When Goodsmith heard Song Zheng introduce Tang Wei as the heroine of this play, he was first stunned, and for this cooperation, he also did some science popularization in the Chinese entertainment industry, of which the most concerned is the actress. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Song Zheng rejected Liu Yifei, who went through the back door, Goodsmith also wanted to see what kind of actress Song Zheng would choose to interpret this role.

Before, Goodsmith thought about the international chapter, after all, among Chinese actresses, there are only two people who have enough weight, one is Gong Li, who is too old and Song Zheng is not suitable for playing husband and wife, and it is almost the same as playing mother and son.

Gong Li burst into tears, the Lun family is not so old!

The rest seems to be the international chapter, and the original "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made the international chapter also have a lot of popularity in Hollywood, so that the first thing Americans think of when they mention Chinese actresses is her.

Of course, Goodsmith also thought that Song Zheng would choose a Hollywood actress to play the heroine, and those super celebrities definitely can't, although Song Zheng is very influential in the United States, but it is not enough for those super celebrities to put down their bodies and play with Song Zheng, and they are still acting in a popcorn movie.

Super celebrities can't do it, Hollywood still uses many second-tier and third-tier female stars, in Goodsmith's opinion, as long as the heroine of Song Zheng's movie is beautiful and sexy enough, it is no problem.

However, he never thought that Song Zheng would choose one, uh, Tang Wei!?

Who is Tomway!?

Goodsmith looked at Alex, who shrugged his shoulders and said he hadn't heard of it.

Unlike Goodsmith, Alex knows more about the Chinese entertainment industry, but he has never heard of the Chinese actress team, and there is also a person named Tang Wei.

Moreover, I have to say that Tang Wei's appearance is very ordinary, even if the aesthetics of the East and the West are different, but Alex is still not optimistic about Tang Wei's appearance, he is very temperamental, but he is not beautiful.

It looks like it's full of oriental women, this genre, will American audiences like it?

"Song, is this your final decision!?"

Tang Wei's English is very good, so she can naturally understand it, and besides, this big old beauty has been staring at herself just now, can she still not know the hidden meaning behind this sentence?

Tang Wei wanted to defend himself and prove that he was capable of playing this role well with practical actions, but Song Zheng was still on the side, even if he wanted to refute, it would not be her turn.

Since there is no actor, Tang Wei simply deserted his head, look at this, look at that, uh, it's really nothing to look at, the kind of office that often appears in American dramas is not tall at all.

Tang Wei even thought that once Song Zheng couldn't withstand the pressure and really replaced her, she would not be ready to leave, even if it was to make a small scene with the group, she would follow to finish filming this scene.

Song Zheng didn't know what Tang Wei was thinking, and when he saw Goodsmith questioning his vision as soon as he came up, he immediately turned cold: "Yes, Mr. Goodsmith, Miss Tang Wei is my final choice, I know that she does not conform to the traditional concept of beauty in Western audiences, and she does not have much experience in acting, but I believe that she can play this role well, please believe it." ”

What if you don't believe it!?

Goodsmith felt very aggrieved in his heart, although he knew from the beginning that in this co-production, their side would not take the initiative, but he didn't expect that Song Zheng would be the main player in everything, and he couldn't even express his doubts.

"Well! I trust your vision!"

Goodsmith has already decided in his heart that this play is a man's play, and the main performance is Song Zheng, it doesn't matter who the heroine is, as long as Song Zheng can make the audience feel enjoyable, it's OK, just like in the ring last year.

"So, can I read the script now!?Song, you've been keeping it a secret for a long time, and now it's time to uncover the mystery, right!?"

Goodsmith came here today just for the sake of the script, and from beginning to end, he didn't know a little about the script.

"Of course!"

Song Zheng followed Ren Tong for a while, and Ren Tong took out an English version of the script and handed it to Goodsmith.

"True Lies?"

Goodsmith smiled and looked at it seriously, but from the beginning to the end, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

The story is indeed a good story, although it is very cliché, the hero and heroine work together to defeat the bad guys, and finally live happily together, this kind of theme is very common in Hollywood.

But Song Zheng's ability to tell stories is very strong, and what the hero and heroine save is not the world, but their marriage, which can be regarded as a different way, the best thing is that the role setting of the hero and heroine lives under a roof, but they don't know that the other party is a professional killer, and it is still the kind of legendary nature.

The story is not blindly fighting, but within the cloak of an action movie, it tells a very serious story about marriage and family.

If on another occasion, if Goodsmith saw this script, he would definitely applaud loudly, a cliché stalk can be re-stirred so wonderfully, it is undoubtedly a good story, and if it is filmed, it will definitely be a hit.

But the problem is that the person who gave him this script was Song Zheng.

In the whole story, the roles of the male and female protagonists are the same, and they do not focus on the other side from beginning to end, and even from the perspective of interpreting the role, the heroine's role is more profound.

Let an unpleasant and inexperienced Chinese actress play such a heavy role?

Is this crazy?

From the very beginning, regarding this cooperation, Goodsmith didn't expect the storytelling of the movie, he only thought that Song Zheng could show his fists and feet in the movie, just like Bruce Lee back then, and conquered the American audience with his fists and feet.

But Song Zheng was beyond his expectations, not only telling the story seriously, but also telling such a profound story.

Of course, if the heroine of this story is a Hollywood star, it would be fine, but Song Zheng chose the Miss soup in front of him.

"Song!"

Song Zheng didn't wait for Goodsmith to finish speaking, so he preemptively said, "Mr. Goodsmith, are you still satisfied with the script?"

Satisfied?

Of course yes!

This is completely at the level of Hollywood's first-class screenwriters, but the problem is, that's not what I want Nima!

There are indeed a lot of fight scenes in the whole story, and they are also mixed with grabbing, blasting, and speeding cars, but you just need to show these aspects with peace of mind!

For Mao, you have to pretend to be deep and explore married life!?

To put it bluntly, what the audience wants to watch is a movie in which Song Zheng kills the bad guys with one punch and one kick.

But can you say that you are not satisfied!?

Goodsmith smiled bitterly and said, "Song, I think you should show more of your Chinese kung fu in the movie, that's what your fans are looking forward to." ”

Of course, Song Zheng knows that the reason why he is popular in the United States is not because he knocked out 30 opponents in one breath in the ring, but he doesn't want to simply be a star, but he is more willing to tap his potential in performance.

"Of course, I can understand the fans' expectations, but I don't just want to show them Chinese kung fu. ”

Song Zheng's tone seemed very serious, Goodsmith listened, he didn't know how to refute, and he suddenly thought that the person in front of him was not Cheng Long or Li Lianjie, who just came to the United States to fight the world with a pair of fists.

Before coming to Hollywood, he was a double actor in Cannes and Berlin, and his acting skills were highly recognized by two of the three major European actors.

For this glory, many Hollywood big stars have not been able to do it before.

Goodsmith suddenly found that he seemed to have no room to refuse, if he refused, Song Zheng could go to other companies to cooperate, just because of Song Zheng's popularity in the United States and such an excellent script, I believe that no company would refuse.

"Okay! I'm looking forward to it!"

Goodsmith can only grit his teeth now and continue to choose to believe Song Zheng.

There is no problem with the script, and then it's time to component the crew, originally Song Zheng planned to use the old team he was used to in China, but on this issue, Goodsmith also showed a very tough attitude.

In the end, both sides made a compromise, using Song Zheng's people for some positions, and staff arranged by Lionsgate for others.

It only took a week to complete all the preparations, and with this high efficiency, Feng Xiao had to die of shame and indignation.

Everything was ready, Lionsgate took the lead and held a start-up press conference, for Song Zheng's first film in Hollywood, people have long been looking forward to it, and the media received the news and sent people over as soon as possible.

At the press conference, there were only Song Zheng and Tang Wei on the stage, as well as Lionsgate's representatives Phil and Alex, with the host on one side, and hundreds of reporters sent by the media sat in the audience.

In this big battle, Song Zheng suddenly became more than excited.

Nima!

At the beginning of the press conference, Alex first announced the cooperation between Lionsgate and Song Zheng, and then briefly introduced the information of the film, of course, the plot cannot be revealed.

Next, entering the media question session, Song Zheng's proper protagonist, Alex, as a representative of Lionsgate, was naturally taken care of by many reporters, and Tang Wei, who was sitting on the side, was naturally ignored.

"Mr. Song Zheng, may I ask if this cooperation with Lionsgate, is it an action movie as people expect, or a realistic literary film that you are better at in the past?"

Since last year's shocking ring match, Song Zheng's previous resume has long been flooded, and after understanding, they found out that Song Zheng was so ~~~~~~ awesome.

Nantes Three Continents Film Festival Best Actor, Cannes Best Actor, Berlin Best Actor, good guys, just Cannes, Berlin's two actor crowns are enough to make Song Zheng brush to the extent of forcing him to fly.

If there are so many big stars in Hollywood, how many of them have won the best actor in the three major European film festivals, not to mention that they are still double.

Therefore, although people are looking forward to an action movie that can make people's blood boil, it is not ruled out that Song Zheng will choose to find another way and come to a literary film to torture the nerves of all fans.

Song Zheng listened to it and pondered: "Strictly speaking, this should be an action movie, but I also mixed a lot of different things in it, and the reason why I did this was because I hoped that the movie itself could show a certain depth." ”

It's hairy!

The audience wants to see you bare-chested.

"Mr. Song Zheng, this cooperation with Lionsgate, are you going to develop in Hollywood in the future?"

Song Zheng didn't even think about it, and said: "I don't know what the definition of development in Hollywood is, whether to settle in the United States, or only take on movies produced by Hollywood in the future, if that's the case, I can only say that I'm not ready to leave China completely, I don't look at the quality of the play, but look at the quality, and I also have a production company, at least, I can still put down my business in China!"

The reporter didn't get the answer he wanted, and sat down in some frustration, and his peers around him looked at him with contempt.

What a great opportunity to ask questions, just TM wasted like this!

Stupid or not!

What a broken question to ask.

Another reporter was ordered to stand up: "Mr. Song Zheng, the previous release of "Hurricane Rescue" was through Columbia, what made you abandon your partner and cooperate with Lionsgate instead!?"

Eh! That's what you can ask!

Song Zheng had already talked about it, and some people would find fault at the press conference, so he was not in a hurry, and said: "It's too surprising to abandon this word, and I never said that Columbia is the only partner of our company in the United States, and the previous "Hurricane Rescue" was handed over to Columbia for distribution, and that was because of the conditions put forward by the other party, which made me very satisfied, and similarly, the cooperation between our company and Lionsgate was also promoted because the other party showed enough sincerity!"

"So does it mean that you will cooperate with other companies in the future, including Columbia, for the same reason!"

Song Zheng said: "I don't rule out this possibility, but at least now our company's partner is Lionsgate, and I also believe that this cooperation can be satisfactory to both parties and very pleasant!"

Song Zheng's answer can be described as leaky, and the reporter is naturally very disappointed, they don't know that in Song Zheng's eyes, they are just a group of low.

It is true that the news industry in the United States is more developed than in China, but when it comes to the level of reporters digging pits, these American reporters are at most at the level of elementary school students, and even those media powers in China who are familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War and thick black studies cannot dig out a breaking point in Song Zheng's mouth, let alone them.

Loser, you are still too tender, you have time to learn from your Chinese counterparts, it will be of infinite use!
