Chapter 534 Hunting
The restaurant was very quiet. Thomas looked at Lin Hao who was reading carefully, and he himself fell into deep thought:
"Hunting" is undoubtedly a good book.
He has this confidence because this kind of movie adapted from real events has a lot of reliable information, so both the logic of the story and the moldability of the characters are very good.
In addition, the story is still centered on the male protagonist's expressiveness...
It is very attractive to male actors.
Yes, actors.
To be honest, he had many suitable candidates before Lin Hao, and some of them Thomas had contacted before: one of them was Mads Mikkelsen, who was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, and has also become famous in recent years.
You may not remember this name.
But name it: Hannibal.
Are you impressed?
Uncle Mai is a serious Dane, so the filming is definitely more in line with the director's own needs, rather than talking slowly in English here. But the schedule has been bumped up - in April he also has to shoot a Danish movie ""
"Royal Romance".
"The Hunt" wants to invite him...
At least it will be the second half of the year.
But sometimes when it comes to the crew, it doesn’t just mean that the schedule can be moved. Especially crews with small investments are more likely to have this problem:
The original plan was to start shooting in March, but if the camera cannot be turned on by then, a considerable part of the investment will be lost in vain, and the remaining funds will most likely be withdrawn - after all, capital cannot wait for you in vain.
Month, to make money.
It's very troublesome.
So although he wanted to say that it would be okay to wait, everything was ready, and he was idle. He began to try to invite other actors. For example, it would be great if he invited Lin Hao, who happened to be here for promotion.
Got:
The first one, it is said that his current schedule is relatively free.
Secondly, having such a top-tier Hollywood male star joining the team is also a great benefit to me. Box office, exposure, and awards...
...
"Um, hi, Thomas?"
After waving a hand in front of the giggling director a few times, Thomas quickly came to his senses and wiped the corner of his mouth: "Ah, Lin, are you watching?"
"not yet."
Lin Hao shook his head. The script was quite thick. How could it be read in just a few minutes? But he was still interested and said, "But I like this book very much. The characters seem quite charming."
"certainly."
Thomas also continued to promote his script: "Actually, I think this movie will give you a good space to perform, and it will also be a type of movie that the judges love."
And a little bit of inspiration: "Maybe we will all gain something from this movie."
Lin Hao just smiled and nodded: "I will take it back and have a good look at it. Thank you, I have to go back first."
With that said, he was about to get up and leave.
"!!"
Thomas took a look and realized that this was not possible.
There are many things that are completely different from talking in person and talking on the phone or in emails. And in public, even if these celebrities are not very interested in themselves, they will listen to their introductions in a polite manner and say
Maybe my heart will still be moved. If I wait until they go back...
Humph, sorry.
The people who are facing you are no longer these celebrities, but the agents who have gone through many years of hard work. They will be able to peel off a layer of your skin no matter what, so it is better to do it on the spot. The director makes a prompt decision and calls out to the other party:
"Wait a minute! Lin, I want to say that this book will be launched in April next year, and its investment is not high. We will give you 15% of each item..."
Then he saw the other party waving his hand: "As for money, I guess you can't afford much, I know. It doesn't matter, just wait for my follow-up news."
Then after taking two steps, he suddenly turned back:
"Remember to send the electronic version to my agent's official email address, so he has to take a look."
...
It was around 10 o'clock in the evening, and Lin Hao just finished reading the script.
It is indeed the male protagonist who carries the banner.
The male protagonist is a middle-aged man in his forties. After experiencing a painful divorce and unemployment, he finally started over and found a new job and a new girlfriend.
Well, look at this setting:
Divorce in middle age, and divorce...
This kind of thing can simply make a person's mentality collapse. But at this time, he finally got better, his life was gradually on the right track, and he was preparing to regain the father-son relationship with his child Marcus. But on that Christmas Eve, because of a
A little lie from a five-year-old girl...
Everything has changed.
This lie began to spread in the town, spreading virally throughout the town, and plunged the people of the town into panic and hysteria...
This kind of story is absolutely wonderful.
"Isn't it interesting? I dare say that it is too difficult to grasp the scale of such a subject. If you don't perform well, you will make mistakes." In the hotel, Lin Hao took the phone and said excitedly: "Here, have you seen the script?
, there hasn’t been such a subject for a long time.”
Brian on the other side of the phone also agreed: "It's very good. I've already guessed that you like this script very much."
He saw the potential in this book, the potential to hit major awards in the United States. It happened that Lin Hao could use this year to make another award-winning film as a double insurance in 2011, and then take on a box office blockbuster in 2012.
.
So Brian nodded:
"I very much support your decision, but I also need to evaluate it carefully. If there are no other problems, I think I can help you solve other problems here."
He is an agent after all.
Unlike Lin Hao, an actor can read the script and the director, and then basically think it's pretty good.
But the agent must take into account the source of the entire crew's funds, the identities of other actors, and the qualifications of various crew members... In short, Thomas probably still can't escape losing a layer of skin. But in fact, this opportunity will allow him to lose a layer of skin.
Just a layer of skin is already pretty good.
...
This is how it is in Hollywood. Although you don't know if you can get past his agent, Thomas is still very positive about such an opportunity.
When you get the call, take action immediately.
Seeing that he agreed, Brian sent various things to his mailbox and asked him to take a good look at them first:
Various actors' rights and other things...
Lin Hao is actually not famous for anything else in Hollywood, but he has two things: one is that he has never made a loss-making film, and the other is a good-tempered person. But having a good temper does not mean that he can wrong himself: For example, if you invest millions of dollars
For a small crew, let’s not talk about remuneration. We should still give them the treatment they deserve, right?
These will also be communicated.
But it’s a good thing to have this kind of thing, because once people join, it means a huge amount of money will flow in.
Thomas happily continued running.
As for Lin Hao, his physical condition improved a lot after he got up the next day, and there were basically no major problems.
In the afternoon, he made up for the delayed promotional schedule as planned and continued running:
Denmark→Norway→Sweden→Finland...
He traveled to quite a few countries this time, and the quality was not compromised, and he cooperated wherever necessary. This attitude made Emma and Nolan extremely satisfied.
Finally, on July 8th, the London premiere came.
I experienced the scorching heat of Tangier, Morocco, and the heavy snowfall of Calgary, Canada. It also included the layers of Tokyo, the street explosions of Paris, and the dreamy train in Los Angeles...
