Meiyu: I don’t care about the cost when making movies

Chapter 196 You Are Awesome

While chatting, the plane took off on time.

Of course, it was mainly Wayne and Li Zi who were chatting. Others, even Cheng Long and Yuan Baye, just laughed along and occasionally chimed in. They would only speak when asked about them.

There is no way, they say that red energy nourishes people.

Even though Wayne and DiCaprio are younger than the other, their influence as celebrities in Hollywood and even around the world is there.

In the eyes of Cheng Long and the others, the auras of Xiao Lizi and Wayne were stronger than the other.

Especially when Amanda noticed that Liu Tianxian was always stealing glances at Wayne, and she didn't know whether she was unhappy or just out of fun, and teased Liu Tianxian, Wayne said directly: "Stop it, you guys will do it in the future." They are all good sisters.”

Several people were stunned.

Even Xiao Li Zi couldn't help but make a tactical retreat.

Seeing Amanda stick out her tongue obediently and calm down, she couldn't help but give Wayne a thumbs up.

"you are awesome!"

Xiao Lizi sighed sincerely.

Who is Amanda?That's the little princess of the Hearst family!
The biological daughter of Anne Hearst, the third generation leader of the Hearst family!

Originally, they thought that in the relationship between Amanda and Wayne, it was Amanda who had a strong position. In the future, women who could not speak to her would be kicked away, leaving only Amanda. After all, Amanda's background was there.

But now it seems that is not the case at all!

"I wish I were half as good as you!"

Wayne hugged Amanda and laughed loudly: "Are you dreaming? At your level, you are not even one-tenth of mine, okay~"

Xiao Lizi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he immediately reacted and said excitedly: "Impossible! How could I not even be one-tenth of yours! You are slandering! Do you know about slander!"

However, after all, Xiao Lizi unconsciously thought of the last day we went out on a yacht to play together, and then his whole body felt bad.

Objectively speaking, it seems that he is not even one-tenth of Wayne's!
The heartbroken little plum quickly changed the topic.

"There should be poker on this plane, right? How about we play cards? Do you know Texas Hold'em?"

"No, I'm not interested either, but I can watch you play. Just the four of you should be enough~"

"OK then"

Xiao Lizi shrugged and asked the flight attendant to bring some cards and played cards with Cheng Long and the other three.

On the other side, Liu Tianxian was still dazed until now, and her head was filled with what Wayne just said. It wasn't until Liu Xiaoli secretly pinched her several times that she came back to her senses.

Of course, Liu Xiaoli is actually happier than Liu Tianxian.

It's just that she is an adult after all, so she won't act as excited as a little girl.

"Mr. Wayne, Sissi has been trying hard to figure out the role of Ruyue recently, and she has also asked her acting teacher for advice. However, Director Zhang is not here. Can you please help guide her?"

"Okay."

Wayne didn't care what Liu Xiaoli was thinking and agreed casually.

Similar to the previous life, "Hero" will go to Dunhuang to officially start production in August this year. After Liu Tianxian returns to China this time, he will stay in the country for the time being.

Li Lianjie will also join the group training half a month in advance, but he has already said hello to Zhang Yimou in advance.

When "League of Assassins" needs him, he will ask for leave from the "Heroes" crew.

Li Lianjie's appearance in "Hero" was a role with a reduced salary, so Zhang Yimou naturally would not refuse to agree to this small request.

What's more, "League of Assassins" is still Wayne's movie, and he is now asking Wayne to help him sell the North American rights, and even all overseas rights, of "Heroes" at a good price.

"This is the script."

Wayne took the script Liu Xiaoli took out from her bag, read it, and then compared it with Zhang Ziyi's version of Ru Yue in his mind, indicating that Liu Tianxian could start performing.

To be honest, Liu Tianxian really likes acting and really wants to improve his acting skills.

It's just that in her previous life, she hadn't seriously learned acting, so she was thrust into the crew of "The Golden Family" and became famous just by virtue of her cheeks.

Neither Liu Xiaoli nor her godfather understood the importance of acting skills, and they just took the opportunity to help Liu Tianxian increase his reputation.

As a result, I missed the best time to study. When I wanted to improve later, my acting skills were already a bit fixed and I couldn't change them.

But now, after being discovered by Wayne in advance, she has been studying acting seriously from the beginning, and she also has the guidance of one-on-one professional teachers. Her acting skills are much better than at the same time in her previous life.

At least if she goes to film school now, no one will think that she is using connections to get through the back door.

"There is no problem with your performance. At least for me, it is enough to play the role of Ruyue. However, in terms of image, you still have a little baby fat. I feel that your cheeks should be thinner. Of course, not too thin. As for the lines, I am not too sure. Understood. Li, what do you think?"

Over at the card game, Li Lianjie, who was the first to be eliminated, had just been paying attention to Liu Tianxian's performance. After hearing this, he thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I'm still a little bit behind on my lines, but if you practice more, you should be fine. You can ask a teacher to teach you this sentence by sentence. And if that doesn't work, you can also find professional dubbing actors to do the dubbing later. When movies in Hong Kong are to be released in the mainland, they basically use dubbing actors to do the dubbing later. In China, The film and television industry is operating normally."

Wayne shook his head when he heard this and said frankly: "There is an old saying in China that 'you need to be strong to strike the iron.' I plan to train her as the leading actress of Lighthouse Entertainment, so no matter whether it is acting skills, body shape or lines, she must not fall behind." .”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Tianxian and Liu Xiaoli were naturally extremely surprised.

Li Lianjie and Cheng Long and Yuan Baye, who had been eavesdropping, couldn't help but feel surprised. They didn't expect Wayne to be so optimistic about Liu Tianxian.

For a time, Liu Tianxian's status in their hearts suddenly improved a lot.

At this time, Wayne continued: "I like her costume appearance very much and think she is very suitable for starring in costume dramas and martial arts dramas. I know that the martial arts dramas currently popular in China are basically from Xiangjiang, so in the future, this aspect will Resources, I need to ask a few more people to help me.”

After hearing this, Li Lianjie agreed without saying a word, as did Yuan Baye and Cheng Long on the side.

After all, with their network power, the most indispensable resources are martial arts dramas and costume dramas.

As for the resources for Infinite Films, neither Wayne nor them mentioned it.

Due to over-development in the 8s and 90s, after entering the 21st century, martial arts movies are rarely produced in Hong Kong.

Sometimes there may not be a martial arts movie released in a year that people can remember the name of.

On the contrary, Mainland China and Wanwan like to invest in martial arts films, and then bring in actors and stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places to star in them.

It's just that although I took a lot of photos, there weren't many good ones.

It also overdrawn the potential of the mainland martial arts film market, indirectly accelerating the death of martial arts films.Then Wayne turned to Liu Xiaoli and Liu Tianxian and said: "It's just convenient for Sissi to stay in China for the time being. Her next main direction is costume dramas and martial arts dramas, so in addition to basic things such as acting and dialogue, , manners, etiquette and even temperament must be well cultivated, so I will ask Huo Wenxi to hire a professional ancient culture and etiquette teacher for Sissi, and you must also supervise her in this regard. Sharpening the knife will not delay the woodchopping, as long as she can Follow my plan step by step, don't worry, you should be able to become a Hollywood A-list star by the time you are around 20 years old."

Now not only Liu Tianxian, but also Liu Xiaoli could not help but blush with excitement.

If someone else said this, even a great director like Spielberg, she would be suspicious and think it was just painting a cake.

But if it was Wayne who said it, even though he was painting a pie, it was really possible to eat the pie!

Don’t talk about it from afar, just talk about Jessica who is sitting next to Wayne.

Isn’t this a living example!
It only took 10 months for Jessica, who was originally only in the top 1, to become a top-tier actress in Hollywood with three movies: "Happy Death Day", "The Bourne Supremacy" and "The Notebook". star.

And among the first-line actresses, she is currently the most popular one.

"Don't worry, I will supervise her!"

Liu Xiaoli, who wanted her to become a big Hollywood star more than Liu Tianxian himself, immediately spoke out and promised.

Seeing her decisive tone, Liu Tianxian was so frightened that he subconsciously shrank his neck.

In fact, when Wayne signed Liu Tianxian, he had already thought of a role that would make her widely famous around the world.

This character is Cho Chang in the "Harry Potter" series.

As the protagonist's love interest, the character Qiu Zhang is also one of the main supporting characters in the movie.

Judging from the average box office of the "Harry Potter" series of over one billion US dollars, it is not an exaggeration to say that this role has made countless Asian actresses break their heads.

More than ten hours later, the plane landed safely at Beijing Airport.

As soon as the group came out of the VIP passage, they met Huo Wenxi and her assistant who had been waiting here for a long time.

"Hello, Mr. Chairman, I am Huo Wenxi."

Although this was their first meeting, Huo Wenxi was no stranger to Wayne.

After all, in the past two months, it would be no exaggeration to say that Wayne has dominated the world of cinema.

The cold-blooded 'Bourne' and the bohemian and handsome 'Noah' have become the prince charmings of many girls.

It's just that she doesn't understand Wayne's private preferences, so the title is more formal.

"Don't be so formal. Just call me husband or Boss. Of course, 'Boss' is also fine."

While Wayne spoke, he was also looking at Huo Wenxi.

Based on his level of domestic entertainment in his previous life, he naturally only heard of Huo Wenxi by name but never met him in person.

I have to say that with Huo Wenxi's appearance, it would be a pity not to be a star. Even in the golden age of Hong Kong movies in the 90s and [-]s when there were so many beauties, she was not without competition.

However, she chose the path of becoming an agent, and it turned out that she was right.

The position of Emperor Artist Director may not earn as much as celebrities, but the power and influence in the industry cannot be compared to that of ordinary celebrities.

"Okay, boss, the car and hotel have been arranged. Do you think we should go to the hotel first?" Huo Wenxi relaxed a little and asked.

"Send Leonardo, Mr. Chen, and Yuan Baye to the hotel first. You can take Li and me to the company to have a look."

"Okay, boss."

After a while, the group left the airport.

Then what came into view were five brand-new black Audi A6s, and two Silver Angels surrounded in the middle.

Seven cars were parked there, attracting passers-by’s attention and turning heads.

After all, the five Audi A6s alone cost less than 300 million in total.The landing price of a Silver Angel is now almost 1000 million!

At this time, these cars can buy a courtyard with more than 3000 square meters in the Third Ring Road.

Of course, because it is a 'prop car' and it is still 'rented', Lighthouse Entertainment actually only paid some taxes and did not spend much money.

"Jessie, you and Amanda can take the other car."

Then Cheng Long and his assistants went directly to the hotel in three Audis, while Wayne took Amanda, Liu Tianxian and Liu Xiaoli to the company with Huo Wenxi.

Although commuting in Beijing at this time was not as congested as it was later, for long-term considerations, when selecting the company's location, Wayne still placed the company on the Fourth Ring Road near the Summer Palace and Haidian Park.

"Is the guest list sorted out?"

"It's sorted, boss, there are 87 guests invited to attend the opening ceremony this time." Huo Wenxi introduced the guest list as he took out the already prepared guest list and handed it to Wayne.

Relying on the connections of Yuan Baye, Zhang Yimou, Li Lianjie and Cheng Long, not to mention the gathering of big-name stars at this opening ceremony.

In addition, Huo Wenxi also followed his request and invited the bosses of Huayi, Rong Xinda and other brokerage companies, which can be regarded as a clear deal.

In addition, she also invited professors and students from the acting departments of the Film School and the School of Drama as requested by Wayne.

As a result, even if we don't count the fans of the celebrities who came after hearing the news through entertainment newspapers and news, there were almost 600 people.

Among them, the happiest ones are undoubtedly those students majoring in performance.

Because they can also attend the reception after the opening ceremony.

Being able to have such close contact with so many big stars, big directors, as well as senior executives of brokerage companies and film and television companies, including the now popular Hollywood superstar, Wayne, the boss of Hemera Pictures, the only one among the Big Seven .

This kind of opportunity is almost unique if not unique.

Yes, after the release of "The Notebook", Wayne can already be regarded as a Hollywood superstar.Even Tom Cruise has been left behind by him.

In terms of popularity in the entire Hollywood, only DiCaprio can rival him.

In less than a year, Wayne went from a newbie to a height that countless people cannot reach in their lifetime.

The most legendary thing is that the movies that made him famous step by step were all produced by his own production company.

There is no need to explain how attractive the agency he opened is to actors and students who aspire to become stars.
