When he saw the script Xia Tian pulled out, Long Mayer was stunned and then asked in surprise, "Mr. Xia, why is this?"

He has started preparing for "Future Water World". He has already chosen the actors, but he has only not signed a contract. This actor is Kevin Scottner, the hottest golden boy in Hollywood today. He is simply the most dazzling star in Hollywood.

In 1990s, Kevin Scottner directed and acted in the classic western film "Dancing with Wolves". The film was shortlisted for eleven Oscars and won seven of them. He even won the Best Director Award of that year for this film, which shows Kevin Scottner's talent.

In 1993, that is, last year, Kevin Scottner and powerful American singer Whitney Houston co-starred in "Body Guard". This movie caused a sensation around the world and is known as one of the most touching love movies.

In addition, he also starred in "Assassination of Kennedy", "Robin Hood", "Perfect World", etc., both box office and reputation are very unusual.

People say that he is the most outstanding newcomer in Hollywood after the summer.

The reason why Long Mayer is preparing to invite him is due to his talent, and he hopes that he can lead the movie "Future Water World" to a box office miracle.

But unexpectedly, Xia Tian directly rejected this movie that he had high expectations, which really made Long Mayer very confused.

...

"This movie is too investment and is not suitable for shooting now." Xia Tian waved his hand.

"Future Water World" tells the story of the large melting of glaciers on the poles of the earth, causing the entire earth to become a vast ocean, and people can only live on floating artificial islands.

It can be said that this is a very good doomsday story. If it is well filmed, it is no less than "Mad Max 4" which once caused a box office storm in his previous life.

In addition, "The Future Water World" also discusses environmental issues such as global warming and glacier melting, and includes the struggle between human nature and bathing under the doomsday. It can be said that the artistry is also very sufficient.

The only thing that is troublesome is that the shooting cost of "Future Water World" is too high.

Although doomsday movies have appeared on the screen a long time ago, such as "Mad Max" in the 1980s, many of them are "wasteland" movies.

That kind of movie can be filmed in desert no-man's land, or in abandoned factories or towns, which is very easy in the United States.

However, "Future Water World" is to be filmed at sea. The sea environment is much more complicated than on land. The sea breeze and waves will affect the shooting of the movie. If the typhoon is repeated, the entire set may be destroyed.

"Future Water World" was filmed on the sea in Hawaii. Because the artificial islands built are often affected by sea breeze and sea water, they are often encountered with major typhoons, which has caused the budget to rise.

The original design only cost five million US dollars, but the final set cost hundreds of millions of dollars. The total cost of the entire film also reached an astonishing $270 million, which is more expensive than filming "Titanic".

But its box office is less than one-fifth of "Titanic", so naturally I won't be able to vote in summer.

However, he knew that the script of "Future Water World" was still good. When computer special effects technology develops again in the future, he might invest in it when he can shoot "Future Water World" in the studio.

...

"Boss, although the investment is a little bigger, our lineup is strong and I believe we can recover the cost." Long Mayer advised unwillingly.

"Okay, since you are so confident in this movie, then you can take the money to shoot it yourself." Xia Tian smiled slightly when he heard him say this, "In the end, the branch will just need a little release fee."

"..." Long Mayer was stunned, then shook his head, "Then let it go."

He has confidence in the box office of the movie and does not dare to take risks with his own money.

Xia Tian smiled when he saw that he refused.

He knew that Long Mayer refused.

Taking risks with the company's money, losing is the company's loss, and winning is the company's vision. If you make a profit, you will not lose money, so there is no such good thing.

"Let's put this movie aside for now. When the technology matures and the cost is reduced, we will consider shooting it." Xia Tian reminded him again.

"Yes, boss." Long Mayer nodded helplessly.

"By the way, how are you going to shoot the movie "Jedi Men"?" Xia Tian asked curiously again.

"I'm going to ask Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence to shoot," Long Mayer said later.

"The Super Detective of Beverly Hills" filmed by Eddie Murphy in 1984 hit a very high box office, and thus became the first first-line black movie star in the United States. This changed the fate of black actors being only worthy of being supporting roles. After him, the status of black actors in Hollywood has been rising steadily, and more and more movies participated in starring.

But to be honest, Eddie Murphy's career has declined a bit in the past two years. The box office reputation of "Forty-Eight Hours of Passing the Sky" and "Love Slayer" starring him are not good.

Film critics commented that he was an old dog and could not play new tricks, thinking that he was always repeating his performance and lacked novelty, which naturally made the audience lack the opportunity to buy tickets to watch the movie.

The audience was also very bored by his repeated performances day after day, thinking that he had already finished his talent and was unwilling to see his face on the screen again.

But despite this, Eddie Murphy is still the most outstanding movie star among black actors in Hollywood, and still has a strong box office appeal among black people.

Martin Lawrence is one of the black stars who have become famous in recent years. He is a film, television and musician. He acts in both movies, TV series, and records. He also has his own late-night talk show. He can be said to be an all-round talent.

The reason why Long Mayer chose him was because he was attracted by his talent.

"Remove Eddie Murphy, he has no market anymore." Xia Tian waved his hand.

He knew that Eddie Murphy was a good black actor, with both acting skills and funny skills, but unfortunately, it was not the same as me. The future belongs to the new generation. Although "old men" like him still have room to continue to shine, there is no need to be the starring actor.

Just like the most popular singers in the mainland in the 1990s, although they all have great singing skills and are handsome and beautiful, they can't compete with others in the New Century when compared with young actors.

It has nothing to do with strength, it is purely the fault of time.

As far as he knows, Eddie Murphy has been on the decline since the year of Hachino in his previous life. Although "The Fatty Professor" was briefly revived and also dubbed the "Monster Shrek" series, he was basically willing to become popular again and was unable to make the world come true. "The Jedi Men" was handed over to him, and the box office may not be popular.

"Who do you want to invite?" Long Mayer asked in confusion.

"Will Smith." Xia Tian smiled slightly.
