Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 564 Sniper List
Then after a few days of screening and exploration of the resources in hand, Cooper quickly helped Feisal pick out three films that were very worthy of investment.

"With my decades of experience in Hollywood, I can swear on my life that all three films have the potential to win Oscars!" Cooper confidently put the scripts of the three films into Faisal's on the table.

"The first "Change the Script" is also called "The Orchid Thief". This is a very brain-burning script, and the Oscar judges will be very interested in this type. A brilliant book made into a mess. But as far as I know, the director has settled on Spike Jones. He was nominated for an Oscar for Best Director for "Puppet Life", and I think such a script is in his hands Surely there will be beautiful flowers blooming."

Seeing that he didn't respond, Cooper added: "In addition, the actors they have confirmed are all heavyweights, such as Nicolas Cage and Meryl Streep."

"Streep?" Feisal was interested: "I know her, she is a very good actress, and I like the role she plays very much."

Seeing that the boss liked it, Cooper was excited to introduce it.

"Yes, that is a very outstanding actress. I think she should get more attention. And the films she has taken on are all of a high standard. From this point of view, I think everyone should have a positive opinion on this film. more attention."

Feisal nodded, agreeing with his point of view: "This is fine. How much investment do you need?"

Cooper was overjoyed: "It doesn't take a lot,"

"No problem, let someone talk, and make the movie as soon as possible, before it's too late."

"Leave it to me, it will never be too late." Cooper happily took over the task, and he would not let go of this opportunity to broaden his network.In Hollywood, investors are the most popular group of people. Investors like Faisal who only want to win awards and don't even care about the box office are even more popular.His generosity to others should also be used to make the other party owe him a big favor.

"If you like Meryl, I think her other movie is also very worth considering."

"The other one? Do you mean the one that has been made, or the one that hasn't been made yet?" Faisal asked.

"Exactly, half of the filming has been done. This movie is called "The Hours", and it tells the story of three women intertwined. The director Stephen Daldry is a very capable director, and the actor of "The Hours" The lineup is also amazing. In addition to Meryl, there are Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore. I have read the script and it definitely has the potential to hit the Oscars!"

Feisal nodded thoughtfully: "Can I invest in a film that has already been half-made?"

"Of course! No one doesn't like additional funding. They have already set a date on December 12, but there are still many unfinished shoots due to funding reasons. Now we join in, and it will definitely be very popular."

"Hmm." Feisal was moved by what he said: "I'll read the script first, and if I think it's okay, then go ahead and get involved."

Seeing that he didn't directly agree, Cooper felt a little surprised.But now is not the time for him to question the boss, so he continued: "There is another movie, I think it is a heavyweight candidate movie."

His sudden solemn tone made Feisal serious: "Tell me."

"I don't know if you know director Martin Scorsese."

"You mean Martin who directed The Last Bull and Goodfellas?"

"Yes, it's this great director. It's easy to explain if you know it. He has been struggling for many years at the Oscars. From being nominated for the first Oscar for Best Director in 81, he has won three nominations now. Everyone Knowing that his biggest wish is to get a statuette. This time his film is called "Gangs of New York" about a certain period of time. The Oscar reviewers are very fond of this kind of dark film. If there is no accident, I think he will Will get what he's always dreamed of at next year's Oscars."

"Where's the cast?"

"The lineup is very strong, with Daniel Day Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz, all heavyweight star actors. Their acting skills are time-tested, and according to According to my investigation, they all received very rigorous training in this movie. For example, Diaz learned lockpicking skills from a professional thief for a long time, and the other two also went through a lot of intensive training. Training. You know Oscar judges usually have a lot of affection for actors who work that hard."

Feisal waved his hand not very interested: "I don't care about those. The only one I want to defeat is Moran!"

"Yes, of course." Cooper squeezed his palm secretly, feeling a little carried away.He hadn't enjoyed this kind of taste for a long time, and he accidentally fell into the memory of guiding Jiangshan again, forgetting their original purpose.

"I mean, the "Gangs of New York" directed by Martin is really worth considering. It was supposed to be filmed in 1980 and 81. As a result, "Heaven's Gate" failed miserably in that year. It is dangerous to shoot similar genres, so it has been put on hold. It was director Martin who turned it up again because of his obsession with it. I think with his vision and strength, the film he made can definitely impact the Oscars. "

Feisal frowned, acting as if he were thinking.In fact, this is a way to control his subordinates, as if he was very interested in "The Hours" just now but did not agree to invest.For those who do things for themselves, they can be given certain rights, but they cannot be given the right to override themselves.If you let the people below do everything for you, won't the person sitting in the boss' position be emptied?
So now he still hasn't expressed his true inner thoughts, preferring to let his subordinates guess his own thoughts instead of giving an accurate answer.

"This "Gangs of New York" has also started filming?"

"Yes, to be precise, the filming has already been finished, but because of the follow-up funds, they originally set the file for Christmas last year, but it was postponed to Christmas Eve this year."

"Is it really okay? One or two films are stagnated because of funding. If it is a good film, there should be other film production companies investing in it?"

Faisal knew a little about Hollywood.Leaving aside the big production companies, B-level film companies like Phoenix are not among them, and relatively normal small companies usually join forces for production.In this way, they can use each other's resources, and secondly, they can reduce investment risks.
