Hearing Li Lin's words, Chow Yun-fat and Jet Li's faces were a little ugly, they had already put down their faces and begged Li Lin, Li Lin was still saying prevarication, and everyone would feel that they were humiliated.

When Li Lin saw their appearance, he didn't understand that they had misunderstood his words, "Although I am an investor, I basically hand over the rights of the crew to Universal Films." ”

"You also know that domestic special effects are not enough to make a movie with a big investment like "World of Warcraft", and Hollywood, if there is no one to lead the way, is basically going to be knocked out."

In Li Lin's previous life, people in China asked Hollywood special effects companies to do special effects, but they were basically blackmailed, because people saw that you were Chinese, so they gave you some terms that made you feel foggy when you listened to them.

As soon as you hear it, this is amazing, good, do; That's great, good, and I do it, and the result is the same as other Hollywood studios, but it costs several times the money.

They simply blackmail the domestic film company as a wronged leader.

"In addition, if "World of Warcraft" wants to make a box office, the help of Hollywood giants is indispensable."

"So at the beginning, I approached Universal Films, and I worked with them, and they were responsible for the production and post-distribution."

"Later, "World of Warcraft" became popular, and Universal Pictures began to invest in "Diablo" on a large scale, but I have a cross-shareholding relationship with Universal Pictures, and they should consider my opinion."

Li Lin looked at Jet Li and Chow Yun-fat, showed a look of disappointment, and immediately said.

Li Lin is also a member of the board of directors of Universal Pictures.

In fact, although Universal Movies belongs to Coca-Cola on the surface, Coca-Cola only has a 70% stake. The rest of the shares are in the hands of Vivendi, Li Lin and some investors.

The specific decision is controlled by Coca-Cola, but in the subtleties, Li Lin still has some influence.

"Li Lin." Cheng Long, who was silent just now, spoke again. "Whether it works or not, we have accepted your love." The other two suddenly became a little complicated when they heard this.

Cheng Long is different from the two of them, the success of Rush Hour basically announced that Cheng Long has a firm foothold in Hollywood, and there are rumors that a sequel to Rush Hour is about to be released.

Once it comes out, once it is successful, Cheng Long's salary will be pushed higher.

In fact, Cheng Long's salary of 17 million. I've only gotten it in rush hour.

Not only Cheng Long, but many others can only get a high salary in the series.

For example, Wolverine Logan's actor Hugh. Jackman.

He was originally just a first-line actor in Hollywood, and he became an instant hit with the role of Wolverine. became a top Hollywood star in one fell swoop, and his salary once reached $25 million, surpassing the Hollywood superstars in the 20 million club.

But did he really make it to the top?

Of course not.

Actually Hugh. Jackman can only get 25 million when he plays the series "X-Men" and "Wolverine", and his salary for other movies is only about 16 million.

The same goes for Chris. Evans.

The Captain America can get a high salary in the "Captain America" series. But if you want to star in other movies, the salary will be much lower.

This is a phenomenon of unstable foundations.

It is difficult for an actor who has become popular with a certain series to have enough box office appeal. At least until they prove that they can work with different genres, the studios can't be too high.

Robert Jr. That's what Donnie is.

Although he got a high salary with "Iron Man" and "Sherlock Holmes", especially in "The Avengers", the legend says that Robert Jr. Downey's salary once reached $50 million, but when he starred in other movies, Robert Jr. Downey's salary is still only $20 million, and it is still an undivided salary, which is a big difference.

The $20 million salary was not shared. At most, they are associate members of the 20 million club.

"In the future, I hope you can bring more people with you, only everyone is together. can expand in Hollywood. Chow Yun-fat sighed.

How brilliant he is in China, he is chased by media reporters everywhere he goes, and he is annoyed, but when he arrives in Hollywood, he suddenly becomes a superstar and falls into a first-line star, especially in Hollywood, where white people are everywhere and there are many stars, he suddenly disappeared from everyone.

If it was just annihilation to the crowd, he wouldn't be worried.

Because he believes that with his acting skills, he can become popular again even if he is a trick, but the reality is difficult.

Why is it difficult? It's one thing that Hollywood audiences aren't used to being yellow, and it's another thing that Hollywood screenwriters won't write scripts for them.

Coupled with the fact that the increasingly popular superheroes are basically insulated from the yellow race, it can be said that the right time and place are not on the side of Chinese stars.

To fight a piece of the world out of this, the difficulty can be imagined.

"I hope you understand what follows." Jet Li struggled for a moment and said: "In Hollywood, you may encounter some unfair treatment, but you have to endure it." ”

Li Lin listened and did not speak.

He knew that this was Jet Li reminding himself, and this was Jet Li's reward for him.

It is true that before he came, he had done his homework and had the help of his agent Steele, but no matter what kind of homework or Steele's help, it was not as profound as Jet Li's senior's direct guidance.

Because it is very simple, in a certain way, he walks the same path as the path taken by these predecessors.

They are all Chinese, and they are all impacting the American market, but Jet Li is impacting Hollywood, and he is impacting the American record market.

And sooner or later he will storm Hollywood.

"You may ask, why put up with it? Why don't other artists get this kind of treatment, but I have to suffer this kind of treatment? ”

"Because it's simple, we're small."

"Other artists. Whether white or black, when they encounter injustice, a large number of compatriots come to help show their support. The Actors' Guild also quickly intervened, and those who dared to play injustice on their heads ended up miserable. ”

"But we're different."

"First of all, we belong to the Foreign Artists Club."

Jet Li said, "Although the Foreign Artists Club is an organization under the Actors' Union, it is a standard step-parent birth, and Hollywood companies basically do not sell the face of the Foreign Artists Club." ”

The Foreign Artist Club is powerful? It's a big fart, the highest artist in the foreign artist club is Cheng Long's level. Not even a top artist.

Who would dare to speak up when foreign artist clubs are being harassed? Who will speak? If no one speaks, how can the foreign artist club show its energy?

As for the actors' union, hehe. You belong to the Foreign Artists Club, and you are not an Actors Guild, so why should people care about you.

You may have to ask, isn't the Foreign Artists Club under the umbrella of the Actors' Guild? Why doesn't the Screen Actors Guild do anything? Very simple. Although the Foreign Artists Club is affiliated with the Actors' Union. However, the membership fees paid by the artists are handled by the senior management who manages the foreign artist club.

They had to scrape a layer of fees before giving it to the actors' union.

Originally, there were few people in the Foreign Artists Club, and they were swept away by the management of the Foreign Artists Club, and the rest of the actors' unions were not eye-catching at all.

If you don't have money, why should people care about you.

When you encounter difficulties, the actors' union has asked if you want to consume contacts? You have suffered unfair treatment, and the actors' union will pay to help you fight the lawsuit.

These are all asking for money, and if you don't pay them money, why should they care about you?

As for joining the Screen Actors Guild directly, just kidding. Do you think the management of the foreign artist club is a vegetarian? He doesn't care about things, but when it comes to his interests, can he still bear it?

Then it will be another good fight.

Therefore, the actors' union has always turned a blind eye to the application of foreign artists.

Of course. If you're a Hollywood superstar, that's a different story.

As a superstar, they beg you to join the Screen Actors Guild, but at that point, who would dare to make things difficult for you without opening their eyes?

The United States is a money society, money is omnipotent, you can bring benefits to him, he will worship you as God.

Like immigration.

Many people say that immigration is difficult, green card is difficult, is it really difficult? Of course, it is difficult, all kinds of applications, all kinds of academic requirements, stuck batch after batch of people who defected to the United States.

But for the wealthy, immigration is not a problem.

Not only is it not a problem, but the immigration bureau is still begging you to immigrate.

Do you think that the immigration officers are all straight faces? It doesn't matter, as long as you are rich and you are rich, they provide you with a smile service; Do you find the immigration application too cumbersome? It doesn't matter, as long as you have money and you are rich, they will directly help you apply and guarantee to come down within a day.

Why? Want money? Of course not.

As for why, it's very simple, your joining is in the interest of the United States of America, as long as you become a U.S. citizen, congratulations, the first thing that comes to your door is the tax office, and they will ask you to pay taxes, and they pay taxes globally.

What, do you want to renounce your U.S. citizenship? Okay, take half of your assets to pay exit tax, as long as you give, you are a free man.

As for whether you earned this money before you became an American citizen, they don't care, and they still want to go down when they get on the thief ship?

I don't know how many rich people in China were directly approached by amiable immigration officials, and then they were fooled into becoming American citizens to contribute to U.S. taxes.

"If you are discriminated against, if you break out, of course, you can be temporary, but what follows is the joint banning of some people."

"Here, we have suffered a loss, we have to endure it, and if we don't bear it, we can't survive at all."

"I hope you remember."

"If you have been sinned, don't say it, when you succeed in the future, you can take revenge and go back, and no one will say that you are narrow-minded."

"Sharon. You did a good job with the Stone incident, but at that time you hadn't set foot in Hollywood, so even if they wanted to retaliate, they couldn't find a chance, and now that you've come to Hollywood, you have to be careful. (To be continued......)
