While cutting steak, Liang Kun told David Gefen a story, but it was not the film "picking gold".


    At present, he has no right to choose actors, let alone a controllable producer partner. He wrote the novel "crazy Asian rich" in the past two years, which may sell well all over the world, but if he changes to make a film and the producer finds a group of Asian actors he doesn''t know, he will be drunk.


    In the parallel world, Americans like this film, but Chinese audiences don''t buy it. It will be embarrassing to get it out in advance.


    The reason for the poor box office in China is very simple. The starring lineup is not good! Although the Golden Harvest publicizes the cast of all Asian stars, except Yang Ziqiong, the rest of the actors and the Chinese audience don''t know any of them. Many people feel that the protagonist is too ugly after watching the film. In particular, the hero chose a British Malaysian actor who doesn''t look like a Chinese.


    Liang Kun felt that the film was of little significance if he didn''t call his friends to Hollywood to make a play together. If Tang Yu is the heroine, so she is on the cover of time magazine, it must make her happier than any gift.


    Tang Yu also has the red task of becoming a superstar. Although she has little ambition, she just wants to be a superstar in China. At present, she has only completed 70%, and she is not famous enough.


    Liang Kun still wants to write this novel in his spare time. He will make some magic changes appropriately. This film is very meaningful. Mainstream commercial films with all Asian actors in Hollywood are too rare.


    Asian actors in Hollywood can hardly stand out and can''t meet the right role for a few years. The global box office of Memoirs of a Geisha also reached 162 million, but the investment was as high as 85 million US dollars. In fact, the box office was not as good as that of love for gold.


    Liang Kun won''t make the film "fully showing Chinese culture". That''s what the sixth generation of Chinese directors are good at. They took the dirty and poor films made by China and Chinese people to the film festival to make money by selling low-cost literary and artistic films.


    This kind of film basically has no box office and is not good-looking. However, many people say this is called art?


    Compared with the way of selling films at the film festival, Liang Kun would rather make unrealistic stories about showing off his wealth and let foreign audiences see the film version of meteor garden. Otherwise, most Westerners think that China''s development has stayed in the 1990s.


    Liang Kun had a lot of stories in his mind and had a good memory. He opened his mouth and said a paragraph.


    Men and women are perfect loving couples in the eyes of others. Every day, the hostess uses her diary to record her married life. Every wedding anniversary will carefully set up a surprise "treasure hunt" to maintain her close relationship with her husband, but life is becoming more and more insipid.


    On the fifth anniversary of their marriage, the mistress mysteriously disappeared. In a diary of the hostess, all kinds of clues left at the scene seem to indicate that this is not an ordinary case of disappearance, and there may be a murder crime split between husband and wife behind it. The disappearance of the female owner was widely exaggerated and speculated by the media, and soon became famous all over the country, and the male owner with bad conduct was pushed to the forefront of the storm.


    Is the man really the murderer who killed his wife? The plot reversed many times, which surprised people. In order to revenge her cheating husband, her wife carefully planned a fake murder. Later, the wife did not hesitate to create a real murder in order to return to her husband.


    Liang Kun''s story is the famous American best-selling novel the lost lover. With only a brief introduction, David Gefen thought the story was very interesting.


    In addition to the love of picking gold, Liang Kun''s favorite novel is the lost lover. This is the third novel by Gillian Flynn, an American female writer. It was published in 2012 and ranked first in the New York Times bestseller list for eight consecutive weeks, with sales exceeding 2 million copies a year.


    This is an impressive best-selling miracle. It''s a book in New York, no matter who you are. This book was honored as the "top ten favorite books" of Oprah magazine in 2012!


    In 2014, the novel was adapted into a film directed by David Finch and was highly praised after it was released. Pei Chunhua won the Oscar nomination for best actress, and Ben Affleck won the golden plum best redemption award.


    Big Ben won the "redemption Award" added by golden sour plum, which aims to encourage filmmakers who have won golden sour plum but are more frustrated and brave in their performing arts career. Many people think he did a good job in this film. Although he has facial paralysis as always, it seems that the man should have facial paralysis.


    Liang Kun is not confident to be a good director at his current level, but if he plays a leading actor, he is confident to dump a few blocks in acting skills.


    Gefen asked with a smile, "how did you come up with this story about marriage? It doesn''t fit your age at all?"


    "I haven''t really stolen a tomb when I write a long novel. I have this inspiration, probably because I have a rich emotional life, so I think more." Liang Kun explained.


    He can only explain in this way. We won''t be surprised if we make more brain burning films in the future.


    Gefen''s emotional life seems to be very rich when he thinks that Hamasaki, a Japanese singer, stays at Liang Kun''s house for vacation. He thought again about Liang Kun''s fame in Asia and guessed that Liang Kun''s girlfriend must be more than Hamasaki.


    "Write this story first. If there are many reversal plots like you said, I think Steven might want to make a film," Geffen laughed.


    "My novel must be suitable for making movies and will sell well." Liang Kun is very confident. The plot of the novel is particularly attractive. It is impossible to replace it with a Chinese author, and there will be no market for Chinese male protagonists.


    Later, a Japanese drama "my terrible wife" with a similar concept to the "disappeared lover" was also popular, and the audience liked the plot of reversal and reversal.


    They talked about music for a while, and Gefen decided to hype it like Liang Kun thought. The three songs and movies are released at the same time. The songwriters and singers are not published on the Internet or in the movies, but only guide the audience to guess. After the film is released for two to three weeks and the box office breaks out, the director will sing again to make gimmicks and hype each other.


    Directly saying that the theme song was sung by Liang Kun may have the opposite effect. Many people will think that he has done too much and will doubt the quality of the film. Moreover, it is difficult for Chinese singers to make achievements, even if they give themselves an English name.


    After dinner, they went home respectively. Liang Kun told Hamasaki about today, and he had a new direction.


    The next day, Gefen visited Liang Kun''s house again.


    After being invited twice, Liang Kun proposed to invite Gefen to Chinese food. Two children from Spielberg had visited once before, and they all admired Liang Kun''s cooking.


    It was reported by the media that visiting a friend''s house seems to have a better relationship than eating in a restaurant.


    Hamasaki has seen all kinds of opening and hanging of Liang Kun. After three days of practice, she ended her holiday and called her assistant and bodyguard back to Japan. Because she didn''t go out much, the media didn''t know that she lived with Liang Kun for some time.


    Hamasaki has many jobs and can''t stay in the United States for a long time. Because her popularity in Japan is unmatched, Aihui company hopes that she will hold more concerts and occasionally produce a single even if she can''t produce an album.


    In addition, she will promote "very perfect" in Japan, which is scheduled to be released in October. In September, the eraser in my brain was released in Japan. It was all performed by Liang Kun.


    On August 5, Liang Kun arrived in the United States for just one month. The preliminary work of happy death has been prepared and is about to start shooting.


    Producer Stewart is very efficient. He has many partners, photographers, makeup artists and so on. Supporting actors in Hollywood are a lot more. Supporting actors who don''t have many parts don''t have to choose very carefully. They are of the right age and don''t have a bad image.


    As for the financial conference and the like, it''s easier. Small budget films don''t have to be calculated. There are no popular actors in this film. The budget is not set at 5 million. If necessary, the budget can be appropriately increased to 6 million. If the film is made smoothly, it can also be made after 4 million.


    The shooting place is an ordinary university in Los Angeles during the summer vacation. The students don''t start school until September. Before school starts, the crew will not be disturbed by too many onlookers after filming the scenes in the school. If you want to find a quiet environment to make this film during school, it is much more difficult.


    On that day, Liang Kun met the main members of the crew. Except for the extras who didn''t have a few scenes, everyone came to the school.


    Everyone greeted Liang Kun warmly. Even those who are shy and don''t like to talk will smile at him.


    Although Hollywood has always been a "producer centered system", Liang Kun undoubtedly ranks second in the crew. He is both a director and a screenwriter. No one dares to look down on him, only people want to benefit from him.


    Liang Kun looked at some people''s available tasks by the way. Just look at orange and red, almost all related to career. The actors are eager to become famous, and the staff want to do a good job behind the scenes.


    Some supporting actress even wanted to have a relationship with Liang Kun, just for a few more lines to make the supporting actress more distinctive. Many people feel that being able to play a supporting role with lines is an opportunity, even if the film is a small cost.


    This reminds Liang Kun of Zhou Xingchi''s film the king of comedy. Like Yin Tianqiu, they think they are actors. In fact, they are just "dead running".


    When can they play the leading role? Probably in a dream. What crew will use people with ordinary image and non academic background to break into Hollywood?


    Most people are not even qualified to join the actors'' Union. If you are qualified, the membership fee of the actors'' Union in Los Angeles, New York and Miami is $3000, plus the handling fee of $58 in the first half of the year, you have to pay $3058.


    The income of extras is not high. Why do they want to join the Union? Because the trade union stipulates that when hiring extras, producers must hire a certain number of Union Extras before hiring Non Union Extras. To put it bluntly, you have to compete in Hollywood.


    Do non professional actors have no future? Of course, there will be exceptions. When Liang Kun watched the task, he was attracted by an actress from Australia
