Chapter 287 Crazy Heath Ledger
When Chen An landed in Los Angeles.
The crew's project launch conference has been completed, and we are just waiting to start filming.
"Chen, you came at the perfect time. If you had come two days later, you could have gone directly to Chicago."
"Let's not talk about anything else, you know, how much is the investment this time?"
Chen An didn't care about Jerry's complaint about being late, but instead asked with interest.
But Jerry heard a different thought, "What do you want to do?"
Could it be that the other party didn’t get enough of the last explosion?
The script this time is not simple.
"You guessed right." Chen An said bluntly, he just wanted to have some fun!
Sitting in the car, Chen An kept urging Jerry to speak, saying that he would know sooner or later and there was no point in hiding it now!
"1.85 million US dollars, but your fixed salary plus Bale's salary this time is million US dollars less."
Jerry finally had no choice but to speak and ask him to be gentler and not to use too much force.
Bruce's villa had just been renovated, and he was afraid that Chen An would not be able to resist making some changes and would blow up the house again.
Chen An just laughed and said nothing, which made Jerry frightened.
The car stopped in front of a high-end apartment and Chen An got out. This was the property Chen An bought last time. He also purchased some high-end apartments in New York and other places.
As for the rumored Beverly mansion, he was not interested in it. It was too expensive and would be difficult to sell when the time came. If he did not exit in time, his house would be confiscated.
"Chen, I just don't understand. You are so rich, why do you live in this kind of house? Why don't you buy a big villa in the mountains and ask me to drive an impromptu!"
Jerry asked curiously while helping Chen An move the luggage down.
Chen has earned hundreds of millions of dollars in Hollywood, but he lives in this kind of apartment. It's not that the difference is beyond most people, but it's still too bad for a rich man like him.
"I don't have any idea of opening an alien. I just need stronger security. There's no need to live in a big mansion." Chen An shook his head to show that he was not interested.
Of course, if my house isn't confiscated later, I would be quite interested in it. But now I have absolutely no idea about it.
Later, even the Asian racial subdivision method came out. It was so blatant. The last time it was used well was the German one. It was really magical.
Although Jerry didn't understand, he respected him and there was no need to call him "impart" anymore.
The three of them went upstairs together, swiped their cards in the elevator that went directly to the eighth floor. It was a single-family elevator that took them directly to the small compartment in their apartment. They pushed open the door and entered the room.
As soon as he entered the room, Jerry sat down and rested skillfully. "Hey Chen, I forgot to tell you that the Heath Ledger you asked me to find is really good. He looks really crazy and scary."
Jerry couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this. Heath Ledger's eyes were full of devilishness.
Chen An smiled but said nothing. This is called spending little money to achieve great things. He is not the only one who can act this role. Daniel Day-Lewis can also act this role. This guy is also an extreme experientialist. However, it is not only expensive, but he is also difficult to deal with. He only shoots a movie once every few years.
It's quite difficult just to find him to come out.
Heath Ledger is different. Not only is he cheap, but he has also passed the test successfully, so he is naturally the first choice.
Of course, if the other party refuses to film because of Li An's "Brokeback Mountain" this year, I will also consider changing someone.
After cleaning up, he sat on the sofa next to Jerry and said, "Every time I ask you to find actors, you question it, and then praise my good taste. I'm used to it."
"Who told you to always do unexpected things and cast some actors who haven't achieved success?"
Jerry helplessly scratched his head as his hair was gradually falling out. In Hollywood, performance is extremely important.
Especially those who have failed several times will hardly be selected again, and those who have never succeeded are not in the first consideration list. Standing up, Chen An looked at Jerry who was scratching his head and said with a smile: "Just trust my choice, I'll go get some wine, do you want whiskey, but without ice."
"Don't do that. It's better not to drink whiskey without ice. Besides, the fine in Los Angeles is quite high. I don't want to get caught when I drive back later."
Jerry shook his head and refused, and decided to leave as he was done with rest.
When he reached the door, he seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, by the way, your Chinese team had better come slowly. Don't come in a large group. It's too conspicuous. If the company finds out, it will definitely not allow it."
He doesn't care about these things, but the company certainly doesn't want to see teams outside of Hollywood stealing their ideas, even if it's impossible to learn them completely.
Even if they turned a blind eye to Chen An, they were unwilling to do too much.
Last time we were just filming the team, and we were definitely not allowed to touch on other things, so we could only learn in secret.
Chen An nodded, planning to arrange a batch first and then take it slowly.
"Batman: The Dark Knight" is still filmed in Chicago, in this real-life version of Gotham.
This time, there is no need to travel around the world, the main shooting location is here.
After joining the crew, Chen An met several old acquaintances, including old actors from the previous movie.
"Director, you said there would be a second part before, so I never stopped training. This time my efforts have not been in vain."
As soon as they met, Bell gave Chen An a big hug and thanked the director for choosing him and making his career so successful.
Last time the other party said there might be a second part, and I did not forget to exercise while filming other movies. Now that the second part has really started, I can be considered to have worked hard. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to train urgently if I had forgotten to film.
Chen An patted the other person's shoulder and said, "Hahaha, I told you to listen to me when we were filming. This is how it works in performance and it's also how it works in reality."
"But director, your script this time is really great, especially Heath Ledger's role. To be honest, I would rather get his script."
"I don't mind you talking to Warner and exchanging your pay."
"Never mind, actually wearing tights isn't bad either."
At this point, Bell immediately stopped talking. It was easy to take the 20 million US dollars, but it was not difficult to return it.
Chen An looked at the other person and smiled, then asked, "Where's Heath Ledger? I was busy this time and didn't interview him in person, so it's a good opportunity to meet him."
Bale said: "In the lounge, I heard that he locked himself in his house for a month after getting the script. Now he is a little deep into the play. When I saw him, it was like I really saw the clown in the script. I couldn't help myself."
Chen An sneered: "I see you are so immersed in the role that you want to take action before the filming even starts, Batman?"
"No need to talk anymore, I'll go in and take a look first."
After saying goodbye to Bell, Chen An chatted with Morgan and others again, saying hello after not seeing each other for a long time.
Walking all the way to the actors' private lounge in the studio, Chen An knocked on the door but received no response, so he could only turn the doorknob and push the door open and walk in.
The man in casual clothes sat on a chair with his back to him, muttering: "Chaos is the final destination. You and I are brothers on both sides, but we are one."
Chen An looked at the lounge where there was no one else. Was this the moment he transformed into his character?
Is this how you guys who are into experience play?
"Heath Ledger?"
Looking at the figure sitting in front of him with his back to him and muttering to himself, Chen An asked softly.
The man in front of him finally noticed the person behind him, turned around and saw that it was Heath Ledger!
Heath Ledger stood up when he saw Chen An coming, opened his arms as if to hug him, and said in a teasing tone, "Hello, Director!"
There was a smile on her bare face, a very ordinary smile, but Chen An felt it was a bit creepy!
