Listening to Zhou Shaoming's words, Ben's face was surprised, his mouth was so big that he could stuff an egg, and his face was in disbelief at this time, and after a long while, Ben grabbed his head and said incredulously: "Oh, boss, what did you just say, can you say it again?" ”

Zhou Shaoming was speechless, stretched out a finger and shook it, and said with a smile: "No, your boss and I are very busy, where is the time to say these words again, you hurry back and prepare to prepare, improve this script again, and make good preparations in the early stage, and strive to solve it within this month." You're running out of time, come on! When the lethal ID starts shooting, the Spartan 300 will also be launched at the same time! ”

Although this is the first time Ben has directed the filming of a movie alone, Zhou Shaoming did not give him too much time, and in order to seize the opportunity, he must work overtime while he is still sleeping.

"Okay, I got it." Ben nodded earnestly.

Seeing that this matter was also resolved, Zhou Shaoming stood up with a smile, shook hands with Ben, and said encouragingly: "Okay, you go and prepare for the early stage of the movie first, whether the first shot of Supernova Pictures can be fired or not is all up to you." ”

"Okay, I'll try! Thank you, Director. Ben thanked him and walked out of the office.

After Ben left, Zhou Shaoming looked at his script, and after reading it for a while, he felt that the script was no longer a problem at all, and Jon had already connected more than a dozen special effects production companies, and Zhou Shaoming was ready to choose a few to cooperate with the three hundred visual effects to the extreme.

Time is tight, and with your own special effects production department just beginning to take shape, it's impossible to do something as grand and epic on your own, so it's inevitable to seek help from a special effects company.

The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta are not the same as ordinary movies, Zach in the previous life? Schneider used this special visual effect in the style of American comics to show this originally bloody and violent movie to the extreme, and the unique and fresh, oil-painting-like picture brought the audience an unforgettable visual embodiment and a subversive impact of violent aesthetics.

After thinking about it, Zhou Shaoming decided to further deepen this technique, as for the entry of special effects, Zhou Shaoming thought of the Industrial Light & Magic Company that he had cooperated with before, when filming Resident Evil, Zhou Shaoming had cooperated with the Industrial Light & Magic Company, and now it is no problem to find the Industrial Light & Magic Company to join hands again.

Special effects o special effects! This indispensable film shooting department for post-RI super blockbusters has become the heaviest boulder in Zhou Shaoming's heart.

However, the establishment of the special effects department is not something that can be achieved overnight, and now it is better to choose the actors first, and then let's talk about it, and I am still hesitant in my heart which one to choose as the leading actor.

Just when Zhou Shaoming was thinking, the phone in Zhou Shaoming's office suddenly rang, and Zhou Shaoming picked up the phone, it was Jon who called.

"Boss, I've already contacted the actors on the list you gave me, and they're all available, so I've arranged a meeting for you, and the earliest is noon."

Listening to Jon's words, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but sigh at Jon's high efficiency, and Jingran made an appointment in such a short time.

"Well, okay, thank you, who is the appointment to meet at noon today?"

"Was it the boss you wrote the first entry, Gerald? Butler. I asked him to go to the Nottingham restaurant next to our company, and I think you should have lunch now, and by the way, you can save some time, boss, you just go over. ”

"Hehe, ok." Zhou Shaoming said with a smile.

Gerard Butler, who starred very well in the Spartan Three Hundred Warriors, is currently a small horn, and after the Three Hundred Warriors ushered in the biggest cháo of his film career, he did not soar and still hovered outside the first-class Hollywood film actors.

Zhou Shaoming's dream movie, in fact, he doesn't want to star Gerald in psychological terms, he is not only concerned about the movie in front of him, but the movie star's career in the next ten years, he hopes that the movie can become a star, and the star can also contribute to the movie and escort.

Although Zhou Shaoming is not very optimistic about Gerald Butler as the leading actor, but in line with the intention of preferring to kill mistakes and not let go, Zhou Shaoming still put him on the list, and at this time he naturally wants to see how the other party is, and if he really impresses himself, he will know at that time.

As he spoke, Zhou Shaoming hung up the phone, and then looked at the time, it was already more than twelve o'clock, and he had been busy for so long in the morning, so time naturally flew by. At this time, he was indeed hungry, so Zhou Shaoming put on a suit and walked out of the office.

While walking, Zhou Shaoming also made a phone call to Christina, telling her that he was going to meet the actor today, and asked her not to wait for him to go to dinner together.

Christina was very sensible and told Zhou Shaoming not to worry about her, just go and get busy. has a confidante like this, what is Zhou Shaoming not satisfied with, after a few sweet words, Zhou Shaoming hung up the phone with a smile and walked out of the company.

The Nottingham restaurant is next to Supernova Pictures, and Zhou Shaoming has also eaten with Christina several times, so he is naturally very familiar.

Familiar with the car entered the restaurant, and then found the seat that Jon had booked, fortunately, the United States is not very particular about lunch, and a casual sandwich can pass away lunch, so even if the meal is set in this kind of medium-grade restaurant, Zhou Shaoming doesn't care much about the guests he wants to invite.

Right now, in this small box, there is already a person waiting, this entry is naturally Gerard, the actor of Leonidas before Zhou Shaoming's crossing? Butler, the 32-year-old Gerard does not see any signs of aging on his face, but has an indescribable perseverance, which is a unique temperament of an American tough guy, and Gerard still has a beard, which makes Zhou Shaoming can't help but think of Leonida in the movie in his previous life.

Leonidas in the movie is also like this, but Leonidas in the movie is just wearing a red sè robe, but now Gerald is wearing a neat suit.

Although it coincided well with the King Leonidas in his impression, Zhou Shaoming only felt that there seemed to be something missing from Gerald.

Perhaps, what is missing is the precipitation and accumulation of the film career.

The charm of men is indeed getting older and deeper, and Gerald's appearance has not yet reached the unique and full of mature male charm in 2005, which shows that those four years of tempering are really essential for a film actor.

No matter what, the necessary etiquette is also indispensable, thinking about it, Zhou Shaoming smiled and stretched out one of his hands, and said with a smile: "It's an honor to meet you, I'm Zhou Shaoming." ”

Gerald hurriedly stood up, shook Zhou Shaoming's hand and said, "It's my honor to meet the famous father of chainsaws. ”

Feeling the sturdy power coming from Gerald's hand, Zhou Shaoming laughed, and then said, "Mr. Gerald, please take a seat." ”

The two sat down and ordered two more steaks and some snacks, for lunch, Zhou Shaoming is not very picky, although he was used to eating Chinese lunch in his previous life, but it has been more than two years since he crossed over, and it doesn't matter if he is used to eating Western food.

While waiting for dinner, Zhou Shaoming began to talk to Gerald, but most of the discussions were not formal questions, according to Zhou Shaoming's plan, formal questions should not be asked until after lunch, and now take advantage of this time to establish a good relationship with Gerald.

However, because Gerald is not very famous at this time, the other party's attitude has always been cautious, Bi Jing has to face the father of the phenomenal director Chainsaw who is now dying in Hollywood, how many actors Zhou Shaoming has become popular, he knows very well, and Gerald also saw the propaganda parade of the Spartan Three Hundred Warriors on TV, and he also had some impulsive and irrepressible thoughts in his heart.

This morning, he suddenly received a call from Jon, his mood can only be described as flattered, looking at the previous promotional lineup, Gerald has enough reason to believe that the results of this "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" will definitely surpass other movies!

If he can be the leading actor of this movie, he can definitely become an instant hit, which is why Gerald ran to Supernova Pictures as soon as he received Jon's call.

Different from Hollywood female stars, it is difficult for Hollywood male stars to become famous in the early stage, if they are female stars, they may become popular by virtue of their appearance and figure, but male stars are different, few male stars can achieve high achievements when they are young, but many of them have reached middle age, and after enough charm precipitation, they may have a chance to become popular.

And Zhou Shaoming's eyes were like electricity, and he got all the data of Gerard at a glance.

Gerrard? Butler was born on November 13, 1969, is now 32 years old, place of birth, Scottish nationality, British nationality, occupation: actor, appearance, 80 figure, 88 acting, 70 potential, charm 80, wisdom, 80 favorability, 50 comprehensive evaluation: tough appearance, suitable for iron-blooded men, sè, average potential, requires a lot of film shooting experience to grow.

Oh, this is really a bit unfortunate, Gerald needs a lot of acting experience, but the potential is average, his own film company has just been established, Spartan 300 is a work that cannot be failed, and it is not a big problem to hand over to Gerald as the protagonist, but it does not add any points to the success of the film produced by Supernova Pictures.

Therefore, Zhou Shaoming secretly regarded Gerald as an alternative, and did not directly inform him that the interview was unsuccessful or anything else, but just chatted with Gerald with the idea of knowing more friends, rather than a simple interview, just as a casual chat between friends, so the atmosphere on the scene was very relaxed.
