Chapter 357： sorry to miss

The biggest purpose of my trip to Los Angeles was the interview for "Pirates of the Caribbean". Although I experienced some difficulties, I still successfully won the role of Captain Jack and became Evan Bell's new work after "Deadly Identity". , but also a brand-new challenge, a performance that challenged the classics in Evan Bell's heart.

While Evan Bell, Jerry Bruckheimer and others were still having their second interviews, the website of the "News of the World" published an exploding scoop: Evan Bell was listed as an investment of over 100 million yuan. The cast list of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and there is a high possibility that xìng will play the leading role!

This is the second exclusive of the "News of the World" in the past three days. It is still related to Evan and Bell, and it is still full of explosions, and the reporter's signature is still from Nick Yijiamo!

Nick Yijiamo was sitting in his black Chevrolet at this time and won exclusives one after another. After experiencing the excitement at the beginning, he returned to calm. When I saw Jerry Bruckheimer in the morning, Nick's brain kicked in. Why did Jerry Ruckheimer appear? Is his appearance related to Evan Bell? When he had a flash of inspiration and connected something completely unrelated to Leonardo DiCaprio, Nick Jia Mo finally solved all the mysteries.

That is, Evan Bell came to Los Angeles to participate in the "Pirates of the Caribbean..., interview!"

To be precise, it cannot be regarded as a "crack", and it can only be regarded as speculation without official confirmation from either Disney or Eleven Studios.

In this way, after Evan Bell arrived at the hotel yesterday, he went upstairs to the coffee shop: Leonardo DiCaprio also appeared in the hotel after that, and the events after that were connected together, Nick and Garmo. came up with this guess. I have to say that the paparazzi's speculative ability can sometimes be comparable to that of a sī detective.

Although the other paparazzi also saw Jerry Bruckheimer's figure, but they did not know Evan Bell's initial itinerary after arriving in Los Angeles last night, so their pace was much slower than Nick Yijiamo. By the time these paparazzi came to a conclusion, Nick OnePlus had posted the exclusive on the Internet for more than an hour.

In the past hour, the news of the "News of the World" has been reprinted by more than 600 media, which once again attracted a lot of attention to the "News of the World".

Obviously, the "News of the World" recently got a lot of benefits from Evan-Bell, no matter what Evan-Bell's thoughts and attitudes are, at least the "News of the World" loves Evan-Bell as a sweet bun. .

After confirming to appear in "Pirates of the Caribbean,", the matter is not over yet. How much Evan Bell will be paid to appear in this film is also a focus of attention. If it is calculated according to the previous film, "Deadly Identity..., China and Egypt" Wen Yibeier didn't give himself a penny, but to the outside world, he said that he was obligated to perform with a remuneration of 100,000 US dollars, which was naturally too much to do.

But after three of Evan Bell's films were released this year, especially in "Sniper Phone Booth"

It is sweeping thousands of troops at the box office, so Teddy Bell and David Greenblatt have received a lot of invitations recently. The salary is seven million US dollars. Although there is no agreement for the time being, the threshold of seven million is Evan. One Bell has already stepped in half a foot.

In terms of remuneration, Jerry Bruckheimer is very generous, showing that Disney has deep pockets, and they paid Evan Bell ten million dollars without bargaining with Teddy Bell. This is also Evan-Bell's first film with a salary of over 10 million yuan, and it also marks that Evan-Bell has officially entered the ranks of first-line actors in the eyes of the film company. This is undoubtedly a qualitative leap for Evan Bell, who has only four films released so far.

But unexpectedly, Evan-Bell rejected the figure. Because he asked for 5% of the box office dividends!

Evan-Bell knew when he produced "Deadly Identity..." that, in general, after deducting the dividends from the distribution part and the theater part, the proportion of the box office provided to the production company's internal dividends is only about 30%. The Disney Company Although he is in charge of production and distribution, the only 30% that is provided for internal dividends. Among them, the company itself, directors, actors, and screenwriters all have the possibility of dividends.

It's just that Evan Bell, a "rookie actor" who has been out for less than two years, should not be in the ranks of dividends.

But Evan-Bell knows that a salary of 10 million yuan is the threshold for first-tier actors, and at the same time, box office dividends are also one of the thresholds for first-tier actors. Basically, there are two situations in which the production company will provide the actors with dividends. One is for big-name actors, and the other is to use the dividends to share the remuneration, so that the actors also bear the risk of the box office. Of course, in the second case, the actor is willing to take the risk at the box office because the actor has a certain box office appeal. Therefore, Evan Bell put forward this request, not a blind lion, but more of a temptation and a negotiation method.

In the face of Evan Bell's request, Jerry Bruckheimer had no way to give an answer immediately, he had to hold a meeting with Disney to discuss it. This involves Jerry * Brutonheimer and others wanting to convince Disney that Captain Jack created by Evan * Bell can sell well, so it is estimated that this remuneration needs to be discussed in the long run.

After the long interview in the morning, back in the room, Evan-Bell was struggling with Teddy-Bell about what to eat for lunch when he found that David-Greenblatt had been waiting at the door of the room for a while.

"I took the role of Captain Jack and Wen Yi Bell happily shared the good news with David Greenblatt.

David Greenblatt is naturally happier. He has always hoped that Evan Bell can take on some commercial blockbusters with box office impact. For the agent, in addition to the representative commission, it can also make the actor more powerful. 's appeal. It's just that Evan Bell's script has always been based on his own preferences. So far, the real commercial blockbuster is just an "Ice Age". Although "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and "Sniper Phone Booth" are both commercial films, and the box office is good, there is nothing worthy of praise in terms of cost. "Sniper Phone Booth" swept the box office can be said to be a dark horse. "Pirates of the Caribbean" was Evan Bell's first traditionally defined commercial.

However, David Greenblatt's happiness did not last long. "Evan, there is bad news for you." to miss. "It was because David Greenblatt knew that Evan Bell liked "Big Fish" very much, so he came here specially.

"What's the reason?" Evan Bell sighed with a slightly frustrated expression. He missed the excellent script of "Big Fish", and also missed the opportunity to cooperate with a genius like Tim Burton, even sitting face to face. It's really a pity that I didn't get the chance to talk down.

"The crew decided that Albert Finney would play the role of Elder Edward, and later found that Ewan McGregor and Albert Finney looked very similar when they were young, so they contacted Ewan McGregor..." David Greenbow Larter told what he had learned.

"Then Ewan McGregor took the script.

"Evan Bell completes the following words.

David Greenblatt nodded, "And there are some problems with the schedule." Big fish, the start time has not yet been determined, but it is estimated that the shooting will start in November and last until April next year. "

This made Evan Yibel stunned. "The shooting time took so long?"

David Greenblatt spread his hands and said that he was not sure, "This is only an estimated time, and it has not yet been determined. It is possible to delay the shooting." Evan-Bell sighed, "Forget it, even if there is no problem with the schedule. , I've already decided to star in "Pirates of the Caribbean, now, I'm busy with school, and I'm too busy.

"Big fish" can only give up. "Speaking of this, Evan-Bell stood there for a while, and his left hand subconsciously touched the ring finger of his right hand: the unreachable father and son's left hand quickly loosened again. "Sure enough, I knew The script takes some luck. "Then "true love comes first, what? Do you want to reply this afternoon?" Teddy Bell remembered this question. After all, Evan Bell took the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the time is full, maybe" "Love First" is also to be missed.

Evan Bell suddenly remembered the question "True Love Comes First" with so many characters, "Which character did the script invite me to interview?" "The new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom." Teddy Bell replied directly, "This entire movie is all about After picking up British actors, I found you."

Evan Bell had an unexpected expression He remembered that in his last life, the role of the new British Prime Minister was played by Hugh Grant. You know, Hugh Grant is the royal actor of "True Love Matters" screenwriter Richard Curtis. Among Richard Curtis's four most well-known works, three of them "Four Weddings and a Funeral" ", "Notting Hill", "Single Diary" are all starring Hugh Grant. It can be seen that Richard Curtis loves Hugh Grant.

Besides, the role of the new British Prime Minister is definitely a middle-aged person. There has never been a 20-year-old Prime Minister in British history! Therefore, if Evan Bell starred, it would be necessary to challenge across the ages. Although it is not difficult, in the eyes of Evan Bell, Richard Curtis's invitation should only be incidental. In the end, Richard Curtis will still hand over this role to Hugh Grant.

Evan-Bell remembers that there is a young man's character in "True Love Matters", that is, the protagonist who confesses the classic scene with a card outside the window. If Richard Curtis invited Evan-Bell to play this role, he would also Be more reliable.

Now it seems that it is estimated that "true love is supreme" is also to be missed.
