Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1886 Young Directors in Hollywood
As Lin Daoqiu expected, Barry Diller called him within a few days and told Lin Daoqiu that he could not cooperate with him for some reason.

But on the phone, Barry Diller still said that if there is an opportunity in the future, he will definitely cooperate with Lin Daoqiu.

But if this is the case, Lin Daoqiu will never take it seriously, because after this time, the relationship between Paramount and MGM may never be repaired.

More than a year ago, Lin Daoqiu met Brad Pitt and arranged him into an acting training class.

After such a long time, Brad Pitt has received sufficient training in the acting training class. Although it is not to say that his acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds all at once, during this period of time, he still got some opportunities for extras and small roles .

Brad Pitt himself didn't know that he had already been selected by Lin Daoqiu as the leading actor of "The Hero".

Now he is working hard for a supporting role in a romantic literary film.

Although during this period of time, Brad Pitt also thought about calling Lin Daoqiu so that the other party would not forget him.

But when he picked up the phone with this thought, Brad Pitt became very hesitant, because he felt that the call didn't seem very good.

After all, he is a young man with strong self-esteem, and he feels that doing this seems to be begging Lin Daoqiu to give him a role.

So Brad Pitt has never called Lin Daoqiu even once, and he even wondered if Lin Daoqiu had forgotten himself.

"bell……"

While Brad Pitt was reading the script, the phone next to him suddenly rang.

Brad Pitt, who reached for the phone, didn't think too much about it. He thought it was someone from the crew who called him.

"Hello……"

"Long time no see Brad, I'm Lin Daoqiu."

Brad Pitt didn't react at first, he thought the name seemed familiar.

But two seconds later, Brad Pitt's eyes suddenly widened.

"Lin... Hello, Mr. Lin."

Brad Pitt spoke with a slight trembling, he never thought that Lin Daoqiu would call him at this time, he even felt that the other party had long forgotten his small role.

Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything on the phone, he just told Brad Pitt to ask him to meet and asked if he had time now.

Of course, Brad Pitt is willing to go to the appointment, he has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

After putting down the phone, Brad Pitt immediately picked up his coat and rushed out of the house.

Half an hour later, he came to the coffee shop he had made an appointment with Lin Daoqiu.

Besides Lin Daoqiu, beside him was someone Brad Pitt didn't know.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to keep you two waiting."

Brad Pitt walked up to Lin Daoqiu and the stranger, and greeted them honestly.

"This is Robert Zemeckis, director of Back to the Future."

After hearing Lin Daoqiu say the other party's name, Brad Pitt was very shocked, because "Back to the Future" is very famous in Hollywood. When it was released in 85, it won a box office of 1000 million and [-] million. .

And it has also achieved a good result of 8000 million US dollars in the world. As the director of this movie, Robert Zemeckis is naturally famous in Hollywood.

"Just call me Robert."

Robert Zemeckis looks very young, and he is only 35 years old at this time.

In his early thirties, he can get a global box office of 8000 million, which can be said to be very good.

This time, Lin Daoqiu recruited Robert Zemeckis to shoot "Wonderman", and naturally it was also because of his excellent performance in "Back to the Future".

Zhang Guoming has been called by Lin Daoqiu to Hollywood to serve as Robert Zemeckis' deputy.

After all, compared with Robert Zemeckis, Zhang Guoming still has a lot to learn in science fiction films. As for the original plan to let Wang Jing direct this film, it has disappeared.

"Sit down and talk slowly."

When Brad Pitt arrived, Lin Daoqiu began to introduce the next movie he was going to shoot with the other party.

""Xenomen" is a movie I tailor-made for you. This is a blockbuster special effects action movie with an estimated investment of 5000 million U.S. dollars."

Lin Daoqiu had already written the plot of "Phenomenon" before. Brad Pitt played the role of a child born to a woman polluted by supernatural powers, who grew up under the protection of supernatural policemen.

Until the power in his body suddenly broke out, Brad Pitt's peaceful life changed drastically.

As a special effects action movie, it is naturally necessary to have a good director, but if only Robert Zemeckis leads the movie, then "Warrior" will definitely not be able to produce the effect Lin Daoqiu wanted.

"For the martial arts director of this play, I have already found a team in Xiangjiang to be responsible for the choreography of the action design. You have to follow their arrangements in terms of action."

Before Lin Daoqiu's rise, foreigners always had a bad problem, that is, the Chinese didn't understand anything in the movies, and they should be in control of everything.

Jackie Chan's "Killer's Trenches" was taken over by the foreign team because all the dominance was taken over, causing Jackie Chan to let them control the film like a marionette, resulting in a very poor final film effect .

It wasn't until Lin Daoqiu's rise that this situation changed, but in most cases, except for Lin Daoqiu, they still looked down upon other Chinese filmmakers.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I know that Xiangjiang's action movies are very good, so I am looking forward to the cooperation with Xiangjiang's action team this time."

Robert Zemeckis was very happy to follow Lin Daoqiu's arrangement, after all, he had seen many movies made by Lin Daoqiu before.

Robert Zemeckis likes the action design and effects in these movies very much. Robert Zemeckis is naturally very happy to be able to cooperate with such a top action team this time.

After all, young people like him are still very receptive to new things. If they were replaced by other older directors, I am afraid they would not be so easy to talk to.

Even if they made a good promise in front of Lin Daoqiu now, they might turn into another face after arriving on the set.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Daoqiu did not go to those big directors, but found Robert Zemeckis, an accomplished and young director, to direct this "Wonderman".
