Chapter 194: A 60-year-old actor
Jackson pointed to the woods and said to Willis.
Willis nodded gracefully at the wood, who smiled back.
"Mr. Willis, from the first time I saw you, I knew you were the person I was looking for." Lin Mu said with great certainty.
"Oh? What does this say? Willis asked with interest.
"Because your image completely overlaps with one of my characters in the movie."
"You may not know that my film is a film with scientific and educational significance, and it requires a person with a lot of qualifications to play a knowledgeable professor in my film."
"That's why I had to ask Jackson to let you come, and I'm sure we'll have a great time working together after meeting you in person."
"What do you think?"
"Of course, I'd love to work with a young guy, but can you tell me what the hell this movie is about? What do I need to do in it? ”
"You know, I'm getting older, and there are some roles and moves that I can't do at all."
"You don't have to do anything at all, just sit on a couch and say your lines in the right tone." Lin Mu hurriedly waved his hand.
After speaking, he handed over one of the passages of the script that he had prepared a long time ago to Willis, believing that he would understand after reading it.
"Mr. Willis, you can take a look now, and after reading it, you can decide whether to join us or not."
Before this, Lin Mu had already considered the issue of the actor's age, but there was Fan Ye among them, and now Jessica joined. There is no need to worry about the age span at all.
Besides, this movie is done in a small room, and there is no need to do any superfluous actions. No matter how old you are, as long as you can remember the lines.
……
After a while. Willis finally finished reading the script in his hand, raised his head and looked at Lin Mu in surprise.
"Lin, can you tell me who the screenwriter of this movie is? I would love to meet him and how he came up with such a novel idea, which has never been seen in novels or movies in the United States or even in the world. ”
Lin Mu shook his head, "I'm sorry, the author of this movie is reluctant to appear in public, he has already handed over all the rights to me, and the writing of the script was also completed by the two of us." It's the same if you ask me any questions. ”
Lin Mu has long been prepared for this, a screenwriter who does not want to be named, in the United States, is not as director-centered as in China.
Their screenwriter is the more important center, and as in South Korea, a good screenwriter is sometimes more convincing than a director in the crew.
(This is not the case in the United States itself, which has changed after the writers' strike.) )
And this just makes up for his lies in China, and he collaborated with an unknown screenwriter on this movie. So Lin Mu was able to win the adaptation rights.
Then he can personally come abroad to direct this movie, and the screenwriter has his own name in it, and he also has his own fame.
Hearing Lin Mu say this, Willis sighed. Obviously, I have some sighs about not being able to meet the screenwriter with his whimsical ideas in person.
But it's also great to be able to communicate with the woods.
"Okay, Lin, I'll take over this drama."
"Welcome. Mr. Willis, welcome to my crew. ”
"Now. Mr. Jackson. We need to talk about salary. ”
"Of course." It was finally time to meet Jackson, and Jackson was in good spirits.
"I think Mr. Willis can get and it's worth the $5w price."
"No, no, no. Mr. Jackson, this is too much to meet our requirements, you must know that in the United States, you can find an Screen Actors Guild actor for a few thousand dollars, this price is obviously too high, and we are willing to pay 1w dollars for Mr. Willis to be willing to play at his age. "It was Robert, who had not spoken.
It is obvious that Lin Mu can't be allowed to do the matter of talking about salary, so as not to show off the gap between the director and the actors in the crew.
Although business and work in the United States cannot be confused, Lin Mu still insists on doing so, and the casting is done by himself, and Robert does the rest.
"It's too low, Mr. Willis is worth more than $10,000, at least $4w."
"Jackson, your requirements are too high, although our director is very optimistic about Mr. Willis, but this price is too high, not within a few of us can accept."
"If you still insist on this price, Jackson, then we can only say goodbye."
"Well, Robert, you win, say, what's the highest price."
"Twenty thousand dollars, this is our highest price, if it exceeds us, we can only find other people, the United States has less everything, but the most people!"
Hearing this, Jackson frowned, twenty thousand dollars was obviously not the most satisfactory price in his heart.
Perhaps seeing Jackson's hesitation, Robert continued: "Jackson, although you are an agent, I still have to remind you, why don't you ask the opinion of the person concerned?" What do you say, Mr. Willis? ”
Willis smiled and nodded, "Of course, I think $20,000 is a good fit, Jackson, it only takes me a few days, and making $20,000 in a few days is already a perfect thing." ”
Since Willis said so, Jackson couldn't hold on.
In the end, the two signed a contract like this, and signed a 60-year-old actor for $20,000.
"Mr. Willis, leave me your mailbox, I will send you the complete script when I go back, familiarize yourself with the lines in the next two days, and the movie will start after the characters are found in two days."
"Of course, my email address is weilisi@XXXX"
"Okay, I'll make a note of it, and I'll send you the full script when I get back in the evening."
"Thank you."
"Have a nice day and have a great time working together." Lin Mu stood up and hugged Willis and said.
"You too, Lin."
Willis then left with his $20,000 contract, and Jackson then scheduled the next audition.
In the end, the remaining characters were selected, all of whom were over 30 years old and of different nationalities.
However, the highest salary is only 1w US dollars, which is still because he has played many roles in the crew, although they are very small, but the value will be a little higher.
The others are very selective about the woods, and they don't need to be too focused at all, and they don't have to mess with Jackson. (To be continued.) )
