Da Mi Mi was banned by a big shot in the country in the film industry. This is not a secret in the industry, and Li He must have known about it. Otherwise Da Mi Mi would not have thought of hooking up with Liu Kaiwei, and then hooked up with him.
Hong Kong is closed.
However, after seeing through the strong and hollow nature of the outside world in Hong Kong, Da Mi Mi quickly gave up on Liu Kaiwei. Of course, the most important reason for this was Li Hyuk. And now Li Hyuk is actually going to star in a Hollywood movie. What should she do?
Not excited?
Chris Films, producer Jason Reitman and director Damian Chazelle were at odds over who to cast as the male lead, with Chazelle insisting on using Miles Teller.
And Jason Reitman also insisted that Dane DeHaan was more suitable.
As for Li Hyuk, his conditions are good in all aspects, but because he is Chinese, he cannot be considered for this reason. Letting him audition is just a favor that Jason Reitman wants to return.
"Miles has really good conditions. He has been practicing drums since he was 15 years old, and his acting skills are acceptable. I insist that he is more suitable to choose." Damien Chazelle said.
"No, no, no, Dane is better. I think he is the most suitable. The drum set can be practiced later, and the Dane family is a jazz family." Jason Reitman tit for tat.
"Hey, gentlemen, calm down." The door of the conference room opened, and another producer of "Crackling Drummer" appeared. His name was Jason Blum, and he was an actor who had just finished filming a film.
"Jason, you're here. Did the filming go well?" Jason Reitman asked. He is very familiar with Jason Blum.
"It's going well, what are you arguing about?" Jason Blum poured himself a cup of coffee, sat down and looked at the two of them.
Damien Chazelle said: "Mr. Brown, we are again arguing about the choice of male lead. Jason insists on using Dane DeHaan. I think Miles Teller is more suitable."
"That's it. Do you have any information? Show it to me." Jason Blum asked. He did not participate in the audition because he was busy filming the movie.
"Here..." Damien installed the video tape, which records the performance of each actor during the audition.
Jason Blum carefully looked at the performance of the two candidates, and then asked: "Is there anything else? I want to see something else."
Damien Chazelle brought over a pile of video tapes: "They're all here."
Jason Blum was picking and choosing, and by chance, he picked Li He's one and started playing. When he saw the Asian faces on the screen, Jason asked curiously: "Asian? Are they from South Korea or an island nation?"
people?"
"No, they're Chinese. Just keep reading." Damien Chazelle's heart moved. Jason was not very satisfied with the choice of Miles Teller just now. It was obvious when watching the video.
Wouldn't it be better to push Li He out now and muddy the waters?
While watching the video, Jason Reitman received a phone call. He frowned, put down the phone and said to the two of them: "Dane DeHaan gave up."
"Oh? Why?" Jason Blum asked.
Jason Reitman shrugged: "Supposedly Ridley Scott approached him about a new project."
The famous Ridley Scott is indeed much better than this pheasant crew. It is said that Ridley Scott plans to restart the "Alien" series. That is "Alien", a science fiction classic in film history, and this year's prequel movie "Prometheus"
"S" is about to be released.
The three of them were somewhat silent, and there was nothing they could do about being poached by a big director. Who could resist the charm of "Alien"?
After a long silence, Damien looked at Li He's audition performance that was still playing on the big screen, and slowly said: "If you want to join this, we might as well take Tom Lee into consideration."
The two producers looked at each other, and Jason Blum said: "I think it's better to just leave him alone. He probably won't be poached by big directors."
This reason was a bit strange, but it convinced the two people who were still hesitating. Anyway, this is only a small-budget film with an investment of 4 million US dollars, and the relationship between who is chosen as the starring role is actually not that important.
Chris Pictures has long planned to take the film festival route for "Blast Drummer". Now that it has chosen a Chinese to star, it might even make a fortune in China. Making movies is not for art. Even if the director thinks so, the investment company
The idea must be to make money.
Therefore, just because of making money, Li Hyuk became the male lead of "Explosive Drummer" in a daze, so much so that he was a little confused when he heard the news.
"Okay, thank you, Jason." Li He hung up the phone with a look of disbelief on his face.
Da Mi Mi was eating dessert and asked curiously: "What's going on? Have you become a starring role?"
Li Hyuk nodded: "Yes, I don't know what happened, but I won this role anyway."
"That's great, congratulations." Da Mi Mi was happy for Li He.
Although it is an independent film, it is a Hollywood film after all. This is the first time for a mainland actor, and he is the male lead. If this news is spread back to China, I don't know what kind of sensation it will cause.
"This news will be kept secret for now, and we will wait until the film crew releases the news." Li He instructed.
Da Mi Mi and Qian Duoduo both nodded, obviously understanding that the matter was of great importance and that everything had not been settled yet. If someone changed again, they would be embarrassed if they spread the news back to China.
"Sister Duoduo, I'll leave the actor's contract to you. As long as the conditions are not too harsh, just agree." Li He instructed.
"OK, leave it to me!" Qian Duoduo was very excited. Ever since Li He became famous, Qian Duoduo almost followed Li He personally and became his exclusive agent.
Now that Li Hyuk is on the rise, her status has also been rising. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a first-line agent.
After two days of very pleasant negotiations, Lee Hyuk finally signed his name on the actor's contract. The salary was 300,000 US dollars, which is not high, and the price for a new Hollywood actor. "Breaking Drummer" started filming in mid-June, and Damien asked Lee Hyuk
I will be reporting here in early June and will also have to do some pre-shooting exercises.
After the dust settled, Li Hyuk and Qian Duoduo returned to China, signed the actor contract, and started publicity. Li Hyuk didn't have to worry about this, he returned to the crew of "To Youth" to continue filming.
Under Qian Duoduo's arrangement, the news that Li Hyuk went to Hollywood to audition and successfully won the role spread like wildfire, causing an uproar in the entertainment industry.
Lee Hyuk can now be said to be the most popular top-tier idol in China. The key is that Lee Hyuk not only sells his looks, but also his strength. "Labyrinth of the Heart", which has been drawn in theaters, has a box office of 78.643 million, which is
A low-budget film with only 7.7 million yuan invested.
The most important thing is that Lee Hyuk's explosive acting skills in the film conquered countless audiences, including media critics, who all praised Lee Hyuk's acting skills.
It is foreseeable that this film will make a difference at major award ceremonies, and Lee Hyuk may win his first Best Actor award. At this time, it is rumored that he will star in a Hollywood film, and the sensational effect can be imagined.
