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

Chapter 183 Unexpected Surprise

He didn't believe that this was all tonight's party.

As everyone in Hollywood knows, Wayne rarely attends parties unless there are surprises.

Although there are many celebrities in this party nowadays, they are basically all familiar faces.

Don't say that he doesn't have any ideas about these female stars. Even if he has ideas, he can take action on his own.

The other party was willing to communicate with him in depth not because of Sony Colombia's face, but because of his own power and wealth.

Howard Stringer couldn't get his 'friendship' either.

So he knew that Howard Stringer must have prepared other surprises for him.

Sure enough, just when he was getting impatient and wanted to leave, Howard Stringer told him that the gift specially prepared for him had been delivered to his car.

"Already sent to the car? Is this guy very confident?"

After hearing this, Wayne couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and he felt a lot of interest in his heart.

"Howard, you are too polite. Then I will leave first."

A few minutes later, Wayne arrived at his Silver Angel.

As soon as the bodyguard and driver waiting aside saw him coming, they immediately said proactively: "Boss, Howard Stringer just sent a few people over, saying they were gifts for you."

Wayne nodded, refused the bodyguard's help, opened the back door with great expectation, and looked inside the car.

Then after seeing the appearance of the people in the carriage clearly, his eyes lit up at first, and then he couldn't help showing a slightly strange expression.

Haruka Ikawa, who started her career as a fashion model in 99, entered the entertainment industry with her tall figure of 167cm, which is rare in neon, and her delicate appearance. She became the "image girl" of TV Asahi, one of the four major neon TV stations.

Yuko Ogura made her debut in a variety show in 2000. She is a very standard Japanese girl with a sweet and cute style. She focuses on the photo industry. When she was the most popular in her previous life, she released more than 30 photo albums and videos in a year. Every day I am either taking photos or on the way to take photos.

Although these two people do not belong to the category of teachers, Wayne also knows a little bit about them.

But he was more familiar with the other two.

Xu Ruoxuan, a third-generation female star of Wanwan Film and Television, whose performance in the movie "Tornado Boy" has left a deep impression on him to this day.

As for the last one, it is the famous Sister Zhiling.

Although Sister Zhiling was born in Wanwan, when she went to study abroad in Neon, she debuted as a graphic model in Neon, and also went to an acting school to study acting. Calculating the time, she happened to be in Neon at this time.

As for Xu Ruoxuan, she is an artist under Sony Music's Wanwan branch. She often performs in Neon and has also released Japanese singles and Japanese albums.

Currently half of the time is spent in neon activities.

So it's not surprising that these two people appear here.

"Tsk, tsk, Howard Stringer really knows how to pick! No wonder he is so confident!"

Wayne looked at the nervous and expectant four people in the car, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Not to mention Igawa Haruka and Ogura Yuko, Xu Ruoxuan and Zhiling sister, although they are a little playful and spend a little time, I have to say that they are indeed beautiful.

Especially Xu Ruoxuan, whose appearance has not declined now, has directly cultivated the pure lust style popular in later generations to the extreme.

With her superb looks and pure lustful style, she managed to make a name for herself in Hong Kong, a city full of beauties, despite being a foreigner.

Anyway, he was just having fun and didn't need to take responsibility, so he was quite satisfied with the four people in the car.

"To 8 Roxbury Street."

"Okay, boss."

As the car door closed gently, Silver Angel sped towards Loxbury Street in the darkness.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the villa at No. 8 Loxbury Street. At the same time, another bodyguard was already waiting for him in front of the villa with the newly purchased 'photo suit' as per his request. .

"Go and change."

After entering the villa, Wayne did not pretend to be a gentleman and directly asked the four of them to change into the newly bought clothes.

The four of them all started their careers as photo models. They have taken many photo albums and are all very skilled.

Soon, the four people who had changed their clothes appeared in front of Wayne, looking either charming or shy.

The expression of hesitation to speak immediately made Wayne move his index finger, and he immediately couldn't wait to communicate with them in depth.

The spring night is short and the day is high, and since then the king will not go to court early.

I have to say that Xu Ruoxuan and Sister Zhiling at this time are really just right.

The battery life is also surprisingly good.

The most important thing is that the two of them obviously knew Wayne's identity, so they showed extra effort. No matter what kind of request Wayne made, they would try their best to satisfy it.

The five of them fought fiercely until two o'clock in the morning before finally deciding the winner.

After only five or six hours of rest, the battle started again under Wayne's active attack, and the battle continued intermittently for a whole day.

In the evening, Wayne, who had finished fighting again, looked at the messy big bed and decisively picked up his cell phone and dialed Howard Stringer.

"Hey, Howard, thank you for your gift, I'll keep that Ogura Yuko~"

"Haha, as long as you like it, I don't have to ask how long you want to stay." Howard Stringer said with a smile as he let go of his last worry in relief.

"As for the other three, we don't have any work arrangements at the moment. Why don't you please 'take' them in?"

"Then I'm welcome."

After hanging up the phone, Wayne stretched and stretched his neck.

Afterwards, he took a shower, changed clothes, and then returned to Wayne Manor with Yuko Ogura, who was still in a daze, so that she could keep company with Masami Nagasawa and the others.

As for Xu Ruoxuan and the other three, he temporarily stayed in the villa.

"Meida, please help her arrange a place to stay. Otherwise, just do the same as Nagasawa Masami and others."

"Okay, sir."

Meda immediately took Yuko Ogura, who was a little nervous after entering such a luxurious manor for the first time, to pick out a room.

At this time, Hannah on the side finally couldn't help but complained.

"Tsk, tsk, will you bring one back this time?"

"."

"Is this Xiao Bichi so powerful? Did you fight alone for a whole day?"

"There are three more, but I didn't bring them back."

Wayne looked at Hannah's 'I'll tell you' expression on her face and couldn't help but glared at her angrily. Then, while there was still some time before dinner, he got into the study and wrote the script for "League of Assassins".

Now he is quite skilled at writing screenplays.Relying on the ready-made memory in the head, a script can be completed in up to three days.

According to his current screenwriting fee, which can be increased to 300 million, it is equivalent to earning 100 million US dollars by working only five or six hours a day.

It’s almost more profitable than making a movie!
"I have to attend the audition for "Wedding Crashers" tomorrow, so the script for "League of Assassins" will probably take two days to complete."

"But the main actors can already be contacted in advance."

"The male and female protagonists are me and Monica Bellucci respectively, and I plan to cast Morgan Freeman as the villain."

"The third male lead, who is the father of the male protagonist, is going to find Russell Crowe. I already talked to him at the party last night. He said that he can adjust his schedule and squeeze out two months for filming in the second half of the year. , and the salary is only 1400 million."

Mia on the side paused when she heard the movement of her hand, and her eyes immediately lit up.

The past few years have been Russell Crowe's peak years. His popularity is not inferior to that of Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, and Will Smith, and is more popular than Keanu Reeves, Ben Stiller, and Nicholas ·Cage is much taller.

Therefore, the price of 1400 million for "Cross", which has a lot of roles, is really not high.

If it were Tom Cruise and DiCaprio, if they didn't get a share of the box office, they would have started at least 1800 million.

Although if you were really offered 1800 million words, any idiot would definitely choose Tom Cruise or DiCaprio, but Russell Crowe's self-reduced salary to only 1400 million is considered a proper friendship price.

"What about your and Monica Bellucci's salaries?"

"Monica Bellucci has 350 million, I have 2500 million——"

Before he finished speaking, there were several sounds of food spurting out of his mouth on the long table, followed by violent coughing.

Wayne glanced at Amanda and Lydia who were beating their chests, and then at Mia who was also stunned and stunned, and couldn't help but rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Isn't it just 2500 million? Look at Sally and Hannah, how calm they are~"

".Isn't it?" Mia was also speechless.

But if you think about it carefully, with Wayne's current fame, as the protagonist, it seems reasonable to get the same salary of 2500 million as Tom Cruise and DiCaprio.

"By the way, your producer salary is 500 million."

"Cough cough cough-"

Now even Mia couldn't help but squirt out the juice she just drank into her mouth.

A producer who doesn't need investment can still get a salary of 500 million?What is the difference between this and robbing money!
If Wayne goes for open recruitment based on this salary, even the vice president-level executives of the Big Seven will be very happy to be the producer of this movie, right?

If it were Harvey, he would probably be dancing with excitement!
"Okay, any more?"

Mia took more than a minute to calm down and asked.

"In addition, I plan to invite Jet Li to play an important supporting role in it. The scene will last about three to four minutes. If the salary does not exceed US$4 million, then it will be him."

The important supporting characters that Wayne talks about are the 'fixer' and the 'butcher'.

As for which one Jet Li will play in the end, he hasn't decided yet.

"Any more?" Mia asked.

This time she was very calm. After all, Jet Li is currently considered a relatively high-ranking second-tier male star in Hollywood.

400 million to play a major supporting role is not very expensive.

"The second female lead is a fat middle-aged woman who looks very mean and annoying. Just send this to the agencies and have an open audition."

"The third female lead is the ex-girlfriend who cuckolded the protagonist. I will decide based on the situation at that time, so there is no need for a public audition." Wayne said.

Although the role of the third female lead does not have many roles, there is still one or two minutes of scenes.

He originally thought of giving this role to Xu Ruoxuan or Sister Zhiling.

I have no other intention, I just want to buy horse bones with thousands of gold, and maybe I can attract more female stars from across the ocean.

However, Anne Hurst called him at noon today and said that the acquisition plan of SM Entertainment was going very smoothly and that the acquisition would be completed within ten days. It would not be long before the female artists he mentioned earlier. , I can send a few over.

Now he couldn't help but hesitate.

Although he is very confident in this upgraded version of "Assassin's League".

The super luxurious lineup composed of him, Russell Crowe, Morgan Freeman and Jet Li, coupled with gorgeous special effects and various eye-catching settings, the box office is definitely much higher than the original version.

But the "cheating scumbag" character of the third female lead is not very likable.

So is it for Xu Ruoxuan, Sister Zhiling, or the female star from Bangzi Country?

As for Masami Nagasawa and the others, forget it, they are still too young.

"By the way, can this role attract Sister Qiao?" Wayne couldn't help but think of Sister Qiao.

However, at this time, Qiao Mei had already become famous in Bangzi Country with "Blue Life and Death Love", and she had a certain degree of popularity even in Asia.

The third female lead, who only has one scene for one or two minutes and does not fit into her current innocent persona, should not be very attractive.

On the other hand, Jun Ji-hyun's "My Sassy Girl", which made it a hit, won't be released until July. If you bring it up early now, the other party should be very happy to agree.

Thinking of this, Wayne immediately added Quan Ji-hyun and Qiao Mei to his options, and planned to ask SM Entertainment to contact the two after Anne Hearst completed the acquisition of SM Entertainment.

On the other side, Mia didn't know what was thinking in his head, but after writing it down, she continued to ask: "What about the director's choice?"

"It's better to find Quentin. The post-production of "Taken" should have been completed by then."

A strange look suddenly appeared on Mia's face after hearing this.

"If I remember correctly, Quentin wants to write and direct a movie next, right? Can he agree?"

"The director's fee is 450 million for him, so I'm not afraid that he won't agree."

"."

After hearing this, Mia's expression couldn't help but become even weirder.

The director's fee of 450 million is definitely an irresistible temptation for Quentin, who has not yet made any outstanding achievements.

Quentin will definitely agree.

What's more, his goddess Uma Thurman is still pregnant. Even after giving birth, she still has to support her, right?
At this point, the budget of a large-scale production has once again seriously exceeded the standard, exceeding 1.6 million US dollars. The most important casting decision was made during the chat between the two after dinner.

For a time, let alone the four of them, Masami Nagasawa, who had just moved in and had not been in contact for a long time.

Even Charles Theron couldn't help but be secretly shocked after quietly calculating and arriving at this astonishing figure.

After all, this was the first time she had seen with her own eyes the casting process of Hemera Films when producing a film.

It’s really so casual!
However, Jessica and Hannah continued to eat as usual, obviously they were used to this kind of operation.
