Old Chet's voice was still as strong and loud as ever, and he could feel his shock from this phone call.
His actual words were, "I originally thought that the bankrupt Sisters Film and Television Company would only focus on the Hollywood film and television industry. It is unexpected that you are also eyeing the music industry."
"Christina, is it Xia's pseudonym?"
Because the entire cooperation required the support of Mindli Pictures, some of the content was known to Amanda. Amanda knew about it, which meant that old Chet Hanks knew about it, and Xia Yu never thought that he could hide it.
And the last paragraph is from the heart of old Chet Hanks, asking:
"Film and television, screenwriters, directors...lyricists, composers - and novels, are you planning to dominate the world?"
Xia Yu only smiled slightly, "That ambition seems too big, doesn't it?"
Without a formal response, it is always acquiescence. Of course, old Chet Hanks will not break the casserole and ask the truth.
After hanging up the phone, he looked out the window of the villa and could see most of Los Angeles at a glance. His eyes showed a hint of exhaustion and old age.
He was leaning on a gentleman's cane, and his back seemed to be a little bent at this moment.
He asked Amanda, who was standing neatly aside, "Do you know there is such an idiom in China? It's called driving the tiger to swallow the wolf - but at this moment, the wolf has not been swallowed, but this Chinese tiger has already exposed its claws.
…”
His face looked old and tired, but there was no trace of regret in his eyes. Instead, there was a hint of schadenfreude, "I don't know if this young tiger from China will really have a huge impact on Hollywood and even the global film and television industry.
But, for Victoria it must be..."
"As for whether they will become the sinners of Hollywood and even the beautiful country? I think that as long as a few decades or a hundred years later, Mindeli still exists, the Hanks family will still be at the forefront of the world's richest families and will still be aristocrats. My
Mission accomplished, right?"
"Amanda, I know your abilities, but it's a pity that you have wasted so many years because of me - now, if you want to turn the tide, your ability alone is no longer enough. I am also old. This
It’s a crisis, but it’s also your biggest opportunity!”
"Give your best... I will leave all the burden of the future of Mindeli Pictures to you."
Amanda, on the other hand, stood aside all the time, acting serious from beginning to end and not saying a word.
He just stared and nodded slightly.
The other side "Twilight" cast.
"Global domination?"
Xia Yu smiled slightly, "Old Chet really dared to say it...but it seems right, doesn't it?"
But this step towards global domination is only a small step toward success, so during the phone call, Xia Yu also expressed to Old Chet, "I hope Mr. Hanks can help me hide it."
"Humans, before you succeed, on the road to success, the most important thing is to keep a low profile..."
Another week has passed since I had a phone call with old Chet Hanks.
The reading of "Twilight 2" was not as smooth as expected.
According to Ashley's arrangement, the round-up reading can only take a week at most, but the actors don't think so. It's not that they are uncooperative, but they are too cooperative. They realize that nearly a week is wasted in the round-reading stage of "Twilight 1"
, this time I have to make up for it with all my strength.
The level of seriousness is comparable to that of a major exam, with back and forth, character biographies, round-up readings, rehearsals...it dragged on for a week.
It's not completely without benefits. At least during the rehearsal process, you can feel that compared to three months ago, you are no longer passively reading around, but taking the initiative to complete more tasks and have more "quantity" in yourself.
accumulation.
Maybe, this or two times have not been able to completely change anything, but what about three or four times, five or six times? After the accumulation has been achieved, maybe the seventh time will be able to complete a qualitative leap, maybe it is just two or three years of gritting one's teeth,
It can change the lives of these actors.
Another benefit is that some special buildings and scenes for "Twilight 2" were also completed under intensive work in the past two weeks.
And this week, there is still good news. The first is the album "Brian Zhou". Although the sales have declined, it is still at the forefront. In addition to the first week sales, as long as the sales are stable, there is nothing else.
As a classic album, with its current popularity and rave reviews, there is no doubt that it will win the annual album sales list this year!
There is no doubt that it will be ranked in the Billboard 200 albums next year. As for whether it can win the year-end Billboard 200 albums chart - it still requires a certain amount of hard work. After all, these days, in any circle, there are
An example of someone emerging out of nowhere, or a strong person returning.
But for Brian Zhou, this news can no longer be described as tears of joy.
Xia Yu had already told him in advance that there was no need to make a special trip to celebrate with her, but Brian Zhou came anyway.
After all, the crew of "Twilight" is still in the reading stage, so there is no way to celebrate grandly. They can only have a meal and drink together at Fox Bistro. Brian Zhou is usually a very restrained child.
I rarely drink alcohol because I am worried that it will be bad for my throat.
But this time, I was very drunk and didn't go crazy. I just kept silent and sobbing...
The two brothers, Daniel and Antonio, drank with him without speaking, and finally carried him back to the hotel——
at the same time.
"Twilight" remains at the top of the bestseller list for the eighth week, winning the third consecutive title.
"Twilight" has set off a craze throughout North America and Europe. As for China - if it weren't for the fact that "Stephanie Xia" had been announced online and cooperated with Stic Publishing House to predict the launch of the Chinese version in June and July, fans of the novel would also have
If you are willing to wait, and the awareness of authenticity in this R-rated literary and artistic world is stronger, pirated translations may have been flying all over the place for a long time.
The time has come to mid-April. Due to the second China International Film Festival this year, the three major Chinese film awards this year have been postponed to the year after next. Also because "Trafficking" participated in the Venice Film Festival in September last year.
It was released in November and did not participate in the competition for the Hong Kong Film Awards last year, so it was moved to next year.
Many Chinese films are eyeing this year's China International Film Festival and are scheduled to be released this year. There is no doubt that next year's Hong Kong Film Awards will be a big competition.
Fast forward to now, with all kinds of domestic and international entertainment news, the reading of "Twilight 2" has ended successfully.
There was no extra room to rest. That afternoon, everyone got together and had a barbecue and seafood banquet. After they finished eating, Ashley announced, "Everyone should go to bed early. We will meet on the set at seven o'clock tomorrow morning!"
In full swing, "Twilight 2" has officially entered the filming stage.
