Chapter 515: The Age of Light and Shadow Artists Are a Sensation

In a hotel in Hengdian, executive suite.

"Daniel, there aren't many actors in this Alien Prequel."

"The two leading actors are confirmed, the cyborg David and the heroine Vicx."

"The rest of the cast is mainly the crew of the Prometheus, as well as the members of the expedition team."

"By the way, there's also Peter Willan, the owner of the spaceship business, and his daughter."

"To be honest, this project is quite sought-after."

"Actors such as Carey Mulligan, Olivia Wilde, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, James Franco, Ben Foster and others are on the cast list."

Wu Yuan tapped his head while listening to the narration on the other end of the phone, and only then did he ask, "John, can David and Vicx be sexually transferred?" ”

"Is it that cyborg is changed to a female setting, and the heroine is changed to a male protagonist?"

"Unlikely." John firmly refused: "This is a birth work about how the alien was born, and the heroine is the first human to be parasitized by the alien. ”

"The character of David is also very important, and his gender also has a special meaning in the story and cannot be changed."

"This is a very complex movie, Fox has great ambitions, race, technology, religion, philosophy, and the meaning of life, and the screenwriter stuffed a lot of things into it, many of which have to be conveyed through the gender of the male and female protagonists."

"Therefore, the male and female protagonists cannot be changed."

"To be honest, I'm not really optimistic about this movie, and the reason why Fox used this movie to work with us is probably because they themselves don't have enough confidence in this movie."

"There are so many things that the screenwriter wants to say, but the length of the movie is so high."

"There's a good chance that you'll end up making a movie that's not as good as it could be."

Wu Yuan frowned, he did have some ideas, and he wanted Liu Yifei to play the transformed David.

David is a cyborg, and according to the background of the script, it doesn't matter if it's an Asian face.

But it seems that David's "male appearance setting" is very important to the screenwriter.

Yes, in the script, David is a "neutral person", there is no gender distinction, but the appearance is male.

"Well, I respect Fox's opinion." Wu Yuan thought for a while, and had no choice but to say, "Then the crew of the Prometheus, you can always give us a few places, right?" ”

"I want to stuff one or two Asian actors in."

"You know, now how much Huaxia is yearning for good docking, sometimes I have to give some friends favors."

"I don't have high requirements, just one man and one woman."

"That's fine." John on the other end of the phone patted his chest and reassured, "There are a lot of crew members on the Prometheus, and it's normal to have a few Asian faces. ”

"Even among the members of the scientific expedition team who follow the protagonist to land on an alien planet, one or two Asians can be arranged."

"After all, Weyland, which built the Prometheus, is a large international company, and it's normal to have Asian employees."

"Then it's settled." Wu Yuan smiled with satisfaction, "I will confirm the actor as soon as possible and report it to you." ”

"OK, then wait for your news."

Hanging up the phone, Wu Yuan let out a long sigh.

It's a pity, if you can give the role of "David" to Liu Yifei to play, it will definitely be a perfect opportunity.

"Prometheus" has a second sequel, and "David" is the undoubted protagonist.

Liu Yifei has not yet had the opportunity to play the absolute protagonist in Hollywood.

Although she is a female in "Interstellar", the actual role can only be regarded as a large supporting role, and the main roles are focused on the male protagonist "Cooper".

"Prometheus" is a reboot of the alien universe, if she can be stuffed into it as the protagonist, it will really make her become another Chinese superstar in Hollywood, and become Cheng Long's second in the real sense.

It's a pity that Fox can't make David sexually turn female, and the heroine Elizabeth Shaw sexually transforms into male.

As for the heroine Elizabeth Shaw and the second female number Wix, that is, the role of the boss's second daughter, it is impossible for an Asian actress to play these two roles.

It's too difficult for Asians to have just the right role in Hollywood.

"Maybe you can stuff her into the X-Men?" Wu Yuan touched his chin and pondered.

In "X-Men: Future Reversal", Fan Xiaopang played Blink flashing, which was a waste.

"X-Men: Future Reversal" is a movie produced by Twentieth Century Fox, and now Light Times and Fox have reached an investment cooperation of 20 films, and Wu Yuan has the ability to stuff Liu Yifei into the X-Men.

And with him behind him, Blink can have more flashing scenes, and he can continue to appear in the follow-up "X-Men: Apocalypse".

Although the international influence of the IP of the "X-Men" cinematic universe is far less than that of the Marvel MCU cinematic universe, the North American audience still eats this IP very much.

Fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders!

With this matter in mind, Wu Yuan was not in a hurry to talk to Fox immediately, anyway, "X-Men: Future Past" may not start filming until the second half of next year, and he is not in a hurry.

He took out his mobile phone, flipped out Li Xiaoping's phone first, and called.

"Hey, Mr. Li, I have good news."

"My company at Hollywood cooperated with Fox to invest in a movie that is a sequel to the Alien IP, with a production cost of nearly $200 million."

"This film needed two Asian characters, a man and a woman."

"Fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, I plan to use the company's artists."

"You put the news out in the company's artists."

"Let them fight for themselves, and let them know that signing in our company can go straight to the dock, and we can give this benefit in China."

"Well, you can look at the specific things."

After speaking, Wu Yuan hung up the phone with a smile.

It's a scheme.

He believes that as long as the news spreads within the company, the artists who signed a contract in the light and shadow era will definitely be loyal to the company in the future, and other companies can't dig it if they want to!

This is an opportunity to go to Hollywood to invest $200 million in blockbuster movies!

Is there any other company in China that can give it?

The most awesome Huayi and Bona are just a few Sino-US co-productions, Sino-French co-productions, and Sino-Korean co-productions!

This kind of co-production is said to be a co-production, but in fact, it is just to invite a foreign director, and then the film is released in the mainland, which is no different from domestic films.

The only company that can really send domestic actors to sea is Light and Shadow Era!

In the past, it was just the actors in the circle who were speculating and rumoring that Wu Yuan had the ability and opportunity to push Chinese actors into the Hollywood market.

But for a long time, only Liu Yifei has really gotten this kind of opportunity, and many insiders also think that this is just a cake that can't be eaten.

But now it's different, Wu Yuan really threw out two opportunities to star in Hollywood's blockbusters.

This news stirred up the entire era of light and shadow!

The contracted actors under the company, no matter what they are doing, no matter how busy the work at hand is, they all put down as soon as possible, set the nearest fastest mode of transportation, and rushed back to the head office of the Light and Shadow Times in Beijing!

This role, they have to get their hands on! (End of chapter)
