Chapter 410 The script tailored for Duke
Jessica Alba seemed to have a hard time hiding her lips, but she said nothing. ◎,
The crew is about to enter the screening room. This is a good time to show the deep love of sisters. Michelle Rodriguez pulled her into the corner and asked with great concern, "Jesse, it's not good to go in such a state."
With the help of Michel Rodriguez's strong body, Jessica Alba could no longer hold it back. She reached into the high slit of the dress with one hand and twitched it a few times. The sweet face showed a relaxed and enjoyable look, as if the problem that troubled her was greatly alleviated.
Michelle Rodriguez's eyes immediately lit up. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that Jessica Alba would not be so stupid that she comforted herself here, not to mention that the other party likes to play crazy and has never lacked male companions.
"It won't be..."
Originally from a chaotic Latin community, Mitchell Rodriguez had seen similar situations in other women, and immediately had speculation in his mind.
Then another idea came to my mind. If the guess was true, wouldn’t it be a good opportunity to squeeze out Jessica and Alba to take over?
However, Michelle Rodriguez doesn't want to take too much risk. After all, the other party is someone introduced by James Cameron.
She thought for a moment and asked with concern, "Jesse, are you feeling uncomfortable below?"
Jessica Alba was about to shake her head, but when she thought of Michelle Rodriguez's care for her, she nodded slowly, "I don't know what's going on..."
"Jesse, women's problems cannot be ignored." Michelle Rodriguez immediately persuaded, "It's better to go to the gynecology department to take a look."
"That..." Jessica Alba hesitated.
Michelle Rodriguez smiled comfortingly, "I have encountered similar problems, and it is easy to solve them when I go to Desinai Medical Center."
The two of them were getting lower and lower, and Jessica Alba kept nodding in the words of Michelle Rodriguez.
Finally, the two walked into the screening hall like the best sisters, and "Fast and Furious" was released.
During the screening, Michelle Rodriguez found a reason to walk out, went up to a lounge on the second floor, took out his cell phone from his bag, and dialed a number.
"Amir, do you want exciting news? You can stay at Desinai Medical Center these days..."
After hanging up the phone, Michelle Rodriguez couldn't help but smile.
At the end of the premiere, Jessica Alba became the focus of media attention with her outstanding vase performance in the film. At the subsequent press conference, she was constantly asked by reporters, and this was not comparable to the TV series she starred in. She began to taste the taste of becoming famous and even saw the hope of becoming a big hit in the future.
Although there was a party later, Jessica still went home obediently. Although she liked to play, she knew that her producer boyfriend was more important.
"Hi, my dear, I'm back."
As soon as she walked into the apartment, she saw Christopher Rokencourt who was on the phone. She immediately gave her a sweet kiss, "Do you miss me?"
Christopher Rokencourt replied to the actual action...
Although there was another itch below. Jessica Alba did not reject Christopher Rokencourt.
After the sun rose, another weekend kicked off, and Duke also returned to Los Angeles. He originally planned to stay in New York for a longer time to meet his mother who had returned from Europe, but his mother suddenly changed her itinerary and flew directly from Paris to Dubai, and would not come back in a short period of time, so he left New York early.
When he arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, it was already Friday afternoon. He had just rested at Duke Manor. Nancy Josephson came to the door.
"I have an invitation here," Nancy came to the door so anxiously. There must be something important, "You'd better see it yourself."
What she handed to Duke was a detailed plan, and even an appendix to a script.
"Napoleon the Great?"
Although the project is unfamiliar, Duke doesn't feel strange. After all, there are too many Hollywood movies he doesn't know about, but when he sees the production cost budget inside, he can't help but frown.
The initial production cost is planned to be $160 million!
Have you ever had such a movie? Duke frowned and thought for a while, but he had no impression.
However, Duke knew that he could not know and remember everything in Hollywood, so he patiently read the plan and the scripts that followed.
The plan is very detailed, and it is obvious that it is the work of a first-class producer in the industry. Even various difficulties in shooting outdoor scenes in France were taken into account and even preliminary solutions were proposed. Even directors like Duke, who have formulated several giant project plans, could not find too many problems.
This is a perfect project plan.
The script behind is more than 200 pages, but after Duke read it, he nodded unconsciously. The script did not select the magnificent life of Emperor Napoleon, but only intercepted the last clip of his emperor's career. It centered on the Battle of Waterloo, and was filled with various conspiracies and war scenes, which was very in line with his appetite and style.
To put it simply, this is not a biographical script, but a typical commercial blockbuster script.
In Hollywood, the value of the script is not high. The key is to cooperate with the script's plan, which greatly improves the value of the script.
Also, this script and previous plan were made for him!
He had a feeling that the person who made plans and scripts seemed to consider asking him to be the director before he started writing, and everything was formulated to target his style and appetite.
Every director has his own style, including James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, and Duke is no exception. The person who developed this project has obviously studied him in-depth.
That's all the plans made by Charles Rowan and Robin Grande.
The more I looked at Duke, the more I felt moved. If Napoleon was not a Frenchman, he had already asked Nancy to contact the other party first...
But he was a relatively calm person after all. He closed the crew, thought for a while, and then spoke slowly when his emotions returned to normal and he was sure that it would not affect his business judgment.
"Who sent it?" he asked.
"A producer from France." Nancy Josephson knew that Duke was not interested in European films and European filmmakers, and immediately explained, "Although he is a Frenchman, he has actually been in Hollywood for ten years. He has been in Hollywood with many big-name movie stars and producers. It is said that he has invested in some small productions and can be regarded as a member of Hollywood."
"If I want to get this script, what are his conditions?" Duke knew very well that there was no free lunch in the world.
"First of all, he asked for joint venture shooting, and his side would account for at least 40% of the investment and income share ratio..."
After hearing what Nancy said, Duke nodded. This is a very normal condition. If the other party does not speak up, but instead gives the entire project at a low price, then he will definitely consider whether there is any conspiracy behind it.
"Secondly, he must be a producer, at least one of the most powerful people in the crew."
“Is there any more?”
These are Hollywood conventions, far from exceeding Duke's bottom line.
"Yes." Nancy took the coffee cup filled with housekeeper Emma, thanked him, and said, "As a Frenchman, he hopes that the film can be filmed on the spot in France and Belgium! The other party also knows that your "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has not been completed yet, so he can wait until "Return of the King" before officially starting filming, but he wants to adopt the "Lord of the Rings" and "The Matrix" style mode and try to start the preliminary preparations as early as possible."
"This condition is not too much."
The shooting of epic war films is quite cumbersome, especially those with real historical figures. Taking more than a year to prepare is the safest way.
"That's all for the time being, and the specific situation needs to be discussed slowly in the negotiations."
The other party first depends on whether Duke has an intention. If he has an intention, then the subsequent negotiations will be discussed in detail in every paragraph and every article.
Putting the plan and script brief gram on the coffee table, Duke hugged his chest with one hand and rubbed his chin with the other, thinking carefully about the feasibility.
The other party's first condition was a little bit loud, but it just rightly did not touch his penalty area. The latter two conditions were completely Hollywood's practice, and this plan was extremely executable no matter how you look at it.
Napoleon the Great was a Frenchman, and this was the place where Duke was most concerned about.
The protagonist of the film is a Frenchman and an American. The treatment he enjoys in North America is completely different. Although the profits of overseas markets are getting higher and higher, the North American market is the cornerstone of Hollywood, and it is impossible for him not to pay attention to the North American market.
Fortunately, Napoleon was so famous that there shouldn't be too many Americans.
"Nancy, what do you think?"
After all, this is a project without any memory. Duke hesitated and couldn't help but ask his agent.
I also have a special review department to help its actors and directors select scripts to find works that suit them. Nancy obviously made sufficient preparations before coming. "I have done two weeks of preliminary review and investigation. This script is placed in the hands of other directors, at most a, but in your hands, the market prospect is a+!"
Nancy's opinion is similar, and this project is simply tailor-made for Duke.
After saying that, Nancy shut her mouth. She knew very well how to get along with the biggest customer under her name. She never made any decisions for Duke over the years after removing the appropriate advice.
With his right finger bent, Duke gently pressed the armrest of the sofa, and his eyes were placed on the plan and script again.
Suddenly, he thought of a question he had overlooked. From the beginning, he was attracted by the plan and script, and even forgot to ask Nancy who the producer was.
Chapter completed!
