"Ms. Zeta-Jones, I have a new movie "The Legion" that will be released next week. I play a major supporting role in the film, but I am the screenwriter of this movie. If you are interested, I can modify the script.
Add a character and appropriate plot that suits you, and ask you to star in it."
Fatty Wang has always had the problem of being unable to walk when he sees beautiful girls. He was like this to Gao Yi back then. Regardless of whether Gao Yi was willing to enter the film and television industry, he wanted to invite her to audition and lead her into the film and television industry.
Now he met Catherine, and was attracted by Catherine's beauty and hot figure. Fatty Wang knew that Catherine had become a contracted artist under Youlian, so he became even more interested and wanted to bring her into his crew.
"A movie that is about to start shooting can actually modify the script and add characters and plots at will?" Catherine found it difficult to understand Fatty Wang's statement.
In fact, Catherine accidentally revealed the truth.
Although the film industry in Hong Kong is relatively developed, there are still many criticisms. One of them is that the script is not perfect and the director adds or removes plots at will during filming.
Xiangjiang filmmakers are used to this, but if a foreign girl like Catherine hears it, she will undoubtedly feel a little weird. It's so unprofessional, are you playing children's house?
"Director Wang, Catherine will go back to London today to handle personal matters. She will go to Hollywood to study acting skills soon. I'm afraid she won't have time to film in Xiangjiang." Gao Yi said, declining Fatty Wang's invitation on behalf of Catherine.
Are you kidding me? Catherine is an artist that Youlian plans to send to Hollywood for development. What suitable role can Fatty Wang give her in the meantime?
It's just a role in one of those messy movies, and in all likelihood, you'll have to show some flesh, which won't do Catherine any good.
Now that Gao Yi has spoken, Fatty Wang can only walk away in silence. There will be many times when Fatty Wang needs to ask Gao Yi for help in the future, and he does not dare to offend Gao Yi.
Taking this opportunity, Gao Yi told Sun Dahai about Catherine's desire to get a role in the new film "Mind Game".
Sun Dahai thought for a while and said: "Catherine, according to the plan Therese made for you, you will stay in London in the next six months to complete the performance contract you have signed. At the same time, you will receive professional training in acting nearby.
After half a year, based on your situation, the company will arrange for you to continue your studies in Hollywood, and at the same time help you contact some film crews for practical exercises.
If you want to play a role in "Mind Game", it's not impossible, but your original plan will be disrupted.
Because you have no film shooting experience and are not familiar with the operation mode of the Hollywood crew, we must arrange for you to go to Hollywood in advance to adapt.
Moreover, despite the huge investment in the movie "Psycho Game", it should actually be regarded as a man's movie. There are very few female roles in the movie, and only one character who is not sure whether it is the heroine or the supporting actress can stand out. If you want to play this
The role, the pressure is not small.
In the film, the leading actor Simon Yam and the supporting actor Fa Ge are both talented actors. You have to think clearly. If your acting skills cannot keep up and you are overpowered by others, don't cry."
Sun Dahai is so generous to his own people that he immediately planned to assign the first female role in the film, "Christie", to Catherine.
However, in this movie, there are not a few female characters who appear and have dialogues. It mainly depends on the individual performance of the male protagonist.
Deborah Kara Unger, who played the heroine "Christie" in the previous film, is a little-known Canadian actress.
Therefore, as long as Catherine takes advantage of the six months before filming begins to hone her acting skills, it is not a bad idea to replace her.
Moreover, according to the character setting in the script, this heroine does not need to be attractive with her figure or appearance. Catherine can start with such a role and appear in Hollywood, which will actually help her future development.
In fact, Sun Dahai originally prepared a role for Catherine, which was the role of the protagonist's daughter in the big-budget movie "True Lies", the key project of Kasol Film Company in the following year, in 1991.
Yes, the script of "True Lies" was also registered with the Writers Guild of America under the instruction of Sun Dahai at Castle Film Company.
For a single-episode movie like "True Lies", it would not be difficult for Sun Dahai to plagiarize it at all.
Just like "New Dragon Inn", Sun Dahai is only responsible for telling the story outline (creation) to Kasol Film Company, and the script is written by them themselves.
Not only "True Lies", Sun Dahai also took out the story outlines of several single-episode movies that impressed him deeply, and registered them first.
In addition, Sun Dahai did not stop doing anything, and when he was in Britten, he arranged for Fan Zheng to buy out the long fantasy novel "The Hobbit" written by J.R.R. Tolkien, a Britten writer and professor at Oxford University.
, as well as the film and television adaptation rights to the sequels "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Silmarillion".
Mr. J.R.R. Tolkien has passed away long ago. The copyright of his works is shared by his three sons, and the management rights are in the hands of his youngest son, Christopher Tolkien.
Christopher inherited his father's business, organized and improved the large number of manuscripts left by his father, and continued to complete the unfinished mythological novel "The Silmarillion".
Fan Zheng's purchase of the copyright was a real twist and turn.
Initially, Christopher firmly disagreed with selling the corresponding film and television adaptation rights to the little-known Erection Future Investment Company.
(Fan Zheng purchased the adaptation rights in the name of Future Investment Company, and will later inject them into Kasol Film Company and participate in the investment of these major productions.)
Fan Zheng had no choice but to continue to deal with this stubborn old man and find someone to help him lobby.
When he finally came, Fan Zheng accidentally mentioned that the company had participated in investing in "The Last Emperor", which made Christopher change his mind.
When Sun Dahai left Britten, negotiations were still in progress. Christopher was very rigorous and paid close attention to the details of the transfer agreement.
However, the general direction of the agreement has been reached. The Future Investment Company will pay a one-time payment of three million pounds to acquire Mr. J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth trilogy ("The Hobbit", "The Lord of the Rings" and
"The Silmarillion") has exclusive film and television adaptation rights for 99 years.
As the son of Mr. J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher's price for the copyright fee is not too high. He hopes that the adapted film and television works can show the style of the original work as truly as possible.
Now the focus of the dispute between the two parties is on the shooting time. Christopher hopes to start shooting as soon as possible, while Fan Zheng, after receiving instructions from Sun Dahai, wants to delay the time as much as possible.
