"I don't care about anything else. At least he is sincere about the cat and mouse game project. This is one of the few highlights in his screenwriting career. I like his version of the script the most in the 1980s, so I still use him now." Song Ya answered.
"Have you ever thought about him, and the two scammers Abagnell will definitely come out after our film is released, maybe they will find excuses to take us to court, they will not let this go. opportunity."
Linton’s worries are normal. The original authors and screenwriters of novels often use the heat of movie releases to find their own presence. Most of them are to sell books and make announcement opportunities. Only a few, such as Forrest Gump’s original author is I was really angry. That movie changed his original work beyond recognition and even distorted the spiritual core he wanted to express. However, it was popular with the American public. This was too ironic for the original author.
"Your way of adapting is very right. I like your outline very much." Linton said: "I heard that David Geffen praised you for your strong action in doing things. This time I finally saw your sincerity...I also I see, you really want to put this story on the big screen..."
The horoscope of this project hasn’t been written yet. Song Ya has already paid a total of $500,000 for the script deposit, commissions for screenwriters and other miscellaneous items. Although the deposit of $250,000 can be returned when the project becomes yellow, the attitude itself is. Already can explain the problem.
"I am not a liar in the story." Song Ya smiled.
"Twenty million investment..." Linton gritted his teeth, lost in thought.
Intentions return to intentions. The Hollywood film industry he controls is a company that needs to strictly control the budget below $5 million. Regardless of prudence or carelessness, this is the positioning of Hollywood Pictures within Disney, which is more than $5 million. Live-action commercial films are the work of Touchstone Pictures. Animations belong to the Disney Animation Department, and independent films and art films belong to Miramax. They are clearly divided.
"That line doesn't exist, it's just an internal part of work, not strict rules and regulations, right?"
But there is no way, the right of adaptation is in their hands, and Linton refuses to let go. Song Ya has to work hard against him, "No one will blame the winners, as long as we succeed."
"This requires a lot of courage APLUS."
Linton smiled bitterly, "Betting on his career courage."
"Perhaps we can bring in Touchstone Pictures and jointly fund it?" Song Ya took the opportunity to ask.
"No, no, I would rather involve outsiders than Disney's own people."
Linton quickly refused, "Can the length of the movie be reduced? Otherwise, I can't handle the scheduling."
"Wait until we enter the editing process. I have no objection in principle."
The original film of Apocalypse is indeed a bit lengthy, but it is Apocalypse. Song Ya has not made up his mind to change the things given by Apocalypse. He plans to drag it first and solicit opinions from the creator when the film enters post-production.
"Without Tom Hanks or Christopher Walken, we can't afford them." Linton confirmed again.
"This is a man film. The script needs three outstanding male actors to play." Song Ya said: "But I also agree that Tom Hanks is absolutely unaffordable."
This kind of script is given to the Oscar actor who has just relied on Forrest Gump to make a big success. It is basically impossible for him to drop the pay, and where can the drop go? Hollywood superstars who can carry the box office alone are not for charity.
"A good middle-aged actor is not a scarce resource." Linton said: "But the box office appeal is hard to say."
"Yes."
The two talked about the director again. The director didn’t want to compromise on Song Ya. This movie is much more difficult than the filming of my life. The same is true for camera and editing. No first-class creative team will definitely not be able to play it~ www.mtlnovel.com~ For the time being, I don’t have a clue. I will talk about it after the script is finished. I will take it to the big directors who have schedule. "Linton said.
"In the name of Hollywood Pictures?" Song Ya asked, this company is not in the eyes of excellent directors in Hollywood.
"I will find friends from the parent company to come forward together, or add CAA."
Linton blinked and Katzenberg was gone. He had a better life at Disney. Recently, there have been rumors that Disney boss Michael Eisner intends to introduce his friend, CAA boss Ovitz to Disney as president. This means CAA will take over most of the packaging business of the Disney series.
"Ok."
Song Ya nodded and agreed. Because of the poor personal relationship between Linton and Katzenberg, he could not get the help of David Geffen and Spielberg on this project. They are two groups.
"Also, Xiao Lizi's schedule is full next year, and we may not get him either." Linton said again.
"What?"
It's not possible without him. Song Ya can't imagine any male star in this era who can replace the little plum in the cat and mouse game. "There is absolutely no compromise. I only want him."
Linton looked over strangely, "I have already contacted his agent. He is really no schedule. After being nominated for an Oscar male match by a different sky, he went crazy for the show. Next year he has a basketball diary and is fatal. Pleasure, total eclipse love, Marvin’s room is going to be released, I heard that he is also planning to fight for James Cameron’s Titanic project male lead, how many dramas are there? He has not enough foundation, it is impossible to come to pick us up The drama, otherwise you will be scolded to death. Now it is very dangerous."
"Is it so red... Give it to me, he owes me." Song Ya took the matter over.
"I owe you...huh?"
Linton's betting vision is more complicated.
Chicago 1990 Chapter 589: Bejeweled
"We are very grateful for your support to Leonardo, but..."
As a result, Song Ya himself hit a wall. Xiao Lizi’s manager was embarrassed but firmly refused the invitation. "Now his film is scheduled for 1997, I am really sorry."
"Have you read the script?" Song Ya pointed to the script that he had brought. "Although it is an early version, you can see that the role of the male lead will be very attractive and brilliant. I think it is especially suitable for him."
"Now he is not suitable for acting as a liar, or a scumbag ex-boyfriend who steals songs." His agent said: "There are some in the next year's film about which Ruifan Phoenix talked about before his death. Ruifan is dead, chance It’s his, and we can’t risk another acting path now."
It is because of the card position, young, handsome, idol and acting, able to be liked by professional film critics and the general public at the same time. These characteristics are shared by Xiaoli and Ruifan. The front Dashan has made his own way. He must Taking advantage of the fact that these two years have firmly occupied the niche space left by the other party, this is a fundamental problem in career planning, and he and his agent have no distractions.
And they seem to have some opinions on the role of the scumbag ex-boyfriend that Song Ya wanted him to play last time. In hindsight, playing that kind of unpleasant role is indeed a pitfall for his career. Therefore, both parties used to The accumulated friendship may have been invalidated, at least in the eyes of the other party.
"Then playing GAY, is it okay for the sucker?" Song Ya also wanted to fight, alluding to the total eclipse love and basketball diary that the other party took for Xiao Lizi.
"Isn't it all the content of the award-winning art film? The judges just like it." The opponent stood up and stretched out his hand.
"Well, he missed a great opportunity."
Song Ya was not too happy, so Linda put away the script, dropped a word and shook hands and left.
In this way, the cat and mouse game is absolutely completely different. Song Ya originally wanted to use the means to change Xiao Li's heart, but after discussing with Yeremov and Linton, he felt that it was too difficult to operate and spent so much resources on it. It's not necessary. Since the second man will not choose Tom Hanks, why does the male lead have to be Xiaolizi? Some things in my life have also been changed. Sooner or later, it will be a matter of time before the original film of Apocalypse is changed. Living people can't let the urine suffocate.
