Chapter 129: Reunion after a long absence [1/3]
There are three reasons why Chen Kexin invited Gao Fei to play Jiang Wuyang:
First, of course, it takes into account Li Lianjie's attitude;
The second is because before going to Haolaiwu to find Li Lianjie, Chen Kexin had actually persuaded Jin Chengwu for a month, but Jin Chengwu never agreed.
Because of this movie, at the same time, it violates his three principles of taking over the play.
That is, there are no other male protagonists; Don't take cosplays; Don't take on scenes where the shooting conditions are too difficult.
So even though the two are old partners, in the face of Chen Kexin's many invitations, Jin Chengwu still chose to refuse.
If it weren't for this, Chen Kexin would not have prepared a few more actors in addition to Jin Chengwu, just in case.
As for the last reason, it is to consider the factor of salary.
Although after Li Lianjie joined, "Vote for the Name" quickly raised an investment of 40 million US dollars.
But now Li Lianjie's salary in Hollywood is 15 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 120 million yuan.
Even if Li Lianjie took the initiative to erase the odds, he gave Chen Kexin a "friendship price" of 100 million.
But for the crew, this is still a huge expense.
And this is also the reason why the Chinese movies shot by Brother Cheng Long in recent years are all invested by himself.
Because of domestic film projects, almost no one can afford to hire him.
And in addition to Li Lianjie's 100 million salary, another male protagonist, Andy, also has a salary of almost 16 million.
So the salary alone is a huge expense for the crew.
In addition, Jin Chengwu's external salary is now 12 million, and Gao Fei's external quotation has only risen to 6 million even after his popularity in the mainland has skyrocketed recently.
So not to mention the competition with Jin Chengwu, even compared with the actresses of the same period, he can only be regarded as a younger brother!
You must know that Zhang Ziyi, who was born in the same year as him, now has a salary of 10 million.
So after thinking about it again, Chen Kexin had no choice but to give up continuing to persuade his old partner Jin Chengwu, and instead chose to invite Gao Fei.
After all, after changing to Goofy, not to mention Goofy's super popularity in the mainland, how much can it add to the box office of the movie in the end.
In terms of salary expenses alone, it can already save the crew 6 million.
What's more, there is also Li Lianjie's face.
So when Goofy didn't know anything, the pie fell from the sky and landed on his head.
……
It is said that there are no secrets in the entertainment industry.
After receiving the invitation from the crew of "Casting a Name", Gao Fei was confused.
But after contacting Brother Cheng Long and the charter man, he quickly figured out the inside story of the matter.
So when Han Li was excited to buy a ticket to Xiangjiang for Gao Fei, Gao Fei asked her to buy a ticket to the United States.
It's just that the tourist visa for the United States that I applied for a year ago has only been done by Gao Fei, and all Han Li can only send Gao Fei to the plane with a helpless face.
To be honest, looking at Gao Fei's dashing back, Han Li was really tired.
Although Han Li felt that she had grown fast enough, she still couldn't keep up with the speed of Gao Fei's rise.
So when Gao Fei left, Han Li, who was stimulated, could only desperately squeeze her potential again.
On the other side, after more than ten hours of flying, Gao Fei finally set foot on the land on the other side.
(⊙o⊙)… Well, how can I say it?
Although out of respect, he decided to come and visit in person.
But when Gao Fei got off the plane, before he could find a hotel to stay, he was picked up by a CAA agent who came to pick him up.
There is no way, in order to meet Li Lianjie, he must contact his agent in advance to confirm the itinerary.
Otherwise, even if he arrives in the United States, he can only run for nothing.
It's just that Gao Fei didn't expect that before he could get ready, Li Lianjie asked people to bring him over.
Only...... Quite suddenly!
Although Gao Fei remembers that Li Lianjie was really good to him when he was a child.
But later, Gao Fei left the film and television industry for ten years because of school, so they gradually broke off contact.
To be precise, Gao Fei was embarrassed to contact Li Lianjie again.
So this time, to be honest, Goofy really hasn't figured out how to face him.
……
Half an hour later.
Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
When Gao Fei walked into Li Lianjie's mansion on the mountainside.
I saw Li Lianjie, who was over forty years old, practicing boxing on the lawn.
Gao Fei took a look at it and found that the routines were very miscellaneous, such as sanda, boxing, and back boxing, etc., which seemed to be included.
And when Gao Fei approached, before he could say hello, he saw Li Lianjie suddenly smile and beckoned to him:
"Come, let's practice and see if you have grown over the years!"
After that, before Gao Fei could say anything, he heard the sound of the wind in his ears, and a fierce back fist attacked him.
Seeing this, Gao Fei immediately didn't dare to be distracted.
After all, Tongbei Boxing is already quite famous in the Great Song Dynasty.
It's just that at that time, Tongbei Boxing was also called "Ape Boxing", which was the heaviest boxing method among the boxing in the Northland.
At the beginning, Zhou Dong, who was an iron arm, was especially good at this punch.
When he was young, he had a pair of iron fists, and he didn't know how many criminals he had killed.
That is, when he is old, Zhou Dong has only cultivated himself.
Otherwise, Gao Fei might not have been able to worship under Zhou Dong's door with a warrant from Gao Qiu.
So not long after the two fought for a while, Li Lianjie, who was still a little joking, suddenly couldn't help but get serious.
Because he found Goofy's plausible back punch to be a bit odd.
He thought about the various factions of Tongbei Boxing that are now circulating in China, and found that none of them had such a heavy murderous aura.
So in addition to being nervous, he couldn't help but be a little curious.
……
It's just that although Gao Fei and Li Lianjie were playing well, they startled the staff on the side.
Because although the boxing techniques of the two are different, they are from the same source after all.
So when they started, the two of them were both crackling and rubbing, fierce and bold, and they were often strong against strong.
In the eyes of others, they naturally feel that this competition is fierce and dangerous.
So when Gao Fei was relying on his youth and strong muscles and bones to knock Li Lianjie back half a step, he heard the foreigner on the side squeaking and screaming.
Gao Fei also went to college, and he can barely speak English, so he can naturally understand what he means.
So even if you take two steps back, you can take it when you see it.
After all, he came to thank others, if he injured Li Lianjie, wouldn't it be revenge!
Seeing this situation, Li Lianjie on the opposite side immediately withdrew his hand a little breathlessly.
But he didn't save face for himself.
When even looked at Gao Fei with an appreciative face, he patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said:
"Good boy, you can, I didn't expect that I am no longer your opponent now!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but shake his head with emotion.
