Chapter 1073 is the main character
After reading it again, Zhang Guorong stood by the window that had been darkened, and exhaled a deep breath at the scenery outside the window.
It's been a long time since he's had so many emotions over a single script. After putting down the script, those plots were still spinning in his mind.
"Please tell Director Moran, I took this script!" Without any further hesitation or waiting for the next day, he called Chen Shufen with an answer that she was very happy to hear.
"Great! I'll negotiate a good price for you!" she promised with a happy patting of her chest.
Soon, Leila received a reply and knew that Zhang Guorong had taken over the script.
"That's great and I'm looking forward to working together again. I'll send someone over to discuss specific matters. "I'd love to see her in person again, but now is not the right time for her to leave. Thinking that she could meet again in the same crew next year was the only way she could appease her impulse.
On the other hand, Chen Shufen was also very happy, especially when Laila sent someone from the past to send over the contract, she was even more frightened by the above salary.
"10 million US dollars?" This is a number that she couldn't have imagined, originally she was still patting her chest in Zhang Guorong's face and promising to talk about the next good condition, but the result was automatically sent to the door twice as much as she thought, such a result made her really not know what expression to use to express her complicated feelings.
The last time we worked together, it was 2 million US dollars, and when converted into Hong Kong dollars, it was more than 15 million, which is already a pretty good salary for a supporting role. In the East he has a great reputation, but not many people in the West know about it. You must know that Dongfang doesn't know how many actors would rather post so much money upside down, and also hope to play such a role in Leila Moran's movie.
But now, it's fivefold in one fell swoop!
Although he himself is already known to some Western fans for his supporting role in "The Lord of the Rings", it is natural to increase some salaries. But the problem is that it is not a little bit higher, but a full five times!
Except for the word "trench", Chen Shufen no longer knows what words to use to describe it. It didn't take much effort to get better conditions than expected...... If she didn't know that Director Moran had a fiancé who had a very good relationship and had just given birth, she would have to think about whether people had any other thoughts about her family and country.
If Leila knew that she would have made up a lot of brains because she gave too much, she would probably have cried and laughed. If you want to talk about ideas, you really can't say that there are none, but she just thinks about idols.
Ordinary people chase stars, usually chasing dramas performed by idols, singing songs or buying endorsed products, but she is different, her way of chasing stars is to invite idols to make movies, who calls her a film director? If her family is not a media, maybe she can ask him to endorse her own products or something, right?
When hearing about his salary, Zhang Guorong also raised his eyebrows slightly. But that's all, he has come all the way to now, and money doesn't mean much to him anymore. What's more, it still made him feel a kind of value.
$10 million is a good price in Hollywood, and Roy is certainly not on the same level, but don't forget that Roy is much more famous in the United States and around the world. And for the same price, Leila can find an actor in Hollywood who has more box office appeal and fame in the West, but in fact, she doesn't need to go to the East to work with him.
Zhang Guorong has read the script and knows that it is the story of a white and Asian man. In his view, Asians can be written as African-Americans, or as other ethnicities.
No matter why Leila took a fancy to him and chose him to play that role, as a thank you for her trust, he would give back with his best performance.
"I saw that the main character was chosen by her fiancé, Roy, and I guess this is a film that she will take very seriously. Chen Shufen sighed: "Willing to spend $10 million to invite supporting roles to play supporting roles, Hollywood's capital is really terrifying." I don't know what the final investment for the whole movie will be, I guess it will be less!"
She was most impressed by "Pirates of the Caribbean", and at that time even this side was swept by the pirate wind. All the cinemas were packed, and even advance tickets were selling well. She was in the entertainment industry and had always been very concerned about these things, so she knew how obsessed the outside world was with that movie at the time.
She also discussed it with her friends, and some people joked that it was Moran's movie praising her boyfriend. But before the TV release, who knew the pressure on the director and the actors? She had friends in Hollywood, and she knew very well that the entire Hollywood film industry was not optimistic about that movie at that time.
She felt that Moran must have her own idea of choosing that movie, whether the movie was for her boyfriend or not, the final success said it all.
This time it is still Roy as the protagonist, which shows that Moran is also very optimistic about the movie. Being able to play an important role in such a movie will better promote Zhang Guorong's future development!
Zhang Guorong looked at her with an unexpected look after she finished sighing: "Haven't you read the script? It is a script with two male protagonists, so I am not a supporting role, but one of the protagonists." ”
"......" Chen Shufen looked at him and lost the ability to speak.
Main, protagonist?
Yes??
Of course she read the script, but not as carefully as he did. Let her say that she can make the plot clear, but if she wants to say that the protagonist is still a supporting role, she really doesn't have much idea. Or should it be said that she never thought that Leila would choose an Oriental as the protagonist in the first place, so she has always regarded his character as a supporting role.
But now she is told that she is the protagonist?
Is this meant to make big news?
Chen Shufen was about to scream. She can imagine what kind of storm will come when she puts the news out. The last time he "just" played a supporting role with a bit of weight, it had already made fans so excited that they almost killed pigs, slaughtered sheep, and set off firecrackers to celebrate, and people in other circles also congratulated the same.
What happens if you go to Hollywood to make a movie with the lead role?
I also know that there will definitely be a bigger trend. You must know that the cooperation between the East and Hollywood is not unprecedented, but the roles generally obtained are either stereotypical roles, or some tricks that only appear in a few scenes. But even then, it was enough for the media to promote those actors as international superstars.
But now, her family and country are really going to be the protagonist!
It's not a supporting role, it's the protagonist!
Chen Shufen suddenly laughed "haha". Oriental actors can finally appear in Hollywood in a dignified manner!
