American winner takes all

Chapter 62 Accidental collision (4K5)

As a "film and television base", BHHS has appeared in many film and television dramas, not to mention traditional school dramas such as "Beverly Over" and "Glee", and even "Smallville" (drama version) and "Desperate Housewives" We will also shoot scenes here in the future.

If you want to shoot here, you must pay relevant fees, abide by campus regulations, and most importantly, you need the approval of the principal.

Coincidentally, during the showdown with Burbank High School, the principal gave Ethan his office number and private number, and told him to "turn it on for you 24 hours a day."

He kept his promise, and when Ethan called him at 11:30 that night, he wasn't impatient at all.

"MV crew, why are you asking about this? You don't want to join Hollywood, do you? Ethan, this is not a good choice." As soon as Ethan asked, the principal said quickly.

Because the school is relatively close to some production crews, many students have had this idea and want to play some guest roles.

This is obviously not a good choice for a rising rugby star.

"I swear I won't try to enter the entertainment industry right now." Ethan said immediately.

He really has no idea of ​​"being an actor". Apart from his appearance, he really has no talent in this area.He preferred the manager Lisa mentioned to him.Stand behind the scenes and use your future memories to discover some female stars. If possible, sit on the red sofa occasionally and make money comfortably with your back against the big Lisa tree. The most important thing is that managers don’t need to invest themselves. Too much attention.

It's a perfect side job.

As for off-court, whether it is a charity sale in the name of charity or purely commercial sales, it is an extra income.

The investment in Murphy's will naturally be counted as additional bonuses for the game.

Finally, raising the GPA score is all Ethan's current plans.

"I just personally admire director David Fincher and want to meet him in person." Ethan explained the reason.

John was relieved. If Ethan really made up his mind to leave the green field, it would undoubtedly be a loss to the school and even the entire rugby movement.

"The filming plan signed by the school and Propaganda Films is from 2 to 6 pm the day after tomorrow. During this time period, the corresponding film crew can come to the school."

Propaganda Films is the producer of the MV titled "Crazy".

"I advise you to go there as soon as possible. These MV shoots usually only last a few hours."

In the end, John also mentioned that Ethan should pay attention to the tax return of sales. In fact, he knew in his heart that Ethan was making money in this way, but it was obviously good for the school, so he turned a blind eye.

·
The next afternoon, BHHS.

"Why are you here?" Liv Tyler, who had just changed clothes at the scene, was confused.

"I'm looking for David Fincher, where is he?" Ethan asked directly, taking a look at Liv at this time.

She put on a very "classical" campus outfit, black leather shoes, a wide pleated skirt, white stockings, and a white shirt.

Now Ethan finally knows who she inherited her big face from.Fortunately, her facial features inherited from her mother are quite neat.

At this moment, coupled with her big and smart eyes, looking at herself curiously, the apples of her cheeks are slightly red, and her innocent big face, these combinations give her a natural look that all the girls around Ethan don't have. The characteristic is a special campus feeling.

Of course, it's definitely not fair to say that you are thin and white, after all, you have a good stature, but it is still different from those "sexy bitches" in the cheerleading team.

She pointed to a room not far away.

"Are you here for the interview too?"

"No, it's another thing." Ethan came with the script, followed Liv's guidance and walked into the room and saw David Fincher now.

Compared with the bearded state in his memory, David Fincher was younger at this time, with a round face, small eyes, and a large brain. He looked a little harmless. It is hard to believe that it was such a person who shot many classic black films in the future. movie, I’m afraid even David Fincher himself doesn’t believe it at this time.He was at a low point in his life.

He seemed a little distracted at the moment. The male guest actors he had just interviewed were too bad and did not meet the requirements of the mv script at all. What he wanted was a muscular man, the kind who could make girls scream and whistle when he took off his shirt... Thinking about it Then he noticed Ethan who was at the end of the queue.

"The one at the back, come to the front!" His eyes lit up and he immediately waved to Ethan.I caught the eye of Ethan's appearance at just one glance, with his perfect facial contours, blue eyes, slightly messy golden hair, and a natural toughness and resolute temperament from the inside out.

Originally, Ethan wasn't going to interrupt the interview directly, but he didn't expect to be noticed directly.

"Sorry, I'm not here to interview some MV actor, I'm just a student on this campus." Ethan stated his intention.

"I recruit students, and what I want is the youthful feeling in the students." David Finch touched his chin.

"Can you take off your shirt?" David Fincher suddenly asked.

"I'm a rugby player in school, and I still have training." Ethan shook his head.

"It's not today, it's tomorrow's scene, shot in the countryside. It only takes half a day, and the remuneration is 200 US dollars, including transportation back and forth."

This is already the reward for a special type of actor.

Ethan thought for a while: "In that case... you have to pay more."

Anyway, it’s only half a day, so I won’t delay my training.

David Fincher was lost in thought.

"300."

"make a deal!"

Ethan took off his shirt, revealing a body of tendons that immediately made David Fincher couldn't help but exclaim.

"Tsk, tsk, look at this big double-door refrigerator, can you move it?" David Finch's eyes were shining, and his tone was laced with a hint of homosexuality.

If Ethan hadn't known that he would later be engaged to Robin White, Jenny from Forrest Gump and the good wife of General Kinoshita, he would have really thought that he was an old Siki.

And when Ethan really moved, David Fincher immediately asked the others to leave.

"The guest actor recruitment has been completed, you can go out."

And wait for David Fincher and Ethan to finish discussing the specific requirements for filming.Ethan took out a stack of scripts from the satchel he carried with him.

"What does this mean?" David Finch seemed a little confused.

"This is my original intention. I am actually a fan of yours. I have a script in hand. I think only you can capture the soul of this movie..."

"Don't be ridiculous, I may never be able to direct a movie again in this life." David Fincher would not believe the nonsense of a high school student.

"Answer me after you finish reading this script. This script will make you want to take charge of the director again." Ethan said slowly in a particularly calm tone.

David Fincher was stunned for a moment, then immediately waved his hand.

"Sorry, the interview is over now and I have to officially start work. We won't talk about anything else except the MV shooting." "Unless you promise me to read the script later." Ethan looked reluctant.

David Fincher said helplessly: "OK, you have the final say, please leave now."

Ethan left the copied script on the table. Anyway, he would come to the music video crew tomorrow and ask about the results then.

And when Ethan was waiting at the meeting place as agreed the next day, David Fincher actually drove his car to pick him up.

"Hey, young man, how did you sleep last night? You seem to be in good spirits and you are still so handsome." David Finch grinned and smiled dryly, obviously very much trying to please Ethan.

There is only one reason why there is such a big difference, he has read the script.And I really like the dark, cold and melancholy temperament in the film, and regard this as an opportunity for me to make a comeback.

Ethan got into the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt: "Want to talk about this script?"

"Of course, I think it's generally good, but making a movie is a little bit boring. I'm going to buy out the script and then adapt it. If I want the authorship rights, we can discuss it again. Who is this Mia O'Connor?" David Fincher said immediately.

"How much are you going to pay?"

"How about 1 US dollars? This price is very reasonable. Newcomers often sell it for only a few thousand dollars."

When Ethan didn't say anything, he increased the price to 1W5.

"Do you know Lisa Vigil? She is also helping me sell the script. She is a friend of my mother. A video distribution company is interested in the script and is willing to bid 15, but Mia does not want to adapt the script into a plasma film. CULT tablet." Ethan said.

"15 is too high. I can't afford it. It's only [-] at most." David Finch grinned and felt a little painful.Although he wanted this script very much, the price was still beyond his limit.

On the way to his destination, Santa Clarita, Ethan saw many nanny vans, as well as trucks and pickup trucks carrying large photography equipment.Santa Clarita is one of the commonly used filming locations in Hollywood, with many ranches, farms, and hills.

"Why not take a chance for your own future? Do you want to make music videos for the rest of your life? This is your last chance." Ethan looked out the window at the vast fields.

After the vehicle passed the iconic "Welcome to Santa Clarita" roadside sign, David Finch chose to pull over.

"You win, I am willing to pay a higher price to buy this script." David Fincher said helplessly. He admitted that what Ethan said was true. For him, this is an opportunity to return to Hollywood.

"But I have to team up with a producer to fund the purchase. I will give you definite news within three days."

"20W, give me the news within one day today, they are still waiting there." Ethan threw out his target price.

The price is indeed high, but compared to scripts written by famous screenwriters, they are still cheap. For copies of Jedi Men, which was filmed this year, the script sold for seven figures. The script of "Forrest Gump" is adapted from Winston Groom's novel of the same name, and the transaction price is 7 million.

"20W? Why don't you go grab the money?!" David Fincher complained.

But Ethan had already got out of the car and started to put on makeup.

In the MV field, this is definitely a big production. The staff wrote the word "crazy" in huge cursive letters on the wheat field overnight, and aerial footage from a helicopter will be used later.

All Ethan had to do was take off his shirt to reveal his well-developed muscles.

Ethan first had a makeup artist apply waterproof bronzer foundation to his exposed skin, and then applied a layer of essential oil to make him look stronger.

Halfway through the makeup, the two heroines also arrived, namely Liv Tyler and another blonde girl.In the MV, the two acted as a "teen version of Thelma and Louise" - skipping school, buying clothes, going to bars, driving around, and met a young farmer driving a tractor played by Ethan on the roadside, and then The farmer got into their car and swam in the river with the two beauties, but was teased and abandoned by the two. Ethan ran naked to chase the car...

The MV does not require any acting skills. It is more about letting unknown young actors release their hormones in front of the camera. It has always been a springboard for actors to contact the big screen.After an afternoon of shooting, only the last shot in the script remained.

The farmer played by Ethan caught up with the 90 convertible Mustang, jumped into the passenger seat, and attacked Liv Tyler.

Of course, it is a fight between men and women, and the plot is similar to a joke.

When encountering this kind of bridge, Ethan naturally showed an extremely dedicated attitude.It can be said that it was completely immersed, but the problem was on Liv's side, so she had to reshoot it multiple times in a row.

At first, Liv was still in a state of trepidation, but after a few times she became a little resistant. After being lectured by the director, "I'm not committed enough, I have to follow the example of Ethan" and finally chose to accept it.

Finally, the shooting is over.

"Are you okay? I'm really sorry. The script is written like this and I can't stop." Ethan immediately went to Liv to explain.

The implication is that some offensive behavior is purely careless.

Liv shook her head. She was not happy at first. Seeing that Ethan was so sincere, she couldn't get angry, so she could only nod and said: "It doesn't matter. This is how shooting is. I was not mentally prepared."

"That's good, otherwise I really don't know how to shoot the second MV." Ethan nodded pretentiously.

"And the lower part?"

"Yes, there are a lot of kissing scenes in the MV. Didn't the director tell you?" Ethan looked puzzled.

"Huh?" Liv was frightened.Then he noticed the smile on Ethan's face, and realized that he was teasing her. It reminded him of the scene where he was swimming in the river just now, and he had been touched by him many times underwater.

"I'll tell Catherine when I get back that you bullied me!" She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pretended to beat her up.

At this time, David Fincher came over, and Liv quickly put down her hand. She thought the director had something to say to her, but she saw him running straight towards Ethan.

"We are sure to buy that script for 20W. We can sign the copyright transfer agreement tonight."

The sound reached Liv's ears, causing her to freeze.

The director actually wants to buy the script from Ethan, and the price is 20?She was really surprised.

Ethan nodded, and after confirming some details with David Finch, David Finch went to do other work.

"I didn't see it, you are still a professional screenwriter." Liv felt that it was really incredible.

In her stereotype, big guys tend to be the ones with simpler brains, but Ethan is not this type at all.Apart from the excessive behavior just now, she couldn't find any other obvious shortcomings in Ethan.

As for that kind of behavior, not all men are like this, it's just the difference between what they think and what they actually do.Liv had already seen through men, and besides, things like filming were unavoidable, so she didn't think it was a big deal. On the contrary, she felt that it was easier to accept Ethan's straightforwardness, at least he was more real.

"For the next music video, I suggested to my father that you be the leading actor?" Liv suddenly suggested.

"If there is a kissing scene, I think you would be more suitable." Liv then smiled innocently.Rather than shoot kissing scenes with others, she prefers to shoot with Ethan.

Ethan’s words remain unchanged for thousands of years.

"You have to pay more."

After the filming, Ethan conducted intensive training with the team, and at the same time received an invitation letter from the high school sports department, officially inviting him to participate in the All-Star Game.The script was also sold smoothly, and 20 cents was a lot. The contract signed was not the template contract of the Screenwriters Guild, but specially drawn up by Lisa, and the seller was not Mia personally, but a limited partnership owned by Lisa. Copyright operating company, Mia first transferred the copyright to this company, and then received the "company profit share" in advance as a partner. Of course, this income still has to be reported in taxes, the difference is more or less.

A week later, he, Lisa, and Lisa's secretary set off to board a plane to Orlando...
