Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

v1 Chapter 107: methodical

In addition to the main creators of "ET", the people who came to Mei G with Xu Cun this time, there are also three special personnel - Zhong Chuhong, Mei Aifang, and Lin Zhiling.

When he came to Hollywood to shoot "ET", Xu Cun brought almost all of his net worth, and he had to spend it all. Therefore, Zhong Chuhong, the financial assistant, naturally had to come over to help Xu Cun manage the accounts.

To be honest, Zhong Chuhong didn't want to come with Xu Cun at all—she always had an instinctive guard against the lustful Xu Cun. Moreover, she was afraid of taking Xu Cun's words in a place where Mei G was unfamiliar.

But Zhong Chuhong's family encouraged Zhong Chuhong to come to the United States to gain knowledge. In addition, Zhong Chuhong was also a little curious about the Hollywood that filmmakers yearned for. In addition, before coming, Xu Cun assured her that he would not offend her. Zhong Chuhong and Xu Cun came to the United States. .

There are three reasons why Xu Cun brought Mei Aifang:

First, Mei Aifang has nothing to do except studying finances by herself, so Xu Cun brought her to the United States to relax.

Second, Xu Cun is more and more inseparable from women, so Xu Cun can use Mei Aifang to pass the boring time.

Third, and most importantly, Xu Cun clearly remembered that the Mei sisters all died of cervical cancer. Therefore, Xu Cun wanted to take Mei Aifang to have a medical check-up in the United States, where medicine is most developed. It is best to give Mei Aifang a cervical cancer vaccine.

As for bringing Lin Zhiling, it was because Xu Cun wanted to be a public servant—on the one hand, he had to keep in touch with Lin Zhiling, his goddaughter. On the other hand, Xu Cun is going to assign Lin Zhiling a role in this movie destined to go down in history.

Of course, Lin Zhiling didn't come by herself. Her parents also came for a vacation at public expense.

……

This time, Xu Cun gambled almost his entire net worth in the filming of "ET". If he fails, Xu Cun may have to struggle for more than ten years. Therefore, after completing the formalities of DreamWorks (US G branch), Xu Cun began to film "ET".

Xu Cun first brought Stan Winston and Carlo Rambodi, who designed the aliens in "Encounter of the Third Kind", as well as Zhang Shuping and Xi Zhongwen. He discussed with the four of them how to design ET and ET's clothing.

The prototype of ET was made by stylist Ed Warrocks at a cost of $700,000, but Spielberg thought it was not satisfactory, so he hired Carlo Lan, who designed the aliens for "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". Designed by Bowdy. Xu Cun would never take this detour no matter what! Therefore, Xu Cun directly invited Carlo Lambodi, who was mainly in charge of ET, and Stan Winston to assist in the design.

In order to save time and cost, Xu Cun also told Carlo Rambodi and Stan Winston what he knew about ET, and drew the prototype of ET he saw in the movie to Carlo Rambodi and Stan Winston. Winston. In addition, Xu Cun also gave some design ideas to Carlo Lambodi and Stan Winston. E.g:

The creature's unique retractable neck. Its faces can be borrowed from poets Carl Sandberg, Albert Einstein, Hemingway, and pugs. The effect of its eyeballs in attracting the audience is very important, and you can go to the ophthalmology society for help. ET's expressions should be rich, and Xu Cun's suggestion is to make more ET heads. ET is forty-eight inches tall and fifty-six inches when he cranes his neck. and many more……

In addition, Xu Cun gave all ET's clothes to Zhang Shuping and Xi Zhongwen. Xu Cun gave them the idea to ask them to find two dwarfs and a legless teenager to wear them in turn to perform, and then find some audiences of different age groups to vote to decide. .

To save time, Xu Cun also asked ILM, Stan Winston Studio, and others in the digital field to design other things, including spaceships. At the same time, Xu Cun asked Jeffrey, Carlo Lambodi, and Stan Winston to find several reliable assistants for Cui Baozhu—Xu Cun asked Cui Baozhu to start purchasing the items needed for the shooting of ET now.

In terms of venues, Xu Cun asked Jeff to help contact Universal Studios, and at the same time he asked Jeffrey to find a few assistants to follow Tang Shuxuan to Culver City, Northridge, Tujunga, New Orleans and other places to find special venues such as jungles.

In terms of actors, in addition to Lin Zhiling, Xu asked Jeffrey to help him advertise in Hollywood - he wanted to audition for the main actors in "ET" among five to fifteen year olds.

This is not just to find suitable actors in "ET", Xu Cun also has another purpose - to advertise "ET", and once increased the popularity of "ET".

In terms of adult actors, such as the children's mother, the key officer, etc., Xu Cun asked Jeffrey to find the original actors Dee Wallace, Peter Coyote and others to play. Unable to find the original actor, Xu Cun asked Jeffrey to recommend him, and he interviewed in person.

In addition, Xu Cun asked Jeffrey to try to get some sponsors. For example, food, toys, cars, etc. To be honest, Xu Cun doesn't have much hope for this - he is not well-known in Hollywood, and even if the production cost of "ET" is 12 million US dollars, there may not be companies willing to sponsor him.

Of course, Xu Cun is not without his back - if Jeffrey doesn't come to sponsor~lightnovelpub.net~ Xu Cun will sponsor from Asia. Xu Cun believes that with his current fame in Asia and the gimmick that he spent 12 million dollars in Hollywood to make "ET", he will definitely be able to attract a lot of sponsors in Asia.

Also, it is impossible for an actor to speak difficult medical terms naturally and fluently, so Xu Cun decided to find some real doctors to perform the scene of treating ET. Therefore, Jeffrey had to help Xu Cun contact the real medical staff.

In order to increase the mystery of "ET" and to increase the audience's expectations for "ET", Xu Cun explained to everyone that everything about "ET" is the secret of the "ET" crew, and no one is allowed to disclose it - for this reason , Xu Cun also signed confidentiality contracts with all insiders. If someone dares to disclose the content of "ET", he will pay a high liquidated damages.

For Xu Cun's methodical arrangement of everyone's work, Jeffrey saw it all in his eyes - all of this made Jeffrey feel that Xu Cun might bring him a surprise.

Therefore, even though Xu Cun gave Jeffrey a lot of work that did not belong to Jeffrey, Jeffrey still did it with all his heart—he wanted to see if his feelings were right or wrong?

After handing over all the work and sitting down for a while, Xu Cun got about a week or so of free time.

Taking advantage of this rare free time, Xu Cun was going to do two personal affairs—one, taking Mei Aifang to check his body. Another, go to Santa Clara University to meet He Chaoqiong.

Called Jeffrey, Tang Shuxuan, Lin Zhengying and others, held a meeting and explained to them, Xu Cun took Mei Aifang to Santa Clara University~lightnovelpub.net~ Welcome to reading , the latest, fastest and most popular serial works are all in ~lightnovelpub.net~ mobile phone users please read.
