China Entertainment: Great directors start by winning actresses

Chapter 101 Pain Mask Scarlett Limited Edition
Su Zhe and Scarlett's in-depth exploration of the laws of life.

"A night of fun."

Scarlett was lying lazily on the bed. She was playing with her phone boredly and asked, "Su, are you here to shoot a new movie?"

"Well, that's natural."

Su Zhe nodded with a smile and gently stroked the silk like milk.

"Su, am I here?"

"You are really greedy! Can't you even be satisfied with a $2 million movie heroine?"

"Haha, which Hollywood star would dislike having too many good movies?" Scarlett said angrily.

"There is no place for you in this movie."

"Hmph, I won't give it all to your three little women from Asia." Scarlett jumped on Su Zhe and looked at him with an unhappy face.

"Of course not. The three of them are just here to play supporting roles. At most, they have a few lines that are incomparable to a big star like you."

Apparently, Su Zhe arranged for three Asian guys to join the crew of "Death is Coming", which has spread throughout Hollywood.

News in the entertainment industry may spread the fastest.

"Okay, it's not like I won't let you act in my movies in the future."

"There is basically no heroine in this movie. It is a male-led drama." Su Zhe said frankly.

"I've almost made enough money now. Can I win an Oscar with this attempt? If not, I can win a Golden Globe."

"What! Is Columbia willing to help you run it?" Scarlett looked at Su Zhe with surprise.

"Of course!"

"If they hadn't promised it, this movie would have been an entertainment blockbuster."

He decided to film "The Shawshank Redemption" this time, naturally because of the conditions given to him by Columbia.

They want to win over Su Zhe, and the profits have basically been given to the top of Hollywood, leaving Su Zhe as the missing name.

"Oscar awards are naturally what I need most."

"Sue, I want to participate, even if it's just a small role."

"You no longer want to shoot literary movies." Su Zhe looked at her with a smile on his face.

"No, I don't want to miss being able to participate in an Oscar-competing movie." Scarlett said as she began to show off her various martial arts skills.

Su Zhe couldn't help but shook his head.

"In my movie, the heroine is just a supporting role, not important at all, and the heroine will cheat on other people."

"It's okay, I just want to accumulate qualifications."

"Then it depends on your performance."

Scarlett once again showed Su Zhe the powerful strength of Hollywood stars.

The natural talents of Europeans and Americans cannot be compared with those of Asians with small bones.

In terms of desire, they are much stronger than normal Asians.

An hour ago, the two of them were naturally evenly matched.

"call!"

Scarlett lay in his arms with a flushed face and asked: "Su, what kind of movie do you plan to make?"

"A feature film script based on the second novel in Stephen King's collection of novellas, Different Seasons, "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption."

Su Zhe liked this movie very much, so when he found out that the copyright of this novel was not for sale, he immediately went to buy it himself.

"I didn't expect you to actually have the idea of ​​​​Stephen King. After all, you already have so many books in your hands and you still want to shoot this movie." Scarlett looked at him with a sigh.

Although "The Shawshank Redemption" is known as the most perfect movie in history, and basically deserves this title, few people know that the investment in this movie was around US$2500 million, and the initial box office was only about US$3000 million.

Well, Su Zhe just thought about it casually. Su Zhe planned to cooperate with Columbia and the Jing family, how could he make a movie that would lose money.

If this happens, it will have great disadvantages for him to create a perfect image.

In Su Zhe's impression, the reason why "Shawshank Redemption" did not reach more than 3000 million at the box office is naturally related to "Forrest Gump" which was released in the same year.

Otherwise, how could "The Shawshank Redemption" be listed as one of the saddest movies in film history?

Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that his producer didn't know how to promote it. Due to lack of resources and failure to grasp the key points, it failed to receive better promotion when it was released.

Fortunately, it was nominated for multiple Oscars but failed to win any. It was spotted by Columbia, and after operation, it achieved unprecedented success in the video tape market.

The movie topped the list of video rental stores for a long time.

Now that it's in Su Zhe's hands, he can naturally copy the movie almost perfectly, and he has a Columbia company with great publicity around him.

If he still ends up with the same result as in his memories, then he'd better stop doing this business.

This movie is still divided between myself, the Jing family, and Columbia Company.

But this time, I will also invest alone and occupy a considerable share. Scarlett looked at Su Zhe with joy, knowing that there were very few movies in Hollywood that could be nominated for Oscars.

Su Zhe, who is backed by Columbia, has a 100% chance that his film will be nominated this time.

As long as you run for Oscars enough times and become familiar there, there is a high probability that you will be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress.

At this period, Scarlett Johansson still very much hopes to be nominated for an Oscar.

The next day, amidst Scarlett's screams, Su Zhe ended his morning exercise.

Su Zhe didn't pay much attention to Scarlett's wailing. After all, if Old Hollywood wasn't just for serious fun, what else could it be for.

"Fuck! You son of a bitch, don't you feel sorry for me?" Scarlett looked at Su Zhe with an angry face.

"Hh, take a good rest! I'm going to prepare for my new movie."

"Fuck you!!!"

Su Zhe waved his hand and left without looking back.

"hiss!"

Scarlett gently rubbed the medicine on it, thinking with a puzzled look on her face.

Obviously both of them are flesh and blood, why doesn't anything happen to Su Zhe?

With doubts, I gently applied the medicine.
-
In Daenerys' conference room.

"The rest is your Columbia company's sole responsibility. I only want Tim Robbins to play my leading actor Andy, Morgan Freeman to play the number one supporting actor Red, and Bob Gunton to play the second supporting actor Warden Norton." .”

"I wonder what your opinions are?"

These three guys were not as old as Su Zhe had imagined. Instead, they were only a few years older.

Just enough to pull him over for filming.

Su Zhe, who was sitting in the meeting, flipped through the documents in front of him and said with certainty.

The head of Columbia and Daenerys' company sitting in the conference room looked at each other, but neither spoke.

A few minutes later, the manager of the planning department nodded and said, "I understand, Mr. Su Zhe, we will try our best."

"I don't need you to try your best, do I need to understand?" Su Zhe directly interrupted the person in charge's blame-shifting.

"Yes, sir, we will definitely solve it." The person in charge immediately changed his promise.

"Just leave David here, and everyone else can leave." Su Zhe made a walking gesture, signaling for them all to slip out.

After all the people in charge walked out of the conference room, Su Zhe looked at David Smith on his left.

"What's wrong David? Do you have something to say to me?"

"Yes, there are some investment issues about Daenerys' company."

Su Zhe invited David Smith, who had resigned, to be the general manager of his company, so he would naturally understand the company's recent investment situation.

"You are David, the general manager of my company, so if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

Su Zhe nodded and looked at him.

"understood."

David Smith nodded and said: "I think the company has launched too many projects at the same time recently, and the investment is likely to be wasted all at once. Moreover, most of our capital flow is invested in purchasing various copyrights. The company's current The debt situation is very high.”

"Although I know that you have other businesses here, and other companies can also support you with funds, maintaining a high debt situation for a company is very risky for the company's development."

"So do you have any suggestions?" Su Zhe looked at David.

Part of his funds cannot be withdrawn for the time being, and Su Zhe is not willing to let go of those key copyrights.

"You, the boss, must make this decision yourself."

"Now I can only hope that the boss's two movies, "Death is Here" and "The Shawshank Redemption," will be successful."

David Smith couldn't help but sigh.

If he hadn't been ostracized and lost his rights at the headquarters, he would never have taken a part-time job as a general manager in Su Zhe's grassroots team.

Su Zhe looked at him with a smile, hearing the worry and complaint in the other person's tone.

"Well, don't worry, the box office of "Death Comes" is enough for us to earn a lot of money, and the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" will follow closely. You will be able to tell me everything."

"BOSS! Everything you said is only based on completely smooth conditions. What if there is a delay in filming?" David Smith looked at him seriously.

"You can't always be lucky. In this game of life, don't always think about winning. There is no need to throw all your chips down."

"I understand! David, you are willing to come to my small company just because you believe in me. I will solve all problems, and I am not without backup. There is no need to worry about funding. Continue to search for those things I The copyright you like.”

"Okay!" David stared at Su Zhe.

He believed that the young man in front of him would never act without aim. After all, with the support of Jing family and Columbia, he could solve these small financial problems.

"I hope your movie goes smoothly."
