Xiao Yunhai finished the call and heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness I made it in time."
Zhang Xiaojing said, "Yunhai, who gave you this information?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "The crown prince of MGM Grand Film Company, Kree. Haha, thank goodness he gave me the information in time. Otherwise, I'd be in trouble. Sister Lin is the same. I told her last night not to rush into the deal and to wait for me to investigate Randall's background first. Why is she so impatient? "
Zhang Xiaojing sighed and said, "Lin Hui might be too impatient. One had to know that she was not young anymore, and her acting skills were not that outstanding. She wouldn't want to miss such a good opportunity. "
Xiao Yunhai frowned and didn't say anything.
He knew very well that Zhang Xiaojing was right.
In the entertainment industry, female actors had a shorter acting career than male actors. The older an actor was, the more popular he was. In his previous life, Andy Lau and Andy Lau were in their fifties and could still act in roles that were in their twenties or thirties.
Female actors couldn't do the same. They were at their peak between twenty-five and thirty-five years old. Once they were over forty, their acting skills would be better, but their appearance would look older. No one would be able to take on the role of a twenty-year-old girl.
Half an hour later, Lin Hui, Lin Lu, and the others walked in.
Seeing Xiao Yunhai sitting on the sofa, Lin Hui bowed deeply to him without saying a word.
Xiao Yunhai saw this and couldn't be angry. He quickly stood up and said, "Sister Lin, what are you doing?"
Lin Hui said gratefully, "Director Xiao, I really don't know how to repay you. Not only did you recognize my talent, but you also saved me this time. I'm really grateful. "
It turned out that when Xiao Yunhai called Lin Lu, Lin Hui and Randall had already started discussing the contract.
If Lin Lu hadn't secretly told her about Randall's identity, she would have signed the contract with him in no time.
Thinking about the consequences of signing the contract, Lin Hui shuddered.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Sister Lin, we're friends. It's only right that we help each other. By the way, that Randall didn't do anything to you, right? "
Lin Hui shook her head and said, "No. Even when I told him he needed to think it over, he didn't do anything rude. When he left, he even sent us to the car in a very gentlemanly manner. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's good. It seemed that Randall and his company were able to thrive in Hollywood for a reason. At the very least, they won't threaten or force actors to make movies. "
Lin Hui said bitterly, "But they've been lying all this time."
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's right. Therefore, everyone must be careful in the future. Especially overseas, it was best to have a lawyer present when signing a contract. Alright, Sister Lin, don't think about this anymore. It's almost time. Let's have lunch first. Big Brother Black Tortoise will probably bring people over at 5 pm. "
Everyone nodded and went to the restaurant to have lunch. Then, they returned to their bedrooms to rest.
At 2 pm, Xiao Yunhai received a call from Wu Zixu, asking him to pick them up at the airport.
When Xiao Yunhai heard that, he quickly drove to the Los Angeles airport again. He immediately saw Wu Zixu and the others chatting at the entrance of the parking lot.
Xiao Yunhai helped them into the car and said with a smile, "Director Wu, Teacher Ge, Teacher Wang, Teacher Sun, Senior Brother, the five of you are very busy. What brings you all here? "
Wu Zixu chuckled and said, "Of course it's the hurricane of the three Oscars."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Director Wu, do you believe that yourself? In any case, I don't believe it. Not to mention the three awards, even if it swept all the Oscars, it probably wouldn't be able to attract all the teachers here. "
Regarding their sudden visit, Xiao Yunhai was also muttering in his heart.
Previously, he had heard that Wu Zixu was preparing for a movie, and it seemed to be quite popular. Could it be that he wanted to invite him?
Wu Zixu smiled and said, "Yunhai, to be honest, we came here for two purposes. The first is to congratulate you on winning the Oscars for Best Action Design, Best Foreign Language Film, and Best Director. This is the first time in our Hua Xia film industry. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Thank you, everyone. Tonight, I'm going to hold a gathering. Big Brother Li Xuanwu will bring many Hollywood Chinese celebrities over. Teachers, you came at the right time. Let's gather together and have some fun. "
Ge Wuyou's eyes lit up and he said, "That's great. Ever since Old Li came to Hollywood, let alone chat, we don't even have the chance to meet. Tonight, we can reminisce about old times. "
Ge Wuyou and Li Xuanwu had a very good relationship. They had once worked together to film two movies, one civil and one martial arts. They were very famous in the industry.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It's not a problem even if we chat for the whole night. Director Wu, what's the second purpose? "
Wu Zixu thought for a moment and said, "Yunhai, I'm preparing to film a Three Kingdoms movie called 'Battle of Red Cliffs'. It will probably start on May 20th. We came here this time to invite you to play the role of Zhou Yu. "
Xiao Yunhai revealed an "as expected" expression and said, "Director Wu, you know that I'm going to film two movies in a row. I don't have time at all."
Wang Guoan said, "Yunhai, the script of 'Battle of Red Cliffs' is really not bad. Not to mention the grand atmosphere, the lines have also been corrected by many experts. It has fully integrated ancient and modern language. With Director Wu's directing ability and our acting skills, it will definitely be good. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Teacher Wang, aren't you filming 'Yongzheng Dynasty'? And Teacher Sun, you seem to be filming 'Water Margin' too, right? What methods did Director Wu use to get the two of them to take on 'Three Kingdoms'? "
Sun Yanjun said, "Of course it's good. Yunhai, Zhou Yu's importance in the Battle of Red Cliffs goes without saying. It's not that we're arrogant, but in the entire entertainment industry, it's really hard to find anyone else other than you who is qualified to act with us. Although Deng Yue and Jiang Yaokun are not bad, they haven't reached the peak of acting. We've always thought that you're the best choice for Zhou Yu. "
Xiao Yunhai asked, "How long will this movie take to film?"
Wu Zixu said, "The longest filming period is no more than half a year. You have a lot of scenes, but it shouldn't take more than two months in total. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled bitterly and said, "It won't be long, but I'm afraid that my movie won't be able to be filmed. After all, I'm the director. I can't leave the crew. Director Wu, you'd better find someone else. Oh right, Teacher Wang, didn't you say that Director Chen's son, Chen Xiangyang, is very good at acting? Why don't you find him? "
Wang Guoan shook his head and said, "It might be fine in four or five years, but he doesn't have the qualifications now. Yunhai, your filming speed has always been frighteningly fast. How long do you expect to finish filming your movie? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "My two movies are very special. I need actors with solid acting skills, who can be down to earth, and who can speak various dialects. I haven't done anything now. I only told Huang Bo to make time for me. As for the other roles, I need to do a large-scale audition. If everything goes well, the two movies will take at least three months. "
"Three months?" Wu Zixu frowned and said, "We can't afford to wait. Yunhai, can't you film one first? The crew can wait for you for two months. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Director Wu, do you really want me to act in it so much? You have to know that my salary is quite high. Even I don't know how much it is. "
Wu Zixu smiled and said, "You can let your manager talk to the producers about your salary. As long as you agree to act in it, it's fine."
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Director Wu, I want to take a look at the script first."
When Wu Zixu heard that, a smile appeared on his face. He said confidently, "I've already brought the script. I guarantee that you'll like it."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Then I'll have to study hard."
Regarding Wu Zixu and the rest's invitation, it was indeed hard for Xiao Yunhai to decline. When he first entered the film industry, Wang Guoan and Sun Yanjun looked at him differently. Wu Zixu even let him act in Grandmaster. This was all a favor.
Now, they had come all the way here from China and sincerely invited him to act in Battle of Red Cliffs. If he refused, it would be inappropriate.
At the very least, he wouldn't be able to get over it.
Some people in the outside world would probably spread the news and say that he had forgotten his roots.
