Levy didn't expect that Winona had already thought about these things before coming here. And what surprised him even more was that the actor she found was Christian Bale, and this actor Levy had certainly heard of it.

"His girlfriend, Sandra, was my personal assistant." Winona also gave some explanations about how they met, "We met when we were filming "Little Women" together, and I always thought he was a very good actor, filming hard, and a good person. ”

Winona opened the door, and with a little pride and wisdom, she gestured to the party outside. Outside the house, her team of assistants was still standing, and among those people was Bell's girlfriend.

Winona's statement surprised Levy, but it was really unpredictable, and he didn't expect Bell to have a friendship with Winona. But that's definitely not a bad thing. In this movie, it would be appropriate to let Bale play the leading role.

The male protagonist in this movie is not particularly handsome, but needs to have strong personal characteristics, Bell is very expressive when acting, and can play various people with outstanding characteristics, let him play the male lead, it is absolutely possible.

Moreover, Levy also thought of another thing: Bell, an actor, has a very prominent characteristic: he is the kind of golden supporting role, and it is easy to highlight the people who perform with him when acting, and it is easy to make other people's roles more prominent when playing with actors of similar level. This kind of characteristic, Levy has seen in Nicolas Cage - whether it is changing his face or bravely entering the island of death, he is this problem, and Bell is similar, in Levy's memory, this is the person who can play Batman as a clown, such acting characteristics, no wonder Winona will find him to play with him.

But regardless of whether Winona is selfish or not, in short, she has really thought a lot about the movie.

"Since you've already thought about the movie in detail, then I'm relieved." Levy nodded, the rest of the things can be discussed in detail, but those are not what needs to be done today, "I may be busy these days, everything will be left to me, and Alexander will be responsible for the sharing and investment of the film." ”

"Then I'll let Jason talk to him." Winona nodded, she didn't want to talk about money either. Although she is not an actor who treats money like dung, as a star, she doesn't like to discuss the issue of money very much.

This temper also makes Levy appreciate it very much: the actors needed for this movie are still a little more naïve.

"Now that we've all agreed, I have one more question: we want to be able to get Winona and the lead character of your new movie in the pitch - is that okay?"

After all the other questions were gone, Jason spoke again.

Someone else can have no problem, but he can't. Levy could see that Winona and Levy had negotiated things like this, and he was also slightly dissatisfied: as an agent, he still hoped that he could talk about money first and then talk about cooperation, so that the actor and director had finalized the cooperation, and it would be much more troublesome for him to talk about work again.

Therefore, he also wanted to test it immediately to see what Levy's attitude towards the film was: now that the shooting of the film had been discussed, Winona also needed to package herself with new publicity. has made several bad movies in a row, Winona is also in a quagmire now, and if she can announce that she will cooperate with a popular director at the Oscar at this time, it will be good news for her image.

Levy can see this, and he also knows that as a star, it is difficult to say that he is very relieved to cooperate with a big director. He has worked with Spacey before, but Spacey is not a person who values money very much, nor does he care very much about personal image, and an actor like Winona is different from Spacey, if you want to work with her, it is impossible to just talk about a simple salary, and she needs to give her more confidence.

"Of course you can make a public announcement and use this propaganda. Not only can you advertise it, but I will do it too. ”

This situation made Levy immediately make a decision, and with that, he had already opened the door and walked out, walked to the middle of the party, stopped the music, and opened his mouth loudly, "Guys, I have something to announce here. I think some of us already know that I'm preparing to make a new film, and I'm glad that I've got Miss Winona Ryder as the lead actor in this film, and I'm sure she'll play this movie well, a classic. I also hope that there are still people in our crew who can continue to work with me. Because it is a pleasure to work with you, I cherish our cooperation. ”

After saying this, scanning the crowd, Levy also saw the excitement and some discussion in the crowd. He knew that announcing the shooting of the next film in the days when the film was just drawn seemed to many people to be a bit too rushed: Levy is a director, and not a commercial film director, so it is not a good thing that such a film is shot in a hurry.

Levy knew he needed to talk to them about something else.

"Guys, we have earned 20 million for this movie - I know you all put in enough effort for this movie, and each of us has worked hard, so I'll take out another 10 million of this as everyone's bonus!"

After Levy's words were finished, the entire venue was silent. People looked back at Levy, and everyone thought it was incredible for him to make a decision.

A movie with an investment of only 20 million, after getting an income of 40 million, immediately sent 10 million as a bonus?

This sentence changed the investment from 20 million to 30 million? In this world, there is still such a boss?

"Hooray!"

After a brief silence, a violent roar erupted directly from the venue. Levy's words doubled their income, and compared to box office hits and word-of-mouth praise, this is the most tangible thing to celebrate.

"10 million, he is really willing to do it." Jason, who was standing next to Winona, was also muttering with laughter at this time. There was a slight look of reluctance on his face, but at the same time, there was also some admiration for Levy.

Of course, Jason knows very well how much effect it will have on the crew if he takes out 10 million in one go to reward the entire crew. A film with a total investment of only 20 million, after the success, the amount of bonuses reached half of the investment, such a producer's style of doing things, as long as it spreads, it will definitely be praised for generosity - willing to take out one-third of the income of a movie and share it with others, and this person is still the first time to make a movie, and he himself does not invest much in the small director, who has this courage, it is definitely called generous.

Jason understood Levy's thoughts: With such a reputation, if you make a movie in the future, are you afraid that the crew will not work well? Working for a generous boss, making a good movie, and getting a big bonus -- who wouldn't want to do that?

Jason had heard about some of the other directors, and he knew that as a great director, he had his own set of ways to establish authority. Rumor has it that when James Cameron was filming the alien, because the requirements were too strict, the crew rioted, and he had to speak out to appease, but when the filming was over, he immediately called everyone together and told me loudly: I will be a great director, and you are doomed to be useless - for tyrants, they need obedience, not respect.

But Levi's way is different, he directly becomes a fortune boy, this time he scatters the money, and the next time everyone will definitely be willing to work with him.

From a collaborator's point of view, Jason felt a little sorry for Levy. But after thinking about it, Levy is so willing to spend money, which is also very beneficial to the production of his own movies. Even if he understands in his heart that this is done for himself, Jason is very satisfied in his heart: being able to come up with $10 million as a bonus is very convincing even if it is a show.

Jason knows that Levy is not very short of money, and although the income from the TV series is not as crazy as that of the movie, it is quite stable, and he is sure that Levy is definitely not short of money.

In the beginning, Jason was worried about whether Levy would be a slasher - he had met a lot of directors with great personalities, and quite a few people made movies where the accountant had to use his own relatives, and the actors' diet had to be the cheapest standard, and he did too much for money. Working with such a director, he has little confidence.

But now it seems that I don't need to worry about this.

His relaxed expression also fell on Levy's eyes.

Giving the actors some rewards after the success of a movie is something that a lot of studios do. And this time, what Levy did was only raise the reward funds very high. Winona Ryder can be said to have come just in time, she witnessed her own practice, and after this time, his reputation will be established quickly, and he spent 10 million to buy a good reputation, which can make more people happy to cooperate with him. This deal is definitely worth it!
