Stars start from saving facial paralysis

Chapter 544 The "Avatar" of this world is present

Chen Fan stayed in Eagle Country for five days.

During the period, he met the director Michael Bay and the heroine Megan Fox of the "Transformers" crew who signed Tang's new contract.

As a well-known science fiction film director in Eagle Country, the contract signed by Michael and Tang has very loose rules for both parties.

It is mainly a symbolic form.

The contract signed by Tang and Megan Fox is different. It is not only extremely binding, but also entrusts both parties with many obligations and responsibilities.

Although Megan was last year's global beauty pageant champion, but in Hollywood Vanity Fair, she is just a rookie in the entertainment industry.

Although his appearance is sexy and hot, what Hollywood lacks most is such vase actors.

Compared with vases, Hollywood prefers some actresses with excellent acting skills and image.

But even though Megan is a newcomer in the entertainment industry, there are several film and television companies pursuing him.

In the end, she chose to join Tang because of the casting of the heroine of "Transformers".

When Michael and Guo Liangsheng cast this role, they had one requirement: sexy.

There is no requirement for acting skills or the like.

Megan, who had just entered Hollywood, was so ambitious that she finally joined the cast of "Transformers" and became the heroine by signing a "prostitution contract".

For actors with similar images, Tang will naturally give priority to using his own actors.

In addition to the "Transformers" crew, Chen Fan also met with Barry Sonam, the young Eagle Country director who was preparing to direct "Men in Black".

This young director has also worked hard in Hollywood for nearly ten years, during which time he also raised investment and directed some low-budget comedies, but the response was not very good.

The reason why Guo Liangsheng took a fancy to him was because Guo Liangsheng had met Barry a few times when he was in Times Pictures.

It's just that he was still a follower of a great director at that time.

What the outside world doesn't know is that Barry suggested some ideas to the crew at the time, and they all became the highlights of that movie.

Guo Liangsheng was deeply impressed by Barry's high EQ and flexible mind at that time.

The investment cost of "Men in Black" is not low, almost one hundred million yuan.

With Chen Fan giving Guo Liangsheng great power, Guo Liangsheng finally decided to give Barry a chance.

If it succeeds, Tang will definitely have another new and outstanding director.

Because of Peter the Great, Tang doesn't need to make the expected ten films now.

This also relieved Sheng Tang's financial pressure.

Now it only needs to solve the last film that Tang intends to produce, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", and the recent work will naturally end.

At that time, we can prepare new movies after the completion of the four movies that started filming last year.

For example, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" that was prepared before.

Of the four films last year, the two horror films "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Chain Saw" were shot in November with the fastest progress.

After all, it can only be called a low-cost production, and now almost all of them are close to the end of the finalization.

And "The Incredible Hulk" and "Jurassic Park," which started filming a month earlier than those two movies, will take a while.

Of these two films, the one with the fastest progress is "The Incredible Hulk".

"Mr. Chen, Kanada finally rejected our invitation. Now I plan to communicate with our second candidate, Rupert."

Chen Fan nodded.

It is indeed a pity that "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" did not invite Kanada, the king of commercial films, but as long as there are other suitable director candidates, he will not care too much about it.

Today's prosperous Tang movies invite directors and actors, and fame is only one of the directions.

Rupert's full name is Rupert Watt, a native of Europa, and he has been in Hollywood for twenty years.

He once directed some sci-fi movies, and he is considered a qualified director of commercial films. Although he is not as famous as Kanada, he is the only one who can only choose him now that there are not many choices.

……

The next day, Tang directly signed a contract with Rupert, and the film "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is expected to start shooting before May.

Two days later, Tang finally signed with Peter Jackson.

Tang's No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] crews were temporarily merged into the "Lord of the Rings" crew under the command of Peter Jackson.

Among them, the first crew has participated in the filming of "Iron Man", and the members of the eighth and tenth crews have also been in Hollywood for many years.

Peter is no stranger to the recently famous "Iron Man".

After inspecting these crew members, I felt a lot more assured about their abilities.

At least Tang didn't fool himself with random people.

The remuneration agreed by the two parties was finally set at 2000 million Yingyuan.

This salary is already the highest salary in Hollywood and even the world film industry.

Even Kanada, the king of commercial films, has never received these remunerations, plus the box office share.

It was as expected by Chen Fan.

The reason why Peter proposed a two-point split is actually to ease the financial pressure on the film in its early stages.

In his opinion, the final box office of this film may be 10-15 billion yuan. If Tang agrees to his request, then the film salary he can get is about 2000-3000 million.

Coupled with the bargaining between the two parties, Peter's psychological bottom line is a point, and the final salary will be cut in half.

But now that Tang is rich and powerful, he is willing to pay him 2000 million yuan directly, which has exceeded his psychological expectations. Peter naturally doesn't have much thought about money.

Chen Fan took the time to chat with Peter in detail for a long time.

Not to mention Chen Fan's identity as Tang's boss, Peter also attached great importance to his identity as the screenwriter of "Lord of the Rings".

The two sides chatted about the core of the script and analyzed the important characters.

In the end, both sides got mutual recognition.

Chen Fan can also safely hand over this film to Peter the Great.

After Peter arranges the scene and actors, he will promote the movie.

These things took Chen Fan almost ten days.

And just when Chen Fan was about to leave for Europa, a piece of news that shocked the world's film industry was released by Universal Pictures.

The movie "Avatar" directed by the king of commercial films and directed by Universal Pictures with an investment of 3.5 million eagles has officially started shooting.

When the news came out, it immediately sparked heated discussions around the world.

The investment of 3.5 million eagle yuan is unprecedented in the history of today's film industry.

So far, the highest record of film investment is "Star Wars" produced by Tang Dynasty, which is only two hundred million yuan.

This "Avatar" almost doubled the investment.

And the combination of Kannada and Universal Pictures is the combination of Wang and Wang.

One is the holder of the world's comprehensive box office record, and the other is the film company with the most abundant funds and the longest history.

It's almost impossible for this movie to be any worse.

The person who was most shocked when hearing the news was undoubtedly Chen Fan.

This is the first time he has heard that the name of a movie produced in this world is exactly the same as a movie in the system!
