Chapter 634
"Great cooperation, Gilbert." In the office of Paramount Office Building, Paramount CEO Brian Burke shook hands with Shen Lian. "It's a pleasure to work with." On the desk, the documents on the table clearly explain everything, Shen Lian and Paramount officially reached an agreement to participate in "Mission Impossible 5" with a salary of 20 million US dollars plus 4% of the global box office, and promised to join "Mission Impossible 6" and "Mission Impossible 7". signed three film contracts in Hollywood in a row. "You really took advantage of it this time, 20 million US dollars for more than 96 million, I really admire your courage." Brian Burke said enviously. If Paramount was willing to try his best to raise funds and make up for the funding gap, then the money would be Paramount's own, but unfortunately Paramount was not full confidence in the box office results of "Mission Impossible 4", and it also gave Shen Lianke the opportunity to make a lot of money.
But as long as Shen Lian continues to cooperate with Paramount, there will be opportunities to make money in the future. After all, the reputation of "Mission Impossible 4" is too good.
It is precisely because it is not easy to offend Shen Lian at all now, after Paramount calculated the money clearly this time, he immediately sent Shen Lian's share to Shen Lian without any delay or deduction. "Continue to cooperate, I believe we still have a lot of room for profit development in the future, and I look forward to a greater breakthrough in "Mission Impossible 5".
I continued to talk a lot, looking forward to the good prospects of cooperation in the future, and chatting with the Americans is to keep talking crazy, otherwise he really has no confidence in you.
Halfway through the blow, Shen Lian left in a hurry, and he received a call from Zhang Ting and left early.
A script. Invite him to play a role.
As a popular actor, Shen Lian would receive some role invitations from time to time, but almost all of them were rejected by him, both domestic and overseas. However, without exception, he refused. It's not that there is no time, many works are booked in advance, but there are few works that satisfy him, and there is no one that really makes him feel worthwhile to shoot.
However, this time is different! Otherwise, Zhang Ting would not have notified him at the first time. I haven't read the script yet, but the team lineup has already asked Zhang Ting to make this decision.
Dennis Villever is a Canadian film director and screenwriter. His film "Scorched Earth City" was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2011 Academy Awards, and there are countless nominations at major film festivals.
Also fighting for a role in the movie include Leonardo DiCaprio, the one affectionately known to the Chinese as Little Plum, Batman Christian Bale, Wolverine Hugh Jackman and Mark Wahlberg.
"I see." When he heard this, Shen Lian was not in a hurry to read the script in his hand. To be able to attract the attention of these big names, this script must have its own merits. It would be a shame if a good bottle of wine was only used to quench your thirst.
"Don't you give a reply as soon as possible?" Zhang Ting asked a little anxiously. When she first received the script, she even had a dreamy feeling. Although Shen Lian was also nominated for an Oscar in 2009, compared to these people. Shen Lian had few advantages. Not to mention. The other party clearly pointed out. Shen Lian's role will not be less than that of the male lead! No wonder he was itching.
"You're going to give me a night, aren't you?" Shen Lian looked at Zhang Ting and said with a smile. knew that Zhang Ting was thinking about herself, so she didn't have any meaning to blame.
"It's me who is too anxious." Zhang Ting came to her senses and said with a slightly embarrassed smile. Shen Lian's character, no matter how intentional he is, must have read the script before making a decision.
"I'm itching too." Shen Lian patted the script in his hand and said, "But." The more anxious you are, the more patient you must be. ”
"Hmm." Zhang Ting nodded, took a deep breath, and said no more.
"Prisoner"!
This is the name of the script, the story tells the story of a 6-year-old girl and her companions in a small town who are kidnapped, and the person in charge of investigating the case is a serious and responsible detective, and all the cases are solved through his hands. The girl's father is a carpenter, a believer in the Bible, a good deer hunter, and an impulsive personality, he has no hope for the police, and decides to go it alone despite the law, and a series of coincidences finally solve the case.
Attractive indeed! No wonder so many big names come to fight for the role.
After a cursory flip, Shen Lian began to study it carefully.
Although it is known as a double male protagonist, it is relatively obvious that Leonardo, Bale, Hugh Jackman and others are fighting for the role of the carpenter has a wider space to play. It's also more explosive.
But for Shen Lian, who has always hoped to improve his acting skills, this movie will definitely help a lot. The script, the cast, the characters, all belong to the perfect fit. The key is that this kind of movie does not have the idea of using Shen Lian's identity and popularity to pull the box office, it is a work that goes in the direction of winning awards.
Treat Shen Lian as an actor, not as the key to unlocking China's box office market.
For Shen Lian, whose thirst for awards exceeds his expectations for money at the box office, this script is simply fantastic.
I read it again, and more than two hours had passed. Feeling the squirming of his stomach, Shen Lian got up and prepared to enjoy dinner.
The mobile phone rang, Guo Biting.
"Have you eaten dinner?" Guo Biting asked. Call over and tell Shen Lian to pay attention to his diet, and he can't eat and drink in the middle of the night.
"I just finished reading a script and was about to go out for a bite to eat." Shen Lian smiled, feeling that Guo Biting treated herself as a child.
"I received a role invitation from the crew today, hard work, Shen Lian." Guo Biting thanked. "Lanling King", the female number one in a large-scale production with an investment of more than 100 million, can be said to have defeated many strong opponents. It must be a big breakthrough for her acting career.
"Well, you have to exercise well, and don't have any accidents in the crew." In the script of "The King of Lanling", some scenes are quite intense, especially the scenes of horseback riding, although some scenes where the real horse crashes can be used as a stand-in, but at least the appearance still has to be put on display, Shen Lian must remind Guo Biting.
"I know, I'll go to the gym. I made an appointment with Yixin. Shen Lian's big problem is that he likes to point out the other party's problems in person, and repeatedly emphasized, of course, only for people close to him, but it also made Guo Biting a little unaccustomed, and decisively changed the topic: "What script did you read?" ”
"A very good movie script!" Shen Lian knew that she was deliberately changing the topic, but he still followed her words and said, "The lineup is also very strong!" I'll probably be the male number two. ”
"Who are they?" Guo Biting was aroused by Shen Lian's last sentence and asked.
How long has it been since Shen Lian ,,,,,, played the second male lead?
"It could be Leonardo, it could be Christian Bale, it could be Hugh Jackman." Shen Lian said.
"I am also the second male lead in "Witness", but I won the Golden Statue and Golden Horse Double Actor." Shen Lian finally said an extremely domineering word, which also showed his ambition. At the same time, he also expressed his attitude and agreed to star in "The Prisoner".
