Hollywood legendary director

Twentieth Century Fox's office.

Roland Emmerich sat there with a few people.

Two of them are executives from the Fox production department, the other is from the company's legal department, and there is an executive from Lionsgate.

As for why people from Lionsgate can get in, it's because the film is a collaboration between the two companies.

In other words, Roland Emmerich’s studio first signed a contract with Lionsgate, and then asked Twentieth Century Fox for the release.

At this time, Lionsgate was rich in wealth and wanted to open up a world in Hollywood. They also knew that money alone might not work, so they wanted to win over Twentieth Century Fox and use its distribution channels to first have a guarantee.

As for profits, of course they take the big shots, they make small ones, wait until the time is right, and then slowly become independent-it's the same idea that Lehman had made.

At this moment, after everyone said hello.

One of the executives went straight to the subject, "We expect to shoot this movie for about 3 months. The role of Amy Rosen will have more than one-third of the scene. She is not too short of time on the screen, and she is also the heroine in the movie. If Eva Green is going to perform, we also think it is good after the audition, but the initial investment of the project is too much, the various special effects shots cost a lot, and the budget is somewhat insufficient, and the salary may not be too high."

After talking about their considerations slowly, they took out a contract and vomited out the number, "200,000 dollars, paid in one lump sum."

Calculated according to the rules of the actor industry in Hollywood, actresses of the same grade are born to be paid lower than male actors.Don't say anything about the role, just low.This can be regarded as an obscure thing in Hollywood.After all, in this circle, almost all men with real power.Like directors, producers, photographers, and even field affairs, most of them are men, so naturally the status of women will be naturally low.

Then, as a newcomer who has just debuted for two years, Eva Green has not appeared in many works, but it is not too small. The salary has been stable at about 100,000 (supporting role, less drama), but this will be "The drama is too much, and if you give 200,000 US dollars, it's a bit low.

"One million, paid twice. Gentlemen, you may not know that Eva appeared in the new work "Micro Love" directed by Lehmann. At that time, the film was paid 450,000, and the film was roughly regarded as the heroine. So, 200,000 is a bit too low."

The few people present really didn't know about Eva's role in "Micro Love". After all, it was still in a confidential stage. Although the post-production was completed, the schedule had not been set yet and the promotion had not yet begun.

After knowing it, I was a little delighted.Why, if actors are hot, it is a good thing for movies.

After they talked a little bit, one of them said: "One million will definitely not work, it is beyond our budget. Up to 500,000."

"700,000?"

"Okay." After all, people's conditions are here, and new movies will be released. If you want to catch a car, you have to give something.

After arguing, several senior executives of Twentieth Century Fox asked the employees of the Legal Department to draw up a contract for acting. Johnson called Eva in again. After agreeing to be correct, the two parties signed their names and sealed their official seals.In duplicate, each included.

......

In the car, Johnson held the steering wheel smoothly.

Eva sat in the back seat, chattering to Lehman.Very happy appearance.

Before, she really thought about saying goodbye to the showbiz and staying at ease if Lehman agreed.Can't act anymore.

Only when the role is finalized can I feel relieved.I also know that Lyman didn't have that plan, but took the initiative, so let alone the joy in his heart.

As for those who are not paid, they didn't care.

After all, at the beginning, she still took three or four thousand dollars.Now that it has risen to 700,000, what else is not enough.

"Hey, do you know who I saw when I just auditioned?"

"Who," Lehman agreed.

"Jack Gyllenhaal, the one who played the opposite scene with me. We haven't seen each other since we finished "Micro Love". I didn't expect that we would meet in the audition room of "The Day After Day", and I watched After the script, I found out that the role he wanted to try was quite similar to my role in the movie. I don’t know if he chose it."

"Well, it will definitely be selected."

"how do you know."

"Fate?"

Haha, Jack Gyllenhaal is the second generation in the circle. His own strength lies there. The pay is relatively low compared to the male actors of the same grade. It is also the one with low special effects. Roland Emmerich is the director of special effects. Very smart, knows how to use all kinds of resources, how can I not choose him.

Of course, these do not need to be analyzed with Eva.

Seeing she is still talking about the role.

Lehman turned his head to look at her, only to feel that the whole person was glowing, and it had changed greatly from the humble image a few days ago.

She is willing to sacrifice, he is not willing.

It's fine now, isn't it.

Thinking about it carefully, I also became happy.

Lyman rubbed her hair and smiled: "This is a rare opportunity, you have to behave well." I'm not by your side, you have to be confident and proud.

"I understand, but this character doesn't have much lines, and he has to wear a thick coat and hat. Is this expressive?" She pursed her lips and asked Lehman.

"Don't think about it. Although the appearance of a character has a lot to do with the lines and image formation, it is not absolute. You can perform that temperament, and no one will be picky. You think, see Amy Rosen When New York was surrounded by floods, the world fell into the Little Ice Age, and natural disasters continued, so I must be very scared. But in her bones she is a strong person, not delicate, so no matter how scared she is, she can't be too revealing. Do you understand?"

"Fear and strong, take a measure, right."

"Well, in the performance, you can add some small gestures to show her fear, but in terms of her expression, she can be as calm and not panic as possible. Contradictory psychology and demeanor.

To be honest, Lehman really thinks this character is a good match for Eva.

They are all people who have that kind of feminine temperament in their bones.

Moreover, "The Day After Acquired" is a pure special effects disaster blockbuster with a simple plot. It really doesn't require much deep and impressive acting skills.

What, there was a flood, what, the temperature dropped sharply.

All Americans needed to flee Mexico for refuge. A group of protagonists were trapped in New York because they did not evacuate in time. A group of people went to rescue.

In short, the plot is very bloody, and what can be seen is the reappearance of the realistic doomsday scenes that were thrown out with money.

It's exaggerated, shocking, and eye-catching. Young audiences will definitely like it.

As for the acting skills of the actors, it is not that important. This is why the first-line project of "The Day After Tomorrow" with a production cost of 130 million US dollars does not find a big star to bear the box office or publicity.Because there is no need, special effects are enough. What big-name actors are needed? Isn't the idle money enough?

Therefore, the addition of Eva is definitely the icing on the cake. It is suitable in all aspects. It is not too much to say that it is the actor who crushed the original.
