Chapter 753

The news of the fast establishment of "the infernal Walker" shocked many Hollywood colleagues. However, after a little bit of information, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Prize movies?"

"Oh, that's not a big deal!"

"Yes, we were worried that Wald pictures would produce another commercial production. If so, we would be worried. Now, it's just a prize movie. "

Hollywood colleagues are always worried about commercial blockbusters such as spider man and Harry Potter, which can reap hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, which will greatly affect the box office performance of their respective film companies.

A prize movie?

Or art film?

Ha ha, unless necessary, Hollywood film companies basically don't worry, because the vast majority of literature and art movies and award-winning movies really lose money and make money. They don't sell money!

However!

"Who said that the award-winning movie" the Inferno "is a pure literary film? It's a crime movie. Although it's not a commercial blockbuster to the letter, it's definitely a movie with sharp action, high observability, commercial and literary attributes! "

"Box office, I want it!"

"Awards, too!"

Zhuke looked at a lot of media newspaper reports, at the moment is so heroic dry cloud!

With the will of Zhuke, the whole Wald film industry is running at an unimaginable speed like a huge machine.

Director, producer, photography group, makeup group, main actors and so on, all departments should act quickly to start shooting as soon as possible.

"The boss, the man in charge of the inferno, directly appointed Leonardo and Matt Damon. First of all, Matt Damon is interested in playing, the contract is being negotiated with his agent, but Leonardo's desire to play is not high

On this day, Wald pictures is holding a meeting.

Kevin Fitch frowned and said, "Leonardo, it's really hard for him to do, but it's a project decided by the boss himself. Shouldn't Leonardo just refuse to play?"

He was very confused.

In the same way, many executives of Wald pictures are puzzled. After all, the name of their own boss is now Hollywood's gold lettered signboard, which has great attraction for most actors, even the most popular Hollywood stars.

Why did he refuse?

And still so determined.

"Cough!"

Gavin O'Connor, the company's vice president and head of production, cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "after Leonardo refused, I went to see him in person yesterday. He told me that he didn't want to play the same kind of role again."

The voice fell.

A lot of people "...."

"No wonder!"

Just at this time, an executive can't help saying: "as far as I know, the New York gangster, produced by Miramax pictures and starring Daniel Day Lewis and Leonardo DiCaprio, was shot just a month ago and is expected to be released this Christmas. This film is similar to" the stranger "and has similar roles."

In an instant, many people suddenly realized.

"I see."

"I see. Although Leonardo is a child star, and later "Titanic" hit the world, but he is a very aspiring actor, he rarely plays the same type of role

"I understand, but what about our task?"

"That's right. We invited Leonardo to play No.1, but the boss decided that we didn't finish the task. How can we explain to the boss?"

"Is it difficult for the boss to invite him in person? So what face do we have? "

For a time, many people frowned.

This is a famous actor!

Looking at Hollywood as a whole, it's a dream for many people to play in the works of Wald pictures. Can't you see that these days, CAA, William Morris Company, innovation agency and other well-known agencies have taken the trouble to recommend their own actors.

But!

Some of the most popular and top movie actors, they have a very high status, can have equal dialogue with the film company, or even more than a chip, and among these actors, Leonardo is definitely one of them.

"It's, it's, it's hard to do!" One executive couldn't help saying.

"I have a way."

Just then, Alexander, a former assistant, suddenly made a sound.

For a moment, the whole audience focused on him. It's no wonder that he has a high status, but after all, he has just joined Wald pictures. In recent days, he has been very low-key.

Kevin Fitch: "Alexander, if there's any good way, just say it."

"That's right!"

Gavin O'Connor also asked anxiously, "man, if there's anything to say, we're all in a hurry."

Then Alexander said, "Martin Scorsese!"

——Martin Scorsese!

Just saying one person's name makes everyone in the conference room suddenly realize.

Xiao Li is very popular. He is not afraid of any Hollywood film company, which makes many film producers love and hate him. But this is not absolute. At least one person can deal with him. That person is famous director Martin Scorsese.

The relationship between Comrade Lao Ma and Xiao Li is absolutely good!

New York gangster, aviator, confinement Island, Wall Street wolf and so on, the two work together, is also countless!

Of course, even though most of these film collaborations are stories after 2002, the relationship between Lao Ma and Xiao Li is also very strong at present.

"In a word, if you take old Martin and let him be the director, then Leonardo will take care of it!" Said Alexander Lang.

.......

Wald pictures first invited Martin Scorsese to be the director of "the Inferno" for $7 million.

Although it's not as good as Cameron, bearded Peter Jackson and other directors who often pay tens of millions of dollars, but in 2002, this is absolutely the standard of Hollywood directors.

In 2016, Patty Jenkins, the director of wonder woman, paid just $1 million;

In 2018, she directed "wonder woman 2" for just $7 million.

Therefore, Wald pictures invited Martin to be the director this time, and the film pay was really not low, which did not include the inflation factor.

If not

When old Martin personally invited Li Zi on behalf of Wald pictures, it was done.

And it only takes 10 minutes.

This makes the executives of Wald pictures happy as well as sad.

Kevin Fitch couldn't help laughing: "we invited him for more than ten days, but Leonardo didn't agree, but old Martin did it in 10 minutes."

"The first watch" is presented.
