MTL - Best Actor-v3 Chapter 208 pity

To say that at the end of the first decade of the 21st century, the most popular TV series on American cable stations was "The Walking Dead". You must know that TV dramas had a viewing rate of 10 million people during the peak period. This is the data of paid cable stations, not public stations or basic cable stations.

So, as early as 2005 or so, after Sean knew about this comic, he told Vladimir that if he could, he must get the TV adaptation rights of the comic.

However, the reincarnation film industry at that time was not strong enough, and image did not intend to adapt this comic for the time being, so it was put aside. This release was released in 2007. Although Samsara had enough qualifications to produce this time, there were also many studios and TV stations that had a crush on this comic, so it became a competition for several parties.

Failing to achieve the expected goal of the producer, there is a tendency to sit on the bench again.

So he was brought in as the director of the first episode, and after participating in the screenwriting, he finally got a big piece of the cake.

Originally, Sean also wanted to get "A Song of Ice and Fire", but unfortunately HBO has already started, and I remember that it seems that HBO is solely responsible for the production, and Samsara may not be able to copy it if you get it , so forget it.

Just like Sean robbed a lot of things in the hands of Lionsgate, such as the "Chainsaw" series, but Lionsgate turned his head and signed several film contracts with Tyler Perry, a black director, before Samsara.

This black director is very interesting. Although the film is mainly made of black actors, the investment in each film is only about ten million yuan, but each film basically has tens of millions of dollars. At the box office, secondly, he basically has a movie released every year, and the funds are returned quite quickly.

Samsara Pictures wanted to sign him immediately after discovering this, but Lionsgate was a step ahead, and because of the rise of Samsara Pictures, they should have developed a little bit now. Embarrassed, a prolific and box-office director like Perry is very much needed. The conditions for opening are naturally very good, so Samsara failed to succeed.

Or The Hunger Games.

Sean's memory of those blockbusters is fairly solid. Even if he forgets, he will remember it for some reasons. As the successor of "Twilight", "The Hunger Games" will naturally be remembered. of.

Of course, apart from the name, he doesn't remember much more, and even the name "Hunger Games" took a long time to spell out, so he can only search for "Twilight Games" City", search for keywords on the Internet every day.

I have to say that Sean is very lucky, because this novel can become the key character of the movie, Nina Jacobson, Vladimir know.

Nina Jacobson worked in the Bowei film industry, which can be regarded as an old acquaintance of Vladimir, and this woman left Bowei independent portal in 2006, as for the reason, and Vladimir Ladimir is about the same.

Because of this, she has a lot of contact with Vladimir, and then she has a good relationship with the original author Susan Collins, long before the novel was completed and published, she and Susan negotiated the adaptation rights, and the first producer to find was Vladimir.

Although Vladimir also felt good, but he was not sure what the prospects were, so he asked Sean, and Sean naturally insisted that he get it. As a result, the production rights of "The Hunger Games" were obtained so effortlessly, and after negotiation, they also agreed to make "The Hunger Games" after "Twilight" ended.

Perfect isn't it? The series of movies that Sean promised to find for Haydn at the beginning was a real deal. That's right, he planned to let Haydn play the heroine. Anyway, this movie doesn't need too much acting skills, and there are some ways to make up for it.

To be frank, after reading the book, Sean really didn't understand why this kind of dystopian novels and movies that were full of loopholes and inexplicable would be sought after. But I don't want to think about it, a type of movie will become popular, that's because some people like it, and the people of North America like it, right?

Moreover, he vaguely remembered that although the various follow-up works after "The Hunger Games" died a lot, there were also a few that did well.

So forget about it, for Sean, who has become a capitalist, a movie that can make money and make his woman popular is a good movie.

As for the original heroine...who is it? Big cousin? Well, Sean only remembers her pornographic photos, which were rumored at that time. She must not have her share now, let's continue to make independent films, of course, if she is willing to spread her legs on the bed, he can also consider otherwise.

Well, that's all for the future, Sean has one more important thing to do now, which is the one Weinstein asked for—

An incomparably cheerful mood lifted the atmosphere in the screening hall.

Before this, although it was a silent film, some... um... artless guys would inevitably be sleepy, but this time I was also awakened and attracted, seriously watch it.

to the end.

Even if there is a little tail, even if there are a few rare lines, the sound of the percussion still lingers in the hearts of the audience. So, when the movie ends and the subtitles start rolling, applause begins.

"Thank you, thank you all." As the male lead, Sean naturally wants to go up with everyone, and express his gratitude to the audience who attended the premiere before the screen where the projection lights were turned off.

He was in a good mood. Although he noticed that someone was drowsy, those film critics were basically watching intently throughout the process.

Think about it too, movies were born in France, and the New Wave movement was also the first in France, so the French will inevitably look above the top, even if they have been completely squeezed out of the market by Hollywood , and also hum twice while holding the art.

So, when the "Artist" full of art and nostalgia appeared at the Cannes Film Festival, even if the film was dull, they had to watch it with great interest, and after the end Sing praises.

"What do you think they'll say when our red carpet photos show up in the paper tomorrow." Sean asked Weinstein at the party later.

"Don't worry, Sean, it's mostly good words," Weinstein replied with a smile, "Even if this is a Hollywood movie, it's about Hollywood things, but his director is a French."

"By the end of the year they won't think so." Sean shrugged.

"Do you still need to care about their feelings at the end of the year?" Weinstein laughed, "But, it's you, are you ready?"

"Sure," Shawn nodded, "I have a good goal."

Follow the conversation: "However, I can only say do my best, you know, I can't affect everyone."

"It's okay," Weinstein didn't care, "then I'll wait for your good news."

He really doesn't need to care. For him, whether "The Artist" can compete for the best film at the Oscars next year is the key. Best actor is Sean's business. What's more, even if it is done successfully, it will only stabilize the probability at 70%.

However, Sean still has to go all out. As mentioned above, this is his business, and he has a chance anyway.

"I saw it, of course I saw it, but I didn't expect you to make a silent film, which is a bold and interesting idea." On the sunny balcony with sea views, a five The middle-aged man in his teens said to Sean with a smile while sitting under the parasol.

You can also feel the weakness in it. Even so, his spirit is still very good, and his eyes are full of enthusiasm, as if no one can knock him down.

"This is not my idea," Sean spread his hands, "I just wanted to make a nostalgic movie, but when I called a group of people over to discuss, he said It's become like this now."

"I guess Harvey's opinion played a decisive role?" The other party asked with a smile.

"I can't hide it from you," Sean shrugged with a smile, "He made a lot of suggestions, and it was his idea to make a silent film."

"I know him, Harvey, he knows very well the preferences of those people in the film school. You have found a good help, Sean." Very cunning.

"Okay okay, I can't hide anything from you, dear Tony," Sean can only helplessly raise his hands, "Yes, that's my goal, you won't think I Too arrogant?"

"Of course not, I know very well, Sean, from the first time we worked together, I knew you would be a great actor, a great actor." Anthony Minghella smiles He said very seriously.

"Thank you, Tony," Sean was silent, looking at him with pity in his heart, "I'm glad that my first work was with you, and you led me Entering this circle, you have taught me a lot, and you are my mentor."

After a pause, he said again: "Although you will no longer be able to direct movies in the future, in my heart, you will always be the best director in the world."

Does anyone know that this world-renowned director has a lifespan of two to three years at most?
