Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 936 Tom's Hope

After Langmeyer received Lin Daoqiu's call, he immediately asked people to arrange the selection of "Tomb Raider".

Although this time it wasn't about looking for a leading role, with Lin Daoqiu's fame in Hollywood, he still attracted many people to participate in the audition.

This time Lin Daoqiu was looking for all the main actors except the heroine.

Since this drama is dominated by Lin Qingxia, the presence of men in "Tomb Raider" will naturally not be too prominent.

When Lin Daoqiu arrived in Hollywood the next day, he went directly to Langmeyer's office.

"Dear Lin, long time no see."

Before Lin Daoqiu came in, Langmeyer had already walked around the desk and stood there waiting for his arrival.

The relationship between the two of them has not changed much, or it can be said that they are basically business contacts from beginning to end.

However, in Hollywood, with the great assistance of Universal, it is obvious that many things can be done that others cannot do.

Just like the selection of the role this time, although Lin Daoqiu could not say it was a temporary idea, he didn't have much time left for Langmeyer.

But even so, Langmeyer still helped Lin Daoqiu find a group of actors and actresses who met his requirements for age and appearance.

This time, except for a small number of actors who need people from Thailand to play, Lin Daoqiu hopes to handle all the other roles in Hollywood.

"Thank you Langmeyer for saving me a lot of time."

Lin Daoqiu stepped forward with a smile and hugged Lang Mayer.

Before Lin Daoqiu's appeal has not declined, Langmeyer's attitude towards Lin Daoqiu will still be very enthusiastic.

"It's a pity that you are only now preparing for the filming of "Tomb Raider". If it can be earlier, it can be released on Christmas."

Although Langmeyer said so, Universal has already bought the copyright of "Home Alone", and the film is already in production.

Even if "Tomb Raider" can be completed in time for Christmas, Universal may have a hard time releasing "Tomb Raider" and "Home Alone" together.

So Lin Daoqiu didn't take Langmeyer's words to heart at all, and he didn't intend to rush to finish filming "Tomb Raider". After all, even if everything goes well, this film will take at least half a year. .

"It's better to save Christmas for "Home Alone". After all, a movie with that theme is in line with the festive atmosphere. It's better to save "Tomb Raider" for next year."

Langmeyer shrugged, and it seemed that he had no objection to Lin Daoqiu's statement.

Lin Daoqiu didn't continue this topic either, he just wanted to know what kind of people Langmeyer had found for him.

"I've already contacted the person you're looking for, but he said he wanted to meet you before deciding whether to take on the role of the big villain."

When the president of Universal Company contacted him personally, most people would not dare to refuse, and they might even agree directly.

And coupled with Lin Daoqiu's fame, it really makes people wonder why the other party has anything to worry about.

"Then please help me make an appointment with him, preferably the day after tomorrow."

Lin Daoqiu has no time these two days because he has to choose other roles.

As long as the actor who plays the villain can be settled, other roles in "Tomb Raider" will become a lot easier for Lin Daoqiu.

"I asked the secretary to call him."

After Langmeyer finished speaking, he called the secretary in through the intercom.

"Take Mr. Lin to the room prepared for him. I'm afraid he's busy today."

The list of those participating in the selection of actors has already been prepared for Lin Daoqiu. The hundreds of materials are just for reading, and Lin Daoqiu will spend a lot of time.

But before coming, Lin Daoqiu had already made preparations, so he went to the office prepared for him to read the materials with a happy mood.

…………

"Wagner, tell me honestly, what are my chances of being selected?"

A young boy was looking anxiously at the manager sitting on the sofa opposite him.

When he heard the news that Lin Daoqiu's new play, "Tomb Raider" was going to be cast, he was very excited.

On the day he received the news, he directly submitted his profile to Universal, and then there was a long wait.

Five days have passed, and there is no news at all.

Although he knew very well that this was a very normal thing, he just wanted to know the result earlier.

"Tom, I'm not a god, how would I know."

Wagner shrugged at Tom, but then he said suddenly: "If it were me, I would definitely let you be selected."

The boy named Tom didn't seem too surprised by Wagner's answer.

"Mr. Lin's new film must be an action movie. I heard before that as long as Mr. Lin starts shooting, the actors will receive special training. I really want to seize this opportunity."

Lin Daoqiu's action movies are very popular in Hollywood. Tom has watched "Mission Impossible" and "The Mummy" before him many times.

Sometimes he even fantasizes that one day he can become the leading actor in Lin Daoqiu's movie.

But this time "Tomb Raider" is not looking for a leading actor, but there are quite a few people participating in the selection.

Tom heard that this time, thousands of actors who met the requirements submitted their materials to Universal.

Competing with thousands of actors made Tom feel that his chances of success might be very low, but he didn't think about giving up.

"Tom, I don't think you should get your hopes up, though I hate to say it."

Wagner feels that Lin Daoqiu is unlikely to pick Tom into the crew of "Tomb Raider", because no matter how you look at it, Tom is still too weak at this time. Compared with traditional martial arts stars, he has no advantage.

"Wagner, on the contrary, I think I'm very promising this time. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

Although Tom said so, in fact, his heart has been beating drums.

Don't look at the confident expression on his face, but his heart is already very scared.

At this moment, the phone in the room rang suddenly, and Wagner was not frightened, but Tom stood up from the sofa suddenly because of the sound of the phone.

"Who will call at this time?"

Although he hoped that it was a call from Universal, Tom felt that this was simply impossible, so he forced himself to answer the call with a normal attitude. All right.
