[US Entertainment] Top Hollywood directors

After the game ended, Rodriguez said speechlessly: "Can you still do this?"

Claire nodded, feeling that what she did was pretty good: "Yes, just do it. Don't you think it makes sense? For Phoenix."

Rodriguez rolled his eyes: "You are really good enough to get the popularity of the Golden Globe Awards for free. When you received the award just now, the live viewership was 220 million viewers. At least no one in Hollywood doesn't know that you opened a production company." It's about the studio."

Claire didn't take it seriously: "Do so many people know, that would be great."

She asked again: "Would you like to pay back the award next? I have a new movie project recently, and I'm about to join the crew after a while."

Rodriguez looked at the itinerary: "The Golden Globe is the one with the most weight, and there will be no other awards that you have to accept after that. What movie? Is there any HBO that can participate?" He was eager to try, before eating Unfortunately, he desperately wanted to counter Claire's army.

Claire immediately rejected him: "Without your share, I will make the film independently and be responsible for my own profits and losses."

Speaking of HBO, Claire thought of Emilia, the heroine of "Slumdog Millionaire", and she liked her very much.The script was conceived to be developed in the slums of India, but she felt that this would cause Easterners to see something wrong and Westerners would not be able to see it.So, Clare is going to change it into a purely western movie.

Emilia was surprised when she received the call. She didn't expect that Claire's promise to her would be fulfilled so quickly, and she was still the heroine: "My God, ok ok!" After hanging up the phone , she ignored that she was on the platform of the subway station, there were many people around, she jumped several times excitedly!Those around her who were also waiting for the subway slowly moved away from this startled person wearing a mask.

After hanging up the phone, Claire thought: "The female lead has been chosen, it's time to choose the male lead."

Her pace stopped again: "No... There are still things to do."

--------

So she asked Rodriguez, who was on the way, to take her to Marvel's headquarters in Los Angeles.

After asking about the location of the front desk, she knocked on the door of CEO Bob's office.

"Come in." Bob put down the file in his hand.

Claire opened the door and walked in. Bob was surprised to see Claire who pushed the door in.

Bob stood up immediately, "Sit down, would you like an Americano?"

Claire: "Normal temperature, thank you."

Bob turned around and went to the pantry to bring two cups of coffee, and put one of them in front of Claire.

Then he sat down opposite Claire, and said expectantly with a smile on his face, "Have you considered what we discussed before when you came this time?"

Claire shook her head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bob, due to the schedule, I can't direct your company's "Iron Man" film."

The light in Bob's eyes dimmed for a moment: "I can understand that, Miss Dorris..." Her current worth is indeed not worthy of Marvel's comic book.

Claire saw that his complexion was bad, so he interrupted him: "It is indeed a great regret for me not to be able to cooperate with your company, but I haven't finished my sentence. As far as I know, the film "Iron Man" cannot be used. The loan from your company and Merrill Lynch."

Bob nodded: "That's right, because we didn't mortgage the copyright of Iron Man to them, so we can't use this fund."

Claire: "Actually, to tell you the truth, I am very optimistic about "Iron Man". If you don't dislike me, I want to invest in this rising star, and you don't need to mortgage any other assets."

Bob could hear what she meant, but she did impress him, and he thought for a moment: "So what are you asking for?"

Claire: "3000 million, in exchange for 30.00% of the global film remuneration share."

This price is a surprise for Bob, 3000 million is divided into 30.00%.To be honest, he, who has done a lot of demand preparation research, can't guarantee with confidence that "Iron Man" will make 1 million.Iron Man is just a third-line hero in the comics of Marvel, a second-rate comic company, and there is a huge possibility that the audience will not buy it at all.

Bob was actually very moved. Many people ridiculed them for their self-inflicted suicide and the behavior of superheroes.On the way to borrow money, he encountered countless cold looks.Sony and Universal wanted them to stop planning, but how could Bob and Stan Lee want to?90.00% of making a movie is doing free work for others. They really don't want to experience it again.

Claire's money can solve their urgent needs, but the asking price is very low, as if they are doing charity.

He was silent for a while: "Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

Claire: "I like it. It's not bad. You should have more confidence in your ability."

He: "You, trust me too much...I..."

Claire: "I can't express my trust in you in more sensational words, but, I think, the money you see with your own eyes is okay."

Claire handed Bob the check in her backpack.

Claire is a big money outside, but Ian has a headache and hair loss inside the company.

Ian, who is also a financial officer: "Why did you invest all your working capital? Didn't you say that you would not cooperate with Marvel? You made me want to resign now."

Claire: "No, you have to trust me! At least I don't think I'll lose money. Just relax, I'm not stupid."

Ian: "Relax? How do you make me feel at ease? Now how do you make the new film, you make Marvel happy, how do we make the new film, and who do you ask for money?"

Claire: "Loans, this is within your business scope. Find a more reliable company, don't be like Grandet, Merrill Lynch."

Ian: "..." He choked for a moment, and was pissed off by Claire. He actually forgot about the loan. According to Claire's current worth, when she heard that she wanted a loan to make a movie, countless banks wanted to take the order.Claire knew about it, so she didn't panic at all.

Ian was speechless: "...OK."

Claire hooked her lips: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

After tossing about the little lawyer, Claire went to find her old friend.

In order to find the remaining actors faster, Claire found the casting director Nina Goode who had worked with "Game of Thrones" before.

Nina quickly accepted her order and is currently searching for actors according to her request.

First find the hero.

"The leading actor, the leading actor... Edward Norton? How could I forget him?" Claire slapped his head, acting well, "No, he's too big, I want a younger one."

Nina thought for a while, and said a name: "Leonardo DiCaprio?"

After Nina finished speaking, she felt that what she said made sense: "Actually, he quite fits the bill. When he was young, his family was not rich, and he also lived in a slum. There are so many actors in Hollywood, but not many people have his experience. will feel better.”

Claire began to conceive the image of the hero in her mind, and then compared it with Leonardo: "He is not young, he looks older than Edward."

Nina twirled the pen: "If you lose weight, you can still watch it."

Claire thought about it again: "Leonardo...then...it is indeed possible. Then he won't mind this subject? Maybe the publicity will make him encounter a lot of discussions, this title is too suitable for him I have experienced it myself."

"Just ask and you'll know. Let me call his agent."

……

Nina: "What? Already have an appointment, okay."

Nina hung up the phone: "He is preparing a film with Christopher Nolan recently. I don't know when the filming will start, but there is no way to accept new films."

Claire thought silently: "Well... I think one person is more suitable. When I watched "The Matrix" last time, the actor was quite good. He was very young. Actually, Keanu, Leonardo and Edward all have that kind of character. With clear and firm eyes, I think all three of them are fine."

The protagonist of "Slumdog Millionaire" was born in an extremely chaotic and backward environment, but his persistence and kindness as always make people feel particularly stable.

Nina: "Keanu Reeves? He's bigger than everyone you mentioned, but it's true that those people look smaller."

Claire nodded: "Just ask."

--------

Keanu was doing pull-ups at the gym when the phone rang.

It was a call from his manager. He picked up his phone and connected.

Agent: "That Nina Good called me just now and asked if you would like to accept Claire's new movie!"

"Who? What movie?"

"She didn't go into details. If you want, we can have an interview at that time! Keanu, you've changed your luck! It's the amazing director Claire!"

After "The Matrix", Keanu's filming failed at the box office. He has always been called box office poison, and now he rarely has good film appointments.But he didn't slack off, he kept exercising, improving his acting skills, and waiting for the opportunity.

--------

Nina hung up the phone and said to Claire, "Keanu agreed to audition. Can we meet tomorrow afternoon?"

Claire nodded: "Okay, that's fine. Then let's play together the male and female protagonists, so that Keanu and Emilia can play together. I don't know him well... But there is another important role, the male protagonist's brother, which is considered A villain. It would be best for the three of us to audition together tomorrow."

Claire thought for a while, then picked up the phone and contacted Edward Norton, who readily agreed to the invitation.
