Chapter 589 There Is Still One Short of the Four Great Ladies.

Chapter 589 There is still one missing among the four great ladies...

Hollywood is known as the world's top film studio and is itself a paradise for capital and business.

But there are actually not many A-level projects every year...

Large companies have their own partners, and high-quality resources have long been divided up.

What about those new actors with good looks?

It’s okay, excluding A-level productions, there are thousands of B-level productions in North America every year...

If you don’t have many connections, you can only start leveling up from B-level movies.

But... there are still very few who can really break out of B-movies.

Again, class transition is not easy!

Jessica Alba is one of them. In the early years, she could only appear in "The Night in the Forbidden Room"...

So does Alexandra Daddario.

At first, I could only play soy sauce in horror movies...

B-movie actors are in a very awkward position. They often have to work hard to improve. Those who have no money and power can only rely on their bodies to get through!

Therefore, many of them simply took off their clothes and became adult stars!

Oh, Daddario got the role, and by the way, he also reserved the role of the Cullen family girl for Amber Heard...

After the audition, Shen Xudong asked Joseph Drake out of curiosity: "Our movie also costs 40 million US dollars. Apart from the heroine, do your old friends have any ideas for other roles?"

Joseph Drake shook his head: "No..."

"Just wait, they'll regret it!"

Shen Xudong packed his bag and was about to leave the audition room. Joseph Drake thought of something and asked: "...Do you think there is room for improvement in Alexandra's artistic accomplishment?"

Give me a room and let me impart artistic experience?

Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then said: "...I want to have a good rest tonight, maybe tomorrow..."

After all, I was feeling dizzy after flying for 14 hours.

"Okay, then I'll make arrangements..."

Then, Joseph Drake asked: "What about Christine? I think you need to get to know our heroine before the official filming begins!"

“…”

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment. You know her parents. In a sense, you are her elder. Is this really okay?

Before Shen Xudong could speak, Joseph Dredger explained: "...it was Christine's request. She is very curious about you!"

"...Just look at the arrangements." After a pause, Shen Xudong added: "I can go to bed later tonight..."

It’s Kristen Stewart after all…

Moreover, it has unlimited youthful vitality, full of collagen, and looks at its peak!

Shen Xudong has already taught the first two of the four young actors the art essence from the East, so we can't favor one over the other.

What's wrong with being tired?

We cannot delay people’s pursuit of art.

Besides, as the chief producer and chief investor, Shen Xudong needs to familiarize himself with his heroine in advance. Is there any problem?

Well, the only thing left to win the third place among the four actresses is...Emma Roberts!

As for Alexandra…

One sheep is being driven, two sheep are being driven...

It’s all for art!

Oh, Shen Xudong took a photo and sent it to Zhao Xin. It was an artistic photo of Alexandra. He left a message: "This is the supporting actress in "The Twilight Saga". You learn English well and I will let you come to the United States next year to make a film." Filmmaker, the second part of "The Twilight Saga" will also add new characters! ’

Well, Xudong has brothers in his heart. He eats meat himself and doesn’t forget to let his brothers drink soup...

Zhao Xin replied, 'I think I can go to the United States to study. After all, there are more English teachers there...(﹃)'

‘Come to America? Let me ask you, how do you say art exchange in English? ’

'…have no idea. ’

Shen Xudong replied: ‘Learn sexual skills! ’

…

In fact, this year’s August schedule is also very intense.

On August 10, four new movies were released, "Rush Hour 3", "Stardust" (Paramount's $70 million fantasy film, which attracted Robert De Niro and Claire Danes to help out), "Dad's Summer Camp" ( Sony R-rated comedy, starring Cuba Gooding Jr., costing $60 million), "The Visit" (starring Nicole Kidman, costing $80 million, a suspense crime film)...

"The Fault in Our Stars" will be released on August 17, and there are also many new movies "The Comeback", "Slasher's Paradise", "Lucky Chuck"...

To be honest, Shen Xudong was a little surprised when he saw this theater poster - he didn't expect that he had never heard of so many movies.

Either the reputation is bad, or the box office is a flop...

Joseph Drake said: "Lionsgate helped us secure 3,017 theaters to open the film, and we conducted internal test screenings. Everyone is very optimistic about "The Fault in Our Stars"..."

"So how much did they expect?"

"At least 80 million US dollars..."

"Okay... I'm going to meet Jackie Chan... Do you want to come with me?"

"Jackie Chan..." Joseph Drake was a little excited: "He is my idol...you want to meet him?"

Shen Xudong can probably understand... Jackie Chan has almost become a cultural phenomenon in the United States, especially in Hollywood - Hollywood discriminates against Asians. But everyone adores Jackie Chan!

His creative influence on the entire action movie genre and his influence on the world are completely beyond the imagination of many people - so he can win the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement.

Many Hollywood action movies even copy the storyboards from Jackie Chan's movies...

As a producer, Joseph Drake admires Jackie Chan, which is quite normal.

Shen Xudong asked: "I feel like "Rush Hour 3" didn't do well at the box office?"

"...It's already very good, "Mission: Impossible 3" is only over 100 million...The market for pure action movies is shrinking..."

"Rush Hour 3" opened with $50.23 million!

"Mission: Impossible 3" opened with $48 million...

Shen Xudong was quite...surprised. He never expected that Hollywood would compare "Rush Hour" to "Mission: Impossible"...

After a pause, Joseph Drake said: "...Give me Jackie Chan, and I can also make an action movie with a box office of over 100 million!"

Oh, the announced cost of "Rush Hour 3" is US$140 million, and Jackie Chan's salary is US$15 million + 15% of global revenue (including video tapes), with revenue exceeding US$50 million...

Oh, "Rush Hour 3" won the 2007 North American disc rental championship...

"Just blow it..."

There are already very few scripts suitable for Asians in Hollywood - if the screenwriter is not tuned, he may write specifically around Jackie Chan, because Jackie Chan is irreplaceable. If he doesn't take it, the project will be rejected, and then the energy he put into writing the script will be in vain!

The two chatted for a while in the car and then arrived at their destination - a hotel.

"Rush Hour 3" is released, Jackie Chan will definitely go out to promote it, and Shen Xudong came to the hotel to meet him.

The main reason is that Jackie Chan is too busy. He just finished filming "Rush Hour 3" and immediately joined the cast of "The King of Kung Fu". "The King of Kung Fu" is over. Shen Xudong wanted to ask him about the filming time of "The Old Man"...

In fact, it is to compete for the schedule with "Shinjuku Incident"!

If you don't grab it, he might actually go to shoot "Shinjuku Incident", Golden Harvest's big production next year, a "Dragon Detective", a "Bad Guy"...

Can't let go of the chain!
