Chapter 460: Let me come in person.
Nicole and Paisley had lunch at a restaurant and received a call from Paula Wagner.
Although the Motorola microtac sound quality that relies on analog signal transmission is not very good, Nicole and Paula Wagner talked, but still heard the other party's tone is helpless and lonely.
I watched Nicole hang up the phone and listened to the two-person call, and she asked: "Bola refused?"
Nicole snorted, Paula Wagner chose Cruise this time, but Nicole was not discouraged. Although Paula Wagner gave up the "Smiths" for the production company of Cruise, it has already appeared between the two sides. gap. If Cruise's movie is successful, everything will be fine, but if things go in the opposite direction, then the break of the two sides is a matter of time.
"It's a good understanding. After all, Paula has been working with Tom for so many years, and between them..." sent Jinsili shrugged and didn't say anything more, but Nicole knew that there was nothing more than between the agent and the actor. That point of breaking things, but with Nicole's understanding of Cruise's character, they must have been Paula Wagner's move to Cruise.
Nicole didn't talk to the party about the interest of these gossips. She was about to call Eric to inform the incident and sent Jin Sili's cell phone to ring.
"Hey, I sent Jin Sili... Paula," sent Jin Sili, raising her eyebrows and looking at the Nicole next to her eyes. He continued: "Is there anything I can do..."
After a few minutes, Jin Si Li looked complicated and hung up the phone and stood there. Paula Wagner called. Inform her that Tom Cruise is going to cancel the broker contract with her.
Nicole also heard this. Looking at the appearance of Sendis, I said, "Sorry, Pat, I didn't expect it to be like this."
"It doesn't blame you, Nicole," sent Jin Sili quickly smiled and said: "In fact, this is good. I always hope to be able to agent several artists, but just sign one more. He just like this. It’s morning and evening to be part of the way.”
Nicole stepped forward to hold the party, and whispered, "Will, I will ask you to eat again?"
"Well, I don't blame you for saying this," said Jin Si Li, who was a few years older than Nicole. She looked like Nicole as a little girl, and the original mustard disappeared: "Return Yes, I remind you that you have just eaten enough. For your sake, I suggest you exercise for at least half an hour at night. Don't care about these things, many actresses are not paying attention to these small things. The details are only slowly getting out of shape."
"I know I know," Nicole said, obediently: "So, what are you going to do in the afternoon?"
"I have a contract with Cruise for a year and a half. He wants to unilaterally terminate the contract. Of course, I have to discuss with him about compensation." Sending Jin Sili replied: "And, I have already taken a fancy. A few good actors, since they have to cancel the contract with Cruise, just talk to them about the signing, hey, you won’t sign another person like Cruise?”
Nicole certainly didn't care. After Cruise left, she was the biggest trump card in the hands of Kingsley. Even if she signed other people now, she would put most of her energy on herself for a long time. Body: "Despite your signing, if they are acting well, I can help you talk to Eric. I have a few auditions for the role, but it is just an audition. If I can't make it, I can't be sure. Rely on their strength."
The audition quotas obtained directly from Eric are definitely the big production movies that are directly operated by iResearch. Although commercial films restrict the actors' space, they are definitely a great opportunity to brush their popularity. Therefore, Even the supporting roles in these movies have caused many lesser-known second and third-line actors to break the scalp.
Listening to Nicole, it is certainly not polite to send Jin Sili: "That's it."
"Of course," Nicole smiled and went to send her to the side of the line: "Secretly tell you something, don't go out and say, "Jurassic Park," you know?"
Sending Jin Sili nodded, of course she could not have known this.
"Eric said that all the actors in this movie can only get the minimum salary set by the union, so you understand?"
Sending Jin Sili’s eyes flashed and quickly understood that the actors could only get the minimum wage of the union. This is a measure often taken by many well-known big directors to save the production budget. However, there are very few directors who dare to propose such conditions in Hollywood. Eric now has enough qualifications now.
However, since this condition is proposed, unless it is an Olympiad movie, those popular Hollywood first-line stars will not easily consider joining the film, then the opportunity will be reserved for those second- and third-line actors.
Most of Hollywood's popular stars already have a stable team of agents. What they want to sign in the Golden Ash plan are those who are in second- and third-line acting but have great potential. Nicole told her in advance about the matter, and she could prepare for her in advance than her brokerage firm. Maybe she could get a few roles in Jurassic Park.
"Thank you, Nicole," sent Kingsley almost wanting to kiss Nicole to kiss her. She even made up her mind and will temporarily ask Cruise for compensation for this need. Let's take down the broker's contract of the actors as soon as possible and concentrate on deploying the role of Jurassic Park.
Separated from the party, she was sitting in the driver's seat and was a little excited. The three women of tg film company formed a small circle around Eric, and of course she was not willing to be so alone. Now, a good first step has been taken, isn't it?
......
"Since Paula Wagner gave up this position, I will come in person," Eric said after getting news from Nicole.
When Catherine Bigelow filmed "The Shocking Point", Eric had already served as a producer. In fact, the work of the producer is not as mysterious as ordinary people think, most of the time. The producer is like a silk thread. All aspects related to film production will be perfectly connected. In addition to being cumbersome and requiring a lot of control, this job does not involve anything too esoteric.
Moreover, unlike the Hollywood filmmakers who need to be close to each other, in the position of Eric, there are many things that he only needs to move his mouth, and someone will do things well.
When Disney and Columbia, who co-developed the "Smiths", learned that Eric would personally act as a producer, of course, they also agreed. There is no long incubation period at all. The "Smiths" soon entered the stage where the script had been fully funded, and several groups began the film's early stage according to the requirements of the script.
On the director's side, the invitation of fireflies through Jiahe was quickly passed to Wu Baige. Although it was not a big deal for Hollywood, Wu Baige’s acceptance of Hollywood’s invitation to direct the film caused a sensation throughout Southeast Asia. In the past few days, the news was reported on the front page.
Hollywood has always been a movie sacred place for Hong Kong filmmakers or world filmmakers. Because of the ethical advantages, filmmakers in Western countries want to join Hollywood, which is much easier than the Oriental filmmakers. Therefore, every Oriental filmmaker who can make a name for himself in Hollywood will be popular with the locals.
therefore. This incident became surprisingly smooth. After Wu Baige accepted the invitation, he rushed to Los Angeles in mid-March. Because of the emphasis on this opportunity, although there are not many punches in the movie, Wu Baige still At his own expense, he brought a team of martial arts.
The firefly photography base in Prea Vista is very close to Los Angeles International Airport. After Wu Baige got off the plane, Eric brought people directly to the place.
"Hello, Mr. Wu, welcome to Los Angeles," Eric and Wu Baige shook hands at the gate of the studio base and smiled and said hello.
"Hello, Mr. Williams, I am also very honored to meet you. I like your movie very much." Wu Baige is very familiar with it. Hong Kong is now a British colony. Many Hong Kong people don’t even speak Mandarin. But most people speak English without any problems.
"Thank you, let me introduce, this is Mr. Stan Winston. He is a very good special effects artist and a ceo of the digital field special effects company. This is Robert Huggins, vice president of Columbia Film Company. This is The heroine of "Smiths", Miss Nicole Kidman, this is my assistant, Alan Fesman..." Eric introduced one by one, and Wu Baige held a hand with each other.
After the introduction, Wu Baige thought about it, but did not introduce his own followers. Compared with these Hollywood tycoons, he himself can only be regarded as a small person. The martial arts instruction he brought is from Yuanjiaban in Hong Kong. But I can't take it.
However, Eric took the initiative to ask, and Wu Baige briefly introduced it.
After a few chills, Eric walked into the studio base with Wu Baige and others. He just walked into the park, and all the people including Wu Baige showed a surprised look. Compared with Hong Kong. The studio, the studio here can only be described as spectacular.
At the beginning, Eric scored 100 hectares of land in Prea Vista. In addition to the studio, there are a large number of supporting buildings. Now the number of fixed employees in the studio base has exceeded 200. Count the employees in the digital field.
“These are just regular studios. In addition, there are two virtual digital studios dedicated to special effects scenes under construction. It is expected to be available next year,” Eric personally brought. Wu Baige and others turned around and walked into the office of the administrative building.
At this time, he was left with only Nicole, Wu Baige, and two assistant producers of the "Smiths". After the Colombian vice president showed up, he left.
Stan Winston simply happened to call the office in the digital field after he greeted him. Although the special effects work of Tornado was over, the project of Jurassic Park did not start, but last year’s Terminator 2) At the beginning, the special effects film project received in the digital field has already turned his busy axis. Several assistants brought by Wu Baige were taken to the settlement by Allen in advance.
"Mr. Wu, I have a vacant villa in Beverly Hills. You can live there temporarily during the filming. If you have any needs, you can call my assistant. Of course, you can also find me directly. ""
Wu Baige is obviously somewhat flattered. Before he came, he got some information about Eric from Mr. Zou, and he also heard some cases of Hollywood discriminating against the future. For Eric's courtesy Wu Baige even felt a little uneasy: "Thank you, Mr. Williams, but let's talk about movies?"
"Of course, no problem," Eric nodded with a smile. He also realized the personal feelings of Wu Baige. However, after a few years, he finally saw a colleague on the other side, even though this peer did not have a reputation in the mainland. It's too good, but it doesn't hinder his natural closeness.
A complete "Smiths" script was handed to Wu Baige. Because of the need for confidentiality, Wu Baige only saw a simple outline in Hong Kong. Looking at Wu Baige to open the script, Eric said: "Mr. Wu, you can watch the script in private. Let's talk about the production of this movie. You have already read the outline of the story. Let me talk about your thoughts?"
“Okay,” Wu Baige said, taking out some of the documents that had been prepared from the briefcase that he had carried and handing it to Eric. “This is some of my thoughts, Williams. Sir, you can look at it first."
Eric looked through and found that there was not much text in the document, most of which was only a sub-picture, but because of the ready-made movies in his mind, Eric quickly recognized the scenes involved in these drawings.
"According to the next glimpse, this "Smiths" is an action movie, but it is a metaphor for marriage between men and women. Therefore, during the filming process, I hope to use some external scenery to show This point, such as the villa where the two lived, I hope to be simple and chilly style, symbolizing the gap between the male and female protagonists, and the villa was eventually blown up, which is equal to the gap between men and women. Disappeared, the emotional transition between the male and female protagonists in the film began with the scene of the villa being blown up."
