Entertainment: God-level director

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing the widowed sister suddenly looking at him warily, Lin Ran couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

“nothing.”

Scarlett John forced a smile.

Lin Ran stopped chatting and asked about the character.

The widow sister had obviously put in a lot of effort, and immediately talked about her understanding of the character.

“Scarlett, you have great ideas. Lin Ran said with satisfaction.

“What about this role?”

The widowed sister looked at Lin Ran expectantly.

Last year, the production cost of”Ghost in the Shell” starring the widowed sister was as high as 110 million. As a result, the box office in the United States was only 40 million US dollars, and the global box office was only 169 million US dollars..Absolutely a huge loss!

As I said before, Hollywood production companies are very realistic. No matter how big a star you are, once you get a starring role in a big production, you will almost never get another starring role in a big production.

Therefore, the current widowed sister is eager to prove her appeal with another blockbuster!

But the Hollywood production company dare not use her, so Lin Ran’s new film is her only chance.

And the investment in Lin Ran’s new film, According to what she learned from Ronald Meier, it was a full US$150 million (actual US$130 million, publicity US$150 million)!

Such a big production, even if”Ghost in the Shell” did not hit the market, it would be a big deal for her It is also a huge temptation.

Not only the widowed sister was attracted, but when the news spread that the heroine of Lin Ran’s new film would be selected from Hollywood actresses, many Hollywood actresses were fighting for the opportunity.

There was no way, Lin Ran had two consecutive The movie’s box office has exceeded US$600 million, which has proven his strength.

Faced with the eager eyes of other competitors, the pressure on the widowed sister is great.

“I can leave it to you and ask your agent to negotiate the contract.”

Lin Ran didn’t sell it anymore.

“OK”

The widowed sister’s eyes lit up and she quickly agreed.

After chatting for a few more words, the widowed sister offered to take her leave. Lin Ran didn’t try to persuade her to stay, but just asked her to go back and prepare well.

“It seems that I misunderstood Lin.”

After the widowed sister left Lin Ran’s room, she secretly thought in her heart that she heard that Chinese men are very single-minded in their relationships. I guess Lin is such a man.

After leaving the hotel and getting into her car, the agent who was traveling with her quickly asked Said:”Scarlett, how was the conversation?”

“It went very well, Lin has confirmed that I will play the role, and you can go and negotiate the contract.”

The widowed sister said with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll book a flight ticket right away and go to China tomorrow! The agent waved his fist and said excitedly:”This Chinese has succeeded twice in a row, and he should succeed this time too!””

“I have this hunch too!”

The widowed sister is also full of excitement

……

The next morning, Lin Ran went to Fantasy Pictures for inspection.

In the afternoon, he flew to San Francisco and went to Industrial Light and Magic to discuss special effects cooperation.

It is worth mentioning that after completing the financing, Ranmeng Pictures also acquired a special effects studio, but it is currently not large in scale and not very strong, and can only afford a small part of the special effects shots.

Most of the shots still had to be completed by other special effects companies. Lin Ran naturally chose Industrial Light and Magic, the strongest company in the industry. They had also collaborated on”The Wandering Earth” before.

“Lin, what help do you need from us this time?”

Industrial Light & Magic Chief Technology Officer John Knoll personally received Lin Ran and asked after greetings.

“John, this time I’m filming a science fiction film about interstellar travel, so I first need you to help me build three spaceships.”

“Three ships?”

“Yes, there are three types of spaceships set in the movie, namely the Ranger, the Lander and the Endurance.”

“This is a big project”

“I believe this is not a problem at all for ILM.”Lin Ran gave a small flattery.

“Haha, that’s right, our Industrial Light & Magic is definitely the strongest special effects company in the industry!”

John Noel’s tone was full of pride.

After talking for an entire afternoon, Lin Ran left Industrial Light and Magic.

On the way back to the hotel, he opened Twitter to check the news, and then saw a hot search related to himself.

#Scarlett John will star in Lin Ran’s new film #

Click on the topic and it turns out that TMZ broke the news that it received news from an insider in the industry that Scarlett John will star in Lin Ran’s new film.

TMZ is an entertainment news website owned by America Online, which mainly reports celebrity gossip news.

In 2009, TMZ was the first to report that Michael J.���It became famous after the news of Xun’s sudden death, and now it is already a very influential entertainment website.

Therefore, when TMZ reported on its website that the widowed sister would star in Lin Ran’s new film, it didn’t take long for her to be trending on Twitter.

After reading the comments from netizens, I found that most of them are positive, and many netizens are looking forward to his new film.

Lin Ran couldn’t help but smile. He now has some fans in the United States.

Not long after returning to the hotel, Elle Fanning also came

“Lin, has Scarlett John been confirmed as the heroine of your new film?”

“Well, Ellie, you are too young and really not suitable for this role.”

Lin Ran comforted.

In fact, it is not only the problem of being too young, but also the problem of popularity.

Elle Fanning’s global popularity is far less than that of the widow.

There is no way, the role of Black Widow in Marvel is too Success.

Since Lin Ran wants to choose a Hollywood actress to boost overseas box office, he will definitely choose an actress with high global reputation.

“I understand, after all, it is such a big investment.”

Elle Fanning said this, but she still felt a little disappointed in her heart.

This is a large-scale production with an investment of 150 million US dollars. Even if it is placed in Hollywood, it is still an A-level large-scale production.

If she can become the heroine of this movie, It was of great help in improving her status as a celebrity.

“Ellie, there is a small supporting role of a few minutes in the movie, would you like to play it? Lin

Ran suddenly felt something in his heart and asked.

“I’d rather do it myself, but I have to discuss it with my agent.”Elle Fanning isn’t sure

“I understand.”

Lin Ran nodded and didn’t force it.

Of course it would be better to have more celebrity guest stars. If not, it doesn’t matter. Whether a science fiction blockbuster can be a hit depends on whether the plot is good and whether the special effects are explosive.

……

After finishing the matter in the United States, Lin Ran flew back the next day.

As soon as she returned to China, Wang Ziwen told her that the widow’s agent had offered a salary of US$10 million, which was already beyond the salary budget.

“$10 million is too much, $5 million at most. Lin Ran frowned.

“The $5 million price may not be negotiated, as her agent has a tough tone.”

Wang Ziwen shook her head

“Widow Sister just bought a big production last year, and now she doesn’t have the capital to ask for a high price. If she really wants 10 million US dollars, she threatens to replace her.”

Lin Ran said without hesitation.

A salary of 5 million US dollars is actually a lot. Gal Gadot’s salary for starring in”Wonder Woman” was only 300,000 US dollars.

If Gal Gadot had not received the salary before starring in”Wonder Woman”, No matter how famous she is, it’s normal for the pay to be so low.

Then look at Brie Larson. Her pay for starring in”Captain Marvel” was only $5 million.

And a year before she starred in”Captain Marvel”, she had already earned”Room” won the 73rd Golden Globe Award for Best Actress and the 88th Academy Award for Best Actress. She is definitely no longer a nobody.

“Okay, I’ll try to talk about it.”

Wang Ziwen nodded.

After Wang Ziwen left, Lin Ran suddenly remembered something and sent a WeChat message to Cheng Xiao.
