This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 1020: Game of Thrones (asking for monthly ticket)
"Another reason why I chose him is that I accidentally heard that he adopted two Chinese orphans."

Guo Fan further explained.

This was the first time Hao Yun had heard of this. He frowned and said in confusion, "What does this mean? Adopting Asian or African children is not because they like Asians or Africans. It's mainly because the procedures for adopting European and American children are complicated and expensive. In comparison, adopting Asian and African children is economical."

He has been here for two years and knows a lot of things.

"I know, but from what I understand, the first child they adopted had a brain tumor, and the second one was an abandoned girl..."

Guo Fan explained briefly that he had auditioned with James Caviezel and had a good impression of him.

What moved Guo Fan the most was that James Caviezel actually brought his two adopted children back to China to see the place where they once lived.

It cannot be said that foreigners are more humane.

However, it is a very traditional concept in China that good people should be rewarded for doing good things.

Moreover, Guo Fan didn't have much choice.

If Michael Bay hadn't backed him as the producer of "The Accountant", many people probably wouldn't have known who he was.

James Caviezel also doesn't have many good options.

The two got along very well, so James Caviezel agreed to reduce his pay and star in the film.

The pay was not high to begin with, and now it has dropped again...

"That... still depends on how well he performs. Just cooperate well with the person you choose. As for the rest, take care of both if you can, but don't force it if you can't..."

Except for those guys who are clearly insulting and anti-China and who resolutely refuse to cooperate - even if they cooperate, the films cannot be released if they are taken back, the others are just fine.

"Don't worry, I know the importance of this. I heard that we are building a studio. Does that mean we don't have to go abroad to shoot Hollywood blockbusters in the future?"

Guo Fan was very well-informed.

"We can only solve the problem of some lenses, and we don't know when it will be completed. I need to find a chance to talk to Brad Grey."

Even if we build a studio, this play won't be able to catch up.

Therefore, Hao Yun is currently concentrating on filming "The Martian", hoping to wrap it up by the end of April.

"President of Paramount? Take me with you when you talk. I speak English very well now."

Guo Fan plans to assist his boss with his eloquent tongue.

"Let's shoot first. We'll work overtime tonight."

"Boss, please take a break first and just watch me shoot. If there is anything wrong, just remind me directly."

Guo Fan volunteered and behaved very servilely.

Hao Yun thought about it and felt that by asking Guo Fan to help with the filming, he could not only free up his brain to think about other things, but also discover and correct problems in Guo Fan's directing in a timely manner, so he agreed to his suggestion.

When working overtime at night, Sean Bean came to find Hao Yun. He didn't have many scenes, so he didn't have any roles today.

"Lao Guo, you watch first. Uncle Sean and I will go over there to talk."

Hao Yun led his people to the side and found a place to sit down. He had great respect for these veteran actors in the film industry.

Whether they are veteran actors from Chinese films or Hollywood.

These people always have some unique skills acquired through years of acting career, which allows Hao Yun to take advantage of them.

Sean Bean...

He has died quite a lot and has rich experience in acting out scenes involving death.

"Actually, I was asked by someone to tell me about this. There is an instrumental song in your album, which seems to be called "Northeast"..." Sean Bean knew that Hao Yun was very busy, so he went straight to the point.

"Yes." Of course Hao Yun remembered.

When this song was rewarded by the system, it was called "Main Titles", which means opening subtitles, main title, title subtitles, main book title, main subtitles, etc.

It can also be translated into the opening song.

In fact, it is equivalent to having no name, so Hao Yun gave it a name called "Northeast".

"I starred in a TV series called Game of Thrones at the end of last year, which was adapted from George Raymond Richard Martin's series of novels A Song of Ice and Fire..."

"Oh, I've heard of it. It's a big production." Hao Yun's eyes lit up.

A Song of Ice and Fire is a wonderful novel, which Hao Yun likes more than Harry Potter. He is also looking forward to how the novel will be adapted.

"They hope to use your music as the opening theme. I wonder if it's convenient for you." Sean Bean was also forced to do this. He is actually not good at this.

As for why they didn't talk to Hao Yun directly, it was naturally because they hoped to pay less copyright fees through an introduction by an acquaintance.

That bastard Nolan directly gave Hao Yun one million dollars, which made the price of Hao Yun's music go up suddenly.

"Game of Thrones" is now in its first season and has not been tested by the market. Generally, the budget is limited, and coupled with the high-quality production, it is natural that there are serious overspending.

The remaining money cannot be squandered any more.

If the first season does really poorly, there will most likely be no sequel.

So they thought about getting the music copyright at a low price.

Hao Yun's song "Northeast" is one of the most popular instrumental music in recent years and is Hao Yun's representative work.

If you want to use it as a soundtrack, it must be a non-trivial amount of money.

"It's not inconvenient..." Hao Yun understood the whole story in an instant and asked, "What price do they think they can come up with?"

Sean Bean will definitely give face, but if "Game of Thrones" wants to fly in vain, Hao Yun will definitely not do it.

We are not related to each other. I am a poor person living in a foreign land. How dare you treat me like this for nothing?

"5 US dollars..." Sean Bean was too embarrassed to ask.

Even if you offer $5 to hire a music student at the California Institute of the Arts, they may not be willing to take the job.

Of course, this is a huge exaggeration.

But for a world-renowned music creator like Hao Yun, 50,000 is indeed difficult to hire.

Even when selling "New World" to Bang Bang Lao, Hao Yun asked for a high price of 20 US dollars.

He is not short of the 20 yuan. Bidding is a science and is closely related to one's position in the industry.

However, Hao Yun did not directly reject "Game of Thrones", but curiously asked: "Is there an Iron Throne in the TV series?"

"Ah?" Sean Bean was stunned for a moment, but soon nodded and said, "Indeed, there is such a thing. After Aegon Targaryen I conquered the Seven Kingdoms, he collected the swords of his enemies and forged the throne using the dragon flames of Balerion, the Black Death."

"Have you ever sat on it? Is it comfortable?" Hao Yun asked again.

"The character I played, Eddard Stark, sat on it before, and it wasn't particularly comfortable. In order to remind himself and his descendants of the hardships of starting a business, King Aegon Targaryen I deliberately made the surface of the 'Iron Throne' uneven, which made it very uncomfortable for people to sit on."

Sean Bean has been filming with Hao Yun for about a month and knows that this talented director has a different way of thinking.

"Is it really made of iron sword?" Hao Yun was like a curious baby.

"Of course not, this throne weighs only 350 pounds and is about 7 feet 2 inches high. It is made of fiberglass and fire-resistant resin, and the entire seat is handmade." Sean Bean replied numbly.

Why ask so clearly? There's no way you're going to act in this TV series.

Even if you do, it will be difficult to get any important roles, and naturally there will be no chance for you to sit on the Iron Throne.

"Is that so? Then go tell them that they don't even need the $50,000. Just give me the Iron Throne and they can use the music as they please."

Hao Yun finally revealed his true intentions and stated his purpose.

When he read the original novel, he became very interested in some of the props in it.

The Prime Minister's pin, vintage playing cards, the Stark's wolf ring, the Targaryen's three-headed dragon ring, dragon eggs, dragon crystal, ruby ​​necklaces, and various weapons, but even if all these things were added together, they could not compare to the Iron Throne.

The entire Game of Thrones is a fight for the Iron Throne.

"But..." Sean Bean was a little upset and said quickly: "TV series are produced season after season. If I give you such an important prop, how can they continue filming?"

He originally wanted to say "us", but suddenly realized that he died in the first season, so naturally it was not "us".

"Simple, just ask them to make another one."

Hao Yun said nonchalantly that he was also a director and had collected a warehouse full of various movie props, so it was reasonable for him not to know about this.

Poor Sean Bean, he could only go to the Game of Thrones production team in a daze.
