Chapter 374: Status

David Brennard played the vampire Angel in the TV series Buffy the Ghost Hunter and Angel by Night. "Angel of the Night" is a spin-off of "Buffy the Ghost Hunter". In these two related TV series, Beronardz plays a vampire with a dual personality, sometimes he is the kind "Angel" with a human soul who wants to save lives as much as possible, and sometimes he is the evil demon "Angelus" who has lost his soul.

The effect of the sight mirror is also good, but unfortunately Chen Tiandu is still too picky.

It wasn't until Johnny Depp, an actor who was supposed to rise on this page, who was changed by Chen Tiandu's future trajectory and failed to come out, came into sight that he really determined the role.

Undoubtedly, if you are looking for a few actors in Hollywood who are best suited to play vampires, John You Depp will definitely be on the list. It's a pity that his salary is not low, and only a big production like "Van Helsing" can kill all these big names.

Depp, who did not appear in "Pirates of the Caribbean" at this time, did not have such a big temper, received an invitation and readily agreed.

Finally, Peck asked a key question, "Warner came over and asked to be part of the Van Helsing project. Twentieth Century Fox, Paramount, Disney all have inquiries......"

The script outline is placed in the script library, and no one in Hollywood today can ignore Chen Tiandu's script, even if this guy is Chinese, and he touched the cheese of many people in time. This script only received an A rating in Warner's script review committee, and Disney only had a B+ rating, but if you add the cast of actors and actresses and directors. That's the unquestionable A+ grade.

$140 million investment. If you include the cost of publicity. Probably higher. It's risky, but they can't resist the temptation.

Calculate the past achievements, "The Sixth Sense" is 300 million in North America and 600 million in the world, the "Infernal Affairs" two-part series has exceeded 200 million in North America and nearly 500 million in the world, the "Hacker" trilogy has a global box office of more than 2.5 billion, and "Speed" is also a super blockbuster.

Nowadays, in the whole world, there can be such a superior box office list of cutting-edge directors, Peter Jackson is one. The only thing left to count is Chen Tiandu. The American world is xenophobic, and 90% of theaters are not open to non-American films. Chinese kung fu, even at the peak of Bruce Lee, was not recognized by mainstream society. But none of this matters, it doesn't matter if he rejects his bloodline or skin color, in front of the dollar, every qiē will become negotiable.

Therefore, after reviewing Chen Tiandu's new script, on the one hand, they rejected the new Hollywood companies and silently suppressed them in some aspects. On the other side, he threw an olive branch dryly.

This is the real Hollywood.

Chen Tiandu didn't think much about this issue, and said: "Make several super large production zuò at the same time." We're also under a lot of pressure. And it is too risky to take into account the development of Marvel. So let's talk about this project, you know my bottom line. ”

Everyone nodded to show that they understood, copyright.

The most important thing is that the distribution company can't withhold the lifeblood of funds, so Chen Tian doesn't have a movie that cooperates with giants, and he will pay a lot of money by himself, find a third-party accounting agency as a fulcrum, and find a lawyer team to monitor the whole process. The money does not pass through oneself and does not pass through the other party, so that it will not be controlled by the other party and firmly controlled by the side.

The whole meeting was discussed for a full day, and everyone was so excited that even after the end of the day, they didn't know anything. In the end, it was Lin Zhiling who reminded Chen Tiandu that the plane to New York was about to take off, so they stopped there.

He looked at his watch, stood up and said, "Okay, let's do it according to the current arrangement." If there is any situation, contact me again. ”

……

"The Big Bang Theory" was unpopular with them before it aired, and it was a cast with no familiar faces, despite the massive publicity of the show on MM TV. Even Jim Parsons, Rachel McAdams and others themselves are confused, they were all inexplicably selected by Chen Tiandu. also filmed such a TV series that carries the heavy responsibility of the rise of TV stations, which is really Alexander.

Such a short sitcom, as long as you find the feeling, you can shoot many episodes in a few days.

The Big Bang Theory is a sitcom with a net length of 43 minutes per episode. Unlike drama-based American dramas, each episode of a sitcom is a complete story, unlike drama-based American dramas, which place as much emphasis on narrative techniques and suspense arrangements.

As a sitcom, as long as it is funny, there is no need to dwell on narrative techniques.

We're telling jokes, not stories.

After the completion of the post-production process, Chen Tiandu accompanied several executives of the TV station's production department to watch several episodes in the screening hall in a row, and he still couldn't hold back his laughter in the middle.

"Alright, that's it."

Chen Tiandu stood up, and the projectionist also stopped the screening at the right time and turned on the lights in the screening room.

"Guys, let's give the crew a round of applause." His drive made the screening room burst into applause. Chuck Knoll and Larry both had smiles on their faces. As an employee, after months of hard work, what could be more precious than the recognition and appreciation of your boss?

"Thank you, boss, the main thing is that your script is well written, what we do is nothing." Larry complimented.

Chen Tiandu patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's it, I bought a new home in New York, and I haven't held a moving party yet." This weekend, I will hold a pie duì for everyone at home, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the release of the series, and I hope everyone will come over by then. Chuck, Larry, remember to bring a couple of our little actors with you. ”

Everyone nodded with a smile, they all knew that Chen Tiandu spent nearly half a billion dollars at the beginning of the year to buy the most prestigious rooftop sky garden villa in New York, and he bought the top three sets.

The sky-high transaction fees also set a new high for New York real estate transactions this year.

The newspapers are very powerful, what aprons, sky gardens, sky swimming pools, sky amusement parks, and even sports fields and so on. You can see the whole of New York and the Hudson River at a glance......

But many people don't know what it's like there, and now they are invited by their boss, how can they say that it is an honor.

Chen Tiandu held a moving pie. Naturally, it is not only these people who are invited.

He was Chinese. From Los Angeles to New York. In fact, it did not fit into this circle. Although the status of money can help him integrate here, it is very small, and New York has no shortage of rich people. If you want to really break into the circle, you can't go wrong with a lot of communication.

For these things, he sent invitations to all those who could be invited. Then he handed over the dispatch to Lin Zhiling to handle it, which could be regarded as a test for her.

Soon, Christmas Chan is going to host a pie in his new mansion. It spread in New York circles. You can imagine how many well-known producers and directors will come to participate. Many celebrities have tried every possible way to inquire with their agents, hoping to get an invitation letter.

Simon Cowell, who came from England, was also invited, and he was surprised at first by the five invitations in his hand, but recently attended a gathering of several friends in the music industry, and overheard them talking about Christmas Chan's pie, and realized that the extra invitations in his hand were so useful.

He pretended to be forced to give a few photos to a few young singers of Zhenghuande to talk to, and was immediately impressed by the other party, constantly guessing what his relationship was with Christmas Chen. The eye-catching eyes made Simon enjoy it very much.

He has been busy with the production of "American Idol" for MM TV, and now he has eyebrows. After the final submission of Chen Tiandu's decision, the national publicity draft tour will be officially launched. Although the majority of this show is Chen Tiandu's. But the success in the UK also made him confident in the American version, and he had reason to believe that once the show was broadcast, he would immediately become a celebrity in the New York entertainment industry.

Success was just around the corner, and he couldn't wait.

On the other hand, Natalie Portman was not in such a good mood, and she was a little overjoyed when she received the script from Chen Tiandu, especially for this role. It's also very appropriate for her age. Sometimes she even suspects that this is tailor-made for her by Chen Tiandu. The discovery made her suspicious. And the agent's words woke her up even more.

"Nat, where have you and Christmas Chan come to me, I haven't even gotten any news." Agent Fei Li looked at her with ambiguous eyes.

Natalie was taken aback and pretended to be puzzled: "What are you talking about, what step, am I asking you about the contract?" ”

"This is indeed very strange, the matrix has kept the salary very low, and is only willing to give 500,000. It is said that this is a small system, and the investment will not exceed 10 million. If it weren't for the director's identity, if it weren't for your insistence on playing this role, I would have suspected that Christmas Chan would be the first miser in Hollywood. "You must know that after acting in "Star Wars", Natalie is like an excellent representative of the new generation of actresses. The salary is not tens of millions, at least at the level of seven or eight million.

When Natalie heard that there was only 500,000 yuan in salary and the investment would not exceed 10 million, she was also a little dazed. She didn't expect it to be so low.

What can be made with tens of millions of dollars, this is because Christmas Chen didn't get paid for making his own movies, otherwise even his salary would not be enough to pay.

Fei Li saw that her expression was different, pretending to be too similar, and she was a little suspicious: "Aren't you guys procrastinating, although I don't have a say in this, but now the whole world knows that Christmas Chen's real girlfriend is Kate Beckinsale, and they just returned from their honeymoon trip in advance." I'll admit that Christmas Chan is in high demand right now, and if you can have such a boyfriend, it will be very good for any woman's career in Hollywood. Maybe you can be higher than Kate Beckinsale right now, and you'd better be prepared......"

Natalie understood, and shook her arm in shame, "What are you talking about, we don't have a relationship at all." ”

Fei Li was a little surprised, "You mean really? ”

Natalie nodded affirmatively, a little expectant and a little resentful.

Fei Li froze and continued to ask, "Then has he asked you out recently, or has he been impressed by you?" Natalie is not calm now, there is definitely no dating, but Chen Tiandu is indeed a little impressed by her. She is not a fool, otherwise she would not have impressed the French man in her teenage years and won the first heroine. Later, he used his Jewish identity and precocious personality to hook up with Lucas, who was also Jewish, and became the world-famous Star Wars queen.

But for Chen Tiandu, what did she work hard?

There was nothing, all of them were found by Chen Tiandu, and she couldn't even get the role before she auditioned.

Hollywood is realistic, and no producer will create a movie for a certain actress without asking for anything. If it does, then there is no doubt that he has taken a fancy to you. Just order it, he wants to you.

To be honest, she is not disgusted with this legendary young man, and she still has a little longing. But a girl of this age will always have a little arrogance in her heart, and the conflict between reality and ideals will always make her a little hit.

Natalie shook her head irritably, not wanting to speak.

Fei Li was also a little disappointed, she didn't understand what Christmas Chen meant, and she thought she was going to follow Feihuang Tengda. She knew her employer and didn't want things to get worse, so she decided to give a tactful reminder and said, "Nat, if possible, I hope you can get along with Christmas Chan." His reputation in the circle is very good, and he has all the unique advantages of the Oriental, maybe he just appreciates you. It just so happened that he happened to have a party in New York this weekend, and I will help you get an invitation, so you can take advantage of the opportunity. ”

Natalie was shocked, but lowered her head and said nothing.

The Hollywood circle is glamorous on the surface, but in fact, the dark side of the deviation is enough to make people vomit. She is not a newcomer anymore, a few days ago I heard that a girl who is about the same age as her is very beautiful, but she slept with more than a dozen producers, and even took the initiative to participate in the producer's carnival party duì, so she got a small supporting role. But she was so unlucky that she accidentally conceived a child, and the most unfortunate thing was that she didn't know who the child's father was. After going to the hospital, I was injured and fell ill, and I was hospitalized for a long time before I recovered. But her pregnancy scared the producers, and as a result, the role she finally got was replaced, which was unlucky.

Compared to that girl, she was undoubtedly lucky. Now thinking about what she has done, she actually dares to scold Chen Tiandu on the phone, if Chen Tiandu is a cautious eye, this alone is enough to sentence her to death. After thinking about this, I felt that it was not so difficult to accept.

Nodding slightly, the agent Fei Li breathed a sigh of relief and was satisfied: the little girl will always grow up one day. (To be continued......) I1292
