Ferguson is still very neat, but the news that comes back is not very good.

Hines's script was originally called "Substitute Actor", which tells the story in the New York Grand Theater, but as early as 2000, it was favored by Aronofsky. Portman is related - Arrow wanted to find Natalie to play, but at that time she planned to go to Harvard, and she had no such plan at all, so she politely rejected Arrow, of course, this is a nice statement, and the most likely thing is that the script was passed before Natalie was not in front of him.

So, no matter what one may say, this script is now in Arrow's hands.

Daniel knows that the director of the original movie is none other than Darren. Aronofsky, only this time he has already selected David. Finch, it is impossible for him to direct, as for the producer or any other role, for Fincher such an Oscar-winning director, Arrow really has no ability to restrict, in the "Black Swan" crew, Arrow wants to get a satisfactory influence, it is obviously impossible.

Daniel eventually asked Ferguson to reach out first to see if Arrow was interested in giving away the script.

He himself needs to work with Natalie and David. Finch explained.

"Something went wrong with the script."

Daniel was a little embarrassed when he chatted with Natalie, Natalie was very face-saving, and handed over the script here, and soon she agreed to participate, and the asking price was also very fair - this is a niche literary film after all, even if Daniel's asking price will not be on par with the commercial price, but Natalie gave a fairly affordable figure.

"The adaptation rights to the script have been taken away by another director, so now we have to do some preparation work before we can start the project." Daniel had no intention of trying to explain why his "original script" had a twin brother out there, so he simply avoided the topic, "Don't you have an impression of this script?" His name was Darren. Aronofsky's new director, it seems, wanted you to star in this story for a long time. ”

"Very early?" Natalie really didn't seem to know anything, "I really don't have an impression, how early is it?" I can ask my mom. Many scripts were screened out at her level. ”

"It should have been four years ago, when you were about to go to Harvard or just entered Harvard, and of course, it doesn't matter if you don't remember. We will try to negotiate this issue. ”

……

It's not hard to get in touch with Aronofsky, Hollywood is full of dreamers with unique personalities, but it's probably hard for anyone trying to succeed to turn down a call from someone who has made it to power — the one who has the audience, the capital, the fame. Not to mention. The two are not unconnected.

The movie "The Source of Love" that Arrow is filming was originally his first big production, with an investment of 75 million. Pete and Kate. Blanchett co-starred, which is already a high-profile group among the hundreds of movies that Hollywood counts every year. But unfortunately, for some undisclosed reasons, Brad finally broke the contract and left the crew, whether he paid liquidated damages, Daniel is not clear. But at least on the surface, Arrow didn't speak ill of Brad. Then. Blanchett, the elven queen, had to quit after a long wait due to her pregnancy - and at this point, the original lineup had been completely lost. This forced Arrow to make changes to the script, and Warner's decision to shrink his budget also made him decide to make "The Fountain of Love" a stand-alone film.

In any case, whether it is a mainstream commercial work or an independent film, in the case of the male and female protagonists picking the children one after another, the re-selection of the two leading actors is the most important thing.

Daniel is certainly one of the best people - but not the best fit because he's too expensive. Unless Daniel is willing to reduce his salary, more than half of the budget of 35 million, which is the same as "The Hangover", will be used to pay Daniel for his salary. Even if Arrow is very good at saving money, there is no way to make a decent movie.

Besides. Daniel, who was on a long vacation last year, is unlikely to take on such a work.

So, naturally, "The Fountain of Love" and Daniel passed by, and finally went to Hugh. On Jackman's side, the heroine locks in Rachel. Vichy.

This "fate" is not enough to increase Daniel's confidence, but it is used as a reason to find the door. But it's pretty easy to use.

Daniel had no intention of going out in person.

"The Hangover" is about to be released, and MGM is almost at the time when the truth is out, "Black Swan" is a good project, but it is not worth it for him to do everything himself.

Before Ferguson could find Arrow, he had a confrontation with the original author, Hines. The other party's enthusiastic performance made him sigh a little - if the script was still in Hines's hands, everything would be easy to handle, unlike now, I don't know what the new director thinks, he can hold the script in his hands for five years, just to wait for Natalie, which really shows that this is a stubborn person.

……

The place where the two of them meet is ordinary, an unknown specialty café whose signature product is Vietnamese coffee.

"It's so unpleasant, it's like that skinny Vietnamese proprietress lady, it's uncomfortable." These are the words of Ferguson when describing the scene.

Before meeting, the two had certainly communicated.

As Ferguson expected, Arrow rejected DD Pictures' request to buy the script, and he gave two options: one was DD Pictures' investment, and he came to shoot and had to be Natalie. Portman starring; Another option is to share 10% of the revenue from the script.

"He's just crazy."

Arrow, in Ferguson's shocked eyes, began to explain the justification of the two choices. He has been preparing this script for 5 years, and now DD Pictures wants to invest, and it is most suitable to choose him to direct, although he is still far from some big directors, but as the owner of the script, he should be given this opportunity, he has twelve points of confidence in himself, in fact, although he does not have many works, but the response is quite good, and his directing ability should not be doubted. And if DD Pictures really can't accept him as a director, it should give him considerable rights and interests as compensation.

"Ten percent isn't much, is it? I only take 1 million when you make 10 million, and I don't think Daniel should be so stingy. This script is now in my hands, and if I don't agree, you won't make a penny, will you? ”

Ferguson could hardly muster an interest in talking to him.

This man has a disgusting face, and he is ridiculously greedy.

"Unless you're really going to give him ten percent, I don't think there's any point in looking for him again." (To be continued.) )
