Hollywood legendary director

It was another usual day, with cars coming and going on the road.

A Volkswagen pulled over and turned off neatly, and two people got down from above.

One of them was carrying a briefcase, glanced at the business building in front of him, and found the name and floor of Firefly Pictures from a pile of hanging nameplates. After making sure that they were correct, he said to the other: "On the third floor, let's go up. ."

There was an appointment at the front desk, and the staff took them to the reception room.

The two looked at each other, looking at the empty scene, and had to find a place to sit down.

These two are naturally sent out invitations to be the actor Christian Bell in "New York Trip" and his agent Mike.

Later, an assistant brought two more cups of coffee.

The two took it politely, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.

Upstairs, in Lehman's office, he and Zha Dao were meeting a few others.

In the original version of "Travel to Busan", there is a pair of lovers, who are looking for two traffic stars to play the role, which can provide topicality and save money.

Therefore, he also plans to find two singers to perform.

One of them is a young girl who is also a newcomer to be promoted by DefJam Records; the other is a member of the Coldplay team who has worked together. Their album "yellow" was also selected as a background song by "Micro Love" , The two are fairly familiar.

"Miss Rihanna, don't you? Please sit down." Lyman said with a smile.

She stood there, always looking restrained.

With a refreshing dress and her baby face, she is more youthful and beautiful at the age of 17.

Rihanna glanced at her agent. After sitting down, she looked at Lyman and Zach Schneider curiously.

She is just a little girl from an ordinary family who loves singing.

It was a very accidental encounter for her to debut and enter the American pop music industry.

At that time, a famous music producer in the industry went to a small island in the Caribbean Sea, her hometown for vacation.

One of Rihanna's elders took her to meet with the producer. The producer thought she had a good voice and a talent for singing, and then recommended her to the current music company to sign.

It can be said that she is just a pure newcomer in the music industry. She has not even released an album and only recorded two singles.

Although the company has decided to help her invite songs, but I don't know when I can release my own album.

It was also yesterday that a film company suddenly invited her to make a movie. She didn't need to think about it, so she agreed excitedly.

Of course, Lehman didn't know about this. He just sent out a request for cooperation to several record companies in the industry at the same time, which finally impressed DefJam.

The reason DefJam Records is so proactive is that they want to borrow the heat. They really plan to support Rihanna. The "70 million big production" plus Lehman's own name are important considerations, and maybe they can also With the release of the movie, Rihanna's screen exposure was increased.

This is also the hidden value of successful people, and many people will rush to seek a win-win cooperation.

"Miss Rihanna, this is your script."

When the other party took it, Lehman told her agent again: "If there is no problem, the filming of "New York Tour" is expected to start at the end of April and end in mid-July. What does she have in the intervening months? Question?"

"No problem, no problem." The agent nodded heavily.

"In terms of salary, given that she has not had any acting qualifications, Miss Rihanna does not have many roles. We negotiated and gave her $15,000. Of course, her filming tasks are not heavy, just because the roles are scattered. ."

"Fifteen thousand dollars?" Rihanna on the side pretended to be reading the script, but she did not put her mind on it at all. Instead, she had been paying attention to the discussions between the agent and Lehman and others. Hearing this number, she couldn't help but Just a little happy.

Alas, is it a pure newcomer? No matter what kind of circle she is in, the salary is always low. Even if her music company is willing to pay some resources to train, but before that, she has not brought any benefits to the company, and her life is not easy.

As for the agent, the idea is simpler. Anyway, they didn't plan to let Rihanna develop together. It doesn't matter whether the money is more or less.Simply and neatly let Rihanna sign the performance contract.

The remaining lead singer of Coldplay, Chris Martin, although his music career is developing fairly well, acting is also the first time in his life.

In addition to novelty, it is novelty, people are not bad at money, and more generous.

The contract was signed after paying only $20,000.

The two in the original version are not as popular as the two currently selected.

The cost of the actors can also be further compressed, freeing up shooting space, which can kill two birds with one stone.

After several people exchanged contracts, Lehman was in a good mood.

Called the assistant again and politely sent people away.

After a while, the assistant ran to report again, saying that the actor who invited him had arrived and was waiting in the reception room, asking Lyman if he wanted to meet.

Lehman nodded, led the guide, and followed the assistant to the reception room on the third floor.

I saw Christian Bale and his agent sitting on the sofa.

When the two saw someone coming in, they immediately stood up.

Christian Bale looked at a few of them curiously, while agent Mike nodded slightly and smiled.

"The temperament is really good." Zha Dao leaned over and said in a low voice.It seems to be very satisfied.

Lehman coughed slightly, and said first: "Presumably you also know about the new role."

Then he pointed to Zach Schneider and introduced: "He is the director of this project."

"Hello, Director Zha, I'm Christian Bell, and this is my agent." Christian Bell took the initiative to reach out and greeted politely.

After a few people shook hands, Lehman said again: "If you want to join the crew, you will need to gain muscle in the next few days. You are too thin."

At this time, Christian Bell only finished filming "The Mechanic". For that role, the character setting of a severely insomnia patient, the body shape needs to become skinny.He immediately lost more than 50 catties in two weeks, equivalent to one-third of his original body weight (at that time, he was nearly 170 catties).

Even if the movie had been filmed for more than a month, he still could not fully recover.

Therefore, people seem to be much thinner than the average middle-aged person of this height.

"I will. I have been gaining muscle lately, and it is not a problem to get back into shape." Christian Bell said quickly.

He cherishes this hard-won opportunity very much.

And he originally wondered why he was the only person in the guest room, but now it seems that he has no competitors.

Is it luck?he does not know.
