Chapter 676: A cameo role

Jiang Xia spent three years in the United States, with an actor and a director, and learned acting art from them.

In those three years, Jiang Xia also had some friends in the United States, all of whom were mixed in Hollywood, with ordinary staff and some actors, among whom there were naturally young people who played relatively well.

For example, Jessica, who was wearing wings with the help of the staff at this time, and Andre, who was reading the script with a pen in his hand next to the director.

Interestingly, the two don't know each other.

Jiang Xia's two old friends didn't see Jiang Xia, and the two were busy with their own things.

Michael came to the crew, and not many people knew Michael. Jiang Xia only met the Oscar winner yesterday, and he didn't know him originally. Not everyone will look at what everyone who goes to the Oscars looks like, awards such as Best Score and Best Screenplay, unless the award is received by non-humans, such as alien zombies and the like, as long as the person who receives the award is human, the attention will not be too high.

The usual staff didn't know Michael, but the producer knew Michael, and when he saw Michael arrive, he hurriedly walked over.

Michael shook hands with him before introducing the two parties: "Og, this is Mr. Jiang Xia, a film practitioner from China. Mr. Jiang, this is Ogy, the producer of the movie Fall. ”

"Falling? The name of the movie is funny. Hello, Mr. Ogg, I'm Jiangxia. Jiang Xia stretched out his hand to shake hands with Auge.

Auge is a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, and it is always difficult for Jiang Xia to tell the age of foreigners over forty.

Og shook Jiang Xia's hand and said, "Mr. Jiang, hello." ”

Michael said: "Yesterday I got a piece of music from Mr. Jiang, which is very suitable for the music of the Demon Legion on the march, it is perfect, I originally wanted to buy the copyright directly, but Mr. Jiang is also a practitioner of films, and he hopes to have the right of authorship in the movie, I can't call the shots in this matter, come to you to ask." ”

"Authorship? Mr. Jiang wants to sign the composer's signature?" asked Ogg.

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Mr. Jiang, Michael said that you are a practitioner of films, and I think you also understand that the soundtrack of a movie has a soundtrack, and the tunes used may be original or bought copyrights. The soundtrack for our film was given to Mr. Michael, and the final signature must have been Mr. Michael. Mr. Jiang wants to get the authorship right with a song, which is indeed a bit unreasonable, and I think no matter how good a piece of music is, it should not reach this point. Auger directly rejected Jiang Xia's request.

Then he continued: "However, Mr. Michael rarely uses other people's tunes, and I think since he recommends Mr. Jiang's tunes, then Mr. Jiang's tunes must be extremely good. We can buy the copyright of the song at a high price, and the authorship alone will not have Mr. Jiang's name, but in the simultaneous album, there will be Mr. Jiang's composer's name, and in the rolling of the subtitles, there will also be Mr. Jiang's name, and the position will be more conspicuous, what do you think?"

Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "Mr. Og, I need a composition authorship right, and I don't need a simple copyright signature. You know the difference between the two. And my requirements are not high. The music is my original one, Mr. Michael knows, and it was created on the spot, and according to what I know about Hollywood movies, if a piece can be used in a movie more than three times, you can claim authorship, and I think my song will definitely be used at least three times. ”

Og looked at Michael, and Michael said, "I can't say this, I can't say how many times each piece will be used until the movie is finished." ”

Hearing Michael's explanation, Og asked Michael, "Mr. Michael, how good is Mr. Jiang's tune?"

"I wasn't even able to create at my peak. Michael said.

Og was surprised: "So powerful?"

Then Augur fell into deep thought, and then asked, "Mr. Jiang, are you a film practitioner? What kind of work are you engaged in?

Michael smiled: "No, no, Ogy, now you can be gone, Mr. Jiang is an excellent director, actor, screenwriter, singer, is a very well-known star in China, and the first in the third line of China's celebrity list." ”

It turns out that Mr. Jiang is an artist. Auger was surprised.

No matter what he thinks, Jiang Xia doesn't have the aura of a big star. There is also a celebrity list in the United States, think about the first place in the third line, it is already very powerful. The first-line stars in the United States are all world-renowned, and a name in a movie can call the global box office. Even if it is a fourth-tier star, he can be familiar with it in the world, and how powerful the third-tier first is, Auge naturally knows.

In Augur's mind, even if China will be weaker, it will not be much weaker.

Michael also said: "Not only is it the first in the third line, Mr. Jiang has now made two films, the first film has a box office of more than 80 million US dollars, and the second film has a box office of 200 million US dollars. At a young age, Mr. Jiang is already the director of a $300 million box office movie. ”

"Mr. Jiang is so powerful. "That's even better, is Mr. Jiang interested in making a cameo role in Our Fall?"

"A cameo role?" Jiang Xia was stunned.

Og nodded, "Yes, a cameo role." Our movie, called The Fall, is about a war between angels and demons, caused by a traitor from the devil who reported the location of Alcatraz to the angels. The Angel Legion went on an expedition, and the Demon Legion was forced to face it, and the ending was that the High Angel Legion was defeated and the Demon Legion won miserably. And, the reason why the Demon Legion won was that the Demon Legion had a prophet, and this character had about five minutes of scenes in the movie. ”

"For such an important role, there should have been a selection before, right?" Jiang Xia asked.

Og nodded and said: "Yes, there was a selection, but the star was caught smoking marijuana two days ago, and there was too much negative news, so I could only terminate the contract with him, and I haven't found a suitable replacement for a while." I want Mr. Jiang to play this role, plus buy your music at a high price, so that the signature of the soundtrack can be replaced by the signature of a special cameo, what do you think?"

"Mr. Ogg, I have to say that I was struck by your proposal. Jiang Xia pondered for a moment and said, "Originally, I didn't appear in other people's movies, but now it seems that Mr. Augur asked me to sign the soundtrack, which is enough to choke." Then I'll take over the role, and as for the copyright fee for the song, I can give a symbolic dollar for it. ”

"Great, thank you Mr. Jiang, happy cooperation. Augur laughed.

"Nice to work with, Mr. Ogg. ”
