I slept during the day and woke up slowly the next morning.
Zhou Yang looked at the time and was surprised.
He originally planned to sleep for half a day, but who would have thought that he could sleep so well...
After he got dressed and had something to eat, he hurried towards the crew.
After coming to the crew, he discovered that many things were different.
The auditions for actors in "Lamb" are still in full swing. The only difference is that the audition location for the movie "Saw" is no longer in that remote corner.
It's right next to "The Lamb", and this time Roddy is personally in charge. The original ordinary promotional poster has also been remade by Rody, and it looks like it is on par with "The Lamb", and it's full of branding.
At the same time, Roddy arranged for all actors who had completed the audition for "Lambs" to be invited to the next round of auditions for "Saw", regardless of whether they were selected or not.
Even judging from the situation on the scene, Roddy paid more attention to "Saw" than the main movie "Lamb".
"Mr. Roddy..."
"Haha, you're here, come and see which of these actors is suitable..."
"Um? How many actors came to audition?"
"More than a few hundred."
"How many?"
"More than two hundred."
"..."
Zhou Yang was shocked when he saw the thick resumes of actors next to him. After taking these resumes, Zhou Yang was buzzing.
"Mr. Zhou Yang and Mr. Anthony will come over later. Then we will go to the office to discuss the shooting of the script of "Saw"... Okay, you first take a look at these actors to see if there are any suitable ones. If not,
We'll pick the one that's suitable..."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Roddy."
"No, after all, I am also the assistant director of this movie, so I have to help you with the filming, haha." Roddy smiled happily.
After seeing Zhou Yang coming over, he patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder, then returned to the audition seat for "Lamb" and made way for Zhou Yang.
When Zhou Yang just sat down, Rody looked at Zhou Yang and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Mr. Zhou Yang..."
"What?"
"There may be a surprise later..."
"What surprise?"
"Maybe there's a surprise, maybe there's not. Anyway, we'll find out later."
"???"
……………………
Zhao Sicheng also came to Hollywood.
There are less than two months until the movie "Fatal Crisis" is released, so Zhao Sicheng has to come to Laos and the United States in advance to make various preparations.
Zhao Sicheng is indeed old enough in the Chinese director circle. He is a fifth-generation director, and he has produced several successful works in the past years. However, after coming to Hollywood, everything started from scratch...
There is no one to pick up the plane, no one pays attention to it, and the hotel and hostel as well as the subsequent publicity and planning have to be handled by themselves. Although Fox promised to provide some recommended resources, these resources are all C-level and below resources, which are almost the same as some low-cost ones.
is a horror film of the same genre. Although it is scheduled to be released on January 1st, the viewing time is not very good. It is basically equivalent to the treatment of small-budget Chinese films in the same period when "Superman" crushed Chinese films.
Although he was not taken seriously, Zhao Sicheng did not feel any sense of loss, but felt quite honored.
Especially when he stepped into the Fox Company and saw the staff coming and going and the door with its unique brand name, he felt extremely excited. He felt an indescribable sense of pilgrimage, and ambition surged through his body.
, when I walked in with my director’s admission pass, I felt extremely honored.
This is the first time a Chinese director has made a film in Hollywood, and it was simultaneously released by a major distribution company like Fox.
The contact person between Fox and Zhao Sicheng is called Tom, who is the manager of Fox’s overseas film docking department.
"Mr. Zhao, this is our promotional resource for your "Fatal Crisis". If there is no problem, we will sign this contract..."
"No problem." Zhao Sicheng took a look and nodded quickly.
"Mr. Zhao, in the next month or so, you will be responsible for cooperating with the company's various publicity. You should be fine, right?"
"No problem." Zhao Sicheng nodded again.
"Okay, then Mr. Zhao, we are done with our business..."
"Mr. Tom, may I treat you to a meal?"
"No, there are still things to be busy with. Mr. Zhao, please help yourself."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Tom."
After Tom saw that this Chinese director was so easy to talk to, he stopped talking nonsense and asked him to sign the contract.
After signing, he stood up and walked towards the office with the contract in hand without saying anything to Zhao Sicheng.
Zhao Sicheng looked a little lonely.
Suddenly I felt an indescribable feeling of embarrassment.
After looking around again, he finally left Fox and returned to his residence.
Not long after returning to his residence, Zhao Sicheng heard some not-so-good news.
His assistant called and said that none of the big directors in Hollywood answered his phone, and they were completely uninterested in his overtures.
Zhao Sicheng suddenly began to feel lost.
"No director accepted the invitation? What about the actors?"
"It's the same thing. Several actors who filmed "Fatal Crisis" also said that they were busy..."
"What are you busy with?"
"They are auditioning for "Lambs"..."
"Um?"
"Director Zhao, what should we do next? Do we still want to visit those directors?"
"Let's go and have a look at the crew of "Lamb". The director of "Lamb", Christian and the assistant director Roddy, are also on the list of people we contacted this time, right?"
"Yes, but they didn't answer the phone."
"Since they didn't answer the phone, let's visit them in person."
"Would this make it appear that we..."
"When people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads. This is how you come to Hollywood to worship at the top of the mountain."
……………………
Around nine o'clock in the morning.
Anthony got in the car to go to the set of "Lambs".
He is an authentic British aristocrat. When traveling, he always wears a gentleman's hat and carries a cane. He has a kind smile and a natural nobility and elegance.
Next to him sat another equally elegant woman, her name was Charlotte Celie.
In the 1960s, the two participated in a movie called "The Little Seamstress".
The movie "The Little Seamstress" tells the story of civilians struggling to survive in the ruins of Germany after World War II.
Charlotte Celie plays a slum girl in the movie, while Anthony plays a elegant military officer in the movie.
The two met in the ruins and then got to know each other. In the end, due to the unequal status and class, they failed to achieve success, leaving only a story of regret.
The ending of "The Little Seamstress" left many fans distraught.
In reality, the story of Charlotte Celie and Anthony is as full of sadness and emotion as the movie "The Little Seamstress".
The two fell in love, and then broke up due to various reasons and started their own families. During this period, they maintained a relationship as friends. Although they had stopped seeing each other for many years, their interest in movies has never diminished, and they often
They would watch movies together, talk about the current situation of movies, and talk about art. It was not until these years that the two suddenly realized that their feelings for each other had always been sincere and had never changed, and they slowly began to get in touch with each other in private.
certainly……
Sunset red love is very simple.
It is impossible for two people to get married because they have their own families. At best, they can only be each other's soul mates.
Anthony has watched "Bottom" recommended by Charlotte Celie. Charlotte Celie highly praised the movie "Bottom". During this year's Berlin International Film Festival, Charlotte Celie was the chairman.
I keep recommending this movie to everyone and feel that this movie is a tribute to the richness of life.
After Anthony read it, he could only sigh silently...
He lamented the fragility of life. In addition to emotion, there was also an indescribable complexity.
Charlotte Celie also recommended "The Crow" to Anthony. After reading "The Crow", Anthony felt very depressed and full of cynicism about the world...
At the same time, he also lamented that it was a pity that "The Crow", an excellent realistic film, did not win the Grand Prize at Cannes.
"The screenwriter and director of "Saw" is Zhou Yang, that poor kid who lost the role to you?" Charlotte Celie looked at Anthony in the car with a strange expression.
"Yeah, I didn't expect..." Anthony sometimes feels that the things arranged by God are so wonderful.
Charlotte Celie admires these two films, and also highly recommends Chinese director and actor Zhou Yang. She feels that Zhou Yang should be the most thoughtful among the young directors in China...
Naturally, Anthony also learned about Zhou Yang from Charlotte Celie. After auditioning for "Lamb", he learned about such a thing from other people.
The role of the cannibal doctor in the movie "Lamb" was originally slated to go to Zhou Yang, and the contract was even signed. Unexpectedly, he showed up midway through, and the talented Chinese man was rejected again.
The Chinese man did not ask the crew of "Lamb" to pay liquidated damages. Instead, he hoped to use the crew of "Lamb" to help him make another movie called "Saw" independently. Just yesterday morning, the assistant director of "Lamb"
Roddy actually called himself personally, hoping that he could come over and read the script of the movie "Saw"...
As a result, Anthony suddenly became interested in "Saw".
Although Roddy is the assistant director of "Lambs", he is a very talented screenwriter and a producer with a very sensitive sense of smell.
The movie that interested Roddy was probably no ordinary movie.
So, Anthony came...
Charlotte Celi heard that Zhou Yang, a Chinese director, was going to direct a new movie and was highly praised by Roddy, so she also came.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Anthony helped Charlotte Sally get out of the car.
Countless reporters immediately surrounded him.
The two of them were smiling, and the attendants next to them helped them stop the reporters.
"Hello, Ms. Charlotte Celie, I didn't expect to meet you here..."
"Hello." Charlotte Saily turned around subconsciously, and then saw a familiar Chinese director looking at her in shock.
She returned a polite smile.
In her impression, the director's name seemed to be Zhao Sicheng. They had met several times in Cannes and had some impressions, but they were not very familiar with him.
"Ms. Charlotte Celie, Mr. Anthony, are you two also auditioning for "Lambs"?"
"Come and meet a director friend from China."
"God, which Chinese director can have such an honor... Could it be that Wang Shuai and Director Wang are here?" Zhao Sicheng stared at Charlotte Saili's back.
Charlotte Celie, on the other hand, smiled but walked into the set without responding to his words.
Zhao Sicheng followed him subconsciously.
As a result, he was suddenly stopped at the entrance of the set.
After he repeatedly explained for a long time, said he had an appointment with Roddy and made a phone call on the spot, he was let go...
