Facts have proved that during this period, no one can stop Leonardo's charm!

In the end, Xiao Lizi joined as he wished. An additional investment of 10 million US dollars was made, and the parties re-signed the contract. Rongguang's share ratio was basically halved, and there were several other detailed terms.

Of course, such negotiations were handled by agent Pincus and lawyers, and Rong Guang did not need to worry too much. The results were also good, and he did not suffer any losses.

And Pincus also secured a new business - publishing the original novel.

Through CAA's relationship, Pincus has contacted a publisher to publish the original novel of "Parasite" for US$200,000, plus a 12% royalties. It will be released simultaneously with the release of the movie.

Anyway, as soon as he heard that Leonardo was starring, the publisher became quite happy.

Writing a novel also does not require trouble. Pincus has hired a screenwriter doctor on the crew and hired him as a gunman for US$100,000. There is no authorship rights and no subsequent profits. Basically, the whole world is the same.

Writers have never had any human rights.

The remaining cash is basically Pincus's commission, and he will also enjoy 2% of the first edition share in the future. In other words, if there is no second or third edition of the novel, Rong Guang will only get 10%

Copyright divided.

Although this was free money, Rong Guang still felt a little weird.

I have to admit that CAA’s eating scenes are indeed ugly. But their relationship network is indeed deep enough!

Since there is no way to resist Li Zi's joining, he can only lie back and enjoy it. If Ah Q were to join, at least the box office would be much higher, right? Rong Guang's share would also be much higher. Anyway, for such an ensemble movie, the starring role would definitely be

If you can't win a film award, then it's no shame.

As for Leonardo, he became famous at a young age, and just one "Titanic" movie can make him famous for a lifetime! So he has always wanted to win the best actor and improve his quality.

However, the imprint of the idol superstar is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He continuously tried to win the Oscar, but failed every time. It was not until 2016 that Leonardo ruined his image and starred in the movie, and then won the Oscar for Best Actor with "The Revenant"

.

To be fair, the discrimination of the Oscar judges is a bit excessive. Although Leonardo is an idol superstar, he has appeared in "The Aviator", "The Departed", "Inception", and "The Wolf of Wall Street"

A wonderful performance. He should have been given an Oscar long ago.

Especially "The Aviator" - the biopic of Hughes. Only Leonardo's appearance and acting skills can portray the young Hughes, who was so suave and talented.

By the way, a behind-the-scenes story.

The script of "The Aviator" was adapted from Hughes' autobiography.

However, Hughes never wrote an autobiography. He was single all his life and had no relatives. He also suffered from mental problems in his later years and had been living in seclusion. So a wise man had an idea and forged Hughes's signature and the autobiography contract. Then he wrote

Various jokes about Hughes that were circulated in the media and among the people were collected and compiled, and then a publisher was found.

But the paper couldn't stop the fire, so the publisher contacted Hughes' lawyer, and then he realized that he was a liar. Needless to say, the clever man was imprisoned. But the publisher also had no lower limit and still published the "autobiography".

He just happened to use a clever scam as publicity. Unexpectedly, it became a best-selling book in the United States?

The story is here, but it’s not over yet!

Since it became a best-seller, it contains many bar jokes - the kind of collusion between politics and business!

One day, the then commander-in-chief Richard Nixon took a look and was shocked. How could it all be true (laughing and crying)? He thought it was a leak. This must be a conspiracy of the Democratic Party! So he sent White House agents, and then... the Watergate incident

!

He is a legend of great intelligence. He published a biography, adapted it into a movie, caused the Watergate Incident, and even managed to create a great leader?

China has Chaoyang Auntie, and America has bar jokes!

…

Before the filming of the film started, the script was finally finalized.

When Oliver Stone started to prepare for filming, Rong Guang also learned secretly from the sidelines. However, the first lesson he learned secretly was that Hollywood is corrupt.

That kind of corruption has become systemic corruption. Every position in the crew uses their power to gain various benefits. And everyone has become accustomed to it, and some unspoken rules have been formed.

For example, the two-month rent for the rented villa is US$700,000. You know, it's 1999, and you can buy a similar villa in Los Angeles for the same price.

In fact, "Parasite" is a low-budget movie. There are only two filming locations: one is the basement and the other is the villa.

Later, online data showed that the filming cost of "Parasite" was US$11 million? That's a joke!

Even if Rong Guang was filming in China in 1202, if the main creator's salary is excluded, the cost of filming would never exceed 8 million! And it's still a soft girl!

If the price is increased to 11 million soft girl coins, Rongguang can build a new villa as a set and then set it on fire after filming.

How can it be 11 million US dollars? But considering that it is a big country in the universe, then it will be fine!

In fact, this is the peeing behavior of a certain people in the universe. To be honest, the standard is superfluous! "Parasite" itself is already very awesome, there is no need to brag about the shooting cost?

As for such corruption in Hollywood, Rong Guang would not care about it, and of course he could not control it. However, the cost waste was quite serious. Various tricks emerged in an endless stream. It was an eye-opener for Rong Guang.

In addition, there are various reasonable and unreasonable systems, which also cause a sharp increase in costs. Some are more humane, such as: eight-hour working system, five-day working day and weekend rest, etc.

This results in a relatively long shooting cycle for Hollywood crews. But it is indeed a kind of protection for the actors.

Also, like the director of photography can’t take photos? Is it just to add another photographer position?

This is overkill. If the director of photography cannot take the shot, it will have a certain impact on the quality of the film.

But having said that, there are many disadvantages, but there are also many advantages.

After all, Rong Guang did not come here to cause trouble, his purpose was to learn. In the following days, he used his status as a screenwriter and starring role to humbly ask for advice at various positions. He did solve a lot of doubts and learned a lot of experience.

Gradually, it’s the day the crew started filming. Basically all the actors have arrived.

In this regard, Hollywood does a better job. The schedule is very strict, and you will never be allowed to leave the team during the filming. There is no such thing as drama.
