Cindy Crawford didn't stay long, so she got up and said goodbye to the studio. She had to go to class later and take time to get familiar with the script.

She has failed once, and with the disadvantages brought by her age, it is difficult to have a second chance. She is about to have a chance to star in "The Sixth Sense". For her, it is no less than the last straw. She must be firmly grasped, otherwise she can only leave Hollywood.

Ryan stayed in the studio for a while, and met Knight Shama casually to discuss the "Sixth Sense".

"Long time no see Knight." Ryan warmly welcomed Knight Shama to sit down.

Knight Shama did not say any polite words, and took out the script of "The Sixth Sense" very directly and said: "I took the time to modify the plot, especially the role of Dr. Melcon, I need to choose an acting actor."

He said without hiding his thoughts: "It is difficult for ordinary Hollywood actors to show the charm of this role."

"There is also Johnson Scarlett who plays the role of Dell. I hope she can join the crew in advance and spend at least one to two months to familiarize herself with the role rehearsal plot."

Underage actors have always been synonymous with trouble, and Johnson-Scarlett was decided by Ryan himself, and he has never even met Johnson-Scarlett himself.

Fortunately, Johnson Scarlett is not a newcomer and has appeared in several films.

Knight Shama rented it back and watched each video one by one. Overall, his acting skills are pretty good.

Although it cannot be said that it is very talented, it is already good for a minor girl.

Ryan tapped his desk with his finger, thought for a while, and said, "Write the list of actors you want to recommend and give it to Jon Fairtemer, who will give an audition invitation in the name of Orion Pictures."

"As for Johnson-Scarlett!"

"I need to notify her agent about this matter and seek her parents' opinions, and I cannot give you a reply for the time being."

"The Sixth Sense" has just been launched, and before the producer even decided, it was a bit too early to let Johnson Scarlett come to rehearse.

However, Ryan did not directly refuse, after all, Knight Shama is the director of this project.

"How about Tim Robbins?" Knight Shama asked tentatively.

Tim Robbins!

Ryan frowned. He naturally knew who Tim Robbins was. He even watched "The Shawshank Redemption" starring him. However, Tim Robbins had a small problem. The pay was probably not cheap, and the box office appeal seemed to be a little worse.

Of course, his ideal candidate, Bruce Willis, is also not cheap.

If the Sixth Sense had not been budgeted as high as $35 million, Ryan would never have considered any big-name stars.

"You can send him an audition invitation, and also a audition invitation to Bruce Willis." He nodded and agreed.

Bruce – Willis!

"He's an action actor." Knight Shama immediately raised an objection, "I don't think he's suitable for this film."

Bruce Willis has appeared in many films, most famous for his film "Die Hard" series, playing a strong man.

"Knight, this is just an audition invitation." Ryan stopped him and continued.

As the owner of a film company, he needs to consider a lot of things, not only in line with the role and acting skills in the script, but also one more important thing, that is, box office appeal.

Even the box office of the last film "Die Hard 3" was not so ideal.

But Bruce Willis still has the box office appeal that supports a film.

Although Tim Robbins is also quite famous, he is obviously not as good as Bruce Willis in terms of box office appeal.

And Ryan didn't say anything about it. The person who played Dr. Melcon in his previous life was Bruce Willis, who was very outstanding from the perspective of box office and business, so he didn't want to make changes.

Knight Shama opened his mouth and finally said nothing.

After filming two films: "Praying Angry" and "Full Sober", he understood one thing. As an Indian and a new director without any achievements, he needed to learn to abide by the rules of Hollywood film companies.

Otherwise, you can only leave Hollywood sadly, or like "Full Sober", even if you have worked hard to shoot it, you can only sell the copyright to the distribution company at a low price, otherwise the film will not be released at all.

"Well, I respect your opinion." Knight Shama took a deep breath, "I have one more thing besides "The Sixth Sense."

"When will "Full Sober" be released? I want to know a specific time, at least give my family an explanation."

Speaking of this, Knight Shama's tone became helpless.

In order to film "Full Sober", his family supported a large amount of funds, but in the end they exchanged for only a few hundred thousand dollars. If the copyright of "The Sixth Sense" was not sold for $3 million, he wouldn't know how to face them.

So he needs to give his family an explanation, at least so that they can see the film released in North America.

For an Indian family, it is something to be proud of, not even money can measure.

This is the greatest charm of Hollywood. For example, after Charlize Theron became famous, he was directly called the South African national treasure by the South African government.

There is also Jackie Chan who returns to Xiangjiang, a big brother-level figure. Any guest appearance in a video will be charged by the minute.

None of these can be measured by money.

"Knight, don't worry."

"I can assure you that "Full Sober" will never directly release offline videotapes, and doing so is not in the interests of Orion Pictures." Ryan knew what he was worried about, but was simply afraid that Orion Pictures would directly release offline videotapes and the film would not be released in North America.

"I can even tell you clearly that when "The Sixth Sense" was sold, it was the time when "Full Sober" appeared in the cinema." He did not hide this plan, anyway, Orion Pictures had bought the copyright of the film.

Knight Shama was shocked all over, looking at Ryan, and he never expected that Orion Pictures would make such an idea again.

It is not that I did not release "Full Sober", but that I wanted to take advantage of the "Sixth Sense" to take the opportunity to promote "Full Sober" to theaters, thereby driving the box office of the film.

Not only did he not have any disgust, he was full of motivation. Whether it would affect his reputation was not within his consideration.

An unknown new director cares about his reputation!

The next morning, Knight Shama officially signed a director agreement with Orion Pictures, with a pay of only $100,000, which is pitifully less than the buyout fee of "The Sixth Sense".

For this reason, Knight Shama had a big fight with the agent and chose to terminate the contract with the agent and change to a new agent.

In Hollywood, brokers are always service providers. It is difficult for brokers to stop what customers want to do. At worst, they can fire the broker like Knight-Sama.

As for the broker or agency banning him, it is almost impossible. This is the perfect Entertainment Act of the United States, which basically eliminates such a thing.

Moreover, for Hollywood film companies, they don’t care about any agency. As long as they have sufficient interests, Hollywood film companies may not even care about the White House.

Although Orion Pictures doesn't give much money, Ryan just read it slightly and agreed immediately, such as insurance, travel expenses, living allowances, casting rights and editing advice.
