Ace Hollywood

Ferguson is still very neat, but the news back is not very good.

Hines's play was originally called The Substitute, which tells the story in the New York Grand Theater, but it was picked up by Aronofsky as early as 2000. For some reason, Aron has never The filming started, according to the news that Ferguson vaguely learned, it seems to be related to Natalie Portman - Arlo wanted to find Natalie to play the role, but at that time she planned to go to Harvard to study, she had no such plan at all, so she declined Ah Luo, of course, this is a nice way of saying it. The most likely thing is that the script was passed before Natalie was in front of it.

So, anyway, the script is now in Ah Ro's hands.

Daniel knew that the director of the original movie was Darren Aronofsky, but since he had already selected David Fincher this time, it was impossible for him to direct. As for the producer or other roles, For an Oscar-winning director like Fincher, Arrow really has no ability to restrain him. In the Black Swan crew, it is obviously impossible for Arrow to gain a satisfactory influence.

Daniel finally asked Ferguson to contact him first to see if Arrow was interested in selling the script.

He himself needs to explain to Natalie and David Fincher.

Something went wrong with the script.

When Daniel chatted with Natalie, she was a little embarrassed. Natalie was very kind, and she handed over the script, and she quickly agreed to participate, and the asking price was very reasonable—this is a niche film after all. For literary films, even the asking price of Daniel's level will not match the commercial price, but Natalie gave a very affordable figure.

The right to adapt the script has been taken by another director, so now we have to do some preparatory work before we can start this project. Daniel has no intention of trying to explain why his original script has a twin brother Out there, so avoid the subject altogether. Don't you have any impression of this script? The new director named Darren Aronofsky seems to have wanted you to act in this story very early on.

Very early? Natalie seemed to be really ignorant, I really have no impression. How early is it? I can ask my mother, many scripts were screened out at her level gone.

It should be four years ago. When you were about to go to Harvard or just entered Harvard, of course, it doesn't matter if you don't remember, we will try our best to negotiate this issue.

...

It is not difficult to contact Aronofsky. Hollywood is indeed full of dreamers with unique personalities, but anyone who is trying to achieve success will probably find it difficult to refuse calls from some people—people with audiences, capital, and fame. People in power who have made it.

not to mention. There is no connection between the two.

The movie The Fountain of Cherish that Arrow is currently filming was originally his first major production, with an investment of 75 million. Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett co-star. This is among the hundreds of movies in Hollywood every year. It is already the wave that has attracted much attention. But unfortunately, due to some undisclosed reasons, Brad finally left the crew in breach of contract after signing the contract. Whether he has paid liquidated damages, Daniel does not know. But at least on the surface, Arrow didn't speak ill of Brad. then. The elf queen Blanchett had to withdraw regretfully during the long waiting time because of her pregnancy-so far, the original lineup has been completely lost. This forced Arrow to make changes to the script. Moreover, Warner's decision to shrink the budget also made him make a decision, which is to make The Source of Precious Love an independent film.

In any case, whether it is a mainstream commercial work or an independent film, when the male and female protagonists have chosen one after another, the most important thing is to re-select the two leading actors.

Daniel is certainly one of the best people - but not the best because he is too expensive, unless Daniel is willing to cut his salary, or 35 million - the same budget as The Hangover. More than half will be used to pay Daniel for the film. Even if Arrow is good at saving money, there is no way to make a decent movie.

besides. It was impossible for Daniel, who was on a long vacation last year, to take over such a work.

So, naturally. The Source of Precious Love passed Daniel, and finally went to Hugh Jackman, and the heroine locked on Rachel Weisz.

This fate is not enough to increase Daniel's confidence, but it is quite useful as an excuse to come to him.

Daniel didn't mean to go out in person.

The Hangover is about to be released, and MGM is about to get to the bottom of it. Although Black Swan is a good project, it's not worth it for him to do everything in person.

Before Ferguson finds Arrow, he meets the original author Hines first. The other party's enthusiastic performance made him sigh a little - if the script is still in the hands of Hines, everything will be easy to handle, unlike now, I don't know what the cutting-edge director thinks, he can suppress the script In my hand for five years, just to wait for Natalie, it really shows that this is a stubborn person.

...

The place where the two meet is very common, an unknown specialty coffee shop whose signature product is Vietnamese coffee.

It's too bad to drink, just like that thin Vietnamese lady boss, it makes people uncomfortable. This is what Ferguson said when describing the scene at that time.

Before meeting, the two had of course communicated.

As Ferguson expected, Arrow rejected DD Films' request to buy the script, and he gave two options: one is DD Films' investment, he will film, and must star Natalie Portman; One option is to share 10% of the proceeds with the script.

He's just crazy.

Aro began to explain the legitimacy of these two choices under Ferguson's shocked eyes. He has been preparing for this script for 5 years. Now that DD Films is going to invest, it is most suitable to choose him as the director. Although he still has a gap with some big directors, as the owner of the script, he should be given this opportunity. I have 12% confidence in myself. In fact, although his works are not many, the response is quite good. His director ability should not be doubted. And if DD Films really can't accept him as the director, it should give him considerable rights as compensation.

Ten percent, isn't that much, is it? You earn 10 million and I only get 1 million. I don't think Daniel should be so stingy. This script is now in my hands. If I don't agree, you will pay a penny. Can't make money, can't we?

Ferguson was hardly interested in talking to him.

This person's face is disgusting, and his greed is ridiculous.

Unless you really intend to give him 10%, I don't think it makes sense to look for him again. (To be continued)
