"Hello, dear Mr. Zhang Zhonghua and dear Mr. Bruce, welcome to Columbia Pictures."

Marco Kellerman greeted Zhang Zhonghua and Bruce Lee warmly, of course, mainly to greet Zhang Zhonghua.

Previously, Marco Kellerman went to San Francisco to find Zhang Zhonghua because of the adaptation of "Redemption", but now the filming location of the movie has not been found.

Now that Zhang Zhonghua is coming to him, he is very worried that Zhang Zhonghua has a whim, and he wants Bruce as the starring role.

Although Zhang Zhonghua is the original author or screenwriter, it is absolutely impossible to let Bruce as the starring role, no matter what, the protagonist of this movie must be an ugly countryman, and he must be an ugly countryman.

"Hello Mr. Marco Kellerman, I wrote a movie script specifically for Bruce Lee, and I came to Columbia to see if there was any opportunity to work together."

Zhang Zhonghua explained his intentions to Kellerman.

"Oh, the script needs to be evaluated by our planning department before we can decide whether to invest in cooperation."

Hearing that Zhang Zhonghua didn't let Bruce play the leading role, this made Marco Kellerman breathe a sigh of relief, and then reacted that Zhang Zhonghua actually wrote a script specifically for Bruce Lee, which immediately made him interested.

"Of course, but I hope that Mr. Kellerman can arrange for someone to evaluate the script as soon as possible, and I will return to Southeast Asia in the near future, and I will not be in the ugly country for too long."

"Of course there is no problem, I will arrange someone to evaluate it immediately."

After saying that, Kellerman took Zhang Zhonghua and Bruce Lee to the lounge, and then went out to find someone to evaluate.

After Kellerman left, Zhang Zhonghua and Bruce Lee sat in the conference room and began to chat, saying that when "Redemption", Bruce Lee wanted to go to "Redemption" to play a cameo role.

Zhang Zhonghua said that this must be no problem, there are so many roles in the movie, and it is not trivial to find a supporting role that shows his face more clearly.

When the two talked happily, the planning department of Columbia began to argue fiercely, and even a little bit of inextricability.

Many people in the planning department opposed the filming of this film because the film was too expensive to shoot and the film was too long;

Although there are many opponents, there are also many people who agree, this film integrates various martial arts fights, and it is also shot in world-renowned tourist attractions, and the movie is sure to be a big hit at the box office when it is released in various countries.

The differences between the two parties in the planning department were relatively large, and the decision was finally made after more than an hour of heated discussion.

Marco Kellerman and the director of the planning department came to the conference room, and the boss decided to shoot it, not to mention that the film was a landscape film.

"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, we are going to shoot this movie, and there is no problem at all with the starring role of Bruce.

However, the cost of this movie is relatively large, we have estimated, if it is filmed according to your script, it will probably reach 6 million US dollars as a whole, I don't know how much you have to invest? ”

Marco Kellerman asked.

The film was too risky for them to afford, so they needed to find someone to share the risk.

"I don't care, you can see the amount of investment, I also promised Bruce to write a movie script for him, and at the same time, I can also promote some of my companies.

You can also cooperate with companies like Paramount, and I will sponsor $2 million for this film first, and I will invest in the rest after you negotiate it.

As for the script, you can discuss and revise it, and I just provide a general idea. ”

"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, I know that you started writing because you wanted to promote the CFC restaurant, and you also wrote a script for Bruce to promote the company's company by the way?"

Marco Kellerman said a little speechlessly.

"Yes, I can also write a theme song for this movie if you need it."

Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.

Wang Defa, the people in the conference room can only use this sentence to express their inner feelings, they feel that Zhang Zhonghua can go to Harvard University School of Economics to be a professor, he is simply a vampire, and he will not miss any opportunity to make money.

This is Bruce Lee also really recognized Zhang Zhonghua's awesomeness, everything he does is purposeful, no wonder his company frequently appears in her.

"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, there is absolutely no problem with your attainments in music, many of the songs you have written have spread all over the world, just like the songs you sang when the West German National Carrefour opened have swept across Europe, and now they have been broadcast in the ugly country, they are all very classic songs."

Marco Kellerman couldn't help but praise Zhang Zhonghua.

"Thank you!"

Zhang Zhonghua raised an eyebrow, and then thanked Marco Kellerman with a smile on his face.

"Then the music will trouble you, let's contact Paramount to jointly invest in the filming and distribution of this "Menglong Crossing the River", and we will negotiate the specific matters later."

Marco Kellerman said.

"Of course you can, you can directly contact the Jade Emperor Electric Company in Los Angeles if you need me to pay money, I have already explained it to the other side, I just have to ask about this movie, Bruce can represent me with full authority, if there is anything that can't be decided, Brother Long, you can contact me."

Zhang Zhonghua said to Bruce Lee.

"Okay!"

After leaving Columbia Pictures, Zhang Zhonghua and Bruce Lee returned to the hotel, and now there is really nothing fun about Hollywood, and there are basically no active stars in Hollywood that he knows.

And Zhang Zhonghua has no idea of meeting some female stars, and wants to live a few more years.

And the current Hollywood stars Zhang Zhonghua dare not compliment, let alone have any in-depth contact, smoking and alcohol are normal phenomena, drug abuse and promiscuity are not uncommon, and some Hollywood stars shooting a movie may sleep the high-level executives of the opposite sex in the crew, and even sleep with the high-level executives of the same sex.

"Zhang Sheng, I have revised some parts of the script you wrote, and there are some fight plots in the middle of the term, and I have to communicate with the director well."

Bruce Lee said excitedly.

"Okay, you and the director can do it, the movie was originally written for you, but it is much more difficult for us people in the ugly country to get mixed up in the good dock than the blacks, you can communicate with the director about the script.

You've been in Hollywood for a long time, and I'm sure you know that better than I do. I believe that you can handle the relationship between the various opposites, if these film companies want to ban a star, it is still very easy, if they are banned, they will basically say goodbye to their acting career in the future. ”

Zhang Zhonghua still focused on reminding Bruce Lee.

Although Bruce Lee has been mixed in Hollywood for many years, he has not been happy with the mix, and now he will float after he becomes famous, the director of Hollywood has the power of life and death, and if he encounters a tyrant on the set, it will be just imaginary.

"I understand Zhang Sheng, I have been in Haolaiwu for so many years, and I still understand this truth. And this is the first movie I've been acting in, and I'm going to be sure to deal with all kinds of relationships. ”

Bruce Lee listened to Zhang Zhonghua's words, nodded seriously, and then said to Zhang Zhonghua excitedly as if he had thought of something.

"Brother Long, this movie is going to fight with martial arts masters from all over the world, I advise you to take it a little leisurely, in case you are accidentally injured, it will not only affect your body but also delay the filming progress."

Zhang Zhonghua looked at Bruce Lee's expression and was quite speechless, he knew what he was thinking, he must be thinking about comparing with martial arts masters from various countries.

He wants to play with masters from all over the world, he is simply a martial arts idiot, if he accidentally beats out all the dog's brains on the set, it will be over.

And this movie doesn't need to be considered an R-rated movie, minors definitely can't watch it, but CFC restaurants are very welcome to children, it's a pity.

At noon, Zhang Zhonghua, Bruce Lee and others came to a restaurant to prepare for lunch, and some children sat at the table next to them.

Zhang Zhonghua saw one of the 10-year-old black children, and felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, Zhang Zhonghua was sure that he had seen this child, or the future of this child.

"Zhang Zhonghua, what are you looking at?"

Bruce Lee found Zhang Zhonghua who was distracted, so he asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that the kid looks a little familiar, but I can't remember it."

After saying that, Zhang Zhonghua raised his chin, Bruce Lee followed Zhang Zhonghua's gaze and saw the black child.

"I thought it was, this kid was Michael Joseph Jackson, and in 1963 at the age of 5, Jackson began to show his talent for singing and dancing, and last year they released their first album, "Big Boy".

】

This year, Jackson's family moved to Los Angeles, and the little guy Jackson's first single "I Want You Back" topped the charts. ”

Bruce Lee said appreciatively.

"Bruce, Bruce, it's an honor to meet you."

Jackson, who was immersed in cooking, heard someone introduce himself, looked up and found that it was Bruce Lee, a kung fu master, who was very excited, he watched Bruce Lee's movies a lot, and knew that Bruce Lee's hot summer kung fu was really amazing.

Jackson excitedly came to Zhang Zhonghua and Bruce Lee's table, and glanced at Zhang Zhonghua next to him, feeling a little familiar, as if he had seen it on TV or in newspapers, but he couldn't remember it.

I'm going to you, it's MJ, Zhang Zhonghua almost dropped his jaw, no wonder it's so familiar, he copied so many songs, this is to meet the main owner.

He is now quite in the mood of Charlotte sitting on the judges' bench and watching Jay Chou sing.

MJ kid, uncle is sorry for you, many of your songs have been occupied by your uncle, and you made your debut at the age of 5, are you still human? You're a youkai!

！

Jackson won 13 Grammy Awards and 26 American Music Awards in his lifetime, and had 13 Ugly Country No. 1 singles.

"Hello Jackson, congratulations on the big sale of your single, this is my friend Zhang Zhonghua, the author of books such as "The Three-Body Problem" and "Redemption", and he is also an excellent singer."

Bruce Lee introduced Zhang Zhonghua next to Jackson like Jackson.

"Oh my God, I know you, you are the Zhang Zhonghua who sold the software for $1.5 billion, hello, it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua."

Jackson said to Zhang Zhonghua very excitedly.

"Hello Jackson, what a wonderful and excellent teenager, I am very optimistic about you."

Zhang Zhonghua said.

Well, the focus is on 1.5 billion dollars, but there is no way Jackson is now a 12-year-old child, and the books he wrote, 12-year-olds can't read them, they just remember that they are a tycoon, and a piece of software sold for 1.5 billion dollars.

"Thank you, sir, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, do you also sing?"

Little Jackson asked Zhang Zhonghua after sitting down.

"I've sung a few songs, but I didn't release a record, I just used it in my supermarket and restaurant."

Zhang Zhonghua said with some embarrassment.

Zhang Zhonghua was thinking about whether to sign a long-term endorsement contract directly with MJ Mini in front of him.

That's right, how did the Chinese food chain brand 'True Kung Fu' sign Bruce Lee's portrait rights, and it is understandable that Golden Voice uses Ronaldo's portrait.

"Zhang Zhonghua, what songs have you sung?"

MJ asked Zhang Zhonghua.

Today's children are so curious that they have to chase a question to break the casserole and ask to the end.

"It's all songs that only adults listen to, "Billie Jean Wic", "We Will Rock You", and a few songs are sung by women."

Zhang Zhonghua said.

"Where can I hear that?"

Little Jackson continued to ask.

Zhang Zhonghua looked at the MJ in his eyes and couldn't laugh or cry, I didn't think that MJ was so axis in the child stage, why is your curiosity so heavy.

"Well, there is a Jade Emperor Appliance Experience Store in Los Angeles, you should be able to hear it there, you can go and listen to "We Are the World", and a few other songs are too young for you to be suitable."

Zhang Zhonghua comforted.

Now little Jackson is only 12 years old, and he doesn't know how to love love, so it's not suitable for children.

"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua and Bruce, are you here to make a movie?"

Little Jackson asked curiously.

"We just talked to Columbia Pictures about a film, but it could take a month or two to prepare for the actual shooting."

Bruce Lee said.

"Cool, is it an action movie? Where to shoot? ”

"That's right, it's indeed an action movie called "Menglong Crossing the River", this movie will be filmed in San Francisco, Rome in Italy, Paris in Gaul, London in the United Kingdom, Madrid in Spain, Munich in Western Germany, Dongjin in Dongying, and Hong Kong Island in the hot summer, which is still more troublesome in general."

Bruce Lee explained.

Bruce Lee looked at little Jackson, it's a pity that you can't get into the cinema even if you're too young.

"So many places? Bruce: Can I make a cameo for a few shots, I haven't made a movie yet. ”

Little Jackson's hopeful eyes looked at Bruce Lee, it would be good if he could appear in the movie with his idol, Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do has beaten countless masters in the ugly country.
