บท 4: chainsaw crew casting
Dean had some guesses, and it was because of this guess that they thought the project would be a success.
But all this still has to be confirmed from the director Kevin.
Kevin smiled calmly, of course he knew what he meant.
There are many directors who only have the word "art" in their minds. It is often very difficult for such directors to obtain investment from film companies.
Among these studios, there is a category of their own for film directors.
Commercial director and art director.
Most of the funds that art directors invest in filmmaking come from overseas investors, and very few make money.
Commercial film directors, as long as they do not fail in succession, are often more likely to obtain investment.
Dean of this New Line movie seems to be trying to figure out what kind of director he is.
And Kevin's choice was naturally a commercial director.
"Because young people like hot girls."
Kevin's words immediately made everyone present laugh, but the subtext in the words was obvious.
He is not a director for the sake of art, without regard for the audience.
With this premise, the ensuing conversation was very pleasant.
The three film companies gave him similar conditions, with a total production cost of $1.3 million, which included his director's salary of $50,000 and all production costs.
This amount, in Hollywood, is undoubtedly the low cost of the low cost.
And his salary is also very small, but Kevin doesn't care.
As long as Chainsaw can achieve one-third of the results it should have, he, Steve Kevin, will never be able to make such a meager income as he is now.
The copyright of Chainsaw Horror in his hands will bring him huge benefits.
As for discussing income sharing with them, although I am unwilling, the reality is not Long Aotian, a rookie director like him who has not proven himself in Hollywood.
It's impossible to talk to them about sharing.
but·····
With a hint of hope that it might be possible to agree, Kevin offered his thoughts.
"Everyone, I'm very confident in my film, and I have an idea."
"what idea?"
As film companies, they are naturally connected to each other, and there will be no vicious competition that ordinary people imagine.
Of course, the biggest reason is that Kevin is just a director who has not proven himself, so there is no need to cause conflicts between him and other film companies.
Therefore, the three companies have tacitly carried out price reduction moves.
Now, the director seems to want to make his final request, and they will also measure whether to agree to his request.
"I don't want a salary, but I want to implement a gambling agreement with you."
"Oh? Interesting, let's hear it?"
Dean spoke first.
Kevin stretched out **** with a serious face and said:
"The global box office is less than 20 million, I don't want a penny.
"Starting from 20 million box office, if it exceeds 20 million box office, I want 1% of the box office revenue, and then for every 10 million more, this percentage will increase by 1."
Dean laughed, such a gambling agreement sounded very interesting, and he could feel the ambition in Kevin's eyes.
Apparently, Kevin believed in his heart that his first movie would gross more than 20 million.
In Dean's view, the odds were no more than one percent.
It is theoretically impossible for an up-and-coming director to earn tens of millions in box office with a $1.2 million movie.
Therefore, this condition can be fully complied with.
"Okay, I promise you, but the upper limit is at most 5%."
Dean said with a smile.
In the words of the Chinese people, be careful to make the Wannian ship, even if it is impossible, he must prevent the possibility of overturning.
The 5% highest box office share determines that even if Chainsaw really explodes, the money allocated to Kevin will still not make New Line Cinema feel a pain.
"it is good!"
Kevin, who achieved his goal, shook hands with Dean, indicating that the cooperation between the two sides had been reached.
As for striving for more shares, it's still the same sentence, no one is a fool.
If the box office really does get $150 million at the box office as it should have, then New Line Films may have to give him 13% of the box office.
This huge benefit is enough for the New Line Film Company to turn its face and manipulate the overseas box office. In this way, he may not even get the benefits that he should have obtained.
5% is already quite a good result.
As for the Big Jazz and the Big American Film Company on the side, Kevin has stopped watching it. He has already seen from the negotiation just now that only New Line Films is really interested in investing.
The other two seemed to accompany Dean to cooperate, and at the same time create a common pressure to prevent him from being too difficult to deal with as a young man.
The two sides reached a cooperation, and Dawson, who had not spoken much, stood up and began to discuss the specific details with Dean. After a few visits, an agreement was quickly signed.
In the end, it's just a small investment after all, and it's entirely up to Dean to decide.
If it is an investment of tens of millions, then it must be the entanglement of dozens of negotiating teams.
After the deal was reached, Dean quickly left the CAA building with two others.
In the room, only Dawson and Kevin were left in an instant.
Picking up the contract on the table, Dawson smiled slightly:
"Kevin, members of the crew? And the actors, do you have any arrangements here?"
Kevin waved his hand and said naturally:
"Except for a few positions that I have determined in the plan, you can arrange other people. If you are an actor, you can find some new actors to interview. If you absolutely adopt it, you can directly sign the agent contract on the spot."
"Okay, leave it to me Kevin."
Dawson's face is full of excitement, this is the power of the director.
A director's client can bring a large number of high-quality clients to CAA's agents, and if the director's film is very successful at the box office, it will have a chain reaction.
What he can do is to better serve Kevin in all aspects.
...
After Dawson went to the Screen Actors Guild to set up the Chainsaw Horror project, countless actors were able to see part of the Chainsaw Horror news from the Screen Actors Guild.
After learning that this was a horror film with a small investment, countless actors felt that they could get a chance and came to the interview place set by the crew.
The big crew, needless to say, but all the characters with names are selected by actors who have experience or have a certain performance experience.
It is often difficult for a pure newcomer or a newcomer with little performance experience to get such an opportunity.
On the contrary, small investment crews often choose new actors because they cannot afford too much remuneration.
For these new actors, a well-known role is often more important than money.
In this case, three days later.
Outside a certain office building near Hollywood, hundreds of people lined up outrageously. They came here for only one purpose, and that was to get an important role from the Chainsaw crew.
...
In the office, Kevin methodically looked at resumes one after another.
The crew is divided into two interview parts, one part is the trick in the play, which is being interviewed by the assistant director Dawson is looking for for him.
On the other hand, the most important roles in the film were interviewed by Kevin himself.
"Salma Hayek?"
Looking at the small photo in the resume and the name that seemed familiar but didn't remember very well, Kevin thought carefully.
At the same time, Salma Hayek also entered the room.
Looking at Salma Hayek in front of him, Kevin finally shines.
The more than a dozen women in front are far worse than Salma Hayek in front of them, not to mention her resume, she seems to have won the Novella TV Award in Mexico in 1989. Best Actress and Best Newcomer at the Novella TV Awards in Mexico.
To be able to win the award shows that her acting skills are also good.
Best of all, these awards are not universal in the United States, arrogant Americans, do not recognize these awards.
Therefore, for Hollywood, she is a rookie actor, and the remuneration can only be calculated according to the rookie.
Kevin's only concern, though, is whether she'll let go in the show.
Although the scale will not be too large, that is, the dew point.
But it is also appropriate to give the audience some welfare or something.
....
Salma Hayek looked at the young director in front of him and stood up proudly.
She is full of mature temptations, especially a pair of large **** that have developed, which makes people have the urge to step up and grasp.
However, Kevin knew that this pair of **** could not be grasped with both hands.
It was also at this time that he finally figured out the future development of the actress in front of him.
To put it simply, there are many large-scale movies of Salma Hayek, so they must be released.
It's not a big problem for her to play the heroine in the play.
Kevin selected a short plot from the script and handed it over to Salma Hayek to perform.
After initially judging the acting skills and the figure, there is no problem.
Kevin asked:
"Do you have an agent?"
Salma Hayek was overjoyed, this subtext is in all likelihood the heroine is in place.
She quickly shook her head and said:
"No, I haven't been in Hollywood for a long time, and I'm still learning English. My English isn't particularly good."
Kevin nodded and continued:
"If you end up being selected as the heroine, you must sign with my CAA agent, no problem?"
"no problem!"
Salma Hayek is decisive.
Kevin nodded and let Salma Hayek leave first.
Dozens of female characters came in one after another.
But no one makes him have that kind of impulse like Salma Hayek anymore. Although many actresses hinted to him during the interview process, it is his first work.
What Kevin wanted to see more was the success of the movie.
As for beautiful female stars, there are as many as there are in Hollywood. As long as you are successful, you will naturally not lack the surrounding of those Yingyingyanyan.
The heroine's interview is over, and the actor is over soon.
After all, the male protagonist in horror films is not really important, but the female protagonist has fixed requirements because it involves some dew points in the plot.
Sexy and glamorous.
In the end, the interview of Jigsaw, the soul of the entire script, began.
