"My name is Harrison Ford."

"My name is Morgan Freeman."

"My name is Stallone."

The three stood side by side in front of Du Yongxiao, looking at the legendary Chinese boss.

Du Yongxiao was drinking coffee and looking at them.

The three people in front of them are all very young, at least much younger than the previous Du Yongxiao who saw them on the big screen.

Stallone, in particular, is simply a hairy boy.

Du Yongxiao didn't speak, and turned his head to look at Fox President Ryder, who was in charge of the interview together.

Ryder understood, picked up the information of the three of them and asked, "Harrison Ford, is it, you wrote it very clearly above, and you have a lot of acting experience." Oh yes, you were recommended by director Lucas, and I'm kind of old friends with him, so now I just want to ask you one question, why did you join Fox? ”

Hearing this, Ford adjusted his mind and replied, "I'm waiting for an opportunity." ”

"Opportunity?"

"Yes, you should know very well from my resume that I am a dispensable little person in most of my works, and even only one line, to be honest, I am now a carpenter by profession and an actor by amateur profession. But -——"

Ford looked at Ryder in a solemn tone and said, "I hope this situation can change, at the very least, to treat carpenters as amateurs and actors as professionals." ”

Ryder smiled, handed the information to Du Yongxiao and said, "What do you see? ”

Du Yongxiao took the information and glanced at Ford, "You are very good in terms of appearance and other aspects, so I am very surprised, why don't those film companies reuse you?" ”

Ford shrugged: "Perhaps, they're jealous of me." ”

"Hehe, you're humorous, Mr. Ford." Du Yongxiao smiled, put the information aside, and looked directly at Harrison Ford: "So now, if you join us Fox, what film are you going to shoot?" ”

"Uh, this -——," Ford shrugged, "I don't have a good script for the time being, yes." But I'm willing to obey the company's arrangement—"

"Obey the arrangement?" Du Yongxiao smiled and tapped his fingers on the table, "In this way, I just have a book here, called "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which belongs to the theme of tomb robbery and exploration, I don't know if you are willing to take over?" ”

"I do!" Ford excitedly said, "I love these kinds of movies, especially things like vampires, mummies, and tomb robbers!" ”

"Hehe, but this kind of scene will be hard to film."

"I'm not afraid!"

"Good! The spirit is commendable! Du Yongxiao nodded to Fu, and then gave Ryder a look.

Ryder picked up Ford's information, snapped, stamped it, and said to Ford: "Congratulations, you've been accepted!" ”

……

Stallone and Freeman watched with envy as Harrison Ford signed with Fox.

When Ford was over, he encouraged the two of them: "Believe in yourself, you can too!" Come on! ”

Ford leaves.

Ryder shouted, "Next, Morgan Freeman!" ”

"I'm here!"

Freeman hurriedly stood up and stood in front of Du Yongxiao and Ryder, looking calm, after all, he is also a professional, and he has not resigned yet to work in a TV station.

Ryder looked at the material: "You're still working at the TV station?" ”

"Yes."

"You've been starring in children's programs for four years, and you've played Mr. Good Reading for four years, so you should have some feelings for so long, why did you leave the TV station to join us at Fox?"

"It's because ......" Freeman paused, gritted his teeth, and told the truth: "The TV station is racist because I'm black, and they won't give me a raise." Yes, I work hard but I get very little pay. ”

"I'm not happy with the salary, so what do you want from Fox, especially in terms of salary?" Ryder looked at Freeman solemnly.

Freeman was stunned for a moment, "This...... I just want to be like everyone else, especially the white actors. ”

Ryder smiled and handed the information to Du Yongxiao, "It's better for you to ask." ”

Du Yongxiao nodded, took the information, glanced at it, and looked at Freeman again, with the impression that the most classic movie in the other party's last life was the black dad in the "Shawshank Redemption" adapted from Stephen King.

In this era, the route of black actors is very narrow, and they basically can't be the protagonists, what Denzel Washington in the future, what Will Smith, this is also the only few black superstars in Hollywood.

In fact, the reason why Hollywood launched these black superstars is also to balance the big screen and take care of those black audiences.

Therefore, even if Freeman joins other film companies, it is impossible for him to be the protagonist, at most he will be a supporting role.

"Mr. Freeman, first of all, I declare that I do not discriminate against race, and even in our Fox recruitment advertisement, it is written that everyone is equal and recruits meritocracy. But -——" Du Yongxiao changed his words, "you should also understand that being a black man has great limitations, and it is difficult to be the leading role, and the film company is likely to only arrange supporting roles for you for the sake of profit, are you willing to do so?" ”

Freeman hesitated, "I do." Because I know that I can't change this era, I can only adapt to this era. ”

Du Yongxiao nodded, "I'm very satisfied with your answer." But don't worry, Mr. Freeman, this is Hollywood, isn't it, where miracles happen. Even we Chinese can become kung fu superstars, and maybe one day you can also be the protagonist and win an Academy Award. ”

Du Yongxiao: This is not nonsense, the last Morgan Freeman won two nominations for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscar and Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Globe Awards for his performance in "Black Prison".

In 1989, he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of a loyal, honest, kind and brave old driver in "Driving for Miss Daisy".

And "The Shawshank Redemption" released in 1994 made him nominated for the Academy Award for the third time.

In 2005, he won the 77th Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for "Million Dollar Baby". In November 2010, Morgan Freeman received the American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Award.

It can be said that the black actor in front of him is the "award-winning master" among the black actors in Hollywood, and no one can surpass him.

When Freeman heard Du Yongxiao say this, he thought that the other party was encouraging him, and said very sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Du!" You are the first person to encourage me like this, no matter what my acting career is in the future, I will never forget your encouragement to me, thank you! ”

Freeman bowed deeply to Du Yongxiao and expressed his gratitude.

Du Yongxiao nodded at Ryder, who was on Freeman's profile, snapped, and also stamped with a big seal.

Freeman, admitted.

……

Stallone was extremely excited when he saw that all the two people who came with him were admitted.

As Freeman left, he patted him on the shoulder: "Come on!" ”

Stallone nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, definitely!" ”

"Stallone!"

"In!"

Stallone hurriedly stood up, with his hands behind his back, his chest up, like a sergeant, facing Du Yongxiao and Ryder.

Ryder looked at his information and frowned: "It says that you are a screenwriter, a director, or an actor?" ”

"Yes!" Stallone puffed out his chest, "I'm almost an all-rounder." ”

Ryder smiled and rubbed his nose: "But it shows that many film companies don't want you, and the box office of "Wild Boy" that you wrote, directed, and acted in is even more ...... I'm sorry, I'm too embarrassed to say that! ”

Stallone blushed: "That's because I didn't play well, if I was given a chance-——"

"How about giving you a chance?" Ryder interrupted him, "There are a lot of people in this world who don't have opportunities, and you're lucky compared to them, but unfortunately, you don't have enough ability, so you can't take the chances." ”

Ryder said and handed the information in his hand to Du Yongxiao: "What do you see? The implication is that he is not very optimistic about Stallone, and feels that the other party is a little arrogant and a little unclear about the situation.

Stallone became nervous and hurriedly looked at Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao took the information and looked at it a few times, and looked up at Stallone: "Have you ever shot a color blue film before?" ”

"Huh?" Sylvester Stallone was stunned suddenly, he has always regarded this as a stain on his life, and he never dared to write it on the information, how did the other party know?

Ryder also looked at Du Yongxiao in surprise, and then looked at Stallone.

As a filmmaker, he clearly knows that if an actor shoots that kind of movie, it will be difficult to turn over, after all, that kind of "art film" and the real "art film" are two extremes.

The others around were also surprised how Du Yongxiao could know these things.

No matter what, they all belong to the kind of people who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and immediately pointed at Stallone: "No, you dare to come here for an interview after making a small movie?" ”

"That's a lot of courage."

"That kind of movie is a shame, you have to be a pig!"

Listening to these sarcasm, for the first time, Stallone wanted to deny it.

He knows that a person who has made this kind of movie has no chance to go to the big screen.

But in the face of Du Yongxiao's blazing gaze, Stallone gritted his teeth, swallowed back the lie he wanted to lie, and said a little frustratedly: "Yes, that's right!" I've filmed! ”

"Why do you want to make a movie like that?" Du Yongxiao continued to ask, ignoring Stallone's embarrassment.

Ryder and the others looked at Stallone with a hint of disdain in their eyes.

Movies are also classified, and many people despise that kind of small movie.

Stallone's lips moved, and he said in a low voice, "For money." ”

"For money?"

"How much did you get paid for that play?"

Stallone didn't know what to say.

"Two hundred...... Two hundred dollars. ”

Du Yongxiao was surprised: "Two hundred dollars? ”

Ryder whispered to him and said: "This kind of movie is not popular, many of them are filmed by street technicians and bar warblers, and they don't have to be priced, let alone play actors......"

Du Yongxiao understood what Ryder meant, and looked at Stallone again: "So now I want to know, do you regret it?" ”

Everyone also looked at Stallone, guessing that he would definitely answer with regret, and then made a confession to Du Yongxiao, vowing to reform and film well.

But—

"I don't regret it!" Stallone's eyes lit up, looking at Du Yongxiao and cutting the railway, "Although the salary is very small, that drama has a plot, and through this drama, I have at least honed my acting skills!" ”

Stallone's voice landed-——

"Hahaha!"

Everyone burst out laughing.

Ryder also leaned back and laughed, feeling that this was the funniest joke he had heard today.

Only Du Yongxiao didn't laugh, handed the information to Ryder casually, and then looked up and said to Stallone: "Congratulations, you have been admitted!" ”
