See the fastest updates

"Mr. Foudey...... Sure enough, it brought a new look to the head office, plus Mr. Cruise's wonderful movie, our company's performance in the next year will depend on the cooperation of the two, you know, the "007" movie is actually developed by the Brokeley family, our company's profits are very meager, I'm afraid we will have to work in vain for another year" Canon looked at Tom Cruise and smiled:

"Mr. Cruise, do you have any other projects at Luen Mei?"

Tom Cruise was about to speak, but suddenly found that he was not at the helm of United States, and turned his head to look at Li Xiaole quite embarrassedly, the entire MGM and Hollywood thought that he was the person in charge behind United States, and Li Xiaole was just a puppet, so that he sometimes forgot about it......

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Li Xiaole got up calmly, took his pre-sale contract and handed it to Foday: "This is my new project." Since Tom Cruise and Foudy have negotiated privately, it is natural that he will also hand it over to Sony for distribution, which will also save him a lot of trouble.

"Your new project?" Foudie turned his head to look at Tom Cruise suspiciously, but Tom Cruise was also at a loss, indicating that he didn't know about it.

"Your actor is Matthew Perry and Scarlett Johansson? The pre-sale price is $10.5 million? Foudey's mouth opened wide as he read it, and the contract indicated the reservation contracts for 147 theaters and two DVD studios, as well as the detailed loan amount from the bank.

Everyone at the scene was stunned, including Tom Cruise, all of them showed surprised expressions, and Canon looked at Li Xiaole in surprise, a little unable to believe his ears.

When everyone saw Li Xiaole nodding with a flat face, everyone whispered to each other, a director from China who has never shot any Hollywood themes, actually got a pre-sale of 10 million, which means that his American debut film will make a film with a production cost of 30 million US dollars and a publicity fee of 20 million!? It's unbelievable~!!

"This ......" Foday showed an embarrassed expression on his fat face, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and smiled awkwardly and said: "The only release I reported to the head office for distribution is Tom's movie, this one does not belong to Jihua, I'm afraid I still have to trouble MGM to deal with it himself......" said and his eyes drifted to Canon.

Canon's face was extremely gloomy, and he said in a cold tone: "I seem to have explained, we are going to produce the 007 series this year, and we have no other resources to take care of other works, and with an investment of 30 million US dollars, I am afraid that we will not be able to do it." "You want to push it to me, this idiot thinks it's beautiful.

"I know you have difficulties, but can't you overcome them and leave everything to the head office!?" Foudie was also anxious, and his voice raised an octave.

"I'm really sorry, I repeat, there's nothing we can do." Canon slapped the table angrily and glared at Foday as if he was about to get up and beat him up.

"I said Fody ......" Seeing Li Xiaole being kicked around like a leather ball and standing there awkwardly, Tom Cruise finally couldn't look at it, and coughed lightly:

"I remember that your agreement with me was that all the films of Luen Mei Company would be distributed by the head office, and it was not said that I produced it or Li's production, if you have this attitude, then I will quit too." Tom Cruise made a gesture of surrender with both hands.

"But I ......" Fody wanted to cry without tears and shouted in his heart, how did Lao Tzu know that this Chinese kid would get so many pre-sales!! Doesn't that kill him? However, when he saw Tom Cruise openly look like he was advancing and retreating with Li Xiaole, he could only weigh the power of the matter in his heart, and finally sighed and said helplessly:

"Okay...... All right...... I'm going to negotiate with the head office, I'll negotiate......" The expression was like stepping on dog shit and going to the toilet to wash shoes.

Li Xiaole threw a grateful look at Tom Cruise, and Tom Cruise responded with a smile and patted his chest with his fist, which meant "You're welcome, we are brothers." ”

Everyone was looking at the strange faces, discussing this strange thing one after another, Canon really looked at Foday with an aggrieved face, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, taking over two oil bottles at once, this idiot who pretends to be smart is really pathetic.

Li Xiaole sat back in his seat, and Wagner, who was next to Tom Cruise, couldn't help but sigh, as if he didn't know what to say.

"How do I feel that no one is optimistic about us......" Although it was approved, Agai didn't seem to be happy at all, and always felt that other people looked at him as if they were watching a joke.

"Don't worry~ Li, everyone's first movie is very difficult, take your time and don't worry." Tom Cruise felt the hostility around him, and comforted Li Xiaole with a smile: "Don't worry, if you think that the producer is not easy to grasp this time, you can come to my film to be the director in the future if you have the opportunity." ”

"Tom, I'm looking forward to our collaboration." Li Xiaole said very sincerely, Tom Cruise is still a superstar far above him, of course, he is qualified to promote him, but it will not be long before the gap between them will be narrowed, and it will not be certain who will help whom at that time.

Under the control of the strict film system, Canon can no longer play any tricks, after preparing for a week of film preparation at home, Li Xiaole received a notice that the film shooting funds approved by Sony after financing have come down, and Tom Cruise has been contacted to determine that a first-class shooting team can be rented, which makes Li Xiaole feel very excited,

Now everything is ready, "Life Remote Control" is about to start filming, and his first step back to Hollywood is about to begin, which makes Li Xiaole lying on the bed feel an inexplicable sense of satisfaction, and seems to feel that he also holds the remote control of his own life in his hand, 4 years of time are like a quick pass, and every step in the future, whether it is success or failure, can make him feel very wonderful, because he has stood on the stage that he never dared to imagine in the past, and those once illusory dreams have become reality one by one, There are more brilliant dreams waiting for him to realize in the future......

Lying on the bed, whether he is awake or dreaming, Li Xiaole sometimes can't tell the difference, but what he can be sure of is that he is smiling, smiling happily......

In the three parties of Sony and Luen Mei CAA, after multi-party coordination, it only took four days for all the personnel to be coordinated in place, and the crew of "Life Remote Control" held a simple meeting of the cast and crew.

Although this is Hollywood, many aspects are still the same as in China, and the actors still have to go through the script before filming, and everyone finds their own rhythm with each other.

"Hello everyone~ You should know me, I'm Matthew Perry, you can also call me Chand~" The actor Matthew Perry is the same as the character in "Friends", he is a living treasure character, he likes to joke very much, and he jokes with other actors exaggeratedly when he comes, which makes the atmosphere of the scene very relaxed.

Everyone felt in their hearts that this kind of light-hearted comedy must be very enjoyable, and they all read their lines in a weird tone with high spirits, making the scene burst into laughter from time to time.

Lei Ting also felt a little more down-to-earth when she saw this atmosphere next to her, after all, Hollywood is different from China, although everyone doesn't know Li Xiaole, a small Chinese director, but he has shown extremely high professional ethics, and there is no need to do any emotional mobilization at all, and a group of actors are already on track.

And Li Xiaole has been sitting with Henry Winkler and Julie Kafner, the old actors who play the protagonist Mike's parents, and they are talking about something, which makes other actors feel that they are being left out and feel a little uncomfortable, in fact, when they came today, when they learned that the angel who played the remote control issued to the protagonist in the play was played by a Chinese actor Liu Jiahui, everyone felt very uncomfortable.

In American film and television dramas, the usual religious figures such as angels and gods are played by white or black people, and angels played by yellow people, which makes people feel ridiculous......

Seeing that the actors and stars are resistant, and Li Xiaole has been talking to Henry and Jolie in the corner, Scarlett can't help but mutter, this Chinese kid can't figure out the key points, why does he always focus on the two supporting roles?

So she took the initiative to walk to Li Xiaole's side and reminded him in an old-fashioned manner:

"Director Li, I hope you can pay attention to those young actors, they are different from senior actors like us, and their emotions are easily influenced by the outside world."

Li Xiaole just smiled and waved his hand: "Just let them hate me, I still have something to do." ”

"Okay, count me nosy." Scarlett shrugged her shoulders and stepped back helplessly.

"Henry, Julie, you've been observing for a long time, judging by your feelings, can Matthew play this play well?" Li Xiaole turned his head and continued the gray-haired Henry with the topic just now.

The veteran actor, who has acted in more than a dozen American dramas, smiled gently: "Very good, very good." Julie also nodded amiably in agreement.

Although these two old actors have just met today, in order to establish the relationship between each other's characters, they have taken the initiative to sit together, and even began to have some emotional tacit understanding, which makes Li Xiaole also admire.

"Henry, I see it this way, this film is a story about the inner growth of people, I believe Matthew will definitely be able to play very well in the first half, not necessarily in the second half, there is no problem with his acting skills, but he is still a child, I don't feel any of the sadness and despair I need from him." Li Xiaole said unceremoniously.
