Chapter 245 Follow me to film "Rocky"

"Tiger, are you crazy! He is a humiliation among actors, and I will not allow you to let him participate in the performance!" Winterdur said angrily.

Wang Xiaohu frowned slightly, he didn't expect that Stallone's reputation is so stinky now, so bad that everyone in the industry is "famous and frightened", "Listen, Old Wen, I don't care what pornographic or trashy films he has made before, anyway I want to decide on this person! It doesn’t matter if you don’t let him act in "Enter the Dragon", I will let him shoot my new script!"

The two people argued loudly at the scene, and all the actors and media reporters who participated in the interview could hear it clearly, and the discussion filled the audience for a while.

"The Italian stallion? God, how could such a guy be favored by an oriental director? It's unbelievable."

"I can guarantee that this oriental kid has a big problem with his eyesight, and he actually appreciates pornographic actors!"

The reporters exchanged their opinions in low voices. Their minds were already filled with various ideas. It seemed that they would have something to play for tomorrow's news.

The actors who came to the interview shook their heads and sighed, maintaining great doubts about Wang Xiaohu's appreciation.

"Look, this is the taste of oriental directors. If it wasn't for Bruce, I would want to leave now."

"David, maybe you're right, we'd better leave!"

"Unexpectedly, I am not as good as a stallion! They Warner wants a stallion, why do we have to do it?"

Many actors vented their dissatisfaction and left, but there are still more actors who choose to stay.

"Are you sure?" Winterdur's excitement eased after hearing that Stallone was not allowed to play. He raised his eyebrows and said, "God, you scared me just now. As long as you don't let him play, you can do whatever you want." You can do whatever you want, but as your friend, I would like to offer my kind advice, you'd better not use that person!"

"Thank you for your advice. Old Wen, this is the list of actors I selected. Someone call Sylvester over here. I want to talk to him alone." Now that there is a future action superstar like Stallone, Wang Xiaohu will no longer Interested in the actor audition, he simply handed the selected list to Winterdur.

"Good luck!" Winterdur generously asked the staff to call Stallone, then shook his head and sat down to talk to Bruce Lee, continuing to announce the work of the actor audition.

Wang Xiaohu left the rostrum with a bitter smile, and was stopped by Bruce Lee within a few steps: "Xiaohu, although I don't know why you are interested in that person, but I think you must have your own reasons for doing this. I can understand the struggle in Hollywood. bitterness."

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Thank you for your trust. Brother Xiaolong, you just don't think I'm messing around. Remember to use the actors I noted, the others really don't have any special features."

In a temporary office, Wang Xiaohu sat on the sofa and looked at Sylvester Stallone in front of him, this tough guy who had been rated as the top 100 movie stars in the world and listed among the top 20 action superstars many times in his previous life. At this time, he was looking at himself anxiously, his eyes were full of inferiority complex and longing.

Yes, Wang Xiaohu thinks that he has not misread the longing element in Stallone's eyes, the kind of eyes that yearn to be discovered by others, he himself once had, and it is stronger than Stallone's.

Looking at the restrained Stallone in front of him, Wang Xiaohu couldn't match him with the most successful movie actor in the world. After a long time, he said, "Sylvietus, it's a pleasure to meet you." Passionate right hand.

Stallone seemed a little flattered. He wiped his right hand on his clothes several times before slowly stretching it out: "Hello." Not long after Stallone was born, he was injured by medicinal tweezers on the facial nerve, which caused the left cheek His muscles were paralyzed, his left eyelid and left lip were drooping, and his speech ability was greatly affected, so it was difficult to speak clearly, but it did not affect Wang Xiaohu's ability to understand him.

After saying this, Stallone didn't know what to say, he just felt himself trembling, because no one had ever looked at him with such enthusiasm as Wang Xiaohu, it was a look of appreciation and encouragement, he felt very comfortable.

"You can call me Tiger." Wang Xiaohu smiled and sat opposite Stallone and said, "How old are you this year?"

Stallone's expression was a bit dull, and he replied blankly: "26 years old." Then he moved his buttocks a few times, raised his hand and said, "Mr. is that true?"

"I said, you don't have to be so nervous." Wang Xiaohu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Actually, I'm only 19 years old this year, and we are considered the same age. Yes, I want to make a movie for you."

"God, I heard you right, I'm shooting another movie." Stallone suddenly covered his face with his hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. young director, please forgive me for losing control of my emotions, I, I Really excited, I never thought I would get a film offer, you know last year when I auditioned for "The Godfather" I got ridiculed a lot, they said I did porn, I was ugly, and rejected me for various reasons , only directors of those pornographic films would look for me, these past few years I'm really, really desperate! Thank you!"

"I also want to thank you, you gave me a big plan!" Wang Xiaohu thought happily in his heart.But he said humorously: "Aren't you afraid that I will also ask you to make pornography?"

"Oh, no! Don't make me despair again." Stallone was dumbfounded, and then he was relieved when he saw Wang Xiaohu's face was joking, and the atmosphere between the two of them finally got better.

"Listen, maybe you have heard something, yes, we are a Chinese film company, Bruce Lee is the big boss of our company, I am the second boss, can you understand that, I have the right to decide my own Who is the actor, and after seeing your name, I feel that you, a big guy, are very pleasing to the eye, and I invite you to shoot a film, what's your opinion?"

"Of course I agree!" Stallone said without hesitation: "Director, what kind of film do we want to shoot."

"It's definitely not pornography!" Wang Xiaohu said in a very sure tone: "Look at your size, it would be a pity if you don't shoot action movies."

After being confirmed by Wang Xiaohu, Stallone finally believed that this was the truth. The sincerity shown by this young oriental man moved him again. Yes, he has always been rejected by his peers, and he was even ridiculed by his classmates when he was in school. As "the person most likely to end his life in the electric chair", his special family background and his own defects made him very distressed. He did a lot of stupid things to prove his importance.

But today, the words Wang Xiaohu talked to him made him feel that he was no longer alone. The two of them were like old friends who had known each other for a long time. The gloom caused by the exchange was swept away.

Through the conversation, Wang Xiaohu learned that Stallone has switched to writing scripts, and he is half of his peers, and the two of them have a common language. He found that Stallone is very talented in script creation, and he also wrote a copy of "Flounder" this year. "The Master of Master" was bought by the film dealer. This time he heard that the oriental superstar Bruce Lee was going to come to Hollywood to make a film. He signed up with the mood of giving it a try, but he was rejected by others, but in the end he still played some tricks to make his name appear. in the list.

While writing, Stallone also began to find some temporary small roles in off-Broadway theaters, and appeared in Woody Allen's "Bananas", but these intermittent performance experiences did not bring him By any chance, no fan knew who he was.Until today, Wang Xiaohu gave him a hope!
"Oh, my brain is a little hyperactive now, and I don't know how to express my gratitude to you." Stallone shook his head and said, "Tiger, you know, I stand at the end of the line, and I never thought that I would be directed Roll call, at first I thought who was joking, because most of the actor unions now reject me. I feel very honored."

"You have actually said this sentence more than ten times, so don't say thank you now." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Listen, if you have no objection, how about we sign a contract?" , I have a script in my hand that is tailor-made for you."

"Why not!" Stallone clenched his fists and said, "As long as you give me a chance to perform, I will definitely work hard! Now I am eager to make a film, and I want to find my dream!"

"Yes, get back your dream!" Wang Xiaohu patted him on the shoulder and said approvingly: "Sylvester, what you said is great!"

"Director, what's the name of your script, and what kind of role will I star in?" Stallone asked impatiently.

""Rocky"!" Wang Xiaohu said the name firmly. In fact, he almost blurted out "First Blood", but he chose "Rocky" after a second thought.According to Wang Xiaohu's memory, "Rocky" is very similar to Stallone's own experience.Historically, in 1976, Stallone wrote the script "Rocky" based on the reality of life. This small-cost movie that took only two months and cost $100 million caused an unprecedented sensation when it was released.

"Rocky" also won the Oscar Film Awards in one fell swoop, and Stallone himself was nominated for Best Actor and Best Screenplay, which established Stallone's status as a leading figure in Hollywood.Until Wang Xiaohu's rebirth, Stallone had filmed 22 films, including many commercial blockbusters that would go down in the history of film. The "Rocky" and "First Blood" franchises have grossed more than $20 billion.Stallone himself is now one of the highest-paid actors, with a single-film remuneration exceeding 2000 million US dollars.

"Since the reporters in Los Angeles like to talk about "The Godfather", then I will not be polite. Using "Rocky" to play a warm-up match with "The Godfather" just happens to be famous in Hollywood!" Wang Xiaohu thought of these, The corners of the mouth curled up involuntarily.
