There is no doubt that Wang Huan can't find many changes to the script. Stephen King is very powerful, and basically all works have been adapted. It is difficult for Wang Huan to make many changes to such a great work.

However, when Wang Huan suggested that the director let Lao Taozi take responsibility, Mark's face changed. He waved his hand and said: "This is impossible. It is impossible to find a foreign director like this, especially an Asian director. He can't communicate with our actors and employees, and he can't understand this story!"

"No discussion, this movie is with me and Director Zhang. I don't believe others, even Cameron and James are not good at communication. You can find a capable assistant director or producer. If you understand, why do you know that he can't understand that?"

The two sides repeatedly argued over this issue, and in the end, Mark had to bring reinforcements. Paramount's vice president came, and they didn't believe in Lao Too's directorial ability. This was really hard for them to understand. Even if the films directed in China were very good, it was the United States and Hollywood. It was never proved here that it was impossible to become the director of such a film.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang, we can't compromise on the director's problem. At most, let Mr. Zhang become the deputy director. This is the biggest condition we can agree to."

"Then I'm very sorry, I can only find another company to cooperate with. I believe this script will not be lacking for people with enough vision. Goodbye."

Wang Huan stood up and was about to leave. At this time, Lao Taozi suddenly grabbed Wang Huan and said, "Don't! What a great opportunity. It doesn't matter if I don't become a director. Assistant director, it's better to learn from it."

Wang Huan laughed. Lao Touzi is really a good person! But he didn't want to cooperate with top film companies, so the share would not be too high, and the conditions would be too harsh, so it would be better than that of medium-sized companies. At least the conditions would be much wider.

Paramount people feel very sorry, but after all, they can't force anything. If there are too many good scripts in such a large company, they won't beg you for anything.

Next, Lao Mouzi and Han leaders found several senior executives of eight major companies, but refused this request without exception, and the risk was obviously too great.

"I just said that these big companies cannot give us too good conditions. It's not a business to do it. We'll find someone else."

There is no secret in the Hollywood film industry, and Wang Huan and the others have caused a lot of trouble. The industry soon learned that two Chinese people came. They had a good movie script, which was so good that they could win an Oscar-level, but they asked a Chinese who had never proven in Hollywood to be a director, although he was the best in China.

Many companies shook their heads and didn't want to take this risk, but there was a company that liked to go astray but was moved. Lionsgate, a company named after the famous iconic bridge of Vancouver, the founder Frank Gusta, who was home to Vancouver, was unpredictable from the beginning. "American Mental Patient" is their masterpiece, and in the future, Fahrenheit 911, which angered the White House, was also their work. Other horror films such as Chainsaw are their specialties. In short, this is a non-mainstream film production company and has always lived a vivid life.

"Oh! We have understood the sincerity of Lionsgate Company. Thank you for your trust. I agree to this condition." Wang Huan shook hands with the other party and reached the beginning of this cooperation.

Lions Gate Company came to the door on its own initiative. They took the producer with the best vision of their company to read the script. After reading it, they were moved and were willing to pay enough for it. Of course, they also had a bottom line. They did not give up the editing rights in the end, which means that they had the right to re-edit the movie. Wang Huan did not force this. Anyway, the original version would be like whatever it was according to his own perspective. Can the other party still find fault?

The next thing is easy to deal with. With the help of the casting director of Lionsgate, you can contact the Hollywood Film Guild to start selecting actors. As long as you arrange the scene and choose the shooting location, they don’t need to worry about it. They will naturally help you find it according to the script, and it will also be a choice. At that time, the director will choose what you are satisfied with. Of course, there will be picky directors who will find it slowly. For example, when filming and saving Private Ryan, they spent a lot of effort to find the coast similar to Normandy.

Lionsgate has little objection to the male lead Andy choosing Tom Hanks. He was the box office guarantee last year, and his acting skills are unquestionable. Although he is worth a lot of money but his production costs are not high, Hanks still has a wealthy budget. However, Hanks refused even without reading the script because his current wife is going to give birth to a second child for him. How could a new good man like him still work?

In desperation, he found several well-known actors, but he got nothing. He either did not believe in the strength of Chinese directors or had no time. Finally, Wang Huan proposed that the original actor was Tim Robbins. This former professional baseball player is a big winner in Hollywood in the future. He is a double best actor in Cannes and Golden Balls. He has been nominated for Oscars many times and is known as the real Hollywood film artist. If Wang Huan had not invited this person to increase his influence, he would actually be the most stable person to act.

Tim Robbins was surprised when he received the script. Of course he knew this movie. Even outsiders should have heard of it. Unexpectedly, newspapers and TV frequently used this matter as big news. Many Americans sneered at it and believed that a Chinese child and a child were only winning awards internationally but had not proven in Hollywood that he came to Hollywood to make gold with an unknown script. Many actors refused to act because of this. However, he didn't care. As long as the roles were full and challenging, he didn't mind these things.

Soon Tim Robbins was moved by Andy. This is a real strong man. He is strong inside. He never gives up the spirit of pursuing freedom and uses his own spirit to infect his friends. If he doesn't accept this movie, he will regret it for the rest of his life. Robbins yelled in his heart and told him.

When the New York Times, the most influential in the United States, took the lead in getting the cast, all those who saw the lineup had a great influence. These actors are all powerful people. It is impossible to say that they all have a blind eye? This shows that the script has indeed touched their hearts.

However, when Tim Robbins arrived at the filming scene, the director was lucky that the other party was in a bad English unexpectedly, but when he saw that the screenwriter and director assistant were a teenager, he was Spartan. A child of this age wrote such a script. Has he lived to be a dog in his life? He was hit!
