Chapter 146

Hello, Clark, take whatever seat you want.

Pointing to the chair in the tent, and after Captain Clark Lewis from the Marine Corps sat down, Duke's eyes turned back to the dozen or so actors sitting in front of them, who would star in Saving Private Ryan Virtue The most important military role on both sides.

His eyes swept over these people, except for Tom Hanks who played Captain Miller, the other actors were completely different from those in the impression, not counting Leonardo DiCaprio's words, these people There is no such thing as ever famous.

However, Duke doesn't care. The fact that these actors can stand out from the two rounds of audition is enough to prove that they have the most basic qualities. What they lack is the most important opportunity. Maybe this movie can change the fate of some of them.

The negotiation with Tom Hanks was able to reach an agreement so quickly, which was somewhat beyond Duke's expectations. The early contact between Charles Rowan and Robin Grande and Eno Martin was extremely difficult. The $10,000 base salary was not relentless, which led Duke to want to give up Tom Hanks for a time, and even thought about a replacement - Liam Neeson, who played Oscar Schindler.

I don't know how the news spread to Eno Martin's ears. This senior agent is obviously a smart man. He probably guessed the reason why Duke wanted to give up. After consulting Tom Hanks, he changed the salary. For the 1+2 mode.

The half-reduced base salary was already within Duke's expectations. He naturally had no reason to object, but he was stuck with the producer. In just a few days of see-saw negotiations, all parties made certain decisions. Compromise, Tom Hanks' remuneration was finally determined to be 12 million US dollars plus 15% of the film's revenue share.

Any actor or director, with enough capital, will try their best to strive for their own interests within the scope of reasonableness and legality. Tom Hanks can sign this contract, and it has nothing to do with the director being Duke. After all, his first few movies have brought huge profits, and it is not a bad thing to increase the proportion of shares.

With the exception of Tom Hanks, the personal remunerations of the other actors have all been compressed within $1 million.

From today, you must become well-trained soldiers as soon as possible.

Calling this meeting, Duke emphasized this point, he introduced, This is Captain Clark Lewis from the Marine Corps, who will be training you for the next twenty days, during which you have to forget about yourselves. The actor's identity is commensurate with the names of the characters they play, and they learn military common sense.

These actors looked at each other, and they all nodded seriously when they saw Tom Hanks, the biggest player.

Duke continued, You're going to learn how to use WWII weapons, simple melee and individual tactics, and the code and sign language of the military during WWII.

Military training is more than just talking. In the next 20 days, Tom Hanks, including Tom Hanks, will not only have to temporarily live in tents, but also have to go on a rapid march every day. The basic food for each meal is mainly canned military food. .

If you want to shoot a classic war movie with a distinctive documentary style, rather than a pure popcorn movie, from the director to the actors to every member of the crew, you need to put in a lot of effort, and want to shoot Independence Day together. It's relatively easy to complete, and you don't have to think about it.

At the end of the meeting, when the actors walked out, Duke stopped Leonardo DiCaprio and pointed to his long blond hair, Leo, cut it as soon as possible!

The Duke now is far from the Duke he was when he faced Keanu Reeves. Leonardo, who was also young and vigorous, nodded quickly, I promise, it will be cut before the military training starts tomorrow.

Turning around and walking out, he was muttering, I heard that there is a French beauty in the crew next to me, and I still want to date her...

After Leonardo left, only Duke and Tom Hanks were left in the tent. The two simply said hello, and at the same time, they left the tent and walked towards an old-fashioned jeep. The press officer of the crew and the cameraman The teacher has been waiting here for a long time.

Yes, Duke came to take a photo with Tom Hanks. This is not for commemoration, but to cooperate with the pre-promotion of the film.

While Duke is busy, the pre-publicity of Saving Private Ryan is also proceeding in an orderly manner, especially since the film is invested by Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox and Walt Disney, even if Disney has not yet become a media giant in the future. , but under the circumstance that all parties invested certain publicity resources, it still created a lot of momentum for the film.

Saving Private Ryan, Duke Rosenberg's war masterpiece, the most authentic D-Day landing in history...

After blowing up North America, Duke Rosenberger, the exploding maniac, turns his attention to Europe!

The media under the three parties have created momentum for the film, especially after the photo of Duke and Hanks was published in the newspaper, they have intensified their publicity efforts.

Oscar winner Tom Hanks joins forces with Duke Rosenberg to create an epic war masterpiece.

Duke Rosenberg called Tom Hanks his most admired and admired actor, and 'Saving Private Ryan' will be an epic collaboration.

Tom Hanks said in an interview that he is a loyal Duke Rosenberg fan and has always wanted to work with him on an adrenaline-pumping movie, and Saving Private Ryan has fulfilled his dream .

According to the propaganda news reports, Duke and Tom Hanks are definitely life confidants. Of course, this is only for propaganda needs. The relationship between the two is not bad or good. It is just a simple cooperation.

After Independence Day, just like Steven Spielberg, Duke gradually started his own directorial brand, and he also had a large number of people who liked his films. Although the specific content of the film was not reported, Saving the Privates The name Ryan still left a certain impression on the potential audience, especially during the promotion, the producer and distributor obviously used their brains and automatically ignored the rescue, but shouted hard that this is a hot and exciting war movie. !

Looking at the whole of Hollywood, is there any director who dares to say that shooting explosion scenes can surpass Duke?

On the Internet that is gradually emerging, the comments on a movie-related website can be said to be the general recognition of Duke by movie fans. Continuing to use the explosion as a propaganda point in the early stage will naturally bring about a greater impact.

What's more, the publicity also caught another blockbuster point, Tom Hanks' box office appeal, and now it's another Tom.

Some people sing popular, and naturally some people sing bad. Duke has risen rapidly in recent years. While gaining benefits, it must have harmed the interests of many people. Those whose interests have been harmed by him will of course not watch Duke continue to grow. success.

Especially the group of professional film critics, if there is a movie, if one person can inspire this group to share the same hatred, it must be Independence Day and Duke.

From the Independence Day holiday to the present, the critics have attacked Duke and Independence Day fiercely, and how ferocious the film has been at the global box office. They have used almost all derogatory words and even launched personal attacks. , but couldn't stop Duke's progress in the slightest, watching him break one North American box office record after another, standing in the top ranks of commercial directors, and exposing their inability to intervene in the summer in a very mocking way Stall Market Facts!

How many people in the world like Duke's movies, and professional film critics hate Duke so much. Even if they lose the war on public opinion, even if Duke is too lazy to pay attention to them, the film critics mentioned Independence Day. , he would grit his teeth and shout that this is a rotten film that can't be rotten any more.

After all, the two sides are not only a battle of morale, but also a battle of interests.

Professional film critics in North America have been waiting for the moment of counterattack. The pre-publicity of Saving Private Ryan has just been launched, and film critics have criticized the film in their columns.

It's not enough for Duke Rosenberg to scourge North America, and then he went to ravage Europe. He filmed the related themes of the Normandy landing? It was a disaster bigger than Nazi Germany breaking the Maginot Line. We can fully imagine, When the Allied landing was blocked, the spaceship suddenly fell from the sky and attacked the German coastal fortifications, and the entire Normandy beach was turned into ruins in a shocking explosion!

Not only Duke, but also Tom Hanks, who cooperated with Duke, was affected.

It can be seen from the past few works that Duke Rosenberg has a special ability, he can pull the actors with excellent acting skills down to the same level as him. When the film is released next year, Tom Rosenberg will Hanks would be the most pathetic actor, Hanks fans, think about the tricks Duke Rosenberg used to do!

Maybe you will see in the film an atypical Tom Hanks with a steel helmet crooked and a cigar in his mouth, or maybe you will see him driving a landing craft to the beach alone, driving a Shell Mantanz smashed into Berlin in speeding cars and explosions, then tied Hitler to the Reichstag and sent him to hell with the most violent explosions!

God, this is absolutely an unimaginable disaster!

Zach Snyder, who was sitting opposite Duke, put down the newspaper and looked at him sympathetically. Duke turned a blind eye to his eyes and just slowly sipped a glass of wine.

This is a bar in Dublin, right next to the hotel they are staying in. It belongs to the high-end type and is relatively quiet. After returning to the hotel from the set, sometimes Duke will come to sit with a few members of the team. , the right should be to relax after a busy day.

What are you looking at, Duke?

Zack Snyder had already noticed that Duke's eyes would turn to a corner diagonally opposite from time to time. He turned his head and looked over there. There was a woman sitting there, a very beautiful woman who was very famous in Europe.
