105, unethical trading(1/2)

Keanu said he wanted to be a singer and he kept his word.

It didn't take long for this guy to find a few music friends and form a rock band called 'dogstar', just like River's Aleka's Attic band and Depp's Hollywood Vampires band. All three guys have to be the lead singers.

.

After Keanu formed a band, he also encouraged him to start a band for fun. When the time comes, several bands will hold concerts together and it will be more lively.

Duka sternly refused. He had enough things on his hands and didn't want to make trouble again.

But Andrew was very interested in this proposal and expressed his intention to find a few rich second-generation people who were good at playing and create a luxurious band to have fun.

Duca just wanted to say he was crazy.

"Duka, let's talk!"

Office, Nicolas Cage sat down and said.

"What are you talking about? Let me tell you in advance that I don't play in a band and I have no interest in singing."

Duca poured a cup of tea and handed it to Cage.

"Don't worry, I'm already past the age of playing in a band, and I'm not interested in singing. I'm looking for you for other reasons."

Nicolas Cage took out a script from his bag and it said "Black and White".

"What script?"

"It's a story about racial discrimination. Are you interested in investing?"

Cage put down the script and said.

"Are you going to be a producer? Why do you want to attract investment?"

Duca took the script and asked.

"No, this script was written by a friend of mine. I thought it was good after reading it, and I'm going to find someone to invest in it."

"Okay, let me see!"

Duca flipped through the script and read it. It was about a white thief who went to the house of a black star to steal something. When the white policeman was mistaken for a thief by the black house owner, he killed the real thief. Later, even the police chief found out that he had arrested the wrong person.

I don't want to correct it either.

The police chief planned to cause a shootout in which both men would die. The white thief and the black homeowner discovered the police chief's plot, and they joined forces to battle the local police in a battle of wits and courage.

It is a crime comedy movie.

The story is very interesting, but he has never read it and has no impression of it.

He thought for a moment and said, "Cage, will you participate? If you come to act, I am willing to invest."

Although he doesn't know how the movie's box office performance will be,

But Nicolas Cage was regarded as a box office elixir in the 1990s. If you work with him, you will most likely not lose money.

"Yes, the role of the white thief is good, I want to try it."

Cage laughed.

"Then it's settled. I will give the script to the production department and ask them to contact your screenwriter friend. If everything goes well, filming can start next year. I hope you will still have time next year."

"Wait a minute Duca, that friend of mine is not only a screenwriter, he also wants to be a director."

Nicholas Cage spread his hands and said, "You are in the industry and you know the current situation. It is not profitable to be a screenwriter. Now many screenwriters want to change careers and become directors."

"Another director who wants to be a screenwriter? Okay, I understand, being a screenwriter does not make money, and it is understandable if you want to change careers. You can ask that screenwriter friend to come over. If he is suitable, it will be no problem to let him be a screenwriter.

"

Duca smiled.

"Okay, I will definitely bring it."

Nicholas Cage smiled.

After talking about the script, Duca talked to him about movies again. Since "Wild at Heart" starring Nicolas Cage became popular last year, Cage has officially entered the first-line actor level. Now this guy's salary exceeds 3 million, and he has

There are also more roles.

"Cage, when we were playing cards last time, I heard Donnie say that you and Sarah were filming a gambling movie in Las Vegas?"

Duca asked while drinking tea.

Sarah is Robert Downey Jr.'s girlfriend, Sarah Jessica Parker, and she is also an A-list star.

"Yes, Honeymoon in Las Vegas is a romance film disguised as a gambling film. In addition, next year I will have "Super Gambler", a crime film related to gambling. I went to play cards at the same time.

Prepare for these two plays."

Nicolas Cage laughed.

"Sounds good, are you interested in making another gambling movie?"

Duca thought for a while and took the next script off the shelf.

"Oh, you want me to act in a play? Wait, Duca, you have agreed in advance. I am very picky about scripts. If it is not a good script, I will not shoot it. If the script is not good, you don't have to show it."

"Don't worry, our film company also selects scripts. If they are not high-quality scripts, we will not accept them."

Duca smiled and pushed the script over.

The first page of the script says "Escape from Las Vegas."

"Is it Las Vegas again?"

Nicolas Cage doesn't want to start the movie. He is currently filming "Honeymoon in Las Vegas" and there will be another "Gambler" next year. For the same type of movie, sometimes if you make too many movies, it will become...

Boring, thus forming physiological resistance.

"Let's take a look. This movie is adapted from the novel of the same name. It is disguised as a gambling movie to explore life, human nature, and emotions. The story is very profound, no worse than "Unruly Sky" and "Reservoir Dogs"."

Duca smiled.

"Really?"

Nicolas Cage opened the script with some curiosity.

"Escape from Las Vegas" is a script adapted from the novel of the same name. The author is John O'Brien, who is a Hollywood screenwriter. The story in the play is generally based on the author's own experience.

This script tells the story of a loser.

A Hollywood screenwriter with a low income lived a miserable life. Like most people who were confused in the 1980s, he drank and had sex every day, leading a miserable life. He was fired from the production company because he was not attentive enough to his work.

After losing his job, alcohol and promiscuity could no longer satisfy his spiritual emptiness, and he prepared to commit suicide. Before his death, he came to Las Vegas, preparing to die in this city of desire.

On the streets of the casino city, he accidentally met the prostitute Sarah. The two met, lived together, and gradually fell in love. In the end, the two redeemed each other and became a beam of light in each other's lives.

The script is really well written, the storyline is very touching, and the interpretation of the protagonist's emptiness and despair is very profound.

It's a good script.

It feels better and deeper than "Honeymoon in Las Vegas" and "Gambler".

Nicolas Cage held the script and frowned slightly.

"What, don't you like it?"

Duca was a little surprised. He remembered that Cage won the Oscar for Best Actor for this movie. How could he not like this movie?

Could it be that I took it out too early and was not in the right mood?

"Duka, this script is very good. But after reading this script, I feel that the two characters I'm playing now are a little less interesting. It would be great if you could come up with it earlier. I will definitely film this project first."

Nicolas Cage touched his chin and sighed.

Duka smiled and said, "Does that mean you like this script?"

"Of course, Duka, it's agreed that since you gave me the script, you can't find anyone else. I've decided to act in this script. If you dare to find someone else, we will break off our relationship."

Nicolas Cage put away the script and said.

"Haha, okay, when I saw the male lead in the script, the first actor that came to my mind was you, and the role will naturally be left to you."

Duca smiled.

"Haha, that's not bad."

After discussing the script, the two talked about card games again. Nicolas Cage has been busy filming recently and hasn't played cards in two or three months. Duca has also been busy recently and has no time to play cards. The two agreed to go together next week.

have a look.

——

After Cage left, Duca handed the script of "Black and White" to the production department and asked them to do a market survey to see when it would be better to film it, and then contact the director recommended by Nicolas Cage.

Contact Michael Bay and make a budget first.

After leaving the production department, he walked past Monica's office and took a sideways glance.

Monica was reading the script. She held her head up and flipped through the script on the table. Her long black curly hair was draped over her shoulders. It had been scratched several times and was a bit messy. She didn't know what she saw. She bit her red lips and nosed

He hummed, seeming a little unhappy with the script.

Duca smiled. After finishing other work during this period, Monica would take a lot of scripts from the production department and read them one by one, looking for interesting and investment-worthy scripts, such as "Escape from Las Vegas"
