Chapter 82: common transactions

The first thing to do back in Los Angeles is to officially sign the director contract of "The Evil One" with 20th Century Fox.

At the same time, he also serves as a producer, and has multiple rights such as the final casting rights and editing rights of the film.

Twentieth Century Fox only sent one executive producer as a supervisor, mainly dealing with the daily affairs of the crew and financial supervision.

Lei-Sancheni, a rare female producer, her last crew was the famous "True Lies".

At the same time, Ryan finally got his wish, the copyright of X-Men and Daredevil.

To this end, it is necessary to pay Twentieth Century Fox a large sum of money in one lump sum.

Fortunately, most of the copyrights of "Chain Saw 2" have been sold, and the theater company has also begun to pay the first box office share, so that he has enough funds to pay the fee.

Furthermore, Twentieth Century Fox did not open its mouth when it came to copyright fees.

For a while, the crew entered into intense preparations.

However, as a director and producer, Ryan was not as busy as he imagined. Except for casting and shooting location selection, most other things were left to Sofia and Ray Sancheni.

After all, "The Evil Spirit" is an investment from 20th Century Fox, so many things for the crew are not troublesome.

Of course, he also took care of some familiar crew members, such as some crew members from the last two "Chain Saw", staff from the Star Brokerage Company, and so on.

Even, the extras, backdrops, and some small roles needed by the crew were all recommended by Helen.

On this point, Ryan is not polite.

"Hasn't decided yet who will play the role of Em?"

In this regard, Ryan is somewhat speechless, whether it is Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman, they are very suitable for this role.

In this way, it is somewhat difficult to choose.

"Helen doesn't know how to choose."

"You know, she has a good relationship with the parents of the two little guys." Sofia Coppola made a helpless look.

Although in the Jewish circle, you can get a lot of contacts, but you have to face one thing, how to choose between Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman.

Helen obviously had some scruples.

"Then arrange an audition to decide who is more suitable for the role itself." Ryan immediately made a decision to arrange an audition for the two little guys.

"Okay, I'll notify Helen right now." After Sofia Coppola finished speaking, she got up and walked outside.

The studio in front of him is no longer the previous office. Ryan was upstairs some time ago and rented a small half-floor space. Not only does it have a separate bathroom, but it even has a large conference room.

At the same time, several employees were added, including the handyman that Sophia said.

As soon as Sophia left, Ryan was left alone in the huge office, flipping through the actor profiles from time to time. In addition to the role of Em in the film, her parents and priests all needed to be auditioned.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Ryan put down the information in his hand and said.

As soon as the words were finished, the door of the office was pushed open, and a tall, 1.75 meter tall woman with long blond hair walked in. She seemed to be in her early twenties at most.

This woman has a very good body shape, wearing casual clothes, very decent, as if tailor-made, highlighting her tall figure, her makeup is also carefully crafted, and it matches perfectly with the clothes on her body.

"Hello, Mr. Ryan." She closed the office door casually, showing a very charming smile.

Ryan frowned, as if he didn't know this woman, but he was able to call out his name, and immediately realized that this woman seemed to come to him specially.

However, the young woman in front of him seemed familiar.

"Excuse me, miss, what do you want?"

The young woman introduced herself: "My name is Charlize Theron, a model or to be precise, an actress who starred in "Kids in the Cornfield 3"."

"You can call me Charlie."

Charlize Theron!

There was a look of understanding in Ryan's eyes. A few days ago, someone recommended an actor through Ray Sancheni, and it was Charlize Theron in front of him, the famous King Cypriot and South African Diamond in his previous life.

However, he flatly refused at that time, the reason is very simple, now Charlize - Theron is at most twenty years old, there is no suitable role for her in "The Evil Spirit", unless she is willing to play a small role with only a few shots.

"You can sit down and talk first." Ryan asked her to sit down. Anyway, she was an actor recommended by Lei Sancheni, so she should give some face.

"thanks."

Charlize-Theron said thank you politely, walked to the front of the chair and sat down, raised a slender jade leg, fully showing her strengths.

It had been a while, Ryan, who hadn't made out with Monica Bellucci, looked somewhat erratic.

Ryan collected himself and said, "Miss Charlie, what can I do for you!"

Charlize-Theron looked into Ryan's eyes, showed a hint of pleading, and said, "Mr. Ryan, please give me a chance to audition!"

"Just once."

Last time, her agent managed to find Lei-Sancheni through relationships, and wanted to give her a chance to audition.

He didn't want to, but he was flatly rejected by the person in front of him, not even giving Lei Sancheni any face.

In this regard, Lei Sancheni didn't feel anything at all. As long as Ryan was willing, Twentieth Century Fox could change the executive producer.

But Charlize Theron was a little unwilling.

However, Ryan didn't like this at all. He had seen too many similar scenes in his previous life, so he said directly: "Miss Charlie, I have already told Lei clearly that you are too young, the same age as the characters in the movie." Paragraphs do not match."

"So I can't help you, sorry."

What he said was the truth, she couldn't be allowed to act as the mother of a teenage child!

Even the role of the female teacher in the film is too young for her age.

As for revising the script?

The Charlize Theron in front of me doesn't have this value yet.

"I just want an audition opportunity." Charlize Theron suppressed the idea of ​​getting up and leaving, and pleaded again.

"Sorry, I can't send you an audition invitation unless the actor is of the right age." Ryan opened his eyes and said nonsense.

As long as he wants or wants, he can send an audition invitation to anyone, and it is not impossible to even modify the script.

Provided he is willing.

Charlize-Theron looked at Ryan for a while, and she knew very well that what he said just now was just a lie. As the director and producer of the film, she can decide any actor, let alone just one Audition invitation.

It was silent for a while~www.wuxiaspot.com~ She stood up suddenly, walked to the desk, lowered her body, her chest was pressed tightly against Ryan's body, and a scent came out of her seductive red lips.

"I can give everything for this, including myself, as long as you agree to my request."

When she was in the modeling circle, she had long been accustomed to various transactions, and knew that if she wanted to seize the opportunity in front of her, she would need to pay some price, such as her own body.

A very common deal hint in Hollywood.

"I'll say it again, Miss Charlie, there really isn't a role for you in the film."

Ryan does not refuse the deal, the premise is that it must conform to the character in the film, as for going back on his word? He doesn't even cut it to do so.

Charlize Theron didn't seem to understand what he said, she leaned forward again, stuck out her seductive tongue, circled around, and said, "I can give you the most luxurious enjoyment."

"During filming, you can be there whenever you want."

"Even after filming is over, you can always call me."

Ryan withdrew his gaze with difficulty, took a deep breath, and said, "I have to say that your offer is very attractive. I really want to agree to it, but there really is no suitable role for you in "The Evil Spirit."

Facing the famous South African diamond in his previous life, it was very difficult for him to refuse.

But the current Charlize-Theron is too young, to be precise, she should be less than twenty years old, so she is not suitable for the role in the film.

Of course, if you were someone else, you could agree first and enjoy a comfortable night.

The next day, just pretend it never happened, or randomly assign a small role with only a few shots, and deal with it.

But he didn't want to do that and get into trouble.
