Chapter 325 Liu Tianxian (Earth)

Liu Tianxian did not respond to Truman's invitation for a long time, which aroused Adam's concern.

Their plan is to remake Shang-Chi, making Truman a bundle like Robert Downey Jr. is to Iron Man.

This is why the team of "Shang Qi 1" needs to be completely remodeled. Among them, the choice of heroine is the key. Otherwise, why doesn't Truman want to split it, but wants the right to deny and adapt the script to the slightly weak heroine?

If you still use Awkwafina, at least in China, it will definitely not please you. Without the big box office in China, with Truman's current reputation, the possibility of "Shang Qi 2" getting a high box office will be much less. If there is no box office, there is no big IP to talk about.

"Can other female Asian actors be considered?" Adam pondered.

"Japan? South Korea? Thailand?" Ting Jun also helped to think, but after thinking about it for a while, there really wasn't one.

"There is a Chinese actress who also has international influence." Adam said.

"Is there?" Ting Jun couldn't think of it.

"ZIYI ZHANG." Adam said.

Hearing this Pinyin Ting Jun didn't react for a while, but when she realized who Adam was talking about, she showed a negative expression: "You can't age!"

"I have seen her, she is very young, Asian women's resistance to aging has always been the envy of European and American actresses." Adam said.

"Have you seen her?" Truman asked. "Is she in California?"

"Yeah, she came here specifically for the part," Adam said.

"How is this possible!" Ting Jun was the first to not believe it, "She is such a big name, how is it possible?"

Adam said: "Maybe she wants to open up the international market? As far as I know, she has tried before, such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Memoirs of a Geisha". She has been nominated twice for an Oscar and once for a Golden Globe, which is her highest international honor as an actress."

"But as a film and television practitioner, she is not only a unit judge of the Cannes Film Festival, but also a lifetime judge of the Oscar, and an ambassador of the Toronto Film Festival. She has also received a medal from the French Ministry of Culture... She should be a 'film businessman'."

Film Merchant, film merchant, does not refer to investors, but refers to a profession that is a film and television practitioner but not an actor. They are more like actors among actors, such as most talk show practitioners who claim to be actors. Movie stars are just their aura rather than their profession.

"A Marvel IP protagonist, this is a rare opportunity for Chinese actors who want to open up the international market." Adam said, "CH, do you want to consider her?"

"Of course." Truman agreed. He has always respected other people's efforts, because he is also such a hardworking person. "Do you need me to meet her? I can directly recommend her to Marvel, if Crystal Liu still doesn't respond."

"You can only recommend one person." Adam reminded Truman, "You are not given any more rights in the contract."

"Then tell ZIYI, I will recommend Crystal Liu to Marvel when she clearly refuses." Truman said.

It doesn't take long.

Perhaps it was the news that ZIYI came to fight for the audition to spread to China. Adam should have sent the news. Only the next day, Liu Tianxian made it clear that he would come to Disney to audition.

A week later, on the set of Disney's headquarters, the audition was held in a larger space. The heroine of "Shang Qi" should have a certain foundation in kung fu, so various props were displayed.

Before the audition, Liu Tianxian, who had just arrived, greeted Truman.

Liu Tianxian shook hands with Truman, but kept looking at Truman's face with an expression of admiration, "Teacher Truman, thank you for recommending me. You are more... well, more beautiful than I imagined."

"You're pretty too." Truman replied.

"You look better. I mean it. You must look better than me in dress."

"I did dress up as a woman, and "Joker 2" is about to be released, so we can compare."

Heh~ Liu Tianxian thinks this conversation is a bit funny.

There was no time to chat in detail. As the audition officer, Truman sat behind that table. Before, he was the one who was auditioned, which represented an improvement in status.

In addition to Liu Tianxian, Awkwafina naturally participated in the audition this time, as well as several Asian Hollywood actors, such as Gemma Chen (the heroine of "The Eternal Race"), Sandra Oh (Christina Young in "Grey's Anatomy"), and Ashley Park (Mindy Chen in the Netflix series "Emily in Paris").

This is probably the full strength of Asian actresses in Hollywood. At a glance, she can understand the beauty standards of Americans for Asians. Ting Jun looked at them. As a woman, of course she would not judge anyone by their appearance, but Liu Tianxian is indeed as beautiful as a fairy among this group of Asians.

Obviously, the heroine of "Shang Qi 2" is very attractive to these actresses. After all, as long as they perform well and the market responds well, they will have the opportunity to join the Marvel Universe, guest star in other movies, and shoot a series of spin-offs.

It can be said that Marvel's hot character is a Hollywood actor's path to the sky. If you don't believe it, take a look at Scarlett Johansson, who started to become popular with "Iron Man".

Auditions begin.

Wenxi plus martial arts.

Without Truman’s audition, he always seemed quite satisfactory. Truman is also used to not judging other actors based on himself. His acting skills, skills, patience and comprehension are god-given. Of course, if this idea is said, it will not appear to be modest, but more like boasting, so Adam forbids him to say that.

Among several actresses, Liu Tianxian is very good in both literary and martial arts, especially in martial arts. Don't forget that Liu Tianxian is also a "beating girl".

In addition to Truman, the audition officers at the scene included director Destin, Disney vice president Tang Jun, and two Disney executives. Although Truman had the right to vote for the protagonist, in order to ensure Disney's control, the three executives present also had voting rights.

The audition lasted a day, followed by a workshop to decide who would play the leading lady.

At the end of the audition, Liu Tianxian's agent secretly inquired about the news with Adam, and Adam was not qualified to enter this meeting, and certain remarks should not be heard by unrelated people.

"It's arguing," Adam said.

If it weren't for Truman's right to deny the heroine, Disney executives only need to close the door and decide for themselves, but now that Truman has been added to this meeting, it seems a bit difficult.

No matter what the executives say, Truman has only one sentence: "The heroine must choose Crystal Liu, otherwise I will exercise the right to deny it. Let's procrastinate like this. I will accompany you."
