It solved the troubles of "Red Sorghum" and the summer mood was very good.

What made him even more exciting was that the screenwriters of the planning department handed over the scripts of "The God of Death", "The Death Express" and "The Hangover".

After careful review of Xia Tian, ​​he selected several of the good scripts, and prepared to let the screenwriter concentrate their highlights and form three better scripts.

At the same time, Long Mayer has also invited director, starring, supporting roles and behind-the-scenes staff for "Sniper Telephone Booth".

Director, he invited Weiss Craven. Weiss Craven is the screenwriter and director of the well-known horror film "Ghost Street". He created the famous Nightmare Ghost King Freddy.

Wies Craven is good at shooting thriller films. His other masterpiece, "Scream", is also a very well-known horror film series.

After learning that Weiss Craven was coming to direct "Sniper Phone Booth", he was very satisfied. Because he had watched the "Ghost Street" series and the "Scream" series in his previous life, to be honest, it is a classic in horror films.

Weiss Craven is good at setting up the atmosphere, playing people's hearts, and skillfully manipulating the audience's emotions, which can always scare them to the point of being pissed.

In "Sniper Telephone Booth", the killer who remotely controls the protagonist through the phone and the sniper rifle is very similar to the talker Freddy, a talkative gangster who abuses children in his dreams. Therefore, Xiatian must be sure that Weiss Craven can make this drama well.

The starring actor Long Mayer invited him to recommend John Travolta, whom he had previously recommended. John Travolta was very popular in the late 1970s for "Grease" and "Saturday Night Fanatic" and was once known as the "Dance King".

However, time has changed, because the movies starring loses box office successively, large production companies dare not use him anymore. He can only play the lead role in some low-cost movies and consume popularity.

So now I heard that Columbia Pictures had a new film asking him to shoot, and John Travolta agreed immediately. Because if no one invited him again, he might be bankrupt.

John Travolta likes to talk about pomp. Although it is out of date now, he still drives a private plane and drives a luxury car, swaying around the market, living the same luxurious life as before when he was popular.

However, his current income is incomparable to the popularity of his time, so he is so full of money, which leads to his appearance, but his wallet is empty in private and his debts are high.

So when he learned that someone asked him to film, he didn't even ask what he wanted to perform, so he nodded and agreed. However, the pay was very high, and the lion asked for five million US dollars.

"Let him die. It's a bad guy. It's good if someone is willing to invite him to film. Why are you pretending to be a big name?" Xia Tian cursed when he heard this.

In the 1980s, the pay of stars was not as terrifying as in later generations. Even big names like Harrison Ford had a pay of only tens of millions of dollars.

John Travolta has long been no longer a first-tier star, and his popularity has declined quite sharply. Moreover, because he had made a big hit movie before, he has overdrawn his box office appeal, so he is now mixed with praise and criticism, and his popularity is at most equivalent to the level of a third-tier actor.

If Xia Tian hadn't invited him because his acting skills were not good. Even so, Xia Tian would have taken great risks. Because if the audience was dissatisfied with John Travolta and brought his prejudice to the movie, it would not only not promote the box office, but could also fail the box office.

Therefore, John Travolta wanted a $5 million payment under this situation, which seemed like a daydream in summer!

"Tell him, $500,000, don't you like to act or not," he said at last.

"Is this price a little too low?" Long Mayer couldn't help but stutter when he heard this.

Although John Travolta is out of date, his national popularity is still there. After all, he was still a national male god ten years ago. At that time, he received the highest salary of tens of millions of dollars, and was one of the highest paid male stars in Hollywood. Even if he is in a downturn, to be honest, it is not too much to get a salary of one or two million dollars.

"You show him the script and tell him that it is his chance. Because it is a good script, it is also destined to be a successful movie. If he doesn't seize this opportunity, he will miss the opportunity to turn over." Xia Tian said to Lang Meyer, "Let him think clearly whether to ask for a pay or an opportunity. Let him reply in person, because I don't have that much time to spend with him."

"Oh, OK." Long Mayer nodded when he saw Xia Tian's attitude so firm.

"By the way, the scripts of the three movies, "Hangover", "Faith Express", and "Death is Coming" will be polished soon." Xia Tian reminded Long Mayer again, "Remember to help them find actors."

Long Mayer nodded and suddenly realized that he was very busy.

In addition to these four movies, there are two TV series, one variety show, and the marketing department will release two more videos... He needs to deal with these things, which is almost making him busy.

But Long Mayer is a person who likes power. Now he is taking care of these things, and he is so happy that he is so powerful. So he doesn't feel tired at all, but is excited and fighting spirit!

...

Long Meyer then found John Travolta with the script. He did not talk about the pay, but gave the script to him first.

John Travolta took the script and read it carefully. The script has been polished by Long Mayer and has basically been considered a complete version.

After reading the script, John Travolta raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Ronald, this is a very good script."

"I know." Long Mayer nodded, "John, you have finished watching the script, and you should know that this movie is a very good opportunity for you. If you can participate in this movie, you will definitely become famous again, cheer up, and become a first-tier superstar."

When John Travolta heard that he said so, he nodded in agreement.

In fact, he is not without acting skills or fame. The main reason is that he has made too many bad movies before, which makes the audience feel bored. If he can make a good movie now, he will probably be able to reverse everyone's opinion, change his image, and become a first-line star again.

"So I hope you can reduce your pay as much as possible and don't shout that high." Long Mayer said again.

"Ronald, five million dollars, is it still high for me? I was paid tens of millions of dollars before." After hearing what Long Mayer said, John Travolta, who was originally smiling, suddenly turned dark and he said depressedly.

"I know. But you also know that my Columbia Pictures is in a bad situation now and the finances are tight. It's very difficult for me to ask for so much money." Long Mayer also complained, "So please understand us too. It's better to ask for less money."

"Don't lie to me, I'm reading the news. Your company just got a loan of $150 million, how could it be that there was no money?" John Travolta waved his hand.

"Hey, although $150 million sounds like a lot, it's not enough to spend it at all." Long Mayer hurriedly said, "The company is big, and there are too many places to spend money, so it's really not rich."

"Okay, then I only have three million dollars, that's OK." Seeing that he said this, John Travolta saw that the script of "Sniper Telephone Booth" was really good, so he took a step back.

"It's still not possible." said Long Meyer.

"Then how much do you want me to reduce?" John Travolta asked angrily.

"To be honest, our company is only willing to pay $500,000." Long Mayer said the truth.

"Five hundred thousand dollars?! Are you humiliating me?" John Travolta said furiously. His previous salary was tens of millions of dollars. Even if he was out of breath now, he would not be beaten to death. Five hundred thousand dollars, even a slightly famous TV star can get this salary now.

"John, don't get me wrong, I don't have this idea." Long Mayer waved his hand.

"No need to explain, 500,000 US dollars is absolutely not allowed." John Travolta said unhappily.

"If this is the case, there is nothing we can do." When Long Mayer heard this, he said regretfully, "John, I'm sorry, we can only choose someone else to play."

"..." John Travolta was a little panicked when he heard him say this. The script of "Sniper Telephone Booth" is really good, and he really doesn't want to miss it.

"Ronard, we are friends, can't you help me fight for it?" He looked forward to looking at Long Mayer.

"John, to be honest, this price was not set by me, but by Mr. Xia." Long Mayer said again, "If I set it, I will definitely be biased towards you."

"He is just the chief art officer, how can he decide the pay?" John Travolta asked in confusion.

"Because he lent the money, he also needs to go through his consent in terms of expenses. This is the agreement reached when the loan was borrowed." Long Mayer made up a lie.

"Damn it, you're a vampire!" John Travolta couldn't help but curse, "Okay, I promised him the conditions, but I won't be the case!"

"Ok!"
