Jet Li wiped his hair with a towel and took the invitation from his agent, "Invite me to dinner?...Who is Peng Bo?"
The agent immediately said, "You really should get to know this Peng Bo."
"Why should I know him?" Jet Li threw the invitation on the table dissatisfied. This time they came to Shanghai to participate in an event, but their whereabouts had already been obtained by Zhuo Wei.
"This is not an ordinary person. The well-known Bang Ye in Shanghai is now the president of the Asia-Pacific region of the European Monetary Investment Institution. He has a strong background in the UK. He can easily invite the British Prime Minister to his events, and he has a close relationship with Zheng Yongshan.
Brother Scan once said publicly that if anyone can inherit his mantle in the future and be better than his master, it must be Mr. Bang." The agent picked up the invitation on the table and handed it to Jet Li without hesitation.
Oh, when he heard the name Zheng Yongcan, Jet Li threw the towel aside and accepted the invitation.
"Also, I heard that the White Dragon King and Uncle Chen are very optimistic about him..."
"The White Dragon King also thinks highly of him?" Jet Li was immediately in awe. In the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, the White Dragon King is a god-like existence.
"Yes, this is said in front of Lin Jianyue and Yang Shoucheng. These two are big bosses in Xiangjiang. Their words will not be false, and they will not use the name of the White Dragon King to praise a person. This year, this year
He made two more lists, the Japanese and Korean lists, and I heard that the eldest princess of Samsung and Li Xian of CJ Group are very close to him..."
Although Jet Li has well-developed limbs, his brain is not stupid. He can understand what his agent said. The man on the invitation is not only powerful abroad, but also very powerful in the entertainment circles in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea. Regardless of his own kung fu
How amazing, but in essence, he is just an actor. As long as he is an actor, he must have a voice and be released and screened. This person cannot be avoided. Not only cannot he be avoided, but he must also ask for it from others.
"As far as I know, Pengbo Media is the largest private media in the mainland and the producer of many popular programs on mainland TV. Hong Kong's Pengbo TV and financial reports are also his properties. He is also one of the investors in Zhang Yimou's movie...
"
"Well, I seem to remember who he is, the person who released the list in Hung Hom," Jet Li smiled, "Also, is it the private company Daxiang who was rumored to have an affair with Gisele Bundchen? In fact,
, you might as well be Mr. Du from Shanghai Beach."
"It's Mr. Du, but times have changed, but the essence is the same. I heard that Liu Dehua went to Shanghai to hold a concert, and he took care of everything." The manager also laughed, "His entertainment and fashion programs, newspapers and TV are still
There is a website that can make a person famous or kill a person. You can decide for yourself whether you will see it or not."
"Then what else is there to say?" Jet Li agreed immediately, "This is to give me face. Please prepare a gift for me and we will visit you then."
…
In Jin Mao Tower, Peng Bo and Hei Yinwei were tasting the new wine that was just released this year. Zhang Yimou's call came. In the past few days, the two talked on the phone almost every day. Director Zhang was really anxious, "Why don't we let Jackie Chan go into battle?"
, time cannot be delayed any longer.”
"Director Zhang, listen to me. I'll give you the news tonight, tonight. If it doesn't work, you can find someone else."
"Are you sure you can convince him?" Heinwei swung the wine in the glass, "Actually, I like watching Chinese action movies and I also like this actor."
"What about Japanese action movies?" Peng Bo smiled maliciously and slowly approached his girlfriend.
"Are there any action movies in Japan?" Heinwei asked in surprise.
"Oh, yes," Peng Bo said without changing his expression, "But the Kung Fu of the two countries is a matter of personal opinion. China's action movies are mainly games between men... Let's go and meet this Kung Fu Emperor tonight.
"
For the dinner in the evening, Peng Bo did not invite celebrities from the entertainment industry in Shanghai, only a few directors of the company accompanied him.
"Mr. Peng, he is probably hesitating about the salary. I checked and he has a schedule." Zhou Yi made very detailed preparations, "But if he really asks for 10 million US dollars, Mr. Peng, we
Do you still want to put money in?"
Zhou Yi is not optimistic about this movie. To be precise, she is not optimistic about Zhang Yimou. After all, all Zhang Yimou's movies have lost money. If Pengbo Media continues to meet Jet Li's proposed salary, the investment in this movie will reach 200 million yuan.
.
However, if his salary requirements are not met, for Jet Li, the Kung Fu Emperor who has "made" a new world in Hollywood, the salary of a movie largely represents his status in Hollywood.
At this time, his worth in Hollywood reached 10 million U.S. dollars, and Zhang Yimou's proposal of 4 million U.S. dollars as the maximum salary seemed too little. Take it. The remuneration is so low, and it will not be good for his future stardom if word spreads about it.
"Don't take it. Zhang Yimou is an internationally famous director. No one knows whether he will make "Hero" into a classic.
"We won't invest any more money in it, and we can't give him whatever salary he wants," Peng Bo said confidently. "We have to cut his salary and let him consciously act in this movie."
"Is it possible?" Wu Qianyu said with a smile, "I think this problem is difficult to solve without money."
…
Jet Li arrived at Jin Mao Tower very quietly.
The group of people shook hands and exchanged greetings, while Chen Feng and Jet Li's bodyguards stayed outside. "Can I say that I grew up watching your movies?" Peng Bo smiled and bowed to Jet Li, and everyone present laughed, relaxed.
Under the atmosphere, Peng Bo introduced the company's president and director, Zhu Tom, Wu Qianyu, Zhou Yi, Lin Lelei...
"Frankly speaking, we are the investors of this film. This film has the world's top cast." After a simple greeting, Peng Bo went straight to the topic. He did not want to compromise with an actor. "Our company has invested in three films since its establishment."
, one is Zhou Yu’s Train, which was okay at the box office, one is Infernal Affairs, and then there’s this hero..."
"I believe in Mr. Peng's vision," Jet Li said very humbly. Everyone in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong respectfully calls the young man in front of him "Bang Ye". His status is here. Although he grew up watching his own movies, he can't rely on others.
"But there are definitely difficulties."
Everyone has difficulties!
Zhang Yimou also has his own difficulties. Most of the domestic films are small productions. Zhang Yimou did his best for this price. It is not easy for a famous director to show off his old face.
"Have you read the script?" Peng Bo asked again, "Actually, I am also a martial arts fan, and investing in this movie is also to fulfill my martial arts dream."
"I myself hope to make such a martial arts movie that emphasizes both "martial arts" and "xiaxia". I not only hope to have outstanding parts in the action and pictures, but also hope to convey something to the audience through a very popular perspective.
He is a Xia. I personally think that real masters, heroes and Xia are people who have the world in mind."
"Oh, please tell me." Jet Li's expression became more humble.
Zhou Yi took a sip of tea and smiled to herself. When they were in the capital, Mr. Peng deceived Zhang Yimou like this.
