Ding Cheng finished reading the renderings, it was indeed very gorgeous and shocking, since the other party was straight to the point, he also said bluntly: "I actually care more about the story and the charm of the characters than the visual spectacle that shocks the eyeballs." ”

"I think superhero movies should be an inspiration to the audience and inspire people to do the right thing, right?"

Wen Ziren was stunned for a moment, looked at Ding Cheng's serious expression, and suddenly laughed and said, "That's right!"

"I definitely think that this Aquaman is not a superhero movie in the traditional sense, but more like a classic adventure fantasy story!"

"I had to present the character in a very powerful and cool way, of course, except for the special effects, all the main actors had to go through hard physical and stunt training, especially the male lead, who had to give the audience a strong and powerful image as soon as he appeared on the stage. ”

Speaking of this, Ding Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Do you think my image will be?"

Wen Ziren understood Ding Cheng's concerns, and said with a serious face: "Arthur was originally a half-blood prince, after all, it was a superhero electric setting, and the concept of nationality was very vague. ”

"Coupled with all kinds of special effects makeup, your face will be re-portrayed and interpreted, but what attracts the audience the most is the strong and perfect muscles and the force of the god of war. ”

Ding Cheng pouted, you still have to sell meat!

The plot is very simple, in addition to himself, there are many big names to join, such as Nicole Kidman, who plays the queen of Atlantis, and Arthur, the crystallized sea king who knows and falls in love with humans and gives birth to love together.

Growing up, he received rigorous training from Vico, the mentor played by Willem Dafoe, and was always eager to visit his mother, but as an illegitimate child of mixed race, this was an extravagant hope.

At the same time, his half-brother Orm became king of Atlantis, and he was dissatisfied with the poison and pollution of the sea by the terrestrial humans, so he planned to unite with other undersea kingdoms to launch an all-out war against the land.

To thwart his ambitions, Vico and Orm's fiancée, Mera, take Arthur to the underwater world.

Fate propelled Arthur to find the long-lost Trident and build a more enlightened underwater kingdom.

Before he arrived, he specialized in studying this character, and first appeared in the 73rd issue of "Fun Manga" in 1941. Originally a son of a human named Aquaman, he lives in the temple of Atlantis that sank to the bottom of the sea, and obtains superhuman powers such as superhuman strength and underwater breathing through training and scientific experiments.

Later, this version of Aquaman was assigned to Earth Two and was erased from existence in the Infinite Earth Crisis event, to put it bluntly, he was a small role in soy sauce.

To say that DC has been overwhelmed by Marvel in recent years, Superman and Batman have been beaten by Iron Man and Captain America, and people have even created a successful Marvel Universe, and a small character can be called for wind and rain at the box office all over the world.

DC, as Big Brother,

How embarrassing!

Ding Cheng looked at the image picture designed by Wen Ziren, with long brown hair, strong muscles and dense tattoos, not so much referring to the shape in the comics, and finally understood why he said that just now......

Isn't this Xu Jinjiang!

Ding Cheng has the bottom in his heart, to be honest, as long as it is not a skin problem, he can control his facial muscles a little bit, make the lines more three-dimensional and wild, and add special effects makeup, it is not a big problem.

Finally nodded and said, "I want to challenge it!"

"Okay!" Wen Ziren's hanging heart finally landed, and he said excitedly: "Sign the contract immediately and start training as soon as possible." ”

Looking at the director's state of fighting chicken blood, Ding Cheng secretly laughed, this chat completely subverted the impression of the horror master.

It seems that there will be such a boy in every school, a skinny monkey, who usually makes trouble in class, and can take the top few exams without reading books, not tall and handsome, but he can always soak in the beautiful senior sister, and even the teacher punishes him for standing on the one hand, and favors him on the other.

Clever and energetic, this Warner is the best director of horror films, with a thin little body dangling in T-shirt jeans, laughing forward and backward like a teenage boy, speaking extremely fast, giving enough information and effect, and being as careful as a hair.

"Your muscles are amazing!"

Wen Ziren watched Ding Cheng take off his shirt, and said even more shocked: "This is the most beautiful body I have ever seen, there is no one!"

Ding Cheng smiled and said nothing, Lao Tzu is tortured by the system every day, can he be awesome?

"The hardest fitness doesn't have to be considered, below is surfing and diving, you ......"

Ding Cheng waved his hand and said confidently: "I have a professional license for diving, and surfing is okay, so the assault is not a big problem." ”

Wen Ziren gave a thumbs up, professional!

No wonder this guy can sweep Southeast Asia, at first he just liked a beautiful body of muscles and athletic cells, coupled with strong box office appeal, anyway, it is a hero setting, and race is not a big problem.

Now even the schedule can be advanced a lot, and the cost saved can be used to make more special effects shots, which is simple!

Back at the hotel, Su Yao looked at the dozens of pages thick contract template and sighed: "It's worthy of Hollywood!"

Ding Cheng looked at the busy figure of several legal advisers of the company, fortunately he had already prepared, this time the salary was 6 million US dollars, and there was no overseas share, of course, he could make some small requests.

Converted into almost 40 million yuan, far more than the domestic offer, but for the 20 million club of Hollywood first-line superstars, there is still a big gap.

After all, he has not proven his strength in this land, and the reason why Warner is willing to pay six million is also based on his past achievements.

According to Hollywood, an actor's offer means the basic amount of money needed to invite online talent, also known as film creatives, to the set.

Offline workers, i.e., crew members and those engaged in technical work such as hairstylists, makeup artists, and special effects artists, are paid according to the hours worked.

Of course, no matter how high the offer is, for the broker, there is a constant attempt to raise this amount, and there is no end to it.

Make a bid each time and strive for more benefits in each successful transaction, which in turn will become the basis for the next trade offer.

This is the way of survival of Hollywood agents, taking 10% of their actors' income, the bigger the agent, the more power, many times the director can only see the star on the set, and the rest has to negotiate with the agent.

It didn't happen overnight, and early screen artists were almost free. During the so-called golden age of Hollywood, that is, from the 20s to the early 60s of the 20th century, every studio established a star system that cultivated and exploited actors by signing long-term contracts with them and paying them a base salary.

The film giants call the actors who sign the contract as their personal property, and the dream lover of countless men, Marilyn Monroe, earns only $18,000 for playing "Gentlemen Love Beauty", because the contract signed is paid $1,500 a week.

On the contrary, another female lead, Jane Russell, is a freelance actress, and the film earned $100,000, do you say funny or not?

The signing company has become a vulnerable group?
