Martin Scorsese would be so pretentious. As he said before, this is a business era that advocates money. There are no favors in favor, just like going to the most luxurious hotel for a banquet. I lost my most expensive car parked outside, which made me sad and a little distressed.
However, this is just human nature in the European and American concept of doing things. It is more like the principle that couples need to pay their own way when dining on a date. It is an inherent tradition of people.
Therefore, Liu Qingshan expressed the following.
"No matter whether the person you introduced is the best candidate in my mind in the end, I have to thank you for your selfless help and hard work! In fact, regarding "Infernal Affairs" filmed in our country, I also had an overseas introduction a year ago Idea, but the thought lagged behind the action, and you and Warner Bros. took the lead!”
"Qingshan, what do you mean..."
With Martin Scorsese's sagacity, he naturally guessed the implication of Liu Qingshan's words, which was simply to give away his previous creative ideas.
Before, he would have regarded this seemingly reckless and brainless behavior as overestimating his abilities, but after reading the script of "The King's Speech" with his own eyes, he had already regarded Liu Qingshan as an old guy like himself. It has nothing to do with age and experience.
Liu Qingshan did not show off his feelings. In his opinion, Martin Scorsese really helped him a lot.
"I have retained the outline and some precautions from the previous creation. The original story is different and outsiders may not be able to understand it. So I need you to provide your own script for me to read over, so that my suggestions can be more relevant to you. s story!"
When Martin Scorsese heard that this was indeed the case, his expression of joy was palpable.
He couldn't be unhappy. He came to Xiangjiang this time just to perfect the final expression of the script. For this purpose, he even spent his own money to invite the two original authors to stay on the crew for a while.
Now with the help of this amazing young man who could write the script of "The King's Speech", my previous ideas seemed insignificant.
Liu Qingshan, on the other hand, had no pressure at all. He just asked the super star maker to sort out the imperfections in the original movie and print them out.
As for the excuse of reading the script, it was just an excuse to hide his intimate knowledge of the plot.
After getting what he wanted most, Martin Scorsese immediately became more active. Regarding this, his performance was far inferior to that of the Chinese. China’s countless inheritance over thousands of years contains a lot of happiness. The textbook content of behavior that does not express anger and expresses likes and dislikes.
And Martin Scorsese has no idea of concealing the two states before and after. He is undoubtedly telling others that he has been acting before.
While Liu Qingshan was watching this and feeling happy in his heart, Martin had already entered the study room again to make his so-called helpline.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li and Tuesday, who were pure bystanders, asked almost in unison the question that had been in their minds for a long time: "What script are you writing? Is it really related to any speech in England?"
The special historical circumstances of Xiangjiang destined the people there to have a sufficient understanding of the major events that occurred on British soil.
But even so, they did not dare to connect that famous historical event with the script written by Liu Qingshan. After all, the difference between the two was more than just the difference in their growing environment.
"It's a play called The King's Speech, which is what happened to George V!"
Although Liu Qingshan stated his conclusion straightforwardly, the two of them could not accept it for a while.
But after all, the status of the two people was extremely high, and their perspective on the problem was also unique, so they immediately put aside the shock in their hearts and their heads were spinning crazily.
It's a pity that Liu Qingshan didn't have time to wait for them to organize the language routine, because Martin Scorsese was already opening the door and asking him to come in and answer the phone.
Not surprisingly, the person he got rid of was the person in Liu Qingshan's imagination - Tom Hopper!
This person is a cutting-edge director trained in England, but he is only a 33-year-old young man at this time. His only debut work was the mini-series "The Half Life of Daniel" which was filmed just two years ago, and he made his debut because of it.
After listening to the man's self-introduction, Liu Qingshan showed his doubts about his age in a timely manner.
Martin Scorsese, who had been observing silently, quickly came closer and explained in a low voice: "Although he is young, he has the most say in that speech, because he was born in London and graduated from Oxford University. The thesis is about that famous speech event, which has been studied in depth professionally for many years!”
Liu Qingshan nodded noncommittally, "Mr. Hopper, please tell me about the respected King George VI. How much do you know specifically about it?"
He actually doesn't care about the content of the other person's answer, and even listens with intention.
It was just his routine to adopt this method. Since he would later receive dozens of nominations and awards including Oscars for "The King's Speech", it is enough to prove the excellence of the other party.
However, even for such a world-renowned classic work, there are still many misleading scenes and discrepancies with reality.
But he won't point it out for this person to pay attention to now. Instead, he plans to save it until before the official shooting, and point it out indirectly in front of others.
Because he has other purposes in mind, but this idea is still in its infancy, and he will have to wait until the time matures before he can act accordingly.
Moreover, he knew that Tom Hopper would become more and more famous in the future, and he would produce many famous dramas. At a certain moment, Liu Qingshan even thought about how to draw him into his employ.
But then I thought about it, no matter how capable this person is, because he is not from Hollywood, the influence he can bring to Snowland Studio is actually not very great.
This call was not fruitless. At least Liu Qingshan knew that this person's directing style was more artistic. For example, he had a special liking for his country's history and stage plots.
In general, he did not deviate too much from Liu Qingshan's estimation of his character, which is that he has a pure British flavor and an adventurous spirit that dares to pursue art.
Before the call ended, he did not elaborate more on Tom Hopper's answer, but he revealed a little bit about the idea that the script could be handed over to him.
He didn't give a direct answer because he wanted to meet this person to improve his status.
Of course, there are also questions about investors, because he knows that the original film encountered many difficulties at the beginning of filming, including the investment issue of 14 million US dollars.
Although the $14 million later became almost dispensable in the face of the huge achievement of $425 million, the difficulties faced at the time were still serious.
Now that he understands the twists and turns, Liu Qingshan will try to publicize and hype it, so that this classic masterpiece that will surely shock the world will dominate the world earlier.
