Chapter 871： The core team of "The Hangover"

Salary fame in Hollywood is not a threshold of judgment that needs to be avoided ashamed.

After the first season of Diaosi Men finally ended with a perfect rating of 6.5, Bradley Cooper's agent was very happy to say that he would soon become a comedy who is more sought after by the audience. Of course, this is only limited to TV field.

In fact, the TV and film circles have always been separate, and the achievements of the two are difficult to transition from the former to the latter, but the latter can easily maintain the former.

Although it sounds a bit confusing, as long as you know that movies are bigger than TV, it's easy to understand.

So when Bradley Cooper knew that he had the opportunity to participate in a movie and be the main character, there was no reason to refuse.

Lehman looked at Cooper, who was happy to leave, and said to himself, "This guy is majoring in drama and has a master's degree. Although he is trapped in a narrow image and drama, he is definitely competent..."

Moreover, people themselves are willing to seize the opportunity, not arrogant enough to use TV fame to get too high a movie salary, and the hangover can still suppress the production cost, which is also very important.

Anyway, you can't take it lightly until the film comes out.

Lehman turned his head, moved his body, and then instructed Johnson to sort out the resumes of actors who were worth no more than $5 million and preferred to have acted in comedy genres, and then frowned and slowly scrolled through... .

In the recent movie market, the number of screening theaters in the ninth district has been reduced to 988, barely still in the top ten, ranking ninth. The single-day account is only double-digit, and it may add up to 3 or 4 million in a week. , It is also fortunate that at the end of the year, the Olympic movies all pay attention to controlling word of mouth, and the ninth district has not been squeezed more severely.

But it doesn't matter anymore. In the film industry, there will always be a replacement, and it is very satisfying to fulfill the established expectations, including Lionsgate.

Of course, if the Ninth District is not already very powerful, the cooperation between the two may not be so harmonious. I don't know how many temporary partners in Hollywood are falling out because of profit sharing...

"Is the new project a comedy? Directed by Todd Phillips."

After collecting and sorting out the resumes of relevant personnel from the Actors Guild and major brokerage companies, Johnson immediately understood that he had something to do, and accompanied Lehman to work on the initial screening of actors, "Aren't you looking for a movie star with guaranteed traffic, Ben Stiller? And Owen Wilson are very close to the firefly." Starting https://https://

Lehman shook his head. Selection is also his strength, but that doesn't mean he doesn't listen to any suggestion. "Director Phillips also recommended Ben Stiller, so do you know how I refused?" The two have worked together before. The police duo have a good relationship.

"I'm just curious. The most popular comedian right now is Ben Stiller. Looking at the comments from the media and the audience, everyone likes him very much. He does have a good appeal."

"He's good for the hangover, of course, but I don't think it's worth it. You know, he's probably worth more than $15 million in salary incentives at Museum 2, and even with a pay cut, it'll be less than a thousand. Wan? The Hangover is not the kind of movie that relies on characters alone to make jokes. With him, it will definitely attract more attention from fans, but it does not necessarily pay off very much."

Johnson understood.

Soon, after Lehman and Johnson negotiated and determined a casting list, they invited Todd Phillips again.

Todd has just signed the director contract, and has just started busy with the preparatory work. Although he himself does not have much desire to fight for actors, he is very positive when he participates in the audition to know who to cooperate with in the future.

As a result, when he came, the situation was slightly different from what he expected.

Generally speaking, it is very simple to screen actors according to the needs of the script. Simply send the criteria to the Actors Guild or major studios and let them determine the recommended personnel internally, and then audition. , After all, the investment share of Hangover is only 35 million US dollars. This is because of going to Las Vegas to shoot the scene, and the local cost is relatively large, otherwise it can be less.

And there are main scenes, only four characters with a tiger and a baby, the scope itself is not large.

But who knows, Lehman has already provided suitable actors, and he can even avoid spending time auditioning, which is really first-class efficiency.

......

Bradley Cooper plays the romantic teacher Phil, with a salary of 4 million;

Ed Helms, the host of The Daily Show, is an actor as a side business, but given his years of experience in show production and his ability to control humor, playing a timid and timid dentist Stu doesn't need to worry about playing at all. The salary is 2 million, and this person who also has the ability to polish the jokes on the spot is one of the major contributors to the success of the hangover;

As for the strange brother-in-law in the original version, Lehman was a little unimpressed, and it was difficult to find out from the crowd, so he changed it to the **** Steve Carell who performed the most difficult but wonderful performances in Little Beauty. After the little beauty in the sun, her popularity gradually accumulated, and then it became popular due to the broadcast of the TV drama Office, and the star road suddenly opened.

Steve Carell received the invitation, and he is a firefly with great production guarantee, so naturally he will not refuse salary of 2.7 million;

The last role is Doug, the initiator of this farce. Although he has fewer roles than the above-mentioned ones, he is also a key role in the promotion of the plot. Rainn Wilson, recommended by Johnson, is not much to talk about. Yes, he has acted as a comedy star partner and is a client of caa. He is 28 years old and meets the requirements of the role. The salary is only 300,000.

With such a team lineup, there are not only Cooper and Helms, the core duo of the original work, but also the powerful actor Carrell, which can basically guarantee that there will be no problems during shooting.

Of course, Todd Phillips thinks so too. Although he is not familiar with all of these people, he can see from his resume that the casting was done carefully and not randomly. New 81 Chinese website updates the fastest computer: https://

Anyway, the focus of this film is how to make jokes under the cliché setting of a ridiculous night, and it just so happens that these guys are very experienced in comedy and are good at creating. They all have perfect abilities. The most important thing is that their combined salary is only 9 million, which can be said to be affordable.

Finally, the female characters in the cameo of the "Broken Sisters" partner, Kat Dennings and Beth Beer, can also add some topics to the movie's promotion, such as the reunion of the male and female protagonists of the diaosi.

After all, Cooper and Dennings can become popular faster than in the previous life. At this time, the audience relationship will have some foundation, and they can be diverted through TV series.

In other words, whether the hangover can surprise people after controlling the risk, Lehmann has made an effort.
