Chapter 456 Hollywood Invitation, New Character in "The Expendables 2"
The seven-day period of the Spring Festival is very important for all movies.

"Detective Chinatown" regained 30% of the film schedule, which made Zhou Xia extremely happy. Just as he was returning to Shanghai to prepare for the New Year, he received a call from Li Lianjie, who wanted to meet him and talk about something.

Zhou Xia had no choice but to go to Li Lianjie's villa in Shanghai to discuss matters.

Li Lianjie's mansion is located in the corner of Siji Yayuan, a high-end residential area in Pudong. It is a well-known wealthy area in Shanghai, but it is not the most luxurious and high-end.

This community is not too far from Zhou Xia Huamuyuan's home, and it is also next to Century Park.

But this is a villa, the style is a combination of Chinese and Western, with a super large private swimming pool, surrounded by ancient gardens with small bridges and flowing water, the area is also amazing, with an area of ​​5369.87 square meters!
The house is surrounded by cameras and warning lights, with one set every 50 meters!
Zhou Xia drove to Li Lianjie's house, and soon the security guard opened the door and let him in.

After all, Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Zhou Xia didn't come empty-handed, but he didn't know what gift to give, so he simply brought a set of the supreme version of Xiahua's mobile phone that was originally given to relatives during the Chinese New Year, and gave it to him.

"Here you come, why don't you bring any presents?" Li Lianjie accepted Zhou Xia's gift after taking Zhou Xia in, without opening it, and said politely.

"It should be. This phone is the supreme version of our company. It is well kept secret and safe. There are only dozens of them in the world. You can use it as a personal phone properly."

Zhou Xia proudly introduced that this phone is very convenient for him to use.

"Okay, okay, I'll try it." Hearing what Zhou Xia said, Li Lianjie became interested, turned on the phone, looked at the exquisite golden appearance, and put it back into the gift box.

"Brother Jie, Chinese New Year is coming soon. Are you alone at home?" Zhou Xia asked tentatively. The other party insisted on meeting and chatting, and he was also curious about what it was.

"Yes, I will fly back to the Lion City at night to celebrate the New Year, and I will go to Hollywood to shoot "The Expendables 2" after the new year." Li Lianjie looked at Zhou Xia with a smile.

Zhou Xia heard what he meant, but he didn't want to ask too much, and immediately asked tentatively: "Is "The Expendables 2" going to be filmed? I wonder if there are any new actors added this time?"

"Hehe, that's why I called you here. The new script has come out, and there is a character in it that suits you very well. Take a look."

As Li Lianjie spoke, he took a not-too-thick script from the side and gave it to Zhou Xia, and there was another script below.

Zhou Xia opened it and saw that it was all in English. Fortunately, he had no problem with English, so he opened it calmly and read it.

It begins with an introduction to a character, and lines from related characters, followed by the entire script.

This is a new character in "The Expendables 2", named Zhou Hua, a computer decoding expert, from China, good at Kung Fu and fighting, and also the apprentice of 'Yang' played by Li Lianjie. First, he is a top fighter with both fighting and wisdom.

Zhou Xia quickly read the character introduction, and thought of "The Expendables 2" in his memory, and immediately understood.

This role is exactly the modified version of Maggie played by Yu Nan.

Although it is different, it is actually the masculinization of that character, as well as changes in related lines and stories, and there are no other changes.

"This, this character was written for me?" Zhou Xia looked at Li Lianjie in doubt.

"Yes, this role was originally a woman, and I planned to invite domestic actresses to play it for the domestic market. You are a filmmaker, so you must know better than me. But then they asked me about your situation and knew that we After knowing that you have martial arts skills, I quickly revised the script and asked me to contact you to see if you are willing to play this role. If so, they will come to contact you after the Chinese New Year."

Li Lianjie didn't hide anything, and directly spoke to Zhou Xia honestly.

"I understand. I'll read the script first." Zhou Xia said, picked up the script in his hand and quickly scanned it. After reading it, he understood what this new character was like, and he also had a good understanding of the movie. new understanding.

The plot of the original movie hasn't changed much.

The special operations team (death squad) led by the protagonist Barney (Stallone) is ordered to rescue a rich man in Hong Kong, China. After the rescue is successful, he is escorted back to China by Yang (guest star of Li Lianjie).

When we got here, we connected with the plot of the first step, and Li Lianjie did not appear in the follow-up, and he can only be regarded as a cameo in this film. .

This time, Barney, Christmas (Jason Statham), Gunnar (Dof Lundgren), Billy (Liam Hemsworth) and Billy (Liam Hemsworth) experienced a bloody storm of gunfire. ), Toll Road (Randy Kudrow) and Caesar (Terry Crews), these death squad buddies are enjoying the rare comfort after the war. ) came to the door and ordered him to go to the Gazak Mountains in Albania to find a safe on a downed plane and ensure that the box would not fall into the hands of the enemy. The church also appointed Zhou Hua (Zhou Xia) to go with these tough guys.

In the first part, the leader played by Bruce Willis hired Barney to work for him with a reward of 500 million US dollars, but Barney did not complete the task according to what the leader said.

This time the leader found Barney and threatened Barney to work for him again, otherwise he would throw all the death squads into Guantanamo prison, but this seemingly simple task was not as simple as expected.

When a brotherly member of the Death Squad is captured and brutally murdered, they are forced into an unknown and perilous area, forced to seize fleeting opportunities and overcome all obstacles to avenge their brother.

They insisted on blood for blood. Wherever the "Death Squad" went, they launched a series of wide-ranging sabotage, created fierce battles one after another, and at the same time reversed a crisis they hadn't thought of in advance: The enemy has seized 5 tons of plutonium, a radioactive element that can be used in nuclear weapons, and is about to sell it...

All in all for vengeance and honor.

Zhou Xia watched the plot involving him very carefully, and he found something very interesting in it.

The role of Zhou Hua in the script has more roles than he imagined, and there are foreshadowings.

In the original story, Maggie, played by Yu Nan, had an emotional scene with the male protagonist, but now there are no female characters, and the role of Zhou Hua is more of an assistant trained by Barney played by Stallone.

After all, Li Lianjie can only be regarded as a cameo. After he left, Zhou Xia became the only leading actor with yellow skin. There are also many fighting scenes, all of which are involved in team tasks and provide technical support at the same time.

After Zhou Xia finished reading, she put down the script and lowered her head to meditate.

This matter is very big, and it cannot be decided with a slap in the head.
