American Peanuts

Chapter 99 How to Get a Role (33)

"PB Pictures has indeed no precedent for releasing mainstream commercial blockbusters, and I have to admit this. However, PB has prepared a complete set of plans. As for whether it is effective or not, everyone involved, including me, can only decide. Let’s wait and see. Considering that this is my first time working with you, I feel it is necessary to show some sincerity and let you have an explanation when you go back.”

"PB Pictures can sign a buyout distribution contract and promise a total box office of no less than US$[-] million."

As soon as Charlie said this, the person in charge of Hasbro, who raised objections before, stopped talking completely.

Charlie never lags behind when it’s time to be decisive. Can Transformers achieve a box office of [-] million?

Of course, even without him, the box office could still exceed [-] million, but with his participation, the box office would actually decrease?
This is obviously a very low probability event. He has the ability to screw up a movie, but it doesn't mean that he will screw up a movie every time.

To put it bluntly, even if a small probability event does happen, it will not lose too much money in the end. Using this money to allow the company to gain distribution experience in super-A-level production is not a particularly bad thing.

That's why Charlie dared to directly announce this resolution at this time.

Of course, Hasbro hopes someone can tell the truth, so they won't say much.

"Of course, according to the rules, more responsibilities also means more responsibilities. For the box office exceeding 5000 million, I hope PB Pictures can get a higher share of the accounts." Naturally, Charlie will not let go of earning money. The opportunity for more profits cannot always be taken in vain.

The entire meeting lasted for nearly a whole day. At the end, Brad Gray wanted Charlie to stay and have a dinner together, but Charlie refused.

Return to the hotel in the evening and meet Gal Gadot.

"How was the audition? Did it go well?" Charlie asked.

Gal Gadot thought about it, and tried to say, "It doesn't look good."

"What is the specific process?"

"It's just a normal audition with makeup, including some action parts."

"The other party is not satisfied with you?"

"It's not that I'm not dissatisfied, I'm just a little uninterested. I waited for two hours. They only asked me a few questions and then asked me to leave. It took less than 20 minutes." Gal Gadot revealed more details.

Could it be that there are some variables?You must know that Fast and Furious 4 is still very important to Gal Gadot. Without this film, her future stardom will also be affected.

"Who is interviewing?" Charlie asked.

"Vin Diesel, Lin Yibin, and two assistant directors."

Vin Diesel's bald head is not just a starring role. In fact, he also serves as a producer. The entire series is marked with his strong personal label.Later, conflicts arose with Dwayne Johnson and he was unwilling to hand over control, so the entire film series came to a standstill.

Lin Yibin is one of the core creators of the entire series and has served as director many times in the series.

Behind Universal is Comcast, which is no match for Paramount.I am both Iron Man and Transformers, so it makes sense for me to be considered a member of the Paramount family.

"I know." Charlie Rossi nodded.

The first person who comes to mind is naturally Spielberg. He has cooperated with Universal many times, but Charlie does not completely trust him, and there is a high probability that he will not come forward to intercede for him.For a very simple reason, Gal Gadot was recommended to him by him, and now Gal Gadot has defected to him.Although he didn't say anything, he didn't know what he was thinking.

After thinking about it, Militang had to be the one to do it.

"Friend, it's just an inconspicuous female character. We have so many projects, can't we just arrange a role?"

"Of course not. She is very suitable for this role. Maybe she will become an instant hit?"

"How can it be as easy as you said? Listen, boss, I can't help you with this matter. Bully may have a way. The family has some business dealings with Kongscart. You can give it a try."

So Charlie cheekily called Boli again, and after a while, the call was transferred to her.

"What's the matter?"

"The good news is that we squeezed into the Transformers project, and we might be able to make a lot of money."

"Is this why you called?"

"Actually, I still have a small favor that I need you to do..."

·
In the hotel suite, a man and a woman walked into the room, both of them drunk.

Director Lin smiled and said: "Baby, you are really suitable for this role."

The other person had just attended an interview this afternoon and would not mind chatting with him about related topics in the evening. The two had just had a meal and were ready to continue in-depth communication in the room.

While they were making out, the phone suddenly rang.

As soon as Director Lin saw the caller ID, he immediately pushed away the people around him.

After answering the phone, he smiled bitterly and said to the girl next to him.

"Sorry, something went wrong and you may not be able to get this role. This position is occupied, but don't worry, you have other roles, but the role will be reduced."

"What? That's not what you said this afternoon." She pushed Director Lin against the wall.

"F**k you!" she stormed off.

·
"Okay, I understand, thank you, thank you for giving me this opportunity." Gal Gadot answered the phone and said happily when she heard that she had passed the audition.

"No, it's not me... If you have something to do with me, why didn't you explain it at the beginning?" Director Lin couldn't help complaining on the phone.

Gal Gadot was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Sorry, I..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I need to rest now. I'll send you the script later. You can think about the role carefully and get a feel for it. Someone will notify you in advance before filming officially starts." The other party hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, Gal Gadot took a long breath.

Come to think of it, Charlie played a role in this?
·
Early the next morning, when she was about to knock on the door and thank Charlie, the door opened by itself, and it was Artis who opened the door.

"Shh... the boss is talking about something, you have to wait at the door first." Artis whispered.

The moment the door closed, Gal Gadot saw the figure in the room.

It's actually Nicole Kidman!That Hollywood superstar.

Why did she appear here, Gal Gadot looked at Artis suspiciously.

"Not because of the role, but there is a good script, and now two actresses are competing for it." Artis explained.

"Who is the other person?"

"Kate Winslet. The heroine of the Titanic."

"Oh my God~" Gal Gadot sighed.

She originally thought that Charlie was just a new player who had just entered Hollywood and was ambitious, but now it seems...

I slightly underestimated his strength. Not only did he easily help me solve the role, but now he is also in contact with actresses of Nicole Kidman's level.

"Is your role going well? The other party didn't make things difficult for you, right?" Artis asked at this time.

"Thanks to Charlie, I got the role smoothly."

"That's good. I can only say that the other party is pretty good, not like Charlie. If you ask me, he asked the two people to come here separately... maybe he has some thoughts beyond the role." Artis speculated, and At the same time, an unknown smile appeared on his face.
