Chapter 511 [Audition invitation, homecoming]

The news that "The Lost Lover" will be launched is officially announced by Paramount Pictures, and the famous director Steven Spielberg is the producer.

This incident was reported by entertainment media in many countries. The second film directed by Liang Kun had plans for a new film before it was released. It was obvious that Paramount and Speech both attached great importance to him and he became even more famous.

Paramount said that the production cost of this movie will not be less than $50 million. If the male lead is determined to be Liang Kun, the female lead will choose the right big-name star to star.

No one competes with Liang Kun, and Paramount people can't think of any Chinese movie star that is more suitable than Liang Kun. The scripts are written by Liang Kun. He is more familiar with this role than anyone else. He is the most famous young male star in Asia.

All the actors in Asia include Cheng Long, only Cheng Long is more famous than Liang Kun. Cheng Long certainly cannot act in "The Lost Lover". His fame is only temporary. When Liang Kun reaches Cheng Long's age, it is entirely possible to surpass him in terms of achievements.

As soon as the news came out, many Hollywood actresses born in the 1970s hoped to play the leading role. Among them, Charlize Theron, Kate Winslet, and Reese Witherspoon, whom Liang Kun wanted to work with the most, were also interested in this role.

They all came for Spielberg's name, and being a producer of the big guys means that the quality of the movie is not bad. In addition, this is a bestseller adapted from the movie, with unique content, and it may be shot to the Golden Globes and Oscars.

Witherspoon, who is in the parallel world, likes this movie very much and buys the adaptation rights to act by himself. As a result, director David Finch didn't like her and chose Pei Chunhua as the heroine. Now she really wants to play this role, but she will definitely not pass the audition.

In March this year, Witherspoon just won the 78th Academy Award for Best Actress and the 63rd Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in Music and Comedy Films for her musical biographical film "Walking with Songs". Her pay has reached the peak of her career, but her box office appeal is very low and her image is not suitable.

Liang Kun was not interested in working with Winslet, although she was very famous.

The film "Titanic" not only made everyone popular Little Little, but also "Shredded Pork" Winslet all over the world. She has a beauty that is like an oil painting, and can withstand the craftsmanship and tests from time. However, she never thought of using her beauty to sport the film industry and liked to perform her acting skills.

Some people's nicknames are just called to play, for example, "Fat Di" is so thin that she is as thin as a flash of lightning. The appearance of "King of Beauty" goes out to buy watermelons and dares not keep it from being ripe. "Fat and Warm" is really fat. She often lets herself go and her figure is not very photogenic.

Liang Kun still tends toward Theron, hoping that there will be no trouble during the audition.

Liang Kun's only recommended actor is Son Ye-jin, who wants her to play the role of the male lead Nick Deng's sister Marg Deng. This surname is a typical Chinese surname, but there are also people in Europe and the United States, such as NBA star Luo Er Deng.

Margo has a lot of scenes, and Son Ye-jin was auditioned by Los Angeles. In fact, she just went through the motions and came to the United States for a while.

Son Ye-jin's contract with a Korean agency has not yet expired. After knowing that Liang Kun invited her to audition in Los Angeles, the senior executives of the agency were also very excited and of course they were happy to go to Hollywood to film.

South Korean media also immediately announced the incident in China. As long as Son Ye-jin passes the audition, there is no successful example before she will become the first actress in South Korea to play an important role in Hollywood.

The Korean media felt that the role had been decided before the audition started. Korean fanatics were all proud of their idols. In "The Lost Love", the male protagonist and sister are Chinese, but Liang Kun asked Sun Xian to play it, but did not ask for Chinese actors, which proves Sun Xian's acting skills and charm.

They didn't know that Sun Xian's role had to imitate Samuel Jackson's performance style, otherwise he would not be able to perform the essence. Tang Qi could not play it because she couldn't do a good job as a "mother and fucking hero" and her expression was unconvincing.

Chinese media also reported this incident. Many people wonder why Liang Kun did not use good actors from China, such as Zhang Ziyi.

A Chinese reporter went to Los Angeles to interview Liang Kun and asked about this matter. "Zhang Ziyi is very good at English and has a high popularity in Hollywood. Why don't you consider asking her to cooperate with her?"

Liang Kun patiently explained: "This is why I didn't look for her. I have her contact information, but she played the leading role in "Memoirs of Geisha" before, and was a guest at the Oscars last year, and awarded the Best Editing Award. If I asked her to play a supporting role, it would be a decline for her."

The reporter asked: "Then are there any Chinese characters in this drama?"

"There are no important roles. In the future, I will definitely work with Chinese actors and write a new script or not now." Liang Kun paused and smiled and said, "I can't change the plot significantly to cooperate with my compatriots, right?"

Unless he is crazy, he will do that. There are too many Asian characters in a Hollywood movie that almost means a failure.

There are only two people, and the audience can still accept it. This is the result of Liang Kun's transformation. In addition, he will not take risks with his future to help an unfamiliar woman.

If there is no butterfly effect, soon Zhang Ziyi will fall in love with Goldman Sachs Group's largest private investor, Time Warner Group's largest individual shareholder, and billionaire Ive Niwo, with a net worth of over 10 billion. Although the two broke up due to the pre-marital agreement, before that, Ivey is more suitable to be the backer of International Zhang.

Liang Kun found a very good reason, and he praised Zhang Ziyi, meaning that she was suitable for playing the leading actress, not the supporting actress.

In fact, after the release of "Memoirs of Geisha", the supporting actress Gong Li made two consecutive movies in Hollywood, making a big splash. The heroine Zhang Ziyi has not yet been settled except for a "Night Banquet" that cannot be sold in the United States.

This "Memoir of Geisha" gave Zhang Ziyi a Golden Globe nomination, and it was also reported that her value increased to $5 million after filming this film. However, the movie's box office in North America was less than $60 million, and the global box office was only $160 million. Filmmakers were destined to lose money. How could any filmmakers be willing to spend a high price to invite Zhang Ziyi to film?

According to Hollywood rules, supporting roles must be to find people with low value, and the protagonists try to find celebrities who can resist box office performances. Zhang Ziyi does not take any of these two things. Even if Liang Kun is willing to recommend her, the producers will not agree to use her.

If she was willing to lower her pay and act like she was filming the previous blockbuster, the film company would consider it. And Paramount would definitely think that 500,000 yuan was too much, which was so realistic. Without an actor, he would be able to reduce his pay by himself, and it would be difficult to get promoted again.

Not to mention Chinese actresses like Zhang Ziyi, Theron, who won the Oscar-winning actress, cannot escape this law.

Theron was invited to audition for "The Lost Lover". Based on her current situation, filming best-selling adaptations of best-selling books is the best choice. The premise is that she has to reduce the price appropriately. Her pay for the previous movie "The Magician" was 10 million, and the final money received by the film company may not be as much as her.

To star in "The Lost Love", Theron's reasonable salary is between 6 million and 8 million. It's a matter of detail. She doesn't have many choices. If she takes on bad movies in order to maintain a high pay, she will continue to lose the price and form a vicious cycle.

Spieburg also thinks she is quite suitable, she is sweet enough when she smiles, and a strong aura when she is indifferent.

On December 27, Son Ye-jin arrived in Los Angeles. Liang Kun disguised herself and went to the airport to pick her up.

Although Liang Kun made an Ibrahimovic long hair style, put on two beards, and looked like a street artist who was engaged in art, Sun Ye-jin still recognized him at a glance.

"You need to disguise in Los Angeles too?" Sun Ye-jin asked with a smile.

"Yes, I am also a celebrity in the United States. Usually, I will look for a short hair look, and someone will ask me for an autograph." Liang Kun smiled and said, "Because of "Escape Room", I have become a representative of elite Chinese."

"But your facial features have not changed, just change your hairstyle, just a fake beard and a pair of eyes." Sun Ye-jin suspected that he was bragging.

"I also find it strange that Americans are like this. Superman doesn't even change his hairstyle, and they can't recognize him if he only wears a pair of glasses."

“…”

This is not a racial discrimination, but a "interracial effect".

When humans grow up, they are most exposed to the same race. Accurately distinguishing the faces of the same race is conducive to social interaction and ethnic survival, and meet the needs of evolution. Therefore, the human brain automatically debugs to adapt to needs, which leads to the general "perception narrowing" in the process of people's perceptual development, and the ability to distinguish the faces of foreign races is lost.

Many people overcome this defect after going abroad, even if they deliberately overcome it, it is difficult to eliminate it. Chinese people think that blacks and whites are the same, and they can only distinguish them unless they are very distinctive or very famous.

For example, Anne Hathaway is very easy to recognize. People from all countries can remember her big eyes and mouth. Or NBA center Ewing is like this, especially famous. Seeing a gorilla playing basketball with humans, that is Ewing.

Liang Kun drove Son Ye-jin home in Audi. He knew that he had not been here for a long time, so Son Ye-jin didn't bring much luggage.

After entering the villa, Sun Ye-jin asked curiously: "Why are there no one at home? Where are your friends and assistants? And Teresa, isn't she living here anymore?"

"I didn't bring my assistant this time. Teresa returned home and visited her relatives and attended an awards ceremony in Australia."

Teresa knew that Son Ye-jin was coming, and didn't know how to face her, so she returned to China on the 20th. The last time the two met, she had a good relationship, but this time she suspected that Son Ye-jin would not give her any good face.

I treat you as my sister, but you actually seduced my boyfriend?

Teresa felt that she was too bad. This incident had a direct relationship with her watching a small movie at home. Of course, it was true that she attended the awards ceremony. She was nominated for Best Actress in "2:37".

She knew that the movie was of course not going to win the award, but she didn't mind showing her face in front of her hometown elders.

When she left Australia, she was nowhere to be famous and now she returned home in glory...
