Chapter 593
"No butt and chin."
There are indeed a bunch of handsome guys, all kinds of styles. They can be regarded as infinitely masculine. Song Ya was so dazzled that he went through them all, and picked out four of them and rejected them. A sense of youth..."
"I understand, I understand, you will have the opportunity to cooperate with Xiao Li in the future, don't be discouraged by APLUS." Linton comforted with a smile.
"Well, I don't like Mr. Linton. Stop making such jokes."
Song Ya felt that the other party really wanted to be wrong, so he quickly corrected it.
"I get it, I get it, uh..."
Linton took the resumes of the three actors, "Brandon Fisher, Ben Affleck, and Chris O'Donnell are all good-looking, right? They have also proved their acting skills through their works. Brandon Fisher is now The development momentum is very good, and it’s rare to be willing to lower the price to star in a commercial film, but...you don’t like it.” He threw back the resume of the fourth actor.
"Their faces are too mature and not sunny enough."
Song Ya saw that the name on the resume of the actor thrown back by Linton was Joaquin Phoenix, "What does this person say?"
"He is Rui Fan's younger brother, his own younger brother."
"Rui Fan Phoenix? Oh! Is he the younger brother at the scene of Rui Fan's death?"
"Yes."
Linton said: "It's still early for our project to officially start. The resumes of the people in front of you are all sent by their managers after they inquired about the news from the directors I approached. Maybe those directors even secretly revealed The content of the script, so... behind them are some very well-informed guys."
"I see."
Song Ya nodded. The actors who got the news so early must have some background. Jacques Phoenix is Rui Fan’s younger brother. Some people who like Rui Fan will empathize with him. It’s really not good to reject an actor with a tragic color so early .
"Like them, Mark Damon and Anthony Rapp."
Linton put the two resumes together with the resumes of the three who were eliminated by Song Ya at a glance, "These five people have all acted in High School, I took the script to the director of that film, Robert Mondale, so……"
"This Anthony Rapp is not good either. He is handsome, but he is very ordinary. Mark Damon...not bad."
Song Ya took back Mark Damon's resume and put it in a separate place, "Of course, the appearance and temperament are still far from Xiao Lizi."
"I understand, I understand, hehe..."
"..."
The two pointed at the resumes like a concubine, and Linton picked out three more, "Ethan Hawke, Robert Sean Donald, Josh Charles, they are from the Dead Poets Society."
Dead Poets Society's movie five years ago won numerous awards. "Ethan Hawke's temperament is too literary and decadent, but the other two are good." Song Ya put the resumes of Robert Sean Leonard and Josh Charles in the Together with Mark Damon, "Huh?" He stared at the photo of Josie Charles and took another look, thinking about it, he still took it out and eliminated it.
"What's wrong?" Linton was very surprised.
Song Ya shrugged, "He looks a bit like a Chicago lawyer I hate, so forget it."
"Don't be emotional about APLUS." Linton said: "Our choice today can only be a tacit understanding in private, and I will not be eliminated alone for the time being."
"I know."
"Then these are the ones from the hit TV show Seinfeld..." Lynton went on, "these are from Baseball Angels..."
Because the news was leaked by the directors Linton found, the actors who submitted their resumes were almost all based on a certain crew, and they came in groups to dance out that my former box office rival, Baseball Angel, was among them. The actor who played the player of the Los Angeles Angels said, "This is not bad." Song Ya put an actor named Matthew McConaughey into the 'promotion' group, "This temperament is also more artistic, but it's okay, let's put it in for now... "He picked another guy named Adrien Brody.
"Swing Frenzy Crew..."
He selected Christian Bale from the resumes of several handsome men.
Then there is Jake Gyllenhaal, the son recommended by Stephen Gyllenhaal and Naomi Ferna before, whose temperament unexpectedly meets the requirements of Song Ya's mind. Unfortunately, he is too young, and this youthful appearance is obviously impossible to disguise. Adults lie, only sorry for the couple.
Unknowingly, a lot of people were selected. The last group of male actors came from the crew of Love Weaving Dreams, "Jared Leto? I've seen this guy. He was willing to change the character line at the premiere of Interview with the Vampire. ?"
Weaving Dreams in Love was produced by Amblin Entertainment, and the entire crew went to the premiere held by David Geffen to support and expose it. In addition to the heroine Winona Ryder, Jared Leto is the most popular among fans. He became a teenage idol through the TV series "My So-Called Life". Changed his hair and beard, and obviously wanted to get rid of the image of a creamy niche and transform into a melancholy and decadent rock star, so Song Ya asked this question.
"This is the male protagonist of a movie, a movie male protagonist with a production of 20 million yuan. Don't talk about changing the route, it's probably fine for you to let him go to your hotel room alone."
Linton replied, "It's true that he is very popular with girls now, but after all, he is just a male protagonist in a TV series who will be cut in half. He doesn't have many scenes in love and weaving dreams, and he has blonde hair."
"I said I'm not good at this!"
Song Ya was a little angry. Linton, a bird man, reminded him of the deadly Jamal. If he didn't listen to persuasion, he really wanted to imitate Sinaloa and shot him on the spot.
"Okay, I apologize, I'm not joking." Linton raised his hands in surrender.
In addition to Jared Leto, Song Ya also picked Jonathan Schaech and Dermot Mulroney in this crew, both of whom are handsome.
"You should also go to Morgan Freeman to inquire about the situation of the Seven Deadly Sins. His old drama skills can definitely tell the true level of David Fincher's acting skills. Oh, by the way, be careful when you speak, Morgan Freeman Just caught a copy of The Shawshank Redemption, don't provoke him."
Before leaving, Linton asked.
"I'll make an appointment right away."
Song Ya readily agreed, and still planned to ask Harley for help. She and Morgan Freeman had a good relationship. Although the film The Shawshank Redemption was praised by film critics, the production cost was 25 million, and the box office was only 16 million. To grandma's house.
"David directs at a very high level, I think he is much better than Frank Darabont."
Morgan Freeman really resented the director of the Shawshank Redemption movie. He used his unique voice to praise David Fincher, and then asked: "APLUS, why do you have a relationship with the Hollywood film industry?" Together? That company can't sell any good box office."
"Yes, Public Enemy Number One, you're killing me." Harley also had cooperation with this company, and her memories were not very good.
"No way, the right to adapt the novel I want is in their hands. Moreover, the Hollywood film industry has been reorganized, and the current president Linton is much more reliable than his predecessor."
Song Ya didn't want to talk more about this topic, and continued to inquire about the inside story of the Seven Deadly Sins crew, but Morgan Freeman was very vigilant and refused because he had signed a non-disclosure agreement, but he certainly admired David Fincher.
The two sides had never dealt with each other before, so they couldn't exchange words. Morgan Freeman inquired about the cat and mouse game project. After learning that it was an all-white show in the 1960s, he complained a few words. .
"The Hollywood film industry is different from Amblin Entertainment. We don't have the kind of relationship with Universal in Disney's distribution system. We have to find a way to add insurance, boss."
Yeremov, who accompanied him, came out and suggested: "If Ovitz of CAA is really in charge of Disney next year, you, as a star under William Morris... at least have to clear it up with Buwei Pictures, which is in charge of distribution. "
Indeed, Cat and Mouse Game is a "costume" drama in the 1960s. It is impossible to take the opportunity to wear trendy clothing and light-up belts like Dancing Out of My Life. Even mobile phone and other electronic product advertisements cannot be placed, and the original music soundtrack It is pure music that matches the plot, and it is definitely not easy to sell. The two incomes are gone. If you only rely on income from box office and video tapes, it is very important whether the distribution system will not deceive you. Universal was restrained in the Dance Out of My Life project, and didn't give much of the box office to itself...
"Well, do you have any ideas?" Song Ya asked.
"Maybe it's a good idea to bring in a strong external partner," Yeremov said.
"who?"
"How about Johnny Carson? This well-known talk show host in America is very influential and has his own TV station."
"Why do you think of him?"
"It was he who took the initiative to contact you, have you forgotten? He was the first person to see the potential of adapting the cat-and-mouse game novel."
