The battery car sent the two to the gate of the studio all the time. Just after walking out of the studio, Charlize Theron could not wait to ask: "Michelle, is there a result?"
Michelle Simmons nodded: "Let's talk in the car."
After seeing the action of Michelle Simmons, Charlize Theron finally settled down. After a while of excitement, what followed was a faint loss. For this meeting, she prepared for so long and owed manager a big debt I didn't expect that during the whole process, Eric Williams just told her some polite words with little nutrition, and she didn't even look too much at her.
People ’s minds are always like this. Although the Charlize Theron apparently obeyed the arrangement of manager, privately it still has some small calculations of its own. However, these careful machines did not even have any chance to implement during the whole meeting.
The two got into the car, and Michelle Simmons was thinking about her own affairs. Until the car drove out Santa Monica, she realized that Charlize Theron had not spoken for a while.
"Are you a bit lost?" Michelle Simmons glanced at the Charlize Theron on the co-pilot.
Charlize Theron subconsciously wanted to deny, but nodded slightly when he saw manager smiling.
"I just did n’t make it clear, this is the case," organized the language and said Michelle Simmons: "Mr. Williams said he has seen your performance in the" Buffy "audition and it ’s not bad, so you have successfully got the role Yes, but there are three Heroines in that movie, you are just one of them. "
Charlize Theron showed a joyful expression towards manager, but Michelle Simmons still saw the loss of the girl beside him, explaining: "This is an absolute film centered on Heroine, and the investment scale is equivalent to" Mr. & Mrs. Smith ". And Eric Williams personally dominates, so you should be fortunate that if you ’re publicly recruiting Heroine in this film, it will be enough to make the entire Hollywood school-age actress crazy. That way. You wo n’t have any chance. /
"Then ..." Charlize Theron thought for a while and asked: "From today's perspective, since ... since he is not interested in me, why can I still get this role?"
"Who knows, it may be that you met it at the right moment." Michelle Simmons also thought of this problem at this time. Although there are some doubts, it has no deep meaning. It is estimated that no one knows why except Eric Williams himself. As for what the other party thought, she had no intention of asking in person.
As I was saying, Michelle Simmons saw a large Blockbuster video rental store on the roadside, stopped the car on the roadside, and walked in with Charlize Theron.
After searching for a while, Michelle Simmons found a complete set of "Charlie's Angels" TV series videotapes. She did not choose to rent, but bought it directly. Although I saw this TV series, it was more than a decade ago. Since I took over the task of selecting Heroine, Michelle Simmons intends to take a good look at TV series and do some work carefully.
Charlize Theron saw the figures of three hot girls on the video tape box and realized that she might be acting in this movie version of TV series. "Charlie's Angels" is the TV series broadcast in 1976. At that time, Charlize Theron was just born and lived in a small farm in South Africa. It is impossible to get in touch with it.
The two returned to the car with bags full of videotapes. Michelle Simmons drove the car and continued the original topic: "Anyway, you are getting this character now, so there is no need to investigate why you got it. After all. There is nothing else in your body that you can covet. If Eric Williams has nothing for you As you can see, there is no need to make such a circle, so just do what you should do. "
The Charlize Theron holds a video cassette in his hand and looks at the text introduction on the back of the video cassette and hears manager say so. Tao: "Then what shall I do next?"
Michelle Simmons thought for a while and said, "I remember you don't seem to have a driver's license yet? In the past two months, you first learned to drive and take down your driver's license. This is an action movie and you must be exposed to the driving scene And I also need to leave Los Angeles for a period of time. Two months later, your schedule will be scheduled by Film Studio. Williams said that you will be trained for three months. "Having said that, Michelle Simmons is still the original word of Eric To add it again: "He said that the three months of training will be very hard and strict. If you can't eat hard, it is best to quit in advance."
Charlize Theron is of course impossible to quit, but she caught the other meaning in manager's words: "You just said" we "?"
Michelle Simmons did n’t expect Charlize Theron to be so sensitive and said: "Yes, you, besides you, I have to find two other girls. According to the requirements of Williams, I need to go to Europe. If it goes well, it should be fast. , The longest will not exceed two months, this is the period he gave. "
"Then what should I do?" Charlize Theron has not had time to think about the emergence of two other competitors in the future. If manager leaves, she will definitely not be able to stay in the mansion of Kapoor Sid in Beverly Hills, and the money in her card It is simply not enough to live in Los Angeles for two months.
Michelle Simmons also understands the meaning of Charlize Theron, saying: "I will arrange it for you. The required cost will be deducted from your pay in the future. Before leaving, I will sign your contract with Firefly. In this way, even if you have a formal film appointment. "
From the signing of Michelle Simmons last fall to the present, Charlize Theron is still the first time to hear the word payroll associated with herself. This time she was really excited in her heart: "Michelle, what is my paycheck?"
Michelle Simmons tapped his finger on the steering wheel for a moment and said, "This big production movie, even for newcomers, should not have too little pay, but the actress's pay is often a bit lower than that of the actor, What's more, "Charlie's Angels" has three Heroines, so I still need to get in touch with the specific film reward before I know, I guess your film reward should be between 100,000 and 200,000, of course, if the film will sell in the future. The film party will definitely give some additional rewards. "
One more thing, Michelle Simmons did not say that among the three Heroines in the plan, Charlize Theron should have the lowest pay, while the other two Heroine intend to launch the actresses who have emerged in Europe. So in time, they did not have much influence in North America, and the pay was correspondingly higher.
Although this number is far from superstar, which is often seen on magazine, the Charlize Theron is still very satisfied. At least this is a good start. She is not a good person. Moreover, the money should also be enough for her for a long time without having to worry about trivial things like livelihood, and can concentrate on preparing for the movie.
A few days later, Michelle Simmons signed a contract for 《Charlie's Angels》 on behalf of Charlize Theron and Firefly. Although the unfamiliar Production Studio of Flower Films made her and Charlize Theron a little puzzled, the 200,000 USD remuneration still surprised both of them. This number Although it is nothing compared to the production cost destined to exceed 50 million USD, it is the best situation in Michelle's estimation, but perhaps because of the relatively "good" pay. There is also an option contract attached to the contract. After Charlize Theron starred in 《Charlie's Angels》 first part, he must star in two sequels within the next five years.
......
In early March, after the last period of intensive work, Eric successfully completed all the later work of "Jurassic Park".
After watching the film, Eric is also full of confidence in the Box Office prospect of this movie. Compared to the version in memory, in addition to the same ups and downs of the plot, this version of "Jurassic Park" is more effective than original in terms of special effects. Be outstanding, after all. The film in the original space-time is the work of Spielberg after the loss of "Hook". Although it was a great success in the end, Film Studio did not have 100% confidence in the production process. Therefore, the budget is relatively tight, and many details cannot be perfected. However, this version produced by Eric burned 75 million USD only within the budget of the project. With the idea of being a good tool to do the best, in order to provide special technical support for this series, the digital field has been in progress since its inception. Corresponding technology research and development, this process also spent a lot of money.
After the completion of "Jurassic Park". The marketing plan around this movie started quickly. One week later, Firefly released the first poster of "Jurassic Park", and the theme store under Disney also began to lay out the surrounding products of "Jurassic Park". With Disney under the North America and Hundreds of peripheral shops of Europe, as long as the film has achieved the expected success, Firefly Pictures will be profitable by selling peripheral products in the shortest time.
There are three films "Jurassic Park", "Deep Impact" and "A Bug's Life" released in the Firefly summer file. Eric is very aware of the power of Box Office in "Jurassic Park". In order not to affect the Box Office of the next two films, Eric will "Jurassic Park" The schedule is scheduled for June 4th, followed by June 25th with a three-week interval, and "A Bug's Life", which is completely different from the type of "Jurassic Park", was released again, and "Deep Impact", which belongs to the special effects theme, was placed in July. On the 2nd, although the Box Office Yu Wei of "Jurassic Park" is still in this time period, it will not have much impact on "Deep Impact".
The films released by Firefly in recent years have become the focus of attention of other Film Studios. Many people discovered the unusualities after the announcement of the Firefly schedule.
Firefly's previous release schedule in the popular period has been to launch different films at two-week intervals.
But if you don't consider "A Bug's Life", the 3D Animation film released by Disney of Firefly, the two films launched by Firefly in the summer this year, the release interval is exactly one month. People with keen senses almost quickly realized that Firefly is definitely not optimistic about "Jurassic Park". Last year's "Twister" global was nearly 700 million. USD's Box Office still makes many people in Hollywood remember it, and Firefly's "Jurassic Park" The degree of attention obviously exceeds "Twister".
Due to various considerations, some of the second and third line Film Studio with more flexible operating mechanisms chose to postpone the summer film in order to avoid the edge of "Jurassic Park". For the big Film Studio, Michael Eisner is also under the pressure of Universal. Forcibly extended "The Fugitive", which was originally scheduled to be released at the end of June, to mid-July, and swapped it with a medium-cost romance film of the same period.
Although many people publicly accuse Michael Eisner of being too cautious, Michael Eisner insists on not explaining too much to others. But Eric, who heard the news, was a little bit impressed by the courage of Michael Eisner. If Michael Eisner insisted on the original schedule of "The Fugitive" because of fear of losing face, there would be a good show.
Some people take the initiative to retreat, of course, some people do not believe in evil. There are even two movies with the idea of "crushing" "Jurassic Park". These two films are "Cliffhanger" starring Stallone and the new film "Last Action Hero" of Schwarzenegger. Both films are made by German-funded Carlock Produced by Film Industry, one was scheduled one week before "Jurassic Park" and one was released one week after "Jurassic Park" was released.
Eric has noticed these two big flicks for a long time, so the production department has temporarily put aside the talks with Arnold Schwarzenegger on "True Lies". Unexpectedly, these two movies still hit the gun of "Jurassic Park" so resolutely.
After completing the latter part of "Jurassic Park", Eric has not been able to relax at all, and a series of cumbersome and complicated things need him to deal with in person.
Under the recommendation of David Geffen, the actor in "Interview with the Vampire" is finally determined to be Tom Cruise, and the second actor is sent. Kingsley is taken by an Australian Actor, and there is no Jack. Slater in Eric's memory. The information of the male Actor is estimated to be the result of the butterfly effect. In terms of Actor, the only thing that Eric intervened was to rediscover the Kirsten Dunst, which is said to have a 35-year-old soul. The little girl was just eleven years old at this time, but the audition effect satisfied the main creators including Director Neil Jordan. (To be continued.)
