readx;?“ Cage, there's something I think I need to tell you about. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 I have heard him mention that the "Wind Whisperer" invested by MGM this time may not have a very good box office effect. Liu Anran said after thinking for a while.
He worked hard to find a way out for him, but he couldn't leave a name for this good deed, so he felt the need to give Cage some children's shoes on the box office fiasco "Wind Whisperer".
"Did Edward really say that?" Nicholas? Cage asked, frowning.
"Yes, he did. Your film was originally scheduled for November this year, but in order to avoid the impact of the terrorist attack, it was adjusted to next year's summer schedule. He felt that it was the wrong choice to do so. Liu Anran said.
Although there is the impact of terrorist attacks, he feels that films with such themes are more suitable for release. Just like the TV series "24 Hours of Counter-Terrorism" produced by our company, the ratings are very good now. His other point of view was the quality of the film, and he didn't find anything unique about it. ”
"John is a very good director, but in Edward's opinion, he didn't have his own style when he directed the film. In his words, even if "The Wind Whisperer" this time does not use him and uses an ordinary director, it can shoot such an effect. ”
"Is it true that Edward has such a low opinion of this film?" Nicholas? Cage asked, incredulous.
Liu Anran nodded: "That's true, we discussed this issue when I first invited him to our company, and the competition will be very fierce in June next year." Warner's "Scooby-Doo," Disney's "Star Baby," Fox's "Minority Report," our "Spy," and your "Windtalker" will all be released on this schedule. ”
"At that time, I was very worried, I was afraid that my "Spy Shadow" would not be able to compete with you. However, Edward said that he could ignore "The Wind Whisperer" and focus on the rest of the films. ”
Isn't this Liu Anran relying on the memories of later generations to fool Nicholas? Cage, these are indeed Edward's exact words.
Heard Liu Anran's words, Nicholas? Cage fell silent, the expression on his face was not as relaxed as it had just been, and he knew better what a film's box office meant to the lead actor.
"You don't have to worry too much, there are many factors to measure the success of a film, and the value of an actor cannot be measured by one or two films. So even though I know that this film may not be too good at the box office, I dare to give you $70 million to sign up for five films. Liu Anran spoke again.
"It's not like I want to show any superiority, I said, I'm your fan. I only hope that you will choose the script well for the films you will shoot in the future. ”
"Across Hollywood, I'm proud to say that no other studio places more emphasis on the quality of its scripts than we do. Now Edward is working on building a team of screenwriters to improve the ability of screenwriters. At Marvel, every hero movie I shoot has a creative committee to check it. ”
"When you told me if you could get involved in writing the script, my answer was yes, but I don't know if it would be adopted by the creative committee. Because even I don't have the right to interfere with them, they are the ones who know these heroes best. ”
He also didn't want to fool Cage, and he didn't know if he had participated in the writing of the script for "Ghost Rider" in the later generations. But now it's up to its own company to shoot it, so the direction of this plot has to be checked by the creative committee.
Nicholas? Cage nodded, not saying anything more on the matter. Now he also understands that the salary of $70 million for these five films is really not low.
Although we all know that the box office of a film cannot be used to measure the role of an actor, every investor will always consider his past box office results when choosing an actor.
"By the way, Cage, a lot of people in my company are fans of yours. Tonight, if you say anything, I'll treat you to a meal so that they can see you in person. Liu Anran said with a smile again.
If we continue to talk, the atmosphere will be too heavy, and there is no need for that. Whether Cage will become the Cage of future generations, he just has his mind done. The reason why he has a financial crisis is also related to his excessive profligacy, which can only be seen when the time comes.
"Thomas? Keller's French laundry? "Nicholas? Cage asked curiously.
"Yes, he's kind of a friend I've known since I came here. Will give me a discount, no need to book far in advance. Liu Anran said beautifully.
It can also be seen from the expression on Cage's face, Thomas? Keller's fame is really not small, and it seems that he does know a great friend.
"Looks like I'm in for a good night. Andy, I wonder if I have the honor to rest here for a few days? "Nicholas? Cage asked with a smile.
Through today's long talk, he also feels that Liu Anran is a relatively good person. Normal investors will try their best to lower the actor's salary, but Liu Anran is different, he talks about the salary first and then says something else, so that he feels respected.
"Of course I'm welcome, didn't I just say it, many people in my company are your fans, as long as you don't get annoyed." Liu Anran said with a smile.
That's when he remembered, Nicholas? Cage and his wife have just divorced, and now he is single, and it is estimated that he usually has no fun.
Sure enough, Liu Anran guessed correctly, when these girls came back, they saw Nicholas? Cage was also here, and he immediately surrounded him, the signature of the autograph, the group photo of the group photo, Liu Anran looked so embarrassed and depressed. It seems that he is also a relatively famous person, but these girls have never asked for an autograph from themselves like this.
"The casting of the film has begun? Isn't it Denzel? Washington is coming over too? Fang Yufu approached Liu Anran and asked.
"Yes, not just Denzel? Washington, and John? Cusack, Mark? Wahlberg. It's not easy for them to come over once, so let's open their eyes more. Liu Anran said with a smile.
"You, if you play so well, you're not afraid of causing disgust to others." Fang Yufu said helplessly.
"What are you afraid of, meeting in such a private residence makes it seem that I respect them." Liu Anran said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
