Chapter 155: convince

"I watched Audrey's performance at the airport. From the first time I saw her, I knew she was a born actor. The script of" Roman Holiday "was tailor-made for her, and my The film company is not only planning to shoot this film for Audrey, there will be more opportunities to wait for her in the future, she will soon become the most popular female star in Hollywood and even the world! "Shen Long continued to persuade Road.
"I heard that you invited William Wheeler to direct the film?" Mrs. Hepburn asked. Although they now live in the Netherlands, Audrey Hepburn's childhood was spent in the British noble boarding school. Hepburn Mrs. also likes Britain very much. She has a natural trust in William Wheeler, who was born in England.
"Yes, the script has been refined. Mr. Wheeler liked it very much after reading it, and soon signed the contract." Shen Long prepared early and immediately took out the director's contract and project plan, which listed the project in detail above. The required funds, the composition of the main crew of the crew, and the shooting plan, etc.
"Two million dollars? Full color shooting? Still going to Rome on the spot?" All of this surprised Mrs. Hepburn. For an ordinary romance film, two million dollars is now costly to produce; full color Production and on-site framing will also increase costs. Most of the current films are black and white film and shot in the studio.
"Yes, two million dollars is only a preliminary plan. If there is a need in the later stage, we will increase the cost." It is only necessary to know that the big production film "Gone with the Wind" in previous years cost only five million dollars, compared to "Gone in the Wind", "Roman Holiday" hardly have a big scene, two million is enough.
In the original history, this film only cost one million dollars. Shen Long directly doubled the cost; the biggest regret of this film was that it was shot in black and white film, and he could n’t show all the charm of Hepburn. Shen Long will naturally fill this regret this time.
The color film technology is relatively mature now, "Gone with the Wind" established the first monument in the age of the color film eight years ago; after the success of "Gone with the Wind", Hollywood directors are also actively exploring the color film The various technologies are not a problem from a technical point of view.
"If you don't believe in the strength of my company, I can take you to Sicily to see, where another film is being filmed, starring Johnny himself." Shen Long moved out of Johnny Fang Tan again.
"Mom, at the airport that day, I did see Mr. Johnny Fang Tan." I have to admit that Johnny's reputation is still very useful at some point, Audrey Hepburn said immediately.
"But ... but Audrey has worked so hard for ballet for so many years!" Mrs. Hepburn had already moved, leaving only the last question.
"Actually, it doesn't take much time to shoot this movie. If Audrey wants to continue to work in ballet, I can recommend her to study at the American Ballet Theatre, where she can get a better education." One of the great ballet training institutions is far better than the school that Mrs. Hepburn looked for Audrey Hepburn.
"Or you want to go to Kirov Ballet Academy and Julia Conservatory!" These two schools are also among the top ten ballet training institutions, one in New York, one in Washington, and one in the United States in Chicago. My ballet school is also very good, but Chicago is too messy, Shen Long does not want Hepburn to encounter any danger.
"The tuition fees at these schools must be very high?" These schools are the existence of Mrs. Hepburn who had longed for but could not send Audrey Hepburn in, which is far better than the Mary-Lambert Ballet School where he was going to send Hepburn.
"You don't have to worry about this at all. The pay for" Roman Holiday "is enough to cover Audrey's tuition and the cost of her living in the United States." Shen Long gave the same generous to the pay.
"Thank you very much for giving us this opportunity, but I still have to think about it." Mrs. Hepburn stunned and did not immediately agree, but Shen Long knew this had become 80%.
The next day, Shen Long came to wait outside Hepburn ’s ballet school, picked her up and went to the local vegetable market, bought all the materials needed for dessert, and returned to Shen Long ’s temporary rental villa.
The two of them happily made various desserts in the kitchen together. Shen Long made her Dutch-style muffins, coke cakes, and Italian-style tiramisu, Sicilian cheese cakes. Speaking of desserts, Italy wants to Much better than the Netherlands.
Of course, Chinese dim sum is also indispensable. Shen Long made the Empress Dowager Cixi's favorite chestnut noodles, and pea yellow. These exotic desserts also made Audrey Hepburn obsessed.
After eating, Hepburn's face was covered with cream. Shen Long picked up the handkerchief and carefully wiped it off. Although there was still a thin layer of handkerchief, this physical contact accelerated Hepburn's heartbeat.
After eating dessert, Shen Long sent Audrey Hepburn home, and Mrs. Hepburn invited him in. She finally agreed to let Audrey Hepburn participate in the filming of "Roman Holiday".
Shen Long's hard work was not in vain, as long as the film began to be filmed, then he would have more chances to get along with Hepburn alone.
"Thank you very much for your support ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Shen Long took out another hole card with pleasure. This hole card was originally intended to be used after Mrs. Hepburn refused it.
"In order to thank you for your support, and for those children who love ballet like Audrey to have better learning opportunities, I decided to set up a special scholarship to support outstanding Dutch ballet students to go to the United States for further study. Children with outstanding talents who are unable to continue their studies due to financial reasons provide financial support; this scholarship might as well be named after you! "Shen Long said.
The purpose of this plan was to convince Mrs. Hepburn that she, who was born in a noble family, would not refuse this kind of thing that won a good reputation, and the second was to leave a good impression in Audrey Hepburn's heart.
He knew that Audrey Hepburn was a very caring girl. Because of her childhood experience, she was very passionate about children ’s philanthropy. She once served as a UNICEF caring ambassador and held fund-raising activities for poor children all over the world. Even in spite of the danger of war and infectious diseases, he personally visited those children in poor countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
"Fredo, you are such a caring person!" Audrey Hepburn's eyes looked different from Shen Long.
