Chapter 114: The poorest cub in the family, the wonder in Lao Si's eyes

Half an hour later, inside the studio office of Samsung Pictures.

Producer, director and screenwriter of the "Seattle" project, Nora Epron, crossed her fingers and looked at Roland with a smile, "Ashley and Mary are both quite suitable, you can let whoever you want to shoot, our estimated start time is around July 10th, you just need to tell us who to send into the group a day or two in advance, I think, this shouldn't be difficult, right?" ”

Nora Ephron is actually not a well-known director by the public, although she has the title of a master of romance films and is quite famous in the circle, but the problem is that the theme of romance films, Wang has always been an actor, just like when people mention "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", the first picture that comes to mind is definitely the famous scene of Monica Bellucci being courteous when she smokes.

As for the director? The guy who can ignore Monica and call out the director's name directly, that's all wolf destruction.

Because of this, Epron's current public popularity can't be compared with the Olsen sisters, let alone sitting at the same table with Roland to play games, but it really allows her to ignore the contract rules in the circle and give the basis for informing the crew of the favorable conditions two days before the start of the film, in fact, it is because Mike Madavoy, the head of Samsung Pictures, as Spielberg's former agent, of course they know that what Roland needs now is actually time.

"Oh, thank you so much." Roland smiled and nodded, not because the other party's reputation was not as good as his own, and he felt that it was a matter of course for the other party to communicate with him on an equal footing.

What's more, in his previous life, he watched the other party's last work before his death, and he was deeply impressed by 'I love the kitchen, my husband loves me' starring Aunt May and Amy Adams.

"If nothing else, I'll meet with Steven in the next few days, and then I'll be able to determine who will play "Jurassic", and once there is news, it will be determined here, and it will definitely not delay your time."

"That's for the best." Ephron smiled, although she was very envious of Roland's resources, but there were some things that she couldn't be jealous of, "Then let's talk about the salary, although they are really popular and are the second child stars in North America after you, but Ashley and Mary have no film experience after all, so they ......"

When Ephron dragged out the end of the so note and refused to continue the words, Roland understood that the other party wanted to lower the price.

"Of course we understand this, in fact, to be able to join this project, it all depends on your support, we have never thought about how much we want to get paid, so let's do it, the weekly salary is two thousand, and the rest is calculated according to the bonus, the box office is 100 million, the bonus is 1 million, and the cap is 500 million, this price is very fair, right? It won't squeeze your production costs at all. ”

Epron's eyes lit up, and he nodded very happily, "Of course, it's very fair." ”

In fact, according to normal rules, the Olsen sisters' salary should not have been negotiated by Roland.

But the problem is, special projects, special treatment!

In the case that the investors, down to the screenwriters and actors, have no objection to the transformation of the script role, and cooperate efficiently, let the agent negotiate the money, it may really damage the relationship between the two parties.

The price code for a custom character is never the same as the price code for a normal offer.

Just like Sister Ning said: I am a bystander, I can say generously, I will not be willing to pick the image, but if the management hits me with 300 million, I will say, okay, just pick it.

Customizing the character and the keying that Sister Ning said is actually the same truth.

If you want this project, the management says okay, change it for you, in this kind of situation where the management takes the lead in making concessions, you actors can't call the market price! In this case, taking a guarantee, and distributing bonuses based on the box office value is the most common means.

And in Hollywood, the most typical is actually Tom Hanks.

When the Jewish Gang bought "Forrest Gump", Hanks took 10 million out of 55 million, but when he ran out of money halfway through the auction, he converted 10 million into 10 percent of the proceeds, and finally took nearly 70 million to go home.

Such a confident move, can the management not love it?

And it is this kind of behavior that has made him rated as the most beautiful person in Hollywood many times, not only the audience likes him, but the capital also likes him, because he is interested, he will not shout and ask for money from the management like Depp and Ah Tang.

What's more, the Olsen sisters are actually not bad for money now.

The dollars earned by the two of them are actually far more than Roland's salary.

Yes, in the case of the "Home Alone" series taking 13.8 million and "Terminator 2" taking 2.48 million, the money earned by Roland has not reached more than half of what the two little Loli sucked up, although the money has always been kept by the Olsons, but the ownership is theirs after all - hiss, no!

Thinking of this, Roland suddenly felt that there was something wrong.

The Olsen sisters have always earned more than him???

(`11д11′)

Not only that, on weekdays, what little skirts, small toys, small figures, and snacks do these dolls want, he is paying for them???

( ̄口 ̄)!!

Hold the grass!

No wonder David kept telling him to keep his money away!

That's the case!

After a long time, no matter how much he earned, he was still the poorest cub in the family???

╭(°A°`)╮

It's-

It's just-

Roland's lips trembled, and he choked speechlessly—

However, when he said goodbye to Ephron with such doubts and extreme imbalance in his heart, and found Aunt Garneti and wanted to go home with them, he dragged the two little loli on his arms left and right, and the depression in his heart caused by 'I am the poorest, and I still spend the most', is dissipated.

"Brother Roland......"

Ashley knelt in the back seat of the car, looking at Roland with watery Carslan eyes.

"Am I going to part with Mary?"

"Huh? Why? The sudden words made Roland a little puzzled.

And just as he turned his head to investigate, Mary on the right also spoke.

"Ashley and I, haven't we seen each other in a long time?"

What?

What's going on!

At this moment, Roland, like a monk in the second zhang, was confused, he couldn't understand how the two little loli, who were very cooperative during the previous audition, suddenly asked him this question after the matter was finalized.

Apart?

Why did the two of them separate?

Just when he was confused, looking left and right, trying to find some clues from those two identical faces, Garneti, who was sitting in the second seat with Elizabeth in his arms, turned his head and said: "The two of them think that "Seattle" and "Jurassic" will separate them, because they have never been separated before......"

So that's the case?

As soon as Garnetty said this, Roland immediately understood, the two little Loli were a little scared now, because the next shooting mode was something they had never been exposed to: from 1987 to now 1992, the Olsen sisters have filmed 144 episodes of TV series, and the camera is not unfamiliar to them, even more familiar than their families, but all along, the shooting mode they follow is that you play a section, I play a section, sometimes, there are more than ten or twenty scenes in a TV series, Maybe the sisters are shooting separately, you eight and I ten, this week's work is completed.

No way, that's the advantage of twins!

In this case, they have never played a complete role, and now, Roland wants to split them into two groups, and the problem arises.

Although they understand that this is an opportunity that countless peers can't find a way out, but—

To be honest, when they were playing against Hanks just now, they were really crying.

Because they're afraid of themselves, they've messed things up.

"Brother Roland, I don't know if I can act well." Ashley said very bluntly.

"We used to act, and we all acted one by one." Mary continued with her sister's words.

Looking at the two guys who came to his side and whispered in an uneasy voice, Roland shook his head with a smile, pinched their bun faces left and right, and said, "What are you two thinking?" ”

"The director said you can do it, you can do it."

"What's more, in the vast majority of cases, children don't need much acting skills."

"If the child is not cute or cute, then there is no bonus effect on the movie."

"The appearance advantage of the two of you is too great, as long as you show a normal level, the audience who walks into the theater and sees you will be happy, and as long as you sell cute, they will be even happier."

"Of course, I understand your concerns......

"Don't worry, no matter who shoots which movie, you don't have to be afraid."

"On the side of Seattle, your rivalry scenes are all done with Tom, and he knows how to guide you to find your feelings, and on the Jurassic side, no one is better at filming children than Steven......"

In Roland's view, the Olsen sisters' worries are actually a bit unnecessary.

Because a real director never reads a script to a child under the age of ten.

Tell a guy who is not sound in his cognition about acting?

Isn't that a bubble in the brain?

When filming children's scenes, the director only needs to perform the picture he wants in front of the children and let them imitate it, just like Xu Lao Monster shows the angel baby how to act in the bed scene, this is the best way for the child to quickly understand, if you use words to describe a picture you want to the child, then it's over-

Maybe you shoot for a day and you won't be able to get over a single one.

No way, even if the child's cognitive reserve is very rich, it is also rich in directors who have been in the society for so many years! In this case, the Olsen sisters don't have to worry about not being able to act at all, because their worries are a common phenomenon in the circle, the producer will not be entangled, the director will not be entangled, and the actors who play against them will not be entangled.

A guy like the King of Sunglasses who doesn't know what he wants to shoot can't get along in Hollywood at all, and he can make that wonderful flower that blooms in the underworld struck more than 60 matches in a row when making a movie without being killed, that is also a talent.

However, while comforting the two little loli, Roland felt that it was no accident that these two dolls were successful in their previous lives.

Because they are self-aware.

They knew that they didn't have much acting talent, so when the public couldn't accept that they had grown up, they retreated bravely, went directly to school, and then changed careers.

Just this kind of courage to say and break off, no number of people can catch up.

You must know that "Full House of Youth" is in America, and "Friends" can stabilize the pressure, if you have to benchmark, it is equivalent to "Family with Children" and "Wulin Gaiden"......

Of course, it's actually a good thing to be strong.

After calming Loli and returning home, Roland also called Hanks.

In his words, that is, "The two little loli like you a lot, but they are afraid that they will not play well and drag you down." ”

And after hearing his words, Hanks, who thought something was wrong, laughed directly: "It's okay, I'll teach them, don't worry, this kind of scene is very simple, they have six years of shooting experience, and they can definitely shoot it." ”

Such an affirmative reply also made Roland enjoy the charm of the relationship again.

How many times has he and Hanks met?

It's like a brother.

You must know that the contact information between various projects in Hollywood is often communicated through agents.

If you're not in a circle and want to discuss the details of a public project on a private phone?

Dream on.

People don't bother to pay attention to you at all.

And after easily finalizing the project of "Seattle", Roland was not idle, and ran directly to the Universal studio next door, and slowly pushed open the door of Spielberg's office.

Yes, Spielberg has his own independent office in Universal, which is even larger than the territory of the president of Universal, or in other words, even if Universal has changed several owners, his position is unshakable, he can influence Universal's funds, he can influence Universal's projects, and even kick out the guys he doesn't like.

You must know that in Universal Studios under the name of Universal, his movie park is also the largest.

Even if he expands, his park can be prioritized before other areas.

And when Roland was holding a big bag and a small bag, and the thief was lying at the door and looking carefully, the guy who was leaning on the office chair and had already discovered Roland's whereabouts snorted and said, "Come in and come in, what are you hiding?" ”

"You just got into the world when I got a call."

The words of the Earth Emperor made Roland laugh, and he carefully closed the door as he entered the office.

Seeing that Spielberg was straight, he clasped his hands and stared at Roland, he also raised his chin and snorted a few times towards the chair in front of his desk.

"Sit."

"If you don't come to me, I'm going to look for you."

"We ...... Haven't seen you in half a year? ”

"Do you have anything you'd like to talk to me?"

What do you want to say?

Roland nodded, "Jurassic Park? ”

"I don't think I want to hear that." Spielberg smiled and shook his head.

"What ...... 'Sleepless in Seattle'?" Roland rolled his eyes.

"I know about you asking them to change their books." Spielberg's head was slightly raised.

"Ah......" Roland grimaced.

Seeing that Roland couldn't get to the point for a long time, the guy who was leaning on the boss's chair directly turned around, rested his right elbow on the armrest, supported his cheek with one hand, and put down his glasses with his left hand, and said, "Since you can't think of it, then I'll remind you......"

"What's going on over there in New York? Are you in love? ”

Hearing what the other party said, Roland instantly smiled bitterly.

Before he came, he had actually thought that the other party would ask about Ivanka.

But he didn't expect this guy to ask straight to the point.
