Chapter 80: Abel the extra

and corridor lounge inside.

The 6 actresses who are anxiously waiting for the event to officially start are different.

Inside the audition room.

Because there was another passage, several other people had already entered through another door.

There were three men and one woman in total.

The woman is Elizabeth Williams, one of the company's producers, who is one of the veterans of Miramax Films, and has a strong ability to work behind the scenes.

Basically, most of the behind-the-scenes work for the Weinstein brothers' films was arranged by her. In the company's various crews, in addition to not making movies, regardless of finances, she almost interferes in other work.

Three other men.

One is Chuck Russell, the director of the disguised weird, he is the director in the "original plot", and now Abel also asked Harvey to find the director, trying his best to make the disguised weird be the same as the original.

Chuck Russell, at present, although he is a long-time director in Hollywood, he has been making movies since 1980.

But he has been shooting all kinds of low-budget horror films, just like the original script of the disguised monster is also a horror film, the disguised monster he shot should have been just a horror thriller detective drama.

But it's good to die, the actor is actually Jim Carrey......

So......

The little director met the destined king of comedy, Chuck Russell, who couldn't grind Jim Carrey, and the script and shooting were blindly changed by Jim Carrey, which led to the emergence of classic horror comedies in disguise.

also made him famous later.

achieved the fame of Jim Carrey, the king of comedy, and also allowed Chuck Russell himself to finally upgrade from a small director to a famous director, so that he could later shoot the Haunted Street series.

That's right...... Mr. Director, who filmed a strange man in disguise, is the director of the famous series of horror films Ghost Street in the future!

A comedy that makes people laugh so much that they lose their teeth, and a series of horror films that make people afraid to go to the toilet when they see it, directed by one person, it looks a little incredible.

But adding a Jim Carrey's words in the middle is more understandable.

Chuck Russell is obviously a soft-eared director, if he doesn't. When filming the Strange Jack in disguise, it is impossible to obey Jim Carrey just because he is the leading actor. At this time, Jim Carrey was just a small comedian who was well-known in the TV circle, and his fame was not so great that the director and screenwriter could change the script.

Able to make the disguised monster appear.

In addition to Jim Carrey's ability, Chuck Russell's softer roots, or more able to listen to other people's advice, is also a big reason.

It is precisely because of this that Abel decided to find him to direct the strange masterpiece in disguise.

In addition to Chuck Russell and Elizabeth Williams, the other two men in the audition room, one is Harvey Weinstein, and the last one is Abel Sephorosa.

"So, from today onwards Mr. Sefrosa is our boss. Russell and Elizabeth, I hope you understand this. ”

In the audition room, Abel introduced Abel's identity to the company's directors and producers.

Elizabeth and Chuck, of course, didn't dare to say anything, and the two of them nodded yes again and again.

Abel smiled and shook hands with the two staff members, and said with a smile: "I'm going to trouble you today." There are also movies, and I have a lot of scripts in the future, so I hope you can help shoot them. Russell, in particular, your full name is Chuck Russell, right? I think I could call you Chakra. Chakra, would you like to become the company's contracted director?"

"Chakra?" Chakra Russell was stunned, a little puzzled by this strange name, but when he heard Abel's words, he immediately threw this strange name to Java, and hurriedly asked respectfully:

"What is it like to sign a director?"

There are very few companies in Hollywood that can sign a permanent director, except that the director himself is the owner of the company, such as Spielberg and his dream factory.

Other times.

Most Hollywood directors are independent, and at most they set up a studio, and when they shoot a movie, they can use the name of the studio to get a share of the shooting costs.

Basically, when investors or film companies have a good script, they pick the director and actors, and start filming after negotiating with the director and actors.

At most, when shooting a series, I will agree with the director at the beginning to shoot at least a few films.

"How much are you paid now?" Abel asked his new name, Chuck Russell.

"Uh...... For a small cost, it is about $200,000 to $400,000. For investments of more than $30 million, a minimum of $1 million is required...... But I've only shot one such movie. This is my second film with an investment of more than $30 million. Chakra said honestly.

"How about a 20% increase on this standard?" Abel said with a smile. He is actually not very optimistic about Chakra's shooting ability, his most powerful thing is Ghost Street, not a big director.

But he was very obedient, and even when an actor like Jim Carrey, who was not famous at the time, made a good suggestion, he was willing to accept it, and even made the style of the whole movie change.

Abel is optimistic about his obedience, and what he wants is also this obedience.

There are good movies in the small wrecking ball, but it doesn't necessarily take the original director to make every step. If he could use the original director, of course he would use the original director, provided that it was cheaper.

If it doesn't work, use your own director. Anyway, his scripts are so detailed that he even has to shoot sub-shots, and when shooting such a movie, a director who doesn't have many ideas of his own is a good director.

Chakra is such an obedient director.

Obviously, it's more appropriate.

Hearing Abel's Abel, Chakra thought for a while and agreed.

He is now an out-and-out little director, the disguised monster has not appeared, and the ghost street has not yet appeared, and people are soft-spoken in Hollywood.

Now someone is willing to raise the salary by 20% to invite himself, and of course he has nothing to dislike about it.

"Okay. No problem!I do!" he replied crisply.

"Okay. Abel nodded with satisfaction and said to Harvey, "I'll leave the contract to you, Harvey." ”

Harvey Weinstein smiled bitterly, he was already numb to Abel's approach of which one he wanted, nodded and said:

"No problem. ”

"Okay!"

Harvey, Elizabeth, and Chakra, I'm sorry for you. After all, I've never acted, and it's a little nervous to be an extra against professional Hollywood actors!"

"No problem! Boss, you will definitely be satisfied!"

Harvey said with a grin.
