Chatty Hollywood

After discussing with Charlotte, Rui Fan decided to slowly attack his two good brothers.

——Although it is not that there is no simple and crude means of explanation, the headless horseman feels that it is unnecessary.

He chose to boil the frog in warm water.

Charlotte didn't comment on this.

Anyway, Keanu Reeves's problem is really not serious, at least not very anxious, Rui Fan does have time.

Charlotte took advantage of this time to officially start the casting of the new movie "Sixth Sense".

And the one who received the audition invitation first was naturally the most important actor——

*********

"Charlotte Booth's movie!?"

Bruce Willis frowned as he watched the audition invitation and script handed to him by his agent.

This made his naturally bitter face, which made him look even more bitter.

Bruce Willis knew the director Charlotte Booth.

In fact, when filming "12 Monkeys", he met the new director.

At that time, the other party came to explore Charlize Theron's class.

He had a few conversations with this director who was younger than him, and found it to his appetite.

However, even so, he still hesitated whether to accept the other party's invitation.

After all, although he showed good acting skills in "Pulp", Bruce Willis did not live by acting awards after all.

As an action star or commercial star, his remuneration and status are very dependent on the box office of the last three movies.

The upcoming "12 Monkeys" may be a classic as a sci-fi movie, but judging from the current signs, the box office potential is not very large.

——This is likely to be another "Blade Runner" that is not well-received.

For Bruce Willis, this is not good news.

This means that he must be careful in choosing his next movie.

——If he fails at the box office again, he will not be far from falling in value.

Although as long as there is a "Die Hard" series, the decline in his pay will not be too serious.

But if you can make more money, the fool will be reluctant.

Therefore, even if he received an invitation from a new North American box office champion film director, Bruce Willis had to think about it.

"Judging from the films that have been filmed, Charlotte Booth is indeed a very good commercial film director, very capable."

His agent Nicholas analyzed for him,

"Especially the recent box office of "Drop Head" has surpassed 200 million U.S. dollars, and this year's North American box office champion is locked. This kind of achievement will bring great convenience to his new movie."

"indeed so."

Bruce Willis knows that in Hollywood, investors have always favored highs and lows.

With an annual box office champion movie, Charlotte Booth has become a symbol of the dollar in the eyes of many people. His new film will inevitably be greatly abundant in terms of funding.

Moreover, I heard that the production cost of his film is less than 50 million US dollars——

"Even if you count only the North American box office, the return on investment ratio of "Dead Head Vale" has exceeded 4:1."

Willis’s agent also happened to say this,

"Judging from the current overseas market response, the performance of "Drop Head" is also very good. The combined box office of European countries may surpass the North American market, plus other places..."

"Charlotte Booth will soon gain a lot of influence overseas."

Bruce Willis knew what his agent meant.

Although, as a behind-the-scenes worker, the director is not like a star, who can gain fame and fans through his works.

But conversely, once they attract fans through their works, their quality and loyalty will be very high.

People's enthusiasm for celebrities is like a flame, coming fast and going fast. But for the director, their feelings flowed slowly.

Some more traditional markets even discriminate against stars who are engaged in performing arts, but they rarely discriminate against directors.

And now, Charlotte Booth will soon become such a prestigious director through "Decapitated Vale".

"It is indeed easier to succeed with such a director."

Bruce nodded.

Just as directors like to use big stars to boost the box office, celebrities actually like filming for big directors.

——Working with successful people is always easier to succeed!

Bruce Willis had the same thoughts, but he was also a little worried—

"Who is the producer of this new movie?"

Although Charlotte Booth can indeed be said to be a talented and guaranteed commercial film director, in the final analysis, Hollywood is still a producer-centric system.

Generally speaking, the producer knows the market better than the director. At the same time, they, who control the source of funds, are naturally more powerful than the director.

A bad director with a good producer may be able to counterattack. But a good director with a bad producer is definitely a nightmare for everyone.

——In Hollywood, there are no two movies that have been corrupted by the producer's editing. There are also some great directors' works.

——Among them, Ridley Scott should be the one with the deepest experience.

Bruce Willis has been in the circle for over ten years and has seen many similar situations.

He understands that producers are not like directors-they can't decide how high the film's upper limit is, but they can decide how low the lower limit is.

This made him have to be careful.

The answer from the agent Nicholas surprised him.

"The producer of the new film is also served by Charlotte Booth."

"The director is also a producer!?"

Bruce Willis's face looked even more bitter.

"In Hollywood, there are not many directors who can get the final editing rights!"

"Yes!"

Nicholas echoed his words,

"Bruce, this is a rare opportunity, but it's also a challenge."

Bruce Willis nodded, he knew what his agent meant--

In Hollywood, it is not unreasonable that most directors cannot get the final editing rights.

Facts have proved that once many directors have the final editing rights, they will inflate themselves and cut out some movies that do not meet the audience's taste ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ especially self.

This is naturally unacceptable to investors.

But conversely, once the director also serves as the producer and has the final editing rights, he can still produce a good movie, then the director will inevitably become a big boss.

Among them, the most famous examples are the four major Hollywood directors since the 1980s——

Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Francis Coppola, Martin Scorsese.

Such a director, investors will worship him, chanting "please give me dollars from the **** of the box office"...

And now, it seems that Charlotte Booth has come to such a key point-

If this new film is successful, he will become one of the few major directors in Hollywood who can hold the final editing rights;

If he fails, he is not much different from other commercial film directors.
