Jack. After a little consideration, Harlan Hill agreed to act, and Shao Shuaijun also generously gave a salary of $5 million, explaining the approximate start time, and Shao Shuaijun and Mitchell began to meet with follow-up actors.

Phantom Mel is the heroine of "Inception", but the role is not very heavy, and Shao Shuaijun believes that this role is more of a vase. Therefore, he set his sights on the "muse", debuted with a bad movie, and in the past two years, a new generation of sexy goddess Scarlett, who has risen with "Escape from Clone Island", "Deadly Magic" and "The End of the Race". Johnson.

The goddess's private life is said to be quite debauched, what ladder shocks what fruit photos and so on, but there is no hindrance to her development prospects, before Shao Shuaijun was reborn, it is said that her salary in "Avengers 2" has reached 13 million pounds, about 130 million yuan, becoming the queen of Hollywood salary.

Now Scarlett's salary is only $3 million, which can be described as cheap and good. After all, the most important thing in Hollywood is beauty, and the salary of actresses has always been low. When the script and salary were ready, Scarlett did not refuse, and readily agreed to star in "Inception".

And the dream builder Aredani in the Dream Six of the Inception Six, Shao Shuaijun's eyes are locked on the original actor Allen. Peggy, now Allen. Peggy is just a newcomer, and although last year's "Hard Candy" earned her praise from Hollywood, she was only known as a rising star of acting.

However, Shao Shuaijun remembered that in February this year, Allen had just finished filming "Juno", and once it was released at the end of the year, it would definitely be popular all over the world. "Inception" is very likely to be released at the end of the Christmas schedule. Just took advantage of the momentum of "Juno" to make "Inception" more popular.

The interview with Allen went very smoothly, the salary was only 800,000 US dollars, and the production fee of more than 100 million yuan for "Inception" made Allen and her agent have no resistance at all. Although Shao Shuaijun pounced on a movie, his "Source Code" and "Painted Skin" are still influential.

Now that "Inception" is back to the sci-fi theme, there are still many people who have watched "Source Code" who are looking forward to it.

Within two days, the other members of the Six of Inception were also in place.

The sentinel Arthur invited the new generation of acting star Joseph. Gordon. Levitt, this gentleman starred in the most famous movie. It was "500 Days with Shamo" two years later. Eames the Pretender. It's Tom who came in. Hiddleston, a star who appears a lot, but rarely plays the leading role. Pharmacist Joseph, please come. Not famous. But the acting is very good.

So. Of the eight main characters, seven have been taken care of, and now only the role of tycoon remains.

In Inception, the plot seems complicated. In fact, it is very simple to find all kinds of clues gathered together. After Shao Shuaijun's modification and polishing, the plot is as follows.

Dom the Dream Roception. Cobb (Leonardo. played by DiCaprio), with his assistant sentinel Arthur (Joseph. Gordon. Played by Levitt), who went to the magic capital of China to steal the trade secrets of the tycoon Golden Dragon, failed, but was made by the Golden Dragon on the condition of freedom, and let him work hard to deal with the opponent of the Golden Dragon.

This mission is Inception, which is the foundation in Chinese and the English name of "Inception", referring to the son of the opposite of the golden dragon, that is, the target task Fisher (Jack. Gyllen Hill) planted the idea of disbanding the company in his head.

In order to complete the mission, Cobb began to recruit troops. Because of his dead wife, Mel, who often appears in his dreams to mischievous and becomes a phantom of dreams (Scarlett. Johnson), Cobb chooses the new dream builder Aredani (Alan. Peggy). At the same time, the pretender Eames (Tom. Hiddleston), who can transform into anyone in his dreams. and the pharmacist Joseph (Dilip. Law), who is responsible for registering a drug that helps stabilize sleep.

Originally, the five of them acted alone, but it turned out that the golden dragon had to personally supervise them to complete the task, so they became the Dream Six Six. After a series of fierce battles in the mind of the target Fisher, they finally reached the depths of their subconscious and planted the order to dissolve the company. However, due to the troubles of Phantom Mel, something goes wrong, and the golden dragon is trapped in the Lost Domain of dreams.

Cobb needs to save him in order to complete the mission, and he finds the golden dragon, saves him, and eventually returns to the real world. Of course, at the end of the movie, there will be an open-ended ending, maybe Cobb's mission failure will be lost forever, or maybe he will return to reality.

In the original version, the tycoon is the Japanese Ken Watanabe, that is, the male protagonist of "Memoirs of a Geisha" with Zhang Ziyi. However, Shao Shuaijun was disgusted with the Japanese, so he set the tycoon as a Chinese and named the rather domineering Golden Dragon. Shao Shuaijun already has this candidate, but he needs the other party's consent.

After all, the golden dragon is not the protagonist, he will not pay too high a salary, neither the protagonist nor a high salary, I don't know if the other party agrees or not. With a feeling of anticipation, Shao Shuaijun dialed the other party's agent's mobile phone, made an appointment about the performance, and determined where to meet.

Subsequently, Shao Shuaijun took Wang Wei and flew to Hong Kong to meet each other.

Tall and handsome, with a good demeanor, it is the little brother who fascinated thousands of girls back then, and the brother Zhou Runfa.

"Hello, Brother Fa."

"Hello Director Shao."

After ordering coffee, Shao Shuaijun glanced at Fa Ge slightly, he was still the big back, but it was difficult to hide some subtle wrinkles on his face. At that time, Fa Ge, who was already unstoppable in Asia, became popular in the United States with the help of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", becoming another Chinese who successfully broke into Hollywood, and several movies competed for him to star.

It's just that after the failure of "Bulletproof Warrior Monk", Fa Ge's fame was slightly damaged, and "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World" released this summer, although Fa Ge starred, unfortunately he was not brilliant, and his bald and scarred face was criticized by many people. The current Fa Ge has returned to China from Hollywood, and he has just resigned from acting in "Red Cliff" and is recuperating at home.

"Brother Fa, this is the script, I grew up watching your movies, and I very much hope that you can participate in "Inception"." Zhou Runfa is more than one round older than Shao Shuaijun, and it can really be said that he grew up watching his movies, especially Brother Xiao Ma in "The True Color of Heroes", there is almost no man who is not fascinated by it, and fantasizes that it is himself.

"Director Shao, can I read the script first."

"Of course."

After reading the script and thinking about it for a while, Zhou Yunfa said: "The script is very exciting, I don't refuse to act, but I need to talk to my agent about the specifics." ”

"This is inevitable, but I also hope that Fa Ge can understand that "Inception" takes up too much of my money, and I can't afford to pay a high salary." Shao Shuaijun said frankly. Even if Zhou Yunfa is not successful in Hollywood, his salary is still at the level of tens of millions, and in "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World", his salary is about 8 million US dollars.

Later, even if he returned to China to shoot "The City Full of Golden Armor", it was 7 million US dollars, and Shao Shuaijun was unwilling to pay such a high fee. The cost of Inception is not low, and although he can raise more funds, he can't ask for them from the company indefinitely. In case the asking price of a week of leap is too high, I can only give up regretfully.

Happily, in the end, Zhou Yunfa only needed $4 million to join "Inception", and all the main actors were gathered. (To be continued......)
