Chapter 641: If you lose money while making a movie, sue the lead actor to get the money back?(2/2)
It turns out that this movie is the debut of a theatrical feature film directed by David Lynch's daughter Jennifer. She has also filmed some music videos and commercials before. Such an erotic suspense blockbuster was very exciting to put in her hands.
Irresponsible.
The film's original heroine was Madonna. After a long delay in 1991, Madonna announced her withdrawal. It was reported that she was unhappy with Jennifer Lynch.
After Kim Basinger took over, he hoped to rewrite the heroine Helena to be less accustomed to satirizing others and more suitable for her own star image. Therefore, a long-term battle broke out with Jennifer Lynch, and finally Kim Basinger
Also had to quit.
In the end, David Lynch found a girlfriend. His ex-girlfriend Isabella Rossellini, who had starred in a similar movie "Blue Velvet" directed by him, took over the role and eventually made it into a movie.
However, the movie box office was very poor. It was delayed for such a long time and the production cost exceeded 10 million. In the end, the movie only received 1.7 million at the box office.
Jennifer Lynch was so angry that she sued Kim Basinger to pay for it. In the end, I don’t know what lawyer she found or what judge she met, but she actually won the case and ordered Kim Basinger to pay compensation of more than 8 million.
, directly causing the latter to file for bankruptcy.
Richard asked Ronald if he wanted to help Kim Basinger? The relationship between her and her husband is also very tense now because Baldwin is unwilling or unable to help her on this matter.
"But you have to be careful. David Lynch must be behind this matter. Not only does the project lose money this time, but his daughter's career as a Hollywood director is completely cut off. Do you really want to offend him? He is in the arts.
There are still many supporters in the film and cult film circles..."
What Richard is talking about is David Lynch. The themes of the movies he has made over the years are very disgusting and challenge the values of ordinary people. The last movie Blue Velvet was about a gangster who kept a singer in captivity.
This time, "Beauty Boxed Helena" was even more disgusting. During the rating, it was rated NC-17 by the MPAA.
For the sake of box office, Jennifer Lynch finally had no choice but to reshoot an ending, changing the story to a story about Helena's various behaviors that exceeded the limits of human beings, which turned into a daydream of the male protagonist.
"I never liked him (David Lynch)," Ronald's debut film was almost snatched by Lynch. Besides, the TV series Twin Peaks he directed and produced also failed to finish in the second season.
, the only story that was filmed that conformed to mainstream values, was not filmed well either.
"Okay, do you want me to recommend some strong lawyers to Kim Basinger?" Richard understood, and Ronald still wanted to help. What he didn't quite know was what Ronald wanted to do.
degree.
"Yes, this verdict is too ridiculous. We have to help Basinger correct it in the appeal. Otherwise, everyone in Hollywood will be in danger. If they don't agree with the director on the movie, they will be sued for compensation? This precedent cannot be set..."
In addition, Ronald also hates people like David Lynch. It is one thing to shoot some taboo subjects, have some erotic elements, and explore the boundaries of art, but it is one thing to make those perverted people in the movie
It's another thing if the villain's values are presented as normal.
