At this time, Lian Jie was still a U.S. citizen, but some things were easier to do in Singapore.

In fact, Singapore's position in Asia is very unique, and it is very powerful in Southeast Asia, but no one dares to touch her in the land of projectiles, which is actually because of the United States.

That aspect is relatively deep, and it doesn't have much to do with Lao Mouzi, Zhang Yimou met Lianjie in Singapore, many things are convenient, and what they want to talk about, of course, is a matter of role......

"I like your film very much, and it would be great if we could work together!"

After greeting Zhang Yimou, Brother Lianjie, who was already an international superstar at this time, was also very low. If nothing else, this attitude is very good.

Of course, Zhang Yimou is very happy, who can feel uncomfortable?

So, Zhang Yimou told the matter, "Lian Jie, I just want to say something here, I plan a new film, there is a character in it, I feel very suitable for you, this role is the nameless, I have read the script before, right?" ”

These two people chatted, a lot of work has been done in front, the script or something, of course Lian Jie has also read it, otherwise he wouldn't have flown over to meet.

In other words, in fact, Lian Jie has already taken a fancy to this role, and he really wants to play it. And this mentality, how can the scheming Zhang Yimou not see it?

In that case, there are many things that can be said.

Zhang Yimou patted Lian Jie's shoulder very affectionately, and then said: "Lian Jie, you are worthy of being an international superstar, and Hollywood has also seen the market, which is indeed extraordinary." However, I believe you can also understand that in our country, there is no way to compare with Hollywood. This is mainly on the issue of funds, you earn dollars in the United States, and we can't give dollars in China, we can only use our money to denominate, so, this thing is ......."

When Lian Jie heard this, he also understood more or less in his heart, since he talked about this money, he must want to talk about it, then he must want to talk about it. It can't be up.

However, Lian Jie's side really wanted to shoot this scene, because after he read the script, he liked this role, and the domestic situation, as far as the current domestic film market is concerned, he also knows that he is also Chinese, and he also came out of China.

"Good! That's fine. Lian Jie nodded, very generous. But though, there is something to say, "How much can you produce that director?" ”

Lian Jie's attitude is also very affordable. Quite affordable.

"$3 million!" Zhang Yimou gritted his teeth and said this!

3 million US dollars, but I said before that it is calculated in RMB, so what does this mean, as long as you have mixed in the rivers and lakes, you can understand it. That's the emphasis!

3 million US dollars is equivalent to 24 million yuan at this time, and Zhang Yimou's meaning is also in it, which is in our country. 24 million is definitely a sky-high price.

My old mouzi is not thin with you, definitely not thin, this price is definitely our best effort.

However, the reason why he got such a hand is that Zhang Yimou is also in a rut, because at this time, Lian Jie, as a Hollywood star, his salary is not ordinary.

After "Deadly Romeo", Lian Jie immediately took over a film, this film is still a big production, and it is also a multinational cooperation, Luc Besson served as the producer and screenwriter, "Dragon's Kiss"!

In this movie, Lian Jie's salary is close to 10 million US dollars, everyone knows about this, and it has been in the news before.

And to say, with the current status of Lianjie, this value is very normal, the last "Deadly Romeo" is his box office single antibody, quite dazzling, with a box office of more than 54 million US dollars, and the videotape DVD is also sold at this price, that is, more than 100 million US dollars.

The value of others is now more than 10 million US dollars, and what Zhang Yimou can come out of now, or what his old friend Zhang Weiping can give, is the highest 3 million US dollars, and there is really no more.

The planned investment of the entire "Hero" is 100 million yuan, and now this offer is close to more than a quarter of the investment, this is just an actor, so what about the other roles? And what about other costs?

This is the limit, Zhang Yimou can't help it, he doesn't want to play these things, there is really no way.

The offer is this, so how does Lianjie choose?

"Hey~" sighed, and then laughed again, which was quite strange.

As soon as he saw this expression, Lao Mouzi's heart was cold.

"In this way, Lian Jie, if you think about it again, I will go back and work hard, what do you think?"

Zhang Yimou is really working hard.

"Okay! I think about it. Lian Jie smiled and nodded.

This matter is basically a bit unreliable, Lao Mouzi knows it in his heart, but is there anyone wrong in this matter?

It's really not, and Lao Mouzi knows it.

That's all he can do, he has done his best, the reality is like this, Zhang Weiping can come up with all this money, and what about Lian Jie?

He is not wrong, from his point of view, if he takes such a film with a salary of 3 million US dollars, what will he do in the future?

You must know that Lian Jie at this time is the rising period of his acting career, or a high-speed growth, and no one will lower his value.

Actually, Zhang Yimou still doesn't know some inside information, that is, before, Lian Jie politely refused the Wachowski brothers, that is, he politely refused the invitation of "The Matrix", and the salary offered to Lian Jie at that time was 3 million US dollars!

Of course, this is all inside information, Zhang Yimou really can't know, so back to the current question, who can the hero of "Hero" find?

In fact, Zhang Yimou has another candidate, and that is Big Brother Long!

But to be honest, Zhang Yimou himself is a little uncomfortable with this candidate, because ......

The nameless in "Hero", how to say this, you have to be handsome, but Big Brother Long, let's not talk about this old man, the key is the big nose, this, this, this......

Forget it, for the box office!

That's right, in fact, Zhang Yimou's casting finally fell on the box office appeal, or on the international influence, he also wanted to pursue art, but reality told him that so many years of experience in the film industry told him that art can't be eaten, and the box office is the most important thing.

However, there is a problem with this choice......

"Director Zhang, I think some of the ideas of this script are problematic, this person's ideas are good, but in the end, it is right not to kill Qin Shi Huang, but why die? It's not good to die......"

Zhang Yimou didn't achieve his goal in Singapore, before the Chinese New Year, he went to Hong Kong again and met Big Brother Long, but Big Brother Long said that he didn't want to die!

Right!

Big Brother Dragon's movie, Big Brother Dragon Never Died!

This is a super bottom line of the Big Brother Dragon movie, and it can even be said to be a rule, anyway, the heroes created by Big Brother Dragon may be funny, maybe not so great, but they have never died!

That's why...... If you really want to find it, then I'm afraid you have to go back to the time when Big Brother Long entered the industry.

Big Brother Long's first movie is the great director Li Hanxiang's "Golden Vase Shuangyan", in this movie, Big Brother Long is a character close to passer-by, with two buns combed on his head and selling pears everywhere...... Nothing too brilliant, and then someone killed it.

It may have caused a psychological shadow, but this is unknown.

So now, Big Brother Long has put forward his own opinion on the main line of this movie, that is, in the end, can our unknown hero rely on his own martial arts and then kill the generals from the Qin Palace!

You know, there is something in the script, the remnant sword and flying snow are not the 'three thousand iron armor that can't be stopped' back then, and the nameless martial arts are similar to theirs, and there is no problem in killing them. Moreover, in the middle, there are even a few performances that Big Brother Long is good at.

That's right, the big brother dragon's fighting performance, it's very fun, it's funny, how good is that, isn't it?

And the salary, that's all easy to say, even Big Brother Long can invest money, anyway, people have money, it's not bad for you, so, it depends on this requirement, this requirement......

"......" Zhang Yimou almost squirted out a mouthful of old blood!

The final ending of "Hero", what an allegorical ending, the death of a hero is for a hero, big brother Long, you still want to play a little juggling martial arts, and then escape from Ascension?

It's simply ......

Come on, Big Brother Long's side is not successful, Zhang Yimou has failed again.

It should be said that there is no way to do this difficult thing, Zhang Yimou is a little prepared in his heart, he knows that these big names are not easy to do, because he has already contacted Chaowei, Manyu, and his original beloved apprentice, Zhang Ziyi......

This is not bad, after all, they all agreed, and the salary is easy to say, and if you want to say the best thing to say, that is to be clear, worthy of being a good actor, one of the few people who are best at acting in China, people agreed to this script as soon as they saw it, and after chatting, the two of them were also very speculative.

You must know that with this cast, many people Zhang Yimou have never cooperated, Daoming had one time before, but he hasn't cooperated for more than ten years, so it's really not good.

And now, a super big problem has come, who is the male protagonist of this movie "Hero"?

Who's going to play Nameless?

Zhang Yimou's hair turned white, and he couldn't find this person a little bit.

However, I have to go back to China, and I have to continue to be busy with this movie.

"According to CNN, the famous rock star movie star Luo Yaoxiang recently joined the crew of the Wachowski brothers' new film "The Matrix 2", and the two sides only made a simple disclosure on this matter, as for which role Luo Yaoxiang plays, it is still unknown......

This is the news broadcast on TV at the Hong Kong airport, and the news ......

"Luo Yaoxiang?!" Lao Mouzi's heart was moved. (To be continued.) )
