The filming of The Matrix is in progress in an orderly manner. Needless to say, the acting skills of all the actors are all seasoned, and their acting skills are outstanding when it comes to dramas.
"Card, this one passed, next one."
Zhang Fan shouted loudly, and another one passed. These veteran actors gathered together to make The Matrix shoot much faster than imagined.
Many scenes were passed in one go. This is very rare in other crews. After all, the all-star cast is not something that ordinary people can afford.
"Everyone take a rest."
Zhang Fan shouted loudly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Fan is very strict on the set, and even these big shots are under a lot of pressure. Zhang Fan will curse when he gets angry on the set. Although he doesn't use swear words,
The words he said were harsher than the curse words.
"Brother Jie..."
Zhang Fan came to Li Renjie and handed him a bottle of water. Li Renjie smiled and was not polite.
"Brother Jie, are you okay? There is nothing wrong with your health."
Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask, after all, Li Renjie is over fifty this year. He has been making movies all his life in the film industry, and they are all action scenes. Action scenes are very taxing on the body.
Many action actors in China are covered in pain. After all, actions cannot be faked. In their time, many dangerous actions had to be done by oneself.
"No problem, I'm still in great health. But I can't compare with you now. After all, I'm older. Some things are beyond my ability. In a few years, I'm afraid I will retire."
Li Renjie couldn't help but say that Li Renjie had long thought of retiring. After all, an action actor's acting career has a longevity. When he gets older, he will naturally be unable to do many actions.
"Brother Jie, what you say is too pessimistic. Have you never thought about returning to Hollywood?"
Zhang Fan looked at Li Renjie. Li Renjie was stunned by these words, and then his eyes suddenly became lonely.
"It's not easy to go back to Hollywood. It's too difficult in Hollywood. Acting alone is not enough. Not to mention anything else, just because I am a Chinese, I am destined to be unable to make a name for myself, and it is a world dominated by white people.
…”
Li Renjie shook his head, with a hint of bitterness in his tone. It's too difficult to get involved in Hollywood, and it's hard for local white actors to get ahead. Let alone a Chinese actor.
Li Renjie has also been to Hollywood and made several movies. However, the response was mediocre and there was no box office, so investors naturally stopped investing.
In Hollywood, discrimination is even more serious. There are almost all white actors there. Although there are black movie stars, there are not many. Not to mention yellow people, there are pitifully few.
"Although it is difficult to get around, it may not be impossible. Some things have to be done by someone. You seniors have done a good enough job. Brother Jie, do you have many schedules in the future?"
Li Renjie was stunned by Zhang Fan's culture.
"A new movie?"
Li Renjie asked quickly.
"Yes, I am planning to establish Longteng Film and Television in the United States. We will establish our own film and television company and invest our own money. I don't believe it. We Chinese actors have no place in Hollywood."
Zhang Fan's words made Li Renjie's eyes widen. He established his own film and television salary and invested his own money. No one else had such courage. Looking at Zhang Fan, Li Renjie swallowed. He knew that Zhang Fan was not joking.
With Zhang Fan's worth, he is fully capable of playing like this. Zhang Fan looked at Li Renjie with a smile on his face.
"Aren't you afraid of losing money?"
Li Renjie couldn't help but ask.
"What are you afraid of? I can afford to lose money. Besides, who can guarantee that I will definitely lose money? What? Are you interested in returning to Hollywood? Let's join hands and tell everyone that China also has superstars."
Zhang Fan's words made Li Renjie's heart beat fast. As an artist, who wouldn't want to return to Hollywood and become an international superstar? You must know that you can earn US dollars in Hollywood.
In Hollywood, there is a $20 million club. Actors who join this club are entitled to a salary of at least $20 million for each movie.
Converted into RMB, that's more than 100 million. This makes money much faster than in China.
"I'll treat you to dinner tonight. I wrote a script some time ago. You can read it and make a decision."
Zhang Fan said with a smile, and finally stood up and left. Looking at Zhang Fan's leaving figure, Li Renjie took a deep breath. Although he has been in the entertainment industry for so long, what happened today still made Li Renjie feel his heart beat faster.
In the Chinese entertainment industry, Zhang Fan's talent is obvious to all. Now it seems that Zhang Fan has even greater ambitions. He wants to go to Hollywood to build his own film company and invest in his own movies.
No one else has such ambition. However, Li Renjie still underestimated Zhang Fan's ambition. If he knew Zhang Fan's true ambition, he would probably be even more shocked and stunned.
With curiosity, Li Renjie completed the day's shooting. As night fell, the day's shooting also ended. The entire crew took a rest, and many actors also returned to their hotels.
In the Longteng employee villa area in Longteng District, a huge villa group is located on the seaside. Not far away are the lush mountains, and the water is still beautiful.
The greening of the entire villa area is full of artistic sense. The entire villa area looks like a huge oriental garden, full of beauty everywhere.
There are thousands of villas here, and the entire villa area has been built. There are security guards guarding the gates. This is basically private territory, and outsiders cannot enter.
This is the high-rise residential area of Longteng Group. In the future, only high-level employees of Longteng Group will be eligible to live here. And the villa of Zhang Fan, the chairman, is naturally also in the villa.
Villa No. 1 is the villa with the best location and the largest area in the entire villa area. The villa is located at the foot of the mountain, with a golf course next to the door and a beautiful beach in the distance.
A private dock has also been built on the beach, and there is also a helicopter landing platform in the open space not far from the villa.
The three-story villa is very large, with a total area of tens of thousands of square meters. It has an indoor swimming pool, gym, entertainment center, and a huge underground garage.
At the same time, there is also a multi-functional conference room that can accommodate hundreds of people to facilitate future meetings...
At this moment, the villa was brightly lit. There were many bodyguards in black suits standing in their respective positions responsible for the security of the villa.
These bodyguards are all people found by the military for Zhang Fan, and they are all real elites.
"Mr. Li Renjie, please come inside..."
A bodyguard led Li Renjie into the villa. Li Renjie nodded and couldn't help but feel envious. This is the real rich man. Although he also has a lot of money, compared with Zhang Fan, he is really not on the same level now. Look at Zhang Fan again.
Given Fan's age and experience, Li Renjie couldn't help but sigh, it's really irritating to compare people to others.
