Chapter 46

Seeing Tom's gaffe, mark asked strangely, "is there a problem?"

Tom said, "don't you know that apart from Tim Burton's Batman in 1989, the production cost of the other four films is $70 million less. The production cost of Schumacher's rotten film Batman and Robin has reached an amazing $130 million. Now the actors' remuneration and costs are increasing."

Mark interrupted him and said, "eighty million dollars. The production budget of Batman's time of war is eighty million dollars."

”Eighty million dollars! Do you really think it's $8000? " Tom said heartily, "do you know how to make a $80 million film?"

Mark said: "at least there are hundreds of millions of works of beimi to qualify."

Tom said: "beimi's billions is the hard standard, and hundreds of millions of clubs are qualified to make hundreds of millions of large-scale productions. This man from earth and chainsaw can't break hundreds of millions in North America, but with your talent, you should be qualified at the age of 30, which is also very amazing."

Mark said: "Warner and I can't wait ten years. I hope Kevin wants to have a relationship with the ronaldson family within two years. It's impossible to show enough strength and sincerity."

Tom said with a wry smile, "this is not what I can ask?"

Mark said, "this is what Sophia taught me. If you want to enter her door, you must show enough strength. If you want to please her with some small things, she despises it."

Claire touched Tom and said, "these problems are not what you can care about. Did Kevin just give you a 50% salary increase and you worked for him? Sophia, as a bank executive, has her way of employing people. "

Tom smiled. He thought so too. Kevin was too naive to curry favor with the ronaldons. He just worked for Kevin and thought of him wholeheartedly. He said, "what are your plans for the second half of the year?"

Mark said, "I won't go to school to suffer. I plan to take a year off and finish the post production of the chainsaw first. If it is handed over to Warner, I will make a new film."

Tom got used to his high-speed and said, "which one is the wedding pride?"

Mark said, "I wrote a new play the other day. Inspired by the last episode of season 5 of friends, I called it hangover."

It happened that black brought some baked bread, ham sausage and fried eggs. He was surprised and said, "it seems easier for you to write a script than a composition."

"When you get inspired, you write quickly," Mark said You have to copy plays, but you have to write your own composition. Of course, the speed is different.

Tom said, "can you show me the script?"

Mark said, "of course! I have registered with the screenwriter Association. This time I welcome Warner's investment, because the production cost of the hangover will reach $30 million. They can invest half, and the rest will be prepared by me. If they are not interested, I have no problem raising all the funds myself. " Different from other directors, they know the depth of this line. Generally, they dare not invest in their own works, and few big directors dare to invest in their own works.

Black brought food to Tom and Claire. She took advantage of the situation and sat next to mark. She was surprised and said, "have you been so rich?"

Mark said: "for those financed through banks, as long as there is a low pledge on assets, I can borrow money."

Tom said, "it's too risky. Why don't you wait for the shares of this man from earth and the chainsaw to arrive, or persuade Warner to invest?"

Mark said: "in this way, I will have nothing to do for several months. I will be bored if I have nothing to do. Hangover is a good project. I can only get more rights and copyrights if I participate in the investment. I don't want to work for others. I want to quickly break into fame and get the opportunity to direct superhero blockbusters."

On the one hand, the main reason is that mark watched the news a few days ago. Superstar and famous director Mel J. Thompson is building momentum for his third film passion.

Mel J. Thompson is the top player in Hollywood and the top player in the 20 million club. It is said that as a superstar, one of Hollywood's rare resources, there is no $25 million and 20% share. Please don't touch him. This 2520 is the top existence, which is better than Arnold's 30 million film salary and dividend of Terminator 3, because Terminator 3 sold poorly and the producer cried. Arnold proved that he was not worth the price.

Mel J. Thompson proved his value with one work after another. As the best Australian in Hollywood, he is recognized as the leader of the Australian gang.

After starring in a large number of films and being a producer, J. Thompson began to prepare to be a director It is very common in the film and television industry. Clint Eastwood, Kevin Costner and Judy foster have all achieved great success in this regard. J. Thompson has long been prepared for this. As an actor, he has rich performance experience. As a producer, he is also familiar with the work behind the scenes, and his close cooperation and mutual consultation with three famous directors also make him quite familiar with the work of directors Xie, he is familiar with directing again, and gets twice the result with half the effort. After making several blockbuster works, he won the Oscar for the best director and film emperor with his self acting and self directed brave heart, and became a world-class star.

Integrating actors and directors is not uncommon in the performing arts circle, but only a few people have really achieved success. Clint Eastwood has also been favored by Oscar Awards, but Mel and J. Thompson are the most stable and best on the road of "directing" and "acting".

He was born in the United States, grew up in Australia and became popular all over the world. Mel J. Thompson, who has the title of best director at the Academy Award, ranks among the "100 greatest actors in film history" of Empire magazine and is worth up to 25 million dollars, is a well deserved Hollywood super heavyweight star and one of the sexiest men in the world. It was once described that his blue eyes can melt steel.

However, after his success, this guy was obviously arrogant, arrogant and arrogant. He dared to shoot the forbidden subject of the passion of Jesus. It was like exposing the scars of the Jews, beating them in the face and suppressing them. Now mark knew that this guy was so famous that he was famous in the world with a bloody hacksaw in 2017, Before that, he only played a supporting role in some small films.

The film passion of Jesus has achieved great success, with 370 million US dollars in North meters and 600 million US dollars in the world, ranking third in the year. However, Mel is extremely happy and sad. The Jews have great power in Hollywood. Under their full pressure, Mel's career fell to a low point, his wife divorced and the company went bankrupt. It can be said that he earned it before, Now I've paid for it all.

The passion of Jesus was one of the three top grossing films in 2004. Because of its religion and taboo, the original title of the film was passion, but Miramax company is shooting a film of the same name, and Mel Gibson will change the title to the passion of Jesus.

Hollywood has always held a cynical attitude towards religion and despised movies about religion. When Mel J. Thompson announced his plan to make a film about the crucifixion of Jesus, he immediately suffered criticism and obstruction from various forces.

Mel J. busson is the most conservative actor and the most devout director. He believes in Catholicism. He has acted in more than 40 influential films. He lives a relatively conservative life. For directing films, he gives all his sincerity. He likes to shoot the essence of the crucifixion of Jesus and is completely loyal to history.

In fact, this subject about religious taboos has been filmed for a long time. In 1988, the great director Martin Scorsese launched the last temptation of Christ. The film caused great controversy after its release because it boldly touched on Catholic doctrine. In the end, the box office revenue of the film was only $8.4 million. The passion of Jesus, with a similar theme, encountered great difficulties when it was released, No big company is willing to risk taking over this hot potato.

Mainly, Mel hopes that all the details in the film can truly restore the history in people's mind as much as possible. In the film, Jesus will be discriminated, tarnished and abused by Jews. In order to get a more shocking feeling, many terrible torture tools are arranged on the scene, which stimulate the sensitive nerves of Jews.

Under various pressures, Mel had to re edit the film to give more sympathetic factors to the Jewish role in the film, and invited evangelicals in Colorado spring, religious leaders in Pennsylvania and celebrities from HSD instead of ordinary citizens with the most voice to watch the unfinished * *, But many people still think that the film is a crazy act deliberately incited by Mel, or an impulse to let the descendants of sinners face the facts again.

Jews are believed to have killed Jesus, so they have suffered discrimination and persecution for thousands of years. The persecution of the * * during World War II terrified all Jews and made them extremely united and sensitive. Any act of inciting Jewish hatred can not be recognized by them.

The Jews also used their influence. As early as 1965, the Holy See officially pardoned the "crimes" of the Jews at the Second Vatican meeting. Since then, they no longer need to bear the heavy crime of "killing Jesus", which made all Jews put down a big stone in their hearts, but Mel's move is tantamount to exposing the scars and turning over the old accounts, It's strange that they are not jealous, so the name passion of Jesus alone is like a hot potato, which discourages many production companies. Mel can only rely on his own foundation, and all parties have raised about $30 million to shoot.

Even after the completion of the film production, he could not find a film company to dare to distribute it. Even after the trial, excellent comments from all parties encouraged him. Many religious people who had seen the film also expressed appreciation for his work, but now no one dares to take over.
