Chapter 398 heroine
After talking about the nicknames that annoyed John, the conversation returned to work.
"Are you interested in actors?" Nancy is very interested in the actors of the film, John is now popular, and his works have attracted more attention than before, as the president of ICM, she naturally hopes to stuff a few more people into John's crew, even if she can't get the protagonist, it's good to have a few supporting roles.
"Black actors still let Will Smith play the role, and black actresses ......." John frowned and thought for a while: "I remember that there seems to be a black female artist named Halle Berry in the company, so let her try it!"
"Okay!" Nancy was overjoyed, the role of a black actress is one of the heroines of the film, and she is a good character.
"Let George Clooney, who just recruited the company, play the white male lead!"
"He's only acted in a few TV series, and he's not famous, and he's never played a movie role, are you sure you give him such an important role?" Although Nancy wants to stuff some people into John's crew, she definitely doesn't want to affect the box office because of the actors, John's movie box office is linked to ICM's commission, and it is also linked to her agent's income.
"I dare to use Will Smith who has never acted in a movie, not to mention George Clooney, he was born into a family of actors, and he has also acted in several TV series, and his acting skills are definitely better than Will Smith. "What George Clooney lacks is not acting skills but opportunities, since he was poached to ICM, John naturally wants to give him a ride, he becomes a superstar, and ICM's income will be higher.
"Okay, I'll go back and inform him. Nancy thinks John's words are right, Will Smith's acting skills are not the protagonist, George Clooney is definitely much better than him, why can't he use it.
"I've got a white actress, so let Kate Beckinsale play it! "John is a man of his word, and naturally he will not forget his promise.
Kate Beckinsale entered ICM after graduating from Oxford last year, and Nancy found her a role in the TV series "Friends" to practice her acting skills, and after a year of training, it was almost the same.
"Hey, stupid people have stupid blessings!" Nancy sighed after listening to the heroine candidate, if Kate Beckinsale hadn't been stupid as John's spare tire at the beginning, she would definitely not have the opportunity to play such an important role now, so in the words that are more popular in China, it is a fool who has a foolish fortune, the female version of Forrest Gump.
The president let Bill Pullman play the role, the president's wife let Julianne Moore play the role, and the father of the male lead let Sean Connery play the ....... John decided on the more important roles in the film, and the unimportant ones were left to Nancy and Zack Schneider.
After talking about the actors, John talked to everyone about other production matters, and he will continue to hand over the special effects of the film to Industrial Light & Magic, which at this time no special effects company in Hollywood can reach the production level of Industrial Light & Magic.
Weta Digital has only been established for a year, although the digital field has been established for a few years, but the strength is still not comparable to Industrial Light and Magic, "Independence Day" is such a big investment, John must choose the strongest person to cooperate, and "Independence Day" involves aliens, Industrial Light & Magic has been producing "Star Wars" for so many years, and it is definitely the most experienced in aliens and alien battleships.
"By the way, Nancy, remember to find a film modeler to model it. John almost forgot about it, he might have made a mistake if it weren't for the special effects company, which blew up a lot of famous buildings in Independence Day, such as the White House, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, ...... also blew up all kinds of warplanes parked at the airport, alien planet spacecraft, although at this time can use special effects to directly complete these shots, but the special effects are always a bit virtual picture, and the impact is not as strong as using miniatures to shoot, so John decided to find a movie modeler to model.
And John decided to build more, the Eiffel Tower, Westminster Abbey, the pyramids, the Brandenburg Gate, the Kremlin...... These famous landmarks are all built, and then bombed, as well as aircraft carriers, various warplanes, and alien spaceships, and some more are also built, and then they will be blown up at one time.
Of course, building so many models is a big project, and these models can't be built casually, even if they are shot in macro, people can't tell the real from the fake.
After chatting about the film work, everyone chatted about some gossip again, and did not leave one after another to rest until ten in the morning.
The next day, after John got up and had some breakfast, he met Cora in the study, the World Cup ended early, John's little butterfly wings failed to fan the final ending, Baggio and Maradona still left the United States with regrets, Brazil finally won the Hercules Cup, four times king, but the happiest person is still John, this World Cup he made 1.23 billion US dollars on the periphery.
"This is your card, there are a total of $1.33 billion in it, of which $100 million is the principal, and the remaining $1.23 billion is the money earned from this World Cup. Cora returned the card that John had given her, and she was going to give it to John as soon as the World Cup was over, but John had been staying at Morgan Manor some time ago because of the attack, so there was no chance to give it to John.
John took the card and looked at it, then gave it to Danie, who asked her to use the money to help the MSF go to McDonnell Douglas to purchase two newly developed C-17 transport planes, one converted into a cargo plane for general cargo and one converted into a medical plane for transporting medical equipment and medicines.
C-17 is not the largest transport aircraft in the United States, larger than it is Lockheed's C-5 "Galaxy", but John is not transporting weapons, why do you want to be so big, C-17 nearly 100 tons of load is enough, and C-17 has an advantage, in an emergency can be short-distance landing on unrepaired roads, the work of the Borderless Public Welfare Foundation is rescue, and most countries and regions to go can rarely provide professional runways, so this advantage has a great effect on rescue.
It's just that although the thing is good, the price is also very expensive, a C-17 plus modification costs more than 200 million US dollars, and two will cost almost 500 million US dollars, but this is also good, when people buy it in India, it costs more than 500 million US dollars, so Lao Mei is sometimes enough to pit Ah San.
In addition to procuring two C-17 transport planes, John also asked Daniel to procure two Black Hawk helicopters for emergency transportation of the wounded, or to transport some medicine and relief supplies to some obstructed places.
The last is to purchase a few official cars with a price of 5-80,000 US dollars, people who do public welfare are not suitable for driving luxury cars, and the impact is not good, but 5-80,000 US dollars of cars are not bad, American cars are not as expensive as Huaxia, and 80,000 US dollars can almost buy a Mercedes-Benz S-class.
Huaxia cars are expensive in tariffs, and there are no tariffs on buying American cars in the United States, and the tariffs on European cars are also low, so they are naturally much cheaper.
After buying the rest of the money, John asked Dani to spend $100 million to rebuild two Morgan 1s, and then gave the last remaining money to the Borderless Foundation.
It is estimated that half of this money will be left in the end, about $600 million, which is a lot of money, enough for the Borderless Foundation to use for several years.
