In the second week of February, the North American box office of "Museum" has accumulated a total of 187 million US dollars, and it is only a small step left to cross the 200 million mark.

At the same time, the popularity of the Oscars is getting higher and higher, and the speculation about the grand prize has never stopped.

Firefly Building.

Leman specially invited Cage and Director Zha to meet.

It is mainly the choice of male supporting roles, and Lehman wants to hear the opinions of these two.

Among them, Lehman is very familiar with the two, while Cage and Director Zha have to be a little more apart, but Lehman is looking for topics in the middle, and he is not a restrained person, so the chat atmosphere will soon become much easier.

"This project has been waiting for two years, and I hope that both of you will work hard."

Before the two creators made their statements, Lehman continued: "You have read the script. Who do you guys recommend the male supporting role?"

At this time, as long as the actor is suitable, it will definitely be decided.

The entertainment industry says it’s big or small, and both of them have social interactions, and Lehman doesn’t care that they recommend some acquaintances.

In this regard, Director Za wanted to point out Gerald Butler.

When filming "300", he felt that this guy was pretty good, but then he thought that the male supporting role was a selfish and treacherous man who made good use of justice and was a counter-arguing role. It seemed that he did not match Gerald's acting style, so he remained silent again.

Director Zha has not many friends in the circle, mostly behind the scenes. Before he became famous, he couldn't meet any actors who could work for a long time when filming MVs. After becoming famous, there were many people who wanted to make friends with him, but he looked down on him...

Director Zha didn't say anything, and Cage didn't think of anyone to recommend.

If it is a female character, he can push Scarlett - Scarlett has a good relationship with the Coppola family.

Lehman had no choice but to catch the list and slowly screen it.

After a long time, a person's information appeared in front of him, which made him feel impressed.

......

Lehman's rise changed the trajectory of many people, even life and death.

When Heath Ledger was in the crew, Ledman had a special reminder. Once his emotions were wrong, he would give him space to relieve stress by himself, and he did not see any danger of emotional out of control.

As for the role of Joker, Jack Nicholson played, Heath Ledger also performed the same performance, and another exciting one was Joaquin Phoenix.

This guy is 33 years old. Because his family has been in the entertainment industry, he easily became an actor in the footsteps of his two brothers, Rivian Phoenix (Chris in "Accompanying Me") and Ryan Phoenix.

In 2006, Phoenix's performance in "Walking with Songs" achieved good results. His performances in it were also praised by many film critics. More importantly, his pay was not high.

To put it another way, it is cost-effective.

After reading the information, Lehman looked at Cage, "Do you know this person?"

After saying that, hand over the actor's resume in his hand.

The reason why Lehman asked was that in 1999, Nicholas Cage and Phoenix collaborated on a thriller "8mm" directed by Joe Schumacher.

This movie is another representative work of the theme that year. While winning reputation, it also erected a sign of Cage's box office guarantee. He still had a deep impression on him.

Because Cage had just switched to commercial works at that time, and he hoped that the film would have good results in the box office market.

Of course, it did succeed in the end. The return on profit is very high.

As for Joaquin Phoenix mentioned by Lehman, he was playing an adult bookstore clerk in it, and asked him to comment, "I have the energy of his brother. Why, do you think about him?"

"It's not bad, isn't it?"

The age is right and the performance is solid. These two points alone are in line with the role.

Director Zha said without any worries: "Just look at the choice, as long as it is suitable."

......

Joaquin Phoenix is ​​a native American actor born in 1974.

When I opened his performance resume, I found that most of them played less serious roles.

What a big alcoholic singer; a sinister and cruel, ambitious Roman emperor; a jealous little boyfriend...

In short, this guy's image bonus is even worse than Heath Ledger - he can't make a living by relying on his face.

In other words, even if Joaquin Phoenix has deep connections in the circle, many projects are not available to him.

It just so happens that "I Am a Hero" is quite suitable for actors like him to perform.

Furthermore, playing a villain will not affect the development of the show for Phoenix at all, and he has no concerns about this.

When Joaquin Phoenix received the invitation to the second male lead in "I Am a Hero", Joaquin Phoenix just wanted to know what the script is like and what the character is like.

Anyway, he is very interested in the project.

The same is true for his agent.

When negotiating for the pay with Firefly, I always take the right measures and get as high as possible.

Of course, if it doesn't work, I can barely admit it. As long as the project is successful, the benefits in other aspects will definitely make up for the lack of pay, and this possibility is quite high.

Risk assessment is a cognitive analysis that many people in the entertainment industry have.

On February 18, Joaquin Phoenix joined the crew, with a pay of 4 million yuan, without ladder incentives.

It was not until now that the "I Am a Hero" project quickly entered the filming stage, and Director Za had already gone to New York to discuss with the government to provide convenience.

March is approaching.

The early publicity of "Juno" began to be vigorously promoted.

The topic of minors stealing the forbidden fruits has prompted the momentum, and soon enough, it attracted enough audience attention.

The main reason is that Firefly's label has also become aware of it, and some viewers have begun to recognize Firefly's production ability.

Even if the investment in the movie is not high, even if it is a sensitive subject, some viewers are curious about the to-be-screened "Juno".

In this regard, Landie Pictures has become more and more rich in distribution experience, so Lehman doesn't have to worry too much.

On the contrary, the Oscars are getting closer and closer as time goes by, making people unable to see how the result is.

People who are interested will strive for votes, but they can only say that they rely on their abilities or follow the trend.

As we all know, Oscars have always been politically inclined and are the base camp of the left.

At the same time, the TV series "Stranger Things" co-starred by Fireflies and HBO also began the preheating process.

Whether this drama can successfully take over the banner of spring depends on whether the paid users give face and whether there are many people who support it.

Although HBO has never liked to cut dramas in the middle, the ratings are too poor, and changing the period of playback will also harm the benefits of the series itself.

After a series of ups and downs and hypes of awards seasons, the 79th Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Kodak Theater on the evening of February 25, 2007.

Heath Ledger wore a black suit and came out of the concierge car, standing with Leman and other crew creators of "Old Nowhere to Belong to" before he went on the red carpet in an orderly manner.

"The Old Nothing to Belongs" has won 6 nominations in total, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, and Photography and Sound Effect.

If the scope is expanded to Firefly's output throughout the year last year, there will be more nominations for the work.

For example, "The Deadly Magic" has visual effects and editing; "The Little Sunshine Beauty" has the best supporting actor and the best soundtrack; "The Labyrinth of Pansy" has artistic guidance, makeup and the best foreign language... Even "300" has photography and visual effects.

If you only use the number of nominations to calculate this year's Oscars, Fireflies are undoubtedly the biggest winner, because Fireflies have the most award-winning works, followed by Colombia.

Keeping a smile along the way, except for Lehman and Eva who quickly passed the interview area, they ignored the reporter's intentions. The others had to cooperate to answer some trapped questions.

What is the chance of winning the prize? How to evaluate this year's Oscars? There are no exciting topics and newspapers are not easy to sell.

After entering the hall, Lehman directly came to Director Zha.

Although he didn't want to come - the technical award has nothing to do with his director, and he went on stage to receive the award, but in order not to offend others, he still rushed over from New York.

"How is the shooting okay?"

"It's okay, there's a lot of cooperation there, but the people at the Pentagon propaganda hope that we will give their army a positive image. If they agree, they can sponsor several helicopters and help block the streets."

"It's better to add some military forces to protect the masses and never retreat. You can do it yourself, just don't exceed the proportion of scenes in this area."

Lehman got used to similar things.

If the image of a soldier is not maintained, this film will be difficult to shoot. After all, it is a beacon of the United States.
Chapter completed!
