The superstar starts from the termination of the contract

Chapter 1174 The Trustworthy Chinese People
After bringing Wu Xiaoyun here, Lu Fan has great confidence in this film that has not yet started shooting.

Although he can handle all the details in the movie, even the subtleties of clothing and color, and even obsessive-compulsive disorder can make him avoid any goofy shots, but for an action movie, if there is no suitable opponent to play with him, then Everything will be dull.

Lu Fan, who is well-versed in taijiquan, if he fights with an actor who has no martial arts background in the play, there is no doubt that the excitement will be greatly reduced.

No matter how good the martial arts instructor is, there is no way to turn an ordinary person into a master. At the same time, not all actors are like Chen Bo and Huang Yiyi. In order to make "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" well, they can practice hard basic skills.

Although Lu Fan felt that "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" was quite in-depth, the fighting scenes in it were also one of the movie's selling points, so he had to invite some people with real skills.

Even if Boss Ma is willing to spend money and invite all the action actors to accompany him in martial arts scenes, all the audience subconsciously feel that this is fake.

In fact, the box office doesn't matter anymore, and Lu Fan doesn't care much about making money from movies. It's not that he doesn't value money, because the result is inevitable. No matter how he shoots, the movie will be a big hit.

After bringing Wu Xiaoyun here, Lu Fan thought about it carefully, who else in the entertainment industry has a foundation in martial arts.

He could blurt out the names of many people, but the problem was that the other party didn't have time, it was because they were old.

In short, you can't follow his will.

Fortunately, the film has not yet confirmed the launch date, and Lu Fan is not in a hurry, he can slowly search and discover.

After hanging up Wu Xiaoyun's phone, Lu Fan quickly dialed Teacher Yuan's number. The other party was a gold medal martial arts instructor in the Chinese film industry. I don't know how many excellent action movies have his name in it.

Lu Fan recognized his strength very much, so he was hired to design every action show.

What Mr. Yuan promised was even more straightforward than Wu Xiaoyun. In his words, action movies are his ideal and pursuit. Looking at the entertainment industry, not many people are willing to make this subject. The appearance of Lu Fan made him see action movies. rise.

Young people who have not experienced that era will not understand how brilliant Chinese-language action movies were.

Teacher Yuan is already very old, and he doesn't know how long he can continue to be a martial arts instructor. It may be one year, two years, or even a few months to end his martial arts career.

In his limited career, Mr. Yuan is destined to seize every opportunity to let action movies emit the last residual heat.

He knew very well in his heart that it was obviously impossible to rely on people of his age to make action movies rise again, and he hoped that it could only be placed on young people like Lu Fan.

The last thing he could do was to agree to almost any request from Lu Fan.

Things went smoother than expected. Lu Fan wrote Teacher Yuan's name on the white paper in front of him, and an old friend joined him. Thinking about it, it's pretty good.

Isn't the combination of the golden iron triangle in the new generation of action movies the guarantee of movie quality?

Lu Fan temporarily set up a group, and brought Wu Xiaoyun and Teacher Yuan into it, and did not treat them as outsiders. Before the two parties signed the contract, they had already sent the script of the movie to the group, allowing them to watch it.

The signing of the contract between the two parties is just a form and process. Lu Fan trusts them very much and can share everything in the movie in advance.

A group of like-minded people gather together, and getting things done is their only goal.

Lu Fan was about to go to Xu Qing's office and chat with her for a few minutes. First, to discuss who would be the most suitable roles in the movie. Second, he was going to Shanghai tonight to hold a book signing.

As soon as he walked to the door, he remembered something again, turned around and sat down on the chair, took out his mobile phone and dialed a foreign number.

This number belonged to Thomas. When Los Angeles was promoting "Red Fan District", Lu Fan promised him and Bill that he would definitely cooperate with them in the next film.

In fact, even if "A Man Should Be Self-Strengthening" didn't ask them to cooperate, it could still be successful, but Lu Fan agreed to them at the time, which was equivalent to fulfilling his promise.

It's just that after this time, it's not clear whether there will be any intersection with them in the movie.

The overseas distribution rights of Lu Fan's movies will still be handed over to Bill's Kaimei Film and Television. The two parties are also business friends. Before there are conflicts and shame, he will not find other companies to cooperate with.

Besides, Bill's strength is obvious to all in Los Angeles. If the situation is big, this is also a win-win situation for both parties.

Distribution belongs to distribution, but Lu Fan will not help a foreigner increase his fame in his own movie for no reason.

Even though Thomas is recognized by movie fans all over the world as the successor to an action superstar, on China's side, everyone is relatively calm about it.

There was a time difference between China and North America, but when Lu Fan called, Thomas answered quickly.

"Hey, Lu, long time no see." Thomas greeted enthusiastically, obviously he did not expect that Lu Fan would call him today.

In fact, he was exercising, and he was sweating profusely at the moment, feeling very refreshed.

For young people, especially for stars like Thomas, there is no difference between day and night in what they do. They turn day and night upside down, the more excited they are at night, and they will have an inexplicable restlessness for no reason.

"Thomas, hello." Lu Fan replied with a smile.

"How are you doing? Is your little girlfriend okay? When will the baby be born? By the way, I've also listened to your album. It's really great!" Thomas asked a lot of questions, and then asked Lu Fan praised Lu Fan's album. Obviously, even though the two parties were separated by thousands of miles, he had been paying attention to Lu Fan's every move.

Lu Fan didn't expect this. It seems that this foreign friend is quite cute sometimes. At the Oscar award ceremony for the first time, Lu Fan's impression of him can be said to be extremely bad. He didn't expect to get along with him and feel pretty good?
When Thomas faced reporters and even some outsiders, his temper was very violent, which made him a superstar successor to the extreme.

However, when facing friends, Thomas is very enthusiastic and easy-going. Apart from his straightforward personality, he can't find any other faults in the rest.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Lu Fan has sufficient strength. If Lu Fan is really as vulnerable as their first impression, it is obvious that Thomas is still high above him, and he will not be so convinced by Lu Fan.

Lu Fan can't say whether Thomas' character is good or bad. In fact, the law of survival in this world has never changed, that is, the strong are respected.

Lu Fan answered his questions one by one, and finally said his purpose without too much nonsense: "Aren't you wondering why I called you suddenly? Forget it, let me just say it, I The filming of the new movie will start soon, so I want to invite you to act together."

Thomas was stunned for a while, as if he couldn't believe it at all, and questioned the authenticity of the matter.

But soon he realized that his doubt just now was completely unnecessary, because everything was true!
"Ah, what a surprise!" Thomas was very excited. "Actually, I have always wanted to act in your movie, but I never had the chance. I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

Lu Fan knew that Thomas had become his fanboy, and he made no secret of it.

In fact, he can understand how other people admire him so much. After all, if his personality charm is really nothing to say.

But a foreigner like Thomas, especially because he had a rebellious personality before, and didn't take any Chinese people seriously, after a short time with him, he also fell in love with him?

Even though Huaxia Kung Fu accounts for a large proportion of it, Lu Fan's personal charm cannot be denied just because of this.

What?
You say Lu Fan is narcissistic?

He can give real evidence.

In the system, Lu Fan's charm value has already exceeded one hundred. Doesn't this mean that his personality charm is almost at the point where everyone loves him?
"I told you last time when I was in Los Angeles, and I said that we definitely have the opportunity to cooperate." Lu Fan said with a smile. As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling face. Thomas has always been more polite to him. , now the other party is his little fanboy, so naturally he can't give others face.

"I thought it wouldn't be so soon. Didn't your movie just come out a month or two ago? Why do you plan to make a new movie?"

The speed of filming is actually related to personal reasons. Some people can make a film in seven days, but some people spend several years or even ten years, just to make all the details of the film irrelevant. picky.

Although Thomas is not considered the latter, his efficiency in making movies is almost one film a year. According to the average speed of the world film industry, it is neither fast nor slow.

"I just had nothing to do, and I had an idea in my mind, so I wrote the script. Do you have WeChat? I'll add you as a friend later, and pull you into my new group."

The English name of WeChat is We Chat, but Thomas has been using Facebook and Little Blue Bird, and the latter two software are more popular among netizens all over the world.

"No, but I can register for one right away." Thomas was very excited. Except for being considered by the media as the successor of an action superstar, he seemed never so happy again.

Since he was a child, he has been very fond of Huaxia Kung Fu, but he has never met anyone with real talents. Even those Chinese stars who have made their way in Hollywood, he feels that the other party is superficial.

The real Chinese Kung Fu is definitely not as rubbish as these people make it out to be.

Later, he entered the entertainment circle and began to show his strengths in action movies, and what Huaxia Kung Fu showed made him even more disappointed.

He even doubted himself for a while, whether Huaxia Kungfu was boasted by some netizens, but it was actually not as powerful as they said.

This was also one of the reasons why he provoked Lu Fan at the Oscar ceremony.

What happened afterwards was very simple and clear, and Thomas once again showed enthusiasm and expectation for Huaxia Kungfu.

"Well, let's just say this first. After you registered on WeChat, I will add you as a friend and pull you into the group chat. I will tell you about the latest arrangements in the group. Just pay attention to it all the time."

Lu Fan was short on time, so he didn't chat too much with Thomas: "Also, the movie may start shooting at any time, the specific time depends on the situation, you have to be prepared to come to China at any time."

Thomas said enthusiastically: "It's okay, I can go to Huaxia tomorrow, and then I will talk to my assistant, and he will arrange the rest."

Lu Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "There's no need to be in such a hurry, you should deal with the matter over there first, and then come to Huaxia to film with all your heart."

"What can I do?" Thomas was in a hurry. If he had wings, he would even wish to fly to China now. "In the days when there are no movies to shoot, I just play and play."

"That's all right. Later, you register for WeChat first, and we'll chat there."

"Ok."

Hanging up Thomas, he called Bill again.

The answer was also very fast, because the numbers they left for Lu Fan were all private numbers. Just like Lu Fan, there is a number that is switched on 24 hours a day, and anyone can call in at any time.

Stars and big shots like them have very little privacy space, and they can't find a quiet place if they don't leave more behind.

Sometimes they even want to simply go out for a meal, but they may not be able to do so.

After all, who can be so indifferent like those real big stars, wearing big pants, a vest, and a pair of slippers to eat at roadside stalls?
After Bill answered the phone, Lu Fan quickly explained his intentions.

The meaning is very simple and clear. I told Bill directly that I was going to make a new movie, because I promised that the two parties would cooperate again when I was in Los Angeles, so if the movie is released, the distribution rights in North America will still be handed over to Bill’s Cammy Films.

Although Bill was also very surprised, he didn't show it like Thomas did. He congratulated Lu Fan first, and then asked some questions on the sidelines.

Lu Fan naturally understood what he meant, so he had nothing to hide and told him everything.

Bill doesn't care much about the content of the movie. Now almost everyone has a tacit consensus in their hearts, that is, no matter how Lu Fan's movie is made, it will sell well at that time, and there is a high probability that it will become the box office of the same period. champion.

Even if Lu Fan's movie is a piece of shit, these fans will think it is a piece of chocolate that smells like shit.

Of course, with Lu Fan's aesthetics and talent, he will never disappoint fans' expectations.

This example is just to illustrate how Lu Fan's fans love and tolerate idols.

The reason why Bill asked so many details on the phone was because he was worried that Lu Fan would not call Thomas for the new movie this time. After all, when he was in Los Angeles some time ago, Lu Fan had promised that the two parties would cooperate.

It's ridiculous to think about it, a big boss of a Hollywood film company, even with an official background behind him, would be so flattering to a Chinese person.

Bill's purpose in doing this is very clear, that is, he hopes that through Lu Fan, his Kaimei Film and Television can eat China's film market.

Today's European and American movies are actually not very popular in China. Although Bill is not short of money, no one in this world would think that he has a lot of money, let alone such a big cake.

With the strength of Kaimei Film and Thomas, it is obvious that they can't win the Chinese market, and they can only accomplish all this through Lu Fan, the king of Asian pop.

So it makes sense that Bill cares so much about the details of the movie.

Of course Lu Fan knew what he was most concerned about, and after answering some of his irrelevant questions, he finally gave the answer he wanted to know the most.

"I just called Thomas and he happened to be free, so this time we will cooperate. As for what role he will play in the movie, it is not yet clear."

Bill couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Sure enough, Lu Fan kept his promise and fulfilled the agreement that the two parties would have a cooperation.

The whole world knows that the Huaxia people keep their promises very well. Before that, Bill even had doubts. Now it seems that he underestimated the Huaxia people and Lu Fan.

It is not unreasonable for this great country to still be able to stand in the echelon of the top powers after thousands of years of changes and changes.

Since Lu Fan personally promised that the new movie will be released by Kaimei Film and Television, and that Thomas will also star in it, then this time Bill will win directly.

Not to mention that Kaimei Film and Television can earn dividends from it, it is also an invisible blow to the remaining film and television companies in Hollywood.

Bill wasn't the only one in Hollywood before, but he had more power to speak. Now it seems that other people's strength will be eroded by him step by step.

Thomas is also an artist under his own banner. Although he now has a place in Hollywood action movies, he has not been recognized by Chinese audiences.

If he can have a brilliant performance in Lu Fan's movie, then he will be a big step away from conquering the Huaxia market.

Bill smiled heartily, and congratulated Lu Fan again, and then the two sides didn't talk much, so they hung up the phone.

Lu Fan recalled the conversation with the two people just now, and his impression of Bill was actually not as good as that of Thomas.

That big man is just straight-tempered and a bit short-tempered, but he doesn't have so many flirtatious things in his heart. It's not tiring to make friends with this kind of person.

But Bill is different, he has too many calculations, you have to beware of him and be careful of his every move, because you don't know when you will be betrayed and plotted by him.

It's exhausting to make friends with such a person!
Although Bill was very enthusiastic about promoting "Red Fan District" in Los Angeles before, Lu Fan always knew that all this was an illusion.

Lu Fan didn't take these people to heart. In the future, everyone will only communicate with each other for cooperation. Anyway, he can understand the contract in black and white, and there is no such thing as being calculated by Bill.

Lu Fan left the office and walked towards Xu Qing.
