Back at the hotel, Christina shouted over and over again, "Great! Beyond "unbelievable", it seems that there are a lot fewer words.

"We had a beautiful kick-off!" She excitedly shook Lin Xiao's hand and said, "I can't believe that he will give you this role!" It's like a fairy tale! ”

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, "Because I cheated." ”

"Cheating?" Christina looked at him suspiciously for a long time, "No, I really don't see that you are cheating." ”

"Can you still call it cheating?"

"Can cheating be so justified?"

"Of course."

Lin Xiao lay down on the chair, this one, he can win it, but the real workout is after the start of filming!

How painful is this character?

Unlike Nolan's version of Batman 2 Heath Ledger's genius Joker, Heath Ledger almost became a madman after playing the Joker, and the death of this genius is almost equal to that of the Joker. However, Liam Neeson plays Henry. The character of Duka, but it is a physical pain.

Nolan said that hanging on the cliff to shoot and using an airplane to lift Weiya was originally in the script, and Lin Xiao believed that Nolan's crazy character would definitely do it.

He didn't use the revolving room that could be made out of Inception for tens of thousands of dollars, but he built a revolving log house for hundreds of thousands of dollars for Leonardo to run to vomit, and he couldn't do anything for filming.

That's the real test!

He has never filmed an action scene, which is a test of his perseverance, perseverance, and hard-working spirit.

Winning this role is not a victory, the real victory, is after the beginning!

"Although I certainly didn't get much commission for this film, it was already a great start." Christina smiled and said, "Okay, order two meals, I'm hungry, there are more important things to do in the evening." ”

After a hearty dinner, Christina leisurely sipped her Genting coffee, chewing gum as she sipped.

"Don't you think it tastes weird?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Of course not, I have gum addiction and I'll die if I don't chew. Especially when thinking. ”

After a while, at Christina's suggestion, they came to the European-style glass table on the balcony, and she spoke solemnly.

"Tomorrow, there will definitely be a problem with the contract sent by Nolan."

Lin Xiao smiled, "You know too?" ”

"Don't you know that too?" Christina gave him a blank look: "I hate Chinese talking halfway, let me guess the next half, I don't like this solitaire game very much." ”

Lin Xiao hummed noncommittally and made a gesture for her to continue.

"I feel like there's something I have to tell you first." Christina thought for a moment and said, "First of all, there are not many series of movies in the world, almost all of them are from Hollywood. ”

"The short ones are Alien, Jurassic Park, Terminator and other super-grossing films, and the long ones are 007, Warner's proud work Harry Potter...... But, have you ever thought that this can lead to a problem, a very fatal one. ”

She solemnly said, "Take Pirates of the Caribbean as an example, who is the most brilliant?" Apparently Captain Jack Sparrow, but ...... What if he doesn't act in the next film? ”

"Will the audience buy it? Apparently not! She added slyly, "Then the question arises, what if the artist asks for a sky-high price?" ”

Lin Xiao didn't speak, this practice must be directly banned in China, but in the United States, there are obviously different practices.

"You're trying to ban it, right?" Christina giggled, "SORRY, THE WORD AMERICA IS VERY RARE, DON'T LOOK AT THE SIX GIANTS SO BEAUTIFUL, THEY REALLY DON'T DARE TO BAN SLIGHTLY FAMOUS ARTISTS, AT MOST SOME NEWCOMERS ARE UNSPOKEN RULES." ”

"That's because there's something called a union in the middle."

"The trade union, which survives by collecting commissions from artists for each film, will never let go of any artist who is slightly famous. The 118,000 film and television practitioners in the United States, including Spielberg, Cameron and others, attach great importance to the union, it is the umbrella of the artist, and its life is built on the supremacy of credibility......

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, "How powerful is the union...... Let's put it this way, if Warner dares to ban you, just because you are the boss of Dawn, the union will dare to mobilize dozens of lawyer groups and Warner to fight to the end. ”

"At that time, the solidarity of the entertainment industry and the verdict of the law will ensure that Warner wants to cry without tears, and in the United States, they will not do such stupid things. Of course, the premise is that you can create wealth for the union. If you want to be a newcomer, what is the difference between you and the weeds in Washington's garden? ”

Lin Xiao nodded, "So, in order to be afraid that the artist will ask for a price, the company is so angry that he can't make money by staring at the second part, so there must be some measures." ”

He paused, "I'm also curious, what exactly is the measure?" ”

Christina smiled, "That's the point, this method is called 'option' - OPTION!" ”

Lin Xiao listened quietly to these Hollywood rules.

"It's something that hasn't been announced to the public, but it's a household name for big companies." Christina laughed, "Any company, in order to prevent this phenomenon, has set a choice for those who can make money, or have plans to develop the series. ”

"In other words, after you finish filming this film, you must promise the company one." She raised a white jade-like finger, "The above series of movies starred." Of course, you can't go out to see the company, but the company notifies, you have to go! This is usually written into the contract, and Nolan's contract tomorrow will definitely have this thing. Rest assured, Warner is not stupid, and none of the Big Six are fuel-efficient lamps. ”

"Think of Edward. Norton. She smiled lightly, "When Paramount filmed 'First Degree Fear' in '96, the other party was just a nobody, and Paramount needed him to star in another film at the same time, with a salary of only $50,000. As a result, a first-degree fear made him famous, and he wanted to get rid of the contract, and engaged in a fierce lawsuit with Paramount. ”

"Therefore, this contract is also a 'deed of sale,' for artists, signed, Warner will hardly make any other choice, this is a play they want to reshape the brand, even if it is not pleasing to you, it will not be difficult at this moment. Except for the first-line superstars, no one else can avoid this contract. What you have to do now is not to refuse, because your refusal is likely to make this important role change hands again, and if you don't agree to the follow-up shooting, what if Warner wants to use this role again? Can they rest assured? You're Asian, and there's a big difference in skin color...... Oh, I didn't mean to be sarcastic. Are they looking for another white man to play? Batman fans will parade in front of Warner and smash glass. ”

"What you're going to do is how to circulate around this and make the contract a little bit looser. Don't try to challenge this, at least not now. This is the unspoken rule of Hollywood, if you don't agree, you can only leave Hollywood. ”

Lin Xiao thought about it, there is no need for him to challenge this rule, some things are the cornerstone, if you move it, even your relatives and friends will turn against you.

"If I think that after this film, my value will definitely rise, what should I do?"

"It's very simple, I refused to get a visa, but I promised to play two films, and I priced it according to the market at the time. Otherwise, it is to play a film, priced at the current market. In addition, this one must be launched within a year, otherwise the contract will be voided. The United States is a country built on contracts, and no one dares to joke about them, I can guarantee that. The Big Six didn't dare, neither did Wall Street behind Hollywood, and even the Rockefeller family had to weigh it. ”

The answer is imminent.

Lin Xiao smiled, the Batman trilogy, he didn't have to choose at all, but gave himself a glorious future.

By mistake, he sighed and said, "I can do this, I only starred in the Batman series, two." The remuneration is determined according to the current price. ”

“OK。” Christina smiled, "As I thought, if the episode of Batman becomes popular, your worth will definitely rise, and for this important role, the salary increase is like candy at the Christmas gate, there must be." Well, Nolan should go on to direct a sequel, and the odds are very good that you'll be in the show. ”

"The second point." She continued, "That is, I guess Nolan has another clause on his contract. ”

A weird smile appeared on her face, "Let Shuguang participate in the whole promotion, and reject other films at the same time, or lower the promotional style of other films." ”

She leaned back comfortably in her chair "Nolan is not really stupid, this film can be seen from the summoning of Morgan Freeman, Michael Kane, he is determined to win, but this role is given to you a little too quickly." ”

"It is undeniable that your actions have really moved his heart, but he can also choose Shange Winton, Liam Nessen, why did he give it to you on the spot?"

"I can't think of any other reason than the dawn that makes his heart move." She knocked on her golden wavy hair and said, "Maybe Director Ang Lee said the same when he recommended you to him." ”

Lin Xiao nodded, "I participated, so naturally I have to publicize it well, and I will do it if he doesn't say it." ”

“NONONO。” Christina shook her head, "I said, the United States is a contractual country, if you trade privately, I believe that the other five giants may not wait to get you to the antitrust court, and then logically make Sequoia unable to speak, so as to launch a new video website, completely wash away the influence of the dawn." ”

There was contemplation in her eyes, "Nolan's performance that day is not that he doesn't understand the world, he may have figured it out, so he rejected the publicity of Dawn, but after you have excellent acting skills, write down this piece of iron and white in black and white, so that Warner dares to use Dawn justifiably." Otherwise, they will be greeted by a series of lawsuits, which will give them a splitting headache. ”

"Similarly, I'm afraid he chose you when he had this idea, this is his first blockbuster, big investment, all-star lineup, he can't be cautious, Ang Lee recommended you, it's an opportunity, as long as you really act well, the identity of the major shareholder of Dawning is enough to suppress all the criticism of Warner!"

"That's what I just figured out." She sighed, "Nolan seems to be a maverick, but in fact, he has his own choices at every step...... Don't say anything, but when things get to that point, the connection is fully understood...... Also, how can the director of a classic film like Memory Fragment be an idiot. ”
