Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1592 Has become more diligent?

"Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, these two seem to satisfy you."

After the audition, Lin Daoqiu returned to the hotel and was about to take a good rest, but at this time Langmeyer suddenly came to the door.

After he entered the room, he found two documents on the table. The names on them were Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence.

"They are all excellent comedians. Although "Rush Hour" can only choose one of them this time, I have decided to give them another play."

"Starting two plays at the same time? When did you become so diligent? It's unbelievable. Could it be that the sun rises from the west today?"

Langmeyer couldn't help joking, after all, Lin Daoqiu can be said to be surprisingly lazy in recent years. After "Godzilla", although he is also preparing for the film "1992".

But he has missed the Christmas schedule for almost two consecutive years, which is really not a wise choice.

Langmeyer also didn't say that Lin Daoqiu must make a blockbuster movie like "Godzilla".

As long as he makes a movie according to his previous standards, it will naturally sell well during Christmas.

After all, for them, this is at least hundreds of millions of dollars in income, who would think that they earn more money?
"Not at the same time, after the filming of "Rush Hour" is finished, the next film will start filming."

It is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to shoot two films at the same time, although "Rush Hour" can be left to Jackie Chan to take full responsibility, as long as he follows the script, it will be absolutely fine.

But Lin Daoqiu knew very well that if he was not on the scene, it would be very difficult for those Hollywood teams to be willing to listen to Jackie Chan's transfer.

Don't look at Jackie Chan's reputation in Xiangjiang, and the previous "Red Fan District" made him appear in Hollywood, but Jackie Chan's fame in Hollywood is almost zero at this time.

"Red Fan District" was released a few years ago, and the box office is not high, so basically there are very few fans who know Jackie Chan.

If you want him to be responsible for the box office, it is still possible in Asia, but in North America and other markets, it may be difficult for Jackie Chan to have any box office appeal.

The reason why "Rush Hour" found someone to partner with Jackie Chan in the previous life was nothing more than to attract more audiences to buy tickets to watch the show.

"Well, please allow me to take back what I said before, it seems that I am indeed a bit too greedy."

Langmeyer smiled and shook his head, because this was the Lin Daoqiu he was familiar with.

"Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence will definitely become Hollywood comedy stars in the future, and they will be the top ones."

It seems that Lin Daoqiu is very optimistic about Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence, which also makes Langmeyer pay a little attention to these two guys who are still unknown at this time.

It is a rare opportunity to be noticed by the boss of Universal Pictures.

But before that, Langmeyer still wants to see how these two guys will play in Lin Daoqiu's movie.

Although he can be sure that this "Rush Hour" will be a blockbuster after it is filmed, and it will definitely have a box office of over [-] million.

But as for how much this movie can sell in the end, and whether the two protagonists in the movie can be welcomed by everyone, this is a big question mark.

"Well, I believe that with your ability, it can be done easily. I will wait and see. Of course, if there is anything that needs my assistance, just ask."

Langmeyer will not help Lin Daoqiu in vain, after all, they are partners, Lin Daoqiu is responsible for making the film, and Universal is helping to distribute, and everyone will share the money earned.

In fact, Langmeyer hopes that they can continue this cooperation model, but unfortunately, Langmeyer knows very well that Lin Daoqiu may soon buy MGM.

At that time, I am afraid that the cooperation between them will not be as harmonious as it is now, but before that, they still have to make money that should be earned, and any changes later will be a matter of future.

…………

It's been three days since the Rush Hour interview, and Martin Lawrence hasn't had a single call.

Martin Lawrence was very open about this. He thought how could a rookie like himself be able to win the leading role in a movie.

If the other party really chose him as the protagonist, then he would really think that they must be crazy.

"bell………"

Martin Lawrence, who was still sleeping on the bed, vaguely heard that the phone seemed to be ringing. He slowly opened his eyes, then turned over and picked up the phone.

"Hi, I'm Martin Lawrence... um... um."

In a daze, Martin Lawrence didn't quite understand what the other party was saying, but he only heard a few key words clearly, admission, global headquarters.

After putting down the phone, Martin Lawrence was about to go back to sleep, but less than a minute after lying down, he suddenly opened his eyes again.

"I seem to have heard just now, I was admitted? Admitted?"

Martin Lawrence sat up suddenly, and the whole person suddenly woke up.

"I was accepted, oh my god, this can't be fake, I'm going to be the main character... oh..."

Sitting on the bed and muttering about it for a long time, he couldn't believe that he was admitted by the other party.

Lin Daoqiu finally chose Martin Lawrence instead of Eddie Murphy. The reason is very simple, because compared with the two, Martin Lawrence looks more cheerful, and with a funny expression, he is more suitable for the role in "Rush Hour".

It's not that Lin Daoqiu thinks Eddie Murphy is not good enough, it's just that although both of them are comedians, they are still slightly different in genre.

Although Eddie Murphy failed to become one of the leading actors in "Rush Hour", Lin Daoqiu still called him and told him that he planned to open a new movie for Eddie Murphy in a while.

Eddie Murphy was so excited to get Lin Daoqiu's personal promise. Although he lost his role in "Rush Hour", he won a new play by Lin Daoqiu.

You must know that among the movies released by Lin Daoqiu in Hollywood, none of them did not sell well.

As long as he can become the leading actor in Lin Daoqiu's movie, he believes that he will soon become a well-known movie comedian in Hollywood. This is what he has always dreamed of.

And now I only need to wait a few months until the filming of "Rush Hour" is finished.

Lin Daoqiu felt that his luck in this trip to Hollywood was pretty good. Not only did he find Eddie Murphy, but he even caught up with a Martin Lawrence.

Now that the main characters of "Rush Hour" have been determined, they can enter the stage of filming immediately. I have to finish filming and release the film before Christmas. It's possible to swallow yourself alive.

　Thanks, Lone Wolf, Song Bingshu, everyone for your monthly pass!mwah! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
