"First of all, Ms. Kimberly, I have to admit that this script is really attractive, and it is a rare masterpiece." Although Lu Ning said so, it was not the reason that really moved Lu Ning. In fact, Lu Ning knew that, This movie will win the 2000 Oscar for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, which is the real reason Lu Ning likes this movie.
Although the box office of this "Boys Don't Cry" is in a certain sense, the box office is on the street, and the film company invested in it lost a bottom line, but this film is deeply loved by the judges of the Oscar jury. , this alone is enough, what is the name of that unfortunate film company, by the way, it seems to be Fox Searchlight.
However, the company's final lifespan is not too long. Of course, these have nothing to do with Lu Ning. Now, the most important thing is that Kimberly Pierce can agree to her request.
"Ms. Kimberly, the most important aspect, you should also know that Alice and I have an agreement that we will not shoot those revealing movies, even kissing is not allowed, and this movie of yours, at the end There will be graphic depictions of rape, Ms. Kimberly, if there is no good solution, then I'm sorry, I don't think Alice will agree." This is Lu Ning's first consideration.
Although, at the end of this movie, there are no issues such as nudity. At that time, this kind of rape scene was not acceptable to Lu Ning, so Lu Ning had already made his decision right away. .
"However, Mr. Lu, you have also made movies before. Even in "Titanic", didn't Miss Alice make some sacrifices?" Kimberly Pierce said with a frown. The soul of a movie is the final shot. If it is not shot, it will be greatly reduced.
"Ha, Ms. Kimberly, don't tell me anything about devotion to art, the last time I said the same thing was director James Cameron, and in the end, he was kicked out of the studio by me, and the shooting was done by the assistant director, Of course, most of the plots use stand-ins." Lu Ning sat on the sofa in a good mood and said with a smile, but the content made Kimberly Pierce a little scared, you know, James Cameron's name of the tyrant on the set No. is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and I did not expect such a thing to happen.
"Uh, Kimberly, I can prove this matter. Once, when I was drinking with James, that guy was still complaining in front of me." Dean Gary Saville proved on the side. As for James Camere Why didn't Long advertise everywhere, hehe, a director was kicked out of the shooting location, is this something to be proud of? Also, don't even think about it, who drove me out? Do you have a place to speak for yourself?
"Uh, then, Mr. Lu, what are you going to do?" Kimberly Pierce knew after listening to the testimonial from Dean Gary Savile.
It's impossible for Lu Ning to be moved by the nonsense of devoting himself to art. Now, let's think about other ways.
"Substitute, Ms. Kimberly, this is the best way I can think of. Of course, after the movie is released, Alice will also declare that this episode was completed by a substitute." Lu Ning said firmly.
"This..." Kimberly Pierce thought about it for a while, and in the end, she agreed with her teeth. Kimberly Pierce was still confident that through the angle and shooting, she could still be real.
As for Alice's behavior in announcing her stand-in after the movie was released, it doesn't matter. Kimberly Pierce can still accept this.
"Very well, Ms. Kimberly, this is a wise decision." Lu Ning said with a smile: "Then, the next issue is Alice's salary. In my opinion, Ms. Kimberly, your "Don't Be A Boy" "Cry" should belong to the category of literary and artistic films, and there should not be too much capital investment for such a film." Lu Ning's meaning is also very clear, and it is estimated that Fox Searchlight will not provide this film "Farewell for Boys". Cry" invested too much money, in this case, how to ensure Alice's salary?
After all, Alice is now a top-tier actress in Hollywood. Not to mention, this year's Oscar winner is the best gimmick. Not to mention, the first movie after the Oscar queen's comeback, and It is still the first film after studying at the USC Film School. Such a gimmick can attract a large number of loyal movie fans.
Then, Alice's salary must also be on par with top-tier actresses. Even if Alice doesn't care about salary, she can't break the rules by herself. This salary is related to all Hollywood stars. If Alice If you are independent, then you will be rejected by all stars. After all, this is related to the "money way" of all fame, and no one can change it.
"This, Mr. Lu, look at the salary of $8 million and 10% of the box office revenue, okay?" Kimberly Pierce was really embarrassed when she said this. Lu Ning said it well, " Boys Don't Cry" is a literary film, and Fox Searchlight's budget was about $15 million at the beginning.
This investment is really not comparable to Alice's salary alone. You must know that according to Alice's current status, the salary of a movie is low, that is, starting at 15 million US dollars. 20 million, 25 million, not impossible.
And the price given by Kimberly Pierce is indeed a bit low. As for the 10% box office revenue, that's all a gamble.
Literary films, how high can the box office go? According to Lu Ning's memory, the box office of "Boys Don't Cry" is only a measly 13 million US dollars. How much money can such a box office have? More than 1 million?
If a blockbuster like "Titanic" would earn 10% of the box office revenue, Lu Ning would definitely agree without thinking about it, but Lu Ning hesitated for this literary film.
When Lu Ning was hesitating, Alice pulled Lu Ning's arm, Lu Ning turned to look, Alice nodded to herself, it seemed that Alice really liked this movie.
"This, well, $8 million, plus 10 percent of the box office revenue, but it's claimed to be $12 million, plus 10 percent of the box office revenue." Lu Ning still agreed. As for the external announcement, it was for the sake of Good Alice, doing this, at least Alice also avoided some unpleasant voices. Of course, with Lu Ning's presence, these big names don't necessarily dare to say anything.
