There are a lot of scammers in Hollywood...

Anne Hathaway's ex-boyfriend, Raphael Freyry, was arrested on suspicion of cyber fraud and money laundering;

Well-known producers are suspected of fraud...

Including Zachary Horwitz's operation of Ponzi schemes, which are not uncommon.

After all, most Hollywood stars have money, but they don't have any brains...

There is no investment talent.

Otherwise, there would not be a storm of bankruptcy - Nicolas Cage, Pamela Anderson and Johnny Depp...

It's hard to imagine how a billion-dollar person can bankrupt himself, but people can easily do it!

As for Zhang Ziyi...

Let's tell the truth, there has never been an example of a Chinese female star being able to marry a rich man, let alone an international rich man.

Yang Lan was conquered by Wu Zheng's LV bag, and Wu Zheng was just a poor gangster back then;

Li Xiang simply married a "big loser" Li Houlin, and his liabilities are far greater than his assets;

Including Gong Li's marriage to Singapore's unemployed man Huang Hexiang...

What exceptions can Zhang Ziyi have?

Is it also the largest individual shareholder of Time Warner Group and the largest private investor of Goldman Sachs Group?

!

If it's really so awesome, why hasn't it been reported?

Check the official website information to know that if it is one of the largest shareholders of Time Warner, then he will generally have a seat on the board of directors, and there are 13 members of the board of directors of Time Warner, none of whom is named Vivi Nevo...

Of course, it may be too mysterious...

Since it is mysterious, why do you want to date a female star in the entertainment industry?

In addition, after Zhang Ziyi met this rich man, did her career soar?

There is a Mao, after "Memoirs of a Geisha", she returned to China to develop, and the only English film "Knight" is still Taiwanese funds...

As for Shen Xudong's words, did they remind Zhang Ziyi?

Who knows...

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, Shen Xudong woke up, his brain was a little groggy, and he reached out and gently rubbed the corner of his forehead...

After returning to the hotel from the party last night, Gong Li came over to congratulate him personally.

And then...

He couldn't remember a bit, it looked like he was rough last night...

Anyway, when Gong Li left, his walking posture was a little crooked.

Oh, Gong Li has returned to China, and the rich and noble do not return to their hometown, such as brocade clothes walking at night!

She returned to China to shoot "Lao Qian" and "Rise to Fame" - "Rise to Fame" will start filming in June...

Shen Xudong got up, first took a shower to clear his mind, then changed into a set of clothes and went downstairs to eat.

Joseph Drake was already waiting, met and greeted with a smile: "Shen! ”

"Joseph..."

Shen Xudong sat down, asked for a cup of coffee, sandwiches and milk, and while eating, he asked, "Lane Johnson or Mark Webb, which one did you choose?" ”

Both of these are director candidates for "The Fault in the Stars"!

"The Fault in the Stars" has been launched...

It is a foregone conclusion that the North American box office of "Juno" will exceed 100 million, and Shen Xudong will of course quickly start the shooting plan of the second film.

By the way, "The Fault in the Stars" didn't sell very well, it was released in October last year, and it has sold 300,000 copies so far, and it has only circulated in a small area in North America...

It doesn't matter, when the adapted movie is released, the original book will definitely be popular around the world - the original time and space, and the global sales of the same name are 23 million copies!

Joseph Drake: "Mark Webb, his plan is a little more complete..."

"Lane Johnson can't do it?"

“… He was a little immature. ”

Shen Xudong nodded indifferently: "That's Mark Webb!" ”

Seeing that Shen Xudong had no opinion, Joseph Drake then asked: "What do you think about the choice of actors?" ”

“… Try to fit the original as much as possible, don't go over 20! ”

It's not that Shen Xudong is 'harsh', the story of "Fault in the Stars" revolves around the lives of two young people, Hazel and Augustus, who meet in a cancer support group.

Hezel is a 16-year-old girl who has had thyroid cancer for three years;

Augustus was a seventeen-year-old boy who lost a leg to osteosarcoma...

The love affair between a terminally ill boy and a terminally ill girl!

"I should know this," Joseph Drake was speechless, questioning my professionalism: "Other than that... What else? ”

"Women should be beautiful, men should be handsome... Well, the acting can't be too crotch-pulling... That's all! ”

Joseph Drake rolled his eyes: "These conditions you said, the street lamp in Los Angeles fell and hit ten people, at least five people met the conditions!" ”

Joseph Drake may be exaggerating, but it's true.

The competitiveness of Hollywood is greater than that of China...

The competition in the mainland film and television industry is fierce, taking Beijing as an example, from first-line celebrities to group performances, there are more than 300,000 people engaged in acting careers!

There are only 6,000 opportunities for TV series and movies combined every year, and excluding the tricks, from the male number one to the small supporting role, there are only 6,000 roles with lines.

More than 300,000 people compete for 6,000 roles, and among them, the well-known and related ones have to be divided into more than half, and the remaining roles are even less.

Los Angeles is the same, there is Hollywood, the base camp of North American film and television bases, and there are two major actors' unions in the United States, namely the Screen Actors Guild of America and the Actors and Actors Guild of Television and Radio.

These two actors' unions have more than 200,000 registered actors under their names, including almost all actors in the United States.

In addition, there are more tricks that do not join the club.

In Los Angeles alone, there are seven-figure actors!

Of course, most of them won't be on the big screen...

In addition to commercial films, Hollywood also shoots a large number of B-grade films every year, which is basically a low-cost, small theater distribution bad film market.

B-movie actors are in a very awkward position, often having to make some kind of compromise and subservience to the producers of large companies in order to work upward.

More B-movie actors simply switched careers to porn film and became adult stars completely.

Pulling it back, Shen Xudong glanced at him: "... Do you have any recommendations? ”

“… Can't Alan Peggy continue? ”

That's right, acquaintance introductions are the quickest way to cast ...

How can there be so many auditions?

It's too troublesome, "The Fault in the Stars" chooses the hero and heroine, and then finds a few familiar faces to play supporting roles, and a drama is filmed like this!

But Alan Page, Shen Xudong shook his head: "She's too short..."

"What about Natalie Portman?"

Shen Xudong continued to shake his head: "... Our cost is only $10 million, and with Natalie Portman, the actor has to use a big star, no! ”

Joseph Drake changed one: "What about Anne Hathaway?" She's paid a lot less than Natalie Portman..."

Shen Xudong thought for a while, but still shook his head: "... She didn't look like a 16-year-old girl. ”

"Then Rachel McAdams can pass..."

Joseph Drake muttered, then said, "Is Amanda Seyfried or Blake Leverly okay?" ”

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "... Blake Leverley I know "Summer of Jeans", her father is quite famous, right? Who is Amanda Seyfried? ”

Blake Lively's father, Ernie Lively, is a famous American TV producer, whose representative works include "Seinfeld", "70s Show", "X File", etc...

As for Amanda Seyfried, Joseph Drake explained: "I met her during the audition for "Juno", and she was quite an interesting little girl. ”

"Can you be impressed? So call it to see? ”

Joseph Drake glanced at him, whether he really didn't know or had other ideas, and nodded: "... Ok, I inform her agent..."
