China Entertainment started from Nortel 96

Chapter 319 This is my and Qi Wei’s child. You must be very disappointed.

In fact, Qi Wei and his party were not the only ones who went to the United States to visit Jet Li's home in Hollywood.

Boss Xiang and his wife from Yongsheng Film Company fulfilled their previous promise and also came to Li Lianjie's home as guests.

While Qi Wei was accompanying Zhou Huimin in Vancouver, they had already acted as lobbyists.

At this moment, Boss Xiang and the others were still at Li Lianjie's home, and Qi Wei also saw them.

Seeing Boss Xiang smiling and nodding towards him, Qi Wei knew that the matter was almost done.

After all, when Li Lianjie made trouble in Hong Kong and his agent was shot dead, he was finally able to save the day, all thanks to the help of Boss Xiang.

It's not too much to say I'm a benefactor.

As long as it's not too much, Li Lianjie will definitely give him face.

Of course, if things are to come true, Qi Wei and others will need to show sincerity.

After a few brief greetings, Qi Wei got straight to the point and said:
"Mr. Jet Li, I wonder if you still know the domestic film market."

Seeing Li Lianjie nodded, Qi Wei continued:

"Nowadays, the domestic film market continues to be sluggish and is in a critical situation that requires reform. As the saying goes, serious illnesses require strong medicine. We have worked hard to prepare "Heroes" just to try to change this situation.
It may be risky, but it must be done. The leaders above also know our good intentions and have given us unprecedented support. We cannot live up to the trust and expectations of the leaders, so "Heroes" can only succeed and cannot fail.

But making a movie is risky after all. "Hero" needs a superstar with international influence. When we were considering candidates, the first thing our leaders thought of was you, not Big Brother Long. This is also our invitation Your reasons.
As mainland filmmakers, this is our responsibility and our obligation. "

After hearing what Qi Wei said, Li Lianjie couldn't help but frown.

He finally understood the meaning of Qi Wei's words.

In order to better develop in Hollywood, Jet Li had changed his nationality at this time.

Although this is criticized, it is actually understandable.

At this time, the trend of worshiping foreigners and favoring foreigners was very strong in China, especially within the industry, and there were many people who changed their nationality.

Moreover, when he first started working in Hong Kong, his identity as a mainlander also brought a lot of inconvenience to Li Lianjie.

For example, when cross-strait relations were not normalized, movies starring Jet Li could not be released in the Bay Area.

The Bay Area was also the most important box office for Hong Kong films. This also led to the fact that no one in Hong Kong at that time dared to invite Jet Li to make a movie, except for leftist films that were close to the mainland.

In the early 80s, Li Lianjie became famous in Hong Kong with "Shaolin Temple", and his subsequent "Shaolin Boys" and "North and South Shaolin" achieved very good results in Hong Kong.

With the exception of Wanwan, these films have received very good responses in Southeast Asia.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Lianjie has a bright future, but it was not until cross-strait relations eased after the 90s that Golden Harvest dared to sign Li Lianjie to make a movie.

Being a mainlander did have a certain impact on Jet Li's film career, but in any case, Jet Li also became famous with the support of the mainland.

When you enjoy benefits, you must assume obligations.

Moreover, to this day, everyone still regards you as one of their own, and the first person they think of when there is a good project is you.

Although in Jet Li's opinion, "Hero" is not the best project.

But since the leaders think they are looking after you, no matter whether you think so or not, you have to give them face.

Unless you don’t want to return to China for development in the future.

Although Jet Li had many opportunities in Hollywood at this time.

But "Romeo Deadly", which really gave him a foothold in Hollywood, has only just been completed and has not yet been released.

Although everyone is very optimistic about this movie, the risk of the movie is high after all, and there is still a chance of being blocked before it is released.

His future in Hollywood is still unknown.

In this kind of situation, everyone will leave a way out for themselves, and Li Lianjie is no exception.

As long as he doesn't force someone to do something difficult, it's hard for him to refuse domestic movies.

After Li Lianjie thought for a while, he nodded and said: "As you said, this is my responsibility and my obligation. I have also read the script of "Hero". I like the characters and the story quite a lot. I also like it very much." I look forward to working with a well-known director like Director Zhang.”

At this time Li Lianjie's wife Li Zhi walked in with tea.

Seeing his wife, Li Lianjie quickly stood up and greeted her.

"You can leave these things to your servants. It wouldn't be good if you get fetal irritation."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. The doctor also suggested that I exercise more."

Li Zhi looks like a cold royal sister, but she speaks in the voice of a cute girl.

The soft whistling sounds really nice.

In addition, there is a kind of charm in every move she makes. Although she is pregnant and loses her sexy figure, she can still remind people of the saying "A thousand pounds of friendship is not worth a pound of breasts."

Li Lianjie immediately took the tray with tea, and then said to Qi Wei and others: "Everyone has tea."

Qi Wei picked up a cup of tea, watched Li Lianjie carefully helping his wife to sit down, and sighed with a smile:
"Mr. Li loves his wife very much."

"I believe Mr. Qi will do the same when he meets the one he loves." Li Lianjie replied with a smile, looking at Li Zhi with eyes full of love.

Then Li Lienjie said with an apologetic look: "During this period, I have a movie called "Romeo Deadly" released. I have to promote this drama. In addition, my wife is about to give birth, and I have to accompany her, so I am very sorry."

Qi Wei knew that Li Lianjie was not rejecting what he said, but bargaining, and replied with a smile: "We know that Mr. Li dotes on his wife, and we can understand this. If Mr. Li is willing to take over the filming of "Hero", we can make the project The start-up will be postponed to the second half of next year.”

Hearing this, Li Lianjie was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "How can this be so embarrassing?"

"It's nothing. For a movie superstar like Mr. Li, it's worth waiting for us." Zhang Weiping interjected, thinking that "Hero" was originally planned to start filming in the second half of next year.

These words made Li Lianjie fall into silence.

Qi Wei winked at Zhang Weiping, and Zhang Weiping understood it and continued: ""Hero" has investment from Hollywood and will definitely be released in North America in the future. We have abundant funds. If Mr. Li is willing to star, we can give you a movie that matches his worth. I don’t need you to give a friendly price for the film’s remuneration, what do you think of 300 million dollars?”

If "Hero" can be released in North America, it will be good for Jet Li to break into Hollywood.

When Li Lianjie went to Hollywood to develop, a very important reason was that the Hong Kong market could not bear Li Lianjie's high salary.

If he could be paid enough for the film, Jet Li would have no reason to refuse.

Li Lianjie's salary in "Lethal Weapon 4" was US$50. In the just-finished movie "Romeo", his salary increased a lot because he was the starring role, but it was only US$240.

"Hero" is a non-Hollywood film. In the current bleak situation in the domestic film market, it can offer a salary of 300 million US dollars, which is indeed full of sincerity.

With a salary of 300 million US dollars, he can make several literary films in the mainland.

Even Jet Li's wife was a little moved.

After she quit the industry, her business failed and she owed more than 8000 million yuan in debt. It was Li Lianjie who frantically took on roles to help her fill the hole.

It was also because she was moved by Li Lianjie's "sincerity" that she married Li Lianjie.

She really wanted Li Lianjie to make more movies and make more money. If she had money, she would also like to go into business.

She quickly advised: "I don't want me to be a burden to you. If you want to take on this movie, just do it. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and my children."

Now that things have come to this point, there is no longer any reason to refuse.

"Thanks to your appreciation, I am willing to star." Li Lianjie felt a little embarrassed again, and continued: "I know it is not easy for you to make a movie. There is no need to give you a salary of 300 million US dollars. Just like "Romeo Deadly", you can give me 240 A thousand-meter knife will do."

Slightly discounted.

You must know that "Romeo Deadly" was a hit after its release, which allowed Li Lienjie to completely establish a foothold in Hollywood, and his salary also ushered in a crazy increase.

When filming "Kiss of the Dragon" in 2001, his salary reached 750 million US dollars plus profit sharing. In 2001, the salary for another film "The Savior" rose to 1000 million US dollars.

If Jet Li had been invited after "Romeo Deadly" was released, the salary would not have been so cheap.

This is a big bargain.

"No problem, I wish us a happy cooperation." Qi Wei agreed immediately.

Afterwards, Zhang Weiping took out the contract that had been prepared. After Li Lianjie's lawyer checked that there were no problems with the contract, the two parties immediately signed the contract.

After reaching the cooperation, both parties were very satisfied. Christmas was coming soon, and Li Lianjie and his wife invited Qi Wei and others to spend Christmas together.

But Qi Wei and others declined.

Qi Wei is going back to Vancouver to spend Christmas with Zhou Huimin and his children. As for Zhang Weiping and Lao Mouzi, they have to negotiate with investors in Hollywood.

And Qi Wei was dragged along by them before returning to Vancouver.

"Now you can tell me who in Hollywood wants to invest in our film."

Zhang Weiping laughed twice, and then said with a mysterious face: "Mr. Harvey Weinstein of Miramax Pictures."

Good guy!It turns out to be this liar!
Qi Wei immediately remembered who this person was, and thought that it was lucky that he followed him, otherwise they would have been deceived and become lame.

Qi Wei suddenly felt a little lucky and thought about how to negotiate next.

During the two days that Qi Wei was in Hollywood, she really couldn't stand Wang Zuxian's constant teasing, so Leslie Cheung finally took her to Zhou Huimin's residence.

"Brother, you're back, thank you for your hard work."

After all, he is the godfather of his child, and it has been snowing and cold outside these days. It was Zhang Guorong who took the initiative to invite Ying out for shopping, so Zhou Huimin was very polite to Zhang Guorong.

"Brother, you don't need to buy so many things every time. The child is still young and she can't use these." Seeing Zhang Guorong come back with a lot of things, Zhou Huimin shook his head and smiled.

"It's okay. This is all my wish. It doesn't cost much anyway. I just want the baby to remember that she still has a godfather who loves her."

At this time, Zhou Huimin also noticed Wang Zuxian holding large and small bags behind Leslie Cheung.

"Hey, why is it you! Why are you here!" Zhou Huimin said with a surprised look.

Wang Zuxian and Zhou Huimin have never collaborated.

Wang Zuxian became famous relatively early. Although she occasionally sang on shows as a soul singer, she mainly worked as an actor and made movies.

Zhou Huimin is just the opposite. Although she has made movies, she mainly works as a singer and sings albums.

The two of them didn't have much interaction.

But after all, they both hang out in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, so just because they don't have many interactions with each other doesn't mean they don't know each other, not to mention they have a lot of friends in common.

Just like Zhang Guorong in front of him.

Just when Zhang Guorong was about to speak, Wang Zuxian, who put down her large and small bags, patted the snow on her body and explained with a smile: "It's like this, I plan to live in Vancouver for a long time, and I was looking at houses recently. I didn't expect to meet my brother in the supermarket.
It's a coincidence that the house I'm interested in is nearby. I didn't expect you to live here, so I wanted to pay a visit. After all, I'm in a foreign country. It's nice to meet acquaintances. It shouldn't disturb you. You"

Zhou Huimin glanced at Zhang Guorong, who quickly turned his head away, which made Zhou Huimin laugh helplessly.

After all, her relationship with Qi Wei is somewhat shady. The less people know about their affairs, the safer they will be.

Since they all came to visit, they were guests, and Zhou Huimin definitely couldn't turn them away.

"No, it's very cold outside. Come in first." Zhou Huimin welcomed Wang Zuxian in.

After entering the house, Wang Zuxian saw a stroller placed in the living room, and there were baby clothes knitted by Zhou Huimin on the sofa. Traces of the baby's life could be seen almost everywhere in the huge villa.

In addition, Zhou Huimin had gained a lot of weight because she had eaten a lot of nutrients for the baby in her belly, and she couldn't immediately return to her original shape after giving birth. You could tell what was going on with her plump appearance.

"What are you looking for?" Zhou Huimin asked with a smile as she saw Wang Zuxian looking around after entering the house.

"Hehe." Wang Zuxian laughed twice awkwardly, and then said, "I heard from my brother that you just gave birth to a baby. I'm just curious about how the baby looks like."

Hearing this, Zhou Huimin couldn't help but look at Zhang Guorong.

Wang Zuxian quickly explained for Zhang Guorong: "Don't blame my brother for talking too much. I discovered the clues and lied about it. Don't worry, I will keep this a secret."

Then Wang Zuxian asked excitedly: "Where is the baby?"

To be honest, Zhou Huimin didn't want to show the baby to outsiders for the time being, but at this moment a servant ran out of the baby room.

The servant shouted: "Madam, the baby is awake."

And everyone also heard the sound of the baby crying in the nursery.

So Zhou Huimin could only say to Wang Zuxian: "My baby is awake. I have to take care of her first. If you are curious, you can follow me in."

After disinfecting with alcohol and wiping clean with a towel, Wang Zuxian followed Zhou Huimin into the baby room.

In the baby room, the baby was crying wildly, but as soon as she saw Zhou Huimin, her crying stopped abruptly.

Seeing her daughter's mouth squeaking, she knew she was hungry, so Zhou Huimin quickly lifted up her clothes and started feeding her.

After eating and drinking, the baby who had just woken up was still not sleepy. She looked at Wang Zuxian curiously with her big eyes.

"She is so cute, can I give her a hug?" Wang Zuxian said with a motherly tone.

"Yes." Zhou Huimin nodded, and then handed the baby to Wang Zuxian.

Leaving the warm embrace of the mother and entering the embrace of a stranger, the baby did not cry even though he was a little uncomfortable.

"She's so sweet."

Beautiful babies are adorable, but before Wang Zuxian could finish her words, she suddenly felt a warm stream of water on her chest.

The baby peed in Wang Zuxian's arms.

"Sorry, sorry, I have clothes in the room. If you don't mind, you can change into my clothes first."

As she spoke, Zhou Huimin began to help the baby clean.

"It's okay, the baby peed, it's normal." Wang Zuxian forced a smile.

Although the father of this child is annoying, and although the behavior of peeing in my arms is also annoying, Wang Zuxian just can't dislike the baby.

After watching Zhou Huimin's skillful movements in helping the child, after being silent for a long time, Wang Zuxian finally asked:
"Is this your and Qi Wei's child?"

Hearing this question, Zhou Huimin couldn't help but look at Wang Zuxian.

"Yes, this is my and Qi Wei's child. You must be very disappointed."

"Huh???" Wang Zuxian had questions on her head.

　I'm busy these days, so I'm helping out with a wedding reception at a friend's house. I'm sorry, but I'll update it normally in the future, and I'll find a way to make up for it.
