Martin is a senior agent, with many years of experience in the industry and rich network resources, the only regret is that he has not been able to bring out a first-line star, none of them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Now he has many artists, including newcomers who have just debuted, and some well-known old people, but the one he values most is Kristen Stewart.

Because he relied on his experience and vision, he decided that Christine had great potential and would definitely be among the top stars in Hollywood in time. While bringing him rich benefits, it also brings a happy end to his regrets.

That's why Martin values Christine. I didn't say anything about being deceived by Mai Xiaoyu, and tried my best to contact her with high-quality movie appointments, as well as high-quality advertisements and commercial activities.

After meeting with Mai Xiaoyu, Christine attended two more commercial events and filmed a commercial, both of which Martin had taken over for her before.

In late January, when Christine returned to Los Angeles after the announcement, Martin brought good news and negotiated a contract for her new play, "Happening Now."

A few days ago, Christine politely refused Mai Xiaoyu's invitation on the grounds of "having dinner with the producer", which cannot be said to be a complete deception.

She did have dinner with the producers of "Happening Now", but only before.

"Happening Instantly" is a comedy film directed by Barry Levinson in the last century, for his biopic "Rain Man", which won the 61st Academy Award for Best Director.

The starring roles are Robert De Niro, a veteran Oscar winner, Sean Penn, the best actor of the three major international film festivals in Europe and an Oscar winner, and Bruce Willis, a man abandoned by the Oscars, but no one can question his status and popularity in the American film industry.

There are also Robin Wright Penn, John Turtoro, Stanley Tucci, Michael Wincott, Catherine Keener and other big-name stars participating in the shooting, which can be described as a star-studded lineup.

Martin won the role for Christine, the daughter of the leading actor Robert De Niro, and the role was heavier. And being able to get the opportunity to work with many big-name stars is of great help to any actor.

"Christine, you rest for a few days, and I'll make an appointment with Mr. Robert to see when he has time, and we'll have lunch together. ”

"Okay Martin, thank you. ”

Christine trusts Martin a lot, and the latter always arranges everything for her.

She took the newspapers of the recent period and flipped through them one by one.

"Are you looking for something?" asked Martin.

"I want to see if Mai's movie is on. ”

"Christine, do you think there will be media attention to a film made by a Huaxia company, and the investment is only 50,000 US dollars? I don't think the Huaxia media will be interested. ”

Christine realized: "You're right, then, can you please help me check, is Mai's movie on?

"It's 'This Man Is From Earth.' ”

"You've got a good memory, hee-hee. ”

Martin looked at her helplessly: "You pay too much attention to that Huaxia man, and he doesn't help your career in any way." Your affair with him will also not help you in any way, it will only bring trouble. ”

"He is the author of The Twilight Zone. ”

"I still say that he has no right to decide who the protagonist is, unless he plans to make it into a Chinese movie. You won't forget that after meeting you that day, he kept talking about his $50,000 movie, rarely mentioning "Twilight" and not extending you an invitation. ”

"That's because your men wounded him. ”

"Oh shit, he was the one who wounded Brother Daniel, for which I paid for the expensive medical bills, which is extra. Also, the Daniel brothers were furious, and they threatened to seek revenge on the Oriental. ”

"Then we're going to have to inform Mai. ”

Martin debunked Christine's careful thoughts: "You can call him directly. ”

"It's easier to get favor by reminding him in person. Didn't you say that he would be able to do magical oriental witchcraft, and maybe he would agree to cast witchcraft on me to make my acting career smoother. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll ask someone to see if his $50,000 movie is ...... to start."

……

Just when Christine was going to look for Mai Xiaoyu, Sissi, Li Xue and her party also intended to find Mai Xiaoyu because they were in trouble.

This time in Los Angeles, Sissi mainly participated in the meeting of the main creators of the crew of "The King of Kung Fu". All the main creators came together to discuss the plot and shooting plan.

In recent months, China's big and big people have successively launched super blockbusters in cooperation with Hollywood, which have attracted much attention in China, among which "The King of Kung Fu" is one of the most eye-catching movies.

Two Chinese international action superstars joined together, and the two martial arts styles were presented together for the first time, among which the martial arts part is exciting and worth looking forward to; the actresses are also not far behind, Li Bingyu and Qian Qian have their own merits, and they have a large number of fans in China.

Yihua also promoted this film very strongly, and invited two Chinese international action superstars to join, which greatly improved their success rate in opening up the international film market, so they naturally attached great importance to it.

In addition, Li Bingyi's contract is about to expire, facing a hand of banknotes and a hand of favor cards in the face of peers, waving a small hoe and eager to try, Yihua also wants to take this opportunity to keep Li Bingyu and help her open the international market.

Among the people who eat melons, many people are very excited, cheering for Chinese films to go abroad, cooperate with Hollywood, be in line with international standards, and be recognized by the international film industry.

It's just that they don't know that the gorgeous co-production is not as beautiful as they imagined. Huaxia Film Company has paid a lot and has to take huge risks, because the Yankees will not invest real money.

The film company on the Huaxia side invests money, and Hollywood produces the production team to take care of the planning, production, distribution, and global screening of the film, which is the so-called co-production.

There is no way, in terms of culture, China is in a weak position, the west is strong and I am weak, so I can only borrow a boat to go to sea.

Hollywood, with a well-developed film industry, has a very high status in the global film industry, and also has a complete distribution mechanism.

Whether it is in the United States or overseas markets, Hollywood blockbusters often have completed the market, distribution, cooperation and other links during the filming process to ensure that the film can be screened on a larger scale.

On the other hand, in Chinese films, many middle-class and low-class people can't even touch the threshold of overseas distribution, let alone complete those links in advance.

Just like the cute man a few years ago, for the overseas release of "Fatal ID", Mai Xiaoyu personally went to Cannes to play routines, and called a lot of resources. Rao is like this, and when it was released in the United States, he also encountered Yankees playing hooligans.

If he hadn't had a lot of routines, the Yankees would have succeeded.

It is customary for the Yankees to play hooligans in the international arena because they have big fists.

Sissi was also confronted by the Yankees playing hooligans.

This meeting of the main creators, by discussing the plot, clarifying the focus of their respective work, and making final preparations for the start-up, is also the norm in the entertainment industry. Everyone gets acquainted with each other, talks about their views on the script, adjusts the schedule according to the shooting plan, and promotes the movie through the media by the way, all of which are routines.

At the beginning, the meeting went smoothly, and the communication between them could not be talked about and laughing, at least there was no smell of gunpowder.

Qian Qian and Li Bingyu both know that the real big ones in "The King of Kung Fu" are the two international kung fu superstars in China and the American male protagonist, although they are heroines, they still can't avoid the suspicion of vases.

Therefore, unless it involves topics related to oneself such as one's own role and schedule, he rarely takes the initiative to speak.

However, when discussing the emotional scene between "Golden Swallow" and the actor "Jason" in the play, the problem arises.

According to the plot, there has always been a very hazy love between "Golden Swallow" played by Sissi and "Jason" played by the American actor, and there will be an emotional outburst in the end, which is commonly known as the kiss scene.

Earlier, when Li Xue helped Sissi negotiate the film contract, she specifically agreed that Sissi would not shoot kiss scenes, although the crew did not understand it, they agreed.

However, at the meeting, the American actor suddenly said that he had never heard of the word "kiss", which was ridiculous, and Sissi was doing this with great disrespect for herself. He demanded that when filming kiss scenes, they must really kiss and no stand-ins are allowed.

Sissi definitely didn't agree.

Li Xue retorted on the spot in fluent English: "This is something that has been agreed upon in the previous negotiations, and I don't think there is any need to discuss it now." ”

"Your agreement like this will make me think that you are very unprofessional. Also, I wasn't there when you were talking to the crew. Ryan, Robert, John, what do you say?"

Robert is the director of The King of Kung Fu, Ryan is the producer who attended the meetup, and John is the screenwriter.

Li Xue also set her eyes on them and let them decide.

Director Robert hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Your approach is indeed very unprofessional. Unless she's an underage girl, I haven't heard of an actress who needs a stand-in for a kiss scene. ”

Screenwriter John also said: "I actually don't understand what you do. You know, it's not a simple KISS, according to my design, it's going to be a very beautiful picture, very moving. If you use a stand-in, you can't express this aesthetic conception. ”

Ryan, one of the producers, did not take a stand, but the silence was also an attitude, acquiescing to Robert's statement.

"But according to our prior agreement, Crystal does not shoot kiss scenes, and this is specifically stated in the contract. In the face of Hollywood producers, directors and screenwriters, Li Xue did not flinch and fought for reason.

"So I think it's necessary for you to reconsider the supplementary clauses in the contract to avoid the outside world thinking that your Chinese actors are not professional enough and lack enough respect when filming. The American assistant director spoke.

Li Xue glanced at him and sneered: "Aren't you afraid that the outside world will question the spirit of contract that you Americans have always flaunted?"

A good meeting turned into a noisy bazaar, much to the displeasure of producer Ryan.

He knocked on the table, frowned, and said, "Gentlemen, ladies, I need to remind you that the "King of Kung Fu" crew meeting held here in the United States is not a noisy city. ”

This seems to be fair, and it seems to be to calm the quarrel, but his sentence "convened in the United States" is enough to show his bias.

Li Xue was not stupid, and asked with a smile: "So, Mr. Ryan, what is your opinion?"

"I'm one of the producers, and my job is to make sure that the film gets off and on time. I don't know what your country thinks of film crews, but in America, actors should be on the radar of directors and screenwriters. ”

"Even if there is a spirit of contract preached for your country?"

It was the assistant director of the United States who spoke: "This is a Hollywood-style Chinese kung fu movie, which will be screened not only in thousands of theaters in the United States, but also in many countries around the world." If you don't want to shoot, you can cancel the contract. ”

The tone is frivolous.

You can say that people are scared, but people have the capital to be sure!

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.

Looking at the global film industry, Hollywood is the absolute peak!

"The King of Kung Fu" has attracted much attention, and how many people can't play the role played by Sissi, and the American producers don't care about replacing Sissi.

Li Xue knew that "The King of Kung Fu" had a rare opportunity and was very important to Sissi, so she always refuted it in the spirit of contract. It's just that she didn't expect the other party to be so shameless, and she actually threatened to terminate the contract, and she was speechless for a while.

It is true that the words came from the mouth of the assistant director, but the producer, director, and screenwriter did not express their position, obviously acquiescing to the threat of the assistant director.

And Sissi never spoke. The clenched silver teeth and the pretty white face were enough to show her anger.

Seeing that his sister was being pinched by foreigners, Li Bingyu was about to get up and speak for Li Xue.

Her agent was quick-eyed and grabbed her, signaling her not to get involved.

"The King of Kung Fu" is a co-production, and Yihua's funding is true, but the American producer is very strong. Just like in other Sino-American cooperation projects, the United States has always been in a strong position.

After such a delay, Li Xue relieved herself: "Is the termination of the contract because we adhere to the spirit of the contract? For this drama, Crystal has been preparing carefully in the past few months, and has pushed down many film contracts for this reason. If you want to cancel the contract, you can compensate us for our losses!"

"Li Xue, don't you say a few words, it's just a kiss scene, is it necessary to make trouble like this?"

"This time it's a gorgeous co-production, not a film and television drama invested by your cute people. Since you cooperate with Hollywood, you have to abide by other people's rules. ”

"yes, pay attention to the international implications. ”

"It's a rare opportunity, don't take measures because of a momentary mood. ”

"Sissi has never filmed a kiss scene before, and it just took advantage of this joint shooting to launch the first kiss on the screen, which is not bad. ”

"It's a kiss of friendship that witnesses the relationship between China and the United States. ”

……

Some of the Chinese filmmakers present spoke one after another, one sentence at a time, to persuade Li Xue and Qianqian to give in.

Listening to her compatriots and the mud, Li Xue was not angry, but felt pitiful and pathetic.

Today, the cause of the incident is not big, just because the kiss scene is questioned whether the stand-in actor is used.

The actors, screenwriters, assistant directors, directors, and producers may not have had deep friendships with Americans before, but they have maintained a high degree of consistency in their attitudes towards their countrymen and foreigners.

On the other hand, some of their compatriots are still elite bigwigs in some aspect of the domestic film industry, but in front of the Americans, they are like a ......

She stood up and said calmly to those people: "I am now fighting with the American producer for the legitimate rights and interests of our company's artists. Note that it is a legitimate interest, which is clearly stated in the contract and is protected by the laws of China and the United States. As a compatriot, I don't expect your support, but I also hope that you don't hold us back!"
