Chapter 45 Unexpected
Reese Witherspoon, the spokesperson for the current chick movie!
Starting from "The Beautiful Beauty of Law", "Love Returns to Alabama", "Walking with Songs", and "Like Heaven" have become the new spokesperson for the Chicken movie.
This one was proposed by David...
"She offers $15 million..."
"Our cost cannot exceed 30 million, David, that's the bottom line!"
"I see…"
Well, Chen Lin is preparing to make efforts in comedy films, "Hangover" and "Fake Marriage" are all collected scripts...
Needless to mention "Hangover", the famous R-level comedy, found the original Hangover Three Gang, produced by Warner, and "Fake Marriage", which is similar, and the project brought by producer David Haoberman...
That's right. After the financial crisis, Hollywood fell into a shortage of money, and many well-known producers sent invitations to Chen Lin Studio.
Of course, David Haoberman is one of them. He has many works, and he became famous with "The Pretty Beauty", and then "The Divergent" and "The Miracle Boy"...
So, Julia Roberts was his first choice, but he didn't expect the latter to refuse so resolutely.
The $20 million salary is too much!
"You find Sandra Bullock, I think she should be willing to share the money!"
“OK!”
David nodded.
Romantic comedy films like "Fake Marriage" have solved the heroine, and the hero can just find a vase for a man.
The plot is very simple. The heroine is about to be deported because of her visa expired, and she does not want to lose her current position as an executive. So she found a subordinate male protagonist to pretend to be her fiancé. In order to avoid the immigration bureau's discovery, the two went to their hometown in Alaska to celebrate his grandmother's birthday. The ending of course was a happy ending...
"There's something else?"
"Well... I've adapted your "New World" script, Nelson Johnson and Nicholas Pellege."
Chen Lin was very surprised: "It's awesome!"
Both of them are very famous gangster screenwriters, the former includes "The Soprano", "Atlantic Empire", and the latter includes "Good Guy", "Casino Storm", and "American Gangster"...
"Don't hurry to be awesome..."
David was a little embarrassed: "Leonardo likes this script very much..."
Chen Lin was puzzled: "Where did he see the script?"
"There are only a few good scripts a year, and everyone is watching!"
Hollywood is actually in a shortage of scripts. Not only do it plunder good foreign scripts for adaptation, but it also stirs up new bottles of old wine for its own movies...
What Harvey is best at participating in various film festivals, collecting foreign films, and then using resources to make money, using the awards season to expand his popularity, and then earn profits.
DreamWorks, Colombia, Lion Gate directly remakes a bunch of Japanese benzene, Korean horror films...
Many people lament that there are fewer and fewer good movies. In fact, this is the difficulty of creative work.
You know, there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of creators in Hollywood who are eager to try to produce stories of one kind or another. Major companies spend more than 1 billion dollars every year to define scripts. Some of the movies that end up selling are the most popular, while others do not...
Many are even directly labeled as bad movies.
Sorry, these bad movies really represent the highest level of Hollywood's field of drama.
Of course, this is related to the fact that American script resources are occupied by TV series too much, and all top screenwriters write TV series - after all, the benefits of American TV series far exceed that of movies!
Many people say that Hollywood capital kills creativity...
It also makes sense that creativity often means uncertainty, so capital tends to be conservative.
Risk prevention comes first, not to make a masterpiece...
After pulling it back, David continued: "Leonardo wants to buy the script..."
"He's thinking about nothing!"
Chen Lin shook his head directly. Da Linzi couldn't sell scripts. Leonardo could like it. Can others like it?
"What if he wants to act?"
"…I have no objection to this, please see how to arrange it!"
When Leonardo plays, there is no need to worry about pay. Some studios are willing to invest, and he is a box office guarantee.
Since the box office awards of special effects commercial films like "Lord of the Rings" successfully accelerated the rise of the Hollywood special effects era, movie special effects have replaced actors as the guarantee of box office.
In the era of special effects, almost no actors have absolute box office appeal!
Li Xiao was very lucky and starred in the classic commercial masterpiece of film history "Titanic". Later, he was attracted by Martin Scorsese and praised by Lao Ma as his own son. His box office appeal is really good in time, place and people. It is precisely because of his box office appeal. His movie resources are also very good, and there are almost no bad movies!
Even if the box office losses were lost on the books, DVD sales were extremely high.
Chen Lin has no objection to having him appear in "New World"...
"What about the director? Martin Scorsese?"
"…Don't..." Chen Lin suddenly felt aroused in his heart: "I'll direct it!"
David was stunned for a moment: "You?"
Chen Lin: "Can't I do it? I've been a director!"
"...You are director, Leonardo may not be willing to star in the role..."
"Then let's change someone..."
"I'll help you have a date for Leonardo, and you can talk to him..."
Chen Lin refused to comment.
...
In fact, there are not many Hollywood projects that Chen Lin can intervene.
On the one hand, the amount of funds he has is limited, while on the other hand, the Hollywood studios are relatively xenophobic...
For example, if he wants to buy Marvel Heroes, is it possible?
There is a possibility that someone will not sell it to him at all!
He wants to invest in Avatar...
"Avatar" is enough, it's too expensive...
Then is it possible even if the "Resident Evil" series of "X-Men"?
People don't care at all...
Originally, after Chinese capital entered Hollywood, Huayi, Bona, Wanda, and even Radio and Television Media were all clamoring to cooperate with Hollywood and how they would do what they would do to Chinese movies…
However, in Hollywood's eyes, they are all stupid money.
"Deep Sea Catastrophe", "Divine War: Eye of Power", and "Difference 3" made TV Media beat three consecutive hits in a year. The following year, the "Extraordinary Team" he invested in was once again on the list of the top ten films that lost the worst throughout the year...
Chen Lin is no exception...
It is impossible for someone to let you participate in it in depth!
Therefore, continue to consolidate your territory and develop slowly...
Don’t want to eat in one breath and become fat!
...
Later, Chen Lin returned to the hotel and snatched his feet bored.
Preparing to watch the TV series, Zhong Lifang sent a text message to tell her that the box office of "Breakup Contract" was 16 million in the first weekend, ranking second...
This thing shocked him!
Call directly: "No, this movie can also be 16 million on the first weekend?"
“…The first one is “Peach Blossom Luck”, we are second, and “Witness” is third…”
"Peach Blossom Luck" is understandable, and it mainly focuses on Ge You...
This film is speechless. In 2006, Ge You filmed halfway, and it was shut down. Then it started filming again this year. Without Ge You, eight male and female leads were added, directly turning Ge You from the male lead to the supporting role.
That's not all, I just use the materials I took before!
Chapter completed!
