Chapter 23 David Fincher filming The Silence of the Lambs?
With the smooth progress of the filming of "La La Land", the time has gradually come to October.
Since he just moved to North America in early July, it has been 3 months since he was fully counted.
He, who had only $1,000 in his pocket at the beginning, is now a "talented director" with a net worth of hundreds of millions.
However, the cost of "La La Land" increased to 30 million US dollars, and the cost of "Silence of the Lambs" increased to 5 million US dollars, plus the salary of hundreds of staff members of the company's crew.
The $130 million that Chu Xuan earned with "Ghost Records" also burned quickly.
It's no wonder that movies are not something that ordinary people can do. Suppose "La La Land" and "Silence of the Lambs" lose money on the street.
Chu Xuan will face great pressure. He will accompany him in two or three more movies, and the 100 million US dollars will not be made by him.
Fortunately, these movies have been verified in the previous life market, and the parallel world market is similar, and success is sure to succeed.
The only suspense is to earn more and less.
In addition to "La La Land", another film "Silence of the Lambs" invested by Infinite Pictures has also started filming.
Elizabeth Olsen is participating in FBI training again, pondering the script, and preparing for the shooting of a new play.
She and Chu Xuan don't spend much time talking on the phone, let alone dating in their spare time.
Only when Chu Xuan occasionally visits another crew can he meet Aomei briefly.
Chu Xuan is a little worried about the parallel world of Silence of the Lambs.
Original film director Jonathan Demme passed away in 2017 in Parallel World.
So I had to find a director with a similar style to direct the film.
Chu Xuan originally wanted to find Martin Scorsese, the director of "Las Vegas," "The Wolf of Wall Street," and "Shutter Island."
It's a pity that this old man is very old. He is full of praise for the script of "The Silence of the Lambs", but he is unable to come out.
Then Chu Xuan thought of another director.
The director of "The Seven Deadly Sins", "Gone Girl", "Fight Club", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" - David Fincher.
He is also very good at this kind of dark-style thriller and suspense film, using the language of the camera to grasp the audience's psychology, making people follow the progress of the story with nervous emotions, and finally it is creepy and terrifying.
When Chu Xuan sent the script, before he could ask, David Fincher took the initiative to call that night.
"Mr. Chu, I'm ready."
The next day, while on vacation in Miami, he had already appeared at the door of Infinite Pictures.
Chu Xuan was dumbfounded by such efficiency.
David Fincher + Anthony Hopkins + Elizabeth Olsen.
With such a lineup, Chu Xuan could not predict the final effect of the film.
However, the script and storyboards are under the control of Chu Xuan himself, no matter how bad the filming is, it can't be much worse.
After the outside media learned about Chu Xuan's "two-line operation", there was another round of doubts.
The Los Santos Times stated:
"Others are 21 years old and still enjoying parties on campus. The up-and-coming Chinese director Chu Xuan has already started his second and third films at the same time."
"One director, one producer, Chu Xuan is simply a new generation of workaholics."
"Is it just too risky for him to start two projects at the same time?"
"The newly established Infinite Pictures has already participated in a big gamble..."
The Hollywood Reporter stated:
"Chu Xuan's two projects, one is a musical and the other is a suspense thriller. The style difference is so huge that it makes people sweat for him."
"The famous director David Fincher, who worked with him, said that Chu Xuan's script is unique and wonderful."
"This also arouses the curiosity of fans. I hope the film will be released as soon as possible, so that we can feel what it means to be unique."
...
Film critic Roger Ebert tweeted again:
"I thought Chu Xuan was an arrogant young man, but now it looks like he's just inflated and ignorant."
"The serious art of film is really played by him."
"Just after making some money off an unknown horror film, he can't wait to start two films."
"Could it be that in his eyes, movies are elementary school math problems?"
"The script only took a week, and filming was desperately catching up."
"I'll bet that his two films will definitely hit the street. If one box office exceeds 200 million, or the imdb score exceeds 8 points, I will give up my position as a film critic and go to the Avenue of Stars to sell hot dogs!"
It shows how confident Roger Ebert is in himself by letting a well-known film critic lose his halo and buy a hot dog.
Everything Chu Xuan does seems to be against common sense in Hollywood.
In the past, Hollywood had a set of unspoken rules that everyone would silently abide by.
Chu Xuan came in like a hurricane, turning North American movies upside down.
6,000 yuan earned more than 200 million at the box office. These senior filmmakers questioned Chu Xuan's true strength while being sour and envious.
Until now, people in the industry are still verbally denouncing "Smart: Ghost Recording".
In private, pseudo-documentary projects have been quietly established.
"Death Video", "The Last Witch", "Area 51", "Super Awakening"...
Maybe next year, fans will suddenly find that there are many fake documentaries on the market.
And Chu Xuan, the "father of pseudo-documentary", has already killed the Quartet in the new field.
...
When Chu Xuan entered the Heavenly Palace like a grandson monkey, it turned North America upside down.
The entertainment industry far away in Long Kingdom is indeed dull.
"The Hong Kong Island classic police and bandit action film "The Detective of Fury" was released, and Pea scored 8 points to detonate the summer program."
"Brother Milk Tea has been silent for 10 years. The new song is released, and the "The Most Perfect Work" is listened to on all platforms simultaneously."
"Boss Yang's new e-sports training variety show is on the air, and Da Mi Mi suffered a tragic turnaround."
"Brother Four Characters gave up the theater quota, and ridiculed that it should be hotly debated as a writer."
"ESO men's team disbanded one year after its establishment, and the circumstances are different."
Zhao Jingmai has been busy with the new drama "Teenage Party 2". After filming, she slumped on the bed tired, flipping through the news of Neiyu on her mobile phone.
After seeing ESO, she suddenly thought of Chu Xuan.
In the Dragon Kingdom of the parallel world, it is very closed to overseas entertainment news.
Unless you're a Hollywood fan. Generally, few people pay attention to the film and television dynamics over there.
"Ghost Records" is a popular film in North America, but no one cares about it in Long Kingdom.
So Zhao Jingmai hasn't contacted Chu Xuan for a long time, and I don't know how he is doing there.
Not long ago, Chu Xuan inexplicably asked her for some sensitive identity information.
It even includes ID cards, passports, brokerage companies, personal resumes, etc.
It is impossible for ordinary people to give it to others casually. In case of bad intentions, Zhao Jingmai's funds would have been swept away long ago.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jingmai didn't know if it was because he was stunned in filming, but he still trusted Chu Xuan very much.
She gave him all the information at once, but simply asked a question in the v letter.
"What do you want these for?"
Chu Xuan simply replied: "It works."
A few days later, Chu Xuan sent another Swiss Bank account.
Zhao Jingmai happened to be busy and forgot about it.
I didn't remember this account until I saw the disbandment of ESO today and suddenly remembered Chu Xuan.
She curiously followed the instructions and logged into the Swiss Bank official website account.
Then she was stunned, covering her mouth in disbelief!
"No! One, ten, white... 100 million! 100 million RMB?"
What did Chu Xuan do in North America? *
