Movie tycoon

Chapter 692 Ambition
The movie is finished and shooting is about to start.

Everyone was very excited on this day.

Whether it is the director Xu Ke or all the actors, they are all ready to work hard at this last moment, try to go through it, and shoot their roles well.

This scene is a very important scene in the play. The first confrontation between the three characters took place in the shopping mall.Of course, it was not a chance encounter, but a scene after chasing to the mall.

"Tang Zai, wait a minute, come over there with a gun in your hand!" Xu Ke made a gesture of holding the gun, and then turned to look at Madonna: "Madonna, you are the same as Tang Zai, but from another direction come over!"

"Mike, don't be too nervous in this scene, just relax a little!" Xu Ke looked at Mike Jackson and smiled. After getting in touch with him these days, Xu Ke has already fallen in love with the King of Pop, not to mention that King Mike always invites him After eating, Monster Xu was almost embarrassed, "You come from three directions, don't deliberately maintain your directions, but you must pay attention to your posture!"

After explaining a few words, the three of Chen Xiaotang nodded repeatedly. In fact, the director probably didn't know exactly what he wanted before shooting.Therefore, in many cases, actors are required to present different things to the performance and make choices for the director.However, maybe Xu Keqian likes to play guest roles in the play. For example, in "Best Partner", he played a very good mental patient. will perform.

Chen Xiaotang exchanged glances with Mike and Madonna, each came to their own positions, glanced at the surrounding cameras, and immediately guessed that this was a panoramic shot, and wanted to put the positions of the three of them, including himself, under the camera.

Looking at the shopping mall, there are quite a few ghosts around him, Chen Xiaotang smiled slightly, closed his eyes a little, took a deep breath, as if he immediately transformed into the male protagonist he had studied for a long time!With a loud shout, it began!

Everyone at the scene started to move, and Chen Xiaotang walked towards Madonna in a leisurely manner among the crowd.He originally wanted to look left and right to convey the idea that he was following Mike, but after another thought, in order to show more confidence and sensitivity, he did not make any movements of looking left and right, but always walked quietly forward with easy steps!

Madonna played the role of the female assassin who assisted Chen Xiaotang, and she nodded slightly towards Chen Xiaotang, indicating that she already knew what he was doing.

At this time, Mike in the camera is carrying a guitar box with weapons, and comes down from the elevator in the mall.

Mike saw Chen Xiaotang and Madonna who were meeting, he frowned...

"CUT!" Chang Ji yelled quickly, his eyes cast on director Xu Ke's face.Xu Ke's expression didn't change, he just frowned and thought about it, and finally shouted to everyone: "OK, next shot!"

The key point of the shopping mall scene is the scene where the three of them meet. Other scenes can be passed at once, but this scene is absolutely difficult to do.After shooting several times in a row, Xu Ke had a solid state seizure and couldn't help but roar: "What kind of plane are you doing, how did you act just now..."

Chen Xiaotang hastily patted Mike and Madonna on the shoulders, so as not to upset the couple.Mike and Madonna couldn't help but rolled their eyes. During this period of time, everyone has become familiar with each other. They have long been familiar with Mr. Xu's "strange temper", and it is time to practice concentration.

Roaring and roaring, seeing the three people coming in front of him, Old Freak Xu stopped his voice, glanced at Mike angrily, and made a gesture: "Mike, I said, don't be too nervous, your role is never Don't be nervous about anything, don't act too hard, just relax!"

Mike smiled wryly all of a sudden, God, how could it be that easy; besides, this shot is too particular, it's stance, close-up of the face, and the pose of holding a gun!
After contemplating for a moment, Heavenly King Mike made various movements and gestures again and again while Mr. Xu was teaching opera to the other two.Relaxed, walked slowly for a few steps, while swinging his arms, the guitar case opened, and a long gun was held in his hand...

For another performance, Chen Xiaotang smiled and patted Mike on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, Mike, it's the last scene, you just need to put yourself into it!"

"SHIT! To put it lightly, if I am as good at acting as you are, then I don't have to worry about anything!" Mike muttered, but was heard by Madonna next to him, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Dear Mike, I can't think You also have times when you envy others... But my dear Chen is right, you have to be serious about acting, and you can't be too serious, as long as you put yourself into it, then you are another person!"

Heavenly King Mike nodded helplessly. He is absolutely super strong in singing, and no one dares to admit that he is the second; but in terms of acting, he thinks he is not as good as Chen Xiaotang, especially not as swaying as Chen Xiaotang.

After filming these days, Tian Wang Mike also has some understanding of acting.In his eyes, there are two ways to act in movies. The first is to completely substitute for the role by himself. This type is mostly suitable for newcomers like him, or those who are not strong in acting.The second category is a guy like Chen Xiaotang who is full of drama. He doesn't need to take on the role, but can imprint his personal style on the role by showing off his acting skills.

Playing with such a strong man, how can Mike not feel inferior?Regardless of his status as the king of heaven, but always being rejected by N, just saying that the gap in performance is enough to embarrass Mike!As far as his acting skills are concerned, if he doesn't give full play to his acting skills, he might be completely outmatched!
When they came to the location, the field recorder asked the camera, the radio operator, and the track laying personnel, etc., and saw that they were all ready, and then shouted loudly: "ACTION!"

At this moment, Mike decided to substitute in, not to be laughed at by Lafite Chen as useless, he is the king of Hollywood!

Thinking of this, the wry smile on Mike's face disappeared without a trace, replaced by confidence and cheerfulness on his face.

Yes, I will definitely be able to act well!
The camera moves on a track.

Chen Xiaotang, Madonna, and Michael Jackson buried their seats respectively.

In the camera, after Chen Xiaotang and Madonna meet, they move towards Mike.

There is a rush of people, and the camera looks very busy.

On the horizontal elevator of the store, Mike found the two people who were following him. The corner of his mouth curled up. The moment he got off the elevator, he jumped up suddenly, and the whole person slanted down the elevator handrail.With a wave of his hand while gliding, the guitar box was opened, and a long gun was in his hand...

The camera changed, and the male protagonist played by Chen Xiaotang raised his right hand slightly, revealing the black muzzle of the gun.He just saw a crowd of people rushing past in front of him, so he couldn't help lowering his gun, but after the crowd of people in front of him passed by, a figure descended from the sky... To be precise, he slid down the elevator, the man with the gun Stand in front of him!

The camera cuts, and Madonna, who meets Chen Xiaotang, also draws her gun suddenly...

The situation of confrontation is thus formed.

The camera was still sliding, and the director behind Xu Ke was sweating nervously, looking at the camera without blinking.

Also as nervous as him are the photographer, field recorder and others.

Everyone was very tired and worked hard, and they all wanted to call it a day and go home.Although the United States has a serious film union to protect the rights and interests of the staff and prohibit unlimited overtime work, but when it comes to filming, who can control so much.

In the camera, Michael, the king of heaven, is holding a long gun and pointing the gun at Chen Xiaotang, while Madonna's gun is pointed at Mike's head.

Chen Xiaotang looked at the muzzle pointing at himself, as if nothing had happened.

There was a burst of screams around, and they fled in all directions.

Against the background of movement and stillness, panic and composure, all this presents a wonderful and indescribable atmosphere!No lines, no dialogue, not even action, but still very subtle!

close-up.

Zoom in on Mike's muzzle, and a bullet shoots out!

Then I saw Chen Xiaotang bent over, the classic Iron Horse Bridge... The bullet passed through the tip of his nose, and shot!
Yes, this scene is similar to Keanu Reeves dodging bullets in the previous "The Matrix", except that Reeves dodged rows of bullets, while Chen Xiaotang dodged a single bullet at close range.

close-up:

Mike's expression was unbelievable.

Madonna's expression was as expected.

Chen Xiaotang stood up, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled slightly.

At this moment, director Xu Ke jumped up happily and shouted: "CUT! That's great, this is what I want, you guys did a great job, very good!" Director Xu Ke shouted loudly.

When everyone around heard the director calling CUT, they all became happy and cheered. The ghosts are also human, so there was inevitably a lot of noise.

Chen Xiaotang, Mike, and Madonna were also very happy. After all, this film has condensed a lot of their hard work, and it was definitely worth celebrating for the successful completion of the filming.

So, Mike suggested, "Let's go to hello tonight, Rafi, don't say no!"

Chen Xiaotang laughed, "As long as you treat me, I will not refuse anyone!"

Mike raised his middle finger and spoke jerky Chinese: "Pick!"

……

Hollywood definitely has the most bars and nightclubs in the world.The most famous of them is the "Beverly Bar Street" where rich stars live.

The Beverly Bar Street is located near the Beverly Villas. It is the favorite place for big stars to gather, and it is also the most expensive gold-selling cave in Hollywood.

Walking near the bar street, the atmosphere is completely different from other places in Los Angeles. This small road paved with cobblestones is full of European atmosphere, and there are many bars and restaurants on both sides.Most bars are open from noon until [-]am or later.British and Australian bars, and Japanese karaoke lounges all serve snacks throughout the day.When the night falls, many wealthy Americans and stars of the entertainment industry like to gather here, which adds another unique and high-consumption atmosphere to this street.

Coming here, the king of heaven, Mike, seemed to know the way, and naturally introduced Chen Xiaotang and Madonna to a high-end bar called "Blue Earl".Seeing how he is getting acquainted with the manager inside, one can't help but wonder if he often comes here to have fun, although he keeps saying: "As the king of pop, I am so busy that I don't even have time to go to the toilet!"

"Hey, dear, take out the good wine I've stored, I want to have a good drink with my friends!" Mike sat down on the sofa and greeted the blonde waitress.

"Dear Chen, wait a moment and try my wine. I bought it at a high price. I heard that it is something from the cellar of the Duke of Windsor in England. It costs [-] US dollars a bottle!" Mike said proudly.

Chen Xiaotang smiled, "Unexpectedly, you also know how to drink."

Madonna laughed and said to Mike: "What does he know, he only knows how to buy expensive things, and he doesn't know if he's being slaughtered!"

Mike retorted: "What, isn't the most expensive one the best? For a person like me, of course the more money you spend, the happier you will be!"

Chen Xiaotang couldn't help smiling, Hollywood luxury has been popular for a long time, those big stars often spend exorbitant prices on sports cars and famous wines, extravagantly, and spend money like water, thinking that this is exciting enough to show their special status.In fact, this approach makes many celebrities look extremely rich, but in fact the economic crisis is behind.For example, the current Mike, known as the most profitable person in Hollywood, earns hundreds of millions of dollars in a single year, but the extent of his consumption is even more astonishing. If he earns [-] million, he can spend [-] million. If he has no money, he signs a contract with a record company. Pay his deposit directly and let him continue to splurge.It is precisely because of this that when Mike passed away in his previous life, he was heavily in debt, and even his favorite castle had to be sold to pay off the debt.

Thinking of what will happen to Mike in the future, Chen Xiaotang sighs. Suddenly, he has a wonderful idea.

So Chen Xiaotang said to Mike and Madonna: "In fact, spending money is also an art, and it also requires skills...Give you a lot of money, how to spend it, whether it is well spent, whether it is good or not, there is knowledge in it... "

Sure enough, these words immediately attracted Mike and Madonna, the king and queen.

"Oh, Chen, so according to you, spending money is also learned?" Mike couldn't help but said.

"Of course, for example, if you spend one dollar, you can earn ten dollars. This is how to spend money, and spend it well!"

"You can still make money by spending money?" Mike hadn't figured it out yet, and Madonna said, "Chen, do you mean investing?"

Mike suddenly laughed and said, "I thought it was something, isn't it just investing in stock futures? This kind of stuff can be handed over to those damn Wall Street brokers, and we don't need to worry about it."

"No, you are wrong." Chen Xiaotang said suddenly, "That kind of investment is a lazy man's investment. You are completely unfamiliar with that industry. Everything is based on your trust in the broker. If your broker is very good, Needless to say, your investment will definitely return, but what if he fools you?"

"Food me?" Mike was stunned, "No way, are they that bad?"

Chen Xiaotang couldn't help laughing and said: "It's not bad, but for life..."

Life needs, life forces.

Many investment brokers on Wall Street rely on their three-inch tongue to get work. A guy like Mike, or a water fish, is the easiest to catch. He doesn't like to worry about, and he doesn't like to meddle in accounting matters. Don't follow him. It would be too sorry for myself to shave oil.

Mike is not an idiot. After listening to Chen Xiaotang's words, he somewhat understands why he was told "investment failure" by his broker before, and he had to continue to put money into it, like a bottomless pit, which can't be filled... As for the profit? It seems that there is still at the beginning, and then it keeps losing money...

"Chen, tell me, what tricks do you have, at least it will make me smarter and spend the money smarter..." Mike knocked on the $[-] red wine, "You don't have to be like this, just drink it It's all gone!"

What Chen Xiaotang was waiting for was Mike's words, so he sorted out all his thoughts, and then said that he was going to start a music production company in Hollywood.

Chen Xiaotang's idea is very simple, it's better to be familiar with it than a raw one, not to mention that Mike and Madonna are among the top figures in the Hollywood music scene today, instead of letting these two golden chickens who can lay eggs sign contracts with other companies to release records, it is better to unite and start a company , I worked for myself and earned all the money I should earn.

Like Madonna, Mike was a little surprised that Chen Xiaotang was so confident in investing in music, and said: "Chen, I didn't hit you. The music industry is very deep. It's completely different from making movies. In terms of movie making, you only need to finish the movie. Then you can play it in major theaters. As for music, there are many aspects such as recording, mixing, post-production, advertising, and sales channels. Nowadays, the music market in Hollywood is basically dominated by several big music companies. For example, the Sony company I work for occupies most of the North American market. They have their own production team, and more importantly, they have their own sales channels. There are many good singers who have recorded albums but have no place to sell them. , the result can only be with the end."

Who said that the king of heaven, Mike, only knows how to concentrate on singing, look, he still has a good understanding of the internal structure and operation of the music company!
Chen Xiaotang smiled slightly, and said confidently: "You don't have to worry about this. If you have any impressions, you should remember that I released an album in the North American market, and the sales were not bad, and the team that helped produce it is my shadow. Entertainment company...Of course, compared to a big company like Sony, my company obviously still has a lot of shortcomings, but we can be bolder..." Chen Xiaotang's eyes were burning, originally he planned to recruit Michaela to dig Japan Sony's corner, but immediately he had a bolder idea. "Instead of competing with others, it's better to do it once and for all, and enjoy it..."

Chen Xiaotang's series of idioms confused Mike and Madonna.

"Dear Chen, what do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is..." Chen Xiaotang paused for a moment, and then said, "...acquire Sony!"

This sentence is absolutely earth-shattering!
"Buy Sony? God, that's impossible!" Mike yelled. "How could Sony be bought?"

Chen Xiaotang smiled, "Fox can be taken by me, let alone this Sony?!"

Mike was blocked by Chen Xiaotang's words.

Madonna's eyes widened again.
