After this thought popped up in their minds at the same time, Li Xiaole and Wagner both understood it and stepped aside.

"What do you think?" Wagner asked Li Xiaole softly.

"I think Obadiah Stan has to be played by him, and we can make his films, and it's definitely a good thing for us to have Stallone join our company." Li Xiaole lowered his voice and said his opinion.

"Are you sure you're going to make his movie......?" Wagner was a little surprised, although Stallone's "Rocky 6" last year was very successful, but he is 60 years old after all, according to Stallone's inertia that as long as he is a screenwriter, he must be the protagonist himself, and the movie he shoots must be starring himself, the 60-year-old actor...... This is really too risky, after 2000, Stallone's box office appeal is not as good as before, and it is no longer as brave as it used to be.

"Rest assured, I have a Chinese-funded background, and Stallone's movies can be released in China, and with his popularity in China, it is completely fine to recover the cost." Li Xiaole stroked the bangs on his forehead with his hand.

He knows in his heart what the movie Stallone came to invest in, of course, it is the old-fashioned plot "The Expendables", it is a long-cherished wish of Stallone to gather veteran action stars to shoot this movie, for this movie, he has been running major production companies with scripts since 2003, but no company has approved it for so many years.

Willingness is very simple, this story plot is old-fashioned and has no new ideas, and the production cost is not low, not to mention that it is Stallone, a grandfather-level actor, as the starring actor, no matter who looks at it, this "The Expendables" will not be able to make money, if it weren't for Zuihou or Lionsgate to see the good response of "First Blood 4", I think that the veteran action star still has a certain box office appeal, and I will not risk investing in this movie.

And no one expected that this movie, which invested 70 million US dollars, finally exceeded 200 million US dollars at the global box office, and a large number of outdated action stars got together, which was no worse than those popular sissy handsome guys.

But no one could have predicted this result now... Wagner is the same, so Li Xiaole just used the pretext of the Chinese market to persuade her.

"That's fine, then I'll have a way." Wagner knew that the company would not lose money because of taking over Stallone's play, and he was also relieved, and instructed Li Xiaole:

"In this way~ Li~ I'll leave everything to me to deal with, you'd better not say a word, as long as Stallone mentions that he wants to shoot his new film, you just put on an impatient look."

"I'm just putting on a show?" Li Xiaole touched his face and felt funny, Wagner, a steely lady, this is to play the level of her gold agent.

"Sylvester has a bit of a strange temper, if you don't put on a tough attitude to suppress him, I'm afraid that he's a supporting actor who has more ideas than you, the director." Wagner sighed, obviously knowing Stallone very well.

Li Xiaole also looked at Stallone from a distance, and Stallone, who was touching Tom Cruise's head and smiling, also recalled the information of the legendary actor, different from the image of the iron-blooded tough guy in everyone's impression, this muscular action star is actually an out-and-out talent......

When the superstar was born, because his mother had a difficult birth, the doctor misused forceps to assist the delivery, causing part of his left cheek muscle to be paralyzed, his left eyelid and left lip drooping, and slurred speech, which was almost equivalent to a congenital disability for the actor.

However, since he was a child, Stallone did not want to be a physical education teacher, he just wanted to be an actor, at first, no crew wanted this actor with facial paralysis, so Stallone simply studied screenwriting and writing scripts by himself, during that time, he cleaned lion cages for the zoo during the day, delivered pizzas, helped others fish, helped people take care of bookstalls in bookstores and worked as a ushers in movie theaters, cleaned toilets, and spent his time studying scripts at night.

He handed out the script, then was rejected, then handed out the script and then rejected again, and so on for several years, and later his mother recalled that Stallone was always ...... 1,375 times during this period

And in the end, he still got a chance, Stallone exchanged the script "Rocky" he wrote for a leading role, and "Rocky" broke through 2 at the box office. $2.5 billion, and took away the Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director that year, and Stallone was also nominated for Best Actor and Best Screenplay......

And Sylvester Stallone himself, after that, also directed the next 4 parts of the "Rocky" series, almost all of which were brilliant.

This is a real grassroots legend, almost all actors in the United States know this story, and even now, many actors who work hard at the bottom of Hollywood will put a poster of "Rocky" in their apartment rooms to motivate themselves in the low tide, and Chen Anzhi, a master of Chinese success, often uses the story of Stallone as a classic joke in his training.

In the face of such a Hollywood legend, it is indeed not so easy to let him play the villain obediently, and it is easy for him to lose control if he is not careful. There will be a situation in "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea", where the audience forgets the result of the protagonist remembering the supporting role after watching it, then it is quite a failure for a movie.

"Well, just your way." Li Xiaole nodded and asked Wagner to let it go.

"Sylvester~Okay~ Show your script to our boss." Wagner walked over and took Stallone by the arm.

"Mr. Li, yes~~ take it and see it." Stallone handed over the heavy storyboard script of "The Expendables", and glared at Li Xiaole with his drooping eyes by the way, which seemed to be looking, but it looked a bit like a threat, this legendary actor who played Rocky, Rambo ~ can overwhelm a radiant actor like Tom Cruise, giving people a huge sense of oppression.

Li Xiaole even felt that if he didn't promise him, would he take out his machine gun and collapse himself directly......?

"Do you want me to introduce you?" Stallone looked at Li Xiaole and flipped through his script with an uninterested face, and said in that vague tone:

"Although there is nothing new in this story, the lines and characters are described in great detail, as long as the right actors are invited to perform it......"

Wagner was also very "kind" and said: "Boss, Sylvester is my friend, really very talented......"

"Wait, wait until I finish reading this document." Li Xiaole didn't reply, and looked at the script in his hand intently, which made Stallone, a big name, look embarrassed.

Seeing Li Xiaole's cold face, Wagner smiled in his heart, but he was afraid that Li Xiaole would not be able to grasp the heat well, and he would really make Stallone angry, so he could only look at Li Xiaole and let him almost be fine.

But Li Xiaole still didn't look back, but his face became more impatient, took out a pen, and drew something on the A4 paper used in the office, Wagner made a "helpless" look at Stallone, looking at Stallone with an embarrassed face, which made Tom Cruise next to him feel very relieved.

The silence in the office lasted for half an hour, and Stallone kept whispering beside him, and Wagner signaled him to wait calmly, not in a hurry, because Li Xiaole, the boss, had a very bad temper.

"Sylvester, just now you know that we are filming Iron Man now, and we can't find a suitable candidate, can you help me see if you have any friends who are suitable?" Seeing that the time was almost up, Wagner also handed over his laptop and asked him to look at the profile of Obadistein's character.

Stallone was obviously not very interested, but after a closer look at the fact that they had rejected so many top actors, and then saw that the requirements of the actor for that role seemed to be very consistent with himself, and then looked at Li Xiaole's impatient appearance, he also moved his heart to save the country, looked at Wagner and said:

"Wagner, I can play this role."

Sure enough, I took the bait~ Wagner smiled in his heart, sure enough, this Stallone is still so persistent and unstoppable, now it's time for Li Xiaole to come forward......

Wagner was turning his head to signal to Li Xiaole, but he didn't expect to hear a "hiss~", Li Xiaole actually tore off a lot of pages from the storyboard script that was Stallone, and in front of Stallone, he rolled it directly into a paper ball and threw it directly into the trash can next to the desk!

"What are you doing?" After a short period of stunned, Stallone "Teng" bounced up from the bench at once, stared at Li Xiaole in anger and asked him in a low voice, that angry look like a crazy lion, as if he was going to swallow Li Xiaole on the spot, scaring Tom Cruise and Wagner stupid......

"Because the fight action design on those pages is so bad, it's all rubbish, so I threw it away for you." Li Xiaole's face was as natural as possible, and when he thought of those action design drafts, he showed a disgusted expression on his face.

"My motion design is garbage?" Stallone laughed angrily, but combined with his paralyzed cheeks, it made people feel even more vicious.

"Yes." Li Xiaole also slowly stood up and looked at him calmly: "The fight between the Chinese Ying Yang and Jeff inside, Ying Yang's tricks are too simple to design, and Ying Yang will not lose that big guy Jeff at all." "When watching the original "The Expendables", Li Xiaole felt incredible about this design, the kung fu emperor Li Lianjie lost to the 50-year-old big man Dolph Longer...... This gaffe is too unreasonable, is it just to create a powerful image of the villain?

Whether it is as a reality or a screen image, this is impossible, Li Lianjie is not the kind of showmanship of Chen Long, he is a real martial arts champion, praised as a martial arts genius by the domestic traditional martial arts community, although Dolph Longer is also a martial artist, but his slow movement frequency after getting older, how can he defeat Li Lianjie in an open field environment!?
