At this moment, there are two young people in the living room, chatting passionately about the future.

"Oh my God"

"Brian, please tell me one more time, I'm not daydreaming!" Mark Nevelding said, suppressing his excitement.

Hearing this, the elegant young man sitting on the opposite sofa silently patted his forehead, waved his hand and said, "Please, buddy. You have already asked me no fewer than 100 times just this one sentence."

Mark Nevelding, pleaded guilty: "I know I'm jumpy, um, and incoherent, but you should understand me. Good God! It's been 3 years since the two of us worked together on this script of Raging Hearts." Over the past year, I have moved to more than a dozen film companies. I never imagined that the famous Wald Films would actually like our script."

In words, Mark was still very excited.

He thought he was so lucky, so happy!

"Understood, I understand, buddy." The elegant young man said solemnly.

Mark Nevelding, who is less than 30 years old, is a screenwriter and actor. He has entered the entertainment circle since 1998.

Of course, he now appears in Hollywood film and television dramas and movies mostly as extras, and at most only plays small roles with a few lines of lines. matter.

It can be said that as an actor, Mark Nevelding has failed very well.

However, he is not reconciled!

"actor?"

"Ha ha"

"Only being a director and producer is my dream! One day, I will become a Hollywood director, and I will definitely do it!"

This is what Mark Nevelding often talks about.

In the future, he succeeded. He was successful as a director, but that was in 2006, when he wrote and directed the film Rage, which was successfully released, and then he became the director of Ghost Rider 2.

"Bryan, believe me, we will succeed this time." Mark Neveldine stared at the opposite partner with burning eyes.

"I believe in you as much as I want to believe in myself."

The elegant young man named Brian Taylor, aged 29, is a composer, conductor, music producer, and performer. starter

Brian continued: "My grandfather, Walter H. Taylor, is a very successful composer. The main soundtrack of the famous Battle of Midway movie was completed by him, and he once won the Oscar for Best Art Direction."

"Influenced by my grandfather, my music career started very early. When I was 12 years old, I started traveling around the United States and Russia, performing music I composed. In the following years, I started playing in bands, trying various Instruments including piano, guitar, mandolin, keyboards, drums..."

"However, my favorite is still the movie!"

"I can't stop being excited when I think of those movies that have achieved high box office and high reputation, and the soundtrack work is done by me."

Elegant?

go aside

Before graduating from university, Brian Taylor received invitations from many musical theater troupes, but he rejected them all. As he said, he wanted to become a film soundtrack worker.

In fact, he succeeded in the future.

And it was extremely successful! starter

Reaper Series, Fast and Furious Series, Death Squad, Now You See Me, Hell Detective, Alien vs. Predator 2, Iron Man Series, Avengers Series...

Among so many films,

Brian Taylor is either the first producer of the crew's soundtrack work, or a very involved soundtrack worker.

It is no exaggeration to say that since 2006, Brian has rapidly risen in Hollywood, becoming the top soundtrack master second only to Hans Zimmer.

"Brian, tomorrow we will officially sign a contract with Walter Films. I think I won't be able to sleep tonight because of the excitement." Mark Neveldine rambled again.

No way, he was so excited!

Brian was helpless, and suddenly suggested: "How about we have some wine?"

Snapped!

Mark Neville clapped his hands excitedly: "Good idea!"

 …

the next day.

Walter Films.

Mark Nevelding and Brian Taylor rushed to the Wald Films building early, and they couldn't wait to complete the signing.

"Welcome both of you"

As for Wald Films, the person in charge of signing the contract is none other than the head of the production department and great director Zack Schneider.

"Nice to meet you, Director Zach. I really like your 300 Spartans movie, especially your scheduling of camera colors, God, you are so good!" Mark Nevelding praised .

Mark is not a director now, but it does not prevent him from having a dream of being a director.

Undoubtedly, Zack Schneider is a director he looks forward to very much.

Brian Taylor chimed in: "The soundtrack to the 300 movie is also very good, and I'd love to talk about it if I could."

"Hahaha, of course."

Zach let out a hearty laugh and said, "However, at the moment I think it's better to sign the contract for the movie "Rage Heart Attack" as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Mark and Brian nodded quickly.

soon......

Witnessed by the lawyers of both parties, the furious sale of the script, including Mark Nevelding's contract as the director of the film, and Brian Taylor's contract as the producer of the post-production music soundtrack, were signed and completed.

1. For the script of anger and heart attack, Wald Films spent 60,000 US dollars to obtain the full copyright;

2. Mark Neveldine served as the director of the film Rage, with a salary of 170,000 US dollars;

3. Brian Taylor served as the producer of the post-production music soundtrack of the film Anger, with a salary of 200,000 US dollars;

 …

There are as many as dozens of clauses, and the production cost of Anger is 12 million US dollars. It is expected that the project will be officially approved in mid-January, and the film will be completed by the end of September this year at the latest.

"Mark, your director's salary is only $170,000, don't think it's too little." Zack Schneider laughed.

Hearing this, Mark shook his head and smiled: "As far as I know, when you filmed your first film Fruit Hard Candy for Walter Films, your salary was only 150,000 U.S. dollars. Now I'm 2 dollars more than you Ten thousand dollars. What do you say I am not satisfied with?"

"You know?" Zach showed a look of interest.

"Ha ha"

Mark smiled: "I said before that I am your fan. Isn't it normal for a fan to follow idol information?"

He really has nothing to dislike.

The director's salary of 150,000 US dollars is definitely a market price for Mark, who has never directed a Hollywood movie.

Brian Taylor served as the producer of the post-production music soundtrack of the film Anger, with a salary of 200,000. It's normal to pay $30,000 more than Mark, after all, Brian is already a well-known genius.

"Boom boom boom"

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

The person who walked in was none other than Zhu Ke!

An hour later, Zhu Ke solemnly extended an invitation to Mark and Brian.

"You heard me right!"

Zhu Ke solemnly said: "I'm just inviting you to join Wald Films, you are talents!"

Talent, Zhu Ke is of course very much in need.

Especially Brian Taylor! In the original time and space, he was the main soundtrack producer of the Fast and Furious movie series. Now that Fast and Furious is about to start filming, it is the right time for him to join.

The second one is delivered.
