"This last speech was very high-level. It's been a long time since I've seen a movie that depicts business society so accurately. In fact, I don't usually watch movies. Every time they portray rich people and entrepreneurs as bad guys,
I don’t know why…”
Copies of Ronald's cut of "Other People's Money" were made. He took a set home and showed it to a personal friend to see if there were any omissions.
Warren Buffy and the Family was screened exclusively for him. After watching it, Warren took out a handkerchief and wiped his glasses. The two speeches by Gregory Peck and Tom Hanks at the end made him deeply moved.
thousand.
"I don't know. It's probably because the gap between the lives of the people and the rich today is too big. There are many dissatisfactions in life. Setting some people who are unkind to the rich as villains can let their depression vent a little bit.
"Ronald handed Warren a can of cherry-flavored Coca-Cola.
"Garfield's last speech about a failed industry, the company that finally fails is the best company, is really very good, much better than what I said. Can I use it in my speech this year?
In the letter to shareholders?”
Warren Buffy strongly agrees with many of the philosophies in this movie. He feels that the business principles told in this movie are not only stronger than those business war scenes in movies, but also more thorough than many business school textbooks.
"Of course, this was originally inspired by your letter."
"Peter, you're doing a great job. I ignored you before. You have a very high talent. Anyone who can reach the top in any field has a very good talent. Whether you are willing or not, you can try investing.
, I have prepared a fund for you guys, you and Mary can do whatever you want."
Peter Buffy is also the composer of the film's soundtrack. Warren also took a closer look at his son's Oscar trophy, and had a rare meal with his son Peter, his daughter-in-law and her two daughters.
Family happiness.
After sending Buffy's family away, Ronald was also inspired. He found the movie yearbook of the past ten years, selected some commercial films that were in the top 50 box office, and watched them one by one. He really discovered some problems.
Many important villains are white Puritans or Latino Catholics. Jews also have villains in many plots, but most of them are low-level employees or professionals who are coerced to do bad things...
As for Italians, I don’t know whether it’s because they love making gangster movies, or someone is deliberately adding fuel to the flames. All plots involving gangsters must be Italian gangs.
Closing the file, Ronald felt a little scary.
Movies are the most powerful form of communication. Obviously, according to a survey released by the FBI, the proportion of Italians involved in black crime is smaller than the national average and much smaller than Latinos and blacks. However, several powerful movies have
Rendering, they have become synonymous with gangsters.
The soft power brought by the media is the way all the bottom of society view this society. And Hollywood, which is filled with Jews, is now beautifying Jews and belittling whites and Latinos. It is becoming more and more obvious.
This "Other People's Money" film was nothing special in the 1950s. Many old films had this plot. There were also scenes that specifically filmed the interiors of commercial organizations. There were films like "It's a Wonderful Life" that reflected the story of young people.
The reality of business and small town life being squeezed by large corporations, there are also movies like "Executive Suite" about the political struggles within large corporations.
The entire film industry is no stranger to the business world. Unlike now, because of the younger audience, business wars have been simplified to the simplest range that even middle school students can understand.
The gradual shrinking of the overall market has limited Hollywood movies to a very narrow scope of subject matter. This time, the target market of "Other People's Money" is relatively narrow, and Ronald will look for all the resources he can find in terms of marketing.
Write some articles.
In the next few days, Ronald hosted some bankers in the West led by Bannon in batches. They all liked the movie about their stories, especially Kate, played by Diane at the end.
Her dashing appearance is completely consistent with the temperament of some female lawyers in their industry.
Such a woman, even a Wall Street banker, is very dignified to marry. She is much more respected in the industry than just finding a beautiful woman from the entertainment industry to be a "trophy wife".
This at least shows that you are not only rich, but also very charming, and naturally popular with women. This is exactly what most Wall Street bankers lack. Most of them can't tell whether beautiful women are for their money or... well,
An excellent sense of humor is what keeps them together?
Next, the crew will go to New York to do a few test screenings and spread the news among the crowds in big cities that this movie, which is the most realistic reflection of business war, will be released in the second half of the year. This is what Michael Gray told him.
The first link of the marketing plan.
…
The plan is progressing steadily, and Ronald summoned director Emile Adolino again today.
The video tape of "Firebird" is now on the market, ranking in the top 20 rental rankings, congratulations!"
Ronald gave Adolino a big check as soon as he came on. This was a reward for his box office success.
"I'm very happy..." Adolino accepted it with a smile. After seeing the number on the check, the shy director couldn't help but whistle.
"What's the new project?" Ronald smiled and threw a bottle of mineral water over. Adolino's partner was relatively healthy and now asked him not to drink carbonated drinks.
"Yes, this is a project I have wanted to shoot for a long time." Adolino took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Ronald.
The Oscar he won was the Best Documentary Award for the documentary he shot in 1983. It told the story of a group of children learning to dance. This made him have an indissoluble bond with dance. Even
His long-term partner is also a male dancer.
"The Nutcracker...", Ronald touched the cover of the document. The introduction below said the outline of the film, which is the version of the Nutcracker rehearsed by the New York City Ballet and the original dance director Balanchine.
The changing dance movie.
"I am very familiar with the new dance director of the New York City Ballet. Originally, a ballet would be broadcast on television every Christmas. However, this tradition has declined a bit in recent years. I want to restore this tradition, America's
Children not only need gunfights, violence, and love, they also need the influence of some classical traditions."
It turns out that Adolino has been the second-largest expert in the field of modern dance films for many years, besides Ronald. The New York City Ballet is the trust foundation of the late old director George Balanchine, who selected Antonia to join the company.
, came to the door, they knew they could not afford Ronald, so the main public relations target was Adolino.
It just so happened that he also liked the content, so the two parties hit it off.
"New York City Ballet, Balanchine,...", the past memories came to mind, and Ronald stopped trying to persuade Adolino not to accept such a movie. Because the expression forms of stage plays and movies are completely different.
Franco Zeffirelli, the Italian director who made the Brooke Shields movie "Endless Love", was also determined to put the opera "Otello" on the screen. As a result, Minahan couldn't bear the loss.
But if children from ordinary families in America just watch these childish Hollywood videos, will they no longer have the ability to appreciate art and the soil for future geniuses?
Anyway, if you don't let him make a movie that is the director's hobby, he will eventually find other money to make it. Ronald just needs to be a good person.
"I am willing to cooperate with Balanchine's foundation to make a movie, which is very meaningful. But in your current situation, I think you still need a commercially successful movie to consolidate your position in Hollywood. To
You know the rules of Hollywood are like this. Once you have made a blockbuster movie, you can make a movie that you like that is not that blockbuster..."
Adolino's first two films, "The Beautiful Man", lost money, and "Three Dads and a Baby II" were not very profitable. "Firebird" is showing improvement. If there is another blockbuster film,
Then he can be considered the number one figure in Hollywood and can talk about some movies he wants to make on an equal footing.
"Is there any script?" Adolino is not Zeffirelli who only pursues art. His life and wealth have improved greatly in the past two years.
"There is a script from Disney that I originally wanted to write. I think you are more suitable for this kind of movie and recommend you to participate in the production from the beginning." Ronald took out a script from the drawer and threw it to him
Front.
Adolino has not been very calm recently. He has his own ideas. He wants to imitate Ronald and open his own production company. The artist's heart is always so strange. If Ronald doesn't let him do it, he will definitely do it.
There is a contradiction.
But if you help me, there are no everlasting artists in Hollywood. There will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
"Sister Act?"
"Yes, this is a comedy about religion and music. Disney's Touchstone Pictures, which is mainly responsible for live-action films and television, initially found Bette Midler to star. However, she thought twice and refused, so the project is now transferred to
I'm here. If you're interested, we can finish shooting this movie first, and then you can shoot what you want."
There are only two famous white female stars in Hollywood who can act, sing and sing. One is Bette Midler, who is a bit ugly. The other is Sissy Spacek, a beauty who is far away from Hollywood. This comedy only
I can find Bette Midler (because the lead character in a comedy can’t be too beautiful).
But Bette Midler thought twice and gave up on the grounds that her fans could not accept her playing a nun.
In fact, Ronald understood that this was the psychological struggle of an ugly star. There is no woman who doesn’t want to dress up beautifully. It’s okay to act ugly like this once or twice, but if you do it too much, it will make you unhappy, and it will be very difficult.
It may cause mental illness.
As soon as Ronald saw the script that had been circulated, he thought of Whoopi Goldberg. When she was filming "Ghosts", she had no resistance to being a nun and even joked about playing a nun.
Woolen cloth.
Ronald found her and hit it off quickly. However, Ronald felt that he had a bad grasp of comedy, so he asked Adolino to join the show.
"This script is very interesting..." Adolino spent an afternoon in Ronald's office, reading the script carefully twice.
"If you are willing to direct, I will negotiate with Disney. The salary and treatment will be according to what you deserve... In addition, you can name yourself as one of the producers..."
Adolino quickly contacted Disney and signed a cooperation agreement. Ronald also participated in some investments on behalf of Daydream.
The production of this movie was put on the agenda. Ronald was actually very optimistic about this movie. Christians have a broad base in America, and this movie is very interesting. It is also like a ghost relationship, secretly
Caters to the values of the church.
Therefore, this kind of movie has potential audiences all over the country, not just in big cities. However, the script still has some problems and is not commercial enough. Ronald needs to find a screenwriter to revise it and completely change the rhythm and structure of the story. No one
I like preaching, but I like the subtle meaning hidden under interesting stories.
"What do you want, Ronald?"
The screenwriter sitting in CAA Niceta's office is the actress Ronald has worked with, Carrie Fisher. She is also the goddess in the eyes of many otakus and the actress who plays Princess Leia in Star Wars.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because of her appearance and unrestrained lifestyle, she is no longer suitable to play a sexy and beautiful heroine. She also has the idea to transform behind the scenes and become a heroine.
The screenwriter.
Ronald agreed with some of her ideas. In addition, the main characters in the story "Nuns Are Crazy" are a group of nuns and a singer who lives in Las Vegas. This kind of story is told by a man who comes from a musical family.
It would be most appropriate for Kelly Fisher to write it.
“Make it nice…don’t make it too profound…”
"Ha, I understand..."
Carrie Fisher immediately understood, isn't it just like Hollywood? She grew up listening to her mother Debbie Reynolds talk about musicals at home. She is one of the greatest musicals, the actress of "Singin' in the Rain"
main character.
"Yeah, that's pretty much it. The original script wanted to express a lot of profound meanings, but it just didn't look good. Just remove most of them and leave the part about religion making people do good and encouraging people to unleash their potential."
"Understood..." Carrie Fisher also cooperated and copied Ronald's opinions into her notebook, saying that she would follow the script doctor's rules - to realize the boss's will in the script.
"Is Whoopi Goldberg coming today?" Carrie Fisher asked as soon as she put her notebook away. She loved Whoopi's stand-up comedy.
"Yes, but she is a star now, you have to wait..." Ronald replied with a smile, Whoopi Goldberg was half an hour late today. Ronald actually felt a little grudge.
"Hi, Ronald, Kelly...nice to meet you." Just at this moment, Whoopi Goldberg walked in and hugged Ronald.
"You must be scolding me in your heart, saying that I am so arrogant now that I have become a star, right?" Whoopi Goldberg let out a hearty laugh.
"Ha, you are a star now, and being late is a privilege. As for today, this time is not considered late for a star..." Ronald couldn't bear the teasing of this comedy talk show master.
"Let me tell you, I actually went out a long time ago. But the car was stuck in traffic for a long time on the way to CAA..."
"There was a traffic accident?"
Whoopi Goldberg walked to the window, opened it, pointed out the window and said to Ronald, "Look, that's why I'm late..."
Ronald and Carrie Fisher walked to the window together and looked intently. They saw a person wearing a Batwoman costume making a fuss at the door of CAA...
