49 Chapter 49 - Booting
She didn't understand that the little boss wanted a big wrestling guy to sign an performing arts contract, especially to give the other party such good terms, which was simply a treatment for a little star. Perhaps that person does have a great reputation in the wrestling world, but this is Hollywood. Can he break the box office no matter how well he wrestles? They are not making action movies.
A big wrestler, a street gangster... what kind of person will be next?
Louise felt that she really couldn't understand the boss's ideas, and she couldn't be optimistic about the so-called brokerage department in her heart.
The new round of auditions officially kicked off as the film was about to start shooting. Compared with the last time, the second film of the talented director who rose up miraculously attracted more attention.
There is no doubt that Tobin plays the jigsaw in Laila's arrangement. Charlize Theron, the girl who made a good impression on her, will also play the only role in the movie, Amanda, after the schedule is arranged. In addition, Roy will also play the second male role in the movie, a tragic character Adam who lost his life from the beginning, but did not look at the jigsaw back and screamed in despair until the end.
Apart from the male lead and two policemen, the remaining actors needed are a pair of mother and daughter and some less important roles.
Those Laila didn't want to intervene. The actors that Louise helped her recruit last time made her very satisfied, so this time she took things for granted.
For Laila, small-cost movies like hers actually don't need big-name actors. Because if you hire a big star, you can't just let your family be a casual role, can you? It will definitely be the protagonist.
The audience also knows this, so when you see a big star come out, you will guess some of the plot developments below, which is not a good thing for the director and the movie, and the sense of suspense is destroyed.
The new actor is so good that he doesn't have a familiar face, and he doesn't need too much pay. Once he becomes popular, the director himself will have a considerable sense of accomplishment.
The audition went well this time. The number of participants was twice as high as the last time. It also gave Louise the opportunity to choose more. In the end, Laila had to chose from thousands of actor candidates.
Laila looked through the profiles one by one, but did not see a face that was too familiar. But when I saw the actor's candidate, I was taken aback.
"Why did he come?"
Louise knew that she would ask if she met, and smiled and told her what she had learned "Mr. Fassbender very much hopes to participate in the shooting of your new movie. He thinks It's a pleasure to work with you in the Blair witch."
"That's it." Whether it's flattery or not, Laila still feels very happy. "I remember that all three actors of the Blair witch have received a lot of new invitations?"
"Yes, Cate has already taken the contract for "Road to Heaven". Mr Bradley participated in a TV series. Mr Fassbender has also received the scripts of several movies, but he is not very interested in watching those movies. So he came to audition when he knew you were going to make a new movie."
Laila nodded clearly. In her previous life, Fassbinder's star road was not smooth, and he did not participate in the filming until the TV series Brothers 2000. Now being able to get the script invitation must be a benefit to the witch Blair's strong gold-absorbing ability.
But just a movie can't make him famous in the first battle, otherwise he would not have spent more than ten years still one step away from the Oscar statuette. Strictly speaking, the Blair witch is not a particularly outstanding movie, and it is destined to not receive more attention due to its limited subject matter.
In the same way, the three people who played the leading roles in the movie at most have the title of more than 200 million box office leading actors, and they are not qualified to win a better movie script.
Fassbender did not take a look at the script handed him and continued to seek cooperation with Laila, which undoubtedly showed that he was a very wise man.
Rather than making those second-rate and third-rate movies, it is better to fight again and continue to work with Laila. What if a movie becomes popular again?
Of course, this choice also carried a great danger. After all, under Cooper's desperate slander, there were already countless people in the outside world who did not look good at Laila's second movie. At the age of eighteen, not many people would think that she could perform miracles again.
But anyway, Fassbender was willing to gamble that that was enough to satisfy Laila.
"It's him, sign it."
"Okay. How much is the pay?" Louise asked again.
She signed him for $10,000, and that was the price of the newcomer. This time he is already the leading actor in a blockbuster movie, and the price is definitely higher.
"It's up to you." The Americans make a clear distinction between friendship and business. No matter how good the relationship is, business is business, and how much should be given. This is something that Laila thinks is worth learning.
As for the other actors, she also agreed to Louise's choice one by one. If these people find a suitable candidate, she doesn't mind asking her agency to sign a few more actors.
After half a month, all the ready-made movies were officially launched in an abandoned factory.
After receiving the commission from Laila, Louise asked people to look around for a place that suits her wishes, and finally found such an abandoned factory in the suburbs of Los Angeles.
After seeing it, Laila immediately decided to buy it, not for anything else, just because this site will be formally developed in the future, and its value will double. At that time, even if the theme park plan fails, it will be described as an inch of gold after more than ten years. It is definitely a profitable business.
The transformation of the factory is handled by Gaby. He has the storyboard script in his hand and knows what environment she needs to shoot. Even though he was the youngest in the props group, he was not much worse than his dad when he did things. It didn't take much time to set up the scenes one by one.
The movie's budget is set at 2 million dollars, which is $500,000 more than in the previous life. The main reason is that Laila's perfectionism has reappeared, and we must strive for perfection and perfection everywhere. It's also fortunate that this is a low-cost horror film that she made. If it is handed over to her to make a big production, it may not be much better than the money-burning director Cameron.
With Laila's "action", the film that was destined to become a classic horror film in film history finally started shooting. At the same time, the outside world also officially broke through 300 million in the global box office of the Blair witch, which made her filming attract more attention.
Not surprisingly, when the witch broke through 300 million box office, Cooper's comments were once again published in the News of the World.
They don't know if the word "300 million" pokes his eyes and the ugly heart blinded by hatred. This time his words are extremely excited, as if he is condemning a sinner who is about to bring the world to the end.
