Chapter 153: "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" Main Character Selection
Thanks to the popularity of the movie "Titanic" in the global market, James Cameron, as the director of the film, has a reputation that has broken through the sky!
In recent interviews in a number of media newspapers, he walked a little erratic.
After all, the box office performance of the movie completely exceeded his previous expectations.
"what?"
"You said that my blade is rumored to wipe your neck if it fails at the box office?!"
"Man, are you kidding me?"
"As the director of "Tantenic", I certainly believe that my movie will succeed. I am Cameron! Man, don't forget, when I filmed "Terminator 1", I received less cynicism. ?"
"Therefore, in recent months, I don't care about the pressure from the media, theaters, and producers. These will turn into the driving force for me to move forward!"
"I had expected the box office to explode!"
I have to say that if you don't have a good eloquence in Hollywood, you can't be a director. Otherwise, you can't stand the run on the media.
Cameron has gone through several months of downturn and media ridicule. Now that the box office of the movie has exploded, he is naturally going to cry.
Don't be surprised!
Even if he is a world-famous director, he is alone!
Moreover, he touted these at the moment is also for the sake of movie box office considerations.
Is it now necessary to tell the media reporters and movie audiences that the box office explosion is an accident nowadays?
To tell the truth in this case, a part of the box office will inevitably be lost!
Even if Cameron agreed, Paramount and 20th Century Fox, as producers, would not let him do this!
What to do now
Blow it and it's over!
Therefore, when Cameron is interviewed by the media at this moment, he will say that he has no pressure at all. It was not until 1999 when Cameron became famous that he frankly said that he was under great pressure at the time and almost crushed him; he also frankly said that he had not expected to get appalling box office results, and he was ready to go to work as a truck driver. The old profession of profession.
In the original time and space history, "Titanic" has won the North American box office championship for 15 consecutive weeks, with a global box office of more than 1.8 billion US dollars, which is definitely a miracle.
Zhu Ke invested US$85 million to obtain 25% of "Titanic" revenue, including the final box office dividends of the production company, and dividends from the peripheral, DVD and video tape markets.
There is no doubt that Zhu Ke's investment has made a lot of money!
.......
At the end of February 1998.
The preparatory work for the film "300 Spartan" has been successfully completed, and the selection of the main role has been officially announced.
Zach Schneider served as the director of the film;
Zhu Ke, who had been idle for two months, personally served as the producer of the film;
Kevin Fitch, the vice president of Wald Pictures, also served as the second producer of the film, and made every effort to ensure the smooth progress of the film.
In fact, long before the casting of "Spartan 300 Warriors" was announced, many brokerage companies in Hollywood received the news and began to contact Wald Pictures to fight for their own artists and actors.
"Juneo", "Human Elimination Project", "Sixth Sense of Supernatural"...
Although Wald Pictures hasn't been established for a long time, who made Zhu Ke as the boss the man who opened the door? In recent years, he has produced and released many high-grossing movies. Now that a new film is about to start, how can it not attract the attention of actors from all walks of life in Hollywood?
The production cost of "Spartan 300 Warriors" is as high as 60 million US dollars, which is the highest single-film production cost of Wald Pictures since its establishment.
Even if you look at the entire Hollywood at such a large scale of production costs, it is not comparable to the six major first-line productions in Hollywood, and it is also the best in the second-line production.
How can those actors be reserved?
This is a great opportunity for coffee rank promotion.
Wald Pictures is not an obscure film company now!
It is under the six major Hollywood, second only to the existence of several film and television companies such as DreamWorks, Touchstone, and New Line Pictures, and has a distribution network throughout the United States.
.......
CAA brokerage company.
"Darren, the hero of "Spartan 300", it's me!"
Matt Damon stared at his agent, Darren Scotty, and warned: "Don't mess up this time, after all, we have missed it once."
"I know."
The agent Darren nodded heavily.
Matt Damon actually regrets it!
You should know that in early 1996, when Zucker founded Wald Pictures and acted as the director and started filming "Lola Run" in person, he invited Matt Damon to serve as the leading actor in the film. However, because the CAA brokerage company strongly wanted to take the leading position of the film and packaged other roles, it directly led to the collapse of the two.
Since then, Zhuke skipped the CAA agency when he chose multiple film actors.
"You are a small film company that has just been established, do you really regard yourself as a god?!"
"Rookie director, haha~!"
This is the rhetoric made by the agent Darren in Wald Pictures.
This move offended Wald Pictures and Zucker himself.
But offend you offend!
Matt Damon and his agent Darren Scotty didn't care at all. Is it like an elephant needs to care about ants that can be trampled to death at any time?
however......
However, now Wald Pictures has been promoted to a well-known Hollywood second-tier film company. As the boss, Zhu Ke is a shareholder of many well-known listed companies and has a net worth of more than one billion US dollars.
The status is overturned!
Matt Damon, who looks dull, but is actually extremely shrewd, has long wanted to ease the relationship. Now that he has heard that "Spartan 300 Warriors" has started casting roles, where can he sit still?
"Even if I can't win the actor and main role of this movie, but I took the initiative to appear at the casting scene, and I was able to send a message of apology to Mr. Wald.
I have to say that Matt Damon is savvy enough, and thief enough.
In other words, no one who can succeed in Hollywood is an idiot! Even the lucky ones who have gained power for a while, if they are not shrewd enough, they will be eliminated quickly.
.......
William Morris Brokerage Company.
"Jacques, you have worked with Wald Pictures several times. This time they are about to start filming "Spartan 300 Warriors", a film with an investment of up to 60 million U.S. dollars. We said nothing should be missed. Anchidi Dormond said excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Jacques Phoenix nodded heavily.
Although he is young, he is not stupid. Otherwise, how would he cooperate with Wald Pictures for many films when others are not optimistic about Wald Pictures.
Leading actor in "Fatal Turn 1";
The villain of the "Human Removal Project";
Jacques Phoenix has collaborated with Wald Pictures in many films, which is his advantage.
The agent Anchidi Domond said again: "I have seen the introduction of the movie. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com actor King Leonida needs a more mature and muscular actor to play it. We have nothing to play. . But for the male second and male third of the film, we can fight for it. After all, this is a film with a production cost of 60 million US dollars."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Jackie Phoenix responded.
.......
at the same time.
After learning that the "Spartan 300 Warriors" produced by Wald Pictures was about to start casting roles, the major economic companies started to take action.
The actor and heroine Leonidas and the heroine Leonidas, these two roles are the top priority for them!
It has to be said that Wald Pictures has sincerely developed and grown. From the initial initiative to invite actors, they are often rejected, and it has become a situation where actors are swarming.
"" The first update is sent.
