Chapter 475 Probing Kungfu and Reaching an Agreement

Stallone didn't come alone, there were five people behind him.

Two strong bodyguards dressed in black suits, a female assistant with red hair and gray eyes, and a middle-aged lawyer wearing glasses.

The last one was a fifteen or sixteen year old girl with blond hair who looked like a Barbie doll.

Zhou Xia felt a little familiar when she saw that beautiful girl, but she didn't remember it for a moment.

He was thinking about who this girl was, but on the other side, Stallone had an angry look on his face after hearing his words.

Zhou Xia's English is very good, and he expresses it very clearly. Stallone understands that Zhou Xia believes that his salary is too low and has to go through mediation by the actor union. He is very unhappy, and even regrets asking Zhou Xia to star in this movie.

But now it's like this, and there is no good way.

Not to mention dismissing the other party and compensating the other party for their losses, finding another actor and modifying the plot will waste a lot of time.

Stallone thought so, and soon made an unexpected choice!

He looked at Zhou Xia jokingly: "Mr. Zhou, I have seen the kung fu you demonstrated to my assistant. It looked so-so, like a gymnastics performance. As a producer, I promised you to be one of the protagonists. You You should understand that it is not a simple matter!"

"Gymnastics performance, hehe, Mr. Stallone, I think you may have misunderstood me. I am not a gymnast like Jason Statham. I practiced kickboxing since I was a child, and I still have some real kung fu. Compared with your protagonists, I I don’t think they are inferior to them in this respect!”

Zhou Xia heard what Stallone meant, and said without hesitation that the other leading actors were no better than him in this respect.

Moreover, when dealing with foreigners like this, you have to go straight and let them recognize your strength.

"Really, my other leading men are all real tough guys, you look a little, yes, a little greasy! Since you claim to be real kung fu, if you can knock down my bodyguard Jason, I will admit it Your strength, agree to your conditions, otherwise, don't ask for anything else!"

As Stallone said, he waved to the muscular, tall, white man in a black suit beside him.

The big white guy named Jason looked at Zhou Xia, waiting for his reply.

Zhou Xia's assistants, as well as Zhang Xueda and others all advised him not to agree.

Zhou Xia didn't take it seriously, "Mr. Stallone, if youth is greasy in your eyes, then at your age, what should I say, in our Chinese language, it should be the dying years."

Zhou Xia replied bluntly, glanced over Jason, a 190 cm tall white man, and said, "However, I am very interested in your proposal, so let's use this method to make a decision."

As soon as Zhou Xia finished speaking, the big white man came up and stretched out his hand to Zhou Xia: "Mr. Zhou, I've offended you!"

"You're welcome!" Zhou Xia agreed and stretched out her hand.

A powerful force came from the opponent's hand, and Zhou Xia was prepared to fight back immediately.

Zhou Xia practiced free combat, and his hands and arms are not weak. He was able to defeat three or four adult foreigners three years ago. Now that he has practiced for so many years, he is of course stronger.

But this Jason is obviously not an ordinary person, he is a professional bodyguard, Zhou Xia feels that his strength is so great that he is not an opponent.

It took four seconds, and neither of the two pulled the other one step.

Zhou Xia didn't want to continue in this stalemate, so he immediately let go of his strength, took advantage of the moment the opponent swayed back, took two steps forward, and pulled Jason hard to the ground.

With a bang, Jason's huge body hit the ground, and everyone around him was taken aback.

Jason blushed, stood up quickly, and looked at Zhou Xia angrily: "Shameless, you are cheating!"

Zhou Xia shrugged, "This is called using softness to overcome rigidity. This is Tai Chi in kung fu, using strength to strike strength."

Stallone's expression on the side changed, watching this scene, but he still didn't break his promise, and said loudly: "Okay, Jason, don't pester me anymore, I heard about Tai Chi from Jet Li, and you were careless just now."

Jason held his mouth and said nothing.

"Mr. Zhou, since you knocked down my bodyguard, then what I just said counts. I recognize your strength. I also accept the $500 million contract you proposed. I hope you can join the filming team as soon as possible.

Only your part of our scenes in the United States has not been filmed. After filming, we will go to Bulgaria, where the main part will be filmed. If everything goes well, your part will be finished in about a month. "

"Mr. Stallone, please rest assured, this is what I hope, please believe me, you will not regret choosing me to play this role!"

Zhou Xia didn't talk nonsense, and directly responded that the other party was obviously looking for a step down just now, and the influence of the union's intervention was very bad for the crew. Compared with several million dollars, the time cost would be higher.

"But boss, when I bought your insurance yesterday, you haven't found a suitable substitute. There are many dangerous actions in this movie." Li Jingwen immediately walked up to remind Zhou Xia in a low voice.

"Well, I believe they will find it soon. Just keep an eye on it. There shouldn't be any problem with the filming in the past few days." Zhou Xia responded in a low voice.

"Mr. Zhou, do you have any doubts?" Seeing Zhou Xia and his assistant talking in a low voice, Stallone asked a little unhappy.

"Mr. Stallone, it's gone. It's mainly about my substitute." Zhou Xia said directly.

"Oh, your stand-in, Mr. Zhou, don't worry, each of our actors has a stand-in, and yours already has one, but it doesn't look like you. We are still looking for a more suitable candidate, and the current one is also usable. "

"Okay, then there's no problem. As long as the contract is confirmed, I can join the filming team at any time."

"This will be ready soon. We prepared a new contract when we came." While speaking, Stallone waved to the charming beauty with red hair and gray eyes beside him.

The female assistant immediately opened the folder, took out a contract and handed it over. Zhang Xueda, who was beside Zhou Xia, took it and read it carefully.

Zhou Xia, Stallone and others moved to the sofa and sat down, chatting briefly.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Xueda finished approving the contract and handed it to Zhou Xia: "Boss, there is no problem."

"Okay." Zhou Xia took the contract, signed it in a swish, and asked Li Jingwen to press the seal.

Seeing this, Stallone on the side became happy, shook hands with Zhou Xia and said, "Mr. Zhou, I hope our cooperation will be happy this time."

"Definitely, definitely." Zhou Xia politely said to the other party, obviously the unhappiness just now has passed.

"Well, you just said that you can join the set at any time, now let's go back to the set together, and we have several cars coming." Stallone laughed.

"OK, alright."

Zhou Xia looked at his assistant, Li Jingwen, and asked her to bring his belongings, mainly mobile phone, computer, etc., and then followed Stallone out of the hotel.

When you come outside the hotel, you can see three or two luxury cars, one is an extended Lincoln, and the other two are Hummers.

Stallone heard Zhou Xia's detailed situation from his subordinates, and he seemed to be interested in him. He invited him to get in the Lincoln Lincoln, and the blond girl also got into the car, while everyone else got into other cars. .
