Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 579 Hollywood Star Joins!
"Western face?"

Liu Yuan pondered for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Then which student of mine do you plan to use? Also, what film did you make?"

"A military action movie!"

Li Zhifan said frankly, "The filming is not only hard, but you may also get injured during the process. I have to tell you this in advance, and it is convenient for you to pass on the notice. Which one should you use specifically, or can you recommend it, Brother Yuan?"

"There are five of them, except for Lele, the other four are suitable!"

Liu Yuan said word for word, "However, I don't recommend any of them!"

"Ah? Why?" Li Zhifan exclaimed.

"Because, I have a better candidate to recommend to you!"

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Tell me, how much salary can you offer?"

"Five hundred... 1000 million!"

Li Zhifan said, "It's worth 1000 million yuan, RMB!"

"Okay, I see! I'll help you get in touch right now, and let her call you back then!"

After Liu Yuan finished speaking, the call hung up.

Li Zhifan put away his phone, looked at Wang Yue and spread his hands helplessly: "Teacher Liu Yuan, I don't know who he introduced to us."

"I don't think it's reliable!"

Wang Yue said, "Even if Mr. Liu Yuan helps you find one from the United States, it won't take a week? Can you be sure? Let me tell you, even if things go smoothly, the contract will be negotiated, plus training time, it will take at least a month."

"what……"

Li Zhifan rubbed his chin, thought for a long time, and had to say, "Just wait a day... two days, if Teacher Liu Yuan can get it done in two days, then we can talk about anything, if it can't be done, we will choose someone here."

"it is good!"

Wang Yue nodded, "Just two days, no more!"

"Tell me about the other characters! Dad and those foreign mercenary characters, how did you find them?"

Li Zhifan picked up the casting folder and continued to look at the information of many foreign actors, some of whom were developed in China, and they mainly developed in Xiangjiang.

"It's not easy to choose the anti-number one!"

Wang Yue said, "Currently, I have found three suitable candidates, let's take a look!"

"Ok!"

Li Zhifan read the resumes of these people first, and they all starred in many domestic movies. Maybe some audiences have impressions of them, but from the perspective of most Chinese audiences, they actually look similar.

Wang Yue said: "The quotations of these foreign actors are lower than those of the second-tier actors in the mainland, especially those foreign actors who have been filming in Xiangjiang all the year round. The salary is only 10,000+ and they can get it done!"

"Oh?" Li Zhifan smiled, "It's pretty cheap. How's their acting skills? Have you watched it?"

"The acting skills are good!"

Wang Yue said, "At least it's not bad."

"Ok!"

Li Zhifan nodded, and was just about to decide on one of the three candidates for the villain when the phone rang in his pocket.

It's an unfamiliar number, and it's an international call. It looks a bit like Internet dialing.

Li Zhifan thought it was Liu Yuan, so he answered the phone and said, "Hello? Brother Yuan?"

"Hello? Mr. Li Zhifan!"

There was a female voice on the phone, she was fluent in Chinese, but the accent sounded a bit weird.

"Hello, who are you?"

Li Zhifan was taken aback for a moment, could this be the actress Liu Yuan introduced to him?
"I'm Celine Lilith!"

Said over there, "Have you forgotten me?"

"Celine...Lilith?"

How can Li Zhifan forget, this name is probably known to most Chinese people.

But she is a singer, an international first-line singer, Liu Yuan recommended her to play in her department?impossible!
"I didn't forget, I didn't forget, of course I didn't forget!"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "Miss Lilith, you are looking for me...it is..."

"Hmm! Teacher Liu Yuan said, you need a European and American actress to make a movie?"

Lilith was straightforward, "Of course I am recommending myself, I wonder if you want me?"

"you……"

Li Zhifan explained, "Miss Lilith, of course I know that you are an international first-line star, but this movie is an action movie, there are many action scenes, and there are also scenes of gunfire, what do you think..."

"I'm fine, and I want to try!"

Lilith said, "You may not know that in the American entertainment industry, it is difficult to cross boundaries between singers and movie actors. I want to act, but I can only make some TV series. Have you watched the TV series I acted in?"

"This does not……"

Li Zhifan said truthfully, "But I will look for it, Miss Lilith, are you really confident? I don't know about the conditions in the action scene..."

"I'm sure I'll be satisfied!"

Lilith directly grabbed the words, "I have been trained in shooting, riding and boxing since I was a child, and I am a director of the California Shooting Association. My marksmanship is no worse than those professional actors."

"Oh haha!"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "Seeing what you've said, I won't give you face if I refuse again! How about it, can you come to China within two days? Let's have an interview and confirm the itinerary. Arranged."

"Of course! I can ask my agent to book a flight right away!"

Lilith agreed, "But I have one more thing, I might trouble you!"

"What's the matter?" Li Zhifan asked.

"That's... do you still need foreign actors for this movie?" Lilith asked.

"Foreign actor?" Li Zhifan asked suspiciously, "Of course there is such a role. To tell you the truth, the villain needs a foreign actor, but we already have three candidates."

"Ah! That's great!"

Lilith didn't care what Li Zhifan said, and said directly, "Li, can you sell me a favor? I want to help my husband. He...hasn't acted in Hollywood for two years, but don't worry about his acting skills." , he has been nominated for Oscar for Best Actor many times!"

How many times has he been nominated for an Oscar winner?
Li Zhifan was puzzled, such a character is considered a first-line actor in the United States!

How could it be that there was no filming for two years?
And who is this person?
"What's his name?" Li Zhifan blurted out.

"Ole Calcos!" Lilith said, "He is a very good actor. If you can also invite him, the salary of the two of us can be counted only by me!"

If Lilith starred in a movie in Hollywood, her salary would definitely not reach 1000 million.

Because the Hollywood film market has an extremely strict hierarchy, how much you pay depends entirely on whether you have had a box office hit or a high-profile film in the past three years.

Not only actors, but also directors.

If not, then I'm sorry, even the former actor, the king of yesterday, can only get a very ordinary salary.

And for a singer who has never acted in a movie, the salary for the first movie is even less, and it will never be like the domestic entertainment industry, where people order dishes.

Even if Lilith was filming a TV series, the salary for an episode would only be tens of thousands of yuan, it would be better to listen to her give a concert to earn more money.

So when she heard that Li Zhifan could offer 1000 million yuan to find an actress, her first thought was not whether she could accept the 1000 million yuan, but how to persuade Li Zhifan to bundle her husband who had become a second-rate actor in Hollywood .

Li Zhifan knew about the name of Ole Calcos earlier than Lilith. He thought that this guy started making movies in the 90s, and he made many blockbuster action movies back then, which was also the first time Li Zhifan knew about it when he was young. One of the Hollywood action stars.

He has been nominated for Oscar winner many times, and the number of nominations has reached [-] times, but he has always been with him.

At first, it was because he acted in action movies. The Oscars, which place more emphasis on literature and art than technology, will only be awarded to those literary and artistic films, and commercial films have always been missed.

Later, Ole Calcos moved to literary films, but he has already missed the best years of his life. Although his acting skills are excellent, they are too greasy. Even the acting skills of drinking a glass of wine in literary films are full of the atmosphere of acting in commercial films—— Pretending to beep too much.

Therefore, the actor and him are naturally out of luck.

This guy hasn't had much of an impact in the last decade or so.

Everyone in the industry said that he was useless in making literary films. As a result, he couldn’t even receive Hollywood action films. He could only accept some action films from Mexico, England, France, Italy, and Australia. In recent years, he even went to Japan. , South Korea took over action movies, but they can only play villains.

Being bundled and sold by Lilith this time, I am afraid that he just wanted to take the opportunity to open up the door in the Chinese market, just like what he did in the Japanese and Korean film markets before, and continue to make money.

"It's actually him!"

Li Zhifan was very surprised, "I didn't expect him to be your husband, so I'll give it to you. Come to China! Let me know when you confirm the itinerary!"

"Thank you, Lee! Thank you so much!"

Lilith yelled happily, "I'll book a ticket right now, and try to take the earliest flight to BJ."

"Okay, welcome to come!"

Li Zhifan laughed, "Welcome-to-Beijing!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhifan smiled at Wang Yue: "Come on, we have both female number one and anti-number one!"

"Are you really going to use them?"

Wang Yue said, "This Ole Calcos is fine, his acting and action skills are very good, but this Celine Lilith... is purely for popularity, I have never seen her movies before."

"She said she acted in a TV series, you can look online to see if there are any video materials!"

"Then I'll look for it!"

Wang Yue opened the notebook and searched it cracklingly.

I can't find the complete video in China, only some introductions, but I can watch it on the Internet through a VPN. I found all the TV series she has acted in, and they are all sitcoms about life.

Except for one of which is the starring role, most of them are cameos.

In the starring role, she still played a female white-collar worker who dreams of being a singer. She danced and watched a few scenes, and half of them were her singing in a bar or on a competition stage.

"Are you sure, she..."

Wang Yue was still sweating, and worried, "If you are serious, I am not particularly optimistic, but if this drama is just for fun, you can do whatever you want."

"It's too early for us to say anything!"

Li Zhifan said, "When she comes, go directly to the film and television base, there is a shooting range over there, and you will know if you try the show."

"Ugh!"

Wang Yue sighed, "Actually, think about it differently, we are all the same. You are also a singer, and I have never made an action movie. Fifty steps laugh a hundred steps."

"Okay!"

Li Zhifan laughed, threw the folder in his hand on the table, and said, "How is the team preparation going?"

"I contacted a Hollywood filming team. On-site set shooting, special effects, special effects, and post-production are all collaborations between the two parties, but they are the main ones." Wang Yue said, "Most of our company's work is allocated to Director Huang. They're gone."

There are countless film production teams in Hollywood. It is said that in one building, there are hundreds of film companies, shooting whatever types, including pornographic ones.

In fact, the six Hollywood giants are mainly engaged in investment and distribution. The production is basically subcontracted. Most of the production comes from the studios acquired and supported by the six major companies, and there are also those small companies that have just started. Make a movie and go to the six major distribution companies, or shoot a section of more than a dozen copies of the film, and then go to the six major investors with the script.

Except for large-scale commercial films shot by super directors, the rest of the movies come from this way.

And even big directors have their own production teams, which are about the same size as those studios.

"Then when will this team arrive?" Li Zhifan asked.

"the day after tomorrow!"

Wang Yue said categorically, "I have contacted them a long time ago. We will provide the equipment and equipment. They are only responsible for shooting and on-site lens effect design."

Li Zhifan said: "Then Lilith and the others are probably coming the day after tomorrow. Let's get together and talk!"

"The team asked for a production fee of 1000 million US dollars, which is more than 6000 million!"

Wang Yue stretched his waist and said, "Half of this money has to be prepared in advance and paid to them first."

"Ugh!"

Li Zhifan scratched his head, "Lei Shanhe's second investment will take two weeks, if not, let's invest part of it first!"

"I think so too!"

Wang Yue said, "But this Boss Lei is also the same. Since the guarantee agreement has been signed, and the money is paid in batches, if you want me to say, you should let him pay it off in one lump sum."

"I want it too!"

Li Zhifan said, "It started burning money before it was turned on, and when it turned on, there will be more places to spend money. I will call Lao Lei tomorrow and remind him."

……

Online.

The news of the filming of "The Truman Show" by the Extreme Men's Gang has already begun to be promoted enthusiastically.

The official blog not only announced all the actors, but also announced the director and screenwriter. The reason why the screenwriter was announced was because Li Zhifan provided the script for this play, so netizens were very surprised and looked forward to it after seeing it.

What surprised me wasn't that Li Zhifan was actually the screenwriter, but why he didn't write and direct it himself, and only played a small supporting role.

But at the same time, the audience also began to look forward to it, because they thought that the script written by Li Zhifan would not be bad.

After the news came out, it also attracted the attention of Xinfeng Entertainment.

In the chairman's office, Zhu Youxue sneered, "He's actually a screenwriter? He wants to fight you!"

Finally able to sit in front of Zhu Youxue, Qiu Dao Zhan Yu originally thought that he was looking for something good, but it turned out to be because of this, so he agreed with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, don't worry, this is the main theme, but it has the support of the Nanjin Military Region Yes, their big variety show movie is just for ticketing, what can they make? Think about it and you know, it must have something to do with the content of the variety show, hehe, wait for it to be sprayed by the audience!"
