Let me explain first. Although "The Knife Out" is Lu Xiaoran's first English film, he can fully mobilize more than 100 million US dollars in capital!

No matter how you calculate it, Lu Xiaoran is a director at level A or above.

The return on investment is very high!

However, the producers of "Knife Out" are Orange Manufacturing + Warner Company and Lu Xiaoran Film Studio.

His director's salary of $12 million is included in the production cost. The higher the total cost, the lower the share he enjoys...

Therefore, Lu Xiaoran's own expectations are less than US$60 million.

Damn, Little Lizi opens her mouth and has 15% of the box office dividends?

The face is so big!

"If you think his offer is too high, he can invest $10 million in person, but he will have a 25% profit dividend in the later stage!"

“…25%?”

"Yes." Wan Ziren continued: "Leonardo is not only an actor, but also a very famous producer. He has the Yabi Road Production Company. He has been investing in the films he has participated in in recent years, including "The Revenant" which won the Oscar last year... He is very smart!"

Little Lizi was born as a child star and worked hard in the circle for more than 20 years. She is very familiar with the process of investing and accounting in the circle, so she always strives for the greatest power in the films she participated in.

"No, it's too expensive, I can't accept it!"

If it were Lu Xiaoran five years ago, he might have agreed - working with top Hollywood actors is also a kind of qualification to play with.

Now, he doesn't need this way of giving...

"What is your bottom line?"

"There is no share of $15 million in salary..."

Wen Ziren smiled: "Impossible, Leonardo cannot reduce his salary because of you!"

"…That's fine, I don't have to do anything about him."

Wen Ziren picked up the wine glass and touched him: "I didn't get a prize in "Martian Rescue"? Do you feel bad?"

Lu Xiaoran waved his hand: "What's wrong with what's expected? "The Great Wall" doesn't even have a nomination!"

Wen Ziren was furious: "The Great Wall...is a popcorn movie, how could there be a nomination..."

“…I just said it casually!”

Wan Ziren doesn't want to pay attention to him...

"I'll tell you a script, I'll guarantee you can win an Oscar!"

“…”

Lu Xiaoran took a sip of red wine and said seriously: "A disabled black homosexual retired from the battlefield in Afghanistan got AIDS because of injection aspiration. Then he continued to improve himself and participated in various social movements, and eventually died in the crowd of people occupying the Wall Street movement. Before his death, all the white left sang "do you hear the people sing" in unison, and the video ended."

"The title of the film can be called "People's Heroes"!"

This is a blind rumor on the Internet - a must-have Oscar for the best video template script.

Of course Lu Xiaoran is just kidding...

Wen Ziren actually thought for a while and said, "You don't have to occupy Wall Street, it can be used in other places..."

Lu Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "I'm kidding, don't take it seriously."

"Just... kidding?"

"This is circulated on a website in China. If you understand Chinese, you can see a lot of jokes that satirize the political correctness of Oscars!"

...

Beijing.

"Indian Medicine God" crew, Fumino got nervous again. He actually suggested to Chen Zhixi that Lu Xiaoran would play a role and play Lu Xuyi...

I had a nervous mind before, and I asked the filming time of this drama to be four months!

Damn, a film with a realistic theme, your entire four-month shooting cycle, what's wrong, are you better than other directors?

But Huang Bo agreed...

day!

Chen Zhixi directly refused: "He has no time!"

"You ask, he found this script, which means he must be interested!"

Chen Zhixi counted on him: "He has made three movies this year, and "New World" has been filmed halfway, and it is estimated that it will be completed in April; "Detective Chinatown 2" will take two months to shoot, and there will be a movie "Blade Out" after that..."

"You said, how can he have time?"

"...He is not the protagonist, there will always be something like this that is squeezed in time. Please ask me, one... is wrong, two months is enough!"

"Okay, I'll ask for you!"

Chen Zhixi can understand him, after all, this is his first movie, so it is normal for Lu Xiaoran to ask him to help me...

In fact, Fumino really thinks that Lu Xiaoran is a very good actor.

Of course, I do have the idea of ​​collecting a habit - a play brings together Huang Bo + Lu Xiaoran, tsk, this starting point is the peak of life!

Haha, there is Wu Jing - Wu Jing is now on the front line. When "Wolf Warrior 2" is released, Fumikino will know how awesome the cast of "The God of Medicine" directed by him is!

When Lu Xiaoran received a call from Chen Zhixi, he was a little surprised: "Let me act..."

"Yes, he said he is optimistic about your ability to shape characters!"

"… Let's just pull it off, I don't have time to figure out the role, Lu Shouyi will definitely not do!"

However, he didn't say absolutely, but asked: "What other characters are there? Don't have too many scenes!"

"Sun Dasheng... No, Sun Dasheng must be Wu Jing... gone, why don't you come and play a guest appearance as a passerby?"

"Have the Swiss pharmaceutical representative found a good actor?"

"…He's the villain!"

"What's wrong with the villain? The villain is not a human being? I'll take that role. Tell Fumino, I'll give him two weeks to join the group in May!"

Chen Zhixi hung up the phone, then found Wen Muye and told him the news. Wen Muye scratched his head: "Then do I want to change my personality?"

"…casual."

Wen Muno was confused for a moment, and then called the screenwriter Han Jianu. In the end, the two decided to change the character of the medical representative. They could be arrogant, but there must be an explanation. For example, he would say the cost of the development of genuine medicines in the program, and he could not be set as a villain who was extremely guilty...

After all, it’s Lu Xiaoran who plays this role now!

...

Lu Xiaoran has returned to Hong Kong, and the crew helped him hold a celebration party.

If you haven’t won a prize, there is a celebration party?

Yang Shoucheng's original words, "Notified to the Oscar is victory!"

Well, anyway, the shooting went smoothly, and Lu Xiaoran didn’t hurry up, so it was just a drink party.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaoran said to Huang Bo who was sitting next to him: "I actually asked me to act!"

"No, what kind of play?"

Huang Bo was also surprised...

Since "Source Code", no one has handed over the script to Lu Xiaoran. Some people have thought of inviting him to play a friendly guest appearance, but he has rejected it...

"The God of Medicine... We just happened to join the group together!"

"Did you agree?"

"Um…"

"How could you agree?"

"That subject is a bit sensitive, I'll add some weight to speak..."

The most important thing is that the Big Golden Retriever said that "The God of Medicine" is the highest-rated movie in mainland China 10 years later, and it has a good reputation and box office success!

If you participate in such a work, you will not lose weight.
Chapter completed!
