Chainsaw Crew Casting

Of course, the biggest reason is that Kevin is just a director who has not proven himself, so there is no need to cause conflicts between him and other film companies.

Therefore, the three companies have tacitly carried out price reduction moves.

Now, the director seems to want to make his final request, and they will also measure whether to agree to his request.

"I don't want a salary, but I want to implement a gambling agreement with you."

"Oh? Interesting, let's hear it?"

Dean spoke first.

Kevin stretched out two fingers with a serious face and said:

"The global box office is less than 20 million, I don't want a penny.

"Starting from 20 million box office, if it exceeds 20 million box office, I want 1% of the box office revenue, and then for every 10 million more, this percentage will increase by 1."

Dean laughed, such a gambling agreement sounded very interesting, and he could feel the ambition in Kevin's eyes.

Apparently, Kevin believed in his heart that his first movie would gross more than 20 million.

In Dean's view, the odds were no more than one percent.

It is theoretically impossible for an up-and-coming director to earn tens of millions in box office with a $1.2 million movie.

Therefore, this condition can be fully complied with.

"Okay, I promise you, but the upper limit is at most 5%."

Dean said with a smile.

In the words of the Chinese people, be careful to make the Wannian ship, even if it is impossible, he must prevent the possibility of overturning.

The 5% highest box office share determines that even if Chainsaw really explodes, the money allocated to Kevin will still not make New Line Cinema feel a pain.

"it is good!"

Kevin, who achieved his goal, shook hands with Dean, indicating that the cooperation between the two sides had been reached.

As for striving for more shares, it's still the same sentence, no one is a fool.

If the box office really does get $150 million at the box office as it should have, then New Line Films may have to give him 13% of the box office.

This huge benefit is enough for the New Line Film Company to turn its face and manipulate the overseas box office. In this way, he may not even get the benefits that he should have obtained.

5% is already quite a good result.

As for the Great Jazz and Great American Film Company on the side, Kevin has stopped watching it. He has already seen from the negotiation just now that only New Line Film Company is really interested in investing.

The other two seemed to accompany Dean to cooperate, and at the same time create a common pressure to prevent him from being too difficult to deal with as a young man.

The two sides reached a cooperation, and Dawson, who had not spoken much, stood up and began to discuss the specific details with Dean. After a few visits, an agreement was quickly signed.

In the end, it's just a small investment after all, and it's entirely up to Dean to decide.

If it is an investment of tens of millions, then it must be the entanglement of dozens of negotiating teams.

After the deal was reached, Dean quickly left the CAA building with two others.

In the room, only Dawson and Kevin were left in an instant.

Picking up the contract on the table, Dawson smiled slightly:

"Kevin, members of the crew? And the actors, do you have any arrangements here?"

Kevin waved his hand and said naturally:

"Except for a few positions that I have determined in the plan, you can arrange other people. If you are an actor, you can find some new actors to interview. If you absolutely adopt it, you can directly sign the agent contract on the spot."

"Okay, leave it to me Kevin."

Dawson's face is full of excitement, this is the power of the director.

A director's client can bring a large number of high-quality clients to CAA's agents, and if the director's film is very successful at the box office, it will have a chain reaction.

What he can do is to better serve Kevin in all aspects.

...

After Dawson went to the Screen Actors Guild to set up the Chainsaw Horror project, countless actors were able to see part of the Chainsaw Horror news from the Screen Actors Guild.

After learning that this was a horror film with a small investment, countless actors felt that they could get a chance and came to the interview place set by the crew.

The big crew, needless to say, but all the characters with names are selected by actors who have experience or have a certain performance experience.

It is often difficult for a pure newcomer or a newcomer with little performance experience to get such an opportunity.

On the contrary, small investment crews often choose new actors because they cannot afford too much remuneration.

For these new actors, a well-known role is often more important than money.

In this case, three days later.

Outside an office building near Hollywood, hundreds of people lined up outrageously. They came here for only one purpose, that is, to get an important role from the Chainsaw crew.

...

In the office, Kevin methodically looked at resumes one after another.

The crew is divided into two interview parts, one part is the trick in the play, which is being interviewed by the assistant director Dawson is looking for for him.

On the other hand, the most important roles in the film were interviewed by Kevin himself.

"Salma Hayek?"

Looking at the small photo in the resume and the name that seemed familiar but didn't remember very well, Kevin thought carefully.

At the same time, Salma Hayek also entered the room.

Looking at Salma Hayek in front of him, Kevin finally shines.

The more than ten women in front are far worse than Salma Hayek in front of them, not to mention on the resume, she seems to have won the Novella TV Award in Mexico in 1989. Best Actress and Best Newcomer at the Novella TV Awards in Mexico.

To be able to win the award shows that her acting skills are also good.

Best of all, these awards are not universal in the United States, arrogant Americans, do not recognize these awards.

Therefore, for Hollywood, she is a rookie actor, and the remuneration can only be calculated according to the rookie.

Kevin's only concern, though, is whether she'll let go in the show.

Although the scale will not be too large, that is, the dew point.

But it is also appropriate to give the audience some welfare or something.

....

Salma Hayek looked at the young director in front of him and stood up proudly.

She is full of mature temptations, especially a pair of big balls that have developed, which makes people have the urge to step up and grasp.

However, Kevin knew that this pair of balls could not be grasped with both hands.

It was also at this time that he finally figured out the future development of the actress in front of him.
