Chen Jinfei hit the idea to Lionsgate, Song Zheng doesn't know yet, but even if he knows, he won't take it to heart, although Hollywood implements the producer system, but in this cooperation, Song Zheng asked the director to be responsible for the system before, and Lionsgate only has the right to suggest casting, and the final decision is still in Song Zheng's hands.

Moreover, Song Zheng now has more important things, first of all, the post-production of "Assembly Number" should be paid attention to, this is the first big production in the real sense after the establishment of 1+1 company.

Although "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Racing", and "Nightclub" have achieved box office results, the investment cost is not large, and at most it can be regarded as a small fight.

"Hurricane Rescue" is co-produced with Huayi Brothers, although the 1+1 company occupies a dominant position, but the outside world does not see it that way, in the eyes of outsiders, "Hurricane Rescue" is Huayi Brothers taking them to play.

"Assembly Number" is different, the exclusive production of 1+1 company, big investment, big cast, this can be regarded as the founding work of 1+1 company.

The outside world doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring.

There is also the revision of the script, the script of "True Lies" has been revised three times after it was completed, the first time is because Song Zheng hopes to increase the marital conflicts between the couple on the basis of the original version.

The second time was because Tang Wei was selected as the heroine, a heroine with a completely different style from the original Angelina Jolie, so naturally she could no longer copy the character settings of the original book, so during the filming of "Assembly", Song Zheng made another modification.

The third revision that is now underway is also because of pulling Huang Lei in to join the gang, which is a surprise for Song Zheng, adding new characters and plots to make the whole story more fleshed out.

In addition, he has to take care of Lin Xinru, so Song Zheng naturally doesn't have the spare time to pay attention to Chen Jinfei's small movements.

And Chen Jinfei really spared no effort for Liu Yifei, and immediately sent the head of the branch in the United States to get in touch with Goodsmith of Lionsgate.

I heard that some Chinese Kaizi is willing to provide a large amount of financial support for the new film, and Goodsmith naturally has no reason not to be impressed.

As for the heroine requested by the other party, he doesn't think there is any problem, this co-production with the Chinese side must use a large number of Chinese actors, only in this way can the Chinese box office results be guaranteed, and on the American side, as long as there is Song Zheng, it is enough.

Although almost half a year has passed since the war of the century, in the United States, Song Zheng's popularity has not diminished at all, and many fans are looking forward to Song Zheng's first movie in Hollywood.

Now as long as you use the position of a heroine, you can exchange a large amount of financial support, and as a shrewd businessman, it is normal for Goodsmith to be tempted.

However, Song Zheng obviously didn't think so, and when he received a call from Goodsmith, he didn't even wait for the other party to finish speaking, and then expressed his opposition.

"No, no, Mr. Goodsmith, I think you have to understand that I am the director of this play, and I choose the actors, and this is my job, and you are overstepping your authority. ”

Song Zheng's reaction was obviously beyond Goodsmith's expectations, and in his opinion, this was a win-win situation in itself.

"Song, is it because I didn't make it clear? The other party is willing to provide half of the total investment in financial support. ”

"He can't even take on all the money, I will only choose the actors who I think are the most suitable. ”

Song Zheng really didn't expect Chen Jinfei's hand to stretch out so long, and he was blocked back on his side, and he actually went directly to the United States.

However, it is also understandable that for a person who is accustomed to using money to open the way, it is a habitual routine to take money to smash.

But even so, Song Zheng never thought of compromise, if this drama really uses Liu Yifei as the heroine, all the characters will have to be changed, and how can a heroine with no acting skills be worthy of such a big production.

Song Zheng is very ambitious for this play, and he hopes to arrange any link according to his own ideas.

Not to mention the heroine, just a supporting role, no one wants to interfere.

"Song, I can understand your thoughts, but I still hope that you will seriously consider my suggestion. ”

Goodsmith is different from Song Zheng, and his first consideration is economic interests.

"No, I don't need to think about it, Mr. Goodsmith, I reiterate my attitude again, the main person in charge of the whole play is me, this is what we said before, and this is also the basis of our cooperation, if this foundation does not exist, I think this cooperation will be meaningless. ”

Goodsmith was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Song Zheng's reaction to be so intense, in his opinion, pulling a financier in and sharing the risk together, and the funds provided by this financier are still free, who can refuse such a good thing.

But Song Zheng was obviously very disgusted with such behavior, and even did not hesitate to terminate this cooperation in order to stop it.

Of course, this is not the result that Goodsmith wants, Song Zheng now has extraordinary popularity in the United States and even around the world, and countless people are paying attention to this new film that is about to start.

If this cooperation ends up yellow because of this incident, it will only be Lionsgate that will suffer.

Song Zheng will not have any loss, let alone miss the opportunity to enter Hollywood, once the outside world knows about the cooperation between the two sides, because of differences, if they eventually die, I am afraid that more big Hollywood studios will immediately wave a checkbook to find Song Zheng.

Goodsmith didn't want to miss the opportunity to cooperate, but he was unwilling to let Goodsmith give up the benefits that were about to come to him.

"Song, I don't understand, the heroine of this movie is a Chinese actor, isn't this bad, and don't you Chinese like to bring juniors?"

Song Zheng said: "These are two different things, Mr. Goodsmith, of course, if the actor you recommend to me is really good, and there is a lot of money, of course I will be very willing to accept it, but the problem is, I have already met the actor you said." ”

Goodsmith chimed in, "She's charming, and she has that kind of classical Chinese beauty, isn't she?"

Song Zheng listened and felt helpless: "Okay, I admit that she is very beautiful, I mean, her appearance is very good, but didn't you find that her eyes are very empty?"

Goodsmith just saw the photo, how do he know what his eyes look like, and he confirmed that Liu Yifei's appearance conditions are very good, so he decided to call Song Zheng, in his opinion, even if this actor's acting skills are very bad, but just because of this appearance, he can attract many audiences.

"Song, although I haven't read the script yet, I think this should be a man's play, what the audience wants to see is you, the heroine, I think a vase is just right. ”

Is the heroine in Lao Tzu's play just for pleasing the eye?

"Mr. Goodsmith, this is not a man's play, and the heroine is not a vase, I need her to have some acting skills, the person you recommend, not suitable. ”

Goodsmith wanted to continue to persuade him, but Song Zheng ran out of patience: "Okay! That's it, Mr. Goodsmith, I have to say that I am very dissatisfied with your interference with my casting, and maybe, I should really reconsider whether the cooperation with your company is still necessary." ”

Song Zheng has already drawn the line, and how to choose the rest is a matter for Goodsmith.

Song Zheng couldn't see what kind of expression Goodsmith was looking on now, but it was conceivable that he must be very angry now.

Indeed, when Goodsmith heard this, there was a moment when he really wanted to tell Song Zheng that the cooperation between the two sides was over, and then let this self-righteous Chinese get out, Hollywood does not welcome such people who do not follow the rules.

But he knew he couldn't do that, and too many studios in Hollywood were eager to work with the Chinese.

At least, before Song Zheng's movie hit the streets, it was indeed the case.

Goodsmith can only endure this breath, Hollywood is like this, there is no absolutely strong party, now Song Zheng takes the initiative, if Goodsmith still wants to continue to develop this cash cow, he can only choose to accept.

"Song, I'm sorry, I have no intention of challenging your rights, since you are not optimistic about this actor, then okay, I can refuse them. ”

Song Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, of course he didn't want to fall out, after all, there are indeed many companies that Hollywood wants to cooperate with him, but none of them can offer such generous conditions.

Of course, if Goodsmith had to agree to such a cooperation, he would rather give up this cooperation.

"Thank you, Mr. Goodsmith, you made the right choice. ”

That's right?

Goodsmith's heart was still bleeding.

That's a lot of money.

"I hope so, okay, Song, can I ask about the script now? I can't wait, and now I want to know what a wonderful story we can dedicate to the audience in the summer season!"

The cooperation agreement reached between the two companies at the beginning, the film was to be released in the summer, but until now, he still knows nothing about the movie, and he doesn't even know what type of story this movie is about.

But can Song Zheng tell him?

It's a pity that Goodsmith's previous attempt to challenge Song Zheng's rights has made him lose Song Zheng's trust.

Since Goodsmith can interfere with Song Zheng's casting work for Chen Jinfei's money, who knows if he will get the general plot for the sake of money, throw Song Zheng away and go it alone with this idea.

"Not yet, Mr. Goodsmith, I will continue to revise the plot, but I can assure you that this story will not disappoint you, and certainly not our audience. ”

When Goodsmith heard this, he didn't take it to heart, anyway, before the group was established, he still had the right to review the script, if he was not satisfied, the film would not be able to be filmed, and he was not worried that Song Zheng would make trouble.

"Okay, but it's a shame, and of course, it's making me look forward to it more and more!"

Hanging up the phone, Goodsmith looked at his right-hand man Phil Alex sitting in front of him, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Phil! ”

Alex laughed, "He refused, right!?"

Goodsmith spread his hands, and he still couldn't understand Song Zheng's choice: "That's right, he refused, Phil, that Chinese Song is really as stubborn as you think, his temper is as hard as his fist, I really don't understand, why did he refuse, it's just a vase character, although I don't know the plot yet, but, isn't this play the main purpose of highlighting his product? He really needs to refuse such a large sum of money for the role of a vase!"

Alex said: "Actually, I can't understand it, but I guess he will definitely choose this way, Mr. Goodsmith, China Song is a very proud person, this can be seen from the fact that he dares to challenge thirty fighters alone, he will never allow his authority to be challenged, I have to say, in this matter, we are indeed crossing the line!"

Compared with Goodsmith, Alex has been in contact with Song Zheng for a longer time, and in his position, what he is best at is figuring out people's hearts.

Song Zheng usually looks harmless to humans and animals, occasionally speaks without going through his brain, and sells cuteness from time to time, but in the bones of this person, there is an unusual toughness.

Look down on me, I will beat you until you are convinced, challenge my bottom line, and I will let you lie down and cry.

To treat such people, you should coax them.

Alex understands, but Goodsmith doesn't understand, he just stands in the perspective of a businessman, considers the problem by colluding with mutual interests, and doesn't provoke Song Zheng, that's called a strange thing.

But fortunately, Goodsmith is not a fool, he can distinguish the stakes, and losing a large amount of money is a small matter, and losing Song Zheng, a cash cow with great potential, is a big deal.

"Mr. Goodsmith, there is nothing to be sorry for this, because I believe that what the Chinese Song Dynasty can bring us will definitely be far greater than what we have lost today!"

Goodsmith laughed: "You are so confident? You have to know that the Chinese Song is just a newcomer to Hollywood!"

Alex also laughed and said, "But have you ever seen a newcomer with such a big influence like him!"

A one-on-thirty PK match, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the battle of the century, Song Zheng's strong combat effectiveness has made the whole United States crazy, and now Song Zheng is going to launch an action movie again, do you say that the audience will break the threshold of the cinema.

Even Bruce Lee, who conquered the entire United States with a pair of fists back then, I am afraid that he would not have such treatment.

On this point, Lionsgate can't be too accommodating to Song Zheng, as long as he can bring enough benefits to the company, what is the strange temper, this world, but all the characters who are awesome in a certain field, who has not had a strange temper.

"Mr. Goodsmith, I am confident that the Chinese Song will definitely drive American audiences crazy, and the question we have to consider now should not be the immediate gains and losses at all, but how to keep him in Hollywood!"

Goodsmith shook his head and said, "Phil! What do you mean?"

Alex said: "Don't you feel that the Chinese Song has always lacked enthusiasm for Hollywood?"

Goodsmith thought about it, and felt that this was really the case, Song Zheng didn't seem to want to integrate into Hollywood from beginning to end, otherwise, who could turn around and leave when a movie was popular and had a strong topicality.

"Okay, you're right, Phil! Go and inform the other party that their terms have been rejected by our partner, but we are looking forward to the next opportunity to cooperate!"

Alex nodded, "Okay! I'll do it!"

………………

Chen Cang's strategy to secretly cross Chen Cang was ineffective, of course, Chen Jinfei didn't know about it now, and after accepting Liu Yifei yesterday, he immediately contacted a personal trainer through his relationship to teach the fairy sister to punch and kick.

Although this is completely unnecessary in Liu Xiaoli's opinion, Chen Jinfei is very insistent this time, and Liu Yifei himself has no objection, and when he learned that he was expected to star in Song Zheng's new film, he happily went to practice.

Liu Yifei has extraordinary confidence in Chen Jinfei, the godfather, because since she was a child, as long as Chen Jinfei agreed, she has never been disappointed.

And Chen Jinfei never thought about what would happen if things turned yellow, he was a person who believed in the supremacy of money, in his eyes, there was nothing in this world that money couldn't do, of course, except for Song Zheng's time.

Because of this, Song Zheng was directly nicknamed the second pole in his heart.

On the first day of Sanda practice, Sister Fairy walked happily and returned dejectedly, originally full of interest, but after a whole day of boring practice, her interest dropped directly to the freezing point.

When she returned home, she didn't dare to complain, she also knew that this opportunity was not easy to come by, and the godfather's pocket would definitely bleed again, and it would be too chilling for her to complain about this little thing.

Liu Yifei could bear it, but Liu Xiaoli looked at Liu Yifei's tired and almost collapsed appearance, and she was very distressed: "Sissi, if you feel too tired, let's forget it, even if it's an action movie, you don't need to go into battle in person in every scene, isn't there a stand-in?"

Liu Xiaoli's idea is more direct, since it is something that can be obtained by taking shortcuts, there is no need to toss yourself so hard.

Liu Yifei didn't squeak, sat for a while and went upstairs to take a shower.

Chen Jinfei waited for Liu Yifei to leave, and then said: "Xiaoli, Sissi didn't complain, why are you still discouraged with the child, she is not young now, although I can protect her, I should also let her know the benefits of hard work." ”

Liu Xiaoli wanted to refute, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only sit on the side in a muffled voice.

Chen Jinfei was about to say more, the phone rang suddenly, and after connecting, his face suddenly became very ugly.
