I have become top-tier, so I come to proficiency

Chapter 330: I can’t play the second male lead, so I really introduced a male lead. I recommend an interesting person.

Los Angeles, inside an office building.

On both sides of the round table conference room, there were several people sitting.

Vin Diesel was among a few people, holding a thick stack of documents in his hand and looking at them carefully.

There was some silence in his expression.

After a long time, he suddenly asked: "Jack, I chose to cooperate with your company out of trust in you before, but now that you have changed your mind temporarily, you still need to give me an explanation for this matter."

The man in a suit sitting opposite looked a little guilty.

But he forced a smile and then explained: "Mr. Vin Diesel, please accept my apology.

In fact, a temporary change of heart is not the result we want. It’s just that there are some differences between you and the character in the script. As you know, the protagonist in the script, Michael Scofield, is different from you. It's a completely different image.

Of course, we also hope that you can play another important role in the script. "

Vin Diesel shook his head: "The reason why I chose you is because I came here for the protagonist. I made an agreement with you all at the time, but now you are treating me like this. Please forgive me and I cannot accept it.

Perhaps any actor would not be able to accept your apology. "

The man felt a little helpless after hearing this, and poured a glass of brandy for Vin Diesel himself, and then lit a thick cigar with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Vin Diesel, we are actually very sincere. If it were another script, our director would probably turn a blind eye.

But the drama "Prison Break" is different. Our company has put a lot of effort into it, so there must be no flaws at all.

If it doesn’t match the character in the script, the result will definitely not be the best. You are a very professional actor, just like you filmed The Fast and the Furious last year. If the character deviates from the script, it will be impossible even if you think about it. To achieve the final result, right?
So I think you should understand what I’m saying. In fact, other roles are also very suitable for you, and there are many roles. If possible, we are willing to continue to invite you to participate with the same remuneration. You see this May I? "

Vin Diesel thought for a while after hearing this.

To be honest, he had no intention of getting too entangled with the other party.

Of course, this matter was not his fault in the first place, and it was impossible to suffer a loss.

After all, the leading male role in front of him was eventually replaced by someone else, so he was definitely unhappy.

And this is the first time he has chosen to shoot such a long series that is different from a movie.

He had read this script several times, and it was very exciting. The pace was as fast as a movie. He knew that as long as he finished filming it seriously, the results of this drama would definitely be explosive.

So he is what you really don’t want to see, the cooked duck just flies away.

Just out of respect for film and television and this job, he also knew that from his appearance to his personality and the roles he had performed all year round, he was really not suitable for the male lead in the play.

So there is only one step to take.

At this time, the other party said that he could continue to participate in other roles with the same salary.

Vin Diesel thinks it's still acceptable, at least it's okay to make enough money.

Somewhat gratifying.

But at this moment, he wanted to complain about Su Mu.

Originally, Su Mu had chosen this drama for him, and there was another movie at the same time. He gave up the movie and chose the TV series because of his trust in Su Mu.

It just seems to be a bit deviated from what was predicted, and the process is not smooth.

He was a little doubtful whether Su Mu was taking advantage of him to have fun.

But now it’s too late to ride a tiger. If you want to quit at this time, you won’t get anything.

Vin Diesel threw the document in his hand on the table.

He did not immediately respond to the plan given by the other party, but changed the subject and asked about another matter.

"Okay, since you have said so, I can consider it, but before answering, I am a little curious, who are the male leads you want to choose?

If I am not suitable, I would also like to know what kind of actor is suitable, from Hollywood?Or something else..."

After hearing Vin Diesel's words, several people across from him smiled bitterly.

The middle-aged man sitting nearby spoke first.

“According to the director and producer, they hope to find an actor with a lot of popularity and commercial value.

Of course, this is just one of the conditions. More importantly, on the basis of conforming to the prototype, it would be best to expand the TV series "Prison Break" to overseas areas. Therefore, it is best to have some international influence. Of course, there is no Yes, we are confident that we can spread this TV series around the world.

This is a new challenge. In previous years, it was all about movies, but long-form dramas were not taken seriously due to their low cost. Perhaps this rule should be changed. "

After hearing this, Vin Diesel smiled: "So, can I know who your candidates are?"

The man nodded: "It doesn't matter, I can tell you, Mr. Vin Diesel, that at present, we have about three people we have targeted, one of whom is Russell Russell, who once played the role in the war movie 'The Wire'.

The other one is the male lead in "The Wall Street Journal", Dimdevic.

The last one is Blanche. "

What I heard was after three choices.

Vin Diesel just withdrew his gaze.

Then he silently looked at the contract on the table and nodded.

If this is the case, then he still agrees with it more or less.

If the other party replaces three actors who are not as good as him in terms of strength, status and popularity, then Vin Diesel will definitely not be particularly balanced in his heart.

But he knew almost all of the actor lists given by the three parties above.

Qilu Russell is one of the most famous Oscar-winning actors in Hollywood. Compared with Will Johnson who filmed Shadow Man, this one is more senior and has the ability.

Perhaps the commercial value is slightly inferior to the other two.

But his acting skills should be the most powerful.

The second one, Dimdevic, is one of the most commercialized Hollywood movie stars in recent years. He has filmed many special effects blockbusters before, and this year he is also trending to be the best, with a salary as high as 7000 million US dollars.

This is definitely a popular actor in the current box office market.

And the last one is not an actor from the United States, but an actor from the UK next door.

Although it is not local, its popularity is still quite good, at least Vin Diesel is inferior to it in comparison.

The other party has made several highly influential films, which are profound and popular.

So if these three people want to take his place, Vin Diesel is still convinced.

But I don’t know how,

When he saw the names of these three people, another person's name drifted through his mind unconsciously.

If he comes, will things become interesting?

Vin Diesel still remembers a phone call he had with the other party not long ago.

He seemed to have said that he would introduce business to him.

'If you can't get the second male lead, just introduce a first male lead and play whatever you want...'

At that time, he still thought that he could say such outrageous things?

But now, the more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes.

Vin Diesel suddenly became interested. He looked up at the man in front of him, and then said:
"Okay Jack, thank you for your answer. Since you said so before, I agree. I can play other roles with the same salary."

"That's great!" The other party seemed very happy when he heard it.

Vin Diesel then continued: "But to be honest... if you ask these three big-name actors, they may not necessarily agree. After all, movies are the big screen. Am I right?"

The man nodded.

"I know what you mean, but we also want to try our best to communicate with them as much as possible. It would be best if we could invite one.

After all, it is indeed difficult to play the role of the male protagonist of "Prison Break" well. We are also trying our best to screen, but the requirements are too high. You have also read the script, which requires a lot of skills.

Otherwise it is difficult to interpret perfection. "

Vin Diesel smiled: "Jack, to tell you the truth, I actually have a good candidate. Of course, I only recommend it to you. It's up to you whether you choose.

But I can guarantee that this person is definitely capable and can perform well. Why not add him to the selection process and then you can investigate and investigate. "

"Oh?" The man was a little curious when he heard this: "Mr. Vin Diesel wants to recommend an actor to us, who do you know? If possible, we are completely able to accept this suggestion."

Vin Diesel's expression became mysterious, and then he pointed at himself: "Have you seen my Fast and Furious movie last year?"

"Seen."

"Besides me, there is another person. Oh, by the way, there should be a lot of news about him recently. He is the actor from China, Su Mu."

"!!!"

"???"

...

...

...

The shooting days always go very quickly, and before I knew it, it was February again, and the Chinese New Year was about to begin.

Just as usual.

This year's Spring Festival, Su Mu, Qian Jida, Xiao Juzi and Master Zhu still spent the Spring Festival together.

And I am also on a business trip and cannot go home.

But the current situation is indeed different from before.

Even though I was in a different place at that time, at least I was still in China, which gave me a sense of the New Year.

But now we are in a completely new environment, and we can’t even eat dumplings.

And there is a new challenge before them, which is Su Mu's development in Hollywood.

Now that you have come out, you must not go back empty-handed.

The responsibility now on Su Mu is actually far greater than before.

Fans in China are watching.

However, in such a new environment, many things have to be started all over again.

Even on the set of Spider-Man, he won some applause and praise from the media.

But this can only be called a splash.

If you want to truly stand on the same level as those international giants, you still have a long way to go.

Su Mu had also been mentally prepared. He didn't think that just one Spider-Man film and a few life-threatening stunts would be recognized by the entire market.

Even in China, he gradually won his current top status through a large number of works.

Now that we have come to open up wasteland on the other side of the ocean, we need to be more solid and steady every step of the way.

So he was not in a hurry. As soon as he achieved some small results and recognition, he asked Qian Jida to find someone to manage and build momentum.

This kind of thing is flashy and OK for fun in China, but it's not very practical in Hollywood.

in the hotel.

Qian Jida poured himself a glass of boiling water and sipped it while looking at the information in his hand.

This is the channel through which he has come to know both indirectly and directly on the Hollywood side in recent months.

There are Hollywood investors, people from film and television companies, as well as some big brands and celebrity banquets, etc.

These are the business sectors that Sumu will expand in the future.

As a qualified agent, it is natural to prepare for a rainy day.

When your own artists are filming their current work, they need to think about the next development in advance.

For example, after Spider-Man is filmed, how will Su Mu use the popularity and momentum brought by the Spider-Man movie to help him develop subsequent business? How much will it increase the commercial value? What kind of endorsements can he accept in the United States? …and so on.

After all, I am here to make money.

If you can't maximize your benefits and earn more than you can at home, then there's no point in traveling across the ocean.

The purpose of going international is to reach the top of business.

After all, the endorsement fees are different for those who are top in the world and top in China.

Of course, in addition to the above, how Su Mu receives the second drama is also a key issue.

Qian Jida looked at the email and then smiled: "There have been a lot of invitations to you from China recently. Do they think that after filming this year, you will definitely go back next year? Look at it like this. I’m very optimistic that you can establish yourself in Hollywood.”

On the sofa, Su Mu was eating fruit and shook his head indifferently: "Just don't answer the call. Unless you know me, I won't answer anyone else."

Qian Jida: "Director Wang Wei has contacted you."

Su Ting nodded: "I promised director Wang Wei before to write a good script for him, but I have been so busy recently that I forgot about it."

Qian Jida: "Then what are you going to do?"

Su Mu: "It's okay. I already have the script. Once the price is agreed upon, I can just send it to him."

Qian Jida nodded, then looked strangely: "What about Fang Yuzhi? I've sent you WeChat messages a few times. I've seen them all, so why don't you prepare...hehe."

Su Mu sighed helplessly.

If we want to say that the most difficult thing in the world, besides double-sided tape, is women.

In the past few months, Fang Yuzhi often sent him WeChat messages, although the language seemed more appropriate.

But there is still a feeling between the lines that I want to be with you and then use your talents for nothing.

Naturally, Su Mu couldn't give the other party this opportunity.

Anyway, if you want a script, you can just talk about money.

We are chatting.

Suddenly, a message came from Su Mu's cell phone.

He looked down and saw that it belonged to Vin Diesel, but the content was a bit unexpected.

[Vin Diesel: Sumu, Spider-Man is almost finished. Are you already looking sad and wondering where your next movie will be?
Haha, as a friend, let me help you solve it!

You can’t win the second male lead, but you have a chance to compete for the first male lead. Do you want to try? ]
a long time.

[Su Mu: No, I’m going to Hawaii for half a year. ]
[Vin Diesel: NO!Sumu! Dont! please!]
[Su Mu: Okay, then give me more money for "Fast and Furious 2". ]
[Vin Diesel: Brother... I recommend you to play the male lead in "Prison Break". You can't do this to me...]
[Su Mu: (乛乛) Oh? ]
[Vin Diesel: Really! ]
[Su Mu: Please elaborate. ]
[Vin Diesel:...]
