This actor doesn't look like a good guy

Chapter 269 An Invitation from Hollywood

The press conference of "Fast and Furious" was very grand.

All major newspapers and media across the country came, including many reporters from other countries. Jiang Bai also saw a Chinese media among the crowd.

Among other things, since I met my own people outside, I still have to take care of them later.

They were holding a press conference in the morning, and the purpose was still for publicity. At noon, the reporters and cameramen were also arranged to have dinner in the restaurant, and the starring actors were on the other side.

"Why are we the only ones this time? Don't you mean that the bosses in the company are coming?"

Lin Yibin shook his head: "Although they are going to come, they will arrive at the reception in the evening, and we will eat by ourselves at noon, but you leading actors should prepare well in the afternoon, because there will be an interview with you."

Jiang Bai has three families here, and they are treated the same as the protagonist.

Because Chiba Shinichi, the actors of Takashi DK and Kitagawa Keiko each have two shows, one of which is three people together, and there is an additional one for each individual interview.

The person who interviewed Chiba Shinichi alone was a Japanese media stationed in the beautiful country, while Kitagawa Keiko and Takashi were interviewed by the media in the beautiful country.

Before, Lin Yibin asked Jiang Bai to select a few media outlets, but considering that Jiang Bai might not be familiar with them, he specially told him about the influence of these media,
But in the end, Jiang Bai chose two more neutral foreign media and one Chinese media.

Those two foreign media are mainly engaged in entertainment news, and they have never heard of any inappropriate remarks before.

However, foreigners always like to ask about Chinese kung fu during interviews, including who is more powerful among Jiang Bai, Jet Li and Cheng Long.

Jiang Bai directly said that the other two were more powerful, whether it was in terms of international influence, kung fu performance, or kung fu itself.

Although this is a bit against my will, I always have to be humble in front of outsiders.

There are not many people who read foreign newspapers in China, but many media will pay attention to the Chinese news sent by these foreign media. If they have first-hand information, they can transfer it back to China.

However, it was much easier when the third Chinese media was interviewing. After all, it is still rare to meet one of my own people in a foreign country, and most of the reporters who can be sent outside are relatively good themselves.

Jiang Bai and the reporter also had a pleasant chat, and even left each other's contact information after the chat.

After the cameras were turned off, they talked a lot about publicity and news. Jiang Bai's company also had a publicity department, but now it was merged with the public relations department.

During the chat, he found that the other party was very thoughtful, so he tentatively asked if the other party would like to work in his company.

And the other party was a little moved when he heard it, because here he felt that his chances of promotion were really small, and the reason why he applied to develop here was also the same reason.

But his family is in Yanjing. Although working here can meet more people, everyone has different ideas. Compared with getting a higher salary here, he still prefers the domestic Such an environment, of course, the premise is that there is a chance for promotion.

"But Mr. Jiang, I still want to think about it."

"It's okay, think about it slowly, and if you think about it, you can call me."

After the interview, Jiang Bai also received a call from Zhao Zhe. After he came out to film, Zhao Zhe rarely called Jiang Bai except for some important company matters.

It was okay when I was in Neon,
The time difference between the two sides is only one hour, which basically has no effect, but when it comes to the beautiful country, the difference is a bit much.

"What's wrong, Mr. Zhao? What time is it over there now?"

"It's eight o'clock here, I just arrived at the company, and then I have two things to tell you."

"What is it?"

"The first thing is that "No Man's Land" can't pass the review, and there is no way to release it this year."

Jiang Bai frowned after hearing this: "No Man's Land failed to pass the trial because of the subject matter?"

"Yes, this subject matter is a bit sensitive. On the one hand, it involves the poaching of nationally protected animals. On the other hand, the story is too dark. There is not a single positive image in the whole drama, and everyone is dead in the end."

Jiang Bai sighed after hearing this: "Although this is more in line with the yo-yo era, it is indeed too dark."

"That's right, so I called you this time just to ask you what you think about the changes. No matter what, we spent 1 million on this movie. If it's just because it doesn't pass the review, it will be thrown away. , really panicked."

Jiang Bai thought about the script of No Man's Land: "During the process, I changed it according to the requirements of the General Administration. As for the ending, they were all dead, right?"

"Yeah, no one survived, everything was left in no man's land."

"Then how about letting Jiaojiao and the police survive in the end? After all, in this kind of film, no matter what the other things are, you still need to pay attention to the public image. In fact, it doesn't matter much if one more person survives, even though they are all dead. In order to make it appear darker, it also makes the film more meaningful, but it can't pass the review.

In addition, Jiaojiao was sold here, and finally let her escape to heaven and return to the city, which may also represent a hope. "

The reason why Jiang Bai suggested this change was because he thought of "A World Without Thieves" filmed by Feng Xiaogang.

"A World Without Thieves" did not pass the review in the end, but Feng Xiaogang approached Wang Shuo with the script. Wang Shuo finally gave him only five words of advice, which was to get the female thief pregnant.

Because it also represents hope, and with hope, many things have meaning.

"You have a good idea. I will ask Ning Hao to study it later."

"Well, even if we spend some more money to make up some shots, we have to let this film pass the review, otherwise the more than 1000 million yuan will be really wasted."

"That's right, we invested our own money in this movie. If it doesn't show up, it will be half a year for nothing." Zhao Zhe said with a smile.

However, the news of the interrogation was obtained last night. Originally, he wanted to ask other people during the day, but in the morning he subconsciously thought of calling Jiang Bai first. A good suggestion.

"By the way, there is one more thing. There is a crew who wants to ask you and Baoqiang to film a movie. I have read a military-themed script. It is not bad, but their request is to let Baoqiang play the male lead. , you come to play the male number two."

"Military theme? Fighting?"

"It's not a war, it's a modern military theme. It's mainly about the life of the army, but there are also many opportunities to hold guns. I remember you told me at that time that I wanted to take on a role with a gun? That's right. "

When Jiang Bai heard it, he was really interested, and it was okay to be the second male lead for Baoqiang. He originally wanted to praise Baoqiang. Of course, it was not only mixed with personal emotional factors, but also with interest factors. .

Baoqiang is his good brother, so it would be good if he could become popular. And although there are already several outstanding actors in the company, in the final analysis, he is still the only one.

Although other people can also receive roles now, they are still a little bit less interesting in terms of their popularity. Except for the films made by the company itself and Jiang Wen occasionally takes some films outside to shoot, they have earned for the company throughout the year. The sum of money is not as much as Xiao Yang earns from making commercials for Party A by himself.

"But I'm going back soon. How about we talk about this matter after I go back? I'll read the script first."

"No problem, but it's easy to say on your side, and they mainly want to keep strong."

Jiang Bai couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "I'm going by the way this time?"

"Yeah, this time you can say it was thanks to Bao Qiang. When they first came to the company to talk, they just wanted to see Bao Qiang's acting skills, but Bao Qiang was really up to date, and he acted really well. Later we had dinner together. When we were chatting and chatting, we talked about you, and then they said that they want you to play the second male role, so I am just asking you what you think."

"Well, I also have some intentions here, but let's wait until I get back first."

"no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Bai immediately tidied up and went to the dinner party.

Although this dinner was held in the name of "Fast and Furious", there were still many celebrities from all walks of life present.

Among them, the entertainment and business circles are the main ones.

On the production team's side, those who attended the banquet were several leading actors of the production team, as well as directors, assistant directors, investors, and senior leaders of the company who initiated the production.

And the leading actors in the previous two films also came over. Although only Vin Diesel showed his face in the third film this time, they will also star in the following episodes, so they also came to help Promote publicity.

Since Vin Diesel knew a lot of people here, he quickly went to chat with those business leaders. Jiang Bai and Paul Walker stood together and chatted about racing together.

During the period, people kept coming to say hello. Of course, most of Jiang Bai didn't know him, so he had to see Paul Walker's introduction.

"Let's go for a walk too." Paul Walker suggested after a while.

"it is good."

Jiang Bai said as he took two glasses of red wine from the plate carried by the waiter at the side, handed one of them to Paul Walker, and then started to walk around the venue.

This kind of reception is very casual, and after all, it is just a place to make connections. It will be over soon and there will be a small charity auction afterwards.

Because a lot of cars were used in "Fast and Furious", although more than a hundred cars were scrapped, those scrapped cars can still be used as ornamental objects if they are repaired.

Of course, these are cars with serious damage. There are also some cars with less serious damage. After a little repair, they are new cars. They can drive or store these cars after they buy them back.

All that's left are the undamaged cars.

All proceeds from the auction will go to charity.

Jiang Bai didn't have any thoughts about this, the main reason was that even if he bought these cars, he couldn't drive them back, because the movie was shot in the Neon Kingdom, so all the cars were right-hand drive.

Paul Walker was still interested, but the auction wouldn't start for a while, so they walked around the venue again.

"Jiang Bai, this is Elon Musk, a great entrepreneur."

Jiang Bai shook hands with the other party. Since he didn't care much about business matters, he was not familiar with the other party.

"Hi, I'm Jiang Bai, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you. You can call me Musk. I like China very much and I also like Chinese Kung Fu. When I launch a rocket next time, maybe I can put Chinese Kung Fu in it and send it to space together. .”

Jiang Bai was taken aback when he heard these words, good guy, what is the origin of this person?Next rocket launch?
Paul Walker explained with a smile after hearing this: "Mr. Musk is a person with a lot of dreams. He is now studying how to reduce the cost of rocket launches, and plans to realize Mars immigration in the future."

Jiang Bai was dumbfounded, is this person so awesome?
Why have I never heard of it before?
"Then Mr. Musk is indeed great." Jiang Bai didn't know whether what this man said was true or not, but since Paul said so, there should be such a thing.

After chatting with Musk for a few words, Jiang Bai hurried away. What the other party talked about was too high-end. Wrong.

But after bidding farewell to Musk, Paul took him around again, and soon came to a red-necked white man: "Jiang Bai, he is a host, actor, and also a very famous businessman in New York. There are a lot of buildings that he owns.”

And Trump is indeed very talkative. After chatting for a few words, he said that he would invest in Jiang Bai's future film, and that if Jiang Bai made another film in the future, he could make a cameo if necessary, without any salary. .

Later, I learned that Jiang Bai was still a racing driver, and began to talk about sponsoring Jiang Bai to drive a car, and adding their Trump company label to Jiang Bai's racing suit.

This enthusiasm made Jiang Bai a little uncomfortable.

As he talked, he wanted to invite Jiang Bai to play in his casino.

But Jiang Bai immediately refused, saying that he didn't like to play these things.

All in all, he felt that Jiang Bai had great investment value, so he wanted to spend money on Jiang Bai.

And Jiang Bai expressed his gratitude, and by the way felt that the other party did have vision.

However, as Trump is a celebrity in many industries, it didn't take long for other people to come and greet him.

Just as the reception was approaching, a person suddenly approached him: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Jiang Bai?"

"I'm currently planning an animated movie related to Chinese Kung Fu. I wonder if you're interested?"
