"This is a cursed movie, my dear little Quinn, I've been fucked about it!"

Anon Milkan stuffed a cup of espresso in one sip. In order to make the taste spread fully in his mouth, he even rinsed it with impoliteness.

Bai Quinn didn't care about these small details. In order to avoid trouble, he only dared to see Milkan in a public place like a cafe, and would never be separated from Hannah for more than five meters away.

"Don't worry, Mr. Milkan, our 'Plan A's investment evaluation of your Fight Club is A, which means that as long as you complete the signing process, $15 million will soon appear in your crew's special account!"

While Bai Quinn was talking clichés, he carefully observed Milkan and figured out his intentions.

Milkan took another sip of Paris water, exhaled a long breath from his big nose, and used the air of soaked water to transmit the aroma of coffee to his nose. He closed his eyes and tasted it for a moment, before saying, "I am very grateful for this, Little Quinn! And, Jared Leto's incident has affected your tour plan, I apologize..."

Bai Quinn said helplessly: "I'm sorry, this is Jared's first national tour after all. I wonder if this will affect the shooting of "Requiem of Dreams"?"

The unlucky Jared Leto, during the filming of "Fight Club", was hit and broke three ribs due to the mistakes of other actors.

Milkan said: "Fortunately, the broken ribs are difficult to see the scars on the surface, and it does not affect his bed scenes. As for Jared's lack of strength after being injured, it just fits the character's decadent state after being absorbed."

Co-author Jared Leto is still going to play with injuries!

In this operation, Bai Quinn, a veteran of exploitation and professional capitalists, would shout for his experts.

And this is not the first time that there has been an accident on the set in "Fight Club".

In another match between Edward Norton and Brad Pitt, Norton did not shoot in the pre-fixing order according to director David Finch's instructions, but instead hit Pitt's ear with an uppercut.

Fortunately, Brad Pitt has a strong ability to adapt on the spot. Even if an accident occurs, he will continue to act the wrong way, and interpret the surprise reaction of being sneak attacked more vividly.

However, Pitt then developed auditory hallucinations for several days in a row.

Having tasted the sweetness on this shot, David Finch naturally became even worse. The real boxing injury effect learned by the makeup artist from the UFC game video could not satisfy his desire. He just asked the actor to fight realistically, and finally the incident of supporting role Jared Leto being injured.

The "Thirty Seconds to Mars" under the Big Machine, which is the lead singer of Jared Leto, originally planned to start his first national tour during Christmas, but this time the lead singer had an accident and had to refund the ticket!

It is impossible to say that Bai Quinn is not angry, but when she thought of Milkan and her father cooking nuclear raw materials twenty years ago, all the anger was immediately extinguished, and she said with a smile: "Accidents always happen, but fortunately our Big Machine Records are insured... Haha!"

Milkan echoed: "Yes, accidents always happen. Someone was injured on the set of "Fighting Club" a few days ago. The photography director was smashed by a bottle thrown by a resident next to the shooting site. Fortunately, the injury was not serious and he was rescued in time..."

All rescued, not serious yet...

That's right, not dead on the spot is not serious!

"Has the prisoner caught it?"

Milkan said: "I found it. It was a resident upstairs who disliked our crew filming at night and affected his sleep. This person has been arrested by the police..."

It's indeed a cursed crew!

Fortunately, when they contacted Sarah to play the heroine of the film, due to the contract with Werden, Sarah was unable to play a role with a "negative image" during the broadcast of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", so the cooperation failed. Otherwise, she would fall into this unlucky crew, and who knows what would happen?

According to Milkan himself, when the estimated $50 million budget was upgraded to $67 million shortly after the filming began, he ordered director David Finch to cut the budget by at least $5 million.

David Finch refused, saying that it would undermine the integrity of the movie.

Milkan threatened to withdraw.

Bill McCarnik, the head of the crew of the 20th Century Fox, who signed the release date, came to pray to Milkan with samples taken by several weeks, and eventually made him agree to an additional budget.

Bill McNick returned to the crew with gratitude, but he didn't know that Milkan actually agreed to the additional investment after he agreed to the investment conditions with "Plan A".

In addition to Wademark's own movie, Fight Club was the first movie to use the money from the "Plan A" movie investment fund.

I don’t know if using the money from the Saudi royal family is a curse for Milkan, a Hollywood tycoon with an Israeli nationality.

"Can you talk to me, Charlie?"

Bai Quinn finally revealed his real purpose of meeting Milkan in person this time, hiding beyond the investment contract.

Uncle Tony didn't know much about Charlie Bai. It is said that the few meetings that year were either Tony accusing and insulting Charlie Bai, or the two of them fists and feet.

According to Tony's narrative, he taught his brother-in-law a lesson, but after Bai Quinn met Charlie Bai, who was as burly as himself, he saw through Tony's boast.

"Charlie!"

Milkan drank the second cup of Italian concentrate, and most Italians would feel inferior to that.

"I have been in business with him for more than ten years until I washed my hands and stopped working in 1986..."

Facing Bai Quinn's slightly playful smile, Milkan explained: "I have really washed my hands anymore. This time I was doing my friends in China a favor. This time I was just contacting transportation. After all, I am also an Israeli, but I will never go to escort those things in person again!"

"You're still escorting yourself?"

“Yes, for the first time I cooperate, I have to be there and keep an eye on those 'babies' throughout the process to be at ease.

The first time we shipped the goods was in 1975. You were not born yet. It was the first time Charlie took such a... heavy... cargo, so he followed the ship all the way.

When I passed the Strait of Gibraltar, I found him wearing a life jacket and asked him why.

Guess what Charlie said? He said he felt it was a bit cold at night and put on a cold look.

It was not until the cargo arrived in the port, and Charlie told me the truth in the bar in Tel Aviv that his people had already placed bombs in many places on the freighter. Once they encountered a British patrol ship, he would order the bombing of the ship...

I asked him at that time, why didn’t he prepare a life jacket for me?

Charlie's answer was that he thought that as a soldier, I must have the determination to sink with the goods I was escorted, and he did not, and he had to go home to see the soon-born child, that is, you..."

"I think you must be very angry at that time, right?" Bai Quinn also drank a cup of coffee.

Milkan shook his head and said, "No, I think he can understand me and fulfill my desire to serve the country, just like the Titanic depicted... So I immediately had three drinks with him. Charlie is the same as you, and he doesn't drink enough, so he couldn't stand out of the bar..."

Bai Quinn imitated Milkan and took a sip of soaked water, allowing the exploded gas to push the aroma of coffee into his nose.

"So, do you know why Charlie went to jail?"

Milkan was silent for a long time, and finally raised her head and said, "Charlie made a very easy mistake for arms merchants. He misjudged the situation and provided weapons to both parties in the conflict.

I also have a certain responsibility in it, it was me who took him to Beirut, I don't know what happened to him there, but after that, he changed...

Originally, he was just helping West Germany and Belgium to send Christian militias to Lebanon's Maron, and then the weapons he transported began to supply to all parties to the conflict.

This kind of behavior is common in regional conflicts in Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia in the past, and sometimes even those with higher prices are worth it. Even from the standpoint of the Israelites, I think it is understandable that he does this. Even if he does not, others will fill this market. At least we can control Charlie's supply and will not affect the regional situation.

But this time Charlie was very unlucky and had trouble...

In June 1976, the new US ambassador to Lebanon, Francis Meloy Jr., was kidnapped and killed by the PLO.

The American people are excited. You are too young to experience that era. Young people at that time were like they were splashed with gasoline, just a little bit.

So Charlie, who once bought weapons for the PLO, was arrested and investigated for granted, until he was sentenced in the end. Perhaps because some new crime was found, Charlie's sentence was one plus and another.

Charlie's charges were not convenient to be announced, so they detained him for crimes such as drunk driving and prison fighting. However, since Charlie had been ordered to give him a few items, you know, for example, the time I escorted him with him, it was all content that could not be disclosed...

So it’s not surprising that Charlie can survive, he always has a backup plan…”

Not far away, a group of guys dressed in elite suits and ties finally finished the paperwork at hand and handed over a stack of documents to Milkan's bodyguards.

The bodyguard walked up to the two of them with the documents in his arms and said, "Sir, the lawyers have modified the agreement."

Plan A's lawyer and project manager also reported the same content to Bai Quinn.

"Then let's sign!" Bai Quinn said.

Milkan picked up the pen and said, "I wish us a happy cooperation and a long-lasting friendship..."

“Friendship lasts forever!”

...

"M-Fxxk!" Bai Quinn shook the pen in his hand and roared: "3 million! Jennifer Connery's pay actually dares to ask for $3 million!"

"This money is enough for Milkan to make a movie "Requiem of Dreams"! Edward Norton worked hard to practice boxing, lost 30 pounds, and only received a $2.5 million salary!"

It was not until the day of casting that Bai Quinn learned that Jennifer Connery's pay was bidding for three million US dollars!

You should know that except for him, the entire cast of "Fast and Furious" crew did not pay more than $500,000. Several members of the racing team used newcomers or wrestlers. Each signed a three-series contract. Even if each film was sold well, their pay would not exceed one million dollars after the third film.

Jennifer Connery has a high salary of three million, so what should I do if the sequel is done?

The price of three million is not a sequel, not a romance film, but an action film. With such a high pay, only Sandra Brock and Uma Thurman have obtained it among the action film actresses!

What is unsettling is that the two movies "Life and Death Time 2" and "Batman and Robin" that gave them such a high pay both lost! And they were big hits!

Michelle Yeoh took 20 million in 007, which sounds quite a lot, but that was calculated based on Hong Kong dollars. If it was exchanged for US dollars, it was only about 2.3 million!

Jennifer doesn’t have any kung fu, and the pay for starring in “Beating a Girl” is higher than Michelle Yeoh!

After asking Casey Conrad about this matter, Bai Quinn realized that the price was a small price called by Jennifer, and he seemed to be not negotiating if he didn't have enough money.

Of course, he can also give up Jennifer in today's casting and replace it with other alternatives. But in this way, how should he face Milkan?

We only signed an agreement a few days ago and invested in his movies. We looked like a family friend, but we turned around and broke our promises. We felt a little embarrassed...

However, when it comes to money, Bai Quinn was not embarrassed and called directly.

But unexpectedly, he was convinced by Milkan in the end, and even reluctantly, he accepted Jennifer's offer.

It’s all Milkan’s fault!

After putting down the phone, Bai Quinn hurriedly asked someone to take out a plot outline specifically for the heroine candidate. After reading it, he showed a smirk.

If you borrow flowers to offer me a trick, I will definitely not let this Buddha live a better life, and the fighting scenes will be more difficult!

This time we are using the martial arts coach of the Chengjia Class, and there are countless ways to "torture you"!

Didn’t you get a higher pay than Michelle Yeoh? At least you have to achieve Michelle Yeoh’s action effect!
