Chapter 734: Wicked(1/2)
[Some content in the previous chapter has been modified.]
Warner President's Office.
"Qin, please wait a moment and smoke a cigar. The secretary will bring over the script of [Doomsday Collapse] soon."
Barry Meyer stretched out his hand to signal Qin Dong to sit down while cutting a cigar.
"There's no rush. Anyway, the new movie still needs a few days to shoot the location scenes. I won't go there in person."
Qin Dong smiled and said very leisurely.
Originally, Qin Dong planned to go back to the manor after watching the new movie props and costumes, waiting for Martin to come over.
But Qin Dong thought of Lin Yuner.
Qin Dong personally brought this woman from Bangzi Kingdom.
But in addition to asking CAA to arrange some supporting roles, Qin Dong's last movie only gave him a small supporting role with a one-minute role.
And since that time Taylor came back and took Lin Yoona away, Qin Dong only saw Yoona when he was filming his own movie, and was too busy at other times to see anyone.
A bit left out.
He neglected his own woman, and this woman's first time was taken by him.
As a man who considers himself gentle and loving, Qin Dong couldn't bear it.
So after seeing the props, Barry invited Qin Dong to do it, and Qin Dong agreed, and Qin Dong asked to see the script of "Collapse".
Barry said before that today's audition for the actors and directors is almost the last, and it should be almost confirmed after about two auditions at most.
Once confirmed, we will start shooting.
It hasn't been cast yet, the actors haven't really been cast, and that's enough.
Evil person, Qin Dong doesn't mind being a evil person himself.
"Come, Qin."
Barry handed over the cigar, and the two of them lit it. After taking a puff, Barry asked:
"Qin, why do you want to read the script?"
"You're not trying to force actors in, are you?"
Regarding Qin Dong, Barry thought he knew a little bit about him.
This Chinese person usually doesn't do useless things.
Now for no reason, I have to read a script from Warner, or a filming location has been confirmed, and the actors and directors are auditioning at the end of time...
Then there must be something you want.
But this Chinese man is a genius himself, so what does he want?
Thinking about this, Barry realized it clearly.
In other words, most people in Hollywood can guess this situation at this moment. After all, Qin Dong's identity is outside and everyone knows it.
Leonardo DiCaprio is the number one playboy in the world who has replaced [Little Leo].
Women, Qin Dong must want to force women into the crew.
"If there is a suitable one, why not?"
Qin Dong shrugged and did not deny it.
"Actress?"
Barry held a cigar in his mouth and asked a nonsense question with a smile.
"Oh, Barry, do you think the actors I'm familiar with in Hollywood have different roles?"
Qin Dong did not answer directly, but asked a question.
"Hmm... I think about it... I don't think there are any. The actors you are familiar with are all superstars. Their fame may be declining, but there is no shortage of scripts."
Barry pretended to think about it for a moment and said this.
As a super director who is now famous all over the world, all major Hollywood companies, no matter how big or small, are paying attention to such a director.
After all, a director who is an all-round director, who can write scripts, direct, and make money is the kind of person that every major company wants to attract.
For a being of this level, it is basic common sense to pay attention to the other person and understand the other person's interpersonal relationships.
"Relax, Barry."
After Qin Dong blew out a puff of smoke, he comforted Barry:
"I can at most insert one or two actresses, um, if the role is suitable."
"The main frame will not change, and it will not delay Warner's plans."
We are almost finalizing the actors and director, and we are just waiting for the final decision to be made before filming begins.
It's really not a good idea to intervene at this time.
So Qin Dong knew for sure what he should do to make Barry and Warner less embarrassed.
"Haha...Okay, with this sentence, I feel relieved."
"If the role is suitable, Qin, you can choose whatever you want, and I promise to fully support you."
Barry said with a supportive face.
Since it won't affect Warner's original plan, then... does it matter just changing actors?
Sorry, it doesn't matter to Warner.
They are a film and television company, a production company, not an agency.
Anyway, when Warner makes movies, it always looks for actors from Hollywood agencies.
In Hollywood, an actor's agency contract belongs to the agency.
The law here stipulates that actors’ agency contracts cannot belong to film and television companies.
The rules here are different from those in China. Domestic film and television companies not only produce film and television dramas, but also control the actors' agency contracts.
The actors belong to major film and television companies.
"BOSS, Director Qin, here is the script."
After a while, Barry's secretary assistant came over with a script.
[The story of the film tells the story of nine large-scale earthquakes that occurred in California due to the San Andreas Fault.]
[Ray Gaines, a pilot in the Fire Department's Air Force Squadron, must fly between Los Angeles and San Francisco in an effort to find and rescue his daughter.]
[Lei drove to San Francisco. With a loud noise, the surrounding trees and telephone poles became twisted. Johnson, who braked to check the situation, was "shocked" by the sight in front of him: the road was covered by a bottomless road.
The cracks cut off or even dislocated, and the gas station was split into two halves facing each other across the "canyon".]
[As this super earthquake struck without warning, smoke billowed throughout the city, flames shot into the sky, high-rise buildings collapsed one after another, panicked citizens were everywhere, and the strong earthquake shattered the solid dam like a "destroying force"
, the floods surged like ferocious beasts into the already dire city, and the scene of "the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed" was like the "doomsday" had come]
Qin Dong quickly finished reading the script. After all, he didn't want to be the director of this drama. He didn't need to be picky. He was just pretending to understand the basic roles of the movie.
"Qin, here is a list of actors that the company has roughly decided on."
After seeing Qin Dong cover the script after reading it, Barry handed over a document.
Anyway, the actor's contract belongs to the agency, so Barry doesn't care at all. The main thing at this time is to satisfy Qin Dong.
"Oh, let me see."
Qin Dong took the cast list and looked through it.
In fact, this movie is dominated by male protagonists.
There is no such thing as a heroine, well, the heroine is at most a supporting role.
This is a doomsday movie, a special effects movie with very few actors.
There is mainly one male protagonist and five supporting characters, which make up this drama.
Male lead Ray: Warner confirmed that Dwayne Johnson will play the role.
The hero’s ex-wife Emma, the ex-wife’s current husband Daniel, and the hero’s daughter Blake.
She falls in love with a young character who is the hero's daughter. This young character also has a younger brother who is under ten years old.
"Alexandra Daddario..."
Seeing this name, Qin Dong fell silent.
From the list of actors provided by Warner, there is a high probability that Warner will eventually choose this woman to play the role of the hero's daughter.
The key is Alexandra Daddario, who is also the woman Qin Dong likes.
It's just that CAA is still struggling. After all, the Daddario family can be considered a political family in North America.
The family's energy in the political arena is neither big nor small.
