Chapter 441 Audition?
One day later, the premiere box office was released, 300 million!
This figure is already very good, because "Deadly Cradle" is not produced by any big company, nor is it a big IP. It can be said that Qi Lin is the biggest star in the movie. It is not bad to have such a result.
At least the producer is very satisfied with the box office of the premiere, and they believe that the follow-up box office of this movie should also be good.
Hollywood.
"Sir, your casting plan was not approved."
"Not passed? Which character not passed?"
"Actor!"
"You mean that group of idiots think Pete is not good? At this time, at this point, can they find a better actor than Pete?"
"The producer said that there were three reasons why Pitt was not chosen."
The producer answered neither humble nor overbearing, but Director Doug was amused.
"Three reasons? Tell me in detail."
"The first point is that Pete's reputation is not good now. You should have seen the recent news about his cheating, and there are also news that he smokes D and even has a tendency to domestic violence. If you choose this kind of negative news It's too risky for someone to play the male lead."
"You also said that these are all doubts. We can't give up such an excellent actor just because of doubts?"
The producer was still calm after hearing this, and said in a calm voice.
"The second reason is that his salary is 30 million dollars!"
“I think Pete is worth the price, and I also believe that as long as he is given a chance, he will bring us more substantial benefits!”
The producer still didn't make any excuses after hearing this, but started to talk about the third point lightly.
"The last one, he filmed a movie that maliciously distorted China many years ago, and he was banned from entering the country."
As soon as these words came out, Director Doug fell silent.
If this article was placed more than ten years ago, he wouldn't care at all, but now, no one in the film industry dares to say that he doesn't care about the Chinese market, especially people like them who plan to shoot big investment movies.
China's film market is too scary, and the purchasing power of Chinese people is too scary!
Now the world has a population of nearly 7.6 billion, and China is close to 1.5 billion!
That is to say, China alone has nearly one-fifth of the world's population!
With such a large population base, who dares to say that they don't care about this market?
What's even more frightening is that China's economy has started to take off in recent years!
Twenty years have almost equaled others for a hundred years!
After having money and guaranteeing material life, one begins to develop towards spiritual life again.
So various variety shows, movies, concerts, etc. were punished endlessly, which were not seen in the early years.
There are even some movies that have a mediocre box office in their country, but after they were released in China, the box office reputation exploded!
However, not everyone in China can make money. With the rise of the Chinese film market in recent years, the control of many foreign films has become more and more strict, but this still does not hinder the enthusiasm of these foreign film dealers!
Some capitalists even began to wantonly add Chinese characters to their movies, or simply find Chinese actors to play them!
And it turns out, they were right!
The box office of those movies with Chinese actors is indeed much higher!
And if this person is banned from entering China, then there are indeed some problems.
But Director Doug is still a little bit unwilling to give up: "As far as I know, Pete's reputation in China is not bad. Many Chinese audiences think he is a powerful actor."
The producer nodded and said: "But we still can't take any risks, and after this kind of thing is exposed, no one can imagine the consequences."
Director Doug held his head and sighed: "Then who are our options now? Or do we have to delay our shooting plan?"
The producer smiled and said softly.
"Investors have taken a fancy to a Chinese artist."
"Enough! I have high expectations for this movie, and you have said before that I have the right to choose actors! Now you can't just pick a Chinese person to be my leading actor just because of the Chinese market. ?”
The producer was not angry after hearing this, and was as calm as ever.
"According to Huaxia, he should be called Qi Lin, and he is a very good young actor!"
Director Doug was taken aback when he heard it. He seemed to have heard the name somewhere before, then suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise.
"You mean Qi Lin from "John Wick"?"
The producer nodded and said, "Yes, that's him. The investors think Qi Lin's image is also very suitable for your new movie."
Director Doug was a little confused after hearing this, but he said after thinking about it.
"I can give him a chance to audition, but if it doesn't meet my psychological expectations, I won't use him as the male lead."
"Of course, I know Qi Lin's person in charge in Hollywood, I'll go get in touch now."
The producer readily agreed. After all, this is just an idea of the investor, and it doesn't have to be like this.
"Brother, someone found me through Morgan and wanted to ask you to audition."
Qi Lin was rolling the iron, and heard that he adjusted his airway.
"Morgan? A drama in Lijian Kingdom?"
Wang Xiaohua nodded with a smile, her face full of complacency.
"It's a big director this time!"
"Big director? Who is it?"
"Director Doug!"
Qi Lin was a little confused when he heard this name. He only knew a part of foreign directors and actors.
"Have you seen Bourne?"
"Hiss!"
Qi Lin gasped, put the dumbbell aside, and wiped his sweaty channels.
"Doug, the director of "The Bourne Shadow"? He, he wants to find me to make a film? "The Bourne Shadow" sequel, looking for me to play a supporting role?"
"That's right, this is a new attempt by Director Doug, but the genre is similar, and they are all related to agents."
Qi Lin swallowed. Speaking of which, this is the first time he has come into contact with such a foreign director.
Although the previous directors Chad and Andre were good, there is still a certain gap between them and the current one.
Qi Lin swallowed and said, "Audition? What style? Send an audition video?"
Not all auditions require actors to go to the scene in person, and not all directors will spend a day to watch other people audition.
Many times, the director gives a line, and then let the auditioner play the performance video, and then send the video to the director. As for whether the director can see it, it depends on whether your name is famous enough and the backstage is hard enough.
Wang Xiaohua heard the words but said seriously: "Brother, I think it's better for us to go and see for ourselves this time."
"Did the other end say what the name of this movie is?"
"said."
"what?"
"Mr. & Mrs. Smith!"
