Director Wei smiled: "This is the truth.

"Yes, that's true."

Gal Gadot did not deny: "But this is also replaceable."

"It's not that easy. Some people are born in Rome and cannot be replaced."

Director Wei shook his head.

In Hollywood, if you are a Chinese actor or an Israeli actor, you will be treated differently.

No matter how hard you Chinese actors work or how talented you are, you can never replace Israeli actors.

This is a fact.

Reality doesn't tell you fairness.

So Director Wei doesn't agree with Gal Gadot's words.

However, Gal Gadot is also a veteran who came to Hollywood in 2008 to work hard and starred in "Fast & Furious 4". She understands the rules of Hollywood better than Director Wei, so she has also shed her naiveté.

"Director Wei, you kind of misunderstood what I meant.

"misunderstanding?

"Yes, when I say I am replaceable, I don't mean by Hollywood actors, but by our own actors."

Director Wei blinked.

Gal Gadot smiled wryly and said, "I was born in 1985 and I'm 31 years old this year.

Wei, I'm called the most beautiful woman in Israel by many people. Does that mean I'm really the most beautiful woman in Israel? In our country, there are many beautiful girls younger than me. Who wouldn't want to come to Hollywood?

Director Wei couldn't refute it.

“My greatest value to Hollywood is not my acting skills or beauty, but my nationality, as you said.

But just because I am an Israeli actor doesn’t mean I am the only actor in Israel.

They can't replace me now, but the reason I was able to enter Hollywood was just a coincidence.

My success can be replicated and replaced, it’s just that I’m lucky now.

So I really hope that Wonder Woman can be successful. If Wonder Woman is successful, I may be able to have no worries for the next ten years."

Director Wei has a new appreciation for Gal Gadot.

Foreign actresses who can gain a foothold in Hollywood seem to have some skills and are not naive.

Gal Gadot has a clear sense of self.

Wei Jun thought there was nothing wrong with the idea.

"I didn't expect you to be so smart."

Director Wei was a little surprised.

Gal Gadot sighed, "Any foreign actress who wants to make it in Hollywood has to be smart, otherwise they won't survive.

This is the most watched place in the world, this place - cannibalism."

Director Wei nodded.

No problem.

Of course Hollywood eats people.

The Chinese film industry is also cannibalistic.

Of course, there are examples of people who become popular but have low emotional intelligence.

But those people will eventually fail.

There are very few stupid people who can remain popular forever.

Especially if you want to successfully gain a foothold in a foreign country and survive for several years, the required abilities are even higher.

Apart from fans, no one would think that one can survive in a foreign country, especially in Hollywood, solely by relying on ability.

It's actually quite reasonable for Gal Gadot to have this kind of awareness and emotional intelligence.

"Wei, you know what? Actually, even though the DC executives hinted at me, there wouldn't be any problem if I refused."

Gal Gadot said.

Director Wei was stunned, and then a little surprised.

"Yes, Wonder Woman has already chosen you. Whether I become the director or not, it will not have much impact on your position as the heroine."

“Yes, Wei, you understand the rules of Hollywood very well.

Gal Gadot doesn't exist? If Gadot doesn't accompany Director Wei, there's a small chance she'll be replaced.

"So you took the initiative?

"Yes."

Gal Gadot admitted frankly: "Does this make you feel very accomplished?"

Director Wei said frankly: "It is true. I didn't expect you to take the initiative. I thought DC was so eager to cooperate with me that they resorted to some trickery."

"Actually, there's something you may not know.

"what?

“A female director had already been chosen for Wonder Woman.

"I know that, Patty Jenkins.

"Yes, but what you don't know is that she chose me to be her leading lady, but I voted for it when DC wanted to replace her."

Director Wei was really shocked this time.

What surprised him even more was what came next.

“Also, I don’t know what kind of considerations DC made before finally deciding to cooperate with you, but I have actively recommended you to DC’s top management.

Maybe it didn’t work, but I did it.”

Director Wei: "...I really don't know about this. You took the initiative to recommend me?"

“Don’t believe it?

“It’s hard to believe that we didn’t know each other before.

Although Director Wei thinks he is very handsome, this is America after all.

Not in the country.

It is quite normal for a female star in China to recommend him as a director and want to throw herself at him to sleep with him.

But in the United States, in Hollywood, Director Wei does not have such charm.

You still need to be self-aware as a human being.

But Gal Gadot gave a reasonable explanation.

“Actually, I know you.

"You know me? Why?

"DC's superhero series has been a failure in recent years, with almost no success stories. So it's unrealistic to expect to find a big Hollywood director to film Wonder Woman."

Director Wei nodded in agreement.

He also added: "Forget about asking those big Hollywood directors to shoot DC superheroes. Even if we ask those big directors to shoot Marvel, they are actually too lazy to do it."

"Yes, that's true. The truly capable and influential directors in Hollywood simply don't bother to make superhero movies."

Gal Gadot said: "They don't agree with this kind of movie."

There is a chain of contempt in the Chinese film industry.

Hollywood has it too.

Although superhero movies have been conquering the world in recent years, in the American entertainment industry, especially in Hollywood, both actors and directors look down on superhero movies.

They believe that superhero movies have no depth, no substance, and no artistic value.

The recognized great directors in Hollywood, such as Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Peter Jackson, Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese... you name it, none of them have made a superhero movie.

Marvel's superhero series are very popular at the box office.

But the directors of Marvel movies...are not even considered top-tier directors in the Hollywood director circle.

Famous directors actually don’t play with them.

And even though Marvel movies are so successful at the box office, the directors of Marvel movies still don't have a very high status in Hollywood.

Movie fans around the world know that great directors like Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, and Quentin Tarantino are amazing.

But who thinks the directors of Marvel movies are awesome?

How many people can name the director of the Avengers series?

More than just a director.

Even the more established actors in Hollywood look down on superhero movies.

Leonardo DiCaprio is currently the number one star in Hollywood.

In the next few years, the most popular ones were Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Vin Diesel.

None of them went on to make a superhero movie.

Even Chris Evans, the core actor of the Marvel series and the actor who plays Captain America, has publicly stated that he does not like to make superhero movies.

Hollywood superstars don't make superhero movies.

Robert Downey Jr. didn't play Iron Man as a superhero; when he took the role, he was still a hopeless, unremarkable actor who had just made a comeback.

All over the world, superhero movies are awesome.

In Hollywood, superhero movies are looked down upon.

This is objective reality.

The chain of contempt exists like this.

So "Wonder Woman" seems to be quite famous, but there is really no big-name director.

Even particularly outstanding actors cannot be found.

Gal Gadot continued, "Wei, we're not familiar with each other, and we don't have any feelings for each other, so I'm just telling you the truth. Please don't feel any resentment about it."

Director Wei smiled and said, "Of course. Don't worry, I'm a normal person and not that arrogant."

"That's good."

Gal Gadot said: "I knew that there wouldn't be any great directors for Wonder Woman, so I did a lot of research on the directors who could direct her.

In the end, I found your conditions to be the best.”

“My conditions are the best?

"Of course, you're good at making commercial films, and you're much better than Patty Jenkins in this regard.

She has never proven herself, but you can make $300 million or even $400 million in China without counting overseas box office. This is an amazing achievement. Even among Hollywood directors, there are not many who can make $300 million or $400 million in China.

At this point, Gal Gadot looked at Director Wei with a touch of admiration.

"Wei, I'm telling you sincerely, you're really amazing.

Director Wei looked at the position of his hands, then looked at Gal Gadot's current appearance, and accepted Gal Gadot's praise with a smile.

This praise has soul.

"With your box office appeal in China, Director Wei, as long as 'Wonder Woman' doesn't do too badly, Chinese films can guarantee a box office of $300-400 million. If it can also make $300-400 million in the U.S., then 'Wonder Woman' will be a huge success. This is not counting the film markets of other countries.

Wei, I really can't find a more suitable director than you, and I believe DC can't find one either."

Director Wei was so flattered by Gal Gadot that he almost believed it himself.

"That seems to make sense, but how did you know me?" Director Wei asked curiously, "I don't believe a Hollywood actress would pay attention to Chinese directors."

Gal Gadot smiled and said, "Others won't, but I will. I have a connection with you Chinese people."

"Do you have a connection with us Chinese?" Director Wei didn't understand.
