Chapter 367: Jamie. Fox - Reject Zhou Shaoming!
In Wu Jing's view, Zhou Shaoming is younger than he imagined, such a young man actually broke into the world in the United States alone and became a world-renowned director, and his heartfelt admiration came to his heart.
Only when you see it with your own eyes can you experience the shock, and after tasting Zhou Shaoming's movie, you can see this young and handsome young man, that contrast, that contrast, it is amazing.
At this time, Zhou Shaoming silently beckoned the system to scan Wu Jing's data.

Comprehensive evaluation: The potential is good, the acting skills are so-so, and if you train well, you can have a good future.
Overall, Wu Jing's data are not bad, although none of them are particularly outstanding, but none of them are particularly weak, which fully meets Zhou Shaoming's requirements.
"Director Zhou!" Seeing Zhou Shaoming looking straight at him, Wu Jing reminded him with some embarrassment.
"Excuse me!" Zhou Shaoming smiled, and then said directly: "In the future, I will call you Wu Jing, you can call me Zhou Shaoming or the director." β
"Okay, Director!"
"Well, you just got off the plane, right? Let's go, I'll invite you to drink before I talk about anything else! Zhou Shaoming said with a smile. even directly hugged Wu Jing's shoulders.
"Huh?" Wu Jing's heart turned upside down. Even a little nervous. After all, Zhou Shaoming and him are not at the same level at all!
"Wu Jing, you don't have other ideas, I'll be a director, although I'm a little famous. But in the end, he is a young man, and he is still Chinese, and in the United States, I have a nickname called the tyrant on the set. Everyone who makes movies with me knows that I was very strict and even a little unkind when I made films, but off the set, I was just a kid, and you just treated me as a friend! Zhou Shaoming explained with a smile, and at the same time vaguely conveyed that he was a tyrant on the set, so that when he made movies in the future, he would be strict. Wu Jing will also understand and will not be angry because of this.
"Yes. Okay, director, I got it! Wu Jing's heart is still a little moved, after all, Zhou Shaoming is a big man, but it is not easy to put down his body, it is not unreasonable to succeed, at least just a few minutes, Wu Jing has already felt the personality charm of Zhou Shaoming.
Zhou Shaoming and Wu Jing walked into a restaurant opposite Supernova while talking, while Luo Ken and the others followed not far behind Zhou Shaoming to protect Zhou Shaoming.
"Director, I'm curious, there are so many good actors in Huaxia, why do you single me? And Cheng Long, Zhou Yanfa and others are much more qualified than me! Sitting in the seat near the window, Wu Jing finally asked the curiosity in his heart.
"Because of their potential, Cheng Long and they are already superstars, they already have their own style, and it is difficult to shape them, but you are different. I hope that one day you Wu Jing can become the pride of the Chinese and be able to become the second Bruce Lee! Zhou Shaoming did not hesitate at all, and said directly, taking a glass of wine and pointing out the expectations in his heart.
Suddenly, Wu Jing's body was stunned, his whole body was boiling, and he almost couldn't control his emotions with just a few words.
Become a second Bruce Lee?
If it were someone other than Zhou Shaoming, Wu Jing would definitely poke his nose, but the person in front of him was Zhou Shaoming, a world-class director Smith Zhou.
He is qualified to say this, and Wu Jing believes that as long as Zhou Shaoming wants to, not to mention whether he can become Bruce Lee's second, at least there is no problem in Hollywood.
"Thank you! I will definitely live up to the director's expectations. "Extra thanks, Wu Jing can't say, there is no way to repay the kindness of the acquaintance, etc., because at this time he can only look up to Zhou Shaoming, he can't come up with anything to repay Zhou Shaoming, only to film well and live up to it.
"You know, I've made a lot of films and achieved a lot of things before, but this time I wanted a breakthrough, not a breakthrough in grades, but a breakthrough in the film genre.
And when I was a child, I also grew up watching a lot of Hong Kong movies, Bruce Lee's "Raptors Crossing the River", Li Lianjie's "Shaolin Temple", Cheng Long's "Drunken Fist", Zhou Yanfa's "The True Color of Heroes", for Chinese kung fu films, as long as you are a Chinese person, you will have pride and love from the heart, and I Zhou Shaoming is the same.
I have been kidnapped once, there are kidnappers, there are police, there are thrills, there are thrills. There have been fights with gangsters, injuries, and gains
In addition, I already have some appeal now, so, this time, I decided to shoot a police film with Chinese elements, and the selling point in the middle is Chinese kung fu and Brazilian fighting.
And I want you to be able to play one of those roles. β
Zhou Shaoming said.
But Wu Jing listened carefully, indeed, as long as a Chinese person has a kung fu dream in his heart, from "Kung Fu Boy Breaking Love" to "Tai Chi Grandmaster" to "Drunken Monkey", which one is not a kung fu movie? The dream of kung fu has never been broken in the hearts of Chinese people, and it is even more supreme in Wu Jing's heart.
"It's called 'The Fuse.' It's a confrontation between the police and the gangsters. In the end, it is natural that justice prevails over evil, and the first protagonist, I am ready to let Jason Statham star, Wu Jing, you are the second starring role, and you are also the most powerful villain in the film, and there are many fighting scenes in the movie. β
"What?" Wu Jing was a little shocked, he thought that Zhou Shaoming would start his Hollywood acting career from a soy sauce role, who would have thought that he would play the second leading role for the first time, which was indeed greatly unexpected by him.
"Second starring, villain!" Zhou Shaoming repeated.
"Because you're a newcomer, I can't let you directly become the first starring role, in this case, the audience won't agree, and the rest of the supernova won't agree." Zhou Shaoming explained.
"Director, I didn't mean that, I was shocked director how you let me play such an important role." Thinking that Zhou Shaoming had misunderstood, Wu Jing hurriedly said.
"In a movie, there are two characters who have the most roles, one is the protagonist of justice, and the other is the opposite boss who will not die until the end. Wu Jing, if you want to gain a foothold in Hollywood, you have to be an instant hit, and if you want to be a hit, you have to play at least a pivotal role. β
"Director, thank you for your trust in me, it's just, the villain, am I really suitable?" Wu Jing was a little confused, after all, he had basically never played a villain role before.
Last time and space, Wu Jing played the opposite role in the two movies "Slaying the Wolf" and "The True Colors of Men", and achieved good results, which can be regarded as breaking through the shackles and reaching the peak of his acting career.
Therefore, Zhou Shaoming is not worried about Wu Jing's negative character image.
"Trust my vision, and believe in yourself!" Zhou Shaoming didn't explain, just said such a sentence, and then, Zhou Shaoming and Wu Jing talked about some other things, all about Huaxia.
In the end, Zhou Shaoming called Jon and asked him to settle Wu Jing while he went home.
The next day, Benjamin called, and Jacques Phoenix had been dealt with, and Zhou Shaoming was very satisfied, but he didn't see him.
Jacquin Phoenix is a genius, there's no doubt about it.
The stunning image of the king in "Gladiator" is still unforgettable, and even Jackie Quin's role as the Roman Emperor in "Gladiator" won him the favor of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts for himself, and was nominated for the 2001 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, although he failed to win, but it is already a very important affirmation.
After "Tian Zhao", Jie Kun also played very well, however, after "Tian Zhao", this young film genius seems to have fallen into a trough.
In 2003, that is, this year, two Jackie Kun's films will be released, "All for Love" and "The Legend of the Bear", but the ending of these two films is very clear Zhou Shaoming, and the results are not very good.
Since then, Jie Kun has been even more depressed, and there have been no good works, in Zhou Shaoming's opinion, this is a frustrated movie genius.
Such a genius, Zhou Shaoming is unwilling to miss it.
Of course, although he is a movie genius, Zhou Shaoming did not go to see him, because he had some other things to do.
Tesla β Ben is currently working on the sci-fi blockbuster "The Amazing Hulk," which will also be the first superhero series to be produced after Supernova's acquisition of Marvel.
Therefore, for "The Amazing Hulk", Zhou Shaoming is also very attentive, and he will communicate with Ben when he has time, so that Ben can play better as much as possible.
However, Zhou Shaoming, who was discussing with Ben, received a call from Benjamin again.
"Director, Jamie. Fox refused! Benjamin's first words.
"Refused?"
"Yes, I refused, I refused without any leeway!"
"Why!"
"He said he didn't have time because of the film "Killing with a Knife." Benjamin replied truthfully.
"So that's the case, there is no schedule!" Zhou Shaoming nodded, although he was a little depressed, but for Jamie. Fox, a black actor, is a little admired.
You must know that at this time, Smith Zhou was already one of the most famous directors in the United States, and he had become popular with many stars before.
Once you can cooperate with Zhou Shaoming, it means that you are likely to be an instant hit, but Jamie. Fox did not waver in this situation, and still filmed "Killing with a Knife", which is an attitude, an attitude of responsibility for the movie.
How can such a person not succeed?
"Law-abiding Komeito", "Top Secret Flight", "Miami Flight", "Rio Adventure"
Think about Jamie after that. The classic that Fox brought to the world, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help laughing: "Benjamin, tell Jamie. Fox, say that I Smith Chow admires him, especially his attitude towards movies, and looks forward to having the opportunity to work with him in the future! (To be continued.) )
