Text_Chapter 764 Male Number One
Ye Zhentian!
When Lu Yi heard these three words, his mind was blown away. He never expected that Ye Zhentian would call him at this time?
When he went down the mountain, he was looking for Ye Zhentian and Ye Tianxin, but he never found it. He only came to Beijing after seeing Ye Tianxin on TV. After entering Beijing, he learned from Ye Tianxin that Ye Zhentian lived in seclusion in Jiangzhou.
After taking a deep breath, Lu Yi greeted, "Hello Grandpa!"
While speaking, he was guessing in his heart, what did Ye Zhentian call him at this time?
"Xiao Yi, are you doing well recently?" Ye Tianxin asked gently.
"Yeah, it's okay." Lu Yi asked: "Grandpa, are you in good health?"
"I'm in good health. By the way, Xiaoyi, when will your master come to Jiangzhou?" Ye Tianxin asked.
"He will come to Jiangzhou on October 1st, and then he will accompany me to Beijing in a few days."
"Okay, that's it. After your master arrives in Jiangzhou, we will meet and talk about your marriage with Tianxin by the way." Ye Zhentian said.
Lu Yi respectfully agreed: "Okay, grandpa."
"Well, I'm fine. I know what you do, it's good and good. I'm optimistic about you." Ye Zhentian changed his tone and said, "It's not easy for Tianxin to be alone in Yanjing. Xiao Yi, call her more when you have time."
"OK."
"As long, then that's it, I'll hang up first."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yi felt inexplicably relaxed for no reason.
He didn't expect that his first conversation with Ye Zhentian was not face to face, but was completed on the phone. In the past, Lu Yi had imagined countless scenes of talking to Ye Zhentian, but he never expected that Ye Zhentian would call him.
Lu Yi returned to the sofa and sat down.
I only heard Lao Tou talking to Zhao Qingsi: "Mr. Zhao, when it comes to making movies, I happen to have a good book on hand. I am going to invite Andy Lau to perform, and there are two foreign actors to star."
Foreign actor?
Lu Yi frowned slightly.
Zhao Qingsi said curiously: "What kind of plot is it?"
"Actually, the plot is very simple. It tells the story of Genghis Khan's tomb guardian." Lao Touzi looked at King Liu and said, "I want you to invite you to play, but I agreed in advance that in this film, you can only serve as the third male lead."
King Liu smiled and his face was full of smiles.
Although it was well concealed, Lu Yi saw that there was a hint of embarrassment in King Liu's smile.
Zhao Qingsi smiled and said, "This is a legendary story with historical background. If Director Zhang shoots it, the box office will definitely be good."
"Yes, that's why I want Andy Lau to be the actor." Lao Touzi looked at King Liu: "Andy Lau, what do you think?"
"I--"
Andy Lau was about to speak, but Lu Yi suddenly interrupted: "Director Zhang, I don't understand the movie. I'd like to ask you a presumptuous question, why do foreigners use our Chinese stories as the starring actors? Can't we Chinese be the starring actors?"
"It's not that we Chinese can't be a starring actor, but I want to enter the European and American markets." Lao Touzi said: "For so many years, our country's movies have been unable to integrate into the European and American markets. After the movie was released in Europe and the United States, the box office was pitiful and the position was awkward. If a very famous actor in Europe and the United States was used, we can strive to make more film schedules."
"Is this why you use foreign actors?" Lu Yi asked.
"Um."
Lu Yi shook his head and said, "Director Zhang, I am a layman and don't know how to make movies, but I have also heard that what is the name of the movie you are about to release? "The Great Wall"? Yes, it is "The Great Wall". You have used foreign actors and a large group of Chinese actors. Liu Tianwang also starred in it. He originally thought it was No. 2, but he took King Liu to the fourth and fifth position. This is not kind!"
Lao Touzi looked embarrassed.
The mentor Liu Tianwang helped to help rescue the situation and said, "Dr. Lu, in fact, this matter cannot be blamed entirely on Director Zhang. There are some other reasons."
"I didn't say who blames you, mainly because of King Liu's current status and fame. As long as he takes on the movie, he will definitely be the male lead. There is no doubt that for Director Zhang's movie, King Liu will definitely not care about rankings, but it's unreasonable to shoot him behind."
Lao Tozi explained: "Actually, this is mainly due to the investor. I can't control it either."
"Director Zhang, as a director who controls the overall situation, I think you know better than me. However, this movie has been scheduled and the press conference has been held, so I don't want to say it anymore, but there is something I have to tell you, Liu Tianwang has signed a contract with us Tianyi Entertainment."
"Oh?" Lao Taozi was stunned at first, and then said happily: "That's better. Since there is Dong Lu here, I will also give Andy Lau a guarantee in front of Dong Lu today. As long as Andy Lau enters the group, the position of the second male lead must be Andy Lau, and no one can take it away."
Lu Yi shook his head and said lightly: "Whether it is King Liu or the other three kings, if it is not for a special reason, they can only be the male lead."
"But Director Lu—"
"Director Zhang, I know what you are thinking, but have you ever thought about it? Is it really because of actors that our Chinese movies cannot be integrated into the European and American markets? Didn't we see a few Chinese actors in Europe and the United States that are selling well in Asia?"
Lu Yi said: "After all, it's our fault. First, in order to make money, investors used some young and fresh meats and vases with no acting skills. In the end, the box office was sold with bad reputation and quality garbage could not go abroad. Secondly, the status of screenwriters in our country is not high, the pay for stars is too high, and the total investment is 60% given to the actors. How can the crew shoot? Finally, the industrial technology of our country is far from Hollywood, and we can't do the stunts in Hollywood movies at all."
"Actually, I can't do it either, mainly because I don't have the money to do it." Lao Touzi said helplessly.
Nowadays, most of the money is given to celebrities for a movie, and the actual funds for shooting are actually very small.
Lu Yi said: "So Director Zhang, I'm not interested in what you said you want to use foreign actors, but if the script is really good and you want to shoot it, you can use Chinese actors all. I'm willing to invest, and it doesn't matter how much it costs."
"Dr. Lu, are you serious?"
Lao Touzi looked disbelief.
"A gentleman's words are as good as a horse." Lu Yi glanced at King Liu and smiled at Lao Taozi, "Of course, if King Liu is the protagonist, I can invest an additional 100 million yuan."
"Okay, that's it."
Lao Touzi didn't hesitate at all and agreed directly.
This made the other three kings very envious.
This is the benefit of joining Tianyi Entertainment. It seems that they have to join as soon as possible. They thought to themselves.
