Meiyu: I don’t care about the cost when making movies

Chapter 16 Two is too few, please invite a few more!

Opposite, Jessica's agent couldn't help but look livid, and was speechless for a moment.

But asking her to give up on Jessica?

How can this be!Jessica just hugged Wayne, a big tree!

Not to mention anything else, her commissions from "Admission" and the upcoming "Happy Death Day" add up to tens of thousands of dollars.

At this time in 2000, this amount of money was definitely not a small amount for any Hollywood agent.

"Okay, Jessie, I apologize to you. I was just caring about you. After all, this opportunity is too rare."

His arms couldn't hold his thighs. In the face of money, the manager decisively chose to apologize.

Seeing this, Jessica's expression softened.

If possible, she didn't want to really get into a fight with the agent in front of her. After all, this agent was from CAA.

Although it was boycotted by Hollywood giants for a long time because its excessive pursuit of packaging services violated the interests of producers.

But as the number one agency today, CAA still has considerable influence in Hollywood.

After another moment, Wayne made sure that they had finished talking about this topic, and then he came over with a wine glass in hand.

"Hey! Honey! Didn't you go greet the other guests? They are all here for you!"

"I can't help it. How come all of them combined are not as beautiful as you~"

As Wayne spoke, he put his arms around Jessica's slender waist and kissed her on the cheek.

It has to be said that Jessica's performance really exceeded his expectations, and she actually gave up the opportunity to audition for "Dark Angel of Doom" for him.

While this moved him, he also changed his original idea of ​​just treating Jessica as a long-term playmate.

On Jessica's side, after seeing that Wayne did not go to hook up with other girls at the party, but came specifically to find her, she couldn't help but have a happy smile on her face.

On the other side, Sierra and Mike worked overtime and late into the night after returning.

Especially Mike, it was not easy for him to meet a customer with such potential as Wayne. In order to avoid the customer switching jobs or being poached as soon as there was some improvement like before, he put in [-]% work enthusiasm. I read the information all night just to find an actor who could satisfy Wayne.

So at noon the next day, when Wayne was still hugging Mia and Jessica, enjoying the blessing of being together, Sierra called.

"I have contacted the director James Wan you mentioned. His price is not expensive. The director and screenwriter only cost [-] US dollars. And he has no projects on hand right now, so he can come over at any time."

"Ten thousand? That's really cheap!" Wayne couldn't help but shook his head.

However, he also knows that James Wan, who is not famous now and is still a newcomer, really cannot raise the price.

"Then make an appointment at three o'clock in the afternoon. You can bring him directly to my place." Wayne thought for a while and said.

"Okay, I'll contact him right away."

"What about the budget?" Wayne asked.

"There's some trouble with the budget."

Serra explained: "Even if you follow what you said, your screenwriting fee will be 30, the starring salary will be 120 million, the co-producer's salary will be 10, plus Jessica's 75 salary , the production budget was only 450 million."

"Megan Fox stars as the second female villain. If the market price is increased by 50%, the price can only be sold to 5 at most."

"So if you want to raise the budget to more than 800 million, I'm afraid you need to replace her and hire one or two second-tier stars to star like last time."

Wayne had expected this, so he wasn't surprised.In fact, it was precisely because of this worry that he did not directly tell Megan Fox at last night's party that she would play the second female villain in Happy Death Day.

"Two is too few, please ask for a few more."

Wayne continued: "I asked Mike to help me compile a list of third-tier or above female celebrities between the ages of 18 and 27 last night. I'll ask him how he got on with it later. If it's been sorted out, I'll give it a try this afternoon. I’ll ask him to bring him over to discuss it together.”

"Then we'll see you this afternoon."

Then Wayne called Mike again.

Poor Mike had been busy since he returned last night until around ten o'clock in the morning. He had just put together a quotation form for female stars and a gold medal supporting actor information form as per his request. He had just fallen asleep on the table. Less than an hour later I was woken up by his phone call.

However, he was not dissatisfied at all. After drinking a large cup of free cheap coffee in the tea room, he drove to Wayne Manor with a thick stack of more than 100 pages of information.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mike. If I can, I will try my best to use other clients under you." Wayne looked at Mike, who was sweating profusely and had dark circles around his eyes that rivaled those of a certain national treasure, and promised with a smile.

Mike, who was still a little tired, immediately regained his energy after hearing this. After all, wasn't he working so hard just to make more money?
"Thank you Wayne, you are my most important customer, so if you have any requests, just ask me, and I will do my best to do it for you!"

"Then I'll take a look at the information first, and Sierra will come over with the director later."

Having said this, Wayne looked Mike up and down again and found that he was still wearing the suit from last night, so he said: "You haven't eaten yet, right? I asked the maid to prepare some food for you. After you eat, Take a rest, you are my agent, I still have a lot of important work to ask of you, you can't be exhausted."

After speaking, Wayne didn't give Mike a chance to refuse. He waved to the maid next to him and asked the kitchen to prepare food for Mike.

Although this was just a very ordinary move to win people's hearts, for Mike, a middle-aged social worker who was ordinary in the company and had no sense of existence, it moved him greatly.

"Then I'm welcome."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wayne met Sierra and James Wan in the villa's living room.

Wen Ziren, who was still a newcomer, was far from the confident aura he had later. He looked very reserved. Coupled with his dark and thin appearance, he looked almost like those illegal workers from Southeast Asia who had smuggled over.

"Hello, Mr. Anderson."

"Hi, please sit down."

First, they briefly introduced each other, and then Wayne began to dictate the plot of "Happy Death Day".

"The heroine Terry Terry is a college student. Due to the early death of her mother and a bad relationship with her father, she loves drinking, clubbing and showing mercy."

"Early that morning, she was drunk as usual and woke up in the dormitory of a strange boy. This boy's name was Carter. He was somewhat introverted and had always had a crush on Terry."

"While passing by a party last night, Carter found Terri who was drunk on the roadside and was about to be picked up."

"Carter immediately rushed forward, stopped the man and pretended to be Terri's boyfriend and took her back to the dormitory."

"And to prevent Terri from vomiting to death in the middle of the night, Carter took care of her all night."

"."

"At ten o'clock in the evening, Terry, who finally packed her clothes, left the dormitory alone and rushed to attend the surprise birthday party prepared by her friends."

"As a result, when I was passing by an empty bridge, I suddenly found a music box with Happy Birthday written on it in the middle of the bridge."

"In the empty bridge, the sound of the music box sounds very strange."

"Teri instinctively felt that something was wrong, but from a rational analysis, she felt that this should be a surprise prepared by one of her friends."

"As a result, just when she was walking towards the music box and about to pick it up, a long shadow suddenly appeared on the ground, and behind her, a man in black with a baby mask appeared."
