Chapter 485： hollywood press

Firefly Pictures Office.

Leiman was sitting in the boss chair reading the newspaper, occasionally taking a moment to pay attention to see if Wen Ziren was here.

Three weeks ago, Lehman received a call saying that the script of "Dead Silence" had been rewritten, but he was busy at the time and had no time. Until now the film was finished, and Thomas was taking care of the later work. Make time to discuss the matter.

In the intervening days, Wen Ziren was not idle, he was busy preparing for the crew, and occasionally went to direct an episode of "The Walking Dead", saving Lehmann a lot of time.

Beyond that, it's the actor's problem.

The investment in "Dead Silence" will not be too much, and the props will be very expensive. After all, there are so many realistic dolls, so it is necessary to find some actors who have experience in acting and are still affordable. It's not hard to find, it's hard to choose.

After all, Hollywood lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of people to act.

Before anyone came, Lyman continued to read the newspaper.

He was holding a copy of the Los Angeles Journal.

Most of the entertainment pages revolve around the upcoming Oscars and other news.

What has been publicly praised by a well-known film critic, and what has won an award of so-and-so.

Anyway, it's over if you brag hard and show it to the judges.

Lehmann was thinking about whether to inform Warner's PR team to suspend the rhythm of touting.

The human heart is always unpredictable...

"Boss, Wen Ziren and Ray Naval are here." The assistant came in and said.

"Let them in, they're pouring two cups of coffee."

After a moment, Wen Ziren took a briefcase and walked in with Navor.

After the meeting, Wen Ziren said happily: "The script has been changed. According to what you said the other day, the character of the villain, Mary Xiao, should be more easily recognized by the audience."

After sitting down, Warner also said on the topic: "Mr. Ryman, thanks to your suggestion, otherwise the plot of the script is really ill-considered, and some details before and after are ignored."

"Nothing. No matter how good a story is, it needs the right people to shoot it. Besides, the source of inspiration for this script is a nightmare, and you will inevitably fall into a mental deadlock. I just expressed a little from the standpoint of an outsider. Opinion." Lyman smiled and waved, and asked his assistant to pass the coffee to the two of them, "Have you brought the script?"

"Ok."

After handing over the revised script to Laiman, Wen Ziren couldn't help but look at Laiman.

He admired Lehmann very much. Not only did he get good film grades, he had a great career, but he also treated people with sincerity.

In Wen Ziren's heart, this is an idol he needs to chase after.

So even after the success of the "Chainsaw" series, he did not listen to his opinions, arrogant enough to think that his works would not go wrong.

After reading the new "Dead Silence" script, Lyman nodded with satisfaction.

This version is much more logical than the original version. Mary-Shaw is no longer a moral bitch, but belongs to the victim. The ballads that curse the town can be explained. It can be said that it has great potential for shooting.

"So, do you have suitable candidates for actors?" Lehmann asked curiously.

"Well, there are roughly two candidates for the role. Ryan Covanton plays the protagonist Jamie, and Laura Reagan plays the woman in Survivor of the Small Town."

"Well, it's not bad." Wen Ziren briefly talked about the performance qualifications of the two, and Lehman agreed.

Ryan Covanton is a popular TV drama star in Australia. He has a good image and looks handsome. He is both photogenic and has acting experience.

Lehman can also guess that the main reason why Wen Ziren chose him as the male protagonist must be to praise his fellow Australian.

This is also the case. After Ryan became popular in Australia, like many regional stars, he wanted to try to break into Hollywood and become an international superstar.

After all, it is very clear who has more film and television resources in Hollywood or Australia.

As an actor, who has no ambition yet?

Moreover, since he has the capital, he is naturally willing to venture out.

After going back and forth, I found Wen Ziren, because in Hollywood, Australia also survives in newspaper groups, known as the Australian Gang.

With the Jewish people getting off to a good start, everyone is more willing to warm up and strengthen their voice in the unfamiliar Hollywood newspaper group.

Today's Aussie gang is represented by Hugh Jackman, Cate Blanchett and Hugo Weaving, and the new generation in the future will be Liam Hemsworth, Margot Robbie and Heath Ledger.

Well, Little T Troyer-Sivan is the third generation.

So, the Aussie Gang still has some connections in Hollywood, and they are willing to help their own family.

In parallel time and space, Wen Ziren finds so many Australian actors in his works based on this. After all, he has lived in Australia for nearly ten years.

Moreover, these two candidates are actually very suitable even if external interference is excluded.

After all, is it affordable?

There are not many choices for the investment amount of "Dead Silence". Second-tier and above actors basically pass, because their worth is too high, which will reduce the production cost, so they will not be invited.

And the popular Australian star went to seek development in Hollywood. According to the rules, he was only a little better than the newcomer. For example, if Ryan played the male lead of "Dead Silence", the salary would be less than 200,000 yuan, which can be said to be very economical. And it has a good publicity effect on the Australian market.

After all, the combination of local popular star Jia Wen Ziren can obviously be positively affirmed by the Australian audience.

Laiman glanced at Wen Ziren and said, "Do the remaining characters have goals?"

"Not yet, but I have contacted brokerage companies such as caa and icm, and asked them to screen for a round first Well, then this project should be approved as soon as possible. I will go to the legal department to draw up a contract, and Determine the investment situation of the project. Oh, by the way, I want to hand over the distribution of this work to Blue Butterfly Pictures, what do you mean?"

"Blue Butterfly Pictures?" Ray Warner frowned, "Can you be specific?"

In Wen Ziren's studio, in addition to Firefly Pictures, Ray Warner also has equity, and the interests of the project have always been involved with Lionsgate or Paramount, and rashly changing the distribution partner will inevitably be questioned. .

Even if they all know that Blue Butterfly Pictures is also in charge of Lehman.

However, there are really many interests involved, so you have to understand it clearly.

"Rest assured, Blue Butterfly Pictures can still release such low-cost films. If it is due to communication with theaters or announcing problems, we will definitely bear any losses, which can be written into the contract. If it is successful, we can reduce the treatment of the partner a little bit, as long as it is 10% of the North American. As for the publicity expenses, the two parties will pay together. The investment ratio is still 40% of yours and 60% of Firefly Pictures. all the same."

"Okay," Warner glanced at Wen Ziren and said, "Let's draw up a contract. We will build a crew and make a shooting plan as soon as possible."
