After successfully winning Weta Digital and completing an important layout for the film industry, Xiao Qian was in a great mood.
I had a dreamless night and no worries about bed.
Open your eyes, the sky is bright, the sun is three in the sky, and the sun is charming.
You cannot be happy alone in a good mood, you must learn to share it.
So he took out his phone and dialed.
The bell rang for a long time, and just when Xiao Qian was about to give up, there was finally a response.
"Xiao Qian, are you crazy? Why are you calling so late?"
"How can it be so late? It's obviously already noon."
Xiao Qian lay on the beach chair and soaked up the sun, feeling very comfortable.
California is not too cold even in winter, and the sunbathing effect is great.
Unfortunately, the person on the other end of the phone was not in a great mood.
"Damn, this is China, there is a thing called jet lag, do you know?"
Weng Zhian was furious.
He just couldn't fly across the ocean right away, otherwise he would have to chop Xiao Qian into pieces with a watermelon knife.
"Hey, I was so happy that I forgot about it."
"hehe."
Weng Zhian obviously didn't believe it and still wanted to hit him.
"What good news do you have? Let me tell you, if it weren't for the good news, I would never be done with you."
Xiao Qian was very depressed and felt that her good intentions had been wasted.
"Why isn't this good news? Let me tell you, I have successfully invested in an amazing special effects studio here. From now on, we will have our own technical support when filming."
Weng Zhian listened quietly, full of doubts.
"Invested a stake in a special effects studio? In what name? Your own, or the company's?"
Xiao Qian drank up the juice happily.
"What are you talking about? Of course it's in the name of the company. Why should I own a special effects studio? This is all for the company's use."
After being together for so long, Weng Zhi'an already knew Xiao Qian's personality very well, so he went straight to the topic.
"How much?"
It saves trouble to talk to someone who understands.
"It's not expensive, only seven million...US dollars."
"Oh, it's not expensive... Plop!"
"Hello? Hey hey hey? Uncle Weng, are you talking? What's wrong with you? Don't scare me?"
Under the dazzling sunlight, Xiao Qian held the phone in front of her eyes, patted it continuously, and then put it back to her ear. Unfortunately, there was still silence on the other end.
"That's weird, why are people gone?"
"What else could I do? I was scared to death by you."
Li Qingjue saw clearly and pulled Xiao Qian up.
"Come on, come take a walk with me. This is my first time in the United States."
Xiao Qian pouted.
"It sounds like this is not my first time in the United States."
When the two children left the hotel, they did not wander around aimlessly, but had a clear goal.
The place the two of them went to was the Actors Guild.
All trips in the United States actually have clear goals. After all, Xiao Qian is extremely busy right now, and the last thing she can't waste is time.
The purpose of coming to the Screen Actors Guild is also very simple, which is to find actors.
There will be many foreign actors starring in "The Opium War", but the original script paid very little attention to this part. It feels like just some actors were randomly found and they can act well.
Xiao Qian and Xie Qi have completely different ideas. He wants to create a top commercial blockbuster.
In this case, if there is something to pursue as an actor, it is natural to think more about it.
"Hello, beautiful lady, we are filmmakers from China and want to find some suitable actors in Hollywood."
When meeting the receptionist, Xiao Qian handed over his business card.
The person who received them was a white woman with a shocked look on her face.
Are Chinese filmmakers so arrogant?
Started working in your teens?
I heard that China's economic development has been very rapid in the past two years. Is it because of such hard work?
The reception staff really wanted to suspect that Xiao Qian and Li Qingjue were here to cause trouble, but the information they provided was very detailed. Especially the lawyers and bodyguards standing behind Xiao Qian added to their credibility.
"Okay, awesome kids, you scared me."
Americans tend to talk a lot, and while reviewing information, they keep talking endlessly.
After the review was finally completed, the receptionist asked: "Excuse me, what kind of actors do you need? We have information on all actors in Hollywood. Top actors, grassroots actors, male actors, actresses, high-paid actors, low-paid actors
There are all kinds of actors. Do you want me to recommend them to you?"
Xiao Qian's eardrums hurt and he quickly said: "Can you show us the information? We need to find some middle-aged male actors with a more masculine image but not a tough guy like Schwarzenegger."
The receptionist was unhappy that his conversation was interrupted.
"Okay, wait."
Only Xiao Qian and Li Qingjue were left, and the little girl was very worried.
"Is it reliable to find actors like this?"
Although she didn't know how to film a film or television drama, she had never heard that you could find suitable actors just by looking at the information.
Xiao Qian was very calm.
"Let's take a look first, and then we'll have to interview."
The receptionist came back soon, holding a large thick book and placing it in front of Xiao Qian.
"Here is the information on all Hollywood actors aged between 25 and 40 years old. From the looks of it, you don't seem to want to pay too much, so here are the ones with a salary of less than 200,000 US dollars."
Xiao Qian was very happy.
"Ma'am, I have to compliment you on your work."
Don't look at the exaggerated income of Hollywood actors. In fact, there are more worthless actors here.
When many actors first entered the industry, they did not even get paid to act, just to increase their experience and qualifications.
Therefore, it is not difficult for actors with a salary of less than 200,000 US dollars to find a suitable one.
A kind word can make a woman happy and take the initiative to help.
"Our Actors Guild actually evaluates actors. You can ask me what the prospects of each actor are."
As soon as Xiao Qian said this, he understood everything.
He took out two dining coupons from his bag and quickly stuffed them into the other person's hands.
"Beautiful lady, with dedicated staff like you, Hollywood will develop in full swing. I have no respect for you. A sumptuous and delicious Chinese meal at Hongye Restaurant is my gratitude."
A trace of greed and ecstasy flashed in the woman's eyes, and she quickly put away the meal ticket properly.
Red Leaf Restaurant is the top Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles, with an average consumption of more than five hundred dollars. Ordinary working-class people would not dare to go there to spend money.
"Here...here are some actors who have been evaluated as having a bright future. They have superb acting skills, are hard-working and dedicated, and are the favorite actors of directors and producers."
Look, you can get such a big deal with just a small gift.
Xiao Qian was extremely happy and quickly checked.
As a result, the first actor information above gave him an electric shock.
That fierce face, that muscular figure, that wispy hair...
Xiao Qian couldn't help but exclaimed immediately.
"Guosen Standa?"
Li Qingjue came over and took a look, feeling extremely speechless.
"What are you talking about? His name is Jason Statham."
Xiao Qian was shaking like a swing.
"Son, you will know in the future."
As soon as he came up, he spotted Dabao Baobao. Xiao Qian quickly asked the receptionist: "Can I contact this actor now?"
Jason Statham, salary $150,000...
Do you dare to think about this?
Xiao Qian is already imagining the effect of this future top Hollywood actor starring in "The Opium War".
Wait, is this guy about to start filming Guy Ritchie's "Two Smoking Barrels"?
Sure enough, the receptionist made some inquiries and informed him of the situation.
"This actor is currently in the UK and is preparing for a film. However, it is said that there is still a long time before filming and he can take on other additional work. Do you need his contact information?"
"Yes, I need it."
It's so needed.
Xiao Qian made up his mind right away, no matter what, he would get Guo Sen Stander to star in "The Opium War".
This guy is not famous yet, the pay is low, and most importantly, there is no agency yet...
Xiao Qian's heart was surging, and she was already imagining what it would be like to sign this person to Starlight Entertainment...
"This is the contact information of the other party. The next negotiation will depend on your charm."
The receptionist didn't know that he was going crazy. After giving Jason Statham's contact information to Xiao Qian, he urged him to continue looking for an actor.
