Chapter 1804 Forrest Gump
After dinner, Xiao Yunhai received diàn huà from Du Hongtai.
"Director Du, why do you have my temporary mobile phone number?" Xiao Yunhai asked.
Du Hongtai laughed and said, "Of course Wanqing told me. Yunhai, tell me what you think of this script."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Classic. If it's filmed, it's likely to break the ratings record."
Du Hongtai said in surprise: "I didn't expect your evaluation of it to be so high. If Lao Hong heard it, he would be very happy."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Who is Lao Hong's screenwriter?"
Du Hongtai snorted and said, "That's right. His name is Hong Lei, he's a writer, he's written a lot of genres, and Power is his first TV drama script."
The end of the land is not subject to Fang Sun Chayou's feud.
Xiao Yunhai said with admiration: "Mr. Hong is really amazing to be able to write such a script. I'm afraid it's not an easy thing to just want to broadcast it on Huaxia's TV station."
Du Hongtai sighed and said, "I'm worried about this. The film and television bureau told me directly that the script described is too real, and it is suspected of smearing officials. Yunhai, can you think of a solution?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "It's difficult. Originally I planned to go to Minister Liang, but after watching this play, I immediately dismissed the idea. I dare say that Minister Liang will not let this script pass the trial 100%. Director Du, you have There are no plans to change the script"
Du Hongtai smiled bitterly and said, "Lao Hong's temper is too stubborn. It's okay to change the small details, but the big plot can't be moved. Yunhai, to be honest, I really like this script."
Xiao Yunhai pondered for a while, and said, "Director Du, so let's think of a way when I return to Yanjing. It should be more than four o'clock in the morning in Yanjing, so you should sleep a little longer."
Du Hongtai sighed, "How can I sleep?"
Xiao Yunhai was very aware of the distress of a director who saw a good script but couldn't shoot it, so he comforted Du Hongtai a few words, and then hung up diàn huà.
The next day, Xiao Yunhai drove to the studio of David Hartnett.
It is said that it is a studio, but it is actually just renting a few offices. There is only one person in each position, and most of them are bodyguards.
Of course, although the sparrow has all the internal organs,
Everyone has their own responsibilities.
Under the guidance of měi nu's agent Melinda Dunlop, Xiao Yunhai walked into David's office.
"Hey, David, what are you busy with?" Xiao Yunhai greeted with a smile.
David Hartnett was reading a script for a TV drama, and when he heard the voice, he raised his head, saw Xiao Yunhai, and quickly got up and said, "Mr. Xiao, why didn't you tell you to come earlier, I'll go down to meet you. "
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said with a smile, "I was downstairs and wanted to call you a diàn huà, but I happened to meet Ms. Melinda, so I came along. Are you reading the script?"
Sun is far away, Sun Henyou is cold and cold
David Hartnett asked Xiao Yunhai to sit on the sofa and said, "I'm watching a suspense TV series. Mr. Xiao, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I just wanted to ask if you have a schedule. I'm going to shoot a pure American diàn ying."
When Melinda, who was about to leave, heard Xiao Yunhai's words, she stopped and replied, "Mr. Xiao, David won't be available until the end of September."
Xiao Yunhai snorted and said, "It's not too late. Because I don't know when I can start filming."
David Hartnett asked, "Mr. Xiao, what are you going to shoot?"
Xiao Yunhai's status in the global diàn ying world is not second-to-none, and the box office of recent diàn ying films is not less than 10 billion US dollars.
After the feud, the back ball took the lonely Sun Shuji
If you want to say who is the director who attracts the most actors, at least nine of ten people will choose Xiao Yunhai.
"I wrote a screenplay for an art film called Forrest Gump. The actor in it, Forrest Gump, I think your acting is quite suitable." Xiao Yunhai said with a smile.
David Hartnett was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Xiao, you are planning to shoot an art film. This is unbelievable."
Melinda next to her was also very surprised.
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "The art film has been shot, and the box office will still not be lower than that of a commercial film. This Forrest Gump, I have enough confidence to take the world by storm. There will be no shortage of box office and trophies."
When David Hartnett heard Xiao Yunhai's words, his face showed a hint of happiness, and said, "Mr. Xiao, if you believe me, can I read the script?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Of course. I guarantee you will like this very charming character."
Coming to the computer at David Hartnett's desk, Xiao Yunhai opened the script in the mailbox, printed it out, and gave it to David Hartnett.
While David Hartnett was concentrating on reading the script, Xiao Yunhai, who was idle and bored, also read the TV drama script on his desk.
An hour later, David Hartnett stood up and said excitedly, "Mr. Xiao, I took this play. I beg you, you must give me this role."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "What do you think of this script?"
Without a second thought, David Hartnett replied, "Perfect. Any script I've ever seen has to be perfect."
Xiao Yunhai said: "It's not easy to play Forrest Gump. The first thing is weight. You can play Forrest Gump as he was now, but if you want to play his youth, you have to subtract at least ten Five to twenty pounds."
With a determined look, David Hartnett said: "There is no problem. For this role, I can definitely do it. Mr. Xiao, do you know that I have a strong feeling that missing Forrest Gump will be my whole life. My biggest regret. After September, I will not take any more jobs and wait patiently for your news."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Okay. Let the script stay with you. When it's all right, you can try to figure it out and don't lose it. By the way, although I only read a quarter of your script. One, but I'm almost 100% sure that this is a bad movie. No one will watch it when it's made. I don't think you need to waste your time in front of you."
David Hartnett said: "I also think it's normal, just idle and bored, just take a look."
Xiao Yunhai smiled, got up and said, "Okay, the Forrest Gump story is settled. This is the first time the two of us have cooperated, and we must give the world a big surprise."
David Hartnett said smugly, "I'm sure it will."
The two embraced, and Xiao Yunhai left David's personal studio.
Looking at Qi chē who was slowly leaving, Melinda asked, "David, are you really going to star in Forrest Gump? Don't forget, this is the first time for Mr. Xiao to shoot an art film."
David Hartnett said seriously: "Melinda, for the role of Forrest Gump, even if I don't pay me a penny, I will play it. This is the best role I have ever seen, no
one. "
After staying in Los Angeles for two days, Xiao Yunhai flew back to New York on his own plane.
When he came out of the airport, Xiao Yunhai turned on his mobile phone. Good guy, there were more than 200 missed calls in two days. A small number of them knew each other, but most of them were not. They should all be the bosses of telecommunications companies. .
Xiao Yunhai secretly said: "It's fortunate that I didn't turn it on, or else these diàn huà alone would annoy him to death."
