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

Chapter 75 Naomi’s ambition!

"Okay, let's get down to business!"

"What? Has the director already been decided? Wait, I'll take a notepad and write it down, otherwise I'm afraid I'll forget it when I get busy."

"Okay, you name it, Christopher Nolan will be the director and screenwriter, and Quentin Tarantino will be the first assistant director."

"Christopher Nolan signs five to seven movies, which can increase his salary, but he must try to keep the box office share as low as possible. Quentin Tarantino signs three movies."

"The action director invited Woo Ping Yuen, the action director of The Matrix, to sign five to seven movies like Nolan."

That's right, in addition to Nolan and Quentin, Wayne also specially formulated Yuan Baye as action director for Resident Evil.

Unlike the realistic style of "The Bourne Supremacy", the fighting scenes in the "Resident Evil" series are definitely as cool as they come.

And Yuan Baye, who became famous in Hollywood as the action director of "The Matrix" and will also serve as action director in blockbuster movies such as "Kill Bill", "Kung Fu", and "Fearless", is undoubtedly the one. Wayne's best choice not only provides a high salary, but also designs actions that are in line with the aesthetics of Wayne and the vast majority of audiences around the world.

This undoubtedly adds another layer of guarantee for the box office success of "Resident Evil".

Therefore, Wayne also plans to ask Yuan Baye to sign five to seven film contracts in one go to prevent Yuan Baye from becoming too popular and running out of schedules.

"Okay, I've written it all down. Is there anything else you want to explain?"

"No more? Okay! Then I'll deal with these things now!"

After hanging up the phone, Susan put away her notepad, first explained a few words to the executive producer, then said hello to the director, and then walked quickly outside the set.

Although "Girl Genius" is her 'first time', "Resident Evil", a commercial series that is expected to produce at least five movies, is obviously much more important to her.

After all, art films only achieve directors and actors. Only commercial blockbusters can reflect the ability and value of a producer.

"Huh? Susan, do you want to go out?"

Naomi Watts, who had just finished styling and walked towards her, saw Susan looking in a hurry and couldn't help but asked curiously.

As a movie heroine, with good acting skills, and with the triple identity of Wayne's lover, her relationship with Susan is pretty good. Among all the actors, except for Sarandon and Dakota Fanning, she is the only one who can The one who made Susan smile.

Apart from the three of them, even when facing Anne and Meghan, Susan still acted like a business-like producer.

"Naomi, are you here?"

It wasn't something that needed to be concealed, so Susan didn't hide it and explained with a smile: "The director of the "Resident Evil" project has been decided. I'm going to talk about signing the contract now."

Naomi suddenly realized that she also knew about the "Resident Evil" project, and she also knew that this project was "tailor-made" by Wayne for Charlize Theron, which made her always envious, every time I also became more attentive when communicating with Wayne in depth.

However, she knew the rules and did not continue to ask Wayne who the director he had chosen was.

Susan, on the other hand, paused and looked her up and down for a moment, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

Unlike Wayne, she didn't have the original version as a reference, and the official script hadn't been released yet, so she only knew that there was a second female mercenary role in "Resident Evil 1", and her role was not that small.

Thinking that Naomi had just finished filming David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" and now she was filming "Girlfriend", she suddenly felt that Naomi's reputation would be greatly improved in the future.

so.
"Should we sign her in advance?" I have to say that Susan is indeed a qualified and professional producer.

However, it would still take quite a while before the filming of "Girl Genius" was finished, so she was not in a hurry and continued walking outside the set after speaking.

Naomi, on the other hand, was watching her actions, and she was feeling a little bit expectant. Even the filming status after the connection improved a lot. Almost all the scenes were in one pass, which made director Gus couldn't help it. Praise her a few words.

"Oh my god, Naomi, what's going on? Why do I feel that your acting skills have improved a lot compared to yesterday when I looked in the mirror?" Annie couldn't help but be curious, and took advantage of the time to change the scenery, and came over to ask. road.

"It's nothing, I'm just in good condition," Naomi explained with a smile, and then quickly changed the subject.

"It looks like we should finish work early today. How about we go have something to eat together after work?" Naomi asked.

"This." Annie hesitated for a moment.

She was still a little confused about the fact that Naomi had 'stealed' her leading role.

Naomi seemed to see something and lowered her voice and whispered: "You know, Wayne has many women. We can't compare to Jessica in terms of love, and we can't compare to Charlize Theron in terms of body and appearance. If we want to retain Wayne as much as possible, we need to cooperate a lot."

This time Annie only thought for a few seconds before agreeing, obviously convinced by Naomi.

What does it mean to lose a heroine? As long as you can keep Wayne, are you afraid that you won't have a chance in the future?
Now she finally understands.

"Okay then, come to my place after work is over. By the way, I think we can buy some videos and take them back to study. I don't believe that the two of us combined can't beat Jessica and Charlize!" Anne was full of fighting spirit! said.

In response, Naomi just smiled and said nothing.

She is much more sober than Anne. If nothing else, her age alone makes it impossible for her to surpass Charlize Theron and Jessica's position in Wayne's heart.

So she just wants to keep her current position and try her best to take on more roles and make more money while her beauty is still there.

If there really is a chance to star in "Resident Evil", let alone the second female lead, she would be very happy to be the third female lead, but she won't be like Annie who always thinks the role is too small.

Then the two of them discussed where to buy the video tape. To be honest, it was the first time for both of them to do this. They had no experience at all, and it was a bit exciting to think about it.

At the same time, in a luxurious suite at the Beverly Hilton Hotel dozens of kilometers away, several big names that Wayne could only look up to in his previous life were gathering together, smoking, and preparing for the film's release in North America. Worry about something.

"Master Ba, is there really nothing we can do?"

"There's really nothing I can do about it. I'm just a martial arts instructor and can't say anything about Sony's decision."

"But there are only 16 theaters at the opening? That's too few! I heard that the most popular horror movie called "Happy Death Day" has 500 theaters just for screenings!"

"Then what can you do? There are 500 theaters showing it. I can only say that the distribution company is optimistic about that film. This kind of thing is decided by the distribution company, and the production side generally has nothing to do. Besides, haven't you already put the film in North America? Have the rights to Bian been sold to Sony?”

"That's what I say, but...don't I also want our movie to have a better box office!"

The man called Master Ba didn't talk to him this time, he just smoked cigarettes one after another.
