Chapter 346 "Cloud Map"

The biggest star of the crew of "You Who Came from the Stars" is of course Liu Yifei, the heroine.

The pay is 35 per episode, a friendly price.

Leaving aside Cheng Yuan's identity as the boss, his salary as an actor is 70 yuan for three months, which is 1.75 yuan per episode.

The two newcomers, Li Yifeng and Yang Yang, although they both have some acting experience before, they are not expensive. Li 3 an episode, Yang has fewer roles, and the package price is 10.

Tangtang became popular because of Zixuan, 22 episodes, higher than the male lead.

"I'm so cheap!" Cheng Yu'an sat on the bed and "sulked".

"You're not short of this money." Liu Yifei took off his coat and poured a glass of water to drink.

The crew of "You Who Came from the Stars" has assembled in the capital and is preparing for the opening ceremony.

Actors of all sizes have also entered the hotel one after another in the past few days.

Cheng Yu'an didn't ask for another room, and stayed in the heroine's suite.

Cheng Yu'an read the script for a while and was about to go out.

Liu Yifei asked him, "Where are you going?"

"Warner VP Jeff Robinoff asked me out for coffee."

"I'll go too." Liu Yifei picked up his clothes.

"I'm going to discuss business, what are you doing with me?"

"See you, he took good care of me on the set of "Inception". I'm afraid I'll embarrass you."

"That's not true." She followed if she wanted to.

The two changed their clothes and went out.When I came to the hotel cafe, besides Jeff Robinov, there was actually an acquaintance there.

Young Master Zhou's manager, Yu Guangguang.

How did he hook up with Warner's people?

"Cheng, I heard you are going to act by yourself." Jeff greeted him.

"Yes, play with Crystal."

Jeff naturally knew Liu Yifei: "Crystal, long time no see, Cheng treats you very well."

"Thank you."

Several people sat down, and Jeff first praised the achievements of "Inception", saying that Cheng Yu'an has a good vision, and that Warner attaches great importance to a big film company. The two sides exchanged views on the development status of the Chinese and American film markets , and the future of the films of the two countries... Shit, Jeff Robinov brought Yu Guangguang here just to get money from Cheng Yu'an.

"Cheng, you are the most important partner of Warner Bros. The project "Cloud Atlas" is very promising. Starring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, and directed by the Wachowskis. Cheng , we have already invited your good friend Zhou, and now we want to invite Crystal to play again."

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up.Just the three names of Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, and Hugo Weaving know that this film is not bad.

What's more, there are Wachowski siblings directing!
Well, now we are called siblings.

It is false to ask Liu Yifei to play the role, but it is true to ask Cheng Yuan to invest.

Liu Yifei was very tempted and wanted to nod and agree on the spot.

But Gu Gu still said, "You can send me the script first, and I'll read the script and get back to you."

"Of course." Jeff agreed.

The wife's route is very easy to follow, as long as Liu Yifei agrees to act, there will be no worries about Cheng Yu'an not getting in the car.

Yu Guangguang sat aside and didn't say much. He is a related household. Cheng Yu'an is close to Mr. Zhou, but he doesn't pay much attention to him.

The four talked for a while, and then Jeff and Yu Guangguang left.

As soon as the two returned to the hotel room, Jeff sent the original novel and finalized script of "Cloud Atlas" to Liu Yifei's manager's mailbox.

"Cloud Atlas", a bad film that claims to have gathered the most Oscars.

Can't say it's a bad movie either.

If you want to say it's not good-looking, it doesn't count.

Let's say it looks good, but I can't.

The story was fantastic, of course, but it just lost money.

And a huge loss!

At a cost of 1.3 million US dollars, the global box office is [-] million.

Liu Yifei was very moved by the script, and Jeff gave her a very good role, with each of them playing four roles.

Jeff did not hide the role of Liu Yifei, saying that it was originally assigned to Natalie Portman, who gave the original novel to Wachowski, but she was pregnant and could not film, so the role was vacated .

"It's really amazing. I've never seen such a story." Liu Yifei was completely confused, and didn't quite understand the story.

Cheng Yu'an regretted taking Liu Yifei to see Jeff Robinov, and what he was thinking about now was how to persuade Liu Yifei to give up "Cloud Atlas".

"Bob told me this story before he retired." Cheng Yu'an carefully chose his words.

"Then why didn't you do it then?" Liu Yifei asked casually, her eyes still on the script of "Cloud Atlas".

"The copyright was already in Warner's hands at that time, and Wachowski had already started writing the script." Cheng Yu'an said, "And this movie... I don't like it." It's better to say it directly.

Liu Yifei was obviously stunned, and raised his head: "Why? This story is very good."

"David Mitchell's original story is of course very good, I mean, his story is difficult to make into a movie." Cheng Yu'an continued, "You have to think about it this way, if this is a high-quality project, why did Warner find us? "

""Inception" also found Warner, and they reciprocated."

"You make Hollywood so easy.

"We are a small factory, we can't do global distribution, and we don't have such a strong network to invite Leonardo and Nolan, so we have to cooperate with big factories, and we have to share part of the profits with them so that they can take us to play. "

Liu Yifei heard this, and it made sense, but she said: "How could you know that you would lose money before the filming of "Cloud Atlas". Such a magical story, with so many movie stars and queens, how could you lose money?"

A few days ago, I taught Liu Yifei not only to read the script, but also to read the other main creators of the crew, so she used it here.

"That's a good thing to say, but you finally opened up the situation in Hollywood with "Inception", and you have to be more careful with each of the next ones. "Cloud Atlas" is too risky, and I can't even see it. earnings outlook.

"The story is very grand, but there are too many branches, and each branch is very interesting, but the intersecting of the six story lines is to play with the audience.

"Let me tell you, once the multi-line narrative exceeds three, the audience will become impatient. Not to mention that "Cloud Atlas" has six story lines.

"The cost can't be suppressed. If he lowers the cost to less than 5000 million, I will vote."

Cheng Yu'an told Liu Yifei one by one why he didn't like "Cloud Atlas", but the young lady still couldn't listen.

"I just like this kind of story, Jeff said that I am suitable." Liu Yifei insisted on acting.

"Of course he said that you are suitable, and he wants me to pay for it." Cheng Yu'an spoke quickly.

Liu Yifei reacted very sensitively: "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting." Cheng Yu'an flatly denied it.

"You mean I depended on you to get here?"

"I didn't mean that." Of course Cheng Yu'an was sincere to the young lady, and he took it for granted to write roles for her and film for her.

Liu Yifei didn't say anything, she turned her face away and ignored him.

"I don't mean anything else, why do you show me your face?"

Still ignore him.

"You can act if you want, anyway, I won't invest in this play." Cheng Yu'an didn't want to say too much, but only hoped that she could be persuaded to come back later.

The two didn't quarrel, it was at the crew hotel, if they quarreled now, audiences all over the country would know about it in 10 minutes.

When going to bed at night, each of them washes up and then goes to bed, and no one suffers.

The next day, the crew of "My Love from the Star" held a grand press conference in Beijing. Chief director Li Guoli led the crew to answer questions from the media and held a launch ceremony after the press conference.
