Chapter 664 How to Influence Destiny
As June begins, the summer movie market continues to be hot.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" won the North American box office championship for three consecutive weeks, and "Knocked Up" which was released on June 3st did not pose any threat at all.

So far, Spider-Man 3, which was released on May 2.87, has grossed $ million in North America, temporarily ranking first in the North American box office.

The global box office has reached 6.32 million US dollars, temporarily ranking first in the global annual box office.

Although the series has suffered a lot of criticism, the fans accumulated by the first two films, coupled with high-quality special effects scenes, are still very competitive in the market.

With a North American box office of $3 million, Shrek the Third ranked second in the annual North American box office. Its global box office was as high as $2.61 million, but it ranked third.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3" has grossed $2.46 million in North America, currently ranking third in the annual North American box office.

However, on the global box office list, with a box office of 5.62 million US dollars, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" surpassed "Shrek the Third".

It is worth mentioning that Hong Kong actor Yun Fat Chow also participated in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

Basically, all famous actors in the Chinese film industry want to move to the international stage of Hollywood, but only a few can actually make a name for themselves.

Not counting the old Bruce Lee, Jet Lee is one, and his films are all pretty good. The most successful is Jackie Chan, whose Rush Hour series and The Spell series are his masterpieces in Hollywood.

Therefore, although the kung fu movie wave has faded in Hollywood, Jackie Chan can still maintain his net worth of 20 million US dollars.

Gilbert Jr. deserves credit for this. The "Mystery of the Talisman" series he created made Jackie Chan a Hollywood superstar.

Of course, the other few who are doing well in Hollywood are basically related to Gilbert, such as Shu Chang and Bingbing Li.

But it's a pity that Shu Chang's short-sighted family restricted her. But so far, Shu Chang is still the first among the post-80s generation of actors, even the popular Fairy Sister is not as good as Shu Chang.

No matter how much you brag about Fairy Sister, Shu Chang's international achievements are there. This solid achievement is the evidence that Shu Chang is better than Fairy Sister.

There is another story recently, which is about "The Forbidden Kingdom", which brought together two kung fu superstars, Jackie Chan and Jet Lee.

This movie was produced by Chinese entertainment giant Huayi Brothers Media and Lionsgate Films. As soon as the project was launched, Huayi Brothers Media began to hype it up.

First, Wang Zhongjun boasted that he would use a Hollywood team to produce this movie, and then Wang Zhonglei came out and said that they were already discussing the possibility of directing with the famous Hollywood director Gilbert Jr.

After that, new information kept coming out, saying that Tom Cruise was expected to join the film, and then it was said that Brad Pitt was very interested in the script.

In short, just hype it up as much as possible, crank up the heat, and then the attention will come.

Of course, Gilbert's assistant office did receive an invitation from Huayi Brothers Media, but this kind of junk invitation usually never reached Gilbert, so the assistant office just dealt with it.

But no matter what, this project didn't make a splash in Hollywood, and even Lionsgate didn't pay much attention to it. But it caused quite a stir in China, and many people wanted to join the crew through connections.

In addition to Cheng Long and Jet Li who were confirmed first, Bingbing Li defeated another Bingbing and other actresses to get the role of the White-Haired Witch.

Bingbing Li's way of defeating other actresses was very simple. She just put out the "Mystery of the Talisman" trilogy starring herself, which made Huayi, which was eager for the international market, no longer consider it.

The competition mentioned here is not audition, which is not very popular in the Chinese entertainment industry. Before the audition, there is actually an internal discussion session, which is the basis for determining whether an actor can get a role.

For example, Li Bingbing would have a meal with the two big and small kings of Huayi, as well as the film's producers and investors, and then she would show her qualifications, and the decision would be made in a few words.

This may seem a bit hasty, but in fact, the Chinese entertainment industry has been doing this for many years. And not everyone can go to eat. If you are not one of us, you can't eat even if you want.

But that's another story.

The most eye-catching role, of course, was the Golden Swallow, which attracted many young actresses to compete for it. But in the end, only two were selected, yes, Shu Chang and Fairy Sister.

If Shu Chang had followed the trajectory of his previous life, he would have had no competitiveness at all.

But now it’s different, the international results are there. Even the more Buddhist Fairy Sister feels the pressure, not to mention the Fairy Sister’s mother.

In fact, the two of them are good friends in private, and they have a lot of topics to talk about. But when it comes to a fight over roles and status, personal friendship has to be put aside.

Not to mention the likes of Fairy Sister's mother, what daughter's good friend? She's just trying to grab the role of her daughter's good friend.

Besides, Shu Chang stole the role from my daughter. If it weren't for her, Yifei would have already become an international superstar.

Shu Chang is well-known internationally and has good grades. Sister Shenxian has strong connections, and her mother is good at making connections. For a while, Huayi Brothers was in a dilemma and didn't know who to choose.

It happened that at a dinner party in Hong Kong Island, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were having dinner with the two main actors, Cheng Long and Jet Li, and they talked about the candidate for Golden Swallow.

Cheng Long recommended Shu Chang, after all, he and Shu Chang had a pleasant cooperation in the "Mystery of the Talisman" series. Jet Li did not recommend anyone, after all, he was not familiar with these two girls.

Just at this time, little Gilbert actually called Cheng Long and invited him to his own birthday party.

Cheng Long then asked, "Director Gilbert, I am preparing a play here, and there is a role called Jin Yanzi that is pending.
There are currently two candidates, Shu Chang and Yi Fei. "

"Yifei? Who is that?"

As soon as little Gilbert said this, Fairy Sister immediately lost the qualification to compete, and Shu Chang successfully got the role of Golden Swallow.

Little Gilbert really didn't mean it. If you said Fairy Sister, he would definitely know who she is. But he hadn't heard the real name Yifei for so many years, so it was normal for him to forget it.

After hanging up the phone, little Gilbert remembered that it was the name of the Fairy Sister. But he didn't care anymore. Whether it was the Fairy Sister or the Witch Sister, they were all small shrimps to him.

As a world-class director with a great reputation, there is no need for him to take care of the emotions of an actress who suddenly appears.

He's not trying to have sex with her, and she probably won't give him the chance.

If it’s not his woman, little Gilbert usually doesn’t bother to pay attention to her.

His words changed the trajectories of the two actresses. Sister Shenxian was a little disappointed because her mother had already told her how important this movie was.

This movie is the key to increasing international recognition and expanding into the Southeast Asian and American markets.

She has fallen too far behind and cannot afford to lose this opportunity.

But in the end, Shu Chang snatched the role away. Under the influence of her mother, Fairy Sister had different ideas about Shu Chang.

Shu Chang's situation was also complicated, mainly due to family reasons. But it was better this time and did not affect her taking on this role.
