Perfect Life

United States, Florida, a small town on the southern coast. `

George Simmons walked all the way, and people kept greeting him and asked him how his journey was with concern. Simmons answered with a smile, but did not stop, and went all the way to the producer's office that was temporarily set up here. After finishing his clothes, he knocked on the door - "in!" said inside.

Simmons pushed open the door and went in. The person behind the desk was answering the phone, but when he looked up to see who was coming, he still said, "Oh, George, sit!"

Simmons sat down on the sand, put his briefcase on the coffee table, and waited patiently for the caller to finish. But this call seemed to be unusually long. Simmons sat there for ten minutes, and then heard producer John hissing and arguing with the other side of the phone, and then he finally hung up with a snap. Telephone,"!"

Simmons quickly straightened his back, then stood up consciously, "Boss, do you need me to make you a cup of coffee?"

"Oh, George..." He slumped limply on the chair, rubbing his forehead with his hand.

Simmons shrugged, then leaned over to open his briefcase, took out a jar of "Jasan Souchong" that looked quite upscale, and said, "A present for you, boss!"

"tea?" John opened his eyes and smiled, "Oh, hahaha, George...a-tea!"

He finally got up and walked over, picked it up, and sat down beside Simmons, "Good present!" Saying so, he picked up the iron jar and glanced at the odd-shaped Chinese characters. After a while, he said: "You know, a! (China is porcelain, which can be extended to China is the country of porcelain) The most abundant products in China are porcelain and tea, isn't it?"

While speaking, he put down the tea, but suddenly scolded, "fubsp; paused. He complained: "If only James was as sensible as you...! ! fubsp; A subtle look flashed across Simmons' face, but he didn't say a word.

Just sitting here listening to the phone for so long, plus he's been on this crew for a year, so of course he understands -- Mr. Director of this movie. The funds have been exhausted again!

Of course, the filming budget should be in the hands of the producer, but James Cameron is not an ordinary little director, he will not let the studio rub it casually, so, so far, he has invested as much as 170 million in this film. dollar film. James Cameron himself, is one of the producers, and, you know, has a stellar resume.

In the more than ten years since his debut, he has directed only five films with various production costs, but each of them is a box office bomb with an amazing return on investment. Therefore, the big fat John sitting in front of him is very It's hard to really restrain him!

then. He became one of Hollywood's famous hard-pressed producers.

Facing James Cameron, he basically couldn't get tough, so he could only coax and persuade him, trying his best to save food and clothing, so that James Cameron could shoot as many scenes as possible. Facing the top management of the studio, he also tried his best. I can only pat my chest to ensure that I and Cameron do not waste every cent of investors' dollars, and then help Cameron to beg grandpa and grandma's investment everywhere!

But you must know that even now in 1998, there are more than 100 million US dollars invested in movies. There are two or three films appearing in Hollywood almost every year, but the problem is that their current film has burned through 170 million US dollars so far. And it’s only halfway through—even Wall Street, who doesn’t know anything about movies, would not invest in such a movie that burns endless money.

It can support the filming until now. First, because the producers have already invested a lot of money, they really don’t want to see such a large sum of money wasted in vain, so they can only choose to continue to believe in James Cameron. , the second is the final analysis. James Cameron's box office achievements in the past have made him the best endorsement, so that everyone still has a certain box office fantasy about this surprisingly expensive film.

Of course, Simmons is a paid assistant producer, so he only does what his boss tells him to do.

So, after John vented for a while, he took out a folder from his briefcase, took out a contract, and said, "Boss, it's done."

John took a look at it and put it on the coffee table, but after thinking about it, he picked it up again and looked at it seriously. After reading the two pages of the contract, he asked, "li-qian? Oh? , yes! The most popular boy in China, right?"

Simmons replied: "Yes, boss, but, in fact, he is not a singer. As far as I know, he is the owner of a record company, and he is also the most famous songwriter and music producer in China. Of course, he has a band of his own. 'The female singer we need, Liao, is his lover, and their relationship is public. Oh, by the way, I also learned after arriving in China that he is still a a screenwriter."

"Interesting!" John said that, but John didn't care, just glanced at the contract again, and put it down, "Half million dollars, this is a good deal, George!" After a while, he said proudly. : "He and his female companion have the energy to bring us at least millions of box office bonuses!"

Simmons shrugged, then took out a box of very simple CDs from his briefcase, "Boss, this was given to me by Lee after the contract was signed, and asked me to pass it on to you."

John took it and asked, "What?" Glancing at the tape on the CD box, he frowned, "my-heart-e11-go-on? hat?"

Simmons shrugged, pointed to the cd, and said, "This was handed to me by Lee, and I hope I bring it to you. It is said that this is one of his works, and it was also sung by his female partner. It's an English song."

John was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he laughed, "!" After a pause, he held the CD box with **** with disdain, shook it, and said, "What we need is their popularity in China! As for his Whether the work is good or bad, who cares?...Chinese music...oh, yes, I know Chinese Kung Fu and...jing-ju, then. Porcelain, tea, but,. We don't need his English songs! "

After a pause, he exclaimed, "Chinese people can't understand English songs! Chinese people can't write English songs! They need to read subtitles...you-kno-it."

While speaking, he threw the box of CDs on the coffee table and said, "George, tell him. I received it. I personally appreciate his work very much, and thank him for the gift!  …oh-! I want Going to James, we're going back to LA together, **** James!"

Simmons shrugged and stood up.

He did bring the gift, didn't he?

…………

Monday, June 26. At 9:40 in the morning, the last exam of the basics of film and television management was over.

At the same time, it also means that Li Qian's sophomore year is over.

After walking out of the examination room, some people hurriedly put on their backpacks, dragged their suitcases, and started to drive the car, while others simply packed a small bag and left the school, but the former was rushing home. The latter is in a hurry to start a part-time work experience that is likely to be the first time in his life.

As we all know, we met again after two months, so I didn't even feel a little bit of parting, so we went our separate ways very easily.

Li Qian's dormitory. Considering that Song Yupin is Sun Yuting's little follower, Sun Yuting has found a job, which basically means that Song Yupin also has work to do, and it is said that during this summer vacation, Sun Yuting and the others are going to a film and television base in the south, of course. It's not an important job, drama managers, assistants, field notes... a must-have experience for newcomers.

Liu Xueyi, the head of the dormitory and the eldest of the six brothers in the dormitory, chose to go home to accompany his wife. It is said that she has been pregnant for half a year, and the due date is in August this year. Li Qian and the others have even prepared a gift for the little guy. Well, this time when he goes back, he will take it back with him.

The third oldest Lu Bin and the old fifth Fu Xuelong, the former has always had the best relationship with Li Qian. He has a broad temperament, his family is not short of money, and he is not ostentatious, so he has always been popular among Li Qian and his classmates. the best.

The latter is regarded as a technical tyrant. He is taciturn on weekdays, but when it comes to photography talent, he is the only person in the 96th grade of the entire photography department that makes Li Qian feel ashamed.

This summer vacation, the two of them also wanted to find a job, so Li Qian hesitated for a long time before deciding to introduce the two of them to Jin Han. In the next ten days, "Love of Spring Onion" should be finished, and Jin Han took the initiative. After that, I will start shooting MVs for Liao Liao and He Runqing, which will be a good opportunity for Lu Bin and Fu Xuelong to learn and practice.

In fact, whether to let his classmates work for him is something that Li Qian struggled with for a long time. Born in a film academy, a large number of classmates around him are the most unique resources. It would be too wasteful not to get together to do something, but since Li Qian came to this time and space, it is difficult to have a few people who can chat and spank together, The good buddies who are not afraid of meat and fish are really unwilling to become a boss and a worker with them.

Therefore, although the plan to establish the imaging department of Minghu Culture Company has been in Li Qian's heart for a long time, he has also aimed at Jin Han and is going to invite him to be the company's imaging director, but whether he will pull all his classmates In the past, Li Qian didn't think about it. During the final exam, Sun Yuting said that she had found a crew willing to accept it. Song Yupin and Xue Changlong hurriedly rushed to ask for "support" without knowing why, Lu Bin Neither Fu Xuelong nor Fu Xuelong opened their mouths, either because they were embarrassed, or because they were afraid that too many people would open their mouths, which would make Sun Yuting embarrassed.

In short, Li Qian knew that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ they were really looking for a job, so he spoke cautiously.

But what he didn't expect was that Lu Bin and Fu Xuelong agreed without thinking. Lu Bin laughed and couldn't see anything, but Fu Xuelong, who had always been less talkative, took the initiative to say: "You I finally spoke, a few of us said in the dormitory a few days ago, the second son is so big, why can't we pull the brothers!"

Li Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he couldn't help laughing.

It's actually overthinking it!

…………

After leaving the examination room, Li Qian greeted Song Yupin, Xue Changlong, Liu Xueyi and the others, and told Lu Bin and Fu Xuelong to remember to get up early tomorrow morning. He wanted to send them both to the set of "Love of Green Onions" and let them follow along. Get to know the studio. Then, without waiting to say hello to Sun Yuting and the others, she carried her backpack and left the school.
