Age of Dreams

United States, Michigan.

Many people think that Hollywood is located on the outskirts of Los Angeles, so all the movies will be shot there.

In fact, this idea is wrong.

Many American film companies, including the seven major film giants, just put their registration in Hollywood. Their headquarters and operations have already moved out here.

There are many reasons, but the high cost is definitely an important reason.

Take today's "The King's Speech" as an example. Its main filming location is Michigan in the north of the United States, which is a state around the famous Great Lakes bordering Canada.

In fact, the plot of "The King's Speech" is not very complicated, but in order to find some suitable locations for medieval scenes, the crew also searched for a long time before discovering such a quaint town in Michigan, which looks similar to that of the United Kingdom. The city in the eighth century was similar.

In many parts of the United States, especially the North, because there is no population pressure, there is no urbanization process, no large-scale development, and many of them have remained the same as they were 100 years ago, even two or three hundred years ago.

As a literary film, the budget was originally small. Tom Hopper, the director of "The King’s Speech", just hoped that he could get an investment of 20 million U.S. dollars, coupled with the use of literary titles to attract actors. Then it should be almost done.

What he didn't expect was that he found his friend Helena, the wife of the great director Tim Burton. After playing the role of Queen Elizabeth, Helena took him to find a young female producer-Megan. ? Ellison.

Megan Ellison is not yet a friend of future literary films, but she has successively invested in many literary films in the past two years, plus she is the daughter of super rich Larry Ellison, Naturally, it is favored by many directors, hoping to get investment from her.

Helena's friendship is indeed vast, after a while of conversation. After reading the script, Megan immediately decided on his own Hope Film Company, which would invest 30 million US dollars to film "The King's Speech", and also praised Haikou. As long as the filming is good, funding is not a problem at all.

At first Hopper thought Megan was hairless. Speaking is not strong.

How can 30 million US dollars be taken out casually? Even if your father is the president of Oracle, he wouldn't be so generous, right? Unless your father is Xiao Qi! But Xiao Qi doesn't have a daughter as old as you!

But Hopper didn't know that it was Xiao Qi that Megan relied on.

With an investment of 30 million U.S. dollars, she didn't even pay a penny, so Xiao Qi directly invested in it. The price paid was only that Huaguo's kiwifruit film and television were also listed on the producer's column.

At that time, the news of Xiao Qi’s acquisition of the cinema chain had not yet come out, and Megan did not know that the cinema chain would be given to Kiwi Film Group by Xiao Qi. After Kiwi Film Group announced that it wholly owned the cinema chain, Megan really did. I admire myself too much. Actually made another deal with two birds with one stone!

Your kiwifruit film and television are all the producers of "The King's Speech". When the movie was released, you were ashamed not to give more screens or focus on publicity?

Hopper would be even happier!

Not only is the budget 50% higher than before, but it also wins over such a giant. Not only can I hit the Oscars, but I can also make a breakthrough in the box office!

When this person is happy, he is easily impulsive.

The budget is too much. Hopper didn't use it so carefully, plus Megan who also wanted to make a big hit. He urged him to "be prepared", "be better"... and so on. As a result, when the actors were invited, the scene was set up, and the preliminary preparations were done, the money was left over 5 million. Up.

Megan blushed a little, and there was no need for Hopper to look at him with too much sadness. He directly called the wrongdoer—Mr. the richest man in the world, who cheated and defrauded 20 million U.S. dollars to come over, so Helena had to admire that this girl would indeed fool people.

Although the price to be paid is the need to put more pen and ink on the wife of the speech therapist Leonard, and she must also be a Chinese, starred by a small Chinese movie star. But neither the screenwriter nor the director Hopper has any opinions on this.

Plugging people into the crew is not only a practice in Hong Kong and the Mainland. American investors are also familiar with this task, and even this is their invention.

However, you still have to do things if you take the money.

The screenwriter immediately doubled the direct appearance of this dispensable role several times, and Hopper also decided to increase her appearance. It cannot be said to be comparable to the three main protagonists, but second only to them, there is no problem. Yes, at most, it would add a little bit of Leonard's family life.

In this case, Du Fei Xing arrived in the United States in April and joined the crew.

As a Chinese who has never lived in the UK, Du Feixing's English is not very good, let alone classical English. So after she came, she was working hard to learn British classical English in addition to being familiar with the script. This kind of strenuous spirit made the serious female teacher very emotional. The Chinese are still the same as before, and they are the best at learning.

Because of her hard work, the progress of the filming has not been delayed. After all, there is another point. Although the Mona played by Du Feixing has appeared on the stage, there will be no large lines of lines, and there will be no excitement. The performance of emotion, so in general, she performed very easily, at least her acting skills are qualified.

Americans don't like Chinese beauties very much. What they like is the kind that Chinese people generally consider to be ugly, with flat noses, small eyes, and flat faces...just like that super prosperous supermodel.

Therefore, Du Fei Xing is a charming beauty who is very popular in China, but the Americans look a little unbeautiful.

However, there are many Americans who like to be curious, and places like the crew are even more mixed. In the absence of any good entertainment activities, many people are eyeing Du Fei apricot.

But in the end, few people dared to act.

Many people know that Du Feixing was the one who the investor squeezed in. The entire crew was able to shoot with the investor's 50 million dollars. This annoyed the investor, and no matter how big the background is, you have to get out of it.

The second is that there are a few female bodyguards around Du Fei Xing at any time, almost all of them stay on the body for a moment. How can a woman who can have this kind of **** be a simple person to watch?

And the third reason is because Du Fei Xing herself likes to be quiet. On weekdays, during filming, she will see how the director and the actors communicate with each other during filming. After the filming work, she returns to her room to rest. He doesn't participate in any parties at all, and people have no way of hooking up.

Therefore, the closest person to Du Fei Xing is the producer of the film-Miss Megan.

As soon as Megan saw Du Feixing's battle, she knew that she was really Xiao Qi's woman, because whether it was Tang Mingxiang or Little Taylor, there were such female bodyguards by her side.

Although it is not a good thing to secretly scold a man, Megan fell in love with this quiet and quiet little woman as the days of contact were long.

Her own character is bold and bold, and she has the courage of a female man. A delicate woman like Du Fei Xing just fits her appetite and makes her willing to take care of Du Fei Xing. ——Although for the age of the two women, Du Fei Xing is seven years older than Megan! But no matter how you look at Megan, she looks more like her sister.

So, if everything is okay, Megan will go to Du Fei's room to eat and chat.

Although Du Fei Xing doesn't like the too complicated environment, she still likes a hearty woman like Megan, so the two women get along well.

The progress of "The King's Speech" is not too fast, and coupled with sufficient funds, Hopper is determined to make a more classic movie, so he often can't shoot a few shots a day.

But neither the actors nor the staff have any complaints.

The actors knew that "The King's Speech" was going to hit the Oscars, so they all wanted to perform better and get a nomination. It would be even better if they could win an award.

The staff are mainly making money. As long as your salary is enough, no matter how long the shooting is no problem, they still want to keep shooting.

Everyone is shooting a movie in a small town, and there are not many lively and bustling entertainment venues around. In fact, after a long time, it is still a bit boring.

But these actors and staff are very professional people, so generally the atmosphere is still very motivated.

That night, after work was over, Megan brought a bottle of red wine and came over with a smile.

The female bodyguards on Du Fei’s apricot are not used to eating the silly and crude food of Americans, so they drove to nearby towns every time they took a break~www.readwn.com~ to buy a lot of condiments and ingredients. Cook Chinese cuisine to eat.

For Megan, many of Huaguo’s dishes are appetizing, much better than those fried and roasted.

Of course Du Fei Xing likes such a little sister to come over for dinner, there are many people and it is lively.

Of course, the pure Du Fei Xing didn't know that Megan was so friendly to her, but he also had "sinister" intentions.

The funding for this film is sufficient, but if you want to hit the Oscars, the funding for this public relations is indispensable!

I hope that the film industry has no money, and the crew has no money. The natural publicity and public relations funds will fall on Xiao Qi, the bully!

Megan has asked Xiao Qi for funding twice, and then she is afraid that she will be slapped by Xiao Qi, so this matter is best left to Xiao Qi’s woman, who is also an important supporting role in this movie. Du Fei apricot!

As long as the relationship is settled, and then begging this kind-hearted stupid woman to let her blow the pillow breeze, this will probably be done! (To be continued...) u
