"I'll read this script now, do you have time to wait?" Xu Guanwu asked.

"That's nature." Stallone replied without the slightest hesitation. It was much better to be able to get an answer on the spot than to go back to the motel and suffer for a few more days.

Xu Guanwu immediately looked at it, "By the way, there is hot coffee over there, you can pour it yourself." ”

Stallone nodded, stood up, walked over to the coffee machine, and poured himself a cup of coffee.

Then he held the coffee in both hands, warming his cold palms while looking around curiously.

The studio only has two offices, and even during office hours, there is only one staff member.

Moreover, the staff member is still of yellow race and does not speak English fluently. What surprised Sylvester Stallone even more was that this staff member had to use a dictionary to read the script.

Stallone vaguely felt that his choice to join this film company was a complete mistake.

"They don't have the money to invest in their own films, and do Orientals know how to make movies?" The more Stallone observed, the more uncertain he became, and he wanted to snatch the script from Xu Guanwu's hand, and then strode out and never looked back.

But I thought that I had traveled to hundreds of Hollywood film companies twice in a row, and none of them were willing to let me play the leading role; I thought that I only had a few dollars left in my hand at the moment, and I didn't even know where dinner was; Looking at the cold wind howling outside, it is likely to rain again.

"Stay here for a while, drink two more cups of coffee, and you can save that meal in the evening." Stallone thought about it, and finally decided to stay here a little longer.

With the help of an English-Chinese dictionary, Xu Guanwu finally finished reading the script brought by Stallone.

The script that Stallone brought was only a part of the complete script, and many dialogues and storylines were deleted, leaving only a dry skeleton.

But Xu Guanwu still made up the whole storyline through brain supplementation, and it was indeed the box office dark horse "Rocky".

"Mr. Stallone, this script is well written, and I agree to invest in principle." Xu Guanwu thought for a while.

He didn't dare to say it to death, after all, this company was not his hall, and many times he had to refer to the opinions of Zhou Zhengyang and Cui Yuye.

Of course, if these two people refuse, Xu Guanwu will immediately take it over and invest it himself.

“xiexie。” Hearing Xu Guanwu's words, Stallone was not particularly surprised.

Because many film companies have decided to buy his script before, but they have rejected all of his requests to play the leading role. This is the reason why Stallone has not found investors for a long time.

"Mr. Stallone doesn't seem to be very happy, is there any other condition?" Xu Guanwu asked pretending not to know.

"Yes, sir! I have one condition that I must agree to, otherwise I will not sell this script. Stallone said firmly.

"Conditionally, okay. Tell me about it. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"I want to play the leading role in this play, that's my only condition." Stallone said in a resolute tone.

"This ......" Xu Guanwu pretended to hesitate for a moment, "Okay, I agree in principle." ”

Stallone then showed a happy expression, "Mr. Xiexie." ”

"Then you leave your contact information, and we will notify you as soon as we make a decision." Xu Guanwu said.

……

In the evening, Zhou Zhengyang and Cui Yuye, who had gone out to contact business, rushed back, and looking at their frustrated expressions, they knew that things were not going well.

"I talked about a project today, I think it's very good, you guys come and see." Xu Guanwu said and handed over the script of "Rocky".

Cui Yuye and Zhou Zhengyang were surprised to read the script, but they didn't show much interest.

"Mr. Xu, this is just a very general script, the words and sentences are very rough, in my opinion, it should not be the work of a professional screenwriter." Cui Yuye threw "Rocky" on the table and said disdainfully.

"It's not impossible if this movie is really going to be filmed, but if you want to be a box office hit, we have to choose a more well-known actor." Zhou Zhengyang said from his own point of view.

"This ...... The author of this script insisted that he himself play the main character. Xu Guanwu said.

"So what did he do before, is he famous?" Zhou Zhengyang asked curiously.

Xu Guanwu shook his head, "He may have run a trick before, but he is not famous at all." ”

"That's not going to work. Without the call of stars, the box office must not be high. Zhou Zhengyang shook his head and said.

"Let's not make a decision in a hurry, let's take a look at the actor first, shall we? I think he's really fit to play the role. Xu Guanwu saw that Cui Yuye and Zhou Zhengyang disagreed, and couldn't help but feel a little refreshed.

"You two guys have no eyes, and you don't listen to what I advise. Later, I finished filming this movie and it was a big hit at the box office, so don't blame me for not taking care of you. ”

Zhou Zhengyang and Cui Yuye heard Xu Guanwu say this, and when they thought that he was always holding the title of manager, it was not good to make him lose face too much, so they both nodded as if compromised.

Xu Guanwu immediately called and asked Stallone to come over.

……

When Zhou Zhengyang and Cui Yuye saw Stallone, both of them were scared silly, and then shook their heads like wave drums, "Mr. Xu, what are you kidding?" Can this kind of person also be an actor? I don't think he's qualified to run tricks. ”

"His face is so wooden, he can't even make an expression, how can he be an actor. No, this is a no-go. Zhou Zhengyang and Cui Yuye tried their best to object.

"I still think this person is quite suitable for filming this film." Xu Guanwu insisted.

"If you insist on it, manager, then I'll have to consider reporting to headquarters." Zhou Zhengyang took out Zuihou's killer feature.

"I also believe that Boss Zou will believe in my vision." Xu Guanwu did not stop him, but smiled confidently.

Although Stallone couldn't understand the Cantonese used by the three of them, seeing the obvious disdain of the other two, he naturally understood that things might not be going so well.

"Sir, have you come up with a result?" He couldn't help but ask, but he regretted it a little in his heart, he knew that he wouldn't have rushed over overnight, and he spent the few dollars he had left.

Zhou Zhengyang and Cui Yuye didn't bother to pay attention to him, and both of them discussed calling back to Hong Kong immediately.

Xu Guanwu walked up to Stallone, "I'm sorry, let you go all the way and go again." But as you can see, we have a little dispute now, but I promise you that I will shoot this film. ”

Stallone didn't let go of Xu Guanwu's promise, he didn't believe the words that came out of his mouth, he only believed in the contract made in black and white.

"Sir, if you are not sincere, it is better to tell me earlier. Because the Zuihou dollar I had left in my pocket was spent when I just got in the car. Stallone said with some annoyance.

"In that case, then you will stay at my house tonight, and I will take care of your food before the movie starts." Xu Guanwu thought for a while.

He did this not only to tie up the talent of Stallone, but also to cultivate his feelings, lest this kid jump ship after he became popular.

Regarding Xu Guanwu's invitation, Stallone naturally had no reason to refuse, "Then Mr. Xiexie." ”

Successfully tied up Stallone, a moving golden mountain, Xu Guanwu was very happy.

At this time, Cui Yuye strode over, "Manager, Mr. Zou wants to talk to you." ”
