Chapter 52 Who is the drama tyrant?

On Monday, Andy and Slade first went to HBO headquarters to submit the remaining two episodes of "Vampire Life" and the first four episodes of "Apollo". By the way, they signed for "Vampire Life 2" at a price of 1.8 million per episode, and then got

An advance payment of US$10.8 million.

Currently, there are more than 16 million in the special account of the "Apollo" crew, and more than 25 million in the Temple of Gods Audiovisual Company. The money in the crew's account must be enough. In addition to owing Gilmore about two million, Andy is now a complete millionaire.

.

At noon, the two of them took their lawyers to Digital Ark Company. All the remaining digital model demos of the Greek God Realm from yesterday were sent to Andy. After discussing with Slade, he found that there were many problems. Today, he came to rectify the documents.

.

After more than four hours of discussion, Andy signed a supplementary agreement with Digital Ark and paid the final payment of 8.4 million.

It is expected that the entire digital model of the Temple of the Gods will be completed in three months. Since it is almost pure code, subsequent maintenance costs will be very low.

On Tuesday, Andy set out from Jacqueline's house and arrived at the interview location for "Wrath of the Gods" in ten minutes. Hollywood is a gathering place for the film industry. It's so big, and it's not far from the location of the "Apollo" crew.

.

This movie is a sequel, so most of the roles have been decided, and those who were interviewed today were just leftovers. When Andy came over, many staff members took the initiative to say hello to him, and Andy nodded in response.

Although he has become famous, Andy still maintains his original intention of providing entertainment to the masses and will not let it go.

Under the guidance of the staff, Andy opened the door and entered the conference room. He saw that there were three interviewers, producer Kevin Noe, director Jonathan Liebesman, and starring Sam Worthington.

Even though the producer is the biggest producer when filming a movie, sometimes the voice of the star actor is equally important. Sam Worthington is not only the star of "Clash of the Titans", but also the star of "Avatar 1".

He is now favored by many directors in the film industry. The problem is that he is not popular and the audience cannot remember him.

But these did not hinder his right to speak in the crew, but Andy felt that he looked at him strangely and seemed unfriendly.

After Andy sat down, the interview began.

"Andy, I believe you have seen "Clash of the Titans", tell me what you think of the last movie?"

The producer's first question made Andy a little confused. He is not the leading role, but only plays a supporting role. Does he need to understand so much? And the plot of this drama is very bad. Can he tell the truth?

"I think the action design and special effects of the previous movie were very good, especially the leading actor's role was very well positioned."

To be polite, I didn’t mention the criticized plot and cliched supporting character positions, such as Hades, the king of Hades, who must be the bad guy, Zeus, the good guy, the arrogant king, and the princess sacrifice.

Director: "Okay Andy, do you know the character Ares?"

"Thugs who only know how to kill."

After two satisfactory answers, the director and the producer looked at each other and said, "Andy, this role is paid $100,000. I need you to set aside three months from October to December. Are there any questions?"

Generally speaking, the schedule and remuneration are all communicated by the agent, but Andy has always communicated directly on the spot without an agent.

But three months to shoot a supporting role?

It takes up a bit too much time, and the supporting character Ares in this drama is very stereotyped. From this point of view, the price/performance ratio is a bit low.

"There is no problem with the remuneration, but I'm sorry, I have given all of October to other directors. In November and December, there will also be filming work for the first season of "Apollo". Can you set the specific dates for it?"

Hearing Andy say this, the producer and director frowned. Generally speaking, newcomers cannot ask for any conditions, but Andy, a new traffic, was named by investors, so they decided to temporarily invite An.

Dee comes in to do Ares.

Just as the two of them were frowning and thinking, Worthington on the side said coldly: "Andy, to be honest, I don't like working with popular celebrities who have no acting skills. It seems that the producer and director reluctantly agreed because of their face.

Interview you.

You need to know your position. Although you have made a mark in the TV drama industry, you have no position in the film industry. You are just a rookie!

With your attitude now, I am even less willing to cooperate with you, but I still give you a chance to lower your posture, Ares is still yours."

I'm so dizzy! Did I come here to be taught a lesson by this guy?

If it weren't for the fact that the embarrassment on the director's and producer's faces didn't look like they were being fake, Andy would have almost thought that these three actors were in vain.

"Oh, you can play by yourself."

Ignoring the call from the producer behind him, Andy opened the door and left.

After going out, Andy still felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly, and he felt that he had to find an agent as soon as possible. He could just let the agent handle these matters to avoid making himself sick.

"Worthington, you are just observing and have no right to express your opinion! How can I explain to investors like this?"

Not long after Andy left, producer Kevin Noe in the room started firing at Worthington.

Worthington said nonchalantly: "Everyone is trying to make this movie. I did what I should do. It is an insult to everyone that people like Andy Huang join the crew!"

After Worthington finished speaking, director Jonathan hesitated for a while and then agreed: "Yes, I think you can tell investors that Andy Huang's performance is too poor and cannot be used. We still have to stick to it."

Both of them objected to Andy coming in. Kevin shook his head and was about to tell the investor about this matter. Suddenly the phone rang. When he saw it was the investor, he quickly answered the phone and told the whole story of the interview.

At the end, he added: "Both the director and the leading actor are opposed to him joining the crew. Do you want to consider it again?"

The person on the other end hung up the phone immediately after replying. Kevin broke into a cold sweat and turned to Johnson and Worthington.

"Sorry you two, the crew is going to fire you."

Josena was stunned, and Worthington jumped up.

"What! Are you crazy? I'm the lead actor!"

St. Louis Film Company, after Lucian hung up the phone, he said to Selina on the side: "It's arranged, Kevin will contact Andy again."

Selena nodded and continued to scroll through Twitter.

"Selena, why did you help Andy Huang? He not only exposed the Nando family's life to the public but also indirectly caused Michael's death. Shouldn't this be revealed to Nadja and the others?"

Selena paused and replied: "No, Andy's people saved Nadja and the others. Don't reveal anything about "Vampire Life". It's just a reward for Andy. As for this movie, we must ask Andy."

Huang, the same thing.

I want to find a shelter for our vampire family. I still don’t understand what kind of existence that Wonder Man is, but his connection with Andy Huang must be very close. If it weren’t for the investigation, it was discovered that Andy Huang used to be an ordinary person and he was a film maker in the Holy Valley.

Yes, I even suspect that Andy Huang is Wonder Man, and it would be good for us to make friends with him."

Lucian nodded and said nothing, as if he really believed Selena's statement.

Selena looked out the window with an incomprehensible expression. When Lucian mentioned Michael just now, the heartache felt a lot lighter for some reason. Maybe immortal vampires are a little more indifferent than humans.

You can join the group. See the introduction for the group number.
