Chapter 286: Arrangements for Li Yajing
John's joining gave Xu Yang a deep confidence in the branch of Dream Entertainment in Los Angeles, and then he also had full faith in the movie "Transformers" that John was going to shoot next.
On top of the investment alone, it is a full 200 million US dollars, and naturally, the source of this part of the money is still jointly taken out by his "investment team" in China.
In addition to movies, Xu Yang also commanded a lot of things.
First, let Joan and John find as many theaters as they want to sell, and they will buy them by Dream Entertainment.
Second, let Jiang Ying and Yang Mu find some toy design companies or factories in Los Angeles and even most of the first- and second-tier cities in the United States, the movie "Transformers" will be filmed, and naturally, the derived Transformers toy models must also be implemented as soon as possible, which is a big market!
Of course, regarding the design of the model, Xu Yang has a deep communication with John, and has generally reached a consensus, waiting for the "excellent masterpieces" of those animation companies and model designers!
In addition to the United States, there in China, Xu Yang also gave Cao Han a warning, theaters, and Dream Entertainment Company will continue to expand, after all, I don't know when it will be a stalemate with Wasp Entertainment Company, so it's right to prepare in advance. Moreover, it is the same in China, let the processing plant make the same toys as the United States, as for the convenience of the drawings, just communicate with Jiang Ying at that time.
When things were almost arranged, Xu Yang said goodbye to Jiang Ying and Yang Mu, and took Liu Ruoning on the plane back to China.
......
Li Yajing has not been to Los Angeles for the time being since she returned to China a year ago, after all, when she was in the past, the most important purpose was for her to open the European and international markets, and now she has also won the honor of the Grammy Award.
After all, since the beginning of the year, Cao Han has packaged her, and for a while, in the domestic music industry, her reputation is very high, but unfortunately, she has released so many songs by herself, which is not worthy of her status in the music industry.
In order to make up for this, Xu Yang also personally prepared two songs for her, one "Stuffy" and one "Laughing and Forgetting Books".
The other songs are songs that Cao Han bought for her through the company's resources.
Li Yajing's recording speed of songs is also very fast, and she completed the recording of an album in just four days, and then, Cao Han quickly released the album when she was on fire in the domestic entertainment industry.
Not to mention, there are really a lot of people who give face.
In just half a month, the album sold 1.2 million copies, which can be described as a unique scene.
The preliminary positioning of Li Yajing has been completed, and next, Xu Yang began to further build her.
At the headquarters of Dream Entertainment Company in China, Xu Yang likes the two people most, one is Li Yajing, and the other is Su Wan'er, but most of the roles played by Su Wan'er in China are as gentle and friendly as the little sister next door, even if she played a thief Wang Li in the filming of "No Thieves in the World", but in the eyes of domestic audiences, she is still the little sister next door, and her image is difficult to change for a while.
For Su Wan'er's arrangement, the most daring attempt, Xu Yang only put her on the Giselle of the "Fast and Furious" series of movies, as for other roles, for the time being, Xu Yang has not thought about it, after all, for the grasp of Hollywood movies, Xu Yang is also slowly trying, what kind of role Su Waner can create, she really doesn't know, after all, the preferences in the eyes of international audiences are a little different from those in China.
Based on this, Xu Yang only asked her to study there for the time being, and then experienced in "Fast and Furious".
However, Li Yajing, who is different from her, was a little unexpected by Xu Yang, when she first met her, it was in the TV series "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky", and later, I found that she sang very well, and let her go to the music world, and after arriving in Los Angeles, I came into contact again, but in the mouths of Jiang Ying and Yang Mu, I came up with a "wild" word.
It's not that she's very "wild", but that she has a wild beauty in dancing.
This, or at the beginning Xu Yang listened to Yang Mu, once, a group of them went to KTV to sing, but as a result, they were not happy, and went to the bar to play, and it was at that time that Yang Mu found out that Li Yajing's dancing was very good.
First, Li Yajing had contact with dance when she was a child, and then practiced with Master Ai Yao for more than a year of professional training, not to mention that she was particularly outstanding, but it was certain that she could perform on the stage.
If they hadn't said it, Xu Yang would have almost forgotten about it, in order to train them, Xu Yang also specially asked Ai Yao to help these people strengthen their practice of dance, and as a result, Li Yajing studied hard alone.
In order to learn more about Li Yajing's professional dance, after she released the album, Xu Yang asked her to come to the company's singing room at random.
As a result, much to Xu Yang's expectations, Li Yajing's level of flexible dance is average, but those European and American dances with "wild beauty" are very artistic.
After reading this, Xu Yang's mind suddenly remembered a character, Michaela Bans.
This character is the heroine of the movie script "Transformers" written by herself not long ago, and the character design is a car thief, but the character revealed in the script is a strong and good girl who protects her father from harm, and at the same time, it is also the object of the pursuit of the movie actor Sam Witwich.
Her image in the movie is sunny, beautiful, and full of positive energy in life.
At the same time, the side she shows in the movie is very resilient.
In Europe and the United States, there are many more audiences who like such characters than those who like "soft".
And Li Yajing, a girl with a yellow complexion, "soft" when she is quiet, and "wild" when she dances, plus giving her the identity of "stealing a car", I believe that it will definitely make everyone's eyes shine.
After all, the "car thief" with a dance background is more ornamental.
After she finished dancing, Xu Yang directly told the other party about her decision to let her play the role of Michaela Bans, if she agreed, she could leave for Los Angeles immediately, if she didn't agree, then forget it for the time being, after all, this is a Hollywood-style blockbuster, or a movie that is particularly in line with the European and American markets, and there are many "kissing" plots in the plot.
In the same situation, many domestic actors will resist when they act in this kind of play for the first time, especially people like Li Yajing who have never officially fallen in love.
However, to Xu Yang's surprise, Li Yajing was very happy to play this role, and she didn't care at all about the "kiss scenes" that Xu Yang told her, and said: "When I first came to audition, I was already prepared, not to mention, it's been a few years, and it's still such a big series of Hollywood movies, I don't want to miss it." ”
Li Yajing said that the audition was the audition when filming "Eighteen-year-old Sky".
Since she didn't care about it herself, Xu Yang simply agreed.
That movie, there is a lot of preparation work in the early stage, after all, most of the scenes need to cooperate with the design of the model, and before this is completed, the crew will not be the first to be formed, which is also what John meant, many big directors do this, afraid that it will be too troublesome to shoot and produce in the later stage, so they put some things before shooting the movie.
Before the crew started up, pull Li Yajing over, John won't say anything, besides, now he is already a member of Dream Entertainment Company, the actors sent by the boss, as long as he feels that his acting skills are online, he will use them, and it is also the responsibility of the crew to train the actors to enter the play.
However, just before Li Yajing was going to act in the United States, Cao Han deliberately let her participate in a domestic variety show, after all, the new album she released is now a big hit, and she has also won the honor of the Grammy Award.
The crew on the side of the United States will take at least half a month to be formed, and at this time, there is just time for Li Yajing to have more influence in China.
