Chapter 509: seaquake

"Mad Max 4" is an R-rated film, and George Miller has a big appetite and a high budget, so even if Mel Gibson is starring and the script is completed very early, it still fails to find an investor .

It wasn't until 2003 that George Miller finally reached an agreement with Twentieth Century Fox to make the film. Then the project started, and when Mel Gibson was done with "The Passion of the Christ," the film would be made.

The result came unexpectedly, because the outbreak of the Iraq War caused the United States to strengthen travel and transportation restrictions with many countries, and George Miller's plan to shoot in the Namibian desert was stranded.

If the car can't be transported, naturally it can't be photographed.

When the war situation improved and US transportation restrictions were relaxed, Mel Gibson was blocked by Hollywood!

Now it's a complete stop.

The "Mad Max 4" project suffered an indefinite long shelving.

It was not until 2012 that George Miller finally reached an agreement with 20th Century Fox to let Tom Hardy replace Mel Gibson as "Max". After all kinds of setbacks, "Mad Max 4" finally project.

Now, since Dunn has persuaded Mel Gibson to give up the filming of "The Passion of the Christ", he must hurry up and make "Mad Max 4" finalized.

Before the Iraq war broke out, the project was completed, and the modified vehicles and other props were transported to the African desert, so that George Miller could start the machine smoothly.

Grant Hill was the first producer of the "Mad Max 4" project arranged by Dunn Films. He was instructed by Dunn and continued to negotiate with George Miller.

George Miller is also very anxious, hoping to implement this project as soon as possible.

After a few days of thinking, he made some compromises and agreed not to participate in the investment in "Mad Max 4", but his director's salary must be met - 10 million US dollars, plus a 10% profit share.

On the other hand, Dunn communicated with Mel Gibson in person, and basically reached an agreement on his personal contract, which is $20 million plus a 10% North American box office dividend.

At this time, Mel Gibson's weakness as a foreigner was revealed.

Will Smith was paid "$2,000 + 10% global box office bonus" in Sony Pictures' blockbuster "Men in Black 2".

Arnold Schwarzenegger was paid "$30 million + 20% profit dividend" in Warner Bros. blockbuster "Terminator 3".

But the box office appeal of these two people, who can compare with Mel Gibson?

No way, this is the big environment.

In Hollywood, Americans are paid more than foreigners.

Because unions protect the interests of Americans!

A week later, the big picture is set.

The "Mad Max 4" project was launched with a budget cost of 120 million US dollars and was jointly produced by Dunn Films and Rose Films.

Grant Hill, Kathleen Kennedy, George Miller, Mel Gibson are producers, George Miller is the director, and Mel Gibson is the male lead.

...

Every weekend in Hollywood, there are parties of all kinds.

Some are social parties, some are work parties.

Even Murdoch and Redstone in the New York business circle will fly to Los Angeles on weekends to attend important parties.

Tang En's favorite is entertainment parties, whether it's a "home party" carnival, a swimsuit party, an underwear party, Yingyingyanyan, surrounded by beautiful women, all are good.

There are even some larger-scale parties, drug gambling, pornographic violence, almost imaginable gameplay, everything!

Dunn went with Leonardo once and quit after ten minutes of visiting.

Simply unacceptable.

But recently, Dunn is more at work parties.

After Dunn's luxury yacht was in service, the place of his work party changed to the yacht.

It's not that he was showing off, it was the guests who asked for it.

The "nat" yacht is the most luxurious, most expensive and largest displacement private yacht in the world!

Even big Hollywood stars are looking forward to boarding a yacht and seeing the true colors of Mount Lu.

This weekend's party, most of the guests are high-level executives of Dunn Pictures, Marvel Pictures, Focus Pictures, and Sta TV Network. It is a standard work party.

Everyone behaved well, and there were no female stars competing for beauty. Most of the executives brought their wives to the scene.

Dunn also brought his girlfriend Natalie to entertain everyone as a master.

However, Dunn's goal today is not to talk about work and friendship with executives, but to confirm the project of "Mad Max 4".

George Miller also came over. He was very happy, "Don... Hehe, can I call you Dunn? It's an honor to be invited to today's reception."

His salary in Hollywood is generally between $1.5 million and $2 million.

And Dunn in the "Mad Max 4" project, gave him a salary of 10 million US dollars, and a 10% profit dividend.

Sincerely!

In this case, let alone "Mad Max 4", even if it is "Mad Max 5" and "Mad Max 6", the partner must be Dunn Pictures.

Tang En smiled, "I came to you today, mainly to talk about the heroine."

George Miller has long heard that Dunn likes the domineering heroine in the films he invested in, and said with an embarrassed expression: "Don, in this project... the heroine is not a vase role, and has a very important role in the scene. , need that kind of tough, athletic actress, and even shave her head."

Dunn glanced at him, "Oh? It seems that you have a choice?"

George Miller nodded with a smile.

Dunn can almost conclude that it should be Charlize Theron, the heroine of "Mad Max 4" in the previous life.

The female oil worker she played in "Unsinkable" last year changed the image of the vase in the past and made a great breakthrough in her acting skills. That kind of firm, tenacious temperament, women do not let men.

This is so in line with the character standard of the heroine of "Mad Max 4".

Charlize Theron played this role, Dunn was happy to see it.

Fat water does not flow into the field of outsiders!

Although she has not returned to the Banshan Manor for more than half a year.

"I have already informed her that Mel will bring her with me." George Miller suddenly stopped, his face showed a slight smile, and pointed behind Dunn, "Look, they are here!"

Dunn was a little surprised.

isn't it?

Charlize Theron at his party and still needs Mel Gibson to lead the way?

Looking back, he was slightly taken aback.

This is not Charlize Theron!

"Hello, Director Walker. This yacht is too luxurious and spectacular! After sailing for a while, I will definitely go to the deck and feel it."

The **** the opposite side, as George Miller said, has an angular face, a tough and sunny smile, and a burly and vigorous physique...

It seems that it is really more in line with the standard of this role than Charlize Theron.

Tang En is both funny and helpless, "The queen is here, and she is shining!"

This girl is the Oscar winner two years ago - Hilary Swank.

Hilary Swank is an actor, not a star. She has no scandals, no gossip, and she speaks with her works, so she just shows respect for etiquette. Unlike other Hollywood female stars, she tries to please Dunn as soon as they meet.

Dunn disagreed with her appearance, so he had no other ideas. He said in a business-like manner, "Miss Swank, are you going to compete for the heroine of Mad Max 4?"

"Can't you?" Hilary Swank asked with a slight smile.

George Miller hurriedly said, "I've been in contact with her these days, and we talked... very pleasant."

"Um?"

Dunn's heart jumped, and he immediately understood George Miller's thoughts.

This is because he is afraid that he will interfere in the selection of the heroine, so there is a first cut and then a performance!

Now Hilary Swank, the Oscar heroine, is standing in front of her, and the director has recognized her. Can Dunn refuse?

If this is rejected, it is equivalent to turning against Hilary Swank.

Dunn was not afraid to offend her, but it was not necessary.

Besides, Hilary Swank is indeed a better character for the role than Charlize Theron.

Her image is more suitable, her acting is better, and she is more famous at the moment.

Tang En said calmly, "I'm just a little surprised, this is a commercial film."

Hilary Swank said with a smile: "I never said that I would not make commercial films, I just like challenging roles. Although "Mad Max 4" is a commercial film, the heroine 'Ferrosa' is a complex The strength of this character's shaping is even better than that of the male protagonist."

Dunn took a deep look at George Miller. Well, this guy has even shown her the script.

Hilary Swank continued: "I especially admire 'Ferosa', she is strong, independent, full of perseverance and death, this is a character full of feminism. When I heard that the producer was Rose Pictures, I accepted Miller's invitation without hesitation."

Tang En pondered for a while, and then smiled~www.wuxiaspot.com~ That would be great. If the film can have you and Mel as partners, I believe that there will be a fiery spark. "

Hilary Swank's eyes lit up, "So... I got this role?"

She doesn't usually participate in some entertainment and social activities, but Dunn's reputation is also roaring.

Tang En said with a smile: "Of course! My opinion and George's coincide!"

George Miller finally let go of his dangling heart and showed a satisfied smile.

He was afraid that Dunn would send him an inexplicable vase actor to be the heroine, then he would collapse.

Thankfully, with the help of Mel Gibson, everything went smoothly!

At this time, Tang En suddenly said: "However, since it's a commercial movie, a vase is essential. Isn't there a lot of beautiful female slaves in the movie 'Undead Joe'? I happen to know some Victoria's Secret angel supermodels. Make them a cameo."

George Miller's face changed, quite helpless, "Okay... okay, no problem!"

Only then did Dunn show a satisfied expression and said, "Okay, Catherine and Grant are both over there, let's talk."

At this time, his eyes were very keen to find that Reese Witherspoon was also present.

She is now not only an actor, but has transformed from a secretary to a producer, and is also a management of Rose Pictures. This year, she also participated in the production of "Gone Lover" as Katherine Kennedy's assistant.

Tang En walked over enthusiastically, whispered to her, and then the two quietly slipped out of the reception hall.

Go straight down the cabin, get into the submarine, and see the underwater world.

Do you really see the underwater world?

Certainly not so boring.

After playing the machine shock, the car shock, the ship shock, and playing the submarine sea shock is also very exciting...
