Han Kwon Woo's comfort was still very effective, before that, the actors and crew members, when they learned that "Transformers" turned out to be MGM Pictures' last bet, said that it was impossible without pressure. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If it is a normal situation, then it is normal and appropriate to take the salary of MGM Pictures and work hard to shoot movies. But this time "Transformers" is MGM Pictures' last bet, with a hundred years of glory and the only company with the surname of Reading Power Producer as a bet, in this case, who has no pressure is pure fool and second goods.

"yes, actually, it's not about us to bet or whatever, we're just the actors, the director and the crew, and our job, as Lee said, is to do our job. Don't be too stressed, I have carefully read and studied the script, and I can tell everyone with great certainty that there is absolutely no problem with the script, and "Transformers" is definitely a high-quality movie. As long as we all work hard, then we will definitely be able to shoot a high-quality "Transformers". A high-quality "Transformers", after its release, will definitely be loved and sought after by everyone, and when the time comes, we ourselves will gain fame and fortune, and at the same time, MGM Pictures will also get a huge harvest, maybe in the future, MGM Pictures will really come back to life, then in the future, all MGM Pictures people and fans will definitely remember us, remember all the people we are doing today. It is because of us that the movie "Transformers" will appear, and MGM Pictures will be saved. ”

At this time, director Michael? Bei couldn't help but stand up and began to play the double reed with Han Quanyou. Ginger is old and spicy, Michael? Pei's linguistic organization is obviously much stronger than Han Kwonwoo's. At least from the reactions of everyone present, it can still be seen that the tension and worry on everyone's faces have gradually disappeared, and the laughter and chatters have also sounded, and they have begun to return to the casualness of the American surname.

Seeing that everyone had recovered somewhat and no longer seemed nervous, Han Quanyou couldn't help but feel relieved. You must know that in the whole world, the most nervous person is none other than Han Quanyou.

After all, in MGM's company, Han Quanyou spent two billion dollars. If MGM Pictures fails, it also means that the two billion dollars will also be lost.

Although Han Quanyou is very rich, half of the money floating away at once will definitely make Han Quanyou feel distressed for a lifetime.

For Michael? Bei showed a look that both of them understood, and then the two laughed at the same time, and Han Quanwoo came to the table where the main actor was with his wine.

Although Han Kwon-woo is the screenwriter of the movie and is also a correspondent for MGM Pictures, in the end, Han Kwon-woo sees himself more as an actor. So, it's normal to sit down with the main actors and talk about the script and what you think of yourself.

That's right, the commissioner of MGM Pictures is Han Kwonwoo, which is a decision that both MGM Pictures and the crew agree on.

Han Quanyou, as the head of MGM Films, goes to be a correspondent himself, and is also an insider, and he is also the main actor, knows a lot of details and inner doors, and is undoubtedly the most suitable person as a commissioner. What's more, Han Quanyou is the head of MGM Pictures, and everything that needs to be spent on the filming of "Transformers" is paid for by Han Quanyou, Harry? Sloan and Jason? Cruise and the others also didn't believe that Han Quanyou would do his best.

Similarly, the crew also raised their hands in favor of MGM Studios' arrangement. After all, the commissioner, to put it mildly, is to monitor, to see if there is any corruption and self-enrichment in the crew, and every penny of the company seems to be spent where it should be spent.

Although this is a very normal thing, in the eyes of the crew, this is the company's distrust of themselves and an insult to themselves, but this industry is like this, and no one can change this phenomenon. This also leads to the fact that, many times, the relationship between the crew and the commissioner sent by the salary is very bad.

On the one hand, he thinks that the other party does not trust him and deliberately sends someone to spy on him, which is an insult to himself. On the other hand, they think that the company pays you money to make movies, because they can afford you, and they are people from the headquarters, and they always feel superior. In this case, how can the relationship between the two parties be good.

But Han Quanyou doesn't hurt, first, Han Quanyou is also an actor, it can be said that he is his own person, and at the same time, Han Quanyou is also a screenwriter, in addition to the director and producer of the crew, it can be said that he is a high authority, (because he is the head of MGM Pictures, it can be said that in secret, Han Quanyou is definitely the one with the most power, and no one can challenge Han Quanyou's authority) Third, Han Quanyou is also a person in the circle, who knows where and under what circumstances, some necessary expenses should be sought, and he will not twitter like a layman, Pointing and shouting non-stop.

Therefore, regarding Han Quanyou becoming the liaison officer between the two sides, neither the crew nor MGM Pictures has the slightest opinion, on the contrary, it is unusually in favor.

"How's it going, do you have confidence in the movie "Transformers"?" Sitting Megan? Fox beside megan, looking at the beautiful Megan? Fox, Han Kwonwoo asked with a smile.

"Whether there is confidence or not, it's not up to me to say, it's just up to all of us to work together. Besides, you are also an actor and the screenwriter of the movie "Transformers", compared to us, you know and are most familiar with the movie "Transformers". Whether there is faith or not, it is up to you to ask yourself. ”

Looking at the handsome and handsome Han Kwon-woo, Megan? Fawkes smiled and shook his head. To be honest, for the movie "Transformers", Megan? Fox really doesn't care much, after all, Meghan? Fox knows that he is just a small actor and can get a salary of three million dollars, which has made Meghan? Fawkes was satisfied.

Now, Megan? The only thing Fox can do is to do his best to make this film and prove that he is worthy of the $7 million salary offered by MGM Pictures.

At this time, Josh sitting on the side? Du Mingha couldn't help but smile and said: "Of course, we will definitely do everything we can to make the movie "Transformers", after all, we are professional actors, and we must be worthy of every salary offered to us by our MGM studio." ”

Compared to the obscure Megan? Fox, Josh? Duhamel is undoubtedly much more famous and popular. Since 2002, Josh? Duhamel's career is still rising, although it is not yet worth the top Hollywood actors, but MGM Pictures gave Josh? Is Duhamel's $12 million salary enough to make Josh? Duhamel entered the ranks of first-line actors.

As for the director Michael? Bey's salary is definitely the highest in the entire crew, because Michael? Director Bei's salary reached 14 million US dollars. If it weren't for such a high salary, Michael? It is impossible for Bei to nod and agree to be the director of the movie "Transformers" just because the script of "Transformers" is excellent.

Compared with the total investment of 200 million US dollars in "Transformers", the salary of 14 million US dollars is indeed less than 10% of the total investment, and even more accurate, it is only 7%. In the Hollywood director industry, directors who take money according to this ratio can only be regarded as small directors.

However, considering that "Transformers" is a high investment of 200 million US dollars, although it is only 7%, it is also a full salary of 14 million US dollars, which is definitely not a low salary.

Of course, Michael? Bei's worth is actually not high, compared with those top directors, who only get dividends or 20% of the total investment in the movie, Michael? Bei's money is really nothing.

For example, Cameron, the god of commercial blockbusters, directly relies on dividends, and the salary he gets is enough to kill anyone in seconds. "Titanic" brought Cameron more than $90 million in revenue. As for the future "Avatar", it is more than 300 million US dollars.

In Hollywood, there is no fixed remuneration for directors, which is generally 5 to 20 percent of the total investment in a film. can get 20% of the directors, that is the absolute top director. However, 20% of this money is basically rarely taken, because the directors who can get this price are all top directors, and basically they don't need to get a fixed salary, and more often they directly take movie box office dividends.

Of course, now that the times are changing, the salaries of directors and actors are getting higher and higher. Especially for Hollywood's top directors and actors, more and more people have adopted the box office dividend model, and how much they can get paid is determined by the box office.

"Okay, we don't have a few days to live, let's celebrate today, in a few days, we're going to start shooting." Raising his glass, Han Kwonwoo smiled and looked at Megan? Fox and Josh? Duhamel smiled.

"Cheers!" Megan? Fox and Josh? Du Hamel and the two also raised their wine glasses with a smile, and the three of them collided together, whispered together, and then drank the wine in the wine glasses in one gulp.

Three days later, in the midst of all the attention, the uproar "Transformers", a movie that was changed from a toy to a live-action version and would not be favored by people, was finally about to start filming.

After a series of procedures, Han Kwon Woo and the crew finally started the filming of "Transformers".

And Han Quanyou everyone, the first place to go is Alaska in the United States.

Alaska is definitely the most special existence of all the states in the United States. It is also arguably the coldest, poorest, and least populated state.

In this vast area of 1.7 million square kilometers, there are less than 100,000 people. There is less than one person per square kilometre. And more than half of the population lives in only a few large cities, which also means that in the vast land of Alaska, unless it is a major city, you may not meet a single person even if you walk for a few days and nights, or even walk for months or years.

Uh~~~ The main cities are also very shabby, and the only few major cities have less than 50,000 people per capita, which is not as good as even a township compared to China.

1.7 million square kilometers of land, which the Americans bought from the Russians at a cost of only $7.2 million. All that counts, one square kilometer of land is worth only four .1 dollars! This land is really cheap enough.

It can be said that the so-called world's largest land deal between the United States and Russia at the beginning was definitely a big profit. Although Alaska is very cold and basically has no future for development, such a large land is the most valuable, especially the timber business in Alaska, which costs far more than $7.2 million a year, not to mention the special environment here, which makes the fishing industry here very developed, and it is dedicated to the kind of expensive and luxurious fish.

Four dollars to buy a full square kilometer of land, is really super cheap, I'm afraid in the world, there is no cheaper price. Even if the money that has been more than 100 years old is worth more, even if it appreciates 10,000 times now, it is only 410,000 US dollars per square kilometer, which can be said to be an ultra-cheap price. Not to mention that it has only been a hundred years, and it is impossible for money to appreciate ten thousand times in such a short period of time.

All this shows that a hundred years ago, the Americans did do the most cost-effective deal, although the conditions here are not good, there is no future for development, but such a large land, just timber and fishing, every year to bring income, if according to the original purchase price of Alaska, a year, enough to buy a few Russia.

Of course, for the ridicule of people all over the world, polar bear Russia is also very calm. For Russia, Alaska is a chicken rib, it is a pity to abandon it, it is tasteless, and you can get a little money, this deal is definitely a good deal.

Anyway, Russia lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of land, not to mention that Alaska is still hanging on another continent, and there is a Bering Strait in the middle, such a place, for Russia, there is no temptation at all.

In short, one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer, which has caused the most earth-shattering big deal in the world.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Han Kwon-woo, nor does it have anything to do with the entire "Transformers" crew. The main reason why I came to Alaska was to shoot movies. Because at the beginning of "Transformers", it was explained that the protagonist Sam Ancestor met the number one villain boss Megatron in the ice, and engraved the map of Tinder on Sam's eyes, which triggered the later story.

The first master is only in April and May, although the north of the United States is also relatively cold near Canada, but the background of the story is set in the North Pole, the first master this month, filming near Canada, it is difficult to get the most affected scene, so the first stop of the crew came to Alaska, which is further north and the weather is colder.

"Damn~~~ Damn, the weather here is really terrible." Accustomed to the warm sunshine of California, and suddenly came to Alaska, which is cold all year round, the whole crew was very uncomfortable.

No, while wrapping the fur coat tighter, Josh? Duhamel couldn't help but babble at the cold weather in Alaska.

"Forget it, Josh, you better save some effort, if you get angry with the weather in Alaska, maybe there's a storm to meet us."

Han Quanyou is also very unaccustomed to the cold weather in Alaska, and comforts Josh with no energy? Duhamin.

"Shit!" Listened to Han Kwon-woo, Josh? Du Hamel couldn't help but curse in a low voice, and then wrapped his clothes tighter, but he still couldn't block the biting cold air.

Fortunately, the airport is only six kilometers away from Anchorage City, and the wind and snow are a little heavy, and it took half an hour for the crew to finally arrive at a hotel in Anchorage City that had been booked in advance.

In fact, it is an exaggeration to say that the hotel is also an exaggeration, in Alaska, a place with a very small population, and it is difficult to break 50,000 in a major city, how can there be a hotel in such a small place. Speaking of hotels, it is better to say that it is a hotel.

There was a thick fire in the hotel, after all, Alaska wood and wind and snow are never lacking, and when the group walked into the hotel, they instantly felt better.

"Damn Alaska, I hate this place of the shit." Take off your hat and shake off the already thick snow, Josh? Duhamel couldn't help but underestimate it again.

"Okay, if you want to rest, you can take a break first, don't be in a hurry to start filming these days!" After making sure that all the crew members were present, director Michael? Bei opened his mouth and commanded.

Uh~~~ In Alaska, which is vast and barren, coupled with huge snowstorms, getting lost is a common occurrence. Most of the locals have excellent hunting dogs, which can pull sleds to prevent encounters with wolves or black bears, as well as to prevent getting lost and not finding their way home. Han Quanyou and others have investigated all this in advance, and of course they understand, so just Michael? Bei Cai counted the number of people.

An ordinary little hotel, the rooms here are not very ideal, but at least it is enough to have a place to rest. At this point, whether it is Han Quanyou or other staff, including Megan? Fox, none of them were emotional.

I have to say that everyone is a professional in the end, and after taking the money, they really started to work hard for the movie, and the shooting conditions are a little more difficult and tiring, and everyone understands it very well, and they don't really complain about anything.

The wind and snow were flying outside, and the room was a simple bedroom and a toilet, in this case, everyone didn't have the heart to stay in the room, and came to the lobby of the hotel bored, ordered a few glasses of spirits and some things, and several people sat together and chatted.

And at this time, Han Kwonwoo is with Michael? Bei and a local guide who had been contacted in advance sat together, with a lost map of Alaska on the table, and a few detailed maps of Alaska on the side, and Han Quanyou described the filming location he was looking for to the locals, hoping that the other party could give a most suitable and ideal place.
