Chapter 423 Entering Hollywood

After a night of lingering with Milla Jovovich, Paul Anderson, who felt comfortable all over, only felt that his whole life was complete.After another hard blow in the morning, Paul Anderson drove his own car to Sujo Films.

Su Qiao Films is located on the middle floor of an office building under the Su family property. Although there are only ten or twenty people now, it occupies one floor of the office building, covering a total of more than 3000 square meters, which is very grand.

Now that the Su family's business is in a bottleneck period, they urgently need to find a new direction for breakthroughs, and Lu Yiming's suggestion to them is the entertainment industry.

It just so happened that the previous tenant's lease expired and he didn't plan to renew the lease, so Su Zhenge made up his mind and decided to use this building as the headquarters of the film company.

After stepping through the main entrance, Paul Anderson still felt a little uneasy. He really needed this opportunity to prove himself.

Therefore, he kept encouraging himself in his heart to hold his breath: "This time we must perform well, and we must not make any mistakes."

However, when he walked into the company, there was still a look of astonishment on his face.

The boss of such a big company is actually Asian?
And still such a young Asian!
Could it be some rich immigrant family?

For Paul Anderson's expression, Lu Yiming didn't find it strange, it seemed that since people here knew that he was an Asian superior, they always had this expression on his face.

It seems that in the eyes of these people, people of the yellow race should be at the bottom of society, and white people are the most noble existence.Even the black uncle who can only make trouble looks more politically correct than the yellow Asian.

After all, people of the yellow race are so easy to bully, only slaves can be so resigned.

Lu Yiming sat on the stool without moving his buttocks, and greeted him in English from a distance: "Hello, Paul, I'm Lu Yiming from Su Qiao Films, I've heard your name a long time ago."

Paul Anderson tried to ask: "Then you are? Islander?"

Lu Yiming smiled slightly and shook his head: "No, I am a native of Xia with pure blood."

After learning that Lu Yiming was from Xia Kingdom, I was even more surprised. After all, in Hollywood, the Asian faces who invest in making movies are mainly islanders. Xia Guo people are really rare, even rarer than dinosaurs.

But Paul Anderson was just surprised, and didn't have any other messy thoughts. He didn't bother to care whether the boss was from Xia Guo or an alien, as long as he was willing to invest and let him make a movie.

After Paul Anderson took his seat, Lu Yiming threw out a notebook and handed it to him: "You should read the script first, can you make this story?"

Paul Anderson almost read the script of "Resident Evil" in his hand at a glance. Like the original movie, Lu Yiming also modified the plot of the game and deleted the role of the male protagonist. Added Ada Wong's storyline.

The changes to the original version of the film are not large and do not affect the main plot, so Paul Anderson was greatly impressed after watching it. He was originally engaged in literary creation. Before he became a director, he was already a well-known screenwriter in the country. Appreciation The ability is still there.

Moreover, after the failure of "The Surface of the Black Hole", he successfully polished off all the edges and corners of his body, no longer pursued those so-called philosophical speculations, but completely embraced Hollywood's "model call", thinking that commercial films should be commercialized The operation pays attention to factors such as scenes and technology, but it must "plot first" and adopt a typical commercial narrative strategy.

This is the bloody and tearful lesson he summed up from the painful experience in the past, and the plot of the original "Resident Evil" was also edited by him himself, so he liked Lu Yiming's script as much as he liked it.

After chatting for a while, Lu Yiming confirmed that Paul Anderson was the director he wanted to find. As a popcorn movie, "Resident Evil" should not deal with those too profound thoughts, and provide the audience with a good visual experience. Feast is just right.

Sure enough, Paul Anderson was still the same Paul Anderson before.

Lu Yiming was quite satisfied with this guy, and even said, "Very well, I'll follow your way of thinking. When will you be free to start working?"

Knowing that he was selected and able to continue making movies, Paul Anderson was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Anytime! Immediately."

Lu Yiming was still very satisfied with Paul Anderson's attitude, he said: "I will not interfere with the selection of the leading role, but for the important supporting roles, I hope you can accept my arrangement."

Since he wanted to earn money from the common people in the beautiful country, he naturally had to take care of the preferences of the local people. For example, finding an oriental face to play the heroine, Lu Yiming would not do it. After all, commercial films need box office.

However, it doesn't matter if we find a few Asian faces to play some less important supporting roles. Anyway, it doesn't affect the main line of the plot. Lu Yiming likes the role of Ada Wang very much, and hopes to have as many oriental faces as possible in the movie.

Of course, Paul Anderson has no objection to the boss's request, and he still has a candidate who most wants to play the heroine in his mind-Milla Jovovich.

What could be better than bringing your lover over to play the leading role and growing your relationship every day?
Immediately, Paul Anderson said: "I hope Milla Jovovich will play the heroine."

After hearing this, Lu Yiming couldn't help but gasped.

Years ahead, heroine or Mira?

Then, he suddenly remembered that after filming "Resident Evil", Paul married Milla Jovovich?
This is really...

It can only be said that foreigners can play, and making movies is used to make wives famous.

Of course Lu Yiming has the right to refuse, but considering that the role of Mira and the "Resident Evil" series complement each other, and Paul Anderson needs to work hard, he has to give him a little sweetness.

Seeing that Lu Yiming was silent for a long time, Paul Anderson thought he was going to refuse, but when he was worried about what to do, Lu Yiming spoke.

"You can arrange for her to come for an interview. If it is suitable, I will consider it."

"thank you boss."

Paul Anderson left ecstatically. On the way back, he couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and told Milla Jovovich the good news.

After finishing the director and heroine, Lu Yiming thought of another person—Liu Tianwang.

He called immediately.

"Liu Tianwang, long time no see."

Suddenly receiving a call from Lu Yiming, Liu Tianwang felt very surprised. He was even more surprised when he learned that Lu Yiming was now in Hollywood.

"How did you get to Hollywood?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "I originally came to Seattle to participate in a competition, but I saw a good opportunity. Are you free recently? Do you want to come to Hollywood to develop? I invested in a movie here, and I can't give the leading role You, but the supporting role is fine."

Minghua Entertainment Company has been established for some time, but it has not found any suitable jobs. Now Liu Tianwang heard Lu Yiming said that he would take him to Hollywood to develop, and suddenly he couldn't sit still.

"Think about it, dream about it! Don't talk about whether you are free now, even if the sky is falling, I will be free!"

Liu Tianwang had just finished talking with Lu Yiming, and he was still excited. His manager Zhang Guozhong brought Li Cansen to him.

This Li Cansen, in 17, participated in "Made in Hong Kong" directed by director Chen Guo, played Tu Zhongqiu and won the No.[-] Hong Kong Film Awards Best Newcomer Award. In the same year, he successfully signed a contract with Liu Tianwang's company , officially debuted.

In 18, he continued to participate in the feature film "Last Year There were Too Many Fireworks" directed by Hong Kong director Chen Guo, and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the No. [-] Hong Kong Film Awards by starring in the role of Wu Jiaxuan, which successfully emerged and attracted the attention of the industry , a rookie in the acting school who is not good in appearance but has a lot of strength.

"Arsen."

"Big brother."

Everyone greeted each other, Zhang Guozhong jokingly said: "I see you seem very happy, what's the happy event?"

They are all his own people, Liu Tianwang didn't hide it, he laughed and said: "Pack up your things and book a few tickets to the beautiful country of Seattle. You, Sen, will go together."

Zhang Guozhong said puzzledly: "What are you going to do in Seattle? Are you on vacation? There are a lot of things going on in the company right now."

Liu Tianwang smiled and said, "Who told you that we are going on vacation? We are going to Hollywood!"

Zhang Guozhong was even more confused: "Hollywood isn't in Seattle either."

Liu Tianwang said: "I just received a call from Lu Yiming..."

Only then did Zhang Guozhong learn from Liu Tianwang that the legendary boss of Minghua Entertainment, who never knew what to do, has set up a new film company in the beautiful country, and it specializes in North American box office!

Zhang Guozhong was shocked, showing an expression of disbelief.

Although Xiangjiang is known as the Hollywood of the East, after all, the gap between the small land and Hollywood is still obvious, and the gap in the box office alone is not at the same level.

Taking "Titanic" released at the end of 6000 as an example, Xiangjiang's box office was [-] million, which is already a record-breaking achievement. You must know that the highest box office of Xiangjiang's local movies is only a little over [-] million.

But the same movie "Titanic", what is the box office in North America?
900 million!Dollar!

This is a volume gap of more than [-] times, which means that the total amount of resources that the two sides can invest in film production is completely different, and the economic base determines the superstructure.

The decline of Xiangjiang Film is actually inevitable.

Outsiders can't see this, but as insiders in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, everyone knows it well, otherwise the Xiangjiang movie stars in the 80s and 90s would not have cut their heads one by one and wanted to enter Hollywood.

The most successful of these is Jack Cheng. His "Red Fan District" cost more than 3000 million yuan, but the results are gratifying. The island's box office netted more than [-] million yuan.

The success of "Red Fan District" is a milestone for Jack Cheng, Golden Harvest Films, and the entire Chinese film industry.

Starting from the 80s, after more than ten years, after three attempts, Jack Cheng finally succeeded in entering the mainstream Hollywood film market with this film, and he has envied many colleagues.

Today, Liu Tianwang is also going to Hollywood to develop, and Zhang Guozhong's excitement is beyond words.

Zhang Guozhong dreamed that Liu Tianwang could make a breakthrough, go to Hollywood like Jack to earn US dollars, now that he heard that Lu Yiming actually opened a film company in the beautiful country, he was immediately elated.

"We are also collaborators with Boss Lu. He is calling you over now. He must make a movie tailor-made for you. You will play the leading role, and then it will become an instant hit."

Liu Tianwang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm afraid it won't work this time. Mr. Lu told me that the total investment of the new movie exceeds 3000 million US dollars, and it's a horror movie. I used soy sauce at most to show my face."

When Zhang Guozhong heard it, he immediately became unhappy, and shouted: "Isn't your relationship with Mr. Lu very good? I think this opportunity can be won. Even if it is not the protagonist, it must be an important supporting role anyway? What? Saying that you are also a superstar in Xiangjiang, what kind of words are you going to play soy sauce in other movies?"

Liu Tianwang sighed, and said, "It's not that I don't want to fight for it. Mr. Lu told me about the play. The main characters in it are all women. How can I act? Do you want me to dress up as a woman?"

Whether it is the heroine Alice, or the female commando Ryan Ocampo, or even Jill Valentine in the second part, and Ada Wang in the fifth part, it can be said that almost all of them are carried by women. In Daliang's movie, men are completely embellished and foiled in it, and there are not many characters whose faces can be remembered.

"..."

Zhang Guozhong was speechless for a moment, only then realized that he seemed to be thinking a little too much.

Yes, although Lu Yiming is a miraculous young man, no matter how miraculous he is, how could he have the right to speak in Hollywood?It's the playground of the capitalist world.Being able to bring Liu Tianwang there is already a skill of Tongtian, so we really shouldn't ask too much for the time being.

As a public figure, Liu Tianwang's travels naturally attracted the attention of the media, especially the paparazzi.

Therefore, the news that Ming Wah Entertainment was going to enter Hollywood quickly spread in Xiangjiang.

Many people felt that Liu Tianwang was overreaching, and even Fa Ge, who was filming "Anna and the King" in the Malay Peninsula, called him.

"Hua Zai, what's going on? Why are you going to Hollywood all of a sudden?"

Fa Ge, who has worked hard in Hollywood for several years, knows that Hollywood is not so easy to get into.

Fa Ge and Zhang Guozhong, known as the "gold medal agent", are also old friends. It was under Zhang Guozhong's management that he reached the peak of his career step by step.

As for Liu Tianwang, he was excavated and cultivated by Brother Fa, and the relationship is also good.

Liu Tianwang had no choice but to patiently explain the whole story, and when he learned that Liu Tianwang was backed by a billionaire like Lu Yiming who was willing to spend money, he immediately felt a little envious, and said, "Why can't I meet such a rich man?" Where's the benefactor?"

The cost of filming is 3000 million US dollars, this level of investment is not uncommon even in Hollywood.

"Congratulations Hua Tsai, since you have this opportunity, you should work hard and make a name for yourself in Hollywood together."

They are all artists from Xiangjiang. Fa Ge still hopes to see more Xiangjiang stars who can successfully enter Hollywood. If there are more people, they will not be bullied.
