Hollywood legendary director

Everyone had a very comfortable chat this day.

The good smell of tobacco leaves rising in the room.

Between a breath and a breath, it seemed to bring out the thoughts, carefully and slowly, watching a good script form in everyone's mind.

This is a kind of spiritual enjoyment, a collision of thoughts.Can meet but not ask for.

"Ah......"

Nolan is very happy, or everyone is very happy.

In the evening, we had dinner together and drank some wine before we went back separately.

In fact, Lehman doesn't take this project very seriously, even if it has a large investment.

After all, I work for Warner, and I just make money at the box office.

But if you can’t say it, it’s definitely a fake. If you throw in one or two billion, you have to get back your capital and return with interest deductions.

There is also the production of the sequel later, how can it be inserted.

Holding Nolan's director and script adaptation ideas, if it is really successful, Warner would not dare to change.

Anyway, this is the first one. Let’s try it out first, study it together, and have both entertainment and depth. To make fans like it, and let passers-by have a sense of substitution. Even if you are not a DC fan, you can like it. Achieved the goal.

Jonathan is also a qualified screenwriter. Don’t look at this man who has been taken by Nolan and was shrouded in Nolan’s halo, but he has a good foundation. The short stories he wrote are all in-depth, and he can grasp the promise. Lan's idea of ​​adaptation is not pretending to be sophisticated, but prefers to lean towards art. The so-called is neither trivial but grounded.

......

Early the next morning, Lehman had breakfast and drove to Firefly Pictures.

The "Batman" matter needs some time, but his own matter can also be put on the agenda.

In terms of actors, "Day Dreamer" has finalized a male lead and a male lead, and the remaining main roles are still missing the female lead and the male lead's mother.

The protagonist’s mother is simple, set at over fifty years old, but there are many "mother households" in Hollywood.

This time, Renee Russell was directly selected as the mother of the hero in the play.

She is a veteran actor, and she will also star in "Thor", the protagonist's mother Frigga.

Negotiations with her went very smoothly, and actresses of Renee Russell's age were not very popular to be honest.

Of course, acting is just a hobby. When he was young, he was the most popular cover model in the United States. Her husband Dan Gilroy is also a well-known screenwriter, so there is no need to worry about life.

As for her, she only took 150,000 yuan.

Jin-Kerry is very famous. Although he likes the script very much, his price has not been reduced much. He asked for a basic salary of 12 million plus a 3% box office share in North America.To be honest, it's still conscience.

As for Jean-Renault, he gave Renqing a cameo, and the reward was also 1.5 million dollars.

Calculated, the actor's expenditure has not been completed yet, and it has already spent 13.65 million US dollars.

Renee Russell had just been finalized here, and Lyman rushed to sign another actor without stopping.

In "Daydreamer", the heroine is a magazine editor and also the boss of the hero. She needs to be around 30 years old.

Thinking about it, just one person is right.

As for the previous life version, it was played by Christine Wegg, but what does she say now, she has never played a movie seriously.

She was originally a renunciation, and she has always been a comedy screenwriter. She was responsible for the copy editor and design of "Weekend Night Live".

This is behind the scenes, so you can't go directly to the stage.

......

Santa Monica Coffee Shop.

A woman with shoulder-length hair and short hair was stirring the coffee in her cup silently, looking up at the window from time to time.

"Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, and it was delayed."

As soon as Lyman walked into the cafe, he saw Hilary Swank by the window.

Without him, it is still noon, and there are really very few people in the cafe.

Hillary stood up immediately, smiled and said: "It's okay, I just arrived."

Lehman looked at the coffee that had been half drunk on the table. Although he knew he was insincerely polite, he sat down calmly.

This role needs a very mature woman to play.

Originally, Lyman wanted to let Kate Beckinsale try it. After all, he knew only a few actresses. His own witch Eva was not suitable for her appearance, too charming and too young.

But Kate Beckinsale, a classically imperial elder sister fan, does not seem to match the profession of a magazine editor.

After thinking about it, I gave up.You can't have a good impression of her, just hold it.That's not realistic.

On the contrary, Hilary Swank has the acting skills, looks ordinary, and has a heroic spirit, which is very suitable for workplace roles.

Thinking about it this way, instead of relying on her face to eat, she has become an advantage?

After all, most of the actresses in Hollywood sell their faces. When it comes to acting... it's better to talk about beauty and figure.

In addition, the change of actresses is very fast.

Generally speaking, after an actress is over 30 years old, she will either disappear quickly without a trace, or she will have to transform, or become a "mother household" or rely on superb performance to avoid being eliminated by the circle.

"Vase" is the restraint of female stars by male audiences and Hollywood as a whole.

On the contrary, it is an actor who will become more and more popular after he is 30 years old.

The unequal resources and status, it is no wonder that feminists have been used to criticize the entertainment industry.

Of course, this is not something Lehman is worried about.

He only took out a script from his briefcase and handed it to Hilary Swank.

When he asked her out, he had already talked about the play appointment.

Hillary remained as usual, doing nothing all day.

Since returning from Cannes, she has fallen into an endless loop of looking for crews everywhere.

It looks very busy, but it's all in a hurry.

At this moment, she is still very pleased with the invitation of Director Lyman.

With this feeling, she glanced through the script of the role she was about to play.

"Can I ask, how long does it take to film this movie?"

Apparently, she agreed.

Lehman thought for a while. The preliminary preparations for "Batman" still need him to stare at, so he said: "It is estimated that we will wait until July to start shooting. I will notify you in advance if you are willing to pick up this movie. With that period of time vacant, it would take about two to three months for shooting, which is very troublesome for shooting.

"Well, I got it."

No accident, Hilary Swank easily agreed.

Her salary didn't go up too much, because the role of this drama must be less than that of "Million Dollar Baby". After thinking about it with her agent, she gave us $1.2 million.

At this point, the main lineup of this play is much higher than that of the previous life.

Kim Carey, Jean Reynolds, Hilary Swank... are all acting.Awesome.
