   Chapter 345 Gary Oldman

   When the Weinstein brothers were like ants on a hot pot, Takeshi Iwata was very relaxed.

   In detail, it is not very easy, because he has to face one person.

   To be exact, he had to convince the guy.

   Gary Oldman.

  …

   In fact, in this place in Hollywood, the real professionals, that is, the guys from the professional school, don't necessarily mix well.

   This refers to the filming aspect. If you just want to be a behind-the-scenes person, then having a professional background is an advantage.

  Unfortunately, Gary Oldman studied acting in a very orthodox way and spent a very good student life at Rose Bluff College.

  This is a very professional art academy, and its evaluation is still very high.

   But, that's England.

  In Hollywood, it's a little bit different.

  This place talks too much about nepotism. If there is no nepotism, then you have to rely on that kind of thing.

   Gary Oldman is a man, and if he wants to go that way, he has to give his chrysanthemums.

  Fortunately, he didn't do that.

   Of course, there are other types of people who are…

  Like Keanu Reeves, this guy is so handsome, needless to say?

   Talent, so **** talented!

   And now, this handsome guy is actually right in front of him, and, okay... well, in fact, everyone is a friend.

   "Gary, this time I'm going to introduce you to someone and a very, very good job."

"Oh?"

   "Really, really, really good, you'll love it."

"But…"

"Any questions?"

   "I wonder, if it's so good, why did you introduce it to me?"

   "Haha...that's a good question."

  To be honest, Gary Oldman was a little jealous of this handsome guy in front of him.

   In terms of his own appearance, he can't say that he is bad. Compared with ordinary people, Gary Oldman is definitely a handsome guy.

   But, isn't this compared to ordinary people, in Hollywood, there are too many handsome guys in this place.

  This, and that River Phoenix, and Johnny Depp, and…

   Oh, I can't count!

   In the "Four Hundred Years of Fright" that the two collaborated on before, Gary Oldman played the role of Count Dracula, the ancestor of the vampire.

   The final look is really scary, he would have nightmares when he saw it himself.

so…

  Why don't you let the handsome guy in front of you act?

   Obviously, such a role is also played by him Gary Oldman.

  Thinking about this, he seems to have found something, he is more handsome than before and can act.

   This guy is actually a bit neurotic... Keanu Reeves thought so.

   Yes, the two have worked together before, and yes, the two do call each other friends.

   However, the two of them also have their own ghosts.

   This guy Gary Oldman seems to be that Dracula, he has many unpredictable qualities.

   Really, that's what Reeves really thinks.

   And this time... there's no way, who else could come if it wasn't for him?

  Iwata Takeshi asks himself so sincerely, as his friend Keanu Reeves really can't deduce it.

   But the **** in front of him is probably thinking that he is more handsome than him.

  Bingo!

   The two are really 'friends'.

  No matter what, you have to tell the truth, right?

   "You mean? Takeshi Iwata? That Japanese director?"

   "I knew you'd heard his name."

   "Of course, he's a big hit in Hollywood now."

   "So, how's it going?"

   "How about what?"

   "You don't understand yet, do you?"

   "The person you want to introduce, and the job is..."

"Yes."

   "Then... wait a minute, you seem to have been missing the point."

   "Hehe... the point."

   "Don't laugh with your **** handsome face, I'm a man, I won't eat your shit!"

   "Hahaha... Okay, let me say the main point, that is... Iwata wants to make a TV series, and he wants to come to you to star in this TV series."

"TV drama?!"

  Damn, why is it a TV show?

  …

   "Iwata, I'm afraid, like, that..."

   "Oh, did you fail?"

   "Can't say that either."

   "Oh, you mean, you failed, but not completely?"

   "???...Wait a minute, why do I feel something is wrong with your statement, but I can't find any words to refute it?"

   "Because what I say is logically sound."

   "Brilliant."

   "Okay, you invite him out, I'll talk to him personally."

   "Hey bro, I knew it."

   It can be heard that Keanu Reeves did not really get Gary Oldman.

   And this is actually what Takeshi Iwata expected.

   After all, from the rumors and watching Gary Oldman's performance, this guy is definitely not easy to deal with.

   He must be the kind of guy with all kinds of quirks... In fact, he is.

   But, because of that, wouldn't it be more fun?

  Iwata Takeshi personally went out.

  …

   To Gary Oldman's surprise, he didn't choose a Japanese restaurant for his meeting with Takeshi Iwata.

  For now, although the United States has made Japan unbearable in the economic war, Japan's economic influence in the United States is not small.

   Needless to say about the car.

   Serious people who buy American cars?

   This is not even a joke, Americans are buying American cars in a continuous decline, like some brands, such as Cadillac, only those with red necks or old white men will buy them in the United States.

  For example, Trump.

   And in terms of eating, Japanese food is also on the rise, and the more popular thing is called Teppanyaki.

   On a large iron plate, the chef then uses a knife, fork or a shovel to perform various tricks, waiting for the food to jump into his mouth.

   Well, this enjoyment is still good.

  Gary Oldman originally thought he could enjoy it for a while, but he didn't think so. Director Takeshi Iwata found a Chinese restaurant.

   is not to say that Chinese food is not delicious, but it is a little different from my inner expectations.

   And this was naturally seen by Takeshi Iwata.

   "Gary, is it okay for me to call you that?"

   "Of course, but Iwata-san, I'm a little surprised, why don't we go to eat Japanese food?"

   Really don't say anything, this guy said what he was thinking.

   Takeshi Iwata thinks it's interesting, he's a straightforward person, and he can handle it.

   "It's very simple, because in the United States, most of the Japanese food is actually made by the Chinese, so why don't we just come and eat Chinese food?"

   Gary Oldman laughed as soon as these words came out.

   But, Takeshi Iwata is really not joking, he is telling the truth, not to mention the United States, in fact, globally, most of the Japanese materials outside Japan are opened by Chinese.

  Why is this happening?

  How simple, this thing is not difficult, and it can be expensive, we Chinese people can not only eat, not only cook, but also do business.

  Iwata Takeshi now...

   "Gary, you can just call me Iwata, then, let's get to the topic next, okay?"

   "Oh, Iwata, don't you think it's a little faster?"

   It should be said that the two of them were introduced by Keanu Reeves, and now they have dinner together again. They have already passed the stage of greeting, and there is no problem in going directly to the theme.

   But obviously, this guy Gary wants to say something more.

   What did he want to say?

  Iwata Takeshi's smile never faded, he was very simple.

   "It's a TV show, right?"

   Gary couldn't help but nodded... Well, he must admit that the experience of seeing Takeshi Iwata is much worse than seeing Keanu Reeves.

   The guy in front of him is the gold medal killer in the movie, right?

   However, they are already big directors.

   Takeshi Iwata didn't think too much about it at all. He now guessed accurately, or not at all, guessed what the other party was thinking, and the reason why he appeared was naturally already prepared.

   "What if the TV series were filmed at a movie level?"

   As soon as these words came out, Gary Oldman was stunned.

This…

   That's right, this is actually Takeshi Iwata's trump card!

  He's going to solve the problem in this way, we're really doing a TV show, but we're also doing a movie.

   First of all, in this 1993, no one would think like that at all.

   Can TV series still be like movies?

   Really no, no one has ever done this before.

  Iwata Takeshi was very clear in his heart that the person who really did this is called Spielberg.

   "Band of Brothers".

   In later generations, many people have commented on "Band of Brothers", thinking it is too amazing, too awesome, there is such a powerful TV series, American Hollywood yyds.

   I have to admit that this is indeed a very well-made TV series. Moreover, the actors who acted in this TV series became popular later, and even small roles became popular later.

   can be called "Soldier Assault" in Hollywood, USA.

   Oh... It seems that the relationship is a bit reversed, but don't pay attention to this detail.

but!

   How much is the single volume of "Band of Brothers"?

  100 million dollars, and it has not stopped.

  What else can be said about this investment?

  Each episode is a movie.

In fact, this "Band of Brothers" is Spielberg making a lot of money in the movie "Saving Private Ryan"... Most people don't know much about it. In this movie, Spielberg's income is about $1 billion, don't Just look at the box office.

   So, with the big profits in the front, we can just shoot such a TV series later.

  The budget is of course unlimited.

   And the success of this TV series brought this trend.

  The production investment of TV series is getting bigger and bigger, and the single episode is not even inferior to the movie at all.

   Now in 1993, no one thought there would be such a big deal.

  Who would use the technique of making movies or investing in TV dramas?

   As a result, Gary Oldman was directly shocked.

   So, next…

   "The first shot, right in my head, I'd love to talk to you about it."

"Speaking."

   "It's easy, I'm going to shoot a pair of pants."

"Pants?"

   "Yes, it's your pants."

   "My pants?"

   Gary Oldman's whole person has changed now. He no longer has the same neuroticism as before. He just thinks that the Japanese director in front of him is too **** awesome.

   What footage did Director Iwata talk about?

  The first shot, this is the first one.

   A pair of khaki trousers that are very common in the United States. These trousers are very common, and most of the people wearing such trousers are middle class.

   But, the pants flew.

  Yes, it just flew, flew up, high, and then slowly fell, just in front of the owner of the pants.

  The pants are flying, so what does the owner look like?

  Shaved head, blood, wounds... The owner of these pants is now wearing a pair of underwear.

   is very ugly.

   And he had a gun in his hand.

  When Takeshi Iwata told Gary Oldman in detail about the first shot, this neurotic guy immediately…

   "I think I should be the afterlife, so I should be a little fortunate, but the danger is obviously not over yet."

  In an instant, he gave an expression that released a weird message from his eyes.

  Iwata Takeshi immediately felt that he had found the right person.

   "You are the old white."

   Well, Gary Oldman wanted to escape because the famous supervisor Iwata Takeshi saw it.

"awesome!"

  In this way, "Breaking Bad" has a male protagonist.

   As for the rest…

   Takeshi Iwata said, "If you can, Uma Thurman can also play the role, no problem."

   Gary Oldman rolled his eyes as soon as he said this, "That **** is a **** fairy, what do you think a fairy can do?"

This…

  Hmmm, Gary Oldman and Uma Thurman have been married for over a year

  …

  PS: It’s better, thank you all for your support!
