"Okay, I'll let Ah Er pick it up, and the other party will come. Huo Dongjun said to Zhang Wulang: "If you haven't met, you are called friends?"

"My old friend Liu Jiarong called me to take care of it, by the way, it's also famous, the leading actor of the Shaolin Temple trilogy, Li Lianjie and his wife, you should have heard of it. Zhang Wulang said on the phone.

Huo Dongjun paused and said, "Li Lianji?"

"It's him, I'll hang up first, wait for the start of work, wait for the end of the work I will invite him to eat and catch the wind, you are also together, everyone is Chinese, of course you must unite when you come to Hollywood to live and eat." Zhang Wulang hung up the phone after speaking.

Huo Dongjun called the second head of the sect and asked him to pick up people at the airport, and sat back at the round table in the office after explaining clearly, and Huo Dongjun let out a sigh.

The earth is really small, Li Lianwei came to Hollywood to start work?

As a movie fan who has watched countless action movies in his previous life, Huo Dongjun's understanding of Li Lianjian may surpass Bruce Lee or even other kung fu stars, without it, the previous life "Shaolin Temple" was too impressive, and Huo Dongjun ran to learn kung fu because of the influence of this movie.

It's not that he didn't want to contact Li Lianjie to make a film when he was in Hong Kong, but he didn't know what happened to the other party, and he no longer cooperated with Hong Kong directors and film companies since "North and South Shaolin", so it was rumored that "North and South Shaolin" director Liu Jialiang and Li Lianjie had a bad relationship, which made Li Lianjie have prejudices against Hong Kong filmmakers.

At that time, Le Yiling helped Huo Dongjun sort out the news that Li Lianjie made a "Chinese Hero" as a director himself, but even the schedule in Hong Kong has been delayed again and again, so Li Lianjie finally went to Shenzhen with his wife to open a martial arts hall to teach apprentices and no longer make movies.

In less than a year, he stopped opening a martial arts gym and came to the United States? Now it is indeed popular in the mainland to go abroad, but is it too exaggerated that a famous mainland actor like Li Lianjie also went abroad.

The conversation at the round table has become David Fincher and Rob Cohen criticizing Don Simpson for Tom Cruise, but Don Simpson always thinks that since he can mention Charlie Cin, he should also give Tom Cruise a chance to audition.

"I agree with Mr. Don Simpson. Huo Dongjun knocked on the table, interrupted the argument of the three of them, and spoke.

Although Huo Dongjun has not participated in the discussion, he said that both the producer and the director must consider his opinion, without it, this movie is paid for by this Hong Kong person, and he has the right to choose the actor who thinks it meets his taste.

Rob Cohen rolled his eyes: "Sir, I don't think you know, you probably know that Top Gun is a blockbuster movie, but that movie is more like a model evolutionary ......"

"Please, Rob, you don't have to use such sharp words. Don Simpson interrupted Rob Cohen: "Tom is a hard-working actor, he works hard.

"It's not because he's working hard doesn't mean his acting skills, there are enough actors in laundry shops, coffee shops, and fast food restaurants around Hollywood, but they are still serving dishes and doing laundry, in fact, if "Top Gun" that you are producing is replaced by Charlie Sheen, I think it would be better. Rob Cohen said with a smile to Don Simpson

Seeing that the two were about to argue about acting skills again, Huo Dongjun said: "Do we need acting masters for this movie? No, we need an idol, an idol that young people like, driving a beautiful car, and beautiful women**, I even Mr. Don Simpson said that Tom Cruise is very suitable, I personally like the movie "Top Gun". ”

After speaking, Huo Dongjun stretched out his hand and looked at David Fincher and Rob Cohen.

Rob Cohen stopped talking, and David Fincher said, "Okay, let Brandt contact Tom Cruise to send an invitation." ”

Brandt is the casting director for the film.

Huo Dongjun doesn't necessarily have Tom Cruise to make this movie, it's just that he knows too little about Hollywood stars, Tom Chris is one of the movie stars he can remember by name, not to mention that now Tom Cruise has just become popular, the salary is not so exaggerated, 1.5 million can be handled, but Charlie Sheen's salary is as high as 3 million US dollars, if you really want to use this Charlie Cruise, it is likely that it will be overspent in the later stage.

Hearing Huo Dongjun open his mouth and be willing to let Tom Cruise audition, Don Simpson showed an excited expression on his face, he is the owner of a film company, and he is very aware of the various factors that film companies consider when investing in films, in such a commercial film, Tom Cruise has more advantages than Charlie Sheen, plus the investor spoke, as long as Tom Cruise does not lose his brain, it should be a certainty that he will play the starring role, in terms of idol image, Johnny Depp, Charlie Sheen, are not as influential as Tom Cruise, a "Top Gun", Getting more young people in the U.S. to serve in the military than in previous years is the charm.

In the evening, Zhang Wulang rushed over from Burbank and took Huo Dongjun with him to pick up the wind for his friend Li Lianji, whom he had never met.

chose a Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles, the two arrived almost at the same time as the head of the second teacher, and Li Lianjie and his wife, and met outside the restaurant, Huo Dongjun looked at the opposite Chinese action superstar in the previous life, at this time his face was still a little immature, and he seemed to be younger than himself, in fact, Li Lianjie was twenty-five years old, but that baby face made people often ignore the age of the other party, as if he had stopped forever at the little monk Jueyuan who practiced martial arts hard in the Shaolin Temple.

On the contrary, Li Lianji's wife next to her looks more mature, and her spirit is a little sluggish, maybe the journey on the plane is too hard.

Huo Dongjun did not rush forward to shake hands with the idol of the previous life and take a photo, but looked at Zhang Wulang, Zhang Wulang smiled and stretched out his hand to Li Lianyu: "Li Lianji, I am Zhang Wulang, we talked on the phone, and we worked hard all the way." ”

Li Lianyu shook hands with Zhang Wulang very affectionately, and said to Zhang Wulang in Mandarin: "Fifth brother, thank you for arranging someone to pick me up." ”

"Little things. Zhang Wulang stretched out his hand and introduced Huo Dongjun: "This is Ah Jun, Huo Dongjun, the owner of Hong Kong Dongyi Film Company, who happened to be in the United States recently, when I heard you coming, the two of us came to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

"Hello, Mr. Huo, I'm Li Lianji. After listening to Zhang Wulang's words, Li Lianyu smiled at Huo Dongjun and stretched out his hand to shake it, but his tone was not as affectionate as Zhang Wulang, with a trace of alienation.

Huo Dongjun thought that the other party had only kept a sense of distance because he had never met him, and he didn't care: "I have long wanted to see Mr. Li, but I have never had the opportunity."

"This is my wife, Huang Qiuyan. Li Lianjie introduced his wife beside him.

After Zhang Wulang and Huo Dongjun greeted Huang Qiuyan, several people entered the restaurant.

After Zhang Wulang and Li Lianyu chatted, Huo Dongjun knew the relationship between Zhang Wulang and Li Lianji, Zhang Wulang had a good relationship with Liu Jiarong of Liu's class, and even learned a few hands of Hong Boxing with Liu Jiarong when he was in Hong Kong, and although Li Lianjie had a bad relationship with Liu Jialiang, he had a good relationship with Liu Jialiang's younger brother.

Zhang Wulang poured wine for Li Lianyan and Huang Qiuyan, Huang Qiuyan hurriedly excused herself, and Li Lianyan picked up the wine in front of her wife and drank it for her, and apologized to explain to Zhang Wulang that Huang Qiuyan was pregnant.

Huo Dongjun was a little bored during the whole meal, and Li Lianjie was intimate with Zhang Wulang, but he always seemed to be a stranger to himself, and he would occasionally say a few words, which made Huo Dongjun wonder where he had offended the martial arts champion.

Since he was not welcomed by Li Lianji, Huo Dongjun also left the table early.

He can see the confidence in Li Lianji's eyes, I am afraid that he wants to be the second Bruce Lee when he goes to the United States this time, but Huo Dongjun shook his head in his heart, not everyone can be Bruce Lee in the eyes of Americans, and even if it is Bruce Lee, it is the unfavorable development of the United States, and he will rise again after returning to Hong Kong.

In Hollywood, it is more difficult for a yellow actor with no fame or professional training to get a performance opportunity than a white actor who adapts to a café, and when the ambitious Li Lianjian realizes that the city in front of him is not the city of dreams, he may want to talk to himself.

Don Simpson went to France to inspect the filming location, Rob Cohen, David Fincher and the two continued to pull Huo Dongjun to entangle the heroine's problem, in order to avoid trouble, Huo Dongjun's original script designed the snakehead and the heroine to be Japanese, after all, now Le Yiling is studying co-production TV series in the mainland, and it is better to leave some sensitive negative news to Japan.

Rob Cohen's opinion is to let Brandt go to the Screen Actors Guild to find a beautiful Asian actress, of course, his so-called beautiful enough is in line with the aesthetics of American men, Huo Dongjun hopes that the actress signed by Dongyi will star in the role, for example, he thinks Lan Jieying is good, she is the one who has really learned acting among the current female artists in Dongyi Company, and although she has some problems with her personality, she is serious enough to start filming movies, at least she looks professional, and he has seen Rob Cohen's pickiness about actors in the past few days, Therefore⊥ Hong Kong even faxed Lan Jieying's photo.

The current disagreement is here, David Fincher and Rob Cohen think that Lan Jieying does not conform to American men's fantasies about the opposite sex, whether in terms of height or appearance, it is difficult for American men to think that she is beautiful enough, Rob Cohen is even afraid that Huo Dongjun must have Lan Jieying as the heroine, and even talked to Huo Dongjun about American men's aesthetics of the opposite sex:

"Mr. Huo, I don't know how Asian men appreciate women, but in the United States, the first condition, a woman's breasts and buttocks must be angry, she can not be beautiful, but she is confident enough to show her gender characteristics in front of the camera, plump, confident, and knows how to use body language to show her sexiness, which can arouse a man's appetite. ”

Huo Dongjun rubbed his chin and the beard that came out slightly, the actresses of Dongyi Company literally met Rob Cohen's appetite, only Zhang Le and Qiu Shuzhen, Zhang Le was more in line, and Qiu Shuzhen was slightly worse.

David Fincher took out a document and said to Rob Cohen and Huo Dongjun: "The reference given by Marff Olivia, I think this Miss Kelly is good. ”
