A month later, John finished the script and storyboard and prepared to return to Los Angeles to prepare for the pre-production of the new film. Before going to Los Angeles, he had to go to Yale to see the graduating "female leopard".

New York is not far from New Haven, where Yale is located, an hour's drive from 80 kilometers.

When you enter New Haven and enter the famous Phelps Arch, you will gradually see more and more Gothic buildings, all built in different periods, and walking in them is like taking a trip through time.

Before going to Charlize Theron, John went to the bronze statue of Nathan Hale and placed a bouquet of white roses that had been prepared under the bronze statue.

"My only regret is that I can only dedicate my life to the motherland once. With these words, John felt that the warrior was worthy of respect. It is precisely because of this group of people that there is hope in any country.

After seeing the bronze statue of Nathan Hale, John found the School of Drama, because he had come at a good time, so it was time for class not long after arriving at the School of Drama.

John called the leopard her, and the two met at the door of the cafeteria, and it wasn't long before John saw the smiling leopard female approaching from a distance.

"Hello Director Chris Deng!"

"Hello, you look really good. ”

Charlize Theron at this time is very different from what John saw three years ago, although John was dressed well when he saw her three years ago, he lacked temperament and confidence, and now his face is full of confidence, and he still has a temperament in his bones.

"Thank you! I'm going to treat you to lunch, the food in the cafeteria is good!" Charlize Theron invited John to eat with.

"I'd better treat you to dinner!" John smiled, and although he wanted to try Yale food, he couldn't just eat out.

"Okay!" Charlize Theron didn't insist because John didn't want to eat the big pot of rice.

The two then walked out of the school and came to the RV parked on the side of the road, Charlize Theron walked into John's RV for the first time, so he was curious about everything in the car, John ignored her, and got into the car and went straight to lunch.

Steak, tomato, lettuce...... In ten minutes, two lunches were freshly baked.

"Come, try my exclusive double beef burger, it's not enough, it's enough. ”

John platters the burger and hands it to Charlize Theron, and the RV can't be full of people! John's RV has strict safety requirements, and it's good to be able to heat food on it.

"Thank you!"

Charlize Theron is not a picky eater, and it is already good for people who have just come out to work hard to fill their stomachs, so they are still qualified to pick and choose, and there are female models with an annual salary of millions of dollars, but after all, they are only a few, and most people are already good if they can mix food and clothing.

"You're about to graduate, the new line will produce nine movies this year, and there are several heroines you can play, one is "Mission Impossible 2", one is "Fast and Furious 1", and the other is "Legend of the Night 1", in addition to "Mission Impossible", the other two are series, and you can choose any one of these three movies to star in. ”

The new line will produce nine films this year, "Mission Impossible 2", "Fast and Furious 1", "Independence Day 2", "Tales from the Night 1", "The King of Words", "Soul Catcher", "Ace Spy", "Reborn Man", "The Matrix 1", and John will give Charlize Theron the best roles to choose.

"Which film will you direct?" Charlize Theron did not choose, she wanted to star in John's film.

"The Matrix, a science fiction film. John replied.

"Then I'll choose The Matrix. Charlize Theron said without hesitation.

Although those three movies are good, how can you star in John's movies!

Although there is no such and such girl in North America, all the protagonists who starred in John's movies are popular, Sandra Bullock, Nicolas Cage, Will Smith, Tom Hanks, Jim Carrey, and Kate Beckinsale are slightly weaker, but they are also third-tier stars now, how many people can rush to the third tier with one movie!

Don't look down on third-tier actors, it's already good to be able to mix in the third-tier in Hollywood, and make a movie to get an endorsement, at least you can earn one million a year. Among the total number of actors in the United States, 73% of them earn less than $7,500, 12% between $7,600 and $15,000, 9% between $15,000 and $30,000, 4% between $30,000 and $1 million, and only 2% over $1 million , so it's good to be one of the two percent, and there are many people who have not earned more than $50,000 a year after 30 years of filming, and there are actors who can't afford to pay the rent in the run-down apartment complex ten kilometers ahead of Malibu Beach, where celebrity mansions gather.

"Are you sure you're going to star in my movie? It's a lot of sacrifice, at least you can't keep your blonde hair, you have to cut it to about the length of mine, you have to dye it black, and you have to go through four months of training. John didn't mean to make things difficult for Charlize Theron, but the heroine of the film is a woman with short black hair, and John's setting is even shorter than in the original version, almost an inch of hair.

Some women are so concerned about their hair that it's almost impossible to use scissors, and although Charlize Theron cut her hair short in "Mad Max", that was many years later, and John can't guarantee that the current Charlize Theron is willing to cut it.

"No problem! it doesn't matter if you shave your head, become fat, or look ugly, as long as the movie requires me to make any sacrifices. Charlize Theron said without hesitation, experiencing the hardships at the bottom, these are nothing to her, and shaving her head, becoming fat, and pretending to be ugly is a kind of luck, many people want to have this kind of opportunity, and some people have investigated that the probability of becoming a star in Hollywood is 1 in 1.14 million. The odds of becoming John's heroine may be at least doubled, the odds of winning a lottery ticket are higher than it, and now there is a chance to star in John's movies, and if you still pick and choose, you will be struck by lightning.

"Okay, but the pay is low! I can only give you this number......" John wiped his mouth and held out three fingers. "Three hundred thousand dollars. ”

Charlize Theron frowned slightly after hearing this, and looked at John. "You're giving a little too much, aren't you?"

Charlize Theron is not the kind of rookie who doesn't know anything, she knew a few actors before becoming a model, knew some things about Hollywood, and newcomers like her who have never made a movie generally do not pay more than $100,000, most of them are between $70,000 and $80,000.

Even if you have made a movie, as long as you don't star in it, the salary for the second film will basically not exceed $300,000.

The salary of low-level actors in Hollywood is unimaginably low, and Gal Gadot had made several "Fast and Furious" before filming "Wonder Woman", but her salary was only $300,000 when she filmed "Wonder Woman". Robert Downey Jr. was paid less than $500,000 when he played "Iron Man", so John's $300,000 for Charlize Theron was indeed a bit too high.

Of course, the main actors of Hollywood films will have a box office share, but John's films generally do not have this thing, not even super-A-list stars, Tom Hanks starred in "Saving Private Ryan" also got 15 million US dollars, for John, there is no one who is irreplaceable, more than 20 million US dollars in salary is impossible, unless there is a sequel, otherwise John petitions to spend 300,000 to find a good newcomer to play, so that he can save 19.7 million US dollars, the box office still depends on the level of film production, not whether there are big names starring, many box office blockbuster films are played by newcomers, and 19.7 million US dollars invested in production can make the film more refined, especially special effects movies, you get what you pay for。

"You just graduated and don't have much money, so give you more, and the second and third parts will give you less. John knew that Charlize Theron didn't have any savings, so he gave her a little more, and the money would last for a year.

"Thank you! I don't know how to thank you for helping me so much!" Charlize Theron's eyes were a little red, there were many people who had come to the United States to oppress her for so many years and wanted to benefit from her, but John was the only one who really helped her.

"No thanks, just buy me a bottle of Mouton when you become a big star!"

"Yes!"

Charlize Theron lowered her head and put the last bit of burger in her mouth, and two tears silently dripped down her white cheeks onto the table.
