Li Wei refused Sister Lai's request, he said: "I haven't registered with the Screenwriters Association yet, so this script can't be leaked, of course, this is by no means a distrust of you, what I'm guarding against is your agent, when I register all the copyrights of the script, I will send you a fax, and your business card has your agent's fax number!" ”

Sister Lai agreed with his approach, she looked down at the script, only thinking about some of the details in her heart, she suddenly pointed to a few words that appeared in the first act, and asked: "Your script has a lot of things about 'kung fu', I don't understand, what does this mean, and the fighting movements you designed include cold weapons such as short sticks and nunchucks, as well as hand-to-hand combat such as karate and boxing, Will, do you know so much art?" ”

"That's for sure!" Li Wei's eyes flashed with excitement, as long as he mentioned the field he was good at, he would show incredible surging energy, "I am proficient in all fields of martial arts on this planet, and I have the ability to make martial arts into movies and fascinate the audience, this is my unique advantage in the United States, I swear no one can compare to me!" ”

"Like that fallen legend...... Bruce. Lee the same? Sister Lai instantly thought of a superstar who had passed away, and at the same time was seduced by Li Wei's arrogance. Confused. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's him!" Li Wei said and took out another document, spread it out and put it in front of Sister Lai, he pointed and said: "This is the type of Hollywood action film I researched, as well as the expertise of all action actors, these movies have a common characteristic, the fight is clumsy, rigid and stiff, people can't feel the blood boiling, the style is that you punch me and I punch back the stupid goose performance, like a machine without a soul at all, this is tarnishing the art of action." ”

"Who is the most famous action movie star in Hollywood? Sylvester. Stallone, Arnold. Schwarzenegger? They will only show off their hormone-injected pathetic muscles on the big screen, and they don't have even any acting skills that resonate with the audience, all of them are facial paralysis, and one is an Italian homeless man, an Austrian bodybuilder, this kind of stupid big guy can make a name for himself in Hollywood, I am very angry! ”

Speaking of this, Li Wei pouted and spread his hands, "Of course, I am a stripper from Scotland, and my profession is not much more noble than theirs, but my ancestors created this country, I am a pure American descendant, as long as I show my talent to my compatriots, they will easily tout me, if I can succeed one after another, they will be crazy for me, I will definitely not fail, Leslie!" ”

Sister Lai was shocked in his impassioned speech, and when she came back to her senses, she asked coldly: "You have also been a stripper?" ”

"It's all about survival, Leslie!" Li Wei felt a little hungry, swallowed the rest of the beef in one gulp, drank another glass of red wine, and then said: "Stallone has filmed "Italian Species. Horses", did you stop him from succeeding? I'm never depressed about the past, I'm just looking for the future. ”

Sister Lai was silent at first, as if she was considering some kind of decision, and after a while, she tried to ask, "Will, has you chosen someone for the heroine?" ”

Waiting for your words, Li Wei said to her bluntly: "I think you are very suitable for the role of the bar proprietress in the script, I want to hire you, but Leslie, all my current savings add up to only 15,000 US dollars, I can't use my limited funds on the actor's salary, I don't know if your salary is high!" ”

"I'm not expensive at all!" Sister Lai was ashamed to say: "My agent won me an audition, it was a small role with lines in "Back to the Future 2", do you know how much the salary is, only a thousand dollars, and I didn't participate in the audition, they saw my photos and rejected me directly, they thought that my appearance was not tough enough and did not fit the style of the film." ”

"So little!" Li Wei muttered in his heart and asked, "How much does it cost without lines?" ”

"There is a difference between extras, the pay for joining the Actors Guild is higher, the hourly wage is ten dollars, if you need extras, I suggest you find people who are not from the Actors Guild, I know a lot!" Sister Lai took a sip of wine and added, "They are all like me, working part-time while waiting for the opportunity to star. ”

With Sister Lai's help, the actor's affairs will be clear, but Li Wei still has doubts and asked her: "If I want to sign you into the crew, I have to find your agent, right?" ”

Sister Lai seemed to guess his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry Will, I will convince her, I won't let her increase my salary, Tracy is a good person, I suggest you go and meet her, maybe there will be unexpected surprises!" ”

"Let's talk about it when we have a chance!" Li Wei didn't know the bottom in his heart and staggered this topic.

After talking for two hours, the two returned to the hospital, and Li Wei was going to say goodbye to Mrs. Vicky, he knew that Mrs. Peyton was very bitter about him, so he asked Sister Lai to hide the fact of appearing in the movie, and even the date between the two was in private.

Susan still ignored him, he didn't bother with the rebellious girl, and sat in the hospital room for a while before leaving.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening when he returned to Chinatown, and Li Wei did not go to the Chinese restaurant, but sorted out the plan to shoot the movie in the rented room.

On the original historical trajectory, "The Killer's Tragedy" was conceived in November 1990, filmed in July 1991, and released in September 1992. Rodriguez writes and directs himself, and he actually wants to act in it himself, so that he can save money, but if he does, he needs to hire a cameraman.

The cost of this movie is only 7,000 US dollars, of course, the shooting location is in Mexico, where the price must be cheap, if it is changed to the United States, this money will not complete the filmmaking, first of all, the film cost is not enough, Li Wei's funds are doubled, but he still has to be stretched, but he is not ready to drag it out any longer, he has to immediately put into shooting, until the funds run out, it is naturally best to complete the shooting, it doesn't matter if the shooting is not finished, he can take the sample to find an investor, as long as he takes out the real thing, Let the bosses see the business opportunity to make money, and they will bet real money on him.

Robert. After Rodriguez finished filming "The Killer's Tragedy", he was bought out by Columbia Pictures' studios, and the post-dubbing production, plus the release promotion, cost a full million, and the box office was more than two million US dollars, plus the video tape distribution must be profitable, after all, the cost is too low.

Li Wei did not move Robert. Rodriguez's "Killer Tragedy", he only copied the main plot, the content underwent major surgery, and kung fu was his important selling point, for which he added four fierce and fiery fighting scenes to the script.

He is confident that his films will definitely cause a hurricane in Hollywood, but he can't guarantee how high the box office will be, after all, his shooting funds are limited.

He had been thinking about it in the middle of the night, and finally finalized the plan, which took about two weeks to prepare, during which he had to hire a photographer, rent photographic equipment, buy film, go to the thrift market to find some suitable props, and of course, prepare makeup items.

He has been in the crew all the year round in his previous life, and he is familiar with the process of shooting movies, and he will not be in the dilemma of having nowhere to start.

The next morning, he went to work at the restaurant and found the owner, Daniel Chung, chatting with a young Chinese who looked a little like Daniel, presumably a relative of Daniel's family who had just immigrated.

Daniel was very happy when he saw him come back, and immediately pulled him to introduce him to the young man, "Will, this is my nephew Zhong Fang, you can call him David, he studied photography at the School of Drama and Film at the University of Kent in the United Kingdom, and he will graduate in one year, and this time he came to visit me in the United States!" ”

Li Wei's eyes couldn't help but light up, okay, the photographer automatically sent it to the door, this is a good sign, I just don't know if this nerd with thick myopia glasses is willing to let go of his figure as a college student from a prestigious school and go to his arms.

"Hello, Fang Zai, my Chinese name is Li Wei, it's nice to meet you!" Li Wei greeted him in Cantonese.

The top student was stunned all of a sudden, and he was surprised in his heart, lose your mother, this ghost grew up in Xiangjiang?
