Chapter 284 This is a big move
At the party on the day of the finale, Shao Yingxiong and Tom Hanks had a great chat with Denzel Washington. They didn't have Stallone when chatting with them. Jason Statham and his group were lively when they were together. The other two guys were a little rigid. However, what they said sometimes makes people understand that they shouldn't have figured out at this age. Of course, some of the admiration for acting is indispensable, mainly because Shao Yingxiong's growth is somewhat unexpected.
Generally speaking, it is extremely potential to touch the threshold after the age of 30 in the actor industry, but in the eyes of Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks, Shao Yingxiong, a man in his thirties, is already at the peak of his career. This surprise is really unbearable.
In short, this day was very enjoyable, and Shao Yingxiong had two more big names on the list of friends in Hollywood.
On the night of the closing party, Haiqing said goodbye to Shao Yingxiong and brought a bottle of good wine to Shao Yingxiong. He originally wanted to drink something with Shao Yingxiong, but was rejected by Shao Yingxiong. In the end, Haiqing did not have a good relationship, so he left the wine and returned to China.
After finishing the movie busy, Shao Yingxiong finally had free time, but he didn't have much free time. In two months, he would definitely go to the promotion of "The Expendables" when the summer season came. After the box office came out, when Stallone made a sequel, he would probably drag Shao Yingxiong if nothing unexpected happened. Even Li Lianjie had several scenes in "The Expendables 2", so Shao Yingxiong would definitely not be able to escape. Sometimes in such a man-sponsored movie, where women play soy sauce, it is also good to gangsters. At least everyone is happy together, and all kinds of jokes are not to be chewed. Stallone, the boss, is willing to stand up and shelter everyone from the wind and rain. Is there any better day than this?
After the movie was sent to edit, Nolan's "007" movie began to be formed, and after asking Shao Yingxiong to put him in the trap, Nolan came still. When he found the script, he discussed the male lead's problem with Shao Yingxiong, saying that it was a discussion. The question was: "I want to use Christian Bale, is it OK?"
He had already made up. He came to ask, obviously he was angry. At that time, Nolan might not understand the plot of Shao Yingxiong hooking up with him, but if he still couldn't figure it out later, he would not deserve to be in Hollywood. At this time, Nolan was a little angry and always felt that he had fallen into Shao Yingxiong's plan, but he didn't know how to make himself comfortable. This was why this inquiry came up. If Shao Yingxiong's old story was re-reported, he would still use Jude Law. Then Nolan would have to Christian Bale.
"You decide."
Shao Yingxiong used two words to make Nolan punch the air, and he was like coaxing his little lover, "What do you say is what?"
As a result, when the entire budget was made and the crew lineup was sent to MGM, the corresponding actor of the male lead, James Bond, had Jude Law’s name written on it!
Shao Yingxiong in the office laughed out loud. Nolan is not an idiot. He also knows that the main box office center of "007" has a UK in addition to North America. It is indeed easy to use Christian Bale, but how can Jude Law be used to ensure his money-making ability in the UK? This handsome guy who was praised by major British media has been selected into the ranks of the top ten most sexy male stars many times. Even if he can contribute at least 100 million US dollars for the British local market, he should not be confused at this time.
Shao Yingxiong approved this big stroke and the budget was 110 million US dollars. The British tax refund was basically obtained with the joining of Nolan and Jude Law, and the others were not too different.
When the crew started filming in Hollywood with great fanfare, the movie "Dear" was already finished. The movie was not difficult to edit. The main shots and plots were too obvious. Even if you don't hold the script, you can cut the movie according to the year.
When the movie was cut, Shao Yingxiong was first sent back to China for the Third Master to see it. After watching it, the Third Master called back: "Xiao Shao, you have a good grasp of the standards."
This sentence is very meaningful. If you make a movie that describes how good the United States' policies are, how many times better than China, then the radio and television will definitely not pass the review. If you make a movie that the United States has gone through so many painful years to get to where it is today. Then there will be no problem with the radio and television. At least this is not to smear China. Instead, the concern will be much better.
So, Shao Yingxiong started to submit the review using Huayi channels. He was scheduled with MGM connections, and he was not so leisurely in his leisurely days. At least he didn't have to travel for two days, but he didn't have to stay up late and could finally sleep during normal times.
"Shao, someone sent an invitation to MGM." Harry Sloan looked at Shao Yingxiong's office with a smile.
Seeing Harry Sloan's eyes like eating fly shit, Shao Yingxiong felt a little chilled on his back: "What invitation?" He always felt like Harry Sloan's eyes were like a hook.
"Disney wants to invite you to participate in Pirates of the Caribbean 4."
When Shao Yingxiong heard this, he glanced at Harry Sloan and said, "Do you mean let me go?"
"Why not?" Harry Sloan continued: "I also know that Disney invited you after Zhou's money-making ability in China in the last movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 3". I also understand that the reason they invited you was completely utilized. Shao, Hollywood has always been a world of mutual use. Do you think, have you also filmed other Hollywood big productions besides "The Expendables"? No, with the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", it means that you are no longer an outsider in Hollywood, but an actor accepted by all companies. Your actor identity is like Li Lianjie and Cheng Long will be accepted by the whole Hollywood. If you want them to call you a 'hero' rather than 'Shao', cooperating with other companies is the first step."
After thinking a little, Shao Yingxiong did have the intention of sticking to his own business. He used the "Source Code" series to win back the country for MGM and used "Hangover" to prove that MGM had a serious illness and was just about to recover from a serious illness. At present, "Hangover 2" is ready, and he happened to be in a free time. It seems that participating in "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" is not a bad thing.
If Zhou Runfa had not participated in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", it would have swept 51.95 million rmb in the box office in mainland China in one week, it would be unlikely that it would be his turn to act "Pirates of the Caribbean 4". Shao Yingxiong suddenly wanted to laugh, whether he was, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, or Zhou Runfa, these people from China could only be used to help Hollywood movies develop the Chinese market, but they were never arranged in a movie because they really needed you.
"Where is the pay?"
Harry Sloan said with a slight eyebrow: "I won't do a losing business. Your pay is $5 million, and the box office is 5% tiered."
In Hollywood in 2010, $5 million is definitely not the top-level film pay, and the 5% stratification is not the top-level stratification standard, but for the Chinese, Shao Yingxiong, this is already a higher treatment in Hollywood.
The price of Stallone invited Shao Yingxiong to star in "The Suicide Squad" for $2 million cannot continue to appear. Huayi Yiyi has also withdrawn Shao Yingxiong's price list. Disney's invitation can only prove that the news reports of him cooperating with two Oscars and actors after cooperating with superstars such as Stallone and then cooperating with charity films has a certain value in others' eyes.
This is also on the premise that Shao Yingxiong carries the mainland market.
"Where is the script?"
Shao Yingxiong asked again.
Harry Sloan said: "The script will be sent to you after signing the contract. It has not arrived yet, so I don't know much about it. However, there is one more thing I have to tell you in advance, this is the real good thing."
"What?" Shao Yingxiong asked carefully.
"Hollywood actors are coming!"
This sentence made Shao Yingxiong stunned!
Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Zhou Runfa are only for convenience when filming in the United States. Among them, Zhou Run is the Hollywood company. He is the only one who does not bring investments to the group when filming, but only earns money when filming. But these people are actively looking for them in the Hollywood Actors union!
If a Chinese movie star who has made some fame in Hollywood wants to leave his name on the Avenue of Stars, he will definitely have some communication with others. After communication, you have to be listed in the Hollywood union for convenience. The result of all this is to leave his name on the Avenue of Stars with honor. Otherwise, you will have to wait like Feng Xiaogang, after several efforts, and wait for Hollywood to fully develop the Chinese market. You need to understand the Chinese market before you remember you and give your name on the Avenue of Stars with kindness. In this way, you still have to operate the "Huayi" brothers in history. After all, they also have the intention to enter Hollywood.
What does it mean to find Hollywood actors now? Shao Yingxiong is really thinking about it. He is not so popular that he forces Hollywood actors to flatter him and insist on joining him.
"Harry." Shao Yingxiong asked without any surprise on his face: "What do they mean?"
Harry Sloan looked at Shao Yingxiong boredly and said, "Shao, sometimes being deliberately fooled by others is also part of the friendship." Then he continued, "Of course, the Hollywood Actors Union is not going to bring you, a person with a very bad relationship with the media, into the union. In my opinion, they want to use you as a bridge."
"You mean, connect to the mainland?"
"That's right!"
Harry Sloan explained: "The output of the mainland film market is increasing wildly every year, which amazed everyone. The Hollywood actors will probably show you goodwill on the grounds that you ask you to help introduce Hollywood artists to Huaxia Film Company. Once the time is ripe, maybe a Hollywood boss comes forward and wants to test the opinions of the mainland through you. The most likely thing is to change the sharing method and expand the number of films introduced!"
This is a big move!
