   Chapter 463 Although the famous flower has a master, I come to loosen the soil

Los Angeles, USA.

   It always seems to be sunny here, especially in summer.

   To be precise, Los Angeles in summer is so hot.

   But some people's mood is even hotter than the weather outside.

   "My dear dad, have a very, very good job!"

"Really?"

   "Really, this job is...I can't believe it."

   "What can't you believe, my son is so handsome and has no problem with any job."

   "Do you know James Cameron?"

   "Oh, it's actually him?!"

   "Yes, it's him, hahaha..."

   "His current movie... don't tell me?"

   "That's right, it's that one, and there's also mom, right, dad, are you coming?"

   "I really want to try this."

The little guy who called    was very excited, which made Gary Oldman feel it even through the phone line.

  Yes, this little guy is a little plum.

   He played Gary Oldman's son in "Breaking Bad", which made the two of them have a very good relationship, which is a deep friendship.

   Ever since, he often called Gary Oldman his father.

   This is actually nothing in Europe and America, but a very close feeling.

   But this time, Xiao Lizi found a very good job.

   Yes, it’s just called work.

  Gary Oldman didn't care too much at first. Isn't this job a movie, but after he heard the name James Cameron, he didn't calm down.

   This is really a great director!

  Although Zemeckis and Spielberg are famous at the moment, James Cameron is more energetic.

   That's right, it's vigor.

   Not to mention ordinary people in the United States, even in Hollywood, there are many people who comment on James Cameron, saying that his movies represent the future.

   And now this movie…

   Gary Oldman knows it!

"Titanic"!

   According to legend, many years ago, a large ship bound for the United States from England, the ship slammed into an iceberg and then sank.

   What kind of story will a movie like this have?

   In other words, what can be drawn from this story?

   Can't blame Gary Oldman because he doesn't even know what this movie is about right now.

   That's right, he knew there was such a movie, because the movie had already had a pre-promotion before.

   And, Gary Oldman also knew the input of the film.

   It is said to be 200 million US dollars!

  200 million dollars, this era is really **** up, spending 200 million dollars just to make a movie.

   Although Gary Oldman expressed some emotion in his heart and expressed some anger towards this reality, he was also aware of it.

   This is indeed a very powerful blockbuster!

   These years, Hollywood has invested 200 million yuan really not many.

   Actually, Gary Oldman doesn't know yet, the movie's $200 million is actually unbearable.

   Of course, James himself doesn't know about going over budget.

   Well, to be more precise, it’s a common occurrence to go over budget, but I didn’t expect it to go over that much.

  So, what is Gary Oldman going to do?

  My 'son' Xiao Lizi has already gone to the audition, probably he should be able to pass the audition, and he will audition himself?

   Of course we will go, but some things are better to have a good discussion.

   Gary Oldman naturally thought of a person for this discussion.

  …

  Tokyo.

   "Oh, you mean this movie."

   "What? Don't you know this movie too?"

   "Isn't there already some publicity for this movie before, of course I know it."

"Oh, that."

   "What? Is it Xiao Lizi who went to the audition?"

   "You know that too?"

   "Oh, just heard, heard."

  To be honest, Takeshi Iwata was really surprised, and Gary Oldman's call surprised him.

   However, when he mentioned this 'big ship', Takeshi Iwata naturally came to his senses.

   That's right, it's really going to 'sail'.

   To say that before, he Iwata Takeshi already had a little bit of layout.

   Well, it can be said that nothing is done at all.

   About the movie "Titanic", any traveler will know, and will have thought about whether they can do it.

   But, as a rule, there is little chance of this.

   This movie itself is a very important movie. Twentieth Century Fox, a big Hollywood company, has long valued this movie.

   For James Cameron, it can be said that there is a big bleeding.

   Of course, we ordinary traversers can actually do very little.

   Those who understand the film industry will be very clear that it is almost impossible for this film to do some "intervention" behavior.

  Cameron is not easy to deal with. This guy has his own 'point of view' on movies.

   He will never allow others to do anything to his work, and the film itself involves a lot of things.

  Iwata Takeshi is a 'generally dressed man', right? There is not much he can do.

   But right now, he has a good idea.

   Gary Oldman's phone call was a wake-up call for him, and there are some small stories in this movie that Takeshi Iwata can use.

   It's just the current thing...

   "Little plum will definitely get the male lead."

   "Huh? Are you so sure?"

   "Yes, I'm pretty sure."

"So…"

   "Gary, let's be honest, I'm not quite sure about your words."

"why?"

   "Don't you know the reason for this?"

"you…"

   "Yes, the world is all about faces."

   Takeshi Iwata's remarks silenced Gary Oldman.

   This is too hurtful!

  It must be emphasized that Gary Oldman is not bad, although, if you look closely, as far as he is concerned, he is a little old-fashioned.

   But this is because he acts all year round, and often plays older roles, the result of various make-up.

   His forehead is very old, and it feels like he is 50 years old.

   Other places are much better.

   However, people cannot compare.

   If you compare it with Xiao Lizi?

  Look at people, young and handsome.

   In fact, for now, Gary Oldman doesn't know the circumstances of Xiao Lizi's audition at the time.

  According to James Cameron, on the day Xiao Lizi came, the staff of the entire crew, women.

   All came to see him.

   It is precisely because of this that James Cameron selected him.

  Little plum is fundamentally speaking, he does not have much Hollywood nepotism and background.

   That is to say, his backing cannot be said to be absent at all, but at the beginning, it was really the same thing.

   In short, it's all because of his face.

   And because of this reason, he relied on his face to be hot, and then he tried his best to polish his acting skills, so this guy is indeed a very simple guy from some angles.

  Iwata Takeshi remembers that there was a supermodel who broke up with Xiao Lizi later, and complained about the girl's flirting skills.

  Xiao Lizi is rich anyway, so he built a movie theater with "Star Wars" in it, and then Xiao Lizi slashed around in the theater with two lightsabers.

   This stuff... Actually, it's pretty cute, right?

   But obviously, Xiao Lizi's way of picking up girls is also very simple.

   is by that face.

   Of course, Xiao Lizi has a very simple taste, and he likes supermodels.

   Well, the above things are not important at the moment, Xiao Lizi is still a well-behaved young man.

but…

   "Really not?" Gary Oldman seemed very lost.

   Actually, Takeshi Iwata thinks that there seems to be no role for Gary Oldman in this movie.

   Let's just say that Little Plum Jack's rival in love, who was the American steel tycoon at that time, and his actor was Billy Zane.

  Don't underestimate him, he is quite famous.

   With a handsome face and elegant temperament, he is actually one of the early 'Super Heroes'.

   has acted as a superhero, but he did not really carry the box office.

   So, what about others?

  Gary Oldman can still be a coffee now, who can he play?

   So, can't Takeshi Iwata say something nice?

   Comfort your friends.

   Actually, Takeshi Iwata has another purpose.

   "Of course, it's good for you to try it, but it's just my personal feeling... Actually, even if you can't join this movie, there are other ways."

   "Oh? How?"

   Gary Oldman actually obeyed Takeshi Iwata from the very early morning. He is indeed very good at acting, but in many things.

   This Englishman has long discovered that Takeshi Iwata has a special talent, he can always find the right way to solve things.

   So, what is the method this time?

"You think, if Xiao Lizi and Kathy Bates can join, you will not be a stranger, you can go to the class, you can have a relationship with James Lara, even if you can't participate in this movie, you can come later. Movies should have a chance.

   Moreover, there is another important thing here. The investment in this movie is huge. So, do you think the investors will make money? "

   As soon as these words came out, Gary Oldman seemed to have discovered a brand new continent.

Yes!

  You can use this relationship to make friends with the great director.

   But, the question of investment…

   Two hundred million dollars!

   If you want to make money from the movie market, it will at least get over $600 million at the box office here in the United States!

  Can do this, in terms of the North American film market for such a long time, only "Forrest Gump" has done it, and this is a phenomenal work.

   So, the risk for Twentieth Century Fox is huge.

So…

   "I see, you will support me, right, Iwata?"

   "Yes, of course I will support you, and you can also help the great director."

"Great!"

   What are they talking about?

  Iwata Takeshi remembers very well that 20th Century Fox was indeed the investor in the film, but when the film was about to be released, they sold the distribution rights to Paramount.

   This is what actually happened in history, it sounds like nonsense.

   But Twentieth Century Fox considered it at the time, and there were very good reasons.

   James Cameron took too long to shoot, about four years before and after, they really couldn't wait, and the investment was too big.

   Afraid of losing at the box office, he simply avoided the risk and realized it.

   And now, Takeshi Iwata is ready to step in!

   As the saying goes, although famous flowers have owners, let me loosen the soil.

  …

  PS: Yesterday, that was what the officials of a certain big country did. Forget it, it’s hard to talk about it. Today, I wish all women a happy holiday.
