Chapter 21: Audition invitations sent to future goddesses
In the "original script", Miramax sold it to Time Warner a few years later for $70 million.
But that price was when Miramax Films had to sell itself after several years of recession. Today, Miramax Films, although it has seen some decline, is still the strongest independent film company.
$10 million more expensive than later.
It's worth it. Now that he has money in his pocket, Abel is too lazy to sort out a film company by himself.
He played movies just as a springboard for himself to enter the media industry, and by the way, he prepared for the "business" he could communicate with the goddesses in the future.
If he wants to work hard to build a film company from scratch, he really can't do it.
And now he doesn't have the money to buy the kind of media giant or the Hollywood giant.
Then Miramax Films' level is currently the best acquisition target.
First, it has its own independent set of boards for filmmaking, secondly it even has its own distribution channels, and finally - because of the Weinstein brothers.
Regardless of their reputation in the future, at least the two brothers are really capable, especially in the future in terms of Oscar public relations.
It's second to none.
Although they may be unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, Abel is confident that his strength will grow faster than the ambition of the two brothers, and he will always be like Mount Tai on top of them, and they will not be able to climb their own Five Finger Mountain.
That being the case.
Why not?
Abel is not a moral gentleman.
It's just that the acquisition of the film company is a big deal, and Harvey can't make a decision right away.
He wanted to go back and discuss it with his brother, and Abel smiled and agreed.
However, the script that Abel took out and wanted to make a movie did not need to be discussed.
In the face of Abel's desire to acquire Miramax Films, Harvey has been preparing for Abel's film shooting from now on.
And the first step in making a movie, of course, is the script, the director, and the actors. In order of importance, in front and forth. Of course, sometimes if the actor or director is too good to overpower the script, this order can be changed.
The male protagonist in the script has long been decided by Abel. This movie is in the "original script", and it is because of this actor that it was able to achieve that level of success.
Without the participation of this now very unambitious actor, the film would not have been successful at all.
The actor has been decided.
Abel asked Alvertelli to find the other party, and the other party happily signed the contract for $300,000 and signed three films in a row, doubling the salary for each film.
In other words, after shooting three movies, the future actor can get a salary of $1.5 million.
For the current actor, it's like pie in the sky.
You must know that he is now making cameos in some Hollywood movies, playing supporting roles in some TV series, and being a guest in some variety shows, and the remuneration is only tens of thousands of dollars.
suddenly got such a "sky-high contract" for him, and he didn't agree to it.
The actor has agreed, and the script that belongs to him has been sent. According to Alvertelli, the other party was overjoyed after reading the script, thinking that the film was completely customized for him.
He liked the script so much that he didn't even have the slightest idea of changing it.
When he heard the news, Abel smiled slightly.
The reason why the actor likes this script so much is actually very simple. Because in the "original script"
In it, the script of this movie is that he and the director worked together to transform it into a horror thriller detective movie, and it was changed into a good movie that could sell $351 million at the box office.
The actor has been decided.
And this movie has him, if it is made according to the script, it will definitely not fail.
Abel's next concern is that it is not so important to the movie, but for him this is the most important reason for making this movie.
He is no longer ready to choose the original heroine, anyway, in the movie, the heroine is just a beautiful vase, and she only needs to be responsible for being beautiful and sexy throughout the whole process.
Anyone can change it.
There is no need to have the original heroine, who is called the original heroine, he already has a better arrangement.
He is going to ask Harvey to help with a Hollywood casting to select the heroine of the $30 million film.
Hey!
That's what he's doing in Hollywood.
Casting!
Hollywood's legendary red couch!
The unspoken rules of Hollywood legends!
How can you not give it a try?
Harvey left.
He's going to work on Abel's casting, as well as the sale of the company, and the filming of a new movie.
This fat man's ability to work is still very good.
As soon as he left.
Abel whistled lightly, and after a moment's thought, he called Alvertelli, the butler, again.
"Al. I have a couple of Hollywood movie casting invitations here, and I ask you to send them out for me and give them to a few of the actors I have named. I hope to invite them over and participate in the selection of the heroine of my new film. ”
Alvertelli didn't want his boss as a scientist genius to go to Hollywood to play without doing good scientific research.
But he also understood.
Even if you don't want your boss to do this, your boss will still do his own thing. If you say something to dissuade yourself, it will cause the boss to hate it, so it's better not to say it.
Anyway, all kinds of geniuses in legends, especially in science, often have all kinds of quirks.
Probably a genius like the boss wants to make a movie, which is also his quirk.
After understanding it in this way.
Alferteli is willing to work hard to complete the boss's work, because scientists can often increase their work focus and energy by more than 100% after satisfying their quirks.
If the boss can do his job well after having enough fun in Hollywood, then Alvertelli thinks that Hollywood should send it to the boss to have fun!
From the table, picking up a few invitations requested by the boss, Alvertelli glanced at the name of the first page of the invitation.
found that they were all strange or not well-known starlets, and they were all women.
For example, one of them is called Jennifer Aniston, if it weren't for a TV series he just watched recently, the actress just appeared as a supporting role, he probably wouldn't know who this Jennifer Aniston is.
Another example is this one called Nicole Kidman, and Alvertelli doesn't know who it is, as if it's from a recent movie that has just been released.
And this one named Catherine Zeta-Jones, who is still an Englishman, has to send the invitation to an address in England by plane as quickly as possible.
The owner is really ......
Ay.
He's happy anyway.
Alvertelli had no choice but to do so.
