Chapter 168

Originally, Song Zheng finished instructing Shang Jie, and he didn't think that the United States would be able to wear back the news immediately, but he just waited with one mind, anyway, the filming of "Mourning the Heavenly King" will continue for a while, and it will be the second half of the year to start a new drama, he never thought that Leonardo DiCaprio would call directly.

When he received the call, Song Zheng had just finished a war scene, and in the whole play of "Mourning for the King", the scenes between the battle formations accounted for almost two-thirds, and Song Zheng could almost say that he had completed the role of Ran Min on horseback.

As soon as the phone rang, he groped for a long time, found the mobile phone next to him, and threw a sentence directly after connecting, but he never expected that the other party actually replied with a sentence in English.

Maybe he was too tired, Song Zheng didn't react for a while, and he didn't understand until the other party repeated it again, but the first thought that came to mind was: This Nima shouldn't be a liar, right?

It's no wonder that Song Zheng expressed his suspicions, Leonardo DiCaprio is a big star in Hollywood, they didn't have any friendship before, and they hadn't even met in person, and suddenly someone called and said that he was Xiao Lizi, and everyone should be suspicious.

Song Zheng resisted the urge to hang up the phone, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Leonardo DiCaprio?"

"Yes! it's me, you can call me Leo!"

Song Zheng also came to his senses at this time, and realized that this should not be a new method of telephone fraud, after all, no one would make such a big battle to cheat money, and his number is only available to friends around him, no matter how clever the scammer's methods are, he will not know that he really wants to invite Leonardo DiCaprio to film.

"Hello! Leo, I didn't expect you to call directly!"

According to the normal routine, even if Xiao Lizi falls in love with his script, he should contact Lionsgate first, what does it mean to call directly now?

DiCaprio also knew that he was a little reckless, but he really had too many questions to ask in his heart, and it was too troublesome to go through Lionsgate, so he thought of calling Song Zheng.

"Director Song, I may be a little rude!"

Faux pas?

Song Zheng didn't think so, and it was obviously better for him to be able to communicate directly with DiCaprio: "No! I didn't mean that, so ~~~~~~ Leo! You called and wanted to tell me something? I think you should have read my script." ”

"Yes, I've seen it, Director Song, to be honest, I like this story very much, and I really like the way you handle the character of Glass. ”

When Song Zheng heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "So, are you willing to accept my invitation to star in this movie?"

Among the young generation of actors in Hollywood today, there are few who are impressed by Song Zheng, and even fewer can be called admired, but DiCaprio is definitely one of them.

In terms of acting, DiCaprio's strength naturally has nothing to say, but what Song Zheng values more is DiCaprio's serious attitude towards the profession of actor.

Song Zheng watched "The Revenant" in his previous life, and DiCaprio's performance in this movie, I believe everyone who has seen it will be impressed.

As a big star in Hollywood and an idol worshiped by countless people, DiCaprio has no need to fight so hard, it can even be said to be desperate, and there are many threatening shots, which can be completed with a stand-in, but DiCaprio not only insisted on going into battle in person, but also did it to the extreme in order to be able to interpret this role well.

This hardship is really not something anyone can bear, but DiCaprio persevered and gave the most wonderful performance.

This is also the reason why Song Zheng must find DiCaprio to play this play, there may be a little preconceived factor in it, but Song Zheng is more convinced that no one can play the role of Glass except DiCaprio.

In the face of Song Zheng's enthusiasm, DiCaprio seemed very calm: "Of course, I'm also looking forward to it, I've watched your "Inception" and "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds", to be honest, after watching it, I can't believe that these two movies were actually completed by one person, written, directed and acted, and the styles are completely different, I think there is only one explanation, the person who completed these must be a genius!"

Song Zheng had long been accustomed to being a copyist, so he accepted DiCaprio's praise with peace of mind: "So what!?"

"I'm looking forward to working together!" DiCaprio laughed, "However, I still have a question, it has nothing to do with the story itself, I just want to know, Director Song, you are also a very good actor, why don't you play the role of Glass yourself!?"

Why didn't Song Zheng act by himself?

Regarding this point, DiCaprio is indeed very confused, there is no need to be arrogant, single-round acting skills, DiCaprio feels that Song Zheng is not only worse than him, but even better, after all, Song Zheng has the crown of Cannes and Berlin, and he has nothing to win in terms of awards.

Moreover, Song Zheng's physical fitness is very good, he still remembers the one-on-thirty battle that shook the whole United States, and if Song Zheng plays Glass, I believe it can be done better.

But why didn't Song Zheng act?

The more DiCaprio thought so, the more he felt that if Song Zheng played this role, it might be a better choice.

Song Zheng smiled when he heard this: "Leo, you must know that a person's energy is limited, and I can't always take care of both roles, and since you have read the script, you should know how difficult it is to play the role of Glass, and there is another reason, I can't play it myself, I need Glass in this story to be a white man." ”

DiCaprio was stunned for a moment, thought about the script he had just read, and immediately understood what Song Zheng meant: "That's right! Glass should be a white man!"

"Now, then, would you like to accept my invitation?"

DiCaprio smiled and said, "Director, how long do I have to prepare for this role!?"

Listening to DiCaprio say this, it is clear that he has already decided to accept the invitation.

Song Zheng couldn't help but feel ecstatic, he was still worried that people would not look down on him as a director from China.

"Leo, you've got plenty of time to prepare for the role, in fact, I'm working on a movie right now, and according to the plan, it's probably going to be three or four months away. ”

DiCaprio listened, thought about it in his heart, and said, "Okay! I'll notify my agent and contact Lionsgate!"

Although it will take three or four months, or even longer, for "The Revenant" to start, DiCaprio doesn't mind at all, and even in his opinion, the time Song Zheng left him to prepare for this role is a little short.

You must know that DiCaprio is notoriously serious in Hollywood, unlike those actors who are crazy about taking on dramas and making fortune after becoming famous, DiCaprio treats every role with 100% dedication, and after debuting for so long, not only has he never been in a role, but he rarely even shoots two plays a year, in order to have more time to prepare for each role.

In his previous life, DiCaprio starred in "The Revenant", in order to be able to play the role of Glass, he even went to a person with rich experience in survival in the wild in advance to learn all kinds of knowledge, in order to be closer to the role in the image, he also worked hard to gain weight, and then exercised, and changed from a cream boy to a rough and rough strong man.

This serious attitude alone is enough to make many young actors ashamed of themselves.

The two chatted a few more words before ending the call, and successfully invited DiCaprio to star in the new film, Song Zheng also felt very happy, and his body, which was originally very tired, suddenly became a lot easier.

"Who was you talking to just now!?"

Ning Hao walked over, stretched out his hand to pull Song Zheng up, and asked casually, just now when he was arranging the next shooting work, he saw that Song Zheng had been on the phone.

"You'd never think it's Leonardo DiCaprio!"

When Ning Hao heard this, he hurriedly said, "How is it?

Song Zheng nodded: "He has agreed to star in my new film." ”

Although DiCaprio lacks a trophy of enough weight to establish his position in Hollywood, his popularity is definitely among the best among Hollywood male stars, and he doesn't know how many fans there are in the world.

Now that DiCaprio is starring in Song Zheng's new film, this alone is enough to attract the attention of many people.

Ning Hao listened, to say that he was not jealous at all, it was obviously a lie, seeing that his good buddy was really going to enter the mainstream circle of Hollywood, but he could only mix in China, it would definitely be a little unbalanced.

But fortunately, Ning Hao is open-minded, and he is relieved if he is a little awkward, he knows that what Song Zheng said before is not wrong at all, he is not suitable for Hollywood, even if he goes hard, it is estimated that there will be no good results.

"Okay!Zhengzi, have you rested enough, let's get ready for the next one!?"

Song Zheng saw Ning Hao's face change just now, and he could guess what he was thinking, but he didn't break it: "Okay!

"Zhengzi, you have to be careful with this scene later~~~~~~"

Song Zheng didn't wait for Ning Hao to finish speaking, and then interrupted him: "Pull it down! It's the same thing for you every time, I know what to do!"
