Meiyu: I don’t care about the cost when making movies

Chapter 139 Nicole's Choice
As a result, Sarah Michelle Gellar, who was still very proud and became more and more confident in her appearance and charm, was dumbfounded as soon as she arrived at the villa.

Compared with Nicole Kidman, she is just like a little maid serving the queen. Her aura is completely suppressed by Nicole Kidman. Even when communicating in depth, she is still a little unable to let go. But this gave Wayne a different experience.

Unfortunately, Sarah Michelle Gellar, like ordinary European and American girls, has a short shelf life. If we follow the original historical trajectory, her appearance will begin to decline rapidly when she is 25 years old next year.

Otherwise, it seems like he has been holding on to this sweet girl for a long time.

"What are your plans for filming next?" After seeing off Sarah Michelle Gellar, Wayne and Nicole Kidman enjoyed a candlelight dinner alone in the villa. During this period, Wayne asked .

"What, are you going to provide me with resources?" Nicole smiled, inserted a piece of juicy beef into Wayne's mouth, and said with a smile: "I finally got divorced, and I plan to take a good rest this year. , so except for the film "Thriller Space" which is currently being filmed, I don't have any other films to shoot this year. However, there are three films shot last year that should be released this year."

"The Moulin Rouge, the Island, and the Birthday Girl?"

"It seems you still care about me," Nicole Kidman suddenly laughed happily.

"By the way, if you include your movie "The Bourne Supremacy", that's four movies."

Wayne couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. If you calculate it this way, then Nicole Kidman can be considered a big breakout this year.

The love musical "Moulin Rouge" starring her and Ewan McGregor not only earned a global box office of $5000 million with a production cost of $1.84 million, but also helped her get an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

The horror film "The Island" earned a global box office of $1700 million with a production cost of $2.09 million.

Best of all, she's an absolute blast in both movies.

It is also with the blessing of these two movies that, without the support of Tom Cruise, her fame and influence in Hollywood have increased instead of declining, and she has become one of the top actresses in Hollywood.

If it hadn't been for the failure of "Birthday Girl", the production cost of 1500 million only won 1610 million global box office, failing to win three consecutive wins.

Her fame and influence may surpass Julia Roberts's promotion to the top ranks of Hollywood.

At that time, she will be one of the best among all the actresses in Hollywood, and the only one who can stabilize her is Jennifer Aniston.

It's a pity that I was just short of breath and couldn't rush forward.

But now.
Three of the four films in which the female lead was a hit at the box office and word-of-mouth, which would have infinitely weakened the impact of "Birthday Girl" and put all the blame on the male lead and the director.

In this way, even if she is not yet at the level of a superstar, she is not far behind.

"I do have a good resource here, which is "Ocean's Eleven" produced by Warner Bros. and directed by Steven Soderbergh," Wayne said.

"The starring roles are George Clooney and Brad Pitt, and I may play the third male lead." "But because I am an investor, the heroine can be completely designated by me."

After hearing this, Nicole Kidman showed an unexpected expression of surprise.The works directed by the popular director Steven Soderbergh in the past two years, and with so many big-name stars joining in, this is indeed a high-quality resource that countless people will fight for.

However, she did not agree immediately, but reminded her with concern: "You must be careful when cooperating with a giant like Warner, so as not to get ripped off by them."

Wayne smiled, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "Don't worry, I'm an insider after all. It's not that easy for them to trick me."

"Then why don't you give such good resources to your Jessica and Charlize Theron?" Nicole Kidman asked curiously again.

Wayne shrugged and explained calmly: "Jessica is too young. The heroine is the ex-wife of the hero played by George Clooney, and she must be at least 30 years old. And Charlize Seth Long has to shoot "Resident Evil" until April, and the schedule conflicts with "Ocean's Eleven".

The project "Ocean's Eleven" has been in preparation for three or four months. As long as I have the funds in place and the heroine has been selected, filming will probably start at the end of this month. "

Nicole Kidman was suddenly enlightened at first, and then fell into deep thought.

Since July last year, she has filmed four consecutive movies: "Moulin Rouge", "Island", "Birthday Girl", and "The Bourne Supremacy". Together with the ongoing filming of "Thriller Space", that's five movies. Department.

She shot five movies in seven months, with almost no rest in between. In addition, she had to worry about divorce during this period. She was really exhausted.

"Sorry, dear, I'm really a little too tired, so I'd better give this opportunity to someone else. Of course, if you really don't have any other suitable candidates, I will definitely help you."

After thinking for a moment, Nicole Kidman gave up this great opportunity.

At this time, Wayne finally noticed the deep exhaustion in her eyes, so he did not try to persuade her anymore, but gently comforted her.

"I am the one who should say sorry. You have been working continuously for more than half a year, and it is time for you to take a good rest. As for giving up this opportunity, just give it up. With your reputation and influence, you will have such resources and resources in the future. There will definitely be as many opportunities as you need~"

A sweet and charming smile suddenly appeared on Nicole Kidman's face. After dinner, she couldn't wait to drag Wayne back to the bedroom.

At the same time, Sarah Michelle Gellar had just completed her contract signing and walked out of the Hemera Films building with her agent.

Then, before they even got into the car, the two of them looked at each other and finally couldn't hold it any longer, showing expressions of shock and excitement.

"Oh my God! I'm just a female lead. I thought it would be good to get a salary of 20 US dollars. After all, you only received 15 US dollars as the heroine in "The Deadly Game". Who? To think that Hemera Pictures actually offered you a salary of 80 yuan! Then Wayne is indeed as generous as the legend in the industry! He can take a fancy to you, you are so lucky!"

The agent's mouth was like a machine gun and he spoke quickly.
