Chapter 299: Dachao joins

After the face-to-face communication between Fan Zhe and Du Zhengde, within a few days, Du Zhengde's own brokerage team negotiated his film contract with Wedo Entertainment.

Du Zhengde will serve as the chief director of "Martial Arts Master: War" and participate in the construction of the project.

At the same time, some of the main actors in the movie have basically been decided.

Since the movie project is closely followed by the TV series, many characters are not planned to be replaced by Wedo Entertainment. For example, the protagonist Lou Cheng and the heroine Yan Zheke will definitely still be played by Chen Yu and Una. is like Lin Que, and Chen Weiting will also be played.

But there are also some characters who have not appeared in the TV series of "Martial Arts Grandmaster", and most of them are villains.

These need to be recruited from the outside.

The villain is not something unimportant, on the contrary, an action movie like "Martial Arts Master: War" will always have a final boss to defeat, and this final boss, whether it is done well or not, is definitely one of the key factors that can affect the final result of the movie.

No one likes to watch the protagonist engage in it for a long time, but it's just a weak scumbag.

At the same time, in today's commercial films, more and more trends prove that getting a villain who is attractive enough in itself is definitely a plus.

In the original book, the final boss in the plot of "Martial Arts Master: Warfire" is called 'Eighteen', who is the person in charge of the android transformation laboratory, and is himself a top 'horror-level' powerhouse. After the man-made experiment was relatively successful, in order to make his strength to a higher level, he also transformed himself, and his strength became very strong. But because of this, his personality has changed a bit, and he doesn't like to use his real name very much, and he begins to prefer to use the code name 'Eighteen' to refer to himself.

He is indeed the product of the eighteenth generation of modified people.

In the original book, this criminal group of human experiments has the shadow of some countries such as United States and Japan behind it. However, there may be some policy risks in writing like this, let alone movies.

If "Martial Arts Master: War" wants to be released smoothly, these contents that may touch on politically sensitive risks must not be touched, and the power of the river crab beast is above everything.

What's more, the ambition of this movie is not only limited to the domestic market.

This movie will inevitably take the path of global release.

In fact, the TV series itself already has a certain influence on the world.

If you want to make money in the Japanese market and the North American market, of course, you can't be blind to black people.

As a result, the background of this villain, in the movie script, is simply treated as an international criminal group, and it has nothing to do with politics.

It's safer this way.

As for the actor of the big boss of 'No. 18', Wedo Entertainment was already contacting some Hollywood European and American stars as early as two months ago, when the project was being prepared.

In the original book, this character is a foreigner.

Of course, when making movies, there is no problem with using Chinese people. However, considering that the movie is going to be released on a global scale, and the European and American markets are also very important, it is actually more appropriate to find a white actor in the choice of this important role.

Not only did he want to find a white actor, Fan Zhe also went one step further and wanted to invite a more famous movie star.

The staff of 'Wedo America' have been in contact with many more suitable stars in this month.

The arrogant Hollywood did not look down on a single film in the Far East, and most of the contact work ended in failure.

However, in the end, they still found a more suitable actor.

Henry. Carville.

He played the role of Superman in several DC movies.

"Superman: Man of Steel", "Batman v Superman", "Justice League" ......

In addition to the most famous superhuman role, Fan Zhe appreciates his performance in a movie, "Secret Agent", a very gentlemanly agent, and he has done a good job. By the way, Fan Zhe also likes the movie "Secret Agent", and the reputation of the movie itself is also good, but I don't know why it is not very popular. By the way, Fan Zhe is also looking forward to his role in the Witcher TV series adapted from "The Witcher", and he is looking forward to seeing 'White Wolf' Geralt on the screen, as well as the sexy Yennefa.

Straight to the point, Henry. Looking at the appearance, Cavill is a particularly standard British handsome guy, tall and handsome, especially after wearing a suit, he has the temperament of an English gentleman.

He is not a serious first-line movie star in Hollywood. Most of his fame was brought to him by Superman, and in addition to Superman, although there were some other roles, from the TV series "Tudor" to the movie "Secret Agent...... However, none of them were able to make him really popular.

In fact, the real commercial value of this kind of star who became popular through superhero movies needs to be questioned.

In the current film market, especially the good scoundrel, this kind of superhero adaptation of the series of movies, in fact, the relative value of the star itself is good - except for Iron Man, who has been given a special soul by Robert Downey Jr., some other superheroes, playing by another actor, may have a certain impact, but it will not be too big.

On the contrary, the quality of the movie itself, the name of the superhero, and even the appeal of Marvel or DC...... These may be a little more important.

Imagine if the actors of Superman and Captain America were swapped from the beginning, it didn't seem like much.

And for Henry. Cavill is concerned, except for Superman, he really doesn't seem to have any particularly good works.

If he goes to play Superman, the salary will definitely be very high. But playing other roles, it's not quite the same.

Of course, no matter what, he is also a Hollywood movie star, and the influence of Dimension Entertainment is nothing to Hollywood - at least for now.

Therefore, if you want to impress him to play the final villain of "Martial Arts Master: War", you must still give a certain score in terms of salary.

The salary offered to him by Dimension Entertainment reached 10 million US dollars.

There are some rumors on the Internet that he is paid 14 million dollars for filming Superman, which is completely nonsense. filmed Superman, and his actual film is probably less than 14 million in salary. He filmed "The Witcher", which was only $400,000 an episode, and there were only eight episodes in total.

The price given by Dimension Entertainment is already quite good.

In fact, this money impressed Henry. Carville. His brokerage team took over the job from the Far East.
