"Western faces?"

Liu Yuan pondered for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Then which of my students are you going to use?" Also, what kind of film did you make?"

"Military action movie!"

Li Zhifan said frankly, "The filming is not only hard, but you may also be injured in the process, I have to tell you in advance, and you can also inform you." Which one to use, or Brother Yuan, can you recommend it?"

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

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

"Ahh

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

Liu Yuan smiled, "Say, how high can you get paid?"

"Five hundred...... Ten million!"

Li Zhifan said, "I died 10 million, RMB!"

"Okay, I see! I'll get in touch with you and let her call you back when the time comes!"

After Liu Yuan finished speaking, the phone hung up.

Li Zhifan put away his mobile phone and looked at Wang Yue 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 will not take a week? Can you be sure that it is still a good idea, even if it is smooth, the contract is negotiated, and the training time is added, it will take at least a month." ”

"Ah......h

Li Zhifan touched his chin and thought about it for a long time, so he had to say, "Just wait for a day...... Two days, if Mr. Liu Yuan's side can get it done in two days, it's easy to say anything, if it can't be done, we will choose someone on our side. ”

"Good!"

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

"Let's talk about the other characters! Daddy and those foreign mercenary characters, how did you find them?"

Li Zhifan picked up the casting folder and continued to look at it, there are many foreign actors' information, some of which are foreign actors who are developing in China, and they are mainly developing in Xiangjiang.

"It's hard to choose the anti-No. 1!"

Wang Yue said, "At present, I have found three suitable candidates, you can take a look!"

"Hmm!"

Li Zhifan first looked at the resumes of these people, they have all starred in many domestic movies, and some viewers may have an impression of them, but in the eyes of most Chinese audiences, they actually look similar.

Wang Yue said: "The quotations of these foreign actors are lower than those of second-tier actors in the mainland, especially those foreign actors who shoot movies in Xiangjiang all the year round, and the salary can be done with only a hundred thousand!"

"Oh?" Li Zhifan smiled, "This is quite money-saving, how are their acting skills?"

"The acting is good!"

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

"Hmm!"

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

It's an unfamiliar number, and it's international, which looks a bit like a network dial-up.

Li Zhifan thought it was Liu Yuan, picked up the phone and said, "Hey, Brother Yuan?"

"Hello, Mr. Li Zhifan!"

It was a female voice on the phone, and she was fairly fluent in Chinese, but her accent sounded a little strange.

"Hello, who are you?"

Li Zhifan was slightly stunned in his heart, could this be the actress Liu Yuan introduced to him?

"I'm Selene-Lilith!"

And they said, "Have you forgotten me?"

"Selene...... Lilith?"

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

However, she is a singer, an international first-line singer, Liu Yuan recommended her to play her own department?

"I didn't forget, I didn't forget, of course I didn't!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "Miss Lilith, you are looking for me...... It's ......"

"Well, Mr. Liu Yuan said, you need a European and American actress to make a movie?"

Lilith was straightforward, "Of course I recommended myself, I don't know if you want me?"

"You ......"

Li Zhifan explained, "Miss Lilith, of course I know that you are an international first-line star, but this drama is an action movie, there are many action scenes, and there are also scenes of bullets and bullets, 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 the border between singers and movie actors, I want to act, I can only shoot some TV series, have you seen the TV series I acted?"

"This, there is no ......"

Li Zhifan said truthfully, "But I'll look for it, Miss Lilith, are you really confident......?

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

Lilith snatched the words directly, "I've been trained in shooting, riding and boxing since I was a child, and I'm a director of the California Shooting Association, and my marksmanship is no worse than those professional actors." ”

"Oh, haha!"

Li Zhifan said with a smile, "Seeing that you have said so, I will not give you face if I refuse! In this case, can you come to China within two days? We will have an interview and determine the itinerary, and we will make full arrangements here." ”

"Of course, I can ask the agent to book the ticket right away!"

Lilith agreed, "But I have one more thing that may bother you!"

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

"That's it...... Do you need a foreign actor for this film?" asked Lilith.

"Foreign actor?" Li Zhifan wondered, "Of course there is such a role, to tell you the truth, the villain needs a foreign actor, but in terms of candidates, we already have three candidates." ”

"That's great!"

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

Nominated for an Oscar multiple times?

Li Zhifan wondered, such a character, that is a first-line actor in the United States!

How could it be that there has been no filming for two years?

And who is this person?

"What's his name?" Li Zhifan blurted out.

"Ole Karcos!" Lilith said, "he's a great actor, and if you can invite him as well, the two of us can be paid just for me!"

If Lilith starred in a movie in Hollywood, her salary would definitely not reach 10 million.

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

Not only actors, but also directors.

If not, then I'm sorry, even if it was a former actor and yesterday's king, he could only get a very average salary.

For singers who have never acted, the salary for the first play is even less, and they will never watch people serve dishes like the domestic entertainment industry.

Even if Lilith goes to shoot a TV series, the salary for one episode is tens of thousands of yuan, which is not as much as the money she earns from listening to her hold a concert.

So when she heard that Li Zhifan could offer 10 million to find an actress, her first thought was not whether she could accept the 10 million, but how to persuade Li Zhifan to bundle her husband, who had become a second-rate actor in Hollywood.

Li Zhifan knew about Ole Karcos's name earlier than Lilith, thinking that this guy started making movies in the nineties, and he made a lot of blockbuster action movies back then, and he was also one of the first Hollywood action movie stars that Li Zhifan's generation knew when he was young.

He has been nominated for many Oscars, and has been shortlisted fifteen times, but he has always been a companion.

Originally, because he acted in action movies, the Oscar awards that emphasize literature and art over technology, and the best film of the actor and actress will only be awarded to those literary films, and commercial films have always been unavailable.

Later, Ole Karcos switched to literary films, but he has missed the best years of his life, although his acting skills are excellent, but they are too greasy, and even the acting skills of drinking a glass of wine in literary films are full of the atmosphere of commercial film acting - over-beeping.

Therefore, the actor naturally has no chance with him.

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

The industry said that he made literary films and scrapped them, but later he couldn't even receive Hollywood action movies, so he could only pick up some action movies from Mexico, Britain, France, Italy, and Australia, and in recent years, he even went to Japan and South Korea to shoot action movies, but he could only play villains.

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

"It's him!"

Li Zhifan was very surprised, "I didn't expect him to be your husband, then I will definitely give this face, you come to China!

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

Lilith shouted happily, "I'm going to book a plane ticket and try to get the earliest flight to Beijing." ”

"Yes, welcome!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "elcome-to-Beijing!"

Hanging up the phone, Li Zhifan smiled at Wang Yue: "Come on, there are both female number one and anti number one!"

"Are you really going to use them?"

Wang Yue said, "This Ole Karcos is okay, his acting skills and action skills are very good, but this Selene Lilith ...... It's just to earn popularity, and I haven't seen her movies either. ”

"She said that she has acted in a TV series, you can look on the Internet to see if there is any video information!"

"Then I'll look for it!"

Wang Yue opened the notebook and found it crackling.

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

Except for one of which is the main actor, most of them are cameos.

In the starring part, she still played a female white-collar worker with a dream of being a singer, and she jumped and watched a few shots, and half of it was actually her singing in a bar or on the competition stage.

"Are you sure, she'......"

Wang Yue was still sweating and worried, "If you're serious, I'm not particularly optimistic, but if this drama is just playing, you can do whatever it takes." ”

"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, just try the play." ”

"Alas!"

Wang Yue sighed, "Actually, think about it differently, we are actually the same, you are also a singer, I have never made an action movie, fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter." ”

"Alright!"

Li Zhifan laughed, threw the folder in his hand on the table, and said, "How is the team's preparations?"

"I reached out to a Hollywood crew, and the set, stunts, special effects, and post-production were all collaborative, but they were the main ones. Wang Yue said, "Most of our company's side has been assigned to Huang Dao." ”

Hollywood has countless film production teams, and it is said that in one building, there are hundreds of film companies, what type of filming, including ****.

Most of the production sources are studios acquired and supported by the six major companies, and there are also small companies that have just started to make a movie by themselves and then find the six major distributions, or make a dozen copies of the film, and then take the script to find the six major investments.

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

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

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

"The day after tomorrow!"

Wang Yue said categorically, "I have already contacted them, we will provide the equipment and equipment, and they are only responsible for shooting and on-site lens effect design." ”

Li Zhifan said: "Then it is estimated that Lilith and they will also come the day after tomorrow, so the two parties will gather together to talk!"

"This team offered $10 million in production fees, which is more than 60 million!"

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

"Alas!"

Li Zhifan was very big-headed, scratched his head, "The second investment over there in Leishanhe will take two weeks, if not, let's invest some of it ourselves!"

"That's what I thought too!"

Wang Yue said, "But this Boss Lei is too, since the guaranteed gambling agreement has been signed, and the money is paid in batches, if you want me to say that you should let him pay it all at once." ”

"I want to too!"

Li Zhifan said, "This hasn't been turned on yet, and it's starting to burn money, and when the machine is turned on, there are more places to spend money, and I'll call Lao Lei tomorrow to urge him." ”

……

Online.

The news that the Extreme Men Gang filmed "The Truman Show" has already begun to be lively.

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 the script of this play was provided by Li Zhifan, so netizens were very surprised and looking forward to it after seeing it.

What is surprising is not that Li Zhifan is actually a screenwriter, but why he doesn't write and direct himself, and only participates in 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 is actually a screenwriter?

Finally able to sit in front of Zhu Youxue, I thought it was something good to find him, but because of this, he echoed and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, don't worry, this is the main theme, but with the support of the Nanjin Military Region, what kind of variety show movie is they playing tickets, what can they shoot? Think about it, you know, it must be inseparable from the content of variety shows, hehe, wait to be sprayed by the audience when the time comes!"
