The music scene was niche after all. Once it was hyped up, nobody cared anymore. Soone had provoked the tycoon, and he just showed them who's boss.
He could afford to be reckless, but the record industry had big trouble on their hands. Watching the rising costs, a few moguls were about to pay through the nose.
Along with the hype was William White's new movie. His scripts were always reliable, but this ti the budget was a bit high. Was he tired of low-budget films and planning to venture into big productions?
His low-budget films were already this impressive. If he started making big productions, the major film studios would be in for a headache. As for the flops, nobody cared about their fate.
White Films' casting directors got busy. To make it here, you'd better be careful. If you aren't sure, don't reach out recklessly.
"Handso guys and pretty girls, huh? Boss, your requirent is too simple. If this got out, half of Hollywood would be in an uproar. What about acting skills? How co you didn't ask for it?"
"This guy is just being fussy. With such conditions, the lead roles would all be newbies. This is practically a golden opportunity."
Such explosive news couldn't be hidden for long. If it were another company, people might think it was a scam. But not now. Their reputation was reliable.
What's wrong with newcors? Aren't all of White Films' actors newcors?
So said White Films used a lot of newcors because of budget considerations. Without acting skills, you can't guarantee artistic quality.
Just like their boss, White Films' employees were also harsh. If you want to watch educational films, head left out the door.
William White was about to graduate. He could ss around for now, but later, it might not be suitable again.
No matter how the moral crusaders grumbled, William White's movie was hot before it was even fild.
"White Films succeeded because we brought everyone joy. That was my initial purpose for making movies. If you learn well from a movie, believe , you were already a good person. If you turn bad, I'm sorry, you'd turn bad even if you didn't watch the movie. Life is already tough enough. If watching a movie makes life even tougher, why watch?" William White expressed to reporters who wouldn't stop asking questions.
The quick shooting pace of White Films was mainly because the boss was rich and didn't have noisy investors.
As for whether William White wanted to collaborate, that's a non-issue. If you had the right project, of course, he'd be interested. He doesn't refuse investnt, nor does he refuse collaboration.
If a company from Hong Kong could work with him, then there was no problem with other clients. The key is what project you have or what attracts his investnt.
...
The supporting roles got sorted quickly, but the leads remained undecided. It was clear who would be suitable.
"Lucas, are you kidding? What kind of deal is five million? You're too wild. Can I pay in yen?"
"Count in for 15% of the investnt. I'll handle the special effects."
"That's even worse. 10%, take it or leave it. Would you believe, I can sell this three-million investnt for five million?"
"Darn it, you're tough. I'm in."
"Hmph, old fox, next ti I'll start my own effects company."
Lucas didn't care. He knew it was nonsense. William White was too lazy. If he wanted a special effects company, he would have done it long ago.
"Thirty million? Wow, you're really willing to spend. There aren't any big-na actors in this."
"Can't afford big nas. Look at this script. So many big scenes, these cost money. Look at this, and this."
"Oh my, airplanes? Subways? What are you planning?"
"Ha ha, exciting, right?"
"You're a lunatic."
"Thank you, I'm honored."
William White didn't mind collaborations. One person can't earn all the money. The key is what you can offer. Empty promises won't do.
Got money?
Let's talk when you have more than .
William White didn't know he'd soon have a cash headache. Who knows why he was showing off. Maybe NBC wasn't much, but Disney was leaking money everywhere. If cost-cutting was all they did, they wouldn't survive.
...
Seeing beautiful people every day, William White got tired of it. So, the casting director had more work. He had to choose the right people for William, as the boss didn't participate, only using photos.
The boss's taste was hard to figure out. His team was running nonstop. But none the less, William White had a good eye. Sharon Stone, whom he didn't care much about at first, beca increasingly charming. How did he not notice?
William White tried to be lazy, but people kept seeking trouble. So now, he had a record company and an MTV station. Really don't get it, can't you guys cooperate a bit?
"How's the script?"
"Absolutely thrilling."
"It seems he trusts you; didn't take back the script."
"Ha ha, rumors were exaggerated. The guy's not that hard to deal with. Just don't backstab him. If you shalessly ask, he won't mind."
"Heh heh, it's true."
