Chapter 90 Pretending to scramble
"Martial Arts Superstar (self-conceived)" Chuck Norris replied to Wintraub's call. He would not play a karate coach who did bad things and encouraged students to take the initiative to attack others. He hoped that Ronald would change the script and change the character of Cobra Gym coach Chris to a person who concentrates on martial arts and ignores the psychological needs of those weak children.
Wintraub recounted the response of Chuck Norris who he was optimistic about, to Ronald, "He told me something. Just like Ameriga's military operations in South Vietnam, he could not take the initiative to beat others, but to protect himself and people with the same values, limited violence is necessary. He called him the necessary philosophy of violence."
"We might as well change an actor. It's better for the villain to use an unknown actor." Ronald took the opportunity to say his thoughts. If Chuck Norris's facial paralysis is really allowed to play the role of the owner of Chris, how can he play close-up shots?
"Yeah, but Chuck Norris is very famous in the 'Dragon and Tiger Fight'. Many kung fu fans know him. If he comes to act, it will increase the box office a lot." Wintraub's celebrity collection habit has come again...
"Well... let's take a look." Ronald did not directly oppose Wintraub's idea. Since he began preparing the movie, he had already figured out the psychology of this Jew. If there is no authoritative person to endorse you, it is best not to directly oppose him. It is easy to arouse his aggressive personality and never give up until he achieves his goal.
"Cometre Night" was officially screened in theaters after twelve weeks of screening. Atlantic began to settle the first period of income for investors other than Ronald, in addition to dividends. Roger Coleman, Minahan Golan's Cannon Films, and Ronald's friend Douglas Jr. all received the first check to double the investment.
The box office revenue of 27 million makes everyone look forward to the next check that includes box office dividends.
"Cheers" The Atlantic Company opened champagne in the conference room. Ronald came to sit and took the check for Douglas, endorsing it and handing it to his friend. Roger Coleman's new company currently has not produced many new films, and he is very idle, and he comes to get the checks in person. Minahan Golan is very busy and only sent an accountant representative to attend.
"Why are you feeling sad? Is the new film not going well?" Roger Coleman asked Ronald.
"I'm looking for an actor who knows martial arts and has acting skills. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to perform martial arts. The producer wants Chuck Norris, I really can't stand it."
"What's the matter? I recommend two to you."
Roger Coleman has made countless exploitation films and also made kung fu themes. He recommended two actors, Martin Cove and David Carladin.
Martin Koff is a real martial arts black belt, who has practiced Taekwondo and Tiger Boxing. David Kaladin is the protagonist of the top-notch TV series "Kung Fu" in the 1970s.
Both actors have appeared in Roger Coleman's movie "Death Speed 2000", and are two racers participating in Death Speed. Another racer is now even more famous, which is Stallone.
David Carladin is more famous. He sent two pages of shooting requirements through his agent, which were filled with the conditions he had to meet on the set. For example, there was a separate trailer, and the makeup artist was not allowed to enter the trailer without permission. Everyone must remain calm about him wandering around the trailer naked...
Ronald immediately deleted Kaladin from the list and met with Martin Koff. To be honest, Roger Coleman was reliable. Martin Koff, who was born in an exploitative film, showed his professionalism in every move. His tiger-moving boxing particularly interested Ronald.
In Chinese martial arts, there are tiger fist and crane fist that imitate animals. These two karate philosophies can be expressed in the final decisive moves and will be more popular with the audience.
Ronald asked Martin Koff to go back first, and wait until the time is right before formal audition, and then pushed him out to Wintraub to see. Then he told Martin Koff not to take on other auditions for the time being and wait for his good news.
Cove is very happy that he has not made theater movies since Roger Coleman sold the company.
When Ronald returned home, he took out the Sony betacam camera again, wondering if he wanted to take another video of Cove, and then accidentally showed it to Wintraub. However, after using the move once, the second time may not be effective.
I was thinking about countermeasures, how to make Wintraub give up facial paralysis, Chuck Norris. The phone ringtone was thought.
Before he could turn to the automatic answering machine, Ronald picked up the microphone and said, "Hey, I'm Ronald. Who is it?"
"Ronnie, I'm Minahan, why do you want to steal my contracted actor? If you like him, you can come to me as a director? I'll always be waiting for you."
"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? When did I steal your actor?"
"Ronard, we are old friends, I'll just say something. Chuck Norris..."
"What? Chuck Norris is your actor?"
"Yes? Cannon signed a film contract with him, and we will work with him for three movies. But his agent told me that he might take over a Colombian teen action movie, guess who is the director who is the one who kills love?"
"Then isn't it me?" Ronald was excited. "Hey, Minahan. Do you want Chuck Norris so much? Why didn't you tell me earlier? My producer just recommended him to play a major supporting role."
"Don't do that. Chuck Norris is the leading movie star of Cannon. Are we relying on such male stars to sell box office?"
"Okay, I'll go to your office tomorrow and let's talk in person."
Ronald was happy when he put down the phone. He just wanted to kick Norris, so someone took over immediately. Isn't this a coincidence? Gu Zi
The next day, Ronald came to the cannon office. Minahan Golan was waiting for him.
"Ronard, Chuck Norris, you don't snatch it from me."
Minahn took out a stack of posters, which were full of photos of Chuck Norris.
"You want to make so many movies for him?" Ronald took it and saw five or six movies, with Chuck Norris holding a bazooka, holding a heavy machine gun, and holding a ninja dart.
"Hahaha, of course not. These are all posters, and I didn't say I must take pictures."
"No, why don't you shoot these posters?"
"That's all to go to Cannes to cheat... no, I'm going to invest." Minahn took the poster back.
"Our movie investment is no smaller than your Dragon Hard, but the production cycle is faster, so don't compete with me for Chuck Norris' time. He's more promising in cannon shooting."
"Why do you think so much about him? I read the poster, he is the male lead." Ronald suppressed his smile and asked seriously.
"He is a master of kung fu who works with Bruce Lee. If Bruce Lee hadn't passed away unfortunately, I would have asked them to make another ten or eight movies."
Minahn talked about the reason he signed multiple film contracts with Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris once served at the Mid-Jiang Goryeo base and introduced the karate heritage there. The Goryeo version of karate is called Tang Shou Do (tang soo do).
After getting to know Bruce Lee, Norris added some of his own understanding of martial arts to Don Shoudao and founded "Chuck Norris Way", abbreviated as Chuck Norris (chun kuk
Anyway, these Amerika’s martial arts masters will establish their own martial arts sect after they become successful and famous, and will give them a name pronounced by East Asian, ending with "Dao (do).
"You and Chuck Norris have not signed an exclusive agreement. It is entirely his freedom to choose which movie he chooses. We can follow the rules of Ameriga, just compete freely." Ronald pretended to want Norris to participate.
"Then you can't fight me."
"Is that so? What secret weapons do you have?"
"I can't tell you. But as long as you can compete freely, I'll be fine. We will only offer the price once, and see Chuck's own choice. Don't raise the price again after that. What do you think?"
I'm fine, but what I said doesn't count, the producers write checks.
"Just agree. I know that he is Jewish and will not bid repeatedly with me. As long as you don't mention it, Chuck Norris is the only one."
"Then let's make up that." Ronald shook hands with him, indicating that he had reached a gentleman agreement.
"By the way, now the 'Comet Night' is out and the copy is empty. How is your overseas release?"
"Hahaha," Minahan Golan laughed happily, "Ronard, your movie was very good. I magnified the two beauties on the poster, plus Comet, which was sold well in Cannes. Even Japan, Goryeo, and Xiangjiang, bought copies to show.
Next year, next year you must go to Cannes with me. Only when you get there will you know what audiences around the world taste about America movies.”
Soon, Chuck Norris updated the conditions again, hoping that Wintraub and Minahan Golan would release the conditions and bid for one-time bidding. Whoever has the better conditions will participate in which movie.
Wintraub went to prepare for the bid, and someone scrambled for Chuck Norris, making him feel like he had made the right choice.
Martin Koff called Ronald again, and his agent found him another audition opportunity and asked Ronald when he could audition here.
Ronald once again guaranteed his chance, suggesting that as long as he came, the role was his, and asked him to turn off other auditions.
After reading the script, Koff really wanted the role of this karate coach so that he could fully display his martial arts skills. So he refused other auditions arranged by his agent and waited for Ronald's call.
Chapter completed!
