Meiyu: I don’t care about the cost when making movies

Chapter 192 Relax

Although Li Lianjie has now starred in "Son of the Dragon" and "Wanted" as the starring role, they have just not been released yet.

But action movies and action movies are different.

Luc Besson is a great director, but he is nothing compared to Wayne today.

Of the many movies Wayne invested in and produced, which director was worse than Luc Besson?
As for giving Yuan Baye the opportunity to direct movies in Hollywood, let alone that.

There was no way the two of them could refuse such an offer!
"No problem! I'll go back tonight to arrange things, and book a flight back to China tomorrow morning!" Yuan Baye took a deep breath, put his hands on his knees, and was the first to express his position.

Li Lianjie no longer hesitated and said quickly: "I will be with Yuan Baye tomorrow!"

"Then I'll just wait for the good news from you two~"

A satisfied smile appeared on Wayne's face.

Huo Wenxi's own abilities are very outstanding, and China is still in a period when Hong Kong movies are rampant and Hong Kong stars are superior to others.

If she serves as the CEO of the new company and brings over Nicholas Tse, Zhang Jiahui, and Twins, the new company will immediately become famous.

By then, with the addition of Li Lianjie, an international superstar, the new company will directly become the largest agency in domestic entertainment.

As for whether poaching Nicholas Tse and the twins, who are currently popular, will anger the Emperor.

Not to mention Wayne, even Yuan Baye and Jet Li were not worried at all.

After all, the two of them are not trying to make ends meet by pointing at the Emperor. With their current status, let alone offending the Emperor, they can still get along well even if they offend the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry.

After all, the pond in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is really too shallow.

Without any delay, after leaving Wayne Manor, Yuan Baye and Li Lianjie explained to their apprentices and managers respectively, and took the earliest flight to Xiangjiang together the next morning.

Although Yuan Baye knew Nicholas Tse, he had little contact with Nicholas Tse, so he contacted Nicholas Tse through his old friend Xie Suan, and contacted Huo Wenxi through Nicholas Tse.

Huo Wenxi, who was helping Twins with their concert at the time, thought Nicholas Tse was joking when she learned that the famous Yuan Baye wanted to meet her.

As a result, when she actually saw Yuan Baye and his companion Li Lianjie in the teahouse, she was shocked when she learned their purpose.

Due to environmental constraints, the Hong Kong film and television industry has always been targeting Southeast Asia and Hollywood.

Like mainland China and even the whole world, they have always been proud of being able to break into Hollywood.

Therefore, as an agent, Huo Wenxi also knows about Hemera Pictures and Wayne, even more than Nicholas Tse, an actor and singer.

Only this made her even more unbelievable.

"Ba Ye, you are saying that Mr. Wayne, the new Hollywood superstar and tycoon, and the Hearst Group, the world's third largest media group, plan to jointly establish an entertainment company in the mainland, and they asked me to be the CEO of the new company. ?”

"Yes."

"Why?" Huo Wenxi couldn't help but exclaimed: "I mean, how could such a big shot notice me?"

Hearing this, Mr. Yuan Baye smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know about this. Maybe Mr. Wayne has seen the works of your artists. Mr. Wayne not only wants to poach you, but also wants you to bring Nicholas Tse, Twins, and Zhang Jiahui These people will also be brought over. In addition, Li Lianjie and I will also be named in the new company."

Although Huo Wenxi still felt very incredible, he finally accepted it.After all, Nicholas Tse and Twins are now very popular in Hong Kong and domestic entertainment.

Among them, Nicholas Tse is one of them, but the twins were discovered and cultivated by her herself.

This is undoubtedly a testament to her vision and ability.

"Of course I am personally happy to accept Mr. Wayne's invitation." Huo Wenxi said after thinking for a moment.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.

Although the Emperor treats her quite well, if she continues to work, there is a great chance that she can advance to a few more levels in the future, but that is only a possibility, and she doesn't know how many years she will have to struggle.

Besides, although Emperor's size and influence in Hong Kong are pretty good, there is no comparison at all with the new company backed by Wayne and Hearst Group.

So as long as she's not stupid or crazy, she knows what to choose.

"But those artists under me"

"I have talked with Xie Shan before. He will pay the liquidated damages of Nicholas Tse. As for the liquidated damages of Twins and Zhang Jiahui, the new company will bear them."

"Then it's fine!"

Huo Wenxi immediately smiled.

In fact, the liquidated damages of Twins and Zhang Jiahui at this time were not high. The total amount was only 240 million Hong Kong dollars. When converted into US dollars, it was almost negligible for Wayne.

Mainly for Nicholas Tse, the liquidated damages are not exaggerated, but they still require 600 million Hong Kong dollars.

Now Xie Sui pays directly, which saves trouble.

Yes, at this time she has already brought her thinking from the perspective of the CEO of the new company.

Because she was so excited, she even forgot to ask about her new treatment.

Next, Yuan Baye and Li Lianjie, who had dealt with Huo Wenxi, did not immediately report the good news to Wayne. Instead, they found many old friends to drink tea and chat.

The result was that two days later, Wayne received a call from Yuan Baye.

In addition to Nicholas Tse, Twins, and Zhang Jiahui, who were originally scheduled, there were also several more big stars that he was familiar with in his previous life.

Among them, Yuan Baye was very optimistic about Wu Jing, and specifically asked him to star in a movie and two TV series, but in the end he still failed to make a name for himself in Hong Kong.

He was equally optimistic about Yuan Baye and recommended Zou Zhaolong to star in "The Matrix 2 and 3".

Simon Yam has worked with Jet Li and has a good relationship with him.

There is also Cecilia Cheung who is still just friends with Nicholas Tse and got the news from Nicholas Tse.

As for Huo Wenxi's other artists, although they also received the news, since Wayne didn't call them out, Huo Wenxi naturally understood what he meant, so he didn't bring them along with him.

Even though there are two well-known singers, Rong Zuer and Gu Juji.

At the same time, because there were so many people, this incident also spread in the entertainment circle of Xiangjiang, and even people in the mainland got wind of it.

But facing Wayne, the dragon crossing the river, it was useless even if they had any thoughts.

It is worth mentioning that Liu Tianxian and Zhang Ziyi are also preparing to sign with this new agency.

Among them, Liu Tianxian was arranged by him. After all, this was a golden money tree.

Zhang Ziyi, on the other hand, took the initiative to call after hearing about it from a friend, and Wayne did not refuse.

"Hi, Auntie Anne, I have good news for you. The CEO has been selected, and there are several actors and singers with good potential who will join the company."

After confirming the situation from Yuan Baye, Wayne turned around and called Anne Hurst to tell Anne Hurst the good news.

"Your actions are really fast, so have you thought about the name of the company?" Anne Hurst asked.

"Let's call it Lighthouse Entertainment~" After thinking hard for two days, Wayne finally named the new company half seriously and half as a joke.

"Well, I thought you were going to use the name 'Wayne Entertainment'."

Later, Wayne told Anne Hearst Huo Wenxi's contact information, and then Anne Hearst would send someone to communicate with Huo Wenxi about the formation of the new company.

At that time, the company's financial director will be someone from Anne Hurst.

Wayne will send people to serve as the director of the film and television investment department and the deputy director of the artist department to indirectly control the company's film and television investment direction and the selection and signing of artists.

Huo Wenxi is responsible for the company's daily operations and management, including the artist management she is most familiar with.

In other words, Wayne is only responsible for using his experience in his previous life to sign in those potential stocks. As for training and management, Huo Wenxi is responsible for it.

Although under such a division of power, Huo Wenxi's power is a little smaller than that of an average CEO.

But for her who is only 29 years old now, this is already very satisfactory to her.

"Sir, it's time, the car is ready."

"Okay, Meda."

Wayne got up and took a car with Hannah to the company.

During his 'retreat', auditions for "Heidi and Grandpa" have been completed, and the filming of "The Ring" has officially started the day before yesterday.

But he didn't even attend.

But today is the day that the 19-day post-production of "Dog Hotel" is completed.

Since the starring roles are Lily Collins and Camilla Belle, both of whom are relatively young, it should be regarded as his least promising work.

In addition, Nancy Meyers offered to invite him to take a look, so he agreed and was preparing to bring the recently completed script of "The Intern" to Nancy Meyers.

Although Nancy Meyers has emphasized several times that she needs to take a good rest for a while, the script can be read first, and the project can be prepared in advance.

This time was equivalent to an internal movie viewing, so when Wayne and Hannah arrived, there were only a few starring actors in the screening room except Nancy Meyers, Sierra, and Mia.

"Hi Wayne!"

Lily Collins couldn't help but her eyes lit up as soon as she saw Wayne, and she ran over excitedly.

No way, I have been busy filming a movie. After filming, I have to go back to school to make up for classes. At the same time, I have to go to acting instruction classes every day to prepare for the next "Heidi and Grandpa".

After all, she hadn't seen Wayne for almost two months.

"Why didn't you come to your audition for "Heidi and Grandpa" the day before yesterday?"

"Because I believe you can pass the audition."

Wayne smiled and touched her head.

The little girl suddenly felt like a kitten, and she narrowed her eyes comfortably. The little resentment in her heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Then he said hello to others, and then Wayne was surrounded by everyone and came to the front row to sit down.

As the lights went out, the film officially started playing.

To be honest, compared to the original 'Sister Andy' played by Emma Roberts, Camilla Belle's role fit is slightly worse.

Camilla Belle looks a little too soft, especially when she smiles.

Relatively speaking, the widowed sister is undoubtedly more suitable in terms of image.

It's just that at that time, the widowed sisters had already gone to Europe to film "The Rescue".Wayne didn't want to waste this role, so he had to choose Camilla Belle.

Fortunately, her acting skills are not bad. As long as we don't compare it with the original version, it doesn't seem to be inconsistent.

On the other hand, Lily Collins's performance in the film is quite outstanding. I don't know if it's the 'newbie halo' or the role of the acting coaching class.

In addition, in terms of directing ability, Nancy Meyers completely crushed the original director Thor Freudson. At least in Wayne's view, this version of "Dog Hotel" surpassed the original version in almost all aspects , the box office and reputation should not be bad.

"How was it, Wayne? How did I do?"

After the play ended, Lily Collins couldn't wait to ask him before the lights came back on.

"Well, not bad, it seems that my vision is still as good as ever~"

"Yeah! That's great!"

The little girl immediately cheered with joy after hearing this.

Seeing this, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief and smiled unconsciously on their faces.

"So when will the movie be scheduled?" Mia asked from the side.

"Just tomorrow." Wayne said without thinking.

It doesn’t matter which day it is scheduled for, even if the major publishing companies fly over overnight, they will never miss it.

"So are you going to attend?" It was Nancy Meyers who spoke this time.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to attend. The filming of "Wedding Crashers" will officially start tomorrow." Wayne explained apologetically.

"But I believe our movie will definitely sell for a good price~"

Then Wayne talked to her about "The Intern" again, and with a helpless smile on her face, he handed the script into her hands.

Afterwards, Wayne left the company in the car without stopping and headed to Malibu.

Tomorrow he will be filming again, so of course he needs to relax.

For this purpose, he specially rented a seaside mansion with a private beach in Malibu, and called all the models in the "back garden" over for a real beach swimsuit show.

As for the audience, he did not invite Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire, only himself.

Of course, even with his enhanced physique, it is impossible to achieve one-on-one success.

So after writing down all the numbers that didn't fit his aesthetic, he prepared to go back and eliminate them.

He finally chose the 7 most beautiful people, together with Adriana Lima, Karolina Korkova, and Alessandra Ambrosio, who had just been recruited not long ago, and came to the scene. In-depth communication with one against ten.

Crazy all night long.

Early the next morning, when Wayne had breakfast and took a refreshing car to the filming set of "Wedding Crashers", he also arranged for Adriana Lima and the three of them to stay in a hotel on Loxbury Street. Villa No. 11.

This made the other seven people envious, and they secretly vowed to work harder in the future.
