Chapter 179 Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates
Flame Movies ultimately invested in ”The Chainsaw” in accordance with the plan negotiated at the ”Fujie Restaurant Conference”, which cost tens of thousands of dollars and owns all its copyrights; ”Father of Chainsaw” Wen Ziren and Ray Warner are all free of charge However, they enjoy a share of North American box office revenue of o% and dVd sales of 7.5%. As for overseas box office, video rental, dVd rental, TV broadcasting, etc., they are not listed here.
Wan has doubled the original budget of Wen Ziren, and Ray Warner starred in the lead role with zero pay. The total remuneration of other cast members is controlled within 10,000, and Wandu will be used for shooting Funding, including scenes, props, **** effects, etc. Wen Ziren and Ray Warner laughed happily: ”It's too much money to know how to spend it.”
They are all confident that they can use these three million dollars to create a classic and unique B-class horror film.
The Flame Film Production Department will select the appropriate producers to join them. Wen Ziren said that the filming can be completed in half a month and at most one month, and even the Halloween schedule will be released this month. But there is no need to be so anxious, because independent films want to stand out, in addition to the film itself is good enough, the promotion work can not be taken lightly.
After receiving Wang Yang ’s strong optimism and direct instructions, Peter Wilkes, who had originally appreciated ”The Chainsaw”, immediately increased the attention level of several levels, which can be made into 6, 9, or even In the series of horror film Flame Group and the entire movie industry, who does not know what the chairman of the money-robbing board sees, even if it is a stone, there is actually a big piece of gold hidden in it.
The flame group's plan is to immediately launch ”no-benefit propaganda”, that is, to build an official on the Internet and advertise in horror movie fans. The propaganda axis is ”Fantastic Yang very much appreciates and watches horror movies”
You must know that Miracle Yang has an indelible position in the hearts of horror movie fans. Many people are ”will review” Ghost Record ”once a year.” The lens techniques and horror details in this dV movie are all collected. Dacheng, and even someone called him the ”Master of Horror”. Many fans of horror movies hope that they will wake up the next day when they look forward to the night, and suddenly they see ”Magic Yang returns to psychological horror movie” written in the newspaper.
Now ”Master of Horror” strongly recommends the **** horror movie ”The Chainsaw”, although this is the product of the flame film, but the horror movie fans who see this news can't help but be interested. They think unless the magic is stupid or the vision is wrong, otherwise He will not be so stupid as to destroy himself.
But such an effect is far from enough. The Flame Film will arrange ”The Chainsaw” to participate in the weighty film festivals next year, such as the Saint-Denis Film Festival and the Exclamation Film Festival, and then launch in April. We still use Fm as the company. If the movie really sells well, it will be used to start the name of Fm's independent film, attracting more independent filmmakers and more audiences.
Although Wang Yang is optimistic about ”The Chainsaw”, in addition to believing his fans, he has not attracted much attention from the media and other film companies. It ’s an independent film. Sundance Film Festival now has more than 100 participating films every year, and countless unsuccessful films; but more importantly, Wen Ziren is a 5-year-old Chinese director, and it ’s not a magical movie. Australian relatives, right?
The other project of ”Fujie Restaurant Meeting” drag racing crime film, has been directed by Lin Yibin, the production cost budget is 10,000; but other things have not been decided, the script story to find a screenwriter to create, and the producer As for the candidates for the starring lineup, although Michelle Rodriguez and Wang Yang are good friends, she is naturally out of scope because of the relationship between the ”degrees and leaks” series.
The film emperor is difficult to find, but it is not difficult to find a suitable hot guy.
In the office of the chairman of Flame Movies, Wang Yang looked at the ”Elisa Dushku” in the phone address book and dialed the past night. In order to promote the effect and the quality of the film, he will tentatively name it ”Rage” in this movie. In the role of producer, he doesn't overproduce too much, but the tone of the style in the script story, the later editing will be in question, and the finalization of the starring candidate.
Hearing the question ”?” Over there, he turned around on the rotating chair, looked at a pot of daffodils on his desk, and said, ”Is this Miss Eliza Dushku? I am Wang Yang.” ”
On the streets of Los Angeles, Eliza Dushku carrying a handbag stopped froze, yung-ng? Magic Yang? She hurriedly looked at the trees and vehicles around her. She did n’t know what to say. She was thinking about it in her heart: ”Will it be a prank? How could he have my number? Oh, audition for High School Musical, he Why would you contact me? ”
She can never forget that audition. It was n’t that the audition process was particularly interesting, but that the result was really memorable. She began to feel that she had passed 90%, because Wang Yang was very satisfied at the time, and she said ”Miss Dushku, you played well in” The Real Lie ””. His smile was charming. Maybe it was the fame of the ”magic kid”, anyway, she felt that he had a maturity of his peers.
She likes mature and funny men the most, but if the man is the same age as her, she prefers it. She still remembers saying to Jessica Alba: ”I really want to date him.” Then she lost. Jessica, the reason is probably the relationship they have known for a long time. Then she signed the ”Hands of Leisure” in a very sad mood. She was not very willing to play any horror comedy. ”.
But reality is like a train that can't be stopped. Many things are like to decide whether to go to the left or to the right by yourself in a second, or by someone else. Two completely different roads, the road that can't turn back. ”The Hand of Leisure” was finally beaten up very badly by ”High School Musical”, and this year's ”The New Ding” was also beaten up badly by ”Sweetheart” ...
Of course, all of these things are going to be over, but what is the reason for Magic Yang this time? Eliza thought of a possibility, and her smooth heart jumped suddenly: ”Does he want me to make a movie?” T--Team ”?”
”?” Wang Yang blinked suspiciously when she saw that she was not talking. It was normal for others not to know him, but didn't Eliza Dushku remember? He added: ”That's the director Wang Yang,” District 9 ”,” Juneau ”... Miss Dushku, we have seen in auditions for” High School Musical ”before.”
Eliza couldn't help smiling, she might not know who Eliza-Dushku was, but how could she not know who Wang Yang was? She stepped up and continued to walk, laughing: ”Mr. Wang, I know you, Magic Yang, of course. I also remember the audition for” High School Musical ”, is there anything wrong?”
”Well, it's about the movie.” Wang Yang picked up a sports car model on the table and slowly drove in the air, said: ”The flame movie is preparing to make a series of drag racing movies, the first investment is million, Justin- Directed by Lin, you should not know him; I am one of the producers, so I would like to invite you to audition for a heroine, are you interested? ”
Although the script of ”Rage” has not been finalized, and the screenwriter has not seen it, but the script of pure commercial movies is not ”Schindler's List” or ”Shoushenk's Salvation”. Everything has a ”format” and is generally divided into The story and the characters work in two parts. Several screenwriters, directors, and producers are discussing together, and they are completely considered and created from a commercial perspective.
For the character part, you can first design and then find a suitable actor; you can also determine the temperament of the preliminary actor and then shape this role. What kind of heroine does ”Rage” need? Sexy, spicy and soaring adrenaline. Eliza Dushku is very **** and spicy, her acting skills are decent, and her age is suitable for low pay. If you refer to the character set in ”degrees and leaks * points”, she is the position of Jordana Brewster.
”Oh” Eliza responded, feeling a little disappointed in her heart. It wasn't a movie directed by Magic Young, but she was very excited immediately. He was the producer, and it was the heroine of the 60 million-cost film she played before. The heroine's ”Driving in New Ding” cost only 10,000 yuan, but with another fiasco at the box office, she has no new movie appointments now, and the agent said she might need to return to the screen show first.
But Magic Yang suddenly seemed to think of her as a number one, the heroine of the drag racing movie, her luck is coming? Eliza quickly said: ”Oh, I'm very interested.” She looked at a red sports car roaring on the road and smiled: ”I like cars”
Wang Yang smiled happily, put down the sports car model, and said: ”Elisa, I will tell you first, the specific audition and other scripts will come out and talk, but I think it is you.” He did not forget The audition four years ago, I knew what kind of temperament and lens feeling Eliza is, in fact it is somewhat similar to Jessica, but the sweet side is missing, but it is definitely suitable for ”Rage”.
He continued: ”This movie will probably start shooting early next year, and now it is said that there will be no problems with the timing. When the script is ready, we will talk to your agent in detail.” Eliza smiled happily over there : ”Well, thank you very much for this opportunity” Wang Yang smiled and said: ”Well, bye bye”
”Bye.” Eliza put her phone into her handbag excitedly and dumbly, and her head walked blankly for a while, before slowly regaining consciousness, he said ”I think it's you”? It ’s incredible. Is n’t this a dream? She looked up at the dazzling sunlight in the sky, patted her cheek, and suddenly showed a happy and excited smile.
Da da da-the door of the office was knocked, Wang Yang looking at the computer screen said ”come in”, Mark Srant in black suit and plaid tie opened the door and walked in, he sat down on the chair in front of the table, Handing over a piece to Wang Yang, he smiled and said, ”My boss, we said a few days ago that the company was vacant for a series of works. Unexpectedly, there were suddenly three series plans, and then four of” Hangover ”.”
