Chapter 346： Invite a new play

Everyone had a good time chatting today.

The rising smell of good tobacco leaves permeates the house.

In a breath and a breath, it seems to bring out the thoughts, carefully and slowly, watching a very good script take shape in everyone's mind.

This is a kind of spiritual enjoyment, a collision of thoughts. Available but not available.

"Ah......"

Nolan is very happy, or everyone is happy.

In the evening, they had dinner together and drank some wine before going back separately.

In fact, this project, Lehmann does not particularly value, even if it invests a lot.

After all, it is a part-time job for Warner, just to make a box office money.

But if you don't care, it must be fake. If you throw one or two hundred million in, you have to get back the capital and deduct some interest.

There is also the production of the sequel behind, how can it be inserted.

With the idea of ​​director Nolan and the script adaptation in hand, if it is really successful, Warners would not dare to change people.

Anyway, this is the first one, try it out first, a piece of research and research, both entertainment and depth, to make the fans like it, and let passersby have a sense of substitution, even if you are not a DC fan, you can like it, this is achieved the purpose.

Jonathan is also a qualified screenwriter. Don't look at this dude who has been taken away by Nolan and is shrouded in Nolan's halo, but he has a good foundation. The short stories he wrote are all in-depth, and he can grasp Nolan very well. The adaptation idea of ​​​​is not pretending to be advanced, and he likes to rely on the direction of art.

......

Early the next morning, Lehmann had breakfast and drove to Firefly Pictures.

Batman's affairs will take some time, but his own affairs can also be put on the agenda.

In terms of actors, Daydreamer has already finalized the male protagonist and male supporting role, and the remaining main roles are still missing a female protagonist and the male protagonist's mother.

The male protagonist's mother is simple, the age is set to be over fifty years old, and there are many "mother households" in Hollywood.

This time, Renee Russell was directly chosen to play the hero's mother.

She is an old-fashioned actress, and she also played the role of Frigga, the mother of the protagonist in Thor.

The negotiation with her went very smoothly. To be honest, an actress of Renee Russell's age is not very popular.

Of course, acting is just a hobby. When he was young, he was the most popular cover model in the United States. Her husband, Tangier Roy, is also a very famous screenwriter, so you don't have to worry about life.

As for her, she only got a salary of 150,000.

Jim Carrey is very famous. Although he likes the script very much, his worth has not decreased much. He asked for a basic salary of 12 million plus 3% of the box office in North America. Honestly, it's pretty good.

As for Jean Reynolds, he made a guest appearance in favor of others, and the remuneration was also $1.5 million.

After all, the actor spent 13.65 million US dollars before the preparations were completed.

Just after Renee Russell was finalized, Lyman rushed to sign another actor non-stop.

In the daydream house, the female protagonist is a magazine editor and the male protagonist's boss, and she needs to be around 30 years old.

After thinking about it, there is just one person who is very suitable.

As for the previous version, which was played by Kristen Wiig, but what can she say now, she has never acted in a serious movie at all.

She was originally a half-way monk, and she has always been a comedy screenwriter. She is in charge of copywriting and designing jokes for Saturday Night Live.

This is behind the scenes, you can't go directly to the front of the stage.

......

Santa Monica Cafe.

A woman with shoulder-length short hair silently stirred the coffee in her cup, looking out the window from time to time.

"I'm sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road and I was delayed for a while."

As soon as Lehmann walked into the cafe, he saw Hilary Swank by the window.

Without him, it is still noon, and there are really few people in the cafe.

Hillary immediately stood up and smiled: "It's okay, I just arrived."

Looking at the half-drinked coffee on the table, Layman sat down calmly even though he knew he was being polite.

This role requires a very mature woman to play.

Originally, Lyman had the intention to let Kate Beckinsale try it. After all, there were only a few actresses he knew, and his own witch, Eva, was inappropriate in appearance, too charming and too young.

But Kate Beckinsale's classic royal sister style doesn't seem to fit well with a career like a magazine editor.

After thinking about it, I gave up. If you can't have a good impression of her, just hold it. That's not realistic.

On the contrary, Hilary Swank has acting skills, ordinary appearance, and heroic spirit, which is very suitable for workplace roles.

Thinking of it this way, she didn't rely on her face to eat, but instead it became an advantage?

After all, most of the actresses in Hollywood sell their faces, and when it comes to acting... It's better to talk about beauty and figure.

In addition, the replacement of actresses is very fast.

Generally speaking, when an actress is over 30 years old, she will either disappear quickly without a trace or she will have to transform, or become a "mother family" or rely on superb performances. Eliminated by the circle.

This kind of thing "vase" is the **** of male audiences and the entire Hollywood to female stars.

On the contrary, male actors, after 30 years old, will become more and more popular.

The asymmetry of resources and status is no wonder that feminists have been using it to criticize the entertainment industry.

Of course, that's not Lehmann's concern.

He only took a script out of his briefcase and handed it to Hilary Swank.

When he asked her out, he had already talked about the play date.

Hillary is still as usual, doing nothing all day.

Since her return from Cannes, she has been caught in an endless loop of finding crews everywhere.

It looks busy, but it's all busy.

At this moment, she is still very happy about the invitation of director Ryman.

With this feeling in mind, she browsed through the script of the role she was going to play.

"Can I ask, how long does it take to start filming this drama?"

It seemed that she agreed.

Lehman thought about it, he still needed to watch Batman's early preparations, so he said: "It is estimated that we will wait until July to start filming. When that time comes, I will inform you in advance. If you are willing to take this play, remember to leave it blank. During that period of time, if we were to shoot, it would take about two or three months, and framing was very troublesome.”

"Well, I see."

No surprise, Hilary Swank agreed easily.

Her salary didn't go up too much, because the role of this drama must be less than that of the million dollar baby. After thinking about it with her agent, she gave $1.2 million.

So far, the main creative lineup of this play is much higher than that of the previous life.

Jim Carrey, Jean Reno, Hilary Swank... all acting. Great.
