Chapter 276: Hit the head and go up to the wind
(Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"What? Disney wants to change its investment ratio, why is this happening?" Chen Tian was shocked when he heard the news.
Peck was also angry and said: "Because Disney's assessment agency's rating for "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been reduced, and due to the general optimism from the outside world, and there are many conflicts among Disney executives, some people disagree with investing in this drama in large quantities and propose to reduce investment ratios and reduce losses."
Chen Tiandu was silent for a moment and said, "Hasn't you signed a contract?"
On the other side, lawyer Donnie replied: "Contracts have a greater binding effect on jointly investing in movies. If one party is unwilling, it will be more cost-effective to delay work. But there are obviously some people in Disney who are more optimistic about "Pirates of the Caribbean", including Mr. Robert Eiger, CEO of Disney, who is focusing on introducing this film project. So they are unwilling to give up. Reconciliation and revision of the contract is the best way."
Chen Tian’s eyes were gloomy, “Are there any traces of caa inside?”
Donnie also lowered his voice and said, "There must be some, not to mention that Caa's former president O'Wots has been president for a year at Disney."
Chen Tian stopped saying anything and said, "Promise them. But you can get as much fruit as you work hard, and you must also strive for the later profit ratio. If Disney is unwilling to invest, we have the ability to make it. But if they are willing to issue it, then leave a way out for both parties."
...
Google's news of blocking caa is no longer new. No matter what reason it used to make arrangements and slander against Chen Tiandu, everything is no longer important now. Because Caa, as a Hollywood giant, is actually challenged by a small ** production company, and first of all, it is hard to get over the face. They want to make the matrix look great.
Previously, "Pirates of the Caribbean" temporarily escaped due to the 9/11 incident. After the rumor passed, the hot discussions came again. They were really like candy, sticking to it.
The latest news from the Los Angeles Times, "Disney withdraws investment from "Pirates of the Caribbean" and only serves as a co-distribution party. It is reported that Disney's internal management is not optimistic about the story of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and Disney's assessment agency also lowered the film's ratings a lot. In order to reduce company losses, Disney made such arrangements..."
This news is really a behind-the-scenes attack, which has not yet started filming, instantly caused the reputation disadvantage. The three of them talked about tigers. Then there is really a tiger. Let me ask, even Disney, the investor together, is not optimistic now, can the audience still have expectations?
The matter was settled, and Robert Eiger was very regretful. He called over, "There are some people in the company who were driven by interests and blinded. I am very sorry for this. I hope you can try your best to make this movie and give them a headache. This is my real idea. As for the release of the movie, you can rest assured that Disney still has to be shameless."
The crackdown will not stop, and the DreamWorks also heard bad news.
Steven Spielberg's next new film "Attack on Punishment" is officially confirmed to be co-starring Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio.

As soon as this news came out, the fans lamented that there were some, and cheered!
This is the most glorious year since Chen Tiandu debuted. He won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director Award at the beginning of the year, and won the annual box office championship so far with "Fast and Furious" in the middle of the year. With this box office, he successfully defeated Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, George Clooney and other big names, and won the first place in the star revenue list this year in advance. Even if "Eleven Arhat" has not been released yet, it will not be higher than him, because no one will think "Eleven Arhat" can reach the box office of "Speed".
But it was also a year when his career was frequently hindered and he suffered setbacks.
Looking at his experiences, it seemed that he had a smooth journey. There were giants like Warner and DreamWorks to block the wind and rain for him, but when he really started operating, external pressure immediately followed, and he had never experienced the setbacks in Hollywood.
So this time, can he get through the difficulties?
Many people wanted to interview him and ask him how he made a grudge with Caa and made trouble for himself, but Chen Tian ignored him. He was very clear about his current situation and it was unwise to talk to Caa because Caa had too much more "mouth" than him, and few people would talk to him.
Why not shut up? After the movie comes out, speak with facts.
It seemed like I was holding back my stubbornness, "The more I don't like me, the more I want you to see." Disney withdraws its investment, but the infrastructure projects in China did not weaken at all. The matrix immediately dumps the funds, and there will never be any delay.
Whenever he mentioned him on the newspaper, 80% of him were sarcastic and looked like he was watching the show.
"Mr. Christmas in China suffered a blow from the 'King of Hollywood' at the most proud moment in his life!" This sentence can basically summarize the content of many reports.
This is a typical example of a big tree attracting wind. Who told him to do this this year is so outstanding? But the matrix lacks the foundation, so if you don’t, you will be black. He can guarantee that if "Pirates of the Caribbean" is really terrible, he will be greeted by a larger "Black Sea". Maybe at that time, Caa was arrogant and extended an olive branch to him again.
He shook his head and threw the newspaper, "No, this kind of thing will never happen!"
He turned on his computer and was ready to start work to perform the first round of selection of roles in "Pirates of the Caribbean". Hollywood casting can provide a variety of ways to provide the role list he needs to the actors' union and agency companies and other institutions to give them some introductions.
Then, Chen Tian first looked at these materials, filtered out those who did not meet his requirements, and then handed over the remaining cast list to the institutions and agreed on a time to conduct a group audition.
Therefore, Hollywood actors basically have to go through three or more rounds of auditions.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" is different from "The Matrix". There are five main actors, Jack Sparrow, Wiltner, Elizabeth Swan, Barbosa, and Colonel Lonington. The starring roles are easy to find. However, the demand for supporting roles is extremely high. If the agency does not ask for help, it will increase the difficulty of casting and cause trouble for yourself.
His casting table sets the basic standards for casting. Pirates must have personality and be ugly and have a greater advantage. This caused a topic during the audition on the first day. He may not necessarily use the original actors. Because many of them are under-famous people, if they cannot find the prototype, they will also look for the right one.
Today, the company has received replies from the Actors Union and several institutions. They have sent all the information on members who meet the requirements and are interested in participating in the audition of the male and female protagonists of "Pirates of the Caribbean". As for the information on members who meet the other roles, it will take time to sort them out.
The first person to be identified was Colonel Lonington.
British actor Jack Davenport was born in a British stage play and later switched to a TV soap opera. The most familiar movies to international audiences are "The Genius Ripley". Jack Davenport's parents are both famous actors. Davenport once participated in summer drama courses after graduating from high school, and also studied British literature and film at the University of East England. He began to participate in some drama performances at the age of 18, but at first he did not plan to be a professional actor, and he was more keen on behind-the-scenes work behind the camera.
After a simple invitation to audition, Chen Tiandu decided on the spot because he admired Jack's London accent.
"Mr. Davenport, we are going to sign three drama contracts with you because "Pirates of the Caribbean" is not just one film. What do you think?" said Elena, the agent department. Because there is a conflict with Caa at the moment, in order to prevent the actor from being signed and demolished immediately after becoming popular, a contract with a lot of restrictions is essential.
Jack is just a little actor. How could he refuse such good things when he comes to the door? He smiled and said, "Wow, no problem. This way I can act in three movies, which is great."
As for the first mate of the Black Pearl, Elizabeth's father Governor Swan, the pirates, and the navy candidates are easy to find, and Los Angeles doesn't have to worry about the candidates. These characters appear few and do not need to explode. As long as special actors are enough, he left them to casting director Cowick to take charge.
It was the most important supporting role. Chen Tian was the investor, producer and director of "Pirates of the Caribbean". He had no doubt the power to hold. Who will play the role and the decision is in his hands.
The role was later confirmed, Jeffrey Rush, the actor who played "Barbosa".
As a respect for the Oscar winner, Chen Tiandu received him in the office. Jeffrey Rush won the Oscar for Best Actor in 1997 for the movie "Shining Style" and was also the first Australian to win this honor.
In 1998, Rush was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor for his wonderful performance in "Shapes Love History", in the Academy Awards, and the British Film and Television Arts Association Awards, and was awarded the British Film and Television Arts Association Awards for his role in "Elizabeth". In 2000, Geoffrey Rush won the double nomination for the 58th Golden Globe Awards in the American Film and Television Arts Awards and the 73rd Academy Awards.
On the road of performance, he has achieved great results. The most important thing is that he is not a caa artist.
When I first met him, I was not as crazy as I did in the movie. The biggest impression I gave Chen Tiandu was that he had a big red nose, which was an Australian "special product".
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jeffrey Rush, I can only let you play a supporting role." Chen Tian said apologetically: "Your acting skills are enough to match any starring actor."
"It's okay, I'm just an actor and not a big star. I'm not too picky about the protagonist," Rush explained.
Chen Tiandu smiled and said, "You are such a humble person. So, what do you understand the role of Barbosa?"
Rush thought for a while and said, "I think it's very interesting to play this pirate captain. A crazy and domineering pirate, insidious and cunning, and funny. The role of Barbosa is very exciting. Before coming, I've tried it at home several times, and I think it's very expressive. Do you need to see my performance?"
Chen Tiandu smiled and said, "Would you like? That's great. Let's try changing clothes."
