Chapter 8 Additional Questions - Leave Clause
The four of them talked some more in the hotel room and then dispersed. After all, except for Cao Yu, everyone else was a busy person, so it was definitely a busy business.
In particular, it is very rare for Sanfuni Padchi, the president of Sony Colombia, to be able to spare an afternoon to discuss a matter. Cao Yu feels that the other party can spare this time. On the one hand, this big production has a negative impact on Sony.
Another aspect of Columbia's importance is the personal relationship between my mentor and him.
What's more, many of the things discussed this afternoon require Sanfoni Padchi to find relevant people to confirm after she returns, such as going to Sony Columbia's Film and Television Department to confirm the funds to invest in the "Death Is Coming" project.
But this does not mean that the other people will be fine. Director Sam Raimi needs to inform the relevant personnel of the crew and tell them that the male lead has been confirmed.
Then the props artist, makeup artist, hairstylist, etc. in the crew began to prepare Cao Yu's costume props, makeup, hair style, etc.
The reason why a successful movie can be successful is that the start of work is never calculated from the official shooting period, but must be prepared several months or even a year in advance.
Of course, these are all for large-scale productions whose goals must be successful.
For those small productions, these preparations can be ignored!
It’s not because these are not important, but because these preparations require funds, and the funds for small productions have always been as the name suggests, small and poor.
Therefore, the crew of "The God of Death" was not as troublesome as Sam Raimi's crew. Sam Raimi just called his good friend, explained the current situation, and then asked Cao Yu to go directly to him in a few days.
Just report it to the crew.
In later generations, Cao Yu's behavior can be regarded as a bad habit that was criticized by others - bringing capital into the group.
But Cao Yu’s method of bringing capital into the group is very clever, because he does not bring capital himself, and others help him pay for it. This kind of operation can be regarded as a strange operation of bringing capital into the group.
Compared with the two of them, Cao Yu's tutor was a little more relaxed, but a job at King's College gave him something to do.
So after saying goodbye to Sony Columbia President Sanfoni Padge and director Sam Raimi outside the hotel, Cao Yu took his instructor's car back to the school dormitory.
The university dormitories at King's College are apartment-style, with several rooms and one living room, which means everyone has a room but shares a living room and kitchen.
This kind of condition is already considered a luxurious residence for Cao Yu, a person who has never seen much of the world in his previous life.
After coming back and eating some food hastily, Cao Yu lay on the bed and couldn't close his eyes for a long time.
The whole day today was really exciting, more exciting than he had been in the past ten years or so, second only to the psychological shock he had just received when he was reborn.
From the final conversation with director Sam Raimi, Cao Yu confirmed that the script he was going to star in was "Spider-Man".
The confirmation of this news once made Cao Yu so excited that he couldn't help himself. After all, the trilogy was a money-attracting monster with a total box office of 2.5 billion US dollars.
It can even be said that just this Spider-Man movie role can transform Cao Yu from an unknown 18th-tier actor to a global first-tier superstar in a short period of time.
Not to mention that Cao Yu also has Severus Snape in Harry Potter, a character who suddenly becomes powerful in subsequent Harry Potter stories.
And since the images of these two characters are very conflicting, it is crucial that if Cao Yu performs well, he can avoid being constrained by the role like Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp.
At the same time, [Harry Potter], [Spider-Man] and [Death is Coming], one supporting role and two protagonists, the results of this first year of debut can be seen.
Cao Yu felt that the alternative plan he originally planned to land in Hollywood would have been successful if there were basically no mistakes.
This situation made Cao Yu more and more excited as he thought about it. He originally wanted to call his parents to announce the good news.
But when he thought that he was taking this path without telling his parents, and that he had not yet achieved any results, and his parents were not very supportive of this path, so Cao Yu held back and planned to wait until he became successful and famous before making a call.
With such complex and exciting emotions, Cao Yu didn't know when he fell asleep, and time passed so slowly.
Three days passed in such an uneventful manner.
In the past three days, Cao Yu spent most of his time in the dormitory. He only went out once, to the teaching office of King's College to apply for leave to film a movie. After all, Cao Yu is still a student at King's College.
In fact, the reason for this kind of leave request is something that ordinary students cannot come into contact with at all.
Because even students from the School of Film and Television, even students from the School of Film and Television at King's College London, the vast majority of them have little chance to act in movies.
Not even a movie, just an ordinary TV series, which many students are not exposed to during the learning stage.
The significance of this kind of leave request in King's College is often the same as the additional questions in mathematics examination papers, which is something that ordinary people cannot touch.
So when Cao Yu submitted his reasons to the teaching office in the form of a leave request, it caused quite a commotion.
What the hell? Before I even graduated from my junior year, six major Hollywood actors invited me to star in a super-large production!
What’s even more special is that there are three acting contracts!
Oh! Not all of them are big productions, there are two big productions with an investment of hundreds of millions and one with a small cost of tens of millions.
Oh! It’s not all the protagonists, there are two protagonists and one supporting role.
return……
What a fart, this Ta Miao is already outrageous and awesome. When did our college have such a god?
It can be said that this is the sentiment of most teachers who saw the circumstances and reasons on Cao Yu's request for leave.
To this group of teachers, Cao Yu's request for leave was simply not like a request for leave, but like a full-score college entrance examination paper, with every word on it revealing a bright future.
At the same time, don’t think that the British don’t gossip, gossip is human nature.
So a fairy-like figure came out of King's College. He had three acting roles before he graduated, two of which were news from the top six Hollywood companies, and it quickly went viral on the school forum.
Many people are asking who this god is, and the purpose is very clear. The popular joke translated into later generations is: God, do you still lack a pendant on your thigh?
However, as the initiator, Cao Yu didn't pay much attention to this. He stayed in the dormitory for three days and read three scripts.
One is from [Spider-Man] director Sam Raimi, one is from [Death Comes Down] director Huang Yiyu, and the other is from the crew of [Harry Potter].
It was through the script that Cao Yu discovered that the director of "The God of Death" was actually a Chinese. This made Cao Yu very excited, because among the three dramas, the first one he starred in was "The God of Death".
Although the first one he auditioned for was "Harry Potter", he was only a supporting role in "Harry Potter", so even though the "Harry Potter" crew has already started filming.
But the actual time he needed to join the crew was in March, and since he didn't have many roles, the filming time was also very short, and the filming was completed in just five days.
It's only January now, so his next trip is to report to the crew of "The God of Death" first. Since the shooting time of "The God of Death" is relatively short, he will have all the information after the crew of "The God of Death" is completed.
There may be a few days off, and then according to the contract, he will work on the set of "Harry Potter" for a few days, and finally go to the set of "Spider-Man" for half a year of filming.
After Cao Yu finished working on these three films, September has arrived. If nothing else happens, Cao Yu's work this year will be over.
These three films will also allow Cao Yu to firmly establish himself in Hollywood, especially the "Spider-Man" series and the "Harry Potter" series.
If all goes well, Cao Yu's salary in one year will be equal to that of his elder brother Cheng Long, China Entertainment's number one superstar, which means a salary of tens of millions. In two years, Cao Yu's salary from "Spider-Man 2" will exceed
