Entertainment tycoon since 83

Considering that the shooting would start the next day, in order to avoid affecting the film, Huang Ze was relatively restrained. He only scored twice and then went to bed.

When I woke up the next day, I felt refreshed!
I feel much better during filming.

When the filming started, you could see that there was something wrong with the way Jennifer Connelly looked at Sophie Marceau.

amount.

Huang Ze was a little dazed for a moment.

Could it be that I saw it wrong?
Hi!
管她们呢。

Anyway, everyone is in a purely exchange of interests relationship.

You guys can do whatever you want, but it’s better to wait until I finish filming before fighting, then you can hype up the film.

Huang Ze didn't think his thoughts were bad at all.

Compared to some people who sell films at funeral homes, I obviously have a very good moral bottom line.

Well, that’s it!

Putting this matter out of his mind, Huang Ze began to concentrate on preparing for the filming.

After checking the crew's preparation, the filming officially started.

The first scene was shot on a Warner studio.

Filming of Cole, arguably the real protagonist of the film, at home with his mother.

Looking at Haley now, with a rather gentle face and eyes that seemed to tell a story, and then looking at Jennifer Connelly, Huang Ze couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It’s really hard to be a child star!

Who would have thought that an actor who looked like this would become like that when he grew up.

In Huang Ze's heart, he is only slightly more ugly than Macaulay Culkin, the child star in "Home Alone".

I can only say that there are not many people like Jennifer who have a unique charm when they grow up!
"Okay, let's officially start shooting!"

The little boy Cole lives in a fatherless family.

He can only live with his mother.

……

This film has no special effects, no big scenes, and no action scenes.

It was much easier to shoot than Rush Hour 2.

The most important thing is the acting skills of several characters.

As long as they act well enough, everything will go smoothly.

What Huang Ze didn't expect was.

During the filming, someone actually found the scene.

During the break in filming, the script supervisor walked up to Huang Ze and said, "Director, someone is looking for you."

"Who?"

"He said he is also a director." The script supervisor pointed to a place not far away.

Huang Ze looked in the direction of the finger.

Is a fat man.

Well, not that fat, just a little chubby.

He has a beard and his hair is about ten centimeters long. I don't know if it is permed or naturally curly, but it looks like he has a head of curly hair.

Of course, a head of curly hair can't hide his high hairline.

Even though he didn't have a deep impression of this person's face, when Huang Ze saw the other person's appearance, he knew who this person was.

"Peter Jackson." When Huang Ze walked towards him and extended his hand, the fat man shook Huang Ze's hand tightly, introduced himself first, and then said, "Huang, I've heard a lot about you. I like many of your movies."

"I've seen your movies too!" Huang Ze said with a smile, "'The Dead' and 'Angels of Sin'."

Hearing Huang Ze say this, the smile on Peter Jackson's face became even wider.

"I am very honored!"

"You're welcome. What do you want to talk to me about?" Huang Ze asked knowingly.

"If it was a simple matter, you could have said it now."

"If it takes longer, can we chat in the evening? Look, I still have to work later." Huang Ze pointed to the crew members beside him. "I'll treat you in the evening?"

"Okay! Excuse me." Huang Ze waved his hand and went back to his work.

……

night.

Huang Ze and Peter Jackson had a meal at a nearby restaurant.

"Let's get this straight. What do you want from me?"

Huang Ze continued to ask while eating.

"I heard that you have the copyright of the last two books of The Lord of the Rings?"

"Yes!"

"Great!" Peter Jackson smiled excitedly.

"When I was seventeen, I was obsessed with the novel The Lord of the Rings..."

"So?" Huang Ze listened to Fat Peter talking about how much he loved the novel "Lord of the Rings" and how he read it so much that he forgot to eat and sleep. Then he asked, "What does this have to do with you coming to see me?"

"I want to ask, are the film and television adaptation rights of The Lord of the Rings for sale?"

"Haha..." Huang Ze was amused, "How much are you prepared to pay?"

"I said in advance that I spent several million dollars to buy the adaptation rights."

"I can go out."

"I haven't finished yet. In addition, the North American distribution of one of my films will cost tens of millions of dollars, conservatively estimated."

"First of all, are you willing to spend so much money to buy it?"

"Secondly, do you think I spent so much money to buy it just to resell it?"

"Which major film and television company do you think would casually sell the adaptation rights in their hands?"

"..." Peter Jackson, who was quite happy just now, suddenly lost his smile. He seemed to be thinking about something, and then said with difficulty, "Can I ask you something? Now that you have obtained the adaptation rights, are you going to film it yourself?"

“We have to film it.”

“But not necessarily in person.”

The Lord of the Rings is really good.

But this film is too troublesome, and the preparations are so busy that I am dying.

Huang Ze also wants to finish filming "The Sixth Sense" before filming "The Matrix".

If "The Matrix" and "The Lord of the Rings" were to be developed on two fronts at the same time, then I would be doomed. I would need four livers to do it.

It might even affect the quality of the film.

If he had to choose between the two films, Huang Ze would definitely choose "The Matrix" because it can feature Chinese actors.

In The Lord of the Rings, you can choose the characters, but it is really hard to change the race.

It's not more than 20 years later now.

Mermaids, Snow White, and even God can be Hey People.

I can only choose white actors.

What if we wait a few years before filming "The Lord of the Rings"?

It’s not that this movie is bad, but most viewers still go in to watch the scenes.

The fact that it came out a few years later doesn’t mean it isn’t a classic, but it’s definitely not close to the box office of its previous life.

Then you’ll be at a loss!
Huang Ze has no objection if Peter Jackson is willing to complete this major project.

When Fat Peter heard Huang Ze say this, he knew he had a chance, and immediately asked, "Can I be the director?"

"My hometown is New Zealand, the country where Tolkien created The Lord of the Rings."

"Believe me, I will definitely make this film with all my heart!"

"This..." Huang Ze knew that Peter could shoot well, but the other party didn't know! Huang Ze naturally wanted to lower the price, "The few films you shot before were indeed pretty good."

"But it seems that I don't have much experience in shooting large-scale scenes, and The Lord of the Rings..." (End of this chapter)
