Chapter 120: Salary, 50,000 Dollars! Who is the heroine?
What happened on Beverly Mountain, Luo Yaoxiang couldn't possibly know, that place was basically two worlds to him, but now, he had very good news.
I got that role, the male protagonist of the movie "Blue Flame"!
YEAH! ~
Really, Luo Yaoxiang wanted to shout like this to relieve the depression in his heart, but it was not ......
Hey, Lao Ke's big white fat man appeared at the right time, and this guy was in front of the camera of other news reporters, and he actually said to himself dear, this is a big groove!
What does this make audiences across the United States think?
What will this make future fans think?!
"Holy! Who is that big white fat man? ”
"Needless to say, that guy must be a, and a lot of white fat people are like that."
"Don't speak ill of fat people! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will sue you for discriminating against obese groups! ”
Don't you really say it, you react so fast......
Well, the above are all things that Luo Yaoxiang saw on the Internet, but Lionsgate contacted him through the most commonly used phone now, although webmail has been widely used in recent years, but this kind of thing is better by phone.
Yes, that's right, it's the male lead!
Is Lao Tzu's life about to be reversed?
Ahahahaha......
I'm not happy that it's fake, and this role is still snatched from a group of future Hollywood stars, the hands of Hollywood little fresh meat at this time, cool!
Luo Yaoxiang was in a really good mood, and he was told on the phone that he would discuss the performance contract......
"$50,000?"
When Luo Yaoxiang appeared at Lionsgate's Santa Monica headquarters, when he saw his contract, he couldn't help it.
Is $50,000 too little?
"This is a kind of care for a newcomer like you...... "In fact, Lionsgate originally wanted 20,000. But I am afraid that if this matter is poked out, some people will attack them for mistreating laborers.
Malegobi! Or take care of Lao Tzu?
Well, anyone will complain, because the price is too far from Luo Yaoxiang's psychological expectations!
Is this Hollywood good? Isn't it supposed to be a drunken gold fan? Shouldn't any actor say that he wants tens of millions of dollars or something?
Well, if you don't ask for 10 million, 100,000 won't you succeed? Isn't it even two digits?
Luo Yaoxiang would like to have an in-depth discussion on this issue. But though, his homo economicus spoke.
"Yaoxiang, it's actually still very good, this salary is much more than the salary of many male stars when they debuted, and you don't have any acting experience, in addition, Lionsgate will give some individual benefits."
Broker?
Well, there's got to be such a guy anyway, and that's what you have to do in Hollywood. If you don't have one, that's fine, there are brokerage companies, and they will come to do the work of brokers, because brokerage companies are just a group of brokers.
Then you say you don't want a brokerage company?
Then there is only one result, you are not working!
Luo Yaoxiang is very clear about this, and he actually used to play tricks through brokerage companies. The laws on the U.S. side are very perfect, so. The brokerage company will give you a short contract. Moreover, there are many, many such agencies in Hollywood, and they are responsible for helping to find tricks, even if it is a well-known CAA, they also take this kind of work.
To know. There is a reciprocal relationship here, that is, since the producer handed over the work of recruiting actors to the agency, then people outside this agency, then I'm sorry, you go to other sets. We've got it!
It's a bit similar to the monopoly of the underworld, really, but the means are more civilized, more legal, and everyone acts according to the contract.
The producer generally recruits actors, because most movies and TV series need a lot of actors, and they can't find them one by one, at most, they are looking for the main ones, those big names, and then follow, the big-name brokerage companies will come over.
So who is Luo Yaoxiang's agent now?
Zhang Wenhua, he is very familiar with Luo Yaoxiang, and he is more familiar with the operation of Hollywood than Luo Yaoxiang, and besides, he is really an agent, Zhang Wenhua's explanation of his identity is that he wants to be a bridge to connect the treasure island and Hollywood......
Luo Yaoxiang said in his heart, if you directly say that you are selling people, we will not look down on you.
Zhang Wenhua is owned by CAA, but what is the benefit that Zhang Wenhua said?
"Lionsgate agreed, and they can help you pay back that compensation."
It's that 5,000 US dollars.
That's not bad, but there's one more thing.
"In addition, Lionsgate can also help you pay for joining the Screen Actors Guild, you see, they are very generous."
This one...... Does it take a lot of money to join the Actors Guild?
To be honest, before coming to Hollywood, Luo Yaoxiang had certainly heard about the Screen Actors Guild in the United States, such as what was written in the big director of the Red Book, the union is actually very cheating, very pitiful, and the actors' union is also very pitiful.
Luo Yaoxiang really didn't think so when he was reading the book at that time, because in his thoughts, no matter what the trade union said, it was also speaking for us workers. Moreover, there seems to be the kind of Hollywood novels that say that the union is very good, what is it called, forget it.
But......
3,000 US dollars, this is the price of becoming a Screen Actors Guild of America!
Malegobi! Really, after knowing this price code, who can not scold?
This is just a formal entry fee, you must know that this is official, you can also play the whole ticket or something, but then the union will not care much about you. Besides, this is just the beginning, and the union will suck your blood in the future!
Therefore, Luo Yaoxiang, who was playing tricks, did not join. This is normal, of course, there are also people who have joined the trade union, that may be that people are not bad for money, or people have dreams, because after joining the union, the price of your dragon set will rise. Those brokerage companies won't like this kind of trick.
But now, Luo Yaoxiang is about to become the protagonist of a movie, so this official membership is a must, if you don't join, I'm sorry, the people in the union won't trouble you Luo Yaoxiang. But they will make Lionsgate notorious or even bankrupt!
All the actors under my union are boycotting you Lionsgate!
What do you think? Afraid?!
Lionsgate also offers a perk, and that is Michael. Burns promised that they would help Luo Yaoxiang get that 'letter of recommendation'!
Obviously, the director Yozner, reported to Burns in detail, which is really tempting for Luo Yaoxiang......
So, if Lionsgate helps him pay these two sums of money, then look at it this way, the salary is okay.
"Alright then!" Luo Yaoxiang is not a grinder. So he agreed.
In fact, after Luo Yaoxiang came to the United States, he had a general understanding of the income situation in the United States. In fact, it's quite hard, rich people are really rich, but the general public is like that, the so-called middle class is a family of 50,000 US dollars, which is two people together, and. Speaking of Wall Street, the average person has an annual salary of 4-50,000 yuan. This is already very enviable.
Therefore, this time's salary, including benefits, is nearly 60,000 dollars, although it is a sad level in the actor industry, but it is not bad...... What else do you need for a bicycle?
Don't even say it, Hollywood's efficiency is really fast. As soon as the contract is signed, I will immediately tell Luo Yaoxiang that our movie will start filming soon.
Think about it, too, because this movie as a whole doesn't require a lot of preparation, and the screenwriting work just follows what is in the novel. The Japanese novels are written in great detail, and the workload of this screenwriter is actually very small, and as for the rest, this is obviously a modern youth film, and it is not too easy to shoot costumes and props.
Then, the focus should be on the people in this movie crew......
"Let's meet today, and then the male and female protagonists need to go to a press conference with me, don't be nervous, it's not a big press conference, Burns guy is very picky."
It's August 1999, and the whole crew is about to start operating, Luo Yaoxiang, the leading actor, was notified to have a crew meeting, so he met this guy who spoke, he said he was the director of this play, and this guy ......
I've seen it! It's the one who boasted about himself at the audition!
That's right, the director of the American version of "Green Flame" is this Brian. Yozner!
Luo Yaoxiang also now knows that the guy in front of him is the famous Brian. Yozner, Yozner was really famous in the 90s, especially his ghost films, a "Living Jumping Corpse" basically stereotyped Hollywood ghost movies.
It is......
Plasma!
Plasma!
Or plasma!
To be honest, this should be called a plasma film, which most people will find disgusting, and Luo Yaoxiang has seen a live jumping corpse, and he has a ...... for the style of the director of Yozner. This guy has a lot of weird ideas.
After that, there is another screenwriting work that Luo Yaoxiang is more familiar with, that one is slightly more normal, called "Dear I Made My Child Smaller", a bit of a comedy with a sense of fantasy, this movie Luo Yaoxiang remembers that in the 90s, we often show it on domestic TV stations.
Anyway, in short, it's such a weird director, Luo Yaoxiang didn't know the true face of this person before, and this guy ...... An ordinary, wrinkled-faced, unshaven middle-aged American man...... It's really hard to define his age level.
Well, let's not talk about him as a director, so isn't it time for the male and female leads? The male lead is here, but what about the female lead?
Heroine...... Luo Yaoxiang's eyes were not blind, he saw the pair of meat bullets very normally...... Oh, it's Annie. Hathaway!
Is it really her? This "Blue Flame", translated as blue light in the United States, is she really going to play the heroine?
This...... It seems that it's not bad to play against the little angel of the meat bullet...... Luo Yaoxiang's idea......
"I'm sorry! I'm late. ”
Just when Luo Yaoxiang was thinking nonsense, a blonde girl walked in!
Well?
When Luo Yaoxiang saw this blonde girl clearly at a glance, he immediately made a decision, the heroine of this American version of "Blue Flame" must be her!
Because this blonde is none other than Kirsten. Dunst!
Future Spider-Man girlfriend to play the heroine? Can't she Dunst be a female admirer?
Luo Yaoxiang can be said to be completely sure in his heart, because the actors in this room, that is, the young actors in "Green Flame", all of them have acting experience together, and it is estimated that they are not as good as a fraction of Dunst!
So......
"Ahh It's okay. When Yozner saw Dunst coming, he immediately introduced everyone, "This is Kirsten Dunst, and she is the heroine of our play." ”
Sure enough! (To be continued.) )
