MTL - Hollywood Lover-Chapter 553 Finding Nemo

"Maybe, maybe we're being secretly filmed, maybe we'll see the host later!" Ren, who was moved by his brain opening, looked around excitedly, and suddenly grabbed Xia Pei's hand excitedly, looking straight to the side cast a glance.

   "Shut up, Ren!" Xia Pei, who was unhappy at first, suddenly broke out, and his **** rose and fell, which made people's eyes hot.

   "What happened?" A large group of students gathered around.

   "What!" Everyone saw the names of Troy and Gabriela, and looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

   Isn't Troy the school's basketball star? Why did he suddenly become someone who wants to go to a musical?

  Waved his hand exaggeratedly, Xia Pei waved his hand angrily, angrily pushed everyone away and ran out.

   Very simple, too simple, Zhang Dongcheng smiled and signaled to pass.

  Campus song and dance movies are hardly a challenge compared to my own director skills...

  The shooting of the film went extremely smoothly, and it will soon be December, and there will be another half a month to finish all the shooting.

  But Director Smith Zhang stopped because Christmas was coming.

In the past, Smith Zhang, who used to squeeze all the people for fun, finally gave in extrajudicially. According to the usual practice of all Hollywood film crews in the United States, he took a big vacation. Everyone can take a rest on this day that is most worthy of family reunion, and spend time with their children. People, family together.

   But Zhang Dongcheng didn't stop being busy. Christmas is the best day to get in touch with the bosses of major companies and maintain friendship.

  He kept visiting and attending various parties. When Zhang Dongcheng's superhuman physique felt a little tired, he would also attend the party held in his own home.

   This party is private, and all the people who come are good friends, or people who Zhang Dongcheng values ​​more in the future.

The huge villa is brightly lit, the bright lights almost illuminate the night sky, and the members of the classical music orchestra are wearing formal tuxedos one by one, playing music with cheerful rhythm and atmosphere, which makes people happy. Back and forth in the hall.

  The entire hall was overcrowded, noisy voices and laughter sounded from time to time, formally dressed men and women crowded together holding champagne, in twos and threes, chatting about topics of interest to each other and bursting into laughter from time to time.

  While drinking champagne, chatting, toasting with handsome men and beautiful women, and dancing with enthusiastic and generous girls, this cheerful Christmas flavor is different.

The center of the room is a real Christmas tree, which is seven or eight meters high. It is covered with various colorful lights for decoration, as well as various beautiful ribbons, and many gift boxes are hanging on top.

  The weather is a little cold. If it is summer, there will be many beautiful girls in bikinis playing in the swimming pool outside, showing off their hot and powerful figures.

  There are people inside and outside the house, noisy and lively, generous and public. This is the party life that Americans are most passionate about.

  In Zhang Dongcheng's study room, there were quite a few people, all of whom were famous movie stars and directors in Hollywood without exception.

  With cigars in their hands, the men chatted and laughed together in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

  Yang Qi knocked on the door, then walked in, and said to Zhang Dongcheng who was sitting on the main seat holding a red wine and lighting a cigar: "Mr. Smith, Mr. Nicholas is here."

   In order to let others understand, Yang Qi deliberately used English.

   Nicholas? Who else, of course, is Nicolas Cage, the Hollywood actor!

  Nicolas, who became the king of bad movies in the original time and space, finally got rid of such an embarrassing reputation in this time and space, all because of this guy's good vision.

   If you don’t know how to do it, then follow what Director Smith Zhang said.

   Just like that, with a simple move, Nicholas no longer failed to invest, and the extravagant life of people living on hand can continue. Well, I guess there is no need to worry in this life.

   "Really? This guy is finally here, please invite him in!" Zhang Dongcheng said to Yang Qi, crossing Erlang's legs.

   Keanu Reeves on the side heard Nicholas coming, and immediately yelled: "Ha, this guy came so late, did he go to pick up girls again? It's so late, he has to be punished!"

  Brad Pitt immediately took over the words: "Yes, you are right, you have to punish him!"

   "Aha, everyone is here! I'm sorry I'm late!" Nicholas heard Brad Pitt say that he would punish him as soon as he entered the room, so he said with a smile on his face: "Admit the punishment, I accept the punishment, OK?"

   Picking up a glass of red wine on the table, Nicholas poured it in with a nod of his head.

   There was a burst of cheers and applause in the room, and the whistle sounded soon.

   "Nicholas, you did a good job!" Orlando sat aside and smiled.

   But Zhang Dongcheng frowned, curled his lips and said, "Oh, SHIT! Nicholas, you drank my wine!"

  Hahahaha, the whole room erupted in laughter.

   "Aha, I don't even dislike you, what do you dislike me for!" Surprised, Nicholas looked at the wine glass in his hand and said dissatisfiedly.

  Because there were a lot of people in the house and the sound was very noisy, he had to shout loudly, which made everyone laugh again.

  Looking at the people in the room, HOHO, they are all big names!

Actors include Jason Statham, Keanu Reeves, Brandon, Tobey Maguire, Brad Pitt, Orlando and Leonardo, and directors include John Woo, Peter Jackson, Sam Raimi, Carey Stephen Columbus and so on.

   Naturally, Adaman and Fatty Andy are sitting here too, grinning.

   It seems that the most important people of Dongcheng Pictures are here.

   "OK, everyone is here, let's get down to business." Zhang Dongcheng shook his head, completely unable to do anything about Nicholas who likes to be funny.

  Hearing Zhang Dongcheng's words, everyone cheered up. This was the first time Zhang Dongcheng recruited all the big names of Dongcheng Films at once.

   "I'm sorry to disturb everyone at Christmas, but I believe this time will make everyone feel worthwhile..." Zhang Dongcheng's opening remarks are very simple, but they are extremely concerned.

"The work of everyone sitting here is related to movies, so what I'm talking about is also about movies, about the development of our Dongcheng Films next year." Zhang Dongcheng took a deep puff of his cigar, exhaled a thick puff of smoke, and his eyes were sharp. across everyone's faces.

   "Say it, Smith, we're all listening!" Leonardo answered immediately, making everyone laugh.

"Okay, let me summarize briefly. Next year, Dongcheng Films will make great efforts to set off a frenzy in the United States and Hollywood again. Next year's box office rankings, I hope our Dongcheng Films can win at least the top five!" Zhang Dongcheng's words were so shocking that everyone was stunned!

   At least won the top five in the annual box office list? God, did I hear you wrong?

  Everyone's face changed. How could such a huge goal be achieved?

   But who is in front of you? That is the most eye-catching person in Hollywood, Smith Zhang who will sweep everything with the first Lord of the Rings at next year's Oscars!

  He has always been like this, jumping up from a place that others can't believe, killing the opponent's back, becoming a myth that is looked up to and admired by others!

"Harry Potter, the third part of The Lord of the Rings, and the third part of The Matrix, we only have three at most that can be ranked in the top three at the box office, right? Then there are two more?" Adaman immediately raised his fingers to calculate, But he quickly shook his head, expressing that he couldn't think of it.

  Everyone was also talking about it, citing the movies that they thought might win the top five, but after talking for a long time, they felt that the top five movies were not just something they wanted, and sometimes it really depends on luck.

   "Smith, don't we need to worry? It doesn't matter if we don't get the top five, as long as our movie can make money!" Nicholas rolled his eyes and said everyone's aspirations.

  He was absolutely right, because everyone present invested money in and became shareholders of Dongcheng Films, and they would naturally benefit from the big sales of Dongcheng Films' films.

"I'm not just chasing the top five box office rankings, I just want to send a signal to the United States that Dongcheng Films has a firm foothold and will become the number one film company in Hollywood!" Zhang Dongcheng's eyes sparkled with excitement The light, the thrill of that big dream about to come true washed over him.

   Completely break the history of the eight major film companies entrenched in Hollywood, and Dongcheng Films is the only one, starting from next year?

  Everyone couldn't help but be frightened by this seemingly crazy plan, but when they turned around and thought, why is this impossible?

Thanks to the powerful weapon of the film fund, Zhang Dongcheng can start working on countless super blockbuster movies worth billions of dollars at the same time. As long as he excludes the possibility of his own family competing in the ring, and concentrate on producing more than a dozen super movies, it is enough to run from January to October. In February, every month there is a movie with the number one box office.

The film fund is so powerful that it easily solves the most difficult problem of raising funds for super blockbusters. I don’t know whether Zhang Dongcheng’s vision is really that good, or his luck is so invincible, whether it’s a big investment or a big investment. The small movies all exploded at the box office, making people dumbfounded, but they have to admit that Zhang Dongcheng has absolutely no failure at all.

  So, it doesn't seem to be very difficult to win the top five in the annual box office rankings and set the logo of Dongcheng Films on the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth.

   "Next year, Jack's Passion of the Christ will be released, and I'm sure it will be among the top five." Zhang Dongcheng smiled and pointed out an unnoticed movie of Dongcheng Films.

Although everyone knows that Zhang Dongcheng's royal cameraman suddenly went to make a movie by himself, and before he left, he asked for 40 million US dollars from Zhang Dongcheng as a filming fund, but no one thinks that he can shoot the top five films at the US box office. Here comes the movie.

   As long as you don’t lose money! Everyone thinks so.

"I don't think it's possible, is it? Jack is just a photographer after all. Although he has worked with you for so long, he is far behind you in terms of directing skills!" , he never hides anything.

"Aha, I know Jack's skills best, he will be a good director. And what is the Passion of the Christ about? That's Jesus! The American people will cheer, I believe this movie is enough to win about 300 million US dollars in North America. Box office." Zhang Dongcheng smiled mysteriously and snapped his fingers.

   "What, 300 million US dollars! Is this just the North American box office?" Nicholas was taken aback, and immediately calculated the accounts...

  According to my 2% stake in Dongcheng Films, if the 40 million investment brings in 300 million US dollars in income, my gross profit will be 5.2 million US dollars, enough to go to Europe to buy a castle!

  Everyone has weird faces, and everyone calculates according to their shareholding ratio, and the huge amount of US dollars makes everyone smile.

   "Smith Zhang has never missed it, well, let's just think that The Passion of the Christ can take on this important task, so what kind of movie is there?" Jason Statham touched his forehead and said excitedly.

   "Who makes the best money in this world?" Zhang Dongcheng leaned heavily on the sofa, crossed his legs, and Adaman on the side hurriedly filled him with some red wine.

   "Of course women and children earn the best money. This seems to be what the Jews said, right? I heard it's a famous saying for them to get rich!" Fat Peter Jackson said loudly.

"Bingo, that's right! Women and children earn the most money! It's the same when it comes to movies! Chanel's Miss Coco perfume showed me how crazy women spend money, but our Dongcheng Films did not earn money. What a failure it is to use the children's money!" Zhang Dongcheng said bitterly: "I have only known what we have missed since I received a letter."

  Taking out a letter from his pocket, Zhang Dongcheng placed it on the table, and everyone turned their heads curiously to look at the crooked words on it like a child.

  Adaman was the first to grab the letter and read it aloud.

"Hello, Mr. Director Smith! My name is Derek, and I am seven years old. I have an older brother and an older sister." Adaman read in a cadenced voice, and everyone listened patiently. It doesn't seem to mean anything at all.

"My brother is a big fan of yours, and he's always talking about beautiful girls like Megan Fox, Laticia Doria, or Scarlett Johansson. And my sister is a superstar on ZDC TV. She’s a fan, she’s dominating the TV every day, watching variety shows that make her either scream or laugh, and dreaming of becoming American Idol all day long!”

  After reading this, Adaman looked at Zhang Dongcheng strangely, but he smiled and motioned Adaman to continue reading.

"But, I don't have your movies to watch, nor your variety shows, Mr. Smith, everyone says you are a great director and the most famous director in Hollywood, so why don't you make a movie suitable for us children to watch? What? I think, the only one in our family who is not your fan, maybe I am waiting for you to bring us one of the best cartoons?"

  Cartoon? Everyone pricked up their ears when they heard this!

  Cartoon, Disney! Then there are the scary box office "The Lion King" and "Toy Story"!

  Yes, yes! Everyone is an adult, and none of them have children, so they didn't notice the cartoons that they hadn't paid attention to for a long time, but they didn't think that the market of cartoons was enough to scare many people to death!

   "Smith, aren't you going to be an animation director?" Keanu Reeves said suddenly.

  Being an animation director? Zhang Dongcheng suddenly remembered a funny dynamic picture in the future consultation.

   That's a crying girl...

   "I slept with a director yesterday... 5555~~~ Today he said he was an animation director..."

   Well, facing so many people, talking about the future of Dongcheng Pictures, but Zhang Dongcheng's thoughts inevitably turned to women...

  Zhang Dongcheng withdrew his thoughts, despised himself several times in his heart, and quickly said: "Of course I'm not going to make cartoons, I just said, we should challenge Disney!"

"First, we want to build our own cartoon TV channel, broadcast cartoon programs 24 hours a day, and collect cartoons that children love to watch from the whole society. There must be a princess series that girls love to watch! Second, we must launch an animated film next year, and I have already thought about the content, called Finding Nemo!"

  Zhang Dongcheng snapped his fingers and kept talking about his thoughts.

   "Finding Nemo?" Sam Remy scratched at the name, tongue-in-cheek.

   "Finding Nemo" is an American computer-animated film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney in 2003. The film's story and script were written by Andrew Stanton, directed by Stanton and Lee Ankrich. The story mainly tells the fantasy experience of a clownfish Marlin who overprotects his son and Dory, a blue tang fish he meets on the road, looking for Marlin's lost son Nemo in the vast ocean. Along the way, Marlin gradually learns that it has to be adventurous and that its son is capable of taking care of himself.

  The film received unprecedented praise once it was released, and successfully won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature in 2004. Based on the global box office performance, the film has earned a total of about 867 million US dollars in box office revenue. It was the second-highest-grossing film of 2003 and remains the top-selling DVD. The United States had a 3D re-screening on September 14, 2012, and ranked second with $17.5 million in its first weekend.

   With a box office of nearly 900 million U.S. dollars, DVD sales are the first, and even the 3D remake eight years later can earn nearly 100 million U.S. dollars at the box office!

   This is an epoch-making cartoon and the masterpiece of Pixar Animation Studios. Like "Toy Story", this is a super cartoon that can feed a generation!
