Chapter 951: It's not expensive at all
Yes, Chen Hao knew that he had to find a real 'Rhett'.
Originally, he was not under a lot of pressure, and his own role as Andy was a change in skin color, and Red's role was to use white actors, so that his skin color could bear some less pressure.
Now that he is becoming more and more famous, he has received more and more recognition, and on this side of Hollywood, he has begun to recognize his existence and no longer regard him as a distant visitor. At this time, he felt that the role of Rhett still needs to be played by a black man, Morgan Freeman's interpretation is almost perfect, in the version given by the system, it is this powerful black actor who plays Rhett, according to the age in the play, it is obvious that the current Morgan Freeman has no way to play it, and he can find a good enough person to play with himself in terms of fame and strength, Chen Hao's heart is currently only two.
Another reason why there are only these two is that he has his own ambitions, and in order to get a good result at the box office of this play, in addition to himself, he also needs an actor with great appeal to support the demand for the box office.
has a recognized self, and then there is a black actor, which in the American film system, can be the hardware condition-political-correct, and the content of the script itself is even more impeccable, from the so-called aristocracy to the peddlers and pawns, the coverage that this story can carry is unprecedentedly powerful.
"I would like to go to Denzel Washington or Will Smith, with the former being the first choice and the latter being the alternative. β
As soon as Chen Hao opened his mouth, it could be described as an earth-shattering shock.
Jing Tianlin said at the party before, now everyone is half an insider, pointing to this thing to make money, even if it is not a professional, at least you have to understand.
Tang Feng's family entered the film and television industry, Kuang Zhonghai himself likes these things, otherwise he would not have entered Lele Crazy Brush at first, Haihai now understands a little, Hu Sanye needless to say, living in the United States, there are some things that you don't need to know to know, just like in China, as long as you are not a closed person, and you know how famous Jackie Chan is for making movies.
Sun Honglei is completely stupid, this is too big, Will Smith is more famous in China, and the salary is also a first-line, Denzel Washington has won the Oscar, and he has always been active in the first-line over the years, and the salary is also 20 million clubs. Haozi, you keep saying that the investment of this film is at most 30 million, which is barely enough to meet the normal standards of Hollywood, but with this investment amount, you can never afford to hire any of these two people, and yourself? If you want to gain a foothold in the world, you can't play the Huaxia set anymore, you must clearly mark the price for yourself, even if you are the boss of your own company, you have to make your own actor's money first, and you have to enter the left pocket and the right pocket, otherwise it will not break the rules of Hollywood.
"Are you sure you're not kidding? There's no more suitable candidate?" Tang Feng frowned, he wasn't for investment, not for uninvited, but because he felt that there were some things we had to do in a reasonable way, although we had the strength to break the rules.
Chen Hao nodded: "I will contact them separately, hoping that they can lower their salaries to act, I set my salary for this play at three million, and I hope to invite one of them no more than five million." β
Haihai touched Chen Hao's forehead in front of him, everyone understands what this means, you don't have a fever and are sick, why did you start talking nonsense.
Hu Sanye pondered, and Kuang Zhonghai looked at Chen Hao thoughtfully.
Chen Hao spread his hands: "Okay, you are all your own family, I won't talk about the two families, this film, in my mind, is to nominate at least the Oscar for Best Picture, Oscar for Best Actor, Oscar for Best Screenplay, and Best Original Screenplay." (There is no adaptation directly, the original script is directly created)
Ooh!!
This shocked the audience even more than just now, how many producers and directors in the world are qualified to release such words?
Kuang Zhonghai slapped his head: "Haozi, if the script comes out, let's take a look, right? You are a little too scary, my little heart is beating wildly." β
The money is not scary, they are willing to follow Chen Hao to smash the money, as long as he wants to, the key is that he is now saying that this thing is too scary, at least nominating? The goal is to nominate these awards are scary enough, he will nominate at least these few items, which means that in his heart, nomination is inevitable, and the competition is not to nominate, but to win awards.
From the fact that Chen Hao was able to release these words, as he himself said, he regarded him as his own family when he was present, and Kuang Zhonghai had to read the script.
Chen Hao didn't hide it, he went directly into the house to get the script, since he wanted to play with Hu Gudong, he must be given enough trust, the old man is over seventy years old, he has never seen anything, he knows what he needs to pay to enter the country, in the future, this Chen Hao is in the United States, he will have to support it, not only the movie ticket, but also the future of the fallen leaves or the children and grandchildren want to invest in China, the energy of this circle is worth his current efforts to support Chen Hao.
"My old man doesn't understand, you can do it if you think it's okay, what you need me to do, I'll arrange it, I don't understand the movie. "Of course the old man is happy to be trusted, but as he himself said, if I don't understand, then I will avoid suspicion, and I may not be willing to read the movie script.
Haihai was originally an attitude, but he couldn't help but be too curious, took the script, and pretended to read it.
The Shawshank Redemption.
Sun Honglei is undoubtedly the fastest person among these people to see the ambition of this film, and he also saw the quality of this script, no wonder Chen Hao wants to find a black actor, which is not only a matter of acting skills and fame, really as he said, the same three levels and famous actors, in this film, black, white and other actors of different colors, must be the former has the greatest advantage, this is a thing that the whole Hollywood needs, not necessarily have, but if you have, there will definitely be a corresponding bonus.
As soon as Kuang Zhonghai and Tang Feng saw that it was still a prison scene, they subconsciously thought that this was a movie version of "Prison Break", and they were very curious about where Chen Hao's confidence came from.
looked at it, and gradually looked into it, Haihai put down the script early, she couldn't understand it, she could understand the story, what was so good about making this story into a movie, she didn't understand it, and it was almost the same to see the finished film at her level.
Chen Hao held a wine glass, and Hu Gudong, Haihai, the three of them drank first, Hu Gudong was more interested in how sure Chen Hao was that the two most well-known black actors would lower their salaries to act in this play, this is the best way for him to consider this investment in his heart, if Chen Hao decides to confidently invite one of the two, then he doesn't worry that this film will fail, he doesn't need to read the script, let alone know what the story is, so that Denzel Washington and Will Smith can reduce their salaries to shoot and make a film with a male number two, not a big-budget commercial film, then he definitely has the strength to go to the Oscars to get a few nominationsγ
Sun Honglei was the first to close the script, closed his eyes, and it took five or six minutes to open his eyes, he didn't say what he wanted to say the most, knowing that saying it would only embarrass each other. changed a sentence that he thought still had some hope: "Haozi, is it possible for this movie to be adapted into a Chinese version in the future, or to make a TV series with richer content?"
Chen Hao understood what he meant: "Brother Honglei, this is my original script." β
Sun Honglei smiled, handed the script back, served it on the table, and poured a glass of wine first: "Toast this script." "Let's have a drink first, if he really wants to adapt or shoot a TV series in Huaxia in the future, at that time, he will not have any pressure to ask for a major role.
Freely.
Kuang Zhonghai and Tang Feng also closed the script one after another, the most central thing is these two words, and then for the self-redemption of these two words, the redemption of freedom.
In the United States, freedom and equality are established, and freedom is above equality, and it can be said that if it does not meet a completely American show in terms of concept, this movie has the most correct direction. (When I met Forrest Gump that year, it was really an unfair fate, and if I changed to any opponent, I wouldn't lose so badly)
Sun Honglei raised his glass again and smiled bitterly: "I am suddenly a little excited now, Haozi, you have pitted me." β
Everyone else didn't know what was going on, Chen Hao understood, and he smiled: "Brother Honglei, there's nothing to compare to." β
Sun Honglei motioned for everyone to drink, and took another big sip: "The "Prison Break" we are filming now has good results in this genre, but when I see "The Shawshank Redemption", I don't have the courage to say that they are a genre, completely beyond the shackles of the genre, the word great, I don't need to shoot it, I will put a crown on this script." β
Kuang Zhonghai has the closest relationship with Chen Hao, and the relationship between the two in private is also the best, and they have done a lot of things together before, and they speak more casually: "Don't be 30 million, you can rest assured to shoot boldly, who to invite, how much it will cost, you just take a number out, don't worry about the box office, as long as we can nominate for the Oscar, just the box office in Huaxia will not let the investment in this drama be lost." β
Tang Feng said: "If you want to do it, let's do it bigger, make a classic, Haozi, you can just follow your previous style, keep improving, the capital is not a problem, I can invest more, but the proportion of the share remains the same, give our company a chance to be subtitled." β
Haihai pouted on the side: "Okay, then you can take 20 million first, this film comes out, your film and television company, even if it is completely established, more than 100 million Huaxia coins, it is not expensive at all." β
