Therefore, after knowing the reason for the other party's compromise, Suda directly had to move forward, not only to take the role of the heroine, but even to let Eastwood accept the employees sent by Suda's side, that is to say, Suda wants to use Eastwood's crew to increase the mode and technology of Hollywood filming for his employees!

"No, don't even think about it, the heroine has to be played by a white person!" Eastwood didn't even think about it and refused directly.

Suda's face changed suddenly, and he directly slapped the case, and said to Eastwood: "Sir, are you racist?" Now, please give me a chance to go back to your country right away, you're not welcome here! The suddenness of the outbreak shocked the Asian representatives sent by Eastwood and Warner Bros.

Eastwood immediately understood the sick sentence in his mouth, and quickly explained: "Dear Sue, I think you misunderstood what I meant, since you like "Million Dollar Baby" so much, then you must know that this is a story about an American dream, and you let a Chinese become the heroine, which is not suitable!" ”

Suda smiled disdainfully and sneered: "I don't think there's anything that is not suitable, you Americans are not all races blended together, don't tell me that Chinese Americans in the United States are not Americans, I don't read much, don't lie to me!" "Anyway, knowing Warner Bros.'s attitude towards "Million Dollar Baby", Suda is naturally not in a hurry!

"However, if you insist on hiring Chinese actors as the heroine, it will affect the later income of the movie!"

Eastwood isn't much of a racist, but Hollywood has a Hollywood sense of what it means to be a movie character. Rules. Then, that is, the protagonist can always only be white, the black can only be a supporting role, the positive role will always belong to the white, and the petty thief will only be given to those Chinese and black. Eastwood has been in Hollywood for decades, and he has certainly adapted, or rather become accustomed to. Rules. Rule!

The representative of Warner Bros. Asia also spoke: "That's right, if Mr. Su insists on using a Chinese actor as the heroine, then we can only say that we can only say that this movie is a pity!" "After all, in this day and age, there are not many black people as the protagonists. But it still exists, but it is necessary to use Asians as the protagonists, which is absolutely not available in Hollywood, even if Cheng Long, in fact, the movies he shot in Hollywood are not so much Hollywood movies as Hollywood movies shot by Xiangjiang.

Suda smiled slightly, sat down again, and replied, "It's okay. I'm not in a hurry anyway, and I just love this movie, I know better than I do to director Eastwood, the highlight of "Million Dollar Baby" is in the heroine, if you don't want to shoot, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal if I find another director to shoot, I don't believe it. If you have money, you're afraid that you won't be able to hire a director! ”

As soon as the Warner Bros. representatives heard what Suda meant, they immediately understood what he meant. stood up, nodded at Su Da with a smile and said, "Then I would like to congratulate Mr. Su on the big sale of the movie, and I hope that there will be a chance to cooperate next time!" After shaking hands with Suda, he was ready to leave.

But Eastwood hesitated, and it was obvious that he liked the movie "Million Dollar Baby" very much, otherwise he would not have come to Asia again and again to find Suda to reach a cooperation agreement. But when I heard that Suda was going to find another director to shoot "Million Dollar Baby". Eastwood was very angry, he felt that his things had been snatched away, and he didn't know how many words he cursed Suda in his heart, but Eastwood still chose to stay.

"Lee, you go first. I'd like to talk to Mr. Su again! ”

The representative of Warner Bros. Asia shrugged his shoulders when he heard Eastwood's words, he naturally understood Eastwood's thoughts, but in his opinion, the attitude of the top towards "Million Dollar Baby" is dispensable, and the reason why he sent someone to accompany Eastwood to China is mainly because of Eastwood's previous friendship with Warner, and now Suda's refusal is just to solve a burden for Warner Brothers and give them a step down!

"So, I wish you all a pleasant conversation, I'll take my leave first!"

"Secretary Zhou, help me send Mr. Li!"

After sending off Warner Bros. representatives in Asia, Suda sat down with Eastwood again, he wanted to hear what method Eastwood was going to use to convince himself, anyway, no matter what Eastwood said, Suda's mind had been decided, to put it bluntly, the film copyright of the novel was in his hands, and Suda didn't have to worry about it at all.

"Mr. Su, I think we can have a friendly talk!"

"Of course!"

……………………………………

Initially heard from Clint. What was the first image that crossed Suda's mind when the name Eastwood was named? An American cowboy who was never young and taciturn like a living fossil? An ageless detective who always wears a cowboy hat and has accurate marksmanship? A boxing coach who is persistent and kind and treats his apprentices like daughters? Or a photographer who is intoxicated by the love of twilight?

That's right, these are all him, as an actor, Eastwood has played so many types of roles, has a colorful career, and has dedicated one wonderful work after another. However, as a director, he has achieved great success, and many of his independent films have been artistically and commercially successful.

Eastwood is not a master of cinematic technique, and his films don't have a vertigo-spinning narrative structure, and they rarely use quick shots or subtle cuts to create tension and suspense. His films have a soothing but smooth rhythm and delicate but timeless feelings, which are so simple and simple, moisturizing and silent. Almost every one of his works brings people to think about the good and evil of human nature, there is no absolute good or bad in his stories, in fact, the world is like this, isn't it?

Because his films are not dominated by too many complex technologies, they give the actors more room to play, so his movies often produce actresses, such as Hillary in "Million Dollar Baby". Swank and Morgan. Freeman; Angelina in "The Changeling". Julie, Meryl from "The Dream of the Covered Bridge". Streep, Sean from Mystic River. Pan and Tim. Robbins, Jean in "The Unforgivable." Hackman ......!

And this year, Eastwood was nominated for the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscar for Best Director again with "Mystic River", but a few days ago, Eastwood failed at the Golden Globe Awards, and this year's 76th Academy Awards. It's about to start, but Suda knows that Eastwood will still lose, and the big winner at this year's Oscars is destined to be Peter who will bring "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" to the stage. Jackson!

But you can never deny that Eastwood is a great director, because Suda knows that. Eastwood will win the Golden Globe Award and the Oscar for Best Director again next year with the movie "Million Dollar Baby" after 12 years!

Therefore, if he can, Suda naturally hopes that Eastwood can continue to be the director of "Million Dollar Baby", after all, if he changes someone, he may not be able to shoot the effect of Eastwood, and Suda doesn't know if it is a bad movie!

"I started the industry at 25 years and now. It's been more than 40 years, and I know very well what Hollywood is like, it's not as beautiful as you think, the reality inside is very cruel, if you insist on using Chinese actresses as the protagonists, then not only will you lose a lot of box office, but you will even be looked at by those old guys in the academy in terms of film awards. Not everyone can be as lucky as Ang Lee, and he has also struggled in Hollywood for a long time. to be recognized! ”

Su Da naturally understands what the results of "Million Dollar Baby" will be in the words of Chinese actors, for example, the North American box office of "Million Dollar Baby" in the previous life exceeded 100 million US dollars, and the total global box office exceeded 200 million, but if the heroine was replaced by a Chinese actor. So although it may have good results in China, it is definitely a drag in Europe and the United States, and it may even be possible that the global total box office may not be able to exceed 100 million, you must know that the global box office of "Million Dollar Baby" in the previous life has this result, which is inseparable from its winning the 77th Oscar Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and other awards.

But. Is Suda really short of money now?

No, although Su Da doesn't mind a lot of money now, he really doesn't lack money, not to mention cooperating with Xu Bo to open a theater and preparing to set up a theater chain, that is, with Li Yunxin's Happy Video Network, which has recently landed in various developed countries in Asia according to the plan, and venture capital has come to the door, wanting to buy 20% of the shares with 100 million US dollars, but Su Da and Li Yunxin refused.

Although Li Yunxin is not clear about the future value of Happy Video Network, but Li Jianxi, an old fox, how could he give up a chicken that lays golden eggs, as for Suda, it is estimated that no one understands the value of video websites better than him, not to mention 100 million, it is 1 billion, Suda doesn't care, but even so, then Happy Video Network is worth 500 million US dollars in the eyes of venture capital, do you say Su Da will still be short of money?

Therefore, Suda frankly told Eastwood that he is not short of money, he just wants to train the actresses of his own company, and open up the company's popularity, as long as Eastwood accepts his request, Suda can completely let Eastwood deal with it, as long as he makes a movie, it is better to be able to win awards, box office wonders, you don't have to worry, you are not short of money!

Now, when he met a master who was not short of money, Eastwood swallowed it all back without having time to say the persuasion in his stomach, he really liked the movie "Million Dollar Baby", and he really didn't want to spoil others, and finally Eastwood said that he would think about it for a few days, but with the announcement of the Oscars, after he failed again, he finally agreed to Suda's request, but Eastwood also asked that everything in the crew should be dominated by him.

Su Da generously agreed to this small request, after all, whether the movie "Million Dollar Baby" could be as successful as the previous life, Su Da really didn't know, so it was better to let Eastwood handle it, and in terms of who the role was for, Su Da had considered Zhao Wei, Li Xiaolu, and even Tang Wei, etc., but in the end, Su Da couldn't escape the difference between relatives and relatives, and selfishly left the role to Fan Binbin.

As for whether Fan Binbin can be competent, it depends on Eastwood's ability, anyway, the actor gave it to you, it's up to you to train like this, I won't interfere, if it can really be the same as in the previous life, let Fan Binbin have the honor to be nominated for the Oscar, even if he doesn't win the award, Suda is satisfied, if he doesn't even have a nomination, then Fan Binbin doesn't have that life, and Suda won't complain about anything!

The opportunity has been given to Fan Binbin, whether he can become a talent or not depends on Fan Binbin himself, no one is born an actor or actress, everyone is forced out! (To be continued......)
