Chapter 544: Change of Dynasty in Advance

"The days without work are really relaxing." Early in the morning, Luo Quan, who woke up naturally from his sleep, stretched out on the bed, and his mood was not ordinary.

Today is August 29th. Most college students have basically returned to school to prepare for the start of school. And middle school and high school students are probably borrowing summer homework from classmates. Then one night, a pen, and a miracle.

Luo Quan remembers that when he was still in school, most homework during the winter and summer vacations was left to the last day or two. Even though his hands were numb after finishing the homework for several subjects, he still felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and achievement. feel.

But once he saw his teacher stripping away the waste paper from his summer homework, Luo Quan never did it again.

The teacher won’t correct you anyway, so why do you do this?

Now she definitely said that she didn’t need to do any more homework during the winter and summer vacations. Under the video about the upcoming school term on Station B, there were many students who said they hadn’t started writing yet. Luo Quan also laughed and gloated after watching it.

People, sometimes they just like to base their own happiness on the pain of others.

"The Lady Wears Chanel" is still being screened in China and the United States, and its ratings have dropped, but it is still an excellent film.

Now the global box office of the movie has reached 3.2 billion yuan, making it the highest-grossing movie in the world this month. The second-highest box office is "Titanic".

Two months after its release, "Titanic" still has a global box office of more than 1 billion yuan. This strong stamina is also amazing.

It is worth mentioning that "Titanic" broke the box office record in movie history as early as a month ago, and has now accumulated a total box office of 2.8 billion U.S. dollars, which is unprecedented.

As for whether there will be anyone coming later, it is unknown. Maybe the much-anticipated "Lord of the Rings" dream will complete the miracle of overtaking.

However, judging from director Ford's reaction, the quality of "Lord of the Rings 2" is estimated to be inferior to "Titanic".

After all, Director Ford deliberately postponed the release of "Lord of the Rings 2" to 2019 in order to avoid this undefeatable enemy.

As for awards, "Titanic" did not go to the Berlin Film Festival that just ended a while ago.

The main reason is that you can only participate in one of the three major film festivals. Considering that the biennial Venice Film Festival will be coming soon, Director Carnason plans to go to this grand event known as the father of film festivals to receive honors.

That's right, it's the honor he received. Director Ka is so confident in his work.

Of course, the outside world's calls for "Titanic" to win the award are also quite high. After all, the high quality of this movie is obvious to movie fans all over the world.

The two protagonists, Leon and Carillian, are now riding this big ship and have become among the first-class international movie stars.

Both of them had a fairly high fan base before they collaborated, but in comparison Leon is still more well-known, and playing Jack this time also allowed him to successfully complete a crossover and start his own moment in the film festival. First shot.

As for Luo Quan, the older sister, she unknowingly stepped ahead of her younger brother after her own movie was released.

Thanks to her acting skills in "The Lady Wears Chanel", foreign media have begun marketing the news that she is interested in becoming a film actress.

The name of Oscar-winning actress is so famous, of course she will not let it go if she can get it.

However, although her performance as Miranda in this movie was quite good, she herself felt that it still lacked some tension and did not have the power to instantly hit people's hearts.

Such acting skills may be enough to qualify for an Oscar nomination for Best Actress, but if she wants to win, I feel she is still a little short of the mark.

Of course, the history of the Oscars is not without examples of behind-the-scenes operations, relying on marketing and bribery to win the Best Actress.

However, none of the actresses who won the Best Actress through this method will not be ridiculed by netizens afterwards. When the time comes, if the most popular Best Actress is placed on their head, it will accompany them for almost their entire careers, and they will never be washed away. White stain.

Luo Quan cherishes his feathers so much that even if he really has the ability to be a public relations judge, he will never do it.

What's more, she is fully capable of winning this award based on her ability.

Wait a moment!

Luo Quan suddenly seemed to think of something.

This year's "Titanic" is coming so fast that even before it was released, Director Carnason already considered the Oscar to be in his bag.

Facts have proved that this movie is indeed a historical classic. There is no doubt that it will win the Best Picture Oscar next year. The question is just how many awards it can win.

With such a strong movie, many directors in Hollywood, including industry giants like Director Ford, have postponed the release plans of their movies until 2019.

There are many big and good productions here. Even if it is not as good as "Titanic", it is still a rare good movie in the past.

In other words, next year will be a year full of blockbusters, and the competition for the Oscars in 2020 will be extremely fierce.

But others don't know it, but Luo Quan knows how difficult it is for Jack and Rose to win the Best Actor and Best Actress.

Hollywood academics dislike young and good-looking actors the least, unless your acting skills are really superb.

Whether it is Leon or Carillian, their performance in the movie is obviously not at this level.

In Luo Quan's memory, the youngest Best Actor at the Oscars is currently 25 years old, and the youngest Best Actress is 21.

It shows that it is possible for girls to win Oscars for Best Actress in their early 20s, but the prerequisite is that they must have excellent works.

Luo Quan will be 21 years old next April, and the Oscars are held at the end of February. If she wants to break the record, this year is the best chance.

The only major movie this year is "Titanic", and it's not easy for Karilian to win the Best Actress award. If Luo Quan can win a classic work, it is really possible to become the youngest Best Actress Oscar!

People's motivation to move forward is often the flash of an idea. Luo Quan, who had originally planned to keep fishing until school started in October, suddenly had the intention to make another movie.

After all, opportunities to create masterpieces like this year’s are scarce and not available every year.

Just do what you say. Although Luo Quan usually fishes for fish, once he has a plan, he will implement it immediately.

She has already decided which movie to make, and the first thing she needs to do is to recruit actors for other roles.

After flipping through the address book for a while, Luo Quan found the phone number and called it directly...

In a mansion in New York, a blonde beauty with a figure good enough to take off the crown of a sexy goddess was talking impatiently on the phone with her face strap on.

"George, I've said it many times, I don't want to film 300 Rise of an Empire, please don't bother me anymore."

"Carillian, I've told you many times that the film studio offered a very high salary this time, making one movie higher than the three movies you made before.

You are now famous. If you don't take this opportunity to make more money, how long do you plan to put it off?

Nowadays, the competition for actresses in Hollywood is becoming more and more fierce, and a woman's golden age is only a few years. If you waste it, it will be too late to regret it later! "

The George who spoke was Carillian's agent, but was arranged for her by Carillian's company.

Unlike Leon, Carillian's company can only be considered third-rate in the industry.

Seifert knew that after Lyon became famous, he would cherish his feathers and try not to accept bad movies.

But small companies don't have many choices. The first priority must be to make money. After all, who knows how long the popularity brought by "Titanic" will last?

Therefore, not long after Karilian became popular, Karilian's company arranged for her to be the heroine of a commercial movie.

This movie is a sequel. The first one also achieved considerable commercial success around the world and is hailed as a model of war movies and violent aesthetics in the new century.

It was originally a good IP, but after reading the script, Carillian decisively chose to refuse the role.

The reason is simple, there is a nude scene in it.

Why do I say it again, because since Carly Lane debuted, she has already filmed two movies with nudity scenes.

However, Carilian was willing to take the first two pictures because she dedicated herself to art. One time helped her be nominated for Best Actress in Cannes, and the other time brought her extremely hot popularity.

But this time, she didn't want to take it off again.

For a commercial film, why did she ask her to shoot this kind of scene? Carillian herself knows this only too well.

She has been immersed in Oscar's fame and fortune since she was a child.

To be honest, she has not been involved by a big producer until now. Even she thinks it is a miracle.

So this time, she was unwilling to accept another film that clearly objectified women.

She was willing to compromise even if this scene was deleted from the script, but she communicated with the director and producer and the answer she got was no way.

Then there is no way, and she can only be sorry.

I just didn't expect that after she refused, her agent George asked her to take the role many times, completely disrespecting her ideas and not taking her reputation seriously.

Thinking of this, Carillian gradually became angry: "George, my contract with the company only has two months left. Don't force me to sign with other companies!"

George's tone was cold: "Haha, your wings will become stronger when you become more famous, right? Don't forget that it was the company that cultivated you, and you are where you are today!"

Carillian also sneered in response: "What I am today is due to my own efforts. What does it have to do with you capitalists who only know how to count money in the office?"

George threatened: "Don't be too proud, Carillian. The company has the ability to promote you, but it also has the ability to destroy you. The most indispensable thing in Hollywood is beautiful actresses. Your career has just started to improve now. Don't let yourself be conceited." Destroy your own future!"

"Do you think I don't know any tricks? It's nothing more than buying dirty materials and hiring trolls. I'll leave it here. You can hack me any way you want. I can't make this movie. There's still a contract, so don't even think about renewing it. !" After saying that, Carillian hung up the phone angrily...

"Sorry, the user you dialed is currently on a call. Please call again later."

Hearing the beep on the phone, Luo Quan pressed the hang up button, "Can't get through."

After waiting for three minutes, Luo Quan called again, and this time he got through.

"George, I told you, it's impossible for me..."

"Hey, Carillian, do you still remember my voice?" Luo Quan greeted with a smile.

"Oh my god, I'm sorry, are you...Luo Quan?" Carillian apologized in embarrassment, and then quickly guessed Luo Quan's identity.

This clear and ethereal voice is so recognizable. Who else could it be if it wasn't Luo Quan?

"Someone named George must have made you unhappy just now. Why did I call your phone and the line was busy?" Luo Quan made a joke, trying to lighten the atmosphere.

"It's nothing, just some problems at work, nothing to worry about." Carillian smiled reluctantly. In fact, George's threat to her just now really put her under pressure.

As a third-rate company, the company's ability to gain a foothold in Hollywood relies on its strong public relations capabilities. It couldn't be easier to discredit a star.

After terminating her contract with the company, if she didn't immediately sign a contract with a big company, she would definitely not be a match for this group of people on her own.

If the company were to be more desperate and punish her during the remaining two months of the contract, there would be nothing they could do.

Luo Quan smiled and said, "As long as it's okay, if you have any trouble, you can tell me. I still know some friends at Universal, and maybe I can help you."

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Maybe joining Global is a good choice?

"By the way, I'm calling you this time because there is a role I want you to play. I wonder if you are interested." After the pleasantries, Luo Quan went straight to the point.

"Character? What movie, what character?"

"It's a horror movie." Luo Quan knew that horror movies were not popular in Hollywood, and famous actors didn't think highly of this movie, so he immediately explained: "This is not a simple horror movie, it is a very interesting movie." It is a horror film that is deep and tests the character's acting skills. It will definitely win an Oscar if it is finished."

"Uh, I don't mean to discriminate against horror movies." Carillian smiled, "Luo Quan, the industry knows your capabilities. Since you said so, just send me the script. As long as there are no problems, I will definitely be willing to act.

but…………"

"But what?" Luo Quan asked hurriedly.

"I have been having conflicts with the company recently. Just now, I had a big fight with George, the company's top executive who is also my agent.

I have decided to terminate my contract with the company, and George also said that he will deal with me at all costs, so I’m afraid I won’t have enough energy to act in a short period of time, so..."

"Can you tell me the specific reason?" Luo Quan decided to find out the whole story first. After all, good people can't do this often.

"The truth is this." Carillian sighed and explained the cause and effect of the matter.
