I became popular on the stage

Chapter 656 You want me to change the schedule?Sorry, no way! (Two in one chapter, please ask for a monthly pass)

Just the shape of a mecha gave Anthony a kind of heart throbbing.

Stunning.

Shocked.

Before that, it was not that he had never been exposed to mecha movies, and he even had a very good understanding of this kind of science fiction.But no mecha in any movie can have such a big visual and psychological impact on him.

It's just a 3D stick figure!

"If it is rendered and made into a movie, what would it look like?"

Anthony couldn't imagine.

Coupled with the fact that the plot looks pretty good to him, the film king is 60% sure that the filming of "Transformers" in front of him will definitely not be too bad.

Of course, just looking at the script can only give a rough idea, how good it is depends on the market.

But Anthony can be sure that "Transformers" is the best mech movie script he has ever seen, and it is several blocks away from "Altered Steel".Because he never thought that a mecha movie could be shot like this.

next to.

The agent Gener tried his best to calm down the turmoil in his heart, and then said: "Mr. Anthony, although Lin Xuan's script looks good, you should not accept it. After all, the risk is too great. And I read the script just now, There doesn't seem to be a role for you either."

With Anthony's status, he has basically reached the level where he can choose from the world's top scripts, and only the absolute protagonist is worthy of him.Although the script of "Transformers" is good, but Lin Xuan's strength is too weak, whether it can be filmed is still a problem, and the protagonist is a high school student, which does not match Anthony.

That's why Garner said that.

"Haha."

Anthony smiled and said: "Gerner, many things are not just on the surface. I don't have to play the leading role in order to talk to Lin Xuan."

Gener asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Anthony said in a deep voice: "Because in my opinion, if this "Transformers" can be successful, then it may overturn the downturn of Hollywood mech science fiction movies and become an era-breaking movie. Think about it, in this In the past, more than a dozen major directors in Hollywood have all failed in mecha movies, and many even concluded that mecha movies have no future. If "Transformers" can perform well, how much repercussions will it have? It doesn't even It depends on how high the box office is, and it only needs to restore the word-of-mouth of the mech movie to be considered a success!"

"..."

Garner was still hesitant.

Even though he was shocked by Optimus Prime's appearance just now, he still has deep doubts about Lin Xuan.

The stakes are too high.

Before the movie was released, no one was sure about its performance.

In case "Transformers" hits the street after its release, Anthony may encounter a serious word-of-mouth crisis.

Anthony smiled: "Gerner, don't worry too much... Even if it doesn't succeed, it probably won't fail as badly as "Altered Steel". I happen to owe Lin Xuan a favor, and it's just right to take this opportunity to help him."

"OK then."

Gunner just nodded.

……

……

second world.

In Lin Xuan's office, Huang Ming returned.

"Boss Lin, Anthony called and said he wanted to see you."

"Mr. Lin, Cyril's agent contacted me and said that they will come to San Francisco tomorrow."

"President Lin, Barron wants to talk to you."

"Mr. Lin..."

What Huang Ming didn't expect was that in less than an hour after the script of "Transformers" was sent out, those big Hollywood stars and big managers called one by one.

This made Huang Ming's heart skip a beat. Originally, he thought that even if Lin Xuan's script was good, it would be impossible to impress Anthony and other international movie stars. After all, what scripts haven't these top movie stars read?

But the development of things was beyond his expectation.

"The script of "Transformers" is so good?"

Huang Ming couldn't understand the script, and he didn't have much interest in mechs, so when Lin Xuan sent him the script, he couldn't figure out why after a few glances.

In his impression, the mecha movies are basically the same, with similarities and minor differences.

Unexpectedly, there was such a big response.

Lin Xuan seemed to have expected this, he smiled slightly: "Then make an appointment for me, and I will meet with them tomorrow. By the way, I have picked out some suitable for "Transformers" There are more than [-] North American actors, please help me call each one and ask if they have any intention of coming to audition."

"Ok."

Huang Ming took the list of actors written by Lin Xuan on a piece of paper, and glanced at it.

stunned.

Because he didn't see a familiar name in the movie, basically all of them were some low-level actors.

He said in astonishment, "Boss Lin, are all the actors unknown?"

I saw that the actors selected by Lin Xuan, let alone heavenly kings and queens, didn't even have a first-tier or second-tier star.

Lin Xuan spread his hands: "Famous actors won't come either. Anthony and the others can come because they have different visions and ideas, and they come here to repay my favor. Who would dare to come to other famous North American entertainers?" Taking the risk of being in my movie? So I'm just going to have to cast unknown actors."

"..."

Uh, Huang Ming choked.

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter, except for the male and female protagonists in this movie, the other characters are not important."

This is also one of the important reasons why Lin Xuan listed "Transformers" as the first Hollywood movie, because the main plot of the movie is basically a battle between two gangs of transformed autobots, and even the male and female protagonists are not conspicuous.

Its real core selling point is: Mecha!
Even the male and female protagonists were upstaged by the mechs.

In this way, Lin Xuan doesn't have to worry about the lack of actors in the first Hollywood movie, and only needs ordinary actors to support the whole movie.

……

The next day, ten o'clock in the morning.

at the Second World office in San Francisco.

Anthony is here.

Here comes Cyril.

Here comes Barron.

Adonis came.

All of them are Hollywood's hottest stars.

Everyone looked at Lin Xuan with deep shock.

Anthony gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Lin, you surprised me once. I didn't expect that your talent in movies is not weaker than that in music. There is no such movie script in Hollywood. But you took it Come out, I think it is the best mech sci-fi script I have ever seen. All the mecha settings are so good, of course, my favorite is Optimus Prime, in it, I see my own shadow."

Cyril said excitedly: "I like Bumblebee, it is really beautiful, and its shape surprised me. I never thought that a mech could be so domineering and mighty. And its character is very similar to me. I think this That's why I like it."

"Hey, stinky."

Barron shouted: "I think Megatron is handsome and handsome. This is the image of the villain I admire the most. It is too domineering and makes me obsessed with it. Unfortunately, I can only imagine it in my mind based on the sketch of Bumblebee." How mighty it is to play Megatron. Mr. Lin, I can't wait to know what it looks like."

Adonis: "Megatron is mine!"

Barron raised his eyebrows: "What did you say?"

It can be seen that Barron really likes the role of Megatron.

Lin Xuan had a smile on his face.

really!

As long as it is a man, no one can refuse Transformers.

And now it's just a mecha sketch that makes these Hollywood superstars fall in love with him. He can already imagine how great the mecha will be for everyone when the real appearance of the mecha is rendered, such as Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Soul shock.

blinked.

Lin Xuan said: "Thank you very much for your recognition of "Transformers". I don't know what they mean?"

at once.

The scene fell silent.

After a while, Barron frowned and said, "Although I think the script of this movie is very good, there seems to be no role that I can play."

Anthony shook his head: "Me neither."

The others also shook their heads.

No one fits the character profile.

There was only one person with a bright smile on his face - Adonis!
This [-]-year-old Hollywood movie star, who is about the same age as Lin Xuan, has a handsome face, standard Western blonde hair and blue eyes, and a height of [-] meters, which make him look like a proper high-quality movie star. Little fresh meat.

But regardless of how young Adonis is, he has starred in several Hollywood movies with a box office of over [-] million, and has become an international first-line movie star in just a few years. He can be called a young movie star with both acting skills and appearance.Because of this, Adonis became a top international movie star in a short period of time, and has a great reputation in Europe and America.

Many people even think that in five years at most, Adonis will step into the level of the king of stars.

"Haha, everyone, I'm sorry."

Adonis smiled all over his face: "In my opinion, the starring role of "Transformers" is almost tailor-made for me. So it seems that I have to do my part."

"No way, you are indeed the most suitable."

"Neither of us are old enough."

"For you, for you."

"..."

Everyone spread their hands.

On the contrary, Lin Xuan's eyes brightened. The ideal hero in his heart was Adonis. He didn't expect that the other party would bring it up before he even opened his mouth.

He hurriedly asked: "Mr. Adonis, are you really willing to be the leading actor in "Transformers"? You should know that this is my first Hollywood movie, and its future is uncertain. Once you agree to join the crew, there will be Undertake huge public opinion pressure, and even the risk of word-of-mouth collapse."

"Hey!"

Adonis smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, in fact, if I can come here, it means that my team and I have approved your movie script, so the problems you mentioned are not a problem. And there is no risk in shooting a movie." It's just a matter of risk. Taking a step back, based on my judgment, even if the box office of "Transformers" is not good after its release, its reputation will definitely not be good just because of its mech shape and plot story. It will collapse. So... I bet!"

In fact, when he said these words, Adonis still felt a little uneasy.

But in the end he made up his mind.

He trusts his own judgment.

Because in the film industry, taking on any film is a gamble, and no one dares to say that his next film will not hit the street.But now, he is very optimistic about "Transformers", and his team and the agency behind him have a very high evaluation of the script of this movie, so it is worth a try.

Because once he succeeds in the bet, the time for him to become the king of the film industry will definitely be greatly shortened.

Even if the bet fails, with the cool mecha shapes and the script in the script, he believes that word of mouth will not collapse.

Also.

Even if he made a wrong judgment, could it be that Anthony, Cyril and other big names all made a wrong judgment?

When a movie is favored by so many people, there is no doubt that its probability of success will be raised to another level.

Ok?
Lin Xuan fixedly looked at Adonis, and smiled after a while: "Then you are welcome to join us, I think you will not lose the bet."

Adonis also smiled and said: "I also believe that I will not lose, my luck has always been very good."

"Ah."

Lin Xuan nodded.

As for issues such as salary, schedule, etc., there are naturally professionals from the second world to negotiate with Adonis' team, so he doesn't need to bother.

He looked at Anthony and the others: "Mr. Anthony, although you don't have a suitable role in "Transformers", if you don't mind, I hope to invite you to play another role?"

"Oh?"

"What role?"

"please say."

Everyone was surprised, not knowing what Lin Xuan meant.

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Dubbing!"

"Voice?"

"what?"

"I actually forgot this!"

Everyone understood instantly, and their eyes widened.

Lin Xuan nodded: "You guys have read the script, and you should know that the real protagonist of this movie is actually a car robot, and the car robot is mainly composed of Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and Megatron. So if a few If you are willing, I hope to invite you to be their voice actors."

Anthony blinked, seemed like a good notice?

Especially Barron, with a look of joy on his face: "Very well, I happen to like Megatron very much, so let me dub Megatron."

Cyril: "Then I'll voice Bumblebee."

Anthony smiled: "Okay, I will be Optimus Prime."

It was just dubbing, and the three agreed easily.

It's just that they didn't expect at this moment that the IP influence of the future "Transformers" series would be unimaginably exaggerated, and then the voices of the three of them would surpass their own recognition to a certain extent.The popularity of the three has risen again in another field.

Of course, this is something.

At this moment, after the three of them agreed to dub the movie.

Anthony suddenly said: "Mr. Lin, I got some information before I came."

Lin Xuan snorted, "Please tell me."

Anthony said: "Did you have a little trouble with Director Langman before?"

Longman?

Who is Longman?

Lin Xuan was stunned.

Anthony reminded: "It is the director of "The Man in Black in the Abyss". I heard that last year in China, when "The Man in Black in the Abyss" was released, you happened to meet a movie that was released at the same time. You took advantage of your local advantages to make "The Man in Black in the Abyss" "'s box office was so crushed that it couldn't hold its head up, causing it to suffer heavy losses at the Chinese box office..."

Only now did Lin Xuan remember, and he frowned and said, "What's wrong with the other party?"

Anthony said: "I heard that because of this, Longman has been holding a grudge against you. He is shooting a movie recently, and there are my friends in the crew. My friend told me that when your new movie is released, Afterwards, Longman is very likely to target you to avenge his old hatred of being suppressed by you in China."

Lin Xuan smiled wryly.

If Anthony hadn't explained to him, he wouldn't even know who Longman was. Even when "Changjin Lake" was released on National Day last year, he didn't even pay attention to the box office of "The Man in Black in the Abyss".

But thinking about the strength of the opponent who could hit the 30 billion box office, in the end because he only got 12 billion box office, he would be full of resentment if it were him.

Well... I forgive Langman for his grievances.

After all, the other party did suffer huge damage because of him.If it was my own movie that encountered such a thing, I am afraid that I would have the desire to kill the other party.

Paused.

He asked, "Then how do you think Langman will target me?"

Anthony said: "Now the movie Langman is shooting is also a Hollywood blockbuster. The theme seems to be similar to "The Man in Black in the Abyss", right? They are all magical types. This movie has an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, which is considered a big production. My friend said Well, Langman intends to release his movie at the same time as "Transformers", and wants to use it to severely suppress the box office of "Transformers", and get back the suffocation he suffered in China."

"What? Langman is too much!"

"How could he do that?"

"Mr. Lin overwhelmed him at the box office in China, didn't he do it on purpose? Langman's mind is too small."

"..."

Hearing what Anthony said, Cyril, Barron and the others were all indignant.

Especially Adonis, who was so angry that he almost jumped!

What the hell, when Langman suppresses "Transformers", wouldn't it be the same as suppressing himself? !

Lin Xuan was equally astonished.

After a while, he said: "Mr. Anthony, can you communicate with Langman and tell him not to match my movie schedule. It's not worth it."

Anthony smiled bitterly: "Are you afraid too?"

In Anthony's view, Lin Xuan must have a guilty conscience.Longman is a real big director in Hollywood, who wouldn't be afraid to meet such an opponent?Although Lin Xuan had won against Longman in China, in Hollywood, the gap between him and Longman was not comparable at all.

When the two faced each other, Lin Xuan had no resistance at all.

however……

Lin Xuan rubbed his eyebrows.

What is he afraid of?

He is thinking of Langman, okay?

Although Lin Xuan didn't know what the movie Langman shot was and what the quality was like.But what he can be sure of is that if it is just a magical movie like "The Man in Black of the Abyss", then he will probably be crushed into scum in front of "Transformers".He really couldn't bear the old man to suffer another torture.

Adonis still said angrily: "It's too much! It's too much! He is a great Hollywood director, and he has the nerve to bully a Hollywood newcomer? No! I must go and talk to him."

I just agreed to be the protagonist of "Transformers".

In case Langman suppressed him.

No matter how good a movie is, there is no way to stand out.

Didn't he suffer a heavy loss?

"Cough cough..."

Lin Xuan quickly grabbed Adonis: "Don't be impulsive, let me solve this matter."

……

……

It was past two o'clock this afternoon.

Anthony, Adonis and the others all left the Second World. After all, it was still too early for "Transformers" to officially start filming. Even Guan Yuman had to wait half a month before coming over.

Of course, publicity still needs to be done.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Second World and "Transformers" officials sent out a message at the same time:
"Announcement: At present, the "Transformers" movie is progressing smoothly, and the most important male and female protagonists have been determined. Now I will announce the list of several important actors:

Actor: Adonis.

Actress: Guan Yuman.

At the same time, Anthony, Cyril, Barron... and others will play important roles in the movie. As for the roles, they will definitely surprise everyone when the movie is released. "

message sent.

The global film industry was shocked.

Everyone looked at this list and was a little confused.

what's the situation?
Anthony?Cyrillic?Barron?Adonis?
God!

There are so many top movie stars in the international film industry, but they all appear in the cast list of "Transformers"?
What the hell is going on here?

Doesn't it mean that Lin Xuan's mecha movie is destined to hit the street?How did he get those top actors?
fans.

Basically, many people are dumbfounded.

"real or fake?"

"Adonis will be the leading actor in Lin Xuan's movie?"

"Oh my God?!"

"Can Anthony go too? He is the most famous actor in the film industry today."

"I do not believe!"

"Not to mention Lin Xuan's movies, even many big Hollywood directors can't gather this lineup, right?"

"It's incredible, how did Lin Xuan do it?"

……

Hollywood director circle.

Everyone looked at the list and looked at each other.

"Lin Xuan invited Adonis?"

"Not only Adonis, but also Anthony, Cyril, Barron..."

"Is there something special about this movie?"

"Hehehe, how special can a mech movie be, no matter how special it is?"

"I see, Lin Xuan must have used his power!"

"Yes, he was even willing to spend more than [-] million to acquire the bankrupt Tyron Company. So he must have paid a high enough price for Anthony and the others to agree to appear in the movie."

"It must be so."

Everyone thinks they have figured it out.

It must be that Lin Xuan paid a lot of money that was much higher than the ordinary film salary, which moved Anthony and others.

After all, no one has trouble with money.

Even if you know it's a bad movie, but if someone offers Anthony a salary of [-] million yuan, do you think he will go?

but!

Someone sneered: "Lin Xuan really thinks that a good movie can be made by spending a lot of money? He really thinks that Hollywood blockbusters are made out of money? He really thinks that as long as popular movie stars like Anthony and Adonis star in, the movie can get high ratings." Box office? Hahaha, it's ridiculous!"

Langman, who has been following Lin Xuan's movie news, sneered when he saw the announcement of the second world: "Pay a lot of money to hire a Hollywood superstar as the leading role? What does Lin Xuan think of a Hollywood movie? Does he think this can get a high box office? Well... then I will use my movie to tell it what a Hollywood movie is!"

at this time.

His cell phone rang, and when he looked at it, it was a strange call.

Hang up casually.

But soon the other party called again.

After repeated several times, Langman finally connected impatiently: "I don't care who you are, now I'm shooting a movie, you should pay the price for disturbing me."

The next second, a familiar voice that appeared countless times in his dreams sounded: "Mr. Langman, hello. I'm Lin Xuan."

"..."

Langman never expected that Lin Xuan would actually call him.

After being stunned for a while, he said lightly: "So it's Mr. Lin, sorry, I'm busy, goodbye!"

To Lin Xuan, he had nothing to say at all.

This old man is full of resentment.

"Hey hey...don't hang up."

Lin Xuan quickly said: "Mr. Langman, I have something to discuss with you."

Langman said lightly: "What's the matter?"

Lin Xuandao: "Mr. Langman, I heard some news. Is your new movie intended to be released together with mine?"

Longman said: "Why, can't it? When my movie will be released, that is my freedom."

Lin Xuan sighed, and said, "Mr. Langman, I didn't say it's not your freedom, but I still suggest that your movie release date be staggered with mine, because..."

The voice did not fall.

Langman laughed loudly: "Mr. Lin, are you afraid? Think about when you were in Huaxia, wasn't your film very capable? The filming rate was over 50%, and you forcibly snatched all my film filming. But I Let me tell you, your method will not work internationally. In the international film industry and Hollywood, you will not have your country, ethnicity, and local advantages at all. Everything depends on the quality of the movie! Only really good movies , in order to have a high box office. Instead of engaging in those national righteousness and official enthusiasm to increase the box office. So it is useless if you beg me. If you have the ability, make a good movie that can confront me squarely. And now, You want me to reschedule? Sorry! No way!"

Snapped!
Langman hung up the phone.

High spirits.

Lin Xuan was left in a mess in the wind.

He shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Originally, Lin Xuan felt that he had no grievances with Langman. Last time, it was indeed because his movie caused the box office of the other party's movie to suffer an unreasonable disaster. He couldn't bear to see Langman being abused again, so he kindly discussed it with him.

But now...

Forget it, since this is the case, it seems that Langman can only be beaten again, hoping that the other party will not have a nervous breakdown.
