Chapter 186: Who Will Be the Protagonist?

Stallone is a top superstar in the United States, with "Rocky" and "First Blood", he has stepped on the red carpet of Hollywood several times and held the little golden man in his hands. His success is the desire of all stars. If there is a chance to meet such a superstar, Zhou Shaoming is still very happy.

After hanging up Jeremy, he turned around and drove his Ferrari to Planet Hollywood.

The two most important characters in "Warriors" are his younger brother Tommy and his older brother Brydon.

Zhou Shaoming carefully studied the script, and read it more than a dozen times in his mind, and what finally moved him was not the brother who struggled to take responsibility, in order to save the family on the edge of the predicament, let the body of the thirties go to the ring again, and even fight hard, but the pathetic younger brother.

That's the tragic character who made him make up his mind.

Thinking back to those tearful scenes, Zhou Shaoming's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, and he sped up to meet his best brother and Jeremy Renner, who was also the most suitable for this role!

For no reason, Zhou Shaoming just wanted to give him this role, and Jeremy's extraordinary acting skills will let everyone see a Tommy who is more depressed and more heart-warming.

"Precise and unexaggerated acting ability, strong emotional expression ability, hoarse but gentle voice, often acting violent and emotionally capricious characters."

This is the later media's comment on Jeremy Renner, and the Oscar nomination also fully demonstrates his strength, Zhou Shaoming believes that the brother who has come through the same weal and woe with him will never let him down.

Tommy, a character who is pathetic and eager to forgive everything, is, judging by Jeremy's later comments, tailor-made for him!

When I arrived at the restaurant, it was still early, but Jeremy had already booked a private room.

"Hi Smith Chow, I'm here." Jeremy stood up and shouted exaggeratedly.

Zhou Shaoming smiled, ignored the eyes of others, and walked directly into the box.

"My great director, you don't come to me just for a drink." Before Zhou Shaoming sat down, Jeremy asked excitedly and anxiously, "Do you have a new work?" ”

"Uh-huh, Jeremy, you guessed it, want to participate?" Zhou Shaoming laughed.

"Tell me, Smith Chow, am I the star?" Jeremy asked excitedly: "My worth is very high now, so you have to arrange a good role for me, otherwise my agent will commit suicide by jumping off the building." ”

"Don't worry, Jeremy, what's our relationship?" Zhou Shaoming asked with a smile: "It's not a brother, it's better than a brother!" ”

"Okay, Smith Chow, I'll notify my agent now and ask him to turn down all my next film contracts, but fortunately, my last movie is almost over." Jeremy happily picked up the phone and was ready to dial.

"Jeremy, why don't you read the script?" Zhou Shaoming asked with a smile.

"Smith Zhou, you are a super director in my mind, you are the work itself." Jeremy shook his head decisively and dialed the agent's number.

Looking at Jeremy's slightly thin body, Zhou Shaoming was really worried. I'm afraid he's going to have to hire a personal trainer specifically for him, otherwise, he really won't be able to play the role of Tommy Riordon.

Tommy in the script is a super man who has been trained in martial arts since he was a child and participated in the Gulf War (the original version was the Iraq War).

Although Jeremy's acting skills are top-notch, his image is a little different. However, it can be completed through high-intensity exercise, and Zhou Shaoming is not too worried.

He was fully confident that Jeremy would not let him down.

That's right, find Dan Severn, the beastly martial arts expert in the cage. If he is allowed to be Jeremy's martial arts coach, he will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Hello, Dan Saiwen, I'm Smith Chow." When Jeremy called, Zhou Shaoming dialed Dan Saiwen's phone and wanted him to help shoot the movie, but Dan Saiwen did not hesitate at all and readily agreed.

"Who did you just call?" Jeremy asked.

Zhou Shaoming said with a smile: "I found a beast-like man to be your martial arts instructor." ”

"Wow, my God, what did you say? Is the movie you're going to make is boxing? Jeremy looked at his emaciated body and grew his mouth in surprise: "Smith Chow, you don't really want to abuse me, do you?" ”

"Donnie, this time, you're really going to have to make a sacrifice for art." Zhou Shaoming sighed, looking very embarrassed: "You should read the script first before agreeing to me." ”

"Smith Chow, can I go back?" Jeremy looked in pain.

"Tonight's drink money is mine." Zhou Shaoming shook his head with a smile: "Brother, please turn yourself into a fierce man like Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger as soon as possible!" ”――

"Hello, Dan Saiwen." In the villa, Zhou Shaoming politely shook hands with the beast.

"You're welcome, Smith Chow, it's a pleasure to be able to help you." Dan Severn nodded, but looked a little confused.

He's just a beast in the MMA arena, using his fists to defeat his opponents and earn commissions and achieve his dreams. Except for his good friend Bale, he rarely interacts with people in the entertainment industry, and he is not familiar with a famous director like Zhou Shaoming. Of course, this extravagant and gorgeous villa, the beautiful and charming Christina made him feel a little cramped.

After more than ten years of boxing in the MMA arena, Dan Saiwen is old. In the last game, if it weren't for his good friend Bale and daughter Elena cheering him on, he would have lost under the Iron Man's fist.

Although he won that match and fulfilled his dream, he was also more traumatized. For an MMA fighter, that's pretty much the end of his career. Although, he didn't want to admit it, however, he also knew that his fists were no longer very lethal, and he didn't know why Smith Zhou was looking for someone like himself.

"Mr. Dan Severn, please don't be so nervous." Zhou Shaoming saw the puzzled expression on the other party's face, and said with a smile: "I invited you over this time, not for boxing, but to invite you to be a coach." ”

"Coach?" Dan Severn looked up in surprise.

"Yes." Zhou Shaoming smiled, then turned around and shouted, "Jeremy, my little friend, you can come out." ”

Before he could finish speaking, Jeremy Renner walked out of the other room. He smiled and shook Dan Saywin's hand, then sat down on the couch.

Jeremy is now a hot star in Hollywood, and Dan Severn has naturally heard of his name. As a coach for such a big star, he inevitably has some apprehension in his heart.

"Jeremy Renner." Zhou Shaoming knew that the two of them must not be familiar with each other, so he introduced: "He is the leading actor in my new work." In order to make him more relevant to the character in the script, he needs to be trained in physical fitness and fighting skills. Mr. Dan Severn, I hope you can help me. ”

Dan Saiwen only now understood Zhou Shaoming's purpose for finding himself, he glanced at Jeremy, who was big in front of him, but still a little thin compared to MMA players, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

"Hi Dan Saiwen, I'm Jeremy Renner. I want to have the body of Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, please make my dream come true. Jeremy waved his hand a little mischievously and shouted, following Zhou Shaoming and Little Robert for too long, Jeremy, who was originally a little calm, slowly became a little childish from time to time.

His friends changed him and made him more outgoing and happy in life.

"Smith Chow, why him?" Dan Severn asked very honestly.

"Can it be molded?" Zhou Shaoming did not answer the rhetorical question.

"I'm afraid I'll have to tear all his bones back together and put them back together." Dan Saiwen thought for a moment before answering.

"Oh my God, Dan Saiwen, are you kidding, although I used to be very strong and muscular, but I have deliberately slimmed down for the sake of movies in the past few years, I should be able to become a muscular man!" Jeremy puffed up his abdominal muscles vigorously: "Look, there are still six pieces!" ”

"Well, I think Dan Saiwen's tone just now was too polite." Zhou Shaoming looked at Jeremy's funny performance and laughed: "Besides, I can't see the six pieces you have now, at most, well, there are only four pieces at most!" ”

It's true that Jeremy exercises a lot, and although he's still a little thin, his muscles are good.

This is also related to the fact that American stars pay attention to keeping in shape, otherwise Jeremy would not have accepted the role of the protagonist of blockbusters like "Bomb Disposal Unit" or "Spy".

Sacrificing for the sake of art, Jeremy Renner finally had to accept Zhou Shaoming's suggestion and began to follow Dan Saiwen to start physical training.

Zhou Shaoming knows that Jeremy is very serious and dedicated in nature. With a great coach like Danish, Downey is bound to change dramatically. The two of them will not let themselves down, and they will definitely be able to give themselves a satisfactory result.

The protagonist of "Warrior" has been determined, which makes Zhou Shaoming feel a lot more at ease. But another important actor, Brydon still has no shadow of him.

In order to make the film attract more eyeballs and get rid of the fate of failure in the original time and space, this time, Zhou Shaoming changed the norm and decided to use the star strategy.

"My male protagonist Brydon, where are you?" Zhou Shaoming asked in his heart, and then began to read the script again.

Jon has been busy with Zhou Shaoming's search for a leading actor these days, and the new generation of Hollywood action superstars have all got the script, but it is strange that they all have film appointments, or there are such and such unshirkable things, and there is no time to star in "Warriors".

Scratching his head very depressedly, Zhou Shaoming had no choice, he could only change his mind, before waiting for the action superstar, he also began to interview new actors, he couldn't wait any longer, once "Warrior" was confirmed, the director system asked for it to be released within the year, and it has been dragging on like this, I don't know if the year of the monkey can get the protagonist done.
