Chapter 525 Mixed OR master?

Speaking of the movie "Midnight Express", although Wu Cheng is sure that he hasn't seen it before, he is a little familiar with its name and can't remember it for a while.

Unless you search in the memory tree.

Based on several major elements of the script, Wu Cheng carefully browsed it, finally put it together and said with a smile: "A very good script. Although the box office may not be excellent, it has the potential to win an award!"

Hearing Wu Cheng say this, Oliver couldn't help but smile, and said with a slight excitement: "What the chairman means is that you can invest in the auction?"

"Do you have a suitable director? Or, you can try it yourself?"

"Me? No, no, I, I can only be an assistant director! With my strength, I can't compete with the role of director yet..." Oliver obviously has no confidence in his strength, or is very self-aware, knows what kind of ability and what kind of things to do. "As for the director candidate, I think director Parker, who films "Home Imposses", is good!"

Wu Cheng nodded and said, "That's true! Notify the caa brokerage company and let them operate!"

Shirley Lansing said in the sidelines: "Boss, our own company can operate such small-cost films. Why do we have to go through their own procedures to increase the cost!"

She didn't know why, but she was just a little unhappy.

After all, after cooperating with DreamWorks, Caa has now started to cooperate with other film companies, and the effect is very good. But the problem is that the cost of the movie has indeed increased a lot. Shirley just doesn't feel that the unnecessary costs are earned by them.

Wu Cheng chuckled and said, "What? Are you not willing to be more idle? How much trouble can we save by handing these preparations to Caa?"

"I know this, but I just can't stand the proud face of Orwitz!"

Wu Cheng laughed and said, "Everyone is like this. In the moment of glory, you will inevitably be proud!"

In another time and space, Orwitz will not understand until he will join the film company as president and encounter Water & Lu. But at that time, it was too late.

When he wanted to be glorious again, he realized that the opportunity had been lost.

The times are no longer his times!

But no matter what, that guy has been proud of himself in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years, and he does have the capital to be proud, so he can't accept it! Those big stars who look glamorous and admired by countless people are secretly under their control. How can they not be proud?

"Poss, it's not that I want to say bad things about him! I think it will be dangerous if that continues!" Shirley frowned and shook her head, "Hollywood is not just a agency, but Caa's behavior is enemies of the entire film industry!"

Wu Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and finally shook his head and said, "No, Lansing, you're thinking too much! Caa is not an enemy of the entire film industry, but a part of the people and another part of the people. In fact, what I really feel depressed is that the bosses of the film company have nothing to do with others. And the happy people are those filmmakers. Therefore, although what Caa does makes many film company bosses unhappy, it cannot stop it from moving forward!"

If it could be stopped, it would be impossible for Caa to reach that level in another time and space! In fact, Lansing also knew that she was a little unhappy and just nagged Wu Cheng.

Oliver on the side was a little confused. Wu Cheng was the boss of the film company. Even though he knew that Caa's actions would make the boss of the film company unhappy, why did he still have to cooperate with them? Is the boss of Caa company also Wu Cheng?

Leave the script of "Never bow your head" to Oliver and ask him to take it back for the screenwriters to polish it, and then contact the screenwriters of this book to buy the script.

"In addition, you can polish the script "The Love of Man and Ghost" as soon as possible. I need to invest as soon as possible. After finishing the polish, I will leave it to Caa for operation! In addition, there is also "Fifty First Love Times", which can be filmed this year. If you add "Never bow your head", Oliver's "Midnight Express", and Stallone's "The Alley", then there will be six movies in our DreamWorks that need to be released this year, and I think it should be enough!"

"Chairman, what about the movie "Shawshank Redemption" and "Forrest Gump"?" Oliver couldn't help saying: "I think that although those two scripts only have an outline, if they are filled and polished, their selling points will be better than other scripts! You may even win an award!"

"I plan to shoot these two scripts after their novels are published, that is, next year and the year after. Because this year, our DreamWorks already has two films that have the potential to win awards. If you shoot these two films again, it will be a waste of resources!"

"Is the boss going to take pictures by himself?" Shirley Lansing asked with a smile.

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "It depends on the situation! If I have time, I will definitely take pictures!"

Wouldn't it be a waste of opportunities if you don't shoot a movie that won the award? If you have the opportunity to gain reputation in North America, it would be good. Moreover, he has not seen many movies with the potential to win the award. In addition to those special effects blockbusters, such as the big ship film, and "The Lord of the Rings".

However, when will these special effects blockbusters be filmed?

Therefore, before this, it is also necessary to gain reputation here.

Although you don’t have to win the award, the problem is, if you keep shooting movies and being a director, if you never win the award, even if you think it’s nothing, what will outsiders think?

Now Wu Cheng understands a little why many directors fight to the end with those Grand Prix events. It’s entirely because of the problem of face!

In that position, sometimes even if you don’t want to, you will be forced to walk on that road.

So, even though you know that such a movie can win an award, why don’t you shoot it yourself?

In addition to these movies, Wu Cheng also thought that the film "Save Private Ryan" that Spielberg will also win the award, and the film "Smelling the Fragrance" starring Al Pacino, the male lead of "The Godfather", also won the award.

Wu Cheng feels that he can shoot one movie a year in the future and make all these movies.

He didn't believe that his luck would be worse than Martin Scorsese!

This guy has been striving for Oscars since the 1980s, but unfortunately he met a stronger opponent every time he was nominated, and then it was a tragedy.

It was not until the 21st century that he finally won the Oscar for Best Director with the opportunity to remake "Infernal Affairs". It can be said that he is completely a tragic character!

If he also became Martin Scorsese, he would just have a movie with Oscars' potential to win an Oscar every year, and he would not believe that the stubborn old men of the Oscars would be able to hold on.

Thinking of the funny thing, Wu Cheng's lips couldn't help but slightly raised.

However, this smile fell into the eyes of the two subordinates, which was a confident smile.

Judging from Wu Cheng's confident look, the two subordinates are also full of energy. With such a leader, you will never be afraid of having no future!

Before, Oliver received an invitation from Martin Scorsese to ask him to help, and Oliver was also very excited. But if you think about staying at DreamWorks, you will have the opportunity to direct your own movie. Didn’t you get the director opportunity to watch Stallone?

Even a big and crude man like that can get such an opportunity. Oliver believes that with his own abilities, he will never be able to get it in the future.

You know, DreamWorks is famous for promoting newcomers!

If you have learned about Wu Cheng’s deeds, you will find that many young people can be quickly promoted whether it is DreamWorks in California or Donglong International in Xiangjiang.

In other words, in Wu Cheng's company, we don't care about qualifications, but only about strength!

Therefore, such companies are the easiest companies for those talented young people to come forward.

Many companies in North America will not give such opportunities to young people. If young people want to make a name, they can only make independent movies. Only after they have their reputations will they give you a chance. But the premise is that you have to give your reputations and find opportunities.

But in general, how can newcomers get investment so easily?

So Oliver felt that he was still lucky. He came to DreamWorks and soon became the leader of the screenwriter team. Now he has directly obtained the position of deputy director... If he wants, it is actually not impossible to get the position of director.

But he also knew that this was his opportunity, but he might also fall into a big way because of this opportunity. So, for the sake of safety, he still pulled Parker in.

"Okay, start working!" Wu Cheng clapped his hands and stood up and said, "Oliver, let's continue to explain the plot of the script on the screenwriter team!"

"Don't worry, the screenwriter team has signed a confidentiality agreement."

"It's better to remind me!" Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Be careful, there's no big mistake!"

"Okay, I will!"

...

After leaving DreamWorks, Wu Cheng sat down with Mr. Smith from Michigan for more than an hour. Most of the time, Wu Cheng sat quietly listening to the white man in his thirties expounding his views.

Wu Cheng occasionally interjected one sentence, of course, he occasionally interjected one sentence, and often pointed to the key points. In fact, Wu Cheng was a layman in the automobile industry, pretending to understand if he didn't know.

Then who has said that life is like a play, it is all about acting skills! If you want to compete, you have to be able to pretend to compete!
