Chapter 695: One More Fire

"Refused!??huh!?"

In the general manager's office of Columbia, Glenn Hardy looked at his right-hand man Gary Alaire with a gloomy face, and anyone could tell that he was in a very bad mood. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Just now Alaire brought him bad news, Jason Statham finally refused to play the actor in the adaptation of "Hurricane Rescue".

Jason Statham would refuse, which is not surprising to Hardy, because no one would want to pick up other people's teeth, and now "Hurricane Rescue" is already in hot theaters, and it is only a little short of breaking the 100 million yuan box office mark.

already has Song Zheng's version of "Hurricane Rescue" Zhuyu in front, Jason Statham naturally will not be willing to reinterpret the role of the agent father, if he plays well, others will say that he is imitating Song Zheng, and if he doesn't act well, it will affect his reputation.

Although Columbia had offered tens of millions of dollars after taxes, Jason Statham refused.

"Song has played this role to the extreme, I don't know what other potential I can tap into this role!"

Although he was not surprised, Hardy still felt difficult to accept when he got the news.

Columbia has invested a lot in the new version of "Hurricane Rescue" project, adapting the script, preparing the work, and together throwing in nearly 10 million dollars.

Originally, Hardy was counting on inviting Hollywood tough guy Jason Statham to play this role, and maybe with Jason Statham's fame, he could boost the box office at that time.

As a result, they refused!

"Let's choose someone else! Hollywood doesn't just have a tough guy!"

When Alaire heard this, he complained bitterly in his heart, Hollywood is indeed not only Jason Statham, but those well-known actors, who don't know how to cherish feathers, are willing to come to this troubled water, only those who are not famous are young actors, but can those actors satisfy Hardy?

And most importantly, to please those guys on the board!?

They invest in movies, but they are all for money, without the help of big-name stars, and they are even remaking a Chinese movie, it is foreseeable how dismal the box office will be after the release of Columbia's "Hurricane Rescue".

However, Mr. Hardy, as the boss, has already said that no matter how difficult it is, Alaire can only recruit it.

"Yes, Mr. Hardy, I'll be in touch with the other actors as soon as possible!"

Hardy frowned and nodded, he was really hard to ride a tiger, that project had already invested a lot, and it was impossible to be stopped, otherwise, I was afraid that his position would not be kept, of course, once it was released, the box office failed miserably, and he also had to get out.

Hollywood is such a realistic place, even if Glenn Hardy made a lot of money for Columbia before, it will not change anything, and one failure is enough to get him out.

"I heard that the album of that Chinese Song is about to be released!?"

Alaire hurriedly said: "Yes! That Gao and I have met before, all the formalities have been completed, just waiting for the record to be produced, and it can be released online! Mr. Hardy, do you need me to do anything!?"

Solving all problems for his boss is Alaire's way of survival, and he knows that Glenn Hardy hates Song Zheng because of the new version of "Hurricane Rescue".

This matter really has to be said, Song Zheng is really innocent, the box office of "Hurricane Rescue" is high, which is good for everyone, but the problem is that "Hurricane Rescue" is too successful, which makes the new version of "Hurricane Rescue" operated by Glenn Hardy himself very embarrassing.

"No, Gary, we will do our best to assist them, after all, our cooperation this time is still very pleasant, isn't it our obligation to help our friends?" Glenn Hardy said incorrectly, with a sneer on his face, and then added, "By the way, isn't that show already arranged!? I think that our Chinese friends will also be very happy to arrange the first stop of the promotion at the Voice of Los Angeles, such a popular program!"

Alaire looked at it, and couldn't help but feel chills in his back, this trick is really too bad, who doesn't know that Gail Wood, the host of the Los Angeles Voice, is an extreme racist, and the most hated is people of color, especially Asian.

But since it was Hadi's idea, what could Alaire do, not to mention, he also looked at those Chinese very unhappy: "Yes! Mr. Hadi, I will arrange it!"

Hearing this, Hadi laughed, smiled extremely coldly, and said secretly: Those Chinese have a good idea!

In Glenn Hardy's view, if Song Zheng's album is released in the United States as soon as it arrives, it is destined to suffer a cold reception, because at that time, he is a blank sheet of paper for the American people, and people will not be interested in paying attention to a Chinese record at all, even if it is excellent, I am afraid that it can only be shelved.

However, it's different now, with "Hurricane Rescue", Song Zheng has accumulated a lot of popularity, and many people have paid attention to him, once the album is released, it will only make him pay more attention to him.

Thinking of this, Glenn Hardy couldn't help but feel depressed again, because Song Zheng's album is likely to be a big hit, but Columbia, which provides a distribution channel, will not get any benefits.

"It's all that damn Thomas!"

The terms of the partnership were all agreed upon by Thomas Doug, and Glenn Hardy naturally threw all the blame on the poor Mr. Dog.

It's just that Mr. Hardy forgot that after Thomas's terms were negotiated, he also praised the other party.

Now Glenn Hardy can only pray that Song Zheng's album will fail miserably, otherwise it will only make him look more like an idiot.

Of course, Song Zheng didn't know what Glenn Hardy was up to, and he was discussing with Gao Xiaosong in the hotel suite what to do next.

But after discussing it for a long time, they realized that they could really do very little.

This is the United States, after all!

Even if "Hurricane Rescue" is a success and Song Zheng has a lot of fame in the United States, after all, he is not familiar with the place, and it is impossible for Columbia to really carry forward the spirit of internationalism and help them arrange everything properly.

Especially after the album is released, the question of how to promote it is the biggest problem in front of Song Zheng and Gao Xiaosong, they have no connections at all, and it is too difficult to promote it on the show.

"It's okay!, then the foreigner can still eat me!?"

Song Zheng had a nonchalant expression on his face, he really didn't have confidence before, even if he plagiarized five English rock songs that would be successful in the future Grammys, he still didn't have the confidence to be able to make a name for himself in music in the United States.

However, the success of "Hurricane Rescue" gave him enough confidence, and now he is not afraid of anything.

Song Zheng and his team have been avoiding the Voice of Los Angeles program for the previous trip arranged by the Columbia company, mainly because Gao Xiaosong knows very well that the host of the show is an extreme racist, and the Columbia company is obviously ill-intentioned in arranging this trip.

But now, they have no choice!

Columbia didn't get any benefit from Song Zheng's album, so they naturally didn't want to help, so everything was on their own.

Gao Xiaosong heard this, but he was not at ease: "Zhengzi, you haven't watched that show, let alone you, even if many black singers in the American music industry appear on this show, they will be miserable, that Gail Wood is a madman, he can do anything!"

Song Zheng said with a smile: "This is also the reason why the ratings of his program are high, don't we want to be famous now!? As for being rectified by him, do you think I am the one who will suffer!?"

Gao Xiaosong was stunned for a moment, looking at Song Zheng's appearance, but he was even more uneasy!

He forgot that if Gail Wood was a dangerous guy, Song Zheng was afraid that he would only be more dangerous than the other party.

"Zhengzi! we can't mess around!"

Gao Xiaosong is really afraid that if Song Zheng is on this show, because of some discriminatory remarks by Gail Wood, or some excessive actions, Song Zheng will be, and he will fight in the show at that time, if that is the case, he would rather do nothing, throw an album in the United States and wait for it to ferment slowly.

Gao Xiaosong believes that with the quality of this album, it is only a matter of time before it is recognized by people.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid, so let's go and get in touch with the other party, as long as he can promise me to promote the new album on the show, I'll be on his show!"

Song Zheng is very confident in his current popularity, with the release of "Hurricane Rescue", he is also a celebrity now, if he wants to be on the show, I believe the other party should not refuse.

Moreover, since the Colombian company arranged this trip, it must have been in contact with the other party in advance.

Gao Xiaosong saw that Song Zheng insisted, although he was worried, he could only nod and agree.

When Gao Xiaosong left, Zhang Jingchu immediately walked over and said worriedly: "Brother, do you really want to be on that show?"

I heard Gao Xiaosong say before that this show can't be on, the host named Gail Wood is a very dangerous person who discriminates against all colored people, and Song Zheng will definitely not be easy if he wants to be on this show.

Zhang Jingchu also specially found two episodes of the show to watch it, and after watching it, she realized that what Gao Xiaosong said was still far from Gail Wood's real hosting style.

That guy is a complete madman, he actually once encouraged the guests to compete with a martial arts master arranged on the scene in the show, and the result was that the guest was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face.

When Song Zheng heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry!
