Vol 3 Chapter 748: Little plum joins

"Hollywood starts with animation (

The news of the rapid establishment of "Infernal Walker" shocked everyone in Hollywood. However, after a little inquiries about the news, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Award-winning movie?"

"Oh, that's not a big deal anymore!"

"Yes, what we were worried about before was that Wald Pictures would make another commercial production. If that were the case, we would definitely be worried. Now, it's just a prize-winning movie."

The Hollywood counterparts are always worried about commercial blockbusters such as "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter", which are reaping hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, which will greatly affect the box office performance of their respective film companies.

Award-winning movie?

OR literary movies?

Haha, Hollywood film companies don’t worry about it unless necessary, because most of the literary and award-winning movies are really losing money, and they don’t sell money!

however!

"Who said that the award-winning movie "Infernal Walker" is a purely literary and artistic film? It is a crime-themed movie. Although it is not an out-and-out commercial blockbuster, it is definitely a sharp action and highly observable. Movies that are compatible with commercial and literary attributes!"

"Box office, I want it!"

"Award, I want too!"

Zhu Ke looked at the reports of many media and newspapers, and he was so heroic right now!

With Zhuke's will, the entire Wald Film Industry is like a huge machine that is tightly connected, and it is moving at an unimaginable speed.

Directors, producers, camera crews, makeup crews, main actors... all departments act quickly and strive to start shooting as quickly as possible.

"For the double male host selection of "Infinite Walker", the boss directly appointed Leonardo and Matt Damon. First of all, Matt Damon is interested in participating in the performance. The contract is being negotiated with his agent. However, Lai The desire of Leonardo to appear is not high."

On this day, Wald Pictures is holding a meeting.

Kevin Fitch frowned and said: "Leonardo, he is indeed a bit difficult to deal with, but logically speaking, this is the project that the BOSS personally finalized. Shouldn't Leonardo just refuse to play?"

He was very puzzled.

Similarly, many executives of Wald Pictures are also puzzled. After all, the name of their own boss is now the golden sign of Hollywood. For the vast majority of actors, even the most popular Hollywood stars, they also have a great deal. Appeal.

Why did he refuse?

And still that resolute.

"Ahem!"

The company’s vice president and head of the production department, Gavin O’Connor, cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: “After Leonardo refused, I went to meet in person yesterday, and he told me that he didn’t want to repeat the role. The same type of role."

The voice fell.

many people:"......."

"No wonder!"

At this moment, an executive couldn’t help but said: “As far as I know, "New York, produced by Miramax Films, Daniel Day Lewis, and Leonardo DiCaprio" "The Gangster", which was filmed just a month ago, is expected to be released during the Christmas season this year. This movie is somewhat similar to "Infernal Walker" with similar roles."

In an instant, many people suddenly realized.

"That's it."

"I also understand. Although Leonardo made his debut as a child star and later became a global hit of "Titanic", he is a very aspiring actor, and he rarely plays the same type of role."

"Understand, understand, but what about our task?"

"That's right, I invited Leonardo to play the male number one, but the boss appointed it. We didn't complete the task. How do we explain it to the boss?"

"Could it be possible for the boss to invite him personally? In this way, what kind of face do we have?"

For a time, many people frowned.

This is a big-name actor!

Looking at Hollywood as a whole, it is something that many people dream of to be able to appear in Wald Pictures. Don’t you see these days, well-known brokerage companies such as CAA, William Morris and Innovative Brokerage have tirelessly recommended their own actor.

but!

Some of the most popular and top film actors have a very high status, and they have the qualifications to have equal dialogue with film companies, or even more than one. Among these actors, Leonardo is definitely one of them.

"This, this, this is a bit difficult!" An executive couldn't help but say.

"I have a way."

At this moment, Alexander, who was a former assistant, suddenly spoke out.

For a while, all eyes of the audience focused on him. It's no wonder that he has a high status, but after all, he has just joined Wald Pictures recently, and he has been very low-key in recent days.

Kevin Fitch: "Alexander, there is a good way, just talk about it."

"Yes!"

Gavin O'Connor also asked anxiously: "Man, if you have something to say quickly, we are all dying in a hurry."

Then Alexander said: "Martin Scorsese!"

——Martin Scorsese!

Just uttering a person's name made everyone in the entire conference room suddenly realize.

Xiao Lizi is very popular. He is not ashamed to face any film company in Hollywood. Many film company producers love and hate him, but this is not absolute. At least one person can handle him, and that person is the well-known director Martin. Scorsese~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The relationship between Comrade Ma and Xiao Li is absolutely good!

"New York Gangs", "Aviator", "Bounded Island", "Wolf of Wall Street" and so on, the two collaborated works are also countless!

Of course, even these film collaborations, most of them are stories after 2002, but for now, the relationship between Lao Ma and Xiao Lizi is very ironic.

"In a word, if you fix old Martin and let him be the director, then Leonardo will do it too!" Alexander said loudly.

.......

Wald Pictures first invited Martin Scorsese to be the director of "The Infinite Walker" with a director's salary of 7 million US dollars.

Although it is not as good as Cameron, Peter Jackson, and others who can earn tens of millions of dollars in director's pay, in 2002, this was definitely the pay standard of Hollywood's first-line directors.

In 2016, director Patty Jenkins, who directed the film "Wonder Woman", only paid 1 million US dollars;

In 2018, she directed "Wonder Woman 2", and the pay was only $7 million.

Therefore, Wald Pictures invited Martin to be the director this time, and the pay is really not low, not counting the inflation factor.

As expected...

When the old Martin, on behalf of Wald Pictures, personally invited Xiao Lizi, he really got it done.

Moreover, it only took 10 minutes.

This made the executives of Wald Pictures both happy and sad.

Kevin Fitch couldn't help smiling wryly: "We invited him back and forth for more than ten days, and Leonardo didn't agree, but the old Martin made it in 10 minutes."
