Ma Rao immediately settled in Li Fanyu's apartment, buried himself at the desk and worked day and night for three days before completing the revision of the script for "Extraordinary Human Trafficking".
After finishing the script, he dragged Li Fanyu to Hollywood and came to TSOI Film and Television Production Company, which had been changed to Zhengxin's name.
This is Li Fanyu's first visit in person, and everyone in the company naturally greeted his new owner with 100% caution and respect.
In this three-acre area of Hollywood, anyone who can take over a film and television company that is about to go public in a matter of minutes is definitely a powerful capitalist.
After TSOI was acquired, everyone in the company inquired about the new owner.
They don’t know the name Li Fanyu very well, but Zhengxin is not difficult to understand. The F150 is now making waves in the market, although Zhengxin is still in the ascendant in the United States. But with the rapid acquisition of TSOI, from the tip of the iceberg, all employees knew that their new owner was not someone to be trifled with.
In other words, after learning that the company was acquired at a very low price, some senior executives had other ideas. But in the face of the faint strength revealed by Zhengxin, each of these people gave up their little jiujiu.
The current director of TSOI is named Ray Berg, who is also a veteran who has been in Hollywood for more than ten years.
At this time, he was surprised by the age of his new boss.
Xu Lin is thirty-three years old this year. Rui Berg originally thought that he was young enough as soon as he entered the competition. But now that he saw Li Fanyu, his three views were refreshed.
I had heard before that there were so many young rich people in China, but now that I saw it... Rui Berg believed it 80% of the time.
And when he learned that his new boss had to invest 30 million in commercial film production just after taking over the company, Rui Berg was even more shocked.
This handwriting is truly extraordinary!
You know, when Xu Lin was at the helm, the company's largest investment was less than US$10 million.
Although 30 million is not considered top-notch in Hollywood where masterpieces are frequently produced, for the scale of TSOI, it is still a large investment.
"Boss, when do you want to start? How about we go to the Hollywood film library to select scripts first?"
Li Fanyu sat on Rui Berg's office chair and shook his head, "No, the script is already there. Just cooperate with Director Ma to make the next preparations."
Ma Rao stood up at the right time and shook hands with Rui Berg.
Rui Berg is a little confused; as his new boss, he doesn’t play by the rules...
Prepare your own director, prepare your own script...
Didn’t you say that he makes cars?
Looks like this...it doesn’t look like it...
But as a manager, this is obviously not an issue he should consider too much.
He nodded hurriedly, "Okay sir, no problem, I will definitely cooperate with Director Ma Rao. Um... Boss, do you have any preferences for role candidates?"
This is a more skillful question.
Ray Berg worked under Xu Lin. In the past, Xu Lin would often designate heroines in movies in order to pick up girls. In his opinion, Li Fanyu was so young that he might be the same as his old club in this regard.
Li Fanyu coughed lightly and said, "As for the heroine, I will make arrangements later. As for the male protagonist, my personal opinion is to contact Jason Statham."
Hehe... the heroine's appointment is indeed a routine.
But... the male protagonist is Jason Statham, boss, are you kidding me?
With a ridiculous investment of 30 million, Jason Statham will be used as a male pig's trotter?
Except for the salary, what else is left?
So, he tested: "Um...boss, Jason's salary is now almost 12 to 3 million US dollars. Are you sure you want to ask him to be the leading actor?"
Aha?
Li Fanyu was stunned.
He seems to have overlooked something important...
In the previous time and space, when he participated in "Trafficker 1", Jason Statham was still a little-known actor. He had only played a major role in "Two Smoking Barrels" before.
The salary at that time was about seven to eight million US dollars.
But now... although there is no "Extraordinary Human Trafficker" in this time and space, Jason's own conditions are there. After starring in a series of action movies, this guy has now become Stallone's successor, and has a vague aura as the number one action star in Hollywood.
To use his words again... 30 million is a small investment.
Seeing Li Fanyu's embarrassed look, Ma Rao couldn't hold back his joy.
He waved to Ray Berg, "Director Li is joking. We will talk about the casting later. Let's talk about the script first."
……
After coming out of TSOI, Li Fanyu was still a little depressed.
Things that were planned well were disrupted because of my own negligence and self-importance.
Although "Trafficker" has a good script and everything, it became a hit in the first place largely because of Jason Statham's outstanding action performance.
Now seeing that the big shot couldn't afford it, he couldn't help but waver about whether the movie would be successful.
Ma Rao is a man who has read a lot of people. You can tell he is angry when you see his appearance.
"What's wrong? Isn't it because I can't afford Jason and I'm getting hit?"
Li Fanyu nodded, "I thought he was the most suitable actor for this movie."
Ma Rao smiled and shook his head, "You still don't understand the movie thoroughly. There are many actors, but it doesn't mean that the bigger the reputation, the better. The best is to meet the conditions of the movie! From When I was discussing the script with you that day, I heard that you were attracted to Jason. Are you a fan of his?"
Li Fanyu shook his head, there was no way to explain this. But if I have to explain it, I can only say that I want to perfectly copy the original version of the previous time and space.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Ma Rao enlightened: "There are not many outstanding action stars in Hollywood, but I have screened them over the past two days and found a more suitable candidate."
"Who is it?" Li Fan asked curiously.
"Yeah, Liam Neeson."
Um?
Hearing this candidate, Li Fanyu patted his head.
In the previous time and space, this handsome uncle became famous with "Schindler's List" and received an Oscar nomination. But after that, Liam Neeson's road to Hollywood was not smooth. It was not until he starred in "Taken" in 2008 that he became a new star in the Hollywood action tough guy genre.
Speaking of "Taken", it has something to do with "Trafficker". The scripts for both films were co-produced by Robert Kamen.
But unfortunately, Robert Kamen does not exist in Hollywood in this time and space. So both "Trafficker" and "Taken" disappeared.
The famous action movie has disappeared, and due to the butterfly effect, Liam Nees is still in a tepid state, with a salary of only three to five million US dollars.
Recalling Uncle Liam's heroic appearance in "Hurricane Rescue", Li Fanyu really admired Ma Rao's vision and foresight.
But in my impression, Liam Neeson is an uncle who is more than five years old...
So he grinned and said: "I'm a little older, I'm an old cucumber."
Unexpectedly, Ma Rao smiled coquettishly: "What are you always afraid of? It's hard to deal with your age on the screen if you clean it up well? You know, this guy has acting skills and his skills are not bad. The old cucumber has hair. Relationship, a layer of green paint will make it look thicker!”
Li Fanyu glanced at this guy.
Dirty!
