New York 1988

Chapter 181 Casting (for Subscription)

Regarding Han Sheng's influence, the "New York Times" still has some things that it dare not write.

For example, the military enterprises he controls, such as the Bald Eagle Security Company, are now doing military work, and after the victory gymnasium is opened in every place, a huge profit network has been formed.

Even, all the information on the Internet, knowing your identity, your family, where you are, where you have been, what your preferences are, etc., etc., those things are too scary.

That, is a secret thing.

At least, no one dares to say these things at the moment.

It's the end of May, and the summer vacation has begun. Han Sheng's eighth English album is finally released in anticipation of the fans.

Originally, Han Sheng was going to release the main title first, but because of the Disney and Richard governor election, it was a bit late, so he released the album directly.

Originally, the main track was "Somebody That I Used to Know", which was the top single for eight weeks, but it is gone now, but it is worthy of being a cowhide single, which strongly repulsed "Someone like You" and "Somebody Like You" in the same album. "We Are Young", "Locked Out Of Heaven", "Rolling in the Deep", etc., have airborne singles chart champion.

Then, it is also a routine operation for the album to be airborne to the top of the album chart, but what is surprising is that this album directly sold 500 million copies within a week.

You know, these days they don't sell much records, and the big guys only release records for the sake of singing in concerts.

It never occurred to me to simply sell records.

What's more, 500 million a week, this is an album, even in the 80s and early 90s, it would still be a king-level sales volume.

Therefore, "Rolling Stone" immediately expressed its worship.

"I find that many singers now complain about piracy without moving their hands. Too many people go to music websites to listen to songs, but never think about how their own music is?"

"Vincent, known as the 'King of Hollywood', his eighth album has finally arrived late, but all the waiting is worth it.

I think every song in it is the best, although I actually like "Rolling in the Deep", which is really great, of course, it's not that "Somebody That I Used to Know" is bad, I said , every song is great.

Ok, I seem to have strayed off topic.

Vincent's eighth album once again demonstrates his great appeal. At the same time, it also tells us that someone is willing to pay for real good music. If you don't sell well, you should first look at your records Is it rubbish, yes, I am talking about those guys who complain about the bad market at every turn. "

"Entertainment Weekly" didn't even want to face, and directly wrote, "Vincent, eternal God!"

Of course, this album is really awesome and of good quality.

Not only was the media blowing it up, but the subsequent wild sales and fierce competition on the list were also particularly eye-catching.

In the first week, "Somebody That I Used to Know" airborne champion, in the second week, "Rolling in the Deep" squeezed it out of the top position, and then, in the third week, sorry, the seven-week champion "We "Are Young" worked hard and went straight to the championship.

Then, in the fourth week, damn it, "Locked Out Of Heaven" was dissatisfied with the sixth-week top single, and then also grabbed a championship. Only "Someone like You" fell to the second position again aggrieved.

Then, in week five, "Rolling in the Deep" came back, and then in week six, "Somebody That I Used to Know" came again.

The scary thing is that in the next four months, all the songs in Han Sheng's album will be scrambled for, and usually three or more songs occupy the top five at the same time.

This is the real awesomeness. It really proves that every song in Han Sheng's album is a masterpiece.

However, that is after four months of evaluation.

Now, four weeks later, at the end of June, Han Sheng's Mandarin album was finally about to be released, and then he brought Tess with him and returned to China.

Like English albums, Chinese albums are also super popular. "Chapter 7 of the Night", "Qilixiang", "Love Call Transfer", "Jiangnan" and so on are also strong on the music charts.

Especially in China, piracy is really crazy, but Han Sheng still easily sold more than 1000 million in a week.

Of course, he really didn't want to make money by releasing a Chinese album.

Firstly, I like to sing, and secondly, I am influential.

Therefore, in terms of publicity, he did not travel too many places, but instead focused more on business, such as the site selection and development of Disneyland in the Mainland and so on.

At the same time, he had another meal with Lin Donglai.

This person has entered the game now, but he is still young. He has a bright future and is more powerful than the original time and space.

"Some people say that your industry is everywhere, and you are a capitalist, so you are very worried!" Lin Donglai said with a smile.

"Then you still come out to have dinner with me," Han Sheng was also amused, "In the United States, many people said that I was red, and then that I was a spy. Mr. George told me this a lot, saying that he I can’t stop it, some people are just staring at me!”

Lin Donglai laughed and looked at him with emotion, "Maybe you are too successful!"

Han Sheng shook his head, narrowing his eyes slightly, "I'm so rich, some people can't help thinking carefully, wondering if they can overthrow me, and then directly rob me of my things. A while ago, a reporter contacted me , Said that there are black materials about me, and asked me to give money...!"

"Your Yanhuang bloodline is indeed an original sin!" Lin Donglai also nodded.

"Yes, many years ago, Victoria said that I just put on more layers of armor on the outside. After removing it, the inside is still red. After that, people who are interested will keep watching!"

Lin Donglai gave him a serious look, but said nothing.

Some things, at this level, you can't ask, you shouldn't ask, just talk about your heart.

So, I just said: "Here in the capital, Disney, what do you think? It is unlikely that there will be a place within the Fourth Ring Road, and it will easily cause congestion. Therefore, although the city government is very eager, it is also somewhat helpless!"

"Then go outside the Fourth Ring Road." Han Sheng shrugged freely, "Tongzhou is fine!"

Han Sheng remembered that the later Universal Studios was in Tongzhou.

It’s only 03, and the fifth ring road is far away, so Tongzhou is outrageous. Lin Donglai was startled, “That’s not necessary, it’s too far away,” he also breathed a sigh of relief, “The city government is afraid that you will For the land within the fourth ring road, that thing doesn’t talk about money, it just talks about demolition and construction, it’s too troublesome, but Disney has a big influence...!"

"Disney will change its name in a few days!" Han Sheng smiled.

He bought them all, and it is impossible to let Disney have a name, the other party does not deserve it.

He also used this to expand his reputation.

"Oh!" Lin Donglai was not surprised, probably thought of it a long time ago.

Han Sheng has only looked at the locations of the capital, Shanghai, and Hunan Province, and he has only roughly looked at the locations of the three places.

The main reason is that he is afraid that if the foreign devils from the United States come over, all kinds of lions will open their mouths, which will make it difficult to deal with. Therefore, he made a decision without hesitation, and those guys would not dare to be presumptuous, otherwise, they would kill them directly.

After his investment in the early years, the domestic development is better and faster than that of the original time and space, and it has probably reached the level of 08.

Whether it's high technology or infrastructure, it's all awesome.

Of course, at this point, the United States is even more vigilant.

Therefore, Han Sheng didn't stay long, just took Tess around for a month, and in early August, he returned to New York.

Mainly at this time, the matter of buying Marvel for 30 billion dollars has been settled.

Then, next, we have to arrange the development of "Iron Man" and other films, and finally make it into the Marvel Universe and make "The Avengers".

Of course, in addition to this, the "Transformers" and "Twilight Saga" series need to enter the development stage of the film.

The former is not like the original time and space, where it was jointly developed, and in the end all the money was earned by the toy factory. Tess directly bought it with violent money and spent only 20 billion knives.As for the latter, it is an adaptation of a novel written by Han Sheng himself.

Then, "Avatar", "Inception" and the like will also start.

The former is mainly 3D technology, which still needs a period of time to develop. Well, this is mainly the digital technology company that filmed "Lord of the Rings" before, and continues to invest in development.

As for "Inception", it's not that troublesome.

In order to plan for the next few years, especially the matter of the Marvel Universe, there are more things all of a sudden.

"This "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is also pretty good!" Murphy took a script with a smile.She thinks Han Sheng is suitable.

"If you want to act, I will act!" Han Sheng teased her.

"It's a deal!" She likes this cool feeling, but in fact, apart from being cool, the plot is a bit weak and old-fashioned, especially similar to "True Lies".

"Then do you have any plans for next year?" Murphy was still looking forward to his acting in a movie.

That's totally the mentality of a small fan.

""Inception" or "Iron Man", the latter has too many special effects, it's actually boring," Han Sheng thought for a while.

"'Twilight' is fine," Murphy said with a smile, "You are the most suitable to play the charismatic vampire!"

"I'm already 30 years old," Han Sheng shrugged.

"Vampires are also very old, but they just look young, or they look young, but you also look young!"

The two quarreled for a while before Han Sheng began to look at the list of actresses that Murphy brought over, whether it was "Transformers", "Twilight", or even "Inception" and "Iron Man". ", all need a certain amount of heroine.

Especially "The Twilight Saga", which is a super big IP, so, after Beyond Entertainment issued a notice to recruit actresses, girls all over the world went crazy.

"Emma Roberts, this is Julia Roberts' niece, right? She was born in 91, how old is she now?" Han Sheng was very dissatisfied with the list that was put in based on relationships.

"Didn't you say two years of filming? After two years, you will be almost the same age," Murphy giggled. It was the list that Tess put in. In other words, Julia Roberts was very good at it, and Tess also Could not bear.

"It won't be 16 in two years. I hope the actress is at least 16, or 18 would be better!" Han Sheng curled his lips.

Then I saw the information of Megan Fox,
"86 years, 18, the age is appropriate, but the skin tone is slightly chocolate, it may not be suitable for "Twilight".

However, in the original time and space, he was the heroine of "Transformers", so this can be considered! "

Thinking of this, he put it aside, and Murphy picked it up curiously, but didn't say anything.

"Ellen Page?" Han Sheng was startled, mainly because this girl looks like a little girl, but she will act like a man in the future.

Murphy didn't know, so he took it over and looked at it, and said with a giggle, "It's quite cute!"

Han Sheng really wanted to say, "It looks old and cute now, but the way he is taking is a tough one, and men can't stand it." Of course, the middle may still be straight.

However, Han Sheng didn't care about these.

In the original time and space, Ellen Page was the female supporting role of "Inception". Moreover, this girl is really spiritual and has great acting skills.

Therefore, I also put it aside, and we will see the situation at that time.

"Elizabeth Olsen?" A member of the Olsen family, Han Sheng smiled and held up the information, "Is this my mother's favor?" His mother has some friendship with the Olsen family, or the other party is very fawning .

Murphy chuckled, "Auntie quite likes this Miss Olsen, although her two older sisters are very strange!"

In 89, it was only 14, and it was 16 two years later.

The age is considered suitable, but this slap in the face, this generous figure, good guy, he was very powerful when he was young, not the same as the weak heroine in "Twilight".

And then there are acquaintances like Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway.

When it was time for Natalie Portman, Han Sheng simply threw it aside.

Murphy was taken aback, "Um, this is Mr. Spielberg...!"

"Don't worry about it," Han Sheng had met Natalie Portman several times, and even played with her, but that woman was too pretentious, and her thoughts were too deep, and Han Sheng didn't want to get into this trouble.

So, it was a trouble he threw away on his own initiative, how could he pick it up again.

Murphy didn't know this, but he knew that he was not so ruthless, so he curled his lips, thinking about how to tell Mr. Spielberg later.

Han Sheng probably guessed what she was thinking, "It's okay, I'll call myself later!"

"What about this?" Murphy seemed to have thought of something, and took out a piece of information from the actor list.

Shia Rapov, good guy, that legendary adou who can't afford it.

Spielberg gave enough resources, but unfortunately, this guy is too capable of killing himself.

So, without hesitation, throw it with Natalie Portman's, "That's it, I'll call later!"

"Mr. Spielberg might be upset!" Murphy warned.

Han Shengyile, "Although it is ethnicity, it also depends on the level. If Spielberg doesn't accept my explanation, then forget it. He will know in the future. Even, he may already know it very well, but still Stubborn support!"

"Old and stubborn!"

Murphy giggled, and gave him a light thump, "Don't say that outside!"

"It's fine if you don't file a complaint!" Han Sheng smiled and pinched her face affectionately.

Murphy bit his hand playfully, and then stopped him from messing around. After arguing in his arms for a while, he began to supervise his serious work again.

After all, she just had enough food and needs to take a break.

"Blake Lively, in 87, the age is just right," Han Sheng smiled. However, it is rumored that this guy likes to collect stamps, and his record is amazing. Han Sheng really doesn't want the other party to target him!

"Actually, Alexandra is quite suitable," Murphy said at this time.

"It doesn't matter how old you are, or how you look,"

Well, that's a pretty good idea.

Anyway, he didn't plan to use the Twilight Girl from the original time and space, and he didn't want to make all kinds of unbearable rumors in the middle of the filming, making the crew very passive.

"If Alexandra is the heroine, then the heroine of "Transformers" can still go to Megan Fox!"

"Perhaps, Scarlett Johansson can also be considered, although the female characters in "Transformers" are really not good,"

"What about Anne," Murphy said; "Hathaway will definitely say that you discriminated against her," she laughed when she thought about it.

"She is suitable for acting in some literary films, or the tall and sexy role of Catwoman," Han Sheng shrugged, "It's not that she has no film contract, isn't she acting in "Princess Diaries 2" now, and then, next And "The Devil Wears Prada", "Brokeback Mountain" are waiting for her...!"

"She said she wanted to act with you," Murphy teased him with a smile.

"I want to act with me so much, I can't do it alone," Han Sheng said what she wanted to hear, and Murphy giggled, "You're so busy, you're amazing!"

After playing around, the heroine's words can probably be locked, and then there is an audition next.

However, you must first determine the actor.

As for "Iron Man", if Han Sheng doesn't act himself, he is still planning to let that guy Downey Jr., although that guy is not a good character, and even started smoking again later, but for now, he hasn't changed any more. good candidate.

Instead, I asked Murphy, "Who do you think plays Iron Man better, the one who is a bit older and has a good demeanor?"

"You," after Murphy joked, "Actually, Tom cruise is quite suitable. Of course, the salary is too high, and then, uh, it seems that there are no others. The others are either younger or older. It's gone, or it doesn't have that smell!"

"Uh, Will Smith is even worse, skin color, and that kind of style is not there either,"

"As far as Dongfang is concerned, Hua Tsai seems to be quite suitable, but, his skin color, you know what I mean!"

Han Sheng nodded. In terms of skin color, besides him, it seems that it is still a big problem.

Well, Li Guohao is that kind of fan.

Who knows if Hua Tsai should try it out, right?

"Then you can contact over there to have a look, uh, all kinds of auditions, makeup photos and so on," Han Sheng would not insist on going his own way, you know, "Iron Man" is the first launch of the Marvel Universe.

If this gets screwed up, it's over.

He mainly felt that Murphy was right, so he gave it a try.

As for the God of Gamblers, the boss Jiang and the like don't have that kind of taste.

That kind of elegant, pretentious, and uninhibited feeling is actually quite difficult.

Especially still have to be born.

"It's not bad to try," Murphy nodded excitedly.

Because of Han Sheng's relationship, she has no prejudice, and some only have the simplest ideas for suitable roles.

Han Sheng laughed and teased her, "A heroine is quite suitable for you. Take a look at your clothes and your temperament. You are born to be the ceiling of an office girl!"

Murphy giggled, "When it comes to the ceiling, sister Tess and even sister Victoria are the best, good guy, just stand there and you will be stable!"

"Where's Elizabeth?" Han Sheng gossiped.

"Elizabeth," Murphy stuck out his tongue cutely, "That's the queen, it's so scary, you guys think she's so gentle and beautiful, but women are under a lot of pressure in front of her.

Sister Tess has said it, it’s okay if Sister Elizabeth smiles, but when she doesn’t smile, everyone will be very nervous! "

"Really?" Han Sheng laughed.

"You are not afraid of Victoria, but Elizabeth?"

"Sister Victoria is extroverted, and she can tell when she is angry, but sister Elizabeth can't see it,"

Well, you probably don't know how dark behind Victoria's back.

However, there is no need to tell her, just let her live a simpler life.

Like Shakira, last time the stimulation was not light, after that people looked a little less cute.
