Chapter 1396 Just got off the plane, lost contact online

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
On the "Alcatraz Island" not far from the San Francisco Bay Area, Jerry Bruckheimer led the "Zuan Team" he helped Wu Xiaozu prepare to investigate the filming site.

Soundtrack master Lonely Man, action director Yuan Kui, editor Lee Smith, on-site assistant director Kenny Bates, Lin Chaochen——

"Suddenly..."

Two black AH-6 helicopter gunships hovered in the sky. Director Wu Xiaozu led executive director Bang Bei, directors of photography John Toll, and Bao Xi in the helicopter to collect the scene and decided to shoot from above.

I have to say, for the sake of the movie, Brother Zu also went all out...

He was initially against the helicopter ride. . . .The safety factor of this thing is actually not low, but the crash of the star cauliflower snake that he liked very much in his previous life left a shadow on him.

However, after repeated assurances from the explosion, he also boarded the helicopter to conduct a scene survey with fear.

no way.

Take money to work.

This time Wu Xiaozu received $35 as the producer's salary + $465 million as the director's salary + 3.5% box office profit share.

This treatment can be regarded as the level of first-line directors in Hollywood.

It can't be compared with Lucas and Spielberg's super-first-line directors, but it is basically the same as James Cameron's salary at this time.

In "Terminator 2" released last year, the truck driver received a director's salary of 600 million US dollars, but there was no share.

In fact, at the earliest, he had a share of the net profit of the box office.

Later, because the investment in "Terminator 2" exceeded the budget by nearly 10%, his box office share was cancelled.

Therefore, it is actually a routine operation for truck drivers to skip tickets.

At this time, he was still insignificant.

The big ship in the future forced Paramount and Fox to borrow money from the bank many times... The project almost aborted.

Some companies and directors will shoot cross-age classic blockbusters after delaying tickets, and some people... let alone "Fengshen Bang Trilogy". (I especially hope that I will be slapped in the face! Don't tell Yanzu in the film.)
Wu Xiaozu signed such a large salary contract, so it is understandable for Jingye to board the gunship helicopter to scout the scene.

Capitalists' money is not so easy to get.

Jerry Bruckheimer paid such a large amount of money, naturally Wu Xiaozu needed to correct his professional attitude.

He is not cheating.

"In terms of actors, I have already communicated with Sean Connery's agent, and he is very interested in this project."

After getting off the helicopter, Jerry took the initiative to chat with Wu Xiaozu about the candidate for the movie role.

as predicted.

Although Nicolas Cage has a good performance in "Pulp Fiction" and the film's box office is very high, his ability to "carry" the box office has not really been verified.

Such a big A-level production naturally needs stars with real commercial appeal to hold the box office.

Sean Connery, the former 007, is undoubtedly very suitable for the role arrangement in the movie.

And the price is right.

This movie is actually a commercial movie without a clear villain, so the requirements for the director's group portrait scheduling ability are very high.

Fortunately, Wu Xiaozu's group portraits have always been of a high standard, and shooting group portraits is also his forte.

"What about the actresses?"

"Do you have a suggestion for someone to choose?" Wen Xian knew Yayi, and when Wu Xiaozu was concerned about this issue, Jerry Bruckheimer asked back.

"No, that's not my concern."

Wu Xiaozu smiled, "Besides, there are not many female roles in this drama. I think, for commercial considerations, we can find a beautiful enough vase to decorate the house. A big enough actress may not be able to see this role, But if there's enough gimmicks, I think someone will be interested..."

"I will consider your opinion." Jerry Bruckheimer nodded, he naturally understood the meaning of Wu Xiaozu's words.

But seeing that the other party didn't reach out too much about the actor's problem, he nodded secretly.

Obviously, Wu Xiaozu has a clear understanding of his own position.

The female characters in "Brave to the Deadly Island" are really nothing to talk about.It's nothing more than the two characters of 'Stanley''s girlfriend and 'Mason''s daughter.

What's more, he doesn't need to go out for favors for such a role, right?

On the contrary, if the character is bright enough, he wouldn't mind introducing Monica...

As for Sophie Marceau and Ajani, they look down on such roles.

But the reason why Xiaozu Wu asked was mainly because he hoped that Jerry Bruckheimer would pay attention to it. With his connections, it is actually not difficult to find some famous stars.

Who hates that there are few stars in their movies?
After all, this is Wu Xiaozu's first attempt at a major Hollywood A-level production, and he naturally hopes to get more cards in his hand.

Compared with the centralization of production supervision on Hong Kong Island, the Hollywood producer system virtually limits the director's power.

But for such an industrialized film, this is originally a standardized process in Hollywood.I believe that this gold medal producer will also build a good enough lineup for him to display.

This is the link and process that Wu Xiaozu must go through in Hollywood.

At the same time, he is also actively learning and absorbing nutrients.

……

Hong Kong Island Noon Sunshine Film and Television Production Company, staff came in and out, and several working groups were busy with different projects.

"Meteor Garden" is very popular throughout Asia, and the prices of the second and third rounds are constantly rising.

This also made the whole company proud.

Although "Legend of the White Snake" and "The King of the Show" are also very successful, they are not independently produced by Noon Sunshine, but "Meteor Garden" is different, it is a project that is produced and sold by themselves .

And also directly created a distinctive 'idol drama' routine category. "Meteor Garden 2" has been directly approved and entered the stage of filming.

At the same time, the prototypes of the remaining idol dramas are also being created.

However, apart from idol dramas, another TV drama that the company attaches the most importance to is "Sex and the City" with its star-studded cast.

Everyone who has seen the dailies raved about the film.

This TV series is a work with a movie quality. At the same time, the performance of this TV series also determines the proportion of the company's resources for 'workplace drama'.

"Director Wang..."

"Hi Director Wang."

Many people saw a "Gao Lao" approaching and greeted them enthusiastically. Wang Jiawei responded with a smile and nodded one by one. He walked to the office and knocked on the door.

"Please come in..."

Le Yiling raised her head and saw Wang Jiawei walking in, smiling, "Director Wang is here, please take a seat. "Sex and the City" is ATV's new year's big show next year, and you need your cooperation in recording the program in advance, so you have to make a trip ..."

Looking at him up and down, seeing his dusty posture, he said concerned: "I heard that Director Wang is filming in mainland China, did it delay your filming process?"

"No, no, I just got off the plane and came back to do some business." Wang Jiawei waved his hands hurriedly, rather cautiously, hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong? Director Wang?"

"That... I just want to ask about my salary... Can you settle it for me in advance..." Wang Jiawei stammered.

"This? No problem, I'll let the finance department step up the review and call you." Le Yiling smiled when she heard this.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and she watched the other party leave.

After thinking about it, he picked up the phone and called Jiang Zhiqiang.

Locomotive Entertainment, is this too bullying?Why is the director under his banner so miserable?No wages?

Wang Jiawei walked out of Noon Sunshine Company, looked left and right, and waved to the taxi furtively.

At this moment, a few young and Dangerous boys across the street rushed over.

"Director Wang, long time no see!!"

With a bang, Young and Dangerous pressed the car door, and looked at Wang Jiawei with a pale face, "You don't want to say hello to us when you come back, isn't it appropriate?"

The taxi driver looked at this scene, ignored Wang Jiawei, kicked the accelerator and drove away.

Obviously do not want to provoke right and wrong.

"That... how many people..."

"boom--"

Young and Dangerous directly punched Director Wang in the stomach, bending him in pain like a boiled prawn.

"take away!"

Several people carried Wang Jiawei away.

On the other hand, Boss Jiang who received the call from Le Yiling was also puzzled.

How can I delay Wang Jiawei's wages with hundreds of millions of people coming in and out?Thinking of this, he was in a bad mood and called Liu Zhenwei——
