Oprah asked William: Have you ever thought about investing in a movie yourself?
William shook his head helplessly. Of course I had thought about filming it, but after learning about the operations of some big Hollywood companies, I gave up the idea unless I could buy a Hollywood distribution company.
Otherwise, if I really rush into it, I will definitely be screwed by those big Hollywood companies. There are too many ways to do this, and movies that make money will be turned into unprofitable or even lose money by their tricks. I don’t have the energy to fight with them.
These Hollywood companies are screwing up.
Russell, who had been sitting silently, suddenly said: William, maybe you can cooperate with Ridley and I. We are natives of Hollywood, and we know everything about movies. I see this script very much, and we can cooperate.
Russell's words surprised everyone, and they couldn't help but become curious. Is this script really so attractive? Even Ridley and Russell wanted to join.
Russell's words are exactly what William wants. He finally waited until you said this. He knows that Russell has always wanted to change his career to be a director. Now there is a rich man and an outsider in his eyes. If not William, who is he to fool?
William pretended to be in trouble, thought for a while, then nodded and said: We can find a time to talk, and we will talk about the details after the discussion.
Ridley nodded. He had been in Hollywood for decades. The pirate theme was not favored by people before, but William's script, which seemed to tell the story of the movie in real life, still moved him.
Mainly because William spoke so clearly, down to the details, which made Ridley interested in this pirate script.
Who doesn't like money? What's more, the two of them thought that William, a rich man, would invest, which made them more confident. They both thought that as long as it was run properly, the project would have a high chance of success.
But William doesn't want to make a movie by himself. He doesn't have the energy or thought. He wants to use the movie to stir up topics and improve his reputation in the United States. With the participation of big directors and Oscar-winning actors, this pirate movie will definitely be widely known.
To spread.
With the addition of the song "He's a Pirate" to the script, his popularity in the United States will definitely be higher, and William's every move will become the focus of the media.
He was thinking about fishing with the p in his hand. He didn't know whether he would be able to catch the Apple he wanted, but there was nothing to lose in trying.
The interview finally returned to the topic. Everyone talked about the Gladiator movie. Gladiator's box office in the United States has exceeded 1.5 billion US dollars a little over a month after it was released. If we work hard, it may exceed 1.6 billion US dollars.
So Russell and Ridley came to Oprah's talk show today to canvass votes. After listening to Russell and Ridley's words, William suddenly thought of a good idea. I have an idea. Let's bet on Gladiator's nomination.
Oprah nodded happily after hearing this. This is a good note, but William, I have to ask first, have you seen this movie?
God, how could I not have seen it? I only saw it once in England, and last night I went to watch it again with Ambrosio. After saying that, she pointed at Ambrosio, and Ambrosio saw the camera turning to her.
, hurriedly nodded and showed a happy smile.
Oprah laughed and joked: Well, William, you are really good at being a boyfriend. You really know how to find opportunities to help your girlfriend. How about I invite you two to do it again next time.
Ambrosio's face immediately turned red after hearing this. She had received too many surprises when she came here today. William was not that repelled by being on the show, not to mention that it was Oprah's personal invitation, so William couldn't.
Rejected in public.
William said with a smile: No problem, maybe we will come back when my p is launched, or when Ambrosio is on Victoria's Secret, I'm afraid that by then your shows will be scheduled for next year.
I welcome you anytime you want to come. Okay, let’s talk about what you just proposed. Since it was you who proposed it, you can predict it first, William.
William turned to look at Russell and Ridley, who were also curious about how William predicted.
Seeing that the two of them didn't mind him stealing the topic, William said: My rough prediction is that Gladiator will receive 12 Oscar nominations, and the final winner will be Best Actor, Best Director or Best Picture, Costume and
Visually, if Ridley doesn't win Best Director, the film will definitely win Best Picture.
12 nominations, are you serious? William, do you know what 12 nominations mean? And although it is very rude, how can you be sure that Ridley will definitely win the best director or the best picture? After talking about it,
Pula apologized to Ridley several times, but Ridley didn't care. He also wanted to hear why William thought so highly of him.
William smiled and said: "Intuition, this is the intuition I got after watching Gladiator twice. As for Best Director and Best Picture, if I don't win either, I will donate 5 million US dollars to the American Women and Children's Fund."
meeting
Everyone was shocked by what William said. This guy really dared to say it. If he really didn't win the prize, then William would really have to donate 5 million US dollars.
If such words that are said in public are not fulfilled, then William will no longer need to be around, and the world will laugh at him.
Ridley asked in surprise: Are you serious? William, you must know that your words must be fulfilled. Now I hope that I won't win the best picture and best director. Then the 5 million US dollars will be in the Women's and Children's Fund.
How many people in need can be helped through its operation?
William said with a smile: "Then what will you say if I guess it right?"
God, this is really a problem. I'm not as rich as you. How about I donate 500,000? Ridley said in embarrassment. He also looked at Russell next to him and then gave William a vague wink.
.
Russell quickly understood Ridley's thoughts, looked at William with a smile, blinked his eyes and then said: "Then if I win the prize, I will also donate 500,000."
William looked at Russell and Ridley's glances and understood within a few seconds that these two people were acting. After thinking about it quickly, what he just said was indeed a bit suspicious of forcing people to donate money.
Fortunately, Ridley and Russell are veterans who have been working in Hollywood for decades. They knew that William's bet just now was to help them argue and increase the box office of the movie. It would be trivial if the box office could really hit $500,000.
Realizing this, William pretended to be anxious and said cooperatively: "nyi, that's so boring. If you two win the prize, I will donate the money. How about each of you being my driver for a day? Hehe, this must be very interesting, man."
You must be the most expensive drivers in the world, with a daily salary of 2.5 million US dollars.
I have never tried a big Hollywood director or the best actor to drive for me. It will feel really good. Maybe it will be recorded in Hollywood history, and I am the protagonist and you two are supporting roles, haha.
Ridley looked at William with a look of thanks for his cooperation, jumped up with a smile, clapped his hands with Russell, and said: "How about Russell, I know William is a kind-hearted young man, he will definitely be deceived by me, William, Russell and I
How did the two of them perform? If we can really win the Best Director and Best Leading Actor, we will definitely cash in the 500,000 donation.
Russell smiled and shook his head. Yes, William is indeed a great young man. This ending is the most perfect, haha.
William was secretly happy. He did this to pretend to be young and inexperienced. He didn't want to appear too smart or too evil in the eyes of ordinary people. This was inconsistent with his age. A top-notch scientist would have to have a lower emotional intelligence to fit in with the public's perception.
, otherwise people will regard him as an alien if he knows everything.
So William pretended to be annoyed and looked at Ridley and Russell. Is this really okay? He lied to me, a pure young man, which made the whole audience laugh.
Only those who have interacted with William cursed in their hearts after watching the show. Damn it, even those with a black heart can write.
