The next morning, Xiao Yang left the Four Seasons Hotel with the contact information of the directors and producers that Jenny had given him.
He decided to get the script out first before looking for the person. Otherwise, it would not be convincing to go empty-handed.
……
" Female lead…Female lead, hmm…" Xiao Yang sat in his office, biting his pen and frowning.
"Damn it, I didn't really watch the female lead in the past. I can't remember much now.”Xiao Yang rubbed his hair in pain.
" Resident Evil... Hmm, Legend of the Night..." Xiao Yang was drooling as he thought about it." By the way, Mila and Beckinsale are both my goddesses, haha.”
"I really want to put these two goddesses together with my Charaz to make a movie. Put them together…Wait, maybe we can really make a movie?”Xiao Yang smiled.
"Charlie's Angels, it seems to be a movie with three female leads!”Xiao Yang narrowed his eyes and rubbed his chin as he pondered." I remember that Charlie's Angels filmed two movies. That means that the first movie probably made money. Otherwise, they wouldn't have started filming the second movie.”
Xiao Yang was happily fantasizing in his mind.'Damn it, this is it. I'll try to get Mira and Beckinsale to come over. Logically speaking, they should not be that famous yet, so it's a little hard to find them, but I should be able to find them if I put in the effort.'
Xiao Yang's little heart began to thump again when he thought of the opportunity to get close to the other two goddesses.
"What's the content of Charlie's Angels again…"
Xiao Yang began to bite the tip of his pen again, recalling the plot of the movie, Charlie's Angels.
Charlie's Angels, also known as Charlie's Angels, told the story of three beautiful and intelligent hot girls working for Mr. Charlie. In the first movie, they were ordered to save the kidnapped CEO of Knox Technologies. Then the whole movie started with this clue. It was a typical Hollywood popcorn movie.
There wasn't any special plot. It was just like a spy movie, but the main selling point was that there were three female leads. To be honest, if the three main leads were replaced by male leads, this movie would probably suffer a huge loss.
However, with the hard work of the three hot girls, the movie managed to rank first in the North American box office rankings for two consecutive weeks after its release. It even achieved a box office score of 75 million US dollars within 10 days.
In the end, with an investment of 60 million yuan, it created a box office revenue of 160 million yuan in North America.
And there was one important point. Charlie's Angels was originally filmed in 2000. At that time, the three main actors, except Liu Yuling, who was Chinese and might not have been paid well, were long-established actresses.
Cameron Diaz had co-starred with Jim Carrey as the female lead in the disguising geek in 1993, and drew Barrymore had grown up as a child star. At the age of six, she had played the role of a little girl in the Alien et, and Spielberg was her godfather.
The salaries of these two actors probably accounted for a lot of the production costs. This was also one of the reasons why Xiao Yang did not hire the original lead actors. It was too expensive. The film did not require any acting skills. As long as they were good-looking and had a hot figure, they would basically be qualified.
It was obvious that Mira and Beckinsale were more in line with Xiao Yang's requirements. It did not take long for them to write the rough outline of the script. It was already a show of respect for Xiao Yang to call it a script, but it was actually just a brief introduction of the plot of Charlie's Angels, including the personalities of the three female leads and some memorable scenes. Xiao Yang decided to leave the rest of the characters 'lines to the future director to fill in the blanks.
Xiao Yang decided not to tell Charaz yet. He would give her a surprise when everything was ready.
" Let's see who Jenny gave me their business cards." Sitting in the spacious executive chair, Xiao Yang flipped through the business cards in his hand. The ones Jenny gave him were all Hollywood directors and producers.
Xiao Yang only looked at the people he chose based on luck. He first looked at whether he knew anyone among them. As long as he knew someone, it meant that the person was relatively famous in the future. Such a director was enough to film a small production.
" Hmm, I think I've heard this name somewhere before." Xiao Yang looked at the business card in his hand." Brian De Palma?”He frowned and stared at the business card in his hand.
"Where have I seen this name before?”"Right!" Xiao Yang slapped his forehead." A few days ago, when I was watching this year's latest Mission Impossible video with Charlizards at home, the director's name at the beginning was this guy.”
"F * ck, so it's this bro, the director of Mission Impossible!”Xiao Yang looked as if he had found a treasure. In his previous life, he had always thought that the first Mission Impossible movie was the best movie in the entire series. He did not know why he had gone crazy and changed the director." If this guy is willing to shoot Charlie's Angels, it will definitely be better than the one in his previous life. After all, Charlie's Angels is considered a spy movie, haha."”
Xiao Yang did not look at the other business cards. He had wanted to call Jenny and ask her out, but after some thought, he decided to call Jenny first.
"Hi, Jenny, are you up yet?" Xiao Yang asked with a mischievous smile. When he left the hotel in the morning, Jenny was still lying on the bed. Young people had good physical strength, so she had come for a morning exercise early in the morning.
"Little rascal! You made me late for work!" Jenny spat on the other end of the phone.
" It's okay. I'm the boss. I won't deduct your salary, haha!" Xiao Yang laughed proudly.
"Bah, what's the matter?"
"By the way, I want you to help me make an appointment with Director Parma. He's the one who filmed Mission Impossible. It just came out a few months ago ~"
"Eh? I remember that his contact information is in the business card I gave you? "You can just call him directly and ask him out," Jenny asked with some doubt.
"I think it's better if you ask him out and introduce us to each other. After all, it's more convenient if you have an acquaintance to introduce you.”
"I see, okay. When?”
"Tonight, the same place. I'll book a place. You come with him tonight.”Xiao Yang smiled evilly." I'll talk to you about personal matters after we're done with serious business."
" Pah!" Jenny spat and hung up the phone.
……
……
At night, in the Four Seasons Hotel's restaurant, Xiao Yang looked at Parma, who was reading the scripts, and asked with a smile," What do you think, Director Parma? Are you interested in ending your vacation and starting work?"”
" Yes, I've roughly read the script. To be honest, it's just an average commercial film." Palma put down the few pieces of paper in his hand." I'm very curious why you want me to film it. You know, any director above the standard can make this kind of film."”He looked at Xiao Yang with a puzzled look.
"Would you believe me if I said it was because of our affinity?”Xiao Yang shrugged." I saw you from the business card that Jenny gave me, and then I remembered watching your film Mission Impossible a few days ago. I believe this is also a kind of fate.”
"Yeah, Brian. I gave the name cards of several directors to Xiao today. He told me that he had seen your movies and thought they were good. He insisted that I ask you out. He sincerely wants to work with you.”Jenny also spoke up for him.
" Hmm…" Palma took a sip of red wine and put down his glass. He looked at Xiao Yang and asked," Last two questions. First, how much do you plan to invest? You have to know that if you don't have enough money, you might not be able to produce the effect I want. Second, who is the producer? I don't want to work with a producer who's not easy to deal with.”After saying that, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He leaned back in his chair and looked at Xiao Yang.
"First, invest 50 million USD!”This was something that Xiao Yang had already thought about. After all, he had only invested 60 million in his previous life. That was in the year 2000, and it was about the same even if he factored in the price of the currency. It should be known that Cameron's and Druid's salaries had accounted for half of the investment. The current 50 million was enough.
"Secondly, as for the producer, I wonder if Sister Jenny is interested in helping?”Xiao Yang turned his gaze to Jenny Bath. He had already thought of this. Jenny's talent in business was more than enough to be a producer. If Xiao Yang could build a business empire in the future, Jenny Bath might even be able to be the leader.
"Me? Producer?" Jenny was dumbfounded. Why was she involved? "But I still have things to do with the Laker…"
"We can leave the matter with the Laker team to someone else for the time being. This movie will be almost finished in just over a month.”Xiao Yang interrupted Jenny before she could finish." Don't you agree, Director?”He looked at Parma.
"Haha, of course. It's just a film that doesn't have much technical content. There's basically no post-production special effects.”Looking at Xiao Yang and Jenny, Parma smiled and said," If it's a budget of 50 million and the producer is still Ms. Bass, I have no problem with it. I'm willing to direct this Charlie's Angels. Who asked me to be a Laker fan!"
"Then, what about you, lady?”Xiao Yang looked at Jenny with a smile and raised his eyebrows.
" Alright, you're the boss. If you don't have any objections, then I'll have no objections either." Jenny nodded helplessly and agreed to Xiao Yang's arrangement.
"Haha, then I wish Charlie's Angels a smooth filming and a big box office sales!”Xiao Yang stood up and raised his goblet to look at the two of them.
"Everything went smoothly!"
"Box sold well!"
The two of them also stood up and clinked their glasses with Xiao Yang's.
