Chapter 512 (1/2)
The news of the upcoming shooting of the lost lover was officially announced by Paramount Pictures, and the famous director Steven Spielberg served as the producer.
This matter was reported by many entertainment media. A Chinese reporter directed by Liang Kun went to Los Angeles to interview Liang Kun and asked about it. ”Zhang Ziyi's English is very good and has a high popularity in Hollywood. Why don't you consider cooperating with her?”
Liang Kun patiently explained, ”that's why I didn't find her. I have her contact information, but before, she played the heroine in Memoirs of a Geisha. She was a guest of honor at last year's Academy Awards and awarded the best editing award. If I asked her to play a supporting role, it would be a decline for her.”
The reporter asked, ”is there any Chinese role in this play?”
”There is no important role. In the future, I will cooperate with Chinese actors and write new plays or novels, not now.” Liang Kundun smiled and said, ”I can't greatly change the plot of the novel in order to cooperate with my compatriots?”
Unless he is crazy, he will do that. There are too many Asian characters in a Hollywood film, which almost means jumping on the street.
There are only two people, and the audience can accept it. This is the result of Liang Kun's magic reform. In addition, he will not risk his future in order to help an unfamiliar woman.
Without the butterfly effect, Zhang Ziyi will soon fall in love with AVI nivo, the largest private investor of Goldman Sachs Group, the largest individual shareholder of Time Warner Group and a billionaire with a net worth of more than 10 billion. Although the last two broke up because of the prenuptial agreement, Ivy was more suitable to be the backing of the international chapter before that.
Liang Kun found a good reason and held Zhang Ziyi, which meant that she was suitable for playing a heroine rather than a supporting actress.
In fact, after the release of Memoirs of a Geisha, the female partner Gong Li made two consecutive films in Hollywood. With the exception of a new film, banquet, which can't even sell its copyright in the United States, the new film hasn't landed yet.
The Memoirs of a Geisha made Zhang Ziyi nominated for the Golden Globe Award. It is also said that after making the film, her value increased to $5 million. However, the North American box office of the film is less than 60 million US dollars, and the global box office is only 160 million US dollars. The filmmakers are doomed to lose money. Which filmmakers are willing to pay a high price for Zhang Ziyi?
According to Hollywood rules, supporting actors must find low-value people to play, and the protagonists try to find stars who can resist the box office. Zhang Ziyi doesn't account for either. Even if Liang Kun is willing to recommend her, the producer won't agree to use her.
If she is willing to lower her pay for acting like the first blockbuster, the filmmakers will consider it. And paramount must be too much for 500000. That's the reality. No actor is willing to reduce his film pay. It's easy to fall down, but it's difficult to rise again.
Not to mention Chinese actresses like Zhang Ziyi, Cylon, who has won an Oscar, can't escape this law.
Theron was invited to audition for the lost lover. In her current situation, making a best-selling book adaptation and a film produced by Spielberg is the best choice. The premise is that she has to reduce the price appropriately. She earns 10 million for the last film ”magic Woman Warrior”, and the filmmakers may not get as much money as her.
To star in the lost lover, Theron's reasonable pay is between 6 million and 8 million. We need to talk about the specific amount. She doesn't have much choice. If she receives bad films in order to maintain high pay, she will continue to fall in price and form a vicious circle.
Spielberg also thought she was quite suitable, sweet enough when smiling and strong enough when indifferent.
On December 27, sun Yizhen arrived in Los Angeles. Liang Kun met her at the airport after Yi Rong.
