Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2196 Rejected

Although the male and female protagonists of "Spider-Man" are temporarily found, they are far from enough.

Because in the "Spider-Man" drama, there is a very important role besides the male and female protagonists, and that is the villain Norman Osborn in this drama.

The first "Spider-Man" in the previous life was released in 2002, and there are still more than ten years from now.

The actors who starred in "Spider-Man" are either young or very young, and they simply don't fit the roles in the play at the time, so it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to find them according to the original list.

The actor who originally played Norman Osborn was Willem Dafoe, but he is only in his early 30s now, and he is not suitable to play the role of the villain of this play at all.

So Lin Daoqiu never thought of asking Willem Dafoe to play the big villain from the very beginning. He planned to find an actor who is very capable and of the right age to play the big villain.

For Lin Daoqiu, if he wants to find someone who can play the villain alive, then he must first recommend Anthony Hopkins.

It is not easy for "The Silence of the Lambs" to win the Oscar for Best Picture, and Anthony Hopkins only played 118 minutes in this 16-minute movie.

But with his superb acting skills, he won the best actor title in one fell swoop, such an achievement is really rare in the history of Oscars.

Letting Anthony Hopkins play the big villain Norman Osborn is a piece of cake for him, and he doesn't even need to pay any attention to it, as long as he appears, he can exude a different feeling immediately. Unusual aura.

Thinking of this, Lin Daoqiu immediately called Anthony Hopkins.

Anthony Hopkins was very happy when he received the call from Lin Daoqiu, and the two sides have always had a very good cooperation.

After Lin Daoqiu told Anthony Hopkins about inviting him to play the villain of "Spider-Man", Anthony Hopkins on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.

"Mr. Lin is really sorry. It was a great honor for me that you were willing to invite me to participate in your movie, but I have already accepted another movie. I am afraid I don't have time to participate in your movie."

Anthony Hopkins didn't deliberately refuse Lin Daoqiu's invitation, but because he really has no skills at all, and he is not the kind of person who likes to mess around and play, he likes to devote himself to a work In order to play the role in acting well.

Hearing that the other party rejected his invitation, Lin Daoqiu just felt sorry, but he didn't think that Anthony Hopkins refused him on purpose.

"It's okay, I can understand your thoughts very well, I believe we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future, because you are a great actor in my opinion."

Anthony Hopkins on the other end of the phone was relieved when he heard what Lin Daoqiu said. Offending Lin Daoqiu was not a good thing for him.

And at this time, he is not really famous yet. Although he played the role of the big villain in "Tomb Raider", he has gained a little fame here in Hollywood. The filming of "The Silence of the Lambs", which made him famous, has not yet started. So now Anthony Hopkins can only say that he is not even a familiar face in Hollywood.

Under such circumstances, if he had a bad relationship with Lin Daoqiu, it would be difficult for him to get any good opportunities in the future. This is by no means alarmist.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, as long as I have free time, I will give priority to your invitation."

What Anthony Hopkins said made people feel that he seemed to be something special. Being able to receive the invitation from Lin Daoqiu is a dream for more than [-]% of Hollywood actors.

I don't know how many people, how many people dreamed day and night, and hoped to be able to participate in Lin Daoqiu's movie, because that would make them famous in Hollywood and even the world.

However, Lin Daoqiu knew Anthony Hopkins a little bit. He knew that the other party was not good at flattering. What he said was from the heart, so Lin Daoqiu could understand the other party's thoughts.

After the two chatted briefly for a while, Lin Daoqiu hung up the phone.

Anthony Hopkins failed to come to participate in "Spider-Man", so he had to find another actor to replace him as the villain Norman Osborn.

After thinking about it, Lin Daoqiu decided to find a famous guy to play the villain of "Spider-Man", and this person can be said to be a big hit this year.

…………

Michael Douglas won the Oscar for Best Actor this year for his superb performance in the movie "Wall Street".

It can be said that he is naturally one of the most talked about male stars in Hollywood this year.

But what Michael Douglas never expected was that Lin Daoqiu would take the initiative to call him.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, you can just call me Michael."

For this call from Lin Daoqiu, Michael Douglas took it very seriously, because the other party has already made two global blockbuster movies, and Michael Douglas believes that the person who can break this record in the future besides Lin Daoqiu I'm afraid it's hard for people to do it.

"Michael, I'm sorry to bother you. The reason why I called you is to ask you to meet and have a chat. Do you have time?"

"Of course no problem. As long as Mr. Lin invites me, I'm free anytime."

Michael Douglas readily agreed, without even asking his assistant if he had anything else to do at that time.

Because Lin Daoqiu's invitation is more important than anything else to him, even if he has any urgent matter, he must put it aside and go to see Lin Daoqiu.

After the two made an appointment, Michael Douglas arrived at the coffee shop they had made an appointment with one hour earlier on the day of the meeting.

After drinking a cup of coffee, Lin Daoqiu walked in from the outside on time.

Michael Douglas had asked someone to collect Lin Daoqiu's information before this, and the other party's photos would naturally be included in these materials.

Michael Douglas didn't know if he didn't read it, and he was really shocked by seeing it.

According to his words, Lin Daoqiu is simply a rare genius in the movie world.

The movies he made have never failed, and every one of them has made money, not to mention, and they are all big-selling ones.

Looking at the entire history of Hollywood, Michael Douglas can't find anyone who can have or achieve or even come close to Lin Daoqiu's achievements.

Although Lin Daoqiu did not say what he wanted to discuss with Michael Douglas on the phone, Michael Douglas guessed that Lin Daoqiu's meeting with him must be to invite him to participate in his new film, and it is unlikely that there will be anything else Things to find him.
