Chapter 0440: Friendly Director DeWitt

"Okay, Han, since you're coming to the mecca of cinema, I think I can introduce you to a director who is working on a new action movie recently. You know, Lightcountry action movies are popular all over the world. ”

"Moreover, he knows you and has always admired your strength. I think it would be helpful for you to meet each other. Joseph returned to the point and suggested very seriously.

"Director?"

"Yes, Director DeWitt, I don't know if you've heard of ......"

"Well, he really doesn't have much fame in China, and he can only be regarded as a second-tier director in the lighthouse country. But you know, I've just arrived in the Beacon Country, so it's impossible to know any great directors. ”

Joseph shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said with a smile: "Han, although Director Devitt is not famous, you believe me, he is a very talented director. And he's more friendly to the Chinese, and is willing to accept the Chinese playing the main role in his films, and it's a positive role, you know what I mean? ”

Han Lan was silent for a moment and nodded.

The national conditions of the lighthouse country are like this, so there are actually very few directors who are willing to accept Chinese actors. Even if the director himself does not discriminate against Chinese actors, they must also take the audience into consideration.

Chinese actors as saviors in lighthouse movies? What are the Gallic jokes?

"Then ask him to meet." Han Lan said with a smile.

"Okay, don't worry, Han, I know you're a busy man, I've already said hello to you in advance before I came today, and I can ask him out for a meal at noon."

Han Lan naturally had no opinion when he heard him say this, and there were many ways out for him to know more individuals.

……

……

In a well-known local restaurant, Han Lan met the talented director of the Lighthouse Country.

Very orthodox Mediterranean middle-aged image of the lighthouse uncle.

He also speaks pure lighthouse country country English.

Of course, Han Lan didn't mean to look down on him, a second-tier director of the lighthouse country was enough to make the first-line stars of Huaguo kneel and lick. This circle is so real.

Director DeWitt did not look down on Han Lan, a star from China, he has always been friendly to Chinese people, and he has seen Han Lan fight in the ring.

Under this premise, the two naturally talked happily and boasted about each other.

Especially Han Lan, his harmless smile was very flattering. So it's easy to make friends with strangers.

"Mr. Han, I am preparing a new action movie recently, and I have invested 10 million dollars at present, and there is a Chinese kung fu master in it, I think it is very suitable for you, if you are interested, we can try to work together." Director DeWitt smiled and introduced the main topic.

The investment of 10 million dollars, not to mention the conversion into Chinese currency, is more than 70 million, which is higher than Han Lan's investment in "Huo Yuanjia", but it can only be regarded as below average in the Beacon movie. You must know that more than 50% of the film investment in the lighthouse country is more than 18 million dollars.

However, DeWitt's film is still in preparation, and additional investment may be made in the future.

Han Lan nodded and asked, "Can you get an idea of how many shots I will end up in the movie?" ”

DeWitt made a simple calculation and said with a smile: "After editing, there will be at least twenty minutes of footage." You can rest assured, if you are willing to take on this play, this can be written into the contract. ”

"Twenty minutes of footage?"

Han Lan understood, most likely it was the nature of a cameo, not even the second male lead.

DeWitt explained with a smile: "Mr. Han, this kung fu master is actually a very important character, I can't tell you the specific plot yet, but it is probably that the protagonist met this kung fu master in Chinatown after being defeated, and then under the guidance of the kung fu master, his strength increased by leaps and bounds, and finally defeated the villain." Moreover, the twenty-minute footage, which is very rare for Chinese actors......"

Han Lan's face was abrupt, and he nodded very supportively.

DeWitt laughed too.

In fact, this kung fu master said that it is not very important, in his original script, this kung fu master is actually a karate master, but wasn't Shota Yagi beaten into the hospital by Han Lan some time ago? Now many people think that Huaguo Kung Fu is more powerful than karate, so he can only change the script.

Anyway, it's the same with another master.

"So, Mr. Han, can we find out about your salary first?" DeWitt laughed.

Han Lan glanced at Fang Qiaorui, and Fang Qiaorui quickly put down the food in her hand, took out a piece of paper to wipe her mouth, and entered the working state: "Ahem, Mr. DeWitt, you know, our Mr. Han Lan has the first flow of small fresh meat in China." ”

"Small flow of fresh meat?"

"He is the most handsome and popular among the young artists in China!" This time, there was no need for Han Lan to explain, and Joseph took the initiative to help explain.

The last time he was in Castile, he had heard Han Lan's introduction.

That's his dream job!

I can't be reborn as a trainee!

After listening to Joseph's explanation, DeWitt also nodded, but looked at Fang Qiaorui with more vigilance. He also understands that this is going to raise the price.

Sure enough, Fang Qiaorui said with a smile: "Mr. DeWitt, if according to the current market in Huaguo, our Mr. Han Lan will get at least 100 million yuan for a movie." Of course, this is the currency of China, and it is much cheaper when converted into the currency of the lighthouse country, which is only more than 14 million dollars. ”

"Puff cough...... How much? DeWitt was directly choked by his own saliva, looked at Fang Qiaorui with an expression of "you are kidding me", and then looked at Han Lan.

Although he was mentally prepared to know that he was going to raise the price, he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.

Fourteen million dollars?

Co-author, he can't afford to hire Han Lan for the investment in the entire movie now?

"Mr. Han, is your assistant joking?"

Han Lan smiled, "Mr. Devitt, do you think we are joking?" I know that you Beacon Country actors have a watershed of 20 million yuan, and I don't have 20 million dollars yet. Is it much? Not much. ”

DeWitt was a little annoyed: "Mr. Han, the 20 million club is the top actor in the lighthouse country, and only the leading actor will get such a high salary." ”

Han Lan nodded: "Indeed, if there are only twenty minutes of footage, this price is indeed a bit high." ”

Devitt felt a little better when he heard him say this, but he reported another number: "Three million dollars." ”

"Watts?"

"Twenty minutes of footage, three million dollars, is it difficult for Director Willitt to think I'm not worth the price?" Han Lan asked with a smile.

DeWitt was a little angry.

Han Lan smiled and said: "Director De Witt should want to enter the Chinese market with this movie, right?" So you need a Chinese actor to guarantee the box office of the movie in China? ”

DeWitt's mind was shattered by him, and he took a sip of red wine with some irritation.

To put it mildly, in fact, he wants to take advantage of Han Lan's current popularity, especially in Huaguo, to make a fortune in the Chinese market.

But he was reluctant to give Han Lan a high price, after all, his investment in movies was also limited.

And in fact, in order to seek a chance to appear in a lighthouse movie, many Chinese actors are willing to appear with low salaries or even upside down.

But I didn't expect to meet a Chinese actor with an "abnormal" brain today, and he really dared to quote the price?
