Does Zhen Bullet want to break into Hollywood?

Of course I want to, and I don't just want to, he has been taking action, playing a series of supporting roles in Hollywood over the years, and actively participating in behind-the-scenes work, and he is also considered to have a certain reputation in Hollywood.

During this time, he was in a very good mood, and he was filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: The Sword of the Underworld" directed by Yuan Heping in New Zealand, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee was famous in Hollywood, and the production company of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: The Sword of the Underworld" - Weinstein International Pictures is also famous in Hollywood, and it stands to reason that this movie should be able to achieve certain results in North America after its release in the future.

In addition, he recently took on a co-production with the United States, which is also one of the hottest superhero movies at the moment, and is also the work of Michael Samberg, the well-known producer and producer of "Django Unchained".

Donnie Yen himself is clearly looking forward to the collaboration, saying in a recent interview: "The film we have created will be very unique, and it will hopefully become an example of the perfect integration of Chinese and Western film business models." ”

He also said that he is quite optimistic about the producers, "Michael knows how to seize opportunities, and he is always improving and adapting to the changing business climate. ”

So what is the name of this film that Zhen Bullet has high hopes for?

"Noodle Man"!

Listening to the name, you know that it is a super bad movie, and you can't even find much information on the Internet in the future, but Zhen Bullet at this moment is still full of expectations for this film, because if the Chinese want to break into Hollywood, there is really no good choice, it is good to show your face in a Hollywood blockbuster, and then it is likely that only the Chinese version will retain the scene, and the other versions will be deleted when they are officially released, and the so-called Chinese special version is also!

So although "Noodle Man" seems to be unreliable, Brother Bullet still doesn't dare to slack off, but then again, who has a serious Hollywood film willing to act in this kind of script!

This is still Zhen Bullet, the fourth Chinese male star after the two "Ip Man", whose salary soared to Cheng Long, Li Lianlian, and Li Mu!

Even he is treated like this in Hollywood, let alone other actors in China?

But Wu Jing, who was far inferior to him only a few years ago, suddenly trembled.

The box office of "Fast Pursuit 2" in North America was $31.02 million in the first week, a total of $11.74 million from Monday to Thursday in the second week, and a total of $17.2 million in the three days from Friday to Sunday.

"Fast Pursuit 2" was released in North America for ten days, won the North American weekly crown, with a cumulative box office of 59.96 million US dollars in North America, a cumulative box office of 114 million US dollars in the entire overseas (including North America), plus a total of 140 million US dollars (850 million yuan) in the first ten days, so far the film has been released for ten days, and the global cumulative box office has reached 254 million US dollars, according to the current market trend, the final 350 million US dollars has almost no problems.

In the end, the box office may be even higher.

This is already the level of Hollywood's average A-level production, and the result easily fell into the hands of Wu Jing, and more importantly, this is the second part of this series, and now the second part is still so good at the box office, so it is certain that this series will shoot the third or even the fourth part.

The protagonist of a series of movies that can continue to be filmed and has a certain influence in Hollywood, this is a resource that the current Zhen Bullet cannot reach no matter what.

But it's ......

Wu Jing's previous development and his Zhen bullet are completely incomparable, but looking at the present, it has only been a few years?

The two "Fast Pursuit" easily opened the door to Hollywood for Wu Jing, and he Zhen Dan has worked hard in Hollywood for many years, has been behind the scenes for so many years, and has paid so many hardships, so he has worked hard to make a little connection, but now he still holds a script like "Noodle Man" as a treasure, are you looking at Wu Jing?

When I knew that Wu Jing and Huashang had signed a "deed of sale" for six years, I thought that Wu Jing would regret it sooner or later, but I didn't expect that Wu Jing would really be able to develop so fast after joining Huashang.

It's impossible to say that he doesn't have any ideas at all, Zhen Dan pondered while filming, when he would meet Li Mu again, maybe he could also take the initiative to sell himself to Li Mu.

In addition, in December, Huayi's Wang brothers and director Feng Xiaogang also contacted Li Mu by phone, saying that Huayi was currently preparing a new movie, with Guan Yu as the director, Feng Xiaogang as the producer and the actor, and they asked Li Mu if he was interested in pitching.

As soon as Li Mu heard this description, he knew that it was the "Old Paoer" with very strong casting.

Of course, Huayi is not short of money, the Wang brothers are looking at the two families of Huayi and Huashang in recent years, and the cooperation between them is becoming less and less, so they want to take this opportunity to pull in the relationship between the two sides.

In recent years, Huayi Brothers' minds are less and less on movies, in the long run, Huashang and Huayi parting ways is inevitable, but in this process, cooperation between each other is still impossible to completely avoid, such as at this stage, although the proportion of Huayi Brothers in Huashang's films is decreasing year after year, but after all, it has not dropped to zero, since Huayi still participates in Huashang's films, it is very natural for Huashang to participate in Huayi's profitable projects.

However, since you want to participate in the investment, of course, you can also point out the casting of the film, so after understanding the most basic script, Li Mu's Huashang side made a request - Huashang's side wants two roles!

As mentioned above, the casting of "Lao Paoer" is really powerful, Feng Xiaogang and Guan Xuan can be called "wise as a torch", and they even selected Li Yifeng and Wu Yifang, the two good brothers, together in one play, and now since Huashang wants to participate in the investment, of course these two cannot but be changed.

As for who to replace, Li Mu thinks that Chen Bi and Zhang Ruoyun under Huashang are good, and Chen Bi replaces Li Yifeng's son Xiaobo, the son of the sixth master of Lao Pao'er, and uses Zhang Ruoyun instead of Wu Yifu to play the second generation of officials, the second generation of rich, and the old man of the drag racing party, which is perfect.

Follow-up, Huayi discussed with Feng Xiaogang and Guan Yuyi and agreed.

The reason why they want to use those two people is also because the popularity of these two is really high, and they need to use them to pull the box office, and although the fans of Chen Bi and Zhang Ruoyun launched by Huashang are far inferior to those few, from past experience, these two candidates of Huashang are really responsible for the box office, so they will be changed.

Although the contract has been signed with those two, although the two have even communicated with the time to enter the group, but so what? Hua Shang and Hua Yi discussed privately, saying that if they were replaced, they would change people, what kind of temper could the two have?

This kind of temporary truncation of the role has always been the most important thing for actors, and some even have to hold a grudge for a lifetime, presumably Li Yifeng and Wu Yifang learned that the role in their hands flew, most of them were incompetent and angry, but these two probably still want to remember their anger on Chen Bi and Zhang Ruoyun, as for Huashang's Liu Siying or Li Mu, they are not at the same level as the two at all, and the two of them can't hold grudges even if they want to.

Speaking of which, Li Mu's memory of the movie "Lao Paoer" in his previous life is still quite profound, especially the passion scene between Feng Xiaogang and Xu Qing, Director Feng successfully filmed a passion scene that was not lifted so eye-catching, and he was talented enough!

In late 12, Liu Siying said to Li Mu on the phone that the company and Rao Xueslow had signed a contract to jointly shoot "Left Ear", like this kind of film with a small investment, Liu Siying and Chen Zhixi have the right to make their own decisions, but they still have to communicate with Li Mu.

Regarding the project of "Left Ear", Li Mu is actually no stranger, in fact, he had set his sights on the adaptation rights of this original work shortly after he crossed over, but later had to give up because the author Rao Xue asked too much.

The original work of "Left Ear" has nearly 10 million readers, and this level of film and television adaptation copyright has always been a "sweet spot" in the eyes of major film companies, and the author of the original work, Rao Xueqing, obviously knows this, so when negotiating conditions with major film companies, Rao Xuechuan is often a "lion's mouth"!

In her own words: "I have always been cautious when it comes to selling copyrights, because I must be worthy of my book fans, which is the first step I have to do." If they find out that the gap between them and the movie is too big, I think the first person to hate is me. ”

So what exactly is she wanting?

It's the master control of the adaptation!

From screenwriting to casting, to the entire filming process, post-production, publicity and marketing, Rao Xue has the main control of the film with a very high right to speak, at that time, Li Muke hoarded a lot of more valuable IPs, at that time, even Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem" only had an adaptation fee of more than 100,000 yuan, and there were no other incidental requirements, in that case, where would Li Mu still be in the mood to bargain with her for the right to adapt a movie that was only a little valuable romance?

So at that time, Li Mu very decisively gave up continuing contact with Rao Xueslow, but he didn't expect that eight years had passed, and Rao Xueslow, who had been unwilling to make concessions in the main control, was still looking for "Bole" for his works, and he didn't expect that after going around in a big circle, the "Left Ear" project finally came into the hands of Huashang Media, which was founded by Li Mu.

Liu Siying said that she was optimistic about the project, and after a brief exchange with Rao Xue, she thought that this woman did have the ability to master her work.

"By the way, there is a girl named Chen Duling in Jinling University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the conditions are good in all aspects, you go and ask her if she has signed a contract with the company, if not, sign her to the company." Li Mu finally admonished.

Today, Liu Siying mentioned "Left Ear", Li Mu remembered that Chen Duling was here, and her career development in later generations was average, which was not originally the goal that Huashang had to sign, but now that Huashang Media wants to do the project "Left Ear", the heroine of the original time and space "Left Ear" can naturally sign in to the company by the way.

"Jinling University of Aeronautics and Astronautics?" Liu Siying can't figure out how this kind of university can be related to the profession of an actor, and where did the boss know this kind of information?

Li Mu explained: "Last year, Chen Duling won the championship of the "Goddess Ranking", I saw her photos on the Internet, and she looked very youthful and impressive. ”

Liu Siying nodded and agreed: "I'll send someone to contact you when I go back." ”

Li Mu finally added: "I think this girl is quite suitable for the heroine of "Left Ear". ”

"I see." Liu Siying responded.

……

After Li Mu hung up the phone, he found out that Liu Yifei was also talking to someone on the phone, Li Mu leaned over and sat next to him, and stretched out his ears to listen, and found that it was his mother-in-law Liu Xiaoli, and vaguely Li Mu also heard some words like "contraception" and "giving birth", and then he found that Liu Yifei's cheeks were flushed.

Li Mu smiled slightly, stepped forward and took a sip on her face, Liu made a disgusted expression and pushed Li Mu with her hand, but the more she pushed, the more Li Mu moved forward, and in the end, Liu Yifei really couldn't resist Li Mu, so he made trouble by his side.

Finally hung up the phone, Li Mu asked, "What's the matter with our mother calling?" ”

Liu Yifei rolled his eyes and said, "Knowingly, didn't you hear everything?" My mom and your mom both mean the same thing, wanting the two of us to have a baby sooner. ”

Li Mu hummed and didn't answer, but now Liu Yifei was in a hurry.

"What do you mean by 'um'? Do you want to have a baby? ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "How can you say that you will be born when you have such a big thing as giving birth to a child, you must practice it a thousand and eight hundred times before this." ”

Liu Yifei grabbed a pillow on the sofa and threw it on Li Mu's head: "Drill? I haven't heard of this thing and still use exercises, besides, how many times have you practiced over the years? ”

Li Mu pulled the person into his arms, then put away his cynical attitude and said: "Life must be born, otherwise who will inherit our big family business?" But not now, when "The Hunger Games 3" is finished, we will still shoot "Edge of Tomorrow", "Edge of Tomorrow" we both have to wear very heavy outer metal skeletons to film, in addition to your character has a lot of high-intensity action scenes, if you are pregnant, I definitely can't let you make a movie of this intensity in a pregnant state, so wait a little longer, the matter of having a child must at least wait until the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" is over. ”

Liu Yifei leaned on Li Mu's arms, and after listening, she first nodded, then looked up at Li Mu with a smile and said, "Since the two of us have set the goal, shouldn't we start the drill now?" After all, such a big thing, if you don't practice, you can do it directly, I'm afraid that I won't be sure when the time comes. ”

She was biting her lip as she spoke!

Good guy, who just heard Li Mu say that he smashed people with a pillow during the exercise?

In other words, what kind of exercises do you need for this kind of thing? Isn't that something that everyone does?

No, animals too, and they are born with it, and they don't need to be taught.

But this will naturally not argue with Liu Yifei about this, it's just a drill, and it doesn't hurt to "sweat a lot at times"! ”

……

Time soon entered January 2015, as "The Hunger Games 3" approached completion, the release cycle of the film "Fast Pursuit 2" finally came to an end, at this moment the box office of the film in the mainland has officially broken through the 1.1 billion yuan mark, and its overseas box office has also reached an astonishing 180 million US dollars, which means that the global total box office of "Fast Pursuit 2" has reached 360 million US dollars.

You must know that last year's Tom Tom's "Lost Battlefield" had a global box office of only $286 million, and "Fast Pursuit 2" had not yet been released, and the global box office had already been seconds Tom Cruise's investment of up to $120 million last year's Hollywood A-level investment production, which Wu Jing couldn't have imagined before, but things happened so easily.

"Huashang Media is a company that is good at creating miracles!"

In recent years, the Chinese people have almost reached a consensus on this issue.
