() Roland's eyelids jumped when he heard the crisp answer, where did he not know that he had been trapped?

In fact, the lower the production cost of a movie, if you want to sell well, the publicity and distribution costs related to it will definitely increase geometrically, just like "The Return of the Clown", which won a box office of 700 million, the cost of 35 million is just a small head, and the publicity and distribution cost of 1.5 billion is the root of the real big hit, and in this way, the box office of 700 million does not make much money at all.

The same is true of the Star Wars Universe and the Marvel Cinematic Universe produced by Disney, this kind of IP movie is simply a dream if it wants to make a lot of money at the box office, and it is clearly written in "A Movie Dream in Ten Years" written by Ang Lee, the announcement of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been pushed forward from the day of winning the award, and the Sony classic has been done for at least one year, and the box office of more than 100 million yuan has been sold little by little.

But unlike these movies, "The Shawshank Redemption" at this moment is a hot potato!

As a movie with a plot that highly overlaps with Simpson's wife murder case, no film company dares to release it in a big way!

Because in this kind of thing, it doesn't matter which side you are on, it's all wrong!

If it is released in a big way, it will inevitably be regarded as the voice of justice by those blacks, and when the time comes, they will march and argue more vigorously, and that kind of mess is not something that a film company can clean up, and at the same time, the film company will offend the white people who support the trial of Simpson; And if it is not released in a big way...... Isn't that just waiting for a loss?

Since both ends are not pleased, then this kind of unprofitable thing is still a fart!

In fact, after the outbreak of Simpson's murder of his wife, Sony has already discovered that the release project in its hands is a piece of, but unfortunately the contract has been signed and the project has been established, and in this case, if they do not announce it, it is a breach of contract.

Or, Castle Stone Pictures is waiting for Sony to breach the contract, and then make a lot of ill-gotten gains to make up for the loss!

No way, who made Sony the Kaizi in the eyes of the whole Hollywood?

Under the calculation of Castle Stone Pictures, the box office of the whole movie is now at most 30 million, even if Sony does not take a cut, the money they can get from Castle Stone Pictures will be 15 million, if the transaction is taxed, the box office can return a few million, and compared with the production cost of 25 million, it is a big loss!

As for thinking about selling discs to return blood?

I'm a dear mother!

Before the dust settles on Simpson's wife's murder, they don't dare to make a big splash on the disc market!

This kind of thing that puts pressure on the judiciary, even if you want to do it, you can't do it on the surface!

Isn't this a clear way to set yourself up as a target for others to beat?

Traffic control, the matter of being secretly picked up by Lao Tzu, just put it in your heart!

If you have to be arrogant and arrogant, won't that hurt your Lao Tzu to lose Jingzhou?

So, finding a fool to take over is obviously what Castle Stone Pictures and Sony want to see the most, and now-

"Aren't you the fool they think you are?" When Roland carried the list of directories handed to him by Mike Medavoy and went around to find the truck driver in his office, he learned that Roland wanted to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy an old man in a movie similar to the story of Simpson's murder of his wife, but the protagonist was wronged, and immediately looked at Roland with caring eyes.

"Do you have too much money to spend?"

"Then invest in me to build a submarine!"

The old man didn't care about the list in his hand at all, let alone that he came over today to check the resume of the heroine screened by Sony, and he knocked on the table when he felt that he had found a big Kaizi, and said, "Do you want to spend fifteen million to buy a movie that has a high probability of being smashed into your hand?" Aren't you crazy? ”

"Do you think that after the dust settles on the Simpson murder case, this movie will be released in a big way and recoup funds from the disc market?"

"Are you dreaming?"

"I'll just tell you, if Simpson ends up guilty of betrayal, you can't even do it!"

"The blacks who support him will think that this movie is revenge for Simpson!"

"There is no large-scale release in theaters, and it can only be sold secretly in the disc market, which is the best proof!"

"Because they've been oppressed by white people!"

Hearing the truck driver say this, Roland, who was still wondering how Mike Madavoy dared to answer so definitely for Castle Stone Pictures, suddenly understood - in a preconceived situation, Roland knew that "The Shawshank Redemption" sold very well in the disc market, but the guys at Castle Stone Pictures didn't know it!

Just like the fear that the large-scale release of the movie will cause a black riot, if Simpson is really found guilty, in the eyes of those black people, isn't "The Shawshank Redemption" a true portrayal of Simpson?

As long as one human rights activist finds out about the film, it will be ......

Stephen King, who wrote this book back then, will be involved!

It can be predicted with the bottom of your feet, and after that, it will definitely be a batch of protests and redress movements!

Andy can dig tunnels for more than ten years, and they can also help Simpson avenge them for more than ten years!

As for why "The Shawshank Redemption" was written before the Simpson murder case, it was purely a coincidence?

Who wants to listen to these words when things get up?

Maybe they'll also think Stephen King was prescient! He had long seen the decay of America!

However, Roland, who understands the reason, is not worried about these things.

The reason why he felt that he might be cheated was purely because he was worried that Castle Stone Pictures would make a fuss about the transaction contract, but now, if the future of the box office and disc market is uncertain, and someone is willing to pay fifteen million to buy a high-probability garbage home, so he will readily agree, then he has nothing to worry about.

Because he knew that Simpson would be acquitted!

Or, even if his wings are hard, he can't make a fuss about something like a big will like the racial issue!

Of course, the reason why Roland wants to buy it is simply to pick up a leak and expand his poor film library!

This is the best film history voted by fans one vote, and it is a row in their own film library!

As for making money pointing to "The Shawshank Redemption"?

No kidding!

No one can become the richest man from movies!

With this in mind, it is better to throw money into the stock market again!

So, knowing that he would most likely not be pitted, Roland rolled his eyes, and angrily pushed the truck driver off the boss chair that Sony had prepared for him, "You give me a side ......"

"Even if I can't sell a movie when I buy it, I can watch it slowly at home."

"If I invest in you to build a submarine, I can't drive it!"

"Who's to say no?" Although he gave up his position, the truck driver moved his ass and sat down on the table again, "I'll teach you!" ”

"It's easy to drive a submarine, and it's cheap to build a submarine!"

How could Roland not know that the old man said that he wanted to build a submarine to make a single submersible to dive to the Mariana Trench?

Even if Roland didn't know about such a thing, after hearing the old man's idea of fooling and cheating on investment, he was not interested in the budget quoted by this guy - nonsense, tripling the budget is his real goal, who would dare to invest in this kind of project?

Although I thought so, I didn't say so, ""The Lion King" can't be screened on a large scale, so I can only wait for Disney to slowly collect the funds, because I got a share, and now I can only wait until the final settlement, and "Forrest Gump" is a hit, but I didn't take a penny, the last time I had an income was in "Jurassic Park", but the problem is that I have to spend fifteen million to buy the project, leaving more than 30 million for David Fincher, so don't look for me, okay?" I don't have any money......"

It's not that Roland sells badly, but now he is really so miserable.

According to his previous thoughts, "The Lion King" was released, setting off a movie-watching boom, he stepped onto the altar, and was crowned king like Simba, and then "Forrest Gump" continued to be released, which was regarded as a classic by the American audience, and he also took the opportunity to participate in the publicity, tell the story behind the creation of the movie, and by the way, on the talk show arranged by the organizer, he made a cameo appearance as a prophet, saying how optimistic he is about the Internet, just like Gan in the movie invested in Apple, and wanted to devote himself to it with his own net worth. In the end, in front of the Chinese people, he said that he would set up an investment company in Silicon Valley to invest in Internet companies, and then he could wait for a group of guys who regarded themselves as Kaizi to come to raise funds and pick and choose them......

But now?

Plans can't keep up with the changes!

The reason why he dared to go out to play calmly before was because he felt that his arrangement was seamless.

But who knew that Simpson's murder of his wife was far more exaggerated than he imagined!

This is really more fantasy than reality!

In his previous life, he didn't feel how influential this American-most concerned suspected crime was now, but now, when his ass was kicked by someone else, he realized how much it hurt!

Roland Allen wants to invest in the Internet?

Who cares about him!

It's time of war!

But fortunately, even if the sudden explosion of "The Lion King" is gone, it is actually okay to change the best in film history; And the investment can only be to ask David to go to Silicon Valley to establish an office, although there is no advertisement for the United States live broadcast, but it is no problem to take the initiative.

Of course, the accident that he didn't care about this time also made Roland understand that the name is all false.

The size of the news you can make is the key to grabbing the headlines!

If not, why does the media always want to make a big news?

But even if Roland described his 'miserable' current situation, the truck driver didn't take it to heart, "No hurry, no hurry, I don't want to build a submarine now, wait for the project department in hand to finish it, and then go......"

"I'll give you the project plan when the time comes......"

"Let's get down to business."

'Gotcha! This old guy is on his own! ’

Roland shook his head helplessly, and he was too lazy to be verbose, so he directly picked up the document that he had thrown on the table before.

In fact, after returning from Skywalker Manor, everything unfolded in an orderly manner, and regarding the audition of the heroine, Catherine Kennedy and James Cameron did not mean to finish the operation.

First, compared with the established studios, they do not have a suitable venue to receive candidates batch after batch; Second, they don't need to do this kind of trivial matter in the early screening; Three, Sony's got to do something, right?

Although Sony only has the right to invest, the entire film industry system is complete, so using their resources can not only save production costs, but also make these guys more involved.

After all, people invest to make money, if they are waiting for the results there, no matter how you look at it, there is something wrong with it, and letting the production director they send to deal with all kinds of trivial things is also a sign that they can rest assured, at least they understand that this group of people asked for their own money and did not fool themselves, not to deceive them as Kaizi.

Well, in the eyes of people in the industry, Sony, who is in a hurry to send money to Roland, is indeed Kaizi......

But as long as they think that Roland doesn't treat them as Kaizi, that's enough!

Because of this, they gained a sense of participation, but they carefully selected a suitable list from more than 2,000 personnel information in the country according to the conditions, and at the first glance after opening the cover, Roland saw a blonde girl with a ball head.

"Catherine Heigl?"

At first glance, Roland didn't have any impression of this name, and continued to glance at the photo of the other party in a ballet costume, the white back - phew! Isn't this Isabel from Grey's Anatomy?

How was this guy found by Sony?

Roland, who felt strange, looked down, and when he saw the "Love Saint Bodyguard" in the work column......

His mind is full of bikini......

Don't ask him why he thinks this way, and he is interested in watching the movie himself.

"This girl looks pretty good." Cameron commented: "And it's two years older than you. ”

"Hmm." Roland didn't give an opinion, and went straight to the second page.

What catches your eye is a relatively round face.

Swept the name - Drew Barrymore.

When he saw her, Roland directly skipped her profile and turned to the third page.

For no other reason, because this guy is Steven Spielberg's goddaughter, like Gwyneth Paltrow, she was born into a family of acting, and at the age of six, she starred in the old man's "Aliens. 》。

Later, she participated in the "Breaking Baby" series and "50 First Loves".

However, this guy is an alcoholic, and he has been in and out of the drug rehabilitation center many times when he was a teenager, if he was really a talent, the old man would have recommended it to Roland a long time ago, instead of appearing in the audition list and waiting to be selected.

And the third page-

It's a brunette.

When Roland saw those sapphire eyes, his eyelids jumped.

What the hell is this?

Who drafted Liv Taylor?

That's right, the third place that appears in the audition list is the elf princess in the "Lord of the Rings" series, she was born in 77 years old and is only two and a half years older than Roland, of course, this is not the point, the point is that her Lao Tzu is Stephen Taylor, the lead singer of the Air Blacksmith Band, and in the follow-up notes, it is also clearly written that he was "chosen" by Tom Hanks and is about to participate in "Unstoppable Miracle" written and directed by the other party.

"This is already the third relational household." The truck driver laughed and continued to flip through the data.

Roland didn't say anything, and chose to watch it.

And the next bunch of 'acquaintances' saw that his scalp was numb.

There is Angelina Jolie, whom Roland had seen in the time loop before, and when they saw her, the two who knew the situation would smile;

There is Milla Jovovich, who is not yet married to Luc Besson, but her mother has worked as a cleaner in the house of Brian Palma, a Jewish gang director who previously chatted and farted with Roland;

and Reese Witherspoon, who debuted with his father-in-arms Robert Mulligan, who is also the star of the "Legally Blonde" series;

and Marion Cotillard, ostensibly Sophia in "Assassin's Creed", a French actress who won the Oscar for "La Vie en Rose", but in fact, her parents are the pillars of the Parisian stage, Marion Cotillard has been around Luc Besson since she was a child and called her uncle, and there is even a special French website to introduce the daughter of her family;

In addition, there is Charlize Theron, who is also favored by Tom Hanks and will participate in "Unstoppable Miracle";

And Natalie Portman, a mother who can't wait for her daughter to become famous......

When Roland and the truck driver read the entire book, their heads were full of names of acquaintances.

Or rather, if it doesn't matter, you can't make this list at all!

Although Roland had been prepared, he knew that he might become a fragrant bun, but when he found that there was not a single grassroots in the entire list, he realized how sought-after he was!

"What do you think?" The truck driver closed the list and looked at Roland with a clear look.

"These people are going crazy...... Sending a girl? Roland thought about it for a long time before he came up with such an underwhelming idea.

The truck driver ...... paused, then closed his eyes, resisted the urge to punch people, and took a deep breath before saying, "I'm asking what you think of this list?" Who do you think is the right person to play Gwen? ”

"Oh...... I don't know ......."

Roland's real idea is actually to be beautiful, after all, there are few guys recommended by acquaintances who can't act.

Like Marion Cotillard, people have been playing on stage with their parents since they were children; Liv Taylor, if Roland remembers correctly, Bertolucci customized a movie for her called "Stealing Incense", that is, the person is a bit tall, if she is really chosen, then at least he has to put bricks under his feet; Reese Witherspoon, who has been acting since ninety-one, is five feet two inches tall to stand with herself, and like Gwen, she is blonde......

To put it bluntly, this kind of project with a guaranteed investment of 100 million yuan is not afraid of finding an actor at all, and if Roland is willing, he can even do more exaggerated than Harvey's fat man, because judging from the current situation, many people are willing to talk about a romantic relationship with him, since it is wishful thinking, can it be considered a potential?

Xiao Lizi collects stamps, and it is not said that he has a group of Leonardo girls!

So in this way, Roland didn't know how to choose.

And Rachel McAdams –

Well, looking at the current situation, even if Roland is asking Sony to make an audition, they can't find Rachel from the trucker's hometown, because it's not a problem that they don't want to find amateurs, but most people in Hollywood, the entertainment industry, don't want the opportunity to become popular to be taken away by others!

"Then since you don't know, then let them all come and try?"

The truck driver proposed, "When the time comes, you can play with them, and whichever one feels good?" ”

"Okay." Roland doesn't care, although "The Lion King" and "Forrest Gump" did not meet his expectations, but this has nothing to do with him, it was a sudden accident, no film company will make associations, he is still the A+list who has the right to pick people, "It's not the blonde ones who let them dye their blonde hair and come back, a week should be enough, right?" ”

"Even if it's a holiday in the Amazon jungle, they can catch it." The truck driver shrugged, "If you don't arrive, or if you don't want to dye your hair blonde, can't you just pass?" ”
