Chapter 634: Calling from the air (12,000 daily updates~)
"Sister, are there so many movie invitations?"
In Whoopi Goldberg's apartment, Eddie looked at the movie invitation in his eldest sister's hand and asked in surprise.
Whoopi Goldberg also had a proud smile on her face at this time. When she was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress before, she had never received so many movie invitations.
This time, the movie "The Love of Ghosts" has not yet been completed, but she has already received invitations from four or five movies. Her role in the comedy of "The Love of Ghosts" is very easy to attract.
Fan, it can be said that she is the actor who benefited the most from the film's starring cast, other than the two leading actors.
Whoopi Goldberg felt proud when she thought about how she was ridiculed by her friends in the industry when she accepted this role.
Not only did she get more film appointments, but her remuneration also increased a lot. This was the benefit that the movie "The Love of Ghosts" brought to her.
"How about it, I have good taste!" Whoopi Goldberg said happily.
Eddie nodded and said matter-of-factly: "It seems that my decision to let you take on this movie was correct."
Whoopi Goldberg glanced at her sister helplessly, "Did you accept this movie because of its quality? You only accepted this movie because of the high salary!"
Eddie said nonchalantly: "Whatever, it's a good thing that the salary has increased anyway."
Then Eddie flipped through her sister's script casually and asked, "Which script are you going to take on?"
Whoopi Goldberg laughed: "Of course I accepted the highest-paid script."
Now Whoopi Goldberg's status in Hollywood has climbed to a higher level with the movie "The Last Days", and he has gained the fame he wanted. Naturally, he has to consider his actual situation.
Eddie nodded in agreement and said, "I think so too."
Whoopi Goldberg is discussing the new script with her sister, while Tony Goldwyn is also enjoying the warmth of his family.
I saw my mother with a proud smile on her face because of me. Although my father did not say any words of encouragement to me, he took the initiative to ask me what I wanted to eat when eating. This was something I had never done before.
.
At this time, the father and son were sitting in the living room at home. Zion Godwin rarely watched TV, but was concerned about his son's future development.
"Now that the movie "The Last Love" is so popular, what are your plans for your future?"
Tony Goldwyn laughed and said: "I'm going to sign with Hera's agency. They will arrange work for me then, and I have already talked with them. Now we have the movie "The Last Days",
My salary and film contracts will increase a lot."
Snow Godwin asked curiously: "How much is your current salary?"
Tony Goldwyn said happily: "When I filmed "The Last Day", the fee was US$80,000, and now it has risen to US$300,000. If there is another hit movie, the salary can reach one million.
Got it!"
In fact, there is also an exaggeration of Tony Goldwin in this. It is not easy for an actor to reach the million-level salary. It is impossible for an ordinary blockbuster movie to increase his salary from 300,000 to one million, unless it is again
It is only possible if there is a work on the same level as "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts".
But at this time, Tony Goldwyn felt that the future was bright and he was full of confidence in himself. He thought that there should be no problem in participating in another movie like this.
This is also the instinctive thought of a person who is often at the bottom when he suddenly sees hope, just like a desperate author who suddenly writes a book with some success and thinks that his next book will definitely be better.
.
In fact, reality will always give such people a hard blow!
Zion Godwin saw it clearly and said: "Your main job now is not to think about these things, but to think about how to improve your acting skills. Only when your acting skills are improved can you be better in this circle."
Stand still."
"As for the salary, don't think too much. By the way, didn't you say that Director Wu appreciates you very much? You can try to contact Director Wu to see if there are any roles in Director Wu's next movie that are suitable for you!
"
Tony Goldwyn smiled and said: "Dad, don't worry, Director Wu has told me before that he has reserved a role in his next movie "Jurassic Park"."
After finishing speaking, Tony Godwin showed a hesitant expression.
After Zion Godwin saw it, he asked: "What's wrong?"
Tony Goldwin said: "Just when I was chatting with Director Wu, he told me that my role in the movie "Jurassic Park" is not important, and it is not as important as the role in "Jurassic Park".
There is no comparison to Carl in the movie..."
As a result, before Tony Goldwin could finish his words, he was interrupted by his father, who looked at Tony Goldwin with an unkind expression: "Do you really think that just because you acted in a movie, you are really successful?"
"Although I don't know what role was given to you in Director Wu's movie, but now with the success of the movie "The Love of Ghosts", his next movie will definitely receive more attention, and "
If the novel "Jurassic Park" is so successful, there will definitely be a group of loyal readers who will watch the movie. This will provide a good audience base for the movie, and its chances of success will be greater.
Are you sure that the next movie you star in will be successful?"
"I mean, are you so angry?" Tony Goldwin muttered, lowering his head.
"Huh, I'm trying to make you sober. I haven't even seen how famous you are, and you're starting to be self-righteous. What if I really make you a star?" Zion Godwin did not give his son face, but
He scolded me again.
"Yes, yes, I know!" Just like all sons, when faced with reprimands from their parents, they would always say yes perfunctorily.
But this does not mean that Tony Godwin did not listen to his father's words. In fact, his father's words reminded him.
Tony Goldwyn decided to go to the company tomorrow to inquire about Director Wu's new play.
Some people are happy and some are sad!
Spielberg and Lucas are worried now. This time they initiated a joint ban on Phantom and Wu Jianye. Now with the comparison of the box office of the two movies, they have to admit that they have been defeated.
.
When the movie reached its second week of release, "Back to the Future 3" experienced a sharp plunge, as the media predicted, with a drop of more than 50%. The box office in the second week barely reached more than 30 million.
That's all.
Although the box office has now been enough for them to recover their costs, compared to the movie "The Last Love", they almost failed completely.
In the second week, the box office of "The Last Days" dropped only 25%, and the box office was more than twice that of "Back to the Future 3". On the box office list, "The Last Days" still topped the list with a box office of 73 million.
Although "Back to the Future 3" ranked second, Spielberg still felt very dazzling at this time.
The two of them sat in the office, silent for a long time, while the phone on the desk kept ringing.
The secretary walked in and saw the two of them. In her impression, Spielberg and Lucas had never seemed so worried. In the past, as long as their movies were released, it would not matter to the fans or the producers.
The studio is a grand event, and there are endless dinner parties every day.
Now the two of them are sitting there like two losers...just two losers.
Lucas waved his hand and asked his secretary to go out. The phone was still ringing, but they had no interest in answering it because there were only two things calling them at this time.
Called from theaters, the theaters where "Back to the Future 3" will be shown will be appropriately reduced.
It turned out that the call came from my alliance. He first comforted me, and then reluctantly said that he also had to develop and wanted to cooperate with Phantom Entertainment.
No matter which one it was, they didn't expect to hear such news at this time.
After a long time, Spielberg suddenly said: "I am preparing to advance the filming of "Captain Hook"!"
Spielberg has been preparing for the movie "Captain Hook" for a long time, but in his plan, there are two movies that he needs to produce, but now Spielberg doesn't think so
.
He wants Hollywood to know that he is still Spielberg.
Lucas looked at Spielberg, knowing that his old friend could not accept this failure, and said: "Have the actors communicated well?"
Spielberg nodded and said: "I have contacted them in advance and the schedule has been adjusted!"
Lucas continued to ask: "When is it going to be released?"
Spielberg said confidently: "It will still be released together with "Jurassic Park"!"
Lucas glanced at Spielberg with relief. This was the Spielberg he knew. It was impossible for him to doubt himself just because of the failure of a movie, not to mention that the previous movie was not him.
The director, now that Spielberg is taking the role himself, will naturally have to do something big.
In fact, Spielberg did the same. After several days of preparation, he held a press conference.
Although the box office failure of "Back to the Future 3" made everyone doubt Spielberg, Spielberg has always been one of the top directors in Hollywood. He was not the director of the movie "Back to the Future 3".
It wasn't even a failure at the box office, so when Spielberg held a press conference, all the media in North America were still gathered.
When they saw many members walking into the press conference with Spielberg, they were once again shocked by Spielberg's generosity.
Robin Williams of "Dead Poets Society" and Dustin Hoffman of "Rain Man" are both the top male stars in Hollywood. Although the heroine's position is not as good as these two, but
She also received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress last year, and now a new generation of actress is rising in Hollywood, Julia Roberts!
The producer is Spielberg’s old friend Lucas, another top Hollywood director!
When they saw this lineup, all the reporters were very excited. As soon as this lineup was laid out, it was enough for movie fans to buy tickets and come in to watch.
Subsequently, Spielberg announced at the press conference that he would adapt James Barley's famous novel "Peter Pan" and that he would also direct the film himself. At the same time, the initial budget of the film was US$48 million.
If necessary, the budget will be increased!
Hearing this news, everyone was once again surprised by Spielberg's courage, but some people felt something different from it.
Everyone knows that Spielberg was very interested in "Jurassic Park" written by Wu Jianye before, but he just couldn't get the rights to adapt this novel. Now Spielberg has announced that he will adapt "Peter Pan"
This novel also has a very high reputation. It doesn’t need Spielberg to explain what it means. Many people also understand it.
So a reporter asked: "Steven, when is this movie going to be released?"
Spielberg laughed: "Next year, the specific time has not yet been determined!"
At this time, it was clear to everyone that Spielberg's movie was directed towards "Jurassic Park". Everyone knew that Wu Jianye was currently preparing for this movie and was preparing to release it next year. Now Si
Pillberg has also postponed the release of his new movie to next year, and has not announced a specific release time.
Thinking of this, the reporters were so excited that at least they no longer had to worry about news materials for this year.
Some reporters also provoked the issue and said: "Steven, the two movies "Back to the Future 3" and "The Last Days" have been released for three weeks. As of now, the movie "Back to the Future 3" has the highest box office.
It's only 110 million US dollars, and the movie "The Last Days" has already exceeded 200 million US dollars. Do you have any comments on these two movies?"
Spielberg glanced at the other party. He had long been accustomed to the media's personality, and said calmly: "These are two completely different types of movies, which cannot be compared at all. And in my opinion, "Back to the Future 3" is the same movie."
A very good science fiction movie, different from other movies that cover science fiction themes but tell love stories!"
Even though Spielberg has deliberately avoided this issue, reporters still caught the loopholes.
So the next day some media wrote: "Spielberg dismissed the science fiction elements in "The Last Days"!"
At the same time, some media approached Wu Jianye with this report and wanted to interview Wu Jianye to see how he responded.
Wu Jianye looked at the reporter with a smile: "Are you sure that's what Steven said?"
"Of course, there were many reporters there at the time. How could I lie? And they have already been reported!" the reporter said confidently.
Wu Jianye chuckled. Wu Jianye didn't believe what the reporter said. Maybe Spielberg would belittle "The Love of Ghosts" but he would never say it directly like this. There must be a reporter
Adding fuel and vinegar to it.
However, Wu Jianye does not mind promoting his "Jurassic Park" at this time, ""Jurassic Park" will be a very science fiction movie!"
Just like a conversation over the air, the media immediately reported: Wu Jianye said that his next movie will allow Spielberg to see what a real science fiction movie is.
At the same time, some reporters continued to interview Spielberg about his views on this matter.
Spielberg and Wu Jianye have the same idea. They both use reporters to use each other, hoping to use this topic to increase the popularity of their movies, and at the same time, they also want to express their own opinions.
"Not everyone can make a science fiction movie successfully. This is different from a romance movie!"
