"Nice to meet you, Frank." Kusa got up and hugged Frank, and they met a few times, more by phone and email.

Frank's role on "Spy" was somewhat peculiar, and he joined the film as a low-ranking producer, more because of a personal friendship with Stacy Schneider, the female president of Universal Pictures, who became one of Hollywood's seven presidents last year. Frank and Spielberg have a close relationship, and Stasi and Steven are also inextricably linked, before Stassy became president of Universal, she collaborated with Steven on some blockbuster commercial blockbusters, and the good cooperation experience made the two close friends.

Flack is not a small person, last year's second-place box office in the United States "The Sixth Sense", he served as the first producer, with 290 million in the United States and 670 million in the world. Therefore, it is conceivable how hot he is now, and it is not surprising that Stasi asked him to check the film.

Because of this, he became a key figure.

However, the situation is not optimistic for Daniel, Flack and Stacy friendship came from Steven Spielberg, and Matt Damon's last blockbuster film, "Saving Private Ryan", was directed by Steven. Although this does not mean that Steven will lobby for Matt Damon, just as Daniel can't ask Ridley Scott to help him talk to Universal, and even he himself is not without anything to do with Steven, although he has more communication with Universal Pictures, but the producer of "Gladiator" is Steven's dream factory.

These twists and turns can negate some of the advantages, and they can also create some advantages, but in terms of personal relationships, Steven is definitely on Matt Damon's side.

However, in the current situation, Flac's opinion is more important than Steven, after all, he is the one who is directly responsible for the film.

Cusa's purpose in interviewing Frank at this time is clear.

"Frank, let's go straight to the Yellow Dragon," Kusa translated the Chinese idiom literally, and Frank was really confused.

"Daniel likes to use Chinese idioms, and I'm all spoiled by him."

Vlack smiled, "I've been to China, is Daniel familiar with China?" ”

"Yes, yes, you don't know why, he's just a China expert, if you have any scripts about China in the future, you can find him, I guarantee he's like an authentic Chinese young man." Kusa said with an exaggerated expression, "Oh, I remember, it's 'Empire of the Sun', isn't it?" You've been talking to Steven for a while. ”

"Yes, it's been more than ten years, and it's really difficult to shoot in China, we are filming in SH, but we have to run all the way to BJ because we have to get permission to shoot. Oh, and to be honest, I kind of miss it. ”

"It must have been an unforgettable experience."

Kusa ended the unexpected topic and returned to the text, "Flac, Daniel is higher than Matt in terms of role matching, and his publicity value is stronger than Matt, I can't think of any reason why you don't choose him, and even, he is cheaper than Matt, Matt's asking price will not be less than 10 million." ”

The price of commercial films and literary films is absolutely different, and the salary prepared by the crew of "Spy Shadow" for the actor will definitely not be less than 10 million, because whether it is Brad Pitt, Russell Crowe, or even Stallone they were looking for at the beginning, the price is between 10 million and 20 million, and Matt cannot be less than 10 million even if he is a little less qualified. From this point on, Johnny Depp's actual commercial value is not as good as Matt Damon's - people now call him Hollywood's golden boy.

And the price offered by Kusa is five million, and he even reserves a million bargaining space, and when it comes to four million, he will say OK.

Six million before and after, for "Spy Shadows" with a budget of 60 million, it is not a large number, but it is not a small number.

"I especially sincerely hope that you will seriously consider Daniel."

Frank took his coffee, took a sip, paused, and took another sip, "Cusa, we can feel your eagerness and seriousness for this role. In fact, it's incredible that no final person has been decided yet, the film is still seven months away, and we've reached so many people that everyone is exhausted by the role. ”

"But for the sake of the movie, a qiē will be worth it."

"Yes, that's right. The people who decided on this choice now, in addition to the director, producer, screenwriter and Universal, also mixed in a lot of other opinions, which really baffled us. I can honestly tell you that Matt still has an advantage, but Daniel has come into our sights and is being the object of serious consideration. But there's one disadvantage you can't avoid, and so far, Daniel hasn't proven his box office prowess - even if we admit that the 87 million box office of "School Blues" has made a significant contribution, that doesn't prove it in Hollywood statistics. "Gladiator" will be released in August, but we can't wait until that time to determine the starring role, whether it's Daniel or Matt, neither of them can leave a big blank time for the unknown of "Spy". ”

"Everyone has a first time, everyone has to have a chance to prove themselves, when "Gladiator" gave Daniel a chance, he didn't feel that he lacked box office proof, and I think "Spy" should also have such confidence."

"Commodius isn't the main character, Gladiator has Russell Crowe, you can't deny that, can you?"

Cusa knew he was quibbling, and "Gladiator" could hardly be a testament to Daniel in the strict sense of the word, but as the main character, it was okay to be able to share some of the brilliance from the film's results.

"I understand, I understand that. Well, Frank, I hope your final considerations will be satisfactory, that's all. ”

"We'll be cautious. No one wants a perfect "Spy" more than we do, and Daniel is very good and very lucky, and your dedication to "Spy" makes me feel strange, he will not lack opportunities, and there is nothing to slow down. ”

"All I can say about 'Spy' is that Daniel will make it perfect. And for the rest, Frank, if we had just finished filming "School Blues" and we thought so, there would have been no "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" or "Gladiator", and you wouldn't even be interested in meeting me today. ”

Frank was silent for a moment, took a breath and nodded, "Exactly, young man, you are respectable. ”

Kusa watched Frank get into his Chevrolet, it was still cold in the United States, Kusa stomped his foot, looked at his watch, and decided to sit here a little longer, and then go straight to the appointment, yes, except for Frank, he also made an appointment today.

Someone who could be more important.
