I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island
Chapter 513: 【Return to Hong Kong】
Chapter 513【Return to Hong Kong】
"What did you promise Susan Sarandon?" Wu Guangyao asked Sidney Simberg curiously.
Sidney Simberg smiled and said: "A supporting actress does not have a lot of roles, and she is also a strong contender for this role!"
Wu Guangyao nodded, Sidney Simberg’s move was just what he wanted!
"Well, this kind of thing should be avoided as much as possible. Women are not worth the price we pay for the quality of the film!"
Only the state officials were allowed to set fires, and the people were not allowed to light the lights. This was the mentality of Wu Guangyao!
Wu Guangyao will never allow Universal Pictures’ “Red Sofa” culture to overflow. Of course, if the protagonist is himself, it doesn’t matter!
The so-called "red sofa" means that in Hollywood from the 1940s to the 1990s, actors participated in auditions and wanted to get a role. If they opened the door and walked into the interview venue, they saw a piece of red in the middle. If the actor wants to have a chance to take down this role, he will consciously close the door, take off his clothes, lie on the sofa, and wait. With the arrival of the director or producer.
Sidney Simberg didn’t think too much, it’s useless to think too much;
What the big boss said, that's what!
"I will pay attention to this problem!"
Considering that he was going back to Hong Kong, Wu Guangyao decided to share his memories of "American Style Painting" and "Jaws" to Sidney Simberg;
And I try my best to reduce involvement with Hollywood, after all, I am a capitalist by nature!
About "American Style Painting", Wu Guangyao has no memory of a movie, because he has not seen it in his previous life;
But regarding "Jaws", Wu Guangyao is vivid and has seen it many times, so he has a right to speak;
The box office of "American Style Painting" was 60 million US dollars in the previous life, while the box office of "Jaws" was 130 million US dollars;
Hollywood's movie box office revenue only accounts for about 60%, and other foreign box office and copyright revenues have nearly 40%;
Calculated in this way, Universal Pictures has made a profit of 100 million US dollars in these two films in 1972 and 1973;
It’s no wonder that the previous Universal Pictures re-entered the top Hollywood studios in the 1970s. These two films are a good beginning;
Naturally followed by "Star Wars", which is another major work by the director of "American Style", Lucas!
Wu Guangyao directly asked Sidney Simberg to write down the explanation about the great white shark;
"First of all, since it is a thriller, it must have a horrifying effect; what is the most horrifying, the unknown is the most horrifying; therefore, if you let the director use the side camera to shoot the shark, the progress of the film is as long as It takes 70% of the time to kill the shark to reveal its true colors; there are fewer shark shots in the entire movie, and the most important thing is to enhance the atmosphere."
The more you listen to Wu Guangyao's talk, the more Sidney Simberg feels admiration, and it is perfect to describe this boss as unfathomable!
"The boss is not a Hollywood director. It's really a loss for Hollywood!" Sidney Simberg exclaimed sincerely.
Wu Guangyao waved his hand and said: "I also have a film company in Hong Kong, and I have some ideas. Compared with professional directors, they are naturally far behind; but some ideas are finally helpful to the film."
Suddenly, Wu Guangyao thought of something again, and immediately turned off the topic: “That’s right! I recently discovered another Hollywood Kui Bao, you go get me to the global camp.”
Sidney Simberg has become numb, the boss has been really out of sight recently, Hollywood knows more than himself!
"Boss, please speak!"
"This is a little actor, called Sylvester Stallone, who has acted in an **** film called "Midnight Cowboy"; I think his appearance and figure are quite suitable for some hard movies. Go and get it together. . It just so happens that I have an idea, you can write him into a script!"
Sidney Simberg was shocked again. Does this boss have a talent for scripting?
"What is the outline of the boss's script?"
Wu Guangyao gave a rough talk about Stallone’s "Rocky", and Sidney Simberg finally felt better after listening;
The boss’s script is not shocking, it can only be said to be creative;
Of course, maybe it will be a hit after filming, but this script obviously needs to be carefully crafted by professional people!
"The idea of the boss is very good, it can make a lot of ordinary people find resonance!"
"Then please ask someone to study the script, especially if Stallone can participate in the creation of the script!"
"Boss rest assured, I will take it seriously."
Good guy!
After Wu Guangyao’s tossing, Universal Pictures will have three movies with a box office explosion in the next three years;
and also attracted Lucas, Stallone, two Hollywood celebrities;
The strength of Universal Pictures can be said to be an extraordinary transcendence!
Los Angeles Airport
Wu Guangyao boarded the Boeing 737 business jet leased from Delta Air Lines. Even if he is worth billions, he can feel a kind of ‘dang’ breath.
The pilots and flight attendants of this business jet have all been replaced by Island Airlines, but they are still linked to Delta Air Lines;
While Wu Guangyao needs to pay Delta Air Lines' annual lease fee of US$2.6 million, it is quite expensive.
"Hello boss!" The six beautiful stewardess at the boarding gate bent over and greeted.
"En!" Wu Guangyao nodded and motioned.
what!
Zhao Yazhi is actually one of the six flight attendants. This Hong Kong Island Airlines executive is very good!
Walking into the cabin, Wu Guangyao just sat down, and someone came to greet him;
"Boss, I am your flight attendant Zhang Xiaoxia. I have been in the industry for more than five years. I am very happy to serve you!"
As soon as I sat down, a beautiful stewardess walked over and introduced herself!
Wu Guangyao nodded, and said with a smile: "I have been in the industry for five years, that's an old man!"
Zhang Xiaoxia didn’t know what she was thinking, and immediately said: “I entered the industry early, I’m only 21 years old this year, and I’m not married yet!”
Since the flight attendant opened this head, Wu Guangyao followed along and said, “Are the six of you married? I’m afraid it’s inconvenient for you?”
"No! Don't worry, boss, we are happy to be your personal stewardess!" Zhang Xiaoxia said with admiration in her eyes.
Wu Guangyao said nothing, ordered a cup of coffee and started to work.
The family business of the Wu family is really huge, I am afraid it is already close to those century-old families!
Of course, the most brilliant ones are Metro Group, Lenovo Group, Global Group, and Star Hotel Group. These four group companies are all the industry hegemons in the world today.
Although other companies have developed well, they have no global presence and can only be regarded as regional hegemons.
"Boss, I'll refill you a cup of coffee!" Zhang Xiaoxia's voice came again.
Wu Guangyao looked up. Although Zhang Xiaoxia’s face was exquisite and her figure was good, she was missing something;
Probably because I have seen more beauties, and I have less impulse towards such beautiful girls!
"Well! By the way, you are the flight attendant. You are responsible for the operation of the entire aircraft. Let Zhao Yazhi come to serve me!"
Zhang Xiaoxia was taken aback, thinking in her heart, sure enough, this flight attendant from Hong Kong sister is not easy!
"Okay, what do you need, call me anytime!" Zhang Xiaoxia said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaoxia thought in her heart that she didn’t dare to play tricks in front of this person. Keeping the flight attendant was the key;
As for the special favor of the boss, if you come to Japan for a long time, you will not believe it, and he will not be affectionate for a long time!
