Don Pictures' new film project has quietly started.

It is estimated that the investment will be between 12 million and 15 million US dollars, and such a cost is destined to make it impossible for "Wedding Aoke" to attract big stars to join.

It is no longer possible to attract a precedent like Nicole Kidman in "My Grand Greek Wedding".

Three days later, Christopher Nolan brought back news that Danny Boyle was willing to work with Done Pictures.

You know, now that the script of "Wedding Proud" has not been completed, Nolan at most told Danny Boyle the synopsis of the story, and he happily agreed, which shows that this guy is having a hard time in Hollywood.

Danny has an additional request, though. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

Don has a peaceful mind. As long as the director is a little self-motivated, he usually wants to direct a film with some style of his own, rather than being reduced to a complete wage earner.

Nolan said: "We have decided on the heroine, and he hopes to have the choice of the male protagonist." ”

Don immediately understood what Danny Boyle meant.

Brits always like to huddle in Hollywood.

Just like Ridley Scott, Sam Mendes, Guy Ritchie, Matthew Vaughn, including Christopher Nolan, all like to use British actors.

There is a saying in Hollywood: "The work of the British is never too outrageous." ”

It can be seen that the conservative character and traditional adherence of the British are often the guarantee of the quality of the film.

"Ewan McGregor can't!"

Don rejected him once in Star Wars, and this time he still didn't want to use him, this person's acting style was not to his taste.

Nolan smiled: "The failure of the last movie, Danny has given up working with Ivan, and this time it is not him." ”

"Oh, who is it?"

"A newcomer, you probably haven't heard of it. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"Jude Law. He came to Hollywood three years ago to develop, and has already had many movie shooting experiences, although they are all small roles, but his acting skills are passable. ”

Don pondered for a long time, "Chris, you take on the role of a producer in this movie, and you are mainly responsible for communicating with these British people." ”

Nolan was overjoyed.

Donn said this, and it was plural, which means that he agreed to Danny Boyle's proposal.

"Yes, Donne, I'm sure Danny would be excited if he told him the news!"

……

The news that Towne Pictures' new film project has been launched, and it is auditioning for important roles including the second male lead and the second female lead has spread in Hollywood.

They didn't know that the director of the film was not Don En, and they all praised it, this director is really young, and he is really energetic!

The female companions are constantly changing, and the movies are endless!

For this reason, Donn also made a point to explain to George Lucas for a long time that he was only a producer, not a director.

In any case, Don is still the director of "Star Wars Episode 1: The Ghost Man Menace" and often goes to Lucasfilm to produce post-production films.

CAA also called to ask Don if he needed a package service, but he politely refused.

Endeavor, for its part, also made a suggestion and made a list of actors, hoping that Don would give him some opportunities.

The success of "My Grand Greek Wedding" made Nicole Kidman's career a qualitative leap, and Hollywood also saw Donn Pictures' expertise in wedding-themed films.

Even if the salary is not high, even if it is not the protagonist, it is an opportunity to appear in front of fans all over the world!

Don is good at dancing with long sleeves and dealing with them one by one.

In his opinion, "Wedding Aoke" is just pediatrics, and the acquisition of Marvel is the highlight at hand.

It's just that buying Marvel requires a lot of money, and Yahoo stock is a treasure in Donn's hands, and he will never cash out the stock unless it is absolutely necessary, before 2000.

"Wedding Guest" is his tool to circle money to buy Marvel.

It is said that in the face of the tender offer from Down Pictures, there was a violent quarrel within Marvel, and there was a serious difference of opinion between the management and the two shareholders.

Internal instability, debt crisis.

It is conceivable that Marvel Entertainment and Down Pictures will soon start a second negotiation.

However, when Donn marched to Marvel Entertainment at full speed, a lion came behind him.

Lionsgate, which has been gaining momentum recently, has sent an invitation to take a stake in Down Pictures and complete a cross-controlling stake with Lionsgate.

Since its founding in 1997, Lionsgate has acquired a number of small equipment manufacturers and distributors, and over the course of a year, has established a complete distribution pipeline in North America.

This is a feat that even Towne Pictures cannot accomplish.

Moreover, the finances of Down Pictures have been very unhealthy, and the recent news of the acquisition of Marvel Entertainment must be particularly tight, and Lionsgate has expressed its willingness to provide some funds.

When Don heard the news, he immediately burst into laughter.

Even Warner had to carefully adopt a cooperative approach with Down Pictures, and then encroach step by step to complete the goal of shareholding and holding.

Which green onion is Lionsgate?

This Canadian boss can't help but think too highly of himself, this is Hollywood, you are an outsider, do you really think that you can do whatever you want with a little money?

"Let him fuck off!"

Don politely refused.

In the face of such capitalists who do not know the height of the sky, Don's attitude will never be polite.

Lionsgate?

Done's target is the big six film companies, and he never pays attention to this kind of small role.

……

Danny Boyle is a humble and courteous English gentleman, and Donn likes to work with such a director, at least if there are problems that can be negotiated and solved, rather than making a fuss like James Cameron and Alfonso Cuarón.

Today, Don Enlai is participating in the casting of the male number two.

In addition to Donn and Danny Boyle, Christopher Nolan, Glenn Fyero and others participated in the casting.

From beginning to end, Don didn't say a word, just wrote and drew on the paper until he saw a handsome face.

"Hello everyone, my name is James Franco, I am 20 years old, I studied acting with Mr. Robert Carnegie, and I just participated in the filming of DreamWorks' comedy TV series "Freaks and Nerds" this year, and I was an important character throughout 18 episodes. I've had experience acting in comedy, so I think I'm up to the role of the number two in the film. ”

Compared with the nervous young people who couldn't even talk to each other, James Franco is confident and generous, and at first glance he is from an extraordinary background.

Pick up his resume and take a look, it is really extraordinary.

His parents are both top students at Stanford University, and he himself attended the University of California, Los Angeles, a prestigious public university in the United States. Because of his love for acting, he dropped out of school and entered Hollywood.

For such a young man who is looking for a dream, Don will always look up to him.

Not to mention...... Is it the famous Fu Lanlan?

"You say you're proficient in math?"

It was Donn's first time since the audition, drawing sideways glances from several other people.

Director Danny Boyle frowned even more inadvertently, the young man in front of him had a good temperament and looked sunny and healthy, but he was ...... It does not conform to the role positioning of the movie.

He is too prominent, and if he plays with Jude Law, he will seriously steal the brilliance of the male number one.

It's a disservice to the movie.

James Franco, of course, knew Donn, and his excitement was palpable, "Yes, after high school, I went to Lockheed Martin for an internship, oh...... It was the company that produced the F117 stealth fighter-bomber. ”

F117 is so famous, it's a favorite of Hollywood action movies.

Don smiled and waved his hand, "Do you have any hobbies?"

"Music, painting, writing, my idol is Mr. Faulkner, I love art!"

"So how did you make a movie?"

"Cinema is art, isn't it?"

Don laughed, "James, you're excellent, and I'm sure you'll be able to achieve something outstanding in acting." ”

"Thank you, Director Walker. James Franco was happy, "So, do I need to put on a show?"

Don shook his head with a straight face, "No need, James, this role isn't for you. ”

"Huh?" James Franco's face fell, "Director Walker, I can, give me a chance, let me perform for a while......"

"No, James, you misunderstood me. Don made a downward gesture, "Because of the positioning of the role, you are not suitable to play the second male lead in "Wedding Aoke", but I believe that we will have the opportunity to work together soon." ”

"Yes...... Yes. ”

James Franco looked disappointed, believing it was all Donn's perfunctory.

Don En looked serious, "James, listen to me, don't take on dramas in the next year, especially don't shoot TV series, that will consume your public image! Go find a regular acting class to sign up and hone your acting skills." Meantime...... It's best to find a coach and practice your skills. ”

James Franco is a true genius, and in high school, his new mathematical algorithms have been featured in professional magazines, and his drawings have won many awards, and he is a true artist.

Looking at all Hollywood's A-list actors, only two have ever published in top professional academic magazines, one is James Franco and the other is ...... It's Natalie Portman.

Franco's IQ is very high, and his emotional intelligence is even higher, and he instantly understood Donn's kindness, and his association also emerged, with a look of surprise, "Director Walker, you're going to make a superhero movie, right? It must be, it must be like this! I especially like Thor, and Daredevil!"

Tang En's face couldn't help but change slightly.

This guy is really not ordinarily smart, he just pointed out the "action", he can associate it through the recent news of the acquisition of Marvel, I hope he also has such an understanding in acting.

"The American people still love Spider-Man!" Don took a deep look at him, and immediately noticed that he suddenly realized and snickered at the look.

Don waved his hand amusedly, "Alright, James, you can leave, I look forward to our cooperation." ”

"Yes, it will!, Director Walker, I won't let you down!"

James Franco has a happy face, happier than he got the role of the second male lead!
