Ferguson's work is still very neat, but the news that comes back is not very good.

Hines's script was originally called "Substitute Actor", which told the story in the New York Theater, but it was picked up by Aronofsky as early as 2000. For some reason, Aro has never been The filming started, according to what Ferguson vaguely learned, it seemed to be related to Natalie Portman - Arrow wanted to find Natalie to play the role, but at that time she planned to go to Harvard to study, there was no such plan at all, so she declined Arrow, of course, this is a better way to say, the most likely thing is that the script was passed before Natalie was in front of him.

So, anyway, the script is in Arrow's hands now.

Daniel knew that the director of the original film was Darren Aronofsky, but this time, since he had already chosen David Fincher, it was impossible for him to direct. As for the producer or other roles, For an Oscar-winning director like Finch, Arrow really has no ability to restrain him. In the "Black Swan" crew, it is obviously impossible for Arrow to gain satisfactory influence.

Daniel finally let Ferguson contact him first to see if Arrow intends to sell the script.

He himself needs to explain to Natalie and David Fincher.

"There's something wrong with the script."

When Daniel was chatting with Natalie, he was a little embarrassed. Natalie was very embarrassed. He handed over the script here, and she soon agreed to participate, and the price was very fair - after all, this is a minority For a literary film, even the asking price of Daniel's level will not be on par with the commercial price, but Natalie gave a quite affordable figure.

"The right to adapt the script has been taken away by another director, so now we have to do some preparatory work before we can start this project." Daniel has no intention of breaking his head to explain why his "original script" has a twin brother Out there, so simply avoid the topic. "Don't you have an impression of this script? The new director named Darren Aronofsky seems to want you to star in this story very early."

"It's very early?" Natalie seemed to really know nothing, "I really don't have an impression. How early? I can ask my mother, many scripts were screened out at her level. already."

"It should have been four years ago. When you were about to go to Harvard or just entered Harvard, of course, it doesn't matter if you don't remember, we will try to negotiate this issue."

...

It's not difficult to get in touch with Aronofsky. Hollywood is indeed full of dreamers with unique personalities, but it is difficult for anyone trying to achieve success to refuse a call from some people - those who hold the audience, capital, and fame. Those who have succeeded in power figures. not to mention. There is no connection between the two.

Arrow's filming "The Fountain of Precious" was originally his first major production, with an investment of 75 million, co-starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. This is among the hundreds of films that Hollywood counts every year. It's already a high-profile group. But unfortunately, for some undisclosed reasons, Brad finally left the crew after signing the contract. Whether he paid the liquidated damages or not, Daniel is not sure. But at least on the surface, Arrow didn't speak ill of Brad. then. The Elf Queen Blanchett had to withdraw from the long waiting time because of her pregnancy - so far, the real lineup has been completely lost. This forced Arrow to make changes to the script. And Warner's decision to shrink the budget also led him to make a decision to make "The Fountain of Love" an independent film of course.

In any case, whether it is a mainstream commercial work or an independent film, when the male and female protagonists have chosen one after another, re-selecting the two leading actors is the top priority.

Daniel is certainly one of the best people - but not the best because he's too expensive, unless Daniel is willing to cut his own pay, otherwise 35 million - and the budget of "The Hangover". More than half of it will be used to pay Daniel as a paycheck. Even if Arrow was good at saving money, he couldn't make a decent movie.

Besides. It was impossible for Daniel, who was on vacation last year, to take on such a work.

So, naturally. "The Fountain of Love" passed Daniel, and finally went to Hugh Jackman's side, and the heroine locked on Rachel Weisz.

This "fate" is not enough to add confidence to Daniel, but it is quite useful as an excuse to come to the door.

Daniel did not intend to go out in person.

"The Hangover" is about to be released, and MGM is about to get to the bottom of it. Although "Black Swan" is a good project, it is not worth his personal involvement in every detail.

Before Ferguson found Arrow, he had a head-to-head with the original author, Hines. The enthusiasm of the other party made him sigh a little - if the script was still in Hines' hands, everything would be easy to handle. Unlike now, he didn't know what the new director was thinking. He could suppress the script. Five years on hand, just to wait for Natalie, really shows that this is a stubborn person.

...

The place where the two meet is very common, an unknown specialty cafe, whose signature product is Vietnamese coffee.

"It's too bad to drink, just like the skinny Vietnamese proprietress, it makes people uncomfortable." This is what Ferguson said when describing the scene at the time.

Before meeting, of course, the two had already communicated with each other.

As expected by Ferguson, Arrow rejected the request of dd Pictures to buy the script, and he gave two options: one is to invest in dd Pictures, he will shoot, and he must star in Natalie Portman; the other One option is to share 10% of the revenue from the script.

"He's just crazy~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Arrow began to explain the legitimacy of these two choices in Ferguson's shocked eyes. He has been preparing for this script for 5 years, and now dd Pictures wants to invest and choose him. The director is the most suitable. Although he still has a gap with some big directors, as the owner of the script, he should be given this opportunity. He has 12 points of confidence in himself. In fact, although he has not many works, But the response has been quite good, his directing ability should not be questioned. And if dd Pictures really can't accept him as a director, it should give him considerable rights as compensation.

"Ten percent is not a lot, isn't it? You earn 10 million and I only take 1 million. I think Daniel shouldn't be so stingy. This script is in my hands now, if I don't agree, you will pay a penny. You can't make it, can you?"

Ferguson had little interest in talking to him.

This man has a disgusting face, and is ridiculously greedy.

"Unless you're really going to give him ten percent, I don't think there's any point in looking for him." (To be continued)
