Everyone had a comfortable chat on this day.

The smell of rising tobacco leaves is everywhere in the room.

With one breath and one breath, it seemed as if I brought my thoughts out, meticulously and slowly, I watched a very good script take shape in everyone's minds.

This is a kind of spiritual enjoyment, a collision of thinking. It can be encountered but cannot be found.

"Oh......"

Nolan was very happy, or everyone was happy.

In the evening, we had a meal together and had some wine before we went back.

In fact, Lehmann does not attach great importance to this project, even if it invests a lot.

After all, working for Warner is just a box office money.

But if you can't say it, it must be fake. If you throw one or two hundred million in, you have to get the capital back and deduct some interest.

There is also a subsequent sequel production, which can be inserted even if you can insert a kick.

With the idea of ​​director Nolan and adapting the script, Warner would not dare to replace him if he was really successful.

Anyway, this is the first one. Let’s try it first, study it together, and have both entertainment and depth. To make comic fans like it, it can make passers-by feel more immersive. Even if you are not a DC fan, you can fall in love with it. This is the goal.

Jonathan is also a qualified screenwriter. Although this guy has always been taken by Nolan and is shrouded by Nolan's halo, he has a good foundation. He has written several short stories with depth and can grasp Nolan's adaptation ideas very well. He does not pretend to be profound and likes to lean towards the direction of art. He is not niche and down-to-earth.

......

Early the next morning, Lehman had breakfast and drove to Firefly Pictures.

It takes some time for the "Batman" incident, but his own affairs can also be put on the agenda.

In terms of actors, "Daydailer" has already finalized the male lead and the male supporting role. The remaining main characters are still missing the female lead and the male lead's mother.

The hero's mother is simple, with an age set at over 50 years old, while there are many "mother households" in Hollywood.

This time, Renee Russell was directly selected to play the mother of the male protagonist in the play.

She is a veteran actor and later starred in the protagonist's mother Friga in "Thor" in the future.

The negotiations with her went very smoothly. To be honest, actresses of the age of Renee Russell are not very popular.

Of course, acting is just a hobby. When he was young, he was the most popular cover model in the United States. Her husband Dan Gilroy is also a very famous screenwriter and doesn't have to worry about life.

As for her, she only received a pay of 150,000 yuan.

Jin Carrey is very famous. Although she likes scripts very much, her value has not been reduced much. She requires a basic salary of 12 million yuan and a box office share of 3% in North America. To be honest, she is still quite conscientious.

As for Jean-Renault, he gave a guest appearance and the reward was also $1.5 million.

After all, the actors' expenses have been spent 13.65 million US dollars before the preparations have been completed.

Just as Renee Russell was finalized, Lehman rushed to sign a contract with another actor.

In "Daydreamer", the heroine is a magazine editor and the male protagonist's boss, and she needs to be around 30 years old.

After thinking about it, there happened to be someone who was very suitable.

As for the previous life version, Kristen Weger played, but what she said now, she has never acted in a movie seriously.

She was originally a monk halfway through the journey. She has always been a comedy screenwriter, responsible for the copywriter and design jokes of "Weekend Night Live".

Those who are behind this are not allowed to go directly to the stage.

......

Santa Monica Café.

A woman with shoulder-length short hair quietly stirred the coffee in the cup and looked up from time to time outside the window.

"Sorry, the traffic jam on the road was delayed."

As soon as Lehman walked into the cafe, he saw Hillary Swank by the window.

It's noon, and there are really few people in the cafe.

Hillary immediately stood up and smiled and said, "It's okay, I've just arrived."

Lehman looked at the coffee that had been drunk on the table. Although he knew that he was insincerely polite, he still sat down calmly.

This role needs a very mature woman to play.

Originally, Lehman wanted to ask Kate Beckinsale to try it. After all, he only knew a few actresses. Eva, his own witch, was not suitable for her appearance, and she was too charming and too young.

But Kate Beckinsale looks like a classical lady, and it seems that it doesn't match a profession like a magazine editor.

After thinking about it, I gave up again. I can’t have a good impression of her, just praise her. That’s unrealistic.

On the contrary, Hillary Swank has a foundation in acting, looks ordinary and heroic, and is very suitable for a career role.

Thinking about it this way, she doesn’t rely on her face to make a living, but instead becomes an advantage?

After all, most Hollywood actresses are good at selling their faces. When it comes to acting... they should talk about beauty and figure.

In addition, the generation of actresses is very fast.

Generally speaking, actresses who are over 30 years old will either disappear quickly without a trace, or they will have to transform, become "mothers" or rely on their superb performances to avoid being eliminated by the circle.

"Vase" is the constraints of male audiences and the entire Hollywood on actresses.

On the contrary, male actors will become more and more popular after they are 30 years old.

The asymmetry of resources and status is no wonder that it has become a place where feminists have always used to criticize the entertainment industry.

Of course, this is not something Lehman has to worry about.

He only took out a script from his briefcase and handed it to Hillary Swank.

He asked her out and had already talked about the show.

Hillary was still as usual, doing nothing all day long.

Since she returned from Cannes, she has been in a vicious circle of looking for crews everywhere.

It seems very busy, but it's all busy.

At this moment, she was still very happy about Director Lehman's invitation.

With this feeling, she roughly browsed the script of the character she was about to play.

"Can I ask, how long will the filming start?"

It seems that she agreed.

Lehman thought about it and needed him to keep an eye on the preliminary preparations for "Batman", so he said, "I guess the filming will start in July. At that time, I will notify you in advance. If you are willing to take on this drama, remember to spend the time of that period. If the filming is free, it will take about two or three months, and the filming will be very troublesome."

"Yeah, I get it."

No surprise, Hillary Swank agreed easily.

Her pay has not increased much, because the role of this drama is definitely less than "Million Dollar Baby". After thinking about it with her agent, she gave her 1.2 million US dollars.

At this point, the main creative lineup of this drama is much higher than the one in the previous life.
Chapter completed!
