Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1896 The Angel Is Here
"Speaking of which, I noticed that you have been consciously cultivating some stars, such as Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, and that young man named Brad Pitt, and there was a Tom Cruise before."

Lin Daoqiu didn't know why Langmeyer suddenly brought up this topic, but it really made Lin Daoqiu blush a little when he said it was cultivated by him.

He just recruited famous actors from later generations and asked them to make a few movies that would definitely hit the blockbusters.

In addition to these people, Lin Daoqiu actually found Mel Gibson to shoot "The Mummy" in the first place.

"Do you feel that you are a bit too partial, or that you only pay attention to male stars in Hollywood, but have not discovered or cultivated some outstanding female stars?"

Langmeyer found it very strange, because Lin Daoqiu was not like this kind of person, and he had made many female stars popular in Xiangjiang.

Brigitte Lin is a very typical example. She is very popular in Hollywood, but Lin Daoqiu did not do this in Hollywood except in Xiangjiang.

Lin Daoqiu nodded after being told by Langmeyer. He had indeed neglected the idea of ​​cultivating female stars in Hollywood before.

After all, Hollywood at this time is not like later generations, and it can be said that there are almost very few movies that allow women to play the leading role.

And not only Lin Daoqiu, but other Hollywood film companies use men as the main characters, which has always been the practice.

"For example, you plan to make Brad Pitt with Hong Kong's actress this time, do you think this is suitable?"

Langmeyer didn't care about these things, but he felt that if Lin Daoqiu wanted to make "Ghost Boy" have a higher box office performance, he should match it with a western beauty.

If he still sticks to his previous idea of ​​letting Wang Zuxian match Brad Pitt, Langmeyer is worried that someone will seize this point and blame Lin Daoqiu and MGM.

Don't think it's a trivial matter. Sometimes Lin Daoqiu can't do things that companies in Hollywood can do. This is the limitation of his identity.

If Lin Daoqiu was an American, no one would dare to stand up and say no to him when he bought any production company, theater chain, or special effects company in Hollywood.

Even in the newspapers and magazines, there is absolutely a lot of praise, and Lin Daoqiu is praised like heaven and earth.

But with Lin Daoqiu's current status, he must be cautious about any acquisitions he makes in Hollywood. He must find American people to cooperate with, and then put himself in a very low position.

"Well, your reminder is very necessary."

Lin Daoqiu didn't think that Lang Mayer was teaching him a lesson. The other party was indeed thinking about himself, so he told him this.

It seems that training some of Hollywood's top female stars must also be on the agenda.

After seeing off Langmeyer, Lin Daoqiu sat alone in the office.

There are countless top actresses in Hollywood, but what Lin Daoqiu wants are those he has cultivated, not those who have already achieved fame.

Basically, in addition to Hollywood, there are not a few actors who come to Hollywood from abroad to develop.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu suddenly thought of a movie, which made almost everyone fall in love with her, and that was the Italian movie "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily".

The heroine played by Monica Bellucci can be said to have performed the role impeccably, and it can even be said that no one is more suitable for this role than her.

It's just a pity that Monica Bellucci is still young, so she doesn't know where she is in Italy, and it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to fly to Italy to find her.

So if Lin Daoqiu wants to cooperate with Monica Bellucci, he has to wait for her to emerge by herself, but I'm afraid it will take a few years to wait.

Because Monica Bellucci was still studying law at the University of Perugia at this time, it was impossible for Lin Daoqiu to know the news.

So he could only turn his attention to other places, such as Australia.

In fact, there are not a few actors who have developed from Australia to Hollywood. After all, the Australian film market is too small to support their ideas.

Many young people with ambitions and ideas will come to Hollywood to find opportunities after acting in Australia for a period of time.

Of course, some Hollywood directors and producers will set their sights on Australia, but this possibility can be said to be too small.

The reason why Lin Daoqiu thought of this person was entirely because of the male star that Langmeyer mentioned just now. If it wasn't for this, Lin Daoqiu would not be able to think of her for a while.

Nicole Kidman, Australia's most famous female star, is one of the best-developed female stars in Hollywood.

When she was young, Nicole Kidman can be said to be an impeccable actor, not only from her figure to her appearance to her acting skills, it can be said that God put the best of everything on her.

Unlike Monica Bellucci, Nicole Kidman was already a well-known actor in Australia at this time.

In 85, she starred in the TV series "Vietnam", for which she won the Australian Film Academy Award for Best Actress.

But at this time she has not yet been favored by Hollywood, so Lin Daoqiu can be said to have thought of her at the most appropriate time.

As the boss of MGM, it is not difficult for Lin Daoqiu to get the contact information of a female star. After all, Nicole Kidman is not an unknown actor.

Soon Lin Daoqiu found Nicole Kidman's phone number and contacted the other party's agent through MGM.

When receiving the call from MGM, Nicole Kidman's agent couldn't believe it was true. After multiple confirmations, he immediately told Nicole Kidman the good news.

Then one afternoon, Nicole Kidman received a call from Lin Daoqiu from the office.

"I think you have potential, you can try it in Hollywood, if you are interested."

Lin Daoqiu and Nicole Kidman didn't chat for long, because to be honest, Lin Daoqiu didn't go to the movies that Nicole Kidman acted in before.

But even so, Nicole Kidman immediately agreed to Lin Daoqiu's suggestion when her head was dizzy.

Two days later, when Nicole Kidman called and told Lin Daoqiu that she had arrived in LA, Lin Daoqiu was a little scared by the other party, but he immediately asked Fang Jinsheng to pick her up at the airport and help her settle down.

Now that there is Nicole Kidman, let her play the heroine of "Wonder Boy".
