Meiman: Filming can make you stronger

Chapter 52

On Monday, Andy and Slade first went to HBO headquarters to submit the remaining two episodes of "Vampire Life" and the first four episodes of "Apollo". $180 million advance payment.

Now there are more than 1600 million special accounts for the "Apollo" crew, and more than 2500 million for the Temple of the Gods audio-visual company. The money in the crew account must be enough to spend. Apart from the 200 million or so owed to Gilmore, Andy is now a proper rich man.

At noon, the two brought their lawyers to the Digital Ark Company. The demos of the remaining digital models of the Greek God Realm yesterday were also sent to Andy. After discussing with Slade, he found that there were many problems, and today he came to provide rectification documents up.

After more than four hours of discussion, Andy signed a supplementary agreement with Digital Ark and paid the final payment of 840 million.

It is estimated that the digital model of the entire Temple of the Gods will be completed in three months, because it is almost pure code, and subsequent maintenance costs will be very low.

On Tuesday, Andy set off from Jacqueline's house, and arrived at the interview site of "Wrath of the Gods" within ten minutes. Hollywood is a gathering place for the film industry. It's just that big, and it's not far from the location of the "Apollo" crew .

This movie is a sequel, so most of the roles have already been decided. Today's interviews are leftovers. After Andy came over, many staff members took the initiative to greet him, and Andy nodded in response.

Despite his fame, Andy still maintains his original intention of providing entertainment for the masses and will not drift away.

Led by the staff, Andy opened the door and entered the meeting room. There were three interviewers, the producer Kevin Noye, the director Jonathan Libesman, and the lead actor Sam Worthington.

Don’t look at the producer as the biggest producer when shooting a film, but sometimes the star actor’s right to speak is equally important. Sam Worthington is not only the leading actor of “Clash of the Titans”, but also the leading actor of “Avatar 1”.

He is now favored by many directors in the film industry. The problem is that he is not popular and the audience can't remember him.

But these did not hinder his right to speak in the crew, but Andy felt that he looked at him strangely and seemed unfriendly.

After Andy sat down, the interview began.

"Andy, you must have watched "Clash of the Titans", tell me what you think of the last movie?"

The producer's first question made Andy a little confused. He is not the leading role, but just playing a supporting role. Does he need to understand so much?And the plot of this drama is very bad, can you tell the truth?
"I think the action design and special effects of the last movie are very good, especially the protagonist's role positioning is very good."

It's polite, without mentioning the criticized plot and the old-fashioned positioning of supporting roles. For example, Hades, the king of the underworld, must be a bad guy, Zeus is a good guy, an arrogant king, a princess sacrificed or something.

Director: "Okay Andy, do you know the character Ares?"

"Thugs who only know how to kill."

After two satisfactory answers, the director and producer looked at each other and said, "Andy, the salary for this role is [-] US dollars, and you need to set aside three months from October to December. Is there any problem?"

Generally speaking, schedule remuneration and the like are communicated by agents, but Andy has been communicating directly on the spot without an agent.

But three months to shoot a supporting role?

It's a bit too time-consuming, and the supporting role of this show, Ares, is very facial, so the price/performance ratio is a bit low in this way.

"There is no problem with the salary, but I'm sorry, I have already given it all to other directors in October. In November and December, the first season of "Apollo" will also be filmed. Can you set a specific date?"

Hearing what Andy said, the producers and directors frowned. Generally speaking, newcomers are not allowed to put forward any conditions, but Andy, a newcomer, was named by investors, so they decided to temporarily invite An Di Di came in to be Ares.

Just as the two were frowning and thinking, Worthington on the side said coldly: "Andy, to be honest, I don't like to cooperate with traffic stars who have no acting skills, but it seems that the producers and directors reluctantly agreed. interview you.

You have to know your position, although you have made a splash in the TV drama industry, but you have no status in the film industry, you are just a rookie!

With your attitude now, I am even more unwilling to cooperate with you, but I still give you a chance to lower your profile, Ares is still yours. "

Sick!Did you come here because you were taught by this guy?
If it weren't for the embarrassment on the director's and producer's faces, Andy would almost have thought that these three were making red faces.

"Oh, you guys can play by yourself."

Ignoring the call from the producer behind him, Andy pushed the door open and left.

Andy, who went out, still felt as disgusted as eating a fly, and he felt that he had to find an agent as soon as possible. These things should be handled by the agent, so as not to disgust himself.

"Worthington, you are just listening in and have no right to express your opinion! How do you ask me to explain to investors?"

Not long after Andy left, the producer Kevin Noye in the room started firing at Worthington.

Worthington said nonchalantly: "Everyone is trying to make this movie a good one, and I did what I should do. It is an insult to everyone that someone like Andy Huang joined the crew!"

After Worthington finished speaking, director Jonathan struggled for a while and then echoed: "Yes, I think you can tell investors that Andy Huang's performance is too poor to be used. We still have to stick to it."

Both of them objected to Andy's coming in. Kevin shook his head and was about to tell the investor about this matter when the phone rang suddenly. He saw that it was the investor, so he quickly answered the phone and told the story of the interview.

At the end, he added: "Both the director and the leading actor are opposed to him joining the crew, or should you think about it?"

After the other party replied, he hung up the phone directly. Kevin was dripping with cold sweat and turned to Josna and Worthington.

"Sorry you two, the crew will fire you."

Josenna was stunned, and Worthington jumped up directly.

"What! Are you crazy? I'm the leading role!"

St. Louis Film Company, Lucian hung up the phone and said to Selena on the side: "It's arranged, Kevin will contact Andy again."

Selena nodded and continued to check Twitter.

"Selena, why did you help Andy Huang? He not only exposed the life of Nando's family to the public, but also indirectly caused Michael's death. Shouldn't he expose this to Najia and the others?"

Selena paused, and replied: "No, Andy's people saved Najia and the others. Don't reveal the matter of "Vampire Life". It can be regarded as a reward for Andy Huang. As for this movie, Andy must be found." Huang, for the same reason.

I want to find an asylum for our blood race. I still don’t understand what kind of existence that Fantastic Man is, but he must have a close connection with Andy Huang. If it weren’t for the investigation, it was found that Andy Huang was very ordinary before, and he was a Sacred Valley filmmaker. Yes, I doubt that Andy Huang is Fantastic Man, and it would be good for us to befriend him. "

Lucian nodded and said nothing, as if he really believed what Selina said.

And Selena looked out the window with an inexplicable expression. When Lucian mentioned Michael just now, somehow, the feeling of heartache has faded a lot. Maybe, the long-lived vampire is a little more indifferent than humans.
