Chapter 396

"District 9" and "the queen in Prada" are officially announced, with actors casting.

As a rising industry in recent years, Wald film has launched a number of popular films in succession and achieved quite good market results.

One young actor after another was popular;

One director after another is now well-known.

In the words of the famous director James Cameron, "the remuneration offered by Wald film for directors, producers and actors in the whole industry is not high, or even below the average level of the industry. However, it has to be said that they can make good movies and high box office movies. Therefore, it has a great attraction for young actors and directors. "

Low film pay criticized?

ha-ha!

No problem!

For those young actors who are eager to become famous, Wald film is like a delicious poison for everyone.

As soon as the news of the new film casting came out, Wald pictures immediately welcomed many people to inquire about the news. With the intentional promotion of Wald pictures, the news of the film "District 9" was first pushed out.

Movie Title: District 9.

Director: Christopher Nolan.

Producer: Gavin O'Connor.

Movie production costs: 30 million dollars.

...

Somewhere in Los Angeles.

"Christopher Nolan, I seem to have heard of this man. What's the origin?"

A simple and honest young actor, hands crossed, sitting on the sofa in the living room.

He is the most popular actor in Hollywood in recent years. His name is Matt Damon.

"Well, don't you have a certain friendship with Jack? Don't you know Christopher Nolan? " Lewis, the fat agent, looked at him strangely.

"Ha ha!"

Hearing the speech, Matt Damon spread his hands and said with a smile, "don't look at my cameo role in Wald pictures, but you know, the reason why I cameo in Sparta 300 warrior is just to apologize for my rudeness. In fact, my friendship with Zucker Wald can't be talked about."

In 1995, Zhuke founded Wald pictures;

At the beginning of 1996, Zucker began to make Wald pictures' first film "Lola Run", and invited Matt Damon to be the leading actor.

However, Matt Damon, a young but arrogant man at that time, refused the invitation and threatened that Zhuke's film company would come to an end sooner or later.

The two of them got married.

Later, Zucker gradually rose up and made a good film, and Matt Damon immediately became green with regret. As a result, he began to take the initiative to contact Zhuke, apologized and guest starred in the Spartan 300 movie.

Let's get rid of the past!

However, if you want to talk about friendship, it's really ordinary.

"Lewis, why don't you tell me about Christopher Nolan?" Urged Matt Damon.

Fat agent Lewis explained: "Christopher Nolan is a young director rising in Hollywood in recent two years. He has made two films for Wald pictures, fatal bend 2 and memory fragment, and has achieved good box office results."

"Especially recently, he co directed the film butterfly effect with Todd Phillips."

"The butterfly effect has made more than US $50 million at the box office in less than 20 days since it landed in North American theaters."

"Well, as far as I know, Christopher Nolan is the sweetheart of that guy Zucker Wald."

The voice fell.

Matt Damon showed a sudden smile and said, "it's him. I said I've heard the name."

At the moment, Matt Damon has a problem in his mind.

If you can make Zhuke's confidant love be the director of this film, then the quality of "District 9" will not be too bad.

"Lewis, help me gather more information about District 9. Maybe this is my chance." Matt Damon is very interested.

"No!"

The fat agent shook his head gravely and said, "Matt, District 9 is not for you. You know what? The cost of making this sci-fi movie is only $30 million! "

Matt Damon

At this moment, Matt Damon froze.

The $30 million sci-fi movie, which had to make him play a retreat.

The production cost is too low!

Well, at least for science fiction, it's too low.

"Tell me, the total production cost of" District 9 "is only 30 million US dollars, and the vast majority of its investment must be in special effects. Therefore, how much can the hero of the film get?" Chuckled the fat agent.

It's true that pay doesn't represent everything, but actors sometimes really like it.

Matt Damon's current market pay is about $5 million to $7 million.

Can't you lower your pay for District 9 movies?

Once the pay is down, it's hard to go up again, unless District 9 is a great success.

.......

At the same time.

All over Hollywood, many actors and actresses, after learning the news of "District 9", can't help but quit.

"A $30 million science fiction movie?"

"That's not right! As far as I know, the Wald film industry is not short of money. A while ago, Jack Wald himself was throwing money everywhere, throwing billions of dollars, but why《 The production cost of a science fiction film like District 9 is so low? "

"Is District 9 a soft science fiction and brain burning movie like butterfly effect?"

For a moment, Hollywood actors were talking about it.

Many people can't make up their minds!

Even Jack Phoenix, who has been working with Wald film for a long time, is in trouble at the moment.

"Don't be silly, Jackie!"

The agent looked anxiously at his artists and said, "I know you have a good relationship with Wald pictures, and you have a very close personal relationship with Mr. Wald, but you can't get angry. If there is a first time, there will be a second time and a third time in the future, and you will get into endless trouble. "

Nowadays, the film pay of Jackie Phoenix is not low.

Since the release of "My grand Greek Wedding", Jackie Kun, as the hero of the film, has doubled his pay, reaching $6 million.

After that, he took part in two other companies' films one after another, and the film payment went up all the way, reaching the standard of $10 million.

"Jackie, you can't gamble on District 9 with your hard work!" The agent stressed again.

"Well, I'm not going to take part in district nine."

In the end, jacqueon compromised.

.......

In a few days.

Many people are surprised to find that there are very few agents and actors, especially those famous young actors, who have signed up to take part in District 9.

They dare not gamble!

Alexander reported the news to Zhuke immediately.

Chuck threw the list aside and said, "don't worry. It's their business that they don't like District 9. We can do our best. "

There's a word that Zucker didn't say.

Sometimes, luck and courage are absolutely vital to the choice of life!

You don't like it?

In the future, when their intestines are blue again!

The second watch is on.
