Chapter 78 Blonde Beauty Jerry is still busy for the time the day, Chen An would wander around outside alone, treating it as a trip. For example, Chen An went into Chinatown on Sunset Boulevard and strolled around. Although it is called Chinatown, it is not entirely populated by Chinese people, but people of all races gather here. There were many tourists, and Chen An also met several fans of his movies. I don't even know where I watched my movie. However, Chen An still took a photo and signed autographs with the other party. "Where did you watch my movie?" Chen An couldn't help but ask curiously before leaving. A Chinese restaurant owner said: "Your discs are very popular here." "Run Lola Run?" Chen An thought about it and realized that this was the only movie he had sold the North American copyright for. The boss gave an unexpected answer: "All of them, but your My Sassy Girl is my favorite?"
Chen An: “???” Chen An, who didn't understand it, was full of questions. Where the hell did you see it? I remember that I didn't sell the copyright here. "My friend sent them to me. They have every one of yours. I love them all," explained the Chinese boss. Chen An could only smile and said, "Your friend is really nice." The pirated disc business has expanded overseas, and the distribution channels are quite powerful. Before it got dark, Chen An returned to the hotel and stayed there quietly. Even Batman's billionaire parents can't travel at night, let alone Chen An. If it's not clear in the morning, something will definitely go wrong in the evening. The days of waiting will definitely be boring, and you can only watch WWE and admire each other's perfect acting skills. A group of muscular men were fighting over it, pretending to be quite interesting. Jerry came to us a few days later and found out that Warner had already started the project. "Chen, do you have any actors in mind? If so, I will send them an invitation." Jerry, who came to see Chen An, asked hurriedly. Chen An thought about it and told the other party about the actors who played the roles of the father, grandfather, and uncle in the original version, all of whom were actors who had already debuted. As for the role of the mother, we need to find a new one. The original mother is still too young, so all child actors can only be cast through public auditions. After hearing Chen An's intention, Jerry nodded and said, "Well, I will send interview invitations to these people first, and the others will be open for interview." After saying this, he left without looking back. As a producer, he still had a lot of things to deal with. Not only do I have to prepare for the interview, but I also have to arrange all the crew members. And Chen An could only wait, as he couldn't intervene now. Human beings are just like this. They are usually busy and just want to take a break, but when they are idle for a long time, they feel bored and want to find something to do.
Chen An could only go to the movies alone, since he had never seen most of the newly released films. However, the next movie, "Shakespeare in Love", which is hailed as the film with the worst Oscar-winning actress, is about to be released, but Chen An will not have time to watch it by then. However, Chen An is quite interested in a newly released movie, the re-released version of "Oz", which is also distributed by Warner. Or you can find a variety of restaurants to eat and change your taste. Go out at sunrise and return before nightfall. In this second largest city in the United States, even if you are Asian, you will not look unique when moving around. The only drawback is that there are no blonde beauties coming up to chat with me. Aren’t they all very passionate? "Chen, I have invited several actors you mentioned. The young actor can only be interviewed." Jerry said in the car after picking up Chen An at the hotel early in the morning. Chen An, who was still a little sleepy, rubbed his eyes and yawned: "Okay, no problem, what are you doing so early in the morning?" After saying that, he couldn't help but scratch his head to sober up. "Of course it was an interview. The union has already been notified." Jerry said unhappily. While he was busy these days, Chen An was quite relaxed. Hollywood had various unions, so it was much easier to find the right actors. "OK!" Chen An nodded to show that he understood. The car drove all the way to the interview location, parked in the underground parking lot, and the two went upstairs together. "Some young actors will come for interviews soon. You can look around and see if there are any you like." Jerry said to Chen An next to him in the elevator. Although this matter was under his jurisdiction, he still handed it over to Chen An, trusting his vision. Chen An did not refuse: "Okay." "We will sign the contract together after the actors finish the interview. However, the total amount this time is only 8 million, and your salary is only 1 million." Jerry wanted to explain the situation to Chen An. "Is this the only price I get for writing and directing the screenplay?" Chen An felt that even if he was the best director at Cannes, no matter how worthless he was, he would not get only one million for writing and directing the screenplay. Jerry smiled and said, "Of course not. That's your director's fee, plus 5% of the box office share. I spent a lot of effort to get that for you." "Thank you so much for your help, Jerry." Chen An was quite satisfied with the result and understood what Jerry meant. Jerry put his arm around Chen An's shoulders and said, "This is what I should do. I brought you here. The success of the film is the biggest help to me." Chen An nodded in response to him. Under the guidance of the other party, Chen An walked into a conference room with several seats provided for sitting. It was probably the location for the interview. Sitting at the top with Jerry. It probably won’t take too long to wait for the interview to begin. Jerry, who was sitting next to him, picked up the phone and notified someone. After a while, a staff member came in to notify them. The two arrived relatively late and took a special passage, where quite a few people who came for the interview had already gathered.
"Ok, let's start." Jerry informed the staff. "Yes, sir." The other party nodded and walked out, closing the door. Soon there was a knock on the door, and then a middle-aged man came in. He must be running for the role of father or uncle. The middle-aged man with short blond hair, brown pupils, and a beard nodded politely and then said: "Sir, my name is" Then a short scripted performance began. Chen An didn't feel anything, and Jerry had no idea either, so he asked the other party to go back and wait for news. Although interview invitations were sent out to the actors mentioned by Chen An in advance, interviews for all major roles still had to be conducted before they were confirmed. No one can guarantee whether others are willing or not. Time passed little by little, and during this time the original actor Alan Arkin also came over. Chen An, who was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor, immediately agreed to star in the film. Jerry didn't say much. After the interview was successful, the old man left with a smile and said he would wait for Chen An's notification. Later, the original actor's father and uncle came over. Greg Kinnear, who played the father, was a former host and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at this year's Oscars. But it was just a nomination, and the pay was not much. The role he interviewed for was one of the protagonists, and both Chen An and Jerry were very satisfied with his acting performance. This was especially true for Steve Carell, who was interviewing his uncle. Before he became famous for the TV series "The Office", he came for the interview in person, wanting to seize this opportunity. After a day of interviews, I did get some results, but the little girl who was the absolute protagonist still didn't choose the right candidate. As for the role of mother, Chen An and Jerry have already picked one or two targets. Just as today's interview was about to end, Chen An stretched his body and said, "Hey Jerry, do you have a relative's child? If not, let her go." "My sister has one, but I swear my brother-in-law will break my legs if I dare to go there." Jerry explained expressionlessly, not expecting anything from it. "Well, your legs are more important than the movie, aren't they, hahaha." Chen An couldn't help laughing after hearing what Jerry said. At this time, there was another knock on the door, and the door was opened, and a beautiful blonde walked in, holding a little girl's hand. "Hey auntie, hurry up, you've been late for too long today, I'm late too!" said the little girl who was being led by the hand confidently. The blonde beauty bowed her head and apologized for the little girl: "Sorry baby, forgive auntie, and I will be on time next time, okay?" Please subscribe
