Chapter 640: The Future Director Quentin Tarantino
Liu Lang smiled and took the other party's business card, which had the name of the CEO of "Band Apart Film and Television Production Company" written on it.
"CEO? This guy really dares to brag?"
Others don't know his details, but Liu Lang knows it clearly. He was depressed before he was thirty years old. He wrote many scripts but no one invested in him. This Band Apart film and television production company probably has only three or four people.
His "handicraft workshop" couldn't produce any movies in a year. As for his CEO, does a company with only three or four people need him? It's just a name to scare outsiders.
Think about it this way, would those big directors prepare a child's school ceremony for the fire department? Even if you can get 18,000 yuan for such a job, the Los Angeles Fire Department would not hire those big directors.
"Mr. Jimmy, we attach great importance to Wayne's graduation ceremony this time. Many Hollywood stars will appear there, and as the genius who invented the new type of ladder, you will also be one of the protagonists of this ceremony. Director Banks said
You also specially prepared a program, so I came here to see it. I hope you won’t disappoint me!"
Quentin said.
"No problem, my band is ready. Come with me!"
Several people came to the opera troupe. Many female classmates heard that a big Hollywood director was coming to watch, so they all put on beautiful clothes.
Quentin looked seriously at everyone pretending to be sophisticated and signaled that Liu Lang could perform, and a classmate immediately started playing the piano.
Liu Lang's singing voice rang out in the rehearsal room. The soundtrack included piano, cello and violin. After two days of rehearsal, they were already very proficient. There were also the harmonies of more than ten people behind them, which combined with Liu Lang's pure childish voice, made the whole song sing.
The song "Something Just Like This" is performed in an intoxicating way.
Dean Phelps, Director Banks and Quentin were all shocked by the beautiful singing. Even though Phelps and Banks did not understand music, they were infected by the positive energy contained in the song.
"Oh my God! Mr. Jimmy, who wrote this song? It's Grammy Award-winning, why have I never heard it?"
Quentin yelled.
"This song was inspired by Wayne. How about it? It fits the atmosphere of a college entrance ceremony!"
"Suitable, suitable, so suitable, it is simply a portrayal of Wayne's life, Professor Phelps, Director Banks, do you know that there is a great composer at Stanford University, his name is Jimmy
,Didn’t you discover it after such a long time?”
Quentin shouted, his facial expressions were very rich, as if he had discovered a treasure.
Professor Phelps and Director Banks looked at each other, composer? What does that have to do with the two of us?
"This song is destined to become a classic song, and Wayne's graduation ceremony will also become a classic ceremony!" Quentin was really excited.
Just as Liu Lang thought, Quentin is now in the low ebb of his career. No, it cannot be said to be a low ebb, because he has never been in a high ebb.
Quentin worked in a video rental store when he was eighteen years old. After working, he watched countless movies. Finally one day, he seemed to have opened up the "two channels of Ren and Du". He thought he had found the only way to make movies, and then he and a friend
A film and television company was established with only two people...!
There is no money, no scripts, no scripts, the company is just a name in vain, but now that Quentin has opened up the "Rent and Supervisory Lines", everything can be done by himself, so he has written a lot of scripts, not to mention, he relies on
I really made money buying the script, $20,000.
The 20,000 US dollars was all his income in the past five or six years, and after selling the script, he received no response, not even one.
Quentin is an idealistic person. His ideal is to become a well-known director in Hollywood, but the reality is cruel. He is young, has no connections, and does not have great beauty. His talents cannot be used!
Although the United States is said to be full of opportunities by outsiders, in fact it is not the case. The United States is actually the most realistic country. If you are valuable, you will naturally have opportunities. If you are not valuable, there will really be no opportunities at all. Quentin's script
They are all drama films. This kind of script is everywhere in Hollywood. Unless it is very unique to attract investors, the film and television companies will not even take a look at it. Moreover, drama films are very dependent on stars. If
If it had been an unknown little person, it would have probably gone viral as soon as it was filmed.
Quentin's script does have some personal characteristics, otherwise it wouldn't sell for 20,000 US dollars, but how can those big stars star in a movie with a small character? Every film and television company has a dedicated screenwriting team, and they write every year
He has published dozens of scripts, and these scripts are the priority of film and television companies. As for the things written by Quentin, they have been thrown aside long ago. Unless all the screenwriters' things are passed by the company boss, the company boss will not think of his things.
Quentin wants to make money and live! So his film and television company can only "transform" and undertake activities like opening ceremonies. This is similar to those etiquette companies in China more than 20 years later.
Americans have many gatherings and festivals in their daily lives, such as Christmas gatherings, Thanksgiving gatherings, Easter gatherings, etc. The government also has many gatherings, such as celebrating certain anniversaries, etc., all of which require professionals.
Come prepare.
However, there are not many in these two aspects. The most common ones are mass rallies, opposition rallies, protest rallies, and protest rallies. These also need people to prepare, otherwise it will definitely lead to chaos.
Quentin has very strong organizational skills, and with a few assistants he can handle these things in an orderly manner. After two years, he has become somewhat famous.
This time, the Los Angeles Fire Department and the Los Angeles Times jointly held a college promotion ceremony for Wayne, so they approached Quentin. Quentin also attached great importance to it. When he heard that a young Chinese genius would also attend, he thought it would be a good stunt.
Think about it, a seven-year-old university graduate student is full of curiosity in himself, even more topical than Wayne himself. Maybe he can attract some attention, and then his talent may be discovered by Hollywood companies.
When Quentin listened to this song composed by Liu Lang, he immediately realized that he was going to become famous this time.
Quentin is someone who has watched thousands of video tapes. Not only does he watch them, he also has to carefully consider each one, how every detail is expressed with light and shadow, and even what kind of music is used for each scene. Therefore, he
The level of music appreciation has also reached a very deep level, and the level of Liu Lang's "Something Just Like This" is definitely no less high than those tracks that participated in the Grammy Awards.
Just imagine, what effect would it have if a song that could win a Grammy Award appeared for the first time at a promotion ceremony of the Los Angeles Fire Department? It would definitely attract the attention of the Los Angeles Times! Maybe it will be written on it by then.
Here's a paragraph: At Mr. Wayne's college entrance ceremony, the sound of nature suddenly appeared, Quentin Calentino and Jimmy Liu teamed up to give a Grammy-level performance...?
Although the Los Angeles Times is not a big newspaper, let alone compared with the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, it is still far behind the Los Angeles Times in the same city, but it is also a media tycoon with more than half a million readers.
In addition, Los Angeles is an entertainment industry. The emergence of a Grammy-level song will definitely attract the attention of music producers. When the time comes, he will also benefit from it. As long as he can catch the eyes of those people, then he will have the chance.
