Chapter 1024 Father of Alien
"Who do you think is more suitable for directing our movie among these three directors?" Chris asked. The pay for these directors is actually similar. He would rather spend the pay on hiring directors than hire actors at a high price.
New actors and unknown actors are more malleable, and the audience does not have a fixed image perception of them and will not feel incongruity.
A large-scale film naturally needs to be matched with stars, but sometimes good actors are not the most expensive actors in the world, but the most suitable actors.
The protagonist in "The Lord of the Rings" is the Hobbit Frodo, but roles such as Aragon and Gandalf are very eye-catching. If they are played well, they can even steal the protagonist's attention.
Zhang Chu looked at the quotes below the list and whispered: "I personally prefer Sir Ridley Scott. His style is enough to control the movie, and the $12 million pay is reasonable, and there is no price everywhere."
The pay of well-known commercial directors is generally around 5 million yuan. If it is an art film, the big directors will not receive too much pay to increase the cost.
Ridley Scott has very high directorial skills and status. Even the "Dynasty of Heaven" that failed that year finally succeeded in a small turnaround in the disc market. "Alien", "Black Runner", "The End of the Way", "Black Hawk Down" and "Martian Rescue" that went to grow potatoes a few years ago are all famous.
Zhang Chu is very optimistic about the director's strength, and even bad movies have advantages!
Many people's impression of him is on the Father of Alien, and his presence is not very strong. He is one of the rare directors whose works are more famous than their own.
As long as you are a movie lover, you should have watched or heard of the films he shot, but only a very small number of people can tell who the film director is.
The famous Ridley Scott only costs $12 million, but Zach Schneider dares to offer $10 million. Perhaps it was Warner Bros.'s big moves and stubbornness that created an illusion for the agency.
One of Zach Schneider's most acclaimed movies, "The Spartan 300 Warriors", has many critics say that it is borrowing from "Gladiator", and "Gladiator" happens to be a work by Ridley Scott.
"Gladiator" swept the awards season and box office rankings, with 11 Oscar nominations, and finally won the Best Actor and Best Picture, with a global box office of US$460 million, with both fame and fortune!
Now that Li Gui meets Li Kui, if it weren't for Universal Pictures, someone else thought that Zach Schneider was in his prime, I'm afraid Chris wouldn't want to bargain. The $10 million would have to be cut to at least 7 million.
"Actually, I'm the most optimistic about Ridley. He is very good at epic movies and is particularly good at genre films, which is why Oscars don't like him."
Chris accidentally told the truth. Ridley Scott nominated the Oscar for Best Director many times, but he has never stopped at the nomination stage.
Oscar doesn't like it, but the fans love him so much that they are crazy. If such a director comes to film "The Lord of the Rings", I believe the book fans will feel much more at ease.
If even Ridley can't adapt this movie, then there will be almost no other people in the whole Hollywood!
In fact, Zhang Chu never thought that the father of the alien would film "The Lord of the Rings". This was very different from his idea. Without knowing the director, his first reaction was to make "The Lord of the Rings" terrifying and bloody. In fact, this is a huge misunderstanding.
The three directors have agency companies behind them. At this time, not only do the directors need to work hard to let Universal Pictures see, but also the agency companies have to make efforts.
Zhang Chu took advantage of this waiting time to enter the Savior system. He planned to learn more about Ridley Scott in more detail to see if it is suitable!
The system has more areas, so it is natural to be rude when spending. In the off-site help function, Google is directly searching for information about Mr. Lei. But after seeing this, I found that he was really destined to be very destined!
Ridley Scott has indeed many good works. In Zhang Chu's original time and space, he was the director of "Hannibal" sequel to "Silence of the Lambs".
But there is nothing to do with this life, so Mr. Lei can't make a sequel either.
In addition to this, Ridley Scott really competed with Aragon, and he worked with all three Aragons.
For example, Lei Lao started making movies at the age of 40. Robert Stephens, the actor in his first work "Duitman", once played Aragon in the BBC Radio radio broadcast.
John Hurt, who had a wonderful performance in his famous work "Alien", once played Aragon in a stage play.
The most popular Aragon is definitely the actor Vigo Mortham in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. This actor once starred in "Ambition with Me", and it is also a work directed by Ridley Scott.
I really have a relationship with Aragon. If this is not considered love, what else is it?
After Zhang Chu saw the news on Wikipedia, he laughed. Could it be that God decided to let Mr. Lei, who is over 80 years old, make this movie?
There are many active old directors in Hollywood, such as Mclint Eastwood, who is 7 years older than Mr. Ray. The films like "Red Dead Redemption" were famous for their film history. Now they are close to 90 years old, and the director and acting are still both good at both.
Your uncle is your uncle after all, and he is not affected by his age at all!
Of course, the achievements of the past are only the past after all, and people cannot always lie on the credit book of the past.
If Ridley Scott's shooting plan and design cannot achieve the ideal effect, then Zhang Chu still cannot hand over "The Lord of the Rings" to him.
What this series of movies requires is not excellence, but excellence!
"Hey, do you need a glass?" Chris took out a bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet and liked to drink it if he had nothing to do.
At this time, Zhang Chu was in the savior system. On the surface, he seemed to be leaning against the sofa and resting with his eyes closed, and he didn't hear Chris' words at all.
Chris thought that Zhang Chu fell asleep directly when he was tired from traveling, so he didn't speak anymore, intending to let the young man take a rest for a while.
From winning the adaptation rights of the Lord of the Rings series to now, Universal Pictures has been inspecting it for nearly three months. This time is actually nothing for the preparation of the film. Many of them may take several years or even more than ten years from selling the adaptation rights to being actually made into a movie!
