The Knicks had no trouble getting the Kings off and getting two days off to wait at home for the Suns.

Zhou Xuan only played 26 minutes and got 8 points and 8 assists. After beating the Lakers, he averaged 20 points per game at one point. 4 points, and now it's down to 19. 8。 scored more than 60+ points in two games, but the average score per game was only 20, which made him even more different.

On this day, the great director Gilmour? Toro is here again.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Xuan asked, "How is the preparation of the movie?" ”

"It didn't go well, there was a problem with the casting." Gilmour sighed: "Scarlett is hesitant now, she may not be the heroine anymore." ”

"For what?"

"Without the actor he wants to work with, young Asian actors can't find famous actors, and neither Japanese nor Koreans." Gilmour smiled wryly.

Those plastic surgery stick actors are also a little influential in Asia, and no one cares about them in the United States. For example, RAIN went to the United States to hold a concert, and some people directly commented that he was too ugly. Lee Byung-hun showed his face in the blockbuster, and his age was inappropriate.

As for the Japanese actors, they have to use dubbing, and their English accents make people unable to complain.

"It's unfortunate." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

"Scarlett's schedule is also a bit problematic, and "My Family Bought a Zoo" hasn't finished filming yet." "It was a family comedy, it was relatively easy to shoot, it wasn't going to take too long, and it was probably going to end in July," Gilmour said. ”

Zhou Xuan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Why are you telling me so much detail?" ”

Gilmour smiled: "After discussion, the producer and I, as well as several heads of Legendary Pictures, all feel that you are suitable to be the leading actor of "Pacific Rim". So I'm going to ask you, would you like to? ”

"Look, I'll just say you can act." Emma interjected: "As long as the fans watch it, it will be difficult to lose at the box office." ”

"Huh? That's too hasty, isn't it? Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

He can understand the producer's thoughts and rely on his influence to attract the box office. As for the acting skills, there is naturally someone to guide them, and this kind of movie that focuses on fighting monsters doesn't need any acting skills.

"Don't you want to act in a movie? This film is quite large. ”

"I'm interested, but I don't have time." Zhou Xuan said.

Gilmour said: "No, you have time, the plot can be filmed separately, there is no part of your scene in the first half, we can delay the filming until the closest." The only place you'll be in is in Hong Kong. The total appearance time will not exceed 40 minutes. The fight scenes, involving robots, are mainly post-production special effects. All you need to do is put a few POSS in the cockpit. In terms of literary drama, the main thing is the interaction between you and Scarlett, and there is a fight scene, well, that's all, and it can be filmed in two months. ”

"Didn't you say Scarlett wouldn't act?"

"If the male number one is you, she is willing to participate, if you don't agree, we can only find a less famous actor to shoot." Gilmour laughed.

Emma looked at Zhou Xuan and wrinkled her hair with a wrinkled hairline, looking as if she was about to enter old age directly. When she is nervous, she has a habit of frowning. She was like this when she was 10 years old when she filmed Harry Potter, and it hasn't changed to this day.

Gilmour also saw that the atmosphere was awkward and closed his mouth.

Zhou Xuan smiled slightly and explained: "You know that I just met Scarlett, and she thought that this script was introduced by Robert (Downey), and later heard that I gave comments to the script and talked to me. Probably she thinks I have a deep understanding of the script and is suitable for acting. ”

"You're nothing to do with her, are you?" Emma pouted. She knew that Zhou Xuan had first seen Scarlett at a party, and she had gone too. I didn't expect to meet again after that. The other women were a little wary of "Black Widow".

"It's just ordinary friends, the kind of people who meet and talk a few words at a party. If I have anything with her, the morning news is out, like us. Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

Emma breathed a sigh of relief. Oh, yes. If the two were to have anything to do with each other, they would definitely be hyped into entertainment news headlines. I must have just met again in a crowded place, so no reporter didn't say anything.

Gilmour saw that the atmosphere was relaxed and asked, "Well, you have a long time to think about." Filming in Hong Kong in July, you don't have to worry about affecting the competition. Back then, O'Neill was also filming during the interval. Because the NBA is going down, you still have time to vacation in China. ”

"You also think it's going to be shut down?"

"Everybody says that, isn't that a certainty?" Gilmour laughed.

Zhou Xuan's mind became active. The NBA doesn't know how long it will be suspended, but it is said to be worse than the 1998 one, and if the preseason is canceled, the holiday will be in November. Even if he reaches the finals and wins the championship, he will have 5 months to rest. It is impossible to practice all these five months, and the interval is too long and it will be ineffective. It's normal to spend three months entertaining.

Zhou Xuan called and asked Mitchell? Butler. This kind of thing can also be regarded as a contract, and as an agent, I naturally have to put forward some opinions, although Mitchell is also a layman in film and television.

Mitchell said: "I think the NBA will not only be shut down until November, but it will be nice to be able to catch the Christmas game. ”

"It can't be that serious, can it?"

"Of course he will, otherwise you think Cohan is in a hurry to sell the Warriors, he can't afford to lose money. Jordan was able to buy a bobcat for this reason. The conflict between the owner and the player began long ago. Mitchell laughed.

The owner's side will definitely want to cut the player's salary and the length of the contract, which can prevent super bad contracts to a certain extent. The players love money and are used to making a lot of money, so they are naturally reluctant to give up their benefits. Zhou Xuan felt that it didn't matter, his money couldn't be spent in a few lifetimes, and he had no family background, so he didn't need to worry about it at all. But black players don't. The biggest characteristic of black people is greed in addition to ****, which is almost a common problem.

"Do you think I can make this movie?"

"Absolutely, it's propaganda for you, and it's for the NBA," Mitchell said. The achievements of stars in other fields will make more people pay attention to the league. Think about it, if it's released next summer, you just happen to win another championship or something. How much attention will be raised? You can also go out with the crew to promote during the holidays, which is very interesting. ”

Zhou Xuan thought about it, and it really wouldn't affect the game. And after several years of training, he has learned all the skills he should learn, and the rest is to maintain and be proficient. He didn't want to drop the three-point shot, but it was probably not difficult to find a basket in the place where he was acting. He can also go back to China to do activities and fulfill his previous promise to the fans. I believe that as soon as this news comes out, many people will also pay attention to this movie and his movements.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xuan said to Gilmour: "Are you sure I can play well?" In case I mess up and lose at the box office, you and the producers don't blame me. ”

"I'm sure, because your mental quality is well recognized. I don't think it's harder to make a movie than to hit a shot multiple times. And you scored 72 points at the Staples Center, and I don't have a temper when I see Kobe, which is also much more difficult than making a movie. Gilmour laughed.

"Interlacing is like separating mountains, I am a difficult person will not, and it will not be difficult for those who will know." Zhou Xuan smiled and asked, "Emma, what do you think?" Would you like to go to Hong Kong with me during the holidays? ”

"It's hard to say, maybe I'll have to film then. Now there are several scripts, I don't know which one is better to choose. Emma shook her head. Seeing that you are so successful, I also want to work harder in my career. ”

Gilmour asked, "What do you think of his acting skills?" ”

"Probably better than me." Emma laughed: "I didn't learn acting when I first started, I was nervous, and in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, I used to frown and grin. I shot it many times, and there are still a lot of that kind of shots when I cut it out after the last time. But he ...... I doubt he'll be nervous. ”

Of course, Zhou Xuan would be nervous, but he couldn't show it on his face, which also developed a habit.

"Indeed, he looked like he had taken a tranquilizer on the court." Gilmour looked at Zhou Xuan and said, "Your psychological quality will definitely not be afraid to face the camera, agree." I'll go back and talk to them. It's not the first time that NBA players have made movies, Jordan and Ray Allen have all played leading roles, and Rodman has also acted in kung fu movies, so it's much easier for you. ”

If the protagonist is not a celebrity to play, the crew will have a headache. If you can't pull a big name because of the male number one, investors don't want to see it.

Making movies also requires gimmicks, which are the same sex as the NBA league. There are gimmicks to have a box office. Originally, I wrote about the Japanese heroine, and it was also for this purpose. The box office of Japanese films has surpassed Hollywood blockbusters for several consecutive years, but it is still a large market, and Hollywood does not want to give up.

Now "Pacific Rim" does not use the Japanese as a gimmick, on the one hand, it is a change in the script, and on the other hand, the large-scale film "Super Battleship" of Universal Corporation, which is currently being filmed, has already used the setting of a joint military exercise with the Japanese, and if the two films are released together next year, the role of the gimmick will not be so obvious.

In addition, there will be a Paramount Marvel movie "The Avengers" next year, and Universal will definitely hope to stagger the release time with them and wait until the second half of the year to release the film.

Zhou Xuan thought this should be very interesting, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll participate in the show." The scene looks at the arrangement, just don't affect the pre-game training camp. ”

"Okay, I'll just say that when I go back, and then ask them to set a shooting time, Scarlett doesn't have enough time on her side, and the part that needs actors will be filmed as soon as possible." Gilmour exuberantly. He attaches great importance to this film, although the subject matter is relatively naïve, it is the genre he likes.

Scarlett will also play Black Widow in the Avengers, and the main filming location is Manhattan, as long as it is confirmed, she will adjust the schedule appropriately.

After a few more conversations, Gilmour took his leave.

Emma smiled: "In this way, you can be regarded as a person in the entertainment industry." The kind of cameo that kind of evil force is not interesting, and many people must be expecting you to act in a movie. ”

"I hope I can do a good job." Zhou Xuan sighed, and if he told his parents the news, he didn't know how they would react. You won't be lonely when you go to the set, and Kolo will also act.
