After hearing Xia Tian’s idea, Millhouse was amazed, "Mr. Xia, these are all great stories. If it is made into a movie, it will definitely be a big shot."

He is actually not a waste. He has the ability to distinguish good movies and bad movies. Especially good movies like "Rain Man", "Drainer", and "Die Hard", he can tell the good or bad at once.

"So we have to figure out in advance whether anyone has similar ideas to avoid crashing a car." Xia Tian nodded, "Otherwise, we finally took photos and ended up being consistent with others'. Wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

"You're right, then I'll go and inquire immediately." Millhouse nodded repeatedly. After Xia Tian said this, he thought it would be better to be cautious.

In the film industry, it is not uncommon to crash the subject matter and content. After all, there are so many structures, excitement, theme and elements of movies. Hollywood produces so many movies every year, and it is not uncommon for a few movies to be similar occasionally.

But once a movie really crashes, it will be even worse than a celebrity wearing the same clothes. At most, it is just embarrassing. However, if a movie crashes, it may lead to lawsuits, resulting in the movie being banned from being released, and it will also lead to the industry's cold eyes, embarrassment and money loss.

Therefore, in order to avoid this result, conducting a survey in advance is a good solution. As one of the six major Hollywood giants, Columbia Pictures has a lot of eyes and ears in the circle, and it is definitely not difficult to inquire about the industry's dynamics.

"Then please." Xia Tian smiled.

...

After Millhouse left, Summer began to think about the new script.

He did not put all his hopes on those screenwriters, because even if those screenwriters write the story well and fit it well, it would take at least two or three months to make a movie.

But there is not so much time to wait in summer. Columbia Pictures must take action during this Christmas schedule. Otherwise, it will miss this golden schedule.

Moreover, if a film company does not release a new film, it will be quickly forgotten by the audience. Because most of the audience is fond of the new and old, and there are so many Hollywood film companies. If they do not perform positively and eye-catchingly, they will soon be "into everyone".

But now there are only twenty-three days left before the Christmas period. Which movie can I make in such a short time?!

Xia Tian scratched his head hard and thought hard. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he thought of an excellent movie - "Sniper Telephone Booth".

The movie "Sniper Phone Booth" is starring the well-known movie star Colin Farrell. The production cost is only 10 million US dollars, but it has a box office of 43 million US dollars in North America, and the global box office is as high as 93 million US dollars. It is a very good blockbuster film.

More importantly, the filming time of this movie took only twelve days, which is really a model of small cost, fast production and big rewards.

When Xia Tian thought of this movie, he clapped his hands excitedly, "Okay, let's shoot this one."

He immediately called Long Mayer, "Mr. Mayer, come to my office."

After listening to Xia Tian's instructions, Long Mayer couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Logically speaking, he is the company's CEO, and the most powerful person except the chairman, who is responsible for managing the entire operation of the company.

But now the performance of the chief art officer in Xia Tian seems to be the company's top supervisor. Even the CEO of himself has to obey his instructions. This is really wrong.

Although Long Mayer is very grateful to Xia Tian for introducing him to Columbia Pictures and recommending him to become CEO, he is still very unhappy and was pushed by Xia Tian.

However, when he was about to show up with Xia Tian, ​​he heard a beep sound from the other side of the phone. It turned out that after Xia Tian finished giving the order, he had hung up the phone and had no time to speak.

"I have to talk to him clearly. I am the CEO of the company and the whole company should listen to me." Long Mayer couldn't help but take a photo and said.

...

"Mr. Mayer, I know you have a wide connection in Hollywood, know many celebrities and directors. Now I want to ask you to recommend a famous, acting, but cheap actor for me, and I also want to recommend a director who is good at making suspense thrillers." As soon as Long Mayer entered the office, Xia Tian asked urgently.

In Hollywood, selecting actors is a troublesome. There are no million actors who make a living in Hollywood, and there are five hundred thousand. It is not easy to choose the right person for this movie.

Many films may spend several months or even one or two years selecting actors before filming. Because a movie invests tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, it is more expensive than opening a factory or building a building. The importance of actors to movies is incomparable, so they must be perfect.

But summer doesn't last that long, and interviews and auditions over and over again, so he can only rely on recommendations and then select the best one from them. This method is simple and fast. Although the selected actors may not be the most suitable one, it will not be much worse.

"Wait, Mr. Xia, I want to explain it to you first..." Long Mayer was stunned and waved his hand. He doesn't want to talk about work now, he wants to talk about his status first.

"If you have anything to do, I'll talk about it later." Xia Tian waved his big hand and then kept talking, "I want you to find a male actor, be famous and have acting skills, and you can't be too old, about thirty years old.

Find another voice actor with magnetic voice but a hint of evil spirit. The appearance is not important or acting is not important. The key is that the voice must sound good and a hint of evil spirit.

Find another actor with excellent acting skills. It doesn’t matter whether he has fame or not. It’s best not to be too old. It’s just about thirty or forty years old. Also, find two beauties, who are around twenties or thirty years old, and have certain acting skills…”

"..." Long Mayer was suppressed by Xia Tian's momentum and could not find a chance to speak.

After Xia Tian finished speaking, he had the opportunity to speak, "Mr. Xia, I have something I have to talk to you now!" His tone was very solemn.

"Okay, tell me." Xia Tian was stunned when he saw this, then nodded, "What do you want to talk to me?"

In fact, he now doesn't want to talk about anything except work. Revitalizing Columbia Pictures and taking it out of the quagmire was his first priority. However, seeing that Long Mayer was so serious, Xia Tian had to take a few minutes to deal with him.

"Mr. Xia, I want to make it clear to you that I am the CEO of this company, and everyone should listen to me. Don't think that you brought me into the company, and you recommended me to be CEO, and you thought you were kind to me and you would be above me." Long Mayer said seriously and seriously, "Although at the private level, I am very grateful for your support. But at the company level, I still hope you can respect me."

After hearing this, Xia Tian couldn't help laughing.

Ron Meyer is now like Don Quixote, treating the windmill as a giant to charge, but unfortunately he found the wrong target and stabbed the wrong target.

"Mr. Xia, why are you laughing? What's so funny about this? I'm very serious about talking about this topic with you." Long Meyer suddenly felt humiliated when he saw Xia Tian laughing constantly, which made him roar with a thick neck.

"Okay, I won't laugh anymore. But I can't explain this for a while. Let's do this. I'll treat you to dinner tonight and talk to you slowly." Xia Tian waved his hand.

"What can't be said clearly?" Long Mayer felt confused. "Well, then we'll see you tonight."

"Well, but I just told you the actors, please help me find them as soon as possible, I will be of great use." Xia Tian said again.

Long Mayer was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded.

No matter how he and Xia Tian compete for power and profit, it will not harm the interests of the company. Otherwise, he, the CEO, would have to end up being the end.

After Long Mayer left, Xia Tian smiled, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with him doing this.

If it is put in Hong Kong, Long Mayer's approach is described in one word, which is "ungrateful". After all, Xia Tian brought him into the company and recommended him to become CEO. The so-called grace of water will be repaid with a spring of water. Even if Long Mayer does not regard Xia Tian as his benefactor, at least he has to give in to every person.

But this is in the United States. The United States has never paid attention to "repaying gratitude" or something. Otherwise, after the Indians helped the new American immigrants of Mayflower settle down, their tribe would not have been killed.

Everything here is about strength. Even if Long Meyer gets the CEO position, he will think that all this comes from his own strength, not because of Xia Tian's support. So he will not be too grateful to Xia Tian, ​​and naturally he does not want Xia Tian to be above him and gives orders to him.

"Interesting." Xia Tian said to himself.

...

After Long Mayer left, Xia Tian began to write the script of "Sniper Telephone Booth".

He has watched this drama many times in his previous life. Although the specific lines are not clear, he still remembers the general context very clearly, so he writes the script very quickly.

After get off work in the afternoon, I invited Long Mayer to get on the bus in the summer and head to a very famous Western restaurant.

"Mr. Long Mayer, have the actors been found?" Xia Tian asked on the way.

"Looking for it," said Long Meyer. "I think John Travolta is good for the hero you want."

"John Travolta?!" Xia Tian was stunned and immediately thought of the Hollywood star who was famous for "Grease" and "Saturday Night Fanatic".

John Travolta, also known as John Travolta, was once a popular star in the late 1970s. Even the US president invited him to the White House for a banquet. However, after the 1980s, his popularity gradually declined and gradually became a box office poison.

But to be honest, regardless of his acting skills, appearance, or style, he played the male protagonist who usually lies all over the sky and felt that he was the best in the world, but under the threat of death, she burst into tears, fearing death, and was able to stand up and die bravely at the last moment. It was very suitable. Even in summer, he felt that his performance would be even more exquisite than Colin Farrell.

"Well, I think he is not bad either, so let's get him out and talk." Xia Tian nodded and then ordered.
Chapter completed!
