"I would love to!"
This kind of opportunity is rare for Patrice.
Even if there is no benefit, he is willing to do it, just for a chance to contact the other party.
…
Huth nodded with a smile, patted the passenger seat, and signaled the driver to drive.
Feeling the Bentley beneath him slowly start up, Patrice also didn't care about his car. Instead, he looked at Hut calmly, waiting for the next conversation of this knight.
…
It's a little different from Allen.
Allen may be indifferent to some ordinary people, and he doesn't even bother to pretend, but sometimes, such as with some crew members of the crew, Allen's attitude towards them is still very kind.
But that is not the case with Huth.
He usually seems to be smiling at everyone, but this is just a professional fake smile. When at home, any male and female servants in the house who make any small mistakes will be severely criticized by Butler Hut.
If you are too kind, you will lose your authority.
The knighthood medal awarded just a few days ago has made Huth mentally unstable.
This has nothing to do with age, knowledge, or cultivation.
After struggling for half a lifetime, he finally got the title in middle age. This feeling is something that most people cannot understand.
So, when facing Patrice, Huth naturally felt a sense of superiority.
He first asked Patrice if he was willing to serve the Count, but what for?
It’s not too late to tell him after he finishes speaking.
Now seeing Patrice so eager to make progress, Hut signaled the driver to drive first and talked as they drove.
…
Along the way, Hut first introduced himself as if he was chatting with a friend, and then had a brief exchange with Patrice about some professional knowledge about the film industry that he had been cramming in the past few days.
Since the young master has given him the task, he must complete it well. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, just ask someone who knows!
This Patrice Carmen was one of Huth's carefully selected targets.
first……
This person has a very good resume, and there are no dishonest people in his recent generations, such as criminals or those with bad records.
Secondly, Patrice himself has a decent appearance, not the ugly type.
The person who serves as an advisor to the Earl does not need to be very good-looking, but at least he must have the temperament and an above-average appearance. This is the most basic requirement!
Finally, I came to the professional field.
Patrice Carmen worked as an actor when she was young. Although she was never a big star, she was still considered a "creamy boy".
Later, he did not continue to develop in the field of interpretation, but turned to the study and further study of theoretical knowledge.
He has studied at professional film schools in France, the United States and other countries, and later had experience as a visiting teacher at film and television schools in Italy and Germany.
In the past few years, he has often served as a judge in awards such as the British Academy Film Awards and the French César Awards.
Such a resume can be said to be very impressive, and it was because of such a resume that he was recruited to be a teacher at the National Academy of Film and Television.
Such a person, even if he has no experience in post-production and distribution of films, he definitely can do it!
…
"Recently... Your Excellency wants to make some moves in the film industry and needs a consultant. I have also done some research on your abilities, but your true level has yet to be verified. Now... I have a small test for you."
"I am always waiting for your orders."
"hehe……"
Looking at the impatient Patrice, Huth smiled and said, "Don't worry, Patrice. You can go home and pack up first, say hello to your family, and report to the manor within three days. This is my business card."
…
Patrice took the business card handed to him by Huth with both hands.
What three days?
He didn't want to wait even a day longer.
Three days is 72 hours. How many people will Hut meet during this period? He doesn't know, but...what if someone snatches this opportunity away?
This is an opportunity to get close to an earl, and it's an advisory position!
"Sir Hutt, I don't think I need to wait that long, I can go now!"
…
"Haha, Mr. Patrice's enthusiasm is really touching. Well, there's no time wasting. Why don't you go back and tell your wife first? I'll wait for you here."
Hutt watched as Patrice pointed out the car window.
Patrice was stunned and turned to look out the car window, only to find that the car had stopped in front of his house without him noticing!
"!!!"
In the Western world, everyone attaches great importance to the protection of privacy.
But the other party just met him today, and not only was he able to bring him to his door very naturally, but he also knew accurately that his wife was at home. Think about what this means?
This is the strength!
How can ordinary people have such means?
"Okay! Sir, please wait for a moment. I'll go back and tell you and I'll be right back."
Patrice touched his chest gently and saluted again before opening the car door and getting out.
…
In the dim screening room, Hutt personally accompanied Patrice. The two had been sitting there for nearly three hours, and the film on the screen was nearing its end.
This is a rough cut of the film that was made in a hurry.
How thick...
There is not even any dubbing, it is all original sound, and the whole film is an exaggerated 180 minutes long.
It looks like all the movie footage was put together and played in a hurry.
When the lights in the screening room came back on, Hut looked at Patrice expectantly and asked, "Tell me about your evaluation of this rough cut. Is there any room for this film to work?"
“…”
Thinking that the test was coming, Patrice's face became very solemn. He did not rush to answer Hut's question, but closed his eyes and thought about it first.
As a teacher at a film and television academy who also served as a professional judge in the past, evaluation cannot be based on first impressions. Instead, one must first silently recall the plot in one's mind, and then review it again to see if there are any omissions.
"Jazz... In my opinion, this film is completely meaningless, boring and long! The overall structure is also problematic!"
"As we all know, a movie, whether it is a commercial movie or an art movie, has a common core story structure."
"But...I didn't see much of it in this film."
“The overall narrative style is too bland.”
“And the footage was too crude and rough.”
…
Hut nodded as he listened. Although he didn't know much about movies, he had made up for it in the past few days by catching up on some professional knowledge.
The young master had never learned this knowledge before, he was very sure of that.
And this film, as Patrice said, is very straightforward, with a flat narrative without any ups and downs.
To put it bluntly, the story is about a widowed woman who saw an advertisement in the newspaper, bought a boat ticket, hurried on her journey, arrived at her destination, picked a black duck, went to a hotel, acted pretentiously, and finally achieved her goal.
Although the young master also said in the end that he had achieved a certain level of emotional sublimation in the end of the film.
But... Hut really couldn't see where it was sublimated.
Is ** also considered sublimation?
Isn't this what Black Duck is supposed to do?
Forgive him for being too old to understand what young people are thinking.
