Legendary Hollywood Producer

"Hello, Mr. Steve Oldcock, we meet again." In the conference room of Manhai Entertainment, Roman and Steve Oldcock greeted warmly.

"Yes, Mr. Roman, we meet again."

When both parties were seated and concealed with each other, Roman began to talk about the topic, "We decided that you will direct the "Hangover" movie, Mr. Steve, provided that your salary is not too exaggerated, so we can't afford it. , After all, the budget of this movie is only 15 million US dollars.” Roman said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Don't worry, Mr. Roman, our salary requirements will not be divorced from reality." The agent Lille on the side interjected, "3 million US dollars plus 3% of the North American box office, how about it, Mr. Roman, this is also a good experience. The worth of the director of the work."

Lille is right. The worth of directors who have had good works is probably in this range, but Roman doesn't plan to involve such a high post-production share in the first film. He would rather pay the director more for the filming.

"US$4 million, plus a 1% profit share at the North American box office, how about it? If you agree, you can sign the contract."

"It's not fair to exchange $1 million for the North American box office share, Mr. Roman, 3% of the North American box office share is definitely the industry's general standard. We are not greedy." Lille tried his best for Steve- Old Kirk fights for benefits, and of course he also fights for himself. He can get a profit share from Steve.

"Our "Hangover" movie has a sequel plan. If it is released well, the next one can be produced immediately. At that time, Steve can still be the director. This is my promise. Roman directly exerted pressure, "If the first part requires 3% of the North American box office share, then we may not be able to cooperate in the second part. After all, if your share of the share is too high, the pressure on the production of Manhai Too big."

"Okay, let's back down, $4 million plus a 2% share, how about it, Mr. Roman, think about it." After knowing that there is a sequel plan, Lille's attitude was a little relaxed.

"I still have the condition just now, Mr. Lille, this is my bottom line." Roman wouldn't be able to pull with Lille like this, and directly toughened.

Steve Oldcock on the side saw that the situation was a little stiff, and he also said, "We agree to this condition, but the share of the second part is 3%." The conditions are already very favorable, and Steve is very satisfied.

"I agree, we can sign the contract."

Roman took out the prepared contract, wrote salary on it, signed his name, and handed it to Steve.

Steve took over the contract and flipped through various terms with Lille.

At the end of the contract, it is stated that the director has the right to edit the film. After being approved by the producer, he can also have the right to edit the final version of the film. Steve read it carefully and confirmed that the director has the right to edit later. .

After reading the contract, Steve was more satisfied, and he didn't have to fight for the rights of post-production film production by himself.

Take the pen, sign your name, and keep the contract in duplicate.

"Happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation."

Both parties shook hands enthusiastically.

After finding the director, he still needs to find a suitable actor for the movie "The Hangover."

Comedy movies may not require superb acting skills, but they also have unique requirements and reliance on actors. Not everyone is suitable for comedy. Even if some people stand there and do nothing, they can make you feel Funny, maybe this is called "comedy talent", they are full of joy in every gesture.

"Mr. Steve, we have found a suitable location. The staff behind the scenes, do you have any candidates?" This is also a default rule in Hollywood. Priority is given to selecting the staff behind the scenes recommended by the director. At the same time, in addition to being good for shooting, it can better take care of the director's favor.

"Well, I will give you the list the day after tomorrow, Mr. Roman, if the rest can be outsourced to CAA, their service is pretty good." Steve is not a person who doesn't understand the world, anyway, the staff behind the scenes are looking for Yes, he estimates that he will also come up with 5 or 6 places to convene the old friends before, and the rest can be handled by CAA. After all, Steve only intends to change the broker, not the brokerage company. You can sell your face to CAA.

Roman is not indispensable, there is not much difference between handing over to CAA and WMA. Since director Steve wants to hand over to CAA, Roman also nodded in agreement.

"Oh, yes, the script of this movie has deleted a lot of swear words according to your requirements. The dialogue between these characters may require you to play by yourself. I won't restrict you, just fine." Roman thought about the script again.

"No problem, Mr. Roman, this is a trivial matter." Shooting a comedy like "The Hangover" does not rely on dialogue to promote the development of the plot. Steve Oldcock is confident that he can make such a movie.

"Then it's okay. In addition to the movie, we have to select suitable actors." Roman said to Lamy on the side, "Lamy, you will take Steve to inspect the location tomorrow to see if you are satisfied. Also, when you go to Warner, prepare a studio in advance and rent it out as soon as the crew is complete."

Lamy on the side listened to Roman's words and said to Steve, "Mr. Steve, I will drive to pick you up tomorrow. Let's see if the location meets your expectations."

"Well, no problem."

"Do you have any thoughts on the roles in the film? Is there a suitable actor? Mr. Steve." Roman also doesn't know if the director has an actor he likes. First ask clearly. If not, Roman will prepare to go through various agencies. Came to find it.

The most important part of this movie is the 3 roles, followed by the role of the bridegroom and a beautiful dancing girl bride.

The three main characters are the two good brothers of the groom and the younger brother of the bride. The three accompany the groom to drink, and a series of absurd stories finally happened.

Among the drunk trio, one is a lawyer who has wives and children, but is uninhibited and loves freedom; the other is an honest and gentle office worker; the last is a fat man who has a bad temper but is righteous to his friends, that is, the bride’s brother. The selection of the trio is very important, this is a group play, and they are the most part of the play.

Steve thought for a while and said, "I have a comedian who I admire very much. His name is Kim Carrey..."
