286. Chapter 286 No interest
Eric Brace agreed to Sean's conditions and said he would try to hand over the first draft of the script to him by the end of July. He had no choice but to agree. So far, he has contacted many film companies and only a few are interested.
But this time, I finally took the opportunity to have in-depth discussions with the producers of "Death Comes 2" with New Line. Some of them thought it was good, but when they heard that Brace wanted to direct it by himself, they immediately hesitated.
.
It is not that there are no examples of screenwriters turning directors in Hollywood and achieving success, but overall there are still very few, so film companies are generally very cautious in this regard. In this case, unless someone recommends it, or after detailed discussions,
Otherwise, it would be difficult to enter the project approval process. So Sean took a chance. When he agreed that Brace would be the director of the film, other problems were no longer a problem. It was okay to change the male protagonist to a female protagonist.
Big deal, this happens all the time in Hollywood, and it will only happen more often in the future.
So both parties were very happy. Blaise got the opportunity he had always wanted, and Sean had a way to seduce... well, I should say offer a treasure.
Of course, this will have to wait for a while, after Brace has revised the script and produced the first draft. This shouldn’t take too much time. The general plot and the desired effect have been conceived by the other party. All it takes is
Make some adjustments, and if you act quickly, it should be done by the end of July.
Even so, Miramax was the first to get the news. Frederick, who had exchanged opinions with Sean, only gave in after several arguments with Weinstein, and used this to make Weinstein
Einstein gave a salary of 8 million yuan. Although he said goodbye to the multi-million dollar club, the salary was already quite good, and the treatment was also improved a bit. It may not be comparable to Nicole, but at least it is comparable to Rachel
Flush.
Rachel Weisz is the British actress who played the leading role in the two "Tomb Raiders" movies. She is very beautiful and has a lot of temperament. She is very lucky, because the "Tomb Raiders" series is one of the few sequels whose quality is not worse than the previous one.
- At least that's the case for now - so after two movies, her net worth has increased a lot.
Originally, Sean was a little worried. According to the novel, the supporting actress Ruby is a farm girl. She does manual labor and her words and deeds are relatively rude. When the male protagonist attracts the attention of the security team, she is also the first one.
She rushed to grab the gun and fired. Rachel looked more like the kind of well-educated and respected lady. Perhaps this impression came from the female explorer in "Tomb Raider", but her image did fit that character very well.
In contrast, Renee Zellweger, the woman who gained several pounds in "BJ's Diary" and is not very beautiful, plays a British character as an American actress, is obviously more suitable for this farm girl. But in
I learned that when she was filming "Tomb Raider 2", she practiced her moves for several months for the fighting scene - she did practice, although not as much as advertised, but definitely a lot, so
Sean changed his mind again.
If an actor is dedicated enough, then he should be praised no matter what. Of course, this is all from the perspective of the producer. He unknowingly considers the issue from this standpoint. After all, Sean is also a producer now.
She is somewhat famous. From a personal point of view, he would rather play with a prettier woman. Renee Zellweger is not considered a beauty, and he has watched the two "Tomb Raiders" several times.
In addition to these, Miramax also generously stated that Sean can be postponed to report to the crew a little later, no later than the end of July. The original shooting date of the film was set for later in the year, and Minghella really didn't know which Sean to choose.
It was still Jude, so I waited until it was time to start the machine before making a decision.
However, after collecting more information, Sean felt that Minghella or Miramax were actually more inclined to Jude, but Jude gave up because the price was too high. After agreeing before, he was quite worried about the relationship with Jude.
The relationship between Germany and Germany will be affected. Although they are not particularly close, they have had a few drinks together and chatted as friends.
Unexpectedly, after looking for an opportunity to make some innuendo, he discovered that Jude didn't care at all.
"I'm not too interested in "Cold Mountain". Although Tony is a good director, I don't want to drink Miramax and make movies for the time being. They are too stingy. I asked for a salary of 10 million and dividends. They have always been
No specific answer." Jude said with a smile.
So you came here to find me, who is relatively cheap? Sean thought very depressedly, but then he thought about it, if he hadn't revealed his thoughts to Minghella on the phone, Weinstein might not have agreed to the 10 million salary, so his mood was also...
A lot better. Although his qualifications are not as good as Jude's, he is still a highly regarded actor with certain abilities. Otherwise, how could Miramax leave so much time for him to prepare?
The filming of "Italian Mission" ended after he and Brace met, and Wahlberg and the others, under the instigation of Charlize, forced Sean to go to the bar to have a few drinks to celebrate, and personally
Everyone took the initiative to attack, and Sean almost got drunk. Finally, Charlize still had some conscience, and finally drove him back. The dizzy Sean only heard her laughing all the way, and seemed very happy.
According to Galen, who helped help him in, when Charlize sent him back, the corners of his mouth were raised and his eyes were narrowed, like a proud and cunning fox.
"You'd better give up, Sean, you can't conquer such a beautiful and characterful woman." He finally warned her.
I swear to God, I don't plan to have anything more to do with her! Sean wanted to roar like this, but looking at Galen's serious expression, he really couldn't. Well, it's time to find a chance for Charlie
I would like to take a look and tell her that I am not someone to be bullied.
But not now, Miramax gave him time, more to let him figure out the character, so no matter what ideas he had, it would take a long time to implement them, and besides trying to figure out the character, there were people to appease.
"You promised me that if I agreed to this role, you would go with me when I went to Japan to shoot!" Katie, who was curled up and sitting on the bed, puffed up her cheeks and looked at Sean angrily, grabbing the pillow.
His two hands kneaded it hard.
She was wearing only a white shirt, which just reached the top of her thighs, and was a little transparent. Even if she was holding a pillow in her arms, she could still vaguely see a little bit of breasts on her chest. Her white and tender calves lay across the outside, and the scenery in the middle was also
Faintly visible, coupled with the unusually red face, I could only use my knees to figure out what happened before.
"I'm talking!" Katie raised her voice angrily and gripped the pillow tighter.
"You know, Katie, I like to see you like this the most," Sean, who was lying on the bed and twisting his head toward her, blinked, "with dissatisfied anger and a little bit of pettyness at the same time.
Proud, really very cute.”
Katie was overjoyed at first, and seemed to want to ask "Is it true?", but then she realized that she was asking for punishment, and had to straighten up her face. But then she thought, it was already too late, Xiao
En had already seen it, so he pursed his lips in frustration, and his eyes turned hateful as he looked at him, as if he wanted to pounce on him and take a bite.
"Okay, dear, I didn't expect that a role would come to my door now, and it's an important role that I can't refuse." Sean sighed softly at this time, raised half of his body, and held Katie's hand.
Hand, "Look, no plan can change quickly, right? But don't worry too much. Since I promised you, I will definitely do it."
"But you're going to Romania!" Katie was coaxed in this way, and because she had been exposed before, her voice suddenly softened, and she straightened up and sat back, feeling a little frustrated and unwilling.
In fact, she was not really angry, she was just a little dissatisfied and more disappointed, otherwise she would not have been stripped naked by Sean and pushed to the bed so easily before, and now it was still afternoon.
Yes, I want to go to Romania... Even Sean has a headache when he thinks about this. He knows that Minghella likes to show scenery in movies, and he also knows that he likes to shoot on location, but... "Cold Mountain" is about the United States
A story from the Civil War, right? What does that have to do with Romania? Why did it have to be shot there?
Well, according to the information sent by the crew, they did shoot in Virginia and Alabama, but there were also many shots in Romania... Is the American scenery so unsatisfactory to Minghella?
In short, Sean had to fly to Europe to report after he was ready, and Katie agreed to be the heroine of "The Grudge" because of Sean's recommendation. The filming of "The Grudge" was about to start. Sean had promised before that if he went to Japan
, he would definitely go over to cheer her up and have a good time in Japan, but after being interfered with like this, it seemed like he was going to break his promise.
"I don't stay there every day. There is always time between filming. Then I will go to Japan to see you." Sean lay down at this time and held Katie in his arms, whose dissatisfaction had almost disappeared.
middle.
"But...but..." Katie struggled for a moment, but her whole body went limp under his kiss.
"Don't worry, the flight from Romania to Japan is shorter than the flight from Los Angeles to Japan." Sean continued to comfort him, regardless of whether it was really shorter.
"You will coax me, you do this every time." Although Katie snorted softly, she became more and more charming.
"Okay -" Sean protracted, then blocked her mouth and kissed her almost all over her body before giving up.
This problem was solved. It has to be said that Katie is a simple and lovely girl - at least in front of Sean - it would be good if some people were like this.
"Not interested? Why?" Listening to the voice on the phone, Sean showed a stunned expression.
