I really don't want to be red

Chapter 2105 Worry
"Let me read it, and I will know what the plot is like!" Travolta picked up the script and continued to read.

It didn't take long before there was an "oh".

Cage felt itchy in his heart, what did this guy see?
There must be something unexpected.

He was still waiting for Travolta to tell him, but he didn't expect Travolta to just watch it like this.

He didn't say a word, his eyes were fixed on the script and he didn't blink, just reading the script page by page.

Cage wondered what the hell is going on, you just keep silent.

If you look at it like this, he doesn't have any expression on his face. He doesn't even know whether Travolta is satisfied or not.

After an entire hour, Travolta took a deep breath after turning the last page.

"Cage, this is definitely a masterpiece that can turn you around! Maybe the investment won't be as fierce as those sci-fi and fantasy blockbusters, but the plot is definitely enough to make up for it, and the good-looking level is at least five stars!"

Cage smiled and said, "Is that so? It's not easy to be recognized by you."

Travolta's fingers twitched lightly on the table, "The plot mainly starts with changing faces, our faces are swapped, and our identities are swapped, resulting in a series of changes and conflicts! The level of excitement is absolutely top-notch, but..."

Cage's heart tightened when he heard this, "But what?"

Travolta said: "In the Xizhou area, the box office of shootout movies has never been able to reach the top. Over the years, it is rare to see a shootout movie in the top ten box office!"

Not none, but very few.

Some say it's a shootout, but it's actually not a shootout movie when subdivided.

You're like "Mission: Impossible," which did pretty well at the box office, but it's really a spy movie.

And a long-lived movie like "007" can be regarded as a spy movie.

For this type of movie, gunfights are the foundation, and the content is closer, and it can no longer be regarded as a pure gunfight movie.

The same is true for "Into Alcatraz" starring Cage, which cannot be regarded as a pure gunfight movie.

But this movie is a very simple gunfight police movie.

It's hard to say how good this kind of movie is at the box office in Xizhou, especially when special effects have become popular in recent years.

Nowadays, the production technology of computer special effects is becoming more and more mature, and many movie shots that were difficult to realize in the past can be easily realized as long as you spend money.

So now is the era of science fiction and fantasy films.

All kinds of superhero movies were born, with feelings and special effects, occupying more than half of the market.

The six parts of "Middle-earth" are even more milestones in magical movies, constructing a huge and magical magical world, and the scenes of major races fighting for hegemony make people excited.

Relatively speaking, this kind of gunfight movie between police and gangsters seems to have a smaller layout and scenes.

If you can't see the big high-tech scene, at most it's just a few guns blasting around.

This kind of movie has existed for the longest time, and it was also the movie with the largest proportion decades ago. It can be said that everyone has seen enough of this type.

Cage was silent for a moment.

He came from that era, and he became popular because of this type of movie.

Knowing that Travolta was right.

Travolta is also a vested interest in this kind of movie, and he is also a lonely person because this kind of movie is not popular now.

It's just that he has money, and many times he doesn't seem to care.

But who dares to say that he has no regrets in his heart?

Cage clenched his fists, and said after a long while: "Try, I think we can try, maybe it's hard for a shootout movie to become a mainstream movie, but we can make this one a hit."

Let this one catch fire.

It's all they can do.

Even if they were former heavenly kings, they couldn't control the changes in the general environment.

All that can be done is to make this movie a hit.

Travolta said: "Maybe this movie may not have a box office of 5 million."

The shootout movie is good-looking, but it really doesn't have any advantage at the box office.

In the past 20 years, very few gunfight films have entered the top ten at the box office, and they can be counted on one hand.

Many are not strictly gunfight movies.

This pure shootout flick...

Even if there are good reviews, it may not be able to break through 5 million.

Cage knew what he meant, but he didn't care and said, "I hope the box office is as high as possible, but it has nothing to do with my salary. I only hope that the boss can make money."

"I can get 1000 million now, plus bonuses, what else can I be dissatisfied with! My God, this is the salary I made for six movies last year!"

Cage was still paid well at first, even if he made bad movies.

But with the decline of fame, the salary is also falling like mountains and rivers.

From 2500 million to 2000 million, to 1500 million, 1000 million...,

The whole thing is a plunge.

In the end, it fell to 200 million units and lasted for several years.

You must know that this salary is only paid by small stars in the fifth and sixth tiers, that is, those guys who have acted in some small productions but haven't had much popularity.

A starlet who is not even familiar.

Even so, since last year, Cage's salary has dropped further.

Even to 150 million.

This is almost unacceptable for someone with a very high starting point like Cage.

And he is very clear that if this goes on, there is almost no possibility of paying off the remaining 5000 million.

150 million last year, 100 million in two years...

After two years, it will not be a matter of salary, that is, no one will invite you.

You will be eliminated from this circle.

Just like catering.

The food is not good and no one comes. In order to save costs, you have to use some not-so-good ingredients, or even reduce the portion size, to maintain the operation.

But if you reduce the cost and the quality drops, customers will stop coming after eating it.

Only when the brain is flooded will it come again.

The more you don't come, the worse you will do.

The worse you do, the less you will come!
This creates a vicious circle and eventually has to close down.

After Cage realized that it was impossible to go on like this, he had to go to Mais with the cheek.

He didn't expect to be kicked out by Mais, but An Ran helped him.

And his current salary for this film is almost 5 times more than the original one. What is he dissatisfied with?
"If the box office is not so good, I would rather not get paid!"

Cage said with gratitude in his eyes.

Travolta patted him hard on the shoulder, "It seems that your Boss An Ran is really a good person, and you have successfully convinced me!"

"You mean, you are willing to act as my partner?" Cage couldn't help but smile.

In fact, he was not surprised by this at all. An Ran's script was definitely not bad, and Travolta would definitely be attracted after reading it.

Travolta said: "In this way, I will do the same as you, taking 1000 million and 5% of the share. After all, if an old guy like me hadn't remembered An Ran, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to play the leading role again!"

"In this regard, I should thank him, and I'm not short of money!"

Cage rolled his eyes, what you said is a bit pretentious.

You are not lacking, I am lacking...
