Best Actor

    Vladimir did not spend money indiscriminately, and Sean has reviewed the ledger. Although he does not understand very well, he can still understand it in general, not to mention that he has his own accountant. Ask Neil.

    It took a lot of money just to acquire a few small companies and those film libraries, as well as to contact distribution channels, not to mention the investment of a few movies - those two movies, the remastered version "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and the American version of "The Grudge" are all funded by Samsara Pictures. Generally speaking, in order to reduce the risk of film production now, several companies are made together, and several investors pay together to avoid accidental bankruptcy.

     "Heaven's Gate" ended United Arts, and "Titanic" almost forced Fox to go bankrupt, are the best two examples. So now the big studios are starting to slowly change their operations, and most of the films that minimize direct investment are to set up a leather bag company, then contact some small companies for production, and just concentrate on distribution.

    But Samsara Pictures can't do this, no matter the channel or content, let alone the big studios, let alone the New Line and Miramax, the current goal of catching up Lions Gate is still far away. If they cooperate with other small companies, then the profit must be divided a lot, which is already a step behind others, and the development will be even slower.

    Not all movies are like this, in addition to the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "The Grudge" mentioned above, Vladimir also invested in several movies, which are cooperating with companies. In other words, the wholly-funded films are all the movies that Sean is more optimistic about, and what kind of results the movies he is optimistic about will have, "My Big Greek Wedding" has already explained.

    Of course, Vladimir also persuaded to invest in two movies at a time, although both are only about 10 million, but the risk is still a little big. But Sean insisted on his own opinion, and he made concessions. Except for the funds used for tax avoidance from Germany, the two films were all produced by Samsara Films. There is no way. If you want to develop rapidly, you must grab as much profit as possible, so Sean will not let go of any film that he can recall with a small cost and a high box office, and the butterfly effect is one of them.

    Fortunately, although the money is a lot, the film company still has some income now. The DVD of "My Grand Greek Wedding" is selling quite well. Second- and third-rate works, as long as DVDs and videotapes are released, can bring in some money. Of course, it can't be compared with "My Grand Greek Wedding". The latter is released by Samsara Pictures through its own channels, and released on its own initiative. At least 90% of each DVD can be owned by yourself, and only others can release it. 20% off.

    Now that the preparations are almost ready, the "America's Next Model", which will be released around the fall, will be released in cooperation with Victoria's Secret and CBS's UPN channel, and will be released on the Halloween schedule. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. If this show and this movie can be successful, the company can then raise further financing. The more profits it makes, the more attention it attracts, and the higher the amount of financing. Vladimir's psychological expectation is that 100000000.

    To be honest, this is a very high number. The target of Reincarnation Pictures, Lionsgate, which was established in 1997, only received such high financing last year. It's not that Vladimir is arrogant. With the miracle created by Sean ahead, if it can be maintained, it is not difficult to obtain such high financing.

    Knock on his head, Sean took his thoughts back, no matter what expectations he has for the future, it will take time, or the things in front of him should be done well. His eyes fell on the book in his hand again. He had read this book more than a dozen times, but he had to read it again and again. It was not that every time he read it, he had a new experience. It was just that there were no entertainment facilities in Eastern European towns. , and many of the plots in the book will be encountered in the subsequent shooting.

    Yes, this is the original novel of "Cold Mountain", and he can recite some words and phrases.

    The reason why he read it repeatedly was not entirely because of filming. First, there were no other novels to read, and the Internet in Eastern Europe was slow. Second, a few days ago He just figured out one thing, about the poem on the title page of the original novel, "People inquired about the road to Cold Mountain, but found nothing".

    This is not to say the specific meaning of this poem, but to say... In short, because Mingla told him that this sentence was a verse from a monk in the Tang Dynasty in China. There is no doubt that this aroused the interest of Sean, Tang Shi's fame has spread so widely?

    Although he knows that this is because Mingella likes China and has a wife in Hong Kong, the original author of this poem is Charles Fraser, so it is necessary to know that the original sentence is Well, let's see which poet's masterpiece is. Unexpectedly, although Baidu already has this thing, there is not enough content on the Internet, and the keywords are not very clear. Minggla was also vague at the time, and there was no hint except for a monk.

    So, it took Sean a lot of time, and when he was about to come to Europe, he learned that this poem is from the mouth of Hanshan, a monk in the Tang Dynasty.

    Well, it's really inexplicable, does it have anything to do with the novel? Have! Because this poem is based on the Five Laws, there are three more lines besides this one, and the last sentence "If your heart is like me, you will get it", literally, it fits the feelings of the male and female protagonists very well - if the original author Fraser There is no misunderstanding.

    "It's really interesting..." Rubbing the words and phrases on the title page, Sean suddenly laughed, and then sighed with emotion, what I want to say, this movie fits me quite well, except myself , who can understand the source of these two poems? Don't worry about the prospects, it's better to think about how to show off with this, preferably in front of the heroine.

    This opportunity came quickly. When Sean returned to the set after a break, he found that Nicole Kidman and Rachel Weisz had also come to Romania.

    "You don't have much solo plot, and Nicole and Rachel have a lot of plots together, so they are here." Mingla explained.

    Well, come on, it's not a big deal. Sean shrugged and greeted them.

    "Meet again, Sean." Nicole looked at Sean with a smile.

    "Yeah, frankly speaking, I never thought I would play with you a few months ago." Sean nodded politely, looking very serious.

     Frankly speaking, Nicole is very beautiful, especially now that she is wearing a costume, with a little classical temperament, and Rachel, who should be comparable to her in this respect - she is in The bookishness in "Tomb Raiders" is still very eye-catching-because the character is a rough country girl, so she painted ugly clothes. Although she looks pretty, she certainly can't compare with Nicole.

    In addition, Nicole is just at the golden age of a woman, her mature breath makes her look very sexy, and it is still very lethal to Sean.

    There is no man who will not have an obsession with a beautiful woman in his heart. Of course, a better way to say it is called appreciation, so Sean is no exception. But thinking and doing are two different things. Every time I evoke some careful thoughts, Naomi's appearance will automatically emerge in my mind.

    I don't know what Nicole said to Naomi. Before, she was quite resentful in her words, but now she is as good as her sisters again. Sisterhood is really like this firm? But then again, Naomi said at the beginning that she was able to get the heroine of the American version of "Midnight Bell" because of Nicole's recommendation, so she said before, Nicole recommended her before, but The other party agreed but did not act, and the credibility should be higher.

    But from another point of view, it is difficult to say that Verbinski chose Naomi as the heroine of the American version of "Midnight Bell", not necessarily because she was in "Mulholland Drive" The wonderful performance of Nicole, Nicole's recommendation is just smooth sailing.

 , the two have indeed recovered to become the best best friends. In this case, even if Sean has any ideas, it is not easy to act, even if Naomi has acquiesced to some of his actions, it is still difficult to say in this regard.

    What's more, there is a person around you who is tirelessly reminding: "Sean, I personally suggest you, it's better not to be the same as before."

    Facing Sanders with a serious face, Sean didn't say much, because the other party knew his current love history. It's just that even if he doesn't do something, he will take the initiative to come to the door.

    "What's the relationship between you and Nami, Sean?" After Sean hung up the phone and sighed at the phone, a sudden voice came, which startled him.

    "You seem to have a guilty conscience?" Nicole raised her arms, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, half a smile.

    "How come," Sean waved his hand and looked around, "If you appear here so prominently, anyone will be shocked, right?"

    "Really?" Nicole answered noncommittally, pinching her chin, "So, can you answer my question?"

    "Um...Is there anything wrong with Naomi...?" Sean asked pretending to be deaf.

    Nicole did not speak, stared at him for a long time before saying: "Although Nao always tries to avoid talking about you, every time I lead the topic a little, she will Talk about a lot of your things, and then cover it up to say that you are just friends."

    "Um...is there something wrong with that?" Sean continued to act deaf.

    "You're really dishonest, Sean." Nicole squinted her eyes and chuckled, her gray-blue eyes flashing with inexplicable light.

    Sean simply put on a look that you want to say, anyway, it was such an expression, and it looked a little righteous and awe-inspiring, which made Nicole raise her eyebrows in surprise.

    "Okay, then..." The girl in front of her coughed lightly, her eyes sharpened, "What's your relationship with Jennifer Aniston?"
