First of all, although "Knives Out" is Lu Xiaoran's first English-language film, he can mobilize more than 100 million US dollars in capital!

No matter how you calculate it, Lu Xiaoran is a director above A.

The return on investment is high!

However, the producers of "Knives Out" are Orange Manufacturing + Warner and Lu Xiaoran Film Studio.

His director's remuneration of $12 million is factored into the production cost, and the higher the total cost, the lower the share he enjoys...

Therefore, Lu Xiaoran's own expectation is less than $60 million.

Nima, Xiao Lizi's mouth is $20 million and 15% of the box office dividends?

The face is so big!

"If you think his offer is too high, he can personally invest $10 million, but he will ask for 25% of the profit in the later stage!"

“... 25%？”

"Yes. Wen Ziren continued: "Leonardo is not only an actor, but also a well-known producer, he owns the Appian Way Productions, and in recent years has been investing in the films he has participated in, including "The Revenant", which won an Oscar last year... He's shrewd!"

Xiao Lizi was born as a child star, has worked hard in the circle for more than 20 years, and knows very well about the process of investment and account sharing in the circle, so he always strives for the greatest power in the films he participates in.

"No, it's too expensive, I can't accept it!"

If it was Lu Xiaoran five years ago, maybe she would have agreed - cooperating with top Hollywood actors, blowing it out is also a qualification.

Now, he doesn't need this way of gilding ...

"What's your bottom line?"

"$15 million in salary, no shares..."

Wen Ziren smiled: "Impossible, Leonardo can't reduce his salary because of you!"

“... Forget it, I don't have to be him anyway. ”

Wen Ziren picked up the wine glass and touched him: "I didn't win the first prize of "The Martian", I feel uncomfortable, right?"

Lu Xiaoran waved his hand: "What is expected, what is uncomfortable, "The Great Wall" is not even nominated!"

Wen Ziren blew up: "Long... Great Wall... It's a popcorn movie, how can there be a nomination..."

“... I'll just say it casually!"

Wen Ziren didn't want to pay attention to him...

"I'll tell you a script and I'm guaranteed to win an Oscar!"

“...”

Lu Xiaoran took a sip of red wine and said seriously: "A disabled black gay man who retired from the battlefield in Afghanistan got AIDS because of injections, and then he continued to improve himself, participated in various social movements, and finally died in the crowd of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Before he died, all the white leftists sang "doyouhearthepeoplesing" in unison, and the film ended. ”

"The title of the film can be called "People's Hero"!"

This is a nonsense on the Internet - must win the Oscar for Best Picture Template Script.

Of course Lu Xiaoran is joking...

Wen Ziren actually thought about it for a while and then said: "You don't have to occupy Wall Street, you can use it in other places..."

Lu Xiaoran paused for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "I'm joking, don't take it seriously." ”

"Open... Are you kidding?"

"This is circulated in a website in China, if you know Chinese, you can see a lot of satirical Oscar politically correct jokes!"

......

Beijing.

The crew of "The God of Indian Medicine", Wen Muye was nervous again, he actually suggested to Chen Zhixi that Lu Xiaoran should play a role and play Lu to benefit...

I was nervous before, and I asked that the filming time of this drama be four months!

Nima, a realistic film, your entire four-month shooting cycle, what's wrong, you are better than other directors?

But Huang Bo agreed...

Day!

Chen Zhixi directly refused: "He doesn't have time!"

"Ask me, he found this script, which means that he must be interested!"

Chen Zhixi snapped his fingers and counted with him: "He has three movies this year, "New World" is half filmed, and it is estimated that it will be completed in April; "Tang Detective 2" will take two months to shoot, and then there will be a "Knives Out"..."

"You say, how can he have time?"

“... He's not the protagonist.,There's always such a thing as time crowding.,You can help me ask.,a... No, two months is enough!"

"Okay, I'll help you ask!"

Chen Zhixi can also understand him, after all, this is his first movie, it is normal for Lu Xiaoran to come and support it...

Actually, Wen Muye really thinks that Lu Xiaoran is a very good actor.

Of course, I do have a collection habit - a drama that gathers Huang Bo + Lu Xiaoran, tsk, this starting point, the pinnacle of life!

Hehe, and Wu Jingkai - the current Wu Jingkai is 'just' on the front line, and when "Wolf Warrior 2" is released, Wen Muye will know how awesome the cast of "God of Medicine" directed by Wen Muye is!

Receiving Chen Zhixi's call, Lu Xiaoran was a little surprised: "Find me to act..."

"Yes, he said he was very optimistic about your ability to shape the character!"

“... Pull it down, how can I have time to figure out the role, Lu Yingyi is definitely not good!"

However, he didn't say absolutely, but asked: "What other roles?

"Sun Dasheng... No, Sun Dasheng must be Wu Jing... No, why don't you make a cameo appearance as a passerby?"

"Did the Swiss medical representative find a good actor?"

“... He's a villain!"

"What's wrong with the villain? The villain is not a person? I'll take that role, you tell Wen Muye, I join the group in May, and I'll give him two weeks!"

Chen Zhixi hung up the phone, and then found Wen Muye and told him the news, Wen Muye scratched his head: "Then do I want to change the character design?"

“... As you see fit. ”

Wen Muye struggled for a while, and then called the screenwriter Han Jianu, and in the end, the two decided to change the character of the medical representative, who can be domineering, but there must be an explanation, for example, he will say in the show that the development cost of genuine medicine and the like, you can't set him up as a villain who is extremely evil...

After all, it is now Lu Xiaoran who plays this role!

......

Lu Xiaoran has returned to Hong Kong, and the crew helped him hold a celebration party.

I didn't win a prize, but there was still a celebration party?

Yang Shoucheng's original words: 'Being shortlisted for the Oscar is a victory!'

Well, anyway, the shooting went smoothly, and Lu Xiaoran didn't rush the schedule, so the drinking party would be a drinking party.

Hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaoran said to Huang Bo who was sitting next to him: "You actually asked me to act!"

"No, what's the show?"

Huang Bo was also surprised...

Since "Source Code", no one has handed Lu Xiaoran a script, but some people want to invite him to make a cameo, but he refused...

"The God of Medicine... It's just the same that the two of us are in the group together!"

"You promised?"

"Hmm..."

"How could you say yes?"

"That subject is a bit sensitive, so I'll add a little more weight to my speech..."

The most important thing is that the big golden retriever said that "The God of Indian Medicine", that is, "I am not the God of Medicine", is the highest-rated movie in the mainland after 10 years, and it has a bumper harvest in terms of word-of-mouth and box office!

Participate in such works, do not lose share.
