The King of Directors 2000

The weather in New York is getting cooler in September, but at this time, the city’s cultural and entertainment activities are getting more and more popular.

Almost every night, there are large-scale concerts, and there are many singers who come to have a good time.

As for operas, plays, talk shows, charity events, etc., there are countless more.

On this night, at the entrance of the Empire Hotel on Broadway Road in Manhattan, the lights were bright and a long red carpet was spread from the entrance to the intersection.

Luxury cars stopped one after another, and men and women with luxurious clothes and elegant temperaments got out one after another.

A charity dinner will be held here, attended by many beautiful celebrities.

DiCaprio, Tom Hanswick, and Angelina Jolie will all be participating.

These people are eligible to walk on the red carpet and enter through the main entrance.

There are also many people who are not qualified to walk on the red carpet and enter through the side door.

A large part of these people are party girls, girls who specialize in eating, drinking, and enlivening the atmosphere.

They can't make money by doing this, but they can have the opportunity to meet beautiful celebrities and make money.

So even though it looks unfashionable, many girls in the beautiful country are flocking to it.

In order to get such an opportunity, they even have to spend money to buy information.

There are a lot of party girls tonight, but most of them have no chance to get close to Hollywood A-listers like Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanswick.

The bodyguards of the superstars will be the first to stop these girls who want to become famous overnight.

Of course, not all young girls are party girls. In fact, there are some girls who are very talented and want to show their abilities.

Hildy Guznadottir is such a girl.

She is from Iceland and has loved music since she was a child. When she grew up, she dreamed of becoming a film and television composer.

She feels that through music, the appeal of film and television dramas can be increased, and the emotions of film and television dramas can be more fully expressed.

Iceland has a sparse population and almost no resources for film and television production.

Of course she couldn't work in Iceland.

To realize the dream.

She actively recommended herself in Europe and got job opportunities. She has completed the soundtrack of two movies, called "Jane" and "The Wrath of the Sea".

"Jane" is a German war film.

"Piracy" is a Danish film that reflects modern pirates.

Both films are of decent quality and Hildy's scores are excellent.

But because German and Danish films have little influence.

Even if Hildy is talented, not many people know about it.

In order to get more job opportunities, in order to better express myself.

Hildy crossed the Atlantic Ocean to the Land of the Beautiful, where she wanted to succeed.

However, the beautiful country ranks first in the world of movies and attracts outstanding talents from all over the world.

Hildy was not outstanding among these people. She had recommended herself for several months without success.

It cannot be said that Hollywood producers have solid ideas.

In this era, there are actually relatively few outstanding female film composers.

They are responsible for their own works, and naturally they dare not give the opportunity to Hildy easily.

She is also very aware of this. She is not discouraged, but plans to continue her efforts to promote herself to more Hollywood producers.

This time I sneaked into a charity dinner just to communicate with Hollywood producers up close.

She was lucky enough to find a Sony producer who was alone.

This is a man in his forties, over 1.6 meters tall, short, with very short legs, small eyes and a small nose, and the appearance of an island nation.

"Mr. Matsumoto, hello, I am Hildy..."

Hildy stepped forward and introduced herself enthusiastically, but she stopped before the words could be finished.

Matsumoto, who came from the island country, glanced at Hildy with a sly look, then turned around and walked to the lounge nearby.

Next to the hall of this charity dinner, there are lounges that look like private rooms.

Some monkeys are anxious to get men and women, and they will do things if they enter them.

The way Matsumoto looked, he obviously thought of Hildy as a party girl and felt that she would offer herself to her.

Hildy paused for a moment, came to her senses, and planned to follow up to explain.

"Mr. Matsumoto, I am..."

When Matsumoto saw Hildy following him, he was so anxious at the thought of riding a pony that he immediately took off his shirt.

The light in the lounge is dark red, slightly ambiguous.

Seeing this, Hildy hurriedly explained: "I am a film and television drama scorer. I have completed the soundtrack for two movies. I heard that Sony has many film and television drama projects in the future. I can work for you. "

When Matsumoto heard this, he had a constipated face and a pair of small eyes showing impatience.

He waved his hand and said, "You don't need to tell me such things. I don't know now. Unless you can refresh my mind, maybe we can have a more intimate meeting."

Hildy hurriedly explained: "I'm not that kind of person, Mr. Matsumoto. I want to use my talents to work for Sony. Can you give me a chance?"

Matsumoto heard this and then untied his belt, "Then it depends on your performance."

Hildy couldn't help but feel sick when she saw that Matsumoto looked wretched and was not taller than herself. Then she turned around and walked out quickly, closing the door heavily at the same time.

"boom!"

The light in the lounge is blocked inside.

Matsumoto's lewd gaze was also blocked.

Hildy felt that her hands and feet were not clean, and she wanted to find a place to take a bath.

However, considering the purpose of coming here, Hildy took a deep breath and planned to continue to find producers, directors, and famous actors to promote herself to them.

Hildy is very mobile, and she quickly recommended herself to all the targets she could contact.

But it was obvious that no one took the words of a young girl like her seriously. These people rejected her without hesitation.

Others learned that she was from Iceland and became interested.

"I've never tried an Icelandic girl, maybe there are other projects we can work on together."

Too bad Hildy wasn't interested in other projects.

She was rejected by everyone and had no choice but to leave with the wine glass in hand.

"Haha, look at our great musician, she is so outstanding, she has vowed to become the best soundtrack master in Hollywood."

The person who spoke was a party girl, because Hildy had sneaked in under the name of a party girl before, so her story was known to others.

Seeing his expression at this time, these girls naturally understood that Hildy had not succeeded and couldn't help laughing.

Hildy rolled her eyes.

She has no competitive relationship with them. They are completely incompatible with each other. She doesn't understand why they are ridiculing her.

Don’t these people have empathy?

At this moment, there was a surge at the entrance of the hall, and many party girls pushed forward.

When Hildy saw this, she was also curious, who is here? "It's Lee, and Toby Emmerich from Warner Bros."

plum?

Toby Emmerich?

Hildy immediately thought of who these two people were, one was the director of "Joker" and the other was the producer of "Joker".

Lee Sheng-yew is tall, handsome, and very young. He is completely different from the director Hildy had in mind.

Like a superstar, he appeared in the hall and was immediately surrounded by a group of people in the center.

The people surrounding him are not party girls, but top actors and singers from beautiful countries.

Although the media in Hollywood often report negative news about Lee Sheng Yew.

But the "Hangover" series and "Taken" series have proven themselves.

Not to mention that with Li Shengyao’s status in the film industry, he is a lifelong Oscar judge and will definitely be a judge at the three major European film festivals in the future.

These actors and singers naturally want to have a good relationship with Lee Sung-Yew.

Those party girls can't even get close.

Toby Emmerich is relatively ordinary. There are not so many big shots around him, but party girls can get close to him.

Hildy saw this, thought about it, and walked towards Emmerich.

No matter what, Toby Emmerich is a well-known Hollywood producer and has a lot to say at Warner Pictures.

Several party girls saw Emmerich and immediately pounced on him.

They then raised their glasses, gathered around Emmerich, and toasted to him.

These girls had hot bodies and scantily clad clothes. Emmerich was not afraid and took the girls to the side, chatting and laughing.

Hildy couldn't help but frowned when she saw this.

The famous Emmerich is like this. Are all Hollywood producers reincarnated as perverts?

She held up the wine glass, turned to look into the glass mirror, and saw a tall young woman.

The appearance is probably 70%, but the figure is acceptable, and the skin is fair, so there is actually a market for him.

As long as she attends such a party, a boy will definitely invite her.

In the banquet hall, the core people are Li Shengyao, DiCaprio, Tom Hanske, and then there are powerful producers like Emmerich.

There were many girls around them.

The clinking of wine glasses continued, the men said interesting things, and the women burst into laughter.

From time to time, handsome men and beautiful women would catch their eyes, and then slowly go to the lounge.

In the fragrance of perfume, red wine, and various pastries, they let their inner tastes flourish.

Emmerich brought a hot woman into the rest room.

It lasted about ten minutes, and the woman came out first.

Emmerich waited for twenty minutes before walking out.

Seeing this, Hildy gritted her teeth and quickly rushed over.

No matter what, recommend yourself.

It was hard for her to decide whether Emmerich could fall in love with her, but she had come all the way from Iceland and must take action.

"Hello, I am Hildy from Iceland. I am a film scorer. I have scored for "Jane" and "The Last Days". I have been praised by German film magazines. I am determined to become a film scorer. Excellent composer, please give me a chance."

Emmerich had just had a sex, and now he was feeling refreshed and thinking clearly. He squinted his eyes and listened to Hildy's words. He realized that this girl was not a party girl, and then said slowly: "You Why am I not impressed by the two movies you mentioned?"

"They are not Hollywood films. 'Jane' is a German film and 'The Last of Us' is a Danish film."

Hildy's voice dropped a lot at the end.

Hollywood filmmakers naturally have a sense of superiority. Unless they win the grand prize at the three major European film festivals, they really don't like ordinary movies.

Her resume doesn't lend itself to Emmerich's advantage.

After hearing this, Emmerich thought for a while and asked: "In your situation, I can give you a chance."

He then took out his business card and said, "I am in New York during this period. I will return to Los Angeles next week. Then you can find me at the Warner Pictures headquarters in Los Angeles.

I can't make any promises to you.

We have professional evaluators to judge your ability. If you feel you are qualified, then go for it. As long as you pass the evaluation, we will give you opportunities and resources. "

Hildy was excited when she heard this.

Although she had recommended herself so many times, the producers of Beautiful Country were dismissive of her resume and did not give her a chance to express herself.

And Emmerich is giving her a chance now.

"Thank you, Mr. Emmerich, I believe your new movie will be a hit."

Emmerich smiled and nodded, "I hope so."

Hildy then found a seat, holding a glass of wine, looking at the beautiful night scene outside the window, imagining her future in Warner Pictures.

She was confident yet apprehensive, looking forward to yet worried.

At this moment, a nice male voice sounded, "Excuse me."

Hildy thought it was a man striking up a conversation and turned around with a smile, only to see Li Shengyao standing straight behind her.

Behind Li Shengyao, there were several women looking at her enviously.

"plum……"

"Can we chat? I have something to discuss with you."

Hildy was the one who composed the music for "Joker" in Lee Sung-yew's previous life. She was extremely talented.

After scoring the soundtrack for "The Last Days" in 2013, she came to Hollywood, but no one believed in her ability.

It wasn't until three years later that she gradually conquered Hollywood producers.

She scored "Sicario 2017" in 2, and then "Joker" in 2019.

At the 2000 Oscars, "Joker" won the Best Original Score Award.

It also won the Best Original Score Award at the Golden Globe Awards, the first time this award was won by a female composer.

Hildy's style is to integrate music into the plot of the movie, rather than overriding the plot. Her soundtrack plays an important role in character creation and psychological description, improving the quality of the movie.

Under this style, Hildy needs a lot of time to read the script, and she needs to know the director's intention in making the film.

Li Shengyao then directly explained his intention. He invited Hildy to become the soundtrack composer of "Joker".

He would give him the script immediately, but there was a time limit.

Hildy needs to complete the film score by September next year.

Hildy's eyes widened and she stared at Li Shengyao. Her nose moved slightly and she smelled the rich aroma of wine.

She also heard the sound of girls' high heels hitting the ground.

The light makes the eyes uncomfortable.

She was sure that she was not dreaming, that all this was real, and that she really got an invitation from Lee Sheng Yew.

“I’m the scorer on ‘Joker’ and I’ll be working on Lee’s new film.

It's amazing, I... I'm going to score Lee's new movie. "
