Asian, a popular director, He Mu can't guess who that person is based on these two keywords, but when he sees the big guy Van Diesel and the handsome guy Paul Walker next to the man, if He Mu can't guess, it's a bit too ignorant.

Lin Yibin, like Ang Lee, is a Hollywood Chinese director who came out of Taiwan. However, Ang Lee became famous early. Even without "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Brokeback Mountain", his previous Chinese films such as "Sense and Emotion", "Ice Storm" and even "Wedding Banquet", were enough to gain a foothold in Hollywood. The younger Lin Yibin did not start to make his mark in Hollywood until he met "Fast and Furious 3" in 2006. This year, "Fast and Furious 4" directed by him was released, and won $145 million in North America, surpassing "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra" and "Terminator 2018", slightly lower than "Wolverine". For a racing movie, it has already reached the top of the same type of film.

In addition, "Fast Furious 4" is widely popular all over the world, accumulating a large number of loyal fans. As of now, the global box office has reached 350 million US dollars, the highest box office in the entire series. This result is second only to the global 546 million set by director Wu Yusen's "Mission Impossible 2", and the second highest global box office in Chinese directors' works. Cheng Long's highest movie box office in his solo acting career is only 347 million ("Rush Hour" 2).

"Fast and Furious 1" once won a box office of US$207 million worldwide as a dark horse, making Van Diesel and Paul Walker famous, but in the second part, the budget doubled, but the box office in North America dropped a lot. The media also commented not high. Although the overseas box office was slightly higher than the first part, the profit was definitely not as good as the first part. When the third part, Universal found a young Chinese director Lin Yibin, so there was "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift", which was not very good with the entire series. The film created a new box office low in the "Fast and Furious" series, but because it was filmed in Japan, and the production cost was very low, it made the producer Universal make a big profit, and Lin Yibin also began the indissoluble bond of his coexistence with "Fast and Furious".

When the fourth part was in the process, "Fast and Furious" was full of vitality under Lin Yibin. It set a new high in both the box office in North America and the global box office. People say that Lin Yibin saved this movie series that began to decline. Lin Yibin naturally became the hot director of Hollywood's commercial films. Now Universal has put "Fast and Furious 5" on the filming schedule, and the budget will be greatly increased, while the director is still Lin Yibin.

This is a great man. Although he is not as good as Ang Lee's award, he is more popular among Hollywood movie giants. At least he does not have the disgraceful resume of Ang Lee's filming "The Hulk". Every movie he directs is profitable, especially when he encounters "Fast and Furious", the chemistry is very obvious, and he is confident that he will bring this series to glory.

Lin Yibin was very polite and could not have imagined that the director who could make such a popular movie as "Fast and Furious" would be so peaceful. He gave people the same feeling as Ang Lee. After Cheng Long introduced He Mu to him, he also shook hands enthusiastically and said with a laugh, "I know you. Once when I went back to Taipei, my brother's daughter said that she likes you very much and is your super fan. At that time, your TV series were often played on TV."

The TV that Lin Yibin mentioned must refer to the major TV stations of Taiwan's China TV, Taiwan TV, and Sanli. He Mu's TV series are still very marketable in the Chinese-speaking circle. However, Director Lin's words also revealed that he may have never watched the movies starring He Mu, or that he does not know that He Mu is now focusing on movies.

But this cannot be blamed for him. Although He Mu has played some big productions such as "Red Cliff" and "Painted Skin" since his debut, he is basically supporting roles and can't even see the face (Xiao Yi in "Painted Skin"). The movies he starred in are all small Chinese films that cannot go abroad, and he cannot blame others for being unable to tell the movies he starred in. After all, He Mu lacks some movie works with sufficient influence.

It is unrealistic to rely on Chinese-language films to gain global influence and attention at this stage. The best box office result for pure Chinese-language films is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee, with a global 213 million US dollars. Such a successful and influential Chinese-language film box office is not as good as Ang Lee's Hollywood bad movie masterpiece "Hulk", with a global 245 million. So before finding an opportunity to successfully promote Chinese-language films, He Mu can only increase his influence by participating in Hollywood movies.

After chatting for a few words, He Mu went to another place to greet Jeff. On the way, Jeff told He Mu that he originally wanted to invite Paul Walker to star in "Cold Heart", but because "Fast 3" sold well, Paul Walker's popularity soared and his pay also surged. The high price made Jeff discouraged, so he settled for the second best and found Joseph Gordon, but Joseph's temperament was more in line with the male lead.

He Mu asked Jeff, "Is the heroine sure?"

Speaking of the heroine Jeff, he started to have a headache. In the movie, the heroine of "Cold Heart" is an important existence that is equivalent to the male first and second male second. It requires beauty and it is best to have good acting skills. There are too many Hollywood female stars, and there are many who meet the above two conditions, but it is too difficult to choose the right one.

The business philosophy of Lionsgate has always been to make big deals with small things. If you can save money, you will save money. If you can avoid celebrities, you will not need celebrities. This time, Joseph Gordon was used in "Cold Heart". In addition, there are many special effects to use in "Cold Heart", which is called a thriller, but it is a bit fantastic. The production cost is definitely much higher than that of those small B-level films. At this time, the candidates for the heroine must be subject to budget constraints.

Although Joseph Gordon is a bit famous, he is far from the front line. Not to mention He Mu, he is no different from a passerby in the United States. The appeal of the two is too limited after all, so Jeff hopes to find a powerful actress to match them. He thinks Meghan Fox, a girl from "Transformers", is a good choice, beautiful and charming, has good acting skills, and is just popular.

As a result, Jeff's boss yelled at him directly, "I only have a budget of 15 million. If you think the movie does not need to be done in the post-production or promotion, then go find Meghan!"

After "Transformers 2", Meghan Fox's net worth has risen again, completing the span that many actresses have worked hard for many years. It was rumored that her salary for starring in the thriller "Jennifer's **" was 3 million pounds. "Cold Heart" wanted to invite her to the price, which is about 5 million US dollars.

15 million is so stingy! Jeff, who is used to seeing MGM's big-handed, is really a little uncomfortable with the stingy Lion Gate, but this is how the survival of a small company is. If Jeff is the boss himself, maybe he will make a choice like this.

Excluding the popular actresses like Meghan Fox, Jeff can only continue to search for suitable candidates. There are a few actresses who have entered his range of candidates, such as the second female lead who played with Meghan Fox in "Jennifer's **", and now one of the four little actresses in Hollywood. Amanda Seyfried, who is composing, singing, dancing, acting, and acting. Blake Lively, Amanda and the rumored girl are both young girls born in the 1985s. Although she is young, she has a strong momentum and her potential cannot be underestimated. Her "money prospect" is also very optimistic, not inferior to some seniors in the entertainment industry. In addition, actresses such as Scarlett Johnson, Jessica Alba are also considering it.

Jeff cannot give He Mu a definite answer for the heroine's question for the time being. At least he will not start to consider it until the second male lead is settled.

"Look! Sam Worthington!"

"Oh, and Soldana!"

"So she looks like this!"

The appearance of a couple caused a commotion at the scene. Director James Cameron did not come tonight. He was too face-saving. A Los Angeles Film Critics Association could not invite him, but the male and female protagonists of "The Gods Come to Earth" came hand in hand.

The heroine Zoe Saldana has always shown herself as a "little blue man" in the movie, and now she shows herself as a true face, which makes people can't help but compare her with the alien girl in the movie, and she has to sigh at the exquisiteness of motion capture technology and computer special effects.

He Mu is very unfamiliar with the name Zoe Solda. He thought Cameron was a newcomer to use it, but after seeing her true face, he realized that she had also acted in blockbusters such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Star Trek". This is really not a penniless newcomer.

At the moment when "The Gods Come to Earth" is popular, Sam Worthington and Zoe Soldar, who are already famous, have long become the stars that the media is pursuing. They will inevitably become the focus of the place where they go. Even if the biggest contributor to the success of the movie is director Cameron, the two actors even share a small part of the glory that makes them popular in the entertainment industry for a while. Moreover, it is said that the God of Cards plans to film the second part, so these two are bound to be indispensable, so they will continue to become popular.

The biggest highlight of the night was not the male and female protagonists of "Avatar". At the end of the cocktail party, He Mu met several Hollywood producers and directors under the leadership of Jeff, and even had a drink with popular actresses including Solda. As the most handsome yellow man on the venue, He Mu still made some female celebrities envious.

American society may not be as open as they are in their movies, but the American entertainment industry is definitely very open. Some female stars and even female producers have already coveted He Mu. He Mu feels that he can almost leave, but Jeff said, "Wait, there is another big figure coming later."

"What big man?"

"Governor."

"Which continent is from? Asia? America?"

“California.”

"Oh? Oh!" He Mu, who was still joking just now, immediately became serious.
