Chapter 71: move

"Will, the movie will be filmed in San Francisco. There is my place. At least you do n’t have to worry about me getting the crew lost." Looking at the stationery in hand. Will-Smith smiled and continued reading the paper. On the flying and beautiful text: "But, the reason I can make this movie is not just for this reason. I know, everyone said that the kid was too young, he should go back to the campus movie, he could not make a biographical movie. But I have to say that some emotions have nothing to do with age. At least 19 years old, I can already understand "I am not a child anymore, I know what it means to be hungry, what is attachment ..."
There is a small stack of letter paper on the desk, and there are more than a dozen pages. The long letter is full of sincerity, and the structured content and analysis are also convincing. Although in the recent days "Will-Smith has read this long letter many times, but every time he reads it, he will be very moved. Now he is like a mouse in the eyes of the producer, but it is magical. Believe him incomparably "the high sincerity is also unprecedented."
Although Wang Yang did not personally visit the house, Will-Smith had no doubt about his sincerity, and his sincerity was revealed in these letters. Yes, "not a letter." He would send a new one every few days. Several copies have been written. Will-Smith encountered this situation for the first time. After reading the last paragraph of the letter: "Trust me" "When Happiness Comes to Knock" will be a movie! "Will put down the stationery And looked at the thick script next to it
What made Will-Smith feel emotional, in addition to sincerity, there is this script. This is a very attractive script. The story is warm and touching. The lines are also very meaningful. This is the kind of thing that makes him read it again. Dasheng ’s excellent script. He opened the script and looked at the several pages with sub-lens design. Chris Gardner carried his son in the subway station ’s toilet for the night, and the floor was covered with paper towels. The middle son's ears, one foot supporting the knocked toilet door, weeping silently ...
This scene is awesome! Will Smith took a deep breath, and when he first saw "He was impressed, this picture had been entwined in his brain, and kept appearing before his eyes, even appearing in dreams. .
"Excellent script plus full sincerity" made him unable to refuse this invitation without hesitation, but he has considered it for almost two weeks. Is his concern still the magical young man who can direct this movie? In "Records" and "High School Musical", Miracle Young has demonstrated his ability to direct, but now it is a biographical movie. "This is a middle-aged story. Can Miracle Young make it? He really can't make up his mind.
Broker's opinion? Will-Smith shook his head scornfully. The wrong choices of "The Matrix" and "Blaze Wars" were due to his personal preference and the reason for the agent's miscalculation. The current situation is different from the past. Then this year's light director's case has no examples and templates, making it impossible for people to make comparative judgments.
In fact, he tentatively asked his friend Denzel Wentington's opinion, Denzel said "if it is me" I will not star, he is too young. "
A few knocks on the door interrupted Will-Smith's contemplation. He turned his head to look at the door of the room, and saw his wife Jada holding her arms around the door with her arms. Looking at that script? "Will-Smith nodded with a smile, turning the script and said:" Its story is very attractive, this is a very good script. Jada ... "He frowned and asked," Are you saying that I should promise Magical Yang? " "
"Jada shrugged" and said, "I don't know, Will, I originally asked you to play" The Matrix ", but you chose" Bao Feng Men ". "
"Please!" Will Smith had some dissatisfaction on her face. She was stingy and jealous. He shook his head: "Jada, I admit it was a mistake." So I don't want to come again for the second time. "
"You make your own decision, Will, and I can't tell." Jada said, and turned away.
Seeing his wife's back disappear, Will-Smith's gaze returned to the table. "He looked at the latest letter from Wang Yang, with the phone number Chris-Gardner at the end:" Will " You can talk to Mr. Gardner, maybe you will be more interested in this story. "Will Smith pondered for a while, then took the stationery and got up and walked to the phone" dialed the number on the paper "Road:" Hi, Mr. Chris Gardner? You, I'm Will Smith ... "
Next, Will-Smith listened to Chris Gardner telling his story, as well as some views on "When Happiness Comes to Knock", Chris Gardner said: "I talked to Yang that day After a long time, I can see that he has also experienced a lot. He understands my feelings and feelings. Martial Emperor Qiankun makes the sacred king and kills the of the night. The throne of the seals the throne. The Throne of the Immortal God of Thrones Nine Heavens Strongest Abandon the Young Da Zhou Clan's Martial Universe Qiankun Kills the God of the Throne of the Immortal Throne of Gods Great Abandonment of the Young Lord Zhou Clan Heaven is the strongest to abandon the royal family of the young and big Zhou. He is a great young man. I do n’t know much about movies, but I think he can make my story ... "
The two talked for a long time before ending the call. Will-Smith looked at the script in his hand. He was indeed more interested in the story. "The urge to appear in the role is also stronger. This is a truly touching story." He was impressed, and everyone else would. Will-Smith picked up the letters on the desk again and stood silently for a while. "He slowly made a decision.
"Well, Magic Young!" Will Smith nodded to himself. "He took out his phone and pressed a number." He smiled briskly: "Hi, Young? Man, you convinced me, I want to star in Chris. One Gardner. "
"Oh, my God! Ye!" In a hotel in New York, Wang Yang couldn't help raising his fist and waved, "Haha said excitedly:" Well, this is really a news "I'm so happy!" There is nothing like finding a movie The male lead is still happy? There may be many, but at this moment, Wang Yang is happily wanting to dance, he smiles and says: "This will be a pleasant cooperation" Ha! But Will, "You need to have more beard, and you will have to ask the makeup artist Get some white hair for you, it looks like a vicissitude.
Will-Smith started the second from the moment he made up his mind. "The mood becomes very like, laughing like singing R:" Yy, then I will not shave from today. I will grow white hair ... "
When Wang Yang put down his phone and looked at the flowers and plants of the beautiful Taobao women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao women's winter coat m on the balcony, he waved his fists in excitement again, wanting to imitate Will-Smith's improvisation. R, but found that it was indeed a gift of black people, anyway, he didn't have to end up with a few screams.
In fact, "Wang Yang is also trying one. He didn't personally interview Will-Smith. The first reason was that he didn't need an audition. The second one was sometimes interviews. He couldn't say clearly, and it was easy for the other party to lose patience. A long, personal letter was moving. Now it seems that his attempt was successful this time.
The most important actor has been identified. The shooting of "When Happiness Comes to Knock" can basically be put on the agenda, but there is another important role that takes time to find. That is the role of Chris Gardner's son. Originally, in the original version, this actor was Will's son Jaden Smith, but now Jaden is only a baby of one year and two months. Although in reality Chris Gardner quit his job and came to New York, his son was almost one year old: but in the movie, Chris Jr. must be as old as he is.
"This is a problem." Wang Yang thought frowning. The original Will-Smith father and son partner was a highlight. It was also very helpful for them to interpret the warm feeling between father and son. He suddenly thought of: "Wei Erxiang still has a son? And now he is of the right age and age? I do n’t know if I have any interest or know how to act ...,
Next, Flame Film Company quickly negotiated a contract with Will-Smith's agent. After a few days of discussion, "Will-Smith finally signed a contract with a pay of 15 million and a 5% bonus at the box office in North America. This contract can be said to be very generous for his current situation. For first-line superstars, box office dividends are the norm; but in terms of pay, Sandy and Pikes originally wanted to lower it, but Wang Yang stopped it. He was not willing to hurt his feelings for one or two million.
The most important point is that he feels that the actor ’s emotion is very critical. Only when the actor is truly content and fully committed can he play his best. Everything is focused on the effect of the movie.
As long as the actors’ emotions are high, he will not care about increasing the production cost. Besides, the cost budget for "When Happiness Comes to Knock" is 40,000 yuan, which is enough to include Will-Smith ’s 15 million remuneration. Too.
Will-Smith starred in the lead role in "When Happiness Comes to Knock"! ? When the media and movie fans saw this news on the official website of Flame Movies, they all looked at the calendar suspiciously. Oh, it's not a month, number? Well, this is not April Fools' News!
Then, everyone was in an uproar. Will-Smith fan fans were mixed with joy and disappointment. Some of them were fans. They did n’t think how bad the "Blaze Warrior" was. With Will in it, they were as interested now. Willa Magic Young, this combination is so attractive! But some fans are splashing cold water. Will Will be insane? Didn't the fiasco of "Fengfeng Men" let him learn a lesson? Turn around and join a 19-year-old director's biographical film? Shit!
This time Wang Yang's fans and female fans fought back. Will-Smith will soon take the worst lead of Jin Meimei, and now he is going to play the lead actor. "They are not happy yet! Yang should not be dragged into the water. Now!
The attitude of the media is almost representative of the attitude of the film industry, and the magic is crazy. "Will-Smith is also crazy! Of course, no one said it clearly, but the comments on the Internet revealed it." "Film" reported on this website The message commented: "Fantastically crazy, he invited an action superstar to play a biographical story." What is even more funny is that the actor in this biography is a stockbroker, not the boxing champion Tyson or Ali. Will we see a quiet, not funny Will? Are you kidding? "
"Will-Smith is also mad, and it seems that the" Windstorm "brought too much damage to him, so that he did not want to fight and be funny, and tried the acting way. But did he choose the wrong movie again? Ca n’t say that
When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door
is a magical improvisation, just maybe, but it ’s too tempting to look at his age. Will, good luck, Will!

Facing a doubt, Will-Smith and Wang Yang did not respond, nor did they need to respond. "When the film starts," the film crew will conduct an exclusive interview with the media for preliminary publicity. At that time, the fans' mood has already become reality and began to look forward to. The most important thing is to shoot the film! A large number of people took the lead in entering the cinema.
Wang Yang is still in New York. During this time, he is completing the split-screen script of "When Happiness Comes to Knock on the Door." At the same time, he is also involved in the acquisition of Blue Sky Studio. As early as more than two weeks ago, "Flame Films contacted Blue Sky Studios and proposed the first acquisition plan. The capital injection jumped 80 million and obtained 85% of the shares. The 68 million belonging to the flame film will also be used to produce" Ice Age " : In addition, it will not cut down the employees of the original company; in "Ice Age", "do not interfere with the creation of Chris Wicky."
This acquisition plan is much more generous than Fox "as long as Chris Wakee nods ~ EbookFREE.me ~ his shares will become 10%, and his net worth will suddenly increase by 8 million: there are also gill shares concentrated in technology Director Mike-Erinkis "and several technical backbones and senior management.
But Chris Wakee did n’t nod his head.
Compared to the 20th Century Fox, Flame Movies is just a small company. Small companies mean instability. If Flame Movies suffer serious losses in the past two years, they will have to lay off staff and sell Blue Sky. "It must be a very chaotic situation." It is also what he does not want to see: more importantly, if Blue Sky is acquired by Fox, they can get some technology sharing from the Fox animation department. If they are acquired by Flame Movies, they will not make any progress. .
Knowing his concerns, Max Rant obeyed Wang Yang ’s intention and raised the purchase price to 90 million. The money was paid in one lump sum, and it was stored in the account of Blue Sky Studio Company to ensure that the entire production of Ice Age was completed: And the paper promises that "Iceland will not cut down any one of the production team before the completion of" Ice Age ". In addition to producing" Ice Age ", they are allowed to carry out a number of technical research and development, and if necessary, they can expand the recruitment of employees.
This plan moved Chris Wakee, and now the negotiation has entered a decisive stage.
