Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 373 It's You
Originally, Mel Gibson wanted to give the other party an impression that he was very polite and sensible, but he didn't expect that they would not give him this opportunity at all.

"Hi, I'm Mel Gibson, you can just call me Mel."

Mel Gibson came to Lin Daoqiu and Kars and introduced himself to them.

"My name is Carls, the head of Warner Bros. in the Asia-Pacific region. This is Mr. Lin Daoqiu, the screenwriter of "Mission Impossible."

Mel Gibson originally thought that Carls was the screenwriter of "Mission Impossible", and Lin Daoqiu was just his follower.

But he never expected that this ridiculously young guy was the right one. For a moment, Mel Gibson froze in place, looking at Lin Daoqiu motionlessly as if he had been acupunctured.

It is no exaggeration to say that the guy in front of him is definitely younger than himself, and Mel Gibson is even doubting whether Lin Daoqiu has arrived.

If only Lin Daoqiu had met this time, Mel Gibson would have been very suspicious of him, and maybe even thought Lin Daoqiu was a liar.

Fortunately, Kars was by his side, which made Mel Gibson a little more at ease, but he still couldn't accept that the young guy in front of him turned out to be the screenwriter who won last year's box office champion. This is really incredible.

"Mr. Mel, please sit down."

Finding Mel Gibson staring at him in a daze, Lin Daoqiu didn't think there was anything wrong, but Kars next to him almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

"I'm sorry I'm not..."

Mel Gibson felt that it was impolite for him to stare at the other party like this. He wanted to explain, but Lin Daoqiu raised his hand and interrupted him.

"It's okay, you're not the first to look at me like this, and you won't be the last."

Lin Daoqiu has long been used to it, so he doesn't care about these things at all. What he cares about is whether Mel Gibson can play the role in "The Mummy" well.

Mel Gibson was relieved when he heard that, and he secretly warned himself not to let these things affect his future. If he lost a chance because of such a trivial matter, he would regret it to death.

"The reason why I invited you here today is because Mr. Lin has a movie. He couldn't find a suitable actor for a while, so he wanted to see if you were the right candidate."

Mel Gibson was very calm when he heard it, but he was already happy in his heart. He is just a newcomer who has made two films, and those well-known producers don't like him at all.

Originally, he thought that he would have to stay in Hollywood for a while before he had the chance to be spotted by these well-known producers, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.

"This movie is an adventure action movie with a production cost of about 2000 million US dollars, so if you are suitable for the leading actor in this movie in the end, I hope you will practice martial arts and martial arts within a month. action."

Mel Gibson has also watched "Mission Impossible" before, so he knows that the martial arts scenes that Lin Daoqiu's film needs are definitely not comparable to other Hollywood movies.

Those action scenes where you punch and I punch you are basically not seen in Lin Daoqiu's movies, so the other party's request is very reasonable.

Not to mention that he is a rookie now, even if Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything and asked him to go to the devil training for a month, Mel Gibson would probably agree without even thinking about it.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, if I can pass, I will definitely exercise hard within a month, and I will definitely meet your requirements."

Mel Gibson looked in awe of Lin Daoqiu, and at this moment he looked like a very humble and gentle young man.

But no one could have imagined that after he became famous in later generations, he would cause a lot of nonsense.

In the end, he was banned from Hollywood for ten years because he said a bad word. It can be said that his golden years were ruined by his own words.

But now he is still a very sunny and cheerful young man. If he didn't say it, he would have thought he was 30 years old.

"I'm fine."

Lin Daoqiu actually decided to star Mel Gibson in this movie before he came here, although his current acting skills are still far behind that of his later generations.

But "The Mummy" is just a commercial movie, and it doesn't have high requirements for acting skills. The special effects and action scenes in it are the most attractive parts, so as long as Mel Gibson can practice his skills well, it will be fine.

Mel Gibson originally thought that the other party was going to audition or something, and he should at least look at his own acting skills before making a decision, but he didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to choose himself as the leading actor so easily, if he heard correctly.

"Congratulations, Mel, and welcome to the crew of The Mummy."

Although Kars was also surprised, but since Lin Daoqiu said so, the leading actor of "The Mummy" has already fallen on the head of Mel Gibson who is still in a daze.

…………

When leaving the coffee shop, Mel Gibson couldn't believe what he had encountered today.

He quickly touched his pocket and found that the note was still there, which made him heave a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for the phone number Lin Daoqiu left for him in his pocket, Mel Gibson would have thought he was dreaming.

"Although I admire him very much, I think to be on the safe side, you should let him try out the mirror and so on. Would it be too hasty to settle so quickly?"

Carls hoped that Mel Gibson could star in "The Mummy", but when Lin Daoqiu really nodded, Carls began to worry again.

He misunderstood whether the other party let Mel Gibson play the leading role because of his relationship. If that was the case, then he would rather Lin Daoqiu take back his previous promise, and he was even willing to explain the situation to Mel Gibson himself.

But when Kars proposed this idea, Lin Daoqiu just shook his head with a smile.

"Don't worry, this movie is really suitable for him, and it's a commercial movie, as long as the other person is handsome enough and moves well enough, other things like fame don't really matter."

It was Lin Daoqiu who dared to say such a thing. If it were other Hollywood directors or producers, they would definitely give priority to famous actors in such a big-budget movie, and they would definitely not use them lightly. a newcomer.

Kars looked at Lin Daoqiu for a full minute before he shook his head.

"I really don't know what kind of person you are. If he fails in acting, don't look for me."

"Don't worry, if he fails in acting, I will make up for it from you, such as asking you to work for me for a few years."

After Kars listened to Lin Daoqiu's words, he looked at each other in astonishment, but soon he and Lin Daoqiu laughed almost at the same time, causing other guests in the coffee shop to look sideways.
