It's so simple, it's not difficult at all, and you can charge a high price, we Chinese not only know how to eat, not only how to cook, but also how to do business.

Takeshi Iwata now...

"Gary, you can just call me Iwata, then, let's get into the topic, shall we?"

"Oh, Iwata, don't you think it's a little fast?"

It should be said that the two of them have been introduced by Keanu Reeves, and now they have dinner together. They have already passed the stage of greetings, and there is no problem in directly entering the topic.

But obviously, this guy Gary wanted to say something more.

What does he want to say?

The smile on Iwata Takeshi's face has not diminished, he is very straightforward.

"It's a TV show, right?"

When Gary heard this, he couldn't help but nodded... Well, he must admit that the experience of seeing Takeshi Iwata is much worse than meeting Keanu Reeves.

This guy in front of him is the gold medal killer in the movie, right?

However, he is already a great director.

Takeshi Iwata didn't think too much at all, he guessed very accurately now, or he didn't mean to guess what the other party was thinking at all, and the reason why he appeared was naturally prepared long ago.

"What if you shoot a TV series at the level of a movie?"

As soon as these words came out, Gary Oldman was stunned.

This……

That's right, this is actually Takeshi Iwata's trump card!

That's how he's going to solve it, which is, we're doing a TV show, but we're also making a movie.

First of all, in this 1993, no one would have such an idea at all.

Can TV shows be like movies?

No really, no one has ever done that before.

Takeshi Iwata knew very well in his heart that the person who really did this was called Spielberg.

Band of Brothers.

In later generations, many people have commented on "Band of Brothers", thinking that it is too amazing, too awesome, there is such a powerful TV series, American Hollywood yyds.

I have to admit that this is indeed a very well-made TV series. Moreover, the actors who played this TV series became popular later on, and even small roles became popular later on.

It can be called "Soldier Assault" of Hollywood in the United States.

Oh...seems like the relationship is a bit reversed, but don't worry about that detail.

but!

How much does an episode of Band of Brothers cost?

1 million US dollars, it has not stopped yet.

What else is there to say about this investment?

Every episode is a movie.

In fact, this "Band of Brothers" is Spielberg's big profit from the movie "Saving Private Ryan"... Most people don't know much about it. Spielberg's income from this movie is about 10 billion US dollars. Don't just look at the box office.

So, with the big profits ahead, then just make such a TV series later.

The budget is of course unlimited.

And the success of this TV series has brought about this trend.

The investment in the production of TV series is getting bigger and bigger, and the single episode is not even lost to the movie at all.

Now in 1993, no one would have thought of such a big deal.

Who would use the method of filming or invest in filming TV series?

Ever since, Gary Oldman was directly shocked.

So, next...

"The first shot, it's in my head, I really want to tell you about it."

"please say."

"It's simple, I'm going to shoot a pair of pants."

"Pants?"

"Yes, it's your pants."

"My pants?"

Gary Oldman's whole person has changed now, he no longer has the same nervousness as before, he just thinks that the Japanese director in front of him is too fucking awesome.

What scene did Iwata Supervisor say?

The first shot is this first one.

A pair of khaki pants that are very common in the United States. These pants are very common, and most of the people who wear these pants are middle class.

However, the pants flew.

Yes, it just flew, flew up, high, and then slowly fell down, right in front of the owner of the pants.

The pants are flying, so what does the owner look like?

Bald head, blood, wounds... The owner of these pants is wearing a pair of underwear now.

Very ugly.

And he had a gun in his hand.

When Takeshi Iwata explained the first shot to Gary Oldman in detail, this nervous guy immediately...

"I think, I should have survived the catastrophe, so I should be a little lucky, but the danger is obviously not over yet."

In an instant, he gave an expression, releasing a strange message from his eyes.

Iwata Takeshi immediately felt that he had found the right person.

"You are old white."

Well, Gary Oldman wanted to escape because the famous supervisor Takeshi Iwata saw it.

"awesome!"

In this way, "Breaking Bad" has a male protagonist.

As for the rest...

Takeshi Iwata said, "If possible, Uma Thurman can also play the role, no problem."

As soon as the words came out, Gary Oldman rolled his eyes, "That bitch is a damn fairy, what do you think a fairy can play?"

This……

Hmm, Gary Oldman and Uma Thurman have been married for more than a year, and they are about to leave...

……

Chapter 347 Is this "Breaking Bad" or "Titanic"?

Sometimes it's like this, people's joys and sorrows don't make sense.

In this year, when the couple Gary Oldman and Uma Thurman appear in public, it is like the premiere of "Frightening 400 Years" before.

It even makes people think that the two of them are a couple made in heaven, a golden boy and a jade girl.

It's just that, for Gary Oldman, the hairline has already been raised.

Just like Count Dracula, the ancestor of vampires.

However, even so, it is estimated that no one will think that there is a huge problem between the golden couple.

In fact, the two of them met in "Love in Juneflower", but at that time, the role of Gary Oldman was almost negligible.

Uma Thurman actually has a very good family background, an absolute rich class.

Gary Oldman is much worse, as if after "Loving Juneflower", he also starred in "The Assassination of Kennedy" by the great director Oliver Stone.

Well, it's a blockbuster, but Gary is playing the assassin.

Absolutely, Gary Oldman never imagined that in the future on our Chinese Internet, the stalk of "joyful people" would appear.

Of course, it is even more impossible to imagine it. Can we still make a game like "Showa America Story"?

In a parallel time and space, relying on its strong economic strength, the United States has become a colony of Japan...

This can no longer be said to be an open mind.

But to be honest, for this assassination, there are many versions of conspiracy theories here in the United States, many of which are beyond our imagination.

For example, maybe aliens are the masterminds.

And the most publicized one is... Castro.

Hmm, this must be some department's propaganda, but Operation Bay of Pigs is really too piggy.

Well, let's forget about wormy politics.

Gary Oldman chatted a lot with Takeshi Iwata, though, and the guy with strong-man tendencies fell in love with him in the very first shot of Breaking Bad.

But let's talk more.

In the subsequent scenes, Takeshi Iwata also said a lot.

For example, since a pair of pants flew into the sky at the beginning, then of course this TV series will use flashbacks.

So, how did this guy, Lao Bai, gradually degenerate into a big drug lord, Lao Bai?

This is what Takeshi Iwata thinks.

First of all, he will use the lens to show the Nobel Prize medal, but this medal will be in the shadow position.

Lao Bai's shots at the beginning were all frontal.

By lighting, that is, white light without dead ends, Lao Bai is in a bright and positive state.

And wait until his life changes.

It is a step-by-step change.

For example, Lao Bai's teaching career has problems.

Then, I will give some more side faces.

That is, he is no longer in that kind of front and light, and there are already shadows coming up.

Then, for example, he was diagnosed with cancer.

At least half of the face is in shadow.

Yes, this is the shadow theory commonly used in movies... Indeed, as Xu Zheng said, this method can make the airport rough.

The old white face will also appear more three-dimensional because of this change in light and shadow.

When Takeshi Iwata speaks out these ideas, and tells how he will compose the picture, how and how.

Gary Oldman doesn't feel like it's just a TV show anymore.

"If it really succeeds, then... I mean, this TV series is much better than the movie, no, I, I don't know what to say for a while."

I'm afraid this guy has even forgotten about complaining about his old shop Uma Thurman. He really wants to play Lao Bai right away.

Takeshi Iwata knew this would be the result, so next...

"That's it for the plot. For the other characters, I want to ask for your opinion."

Other characters! ?

That's right, didn't I mention Uma Thurman before.

There is such a subtext in Takeshi Iwata's words.

Simply, you and your wife will play a couple in my TV series together.
