After listening to Zhou Shaoming's words, Ben looked surprised. His mouth was so big that he could fit an egg in it. At this moment, his face was full of disbelief. After a while, Ben grabbed his own

My head said in disbelief: "Oh, boss, what you just said, can you say it again?"

Zhou Shaoming was speechless, stretched out a finger to shake it, and said with a smile: "No, your boss, I'm very busy, so I don't have time to say these words again. You go back and prepare quickly, and write this script

No matter how perfect it is, we must hurry up in the early preparations and try to solve it within this month. You don’t have much time, come on! When Fatal ID starts filming, Spartan 300 will also be launched at the same time!”

Although this was Ben's first time directing and filming a movie alone, Zhou Shaoming didn't give him much time. If he wanted to seize the opportunity, he had to work overtime while others were sleeping.

"Okay, I understand." Ben nodded seriously.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Zhou Shaoming stood up with a smile, shook hands with Ben, and said encouragingly: "Okay, you go prepare for the early stage of the movie first. Whether the first shot of Supernova Pictures can be launched depends on the whole process."

It’s on you.”

"Okay, I will try my best! Thank you, director." After thanking him profusely, I walked out of the office.

After Ben left, Zhou Shaoming read his script. After reading it for a while, he felt that there was no problem with the script. Jon had already contacted more than a dozen special effects production companies, and Zhou Shaoming was ready to choose a few to cooperate with.

Maximize the visual effects of 300.

The time is tight and the tasks are heavy, and the special effects production department of our own is only beginning to take shape. It is impossible to complete such a grand and epic movie alone. Therefore, seeking help from a special effects company is unavoidable.

300 is not just like any ordinary movie. In his previous life, Zack Snyder used special visual effects in the style of American comics to show this originally bloody and violent movie to the extreme. It is so unique.

The fresh, oil-painting-like picture brings an unforgettable visual expression and a subversive impact on the aesthetics of violence.

After much deliberation, Zhou Shaoming decided to take this technique even further. As for the people who produced special effects, Zhou Shaoming thought of the Industrial Light & Magic company he had worked with before. When filming Resident Evil, Zhou Shaoming had worked with Industrial Light & Magic.

Cooperation. Now there is no problem in finding Industrial Light & Magic to work together again.

Special effects! Special effects! This is a necessary film shooting department for super blockbusters in the future. It has become the heaviest stone in Zhou Shaoming's heart.

However, the establishment of the special effects department cannot be accomplished overnight. For now, let's choose the actors first. In my heart, I am still undecided about who to choose as the male lead.

Just when Zhou Shaoming was thinking about it, the phone in Zhou Shaoming's office suddenly rang. Zhou Shaoming answered the phone, and it was Jon calling.

"Boss, I have already contacted the actors on the list you gave me. They are all available these days, so I have arranged a meeting for you. The earliest is noon today."

After listening to Jon's words, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but sigh at Jon's high efficiency in doing things, and he even made appointments with people in such a short period of time.

"Well, okay, thank you. Who do you have an appointment with at noon today?"

"It's the first person you wrote to, boss, Gerard Butler. I made an appointment with him to the Nottingham restaurant next to our company. I think it's time for you to have lunch now, and you can save some time by the way. Boss, you

Just go there."

"Haha, ok." Zhou Shaoming smiled.

Gerard Butler, who played a very good role in 300, is currently playing a small role, and after 300 ushered in the biggest breakthrough in his film career, he did not soar into the sky and is still lingering.

In addition to Hollywood's top movie actors.

In fact, Zhou Shaoming is not very interested in starring Gerald in this movie that is based on his dream. What he is paying attention to now is not just the movie in front of him, but the career of this movie star in the next ten years. He hopes

Movies can create stars. And stars can also contribute to and protect movies.

Although Zhou Shaoming was not very optimistic about Gerard Butler as the male protagonist, Zhou Shaoming still put him on the list because he would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. Now he naturally wanted to go and see him.

Whatever happens, if it really impresses you, you can decide later.

With that said, Zhou Shaoming hung up the phone, and then looked at the time. It was already past twelve o'clock. After being busy for so long all morning, time naturally flew by. At this time, he was indeed hungry. Zhou Shaoming

He put on his suit and walked out of the office.

While walking, Zhou Shaoming also called Christina and told her that he was going to meet the actor today and asked her not to wait for him to go to dinner with her.

Christina was very sensible and told Zhou Shaoming not to worry about her, just go and do the work. With a confidante like this, what else could Zhou Shaoming be dissatisfied with? After a few sweet words, Zhou Shaoming hung up the phone with a smile and walked out of the company.

.

Nottingham Restaurant is right next to Supernova Pictures. Zhou Shaoming and Christina have eaten there several times, so they are naturally very familiar with it.

I entered the restaurant with ease, and then found the seat that Jon had reserved. Fortunately, Americans are not very particular about lunch. They can kill lunch with just a sandwich, so even if the meal is set at this mid-range level,

In the restaurant, Zhou Shaoming didn't really care about the guests he wanted to invite.

At the moment, there is already someone waiting in this small box. This person is naturally Gerard Butler, who played Leonidas before Zhou Shaoming traveled through time. The 32-year-old Gerard doesn’t have any trace of anything on his face.

There are no signs of aging, but there is an indescribable perseverance, which is a temperament unique to American tough guys, and Gerald also has a beard, which reminds Zhou Shaoming of Leo in the movie of his previous life.

Come Nida.

Leonidas in the movie also looks like this, except that in the movie Leonidas only wore a red shirt, but now Gerald is wearing a crisp suit.

Although it closely matched his impression of King Leonidas, Zhou Shaoming only felt that something was missing from Gerald.

Perhaps what is missing is the accumulation and accumulation of a film career.

A man's charm does indeed become deeper with age. Gerald's appearance has not yet reached the unique and mature charm of a man in 2005. It can be seen that those four years of hard work are really indispensable for a movie actor.

Less.

No matter what, the necessary etiquette is indispensable. After thinking about it, Zhou Shaoming smiled and stretched out one of his hands and said with a smile: "It's an honor to meet you. I am Zhou Shaoming."

Gerard quickly stood up, held Zhou Shaoming's hand and said, "It is my honor to meet the famous father of chainsaws."

Feeling the solid strength coming from Gerald's hand, Zhou Shaoming laughed loudly, and then said: "Mr. Gerald, please sit down."

The two of them sat down and ordered two more steaks and some snacks. Zhou Shaoming was not very picky about lunch. Although he was used to eating Chinese lunch in his previous life, it had been more than two years since he traveled back in time, so it didn't matter if he was used to eating Western food.

While waiting for the meal, Zhou Shaoming began to chat with Gerald, but most of the discussions were about non-formal questions. According to Zhou Shaoming's plan, formal questions would not be asked until after lunch.

, now take advantage of this period of time to establish a good relationship with Gerald.

However, because Gerald was not very famous at this time, the other party's attitude was always cautious. After all, he was facing the father of Chainsaw, a phenomenal director who is currently in Hollywood. Zhou Shaoming has made many actors famous.

, he knew it very well, and Gerald also saw the 300 Spartan Warriors propaganda parade on TV, and he also had some impulsive and uncontrollable thoughts in his heart.

This morning, he suddenly received a call from Jon. His mood could only be described as flattered. Looking at the previous promotional lineup, Gerrard had enough reasons to believe that "300" would be a success.

The results will definitely be much higher than those of other movies!

If he can be the leading actor in this movie, he will definitely become an instant hit. This is why Gerald went to Supernova Pictures as soon as he received Jon's call.

Unlike Hollywood female stars, it can be said that it is difficult for male stars in Hollywood to become famous in the early stage. If they are female stars, they may become popular due to their outstanding appearance and figure, but male stars are different. There are very few male stars in the industry.

People can achieve very high achievements when they are young, but many people only have the opportunity to become famous when they reach middle age and have accumulated enough personal charm.

Zhou Shaoming's eyes were as bright as lightning and he could get all of Gerrard's data at a glance.

Comprehensive evaluation: He has a tough appearance and is suitable for iron-blooded male characters. His potential is average and requires a lot of film shooting experience to grow.

Oh, this is really a bit of a coincidence. Gerard needs a lot of acting experience, but his potential is average. His own film company has just been established. Spartan 300 is a work that cannot fail, and as the protagonist, Gerard is given

It's not a big problem, but it won't add any extra points to the success of subsequent movies produced by Supernova Pictures.

Therefore, Zhou Shaoming secretly considered Gerald as an alternative, and did not directly tell him that the interview was unsuccessful or anything else. He just chatted with Gerald casually and casually with the idea of ​​getting to know more friends instead of a simple interview.
Chapter completed!
