Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 188: Hangover is also a good item
after a while.

Lao Li was still mixing Chinese herbal tea in Li Jiaxin's lounge when Ah Xin received a new text message and was surprised to say, "Sister Xian brought Nazha to play with me."

"Do you think we should give her a try by giving her the chance to play Huang Rong in The Condor Heroes?"

"She has to make money even if she has nothing to do, which means you don't charge her for cosmetic surgery. Otherwise, how can she afford the medical bills?"

Joey Wong and Nazha? ?
It's normal. When they don't know how to continue renewing their payments and treatment, Joey Wong and other veteran actresses.

What I want to do most is to take care of Shi Guang’s children, or to grab various roles to gain his favor.

It’s just that Lao Li himself doesn’t pay attention to most projects.

That virtuous lady has temporarily regained her beauty and successfully slimmed down her face, but her cheeks will continue to grow fatter as she gets older.

Li Wenyu 100% believes that traditional Chinese medicine is normal medicine, just like other stars who go to Korea to get injections and have to take them all year round.

If Joey Wong took on the role of Huang Rong, it was definitely not possible for her to receive Ah Xin's salary of 60 per episode.

Old Li smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll go upstairs and continue making the herbal tea. You can bring it down when you go to test the bed tonight."

Ah Xin was amused. "Should we sign Sister Xian to the company as well? She'll be 38 next year, and we want to maintain her youthful appearance."

"I can still be a hard laborer for many years."

Old Li was speechless.

After a few seconds of silence, he started to walk outside and said, "Go discuss this with Fatty Bing."

Even He Qing has started wearing stockings and skirts in an attempt to sneak up on this young man. In order to maintain her beauty for a longer period of time, this wise lady is sorry that she was not familiar enough with him before.
As we get more familiar with each other, we will find that she is probably a crazy aunt.

What are women willing to give up in order to become and maintain their peak beauty?
Look at Yang Mi, a little girl who dares to use a big knife decisively.

…………

A new day, December 12th.

Old Li arrived at the Andingmen headquarters and just took the elevator to the 15th floor, he saw Huang Xiaoming, Deng Xi, Jin Dong, Wang Kai and others walking out of the waiting area in the corridor.

All were greetings.

Lao Li calmly waved his hand, "No need to be polite, come with me to the office. I'm working on a new project today and plan to collaborate with a major Hollywood studio."

"It's a comedy movie. I registered the copyright this summer and will start filming in the spring or summer of 05."

"This is a comedy movie similar to The Big Bang Theory, with a Chinese actor inserted into the team as the second male lead."

"You four are competing fairly. Besides your acting skills, you also have to compete in English."

The four of them were ecstatic, and all the flattering topics they heard almost made them feel physically uncomfortable.

After Li Wenyu entered the office, he asked them to go to the bar to choose their drinks, and then he took out four sets of scripts from the desk drawer.

This was released in 2009 and grossed 4.67 million US dollars worldwide, which is equivalent to nearly 40 billion RMB (The Hangover).

The original Hangover was a standard B-budget production that made a killing.

It was written based on the original screenwriter's personal experience of losing his memory due to drunkenness. The original screenwriter is only 16 years old now.

The United States has strict alcohol control for minors.

He wrote it down and registered it when he went to accompany Alexandra to film a new role in a single episode of The Big Bang Theory in the summer, and he also tried to fool the father of Android.

The Hangover trilogy, although the latter part was terrible, the series still grossed $14 billion worldwide.

What a gold mine!
The only trouble is that if Li Wenyu translates the film into a fully Chinese-language movie, it will hardly achieve much success, as the theme of The Hangover 1 is a bachelor party before marriage.

Play off.

Are there any crazy bachelor parties before weddings in China nowadays?

Shi Guang is hiring a full-funded crew to shoot in the US. Are there more white people and a Chinese male lead? Shi Guang is not like the major Hollywood studios, which can steadily collect commissions from theater chains.

If you only watch it at this time, you will be cheated by the theaters.

This is still the model of The Big Bang Theory, Breaking Bad, etc. If you can get a Chinese second male lead under Time, you have won a lot.

This is similar to how Jackie Chan used the Rush Hour series to boost box office sales.

But this time when discussing co-production with Columbia or Warner Bros. Pictures, he can't just focus on the Asian box office. Europe and the United States are the main box office base that contributed 4.6 million US dollars.

The United States alone is $2.77 million!
The Hangover grossed HK$72 on Hong Kong Island, one-tenth of the low-budget film "Me Before You," which was defeated by Cold War 2 and Captain America.

The Hangover Part II grossed $2.54 million in the United States.

This is more than 1000 million US dollars higher than the performance of Pirates of the Caribbean released in the United States in the same year.

That's $5000 million more than Fast & Furious Five from the same year.

After completing the script for a B-level production with ordinary costs, Time Media aims to negotiate a share of between 10% and 20% of the total US box office.

Talk slowly with Columbia and Warner Bros. Pictures.

If we can’t reach an agreement, we won’t start the project.

What he brought out was the pie for the second male lead, Stu, who was the rational and responsible member of the team, with a cautious and cowardly personality, and had a strong chemical reaction with the male lead.

He is a typical henpecked husband who has been under control for a long time.

He is a dentist, but he accidentally lost a tooth after a hangover and had a flash marriage with a dancer in Las Vegas.

No matter who plays the role, it's a great opportunity to become globally famous like Jackie Chan.

Of course, Lao Li is optimistic about Huang Xiaoming and Deng Xi.

The former has filmed a season of the American drama, and he will be even more popular in the United States and Europe when the second season is aired.

And language? Xiao Ming's English score is over 70 at this stage.

Deng Xuan’s strengths are his acting skills and comedic sense, but his English is not good enough.

When he sent out four scripts, including the solo script for the second male lead, he laughed and said, "My Love from the Star and Goblin didn't make it to the US TV network."

"But when Squid Games like Old Deng are released, they will also attract a lot of white audiences like Dark Glory, and you can also become popular in the United States."

"When the film starts out, the salary can reach one or two million US dollars. The company will help you get a high salary."

"You're the only one who's weak, Adong. I'll try to get a maximum of 10 in blade fees."

"But if the project becomes a hit and we start a second part in the future, then we'll have a chance to earn $500 plus a 5% commission."

"Xiao Ming is the best at English, you guys should practice slowly."

Huang Xiaoming was ecstatic and excited and wanted to kowtow to Boss Li.

He has the biggest advantage now!
Even if filming started in the summer of 2005, he didn't think Deng Xiaoping and his friends would be able to improve their English to the level he had when he started filming the first season of Big Bang Theory.

Because he felt that he was much more ruthless than the other three!

"Boss, don't worry. I haven't even delayed my roadshow for (Perfect Stranger). I'm ready to immerse myself in a single role. I'm sure my acting skills will keep up."

"Also, I played Leonard in The Big Bang Theory quite well, playing a silly and funny guy."

Once the box office explodes in Europe and America, he will really have the rhythm of chasing Brother Long.

This isn't an action film yet, but a comedy-drama story.

Now Mr. Huang is extremely grateful that he made the right decision not to increase the share.

If you think you are famous now, would you approach the company and ask for a 60% share as a celebrity?

A project like The Hangover will definitely not use you again.

Just looking for actors with good acting skills and good English!

There is no shortage of people who are good at English in the age group of 25 to 40, such as Jiang Wen.

Deng Xiao was also very excited. "Don't worry, boss. I will risk my life to learn it, but I won't delay the Perfect Strangers roadshow."

Jin Dong and Wang Kai also expressed their opinions. However, they were inherently less confident than the other two. They both knew that their English was terrible and their acting skills were far behind the other two.

However, the company divided the pie.

For a few months or half a year, make a desperate sprint.

Anyway, they are all wealthy people who are financially independent and small-time rich people.

Huang Xiaoming scratched his head a bit proudly, "During those few months I was in the US, my white girlfriend was very helpful in improving my English."

"If you don't mind, you can try to imitate me."

Deng Xi and the other two looked at each other.

Old Li was also a little overwhelmed. "This is indeed very helpful. It depends on your personal choice. However, entering the broader English context will help you improve faster and more efficiently."

A moment later, when the four of them were about to take the script back to their office, Lao Li spoke up, "Lao Huang, please stay for a moment."

Huang Xiaoming decisively stopped and waited for instructions.

The door closed again, and Old Li sipped his tea and said, "Zhang Da Huzi's (The Legend of Condor Heroes)-like project is meaningless to you right now. You were right to reject it."

"But for the role of Yang Guo, you can take advantage of the situation and push Hu Ge or another suitable newcomer to the company, so that the old can guide the new."

"If the Condor Heroes project is willing to wait a little longer, Hu Ge will probably be back in the summer after finishing filming (Reply 1988). His popularity will also explode thanks to the success of The Legend of Sword and Fairy and Reply 1988."

The Legend of Sword and Fairy is about to be aired!
In The Return of the Condor Heroes, Liu Yifei was almost killed by a waterfall.

It is not necessary to have someone with Huang Xiaoming's personality to be with us all the time, just change the shooting time from winter to summer.

If the water temperature of the waterfall was not so low, Liu Yifei would not have been instantly frozen and disabled without any chance to struggle.

Also, Ah Xin would not join that kind of crew to play Huang Rong.

However, he could take advantage of the situation to push for the performance of people from Time. Whenever an actor left the stage, he would remind them that all safety measures must be taken to the highest level, which was the insurance line.

In the original storyline, Yang Midou played the young Guo Xiang.

If Xiao Ming doesn't play Yang Guo, I guess Zhang Da Huzi won't insist on inviting Liu Shishi. To put it bluntly, Da Huzi has shares in Liu Yifei's agency!

Huang Xiaoming said decisively, "That's great! Next time Director Zhang blocks me, I finally have a way to deal with it. Boss, are you promoting Hu Ge?"

Li Wenyu shook his head. "For now, their acting skills, age, and image are all okay. Only Hu Ge and Wang Kai are okay."

"But even if you push Wang Kai, he'll have to spend a few months fighting a hangover first."

Old Huang suddenly realized, "I understand. Boss, do you have any other instructions?"

Old Li shook his head, and Xiao Ming cleverly ran out to do his work.

Got this done.

About ten minutes after Lao Li returned to work, a text message arrived. It was from Da Meiyuan, "Brother Yu, my sister has been single for over ten days. Why don't you come over and talk about her feelings?"

"Lingling and Xiaoquan, the love of three people."

Li Wenyu, "..."

He only came back a dozen days after finishing filming.

At this stage, Pang Bing has just been appointed as the CEO of Time Media and is currently learning how to produce a large variety show.

As for the promotion of "Perfect Stranger"? Even Pang Bing didn't go.

Liang Jiahui, Chen Rongming, Zhou Xingchi, Jiang Wen, plus Wang Zuxian, Gong Li and Qin Lan, including the ghost team, Huang Xiaoming + Blake.

This promotional lineup is huge.

Old Li thought for a moment and typed a reply, "I'll keep Bingbing company for another week. Perfect World will be released simultaneously in South Korea and China. I'll take Deng Xiaoping, Liu Shishi, and the others there in advance."

Da Meiyu sent a picture message, which was a beautiful photo of herself smiling with a big hot dog against her face.

Old Li was numb.

…………

Nortel Campus.

Liu Yifei, who is already a junior in college, did not join the cast of The Return of the Condor Heroes as originally planned. She is still watching her classmates rehearsing in class with great interest.

The class ended and I left with the crowd.

Architect Jiang chased after him, "Xixi, aren't you panicking? The Little Dragon Girl in the Condor Heroes project was originally yours, but now there's talk of Liu Shishi snatching the role away."

Liu Yifei was amused. "If she really wants to act, I will definitely not be able to snatch her away. The most I can sell to the TV station is 9 or 10 per episode."

"Using her can earn at least 30 per episode. Anyway, I think after starring in Goblin, Liu Shishi will look down on traditional Jin Yong dramas."

"If she wanted to make quick money, I heard that some film crews offered her 200 million yuan per film, and the best paid her 500 million yuan per film."

"Is the latter trying to launder money? He gave so much."

Architect Jiang was speechless for a moment when he saw Xiao Liu so calm.

In her mind, the heroine who is a king of cakes is a smooth resource for Xiao Liu from Class 02. This is the fourth film since her debut.

But for Xiao Liu, another freshman from Class 04, it was just an ordinary money-making business that he looked down upon.

After a few tens of seconds of numbness, she asked curiously, "How much did the Condor Heroes crew offer her per episode?"

Liu Yifei also said with some envy, "I heard it's 30 per episode, which is almost forty times what I make."

"Director Zhang even wants to try to hire Sister Xin to play Huang Rong for 60 per episode. That's too much of a fantasy."

Architect Jiang's teeth and legs ached. "I want to apply more and see if I can sign a contract with Shi Guang. There are so many opportunities there."

"I heard that there are several American dramas like (The Big Bang Theory) in the pipeline. Didn't Zhu Yawen audition for Reply 1988 and get the role?"

"Will this drama be as popular as Dark Glory? Old Zhu was the first to take off. No, there's also Huang Bo from the dubbing class."

"I'm dying of laughter. His one line about the brand being Uniqlo almost caused countless Uniqlo consumers to abandon this Japanese brand. What a joke."

"You can offend anyone but not Director Ning. He spent 500 million to produce this ad. He's a genius."

Liu Yifei recalled the scenes in Crazy Stone and couldn't help laughing.

She had donated several movie tickets to Shi Tou.

…………

Time flies by.

On December 12, Lao Li flew to Seoul with his team again.

They are preparing for the roadshow in advance for the film "Perfect Strangers" which will be released at 24:0 am on the th. This time it will be Deng Xiao + Liu Shishi and Jiang Shuying.

Huang Xiaoming, Blake and Jin Dong are responsible for the mainland and Hong Kong-Macao Bay.

Quan Zhixian, who came to pick him up at the airport, welcomed him into a stretched Rolls-Royce. Dong Li was so excited that she started rehearsing the kissing scene in the car.

Da Meiyuan is the epitome of yearning, "Brother Yu, how many days will you stay here?"

Old Li didn't have time to talk. He gestured to the number 3 and said that he had already agreed to take Pang Bing back to his hometown to live during the Christmas and New Year holidays.

Xiao Quan, who was driving, said happily, "Not bad, it's a multiple of three spicy hot pot meals. At least I don't have to fly to Beijing for an airborne delivery."

Da Meiyuan also smiled happily, "Then I'll stop working and rest for three days."

It's been exactly one month since the John Wick crew arrived in South Korea. Before the official start of filming on November 11, there's still a week of site selection, scenery surveying, and prop preparation.

As for the 1988 team? They are still diligently following South Korean insiders, accompanied by a large number of assistants and translators, to familiarize themselves with South Korean society and understand the historical background of 1988.

Including the social humanities, historical background, etc. of South Korea at that time.
