334 Wayward Cage
readx;?(Thanks to my friend Star Soul for your encouragement)
The girls all went out to play around, Liu Anran was cleaned, and finally met the legendary "King of Bad Movies", Nicholas? Cage. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Anran felt that he was sometimes very willful, but he felt that he was the same as Nicholas in front of him? Cage is much less willful than others.
Nicholas? Cage is still a guarantee at the box office, but in the next few years, he can make a lot of money, and at the same time squander a lot of money, and even go bankrupt, so that he will take any film and become the "king of bad movies".
But in Liu Anran's view, he, the "king of bad movies", is somewhat unworthy of his name. Cage's acting skills are still there, only the script is bad. The reason why I took all the films was because I was forced to go bankrupt.
"Mr. Cage, here are a few scripts, you can take a look at them first." Liu Anran pushed the script that came out of the rush in the past few days to Nicholas? Cage's in front of him.
Cage was a little surprised, this time the conversation seemed to be a little different from what he expected. The normal situation should be to only have a script, and then talk about the role, and I feel that I can talk about the salary and shooting plan. In this way, there is a selection of films, which makes him a little unaccustomed.
The three screenplays are "Stickman", "Lord of War", and "National Treasure". The three scripts, each with their own characteristics, even if "National Treasure" and "Lord of War" only have a synopsis, it makes him a little.
"Andy, I really don't know what to choose, it's too cruel." After a rough look, Nicholas? Cage put down the script and said with a smile.
Liu Anran smiled, that's right, this is what you are going to play in the future, how can you dislike it, but this matter can't be told to you.
"Mr. Cage, I'm going to sign you for $70 million for five plays. These are the first three, and the last two are random, what do you think? Liu Anran thought for a moment and said.
"Andy, this salary is a bit low." Nicholas? Cage said with a frown.
Although I like the script very much, I am now a first-line movie star in Hollywood, and my salary starts at 20 million US dollars. Now the salary for five films is only 70 million US dollars, which is a bit small.
"Mr. Cage, things can't be considered that way. What do you think of these three scripts? Liu Anran asked with a smile.
Nicholas? Cage nodded and said: "The idea of the script is very good, although the last two do not have a detailed plot, but as long as the screenwriter is careful and makes the plot full, it will be a very good film." ”
Liu Anran sighed in his heart, now Nicholas? Cage still has the right to choose scripts, but what about him in the future? But it's good to have a drama and not be in arrears if you don't have to pay for it.
Liu Anran's heart was very entangled, he didn't know if he should help Nicholas? Cage
Or is that a phrase that in his heart does not think Nicholas? Cage's acting skills are not good, even in those bad movies, he treats them as big productions.
Doesn't he know how to judge the quality of a script? Of course not. It's just that he has lost the right to choose because of his financial situation.
"Andy, if you add a superhero film to these five film contracts, I can accept the price." Seeing that Liu Anran kept his head down and was silent after seeing that he finished speaking, Nicholas? Cage added.
Liu Anran laughed in his heart, it seems that the rumors from the outside world are true, Nicholas? Cage does have a soft spot for heroic films and really wants to show his face on them. He was wondering if he would also lower his salary when he was filming "Ghost Rider" in later generations. Cage is so willful, it may not be impossible.
"Cage, I still don't call you sir. To be honest, I'm a fan of yours, and I've seen a lot of your films. This is not a problem, I guess your willingness to agree to my invitation so happily has something to do with Marvel belonging to me. Liu Anran said with a smile.
"Yes, I had a dream of being a hero when I was a child." Nicholas? Cage said with a smile and nodded.
"Cage, I've always wondered, have big-name movie stars like you made any investments in your daily lives? I don't mean anything else, it's just that I'm personally curious. Liu Anran asked.
"Personally, I prefer to invest in real estate, and I don't pay much attention to the rest." Nicholas? Cage said after thinking for a moment.
He always felt that Liu Anran had some deep meaning in asking this sentence, but he couldn't understand what the problem was. However, there is nothing to hide about this matter, and Liu Anran can get it from other channels with a little attention.
The privacy of celebrities is very little, let alone people like themselves who have been noticed by the media all the time. After buying a property, it was basically in the newspaper the next day.
"Real estate, I think it's good to make a normal investment in this area. In fact, no matter what investment has a certain risk, I will never put all my eggs in the same basket, and it is better to invest in a variety of combinations. Just like me, it's more about investing in some industry, like this little vineyard now. Liu Anran said after thinking for a while.
When the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, the value of Cage's children's shoes depreciated sharply, and with the advent of the financial crisis, his properties were auctioned by the bank.
"I don't have that much energy to take care of, so I think it's easier to invest in real estate." Nicholas? Cage said with a smile.
Liu Anran nodded: "Our plan for "Stickman" is to start filming in the second half of next year, "National Treasure" plans to start filming in the second half of 2003, and "Lord of War" plans to start filming in the second half of 2004. In other words, starting next year, these three films will be shot and released at a rate of one per year. ”
"The remaining two films have to be based on the actual situation, and the time of the script cannot be determined for the time being. So when we sign the contract, we will pay you $40 million first, and the remaining $30 million will be paid to you after the filming of the remaining two films is completed. What do you think? ”
"Yes, but there must be a superhero movie. If I could, it would be nice if I could be involved in writing the screenplay. "Nicholas? Cage said without hesitation.
Now he is not short of money, it doesn't matter when the remaining 30 million US dollars will be paid, a company like Dream Media will not be able to deduct his salary. As long as you can let yourself star in a hero movie and fulfill your hero dream, everything is easy to talk about.
Liu Anran smiled bitterly in his heart, the reason why he chose to pay the 30 million super late was because he wanted to leave some money for Cage, and he was heartbroken. (To be continued.) )
