Gal Gadot explained: "I became famous in Hollywood thanks to the help of you Chinese.

I have always thought that maybe I was born to work with Chinese directors.

It might sound a bit superstitious, but that’s what I think.”

Director Wei didn't believe Gal Gadot's words.

But Director Wei understood why Gal Gadot paid attention to him.

"No wonder, I almost forgot that although you were popular in Israel before, you became famous in Hollywood because you were chosen by Lin Yibin to star in the crime action film "Fast & Furious 4" directed by him in 2008. In "Fast & Furious 4", you played the beautiful and sexy "Gizelle" and then broke into Hollywood with this.

This has been your representative work for the past few years. Actually, Lin Yibin is your mentor.”

Director Wei understood.

Gal Gadot smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, so I've always been grateful to Justin Lin. He changed my life."

As you Chinese would say, he is my benefactor."

Justin Lin, whose full name is Lin Yibin, is a Chinese-American director, screenwriter, and producer.

In Hollywood, not only do Chinese actors find it difficult to gain a foothold, but so do Chinese directors.

But anyone who can successfully gain a foothold is not an ordinary person.

Needless to say, Li An has won two Oscars.

But in fact, Li An's status in Hollywood may not be higher than Lin Yibin's.

Because Li An is good at making art films, his record in commercial films is very poor.

However, Lin Yibin is a pure commercial film director. The "Fast and Furious" series is Lin Yibin's masterpiece.

Lin Yibin is not the founder of the "Fast and Furious" series, but this series was completely developed and promoted in his hands, which is a fact recognized by all fans of the "Fast and Furious" series.

Gal Gadot's entry into Hollywood was thanks to her supporting role as Gisele in the Fast and Furious series.

She was personally selected by Lin Yibin.

It's 2016 now.

Before Wonder Woman became a success, Gizelle was still Gal Gadot's representative work.

Therefore, Gal Gadot does have reason to be grateful to Lin Yibin.

There is indeed reason to trust Chinese directors.

Although Lin Yibin is an American citizen.

But he is indeed of Chinese descent.

The same skin as Director Wei.

Gal Gadot said: "I asked Justin Lin about you. He thinks you are very high and thinks you are very suitable to direct Wonder Woman."

"Lin Yibin also knows me?" Wei Jun was a little curious.

Gal Gadot smiled. "Wei, do you have any misunderstandings about yourself? Hollywood does discriminate against you Chinese people. I can feel that."

But as long as you are successful enough, the whole world will make way for you, and Hollywood is no exception.

I've heard of your name for a long time. China's film market is booming, and you're China's number one director. Do you think you're really unknown in the United States? In fact, you've already been a big shot."

Director Wei had to admit that Gal Gadot really knew how to flatter him.

He was blown away again.

And what he said is well-founded.

Director Wei did underestimate himself a bit.

In his previous life, after "Wolf Warrior 2", although Wu Jing did not have any representative works in Hollywood, he was frequently cueed by Hollywood.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Vin Diesel, two of the hottest A-list stars in Hollywood's post-superstar era and among the few who can carry the box office, have frequently expressed their interest in collaborating with Wu Jing.

In comparison, Director Wei's current status in the Chinese-language film industry is higher than Wu Jing's status in the Chinese-language film industry at that time.

Moreover, as a director, Director Wei is inherently better than the actors.

And Gal Gadot's status in Hollywood is far inferior to that of Dwayne Johnson and Van Diesel.

She licked herself, which made sense.

—Nothing wrong with it.

"Wei, you are my first choice. I hope we can cooperate deeply and fight a beautiful war in Hollywood. Are you interested?"

Gal Gadot once again extended a serious invitation to Director Wei.

But this occasion was not very serious.

Gal Gadot isn't exactly serious right now.

The atmosphere had reached this point, and Director Wei could only say that he had been defeated by his own weaknesses.

Man.

After all, it's hard to refuse a honey trap.

"You blow me so comfortably."

Guide Wei said.

Gal Gadot blinked.

She received a hint from Director Wei.

So she leaned over.

After a moment, she raised her head as much as possible and looked at Director Wei.

His eyes were full of desire.

Director Wei placed his hand on Gal Gadot's head and sighed to the sky.

Damn foreigners.

And it also corrupted him, the legitimate successor to socialism.

So abominable.

This is really unbearable.

Chapter 91: Both the east and the west blossom, career blossoms, and people blossom too!

Director Wei hated it very much.

I hate the imperialists’ undying desire to destroy us.

They actually corrupted and tempted him, a young man who grew up under the education of socialism.

Tempt him to fall.

Director Wei also hated himself.

Director Wei feels that he is actually a good man, a man of integrity and loyalty to his country.

They can also resist many temptations and resolutely fight against bad social trends.

Unfortunately, his biggest weakness is when it comes to women.

This weakness was seized by the hateful foreigners.

Director Wei wanted to challenge his own weaknesses.

Unfortunately, Director Wei sighed to the sky.

Challenge failed.

Oh, foreigners are really hateful.

He actually used such a vicious scheme as the beauty trap.

Director Wei decided to test the law himself.

In the future, we must remind our people to be wary of foreign countries playing the beauty card.

They are really willing to take risks.

A good kid with pure thoughts like him suddenly faced the temptation of imperialism... and he really couldn't resist it.

A weakness is still a weakness after all.

Director Wei finally agreed.

If he doesn't do this... he's not a man.

So I took Wonder Woman.

Not only did he take on the role.

The person also answered the call.

DC executives were surprised.

"Wei, you made a wise choice. I believe we will be able to cooperate happily."

“I believe it too.

Since he had already decided to take the job, Director Wei no longer hesitated.

Anyway, Wonder Woman is a money-making project.

The previous version of "Wonder Woman" had a global total box office of US$8.223 million.

Among female-oriented movies with female protagonists, "Wonder Woman" ranks first in the global box office.

Gal Gadot's status in Hollywood has skyrocketed since her role in "Wonder Woman."

In terms of the added value of roles to actors, among actresses, only Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow can be compared in recent years.

Others like "Captain Marvel" are far behind.

Even Scarlett Johansson's "Black Widow" was beaten by "Wonder Woman" at the box office.

Scarlett Johansson even went to court against Marvel Studios over this, which caused a sensation around the world and basically broke up with Marvel completely.

Later, the movie with a heroine as the lead that broke the total box office record of "Wonder Woman" came from "Hello, Li Huanying" directed by Jia Ling from China.

Of course, Director Wei believes this was an accident. "Hello, Li Huanying"'s box office success is definitely excessive, and it certainly hasn't reached the level of being the world's number one female-led film.

But Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman isn't so stable either.

因为《神奇女侠》虽然有8.223亿美元的票房，但是《神奇女侠》第2部依旧由盖尔？加朵主演票房就只剩1.185亿美元了而第2部的投资高达2亿美元……事实证明什么票房号召力都是虚的盖尔？加朵对自己不自信也是有道理的。

She really doesn't have much box office appeal, and "Wonder Woman" is indeed an IP that can easily fail.

Fortunately, Director Wei had seen the first version of "Wonder Woman" shot by Gal Gadot.

If he were to shoot it, it would definitely not be worse than the first one. At worst, he could just copy the whole thing.

Director Wei has no psychological obsession with copying foreigners' movies and making money from foreigners.

He just doesn't want to steal the show from successful domestic films.

foreign?

Director Wei didn't know them, nor did he have any internationalist Madonna complex, so he didn't care at all.

Besides, Wonder Woman isn't a classic.

"Wei, do you have any other requests?

Of course, DC executives wouldn't think it was just Gal Gadot. After Gadot spent a night with Director Wei, Director Wei agreed.

Director Wei is not that stupid.

They're not that stupid.

If you want to get the leading role, you have to offer yourself. This is a common practice in Hollywood and the entertainment industry in other countries.

This only helps Gal Gadot solidify her position as the leading lady.

It is far from enough for Director Wei to agree to it.

What Director Wei wants is also very simple.
