Hollywood legendary director

A director sees an actor in a subtle way.

If it happens to be a married man and woman, maybe you can pull out a paragraph of love story that can tell you three days and three nights.

Unfortunately, Christian Bale is a man.

Then there is nothing but suitable.

Perhaps in Nolan's mind, he has a preliminary and self-defined image of Bruce Wayne. It just so happens to meet an actor.

In this play, the most important thing is the male lead.

In this way, the situation of mixing sand is not so serious.

In other words, the weight of the role is too heavy, and even the people at Warner dare not accept favors and push an actor into the final audition.

They are measured and cautious.

They also know that when the general supporting role is given, it is also given. When the conditions are the same, or when the choice is not different, it is okay to use the power of casting for some benefits.

Warner is very strong, but it doesn't mean that people like them are in great need of Warner.

If they are, they will not enter the crew all the way, and they will be busy.

Just because they know their position very clearly, they have a lot of worries about casting roles like Batman.

Therefore, everyone who can leave a place in a company of Warner's size is human.

So they pushed an Irish film and television actor named Cillian Murphy in the casting of Scarecrow, but in the casting of Bruce Wayne, they did not pay attention to it, and looked like business.

Christian Bale ranked second in this audition, competing with Ashton Kutcher, David Brunners and Hugh Dancy.

The former is the actor of "Butterfly Effect" and the most popular actor voted by American teenagers this year (similar to the college film festival). He is tall and has a tough face. He is a traditional American handsome guy; David is also American. A film and television actor, his achievements in TV dramas are better than those in movies. The only reason he can participate in the audition is that he is also very handsome.

Bruce Wayne has to be attractive, as it should be.

In addition to temperament, looking at the face must be the audience's first impression.

The last Hugh Dancy is similarly handsome, but in fact, they have their own characteristics.

It stands to reason that it is difficult to choose a more attractive person from a group of handsome people.

However, there weren't many twists and turns during the audition.

When Christian Bale put on his costume and walked into the audition room, Nolan caught him in a glance.Better than handsome, he must be slightly inferior to the others, at least Ashton Kutcher's looks are too good to play.But as far as the temperament of the character is concerned, the other few have to go a little further, all are younger brothers.

But Nolan silently watched all the performances of the four, and then recommended Christian Bell as Batman for the first time.

At this time, whoever has the right idea has become a prominent point.

Lyman naturally supported Nolan’s choice. Although the other three hesitated a little, they promised to submit the audition results and video to the top Warner executives, putting Christian Bale’s name first to show them. Choice tendency.

After all, they will have to work together for several months in the future, and there is no need to make the relationship too stiff.

To think carefully is to think carefully, and in the face of the overall situation, it can still be distinguished.

For a while, everyone reached a tacit understanding.

Then, the Warner producer submits the audition results.

Then, Warner's senior management will find that the casting of the crew is still very particular, well-founded and convincing.

Sure enough, those senior executives respected the casting results of the audition and notified them to sign a performance contract with the actors as soon as possible.

When things have reached this point, everyone in the crew has their own interests.

Lyman and Nolan won the two most important roles in the play; the three producers got the most supporting roles, almost the role of the show is more than the dragon set, and the characters who can show their faces were "donated" by them as favors. ; Warner also got an old drama and popular actors to drive fans. It needs a perfect lineup of traffic, flow, and acting skills.

It can be said that everyone is happy.

As for signing, no actor will give up the opportunity to star in a masterpiece, but the popular theme "Batman".

In this passive state of mind, although there were twists and turns in salary negotiations, they all quickly reached a consensus.

And the continuous collection agreement was also signed.

It is impossible for Warner to leave an opportunity for people to sit down and raise prices.

In other words, if the film is successful, the salary increase is okay, but it cannot be excessive. It must be within a certain range.

Capitalists, take precautions.

And in many people's minds, they don't want to replicate the "Spider-Man" hit market release situation-everyone is a super British movie, Batman's audience is not much better than Spider-Man.

As for the failed copy of The Hulk, it was subconsciously ignored.

"President Lyman, look."

Black Kerr took the detailed contract signed by Christian Bale and handed it to him.

The two are fairly familiar with each other, and after reading the starring contract carefully, they nodded slightly.

It was roughly as he expected.

Christian Bale has no shortage of qualifications and has worked in the independent niche film circle for a long time.

When starring in "New York Trip", the salary was about three million dollars, plus a part of the box office incentive share.

As for now, the film remuneration has risen to 7 million U.S. dollars, plus the North American box office can exceed 300 million, and automatically get 2 million box office bonuses; over 400 million, you can get almost 3.5 million.500 million capped.

The reason for being able to reach so many is naturally because of the signing of three film contracts.

Otherwise, if you can win five million, you can win the sky.

However, because of the signing of three consecutive drama contracts, there is not much room for growth in each drama contract. Fortunately, his agent insisted on taking a little more on the basic salary.

This is also normal. Is it a sequel movie? The salary growth rate is the fastest among all types of movies.

Nor can it be divided according to general market calculation rules.

For example, "Pirates of the Caribbean", Captain Depp's high-paid, you can not touch other movies.

Here, another demand issue is involved.

After all, sequel movies generally rarely change the starring lineup, and the employers dare not tolerate the loss of audience caused by the replacement of actors and the film market that has finally been created.

In this way, the actors are also confident, so if you don't take advantage of this time to make more money, when?

From their respective standpoints, isn't it all for profit?

That being the case, it's not just by means.

Warner still considered a lot.
