How can a movie be made like this?!

What the hell does FernΓ‘ndez's brain look like?!

This is not only what Comrade Governor and his agent want to say, but also what Kevin Reynolds wants to say, after reading the script and the stock market synopsis, his first thought is to immediately take a business jet back to the company, let the editors in the company who usually have nostrils stand in a row in front of him, and then slap these bastards in the face with the soles of their shoes: Stupid! Bastards, the company eats and drinks all day long plus a high salary for you, but why can't you bastards come up with such a good story?!

Comrade Governor and Patrick's gaze limits their judgment on this script and story, but who is Kevin Reynolds?

As the head of film distribution at Twentieth Century Fox, can you not have a pair of tricks that are extremely vicious and can tell whether a film is making money or losing money, whether it is a small profit or a big profit?

Definitely not!

The reason why he Kevin Reynolds was able to firmly sit in this position was because these eyes were vicious enough!

After reading the synopsis of this story called "The Terminator", Kevin Reynolds immediately realized that this is a good story, of course, a good story may not be able to make a good script, there are not too many examples of this, Kevin Reynolds also has this concern: The stock market is a good story, but can Chen Geng make this story into a good script suitable for the movie?

But after reading the script, the worry in his heart was instantly thrown out of the clouds: the story is a good story, the script is a good script, as long as you invite a director whose level is not too bad to shoot in strict accordance with the script, this movie will definitely make a lot of money!

As for the main actor of this movie, let Karen Carpenter play the heroine, Kevin Reynolds thinks it's okay, Connor Sarah in the script is actually a vase, and there is no requirement for acting skills, and let Arnold Schwarzenegger play the male protagonist of the T800 robot killer, originally he was still a little skeptical, but in his own eyes, Arnold After Schwarzenegger, he felt that it didn't seem to be a problem to let Schwarzenegger play this role: although this guy is not famous, not being famous also means that the salary is cheap.

As for the question of Schwarzenegger's Germanic accent...... Well, this character doesn't have a few lines anyway.

At the same time, the hearts of Mr. Governor and his agent were completely relaxed: a robot killer from the future really doesn't need to have any expressions, and he really doesn't need to say any nonsense, he just needs to hunt down the heroine in the movie with a cold face......

Nima!

It's simply a character for yourself/for Schwarzenegger!

Not only was Mr. Governor full of joy, but Patrick, as an agent, was even more ecstatic and could hardly help himself, as an agent, he still had the basic ability to judge, and it was clear that there was no role more than this for Schwarzenegger to avoid his strengths and weaknesses: strong, cold, and taciturn......

This character must be taken, this character must be taken!

He had a hunch: the turnaround that he and Arnold had been waiting for for a long time had finally come this time!

..................

Anyway, it has been mixed with Hollywood for more than ten years, even if Comrade Governor has no talent for acting, after more than ten years, the smoke has been smoked out, not to mention that Chen Geng also gave a sketch, so Comrade Governor changed into a black leather suit that was always ready for love according to the image setting given by Chen Geng, and then went there with sunglasses and an expressionless face......

Hey!

Don't say it, just rush to be strong, this cold aura that is born with no one can enter, absolutely not!

Looking at this dress of Comrade Governor, Kevin Reynolds's eyes suddenly lit up!

If he still thought that Arnold could play this role and the price was cheap, but after seeing the governor's costume, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart: The role setting of this T800 was simply born for this guy!

He no longer had any doubts about Chen Geng's choice in his heart.

Karen Carpenter, who was the heroine and had studied the script several times before the arrival of Comrade Governor, couldn't help but gasp after seeing the governor's dress: "Sizzle...... I think this character is for Arnold at all, this guy stops there, he doesn't have to talk at all, he's a robot killer from the future. ”

Chen Geng smiled and said, "Now you can rest assured, right?"

Karen Carpenter nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, there is no one more suitable for this role than this guy." ”

Hearing this, Patrick's happy tears were about to fall: as long as Arnold's role can be successful, and the movie called "The Terminator" can achieve a good result, his Hollywood acting career will be officially started, and he will finally be able to mix up and become a big star agent in Hollywood.

Mirren stood beside Patrick with a smile and made a gesture of invitation to him: "Mr. Patrick, we can talk about Mr. Schwarzenegger's salary." ”

"Salary?"

Hearing the salary this time, Patrick immediately calmed down from his previous excitement and quickly entered the role of the sub: "Oh, of course...... Dear Miss Mirren, you see, Arnold is the best candidate for the role, so ......"

"What is the salary you are looking forward to?" Mirren asked sharply after interrupting Patrick.

Patrick pursed his lips, he struggled a little, on the one hand, he knew that this role was very important to Arnold, and this might be the starting point of Arnold's Hollywood career, from this point of view, the salary is not the most important, the first thing, the first thing is to get the role - but now it seems that this matter is already inseparable;

On the other hand, Patrick also knew in his heart that he should not look at Arnold A. Schwarzenegger has been mixing with Hollywood for more than 10 years, but because of his accent, his popularity in Hollywood is really very average, and he can't even compare with the third-tier medium-well-known stars......

Just as Patrick hesitated, an urn-clad voice suddenly rang out: "Miss Mirren, I only need a dollar." ”

Arnold?

Patrick turned his head in surprise, looked at his employer who didn't know when he was standing behind him, and felt the urge to scold his mother: A dollar?

The governor is not crazy, as a bachelor's degree in business administration from Wisconsin State University, he is different from those muscular and simple-minded guys, he is muscular and has a good mind, so he is very clear about his current needs: to win the male lead of "The Terminator" at all costs!

And even if it is a symbolic salary of one dollar, he actually does not suffer, firstly, he used to appear in movies, because the role is small, usually only a few thousand dollars, and secondly, Mr. Fernandez's film and television production company has a completely different rule compared with other Hollywood companies, that is, when the movie is released, they will take out a part of the profits to distribute dividends to all the cast and crew of the film, the proportion is either 20% or 10%.

So even if you don't want to be paid now, as long as the box office performance of this movie is good, the share you can get may be tens or even millions of dollars, and you will definitely not suffer.

Facing Patrick's surprised gaze, Comrade Governor nodded at him: "Patrick, you know, I'm not really short of money, what I'm lacking is just a suitable opportunity, don't worry, I will pay you privately for your brokerage." Miss Mirren, I'm ......"

"There is no need for this," without waiting for the governor to finish his words at the same time, Mirren waved his hand: "I will pay you as much as I want to kill, we will not give you a penny less, and your salary for this movie is $300,000." Are you still satisfied?"

It's not that Comrade Governor doesn't want to be paid, it's just that he prefers to get this opportunity, but if he can get money while seizing the opportunity, then of course he has no opinion, and the salary of $300,000 is indeed not low, which is the salary that only Hollywood's second-tier actors can get, and immediately nodded without hesitation: "OK, I have no problem, so be it." ”

He thought that this was almost the case, but he didn't think that at this time, Mirren made another suggestion, a proposal that moved the hearts of Comrade Governor and Patrick: sign a package contract for five films with a total of $5 million plus a 1% box office share.

The salary of five films is $5 million, which is an average of $1 million per movie;

Box office share is the patent of Hollywood's top stars, although the 1% share ratio is a lot, but with the excitement of Mr. Fernandez's first two movies, even if the average box office of each movie is only 70 million US dollars, he can also get a box office share of 700,000 US dollars, which is another 3.5 million US dollars, which is several times his current worth, plus the boss also has the habit of giving red envelopes after making money from the movie, and after five movies, he can get a total salary of at least 12 million US dollars......

For Comrade Governor, who has a bachelor's degree in business administration, this account is easy to settle, so his breath suddenly becomes short: "Miss Mirren, you're not kidding?"

"You think I'm kidding?"

Can't hesitate, the pie falling from the sky must be caught quickly, Comrade Governor nodded without hesitation: "OK, no problem!"
