Liu Lang didn't know who shot the movie "Die Hard" in his previous life, but no matter who it was, he would definitely not be more suitable than Lucas, because no one can compare with him and Industrial Light and Magic when it comes to special effects and props.
In the previous life, this movie had a global box office of 150 million. Now that Lucas is filming it, the box office may be even higher.
"George, you can decide the actor's salary. Bruce Willis's salary of 300,000 yuan is appropriate. After he finishes filming this film, his salary will probably soar to one million levels!"
Bruce Willis's salary for participating in "Pulp Fiction" was US$80,000, and the leading actor John Travitt was only US$100,000. Now that "Pulp Fiction" has become famous, the salaries of all actors have also increased. John Travitt has also received a salary of US$80,000.
Lavitt has risen to half a million, which is barely considered a front line. Bruce Willie
With $300,000 from Samuel Jackson, she is considered second-tier. There is also a heroine who starred in Uma Thurman in her previous life. In this life, she has no chance and was replaced by a Broadway actor named Emma Lina.
Instead, the salary was lower, only 50,000 US dollars. Now it is a bit higher, but it is only 100,000 US dollars.
"Die Hard" is Bruce Willis' famous work. With this movie, he will become a Hollywood first-line action star, and by then he will be paid millions of dollars.
"Liu, you are very confident! But I like your confidence. As long as you say that, I will be confident!"
Before "Pulp Fiction" was released, Lucas predicted that the global box office would reach 30 million yuan. Liu Lang said that it would reach at least 80 million yuan. It turned out that he was right. Whether it was Shengtang Pictures or Shengtang Music, Liu Lang
Lang's prophecies have never failed, and his mouth has been blessed by God.
While the two were chatting, four people came over in a "group". They were the four protagonists of "Pulp Fiction", John Travitt, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson and Emma Lina.
Their big boss is sitting here, and they also heard from the director that except Emma Lina, the other three are Liu Lang
They were confused by the name of the person they wanted. They were just small actors. Travitt was a little better. Five years ago, he was somewhat famous in Hollywood and was barely a second-tier star. But in recent years, he has been involved in several bad movies.
If your popularity is gone, no one will find a bad movie professional to star in. Why would the boss know you?
Bruce Willis was even more puzzled. He had only acted in two movies with a cost of less than 100,000 US dollars before, and he was not the protagonist. Even Lucas had never heard of his name before. It was obvious that he was a 100%
A passerby, just such a passerby was picked out by Liu Lang by name, which made him flattered, especially when he heard that Liu Lang would invite him to shoot a big-budget movie with a cost of five million US dollars, and he would also be the protagonist. This was simply a gift from heaven.
What a coincidence! Now he is willing to call Liu Lang daddy.
"Boss, thank you for choosing us to star in "Pulp Fiction" and giving us a chance to stand out!"
John Travolta thanked several people.
"John, the dance duet between you and Emma is very exciting and is a highlight in the movie. Samuel, your monologue about silently reciting the Bible is so exciting. I believe it will become a classic in the history of the movie. And Bruce,
Your tough guy image impressed me deeply, and the next "Die Hard" will be just right
Give full play to your image, and I believe you can become a hot star in Hollywood with this movie. As for others, you can rest assured that Shengtang Pictures will create a good script for you.
You will all become Hollywood’s A-list stars in a few years!”
Liu Lang said to the four of them.
"Great, boss, thank you so much, I'll drink this wine, you can do whatever you want...!"
Whether you are at home or abroad, drinking with your boss is a self-inflicted abuse, not to mention that this boss will bring you a great future.
"Liu, we meet again!"
Another person came over, and Liu Lang knew him. It was Spielberg, the great director who is as famous as Lucas.
George Lucas, Spielberg and James Cameron will be called the three "divine directors" of Hollywood by Chinese movie fans twenty years later. Perhaps there are many directors in Hollywood who can be as famous as them, but in China
In the eyes of the audience, they represent Hollywood.
The styles of the three are all of the same type, big production and big scenes, but in comparison, Spielberg is more comprehensive. Lucas's masterpiece is Star Wars, and he reached the top with a big brand. Came
Takashi's works were not many in the 1980s, and only "Terminator 1" was refreshing. His peak began in the late 1990s.
It was "Titanic" released in 1997, which grossed US$2.2 billion worldwide, and then "Avatar" in 2008, which grossed US$2.8 billion worldwide. These two films also became the biggest hits in the history of world cinema.
The top two blockbuster movies, these two movies alone are enough to make him one of the giants of Hollywood, but now, his status cannot be compared with Lucas.
But now Spielberg has become a major director in Hollywood, and his status is no less than that of Lucas. He has achieved this status entirely because of the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series of movies.
In 1981, he directed "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which grossed nearly 400 million U.S. dollars. In 1984, he directed "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which did not have as much box office as the first film, but it still grossed 180 million U.S. dollars.
The box office of the movie is close to 600 million, and he has become a major director in Hollywood after Lucas. In fact, the relationship between the two is very good, and Lucas is also one of the investors in "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
"Steve, it's nice to meet you. I heard that you are preparing "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3". How about it? Have the investors settled it?"
Liu Lang asked.
"Oh, what? Are you interested in investing in my movie?"
"Of course, you and George have made more than one billion from four movies. Anyone who is not a fool will invest in you!"
If Liu Lang remembers correctly, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was released in 1989. The cost of the movie reached a record high of 30 million U.S. dollars, but the total global box office exceeded 400 million U.S. dollars, and the profit rate was more than ten times.
Investing in this movie is a guaranteed profit.
"I'm afraid it won't work. This movie is invested by Paramount, and they now regard you as a competitor."
Spielberg spread his hands and said.
"Oh, that's a shame. I'm also preparing two scripts now. I hope we can collaborate in the future!"
"Script? What script?"
Spielberg knew that this "Pulp Fiction" was created by Liu Lang, and his imagination was too great. He also knew that the songs of Shengtang Music were also written by Liu Lang, whose level was so high that even famous composers were impressed by it.
I was ashamed. Now that I heard that Liu Lang still had a script in hand, I immediately became interested.
"Well, it's a script about World War II. I'm still thinking of a name, but it's called Schindler's List for the time being!
