Just as the reporters were chasing and intercepting Lin Xiao, a jerky Mandarin sounded.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Lin Xiao?"

"He really passed." In the residential building, Li and Annie raised their eyebrows slightly.

Annie said puzzledly, "If I remember correctly, Jonny belongs to Paramount's contracted casting director. After the contract expired, he didn't renew the contract, but went to Korea to develop..."

"He came to China to cast a role?" Li's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Lin Xiao seems to have a little reputation in Japan and South Korea... Yes, Huapi did have a beautiful New Year's battle... However, this result is only It just made him 'enter the field of vision of Japanese and Korean filmmakers'."

He glanced at Annie, "Annie, you'd better make up your mind. If he accepts Jonny's invitation, I'm afraid our film... will have no chance."

Annie frowned tightly, staring at Lin Xiao's figure.

She also feels that it is difficult to let go. According to her mood and environment, it may be better for Lin Xiao to play the role.But the obvious difference between Asians and Europeans made her unable to decide.

While she was hesitating, Jonny had already introduced himself.

"CJ Entertainment?" A reporter started talking in a low voice. "It's unknown, which Hollywood company is this? I've never heard of it."

"It's not a Hollywood company." The veteran entertainment reporter next to him looked serious, "It's one of the eight major film companies in Korea!"

"A Korean company? Why did they come here?"

Lin Xiao was also puzzled, "What can I do for you?"

This tall and tall old beauty almost rushed into the reporter circle by taking advantage of her body.

"Can I speak to Mr. Lin alone?" Johnny asked.

Lin Xiao thought for a while, "Yes."

The driver opened the car door, left the curious reporters on the floor, and walked away.

"Annie, he's already in the car." Li smiled and said, "It seems that you don't like him very much."

Annie had already broken free from hesitation, and nodded with a smile, "If this wasn't a cowboy movie, I might have chosen him without hesitation, but..."

She shook her head, "Asian cowboys are too hard to convince..."

"That's right." Li nodded. "Cities and shootouts can all use Asian actors, but when it comes to making westerns with a pure American flavor, Asian actors are always inferior to local actors."

"Then contact Heath Ledger." Annie nodded and said, "As for Ennis...let's look for it..."

Lin Xiao didn't know that the two left quietly, because Jonny had already caught his attention in the car.

"Are you the character director?" He asked again.

"That's right. Mr. Lin, there is no character director in China, let me explain to you..." Johnny said quickly.

Lin Xiao shook his head lightly, "No, I understand."

"China is different from European and American regions, and even South Korea. It is not a producer-centered system, but a director-centered system." Lin Xiao continued, "So the positions of foreign filmmakers are quite different from those in China, such as artists, due to the division of labor in Hollywood. Fine, the actor is so simple that as long as he can finish the lines in the script with the tone, movements and expressions that meet the requirements of the script, he is considered a good actor. There is no need to figure out the subtext behind the script. This is something that Oscar winners only try to figure out. That's why European filmmakers laugh at Hollywood actors as puppets."

"And the character director is different from the director. He is only responsible for the casting. Mr. Johnny, am I right?"

Johnny looked at Lin Xiao in surprise. Although the other party didn't finish speaking, he had no doubt that the other party had such a deep understanding of Hollywood rules.

If there are sub-markets in the film and television industry in the world, there is no doubt that the country is a huge market, and a continent is a bigger market, and Hollywood is a pyramid standing on top of all markets.

Before he came, he had thoroughly investigated Lin Xiao's information. The country's top red star has a slight reputation in the Asia-Pacific region. This name was earned by the film Huapi. Japan and South Korea have his fans, but most of the local films People are very unfamiliar with his name.

In other words, Lin Xiao is at a critical turning point from a local red star to enter the Asia-Pacific market. In the next two or three films, it is doomed that he will break into the entire Asia-Pacific region, or retreat to the domestic market.

It is not an ordinary difficulty to break the chain of culture and let everyone accept your own movies.

"Then Mr. Johnny, which tycoon's employees do you belong to?" Lin Xiao said with a half-smile, "You want me to drive the Chinese box office to come to you, Lionsgate? Miramax? Time Warner?"

"Mr. Lin, you guessed wrong." Jonny calmed down and laughed. "I don't belong to the United States, but to South Korea."

"Let me introduce you formally." He handed out a business card, "One of Korea's 'Big Eight', director of CJ Entertainment, Jonny Jackson."

CJ Entertainment!Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the name.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." He reached out his hand and shook the other party's hand. "I don't know why the director of CJ Entertainment wants me to do it?"

"It's like this." Jonny also spoke smoothly. "We have a very good book, and we want to try the Asian screening. I don't know if Mr. Lin is interested."

This is the way Americans talk about business. They don't like to go around, but go straight to the point.

If you agree, you will talk, if you don't agree, you will break up.

"What book?"

"A horror movie," Johnny said, laughing, with some indecipherable rigidity in his smile. "Oh, or a thriller. Science fiction."

Lin Xiao frowned again.

Korean horror films, a few years after Japanese horror films became popular, exploded their skills. Later generations, Thailand and Japan are also known as the origins of the three major horror films.

However, he has already deliberately refused.

How much is he worth?Although he went abroad, his reputation is not much different from the second- and third-tier artists in Japan and South Korea, but his worth is far behind. There is no need for him to lower his reputation for a small-budget horror film.

Seeing Lin Xiao frown slightly, Jonny immediately said understandingly, "Mr. Lin, we know very well that you are at a critical moment to go abroad. How could it be possible to find some small productions to shoot for you? Your domestic fans will not agree. Isn't it?"

He cleared his throat and looked at Lin Xiao sincerely, "The director of this movie is director Feng Junhao!"

It was him!

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up for the first time.I immediately guessed which movie Johnny was talking about!

This is a big opportunity!

Bong Joon-ho has the reputation of "Korea's best director", but in this era, he has just finished filming "Memories of Murder," which has become famous, and his reputation is rapidly rising.

He seldom shoots thrillers and horror films, and the first Memories of Murder has already been filmed, so... only the next one is left!

He took a deep breath and asked, "What's the name of this movie?"

"Hey!" Johnny said seriously.

Indeed it is!

Lin Xiao almost burst out laughing in his heart.

Chi, this name may not be known to many movie fans, but its other name is probably a household name.

Because of its reputation, its real name is almost forgotten by everyone.

As the second film after Midnight Bell to enter the European and American markets, it swept all the awards in Korea that year, including the six major awards of the Blue Dragon Award, the biggest award in Korea, the Cannes Audience Award, the most movie viewers in Korean history, and the best film in the first Asian Film Festival. The general existence of the monster really deserves its name.

魊, the host.

Chinese remake, Japanese remake, American remake... South Korea spent 100 billion won, or [-] million U.S. dollars, and nearly one billion yuan to create the second film. Countless movie fans are eagerly waiting... A ghostly whirlwind really blew up.

As for why they came to him, although Johnny didn't say anything, he could almost guess.

South Korea became the first foreign country in Asia to make big fortunes in China when the Hallyu wave came in in 99. At that time, ses, babyvox, Shinhwa, and hot were all popular in China. They have tasted the sweetness of China, and they always want to go deeper.

However, following the three major films, it was the two major films that joined forces at that time, abruptly blocking the impact of the Korean TV dramas and movies that followed.

The method is very simple. The perverted review by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is enough to stop most foreign films. At present, there are only two foreign film distribution rights in China.

Leaving aside Huaxia, which was just established in 03 and is still relatively inexperienced, there is only one of the current three members, China Film Group.

The three departments have tossed foreign films to death.However, with the beginning of the major changes in the film market after China's accession to the WTO, this chain has become more and more fragile.

South Korea, which is so fragile that it is about to move, has stretched out its tentacles again and again, trying to dig gold in China like the Hallyu.

Since it is the Nuggets, they need a wedge. Without exception, the national red star is the best choice, so they chose Lin Xiao.

He pondered.

This film is definitely of great help to him in the Korean market, but it is almost impossible for him to play the leading role.

Because the protagonist of this film is one of the "Troika" of South Korea's national film stars, in this film, a man from cowardly to strong is expressed penetratingly.

In Korea, he also has the nickname "The God of Acting."

This is nothing, but if foreign red stars are played, it is easy to be "priced".

In other words, if he picks up, the Koreans will have an obvious price for him. If it is too high, others will stop looking for you, and if it is too low, Poxiao may not want it.

He also knew very well why there was a trace of stiffness on Johnny's face.

If he remembers correctly, during the few years of planning and filming, this film was wildly criticized by various media, Feng Junhao was under tremendous pressure, and the momentum was almost the same as when he filmed Lan Yu.

Now, maybe it's just a rumor, but several major media in South Korea have already started to attack.

"Mr. Lin?" Johnny's voice came from beside his ears, and he woke up with a start.

"Sorry, I was lost in thought." Lin Xiao said apologetically.

Johnny didn't care too much, "Mr. Lin, we are here this time to invite you to play a role in the play. I brought the script, you can read it first and then answer me. It can be said that you are the male lead..."

Lin Xiao nodded, and suddenly said seriously, "Jonnie, the hero, is there anyone to choose?"

Well, let me tell you a sad news. This book has been warned in the recent net...the reason is that it involves sensitive current affairs...it involves sensitive people (I thought about it for a long time, and I guess it is the four famous ladies)...it involves Large-scale Internet incidents (who can tell me what this is), public incidents...maybe it will be gone...

There are a lot of articles that have been affected in the net. I don’t mind scanning the h articles, but the officialdom and ambiguity are almost wiped out... Now it’s finally the turn of the entertainment articles...

Cough cough... In short, I will work hard to write a day if I am not banned... I don't say I write well, but thanks to so much, I don't think I have filled a chapter!

Whether it is good or not is a matter of level, and whether it is serious or not is a matter of attitude.

But my case is relatively mild, so it shouldn’t be a problem, I should just talk about it and finish it~~

Finally, Brokeback Mountain, I didn't intend to write about it, but it's just a big event in the film and television industry that is about to happen, I just mentioned it as a transition. This type of film can never be repeated. I didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion. Could it be that I have " Previous convictions?"

Finally, PS, I saw that I was writing so hard (taking such a big risk), no, do you want to spend 9 cents for it?It’s more than 6 hours of writing time every day~~ 9 cents can’t be exchanged?

I hate version d...@—@
