    "The other party agreed?" George was overjoyed when he heard the good news from Glenn.

    After deciding to promote James, George planned to take time to go to New York recently.  Anyway, it won¡¯t take long to go back and forth, and I can also stop by to see Natalie. Regarding the script issue of "This Killer Is Not So Cold", George has completely given up. He simply cannot write that kind of script by himself.

    Originally, George did not expect news to come from Luc Besson so soon.  This is also normal. If a company comes to him to make some damn artistic film, his first reaction will definitely not be a quick rejection, but he will feel confused.  Since Lu Bu Besson's debut in the 1980s, his literary and artistic works such as "Metro" and "Blue Sea and Blue Sky" have won him a lot of praise in France. He has even been called the most promising young director among the new generation by domestic film critics.  .  He has frequently appeared at the Caesar Awards in France in recent years. Hollywood commercial films seem to have nothing to do with this director who focuses on domestic films.

    Luc Besson himself also felt that the whole thing was a bit strange.

    He was very surprised when a film company in Los Angeles suddenly contacted him.  In the invitation letter sent by George, he wrote the general plot of the entire movie in it, and sincerely expressed the hope that he could work together to improve the script. He also hinted in the invitation letter that he hoped he could bring his old friends with him.  Reno will star in the film.

    Luc is really confused He doesn't know how this young director named George found him.  Although he also likes to write and direct, this is the first time he has written a script for someone else, and judging from George's words, it seems that he is being invited to try the waters in Hollywood.

    Now Luc is really tempted. Although he is prosperous in France, everyone hopes to have a bigger stage.  After entering the 1990s, the French film industry seemed to have slowly fallen into a strange circle. The continuous prosperity and growth of art films pushed commercial films into an extremely embarrassing state.

    ? One after another, small-scale, romantic art films are very popular in China.  Even some domestic film companies do not dare to spend too much money to invest in commercial films. The result is a very strange phenomenon: domestic audiences, influenced by these literary films, watch them with gusto.  But when these literary films are placed in other countries, the box office revenue is simply appalling.

    American audiences have long formed a consensus about French directors. What these guys produce will definitely win awards and be weak at film festivals, so don¡¯t watch it at the box office.  The income from the video tapes of a few pornographic films will exceed those of these boring films.

    Luc followed the trend in his early years, firstly to realize his childhood dream, and secondly to hone his directing skills. Unexpectedly, several of the films he produced were highly praised by domestic film critics.  This made him excited, but faced with the current situation of the French film industry.  In fact, Luc has always been a little dissatisfied. He has always wanted to explore his potential in the field of commercial films. However, under the current domestic trend, he feels that he has no power to use.

    The invitation from York Film Company made Luc feel a little speechless at first. He is a literary film director. How could this small Hollywood company come to him? Did they take the wrong medicine?

    But after seeing the general framework of the script provided by George, Luc suddenly felt.  This script could really do a lot.  And this could very well be a very good opportunity.  Today's foreign directors in Hollywood are notoriously difficult to get along with, but once they become famous, it is definitely a symbol of strength.  You know, domestic film critics in the United States have always been notoriously picky when it comes to treating foreign directors. If they can conquer these guys.  Wouldn't he be able to firmly establish himself in Hollywood?

    Luc is very envious of the "Terminator 2" directed by Cameron last year, knowing that a director can have so much production cost.  What a glorious thing.  In fact, he has always had a dream in his heart, which is to make a large-cost commercial film.  Now this invitation from George.  Although it has nothing to do with big productions, it is undoubtedly the best time for him to go out of the country and make his voice heard in Hollywood.

    Thinking of this, Luc Besson immediately made a decision and responded positively to the invitation issued by York Film Company. He expressed his willingness to cooperate with George once, but hoped that George would let him direct the film.

    "Yes, he agreed, but this guy wants to take your job" Glenn burped, picking his teeth, and said casually on the phone.

    "Are you kidding? I asked him to help me write the script."?, I didn¡¯t say that I would give him the director¡¯s position¡± George was a little speechless. Why did Mr. Luc climb up the pole? Was the director¡¯s position given to him casually? Although this movie  It was indeed taken by someone else, but now that the fat is on my lips, how can I just throw it away

    "Come on, George" Glenn picked his nose, "I tell you, don't argue with either of you. The movies he makes are boring enough to make you fall asleep, and American audiences don't have that many artistic talents.  As for you guyyou should just keep making your horror movies. I read a few pages of your script. Can the killer have any emotional entanglements with the little girlYou are a lolita control person.  Will you replace the little girl with a hot girl? What the audience wants to see are the thighs, breasts, and butt. Do you understand?"

    "I understand your grandma." George said to the phone with a look of contempt on his face, "Do you have any moral integrity? Don't think of everyone as if they are dissatisfied with their desires. Besides, this movie is not a traditional movie in the first place.  The old Hollywood stereotype of heroes and beauties, if it¡¯s really going to be shot like this, then I might as well ask Madonna to dance in it.¡±

    "We can't afford divas." Glenn clapped his tongue, "But Hollywood has a lot of good-looking women. This is the current American movie culture. Without beauties, how can there be passion? Look at the March release date  That movie "Basic Instinct", I just went for Sharon Stone. As for what the media said about the tense storyline and suspense, I didn't see anything like that at all."

    George was speechless. "Basic Instinct", which was released on March 20 this year, has immediately become the focus of everyone since its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.  This blockbuster, directed by Dutch-born director Paul Verhoeven and starring actor Michael Douglas, grossed US$20 million at the box office in its opening week.  Of course, most people went there not for the actor, but for the large number of nudity and erotic scenes and the passionate and unrestrained erotic performance of heroine Sharon Stone.

    This also fully illustrates one point.  Violence, pornography, and crime are always topics people talk about.  Regardless of whether it can be put on the stage, anyway, with these things in the movie, at least it will not lose badly at the box office, and the pornographic scenes are extraordinarily attractive to male audiences.  If it's not well shot, it's called porn. If it's good, it's called porn. "Basic Instinct" is the best example of turning vulgarity into nobleness and pornography into art.

    This guy was actually placed in the ranks of R-rated movies, which made George feel a little excited.  It seems that the MPAA's review standards have been greatly relaxed recently. The violent scenes in "Love" and the many nudity scenes in "Basic Instinct" can avoid being classified as NC17. It seems that  He is going to make some small articles here.

    "Come onalthough I haven't seen it, but since the audience likes it so much, then this movie must have its own uniqueness. If you just go to see the movie, you can't go to see it anywhere. The collection under your bed  Not enough?" George sneered at Glenn's words.  He really hasn't watched this movie in its entirety.  I have only seen highlights from the promotional video and some hearsay.

    "Remember Susanna" Glenn's voice suddenly turned disdainful.

    "Who? Did you mean Susanna? What happened to her?" George thought for a long time before he remembered who Susanna was. If Glenn hadn't mentioned this woman, he would have forgotten that he had such an ex-girlfriend.

    "Are you really pretending to be stupid with me? I thought you knew" Glenn's voice was a little surprised, "Don't you know? She played a small role in "Basic Instinct""

    "Really? Congratulations to her!" George didn't care much.  This woman has nothing to do with him anymore, but he still hopes that Susanna can go as far as possible on the road of being an actress.  Let's get together and part ways, and curse others for their poor future lives.  It's purely a thankless act.

    "This bitch has a pretty good figure" Glenn's voice was a little angry, "She used to be your woman. Don't you have any feelings when you see her taking off her clothes in front of tens of millions of viewers across the United States?"

    "Take off your clothes?" George was a little confused, "What? Did she play the role of a stripper?"

    "That's about it." Glenn said dissatisfiedly, "This bitch is really crazy. She played a lesbian in it and had Lily in bed with Sharon. When I watched it in the cinema,  The audience next to me is still discussing which of the two women has a bigger butt"

    George: ""

    "Anyway, this girl is a little crazy. She doesn't act well in movies, so she chooses to play this kind of role" Glenn sighed, "I heard from some people in the industry that there is a director who specializes in pornographic films.  She, I hope she can consider some developments in this area"

      "This" George held it in for a long time before saying helplessly, "If you really don't have a future in Hollywood, you might as well consider the pornographic film industry. After all, there are not many good actors in this industry now. If you can really get a job,  If so, there will be great development in the future.¡±

    "Oh my God" Glenn rolled his eyes and whispered into the phone, "Do you really not mind?"

    "Of course I don't mind." George was a little surprised, "Are you looking down on the porn industry? Without this industry, what would you watch every night? And if you can become famous in the United States, your salary will reach hundreds of thousands of dollars in the future.  It's very possible. Actors' salaries in Hollywood have been on a crazy rise recently, and now the U.S. economy is developing rapidly. At this time, the demand for movies of all types will also increase day by day."

    "I'm not fucking discussing the industry trends with you" Glenn was really speechless. This guy is good at everything, but his emotional intelligence is just like a piece of wood. "She's your former girlfriend. You really don't feel anything."  Are you there? I think a single-minded guy like you can't be so calm about emotional issues."

    "It's not a big deal." George shrugged, "We are no different from strangers now. I am still busy with my career and have no time to waste time on relationships. I can only wish her to find her own path.  "

    "Then let me talk too much." Glenn laughed lustfully, "Hehe. Although I have asked you similar questions before, I still want to confirm. I seem to have taken the topic too far, but I still said the same thing,  Neither of you is suitable for this type of movie. Of course, if I had to choose one, I would definitely choose you."

    "Is Mr. Luc's attitude very firm?" George pondered for a moment and said, "Is he willing to give up the position of director and just help me complete this script with peace of mind? If he agrees, future cooperation will definitely not be possible.  Less."

    "This guy seems to like this script very much." Glenn patted his belly. "When I contacted Luc Besson, he said that he could appropriately release his power and leave the task of selecting actors to us.  You can work with him as the producer of this film and have most of the power in the filming process. He is willing to negotiate with you."

    "This" George thought about it carefully and immediately guessed Luc Besson's intention.  Obviously if you want to break into Hollywood, just relying on the name of a screenwriter who collaborates with others is not enough to attract attention.  But if you're a director, it's different.  If a movie is a hit at the box office, the first thing the audience will pay attention to will be the actors in the movie, followed by the director who directed the movie. It seems that Luc Besson is quite confident in himself.  Under such circumstances, he refused to give in at all.  George admired this character very much.  It's good for a man to be strong-willed, but if he acts like a weakling and refuses to fight for his own interests, then he is a fighter among idiots.

    "The director's position can be given to him." George narrowed his eyes, "But can he guarantee that this movie will be better than mine? Although I have no experience in this type of movie, I won't do it easily.  If there is no solid evidence to hand over the directing power to others, how does he want to impress me?"

    "He wants you to give him a week, and he will use a few scenes from the script to shoot a short film of only five minutes. At that time, the short film will be sent to our company, and you will see it in person. It should be done  Have you made your own decision?" Glenn's voice was a little weird, "I can't believe that a director who shoots literary films has such confidence in himself. Does he think that his directing level will be higher than yours? Besides, where can you find actors?  I find him really baffling."

    "There is no need for professional actors." George's eyes lit up. "Five minutes is enough. My focus is not to see the actors in it, but to understand his directing style and lens use techniques through these short few minutes."  , it¡¯s useless to tell you this kind of thing. In short, in movies, it only takes a few shots to tell whether a director is good or bad. It seems that I really have to wait patiently. I hope he won¡¯t disappoint me.  .¡±

    "If he really satisfies you, do you really want to become a producer?" Glenn's voice was a little dissatisfied, "You are the director, why would you give up such a good opportunity to others? I think you are completely  You can do it yourself.¡±

    "That's not important!" George thought for a while, "What's important is that the movie effect must be 100% perfect. I don't have the ability to direct this type of movie yet. If you follow this guy, observe his directing  Method, you may have your own understanding in the future, some things can only be mastered by observing and learning more by others."

    "Forget it, anyway, I think that guy's directing ability is definitely not as good as yours." Glenn muttered, "You decide for yourself, I?I don't like to meddle in so many other things. I'm almost in trouble now.  "

    George had a funny face: "If Mr. Luc has time, you might as well ask him to come to Los Angeles. Some things are better to be discussed in person. We always talk on the phone. It is inevitable that some things will not be explained clearly."

    "Okay!" Glenn snapped his fingers, "I will inform him. I hope he can come over as soon as possible. Then we will arrange for the two of you to talk alone. I will not participate. Ashley, that woman, is currently in Los Angeles.  If you leave, I won¡¯t even be able to go home. We¡¯ll talk about it later. I won¡¯t go to the company today. If anything happens to the company, just help me solve it.¡±

    After hanging up the phone, George touched his chin. He was full of expectations for what kind of short film Luc Besson would bring him.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Mr. Luc, nice to meet you!"

    Looking at the middle-aged man with deep eyes in front of him, George still maintained the greatest respect. It was rare for Luc Besson to be so sincere. Although it took nearly ten days to shoot the short film, which was a little later than expected, he deliberately started from  France went to Los Angeles, which is enough to show the sincerity of the other party towards the film.

    "Nice to meet you, Mr. George." Luc stretched out his hand to George. He was also very interested in George. Of course, Luc had seen George's appearance in the newspaper. He was interested in this man who was younger than himself, and even  Some directors who are too young are naturally curious.

    In the directing industry, most of the so-called young newcomers who can make a name for themselves are actually around 30 years old.  It is indeed quite extraordinary for George to become famous in his early 20s and only one year after his debut.

    "I hope the work you brought today can impress me." George didn't want to be too polite. We are all directors, so we all know whether the filming is good or not. Those beautiful words are just to fool laymen. I believe if George pointed out the short film  Not only would Luc Besson not be angry at his shortcomings, but he would look at him even more highly.

    "Before that, can I make an invitation?" Luc looked at George carefully, with an unknown meaning in his eyes.

    "Oh? What kind of invitation is it?" George glanced at Luc curiously. Is he going to invite himself to make a literary film That is absolutely impossible Thinking about it makes people's scalp numb.

    "If I am lucky enough to get the right to direct this movie, I wonder if I can invite you, Mr. George, to play a supporting role in this movie?" Luc's words instantly made George open his mouth.

    "Me? Playing a supporting role?" George pointed to his nose with a puzzled look on his face.
