Chapter 145: Singing Red and Singing Decline

"Hello, Clark, sit down."

Pointing to the chair in the tent, waiting for Captain Clark from the Marine Corps? As Lewis sat down, Duke's eyes turned back to the dozen or so actors sitting in front of him, who would play the role of the heaviest military on both sides of "Saving Private Ryan."

Eyes swept over these people one by one, except for Tom, who played Captain Miller? Except for Hanks, the other actors are completely different from those in the impression, not counting Leonardo? DiCaprio's words, none of these people once famous.

However, Duke doesn't care, these actors can stand out from two rounds of auditions, which is enough to prove that they have the most basic qualities, and what is missing is the most important opportunity, maybe this movie can change the fate of some of them.

With Tom? Hanks's negotiations were able to reach an agreement so quickly, and it was somewhat unexpected by Duke, Charles? Rowan and Robin? Grande and Yi|You|You|Small|Talk|More|New|Most|Fast|www.uuxs.cc|No? Martin's early contact was extremely unsmooth, and the other party wanted to set a base salary of $20 million. Hanks, who even thought of a substitute - starred in the Oscars? Schindler's Liam? Nissen.

I don't know how the news got to Ino? In Martin's ears, the veteran agent was obviously a smart man, probably guessing the reason why Duke wanted to give up, and asked Tom? After Hanks's opinion, the salary was changed to a 1+2 model.

The reduction of the base salary by half is already within Duke's expectations, and he naturally has no reason to object. was stuck with the producer, and several parties made certain compromises in just a few days of tug-of-war negotiations. Tom? Hanks' salary was finally set at $12 million plus 15 percent of the film's revenue share.

Any actor or director, after having enough capital, will do his best to fight for his own interests within the scope of reasonableness and law, Tom? Hanks' ability to sign this contract has nothing to do with the fact that the director is Duke, after all, his previous films have brought huge benefits. Increasing the share is not a good thing.

Remove Tom? Hanks, and the other actors' personal salaries were all compressed to within $1 million.

"From today. You must do your best to become a well-trained soldier. ”

Duke made this point when he called the meeting, and he introduced, "This is Clark from the Marine Corps? Captain Lewis. You will be trained in the military for the next 20 days, during which you will forget about your role as an actor and learn military knowledge by the names of your respective roles. ”

The actors looked at each other and saw Tom, the biggest name? Hanks didn't object, and they all nodded seriously.

Duke continued, "You'll learn how to use World War II weapons, simple melee and individual tactics, and the code and sign language signals of the World War II army. ”

Military training is not just talking, the next twenty days, including Tom? Hanks included. Not only did they have to live in tents temporarily, but they also had to march quickly every day, and the basic food for each meal was mainly canned military food.

I want to shoot a classic war film with a distinct documentary style. Instead of a pure popcorn movie, from the director to the actors to every member of the crew, it takes a lot of effort, and you don't have to think about it if you want to complete it relatively easily when filming "Independence Day".

When the meeting ended, the actor walked out. Duke shouted at Leonardo? DiCaprio pointed to his long blond-brown hair. "Leo, cut it out!"

The current Duke is far from facing Keanu at the beginning? Reeves's Duke, Leonardo, who was also young and vigorous, quickly nodded, "I promise, before the start of military training tomorrow, it will definitely be cut." ”

When he turned around and walked out, he muttered, "I heard that there is a French beauty from the crew next to me, and I want to ask her out......"

After Leonardo left, only Duke and Tom were left in the tent? Hanks, the two said hello briefly, and at the same time got out of the tent and walked towards an old-fashioned jeep, where the press officer and videographer of the crew had been waiting for a long time.

Yes, Duke came over with Tom? Hanks took a group photo, which was not for commemoration, but to cooperate with the early promotion of the film.

While Duke is busy, the pre-promotion of "Saving Private Ryan" is also being carried out in an orderly manner, especially the film is invested by Warner Bros., Twentieth Century Fox and Walt Disney.

"Saving Private Ryan, Duke? Rosenberg's war masterpiece, the most realistic Normandy landing ...... in history"

"After blowing up North America, the explosion madman Duke? Rosenberg's eyes turn to Europe! ”

The media under the three parties have built up momentum for the film, especially after the photo of Duke and Hanks appeared in the newspaper, and they increased their publicity efforts.

"Oscar-winning Tom? Hanks joined, with Duke? Rosenberg teamed up to create an epic war masterpiece. ”

"Duke? Rosenberg called Tom? Hanks is the actor he admires and admires the most, and "Saving Private Ryan" will be an epic collaboration. ”

"Tom? In an interview, Hanks said that he was Duke? A loyal fan of Rosenberg, who has always wanted to work with him on an adrenaline-pumping movie, "Saving Private Ryan" fulfilled his dream. ”

If you follow the propagandized news reports, Duke and Tom? Hanks is definitely a confidant in life, of course, this is just a propaganda need, the relationship between the two is not bad, nor is it very good, it is just a simple cooperation.

After "Independence Day", like Steven? Spielberg, Duke gradually launched his own directing brand, and there are a large number of people who like his films, although the specific content of the film is not reported, but the name "Saving Private Ryan" still left a certain impression on the potential audience, especially when promoting, the producer and distributor obviously used their brains, automatically ignored the rescue, and shouted that this is a hot and exciting war movie!

"Looking at the whole of Hollywood, can any director dare to say that he can shoot an explosion scene more than Duke?"

On the Internet, which is gradually emerging, the comments on a website about movies can be said to be the general recognition of Duke by movie fans, and continuing to use the explosion as a promotional point in the early stage will naturally bring greater impact.

What's more, there is another hot spot in the publicity, Tom? Hanks's box office appeal is now another Tom.

Someone sings red, naturally someone sings down, Duke has risen rapidly in recent years, and while gaining benefits, he must have damaged the interests of many people, and those who have been damaged by him will certainly not watch Duke's continued success.

Especially for the group of professional film critics, if there is a movie that can inspire this group to hate the same enemy, it must be "Independence Day" and Duke.

From the Independence Day holiday to the present, how fiercely critics have attacked Duke and "Independence Day", how brutal the film has been at the global box office, they have used almost all the derogatory words, and even launched personal attacks, but they have not stopped Duke from moving forward, watching him break one North American box office record after another, standing in the ranks of the top commercial directors, and exposing the fact that they are unable to intervene in the summer market in an extremely mocking way!

How many people around the world like Duke's movies, how much professional film critics hate Duke, and to this day, even if they lose the battle against Duke, even if Duke is too lazy to deal with them, when film critics mention "Independence Day", they will grit their teeth and shout that this is a bad movie that can't be worse.

After all, there is not only a battle of will between the two sides, but also a battle of interests.

Professional film critics in North America have been waiting for the moment to fight back, and the pre-publicity for "Saving Private Ryan" has just been launched, and film critics have sung the film down in their columns.

"Duke? It wasn't enough for Rosenberg to plague North America, and he went to ravage Europe, and he filmed subjects related to the Normandy landings? It was a catastrophe bigger than Nazi Germany's breach of the Maginot Line, and we can fully imagine that when the Allied landing was blocked, spaceships suddenly fell from the sky and attacked the German coastal fortifications, and the entire Normandy beach was reduced to ruins in the shocking explosion! ”

Not only Duke, but Tom, who worked with Duke? Hanks was affected.

"As you can see from the past few works, Duke? Rosenberg has a special ability to bring actors with excellent acting skills down to the same level as him. Hanks will be the most pitiful actor, Hanks fans, think Duke? Rosenberg's usual methods! ”

"Maybe you'll see a crooked steel helmet and a cigar in his mouth in the film, an atypical hanging Tom? Hanks, maybe you'll see him alone on the beach in a landing craft, driving a Sherman tank into Berlin in flying cars and explosions, and then tying Hitler to the Reichstag and sending him to hell with the most violent explosions! ”

"God, this is an absolutely unimaginable disaster!"

Zach sitting across from Duke? Schneider put down the newspaper and looked at him sympathetically, Duke ignored his gaze and just slowly sipped a glass of wine.

It's a bar in Dublin, right next to their hotel, it's a pretty high-end type, it's relatively quiet, and when he gets back to the hotel from the set, sometimes Duke and a few members of the team come over to sit and relax.

"What are you looking at, Duke?"

Zack? Schneider had already noticed that every now and then Duke's gaze would turn diagonally to a corner diagonally opposite, and he turned his head to see that there was a woman, a very beautiful woman who was very famous in Europe. (To be continued)
