Hollywood Starts with Animation

The two films "District 9" and "The Devil Wears Prada" were officially announced, and the actors were cast.

As a rising film industry in recent years, Wald Pictures has successively launched a number of popular movies and achieved quite good market results.

One young actor after another became popular;

Launched one director after another who is now quite well-known.

In the words of the famous director James Cameron: "The remuneration of directors, producers and actors offered by Wald Pictures is not high in the entire industry, even below the industry average, but , I have to say, they can make good movies, high-grossing movies. So it has quite a lot of appeal for young actors and directors.”

Being criticized for low pay?

Ha ha!

It's ok!

For those young actors who yearn for fame, Wald Pictures is like a delicious poison that keeps everyone going.

As soon as the news about the casting of the new film came out, Wald Pictures immediately welcomed many people to inquire about the news. Under the intentional promotion of Wald Pictures, the news of the film "District 9" was first pushed out.

Movie name: "District 9".

Director: Christopher Nolan.

Producer: Gavin O'Connor.

Movie production cost: $30 million.

...

Somewhere in Los Angeles.

"Christopher Nolan, I seem to have heard of this person, what's the background?"

A young actor with a simple and honest face, with his arms crossed, is sitting on the sofa in the living room.

He is a popular actor in Hollywood in recent years, his name is Matt Damon.

"Uh, don't you have a certain friendship with Zucker? You don't even know the director Christopher Nolan?" The fat agent Lewis looked at him strangely.

"Ha ha!"

heard,

Matt Damon folded his hands, smiled and said, "Don't look at my cameo in Wald Pictures, but you know, the reason why I cameo in "Spartan 300" is just because I once I apologise for being rude, and in fact, my relationship with Zucker Wald, that's really not the point."

In 1995, Zucker founded Wald Pictures;

In early 1996, when Zucker started filming Wald's first film "Lola Run," he invited Matt Damon to serve as the male lead.

However, Matt Damon, a fledgling and arrogant at the time, declined the invitation and threatened that Zucker's film company would die sooner or later.

The two made a tie.

Later, Zucker gradually rose and made a good film, and Matt Damon immediately regretted it. Since then, he began to contact Zucker actively, apologized, and made a cameo appearance in the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors".

The two let go of their past suspicions!

However, when it comes to friendship, it's really normal.

"Lewis, you guy, why don't you tell me about Christopher Nolan?" Matt Damon urged.

The fat agent Lewis explained: "Christopher Nolan can be regarded as a young director who has emerged in Hollywood in the past two years. He has successively filmed two films "Deadly Bend 2" and "Memento" for Wald Pictures, and won the It did a good job at the box office.”

"Especially recently, he co-directed The Butterfly Effect with director Todd Phillips."

"The Butterfly Effect hit theaters in North America. In less than 20 days, it has achieved box office results of more than 50 million US dollars."

"Well, as far as I know, Christopher Nolan is the confidant of that guy in Zucker Wald."

The voice fell.

Matt Damon showed a smile of sudden realization, and said, "It turned out to be him, so I said I had heard this name."

At the moment, Matt Damon has a calculation in his mind.

If Zucker's confidant love will be the director of the film, then the quality of "District 9" will not be too bad.

"Lewis, help me collect more information about "District 9", maybe this is my chance." Matt Damon was very interested.

"Do not!"

The fat agent shook his head solemnly and said, "Matt, "District 9" is not for you. Do you know? The production cost of this sci-fi movie is only $30 million!"

Matt Damon: "..."

At this moment, Matt Damon froze.

The $30 million sci-fi movie had to make him quit.

It's really cheap to make!

Well, at least for a sci-fi movie, it's too low-investment.

"You tell me, the total production cost of "District 9" is only 30 million US dollars, and most of its investment must be in special effects. Therefore, how much can the actor of the film get paid?" The fat agent sneered.

It's true that pay isn't everything, but actors do take it very seriously sometimes.

Matt Damon's current market salary is roughly $5 million to $7 million.

Could it be that for the sake of the "Ninth District" movie, you will not be able to reduce the salary yourself?

Once the pay is down, it will be very difficult to raise it again, unless "District 9" is a huge success.

......

at the same time.

All over Hollywood, many actors have retreated after learning the news of "The Ninth District".

"A $30 million sci-fi movie?!"

"That's not right! As far as I know, Wald Pictures is not short of money, and Zucker Wald himself has been throwing money all over the place a while ago, throwing billions of dollars, but why?" The production cost of a sci-fi movie like "District" is so low?"

"Could it be that the movie "District 9" is also a soft sci-fi and brain-burning theme like "The Butterfly Effect"?"

For a time, Hollywood actors were talking about it.

Many people can't make up their minds!

Even Joaquin Phoenix, who has always had a long-term cooperation experience with Wald Pictures, is in distress at this moment.

"Joaquin, don't be stupid!"

The agent looked anxiously at his artist and said, "I know that you have a good relationship with Wald Pictures, and you have a close personal relationship with Mr. Wald, but you can't act on your own accord. There is such a thing as a self-reduction in the film's salary. The first time, there will be a second time, a third time, and you will be in endless trouble."

Today's Joaquin Phoenix, the salary is not low.

Since the release of "My Big Greek Wedding", Joaquin has doubled his salary as the film's leading actor, reaching an impressive $6 million.

Later, he participated in two other films of other companies one after another, and the remuneration has risen all the way, reaching the standard of 10 million US dollars.

"Joaquin, you can't bet on "District 9" with your hard work!" The agent emphasized again.

"Okay, I'm not participating in "District 9"."

In the end, Joaquin compromised.

......

Down a few days.

Many people are surprised to find that there are very few big brokerage companies and actors who have signed up for "District 9", especially those young and well-known actors.

They dare not gamble!

Alexander immediately reported the news to Zucker.

Zucker threw the list aside and said indifferently: "Don't worry. They don't like "District 9" as their business, we just need to be ourselves."

There was a word Zucker didn't say.

Sometimes, luck and courage are absolutely crucial in the choice of life path!

Can't see it?

In the future, they will regret their bowels again!

" "The second is sent.
