Chapter 214 I Have a Movie(1/2)
In a fine restaurant in Paris, France.
Alex looked up at the surroundings. In the dark environment, the lights on each table were so dazzling, like little stars falling on the earth at night. Each table was an isolated island, and the atmosphere specially created allowed the people on this island to focus their attention on the people around them, and there was an invisible thing that closely connected the people at the deskmate.
Soon, he focused his attention on Brigitte. Today, Brigitte was not as trendy as she had when she first met. She was a pure white shirt and dark skirt, and a few simple pieces of jewelry, which immediately highlighted her proud figure and innocent face.
Brigitte, who dressed up simply, changed her mature and sexy image before, revealing her side like a girl next door.
It can be said that women can become as they feel as they need to give people.
Even if she was still "yinwa" and "dangfu" the moment before, the next second she would be like a chastity saint, making men crazy. Such women know men's thoughts better than other women. They can dress themselves up according to men's ideas, and their image in front of people can be changed at any time.
When they first arrived, Nick was busy making calls. The place was quite high-end and there was a phone on each table. This made it convenient for those in need to make or answer calls at any time outside.
"That's what I said, I know, I'm going to hang up first." Nick said anxiously to the person on the other end of the phone: "I have another important thing here, I'll talk to you when I go back."
After saying that, Alex and Morris happened to come to them and stood there. The waiter whispered a few words before saying goodbye. It was nothing more than some polite words in the manners of receiving guests.
"Hello, Brigitte and Nick, I'm sorry, there was a bit of a traffic jam when we arrived."
Morris was lying. They had no traffic jams just now. In fact, they arrived at the hotel very on time. But they didn't expect Brigitte and Nick to arrive early, so he said this casually.
Alex, who was standing by, looked at Brigitte with a smile, then followed Morris to the opposite side of them. He pulled a white cloth towel from the table and spread it in front of him so that he would not get dirty while eating.
"Haha, it's okay, in order to wait for our heartthrob, Alex, my Brigitte can keep waiting."
Hearing Nick's jokes, Alex Zhanyan smiled at Brigitte. But he didn't say anything.
The other party did not give Morris time to speak, and immediately continued, "When I met Brigitte, she was still a little girl, but she didn't expect to grow up all of a sudden. Alas, time passes very quickly."
"Oh? Did you know Brigitte very early?"
Morris followed the other party's words and heard that Nick and Brigitte had a relative relationship. I don't know if it was true.
"Yes, speaking of it, I am still Grace's cousin! When Grace wanted to make a movie, but her family didn't allow it, she ran out. Fortunately, she still remembers that she is my uncle. Otherwise, we wouldn't have sat here."
Nick said, revealing a look of memories. After another contact, Alex finally felt that Nick was a little different from others, that is, his tone and movements were a bit sissy.
"Uncle Nick! Don't say it anymore, people won't be interested in our past!"
When Brigitte spoke, she still looked like a girl. She couldn't tell that she had married once and finally divorced. If she told others that she was underage, no one would have doubted it.
"No, I insist on making it clear so as not to misunderstand outsiders!" Nick kept relentlessly and talked about the past.
It turns out that Nick and Hua Ting know each other. They are both in the film industry and are both French. Of course, they have a deep relationship. Under his description, Hua Ting is simply a weird uncle who cheats people and eats candy, cheating Brigitte. At that time, Brigitte was underage, and she was already confused by Hua Ting and vowed to marry Hua Ting.
"Oh, do you think Huating is a man? Bah, he is just a jealous guy who can't look down on beautiful girls."
"Okay, Uncle Nick, the more you talk..."
Brigitte, who was flushed, quickly stopped Nick from continuing to say. She looked at Alex awkwardly and said softly: "Don't listen to his nonsense. Huating is actually very good and takes good care of me."
"Brigie is the best actress I've ever met, and there's no doubt about it." Nick boasted about Brigie in front of everyone, saying: "Her acting on the screen is amazing, as if she's born to be like. Not only do I think so, but many people think so."
Speaking of acting skills, Alex took the time to watch the movies Brigitte made, such as "God Creates a Woman", "The Girl in a Bikini", etc. In these movies, Brigitte's dressing style is very bold. At least for people of this era, it is a movie that has broken through many taboos and can have a great impact on conservative social concepts.
But Brigitte basically belongs to the role of a vase, acting, etc. Men don’t see this, but their figure, clothes they see through, etc.
However, for this kind of flowery sedan chair, Alex and the others couldn't jump out and said to Brigitte: "Well, your acting skills still have several problems such as this and that. If it is solved, how good your next movie will be, etc."
In fact, the whole topic was under Nick's control, and soon they talked about DreamWorks movies, Brigitte's recent situation, etc.
"When it comes to DreamWorks, I think there is a movie that is very suitable for Brigitte now. I wonder if you are interested in acting?"
Alex said seriously, and his words made Morris around him stunned. After all, DreamWorks' plan has been formulated now, and it is impossible for a change to be a director or an actor. Unless a new movie is invested, there is really no new position for Brigitte. And this is still the heroine.
Most of DreamWorks movies are known for their excellent production, and even the only movies that are cast for those directors are required to be perfect. Well-made means high requirements for directors and actors. Ordinary vase characters will basically not appear, and they will not appear as heroines in DreamWorks movies.
Brigitte is here to be the heroine? This is a huge investment!
Morris thought to himself: "I asked you to use the unspoken rules, but this is not what it is. At most, you can take out a secondary supporting actress and give you more money. If you ask her to be the heroine, it doesn't matter if you waste the money for filming movies. If you don't do it well, wouldn't you smash your golden signboard?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but kick Alex a few times underground. But the other party hadn't responded, so he simply kicked hard.
"Ouch!"
Nick suddenly screamed, surprised everyone, not knowing what was going on. Just as they focused their attention on Nick's face, the other party already knew who kicked him, and he threw a charming look at Morris.
"What's wrong?" asked Brigitte with concern.
"It's okay. A big mosquito bit me just now. Just wait until I go back and wipe it with the medicine!"
Big mosquito?
There are mosquitoes in this place?
Everyone was skeptical, but they didn't know whether it was true or not. But soon Morris knew what was going on, because he was also "bitten" and Nick kicked him under the table, as if he was hinting something.
When he thought of the wrong person he mentioned just now and kicked Nick, he felt his anus tightening and quickly lowered his head to eat.
Alex looked at them inexplicably, not knowing what Morris and Nick were doing, and continued: "Yes, this movie was confirmed not long ago. It tells the story of an astronaut who encountered an accident in outer space and then went to a strange planet. On that planet, he met a beautiful heroine. At the same time, he also discovered a dangerous creature on this planet. In order to survive, they had to work hard together..."
"So, is this a science fiction film? Astronaut! Oh my God, if you think about it, it will make people feel very interesting and will definitely be exciting!"
Before Nick finished listening, he said loudly, looking like he was very satisfied with the film. Not only him, but Brigitte and Morris were also attracted by the plot described by Alex.
What is the hottest topic of this era?
That’s right, it’s rocket satellites and astronauts! The competition between the United States and the Soviet Union in the aerospace field has not only influenced the government departments, but also a huge impact among ordinary people. Various science fiction themes revolve around space. Novels, comics, movies, etc. ushered in a blowout during this period, and a large number of cosmic stories appeared one after another.
"However, it must cost a lot of money to shoot such a movie!"
Brigitte asked curiously that she was not worried about Alex talking nonsense, but wanted to know how much this kind of movie cost. When she mentioned it to others in the future, she could also tell her how many investment movies she had made.
"Well, I think I have to spend $5 million!"
Alex casually said a number, but he didn't know how much it would cost, but being able to spend millions at once to make a movie would be a very high investment.
$5 million!
Just to make a science fiction movie!
I am still the heroine!
Brigitte was already very excited when she thought of this. If it weren't for the table, she might have pounced on Alex now. The movies she used to shoot would only invest hundreds of thousands of dollars at most, and basically no more than millions of dollars in investment.
Unexpectedly, Alex, who had only met once or twice, was so grand that he would give out $5 million at once. If the movie was successfully released, not only would Brigitte's popularity rise a lot, but he might also be able to transform smoothly.
Nick was even worse than Brigitte, and he screamed in a scream: "5 million? Are you serious?"
Even Morris was shocked and suspicious. He didn't know whether Alex was on a whim or was talking nonsense. If he really invested the $5 million, if he didn't plan it carefully, he would have to waste his money if he couldn't make a profit.
"So is there a script?" Nick took the opportunity to ask, "Since I'm sure Brigitte is going to star in this movie, I want to get the script as soon as possible. It's also possible for her to memorize more lines."
Speaking of memorizing lines, Brigitte's face turned red unknown. Everyone who has filmed a movie with her knows that it is the most difficult thing to make Brigitte remember lines. It's no wonder that she is. After all, after having beauty, others will only pay attention to her appearance. As for whether you can remember lines and acting skills, it is not very important.
"Script?" Alex did not hesitate at all, but quickly replied: "The script will be sent to you tomorrow. Please rest assured. We are very efficient in everything, right? Morris!"
Morris immediately lied to Alex: "Of course, we came to Paris to find a suitable heroine. Of course, we will carry the script and other scripts with you."
Brigitte looked at them and asked excitedly: "Where is the male protagonist? Who is the male protagonist!"
"Uh this..."
Morris almost couldn't answer, but fortunately Alex said to him: "The male lead has been confirmed long ago, of course I personally performed it. This is DreamWorks' biggest investment this year. Who else can I play if I don't play it!"
"Yes, yes! Alex has played the male lead, and this is his first time starring in a movie. Well, speaking of it, many people have hoped to see Alex on the silver screen in recent years. I believe that once this news comes out, it will immediately attract the attention of many movie fans."
Morris made this happen vividly, as if they really had a movie that Brigitte and Alex had to act together. But at this point, even if there was no such movie, one would definitely be produced.
If Alex and his team invested $5 million before and asked Brigitte to play the heroine or something, they were a little skeptical. But when they heard that Alex was going to play the hero, they were all shocked. You should know that Alex is not only famous in the movie industry, but even many people who don’t watch movies know that there is such a person.
Alex has often crossed the border and created a lot of things in recent years. Music, novels, movies, TV, comics, technological inventions, aerospace rockets, etc. Every time he enters a field, he can make a big splash. Generally speaking, as long as he sees Alex in a certain industry, everyone will be shocked by what Alex has done.
Now someone tells them that Alex is going to return to the movie industry.
As soon as such news comes out, it will immediately make the front pages of the countries. Brigitte and the others believe in such a reaction, and even the real response will be much more powerful than they imagined.
"That's great!"
Brigitte could no longer help, stood up and sat next to Alex, hugged him tightly, and offered a hot and fragrant kiss.
In such a high-end venue, making such a move quickly attracted the attention of many people.
The hotel waiter had to come and ask the guests what they needed, whether they wanted to order food or something.
This immediately separated Brigitte and Alex and returned to their respective positions. Finally, they had to stop talking, order the items first, and then chat slowly during the meal.
Morris finally finished the meal. After returning to his residence, he asked: "Our DreamWorks plan is very tight, but no one can shoot your science fiction film with an investment of up to 5 million yuan."
Before Alex could speak, he immediately asked, "Where did you get the script for Brigitte and the others tomorrow? Could it be that you will write it overnight now?"
"Of course," Alex shrugged and said, "I've been ready for a long time, you can watch it! Just..."
"Just what?"
Morris asked nervously immediately, fearing that Alex would lose his link at a critical moment.
"But I don't know if I should publish a novel first or make a movie first!" Alex shook his head and said with annoyance: "It's really hard to choose whether to publish a novel or a movie? In other words, after publishing a novel, more people will watch the movies they make. But time is so tight, I'm afraid it's too late!"
Morris smiled: "Don't worry, you can write the script out first!"
That night, Alex sat in front of the typewriter and typed out a script. The script had more than 100 pages and about 100,000 words in total. It took Alex to complete the whole night.
"Oh hey! My hands were sore that I was sore!" Alex couldn't help but complain when he handed the script to Morris.
To be continued...
