Chapter 407: Captain Sparrow's Cast Candidates

Hu Lan and Duan Shengyu finally learned the news of the quarrel between several directors. Of course, as for who revealed it, it doesn't seem to matter so much at this time.

For the two, now relying on a "Red Sea Operation", there is not much controversy about the success of this tribute film project.

As for the operation of the official director Ruan Chong, which seems to be very deductive, Duan Shengyu does not want to continue to pursue it.

But Ruan Chong's position is not expected to change much in the future. Even similar official projects may not have much to do with him.

...... In the meantime, Martin has returned to the United States. officially started the project of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and talked about the acquisition of special effects companies.

The action was so big that it quickly attracted the attention of many people. The news reached his father, Wesker, the boss of Pager Pictures.

As Xu conjectured, although Martin did not deliberately pay attention to these aspects. But most of his contacts still revolve around Paiki Pictures, and many of the people he knows are from his father's company.

"Sir, this is the eighth person the young master has asked us to help." Hearing the words of his subordinates, Wesker's expression at this time was also a little playful.

"I'm curious, how much investment did Huaxia Company give this kid to this kid's project this time?" Martin hasn't stopped moving since he came back.

This time, the employees invited by the other party from Pai Qi are basically some experienced crew members.

What's more, there was such a big movement, and now many people are running to ask him if there is a figure of Pai in the movie Martin made this time.

The previous "Chainsaw", which was so successful, has already made many people wonder if there will be Paiki's help in this.

Mainly because of the low cost of "Saw Horror", it is a bit outrageous to get such a high box office.

Everyone is more willing to accept because of the help of Paige, one of the eight major film companies. Of course, only Wesker himself knows that in fact, he didn't really help in this process.

The relationship between the whole movie and Page, except that the paper man is his Wesker's son, there is really no other connection.

"I feel that the investment in this film is likely to exceed 100 million US dollars." Hearing this, Wesker was a little amused, and then shook his head.

"Absolutely impossible." The company of the Chinese people, the small-cost investment in Wesker felt that it was nothing.

A film project with a cost of more than 100 million US dollars is definitely a big production in the eight major film studios. It's the kind that requires the full support of the entire company.

It's not that he doesn't think that this Huaxia company can't make money, after all, the previous "Dream Travel" and "Chainsaw" almost made a lot of money.

He didn't think the Chinese would trust Martin that much. His own son understands that Martin is really a little too unreliable.

Although Saw was a success, it was still not enough to change the stereotype that had been left here at Wesker.

If it were him, maybe he would be willing to let Martin try tens of millions of investments. But with more than 100 million film projects, he really felt that it was definitely impossible.

It's just that judging from the current situation, the investment Martin got this time must not be small.

"Mr. Wesker, will you use me to remind you?"

"Let Master Martin stop using the company's ......," the subordinate asked tentatively. In fact, this is the main reason why he came to Wesker this time.

After all, Martin is not Paiky's person, and this project is not Paiky's project. Wesker shook his head.

"I don't even have that energy."

"And it doesn't matter who you look for, Martin doesn't have to pay them yet, that's fine." The subordinate nodded.

"Got it, sir." ...... Martin is now struggling with the choice of actors.

It's not because the people you want to invite can't be invited. After all, the budget for the salary is sufficient, and it is not too difficult to invite.

But the crux of the problem is not this, after all, the actors he originally invited were not the kind of actors with particularly high salaries.

It's because during the time he went to Huaxia, he had some understanding of Tongji Entertainment. Although Xu Ji didn't say anything special, he noticed that some of the main actors in Xu Ji's film and television projects are artists under their company.

And now Martin knows very well that if there is nothing wrong with this "Pirates of the Caribbean" this time, then it is very likely that there will be a fire in the future.

As the leading actor, he must be the one who benefits the most. So he now has a very crazy idea, that is, to sign the male protagonist he likes directly.

Let the other party become the first signed artist of Tongji Entertainment in the United States. Of course, this idea is not so easy to implement.

After all, although he fancied the actor who was suitable for the male lead, although he was not a superstar, the first line was proper.

In such a situation, it is really unrealistic to convince the other party to sign a company that was not famous before.

So that's where Martin finds it difficult. But that doesn't mean he won't try. ......

"Buhler, I said it all, you can't take this scene this time."

"It's not for me to decide, it's for the company." After Cali Buller heard the agent's words, he couldn't help frowning.

"I don't want to hear that."

"Just because we have a conflict with Casno, I can't take over their company's play?"

"What's this called?" The agent also looked helpless at this time. Originally, Cali Buhler had already gone to the audition, and even the director agreed to come down.

But because Cali Buller's company had a holiday with the film's investment company, Cali Buller gave up directly.

"Don't worry, the last thing that America lacks is a good script, and I will definitely help you find a more suitable one!" The agent hurriedly spoke to reassure.

In fact, he didn't understand the company's decision, and it was clear that Buhler's brokerage contract was about to expire.

Isn't doing such a thing at this time driving the other party out? But think about it, it's true, Lina Films, as one of the Big Eight, of course, doesn't care about the feelings of a first-line artist like Cali Buhler.

Cali Buhler is not a child anymore, and after being in this industry for so long, of course, he will not be fooled by his agent's two words.

But at this time, he didn't want to continue to entangle. The outcome of the matter is already doomed, and there is no point in dwelling on these anymore.

"I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first." Cali Buhler said perfunctorily, then got up and left.

...... As a result, Cali Buller had just left the company building of Lina Films, and was just about to get into his car when he heard a voice coming.

It was called by his name.

"Mr. Buller!" Cali Buller subconsciously thought it was some fanatical fan or something, and couldn't help but frown.

But when the other party came over, he realized that he actually knew the person who came. This person is not a fan, but Martin Mason, the second son of Paiki Pictures.

"Boy Martin, do you have anything to do with me?" Bühler's impression of Martin is still stuck in the image of the other party's playboy, so he has no good impression of him.

Of course, after all, he is Paiqi's second son, so naturally his attitude will not be too bad, and he doesn't want to offend the other party because of these things.

It's just that he feels that he and Martin are completely people from two worlds, and he doesn't know why the other party suddenly found him.

Because I had heard many of Martin's bad deeds before, I was quite defensive at this time, and I felt that the other party would not find him well.

...... Martin didn't sell it, and glanced around the parking lot to make sure that no one was there before he spoke: "If you can, I hope Mr. Buller will give me some time, and we will find a quiet place to talk." ”

"It's a very important thing, both for me and for you." Martin actually wanted to get in touch with Bühler and there was a way.

But most of the time, it will alarm the other party's agent first. And this is what Martin doesn't want to see, so he can only choose the stupid way of squatting in front of the company.

Of course, fortunately, the hard work paid off, and on the second day, he successfully met Cali Buhler who came out alone.

At this time, Bühler looked hesitant. The most important thing is that Martin's reputation is too bad.

He didn't think there was anything good about the other party looking for him. So subconsciously I didn't want to agree. But the key is that the other party is Paiqi's son-in-law, and he can't offend directly.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally nodded and agreed.

"Let's get in my car, I know there's a quiet café nearby." He had already thought that if Martin made some more excessive demands at that time, he would find a way to decline them.

If Martin is unreasonable, it's not too late to turn around. Until then, it's better not to offend the other party.

...... The two got into Bühler's car, and after about ten minutes, they came to a relatively remote street.

Obviously, Buhler usually comes here often, and the boss was not surprised to see him, but directly arranged for the two of them in an inconspicuous small room on the second floor.

"Son Martin, just say anything straight." After sitting down and ordering a drink, Bühler spoke directly.

Hearing the other man's words, Martin coughed a few times, and then organized the language.

"Mr. Bühler, I would like to invite you to join our company."

"As far as I know, your brokerage contract with Lina Films is just over three months away, right?" Hearing Martin's words, Buller was stunned for a moment.

He thought about it a lot, but he didn't expect that the other party actually wanted to sign a contract with him. Of course, at this time, Bühler subconsciously felt that Martin represented Paige, one of the eight major film companies.

For him, the strength of Lina and Pai Qi is actually not much different. The most important thing is that he is already a little dissatisfied with Lina.

I really want to change my brokerage company. And Paiki is indeed a good choice.

"Childe Martin, if I can, can I take a look at the contract first?"

"On top of that, I want to know if you can really represent Paiki." Bühler is well aware of Martin's reputation.

It's an out-and-out gentleman, and if it's Martin's big brother, he can be trusted. But Martin's words, the other party may still come out to deceive people under the guise of Page, and it is not necessarily.

Therefore, these things need to be understood in advance. ...... At this time, when Martin heard the other party's words, he knew that Cali Buhler had misunderstood him.

I thought he represented Paigie. So he said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Buller, maybe you have misunderstood. ”

"I'm not here to negotiate a contract with you on behalf of Paiki."

"I represent Tongji Entertainment." Bühler was stunned for a moment. Because of the company in the other party's mouth, although he has some impressions, he can't remember it at all.

But no matter what, it is definitely impossible to compare with the eight major films. So he subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Before he could speak, Martin said, "Mr. Buller, maybe you don't know our company. ”

"But you must have heard of Saw Horror, right?"

"By the way, there is also "Dream Travel", both of which are produced by our company." Bühler was also a little surprised.

He has naturally heard the names of these two movies, after all, they are dark horses that suddenly appeared this year.

As an actor, it is natural that you will not fail to pay attention to these films that have achieved great results. But just like that, it's still impossible for him to think about it.

It's not that two movies with a good box office can prove the strength of the company. Compared with the eight major film companies with deep heritage, this company is a small company at first sound, which is quite unreliable.

"I'm sorry, I probably haven't considered changing companies yet." Cali Buhler directly changed his tone just now, which was obviously about to refuse.

Martin didn't show that he was in a hurry, but said slowly: "I won't tell you, in fact, our company's headquarters is in Huaxia." ”

"In terms of strength, it is no worse than the eight major film companies in the United States."

"Of course, the most important thing is that the boss of our company admires Mr. Bühler quite a lot and asked me to find you." Although Bühler was determined on the surface, he was actually a little dismissive in his heart.

can have the strength of the eight major films, this boast is not responsible. He didn't believe such words at all.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that what Martin said next shocked him.

"Of course, I know that Mr. Buhler will not believe it."

"But this time I came with sincerity, and our company has made a movie specially tailored for you."

"It would be a shame if the main character of this $150 million film was not Mr. Buller's." Buller froze for a few seconds when he heard the number, and then asked incredulously.

"How much?" Martin replied with a smile: "One hundred and fifty million, dollars!" Buhler didn't believe every word Martin had said before, but at this moment, he suddenly began to believe something.

Of course, at this time, Martin admired his ingenuity. My own technique of fooling people seems to have risen a lot.

I don't know why. Of course, the film is not specially made for Bühler, so as to show the importance of his side.
