Entertainment starts with variety shows

Chapter 635 Huaxia people will never be so useless
Cheng Long said before that he would introduce Hollywood to Fang Jing. During this period of time, he has been paying attention to whether there are any major Hollywood productions. Until recently, Leonardo, the little plum, had an itchy hand for a while, invested and acted as a producer, and wanted to make a movie.

It was already afternoon when Fang Jing arrived, so he didn't go to meet people right away, but changed into a decent suit after taking a shower.

Arriving at a high-end restaurant, Xiao Lizi was already waiting for him. When we met, Fang Jing greeted him and introduced himself.

"I didn't expect your English to be good, it's beyond my expectation." As soon as the words came out, Xiao Lizi felt something was wrong, and changed his words, "I mean your education, alas, it's not..."

Fang Jing waved his hand and said with a smile, "I know what you mean, it's okay."

The moment he got Fang Jing's information, Leonardo couldn't believe it. A person who graduated from junior high school could become the boss of a party in the entertainment industry. In his opinion, it was impossible.

Here, in many cases, birth determines many things.Only in China did so many miracles happen.

Seeing Fang Jing staring at him, Leonardo was curious, "Mr. Fang, what do you want?"

"Haha, it's okay. When I was a child, I watched your movie, Titanic. I have always liked you very much. I didn't expect to see you in person today."

Speaking of Fang Jing, he also talked about cat and mouse. In these two dramas, Xiao Lizi is really the beauty of the prosperous age, with the pinnacle of beauty, who has fascinated countless people.

Success is also good-looking, and failure is also good-looking. Just because he is handsome, he has accompanied the Oscars for more than ten years in film and television. It was not until the past few years that he abused himself crazily, filmed movies, mental illness, lunatics, and 180 catties greasy uncle. Oscar statuette.

The picture of holding a water gun and revealing flowery underpants under the big pants was taken after a scene.

Xiao Lizi was very happy to hear someone praise him. He knew that Fang Jing was a very popular entertainer in Huaxia.

"Thank you, I've heard your song too, it's very nice."

The two chattered about business, and the interpreter next to Xiao Lizi couldn't sit still, worried that Fang Jing couldn't understand English, so she was invited by Xiao Lizi to be an interpreter.

But now it seems that she is not needed at all, just sitting and making money without moving.

The two chatted for a while before they got down to business. Xiao Lizi handed out a file folder to Fang Jing, "Mr. Fang, the film I'm going to shoot this time is called The Origin of Robin Hood. Here's the information. Take a look."

Hearing the title of the film, Fang Jing was taken aback, he didn't expect it to be this movie.

Xiao Lizi has made a lot of films in the past few decades, and has served as a producer many times. It is impossible for Fang Jing to remember all his works, but the origin of Robin Hood has a deep memory.

Without him, this should be the only work that Xiao Lizi won the Golden Raspberry Award in his career. Like the Golden Broom Award in China, the Golden Raspberry Award is awarded to bad film directors and bad film actors.

Bite the bullet, Fang Jing picked up the folder and looked at it. Sure enough, like the previous life, this drama is about a soldier who came from the battlefield to resist evil.

What made his scalp tingle was that the protagonist, relying on a bow and arrow, insisted on killing the enemy on their backs, one for a hundred, which was comparable to the domestic dramas of the past few years.

Fang Jing watched, and Leonardo said excitedly: "I plan to gather actors from many countries to shoot this film. I believe it will be a very good work."

"If you want, I will let you play the role of the protagonist's master of bow and arrow in the film. You are very good at Huaxia martial arts. Maybe you can add a play and let you teach some martial arts to the protagonist."

After a long time, after closing the folder, Fang Jing took a sip of coffee to calm himself down. After reading the outline of the story, his first reaction was that Xiao Lizi must have watched many domestic dramas.

The protagonist's skills are comparable to Yan Shuangying's, but he pretends to be slightly inferior in kung fu.

Returning the folder to Xiao Lizi, Fang Jing told him some lines seriously, such as don't point the knife at me, or I will let you see your brains and so on.

"Wonderful!" After listening, Xiao Lizi slapped his thigh, "Tell me again, do you have any good ideas..."

With a single brain, Fang Jing instilled all the magic drama into him, the more he listened, the brighter Lizi's eyes became.

"Mr. Leonardo, I'm very glad to meet you, but I can't act in this play."

"Why?" Xiao Lizi, who was excited, was stunned. "Didn't we have a good conversation? Is it because of the investment relationship? This can be discussed."

"No no no!" Fang Jing waved his hand. "It's not about the money, it's just that this movie is not suitable for me, and the Chinese market for this kind of movie is also very small."

What divine drama have the common people in China never watched?As far as the origin of Robin Hood is not as exciting as Yan Shuangying's, he really acted, and he must not be scolded to death for broadcasting.

The first foreign film was a bad film, and it will be difficult to turn around in the future.

Lao Mouzi, who is as strong as a national teacher, made three or four movies in Hollywood in a row. Since then, no one has asked him to direct, and he ran back in despair.

"That's a pity, Mr. Fang, I think you are really suitable for this role. You can think about it and give me an answer in a while."

"Sure, thank you!"

After exchanging phone numbers and mailboxes, Leonardo left, leaving Fang Jing alone in the restaurant, neither of them talked about money.

After Leonardo left, Fang Jing sighed and rubbed the center of his brows. He got off to a bad start, and encountered Xiao Lizi's career as a producer in the first film.

Not in a hurry to return to China, Fang Jing continued to stay in the hotel, he still had to wait for a director.

In the past two days, Xiao Lizi distributed several emails to him, hoping that he could play one of the roles, and those who brought money into the group dropped from the initial 700 million US dollars to 500 million.

Fang Jing politely refused, but still did not let go, this matter had to be let go.

In the evening, Cheng Long came to the United States, Fang Jing went to pick up the plane, and the two went to meet the great director Quentin, the one who had filmed Kill Bill.

Quentin also has a movie to start shooting, called Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, in which there is a character that is very suitable for Fang Jing, that is Li Xiaolong, a martial artist from the far east.

In this play, it is a walk-on, and it will be defeated in two or three hits.

After the meeting, Quentin euphemistically suggested that Fang Jing needs to invest 3000 million US dollars to get this role, and the shareholding is not a normal shareholding, but a little less.

"Fang Jing, what do you think?" Cheng Long blinked and motioned for him to agree.

Once upon a time in Hollywood is a big production, the largest investor is Sony, and the film team is also strong. Currently, the tentatively selected starring actors are all Hollywood superstars, and there are even Oscar winners.

Working with such a team, it doesn't make sense for Fang Jing not to be popular.

3000 million US dollars is not much for South King, when it buys a ticket to step into Hollywood, besides, this movie may still make money.

After reading a part of the script, Fang Jing held back his anger, took a deep breath and said, "Money is not a problem, but I need to change the role of Bruce Lee."

In Quentin's script, Li Xiaolong has a 5-minute scene in which he is portrayed as a three-legged cat who knows kung fu and a movie star, who is easily defeated and his face is sitting under his buttocks.

Not to mention the defeat, but jumping up and down after losing, unconvinced, what he showed was an arrogant, bragging, flamboyant fool.

Any Chinese person can't stand it.

"No!" Quentin tilted his legs and shook his head while smoking a cigar, "The script cannot be changed."

"Then there's no need to talk about it. Don't talk about posting money. I won't make this kind of movie for how much money I get."

Seeing Fang Jing suddenly got up to leave, Cheng Long frowned, "What's going on, can't we talk about it?"

"Look at this scene." Fang Jing pointed him to Bruce Lee's scene.

After watching it for a few minutes, Cheng Long was furious and looked at Quentin angrily, "This scene must be changed. It's not that Li Xiaolong can't lose, and the Huaxia people are the same, but they will never lose so uselessly, and he is not this kind of person. "

Cheng Long knew Li Xiaolong in the early years, and seeing him being insulted in the movie, he couldn't accept it.
