Chapter 328: Mr. Bodybuilder Arnold
Chapter 328 of the text Mr. Bodybuilder Arnold
Next chapter
Last month, after the painting of "The Seven Deadly Sins", "The Sixth Sense" was released, that is, during the Halloween schedule. Of course, "The Sixth Sense" is not a pure thriller.
At that time, Wu Cheng also paid attention to the report here, and when "Seven Deadly Sins" was released, some people were ridiculed because of the box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" of more than 50 million.
But now the appearance of "The Sixth Sense" has directly shut up many people, and its box office growth is actually the same as the movies of "Home Alone", showing the posture of a dark horse, counterattacking all the way up, and slaughtering the list all the way during the Halloween schedule.
Now the box office has exceeded 200 million, and there is still a week to go.
I believe that when the painting is made, the box office of "The Sixth Sense" may reach 210 million or 20 million.
Although this film was released during this period, it is not a pure thriller, and the family relationship told by the thriller elements in the film is still very close to the mainstream values of the United States.
Therefore, many film critics have given it positive reviews and affirmed.
Although it is a horror thriller, there is still an endless stream of people watching it.
And now, it is already the beginning of December, "The Sixth Sense" is about to be drawn, and the film "First Blood" has also entered the promotion stage, ready to be released at Christmas or New Year's Day.
At this time, Wu Cheng went to the company, in addition to paying attention to the box office results of "The Sixth Sense", he also had to pay attention to the publicity of "First Blood".
Although "First Blood" cannot have a strong box office like "The Sixth Sense", this film can always make a sequel.
"Hey, Cheng, long time no see!"
When Wu Cheng got out of the car and came to the company, he happened to see Stallone and a strong brother walking out of the company, and when he saw Wu Cheng, Stallone looked surprised and said, "Shouldn't you be romantic with Anji in the UK at this time?"
For Wu Cheng's three celebrities, or directly talking about women, Stallone is naturally very clear, especially Zhao Yazhi. When "Rocky" was released, Zhao Yazhi was also there.
At that time, Stallone knew that Wu Cheng, a young man, had a confidante older than him, and he was also a very beautiful and gentle woman. As a result, when Wu Cheng came to California, he brought Deng Lijun again...... And two or three months ago, Wu Cheng brought another woman over, and the two women are still living together, and I heard that they are pregnant.
In this regard, this gentleman, who has played an Italian stallion, is extremely admired.
"What's the matter? Has our news reached North America?" said Wu Cheng with a smile.
"Of course, you're not a nobody like us!" Stallone laughed.
"You're not a nobody now! Stallone. Wu Cheng said, glancing at the tall strong man beside him with interest, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and his gaze swept over the strong man a few times unabashedly, "This is, Mr. Bodybuilder?"
The strong man was a little embarrassed, and stretched out his hand to Wu Cheng without confidence, "It's a pleasure to meet you here, Mr. Wu! I don't know what merit I have, I was able to enter your eyes, I was surprised......
"Isn't there a surprise?" Wu Cheng said with a smile.
As a result, the bodybuilder actually blushed a little.
Seeing Mr. Bodybuilder like this, Stallone couldn't help but roll his eyes and wonder: Who said that this big guy can't act? With his cheeky skin, how can he be so shy?
Stallone felt that this big man was obviously acting in front of Wu Cheng. And looking at Wu Cheng's interested, Stallone felt a little pressured.
Although his current reputation is much greater than that of the big man in front of him, this qiē ...... Although Stallone felt that even without Wu Cheng, he would have achieved what he has today, but he knew very well that as long as the person in front of him valued him, then he only needed a light hand, and he could bring that person out. Just like Meryl Streep, the heroine of "The Sixth Sense".
You must know that that woman, although she is twenty-eight years old, is just a newcomer who has just debuted. But now, with just such a film, her worth has exploded.
It is conceivable that if Wu Cheng values the bodybuilder next to him and gives this bodybuilder a role, then, who dares to deny that this bodybuilder will not be another him next year?
In terms of image, with the body shape of this bodybuilder, he is also taking the path of an action actor. In this way, it directly becomes a competitive relationship with him.
Moreover, in terms of body size alone, Stallone is somewhat unconfident, after all, the person next to him was born in bodybuilding, with a body of muscles, and he has been trained to be quite stylish.
Therefore, when he saw Wu Cheng like this, he was secretly worried.
"Okay, I'm just kidding!" Wu Cheng smiled and said, "However, I am indeed very optimistic about Mr. Schwarzenegger, with your size, you can completely follow the path of an action actor." That's why I'm going to ask Mr. Ovitz to sign you, and next year, I'll have someone prepare a film for you. I think, with this film, you will be the next Sylvester!"
Although I don't know why these two people came together, maybe it was because his little butterfly was flapping its little wings, which made these two tough guys friends...... Maybe they've been friends for a long time, but who knows!
It's just that when these two people came together, it reminded Wu Cheng a lot.
However, even if they are not friends now, it is more than enough to use Mr. Breeder/Horse's current fame as a role model for Mr. Bodybuilder.
"Really? Oh sorry! I'm so excited, really, thank you so much!"
Being able to get Wu Cheng's personal commitment is more useful than anything else. He believed that with Wu Cheng's status, it was impossible to deceive him in this kind of thing.
Wu Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I can understand!"
Stallone smiled when he heard this: "I don't think he will be the next Silvester, but the first Mr. Schwarzenegger!"
Wu Cheng felt that this was Stallone being humble, but in the end, he was right.
After making a joke, Stallone said again: "By the way, it's almost noon, do you want us to have a cup of coffee together and have lunch by the way?"
Wu Cheng waved his hand and said, "No, I have something to do with Shirley, you can go!"
Wu Cheng walked and said goodbye to the two, and after walking a few steps, he turned around again and said with a smile: "Maybe in more than ten years, the two of you can join forces to star in an action movie...... I think the audience will be looking forward to your cooperation at that time. ”
“……”
After Wu Cheng finished speaking, he left with a smile, but when the two heard this, they looked at each other.
More than ten years later, who would have imagined it?
They naturally couldn't imagine that more than 30 years later, they, action actors, would join forces to act in a popcorn movie like "The Expendables", and the box office would not be bad.
Although "The Expendables" is suspected of pure money, it is undeniable that when Wu Cheng watched this film, he did watch it with great feeling, and he didn't need to bring brain cells to watch it.
……
"I saw that bodybuilder out there just now, what's the matter?
Wu Cheng came to Shirley's office and asked the female president of DreamWorks with some curiosity.
"Are you talking about Mr. Schwarzenegger?" Shirley put down the pen in her hand and got up, "What do you have to drink? Why did you have time to come to me today? Don't you need to accompany them?"
"You know, Angie can't stay here for too long, we've been out on a trip for about half a month. Wu Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Don't drink anymore, wait a while and have lunch, do you have a date?"
"Of course, there is a free lunch, I can't ask for it!" Lan Xin smiled: "As for the two who went out just now, one came here because he wanted to cooperate with the company's publicity." And the other Mr. Bodybuilder...... I said he wanted to treat me to lunch, would you believe me?"
Wu Cheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "I believe this! Don't look at that guy is very shy in front of me, but I know that he is not a vegetarian! Moreover, our president lady is so beautiful and intellectual, it is normal to attract him, isn't it?"
Shirley Lansing shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "I don't dare to say that I am a beautiful and intellectual lady in front of you, I really feel ashamed compared to Anji!"
Wu Cheng covered his forehead, rolled his eyes and said, "Please, don't compare with her, even if you are more beautiful than them, but in my eyes, you are still inferior to them......"
"Of course, I know, you Orientals often say '...... out of the eyes of a lover'?"
"I think you should improve your Chinese level appropriately!"
"Okay! It's always so much trouble to follow a Chinese boss!"
"You should be glad that you have mastered one more language!"
Wu Cheng teased Lan Xin for a while, and then chatted about work.
First, the box office share of "The Seven Deadly Sins", then the follow-up promotion of "The Sixth Sense", and then the promotion and release of "First Blood......
Although Wu Cheng has not been involved in these things, he needs to know at least the situation.
Speaking of which, DreamWorks has never failed in its development to this day, from "Rocky" to "Home Alone", to "Star Wars", and then "Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Sixth Sense", every film is a big profit for the company.
As the company's president, Shirley Lansing, naturally contributed a lot.
And Lan Sing himself has been very comfortable in DreamWorks, and Wu Cheng, as the boss, has always known how to delegate power. Although Wu Cheng asked about many things, he never commanded them randomly.
Even the opinions he puts forward are often eye-catching, and then they are readily accepted.
In the end, Wu Cheng got up and said, "Now, it's time to prepare our own cinema!"
Shirley Lansing's eyes lit up when she heard this. (To be continued.) )
