The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 326 Hollywood's Invitation

The sun is shining brightly and the summer breeze is blowing.

The Yue Mao Hotel next to the Bund in Shanghai.

Li Shengyao was sitting by the window. Through the window, he could see the towering Oriental Pearl Tower and the winding Huangpu River.

This is his third day in Shanghai, and the seminar for directors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait has long since ended.

Yang Dechang's words attracted some media hype.

Most of them are flattering. They ignore Yang Te-ch'ang's other words and say that Lee Sing-yao is No.1 among young directors from Taiwan, Taiwan and Taiwan.

Regarding this point, Li Shengyao can't control so much, he can only tell himself that he must have a normal heart.

Regardless of the previous results, we must start from scratch and prepare for the next movie seriously.

Deng Chao and Li Lianhua have already rushed to Star City, and most of the crew have also rushed over.

Several assistant directors have spoken with him on the phone, and the preliminary preparations have been completed.

If Li Shengyao passes by now, he will be able to start the machine immediately.

But there are still some things that he needs to delay for a few days.

One of the things, three days later is the Huabiao Awards Gala, and he will attend as a guest of honor at that time.

At this time, he was sitting here to wait for a person, this person was Jay Smith, who was said to be a very good international headhunter.

I have been in Shanghai all the year round, looking for talents for those multinational companies.

And what is his purpose of looking for Li Shengyao this time?

It should be lobbying for the island country, Hong Kong Island, or that crooked capital.

Li Shengyao was too lazy to meet such a person, but Smith invited Cheng Long, so he sold his favor to Cheng Long.

"Extreme Escape" will have a lot of high-altitude jumping scenes, and then he will ask Cheng Long to play a cameo.

Cheng Long easily jumped over two buildings of more than ten meters, then turned to the hero and heroine and said: "Look, it's very simple, come quickly."

After a while, Smith came over. He was probably in his forties, with a normal appearance and a slightly bulging stomach. Although he was wearing a suit and his hair was all combed back, he looked like an ordinary middle-aged man.

The two exchanged some pleasantries, Li Shengyao ordered water, and Smith ordered coffee.

Smith then said in English: "Lee, who do you think I came to you for?"

Li Shengyao is not a little girl, she likes to guess.

Moreover, he has read the biography of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and knows the way lobbyists speak.

He was too lazy to answer, and silently glanced at Smith, then turned his head away.

Smith paused slightly, realizing that Li Shengyao was very defensive and not easy to persuade.

When Li Shengyao didn't speak, he took the initiative to speak.

"Li, you probably wouldn't have guessed that I came here this time because I was actually entrusted by the Fox Group of the Beautiful Country. They hope that you can go to the Beautiful Country and help them film TV."

Without waiting for Li Shengyao to answer, Smith said first: "Li, don't rush to refuse, I know you have many achievements and industries in China, but listen to me and finish slowly."

Li Shengyao was a little surprised that it was not Hong Kong Island Wanwan Capital or Island Capital, but lobbying for Fox. It seemed that "Prison Break" was indeed popular.

"You said."

Smith nodded, then stood up, and pointed out the window, "Look at the Bund, the place that all Chinese girls yearn for, if someone has property in the Bund, let the news out, even if he is only 1.4 meters, even if he looks Ugly, and popular as he is."

He continued, "And the beautiful country is such a place. If you achieve something in the beautiful country, girls all over the world will look at you. You will have an experience that you have never had before. The happiness of the rich over there is definitely not yours." imaginable."

Pretty Country is a paradise for the rich, and they really have fun, all kinds of parties.

And there are girls from all over the world, black girls, white girls, Asian girls, and brown Brazilian girls.

This is incomparable in China. The rich in the country are sneaky, but the beautiful country can play openly.

Li Shengyao has enough money, he wants to play, and he can go there now, but well, he was supposed to keep a low profile.

Even if he is the richest man in the world, he always plays with women secretly.

In this regard, he is similar to Bill Gates.

He chuckled and shook his head, "I don't need it, I'm not very interested."

Smith was not discouraged, "Li, I have been here for a long time, I know what you Chinese people think, you pay attention to where you were born and where you died, but it is only a journey, your departure will make you stronger, you will learn More advanced, more outstanding shooting system and experience."

"When you come back home, you will be more talented and you will be different."

This may be true. At present, the production of domestic film and television dramas is too rough.

However.

To make a TV series for others, isn't that equivalent to working for others.

Li Shengyao's brain was filled with water, so he came up with this idea.

"I reject."

Smith was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't dwell on it.

"Li, I see what you mean."

"But I have one more thing to do next, which I believe you are more interested in."

Li Shengyao nodded, "Go ahead."

"In addition to the Fox Group, Disney asked me to tell you that they hope you can help Disney make movies."

Disney originally planned to ask Li Shengyao to write the script for them, but after learning about Li Shengyao's recent situation in the Mainland, they changed the treatment, and they wanted to invite Li Shengyao to make a movie.

Smith said a little excitedly: "Lee, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Think about Little Li, Depp, Tom Cruise, you can see them often."

"You will become the envy of everyone, and you will become the focus of the world's Vanity Fair, not just ordinary girls, but Hollywood actresses, Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Scarlett Johansson, they will all pay attention to you."

"Can you imagine a situation like that?"

Li Shengyao silently glanced at Smith. He didn't like Julie's mouth, but liked Nicole Kidman and Scarlett Johansson.

But in this case, it’s enough to fool the layman, and you’re not a big Hollywood director, so why would a first-line actress talk to you.

"If I go to Disney, do I have editing rights to my movie?"

If he has the editing rights, with his advantages, he believes that he can quickly make a way out.

"This...of course not at the beginning, it will take a process."

Li Shengyao curled his lips, "Forget it, buddy, I won't go, my movie must be 100% decided by me."

Smith was taken aback, "Ninety percent of directors start this way."

"I know, I won't go."

"Li, Brother Chen Kai is going to Hollywood, so you really don't want to give it a try?"

Brother Kaizi did make a movie in Hollywood, and he came back after the filming.

With his character, how can he bear others to point fingers at him.

Of course, Li Shengyao couldn't bear it either.

"He is back. Not everyone can tolerate Hollywood. If Disney really wants to find me, they can only adapt to me, not me to them."

When Smith heard this, he opened his mouth wide in surprise, thinking that this person was too crazy.

It's crazy to ask Hollywood to adapt to him.
