Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 307 The cast is confirmed

Compared with the deserted pick-up lineup the last time I came to the United States, this time the pick-up became much more luxurious.

In order to show sincerity, Warner sent production director Steven, who had contacted Zhang Yang many times, to rush to the airport in person. He led the Warner employees who were preparing to participate in the filming to welcome Zhang Yang and the crew members.

Wu Yusen, Liu Weiqiang and others never expected that Warner would send out such a high-profile plan. They all looked surprised for a while, especially when they heard that Steven introduced himself as Warner's production supervisor. The surprised expression on his face couldn't help but become more intense.

Secretly glancing at Zhang Yang who looked as usual, the two of them couldn't help but raise their thumbs secretly in their hearts.

Brother Yang is just different.

When you come to the United States, you have to be picked up by the production executive of Warner, one of the eight major Hollywood studios.

This scene is so grand!

And that's not all that surprised the two.

After greeting the two of them, Steven came to Zhang Yang and his tone turned somewhat flattering.

"Mr. Zhang, welcome to America again. We have arranged the hotel. Shall we leave now?"

"Well, Steven? I didn't expect Warner to arrange for you to come over and meet me again."

"I have had more contact with Mr. Zhang. The superiors are afraid of sending someone over because we are not familiar with each other and may cause problems. Besides, it is also a personal honor for me to see Mr. Zhang again..."

Seeing Steven's bad behavior, Wu Yusen and Liu Weiqiang's Hollywood filters were shattered to pieces in an instant, and their whole heads began to buzz.

In fact, it's no wonder that Steven devalued himself, mainly because Zhang Yang left such a deep impression on him last time.

Think about it, when the two met for the first time, Steven was still aloof and asked Zhang Yang to go back and wait for notification. In the end, within a few days, he had to come to Zhang Yang in fear, hoping that he would not screw up and let Zhang Yang go home. Zhang Yang nodded steadily and agreed to their plan.

The results of it?

Zhang Yang took his time and fished for them for a week, during which time he kept making big news. During that time, the entire city of Los Angeles was in an uproar, but everyone was discussing the same name that Steven was most concerned about.

How could Steven forget this kind of suffering?

For this reason, he would rather keep his posture relatively low now, rather than make Zhang Yang unhappy again and make him suffer like last time.

But Wu Yusen, Liu Weiqiang, and Lin Lingdong, the three people who did not go to the United States with Zhang Yang last time, have no way of understanding the inside story and details here. From their current perspective, they can only feel that Zhang Yang is in front of them. Suddenly it became unfathomable.

I really didn’t expect that Brother Yang would be so successful in America in just three months...

It's breathtaking, it's breathtaking.

After Wu Yusen and the three of them looked at each other, they began to silently applaud Zhang Yang from the bottom of their hearts.

Talent is talent, and it cannot be buried wherever you go!

Zhang Yang naturally didn't know what the three of them were thinking at this moment. After all, he had a lot to do during this trip to the United States, so he naturally didn't have time to think about so many unnecessary things.

...    After arriving at the hotel where Warner prepared for everyone to stay, the crew was arranged to have a meal first, while Lin Lingdong, Wu Yusen, Liu Weiqiang and Zhang Yang stayed in the private room to communicate with Steven about the subsequent filming process.

First of all, in terms of actors, because it was already determined when the contract was signed last time that Zhang Yang needed to select the key villains in the film and several important supporting roles in the United States, Warner also began to contact them in advance.

Now that Zhang Yang has returned to the United States for filming, Warner has naturally prepared a corresponding roster of actors.

After opening the list of actors, Zhang Yang glanced at it a few times and finally settled on a few names.

The first one to bear is the role of the film's number one villain, the younger brother of the Mafia family. Zhang Yang chose Johnny Depp from Warner's list. Of course, for domestic audiences, he has a more impressive character. Deep character and name, Captain Jack Sparrow.

It's just that this was in 87, so Johnny naturally hadn't had time to star in "Pirates of the Caribbean" yet. At this time, he was just a young actor who was slightly famous for his role in "The Boys", and he fell into the category of a niche actor.

However, Zhang Yang is convinced that there is nothing wrong with his research, and his slightly crazy temperament can be fully applied to this role.

The other one, although her appearance time is very short, but her role in the plot is relatively important, is naturally the sister of several members of the Mafia family. Zhang Yang chose Sophie Marceau from the list provided by Warner.

This French rose, who was later called the never-fading French rose, is now just an unknown little actress like Captain Jack Sparrow. Her noble temperament is undoubtedly very suitable for playing such a big sister role.

As for his loyal bodyguard, the candidate for the long fighting showdown with Zhang Yang. After looking through the roster, Zhang Yang couldn't find the right person, so he simply proposed to Warner and directly invite Binny to star. Warner naturally had no idea about this. Opinion.

In addition to these roles, there are two important characters, one is the manager of the killer hotel, and the other is the underground homeless king of New York. After careful consideration, Morgan Freeman will be invited as the actor of the hotel manager. Starring, and the King of New York’s Underground Tramps will be played by Denzel Washington.

These two actors are both prime supporting actors, so there is no doubt about their acting skills.

With their joining, Zhang Yang can be sure that although the film's lineup does not seem to be big names, it will definitely produce the best effect.

As for the other actors who will appear in the film, some will be provided by Warner, and the other will be selected by Zhang Yang from the team he brought. Especially for the scene where killers from all walks of life surround Zhao Weike, Zhang Yang needs these experienced martial artists. Only through cooperation can the best fighting effect be presented.

After confirming the cast, Steven did not interrupt too much, but left quickly, returned to Warner to make a report, and quickly gathered the actors to prepare for the shooting. As for Zhang Yang, even if he wanted to start work in a hurry It's useless, after all, here in the United States, Warner has to prepare the photography venues and equipment.

Without their cooperation, even if Zhang Yang wanted to shoot, it would be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

So after the meeting ended, and after chatting with Lin Lingdong and others for a short time, Zhang Yang let everyone leave. He returned to the hotel phone, picked up the phone, and took the initiative to dial a number.

Now, Robert's side probably doesn't know the news about his return, so Zhang Yang needs to take the initiative and ask him how things are going.
