Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 288 Very Spirited
Jennifer Connelly's agent must want the highest price possible so that he can earn more.

But no matter what you do, you always have to look at the long term.

Not to mention anything else, just getting closer to Huang Ze and having a few of his people appear in Huang Ze's films in the future will be enough for him to make money.

The main actors have to have box office appeal and so on, but what about some insignificant supporting roles?

It doesn't matter who you use!

A little bit of money adds up to a lot, and it's also a considerable profit.

Besides, Jennifer Connelly didn't want her cooperation with Huang Ze to fail because of the price issue.

So, in less than a day, the remuneration was negotiated.

One million dollars.

Lower than Huang Ze expected.

As for the remaining specific details, such as car allocation, negotiations on a few assistants, etc., Huang Ze was too lazy to care.

I don't even want to worry about the casting of "Speed" other than the male and female protagonists. The people sent by Warner will handle it perfectly.

For me, the casting of "Final Destination" is quite interesting.

There are enough characters and enough supporting roles.

Then, when recruiting people, Huang Ze’s desire to collect can be satisfied.

The title of mentor of the world film industry is certain to be earned by me, Huang!
Huang Ze immediately called Will Smith and offered him a major supporting role, promising him much more screen time than last time. As Will Smith already wanted to try his hand in the film industry, he agreed over the phone.

As for the leading role, Huang Ze thought about it between Jim Carrey and Brad Pitt, and decided that the latter was more suitable.

At least it doesn't have such a strong comedy label.

Moreover, Jim Carrey was born in January 62, and he was born in December 1, which means he is two years younger.

As for his appearance, he has fewer wrinkles than Jim Carrey, and with some makeup, he has no problem playing a young man in his twenties.

And he has also made his mark. He will play the third male lead in Ridley Scott's "Thelma and Louise", which will be released soon.

It’s cheap and easy to use, but it’s never been the protagonist.

"It's just you."

Huang Ze looked through the call records and took out his cell phone.

Yes, cell phone.

Times are evolving.

This is no longer the era of big mobile phones. Small mobile phones are also available, but they don’t have as many functions.

Huang Ze found the phone number Brad Pitt left and called it.

"Hello! I'm Jerry Huang."

"Director, it's you." Brad Pitt on the other side stood up immediately to ensure that there was no problem with his tone.

He dropped out of college two weeks before graduating and came to Hollywood to make a living. He pretended to be a chicken in a rotisserie and drove a car for a stripper.

In order to climb up the ladder, he even hooked up with Tyson's wife.

Relying on his handsome face and rich emotional life, he has dated many actresses.

pity.

I still don't have any representative works.

The protagonist has never been played once.

He needs a chance.

In his eyes, Huang Ze is definitely a great director.

No matter why Huang Ze called him, he felt that he needed to catch him!
"My company has a new project with a production cost of more than 10 million. It's a horror film. I'm the producer and screenwriter. The director is someone else. There's also a position for the male lead. Do you want to try it?"

"Yes I do!"

"Very much."

"Thank you, director!" Brad Pitt was ecstatic.

The first protagonist in my life is finally here! Even though it's a horror movie.

But it doesn’t matter. If you really want to talk about it seriously, "Alien" is still a horror movie. Who wouldn’t want to act in it?
A horror movie with a budget of 10 million dollars is considered a big production among horror movies.

In addition, since this film is written and produced by Huang Ze, the chances of this film being a success are much greater than other films.

The most important thing.

This guy is the protagonist!

As long as there is a certain level of box office success, he won't have to rely on scandals with female stars to gain fame, and he will be a person with representative works.

I don’t know whether the road ahead will be easy or not, but at least I have stepped through that door!

"Thank you so much for remembering me."

"You are talented, believe me, Brad, you have the opportunity to become a superstar, and let's start the road to becoming a superstar with this "Final Destination"!" Huang Ze made a big promise as soon as he opened his mouth.

Even so, Brad Pitt on the opposite side was eating happily.

After hanging up the phone, Huang Ze called again to inquire about Jim Carrey, and after learning about the recent film and television dramas he had participated in, he gave up.

The other party may not come to play a supporting role that dies after a short while.

And the other party obviously only makes comedies, so why not come and make a horror movie like mine?

After deciding not to cast Jim Carrey, Huang Ze counted on his fingers the actors in Final Destination.

There are seven actors whose deaths are specially designed by the Grim Reaper.

The male and female protagonists are thrown away.

The Chinese actors that he wanted to insert were discarded, Cheng Hong and Hu Jun.

Throwing out Will Smith, the role of the teacher obviously needs to be played by a middle-aged woman, leaving only one role for a young actor.

The actor cannot be too handsome, for example, Leo or someone like that. Although Pitt is considered a handsome guy in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, it is best not to overshadow the protagonist. The protagonist should stand out enough.

It would be best if the person is talented enough and someone you have heard of.

Ah!
The bankrupt version of Leo appeared in Huang Ze's mind.

"Just be stunned."

The original "Good Will Hunting" was just a small benefit given to the other party by taking the other party's famous work.

As for people, it was easy to find. Huang Ze directly arranged for an assistant director recruited in Hollywood to go to Harvard's English Literature Department to find people.

Matt Damon was brought back to the crew within a few days.

"Huang, I like your songs very much, and I like your movies even more."

"It's just that the movies I like are different from others." Matt Damon smiled, "I like Good Will Hunting more, it's really great."

"Really? I think it's good too." Huang Ze laughed, feeling an inexplicable sense of refreshment.

"By the way, Director, how did you know me?"

“I’ve seen Modern Cinderella.”

"But I only have one line in that movie!"

"Yes." Huang Ze did not deny it. He imitated the common gesture of Americans and spread his hands. "But just one glance, I feel that you are good at acting!"

"After asking around, I found out that you are a student at Harvard. This made me more certain of my judgment."

"At least, you are a smart person! No matter what field you are in, smart people are more likely to succeed."

Matt Damon was stunned and felt full of fighting spirit. Even the famous director Huang Ze said so. He thought that he might really be able to make a name for himself in the film and television industry!
"Thank you!" Matt Damon took a breath, smiled and nodded at Huang Ze.

"Very good, very energetic!"

Huang Ze patted the other person's shoulder and said, "Do a good job. I'm counting on you!"

After assembling the basic cast, Huang Ze relaxed and began to travel between the United States and Hong Kong, balancing work and life.

It wasn't until late June that I received a call from a distant relative.
