Chapter 2107 Worry

 "Let me read it and we will know what the plot is like!" Travolta picked up the script and continued to read.

It didn’t take long before I said “oh”.

Cage felt itchy in his heart, what did this guy see?

There must be something unexpected.

He was still waiting for Travolta to talk to him, but Travolta just kept reading.

Without saying a word, he stared at the script for an instant, just reading the script page by page.

Cage wondered in his heart, what on earth is going on, but you are silent.

When you look at it like this, you don’t have any expression. He doesn’t even know whether Travolta is satisfied or dissatisfied.

It took a full hour before Travolta finished turning the last page and let out a heavy breath.

"Cage, this is definitely a masterpiece that will make you stand up! Maybe the investment will not be as fierce as those science fiction and fantasy blockbusters, but the plot will definitely make up for it, and the beauty is at least five stars!"

Cage smiled and said: "Is that so? It's not easy to be recognized by you."

Travolta's fingers lightly danced on the table, "The plot mainly starts with the face swap, our faces are swapped, and our identities are swapped, resulting in a series of changes and conflicts! The excitement is absolutely top-notch, but..."

Cage's heart tightened when he heard this, "But what?"

Travolta said: "In the Xizhou area, the box office of gun fight movies has never reached the top. Over the years, gun fight movies have rarely been in the top ten box office!"

Not none, but very few.

Some say it’s a gunfight, but actually it’s not a gunfight movie if you break it down.

You're like "Mission: Impossible," which did well at the box office, but it's actually a spy movie.

And long-lived movies like "007" are considered spy movies.

For this type of movie, gunfights are the foundation, and the content is even more advanced. It can no longer be regarded as a simple gunfight movie.

The same is true for "Into Alcatraz" starring Cage, which cannot be regarded as a simple gunfight film.

But this movie is a very simple gunfight and gangster movie.

It's hard to say how well this kind of movie will do at the box office in Xizhou, especially when special effects have become so popular in recent years.

Nowadays, computer special effects production technology is becoming more and more mature. Many movie shots that were difficult to achieve back then can now be easily achieved as long as you spend money.

So now is an era when science fiction and fantasy films are very popular.

Various superhero movies came out of nowhere, with emotions and special effects, occupying more than half of the market.

The six-part series of "Middle-earth" is a milestone in fantasy movies. It constructs a huge and magical fantasy world, and the scenes of major races competing for hegemony make people excited.

Relatively speaking, this kind of gunfight movie between police and gangsters seems a bit small in structure and scene.

There is no high-tech scene, at most there are a few guns blasting around.

This type of movie has been around the longest and accounted for the largest proportion of movies decades ago. It can be said that everyone has seen enough of this type.

Cage was silent for a moment.

He comes from that era, and he became popular through this type of movies.

I know Travolta is right.

Travolta is also a vested interest in this kind of movie, and he is also a lonely person because this kind of movie is not popular now.

It’s just that he has money, but he doesn’t seem to care most of the time.

But who dares to say that he doesn’t have any regrets in his heart?

Cage clenched his fists and said after a while: "Try, I think we can try. Maybe it will be difficult for gunfight movies to become mainstream movies, but we can make ours a hit."

Make this one a hit.

That's all they can do.

Even if they are former kings, they cannot influence the changes in the general environment.

All we can do is make this movie popular.

Travolta said: "Maybe this movie may not have a box office of 500 million."

Gun fight movies are good to watch, but they really have no advantage at the box office.

In the past two decades, there have been so few gunfight films that have entered the top ten at the box office that you can count them on one hand.

Many of them cannot be considered gunfight films in the strict sense.

This pure gunfight movie...

Even if there are good reviews, it may not reach 500 million.

Cage knew what he meant, but he didn't care and said: "I hope the box office will be as high as possible, but it has nothing to do with my salary. I just hope the boss can make money."

"I can get 10 million now, plus dividends, so what else can I be dissatisfied with? Oh my God, this is my salary for making six movies last year!"

Cage's salary was still very high at first, even if he made bad movies.

But as his fame has declined, his remuneration has also dropped like a mountain.

From ten thousand, to ten thousand...,

The whole thing is a sudden plunge.

In the end, it fell to 2 million per unit, and it lasted for several years.

You must know that this salary is the salary that only fifth- and sixth-tier starlets get, those guys who have acted in some small productions but have not become very popular.

A little star who is not even familiar.

Even so, Cage's salary has dropped further since last year.

Even to 1.5 million.

This is almost unacceptable to a person with a very high starting point like Cage.

And he knows very well that if this continues, there is almost no possibility of paying back the remaining 50 million.

1.5 million last year, 1 million in two years...

In two years it won’t be about salary anymore, it means no one will hire you.

You will be eliminated from this circle.

Just like a caterer.

If the food you cook is not delicious, no one will come. In order to save costs, you have to use some not-so-good ingredients or even reduce the portions to maintain operations.

But if you reduce the cost and the quality decreases, customers will stop coming after eating it.

It will come again only if your brain is flooded.

The less you do it, the worse it will be.

The worse you do, the less likely you will come!

This formed a vicious cycle and eventually had to close down.

After Cage realized that he couldn't continue like this, he had to shamelessly go to Max.

He didn't expect to be kicked out by Max, but An Ran helped him.

And his current salary for this movie is almost five times more than before. Why is he dissatisfied?

"If the box office is not good, I would rather not get paid!"

Cage said with gratitude in his eyes.

Travolta patted him hard on the shoulder, "It seems that your boss Enron is really a good person, and you successfully convinced me!"

"You mean, are you willing to co-star with me?" Cage couldn't help but smile.

In fact, this doesn't surprise him at all. Enron's script will definitely be good, and Travolta will definitely be attracted to it after reading it.

Travolta said: "In this case, I will get 10 million, 5% of the share, just like you. After all, an old guy like me, if An Ran didn't think of it, I would never have the chance to play the leading role again!"

"At this point, I should thank him, and I'm not short of money!"

Cage rolled his eyes, what you said seemed a bit pretentious.
Chapter completed!
