Martin is a veteran agent with many years of experience in the industry and rich network resources. The only regret is that he has not been able to bring out a first-line star, not a single one.

Today he has many artists, including newcomers who have just debuted, and well-known old people, but the one he values ​​most is Kristen Stewart.

Because of his own experience and vision, he believes that Christine has great potential, and in time he will definitely be able to rank among the top Hollywood. While bringing him rich benefits, it also brought a complete end to his regrets.

Therefore Martin attaches great importance to Christine. I'm worried about her being deceived by Mai Xiaoyu, let alone talk about it, and try to get as many high-quality film deals as possible for her, as well as high-quality advertisements, commercial activities, and so on.

After meeting with Mai Xiaoyu, Christine attended two more commercial events and shot an advertisement, which Martin had previously taken over for her.

In late January, when Christine finished the announcement and returned to Los Angeles, Martin brought good news and negotiated a contract for her new play "Happening Now".

A few days ago, Christine politely declined Mai Xiaoyu’s invitation on the grounds of "dinner with the producer," which can not be said to be a complete deception.

She did have dinner with the producer of "Happening Now", just before.

"Happening Now" is a comedy. In the last century, director Barry Levinson won the 61st Oscar for Best Director for his biopic "Rain Man".

The starring role is Robert De Niro, the veteran Oscar actor; Sean Penn, the actor and Oscar actor of the three major international film festivals in Europe; Bruce Willis, the man abandoned by the Oscar, but his status and popularity in the American film industry No one can question.

Robin Wright Pen, John Tetoro, Stanley Tucci, Michael Wincott, Catherine Keener and many other big-name celebrities participated in the filming.

Martin won the role of Christine, starring Robert De Niro's daughter, and the role is more serious. Moreover, the opportunity to cooperate with many big-name celebrities is of great help to any actor.

"Kristin, you have to rest for a few days. I will help you make an appointment with Mr. Robert to see when he has time. Let's have lunch together."

"Okay Martin, thank you."

Christine trusts Martin, who will always arrange everything for her.

She took the recent newspapers and looked through them one by one.

"Are you looking for something?" Martin asked.

"I want to see if Mai's movie is on."

"Kristin, do you think there will be media paying attention to a movie made by Huaxia Company, and the investment is only 50,000 US dollars? I don't think Huaxia Media will be interested."

Kristen realized: "You are right, so, can you please help me to check, is Mai's movie started? It seems to be called "That Man From Earth"?"

"It's "This Man Comes From Earth"."

"You have a good memory, hehe."

Martin looked at her helplessly: "You have paid too much attention to that Chinese man, and he has no help in your career. The scandal between you and him will also not help you in any way, it will only cause trouble."

"He is the author of "Twilight"."

"I still said that, he has no right to decide the protagonist, unless he intends to make a Chinese movie. You will not forget, after seeing you that day, he has been talking about his US$50,000 movie, rarely Mentioned "Twilight", and no invitation was sent to you."

"That's because your man hurt him."

"Oh, **** it, he wounded Brother Daniel, for which I paid expensive medical expenses, which is an extra cost. Also, Brother Daniel was very angry, and they threatened to seek revenge from the Easterner."

"Then we have to notify Mai even more."

Martin debunked Christine's careful thoughts: "You can call him directly."

"Remind him in person to get a good impression. Didn't you say that he can do magical oriental witchcraft, maybe he will agree to use witchcraft on me to make my acting career smoother."

"Okay, okay, I'll ask someone to find out if his film with an investment of $50,000 is launched..."

...

Just when Christine was going to find Mai Xiaoyu, Cici and Li Xue and the others also deliberately went to Mai Xiaoyu because they were in trouble.

This time in Los Angeles, Cici mainly participated in a meeting with the creators of the "Kung Fu King" crew. All the main creative staff came together to discuss the plot and filming plan.

In recent months, China’s Big and Huge have launched super blockbuster films cooperating with Hollywood, which have attracted much attention in China. Among them, "Kung Fu King" is one of the most eye-catching movies.

Two Chinese international action superstars joined together. The two martial arts styles are presented together for the first time. The martial arts part is worth looking forward to. Actresses are equally good. Li Bingbing and Cici have their own advantages and have a large number of fans in China.

Yihua's promotion of this film is also very strong, and the invitation of two Chinese international action superstars to join has greatly increased their success rate in opening the international film market, and naturally attaches great importance to it.

In addition, Li Bingbing's contract is about to expire, facing her peers with a hand of banknotes and a hand of favors, brandishing a small **** and eager to try. Yihua also wants to take this opportunity to keep Li Bingbing and help her open up the international market.

Among the people who eat melons, many people are very excited, cheering for the Chinese film to go abroad, cooperate with Hollywood, integrate with the world, and be recognized by the international film community.

It’s just that they don’t know that Huamei’s co-production is not as beautiful as imagined. China Films has paid a lot and has to take huge risks, because Yankees will not invest real money.

The film company on China Xia’s side invested money, and the Hollywood side produced a production team to take care of the planning, production, distribution, and global screening of the film. This is the so-called co-production.

No way, Huaxia is weak in terms of culture. The West is strong and we are weak, so we can only borrow a boat to go to sea.

Hollywood, the film industry is developed, has a very high position in the global film industry, and also has a complete set of distribution mechanisms.

Whether it is in the US or overseas markets, Hollywood blockbusters often complete the marketing, distribution, and cooperation links during the shooting process to ensure that the film can be shown on a larger scale.

In contrast to Chinese movies, many middle-class and low-ranking lesbians can't even touch the threshold for overseas distribution, let alone complete those links ahead of time.

Just like the cute guy a few years ago, for the overseas release of "Fatal ID", Mai Xiaoyu personally went to Cannes to play routines and used a lot of resources. Rao is so, when it was released in the United States, I also encountered Yankees hooligans.

Had it not been for his more routines, the Yankee would have succeeded.

Yankees play hooligans in the international arena, because they have big fists.

Cici also encounters Yankee hooligans.

This time the main creative staff met, through the discussion of the plot, clarified their respective work priorities, and made the final preparations for the start-up, which is also the norm in the entertainment industry. Let’s get acquainted with each other, talk about your views on the script, adjust the schedule according to the shooting plan, and promote the movie through the media by the way, all are routines.

At the beginning, the meeting went very smoothly, and the exchanges between each other shouldn't be chatty, at least there was no smell of gunpowder.

Both Cici and Li Bingbing know that the two international kung fu superstars and the American male protagonist in "The King of Kung Fu" are really the big heads. Although they are the heroines, they still can't avoid the suspicion of vases.

Therefore, unless it is related to topics such as one's own scenes, schedule, etc., it is rare to take the initiative to speak up.

However, when discussing the emotional scene between "Golden Swallow" and the actor "Jason" in the play, a problem arises.

According to the plot, between "Golden Swallow" played by Cici and "Jason" played by the American actor, there has always been a very hazy love, and at the end there will be an emotional outburst, which is commonly known as the kiss scene.

Earlier, when Li Xue helped Cici talk about the film appointment, he specifically agreed that Cici would not take kiss scenes. Although the crew did not understand, they agreed.

However, at the meeting, the American actor suddenly pointed out that he had never heard "kiss for", which was ridiculous, and Cici did so with great disrespect for herself. He requested that when shooting kissing scenes, he must really kiss, and no substitutes are allowed.

Cici would definitely not agree.

Li Xue retorted on the spot in fluent English: "This was agreed upon during the previous discussions, and I don't think there is any need to discuss it now."

"Your agreement like this makes me think that you are very unprofessional. Moreover, I was not there when you were discussing with the crew. Ryan, Robert, John, what do you think?"

Robert is the director of The King of Kung Fu, Ryan is the producer at the meeting, and John is the screenwriter.

Li Xue also set his sights on them and let them decide.

Director Robert hesitated and nodded: "Your approach is indeed very unprofessional. Unless you are an underage girl, I haven't heard of any actress who needs a stand-in when shooting a kiss scene."

The screenwriter John also said: "I have never understood what you did. You know, it is not a simple kiss. According to my design, it will be a very beautiful picture, very touching. If you use a substitute, you can’t Express this beautiful artistic conception."

Ryan, one of the producers, did not express his position, but silence is also an attitude, tacitly acquiescing Robert's statement.

"But according to our prior agreement, Crystal will not shoot kiss scenes, and this is also specifically stated in the contract." In the face of Hollywood producers, directors and screenwriters, Li Xue did not flinch and argued for reasons.

"So I think it is necessary for you to reconsider the supplementary clauses in the contract to avoid the outside world thinking that your Chinese actors are not professional enough and lack sufficient respect in filming." The American deputy director said.

Li Xue glanced at him and sneered: "Aren't you afraid that the outside world will question the spirit of contract that you Americans have always advertised?"

After a good meeting, it turned into a noisy bazaar, which made producer Ryan very dissatisfied.

He knocked on the table, frowned and said, "Gentlemen and ladies, I need to remind you that the "Kung Fu King" crew meeting held in the United States here is not a noisy city."

This seems to be fair and seems to calm the quarrel, but his phrase "convened in the United States" is enough to show his bias.

Li Xue is not stupid, and smiled and asked: "So, Mr. Ryan, what's your opinion?"

"I am one of the producers, and my job is to ensure that the film can be filmed smoothly and finished on schedule. I don't know how your country views the film crew, but in the United States, actors should accept reasonable suggestions from the director and screenwriter. ."

"Even if there is the spirit of contract to promote for your country?"

It was another American assistant director who spoke: "This is a Hollywood-style Chinese Kung Fu movie. It will not only be shown in thousands of theaters in the United States, but also in many countries around the world. If you don't want to shoot, you can terminate the contract."

The tone is very frivolous.

You can say that people are dazzling, but they have the capital of dazzling!

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.

Looking at the global film scene, Hollywood is the absolute peak!

"The King of Kung Fu" has attracted much attention. How many people want to play the role played by Cici can't play it. American producers just don't care about replacing Cici.

Li Xue knew that "The King of Kung Fu" had a rare opportunity and was very important to Cici, so she always refuted it with the spirit of contract. It's just that she didn't expect the other party to be so shameless that she would threaten to cancel the contract, and she whispered for a while.

The words came from the assistant director's mouth, but the producer, director, and screenwriter did not make a statement, apparently tacitly acquiescing to the threat of the assistant director.

As for Cici, she never said anything. The clenched silver teeth and pale face are enough to show her angry mood.

Seeing that his sister was pinched by a foreigner, Li Bingbing was about to stand up and speak for Li Xue.

Her agent was sharp-eyed and pulled her back and motioned her not to participate.

"The King of Kung Fu" is a co-produced film, and Yihua's investment is true, but the American producer is very strong. Just like in other China-US cooperation projects, the US has always been in a strong position.

After such a delay, Li Xue slowed down: "Cancel the contract? Is it because we insist on the spirit of the contract? For this drama, Crystal has been preparing carefully for the past few months~lightnovelpub.net~ for this reason. A piece of contract. If you want to cancel the contract, you can compensate us for our losses!"

"Li Xue, don't you say a few words. It's just a kiss scene. Is it necessary to make trouble like this?"

"This time it is co-produced by Huamei, not a film and television series invested by your cute people. Since you are cooperating with Hollywood, you must abide by other people's rules."

"Yes, pay attention to international influence."

"Opportunities are rare, don't take a chance to take measures just because of a momentary mood."

"Cici has never filmed a kissing scene before. It happened to be the first kiss on the screen with the help of this joint filming. This gimmick is also not bad."

"Take it as a kiss of friendship that witnesses the relationship between China and the United States."

...

Some of the Chinese filmmakers present one after another spoke up, and you persuaded Li Xue and Cici to make concessions.

Listening to the compatriots and the mud, Li Xue was not angry, but felt pitiful and pathetic.

Today, the cause of the matter is not big, just because the kiss scene questioned whether the double actor was used.

Actors, screenwriters, associate directors, directors, and producers may not have had close friendships with Americans before, but they have maintained a high degree of consistency in their attitudes towards supporting their natives and treating foreigners.

On the other hand, some of my compatriots are still elites in certain aspects of the domestic film industry. However, in front of the Americans, they are like a...

She stood up and calmly said to those people: "I am now fighting for the legal rights of our company’s artists with American producers. Note that they are legal rights, which are clearly stated in the contract and are legally protected by the laws of China and the United States. Rights and interests. As a compatriot, I did not expect your support, but I also hope that you will not hold us back!"
