Chapter 668 The episode before the launch conference
Silent all night.

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Zhou Xia went to the set with the receptionist sent by Stallone.

Zhou Xia didn't know the current shooting situation of the movie, so he drove to Billy Hua Mountain in the west of Los Angeles in the car.

Zhou Xia's mansion can only be regarded as an ordinary mansion. The richest people in Hollywood basically live on the Billy Huashan side, and the destination of the car is the Billy Hua Hotel.

Today the main actors will basically join the group, so a launch conference will be held there.

The car drove for an hour before arriving at the foot of Bilihua Mountain, and stopped in front of a luxurious hotel not long after.

After Zhou Xia got off the car with his assistant, they walked into the hotel together with the receptionist. When they came to a lounge, they saw two acquaintances, Stallone and Jason Statham, sitting in it chatting.

"Hi Zhou, you're finally here."

Seeing Zhou Xia coming in, both Stallone and Jason raised their heads and greeted him enthusiastically. The last movie worked well together, and they both recognized Zhou Xia's strength very much.

"Hi, long time no see, hello, is there anyone else coming?" Zhou Xia asked while looking at the other vacant seats.

"Zhou, I know what you mean. You are curious about who the actress is. Don't worry, I'll see you in a while." Stallone didn't know that his eldest daughter Sophia had revealed the news to Zhou Xia, and continued to play tricks.

"Hehe, yes, I'm very curious." Zhou Xia replied with a smile without revealing the truth, and continued, "However, let me see the complete script."

Zhou Xia received the script of "The Expendables 3" as early as June, but in order to invite the big cousin to play, Stallone obviously added a role to the female character, and Zhou Xia has not read the revised script.

But he wasn't worried either. There shouldn't be much plot involved, and the action scenes were mainly added to her. Otherwise, he would definitely send him the script in advance so that he could prepare.

"This is what it should be." After Stallone hugged Zhou Xia, he ordered the red-haired sexy female assistant to get the script for Zhou Xia.

The other actors didn't show up, so Zhou Xia took the script and quickly read it. He mainly watched the last revised parts.

I found the role of Luna that the big cousin will play page by page, and I finished watching it in less than a few minutes.

Stallone and Jason next to him didn't care when they saw Zhou Xia's amazing reading speed. They had seen it when they were filming last time.

"How about it, is the role of Luna fuller, and the interaction with Zhou Hua played by you is also much more." Stallone knew that Zhou Xia had finished watching, so he asked.

"Yes, these are easy to talk about, but is she good at Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?" Zhou Xiakan raised his doubts.

"Her?" Stallone was slightly taken aback, Zhou Xia's tone seemed to know who the actress was, otherwise he should have asked the actress instead of 'her'!
"Yes, that actress." Zhou Xia quickly covered up.

"Don't worry, that actress has studied specially in the past few months, and there will be no problem." Stallone assured Zhou Xia.

"That's good. I'll have to learn later, Jason, don't you think it's fun to remember the way the crew welcomed me last time?" Zhou Xia looked at Jason Statham next to him and asked with a smile .

When he participated in "The Expendables 2" last time, when he came to Hollywood, two of Stallone's bodyguards fought with him first, and then several other kung fu superstars also "discussed" with him on the set.

"Hehe, Zhou, don't worry about this, we should behave like a gentleman." Before Jason Statham could speak, Stallone spoke for her with a smile.

"Haha, since that's the case, I still have the demeanor of a man!" Zhou Xia was just joking, not to mention that he knew that the actress was his eldest cousin Lawrence, not a professional action actor.

"That's, that's, after all, the other party is not a professional action actor, so why make things difficult for him." Jason Statham also responded when he heard Zhou Xia's words.

"Who wants to embarrass me?"

It may be that the three people were talking too loudly, until the voice sounded, the three people noticed that there was already a tall and sexy blonde standing at the door.

"Hi, Jenny, you're here, let me introduce you." Stallone didn't stand up, greeted him, then pointed to Zhou Xia and Jason Statham, and introduced to Jenny who came over: " This is Jason, this is Zhou, and this is Jenny."

"Hello."

"Hello."

Both Zhou Xia and Jason Statham politely stood up and shook hands with Jennifer who came over.

"Zhou, I heard you say that you want to 'welcome' me." Jenny held Zhou Xia's hand and watched him deliberately accentuate the word 'welcome'.

"Hehe, of course, I look forward to cooperating with you, and of course I welcome you." Zhou Xia was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect that what he said behind his back was overheard.

"I'm looking forward to it too." Jennifer didn't say any more, she let go of Zhou Xia's hand and sat aside.

Soon several other heavyweight actors arrived, including the biggest villain Mel Gibson, and Schwarzenegger who quit The Expendables. As for Li Lianjie, he did not come because of something.

And he has fewer roles in the third part, and his participation in promotional activities should be contracted.

After everyone arrived, everyone went to the prepared venue together to hold the launch conference.

Many American newspapers and magazines came. The local Hollywood Reporter and the Los Angeles Times received the most favorable treatment and asked several questions. However, only the American branch of Xiahua Video sent people from the domestic media.

"Jeffnie, Jenfernie, I'm a reporter from The Hollywood Reporter. May I ask why you are in this movie? This is a tough guy movie with male heroes. What is your role like?"

When Zhou Xia heard this question, he also became energetic. Before he had time to communicate with Stallone, he asked him how he invited Jennifer.

Jennifer picked up the microphone next to her, looked at all the actors sitting in a row with her, and began to read their names one by one: "Why do you need a reason for appearing in this movie? Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, Jason Statham... Zhou, Jet Lee who hasn't been there yet, these names are very attractive to me."

After Jennifer finished speaking, the media in the audience laughed happily, and Zhou Xia, Stallone, Jason and others also smiled slightly.

After the laughter passed, Jennifer continued to laugh and said, "Of course, the most important thing is that I am very satisfied with the remuneration."

The media off the court laughed again, and Zhou Xia shrugged helplessly. It turned out that Stallone hired Jennifer with his salary, but he just hoped it would not be too exaggerated.

The entire press conference lasted for two hours. All the main creators answered many questions, met the needs of the media, and took a lot of photos.

In order to promote in China, Xiahua Video Network not only took photos of Zhou Xia and all the main actors, but also asked them to greet domestic movie fans in simple Chinese.

After everything was over, the crew had dinner at the hotel to celebrate the official launch of the movie, and in the afternoon they took a special car to go to Universal Studios to shoot related scenes.
