Big names rise

Chapter 443 Finalizing the role

York is an agent of WMA (William Morris), a well-known American agency, today he took the initiative to ask Jon, the executive president of Lionsgate Films.

William Morris has the same status as CAA in the United States. They are the two top giants of Hollywood brokerage companies. The Chinese stars signed by CAA include Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Wu Yusen, Zhang Yibai, etc. William Morris also has business in China. China's top actress Zhang Ziyi and the new generation's strongest actress Liu Yifei have both signed contracts with the company. Many people in China may have heard of this name because Liu Yifei signed with this company after she starred in "The King of Kung Fu". Such a good Liu Yifei has almost disappeared in the past two years.

In addition, the company also has Natalie Portman, Mel Gibson, Michael Bay and other big-name clients in the entertainment industry. If Datang has done his homework well, he should know Zheng Zhixun (rain) who is one of He Mu's competitors. ) also signed a contract with this big company, Zheng Zhixun can be the male number one in his first Hollywood work, William Morris contributed a lot, and York is wma's agent in charge of Zheng Zhixun's Hollywood business, the previous film "Ninja Assassin" did not make Zheng Zhixun a big hit in Hollywood, and it is not even as good as Lee Byung Hun's White Ghost in "Special Forces", but this "Cold Heart" is still relatively good, and Lionsgate is a relatively reliable company , James Wen is also a director with a certain appeal. Although he is the second male lead, this movie is worth fighting for. As for the adaptation of a Chinese blockbuster movie, York directly ignored it.

In order to get this role, York has worked hard.Not only learned the general content of the script from inside Lionsgate, but also found out that Zheng Zhixun has a strong opponent, that is, He Mu, the male lead of the original Chinese film "Glass Heart".Moreover, he also learned that this He Mu was recommended by Jeff Stanley, a senior executive within Lionsgate, and the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

York knows that Jon hates using power for personal gain the most, so the stern and ruthless Robin Binance is highly valued by him. He thinks this is a good entry point for him. If he is really allowed to find Jeff He Mu was recommended because of personal reasons. I don't know if He Mu will be kicked out directly.

As a result, York really found out that Jeff's wife was a Chinese.Moreover, he and He Mu were born in the same place, and after further investigation, it turned out that Mrs. Jie and He Mu were siblings.Jeff is He Mu's brother-in-law!

After learning about this relationship, York approached Jon before taking Zheng Zhixun to the audition, wanting to have a "good chat" with him, and inadvertently revealed the story that Jeff and his brother-in-law had to tell.really.Jon frowned when he heard it, and he seemed to be struggling, wondering if he was struggling to get rid of Jeff, a guy who eats inside and out, haha.

I have to say that there are such people in the world who like to harm others and benefit themselves. York is one of them. He doesn't even know Jeff, but if he sees Jeff's bad luck, he will definitely go to the wine and drink two glasses of congratulations.

Seeing that Jon had been tapping his fingers on the table, York reminded him. "Mr. Philheimer, I don't know how I bring Rain to the audition this afternoon. I hope this role will be reserved for him. You may not know that Rain has a very high popularity in Asia, whether it is Korea, Japan or China. There are a large number of his loyal fans and movie fans, if he chooses Rain, he will definitely bring this movie a very considerable overseas box office, especially in Asia."

Jon stopped knocking on the table, his eyebrows stretched, and he stared straight at York, "I'm sorry Mr. York, I don't think Rain is suitable for this role, so I want to say sorry to you, I'm afraid we can't cooperate this time gone."

"What, what did you say!?" York thought he heard it wrong. Why did Jon say that suddenly? He didn't even give Rain a chance to audition. Could it be that what he just said was for nothing, Jeff Star Does he not care about using power for personal gain?Could it be that the relationship between him and Jeff is already so good, but as far as he knows, the two are just ordinary subordinates, and sometimes they quarrel so that people outside can hear, "What's going on? Son, who can tell me?"

Jon leaned back in his chair, "As far as I know, Mr. Rain of your company is Korean, right?"

"That's right, he is a top star in Korea, and he is also a top-tier idol in Asia. The TV series he starred in have broken many ratings records in many Asian countries..." York was referring to "Full House", and it was already at this time He did not forget to brag for Zheng Zhixun.

Jon stopped the eloquent York, "If I remember correctly, Korean adult men are required to serve in the military, so may I ask Mr. Rain to serve in the military?"

"Uh, this, not yet, but Jon, you don't have to worry about affecting the filming progress of the film. I can guarantee that he will not join the army for at least next year. This time is enough to complete the filming of the film." York promised, military service It is a hurdle that every Korean star must go through. Many first-tier stars directly drop out of the third line after recovering. Of course, they can also give up Korean nationality like Liu Seung-joon, but not everyone is lucky enough to be appreciated by Jackie Chan.

"Mr. York, I understand your feelings, but Rain is really not suitable, and I don't have to hide it. The company plans to make this "Cold Heart" into a series. The status of the male lead is equal to that of the male lead. It can be regarded as a double male lead." mode, if Rain is serving in the military when we want to shoot the second and third parts, then our shooting plan will be delayed, which I don’t want to see, so after learning that Rain has not yet served in the military, he has already He was excluded by us, and it was Mr. Jeff you mentioned just now who reminded me, if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t know that South Korea has this law.” Jon rejected York in an unquestionable tone, but he didn’t know why Intentionally or unintentionally, he sold Jeff.

When York was about to leave the office with resentment towards Jeff, Jon handed him a newspaper on his desk, "Look on the way to relieve boredom."

York has been busy helping Rain pave the road recently, and has no time to care about entertainment news. He was angry and didn't want to accept this newspaper, but he glanced at him inadvertently and saw He Mu and the governor. How did they get together? , his curiosity was aroused, he took the newspaper, and then Jon made a gesture of please.

After sending York away, Jon's smile stopped abruptly. It was also the first time he knew why Jeff was so strong against He Mu. To be honest, he was very angry. He felt that he was played by Jeff, but at this time he had to I chose He Mu, because He Mu has already become popular in the United States, and now the discussion about him on the Internet is very lively. Many people hope to see the performance of this "Chinese giant" on the big screen. If the filming speed is fast If He Mu can reach the height of Jackie Chan, maybe "Cold Heart" will become a blockbuster like "Rush Hour", and by then It was Lionsgate that benefited the most.

From the perspective of the company's interests, Jon endured it this time and decided to use He Mu. After swallowing the breath in his chest, Jon called Robin Binsain, "Hey, Robin, Jeff Did he and his brother-in-law come to your place?"
