MTL - You Made Me a Superstar-Chapter 506 behind the scenes
Chapter 506 Behind the scenes
In the training room.
Cruise and Trenster were still training hard.
When it was time to rest, I heard bursts of discussions outside the house.
After hearing the discussion, the two brothers rubbed the aching muscles all over their bodies, stood up, and walked out subconsciously.
After waiting outside, the two heard a shocking news.
The heroine of "Spider-Man" was originally supposed to be Belinda, the heroine of "American Gangster History", and she was about to sign a contract, but a sudden change occurred.
"Ten million dollars? Belinda is crazy! How can she get such a high salary?"
"It wasn't what she wanted, but what her mother Kardashian wanted. I heard that a director offered Belinda $10 million. She chose "Spider-Man" and that movie..."
"How is that possible? Ten million dollars? Even if Belinda is popular, it's not so popular, right? It's almost close to a first-tier Hollywood artist!" With wide eyes, he looked at Li Qiang, the crew leader of "Spider-Man" in disbelief.
Li Qiang smiled bitterly, then shook his head: "We have persuaded it, but it is useless, Kardashian is sure that her daughter Belinda can get a salary of 10 million US dollars, and it is directed by Delson's "Variation" ", it's a big-budget movie..."
"Dellson gone crazy?"
In this world, there will always be some ridiculous things happening.
Trenster and Cruise both suspect that Belinda's mother has a brain problem and can't tell their own position.
The two of them didn't take it seriously, and continued to practice basic skills according to their usual projects.
If you don’t play the heroine in a movie, you will always find someone to play the heroine.
The world can't revolve around you alone, can it?
By the evening, both of them were exhausted and paralyzed. After returning to the dormitory provided by the crew, they heard some gossip in the crew.
The film "History of American Gangsters" was in a good situation. The international film circle is almost like a word-of-mouth explosion. It should have made great progress and was popular in major theaters or video sites in the United States. A screening room was willing to take over the film. In addition, a series of broadcast rights sold overseas by the company suddenly became cold. In addition to the broadcast rights sold, film companies from all over the world who were negotiating the copyright gave up the introduction of this film one after another. There are various reasons. Some feel that although the film has a good reputation, it is too long, some feel that the funds are not enough, and some feel that the conditions are not negotiable.
By the evening, all kinds of bad news appeared from the crew of "Spider-Man".
I had invited some actors from "American Gangster History" to participate in "Spider-Man". Originally, they promised well, and followed the crew to prepare for various movies, but suddenly regretted leaving the group.
There are various reasons…
Some people said that they auditioned for "Alteration" and gave up "Spider-Man" after weighing it, some said that they were not feeling well, and some even said that they were allergic to spiders...
In just a few hours, the entire cast of "Spider-Man" has left a quarter of the cast. Of the cast members of "History of American Gangsters" that were invited before, only Mr. Anthony is still tossing around in the cast, and the others are a little more famous. The actors are all gone.
"Someone is moving SKY behind your back?"
"Um."
Cruise and Trenster are not fools. Through some phenomena, they quickly realized that Hollywood seems to be targeting "History of American Gangsters", no, it should not be against "History of American Gangsters", but against Zhou Yang movie of.
In the early morning, the two of them were lying in the two bathtubs of the dormitory, soaking themselves in hot water, and discussing today's events.
After chatting for a while…
Cruise's phone rang.
He subconsciously stood up and went to the side to answer the phone.
"Hey…"
"Hello, is this Mr. Cruise?"
"Yes, may I ask who you are..."
"I'm DV Company, the casting director of "King Kong Tiger", Tony Oman..."
"Huh?" Cruise was shocked when he heard the other party's name, and then he spoke with a trembling voice.
"Yesterday, we watched your "The Chainsaw", we think your acting in this film is very inspiring, and it fits an important role in our film very well, I wonder if you are free tomorrow to audition ?"
"..." Cruise felt his head buzzing, and he didn't know how to respond for a long time.
"Relax, Mr. Cruise, we are not scam calls. "King Kong Tiger" is adapted from the comic book "King Kong Tiger" of the same name. DV is going to invest 200 million US dollars to make this movie..."
On the phone, the other party gushed out a series of generous conditions, like a pie falling from the sky, smashing Cruise to the core.
After the phone call in a daze, Cruise felt extremely unreal, and his heart flew uncontrollably to the "King Kong Tiger" crew.
Then, the ringing of Trenster's phone woke Cruise from the surprise and excitement. He saw Trenster holding the phone. He was puzzled at first, then suddenly surprised and told himself excitedly that he After receiving the invitation of "Alteration", he will play the role second only to the protagonist in it, and after the salary exceeded 10 million US dollars, Cruise suddenly calmed down.
"Are we really going to leave the "Spider-Man" crew? Is it possible, I said is it possible, they just want us to leave the "Spider-Man" crew?"
"Ten million dollars in salary!"
"Can we really get a salary of 10 million dollars? Why do we get a salary of 10 million dollars? The only work we can get is "The Chainsaw", you really believe that we are in "The Chainsaw" The performance was very good, and then the other party took a fancy to us?"
His sudden question stunned Trenster, who was so excited that he couldn't be more excited, then frowned, and finally fell into an extremely dilemma.
………………
Late at night.
In the office, Zhou Yang still didn't sleep.
Next door, Xu Mei was on the phone and kept chatting with the copyright dealer about various copyright issues of "American Gangster History", but it was obvious that the chat was not very successful, and the screening rights in all aspects had been cold.
If "American Gangster History" can't sell more copyrights, the film can only rely on pure box office to maintain the cost, but it is very difficult to make money.
Early morning.
Xu Mei walked in with the phone wearily.
Zhou Yang has never seen Xu Mei fail and setback like this.
"I have talked to Christian, and Christian has talked to the director of "Alteration" and the director of "King Kong Tiger", and the other party is not an adult who is hollowing out us, just saying that it is more suitable for actors, I hope the actors themselves Election... However, because of the non-disclosure agreement and the fact that some ordinary actors who left did not have the script, the script of "Spider-Man" has not been leaked, but generally many people know about the movie "American Gangster History". Who the **** took it..." Xu Mei lowered her head and sighed.
"I can't hide this in itself. If I really want to investigate, I can still investigate..." Zhou Yang was not shocked when he heard the news, he just nodded: "But even if they know, these people won't publicize it with great fanfare. Going out, it will only be suppressed behind the scenes, so that the influence of "American Gangster History" will be less..."
"Why do you say that?" Xu Mei raised her head subconsciously.
"If such a blockbuster movie with such a thorough understanding of American history is advertised as being made by Chinese people, isn't that advertising the movie? Indirectly let Zheng make a name?"
"Well, that's right." Xu Mei nodded: "Mr. Zhou, what should we do now?"
"Today is too late, you should go to rest first, and talk about it tomorrow." Zhou Yang smiled after seeing Xu Mei's haggard expression.
"I can't sleep. This is really bullying. We haven't even filmed Spider-Man yet, so we joined forces to suppress us. Haha, is this the so-called freedom, democracy, openness, and tolerance?" Xu Mei said more and more Angrily, he clenched his fists for a while.
"But at the same time, Laomei is a capitalist country, and those old directors in Huaxia are not willing to be divided, let alone Laomei's side..."
"However, "Spider-Man" can move anyone's cake, and no one is optimistic about "Spider-Man". Everyone regards this movie as a joke, and the size of this movie is too small, which is similar to "King Kong Tiger". It's completely incomparable to a big sci-fi movie like "Alteration", Mr. Zhou, don't you think this is too abnormal? I've never heard of squeezing an ant to death, and having so many people work together... This is obviously someone who is deliberately targeting us and wants us to die..." Xu Mei suddenly became more anxious after seeing that Zhou Yang's expression did not change.
Zhou Yang listened to Xu Mei's words, but did not say a word, and did not refute anything.
After a long time, Xu Mei said that she was tired and sat down on the chair panting, but the more she gasped, the more fierce she was. It was obvious that she could not hold back this grievance.
Zhou Yang fell into deep thought, and countless characters appeared in his mind.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I can't think of who is behind the scenes...
Wait till morning...
Zhou Yang, who stayed up all night, received a call from Zheng Jun.
"Mr. Zhou...Is it convenient to speak now?"
"Convenient, what's wrong?"
"I want to talk to you, Fox offered me a great deal and invited me to direct their new movie..."
"Oh?" Zhou Yang frowned deeply when he heard this.
"At the same time, I received an immigration invitation from Laomei, saying that someone introduced me to them and they were willing to immigrate to me... In other words, as long as I wanted, I could get Laomei's green card..."
"You want to immigrate?"
"I don't want to, but this is a bit weird... I suddenly thought of a person just now..."
"Who?"
"Zhao Sicheng..."
