On the "Devil's Island" not far from the San Francisco Bay Area, Jerry Brookheimer led him to help Wu Xiaozu prepare the "Zuan Team" at the survey and shooting site.
Soundtrack Master Lie Han, action guide Yuan Kui, editor Lee Smith, live deputy director Kenny Bates, Lin Chaoxian—
“Tututu…”
Two black AH-6 gunships in the air were hovering in the air. Director Wu Xiaozu led executive director Blasting Bee and photography director John Thor and Bao Xi to take pictures in a helicopter and determine the shot of the camera.
I have to say that for the sake of the movie, Brother Zu has also made his best efforts...
At first, he refused to take a helicopter over the air... This thing has a good safety factor, but the Cauliflower Snake, whom he liked very much in his previous life, left a shadow on him.
However, after repeated assertions from the explosion, he also took a helicopter to survey the landscape with fear.
no way.
Use money to do business.
This time, Wu Xiaozu received a $350,000 salary from the producer + a $4.65 million director's salary + a 3.5% box office profit share.
This treatment is also considered a first-line director in Hollywood.
It cannot be compared with Lucas and Spielberg's super first-line directors, but it is basically the same as James Cameron's pay at this time.
In "Terminator 2", which was released last year, the director's salary of the truck driver was 6 million US dollars, but there was no share.
In fact, he first had a net profit share in the box office.
Later, because the investment in "Terminator 2" exceeded nearly 10%, his box office share was cancelled on the contract.
Therefore, it is actually a routine operation for truck drivers to miss their tickets.
At this time, he was still a silly figure.
The big ship in the future forced Paramount and Fox to borrow money from the bank many times... The project almost aborted.
Some companies and directors will postpone the vote and shoot classic blockbusters across the era, while others... It's better not to say "The Investiture of the Gods Trilogy". (I especially hope I will be slapped in the face! Don't expect to sue Yan Zu in the film.)
Wu Xiaozu signed such a large pay contract, so it is understandable that he is dedicated to boarding an armed helicopter to survey the landscape.
Capitalists’ money is not that easy to get.
Jerry Brookheimer took out such a large amount of money, so naturally Wu Xiaozu needed to correct his professional attitude.
He is not a scam.
"I have communicated with Sean Connery's agent in the actors, and he is very interested in this project."
Getting off the helicopter, Jerry took the initiative to talk to Wu Xiaozu about the candidates for the movie characters.
Not unexpectedly.
Although Nicholas Cage performed well in "Pulp Novel" and had a high box office in the movie, his ability to "hold" the box office has not been truly verified.
Such an A-level production naturally requires stars with real commercial appeal to withstand the box office.
Sean Connery, the ex 007, is undoubtedly very suitable for the character arrangement in the movie.
And the price is appropriate.
This drama is actually a commercial film without a clear villain, so it requires very high ability to dispatch the director's group portrait.
Fortunately, Wu Xiaozu's group portraits have always been very high, and shooting group scenes is also his specialty.
"What about the actress?"
"Do you have any suggestions?" Wen Xianzhi Yayi, and when he heard Wu Xiaozu's concern about this issue, Jerry Brookheimer asked back.
"No, this is not a question I care about."
Wu Xiaozu smiled, "What's more, there are not many female scenes in this drama. I think, for business reasons, we can find a vase that is beautiful enough to decorate the house. A big-name actress may not be able to watch this role, but if there are enough gimmicks, I think someone will be interested..."
"I will consider your opinion." Jerry Brookheimer nodded, and he naturally understood what Wu Xiaozu said.
However, seeing that the other party did not extend too much about the actor's problems, he also nodded secretly.
Obviously, Wu Xiaozu had a clear understanding of his positioning.
The female characters in "Brave the Deadly Island" are indeed nothing but two characters: "Stanley's girlfriend" and "Mason's daughter".
Besides, there is no need for him to give favors for such a role, right?
On the contrary, if the character is eye-catching enough, he doesn't mind introducing Monica...
As for Sophie Marceau and Ajani, they don’t like such roles.
But the reason why Wu Xiaozu asked was mainly because he hoped that Jerry Brookheimer could take it seriously. With his connections, it was not difficult to find a celebrity with some fame.
Who dislikes the few stars in their movies?
After all, this is Wu Xiaozu's first attempt at a Hollywood A-level production, so he naturally hopes to get more cards in his hand.
Compared with the centralization of Hong Kong Island production, the Hollywood producer system invisibly limits the director's power.
But for such industrialized movies, this is the standardized process in Hollywood. I believe that this gold medal producer will also build a good enough lineup for him to perform.
This is the indispensable link and process that Wu Xiaozu has to go through in Hollywood.
At the same time, he is also actively learning and ingesting nutrients.
...
Hong Kong Island Noon Sunshine Film and Television Production Company, staff come in and out, and several working groups are busy with different projects.
"Meteor Garden" is popular throughout Asia, with the prices of second and third rounds rising.
This also made the entire company proud.
Although "The Legend of the New White Snake" and "The King of Drama" are also very successful, they are not considered to be independently produced by Noon Sunshine. However, "Meteor Garden" is different. This is a project they produce and sell.
It also directly created a distinctive "Idol Drama" routine category. "Meteor Garden 2" has been directly launched and has entered the stage of filming preparations.
At the same time, the prototypes of the other idol dramas are also being created.
However, in addition to idol dramas, another TV series that the company attaches most importance to is the shining star-studded "Sex and the City".
All those who have watched the sample highly praised this movie.
This TV series is a work with a movie texture. At the same time, the performance of this drama also determines the company's next resource tilt for "workplace dramas".
"Director Wang..."
"Hello Director Wang."
Many people saw a "good man" coming over and greeted him warmly. Wang Jiawei responded with a smile and nodded one by one, walked to the office and knocked on the door.
"Please come in..."
Le Yiling raised her head and saw Wang Jiawei walking in, smiling, "Director Wang is here, please sit down. "Sex and the City" is the opening drama of ATV next year, and you need to cooperate with the recording of the program in advance. Thank you for your hard work..."
Looking up and down at him, seeing his dusty attitude, he said with concern: "I heard that Director Wang was filming in mainland China, and it did not delay your shooting process, right?"
"No, I just happened to get off the plane and come back to do something." Wang Jiawei waved his hand quickly, quite restrained, and wanted to speak but stopped.
"What's wrong? Director Wang?"
"That... I just want to ask about my salary... Can you help me with it in advance..." Wang Jiawei said stutteringly.
"This? No problem, I'll let the finance department step up the review and call you." Le Yiling smiled when she heard this.
The two of them exchanged a few greetings, and she watched each other leave.
After thinking about it, I picked up the phone and called Jiang Zhiqiang.
Locomotive Entertainment is so bullying? Is its director doing so miserable? Is it not paying for wages?
Wang Jiawei walked out of Noon Sunshine Company, observed left and right, and waved to the taxi secretly.
At this moment, several young and dandy boys rushed over across the street.
"Director Wang, long time no see you!!"
With a bang, the young and dandy pressed the car door and looked at Wang Jiawei with a pale face with a smile, "You won't say hello to us this time, right?"
The taxi driver looked at this scene and ignored Wang Jiawei and drove away with a kick to the accelerator.
Obviously, I don't want to cause trouble.
"That...some people..."
"Bang--"
The young and dandy punched Director Wang in the stomach, and directly arched his body in pain into a cooked prawn.
"take away!"
Several people carried Wang Jiawei away.
On the other hand, Boss Jiang, who received the call from Le Yiling, was also inexplicably surprised.
Chapter completed!
