America's Big Hero
Page 441
But this thing is not a long-term solution, and it is not about mixing Fernando Valley, in Hollywood, or shooting mainstream movies.
"Then there is no way to shoot "Basic Instinct 2"?" Sean couldn't hear any emotion in his voice.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sean."
"Well, good." Sean said nothing, and hung up the phone directly.
Listening to the blind voice on the phone, Paul Verhoeven felt a little apprehensive. As we all know, Sean is the worst-tempered boss among the eight. He is ruthless and likes to use violence to solve problems the most.
It is impossible for him to say that he is not afraid.
"Is it Sean from the Eighth University?" The co-pilot next to him, a beautiful woman's eyes lit up, but quickly covered it up, and asked in a pretty voice: "It will be okay if you refuse him?"
"Impossible!" Paul Verhoeven laughed. "This is Hollywood, the center of the world's film and television culture. I just don't want to make that movie right away. There are so many directors here, and it's not just me."
"Besides, you won't do anything just because I refuse once?"
"Who dares to shoot a movie for Sean as the news spreads!"
"Is it true that the directors' union doesn't exist? His style is outdated in Hollywood, not decades ago!" Paul Verhoeven would never show timidity in front of beautiful women. He is a man of culture and art. They are more or less strong and arrogant.
Even the fat man who admits that he is the king of bad movies!
Besides, that's what he thought.
Even in the Netherlands, those gangsters in the Netherlands have to take their credibility and reputation into consideration.
I am a public figure, a big director, not some unknown junior, so there should be no problem...
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
Just as he was thinking, someone knocked on the car window.
The man outside the window directly opened the car door, with a straight face, looked down at Paul Verhoeven and said, "Boss, please go over."
"Ah? Who? Sean?" Paul Verhoeven blurted out. He just hung up the phone here, so he wouldn't be looking for him so soon, right?
Or is this person always around?
"Let's go!" The visitor said expressionlessly.
"No, this is kidnapping." Paul Verhoeven's face flushed instantly. He said he was fine just now, but now he is about to be slapped in the face. Doesn't my big director want to lose face?
"Who do you say, go by yourself or do you want me to help you?"
"You, you, you'd better leave quickly, I will call the police!" Paul Verhoeven went to touch the phone, hoping to scare the other party away.
Afterwards, let the producer of "RoboCop" communicate with Sean. They are all big companies, and Sean has to show face no matter what.
Now, on the one hand, I don't want to lose face, but on the other hand, I am afraid that the end of the past is uncertain at this time.
"Call the police?" The visitor seemed to have heard some joke, and laughed loudly, "You call, or I will call for you."
Then he took out his phone!
Paul Verhoeven stared into the eyes of the visitor, hoping to see traces of acting in the other person.
Seeing the sarcasm in the other party's eyes, he gritted his teeth, picked up the phone and dialed out, "Here is...the license plate number...someone threatened me to kidnap me!"
"Okay, um, um, the police will be on the scene immediately!" The operator wrote down the number and was about to notify the nearby patrolling police.
……
Just as I was about to connect with the patrolling police, I saw the person in charge approaching.
The person in charge patted the operator on the shoulder, hooked his hands, took the intercom for the call, and found the nearby policeman according to the patrol record, "Someone called the police at this address, go and have a look, the license plate number... Be sure to read it carefully, carefully." Look carefully and see if any crimes are happening!"
Finally, the person in charge emphasized another sentence.
On the other end, the fat police officer who received the message frowned, put down the walkie-talkie, and slowly ate the hamburger in his hand and drank the Coke, showing no sign of being in a hurry.
"Let's go!" The young policeman walking next to him stuffed the hamburger into his mouth in twos and threes, and vaguely stabbed the fat policeman next to him.
The fat policeman glanced at the other party, stretched out his hand to press it down, and still ate the hamburger in a slow manner, and occasionally took a sip of Coke, and took a long interval after drinking.
……
"No hurry, I'll accompany you!" On the side of the road, a person leaned against the front of the car, took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked slowly, completely ignoring the call to the police.
Paul Verhoeven was full of confidence in the other party, and he became more and more uncertain.
The other party is not afraid of the police?
Collusion with the police?
The more I thought about it, the more afraid I became, and the more afraid I became, the less I dared to go, my eyes swept around, expecting the police car to come quickly, and there was still a little bit of expectation in my heart.
The eyes of the woman next to him were dangling back and forth between Paul Verhoeven and the man sitting in the front of the car, the fire of gossip was burning, she had nothing to fear, she was just asked out to play.
Anxiously waiting, Paul Verhoeven picked up the phone again to call the police. The operator was very polite and said he would be there soon.
On the other side, the police car was finally on the road, and the young police officer also saw the problem, and asked curiously: "What's going on? Didn't you say to take a good look, look carefully?"
"Yes!" The old policeman nodded while listening to the song on the radio.
"That……"
"Have you heard this before when you call the police?" The old policeman glanced over.
"what!?"
"To be a policeman, you need to know how to analyze problems. If it is really a major event, the notification should be broadcast near a certain area, and everyone must gather."
"Again, the first level is 'quick, where to go immediately' and the tone is anxious." The old policeman gave the young man some experience of being a policeman.
Talking, chatting, to the place.
Paul Verhoeven was so overjoyed when the police drove up that he jumped out of the car and was about to pass.
The policeman glanced through the car window, stepped on the gas pedal, and Paul Verhoeven seemed to blow past Paul Verhoeven.
Paul Verhoeven's hair was disheveled by the blowing wind, and his face instantly changed from surprise to shock, then from anger to panic, and finally hysterical. It looked very fun!
The person sent by Sean jumped down from the front of the car and walked up to Paul Verhoeven, "Do you want to call the police again? Maybe it will be different!"
"You, you, you colluded with the police!" Paul Verhoeven gritted his teeth, trembling all over, frightened.
"Ha, the police are not obliged to protect specific people, understand, Dutchman!" The man raised his hand and slapped Paul Verhoeven on the cheek, "Go by yourself or I will escort you!"
Paul Verhoeven's complexion kept changing, and the matter had come to an end, so he had to go see that one.
But he really didn't want to.
"Are you not afraid that I will run away by myself?"
"If you can run out, that's your strength!" The visitor sneered.
"Okay, I'll go by myself!" Paul Verhoeven gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and turned to get in the car. He turned his head and glanced at the woman in the co-pilot, "Get out of the car!"
Now any beauties are no longer interesting to him.
The woman pouted secretly, but said nothing, and obediently got out of the car.
……
After all, Paul Verhoeven didn't try to run away, and it was impossible not to hang out in Hollywood, so he could only bite the bullet and went to Sean Villa, where he had been here once.
It was the director of "Basic Instinct" that was set at that time.
"Mr. Sean." As soon as he entered, Paul saw Sean lying on the lap of a beautiful woman.
And Sean didn't intend to sit up at all, he looked at Paul with a slumped face expressionlessly, Sean didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the hall was very dignified.
Sean didn't speak, and Paul became more and more nervous.
Even Halle Berry, who was a human pillow, held her breath, but she knew that Paul Verhoeven, the director who had just made a movie with a global box office of nearly 4 million US dollars.
If it was herself, she would not even know how much she would have to pay for the chance to meet this great director, but now, she is sitting while the other is standing.
At the age of 20, the great director stood in front of me like a minion!
How fat is this excitement!
Faintly, wet...
"Bringing you from the Netherlands to Hollywood, I didn't treat you badly, did I?" Sean said slowly, without much emotion.
Hearing Sean's words, Paul Verhoeven heaved a sigh of relief. He had met many movie company bosses and rich people before, but this was the first one with such an oppressive force.
"No, no!" Paul said quickly.
"Without me, you wouldn't have had the chance to become a hit in Hollywood, admit it!"
"I admit it, boss." Paul gritted his teeth, he really wanted to say, I make a movie and get paid, this is just a transaction, and you also make money.
This is because the social system is different and the values are different.
In the eyes of Xiao En, who has a Chinese soul, this is called the grace of knowing you!
There are many talented people in this world, but how many are in their early years?
A thousand-mile horse often exists, but Bole does not.
I don't ask you to report to me, but you can't fucking run away after becoming famous!
This is why Sean is so angry. He has the intention of killing people.
As for the fact that this movie was Paul's wool...wouldn't it be natural for the wool to come out of the sheep?
I'm a capitalist! Hey!
"I dug you out, and now I'm asking you to make another movie, but you refuse me. If everyone is like you, then I, Sean, won't be bullied."
Paul pursed his lips, and you can say that you can let others bully you?
"What do you think I should do with you?"
"Boss, I really, really accepted a film, "Robocop". If you don't believe me, you can investigate it." Paul was really afraid that Sean would do something, the police or something, he had just seen it.
"I don't want to hear any reason, "Basic Instinct 2" is preparing the script, Sharon Stone will join the group after the filming is over, shoot well, don't tell me that the sequel should be postponed for a year, there are many beautiful women in the film industry No matter, who will remember Sharon Stone in a few years, young people are no more attractive than her!"
As he spoke, Sean gently rubbed Halle Berry's thigh with his hand.
"Don't ask for 4 million box office, even if there is half of it, 2 million box office, plus various copyrights and video tape markets, the scale will exceed 3 million!"
"Let me, let everyone lose so much, it's not enough to repay you if you sell your slices."
"Of course, the remuneration that should be given to you will not be small, and will give you a remuneration that matches your current worth."
"Do you understand what I said?" Sean looked at Paul expressionlessly.
Paul opened his mouth, but what about the film I'm taking now?
It can be seen that the look in Sean's eyes is getting worse and worse, Paul suddenly shivered, and immediately agreed.
Over there, I explained the situation clearly, the knife was already in my chest, and there was nothing I could do about it. It would be best if the over there dared to challenge Sean and stab the matter out.
After thinking about it, Paul breathed a sigh of relief. He just didn't want to create a label for Hollywood that he could only make such pornographic dramas, and he was also afraid of ruining the brand he had accumulated so hard.
It's not because he hates Sean or something. Besides, the salary paid by "RoboCop" is really not high, even lower than that of "Basic Instinct 1" before, not to mention that the boss is going to raise the price now.
He only thinks about the long term, not just for money.
Those who engage in art, who is not a little bit arrogant or pursuing.
Ahem, of course, this does not include now.
"Someone will contact you to write the script." Sean waved his hand, and Paul bowed and left immediately.
Walking out of the gate of the villa and looking up at the sun, I felt my body go weak after I completely relaxed.
It's not that he's ignorant. In the movies he's made, there are many people who stand at the top of power. However, the performances are incomparable to the real ones, and it's really frightening that his legs are weak.
While walking outside, I was thinking about how to shoot the sequel.
He had really considered this matter, otherwise he would not have refused before.
It was only after meeting Sean that he suddenly had a new idea.
In addition to the weird killing method, in the end, a lead can actually be buried again.
In the end, Catherine, played by Sharon Stone, appeared in a large villa, kneeling in front of a man... working hard.
He looked up, showing a foolish smile, with words written on his face.
Everything is just the master's task!
Thinking of this plot, Paul suddenly became a little excited. If the black hands behind the scenes were interspersed, the film's conception would suddenly be a little higher.
