275 For justice

When Chen Xueqian met Michael Keaton, the Hollywood star was not the old man he remembered. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Come to think of it, the first time Chen Xueqian noticed the other party in his previous life was in the 2015 Hollywood Best Picture "Birdman".

In this black humor film with a bit of self-deprecation, the Hollywood movie star performs very well. But it wasn't until the other party's "Focus" came out that Chen Xueqian really realized how good the actor's acting skills were.

So Chen Xueqian hopes to invite the other party to join his team this time.

But it is clear that the Hollywood star is not yet as open-minded as later generations. I haven't fully understood a lot of things.

Keaton, who met Chen Xueqian for the first time, was also surprised, he really didn't expect that someone who has made a name for himself in Hollywood in recent times would be so young.

There is no shortage of young people who become famous in Hollywood, but they are all actors, and when they rise to the level of directors, there are many fewer who become famous at a young age, not to mention that Chen Xueqian is still the CEO of a company, and this is the only one that is completely like this.

The place Chen Xueqian chose to meet was a high-end restaurant in Hollywood, which was occasionally haunted by Hollywood stars.

After the two sat down, Chen Xueqian opened the topic first.

"Hello Mr. Keaton, after a few phone calls, we finally have a chance to meet!"

"Hello Chen, I didn't expect you to be much younger than the legend." Keaton said with emotion. For him, perhaps the twilight of a strong man is the saddest fact for him.

"Mr. Keaton, as I said on the phone, I love your acting style, so I'd love to have you join me in this play!"

After greetings, Chen Xueqian did not hesitate to get straight to the point.

"Chen, you are too polite, to be honest, I recently specially found your director's work to watch it, and I have to say that your films are very good, even if it is that action movie, I like it very much."

Michael Keaton saw that Chen Xueqian entered the topic without delay, so he said equally frankly.

"It's just Chen, do you know how much protest you're going to make this film will cause?" Keaton voiced his biggest concern about declining the invitation.

"I know that even though I'm not an American or a Catholic, I'm well aware of the importance that this country places on the church and the influence it has on the country. But I may ask, Mr. Keaton, are you a Catholic? ”

Keaton hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not!" ”

"So have you read this press release from Boston?" Chen Xueqian continued to ask.

"To be honest, I only recently looked at the system, and I must admit that I was shocked by this, I was angry at some of the actions of the church, and I have deep admiration for these journalists, but I have to admit that I don't have the courage myself, and frankly, I don't think I'm prepared."

When Keaton finished speaking, Chen Xueqian couldn't help but pause slightly, and then spoke: "Mr. Keaton, I think the point of the matter is not whether you have courage, but whether you are worried about the power of the church, right?" ”

Keaton hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"I believe you say that your admiration for the Boston reporter is genuine, and I believe that there is such a sense of responsibility in your heart. You know, I didn't make this film to attack the church, I didn't mean to offend the church, but you know, this kind of thing continues to happen in the church, and the bishop of the year was not affected, but was promoted. Keaton, we have to do something for this society, for the sake of the children who are being victimized. ”

When Chen Xueqian's words were finished, Keaton couldn't help but look a little serious: "This ・・・・・・"

He originally subconsciously wanted to refute, but before the words came out, he knew that his question was superfluous at all, and Chen Xueqian obviously wouldn't joke about it.

It was only in this way that Keaton's hesitation loosened for the first time. Yes, he admired the Boston Globe reporters and was angry at what the church had done in the matter. But these two emotions did not affect his concern about the power of the church, which was a worry about his acting career.

But when he learns that the sins of the past have not been completely resolved, the sense of justice that has been aroused in his heart overrides the fear for the future for the first time.

And Keaton is clearly aware of one thing, if this matter does not end there, then after this movie comes out, in addition to the pressure from the church, it will get more resonance and attention. And that's exactly what he needs most at the moment.

"If that's the case, I can consider starring in this movie." In the end, Keaton agreed to Chen Xueqian after pondering for a long time.

Chen Xueqian was overjoyed with this result. He didn't care what Keaton's motivation was for accepting the invitation, he just had to get the result.

After visiting Michael Keaton, Chen Xueqian is ready to visit another leading actor, that is, Rachel McAdams.

This Canadian actress, born in 1978, has a unique temperament and is the most suitable candidate for Chen Xueqian's work.

For this reason, although the other party is still a little immature, Chen Xueqian still sent an invitation to the other party.

It's just that the other party's agency doesn't seem to want their newcomer to star in such a controversial movie, so Chen Xueqian was rejected.

In this regard, Chen Xueqian was actually quite surprised. Keaton rejected himself, in fact, Chen Xueqian expected it, after all, the other party's qualifications are there, although it has been a little rough in recent years, but after all, he has his own capital.

But Rachel rejected herself, and Chen Xueqian was somewhat incomprehensible. Pinnacle Entertainment, as a Hollywood upstart, has an opportunity to extend an invitation to a rookie actor, which is not always available.

Because of the strangeness, Chen Xueqian deliberately did some understanding to understand the twists and turns behind this matter.

Rachel McAdams, who was born in Canada, has a deep relationship with Lionsgate, a film company also from Canada, but Lionsgate has no good impression of Chen Xueqian.

It can even be said that there is a beam between them, and Lionsgate has always been interested in acquiring Summit Entertainment to help them develop resources in American theaters.

However, this plan was cut off by Chen Xueqian before it began, which made him how Lionsgate could not be annoyed, seeing that Chen Xueqian had gained a firm foothold in Hollywood with the three series of movies "The Hangover", "Twilight" and "Hurricane Rescue", Lionsgate couldn't help but want to disgust Chen Xueqian.

learned that Rachel had received Chen Xueqian's invitation, so she found her agency and hinted that the other party had better not cooperate with Chen Xueqian.

As a result, Chen Xueqian was rejected mercilessly.

It's just that Chen Xueqian is not a kind and good-tempered person.

Chen's partner, Carl Icahn, once bought Lionsgate, and although the acquisition was not entirely successful, it also made a lot of profits.

And this time, Chen Xueqian once again teamed up with Carl Icahn to launch a hostile takeover of the film company invested by Canadian bankers.

In this way, the other party suddenly has no leisure to pay attention to Rachel McAdams's movements.

So when Chen Xueqian sent an invitation to the other party again, the other party proposed that he wanted to meet and talk.

In fact, under normal circumstances, the actors of a movie are usually selected by the crew, but for a long time, most of the movies shot by Chen Xueqian are copies of the works of his previous life. Therefore, it is inevitable that it will be affected when selecting people, so when filming movies, invitations are often sent to some promising actors.

In addition, this movie is indeed quite controversial, so Chen Xueqian directly sent invitations to several protagonists one by one.

It's just that I didn't expect to encounter two rejections in succession.

But it's not a big deal to talk to the other party, after all, for the sake of this movie, Rachel deliberately flew from Canada to the United States

In this way, the other party is just trying to test Chen Xueqian's sincerity, and the other party doesn't know that the person who meets them will be Chen Xueqian himself.

So when Chen Xueqian appeared in front of Rachel McAdams, the actress who had just made a name for herself in the film industry was thrilled.

So much so that she held Chen Xueqian's hand and was stunned for a long time before letting go.

After talking about business, the young actor was even easier to convince than Chen Xueqian expected, he just handed the original global newspaper to the other party, and when she raised her head from the newspaper, she agreed to Chen Xueqian's invitation with great certainty.

In the heart of this young actress, there is obviously a belief in justice! It seems that this actor is not bad!

After inviting the actors, Chen Xueqian's next step is to formally form the crew, and go back to the company to see the shareholders who are a little carried away because he has been absent for a while. (To be continued.) )
