Chapter 253: A Trip to New York

With the help of a powerful "cheat", Yang Lin can always see the future and take advantage of it first. Tom Cruise's "Top Gun" will be released soon, and his fame has soared, and Yang Lin got Tom Cruise over to shoot "Ghost Love" before that. Needless to say, as long as you wait for Tom Cruise's "Top Gun" to be released, it is equivalent to promoting "Ghost Love". With Tom Cruise's skyrocketing popularity, "Ghost Love" can't be popular.

The same goes for Bruce Willis. Now is the time when this guy is at his lowest ebb, and a "Die Hard" is enough to make him famous and become one of Hollywood's first-line action stars, and his value will increase tenfold.

Yang Lin couldn't help but touch his chin that was a little fluffy just now, and wondered where is that muscular man from Schwarzenegger now? Think about Schwarzenegger's rise to prominence, that guy first ran around the world to participate in beauty pageants, filmed the first episode of "The Terminator" last year, and his fame was quite high.

After the filming of "Die Hard", is it another "True Lies"? This is his favorite action movie in his previous life. But let's talk about it later, "Die Hard" came out more than two years in advance, and there must be difficulties in both the scene and the production, and the filming can't be finished for a while, so let's take our time.

Paul is not a professional agent, but also a lawyer, which is his first career, and the agent is just a part-time job. A small actor like Bruce Willis can't afford to hire a big-name agent, except for a good seedling, of course. But Bruce Willis is clearly not. Paul and Bruce Willis were once college classmates, and although they majored in different majors, they always had a good relationship. Bruce Willis's star journey has been bumpy. Paul volunteered to be Bruce Willis's agent, which was a favor for his old classmates, and his salary was almost none.

But Paul had heard Kidd's name a long time ago. This doctor in the entertainment industry once caused a big sensation because of his background. A young man from a grassroots background with a difficult life but excellent character and learning is actually the illegitimate son of that influential big family in the American entertainment industry, this is simply a modern version of a fairy tale.

He hadn't heard of that young Yang Lin. But since this Kidd can leave the family's cultivation and devote himself to this young man's film company, he can guess that this young man must be very difficult. Even if this young man himself will not have any ability and future in the movie. But it should almost be a young master of a big family or a big business.

Paul made up his mind that even if the script wasn't good, he must maintain a good relationship with Kidd, and the help he could get in the future would be of great use to Bruce Willis.

His mind was spinning fast. But I couldn't think of anything. Kidd was excluded by that family and couldn't stay, so he had to take refuge in Yang Lin as a last resort.

What he didn't expect was that before his thoughts were finished, Bruce Willis had already expressed his opinion neatly: "I took this movie." ”

Paul was taken aback, and said in his heart, this short-tempered, stubborn, and naughty big guy actually thought of going with him? Paul was relieved and thought it was a reflection of Bruce Willis's emotional intelligence. This emotional intelligence is sometimes far more important than acting. As a good friend of his, Paul is happy. But Bruce Willis's next word. He couldn't laugh.

"The salary is not an issue, I just want to ask when I can sign a contract." Bruce Willis spoke resolutely and loudly, and looked at Yang Lin with blazing eyes.

Yang Lin gave a thumbs up to Bruce Willis with a smile: "If you have vision, you can sign a contract at any time." After signing the contract, you will go to Hong Kong with me to prepare for filming. The scene of this drama is very large, and we will shoot it while we are ready, and it is expected that it will take at least half a year to complete the filming. Therefore, I suggest that you better arrange things on the American side first, and once the film starts, unless it is a particularly important and urgent matter, I will not allow you to leave the crew. ”

That's right, the filming location of this movie, Yang Lin moved him to Hong Kong. The plot of the story has also been changed to Hong Kong people. Bruce Willis plays police officer John McCarron, a Hong Kong police officer whose fiancΓ©e, Holly, who has been separated for half a year, comes to Hong Kong from New York to meet him and is invited to a Christmas party on the 30th floor of a building. However, a group of bandits came up with the idea of more than 600 million yuan of public bonds stored in the building's vault. They cordoned off the building and took the attendees of the gala hostage. McCarron escapes and fights the bandits alone.

In fact, Li Lianjie once filmed a Hong Kong movie "Die Hard", which borrowed the storyline of "Die Hard", and the response of the movie was quite good.

Moving the story of "Die Hard" from Los Angeles to Hong Kong is actually a trouble for Yang Lin himself. If everything goes according to the original script, the prospects of "Die Hard" will not deviate too much from history, and the results after its release will not be bad.

However, there are only a few Americans in all the actors, most of whom are Hong Kongers, and the taste of the movie will also be biased towards the oriental taste, and it is completely unknown whether it will be favored and sought after by American audiences.

But for Yang Lin, it is too simple to make a drama and get the affirmation of Hollywood. As long as your shooting level is not too bad, you can almost guarantee the results if you copy those classics on the big screen. It's really not challenging for a traverser.

The reason why this "Die Hard" was filmed like this is an experiment by Yang Lin. He wants to know how much American audiences are receptive to Oriental films, and what are the reasons for not accepting them. And what is the reason why Hong Kong films have never really entered the upper echelons of the Hollywood film hall and have been accepted by most audiences.

It can be said that "Die Hard" is both an attempt and a touchstone.

Paul listened to Bruce Willis and almost strangled him to death. This bastard boy, what is the salary is not a problem? Did you know that you're running out of money to pay your phone bill? Do you know that the hotel room price has not been settled for a long time?

Bruce Willis can play a big trick, but Paul as an agent can't. is Bruce Willis's big nanny, do you have to pay for it in the end? So he hurriedly said: "That Mr. Yang, about the salary"

Yang Lin took out a checkbook and pen from his arms. Said casually: "Let's make an offer." ”

"Uh-" Paul was stopped by Yang Lin's stance. What is the rhythm of this? Does that mean that as soon as I open my mouth, the check will be filled out immediately, and I don't intend to bargain at all? Paul was in a quandary, he didn't know what to do. I was afraid that Yang Lin would turn his face on the spot, saying that he was shameless and insatiable; If you want less, you are afraid that you will suffer a loss, and Bruce Willis's economic situation is very bad now.

Bruce Willis waved his hand in a big way. said chicly: "I'm just a little TV actor, half a million dollars." As he spoke, he glared at Paul, very dissatisfied with this guy's bidding. It's rare for someone to ask me to make a movie. The script is very appetizing to me, what are you still writing about?

Paul almost jumped up, and when Bruce Willis filmed "Moonlight Detective Agency," the total salary had reached half a million dollars. Now "Moonlight Detective Agency" is on the air. There is no doubt about it. Bruce Willis's worth has risen. How can you still use the salary from the filming of "Moonlight Detective Agency"?

Yang Lin smiled, admired Bruce Willis's atmosphere, and filled out a check for one million dollars and handed it over: "Here is a million dollars, the first cooperation, it's better not to be financially dirty." In the future, we will get acquainted with it, and it doesn't matter if the salary is more or less. ”

Bruce Willis smiled, happily accepted the check, and didn't even look at it: "I'll deal with the things around me first." Call you in three days. ”

On the other side, Paul, who was dancing with his eyebrows, had already taken out a contract for Yang Lin and Bruce Willis to sign.

There is a kind of contract in the American film industry. It's the kind of "one-size-fits-all" contract model. The basic terms are already printed on it, and they only need to be signed by both parties to take effect immediately, and Paul is a lawyer himself, so he even saves the link of hiring a lawyer. As long as the name of the film and the basic information of both parties are filled in on the treaty, it is the lowest level of contract, but all contracts under one million US dollars are this contract, which is simple and direct.

The protagonist of "Die Hard" was negotiated, and like that contract, it was simple and straightforward. After all, an actor of the level of Bruce Willis basically has no room for pickiness, and if someone gives you a chance, you have to seize it, regardless of whether it's a piece of grass or a rope.

After this village, I don't know if there is still this shop.

Now that I have arrived in New York, I naturally want to contact Michael Jackson, Yang Lin and Michael Jackson have been in Hong Kong for a while, and they have a very good relationship with each other.

Mike Jackson didn't have the shelf of a big star at all, and he was very happy to receive a call from Yang Lin, telling Yang Lin that he was rehearsing now, and arranged for a staff member to arrange Yang Lin and Kidd's food and lodging, find a good hotel, and "catch the wind and wash the dust" for Yang Lin at night. This guy actually said a Chinese idiom, which surprised Yang Lin.

The hotel arranged by Michael Jackson is certainly the best, otherwise how can it reflect the status of a superstar? So Yang Lin and Kidd stayed at the most luxurious New York hotel in New York.

As soon as it was dark, Mike Jackson arrived at the hotel surrounded by bodyguards. Gray trench coat, wide sunglasses, mysterious everywhere you go. No way, Mike Jackson is too famous now, paparazzi fans are everywhere, and if you don't pay attention to revealing your whereabouts, you will get into trouble. Everyone flocked to the city, signing in softly just by signing and not being able to do anything.

"Hey, Yang, it's nice to see you." Mike Jackson came up and gave Yang Lin a big hug.

Yang Lin also responded with a smile, hugged him, and patted Mike Jackson on the back.

After eating a luxurious Western meal in the Western restaurant of the New York Hotel, Michael Jackson took Yang Lin and Kidd to a bar not far from the New York Hotel, and everyone sat down to have a good chat.

The environment in the bar is very elegant, and the decoration is noble and luxurious.

Several bodyguards sat at a table not far away, with Michael Jackson and Young Lynkidd at a table. Yang Lin came to New York this time, and did not bring Du Qingshan and Li Kaijun, and gave the two of them a holiday.

"Has the recording of IHateMyselfForLovingYou been completed?" Yang Lin asked, interested in the reaction to this song after it was sung by Michael Jackson. After all, there is a difference of several years between the time before and after, and there is a certain difference in the appreciation of the audience and fans, and I don't know if it can be accepted. It can also reflect the performance of the upcoming "Ghost Love" and the upcoming "Die Hard" in this regard. After all, this song and the two movies are premature babies born by Yang Lin's "cheat", and they have some congenital shortcomings.

As soon as Yang Lin asked about the song "IHateMyselfForLovingYou", Mike Jackson immediately said, "Why don't you finish recording?" It was already on the market last week, and the response was very good, and it reached the first place in the TOP10 in the first week, and the record sales also went all the way. ”

When Michael Jackson said "TOP10", he was referring to the best-selling singles chart in the United States, a very professional chart. The "top 10" is, of course, the top 10.

Mike Jackson is happy, and Yang Lin is happier than him. It's not that I care about this song, but this is equivalent to proving that the market proves that the "premature baby" can fully adapt to the market. Then presumably the situation will be good after the release of "People and Ghosts", and finally let Yang Lin let go of a big stone in his heart, and he can "plagiarize" those classic works unscrupulously, without worrying about the weakness of "not adapting to the soil and water".

Of course, the "plagiarized" work should not be too advanced, and the time difference between the front and back should not be too long.

"Hi Michael, why are you there? What a coincidence. ”

A crisp and pleasant voice came, followed by a faint fragrant breeze, and a tall girl walked over and stood in front of several people.

Her eyebrows are a little thick and thick, and Shen's beautiful eyes are more and more deep and charming. The delicate pretty face line is slightly handsome, and with a straight nose bridge, it shows a strong personality.

Very casual T-shirt and jeans, the tall and plump figure is extremely hot, and the graceful undulating lines are full of wild charm.

This is a beautiful woman with an angelic face and a devilish body. (To be continued......)
