Chapter 315 Two Scenarios (Earth)
Time Warner executives are happy to see some scandals about Truman, at least it is much better than violent news about beating people, and it can wash away the established impression of the American people, especially the Oscar judges, on Truman.

But it will also make the Oscar judges feel that Truman has ulterior motives to contact the judges.

In short, there are advantages and disadvantages. After Adam weighed it, he encouraged Truman to make more contact with Billie.

Only Ting Jun thinks this is wrong.

"Mr. Truman has a girlfriend in China." She said, "Besides, Billie Ashley doesn't like us at all. If she becomes Truman's girlfriend, she will definitely fire us!"

"American business rules are not like this." Adam didn't worry about this. "Friends are friends, Gossip Girl is Gossip Girl, agent is agent, we don't interfere with each other, we are trying to make Billie Ashley popular, as long as Americans get used to talking about CH and don't think he is Chinese, then CH will be more than half successful in Hollywood."

"Mr. Adam, are you saying that Truman's Chinese identity is the biggest obstacle to his success?" Ting Jun objected to this statement, "But Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh are all Chinese."

Adam said: "Anna May Wong (Michelle Yeoh) is a Malaysian, and her ancestral home is China. As for Jackie Chan and Jet Li, recall that the movies they starred in and invested by Americans are almost all customized according to their personal characteristics."

"They are all 'Kung Fu Emperors', but now there is no market for movies with 'Chinese Kung Fu' elements in the United States, so there will be no third 'Kung Fu Emperor'. CH needs to get other types of A-class masterpieces, such as "Anna and the King" that Chow Yun Fat (周润发) got. Of course, the market recognition of that film is very low, a failed attempt."

"CH's acting skills are unparalleled. He needs opportunities, resources, and needs to integrate into the United States. Then he can become a superstar in Hollywood. Of course I know that you don't want to change CH's nationality. Then dating an American idol may be a good opportunity for Americans to accept him."

Ting Jun was speechless.

Not really out of words, she had a lot to say, but she knew it was her personal opinion and not Truman's career development, so she couldn't say it.

For example, Ting Jun wanted to say, since she is so unhappy in Hollywood, she should go back to China, but this is not up to her to decide, and Truman has just opened up the situation, and she got a perfect start, how could she give up so easily?
"Now two directors are contacting me, hoping that Truman will appear in their films." Adam said again.

"Really?" Ting Jun's eyes lit up.

Truman also became interested. The discussions about him just now did not leave any shadow in his ears, and they were directly filtered out. However, there are movies to act in, and this will not be ignored.

"Is it the protagonist?" Truman asked.

"Yes, one needs an audition, and the other doesn't. You think about it." Adam took out two film materials and said at the same time: "The filming of the first season of the drama version of "Joker" is about to end, and then you should go back to China to celebrate your traditional festivals, right? When you come back, you can join one of the two crews for filming."

Truman took the two documents with great interest.

The first one, "Shang Qi 2".

Seeing this name, Ting Jun let out an 'ah'.

"Isn't this Marvel's IP?" Ting Jun immediately said, what she meant was that Truman is now playing DC's clown, so does this count as job-hopping?
"Our contract with Time Warner is not bound to the role of 'Joker', nor can it be bound." Adam said, because the Joker is Joaquin Phoenix, and Truman is just Joaquin's substitute.

"But after playing DC's Joker, it feels weird to play Marvel's Shang Qi." Ting Jun murmured.

Adam said, "It's not guaranteed to be able to play this role. It's just an invitation to audition. "Shang-Chi 1" earned 4.18 million box office worldwide. According to the rule of not changing the leading role in popular superhero movies, no one should be able to snatch the leading role from Simu Liu's ass. But "Shang-Chi 2" has not started for a long time. There should be differences within Marvel. This is CH's opportunity."

Ting Jun was still worried, "Shang Qi's heroine is too ugly. Mr. Adam, do you know that the movie was boycotted in China because the hero and heroine were too ugly. If Truman plays the role, it will be embarrassing, right?"

Adam has another way of saying, "Marvel is a businessman. The reason why they launched the "Shang-Chi" IP is to please China, but cultural differences have caused them to lose the Chinese market. I read the script of the second film. Marvel is working hard to correct this mistake. Therefore, it is necessary for CH to save this movie, isn't it?"

Ting Jun was still not reconciled, but he really didn't know what to say.

Look at the second one, "Bruce Lee", directed by Ang Lee.

"Ah... do you need an audition for this?" Ting Jun immediately asked.

Adam shook his head, "I don't need this. Ang Lee (李安) is very sincere. He called me several times and talked for a long time."

"Then let's play this! You must play this! Truman's kung fu is good, and he is Chinese, so he is suitable to play Bruce Lee!" Ting Jun became excited.

Adam said, "This is a biographical film, the investment is not high, and it will not be shown in many theaters. The other is the most critical problem. Movies with the theme of 'Chinese Kung Fu' are outdated in Hollywood, and Bruce Lee is also outdated."

Ting Jun's excitement was extinguished.

"CH, how would you choose?" Adam and Ting Jun looked at Truman at the same time.

Now, Truman is like a baby catching Zhou, looking at the two movie scripts at hand with great interest, his thinking logic is not at the same level as that of his agent and assistant.

Truman said: "God said, I need a representative screen image, which can become a part of the ladder leading to God. As long as nine such images are collected, God can be resurrected."

Ting Jun translated: "Truman's goal is to play some characters with unique charm. His current goal is nine. As for why there are nine, because in China 'nine' is an extreme number, which means many, which means that he will play many such roles."

"...I'm not a reporter, so don't translate CH's words to me." Adam said.

"Ah... I'm used to it." Ting Jun sighed, as soon as she heard Truman say "God", she would have the idea of ​​translating for Truman. She was worried that others would think that Truman, who was always talking nonsense, was mentally ill.

Although Truman did not have a good mind.

Adam said: "If you want a more impressive screen image, I suggest you choose "Shang Qi 2". The character setting is groundbreaking enough and will completely compare with the first one."

"I believe in you." Truman grabbed the script of "Shang-Chi 2".

"Great choice." Adam applauded, "Now let's pray that Simu Liu got into a car accident, sorry, it was my fault, I mean, we have to work hard enough, the audition is only a week away, CH, prepare yourself well."

……

The news that Truman was going to audition for "Shang-Chi 2" spread among the crew of "Joker". It was not a secret, because Truman used this excuse to ask for leave.

Shia LaBeouf laughed at Truman, thinking that Truman would definitely not get the role because he was not ugly enough.

During this period of time, Truman got along well with Shia LaBeouf, at least Shia LaBeouf would not get drunk every day and try to kill Truman with a gun.

Anna Hathaway's focus on this matter is also aesthetics. She said that if Truman's audition is successful, it can really save Marvel's recent aesthetics.

Americans are not ignorant of beauty and ugliness, they are just kidnapped by political correctness.

　I don't know what's wrong with 316 at all, it's not bloody or violent, I just mentioned the names of a few European and American singers.Destroy it!
