Chapter 216 A Scary Thing
Xiangjiang, in some elegant cafe.
"Hello, Director Wu, long time no see!"
"Ha, our Cannes Best Actor is here. Come on, Fu Sheng, please sit down!"
When he saw the visitor, Wu Yusen, who had a small round face, sparse hair, half of his forehead, and a big character on his nose, waved to Fu Luo gently and enthusiastically invited him to sit down.
"Director Wu, you are so polite. Just call me my name. By the way, I have to thank Director Wu for voting for me to be the one I am today."
Upon hearing this, Fu Luo was a little polite and sat opposite Wu Yusen.
"Hey, don't thank me. As a judge, I only look at my strength but don't recognize people. Now that you have got it, it's your strength. Okay, let's get back to the point. How are you thinking about the role?"
Wu Yusen, who was a little worried, decisively changed the topic. You should know that at last year's Cannes Film Festival, he had never voted for Fu Luo. It was a big bullshit to look at the strength but not the person. It depends on both strength and people. Therefore, Wu Yusen's vote was all voted for actors on Baodao.
By the way, because of the issue of the ownership of the actor, the entire jury voted five times before he finally chose Fu Luo under the strong push of the jury chairman Emil Custurica. Wu Yusen can only say that the mainland boy in front of him was really lucky that he actually fell into Emil Custurica's eyes.
"Director Wu, before answering your question, I would like to ask about the filming schedule of the movie, because I happened to take on a new movie recently, and it will start shooting at the beginning of next month. It will take two or three months, you see?"
After thinking for a long time, Fu Luo made a decision. If there is no conflict in the schedule, he would prepare to take over the movie "Red Cliff". Because of the failure of "Qizhao Chasing", he disrupted his original plan. If he had to make other plans, it would definitely take a certain amount of time to plan. He could not waste this period in vain, right? Of course, Fu Luo must also admit that the 10 million yuan pay also played a big role, and he could even put the word "key".
"Is next month January? Then you really don't have to worry. Our movie will initially start around April, and your scenes will be concentrated in the second half of the time. There will be at least half a year in between. I believe you have enough time to shoot two movies!"
Seeing that Fu Luo seemed to have signs of agreeing, Wu Yusen was also a little excited. After all, the fantasy combination of Zhou Runfa and Liang Chaowei and Fu Luo was just a thriller.
To be honest, despite Wu Yusen's incredible pride, he has to admit that after the continuous failures of "The Whisperer" and "The Memory Break", he no longer has a foothold in Hollywood. That place is so realistic and cruel, especially for an outsider like him, it is even more a loss, which is equivalent to falling into the abyss.
In 2000, Wu Yusen filmed "Disc 2". At that time, he was very energetic. At a promotional event in Hong Kong, he said he would not make Chinese films again in the future.
If nothing unexpected happened later, it was indeed Wu Yusen's truest thought, but the big pit, this big pit, this big pit made him want to say M... Anyway, Wu Yusen had slapped himself in the face this time. Fortunately, several years have passed, so not many people will still remember this matter, right?
No matter what, Wu Yusen wants to make a movie that can cause another sensation, so that he can take advantage of the opportunity to return to Hollywood in his dream. Therefore, he attaches special importance to the selection of actors. Then, actors like Fu Luo, who have good acting skills and high box office appeal, are the best candidates he needs.
"Then, Director Wu, have a happy cooperation!" As long as he said this, Fu Luo was not hesitating and nodded immediately and agreed.
“Happy cooperation!”
When Wu Yusen heard Fu Luo's words, he was relieved. This happened. I heard that Li An also wanted to gather Liang Chaowei and Fu Luo, two Cannes actors, together, but in the end, it didn't work. Unexpectedly, he was done by himself. Here he had to smile proudly. The man who made him envious, jealous and hated, it seems that you can't do it.
…………
The next day, the news that Fu Luo joined "Red Cliff" spread throughout the entire circle with the operation of a person who was interested, and immediately caused quite a stir. Just as Wu Yusen said, Fu Luo, Zhou Runfa and Liang Chaowei got together, which was definitely a dreamy combination, and it was difficult for people not to pay attention to it.
"Why did I suddenly look forward to the movie "Red Cliff"? I just don't know what roles both Luo Shen, Zhou Runfa and Liang Chaowei play!"
"I guess Zhou Runfa will play Cao Cao, Liang Chaowei will play Zhuge Liang, and Luoshen will play Sun Quan. Don't be guessed by me!"
"I think everyone should not be too optimistic. Maybe they will change their minds in the end. After all, the king does not see the king. Can the two Cannes actors really get together? Not to mention that there is another Zhou Runfa, I think this matter is unfathomable."
"If Wu Yusen wants to have the ability, he will bring together the three Cannes actors, Mr. Ge, Liang Chaowei and Fu Luo, together. This is what makes me feel!"
"Take, Wu Yusen is a stray dog. He can't make it in Hollywood anymore, so he came to China. Didn't the old guy say he won't make Chinese films? What kind of big-headed garlic is used to be?"
"I just watched "Golden Armor" and my mood seemed a bit complicated. Apart from many "magnificent waves", only Luo Shen's "Drag Slash" is left. I have to say that the knife is really amazing. How come I suddenly hope Luo Shen will play Guan Er Ge, hahaha!"
There are expectants, worries, troublemakers, and crooked people. This is the reaction of everyone to Fu Luo joining "Red Cliff". It was very lively. But Fu Luo himself did not know any of these comments, because he had temporarily changed his itinerary and flew to LA.
It may be considered a bit unexpected. Fu Luo received a call temporarily and was told that "500 Days with Shamo" had been prepared in advance. Just when the male lead was in place, the movie could be officially started.
That's right, the script Fu Luo last read at Paramount headquarters was the love movie "500 Days with Shamo". Although this movie did not sell well, the faint feeling made people fall in love with it at a glance. Fu Luo was naturally no exception, so he invested in this movie.
Although the original movie in my memory seems to have only achieved a global box office of 60 million US dollars, "500 Days with Shamo" itself is also low. Just like the budget given by Fu Luo this time is $6 million. Even if the box office does not reach the original level in the end, as long as there is no major accident, the possibility of losing money should not exist.
After all, in the United States, compared with the pirated versions in China, the DVD income of a movie is the real place to make money, so the possibility of Fu Luo making money has been greatly increased.
He can make money and make a movie he likes. Fu Luo naturally hopes to have more things like this.
…………
On the 20th, when Fu Luo arrived at LA, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. After a simple meal, he rested in the villa rented by Guan Qingqing, preparing to fall back to the time difference of 15 hours.
Soon, a quiet night passed, and Fu Luo woke up immediately felt refreshed. He looked at the time again and found that it was almost six o'clock. He immediately changed into a sportswear and prepared to go out for a run and practice boxing. No matter where he walked, he still maintained this habit.
An hour later, Fu Luo, who had already sweated a lot, returned to the villa. As soon as he entered the door, he immediately ran into a piece of Yingying Yanyan wearing pajamas. He was chatting, toasting bread, and pouring milk.
"Boss, morning!"
"The boss has become handsome again!"
"Boss, I really want to seduce you!"
"Boss, I'm practicing in the morning again!"
When the girls in the house saw him, they immediately greeted Fu Luo with laughter, and they were all very casual, some of whom were flattering and some were directly teasing. Anyway, none of them treated him as the boss and teased him in a variety of ways, which made him really a little unbearable.
By the way, Fu Luo really rarely goes to Sandun Entertainment. Throughout the year, he can count it with his fingers alone. Then Guan Qingqing is in charge of everything. He is particularly doubting whether the other party has any prejudice against men. Otherwise, there will be more than 30 people in the entire company now. Why are most of the people a group of women's deputies? The ratio of men and women is terrifying to 1 to 9, which makes Fu Luo afraid that the few male employees who have been with these women's deputies for a long time will become a mother?
In addition, Fu Luo never puts on airs, so he lets these women bully him. Every time he goes to the company, he will be "titled" once, and he will become more and more rampant.
Suddenly, Fu Luo thought of something terrifying again. It seems that this time, when he filmed "500 Days with Shamo", he seemed to have to spend nearly two months with these dozen women "day and night". Oh my God, just thinking about it is a bit...
"Hello everyone, you guys are busy, I'll go take a shower first!" I couldn't think about it anymore, smiled embarrassedly, and Fu Luo "escaped in panic".
"Wow, I'm going to peek at the boss for a shower!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The teasing sounds and laughter sounded again in an instant.
“…”
Believe this group of "crazy" women, do you believe it or not, I forcibly fired you...!
Fifteen minutes later, when Fu Luo came to the hall again after taking a shower, he found that Mark Webb, Scott Neuststadt and Michael H Webb also came to the villa together.
Moreover, these three foreign goods looked at him with an inexplicable look at him. Fu Luo, who was a man, instantly understood that everyone was told that this room was full of women.
