Chen Feng played and watched the audition videos of the three people repeatedly, and then sent these videos to Fan Dongping, Liu Qian, and Li Kai in China, asking them to give their opinions. And Chen Feng generously sent them " The script of "The Godfather".
The three of them knew that Chen Feng was going to direct a movie in Hollywood in the near future, because Chen Feng planned to let all three of them participate, of course, only as assistants.
Fan Dongping and Liu Gan came over as photography assistants, and Li Kai served as director assistant.
Although the three of them were already well-known in the domestic circle at this time, Li Kai in particular was already one of the few blockbuster film directors in the country. Countless wealthy investors in the country paid him to direct films, and he They all ignored it.
But now that Chen Feng only slightly revealed that he was asked to come to Hollywood to be his assistant, he was overjoyed. He told him about this matter half a month ago, and now this guy takes the initiative to call Chen every day. Let’s chat with each other and connect with each other.
Before, except during holidays, this guy rarely called his boss once a month.
This is very realistic.
Of course, this is also human nature.
Not to mention that all directors in the Tang Dynasty want to come to Hollywood to make movies. In fact, directors from other countries and regions in the world also have such dreams. Who makes Hollywood recognized as a holy land for movies in the world.
It's just that most directors can't realize this dream. Now that Chen Feng is willing to bring the three of them to Hollywood, they are of course grateful and overjoyed.
Even though they are just deputy or assistant now, in fact their starting point is already very high. Many well-known foreign directors come to Hollywood, and unless they bring money to enter, they don't even get this kind of treatment.
Therefore, all three of them cherish this opportunity very much.
Of course, they all attached great importance to Chen Feng asking them to give their opinions on the three male leads to be chosen.
The three of them discussed with each other for a long time, and in the end they all agreed that Carl Lando's audition was the best.
Chen Feng himself discussed it with Trelawen for a day, and after a day of consideration, he finally chose Carl Lando as the first male lead.
As a veteran actor who has won two Academy Awards and a Lifetime Achievement Award, his salary is certainly not low, but after all, he has not filmed for several years, and he himself likes the script of "The Godfather" very much. Therefore, after some negotiations, a salary of US$8 million was agreed upon.
For him, this is a salary cut for acting. Otherwise, based on his status and current net worth, it would have cost at least tens of millions of dollars.
As for the second male lead, who is also the first male lead in the second part of "The Godfather", Chen Feng certainly attaches great importance to it. However, before that, Chen Feng had bought the rights to adapt and continue the script of "The Godfather" .
The original screenwriter of "The Godfather" was reluctant to sell it at first, because he also planned to write a second film if the movie "The Godfather" was released and the results were good.
But when Chen Feng asked for $1 million, the screenwriter, who was not very wealthy, immediately rushed to sell all the copyrights to "The Godfather".
The high price of one million US dollars is almost the highest in the industry. This is because in Hollywood. In other countries, the script that the screenwriter racked his brains to write would probably be wasted for tens of thousands or even thousands of dollars.
For popular movies that have grossed over a billion dollars at the box office, it is basically rare for the screenwriter to have a script worth over a million dollars.
Chen Feng offered such a high price, and no screenwriter would refuse. The reason is very simple. The screenwriter has racked his brains to create a script, and it is likely that no one will pay attention to it for decades.
Besides, even if the first "The Godfather" is a hit, if the screenwriter continues to write the second one, he may not be able to earn a million dollars.
Therefore, selling it all at once is really a good deal for the screenwriter himself.
Chen Feng bought the adaptation rights of "The Godfather" mainly to prepare for the second film in the future. Otherwise, if the first film becomes a hit and the adaptation rights are not in his hands, he may be very passive.
After buying the adaptation and continuation rights, Chen Feng felt relieved and started looking for a second male lead.
The second protagonist of The Original Time and Space is also a senior Hollywood actor. Of course, when he filmed "The Godfather", he was still very young and not well-known. It was only after filming "The Godfather" that he became famous in Hollywood.
noise.
When Chen Feng was filming MTV, he spent his spare time preparing for casting, trying his best to choose actors who are already famous or slightly famous in Hollywood.
It's just that it's really not easy to find a talented actor like Al Pacino. Especially those who are less than thirty years old, it's even harder. Chen Feng played and watched the audition videos of the three people repeatedly, and then played these
