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

Chapter 35 Do you want to go hiking by yourself?
"What's wrong, Sally? What are you looking at?" Toby noticed Theron's reaction and asked curiously.

Today, he has not yet become popular because of his role as Spider-Man. He is still just an ordinary second-tier Hollywood actor, almost on the same level as Theron.

In addition, the two had previously starred together in the feature film "There's Always a Sun", so he still had some ideas about Theron, a South African beauty.

On the other side, Matt Damon, who doesn't talk much and looks a bit cool, is similar, but he is obviously a step slower than Tobey Maguire.

"Nothing, I just saw an interesting friend."

Charlize Theron looked back, first explained with a smile, then paused and said apologetically: "I suddenly have something to do, so I'll excuse you for a moment."

In response, Tobey Maguire and Matt Damon could only smile like gentlemen with a hint of regret.

Watching Charlize Theron holding a wine glass, twisting her charming slender waist and perky T-shirt, she walked towards the agent in the corner.

"Fortunately, she's not looking for another man." Matt Damon suddenly said.

Opposite me, Tobey Maguire was obviously stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect Matt Damon to be such a person, but then he reacted, showed a congenial smile, and whispered: "Did you say that?" wrong."

Then the two raised their glasses and went off to find new goals.

However, what they don't know is that they have always been obsessed with a beautiful South African diamond, and they used to go to the agent just to get their mobile phones back.

Then, she called a certain man.

"Hey honey, are you busy?"

"No, let's watch TV series with my girlfriend again." Wayne said carelessly as he glanced at Jessica and Mia, who were leaning on him.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. At most, he just had more girlfriends.

"."

Charlize Theron on the opposite side couldn't help but take a breath, her eyelids twitched slightly, and then she kept her relaxed voice and asked with a smile: "Which girlfriend is it? Is it the Anne Hathaway that you recently acquired? ?”

Wayne on the other end of the phone couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and was about to say no.

But then he realized something was wrong. Charlize Theron suddenly called him late at night and specifically asked about Anne. This was obviously a problem.

"What do you want to say?" Wayne asked calmly.

"It's nothing," the smile on Charlize Theron's face became more charming and she said happily: "I just met your new girlfriend at Whitney's party tonight. I heard my agent say , she will attend in two days

The female lead in director Garry Marshall's new film is auditioning, presumably to meet the director and producer in advance. "

Wayne was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

He knew that Annie was going to attend a party tonight, so moving to a new house had been postponed.

But according to Annie, she went to a friend's birthday party, not Whitney's party.

The most important thing is, why deceive him?

A bad memory suddenly emerged from the depths of his mind, causing him to frown involuntarily.

But soon he suppressed this memory again, his tone remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Okay, thank you for reminding me, I will 'thank' you properly next time."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

But women are indeed quite intuitive in some areas.

As if they were aware of his abnormality, Mia and Jessica looked away from the TV in front of them and turned to look at him, as if they had a telepathic connection.

"What's the matter, dear?"

"Did something happen?"

"No," Wayne kissed them both on the cheeks, and then explained with a smile: "A friend from before was going to audition for a leading role in a big production, and he probably missed me. ’s next movie.”

Mia and Jessica are both smart people, and they immediately understood the true meaning hidden in his words.

"That friend of yours must be very stupid."

"I guess she will regret it in the future."

The two of them talked to each other one by one, and they said it without politeness.

And this is also what they really think.

Take Jessica. So what if she turned down James Cameron’s audition for the lead role in a TV series?Then she starred in a movie with a production cost of more than 1000 million yuan.And there are Liv Tyler, Charlize Theron, Anthony Hopkins, Willem Dafoe and so many other big-name stars to accompany her.

These are absolutely not something you can enjoy even in James Cameron's TV series.

Moreover, Cameron only has one TV series, and it is still unknown whether she will continue to be used in the next movies and TV series.

In fact, after "Dark Angel" in the parallel world, she did not cooperate with Cameron again.

And the "Sin City" and "Fantastic Four" that really made her popular around the world were not Cameron's works.

But as long as she continues to stay with Wayne, she will have a steady stream of resources.

In the long run, it's obviously more cost-effective to stay with Wayne.

In fact, let alone them.

Even Charlize Theron thinks so. She also feels that Anne's approach is too short-sighted and too stupid.

Wayne seems to be still very weak, but he is in a period of rapid growth.

Most importantly, Wayne is capital!And it owns a production company that, although not very large, is extremely mature.

And Marshall and Whitney are just directors and producers!

As a great director who has made many classic love movies, Marshall seems to have unlimited fame, but in fact, if he is asked to spend 1000 million US dollars to invest in a movie, he will never be able to come up with it.

After "Pretty Woman", his salary for directing a movie was only about 300 million. It was not until "Runaway Bride" released last year that he was successful again, and this rose to 400 million.

It seems like a lot, but if you include the brokerage company's commission, taxes and his daily expenses, he can't even come up with half of it, let alone 1000 million.

Whitney is rich, but it is difficult for her to invest 1000 million in a movie because she has to consider the risks involved.

Just like this time, Marshall directs and Disney distributes it. No matter how you look at it, the probability of the film's success is very high, right?
But in fact, she only invested 400 million, and as a producer, her share of the box office share was only 15%.

This is also the risk diversification model commonly used in Hollywood.

Under this production model, the determination of the main actors of the film is the result of mutual negotiation and compromise among many forces such as directors, producers, investors, and brokerage companies.

So even though Annie managed to win over everyone including the director, producer, and investors in this movie, she successfully starred as the heroine.

If she wants to star in Marshall or Whitney's next movie, she still needs to do it again.

But if you can follow Wayne, then you only need to deal with Wayne alone.

On one side are a group of old men who are not even sure about their height, height, fatness, and thickness. They can only be sure that they are quite old. On the other side is Wayne, who is more handsome than DiCaprio and has super perverted abilities in that area. Unless he has some special hobbies, he would be a fool. Don't choose Wayne.

But Annie just gave up on Wayne just for the sake of this immediate benefit.

This is like going up a mountain. There is a winding mountain road at your feet, although it is under construction, but it is very flat and smooth, and the construction speed is not slow. You can just walk up, but you have to choose to climb it yourself. Like a steep cliff.

You know, if Hollywood is compared to a mountain of fame and fortune, it is much more steep and steep than Mount Huashan.

How many people around the world want to reach the top, and how many succeed?
On the contrary, Wayne, perhaps because of his past life memories, understands Annie's approach better than Jessica and Charlize Theron.

After all, Hollywood is all about heroes succeeding and losing.

Although the path Anne chose was difficult, she succeeded in the end.

With the movie "Princess Diaries", she did become popular in North America and even the world at an extremely fast speed, and she became popular for more than ten years. It was not until 16 years later that many movies failed at the box office, and she lost her former popularity. The scenery was abandoned by big capital.

For those ordinary actors, being famous for more than ten years is already a huge blessing.

So in Wayne's view, Anne just followed her original path.

Of course, understanding is understanding, and his mentality towards Anne will definitely change.

In the past, he planned to treat Anne as his girlfriend, but now, to him, Anne is just a collaborator who trades her body for resources.

That's right, he didn't intend to part ways with Anne just like that.

Just kidding, he could give some resources to anyone in exchange for Anne's favor in every possible way. He would make a lot of money, right?

So after hanging up the phone, he completely forgot about the matter and concentrated on watching the TV series with Mia and Jessica.

Even when Charlize Theron texted him later that when Annie left the party in a car with a Disney executive, he just glanced at it lightly and didn't take it to heart at all.
