Chapter 397: The English Rose (2nd Update)

In 2004, when Christian Bale starred in "The Mechanic". In order to play this role of suffering from insomnia, Bell, who originally weighed more than 170 pounds, quickly lost 110 pounds in 2 weeks. Seeing the skinny figure in the movie, it is hard for people to imagine that he would weigh more than 170 pounds before. Hu Yifei also admired his professionalism. Many American actors may be very debauched in their private lives, but when it comes to work, that kind of enthusiasm is often moved by you.

Bell didn't expect him to make such a point, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your suggestion." I don't want to lose weight all of a sudden. ”

"Then don't gain weight." Hu Yifei said decisively: "In the new film, I will try to change Batman's fighting style and add more Israeli fighting skills." And arrange a few stuntmen for you, maybe a little more flexible, instead of violently smashing the enemy's face with his fists. ”

Bell laughed, "That's a good idea, is it enough for me now?" ”

"Of course."

"Thank you." Bell thanked him.

The two had a fairly harmonious meeting.

In the eyes of Hollywood people, the persistence of Orientals, especially Chinese, in action design is obvious to all. Especially in the face of kung fu, it can be elevated to a sacred state.

Although most Hollywood people look down on their fake fights, they have to admire that they are very good-looking. Hu Yifei does not have a Chinese kung fu plot, but he also adheres to the concept that the action must be good-looking.

He wouldn't let Batman play Chinese kung fu or Japanese ninjutsu, that would be unrealistic.

Compared to the fist-to-flesh fights in the original game, Batman makes more use of technology and body equipment, which makes it look slightly bulky. Hu Yifei personally prefers the action style in "Captain America 2/3", which is elegant, fast, and very powerful. It can kick an opponent several meters away with a single kick, and can also complete a chain leg in the air, and the fighting skills are versatile and light, which is pleasing to the eye.

……

Hu Yifei directed "Batman 2", Warner agreed to the budget of $150 million you quoted, and Erica also helped him negotiate a personal director treatment, if the box office exceeds 500 million, he will get a basic salary of $15 million plus a stepped 10% box office share, and the global box office performance will increase by 100 million, and the box office share he gets will increase by 2%, up to the 20% share cap. However, that would require at least a billion dollars at the box office, and perhaps no one on the entire planet will be confident to achieve this achievement except Hu Yifei.

In addition, he also enjoys a 5%~15% tiered peripheral revenue share.

In addition, he will also play a major supporting role in this Budu movie. The actor's salary is relatively low, but it is also a doxxing of $10 million. It can also be regarded as meeting the requirements of the supporting role of the role.

This is already Hollywood's top director contract and the value of a first-line actor playing a supporting role, Hu Yifei has no objection.

Batman is about to start, and the heroine candidate will also be determined.

Katie Holmes, the heroine of "Batman 1: The Movie", has decided that she will not continue to appear in the sequel to "Batman" for personal reasons. The reason is well known, she is married to Mr. Tom Cruise and is now more comfortable at home with her husband and daughter.

It's really regrettable news, everyone is more optimistic about Katie continuing to play the heroine. Now I have to choose a new heroine. The heroine of Batman? Although the reboot of the Batman series is not too good, it will also attract attention. What's more, this time the famous "Inception" director Hu Yifei was invited to direct, which also made Batman attract attention again.

Many Hollywood actresses are ready to move, and even Scarlett, who is pregnant and about to give birth, is restless, and asks him if he can play this role if he loses weight after giving birth. was rejected very unceremoniously by Hu Yifei, "It's better for you to play the role of Hu Yifei's child with peace of mind." ”

Among the many candidates, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Rachel McAdams, Emily Blunt, and Kate Beckinsale have been rumored to get the role. Behind this, their brokerage company is naturally fueling the trouble.

Hu Yifei was more surprised, among the many people who found him here as a lobbyist, Maggie Gyllenhaal's background turned out to be the strongest among the candidates. Her father, Stephen Gyllenhaal, is a director who was once nominated for an Emmy Award for Best Director; Her mother, Nomi Verner, is a playwright who has also been nominated for a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for Best Screenplay. There is also the younger brother of a rising Hollywood star, Jake Gyllenhaal. It's really a family of stars.

If it develops according to the original time and space, it will be certain that she will get the role of heroine.

However, Hu Yifei doesn't like her performance very much, or it's an aesthetic problem. Even the face that he can't look down on, will the rich man Bruce Wayne come back to life for the death of her love?

"Hello, Director Hu Yifei."

After a busy day, Hu Yifei drove home. Passing by a flower shop, he stopped his car and walked in to buy a bouquet of flowers.

Suddenly, a tall woman who came towards her greeted Hu Yifei, but before she could get close, she was stopped by the bodyguard. When Hu Yifei saw someone coming, he nodded to the bodyguard and let her go, "Hello, Miss Beckinsale." ”

Among the candidates submitted by Charles Rowan, Kate Beckinsale was the first choice for the actress.

This British actress is also a big name in the eyes of Chinese audiences. From the tender nurse in "Pearl Harbor" to the delicate and lovely bride-to-be in "Destiny", Beckinsale, who is dyed with a dark temperament, is even more charming. The heroine who played the vampire princess in the movie "Van Helsing" is impressive. "Fate" has established her status among Hollywood first-line actresses.

And the charismatic female vampire she portrayed in the "Legend of the Night" series of movies is heroic, showing a clean and neat knife edge licking blood, and this series of films has also become a classic in vampire movies. This "English Rose" blooms with charming colors in the Hollywood sun, and is known as a temperamental actress who "combines classical beauty and modern beauty".

Of course, these are complimentary evaluations.

In fact, Hollywood has a glamorous appearance, but where can there be a glamorous interior. In her years in Hollywood, her experience is also quite apprehensive, which can be described as ups and downs.

played the heroine of two super masterpieces such as "Pearl Harbor" and "Van Helsing", but the response was mediocre, and even dragged down by the film. But then starred in the "Legend of the Night" series of movies, which can be regarded as establishing her status as a drama actress and stepping out of her own style among a group of Hollywood actresses. But she is still puzzled by this, if time and space remain unchanged, it will be difficult for her to break free from the image of works in the future except for "Tales of the Night".

And "Legend of the Night" has been filmed again and again, and it is really difficult to call it a blockbuster series.

"I didn't expect to meet you here, Mr. Hu." The English Rose was holding a little girl with a large bag in her hand, apparently shopping.

"Call me Galen." Hu Yifei smiled slightly, "Is this your daughter?" How-are-you, baby, what's your name? ”

The little girl who carved pink and jade was not afraid of life at all, and looked at Hu Yifei boldly, "My name is Lily, what about you?" ”

"My name is Galen, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

He shook the little girl's hand. Lily thought it was funny and giggled and shook his hand.

Kate smiled, "Galen, are you going to buy flowers?" For Miss Scarlett? ”

"Yes, on the fly."

"If you're pregnant, I don't mind if you buy roses, because the smell of flowers might irritate people."

Hu Yifei was stunned, "I don't have any research on these......"

Kate smiled, "If you don't mind, I can help you choose a light flower." ”

"Of course, thank you very much."

Kate happily accepted the order and took Hu Yifei back into the flower shop to choose, "Raising flowers at home can not only beautify the environment, clean the air, but also make people pleasing to the eye and nourishing temperament." However, although there are many benefits of raising flowers, not all flowers can be raised during pregnancy, especially in winter, pregnant women have a strong metabolism, skin and respiratory tract are more sensitive, some flowers may cause discomfort to pregnant mothers, such as unhappy mood, skin allergies, and in severe cases, it may also lead to fetal instability, and even miscarriage. ”

"Therefore, some flowers are really not suitable for planting during pregnancy."

"Wow, I don't know that. Do you have any recommendations? ”

"There are a lot of them." Kate recommended flowers such as spider plants, aloe vera, ivy, purple jasmine, violet, and even cactus. According to her, the stomata on the succulent stems of these plants close during the day and open at night, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, which is beneficial to human health.

Hu Yifei was in a dilemma, how to choose so much, he simply waved his hand, "Give me a pot for everything." ”

Kate was stunned and smiled.

"Thank you very much, Miss Kate, and if you have time, I would like to invite you to my house."

Kate said, "No thanks, I think our family will be happy to participate." ”

"Galen, will you invite me too?"

Lily suddenly spoke, "Do you want a little sister in your family?" That's a lot of fun. ”

Hu Yifei smiled, "If you want, of course, little baby." ”

Before leaving, Hu Yifei asked, "Kate, what do you think about the Batman heroine?" ”

Kate couldn't help but look at him more and said, "Galen, I didn't mean anything else, today's meeting was really a coincidence." I want to spend more time with my daughter than I do with my character. ”

"Oh?" Hu Yifei smiled, "So, did you give up this role to run?" ”

Kate was taken aback, but don't be self-defeating, "No, of course not, if I have the opportunity, I still very much hope to get this role." ”

Hu Yifei laughed, "Okay, I understand." Thanks again for your help and goodbye. (To be continued.) )
