Chapter 293. [Who plays the villain]

Mel Jebson followed Johnson to the door of the VIP room.

"Mr. Gibson, you go in, I'm out of company!" Johnson, the head of FOX TV, smiled politely and left.

Mel Gibson shrugged and casually pushed open the door to the VIP room.

In the ornate and minimalist VIP room, only one person is sitting on a sofa reading a newspaper.

The newspaper covered his face, and it was not clear who it was.

"Hey, friend, is that you? Want to see me? Gibson walked over and sat down arrogantly across from the man.

"Yes, that's me!" The newspaper folded, revealing a handsome face.

Jebson, who originally had an extremely arrogant expression, was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "That Johnson is right, you are qualified to be more famous than me, just the stab you received not long ago has shaken the entire United States!" ”

The person sitting in front of him smiled slightly, he was Yi Feiyang!

……

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jebson, to meet you in such a way...... But there's really no way, you have to know that the media are even more powerful guys than the CIA, if they know that I'm here, I'm afraid they will be surrounded immediately! Yi Feiyang said to Gibson with a little apology.

"It's understandable, I'm also from red to purple, and those reporters are really annoying, it's scary!" For this legendary Chinese director, Gibson still has a good impression.

Young, talented, passionate and creative, these compliments are not overstated.

"So. Mr. Yi Feiyang. You want to see me so much. Isn't it to tell me you hate those damn journalists? Gibson joked.

"Oh no, no, no, of course not!" Yi Feiyang smiled, "Actually, I met you because there was a drama that wanted to invite you to play the leading role!" ”

Yi Feiyang went straight to the point and explained the purpose.

"Are you looking for me to film? Oh unfortunately, maybe you didn't watch the interview I just did, and I happen to have a film to shoot at hand...... So, I probably don't have time! Gibson said regretfully.

"You said it too. Yes, there may be no time; Also, you're going to take over the filming of that drama, haven't you taken over yet? So everything is variable! ”

"Oh God, Yi, you are cunning and sophistry!" Gibson laughed, "But I like you, I like cunning people, tell me, what kind of movie are you." See if you can convince me! ”

Yi Feiyang smiled, "It's a play you don't dare to act!" ”

"What? What did you say. What do I dare not act? Gibson owes his ass, but he immediately sits down again, "Ha Luha, Yi, you're scheming again, aren't you?" What is this called, is your Chinese radical law? ”

"No, I don't need to use any aggressive tactics against you, what I said is the truth, the subject matter I am going to shoot is very sensitive, if you are the leading actor, you will definitely set up a lot of enemies, to be precise, you will be spit on and scolded by people......"

Gibson didn't expect Yi Feiyang to say this, he was born with a "cheap bone", he listened to it itchingly, "Say, what kind of story are you going to shoot?!" ”

Yi Feiyang stared at him, and then said solemnly: "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta!" ”

……

In real life, Mel Gibson is a devout Catholic — that's why he later directed The Passion of the Christ, a politically right-wing conservative who adheres to Catholic teachings, opposes stem cell transplantation, opposes homosexuality, is loyal to his family, has lived with a married wife for decades, and has seven children, all of whom he loves like treasures.

But Mel Jay = Gibson's favorite role is the Warriors! Especially those challenging warrior characters! Mel Gibson once said that if man had a past life, then he must be an ancient warrior, loyal to his family and country, who would fight for freedom and fraternity!

Therefore, Yi Feiyang knew that he would never be able to refuse the temptation of this play!

Just imagine, a modern warrior who loves a challenge to play the role of Leoni, the greatest and most tragic king of Sparta in history, how satisfying and challenging it would be!

It turned out that Yi Feiyang's guess was right, after reading the script, Gibson said that he needed to think about it, but it didn't take long for him to call and decide, "I'm going to shoot this play!" ”

For such a result, Yi Feiyang smiled.

No one expected to get superstar Mel Gibson so easily.

But Yi Feiyang will not agree to Gibson so easily, the reason is very simple, although I invited you, but I don't necessarily want you to act.

Gibson was anxious, and he wanted to know that for this play, he had already pushed off "Eavesdropping on a Woman's Heart", but he didn't expect Yi Feiyang to suddenly make a 180-degree turn, and in turn, he became a supplicant.

"What the hell do you want, dear Yi, don't fool me anymore!" Gibson couldn't take it anymore.

In this regard, Yi Feiyang sighed, "The funds are insufficient!" ”

"Understood!" Gibson rolled his eyes, "My salary has dropped from 25 million to 10 million, it's always okay, right?" ”

"What's so embarrassing about that?" Yi Feiyang was overjoyed, and then clasped Gibson's hand, "Then congratulations, the role of Jesus is yours!" ”

Gibson rolled his eyes again.

……

Now, it has been confirmed that the big star Mel Gibson will play the role of "King of Sparta" in "Spartan 300 Warriors". Yi Feiyang believes that with Gibson's excellent acting skills and his dedication to this drama in his previous life, he will definitely be able to play this role.

But then Yi Feiyang has a headache, who will play the second character in this play, "Xerxes"? !

A movie always has positive and negative characters, if the "King of Sparta" in this play is a positive character, then there is no doubt that the "Emperor of Persia" Xerxes is the negative character.

In fact, the Persian Emperor Xerxes was a very special character, as the monarch of the entire vast empire, he was a man of great joy. He thought he was at the top of the world, and from there he looked down on thousands of beings like ants.

In this story, Xerxes wields unimaginable power. He held it in his left hand. The right hand is held to death. And which hand he stretched out. No one can speculate.

Everyone in the empire prostrates at his feet, and no one but him enjoys security and dignity.

The queen was his slave. He once ordered the queen to go to the drunkards and show her beauty. He's like a rich man showing off his jewelry. The queen refused this order and defended her dignity. But she paid a terrible price. She was immediately deposed and sent to the cold palace. The concubines in the harem, if they are not summoned by him and enter the dormitory without authorization, will be in danger of their lives. If Xerxes had stretched out his golden scepter to her. Then she will be pardoned. If he hadn't reached out, then she would have been put to death – even if she was the queen.

The Prime Minister is his slave. He could easily raise up a prime minister, or he could have killed him with the same carelessness. While a prime minister can amass vast wealth and wield great power, a single wrath of Xerxes can wipe it out.

So in a sense, Xerxes is a very important character in the play, a person who decides the fate of everyone's life and death. For a role like this, you have to find a suitable character to play it.

Yi Feiyang remembers very well that in the "Spartan 300 Warriors" in his previous life. Xerxes was a handsome and strange young man with strings of gold rings on his cheeks. He is unreasonably tall and speaks hoarse English when he opens his mouth. It's just a technique of artistic expression. In fact, Xerxes did not have a golden ring on his face, but a long beard. But he was indeed very tall and handsome, and he was rarely matched in the entire empire.

But now, since Yi Feiyang wants to direct and shoot this movie himself, he hopes to find a more penetrating actor to play the role of "Xerxes", instead of simply engaging in some gimmicks on the screen, what handsome and weird, etc.

Yi Feiyang wants a historical effect, not a comic effect...... You must know that the play in the previous life was adapted from the comics...... Now, Yi Feiyang's only purpose is to select one person from among the many actors of Dream Entertainment to play the role.

But, who will play it?!

Yi Feiyang fell into a problem again.

Looking at the entire fantasy entertainment company, there are only a few who can perform "Xerxes" very sharply, the first one, Gyllenhaal, but he is too young and too handsome, and it is estimated that he can't play the domineering spirit of "Xerxes" who is in charge of life and death; The second, old Max, needless to say, is an old actor who has starred in "Jigsaw", and his acting skills are superb, but he is a little older, and he can play a grandfather-level character. The third, Johnny Depp, has good looks and acting skills, but he lacks the demeanor of a king, especially after playing Captain Jack, he seems to have been symbolized, he is a pirate!

Yi Feiyang was very distressed, patting his head, trying to think of who else could play such an important figure as Judas.

Suddenly, he saw an invitation on the table, which was sent to Yi Feiyang by former President Clinton, inviting him to have time to attend a private party held by their family.

Clinton?

Yi Feiyang's mind immediately appeared with a politician's face that although he was not too handsome, he was majestic and cold...... Former President of the United States? Xerxes!

Yi Feiyang didn't know why, but he actually overlapped the two images of Clinton and "Xerxes".

Shaking his head violently, Yi Feiyang shook off this ridiculous idea and let Clinton play Xerxes? God, this is absolutely...... Definitely surprising to lose big teeth!

However, it seems to be interesting.

……

Former President Bill Clinton has been having a hard time lately. Since the last victory in "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", this drama has become popular, the starring Will Smith has become popular, and even the baby son of the little Will has also become popular, only Bill Clinton, who played the "good guy" in the play, has not done anything.

Although some reporters have chased and interviewed him, no one has commented on his "acting skills", or they are embarrassed to comment. Some people say it's good, some say it's okay, some say it's contrived...... All in all, these comments left Clinton depressed.

I've worked hard, why can't I get everyone's approval?!

The "lack of improvement" in his acting career, as well as the "power management" of his wife Hillary Clinton at home, made Clinton full of menopausal troubles.

What to do with a distressed man? Of course, it's a party or something.

So Clinton took the initiative to invite a group of friends to cook a barbecue in the large garden in his backyard.

That night, since Yi Feiyang was going to come to Clinton's house as a guest, of course, courtesy was indispensable. He bought a bottle of French champagne with a knot around his neck at the Red Hotel and used it as a gift.

After everything was ready, we came to the villa where Clinton lived.

Yi Feiyang stood at the door and waited for a while, the automatic gate slowly rose, and then he entered the villa, which was worth more than 400,000 yuan.

The villa is planted with all kinds of flowers and trees, and it is unusually wide. Before Yi Feiyang could take a few steps, he was stopped by a white security guard and said politely, "Sorry sir, please show your invitation." ”

Yi Feiyang touched his pocket, and then remembered that he had left the invitation at home.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to bring my invitation, see if you can ......"

Without waiting for Yi Feiyang to finish speaking, the white security guard said, "I'm sorry sir, you can't enter without an invitation." ”

Yi Feiyang was embarrassed, he didn't expect to be stopped outside, and when he was about to think of a way, another guy who looked like a security guard suddenly asked, "Hey, I'm sorry, are you director Yi Feiyang?" ”

Seeing the other party's inquiry, Yi Feiyang smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am." ”

"Ha, it's really you." The security guard became extremely happy, and excitedly said to his partner: "He is a famous China Yilai!" Also a good friend of Mr. Clinton! ”

The previous security guard suddenly realized, no wonder he was so familiar, it turned out that this person was the famous Hollywood "Magic Young" and "Hand of God"!

Needless to say, under the apology of the two security guards, Yi Fei, who did not have an invitation, entered the mansion in a grand manner.

Behind them, the two security guards were extremely excited and happy in their hearts, and they knew that today's incident was enough to become their proudest conversation.

Yi Feiyang walked into the back garden and watched as he walked.

I saw that in the garden of Clinton's house at this moment, some men in casual clothes and well-dressed ladies were enjoying a drink. What whiskey, brandy, and wine, as well as juices, are placed on the buffet table, not far away, is a huge swimming pool, some men and women are playing in the water, especially those bikini girls, plump ~ buttocks, fat ~ breasts, hot, eye-catching, so that men bang their hearts.

In short, as a party, there is a casual and happy atmosphere everywhere, at least as a workaholic, Yi Feiyang also feels pleasing to the eye when he sees everything in front of him.

Not to mention, this Clinton guy really knows how to enjoy! (To be continued......)
