"If you're talking about Lee from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie, then I'm sure it's me!" Looking at Meghan with a surprised face? Fox, Han Quanyou nodded with a somewhat smug smile. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Ah~~~ It's really you, Lee, I'm your fan, your Pirates of the East in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie is so cool, and the script of "Pirates of the Caribbean", how did you think of it, you would create such a perfect script and shoot such a perfect movie!"
Seeing Han Kwonwoo admit it, Megan? Fox said excitedly. Don't look at Megan? Fox is also an actor and has been in the show business for several years, but in the end he is just a small star, not even second-rate.
And Han Kwonwoo, although he has only shot two Hollywood movies, what cannot be ignored is that these two movies are big box office movies, both of which are gold-absorbing movies that have broken one billion dollars at the box office. Although many experts attack the second and third parts of "Pirates of the Caribbean", thinking that it is full of loopholes, to put it bluntly, it is idle and has nothing to do, and there is nothing to do.
But it is undeniable that the two movies have exceeded one billion dollars at the global box office, which is a real hit. This alone is enough to attract everyone's attention. And Han Quanyou also squeezed into the ranks of first-line actors with the second and third parts of "Pirates of the Caribbean". And because of the big box office of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie, it has also been recognized by people, at least Han Quanyou's strength in commercial films has reached recognition.
In this case, Megan? Fox, a third-rate actor, was extremely excited when he saw such a first-class actor as Han Quanyou, and naturally he was like an ordinary little girl seeing an idol.
"Hehe, thank you. But let's talk about the movie first! "Didn't expect Megan? Fox was so excited after seeing him, Han Quanyou was really a little uncomfortable, after all, Megan? In Han Kwonwoo's impression, Fox is still the big name who came out of "Transformers" and became the world's top actress, surnamed Goddess of Sense, rather than a small role.
"Hee-hee, it's okay, Lee has come to me personally, of course I won't refuse. What's more, with my current popularity and influence, as long as there is a movie that can be made, it is very good, so what qualifications are there to refuse. "Speaking of which, Megan? Fawkes's tone was full of sadness, and his emotions began to grow.
"Hehe, don't be like this, believe me, believe in this movie, this movie will definitely make you turn over and make the whole earth popular." See Meghan? Fox was clearly lacking in self-confidence right now, and Han Kwonwoo couldn't help but comfort him.
"Oh, what movie?" Listen to Han Kwon-woo say this, Megan? Fox couldn't help but be curious, and finally focused on the movie.
"Well, that's it, I'm not in a hurry, you can take a look first, take a look!" Han Kwon Woo handed over the outline script that had been prepared long ago to Megan? Fawkes, then smiled and leaned back on the couch by himself, drinking coffee and waiting quietly.
Although young, it's been so many years since her debut, Megan? Fox is also an old qualification. Although she has her own agent, she is not Meghan at all? Fox's own agent, just Meghan? Fox's agent, an older sister in the circle, has time to help Megan? Fox handful.
Since her debut, more often than not, Meghan has been talking about contracts? Fox solves it on his own, rarely asking others to help.
This also raised Megan? Fox is particularly serious and serious when it comes to things like contracts. After all, in the absence of an agent, everything needs to be on your own, and it is necessary to be serious and serious, after all, no one wants to sell themselves.
"Huh~~~" The outline is not long, and after ten minutes, Megan? Fox also finished reading. Long sigh of relief, Megan? Fox looked at Han Quanyou with some confusion and said, "Toy, science fiction!" ”
"It's obvious!" Take Meghan? The outline handed back by Fox was put away, and Han Quanyou smiled and nodded lightly in acknowledgement.
"Lee, please don't blame me for not being self-conscious, I also know that I am not qualified to ask any questions at all. But I'm still curious about why this film chose a live-action film that was changed from a toy, and whether there was a market for such a film, and it was also a collaboration with MGM Pictures. Of course, I'm not saying that I look down on MGM Pictures, on the contrary, I have always had great respect for MGM Pictures, but now MGM Pictures is not in a very good situation, and after reading the script just now, I am definitely sure that it is science fiction, and it takes a lot of money to shoot the best results. I'm sure you don't want this movie to be just a bad movie, Lee! ”
Megan? Fox's inquiry suddenly made Han Quanyou's eyes light up, and he couldn't help but sigh, the children of poor families have long been in charge. Although now Megan? Fox doesn't have much reputation, but he is indeed a veteran actor, with a smart brain, and he is very accurate. Trust Megan? Fox's doubts are definitely the doubts of all the actors he invited to participate in this movie next.
"First of all, I'm curious about live-action movies about toy changes, and I think it's very marketable, because so far, there really haven't been any movies about toy changes. Although the live-action toy movie is indeed very unpopular, as long as we promote it well and the script is of high quality, the resulting movie will definitely be a big hit. As for working with MGM Pictures, it's simpler, as you said, the current situation at MGM is very bad, and if I had before, I probably wouldn't have considered working with MGM Pictures. But this time, MGM Studios approached me and vowed to invest at least $150 million to $200 million in the production of a movie, so we didn't have to worry about anything when it came to movie funding. What's more, MGM Pictures is really not in a good situation right now, so they want this film to be successful more than us. Under these circumstances, it is important to believe that MGM Pictures can give us the greatest support and help for the success of this film. What's more, even if the hatred in this movie is unsuccessful, what does this have to do with us actors, can't we take on other scripts in the future! ”
Han Kwonwoo doesn't want Megan? Fox knew that MGM Pictures was now in charge. Because Han Kwon Woo understands very well that Americans are arrogant and xenophobic, if they don't make some achievements, let people know that they are the current owner of MGM Pictures, then they will definitely be affected by public opinion from all walks of life around the world.
You can not bird this kind of public opinion, but you can never ignore it, under the huge public opinion, if the mentality is not carefully corrected, then the consequences can be fatal. Look at the Korean entertainment industry, how many artists are because they are under huge public opinion, because they did not have a good mentality for a while, and finally embarked on the road of no return.
Therefore, at this stage, Han Kwonwoo will never allow the outside world to know that he is the current owner of MGM Pictures. Even within MGM Studios, only the members of the board of directors knew about it, and the rest of the people didn't know about it.
At that time, in order to avoid the news of his stay at MGM Pictures from being revealed by some board members who did not like him, he even forced everyone to sign a confidentiality contract at that time to ensure that the news of his stay at MGM Pictures would not be known by the media.
As for when it is time to disclose his identity, Han Kwon Woo thought about it again and again, and according to the specific situation in the hearts of Hollywood and Americans, it was finally determined that it was the best time when MGM Pictures turned a profit.
After all, at that time, MGM Pictures had come back to life, and all of this was done by their own efforts. Under such circumstances, even if the media and the American people are resistant and dissatisfied, they will not say anything, at least in terms of public opinion, they can almost ignore the appointment, who is unhappy, who has opinions, and try to save MGM Films, which has a debt of $4 billion.
"Well, you're right, it doesn't matter much to us actors. But can MGM Pictures really come up with $200 million to invest in the movie, and the most important thing about the movie is the script in the final analysis. ”
"Of course, I can guarantee you that you don't have to doubt that MGM Pictures seems to be able to come up with 200 million dollars, there's no doubt about that, and even more if you ask for it. As for the script, you don't have to worry about that, because I'm the screenwriter of the film. Although the live-action version of the toy movie is very unpopular, I just like to play the unpopular, I believe that with the results of the second or third part of "Pirates of the Caribbean", it should be able to prove my strength in this aspect! ”
See Meghan? Fox was a little moved, and Han Quanyou couldn't help laughing and said, Signal Megan? Fox rest assured, these things are nothing at all, there is no problem at all, you don't need to think too much about it, just agree.
"Ah~~~Lee, you're saying that you've taken over the movie and worked as a screenwriter for it?" Megan? Fox looked at Han Quanyou with a surprised face, and wondered why Han Quanyou chose to cooperate with MGM Pictures and other agencies at this time.
"Of course, the script you just read was created by me."
Megan? Fox couldn't help but be stunned, thinking of the script just now, and had to admit that although it was just an outline, it was really good, let Megan? Fox was intrigued.
It is precisely because of interest that just Megan? Fox would ask so many questions, otherwise, if he wasn't interested in the script, I'm afraid Meghan? Fox doesn't need to care as much as he did just now, keep asking questions, just choose to agree or refuse.
Thinking of the script just now, Megan? Fox also has to admit that Han Quanyou does have an enviable talent in script creation on unpopular themes. The second and third parts of "Pirates of the Caribbean" are already the best proof, and the script just now also made Megan? Fox got a glimpse of Han Kwon-woo's creative talent in unpopular films.
Thinking of this, Megan? Fox couldn't help but feel a little excited, maybe this was really an opportunity for himself. Maybe with this movie, he will be able to completely turn over as Han Quanyou said, and from then on, he will slip away from the ranks of Hollywood's top actresses, chatting with those top actresses about handsome guys, cosmetics and fashion shows.
The live-action version of the toy movie is indeed very unpopular, but the more unpopular it is, it also means that as long as it is successful, then the reward is super huge. Because it is unpopular, no one else will compete with you for this market, as long as the movie is excellent, then this also means that the market that belongs to the live-action version of the toy movie can be monopolized almost all.
Movies of any genre have their own fixed market, but they are smaller than those movies with popular themes. But as long as the unpopular movies can be successful, then this also means that you can monopolize all the markets for this theme film alone, which is definitely huge.
It's better to have five tiers of live-action toy films, but the hottest market for movie genres in the United States has 30 tiers, if not more. But you have to know that the more popular it is, the more people will shoot, and the greater the competition, even if you shoot well, I'm afraid you will have to face competition with countless opponents.
But the reason why unpopular movies are unpopular is because they are not popular, perhaps because there are no good films coming out, which also makes investors rarely choose to invest in this aspect of the movie. Therefore, as long as the movie is successful, then you can instantly monopolize all the unpopular film market, that is, the five layers.
Compared with the first and second floors, the gap between the five floors and the first and second floors can be seen as long as you are not a fool. This is also why, as soon as "Pirates of the Caribbean" was released, it was a huge success and began its own crazy journey to attract money.
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series is indeed very good, and it is top-notch in all aspects, but if it weren't for the fact that pirate-themed movies are unpopular, no one cares, I'm afraid that no matter how perfect the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series is, it will not be as successful and sensational as it is now.
In the final analysis, it was because of the unpopularity that no one tried, which eventually led to the perfect success of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and monopolized the entire market alone, which made every one of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series a big-box office movie, and the box office was high enough to make anyone jealous and crazy.
"Lee, are you just a screenwriter in this movie, will you also play a role like in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie?" Megan? Fawkes asked with a smile as he took a leisurely sip of his coffee.
But Han Kwon-woo from Megan? Fox's tone and words, or do you hear Meghan? Fox is already very excited, maybe to say, now Megan? Fox has basically agreed to participate in the filming of the movie "Transformers".
"Of course, that's for sure, after all, I'm not just a screenwriter, I'm also an actor. I would like to be able to participate in the scripts that I have created myself. ”
"Hee-hee, the famous Lee invited me to participate in the filming, and I, a third-rate actor, will certainly not refuse."
"So you agree."
"Of course, it's a pleasure to work with!"
"Happy working together!" Han Kwon Woo and Megan? Fawkes stood up with a smile, shook his hand, and said.
Got Megan? Fox, Han Quanyou couldn't help humming a little song happily, now it's done with Megan? Fox is the heroine, so the next thing is much easier, so Han Quanwoo plans to go back to MGM Pictures first, and wants to ask Harry? Sloan's old fox, what the hell is Michael? How did Bei and the United States [***] and those politicians talk.
Originally, Han Quanyou just temporarily put Megan? Fox is sure that as for the other roles, Han Kwonwoo really didn't think too much about it. After all, Han Quanyou's mind is also full of contradictions.
It stands to reason that Han Quanyou prefers to play the male lead, but the male protagonist in "Transformers" is actually a vase in the final analysis, at most a bubble girl, standing in the house of the United States [***] and Optimus Prime, and playing a relationship as an intermediary liaison.
And can't think of the actor, Han Quanyou even thinks, the second male lead, that is, Josh? The captain of the military special forces played by Du Hamin is more handsome, cooler, and the role is more perfect.
Compared to the role of the actor Sam, Han Kwonwoo would prefer to play Josh? Duhamel's captain of the special forces, but this character is not the protagonist, and because of his sensitive status as a soldier, it is difficult to play an intermediate relationship between the military and the home of Optimus Prime.
This point made Han Quanyou very depressed and entangled, and if he wanted to remove the role of Sam, then the whole script would change greatly, and Han Quanyou also preferred to play the male lead rather than the second male lead.
So playing the role of the captain of the special forces, making this role the male protagonist, is indeed a bit unsuitable, although the script does not need to be overhauled like removing Sam, but many places also need to be revised, which is really a headache.
That's why, Han Kwon-woo just looked for Megan first? Fox, identified Megan? Fox, the heroine, went home. Didn't go to Josh? Du Hamming's other actors, the most important thing is that Han Quanyou has not yet made up his mind about what role and position he will put himself.
MGM Pictures is one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, and although the king of the past is sunset, he is also the king in the end. Although MGM operates in secrecy, it has been discovered by the pervasive media.
MGM Pictures has had the biggest change in the top board of directors, there is a mysterious fund to help MGM Pictures pay off its debts, and MGM Pictures has also begun to contact directors and actors, prepare equipment and choose venues, and even frequent contacts with politicians in the United States and the Pentagon, all of which have made the pervasive media track down and find and break the news one by one, after all, all this proves that MGM Pictures is preparing to make a big-budget movie, after all, it is involved with politicians and the military, Then money is indispensable, and this is the characteristic of American capitalism, and everything looks at money.
MGM's Big Move? All of a sudden, almost the entire Los Angeles media began to report frantically, and starting from Los Angeles, the news spread throughout the United States at a very fast speed, and all of a sudden, the entire United States was speculating about what MGM Pictures was going to do and what kind of movie it was going to make.
