Chapter 701: I Am a Fool, an Old Cow Eats Young Grass?

One thing is strange. Pixar animation seems to have never been very successful at the box office in China. Even after the market developed later, only "Coco" achieved a record of over 1 billion.

Others, like "Inside Out" and "Up" didn't even break 100 million at the box office!

If you say "Up" was released in 2009 and the market hadn't picked up yet, then "Inside Out" was released in 2015.

Maybe it’s just acclimatization!

In the original time and space, "Wall-E" was not released in the mainland...

The reason is that China Film Group is not optimistic about this movie - the movie has very few lines and relies entirely on the pitiful expressions and movements of the robot WALL-E to advance the plot. They are worried that the style of the movie may not suit the taste of Chinese audiences. They feel that mainland audiences still like "Kung Fu Panda" "For a film with such a strong plot, "WALL-E" is still too literary and niche.

However, Shen Xudong thinks that there is no problem with "Wall-E" less than 20 million box office!

So, I simply introduced him to Chen Xi...

As for how she communicated, Shen Xudong didn't care very much. He had participated in various activities these days and met a lot of Hollywood powerful people...

Nothing to feel.

My only feeling is that the hair on these people is so thick, no wonder women have to learn to shave their legs!

By the way, the amount of water produced is really large. I mean when shaking hands, you can feel the sweat of the other party. No wonder James has to apply magnesium powder every time he plays. You think he is showing off, but in fact, he It's dehumidifying!

…

"The sequel will definitely be made. You can negotiate the remuneration and act in accordance with the contract!"

"It's a bit difficult..."

"It's a bit difficult but you have to follow the contract. Since it's a long-term contract, the maximum salary limit is US$10 million!"

Shen Xudong is discussing the production of the sequel to "The Twilight Saga" with Joseph Drake.

The first part was so popular that a sequel must be made.

Shen Xudong asked the leading actor to sign a long-term contract from the beginning...

There is a maximum salary limit!

Only if the global sales exceed 800 million US dollars, they can get the maximum salary of 10 million US dollars!

In addition, the contract also stipulates that the actors must cooperate with global promotions and peripheral press conferences, and the actors must stay in shape and healthy...

Also, during the release of the series, no outrageous things are allowed, including filming other movies that damage the image of the characters...

In the original time and space, Kristen participated in "On the Road" in the middle of the "Twilight" series. It was a movie about the American beat generation. The scale was very large and the actors were messy!

This incident made many "Twilight" fans and moviegoers dissatisfied.

There is no way Shen Xudong would allow this to happen!

Even if it is filmed, it will be released after the "Twilight" series ends.

By the way, we also cooperate with the publicity department’s hype!

In the original time and space, "Twilight" became popular all over the world, and a large part of the reason was the speculation on the CP - Christine and Robert, the love affair between the male and female protagonists.

In addition to the movie itself, the biggest talking point of "Twilight" is the emotional experience between the male and female protagonists Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson!

The typical Hollywood promotion method is to pair male and female protagonists together to promote CP and build momentum for the movie. In the end, it is all about money...

This time, "Twilight" continued this routine. After arriving in the United States, Shen Xudong even refused Christine's artistic exchange invitation because it was the promotion period.

I’m just afraid that if word spreads, it will be detrimental to the movie!

Oh, Shen Xudong is now considered a newly famous figure in Hollywood, and a bunch of paparazzi secretly photographed him...

Bringing it back, Joseph continued: "One more thing, Ron Howard, do you know him?"

"I know...I'm not familiar with it. What's wrong?"

Ron Howard, a major Hollywood director, owns the Imagination Entertainment Production Company. His representative works are "Apollo 13" and "A Beautiful Mind". He has won an Oscar and is a mainstream filmmaker. He has a very good relationship with Spielberg...

In addition, Clint Eastwood is his brother-in-law...

Therefore, when Joseph mentioned Ron Howard, Shen Xudong was quite surprised. Could it be that he wanted to direct "The Twilight Saga"?

how can that be possible!

"His daughter wants to play a major role in a movie!"

"His daughter? Who?"

"Bryce Dallas Howard...here's a picture of her!"

As he spoke, Joseph handed the information to Shen Xudong, who looked through it...it looked familiar...

Suddenly I remembered, isn't this the heroine in "Jurassic World" wearing high heels to outrun the Tyrannosaurus Rex!

"She doesn't have any scenes?"

"That's not really...but she's interested in Twilight!"

"Crazy... Several protagonists have been decided. Who can she replace? And judging from her age, she is in her thirties... She does not meet the positioning of our youth idol..."

Joseph shook his head: "She is only 27 this year..."

"you sure?"

Gosh, white people age really fast.

"What I mean is that we can let her play the negative role..."

"Number One? Victoria? Rachel LeFevre?"

Rachel LeFevre was chosen by the Twilight Saga casting director…

Her beauty and acting skills are perfect for this role.

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I think it's best not to change the actors casually in the series, and it's still the opposite..."

"Then...I refuse her request?"

"Refuse...is there anything else? If nothing happens, I will have to return to China the day after tomorrow!"

Shen Xudong picked up the coffee and took a sip: "This coffee is quite delicious..."

"...Of course, this is St. Helena coffee..." Joseph casually mentioned a coffee name that Shen Xudong had never heard of, and then said: "Do you know Sandra Bullock?"

"...You know, the heroine of "Speed"... seems to have become outdated in recent years?"

"She fell in love with our company's "Fake Marriage" project and wanted to work on it together... specifically asked me to ask you to have dinner with me tonight!"

"Just eating?"

"She...is a stamp collecting girl!"

Philately…

Thinking of Sandra Bullock's old face, Shen Xudong shook his head decisively: "If she wants to star, we can negotiate, and the salary can be as high as 8 million US dollars, just eat."

Old cows eating young grass?

Preaching and giving fluids also depends on the situation...

Shen Xudong is not picky at all.

Not to mention Sandra Bullock, even Julia Roberts would refuse.

After all, the age gap is too big!

He's not a pervert.

To be honest, white women generally age rapidly after the age of 40, as if they were on an accelerator...

Even ball star Monica Bellucci is no exception.

Monica Bellucci was still able to star in "Beautiful Legend of Sicily" at the age of 36, but her appearance in "Irrevocable" the following year dropped by 50%...

Therefore, Leonardo’s girlfriend cannot be over 25 years old!

Many female celebrities cannot face the loss of their looks, so they inject various things. The most typical one is Nicole Kidman, who wears a zombie face every day...

Joseph took stock of the projects in his hand: "'Fake Marriage', 'Bad Teacher' and a film called 'Hot Girl' are all suitable for actresses around 40 years old... Do you want to try to find Angelina Jolie?" "

Shen Xudong was speechless: "...you really dare to think!"
