How should he put it?
This was a very good script.
As an actor,
When he saw a good script, he naturally wanted to act in it.
But the content of this script was really —
He had read the original novel, so he naturally knew how Cheng Dieyi felt about Duan Xiaolou.
Although the script had dealt with a lot of sensitive emotional content, it was still — too exciting.
"What do you think? I mean, do you accept this script or not? "
"Although I'm very interested in this role, if Cheng Dieyi's role is well played,
It will definitely be a masterpiece of mine. But — gay movies,
For the current social environment,
This theme is too exciting. So I don't know if I should take it or not? What do you think? "
"If it were me — I would support you to take this movie,
But it's best not to shoot it now. "
"Farewell My Concubine" was indeed a classic,
So if possible, Siya didn't want to butterfly out of this movie.
But it was only eight years old now,
It was indeed not suitable to shoot this movie now.
"Not now? But who knows in the future — you want to hype up the topic of 'homosexuality'! "
Leslie, who had slowly grown up, quickly guessed what Siya wanted to do.
Leslie used to practice in the company for two years. At that time, Siya helped him hire a lot of teachers to teach him.
Although Leslie was too protected by Siya later,
He wasn't really a naive child who didn't know anything.
Now that Siya had let go, Leslie quickly grew up.
Therefore, the entertainment industry was really a place to train people.
"That's right. I've already gotten someone to check. Because the content of 'Farewell My Concubine' is too sensitive, Director Chen hasn't been able to pull in many sponsors. Right now, he only has enough money to pay you. And just now, they found Ah Mei's agent and wanted her to play the role of Chrysanthemum Fairy. So — you know, just drag it out. After a while,
After this topic has been hyped up,
It'll be fine. "
Leslie looked at Siya's rare roguish look,
He thought she was very cute.
"Then how are you going to hype up this topic?"
"What do you think if I shoot a 'gay' movie first?"
With that said, Siya began to seriously consider the feasibility of this matter.
"Ever since the 'Oscar' awards ended last year, our company in Hollywood hasn't made any amazing movies. In fact, this year's' Oscar 'might even get an egg. Because of this, everyone in the company is a little anxious. "
Especially C, who had called him earlier, hoping that he would write another script for him.
One had to know that because the results of the previous year were too good, there were many reporters staring at them today.
C had already received a lot of ridicule because the company didn't have any popular movies that won awards this year.
This infuriated C.
One had to know that the company's box office this year had been very good, and C was also a "pragmatist".
To be able to force C to care about awards instead of box office — it seemed that C was under a lot of pressure.
After all, no matter how good the box office was, it wouldn't change the opinions of the "Oscar" judges.
Moreover, because they had almost won the "Oscars" last year, they had offended other companies.
In the past, the "Oscars" were supposed to be shared by everyone, but now …
As a result, after the company didn't have any good movies that won awards this year, there were many "rumors" that the company was on the verge of collapse.
Unexpectedly, there were actually many fools who believed this news. For a time, it even affected the company's stock price.
This time, Siya couldn't ignore it.
Originally, the emcee was still considering which movie to film, but now it seemed that he could only choose that one.
"Film a 'gay' movie?"
"Yes, I'm going to film a 'gay' movie in Hollywood to test the waters. After all, it's more open than Hong Kong, and there's more freedom of speech. Even if someone doesn't accept it, they'll just boycott the movie. It won't affect other things much. "
"It seems that you're ready to make a choice."
"That's right, I'm going to film Brokeback Mountain!"
She chose "Brokeback Mountain" because this movie was very popular in terms of awards. Even if there was a conflict, as long as it won a few awards, it would be easier to talk.
Siya wasn't prepared to cause trouble for her film company just because of a topic.
"It's just that there are many people in the West who are boycotting 'gay' movies. Moreover, there's freedom of speech there. If there's a small matter, there will be demonstrations. Is there really anyone who's willing to film such a movie? "
"I'll find two newcomers who are eager to get promoted. The director will see who has the best taste. As for whether the public can accept it, it will depend on the foundation of my script and the acting skills of the actors. But if they're in Hollywood, they're newcomers. Their acting skills should be enough to make people feel at ease! "
Leslie looked at Siya's confident look and laughed.
"Our Ya 'er's foundation in the script was already proven last year. I believe that this time, you'll also open everyone's eyes."
After they lived together, Siya no longer hid her secret side.
Occasionally, when dealing with some secret business, she wouldn't hide it from Leslie.
And Leslie was also trying hard to get used to Siya.
He wasn't a naive child. He naturally understood that the dark side of the world couldn't disappear.
After all, in this world, where there was light, there was darkness.
And those — it was actually not bad to have Siya control them.
At the very least, Siya would be able to control everything within the scope of her own control.
After receiving Siya's fax, C read the script once and then got someone to arrange and prepare. He wanted to shoot as soon as possible and strive for this year's "Oscar" award.
This time, C was also going all out.
After all, if their company really failed at the "Oscar" awards this year, J and the others would definitely laugh at him for a year.
。
But this time, the script —
Young Master had already started preparing for his and Leslie's future?
Although he accepted the relationship between Young Master and Leslie, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
On the other side, Leslie found Li Bihua and Director Chen and temporarily rejected the script of "Farewell, My Concubine".
At the same time, he told them the truth about his hesitation and scruples.
Actually, what Leslie was really worried about was that his image would affect "Rong Sing".
Because he was the first artist to debut in "Rong Sing", many people had already associated him with the image of "Rong Sing".
If he was alone, perhaps he would have acted in this script that he liked very much. But now that "Rong Sing" was involved, he really had to consider it carefully.
As for Leslie's rejection, they already knew in their hearts how sensitive the content of this drama was. As the director and scriptwriter, they knew very well how sensitive it was.
"Rong Sing" artists had always had a good image in the circle. Most of the time, when they were filming, they would often consider the current social atmosphere and delete the script.
But no matter what, Director Chen still wanted to try harder.
If this drama was really successful, then his position in the circle of directors would be stable.
Now that the crew's funds were not fully in place, if he could invite Leslie, then the investors would be more willing to give money on account of Leslie's box office guarantee.
At the same time, with Leslie, it would be easier for him to invite Ah Mei in the future.
"Director, it's actually because the content of the script is sensitive. Then let's cut it a little and make the content more obscure. Wouldn't it be fine?"
"Impossible. Let's not talk about whether Ms. Li is willing to change the script first. If we cut the content and make it more obscure, what's left of this drama?"
"Then what do you think we should do now, Director?"
"What should we do? Either we change the person, or we try again! "
In fact, when Director Chen decided to film this drama, he had made a lot of decisions himself.
Under the personal supervision of C, "Brokeback Mountain" was filmed very quickly.
This time, they were aiming for an "Oscar", so although this movie was filmed very quickly, the quality was absolutely excellent, and the images were very beautiful.
However, because of the content of this movie, it was boycotted by many people as soon as it was released.
Some places even asked the government to ban it.
Fortunately, Siya had many cinemas of her own, so the number of screenings of "Brokeback Mountain" was not affected.
Otherwise, "Brokeback Mountain" would be the same as in history.
Even in 2005, "Brokeback Mountain" was only released in 683 cinemas in the United States, and the box office revenue was only 30 million USD.
But no matter what, Siya had achieved her goal.
"Brokeback Mountain" caused a huge sensation as soon as it was released. Although it was a "gay" movie, the plot and images were very good, and many people liked it.
The topic of "gay" was completely hyped up because of "Brokeback Mountain".
Now, people from all walks of life were discussing the topic of "gay love" all over the world.
Just as the topic of "Brokeback Mountain" slowly became a global topic because of the release of "Brokeback Mountain", Leslie was filming "A Chinese Ghost Story" in Hong Kong, which was also two years ahead of schedule.
