its own artist, but it can extract a share from the entire project. Mobile phone manufacturers directly draw commissions in the sales of complete phones in the same way but with the same results.
Of course, the premise is that you must have core competitiveness.
CAA’s core competitiveness back then was its big names, while Qualcomm’s later core competitiveness was the monopoly of 3G and even 4G patents.
Besides, for Lina and Lina, their core competitiveness is the personal strength proved by the two pseudo-documentary films, "Ghost Story" and "The Blair Witch", as well as Lina's intimate relationship with a certain man.
Now that Lena has made up her mind, Annika also turns directly to the practical issue, saying, "I think the idea they're pitching is more like Thanksgiving's The Tea Boys than the latest Scary Movie."
"That's not bad, you can contact them tomorrow and read the script first, I think it can be made into an adult version of "American Pie"."
Annika thought for a while, nodded, and said: "You can also refer to the summer "The Hangover". The foundation of the popularity of "Screaming Laughter" is really amazing."
"If you want to make both "The Hangover" and "American Pie", then you are too greedy," Lena shook Annika with a smile, and said, "We only need to make one of them, of course, or We'll discuss it in detail after we see the script."
As the two women spoke, they came downstairs to the hotel. Lina's attendant had already parked the car by the side of the road.
I got in the car and returned to the temporary villa where Lena used her privilege as a Simon woman to come. The two girls took a bath together and came to this place alone on the Upper East Side.
The master bedroom on the fourth floor of the building, lying on the big bed, continued to discuss the cooperation project with the new line, and did not sleep together until after twelve o'clock.
Get up early the next day.
Christmas is approaching, and she flew to New York from the West Coast, not just to negotiate with the New Line project, Lena will also go to Marvel in the morning to discuss the film with Frank Miller, who wrote "300 Spartans". Comic creation details.
Simon took out this creative plan and handed it over to Zack Snyder as the next project after "Resident Evil". At that time, he told Lena to find a ghostwriter in Marvel to create the comic version first. Somewhat naturally, Frank Miller, the original author of "300 Spartans" who has worked in Marvel for many years, expressed interest, and the two parties made contact and quickly finalized it.
Lena went to Marvel in the morning, while Annika headed to New Line separately to further discuss the upcoming youth horror film project.
This time it was not a pseudo-documentary film, because Lina kept in mind someone's teaching that pseudo-documentary films are only non-mainstream after all, and if they want to make a difference in Hollywood, they still have to focus on mainstream films.
At the same time, this project did not ask someone for help, but the script that Lina found herself.
The story tells a serial murder case in a high school in a small town. It happens to be a bit like "Scream" back then, but this time it is not a perverted murderer, but an evil spirit possessed murder case. In order to avoid being killed by the evil spirits one by one, several of the protagonists and heroines involved try their best to find the truth.
In general, it focuses on horror and blood, which can stimulate adrenaline.
To put it bluntly, Hollywood teen horror films are basically those routines. As long as they are not too bad, they can sell well. North American youth groups.
As for whether these films will lead to imitation crimes, that is not what everyone cares about.
There are similar lawsuits in Hollywood, but I have never heard of any film company being unlucky because of lawsuits caused by audience imitation.
