Next, Wang Quan looked at several actor profiles, most of which were unfamiliar faces. After all, Wang Quan's requirement was for actresses between 15 and 18 years old, who stood out as being young, and whose image contrasted with pregnancy.

After all, Caucasian girls lose their girlishness when they are a little older. He even considered 14-year-old Wang Keying, but mixed-race Chinese and American girls will undoubtedly make it more difficult to win the prize.

Wang Quan looked at it and asked, "Why is there no Ellen Page?"

She had an outstanding performance in "Fruit Candy" last year and has already made her debut in Hollywood. This month, "X-Men: The Last Stand" in which she starred will be released.

Dorothy, "But she is already 19 years old, too old."

Wang Quan, "But she is very small and looks young. Plus, we can meet her during the audition."

Just like Kristen Stewart was Bella's first choice in "Twilight", Ellen Page was also Juno's first choice in Thrones.

It's just that the script is quite different from the original version. In addition, Wang Quan wears colored glasses towards her, and it is easy to regard her as a brother, so whether she is still the most suitable candidate needs to be seen before we can make a conclusion.

Dorothy followed the advice and added the name, while rolling her eyes, "Since 19-year-old Ellen Page can do it, do you think 20-year-old Lindsay Lohan can do it?"

Wang Quan thought that this guy wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to rekindle his old relationship, but looking at her cunning eyes, he knew that he was wrong. Damn, even his ex-girlfriend took advantage of him. What a scumbag, I like it!

"Add it," Wang Quan then said, "Why isn't there Emma Watson?"

Dorothy, "Brother, you really dare to choose any coffee. Can you afford Hermione?"

Wang Quan, "This is a literary film. According to the rules of the industry, she has to perform at a reduced salary. If her salary does not exceed 1 million, I can consider using her."

After all, Emma, ​​who has acted in four Harry Potter films, is probably the most well-known post-90s girl on the planet. Her box office and influence are an excellent boost, and her acting skills are also good. At the age of sixteen, she also fits the image.

own requirements.

Dorothy thought for a while, "I can send her an audition invitation, and if she refuses, I will tell the whole world about it."

Wang Quan nodded. What Boss Tao stands out for is that he is willing to take advantage of others. He will take advantage of conditions and create conditions without conditions. It is estimated that the name of "Juno" will spread throughout the industry soon.

"Oh, one more thing," Dorothy took out two invitations, "j.j. has invited us to the North American premiere of Mission: Impossible 3."

On May 5, "Mission: Impossible 3" will be officially released in North America, with the premiere on the 4th.

Wang Quan asked, "Can I bring a female companion?"

Dorothy said sourly, of course, and then Wang Quan contacted Gadot.

On the 4th, Wang Quan and Gadot, who was wearing a Chanel haute couture dress, appeared at the Gruulmann Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. The tall Gadot instantly became a sight.

Thanks to Anne Davis for borrowing this outfit from the brand. Otherwise, Gadot would have to buy her own clothes to attend the event. She still needs to make herself famous as soon as possible, otherwise she can only rely on her agent's face.<

/p>

In the press area, Wang Quan met Li Xiulian, the Sina reporter who originally interviewed him. Wang Quan greeted her enthusiastically, "Hi, crystal."

Li Xiulian was very excited. She didn’t expect that Director Wang would still remember her English name.

She seized the opportunity and asked, "Did Tom Cruise invite you to the premiere?"

Wang Quan shook his head. There was no need to take advantage of the popularity. He was really not familiar with them. "It was invited by the director J.J. Abrams. He bought my first movie."

"Oh, that's it, why did you choose Miss Gadot to be your female companion this time?"

"Because I can't find a more beautiful girl than her." Wang Quan's words made Gadot smile even brighter, and she could unlock new cheese for him at night.

Li Xiulian thought she could make a fuss about it, and the title could be like "Wang Quan and Lindsay Lohan failed to get together, just because of this woman!"

A reporter also asked Wang Quan what he thought of "Mission: Impossible 3". I haven't watched it yet. "Of course I am looking forward to it. I heard that this movie has a lot of scenes in my country. I hope it can alleviate my anxiety."

Homesickness."

Gadot: Why are you feeling homesick? Didn’t you just come back?

Wang Quan was not the protagonist, so he passed by in a hurry on the red carpet. Behind him on the red carpet was Maggieq, one of the main female characters in this movie. She also has a Chinese name called Li Meiqi.

But in fact, she is not Chinese. Her mother is from Yuejie, and her father is from the United States. She is of French and French descent. She worked as a model in Neon in her early years, and later developed her career in a detour, and eventually became famous for beating girls in Xiangjiang.

She was also in "Rush Hour 2", but it was "The Naked Agent" that impressed Wang Quan the most.

Next up was Philip Seymour Hoffman, the man who just won the Oscar for Best Actor in March. He plays the villain, which can be regarded as one of the film's promotional points.

Wang Quan and Gadot took their seats early, and did not see Tom Cruise entering with his fiancée Katie Holmes, who had just given birth to a daughter, but they did hear the roaring cheers.

He is worthy of being the world’s number one idol superstar.

Dorothy came earlier than them, and she was right next to Wang Quan. "I said hello to J.J. when I came over. He didn't seem to be in a good mood."

"Why, you should be happy that the blockbuster film directed by him is about to be released."

Dorothy shook her head, "However, the results of "Disc 3" were not ideal. You must know that the cost of this movie was 150 million, making it the most expensive debut film in history."

Although Director J is well-known, he is mainly famous for being a TV drama director and producer. The film director is indeed the first time a young girl has stepped into a sedan chair.

Gadot was puzzled, "Isn't the movie not released yet?"

Dorothy held Gadot's little hand across the royal court, "Sister, you don't know, "Disc 3" has already been released in several countries such as Yingguo, and the data is far inferior to the previous one six years ago.

”

The last one was directed by John Wu, which grossed 210 million US dollars in North America and 546 million US dollars globally, and topped the global box office in 2000. It was the pinnacle of Wu Yusen's life, allowing him to successfully win the Walk of Fame.

He retained his star, but it was also the starting point of his decline.

Wang Quan shook off Dorothy's hand and touched Gadot's little hand. Regarding Dorothy's statement, he also agreed that the film's performance was indeed not very good. According to data in the film and television library, it was the lowest in the series.

Wang Quan looked at Dorothy and said strangely, "Why do I feel like you are gloating about your misfortune?"

Dorothy, "Have I?"

Gadot, "You seemed to be smiling just now."

Dorothy smiled and stopped hiding it, "If this movie fails, then J.J. will definitely be more interested in "10 Cloverfield Lane". He is the producer of our movie and he also made the final decision.

He bought it at a sky-high price. If the movie is successful, he can also regain some goodwill from Brad Gray (Paramount CEO)."

After hearing what she said, Wang Quan also smiled, "Yes!"

At this time, Tom Cruise came outside with his fiancée, who had gained some weight due to childbirth.

Wang Quan whispered to Dorothy, "It seems that Tang is in good spirits. He is indeed a veteran idol and can keep his composure."

Dorothy curled her lips, "What's wrong with him? His money won't be less, and he can't lose Paramount's money."

"Oh?"

Dorothy told King Power, "The copyright of the Mission: Impossible series is in the hands of Tom's company, so this project is not so much Paramount's as it is his. Paramount wants to make a sequel and needs Tom's consent."

, we have to meet his box office share requirements, which is not a share of box office profits, but a share of the total box office!"

Wang Quan searched the film and television library and was really shocked. Disc 3, which cost 150 million, had a global box office of less than 400 million, but Tom Cruise alone took away 75 million US dollars!

Damn it, superstars just make money!

This means that the box office performance is poor. If the performance is good, it is estimated that a movie can earn 100 million!

If Paramount hadn't been able to make money from derivative rights, this movie would probably have lost money. No wonder the old man Redstone dislikes Tom so much.

Wang Quan crossed Gadot and poked Dorothy, "I also want to share the total box office~"

Dorothy, "Do you want 1% of the total box office, or 20% of the profit?"

"Forget it, I still have confidence in my movie's ability to make money."

Dorothy added, "After "10 Cloverfield Lane" is released, I will consider increasing your salary as appropriate."

"Escape Room" Wang Quan received 880,000 yuan in director's remuneration, and it should be more than a million next time, but I don't know how much this movie will make in the end. Wang Quan is even looking forward to the 20% profit share of the full copyright.

After the movie screening, Dorothy took Wang Quan and Gadot to get to know Tom. This guy's popularity has declined recently, so he is much calmer in dealing with people than before, and he doesn't jump on the sofa casually.

He also smiled and said that there was an opportunity to cooperate with Wang Quan. Wang Quan said in his heart, I will consider it.

Next, Wang Quan, apart from working on the post-production of "Escape Room" and going back to school, has been paying attention to the box office and social reputation of "Disc 3".

Although his film and television library also has these things, they are emotionless and cold data. Only by truly living in this era and looking at the data and words that change every day can we have a clearer understanding of a work.

The movie opened in 4,054 theaters, the fourth largest opening in film history. However, it only earned 16.63 million on its first Friday, averaging $4,100 per game.

There was not much improvement on Saturday, with a box office of 18.4 million and an average of 4,500 per game, which is still not ideal.

Compared with the recent "Ice Age", it sold 21.7 million on the first day and 28 million on the second day, leaving the international superstars far behind.

Three days later, "Mission: Impossible 3" ranked first on the weekly list with $48.02 million in its first weekend, but it was far from Paramount's estimate of $57.8 million.

The media and audiences believe that Liangtang's private life has affected the box office, while others believe that there is a problem with the film's quality.

Anyway, j.j. has been a little annoyed lately. Although there are still two big markets, Neon and Huaxia, that are not available, these two markets are beyond Paramount's control. Others are releasing simultaneously worldwide in May, but they are the only two.

, everything is arranged until July, when the day lilies are cold.

J.J. doesn't expect these two markets to give him any surprises. The most important thing he should do now is to apply for more marketing funds and resources for "10 Cloverfield Lane". He wants to make a turnaround and let his boss see it.

to your own strength and vision.

So Wang Quan was in Los Angeles, and he could clearly feel that there were more news about "10 Cloverfield Lane". Some of them were focusing on the sky-high buyout fee of 20 million. Paramount CEO personally came out and said, "Director David Wang is a

Genius, many directors can’t achieve this effect even if they spend 20 million!”

Wang Quan said thank you. Don’t you just want people to know that this movie is not shoddy and low-budget?
