Chapter 58
Tang Shi was excited the first time he received a call from his idol.But he was very surprised, how Lucas, who was busy filming in the "Black Mans" crew, got the news that he was going to make a movie.
After expressing his doubts, Lucas on the other side of the phone laughed and explained to Tang Shi: "Yun and his manager told me. Sweetheart, you are amazing. I have seen you before." The first one is a newcomer from Huaguo who invested in filming in Bad Funwood. I believe that your future will be bright. If you need any help from me, just tell me. Your idol will be happy to help you Serve."
Tang Shi thanked Lucas for his greetings.However, he didn't take Lucas's words too seriously. After all, the gap between the two was too great. Tang Shi really didn't know what qualifications he had for a small movie with an investment of only more than 140 million dollars. Lucas jumps in to help.He was too embarrassed to speak.
On the second day after signing the film contract, Evan went to the Bad Fun Hollywood Actors Union and posted the news of the recruitment of actors on the union's recruitment board.However, because the investment of this film is really small (not enough to pay a second-rate actor in bad fun), and both the director and the actors are newcomers, and one of the leading actors is actually an unknown Chinese, and the script What is being described is homosexuality, such a sensitive niche subject... The superimposition of various status quo undoubtedly makes most people not optimistic about this script.
You must know that the current Stars and Stripes looks very democratic and open, but in fact, the ideology of some states and counties in the south is relatively closed.Due to the influence of Catholicism, people in many places still regard homosexuality as heresy, and believe that it is a betrayal of God and the existence of the Lord.What's more, the term homosexuality undoubtedly represents alternatives and troubles. Those actors in the example circle who have played homosexual roles have almost never had a good end.So those who cherish feathers naturally avoid this film.
And because of this, the crew posted the news of the recruitment of actors for several days, and there were still very few people who contacted Evan.And among these very few actors, they are either crooked melons who may not even be qualified to play a part-play role, or they are slightly famous, or have been around for a long time, but relying on their own capital, they open their mouths to the lions of the crew. third-rate actors.
This made Evan, who was full of confidence in making a movie, very frustrated.However, Tang Shi learned from the memory of later generations that the film was "troublesome" during the planning period.After all, not every movie takes five years to find an investor after the director gets the script.
Fortunately, the final result told Tang Shi that all the waiting, suffering and suffering were worth it.The final film's box office and awards will tell the world what a classic it will be.
So Tang Shi, who has no anxiety and impatience, has been encouraging Evan and Lu Hengzhi with a very calm and positive attitude, and strengthened everyone's beliefs with the reason of "good things take time".At worst, let's wait another five or six years. Anyway, this movie will be released successfully.
Evan and Lu Hengzhi responded suspiciously to Tang Shi's unreasonable optimism.However, Lu Hengzhi knew Tang Shi well, and seeing that he was so confident, he gradually suppressed his urgency.So everyone turned to the website to search for beautiful scenery, but the location is relatively remote and closed, which is suitable for filming venues.
Tang Shi also spent a lot of time discussing the details of the script with Evan.And aiming at the many flaws of this script that I know, I took Evan to visit many places, consulted a lot of information to confirm the relevant information, and even visited senior experts in related fields, and strived to improve these details. Can't go wrong.
After more than half a month of this stalemate, Lucas contacted Tang Shi again - this time he recommended another actor in the film for Tang Shi.
And this actor is Lucas' good friend Leon White.When he was 11 years old, he played the leading role of Allen in "The Psychic Eye" and amazed the whole Bad Funwood. He was one of the most famous child stars in the 90s of Bad Funwood.
It's a pity that the status and situation of child stars in the entertainment industry will always be the most embarrassing.Because there are too few films with children as the protagonists in Bad Fun every year.And as they grow older, these once-popular child stars are eventually forgotten by the audience, or they can no longer regain their popularity, and gradually withdraw from Bad Fun.
That's where Leon White is now.When he was 11 years old, he filmed "Psychic Eye", which conquered the whole bad fun with his superb acting skills and natural spirituality.It was even nominated for a Bad Funwood Golden Circle Award.Become the world's youngest nominee for the Golden Circle Awards.However, the fame and wealth that followed did not make his life happier. Instead, under the instigation of his parents, he took over one garbage after another, which eventually ruined his reputation and at the same time ruined his aura.
Now Leon White is 23 years old. More than ten years have passed, and the timid and aura-filled little boy has become a young man with blond hair and a handsome face.But his life is not happy, he wants to return to the stage of Huaquwu, and wants to shine again.
It's a pity that those profit-seeking investors no longer trust him, they don't give him good roles, and they don't let him enter good crews.This frustrated Leon White, who once wanted to prove himself.
And at this time, his good friend Lucas made a phone call - to be honest, he has less and less contact with Lucas now.After all, Bad Funwood is a real world, and the disparity in status between him and Lucas meant that the two would not have any close communication in their daily lives.What's more, with Leon White's slender nerves and sensitive self-esteem, there is really no way to contact Lucas as if nothing happened when Lucas is so much more popular than him.
So Leon White was a little strange when he received the call from Lucas.Because he knew that Lucas was busy with the filming of "The Man of the Black Man" right now, and the job was so intense, he definitely wasn't the one who asked him to drink.And when Lucas explained that he saw a good script and wanted to recommend it to him, Leon couldn't believe it even more.Because he felt that since it was a script that Lucas could value, it should be very good in terms of investment and production.And such a crew, would they be willing to take a fancy to him, an out-of-date actor who wants to be famous but not famous at the box office?
As a result, after hearing Lucas introduce the script and the crew, Leon White was disappointed and relieved.Disappointed that this crew is really not a well-known crew, and the film to be shot is actually such a sensitive and niche subject matter, relieved by Lucas's mind, I didn't expect him to be so busy with his work, and he is still thinking about his own affairs .
Just because of his friend's thoughts, Leon felt that he should meet and chat with the crew. Even if he wanted to reject the script, he should be more tactful and considerate.
However, Leon didn't expect that when he saw the script, he would be reluctant to give up.Even though I know in my heart that playing such a role is definitely not flattering, and it may even be completely impossible to be accepted by the mainstream public.But Leon was still moved by this story. When he read the script, he felt that he was the young traveler, because of an accidental encounter, because of a short-lived love, he sank for a lifetime.
It's like his love for bad fun, his love for movies.
This script, this role, successfully aroused the passion and blood of Lyon when he played "The Psychic Eye".So after much consideration, Leon decided to take this book.And Lyon's promise also made Evan very excited.Even though Lyon's fame and popularity are gone now, after so many days, Lyon is the one who is most suitable for the role among the actors who came to interview the protagonist.
Moreover, Evan has also watched "Psychic Eye" played by Leon, and feels that there is no problem at all with Leon's acting skills playing the leading role.
As for Lu Hengzhi, he also welcomed Leon's joining.After all, considering the current state of the entire crew, it is the best result for Leon to play the leading actor Jason.They really can't fault it.And Tang Shi was also very satisfied with the result. Although Leon White was not the actor who played Jason in his previous life, considering that it was five years ago, that actor was only seventeen or eighteen years old this year, so he might not have entered the bad fun zone yet. .And no matter in terms of acting skills or experience, it is obvious that Leon White is more suitable.
Only when discussing the remuneration, Lu Hengzhi felt a little worried.Because the investment of the whole film is only 140 million dollars.And Lyon, as one of the most famous child stars in the 90s of bad fun, although the current popularity and influence have dropped severely, the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and his salary standard is not something that a three-none crew like "Wonderful Journey" can afford. affordable.
Fortunately, the current Lyon doesn't care much about the film salary. After asking Tang Shi, another leading actor, and knowing that Tang Shi's film salary is only [-] US dollars, Leon smiled very generously: "If this is the case, then I also want to Fifty thousand dollars is fine. Anyway, I am not short of money now, I just lack a chance to return to the big screen. And this script really attracted me."
Tang Shi and the others were shocked by Lyon's generosity and sincerity.It's just that Lyon is sincere enough. As investors, Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi can't bully people like this. You must know that when Lyon played the last film "Robot Carl" three years ago, his film salary was as high as 350 million dollars.Especially with Lucas' face in it.So after the two discussed it, they finally gritted their teeth and decided to give Lyon 5% of the movie share.
This is also the most common payment method in Bad Funwood, if a film producer is interested in a certain actor, but is unable to pay the salary, or does not believe in the actor's box office appeal.However, for Tang Shi and others, choosing this payment method at this moment naturally represents the former possibility.After all, Lyon has already offered to offer him a salary of [-] US dollars.
Leon was also very happy about the trust and sincerity of Tang Shi and others.He hadn't felt this feeling for a long time.So he has repeatedly stated that he will work hard to study the script, ponder the role, and strive to make this role well.
The first meeting was very pleasant for both parties.After Lyon returned home, he also called Lucas immediately to express his gratitude.After Lucas heard about the decision of Tang Shi and others, he was also very relieved.I feel that these two little movie fans didn't lose face.So in a moment of excitement, Lucas made an impulsive decision-in order to help "Wonderful Journey" increase its popularity, and to support his good friend's return to the screen, Lucas decided that he would be in "Wonderful Journey" A cameo in "The Journey".And considering the lack of investment in the whole movie, Lucas also said empathetically, "It's just a cameo appearance, don't talk to me about the salary. It's my support for my friends!"
Lucas' decision is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for the entire crew.
Next, there is only another important supporting actor in the film—after the film was broadcast in later generations, the only actor in the crew who won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Oleke Awards has not yet been found.Although Tang Shi didn't know how Evan, five years later, persuaded that charming actor who was known as "a gentleman in bad fun".However, Tang Shi believes that it all depends on man's effort. What Evan can do five years later, they and Evan can do the same five years ago.
This time, Tang Shi decided to take the initiative.
After expressing his doubts, Lucas on the other side of the phone laughed and explained to Tang Shi: "Yun and his manager told me. Sweetheart, you are amazing. I have seen you before." The first one is a newcomer from Huaguo who invested in filming in Bad Funwood. I believe that your future will be bright. If you need any help from me, just tell me.
