Chapter 960 (1/2)
Both sides politely knew that many people were staring at Simon, and Schwarzenegger didn't beat around the Bush and said, ”about terminator, Simon, I think $15 million is a sincere price. If danielis has other requirements, she can put forward them completely. There's no need to delay like this, isn't it?”
At present, the copyright of ”terminator” series is jointly owned by danielis and fox. Schwarzenegger wants to restart the series after the failure of ”evaporation secret order”. Reminded by girl a, Simon has decided to sell the shooting right by the time. Schwarzenegger wants to restart the series and can only buy the shooting right for a single time.
Even so, the price is not low at all. Before there was any trouble in France, the two sides had basically agreed on a price of US $15 million, which is equivalent to the top salary level of top Hollywood celebrities. With more than 500 million box office in the world and the popularity of Terminator 2, this price is not expensive, and it is a one-time buyout. Neither of the two major copyright owners will participate in any subsequent share.
The sudden shelving of this deal has nothing to do with Schwarzenegger. Standing in Simon's current position, he will not deliberately suppress any star unless there is a dispute outside the rules. Schwarzenegger brings this project, which is not too profitable but will occupy a lot of resources, to Disneyland, which is also in line with Simon's plan for other Hollywood studios. Therefore, he says, ”Arnold I don't have any problems here. You can contact Disney tomorrow and sign the contract
Schwarzenegger is a big man, but he is not stupid at all. In fact, he can think that the negotiation jam of terminator has something to do with France. Originally, he hoped that Simon would be open-minded and would not involve the tit for tat between westero system and France in his own project. He thought it would take a lot of talking. He did not expect that the young people in front of him would let go so easily, For a time, I doubted whether there was any pit waiting for me to jump.
Simon didn't explain too much to Schwarzenegger. Seeing that the other party was slightly stunned, he just nodded to him and welcomed the 007 series producers Barbara Brockley and Michael Wilson.
Even though the 007 series was suppressed by Simon for a long time, now they still lose the initiative. The two brothers and sisters of the Brockley family, who had firmly controlled the 007 series for decades, did not express any dissatisfaction in front of Simon and were still respectful and polite. In fact, this is human nature. When the gap is too big, people often give up the idea of fighting and resisting subconsciously.
The two brothers and sisters also have to admit that under the guidance of this young man, the ghost Party of 007 not only retains the classic characteristics of 007 series, but also the whole story is different from any previous 007 movies. Even their retired and bedridden father, Albert Brockley, had to admit that the change was good for the 007 series.
Simon's party with all the creators and guests will soon arrive at six o'clock.
The premiere begins.
The story of 007's ghost party begins at sea.
In the middle of the night, there is a brightly lit giant cruise ship floating in the English Channel. A plane with its engine out glides near the cruise ship at night. When it approaches the sky, the cabin door opens and a person jumps down from the cabin calmly. When it is about to land, he opens his parachute with a bang and lands on the deck of the cruise ship with a handsome posture. At the same time, he cleanly disposes of the hanging cargo The parachute soon changed into a gentleman's suit. Fortunately, he adjusted his tie in his spare time and went straight to the cabin where the party was being held.
Screen switching.
The two guards in charge of guarding noticed the abnormality and came to inspect. As a result, they just passed by a tall figure. The camera shot past the submachine guns between the two men's waists, which clearly indicates the unusual nature of the cruise ship.
The security of an ordinary cruise ship may carry weapons, but usually it is not such a powerful submachine gun.
In the holy citizen hall.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, sitting in the front of the center of the auditorium, recalls the opening scene. Even if he is not willing to admit it, he has to admire it.
The average audience may just think that the short-lived action design is very cool, leaving a clear impression in their hearts. For Arnold, who has been making movies for more than ten years, it's definitely not so easy to carry out similar action innovation.
It's like the terminator series.
In the first movie terminator, Arnold's future robot's skin is destroyed to reveal its metal internal skeleton. This detail, which has been used in many sci-fi movies in recent years, has brought a shocking visual effect to many audiences.
There are so many similar or intentional or unintentional classic ideas in Hollywood.
As long as a person reads enough films, he will find that the whole Hollywood and even the global film industry is constantly imitating and then imitating. Whether it's plot, action, or camera soundtrack and other film techniques, there are a large number of repetitions accompanied by a small amount of innovation.
And those films with a little innovation often become classics.
Then it was the subsequent imitation.This ”007 ghost party” seems to be a simple opening, which has brought a lot of inspiration to Arnold, a professional filmmaker.
On the big screen, the story goes on.
Pierce Brosnan, who was James Bond for the first time, got into the bustling and flashy cruise party hall and was able to shuttle between all kinds of people. He also caught a beautiful woman and threw out the classic self introduction during the conversation. Usually, similar details would be put in the middle or at the end of the film, because this time he changed the hero, which was ”I'm bond, James Bond.” Will appear at the beginning of wedge, also be specially arranged.
Even without this line, the audience will not admit it.
From the casting stage before shooting, the main creators of the rebooted 007 series have been the focus of a large number of media and fans, including Judy Dench, the first female m player, Kelly Lowe, the new Qian PANI player, and Jude Lowe, who is no longer an old man but a young man according to Simon's idea.
Apart from Judy Dench, other supporting roles are not configured according to Simon's memory of the Brosnan era.
For example, Kelly Lowe should have been a bond girl in Timothy Dalton's version of 007's license to kill. Because of Simon's appearance, 007's license to kill is still the same, but the help girl has changed. Kelly Lowe didn't get that chance again. This actress, who has been lukewarm in recent years, is in line with Simon's smart, capable and beautiful shape Yes, and the acting is up to standard.
All in all, in the brand new 007 series, Simon hopes that every character will play his due role, instead of the stereotyped vase state in the past even including bond himself.
Pierce Brosnan's original version of penny is also interesting. Her name is Samantha bond. That's right, it's bond. However, although Samantha bond's character is good, she is basically a vase and a flower maniac, and there are even scenes of penny dreaming about bond.
It doesn't make sense to Simon.
In addition, Jude Law's Q is also such a consideration.
In the past, Q actors in 007 series are basically old men. It's a waste to set such an important resident supporting role as an old man. After several times of selection, Jude Law, the British actor who has just emerged in Hollywood in recent years, has finally been finalized. This male star, 24 years old, is not as uninhibited as he was later. Instead, he refers to Ben westshaw in the Craig series. He is handsome, popular and still has a standard British accent.
At the beginning of the story, the first state girl appeared in the wedge. In line with the strategy of leaving no field for outsiders, Simon chose a Vermeer angel as usual.
Because Simon wants to give people a sense of instant light, the public is too familiar with him. For example, Simon's famous vermeen angels must have their own characteristics. Finally, he chose a vermeen Angel named Roberta chilco.
The famous 25-year-old model has a pair of absolutely impressive light green eyes, which fully conforms to Simon's aesthetic. Not only that, Roberta chilco's temperament also shows a special frankness. At the beginning, it will give people a sense of innocence and form an atmosphere contrast.
