In fact, perhaps Zhang Fan himself still doesn't quite understand what kind of influence he has gained a foothold in Hollywood and has achieved after a bumper harvest at the Oscars.

In Hollywood, if you want to be famous, want to make money, and enjoy a luxurious life, the most fundamental foundation is film works. Only by shooting film works can you get fame and remuneration, and you can have everything after that. Although Hollywood produces a very large number of movies every year, there are not many heavyweight works that can really play a role in enhancing fame and remuneration.

There are even fewer films like Slumdog Millionaire that can take hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office and win big at the Oscars. And movies of this level have always been the existence that all Hollywood stars have to fight for.

Zhang Fan found the male and female protagonists who played the millionaire in the slums, but they were just small roles with no fame before. But after the movie became popular, they have already stood on the heels of second-tier Hollywood actors. This is a second-tier actor in Hollywood, and his fame and status are not comparable to some self-proclaimed so-called stars.

Hollywood's agency is so hot that the name of CAA has spread almost all over the world. It's because they can find excellent film works for their stars to star. There are so many celebrities who come to Hollywood from all over the world every year with the dream of becoming famous, but how many of them can finally come out? Here in Hollywood, even if you want to sell your body, you may not be able to find a home!

In the fierce competition, no matter how big the star is, he will work hard for his career. Because they all know very well that many of the top big names who have been glorious in the past have declined step by step because they have no excellent works until no one cares.

In Hollywood, actors and directors are not the same. Once an actor smashes a work, it almost means that no one will ask you to play it again. Even if you are famous and well-connected, you will gradually disappear after a few failures.

Although the directors are the same, their ability to bear it is obviously stronger than that of the actors. And a director like Zhang Fan, who is an investor himself, is the best partner in the eyes of the actors.

The reason why Scarlett fell into Zhang Fan's arms so easily is because Zhang Fan is a rich director who can invest in the film by himself!

Not only can you have money to invest in films, but you can also win super high box office and Oscars when you are a director! Who would give up this kind of connection? Scarlett flattered herself at night and unlocked various poses in front of Zhang Fan for these reasons.

And now, so is Brad Pitt.

Hollywood is all about following the winners. Whoever succeeds will be sought after. If you can achieve continuous success, like Spielberg and James Cameron, you will be worshiped as a master and the king of movies!

Now Zhang Fan is successful, so it is only natural that Brad Pitt wants to participate in his new work.

Hollywood has its own rules on the surface and hidden rules, famous stars, especially those first-tier and second-tier stars, can generally only play the leading role, and very few people will play supporting roles. And if you are the protagonist, you can generally only appear in one work per year. This is to ensure the quality of the work, but also to avoid fierce competition from ruining the existing situation in Hollywood.

For example, in some places, there are many works a year, and it is like a rush to show your face and read your lines directly, which will never happen in Hollywood. Because those who dare to do this have long been completely eliminated by the cruel reality. No matter how handsome they look or how white their faces are! Even a super heartthrob like Tom Cruise is no exception, and if the little white faces in some places dare to come to Hollywood to do this, they will be kicked directly into the broken boat home the next day! They can only rely on their white faces in some places to call for wind and rain.

Brad Pitt doesn't have to star in Zhang Fan's work, he says this to establish an early connection. When Zhang Fan's work officially starts running, professionals can evaluate whether it will be successful. Wait until that time to make a real decision. As for now, it's just a warm-up.

In fact, at this time, Zhang Fan already has the ability to attract Hollywood A-list stars of Brad Pitt's level to star in his own works. This is one of the benefits of his relentless investment and his big win at the Oscars!

Without the blessing of the fame of the Oscar statuette, even if Zhang Fan's works are good at the box office, they may not be able to attract top stars to star. After all, every choice of these stars counts. Even if you agree to star in Zhang Fan's movie, the asking price will definitely be very high!

"It's just preliminary preparations. Zhang Fan thought about it and responded loudly, "The project hasn't even started yet." When I get started, I'll consider whether your image fits the role. ”

Zhang Fan's response seemed a little blunt, if it was in Huaxia, it might be offended. But in Hollywood, it should be said that way, because once Zhang Fan politely said yes, when the project is almost ready, we will have a chance to cooperate.

This kind of thing is said in Huaxia, and people will regard it as polite, and everyone will get by talking and laughing. But in Hollywood, at the level of Zhang Fan and Brad Pitt, this kind of thing must be fulfilled!

Once Zhang Fan's new film is officially approved, he will send a formal invitation to Brad Pitt. This is absolutely sloppy, if you regret not doing it, then Zhang Fan's reputation in Hollywood will stink in an instant. No one will ever believe what he says again. This is the United States, a credit society. If you lose your credit, how can you get mixed up here?

Therefore, Zhang Fan could only refuse.

Brad Pitt was voted the sexiest man in the world by the magazine, and having him in the movie would have a very good impact. But Zhang Fan still chose to refuse.

The reason is simple. The movie that Zhang Fan is going to shoot is Iron Man, and once Brad Pitt comes, he will definitely only be able to play the protagonist of Iron Man. But Zhang Fan knows that the most suitable person for Iron Man can only be Robert Downey Jr.!

And now Robert Downey Jr. is very miserable, and it won't cost much to invite him to play. Even if the salary is increased after the Iron Man fire, it will not fly to the sky-high level all of a sudden. And if you pull Robert Downey Jr. when he is down, he will inevitably get his gratitude. The media will also say that Zhang Fan is discerning and has real skills.

But if it were Brad Pitt, it would be a different story.

Brad Pitt's appeal is indeed good, but his salary at this time is already at the top level of Hollywood. The salary starts at 20 million US dollars, plus the share of the movie box office. If you shoot a sequel in the future, you will inevitably continue to increase your salary expenses.

What's more, if Iron Man is on fire, people will say that Brad Pitt's fame has played an important role! How can Zhang Fan endure this kind of thing! Not to mention uncle, aunt can't bear this kind of thing!

Hearing Zhang Fan's polite refusal, Brad Pitt was not angry, because this is the normal reaction of Hollywood when talking about business. If Zhang Fan agreed in one breath, he still had to consider it in many ways.

After all, he is still the top star in Hollywood, and although Zhang Fan has won an Oscar recently, there is still a little gap between him and Hollywood's status.

And after all, Zhang Fan has only succeeded once in Hollywood, and he still has some concerns in his heart. As for Zhang Fan's previous success elsewhere, Hollywood stars will not pay attention. The only thing he really cares about is Hollywood.

It's the entertainment capital of the world!

After leaving the yacht, both sides chose to say goodbye with a smile.

"You have a good relationship with Angelina Jolie?" Continuing to walk on the trestle, Zhang Fan looked at Scarlett, "I see that you guys are chatting very hotly." ”

"Who will have a good relationship with that XX!" Scarlett gritted her teeth, her eyes full of anger, "It's just a XX, I can't wait to smash her stinky face full of flesh, poison and vegetarian with high heels!"

"......" Zhang Fan was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the female stars in Hollywood were harmonious on the surface, but behind them was this kind of situation.

Zhang Fan quickly reacted and stopped mentioning this topic. Instead, he turned to the small yacht exhibition area not far away, "Let's go over there and have a look." ”

The small yacht exhibition area is parked with some small yachts suitable for offshore use, more than ten meters or twenty or thirty meters long. Although it is not suitable for ocean sailing, it is still very suitable to go fishing at sea, or play some XX or something at sea with a female ticket.

Of course, the price here is very advantageous compared to the large yachts that can be hundreds of meters long. If there is really something eye-catching and the price is right, Zhang Fan doesn't mind buying one first to have fun.

Zhang Fan took Scarlett's waist around the small yacht exhibition area for a long time, and looked at several famous brands of yachts such as St. Xbeitem, Beneteau and so on. Not to mention, Zhang Fan really fell in love with a good yacht.

This is a sporty offshore yacht belonging to the Italian brand Wally. The boat is not very big, it is about ten meters long.

Wally Yachts is one of the world's leading luxury yacht companies, combining modern shipbuilding techniques with traditional artisanal craftsmanship and designed by world-class designers. Both the exterior style and the interior decoration are outstanding.

Zhang Fan is still quite satisfied with this yacht, but he feels strange that he has not heard of the Italians' shipbuilding technology, why does the product look so good?

In fact, this is Zhang Fan's own loneliness.

Although Italy did poorly in both world wars, it was more like playing soy sauce. But Italian shipbuilding technology is not bad at all. Even many of the famous shipbuilding techniques have come from the Italian shipbuilding industry.

And the most famous of these is naturally the name 'fully armed heavy artillery battleship', which may be a little unfamiliar, but when it comes to its other name, everyone knows it, and everyone knows it. That's the dreadnought!

That's right, it was the Italians who really came up with the idea and technology of the dreadnought, but the British were the first to build it and occupy this name.

From this, it can be seen that Italy's shipbuilding technology is excellent, and it is no worse than that of the old powerhouses. It's no surprise that the yacht is so good in shape and performance.
