Martin is a senior agent with many years of experience and rich network resources. The only regret is that he has not brought out any big stars.
Now he has many artists, including new comers and well-known old people, but what he values most is Kristen Stewart.
Because with his own experience and vision, he believes that Christine has great potential and will be among the first-line Hollywood in time. It not only brought him rich benefits, but also brought a complete end to his regret.
So Martin attaches great importance to Christine. I don''t care if she is cheated by Mai Xiaoyu. I also contact her with high-quality film appointments and high-quality advertising and commercial activities as much as possible.
After meeting with Mai Xiaoyu, Christine attended two commercial activities and made an advertisement, which Martin took over for her before.
In late January, when Christine finished the announcement and returned to Los Angeles again, Martin brought good news and settled the film appointment for her new play instant.
A few days ago, Christine declined Mai Xiaoyu''s invitation on the grounds of "having dinner with the producer". It can''t be said to be a complete deception.
She did have dinner with the producer of instant, just before.
"Instant occurrence" is a comedy. Barry Levinson, the director, won the 61st Oscar for best director with his biographical film "Rain Man" in the last century.
Starring Robert De Niro, the old Oscar winner; Sean Penn, the film winner of the three major international film festivals in Europe and the Oscar winner; Bruce Willis is a man abandoned by Oscar, but no one can doubt his status and popularity in American film.
There are also a number of famous stars such as Robin Wright pan, John ttoro, Stanley Tuzi, Michael winkert and Catherine kina to participate in the shooting, which can be described as a gathering of stars and a strong lineup.
Martin won the role for Christine, which is the daughter of Robert De Niro. And can get the opportunity to cooperate with many big stars, which is of great help to any actor.
"Christine, take a few days off. I''ll make an appointment with Mr. Robert to see when he has time. Let''s have lunch together."
"OK, Martin, thank you."
Christine trusts Martin, who always arranges everything for her.
She took the recent newspapers and looked through them one by one.
"What are you looking for?" Martin asked.
"I want to see if Mai''s movie is turned on."
"Christine, do you think the media will pay attention to a film made by a Chinese company, and the investment is only 50000 US dollars? I don''t think the Chinese media will be interested."
Christine suddenly realized: "you''re right. Then, could you please check for me? Has Mai''s movie started? It seems to be called" that man from Earth "
"It''s this man from earth."
"You have a good memory, hee hee."
Martin looked at her reluctantly: "you pay too much attention to that Chinese man. He doesn''t help your career. The scandal between you and him also doesn''t help you. It will only bring trouble."
"He is the author of twilight."
"I''m still saying that he has no right to decide the protagonist unless he plans to make a Chinese film. You won''t forget that after seeing you that day, he has been talking about his film with an investment of $50000. He rarely mentioned twilight and didn''t invite you."
"That''s because your men hurt him."
"Oh, damn it, he hurt the Daniel brothers, for which I paid the expensive medical expenses, which was an extra cost. In addition, the Daniel brothers were very angry, and they threatened to take revenge on the Oriental."
"Then we have to inform Mai."
Martin exposed Christine''s careful thinking: "you can call him directly."
"It''s easier to get a good impression by reminding him face to face. Didn''t you say he can use magical Oriental witchcraft? Maybe he will agree to use witchcraft on me to make my acting career more smooth."
"Well, well, I''ll ask someone to see if his $50000 film is turned on..."
……
Just when Christine was going to find Mai Xiaoyu, sissy and Li Xue also wanted to find Mai Xiaoyu because they were in trouble.
When she came to Los Angeles this time, sissy mainly attended the meeting of the main creators of the "king of Kung Fu" crew. All the main creators came together to discuss the plot and shooting plan.
In recent months, China''s big cheap and huge cheap have successively launched super blockbusters cooperating with Hollywood, which has attracted much attention in China. Among them, the king of Kung Fu is one of the most eye-catching films.
Two Chinese international action stars joined together, and the two martial arts styles were presented for the first time. How wonderful the martial arts part is worth looking forward to; Actresses are no different. Li Bingyu and sissy have their own strengths and have a large number of fans in China.
Yihua has also made great efforts to publicize the film. It has invited two Chinese international action stars to join, which has greatly improved their success rate in opening the international film market. Naturally, Yihua attaches great importance to it.
In addition, Li Bingyu''s contract is about to expire. In the face of her peers, she is eager to try with a small hoe, waving a banknote card and a human card. Yihua also wants to take this opportunity to keep Li Bingyu and help her open the international market.
Among the melon eaters, many people were very excited and cheered that Chinese films could go abroad, cooperate with Hollywood, meet international standards and be recognized by the international film world.
They just don''t know that Huamei co production is not as beautiful as they thought. Huaxia film company has to pay a lot and take huge risks, because the Yankees will not invest with real gold and silver.
The film companies in China invest money and the production teams in Hollywood take charge of the planning, production, distribution and global screening of films. This is the so-called co production.
No way. In terms of culture, China is in a weak position. The west is strong and I am weak. I can only go to sea by boat.
Hollywood, with a developed film industry, has a high position in the global film industry and a perfect distribution mechanism.
Whether in the domestic or overseas markets of the United States, Hollywood blockbusters often have completed the links of market, distribution and cooperation in the shooting process, so as to ensure that the films can be displayed in a wider range.
In contrast, many Chinese films are too cheap to touch the threshold of overseas distribution, let alone complete those links in advance.
Just like Meng Ren a few years ago, for the overseas release of deadly ID, Mai Xiaoyu personally went to Cannes to play the routine and called a lot of resources. Rao is so. When he was released in the United States, he also encountered Yankees playing hooligans.
If he didn''t have a lot of routines, the Yankees would succeed.
It''s a common practice for Yankees to play hooligans internationally because they have big fists.
Sissy also encountered Yankee hooligans.
It is also the norm in the entertainment industry for the main creators to discuss the plot, clarify their work priorities and make final preparations for startup. Let''s get familiar with each other, talk about our views on the script, adjust the schedule according to the shooting plan, and promote the film through the media.
At the beginning, the meeting went smoothly. We couldn''t talk and laugh with each other, at least there was no gunpowder smell.
Sissy and Li Bingyu both know that the two International Kung Fu stars in China and the American hero are the real winners in the king of Kung Fu. Although they are heroines, they still can''t avoid the suspicion of vases.
Therefore, unless it involves their own drama, schedule and other topics related to themselves, they rarely take the initiative to speak.
However, when it comes to the emotional drama between the "Golden Swallow" and the hero "Jason", a problem arises.
According to the plot, there has always been a hazy love between the "Golden Swallow" played by sissy and the "Jason" played by the American hero. In the end, there will be an emotional outbreak, which is commonly known as kissing.
Earlier, when Li Xue helped sissy talk about a film appointment, she specially agreed that sissy would not make a kiss. Although the crew didn''t understand it, they also agreed.
However, at the meeting, the American hero suddenly proposed that he had never heard of the "kiss for", which was ridiculous, and sissy''s doing so was a great disrespect for herself. He asked that when shooting kissing scenes, he must really kiss and not use doubles.
Sissy certainly won''t agree.
Li Xue retorted on the spot in fluent English: "this was already agreed during the previous negotiation. I don''t think it''s necessary to explore now."
"Your agreement made me think you were unprofessional. Besides, I wasn''t there when you talked to the crew. Ryan, Robert and John, what do you say?"
Robert is the director of the king of Kung Fu, Ryan is the producer at the meeting, and John is the screenwriter.
Li Xue also looked at them and let them decide.
Director Robert hesitated and nodded, "your practice is really unprofessional. Unless you are a minor girl, I haven''t heard of any actress who needs a double when shooting a kiss."
Screenwriter John also said: "I actually don''t understand what you do. You know, it''s not a simple kiss. According to my design, it will be a very beautiful picture and very moving. If you use a double, you can''t express this beautiful artistic conception."
Ryan, one of the producers, didn''t say anything, but silence was also an attitude and acquiesced in Robert''s statement.
"However, according to our prior agreement, crystal does not shoot kissing, and this is specifically stated in the contract." in the face of Hollywood producers, directors and screenwriters, Li Xue did not flinch and argued.
"So I think it is necessary for you to reconsider the supplementary terms in the contract to avoid the outside world thinking that your Chinese actors are not professional enough and lack enough respect." the American deputy director said.
Li Xue looked at him and retorted: "aren''t you afraid that the outside world will question the contractual spirit that you Americans have always advertised?"
A good meeting turned into a noisy market, which dissatisfied producer Ryan.
He knocked on the table, frowned and said, "gentlemen and ladies, I need to remind you that the meeting of the crew of the king of Kung Fu held here in the United States is not a noisy downtown."
This seems fair and seems to calm the quarrel, but his sentence "held in the United States" is enough to show his preference.
Li Xue was not stupid. She smiled and asked, "so, Mr. Ryan, what''s your opinion?"
"I am one of the producers. My job is to ensure that the play can start shooting smoothly and finish on schedule. I don''t know what your country thinks of the film crew, but in our United States, actors should accept the reasonable suggestions put forward by the director and screenwriter."
"Even if it violates the spirit of the contract advocated by your country?"
Another American deputy director said, "this is a Hollywood style Chinese kung fu film, which will be shown not only in thousands of cinemas in the United States, but also in many countries around the world. If you don''t want to shoot, you can terminate the contract."
The tone is frivolous.
You can say that others have the capital to win, but they have the capital to win!
People go up, water flows down.
Looking at the global film world, Hollywood is the absolute peak!
"The king of Kung Fu" has attracted much attention. How many people want to play the role of sissy, but they can''t play it. American producers don''t care about replacing sissy.
Li Xue knew that "the king of Kung Fu" had a rare opportunity and was very important to sissy, so she always refuted it in the spirit of contract. But she didn''t expect that the other party was so shameless that she threatened to terminate the contract.
It''s true that the words came from the deputy director, but the producer, director and screenwriter didn''t say anything. Obviously, they acquiesced in the threat of the deputy director.
And sissy, she never spoke. The clenched silver teeth and white pretty face were enough to show her anger.
Seeing his sister being pinched by foreigners, Li Bingyu will get up and speak for Li Xue.
Her agent was quick-sighted and grabbed her and motioned her not to participate.
"The king of Kung Fu" is a co production, and Yihua''s investment is true, but the American producer is very strong. Just like in other Sino US cooperation projects, the United States has always been in a strong position.
After such a delay, Li Xue slowed down and said, "is it because we insist on the spirit of the contract? Crystal has been preparing hard for this play for the past few months and has pushed off many film contracts. If you want to terminate the contract, you can compensate us for our losses!"
"Li Xue, don''t say a word. It''s just a kissing scene. Is it necessary to make it to this point?"
"This is a gorgeous and beautiful co production, not a film and television drama invested by your cute people. Since you cooperate with Hollywood, you should abide by other people''s rules."
"Yes, pay attention to international influence."
"It''s a rare opportunity. Don''t take good measures just because of your whim."
"Sissy has never made a kiss before. With the help of this joint shooting, she launched her first kiss on the screen. This gimmick is also good."
"It should be regarded as a friendly kiss to witness the relationship between China and the United States."
……
Some of the Chinese filmmakers present spoke one after another. You and I persuaded Li Xue and sissy to give in.
Listening to the compatriots'' kindness, Li Xue was not angry, but felt pitiful and sad.
Today, the cause of the matter is not big, just because it is questioned whether the kissing scene uses a double hero.
The leading actor, screenwriter, deputy director, director and producer may not have had close friends before, but they have maintained a high degree of consistency in supporting their own people and treating foreigners.
In contrast, some of their compatriots are still elite leaders in some aspects of the domestic film industry. However, in front of Americans, they are like a
She stood up and calmly said to those people, "I''m fighting for the legitimate rights and interests of our company''s artists with the American producers. Note that it''s the legitimate rights and interests, which are clearly stated in the contract and protected by the laws of China and the United States. As compatriots, I don''t expect your support, but I also hope you don''t hold us back!"
