Los Angeles, in an office building.

On either side of the round table room, several people were seated.

Van Diesse was in the middle of several people, holding a thick stack of papers in his hand and looking at it carefully.

There was some silence on his face.

After a long time, he suddenly asked: "Jack, I chose to cooperate with your company out of trust in you before, but now that you have changed your mind temporarily, you still have to give me an explanation for this matter." ”

The man in the suit sitting opposite him seemed to have some guilt on his face.

However, he also forced a smile, and then explained: "Mr. Van Diese, please accept my apology."

In fact, the temporary change of hexagram is not the result we want, but the current you and the characters in the script are really a little different, and you also know that the protagonist in the script, Michael Schofield, is a completely different image from you.

Of course, we also want you to play another important role in the script. ”

Van Diesel shook his head: "The reason why I chose you is to come for the protagonist, I told you all at the time, but now you are doing this to me, please forgive me for not being able to accept it."

Maybe as any actor, I don't think it would be possible to accept your apology. ”

The man was a little helpless when he heard this, and personally poured a glass of brandy for Van Diese, and then lit a thick cigar to accompany the smiling face.

"Mr. Van Diese, in fact, we are really sincere, if it were to change to another script, I think our director would also turn a blind eye.

But the drama 'Prison Break' is different, and the hard work our company has put into it is huge, so there must not be the slightest flaw.

If it doesn't match the characters in the script, then the effect must not be the best, you are a very professional actor, just like the speed and passion of your shooting last year, if the characters deviate from the script, it is impossible to create the final result, right?

So I think you should understand what I said, in fact, other roles are also very suitable for you, and there are a lot of scenes, if you can, we are willing to continue to invite you to participate in the same salary, do you think this is okay? ”

Van Dyse thought for a moment.

To be honest, he didn't mean to entangle too much with the other party.

Of course, this matter was not his fault in the first place, and it was impossible to suffer a loss.

After all, the male number one in front of him was eventually replaced by someone else, and it is certain to say that he is unhappy.

And this is the first time he has chosen to shoot this kind of ultra-long episode that is different from the movie.

He has read this script several times, it is very exciting, the rhythm in front is as fast as the movie, he knows that as long as he finishes filming it seriously, the results of this drama will definitely be very explosive.

So he's something you really don't want to see, and the cooked duck just flies like that.

It's just that with a respectful attitude towards film and television and this job, he also knows that he is really not suitable for the male lead in the play from appearance to personality and the character dramas he has performed all year round.

So only one step can be sought.

At this time, the other party said that he could use the same salary to let him continue to participate in other roles.

Van Dyse thinks it's still acceptable, at least it's okay to make a lot of money.

Somewhat relieved.

But at this time, he wanted to complain about Su Mu a little in his heart.

Originally, this drama was chosen by Su Mu for him, and there was another movie, but he gave up the movie and chose the TV series, which is in his trust in Su Mu.

It's just that it seems to be a little off from the prediction, and the process is not smooth.

He was a little skeptical that Su Mu was making fun of him.

But now it's already difficult to ride a tiger, and if you want to quit at this time, you won't be able to get anything.

Van Diese threw the papers on the table.

did not immediately respond to the plan given by the other party, but changed the conversation and asked about another thing.

"Okay, since you've all said that, then I can think about it, but before I answer, I'm a little curious, who are the male number one you want to choose?

If I'm not suitable, I'm also curious to know what kind of actor is suitable, Hollywood? Or something else......"

Hearing Fan Diese's words, several people on the other side smiled slightly bitterly.

The middle-aged man sitting next to him was the first to speak.

"According to the director and producer, what they want to find is an actor with a lot of popularity and commercial value.

Of course, this is just one of the conditions, and more importantly, on the basis of conforming to the prototype, it is best to be able to expand the TV series 'Prison Break' to overseas, so it is best to have some international influence, of course, it is okay if you don't have it, we are confident that we can radiate this TV series to the world.

This is a new challenge, in previous years, it was a movie competition, and long dramas were not taken seriously because of the low cost, maybe this rule should be changed. ”

After hearing this, Van Diesse smiled: "So, can I know who you are?" ”

The man nodded: "It's okay, I can tell you Mr. Van Diese, at present, there are about three people we have locked, one is the one who once played the 'Clash in the Line of Fire' war movie, Qilu Russell."

The other is the male protagonist who played the "Walfon Newspaper", Dimdevich.

The last one is, the Bronch. ”

After hearing the three candidates.

Van Diesse withdrew his gaze.

Then he silently looked at the contract in front of the table, and then nodded.

If that's the case, then he still has some approval.

If the other party changes three actors who are inferior to him in terms of strength, status and popularity, then Fan Dissay will definitely not have a special balance in his heart.

But he knows almost all of the actors given by the above three other parties.

Qilu Russell is one of the most famous Oscar winners in Hollywood, compared to Will Johnson, who filmed Shadow Man, this one is more senior and has strength.

Perhaps the commercial value is slightly inferior to the other two.

But the acting skills should be the most powerful.

The second place, Dimdevich, is one of the most commercial Hollywood movie stars in recent years, having made a lot of special effects blockbusters before, and there is also a trend of dominance this year, with a salary of up to 70 million US dollars.

This is definitely a popular actor in the current box office market.

And the last one is not an actor from the United States, but a person from the Great Britain next door.

Although it is not local, its popularity is still quite good, at least Van Diesse is ashamed of it.

The other party has shot several highly influential films, which are profound and sought after.

So if these three people want to take his place, Van Diessay is still convinced.

But I don't know how,

When he saw the names of these three people, he unconsciously drifted through the name of another person in his mind.

If he had come, would it have been interesting?

Van Diesse remembers a phone call he had with not so long ago.

He seems to have said that he would introduce him to business.

"If you can't get the male number two, just introduce a male number one to act casually......

At that time, he still felt that such outrageous words could be said?

But at the moment, the more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes.

Van Diesse suddenly became interested, he looked up at the man in front of him, and then spoke:

"Okay Jack, thank you for your answer, since you said so before, then I agree, for the same salary, I can play other roles."

"That's great!"

When the other party heard this, they seemed very happy.

Van Diesel continued: "But let's be honest... If you look for these three big actors, they may not be able to agree, after all, movies are the big screen, am I right. ”

The man nodded.

"I know what you mean, but we also want to try our best to communicate with them as much as we can, and it would be nice to have one of them.

After all, it is indeed a little difficult to play the role of the male protagonist of "Prison Break", and we are trying our best to screen, but the requirements are too high, you have also read the script, and you need to have a lot of skills in it.

Otherwise, it is difficult to interpret perfection. ”

Van Dyce smiled: "Jack, I won't tell you, in fact, I have a good candidate, of course, I only recommend it to you, choose you or not."

But I dare to guarantee this person, he definitely has the strength to perform well, so it is better to add him to the screening ranks, and then you will investigate and investigate. ”

"Oh?" When the man heard this, he was a little curious: "Mr. Van Diese wants to recommend an actor to us, so I don't know which one?" If we could, we would be perfectly receptive to this suggestion. ”

Van Diese's expression became mysterious, and then he pointed to himself: "Have you seen my speed and passion last year?" ”

"Yes."

"In addition to me, there is another person, oh yes, there should have been a lot of news about him recently, that is the actor from Huaxia, Su Mu."

“！！！”

“？？？”

…

…

…

The days of filming are always fast, and before you know it, it's February again, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon.

It's the same as always.

During this year's Spring Festival, Su Mu, Qian Jida, Xiao Tangzi and Master Zhu were still together.

And it's the same business trip and can't go home.

But the situation is different now.

At that time, even if I was in a different place, at least I was still in China, which was a bit of a New Year's flavor.

But now in a completely new environment, I can't even eat dumplings.

And there is also a new challenge, which is in front of several of them, that is, the development of Su Mu in Hollywood.

Now that you have come out, you must not go back 'empty-handed'.

The responsibility on Su Mu's body now is actually far greater than before.

Fans in China are watching.

However, in this new environment, a lot of things have to be reinvented.

Even in the Spider-Man crew, he won some applause and media praise.

But that's just a splash.

If you want to really stand on the same level as those international celebrities, there is still a long way to go.

Su Mu was also mentally prepared, he didn't think that just one Spider-Man and a few deadly stunt shoots could be recognized by the entire market.

Even in China, it was through a large number of works that he gradually won his current top status.

Now that we have come to the other side of the ocean to open up the wasteland, we need to walk steadily step by step.

So he was not in a hurry, and as soon as he achieved a little success and recognition, he asked Qian Jida to find someone to operate and create momentum.

This kind of thing is flashy, and it's okay to play in China, but in Hollywood, it's not very practical.

in the hotel.

Qian Jida poured himself a glass of boiling water, and drank it in small sips while looking at the information in his hand.

This is the channel through which he has met in recent months, either indirectly or directly, on the Hollywood side.

There are Hollywood investors, people from film and television companies, and some big brands and celebrity banquets.

These are all business sectors that Sumu will expand in the future.

As a qualified broker, it's natural to plan ahead.

When filming your current job as an artist, you have to think about the next step in advance.

For example, after the filming of Spider-Man is completed, how will Su Mu use the popularity and momentum brought by the Spider-Man movie to help him develop his follow-up business, and even how much the commercial value will be improved, and what kind of endorsements can he receive in the United States... Etcetera.

After all, I came here to make money.

If you can't maximize the benefits and make more money than at home, then it will be meaningless to cross the ocean.

The purpose of going international is to go to the top of business.

After all, the international top class, and the top Chinese class, the endorsement fee is not the same.

Of course, in addition to the above, how Su Mu received the second play is also a key issue.

Qian Jida looked at the email, and then smiled: "Recently, there have been a lot of invitations to you in China, do they think that after filming this year, you will definitely go back next year?" Looking at it like this, I'm not optimistic that you can stand firm in Hollywood. ”

On the sofa, Su Mu was eating fruit and shook his head indifferently: "If you don't take it, unless you know it, you won't go back to anything else." ”

Qian Jida: "Director Wang Wei has approached you. ”

Su Ting nodded: "I promised Director Wang Wei before to write a good script for him, but I forgot about it recently." ”

Qian Jida: "Then what's the matter?" ”

Su Mu: "It's okay, the script is already there, and when the price is negotiated, just send it to him when the time comes." ”

Qian Jida nodded, and then his eyes were weird: "What about Fang Yuzhi?" People have also sent you WeChat a few times, I have seen them all, so you are not ready to ...... Hey. ”

Su Mu sighed helplessly.

If you want to say that the most difficult thing in this world, except for double-sided tape, it is women.

In the past few months, Fang Yuzhi has often sent him WeChat messages, although the language seems to be more appropriate.

But between the lines, there is still a feeling that I want to linger with you, and then prostitute your talent for nothing.

Su Mu naturally couldn't give the other party this chance.

Anyway, if you want a script, you can, just talk about money.

We're talking.

Su Mu's phone suddenly came with a message.

He looked down and saw that it was Van Diese, but the content was a little surprised.

[Van Diese: Su Mu, Spider-Man is almost finished, have you already begun to show sadness, and you don't know where your next drama should be?

Haha, as a friend, I'm here to help you out!

The male number two can't help you get it, but the male number one has a chance to compete, do you want to try? ]

Long.

[Su Mu: No, I'm going to go to Hawaii for half a year.] ]

[Vin Diese: NO!] Sumu! Dont！ please!]

[Su Mu: It's okay, then add money to me when "Furious 2".] ]

[Vin Diesse: Brother... I recommend you to play the male lead in "Prison Break", you can't do this to me......]

[Sumu: (乛乛) Oh? ]

[Vin Diese: Really!] ]

[Su Mu: Elaborate.] ]

[Vin Diese: ......]
