Chapter 295: "Arhat Eleven"

"Actually, I was looking for you to join my new film!

"Oh, that's a shame!"

As soon as Ye Luo heard it, he knew that this was Cheng Long's kind words.

"Rush Hour 2"? He can't think of what role he can play? Replace Zunlong? Obviously impossible, Cheng Long doesn't have the courage to use him so reassuringly.

Therefore, even if it is not polite, but sincerely invites to join, it is only the role of soy sauce.

This is not lacking in Ye Luo today.

To be honest, in Hollywood, he can buy a book at any time, and then invest in it himself as the protagonist.

Things happened quickly, and the next day, someone called.

"Hey, hello!"

"Hello, is this Mr. Ye?"

The earpiece was the voice of a middle-aged man, speaking fluent American English.

"Hi, hello!

Fortunately, it was not a difficult conversation, and Ye Luo could probably keep up.

"Do you have time? There is still a lack of actors in the crew here, can you come over and audition?"

Obviously, people also know who Ye Luo is, and they are very polite in their words.

"Yes!"

Ye Luo asked Bai Meiyu to write down the address and said that he would be there in a moment.

Why did it come in a while? Because it happened that the other party was also in Las Vegas.

"Mr. Ye, right?"

A few minutes later, when I arrived at the Bellagio Hotel, a middle-aged man at the door was holding a photo, saw Ye Luo, and stepped forward to ask.

"Hello!

"My name is Bruce Bowman, and I'm one of the producers of this show, so you can just call me Bruce. I'm also a Warner employee, speaking of which, we are still colleagues, please come with me!"

This is still very kind, of course, it may have something to do with Ye Luo's net worth, if Ye Luo is just a poor singer, it is estimated that he may not have such treatment.

"Bruce, just call me Loe!"

Frightened, my own people!

There is no such thing as an honorific title for foreigners, if you ask him to add a gentleman or something, it will look outward.

The group went up to the third floor, and on the way, Bruce and Ye Luo revealed some information, such as the casting was not going well, the budget was a little tight, and so on.

However, the time is short, and Ye Luo's English level is not very good, so he didn't say anything deeply.

When he arrived at the place, Ye Luo wanted to ask Bai Meiyu to wait outside, but Bruce waved his hand and said it was okay.

"This is producer Jerry Weintraub, this is lead actor and investor George Clooney, and this is director Stephen Soderbergh!

Three, this is the actor who interviewed Loe Ye! I just asked, there is kung fu!"

Entering the house, Bruce Berman introduced the two parties, of course, excluding Bai Meiyu.

Not as serious as Yeloh imagined, Jerry Weinterub was a little older of the three, about seventy years old, but very kind-hearted. George Bruni and director Stephen Soderbergh are about the same age, both middle-aged.

Seeing Yelo, except for Jerry Weintraub, the other two stood up. In addition to being polite, it may also be to give Bruce Bowman face, and the Warner brand cannot be underestimated.

"Good director, good producer!"

Ye Luo nodded, in foreign countries, there is no dignity and humility, only money and status.

Because he had a general understanding of Ye Luo, or to give Bruce Bowman face, after the two sides sat down, they exchanged a few words of greeting, and then they got to the point.

"This time, we want to shoot a scene of robbing a casino! We want to find a Chinese actor, but you are a little insuitable! Although you have kung fu, you are a little taller!"

Yelo knew that foreigners were a bit direct, but don't be so direct! Director Stephen Soderbergh looked at him twice and refused.

"I wonder what you want?"

Of course, being tall is not a hard requirement, and it can be changed many times, Ye Luo thinks that the other party is a little discriminatory against him.

"It's better to be acrobatic, and your body is more flexible!"

Well, when Ye Luo heard this, this is indeed a bit difficult for him, and no matter how good his flexibility is, he can't catch up with practicing acrobatics!

Moreover, from the descriptions of George Bruni and the other party, Ye Luo roughly guessed that this play should be "Ocean's Eleven" or it can also be called "Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea".

There was indeed a small Chinese there, and the height difference between the two was indeed very large.

"Stephen, I don't think it's necessary to decide so quickly, let's look again, maybe there's no more suitable one!"

Bruce Boman may have taken care of Lower Yelo because of the company.

"Okay!"

glanced at George Bruni and saw that the other party didn't say anything, Stephen Soderbergh did not object, and now the casting is indeed in trouble, and the actor is particularly difficult to find.

Ye Luo guessed correctly, this play is indeed "Ocean's Eleven".

The idea for the film was proposed by producer Jerry Weintraub, who approached Steven Soderbergh with Griffin's completed script, who readily accepted.

The first actor Steven Soderbergh looked for was George Clooney, and as a partner in the Section Eight production company with Soderbergh, Clooney has always been the best person in Soderbergh's heart to play Danny.

Then I wanted to plan to form an all-star lineup, so I started inviting all the big-name stars.

The list has been announced, but as the actors' union is preparing a long-term general strike action in July next year, in order to make more money before the strike, starting in October, some actors have been telling them not to act.

The first to abandon ship was George Clooney's buddy Mark Wahlberg, who couldn't juggle both films before the strike began, as he had taken over Tim Burton's new version of "Planet of the Apes."

As soon as he left, there was no one to play the thief. The current selection of the crew is Matt Damon, who is in contact, but it is unknown whether he will be able to make a gap while acting in the spy thriller "The Bourne Identity".

The second to slip away was Bruce Willis, and then Danny Glover, Owen Wilson and Luke Wilson also gave up on the film in order to star in "The Trumbaums".

Immediately after, Alan Arkin, Sidney Pollack, Ewan McGregor, Warren Beatty, Michael Douglas and Ralph Fiennes all resigned one by one.

Only three of them remained motionless in this escape, with Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts both scheduled to perform Ocean's Eleven.

Brad Pitt and George Clooney are good buddies, and he's also very righteous.

The third person is naturally George Clooney, who is also the best choice for the protagonist, and he is also one of the sponsors of this film!

But there are eleven protagonists in this play, why can't it be changed to "Three Arhats". So at this time, the crew had some difficult births, and after listening to Bruce Boman's words, Stephen agreed to stay in Yelo for the time being.

It's a pity that Ye Luo himself retreated at this time, because that Chinese role is really not suitable for him.

"Loe, is this you?"

As he was talking, George Clooney's eyes widened suddenly. He stood up and picked up the newspaper on the coffee table, put it in front of his eyes, compared it to Bai Meiyu, and then asked Ye Luo loudly, with a look of disbelief and surprise.
