Lee Hyo-ri was furious, and "boasted" to cover the phone, she likes to express her dissatisfaction in her own way, but recently she seems to have expressed her dissatisfaction many times for that person.

The king didn't seem to hear the sound of hanging up the phone, and then said, "Recently, I will go to the United States once, and I will take Xiaogang with me, it is not my purpose to go to the United States to make movies, bring you to the United States, let them realize the essence of oriental art is the most important thing." ”

"President," Zi Feng said, "Sister Xiaoli has already hung up the phone." ”

"That's okay, I've already sued her anyway, she didn't hear it herself, it's not my responsibility."

The Lord of the Rings and The Matrix are bound to be among the highest-grossing films, and no one can doubt that, both in terms of investment and directorial lineup, they are the strongest in recent years. Comparable to this, this year, the American film market will usher in a blockbuster: "Titanic". Before it was officially released, it was hailed as the most promising film of the year to win the Oscar, and The Matrix specifically avoided preparing to compete for the award in '99 in '98. As for the Lord of the Rings, due to the preparation for the filming of the trilogy, the preparation time is relatively long, and it should not be painted until 01. In other words, they are all masterpieces that have the ability to compete for the Oscars. As an actor, I have been fortunate to be able to participate in one of them, not to mention being invited to two at the same time.

"Actually, I'm not interested," King said to Xiao Gang, who came from South Korea, "but for DES to gain a foothold in the U.S. quickly, we really need someone to play the front stop, because what we lack is time." ”

"Time? Time is very important, but won't Brother Zifeng and them go to the United States early next year? Is there a lack of time? Xiao Gang asked puzzled, he didn't have enough confidence in going to the United States.

"Well, I want them to quickly open up the situation in the United States, and in the future, there can be batches of people being transported out of South Korea, and I don't want anyone to waste time on the prestige accumulation in the early stage. My requirement is that as long as they have enough strength, they can go to the highest stage to show their performance. For you, Xiao Gang, it's the same, I will participate in the discussion of these two films, but I will definitely not spend too much time on the filming of the movie, I am positioned as a negative character, and the additional condition is that you will participate in the supporting cast. ”

"Me? Participate in the supporting cast?! Xiao Gang was taken aback and said.

"That's right, in American movies, no matter what the cost of production, it is generally necessary to start with the trick and then gradually improve it, which is too time-consuming. In order to save this time, the only condition for me to participate in the show is that you will be a supporting role. ”

"But can I have that qualification? Didn't you say that you should have the corresponding strength? Xiao Gang said worriedly, although he is now a standalone martial arts star in South Korea, but when he participates in Hollywood, he is still a supporting role, how many Korean actors can reach this height?

"Why worry about your lack of strength? In terms of martial arts movements, Westerners are too rough and not observable at all, you punch me, I kick you. The observability of oriental martial arts is much stronger, and there are three more famous oriental martial arts stars in the United States, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Before Bruce Lee, there may have been many warriors who went to Hollywood to pan for gold, but they all failed. At that time, the Oriental martial arts were called: flower fist embroidered legs, which means that it is useless and looks good, but it has no striking strength and is despised by the Americans. ”

Xiao Gang listened very carefully, those three people are the pride of Orientals, but since they are all Chinese, as a Korean, he doesn't know much, "So what about Bruce Lee?" Jeet Kune Do? ”

"Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do is a martial art in actual combat," King said, "and it's a martial art that can be used in the ring." At that time, many Americans admired his martial arts charm, and when he was alive, he led a Chinese kung fu craze in American movies, but unfortunately he died too early. Jackie Chan is his successor in a sense, but unfortunately he still has more false moves than real moves in his kung fu. In this regard, Jet Li may be better. However, even these two people are already old, and Oriental martial arts have appeared in Hollywood. ”

"That's why they've taken a fancy to you, the president." Xiao Gang said excitedly, "But, what does this have to do with me? They don't want me. ”

"Not yet," King said aggressively, "but the future will be you, because I can only make cameos in American films, not lead or supporting roles, and that's not my main job." Besides, what I teach Xiao Gang is all screen-specific combat martial arts, which is very marketable in the United States. I believe that Xiao Gang will become the fourth Oriental warrior in Hollywood at that time. ”

When Xiao Gang heard this, he was excited in his heart, and immediately bowed to the king. King is not modest at all, calmly accepts it, and is ready to go on a journey to Hollywood, at this time, the combination of wind and rain, has conquered the Japanese, and there is no big problem whether he is in Japan or not.

"Is Zhenwu going to the United States soon?" Uchida Yuki is a little anxious, this decision will have an impact on her arrangements this year, "Japan's trip has been cancelled?" ”

"It won't have a big impact," King pointed to Xiao Gang, "I went this time to negotiate and let him play a supporting role, I just planned to be a villain." So even if there is shooting, it won't be too long, and it is estimated that I will be able to come back by June. ”

"Six months ago? That should be in time for the premiere of the movie," Yuki Uchida said with an undeniable look in his eyes, "I have to make a reservation first, and you must accompany me to participate when the time comes, that is, in June." ”

"Yuki's eyes can really kill people, so I'm going to come back to accompany Yuki to the premiere for this."

King and Xiaogang did not just go to the United States for the purpose of shooting movies, but also to prepare for DES's entry into the United States in the next year, so they also transferred Li Zhi to Los Angeles to find a suitable office space for the company and other preliminary preparations. As a result, entertainment reporters found out about the incident and made a lot of publicity, claiming that this was an indicator that DES was about to move to the United States.

"I said I didn't have to invite those Asians so highly," Warner said, "Andy, you see how excited these yellow-skinned monkeys got as soon as our invitation was made, and the company was moving to Los Angeles." ”

"Warner, those don't matter, what I fancy is the strength of this person, the color that can be added to the movie, you see," Director Andy pointed to the video of King's kendo fight in Japan, "This is definitely actual combat martial arts, violent aesthetics, it's so exciting." ”

Warner looked at it, "It's really good, but I think you went a little too far to give him an important role like Memphis, so let's choose someone else." ”

"As far as I know, the Lord of the Rings has arranged a role like the Elf Prince for him, and the Memphis arranged by us here is still dedicated to teaching Keanu with oriental martial arts, I think it's quite suitable."

"The Lord of the Rings?" Warner sneered, "I don't think they will really give the role of the Elven Prince to King in the end." ”

As he was talking, the phone rang, it was the secretary, "President Liu of DES and his artist have arrived." ”

"Invite them in," Warner said, "but I think I just invited him personally, did I?" What is he bringing an artist for? ”

King and Xiao Gang walked in under the guidance of the secretary, and Xiao Gang obviously looked a little nervous.

"President Liu is here," Andy greeted warmly, "I believe you have already read the script, right?" ”

King shook his hand and said, "I've seen it, it's a very good script, and it's positioned at the Oscars, and I think it's attractive enough." ”

"So what do you think of the characters in it, especially the Memphis character."

"Equivalent to the second male lead, a very important role."

"So, I won't say anything more, does President Liu have the confidence to shoot this role?" Andy noticed a flash of helplessness on Mr. Warner's face.

"Of course I have confidence, but I can't shoot this role." King said lightly

(King has been invited to appear in two very important films in the United States, so what kind of role will he choose to play?) In addition, how to bring out Xiaogang is also a problem. ）
