Chapter 98 Before that (Eighth)

After signing the contract, the next step should be to choose the actors and the behind-the-scenes team to determine the shooting date!

"Dick, I need a long preparation time to delay this project for a while."

Chen Lin asked in a dilemma.

Li Xiaoping, who was beside her, also looked at him in surprise.

"Of course, no matter how smooth it goes, it will take at least 3 months."

Dick Cook thought Chen Lin was talking about normal process problems.

"I mean I want to make a low-cost drama first to practice my skills, mainly to get familiar with the workflow of Hollywood."

"Water?"

Li Xiaoping was stunned, and Dick Cook had similar expressions.

"This is a script, do you want to read it?"

“da11as        Buyers           c1ub?”

"The Dallas Buyer Club is a script adapted from the true story of Ron                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

"In 1988, Ron founded the Dallas Buyer Club with the help of others, imported and smuggled drugs that were not approved by Fda, and sold them to h1V infected people in the United States and around the world through underground networks. With the supervision of Fda and other relevant departments, obstructing and putting pressure on the Dallas Buyer Club, the business of the Dallas Buyer Club "thrives", attracted the attention of the society to AIDS, and allowed a large number of patients to receive due assistance under the conditions at that time. However, Ron himself was helpless and died on September 12, 1992. His famous saying: I am my own doctor!"

"I know this story, a very classic American hero. Why, the copyright is in your hands?"

Dick looked at him and felt a little moved.

How to say it, Hollywood has fallen into a serious script shortage since 10 years, and has rarely appeared in classic works in recent years.

Most of the people on the market are full of hero series.

Even those who are nominated for the Oscars are mediocre works.

This "Dallas Buyer Club" is a very good story no matter how you look at it.

"Yes, I bought the copyright of the original book three years ago. I originally planned to film this "Dallas Buyer Club" first, but I didn't expect Nolan to suddenly tell me that he wouldn't film "Interstellar". There was nothing I could do, so I had to come here in person."

Chen Lin felt a little ache.

The development of things is not as I imagined.

At the beginning, he was not ready to challenge a big production like "Interstellar". He just wanted to shoot a movie called "Dallas". At least he won the Oscar winner, and it would be enough to make a good name.

Now "Interstellar" has become its own project!

But he has never experienced Hollywood's working mode!

A large project worth $160 million cannot be messed up!

"We Disney can help produce this movie."

Dick Cook smiled and spoke with a sincere face.

"Are you sure? This is an R-rated movie!"

Chen Lin looked at Dick Cook with a bit of a joke.

As we all know, most of the movies produced by Disney are family-friendly series, and most of them are G-level, which is the mass level that can be viewed at all ages.

"You can let the touchstone walk!"

Dick Cook continued to suggest without any unpleasant expressions.

Family fun has always been a symbol of Disney movies, but it does not mean that they look down on R-level or pg-13 or above.

In fact, there are very simple reasons why Hollywood has rarely ever been filmed at PG-13 or above, because the higher the rating, the smaller the audience, so Warner Bros. has begun to go to extremes in recent years and has played the dark style.

But almost every of the six major companies has subsidiaries.

For example, Fox Searchlight, a subsidiary of 20th Century Fox, is responsible for investing in some small independent films - the so-called independent films are almost equal to R-level movies!

Disney is even more powerful. In addition to Disney Film and Television, Pixar Animation, Marvel, Lucas, and Touchstone are also under Disney.

Touchstone is the largest company under Disney. They have performed movies such as "Deadly Magic" and "The Real Man Donating the Sperm" and so on.

It would be perfect to have them take charge of The Dallas Buyer Club!

"Okay, then I'll take the script to find the person in charge."

Chen Lin was originally planning to find a small independent studio to cooperate with, but since the touchstone was willing to come forward, it would be easier.

At least you don't have to worry about the problem yourself.

...

It was a pleasant contact with the touchstone.

In half an hour, they decided to run this "Dallas Buyer Club".

On the one hand, "Dallas Buyer Club" is a work aimed at awards season, while Disney, including the touchstone, has gained little on the Oscar stage in recent years; on the other hand, the investment in "Dallas Buyer Club" cannot be much higher, at most, at least $10,000.

If you negotiate the investment issue, it really doesn’t work, Chen Lin can pay the money.

According to Chen Lin’s budget, 80,000 is almost the same - anyway, there are so many big names committed to Oscar winners in the past two years, so many people must be flocking to this script!

In order to cooperate with the role, an actor must be skinny and skin-to-bone-skinned for a male protagonist who has AIDS. To use a saying, use his life to act!

Isn’t such a performance worthy of praise in today’s era of heavy tastes?

In addition to the obvious physical torture, the actor's emotional transformation is also very exciting, from the beginning of various sways, then to the fear of facing death, to the joy of "overcoming" the disease, and the final sublimation.

To be honest, this character is set up for the best actor!

Absolute playkeeper!

The agreement was signed soon, and it was estimated that the computer should be launched in March and April. The reason for delaying until March and April is that Chen Lin has to wait for the Oscar to end.

He wants a big name to join this movie!

"Yingbao, you go back first. I'll talk to the actors here first and deal with some things by the way."

Seeing that "Strange Her" was about to start filming, but the heroine has not returned to China yet, it is a bit unreasonable.

Zhao Liying also wanted to return home quickly to prepare, but the situation in the United States has not been decided. Now that two projects have been confirmed, Ying Bao is relieved.

"Then I'll go back first, be careful here, I heard..."

Ying Bao nodded obediently and then said caringly.

"Who are you talking nonsense? I've been in Hollywood for 3 years and I haven't seen any scenes before!"
Chapter completed!
