"Which of these three directors do you think is more suitable to direct our film?" asked Chris as he asked, the directors were actually paid about the same, and he would rather spend his salary on hiring a director than hiring an actor at a high price.

New actors and unknown actors are more malleable, and the audience has no fixed image perception of them, so they will not have a sense of disobedience.

A big-budget film naturally needs to be paired with full stars, but sometimes a good actor is not the most expensive actor in the world, but the most suitable actor.

The protagonist in "The Lord of the Rings" is the hobbit Frodo, but characters such as Aragon and Gandalf are very eye-catching, and if they are played well, they can even steal the attention of the protagonist.

Zhang Chu looked at the quotation under the list and said in a low voice: "I personally prefer Sir Ridley Scott, his style is enough to control this movie, and the salary of $12 million is also reasonable, and there is no sky-high bidding." ”

The salary of a well-known commercial film director is generally around 5 million, and if it is a literary film, the big director will not take too much salary to increase the cost.

Ridley Scott's directing ability and status are very high, even the fiasco of "Heavenly Dynasty" finally managed to make a small comeback in the disc market, "Alien", "Blade Runner", "Crazy Flower of the End", "Black Hawk Down" and "The Martian", which went to plant potatoes a few years ago, are all famous.

Zhang Chu is very optimistic about the strength of this director, even if it is a bad movie, it has advantages!

Many people's impression of him stays on the father of aliens, and his sense of presence is not very strong, and he is one of the few directors whose works are more famous than his own fame.

As long as you are a movie lover, you should have seen or heard of his films, but only a few people can say who the director is.

The famous Ridley Scott only asked for $12 million, but Zack Schneider actually dared to offer $10 million, probably because Warner Bros. had created an illusion for the agency.

One of Zack Snyder's most critically acclaimed films, "Spartan 300," has many critics saying that it is a reference to "Gladiator," which happens to be the work of Ridley Scott.

"Gladiator" swept the awards season and box office charts, with 11 Oscar nominations, and finally won the best actor and best picture, with a global box office of 460 million US dollars, fame and fortune!

Now that Ghost Li has met Li Kui, if it weren't for someone else in Universal Pictures who thinks that Zack Snyder is in his prime, I'm afraid Chris doesn't want to bargain, and the $10 million will have to be cut to at least 7 million.

"Actually, I'm also most optimistic about Ridley, he is very strong in epic films, especially good at genre films, which is why Oscar doesn't want to see him. ”

Chris accidentally told the truth, and Ridley Scott has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Director many times, but has never stopped at the nomination stage.

Oscar doesn't like it, but fans love him to the point of madness, if there is such a director to shoot "The Lord of the Rings", presumably fans will be a lot more relieved.

If even Ridley can't adapt this one, then the rest of Hollywood will hardly be found!

Originally, Zhang Chu never thought that he would let the father of aliens come to film "The Lord of the Rings", which was too different from his thoughts, and without knowing the director, it is estimated that the first reaction would be to make "The Lord of the Rings" terrifying and bloody, in fact, this is a great misunderstanding.

The three directors have a brokerage company behind them, and at this time, not only the director needs to work hard to let Universal Pictures see it, but the agency also has to work hard.

Zhang Chu took advantage of this waiting effort to enter the savior system, and he planned to learn more about Ridley Scott to see if it was suitable!

There are more points in the system, and it is natural to spend it without mercy, and the off-site help function directly began to search for relevant information about Lei Lao with Google, but this time I found that it was really fate!

Ridley Scott really has a lot of good works, in Zhang Chu's original time and space, he turned out to be the director of "Hannibal", the sequel to "The Silence of the Lambs".

It's just that this life is not related at all, and of course Lei Lao can't make a sequel.

On top of that, Ridley Scott is really on the same page with Aragon, having worked with all three of them.

For example, Ray Lao did not start making movies until he was forty years old, and the actor Robert Stephens in his first work "The Duelist" once played Aragon in the BBC radio drama.

And John Hurt, who had a wonderful performance in his famous work "Alien", once starred in the stage play Aragorn.

And the hottest Aragorn is definitely the actor Viggo Mortansen in the "Lord of the Rings" movie trilogy, this actor once starred in "With Me Ambition", needless to say, it is also the work of director Ridley Scott.

It's really with Aragorn, and if it's not love, what else is?

After Zhang Chu saw these news on Wikipedia, the whole person laughed, could it be that God wanted to let the old man Lei, who is over 80 years old, make this movie?

There are many active old directors in Hollywood, such as the old East Clint Eastwood is 7 years older than Old Man Ray, and films such as "Red Dead Redemption" are famous in film history, and now they are close to 90 years old, and the director and acting are still correct.

Your uncle is your uncle after all, and he is not affected by his age at all!

Of course, the achievements of the past are only the past after all, and people cannot always rest on the credit book of the past.

If Ridley Scott's shooting plan and design can't achieve the desired effect, then Zhang Chu still can't hand over "The Lord of the Rings" to him.

What this series of movies needs is not good, but excellent!

"Hey, do you need a drink?" Chris pulled out a bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet, and liked to drink it when he was fine.

At this time, Zhang Chu was in the savior system, and on the surface, he seemed to be leaning on the sofa and closing his eyes to recuperate, and he didn't hear Chris's words at all.

And Chris thought that Zhang Chu fell asleep directly after the fatigue of the journey, so he didn't speak again, intending to let the young man rest for a while.

From winning the adaptation rights of the "Lord of the Rings" series to now, Universal Pictures has been inspecting for almost three months, which is actually nothing for film preparation, and many may take several years or even more than ten years from selling the adaptation rights to actually being made into a movie!

Previously, "The Da Vinci Code" and "Life of Pi" were the most efficient, and not every author was so lucky, and they could be adapted immediately, but more as IP resources.
