Chapter 155
Now Cretton can barely hook up with second-tier directors at Hollywood.
He has made some movies.
Don’t even think about big productions.
However, people always have to have dreams.
Creighton is not satisfied with the status quo. He feels that he can still go up.
Cretton is self-aware and knows that even if he is ambitious, he cannot directly take over the most popular movies in the Marvel Universe at this time.
Ever since, he chose Marvel’s spin-off theme”Shang-Chi”.
This is a movie with an Oriental protagonist.
He plans to find one or two Chinese actors to play supporting roles in”Shang-Chi”.
Then, naturally, it is to attract investment from China.
He believes that given the Chinese people’s yearning for Hollywood, he only needs to give a role of some importance to attract investment!
No, Crichton just sent an email to China Film Group two days ago.
The other party showed an extremely positive side.
In fact, the other party made it clear in the email that investment is not a problem! correct!
The other party also mentioned an actor named Lin Feng in the email.
Creighton went out of his way to search for Lin Feng’s information.
“This actor does have a high influence in China”
“Moreover, his acting skills are also excellent, and the villain he plays is impressive.”
“Adding him to”Shang-Chi” is indeed a good choice.”
Thinking about this, Crichton found John, a department manager at Marvel.
He told John his thoughts.
After listening to Crichton’s thoughts, John pondered for a while and then said:”I’m still not quite sure. I believe in the influence and appeal of Chinese actors”
“To take a step back, even if the Lin you are talking about really has a certain box office appeal in China, so what?”
“A Chinese market, compared to the rest of the world, is simply not enough.”
“What we at Marvel need is to think globally.”
John’s impression of China is obviously still in the past few years.
The Chinese film market in the past few years was indeed sluggish.
China’s highest box office record even only exceeded one billion!
The movies produced by Marvel all exceeded three to four billion US dollars. Damn it!
Because of Lin Feng’s appearance, the total box office of a single movie in China is close to 3 billion.
Sorry! People in the beautiful country should understand this.
It’s hard for anyone to imagine the speed of China’s development.
If you haven’t seen it with your own eyes, how can you believe that China has been changing every year in the past ten years? Not everyone is lucky enough to witness it with their own eyes!
Chinese actors have no box office appeal, but he did not directly deny Cretton.
He pondered for a while and said:”Since you said they can afford the filming cost, we might as well take a look at what you said. Linba”
“Anyway, if it fails, someone will pay for it.”
“Moreover,”Shang-Chi” is not our Marvel flagship, and its failure will not have a big impact on us.”
Hearing this, Creighton was immediately overjoyed.
“John, you know movies!”
“We at Marvel are so blessed to have you!”
Crichton’s desire to please is almost overflowing.
Some people may think that as a director, how could Crichton be so humble when facing a manager?
In China, directors can still stand upright even when facing capital. What about the waist?
This has something to do with the Hollywood film system.
Hollywood is a producer system, which means that in a movie, the producer has the”supreme” power.
This is actually why many major Hollywood directors set up companies. The reason.
Do all major directors want the right to speak?
Here, Crichton got John’s approval. He quickly returned to his office and contacted China Film.
After receiving the news, Han Sanping immediately approached him personally. Lin Feng
“Lin Feng, you must seize this opportunity.”
“I believe you will be able to become famous internationally with this opportunity”
“I also believe that you will become the first actor after the millennium to truly establish a foothold in Hollywood!”
Han Sanping was full of expectations for Lin Feng.
He was even ready to make a money-losing deal.
Lin Feng didn’t do anything. After talking with Han Sanping, he directly booked a ticket to Hollywood.
Two days later, Lin Feng brought Xia Yu arrived in Beautiful Country.
Crichton happened to have something to do and couldn’t come to pick him up in person.
However, the other party didn’t neglect Lin Feng and sent a driver to come here.
Crichton also booked a five-star hotel for Lin Feng..
Speaking of which, the specifications were not bad.
The only thing that made Lin Feng a little uncomfortable was that the other party called him two days later.
At this time, Lin Feng brought Xia Yu to Crichton’s office.
“Sorry, sorry, something happened in the past two days, so I was negligent.”
“You must be Mr. Lin Feng, right?”
“I’m Crichton”
“Nice to see you here.”
Crichton was very enthusiastic when he saw Lin Feng.
In Crichton’s view, Lin Feng was the sponsor, so of course he had to be enthusiastic.
Lin Feng also greeted him politely.
After the two of them chatted for a while, they sat on the sofa He sat down.
Crichton took out two wine glasses, filled them with wine, and then pushed one cup in front of Lin Feng, while he picked up another glass of wine and drank.
This made Lin Feng a little uncomfortable at work.
Aren’t you afraid of delaying your work? Lin Feng wasn’t used to it and didn’t understand it, but he didn’t say anything about it. Why did he take a sip at this time ? The drunk Crichton finally got down to business.
“The movie we are preparing is called”Shang-Chi”》”
“This is the next key project of our Marvel company”
“It’s an investment of at least US$100 million.”
Who said that beautiful Chinese people are very down-to-earth and won’t brag?
This bragging will go to the sky!
Lin Feng doesn’t mind this.
However, when Crichton asked Lin Feng to play a villain role, Lin Feng’s He couldn’t help but frown slightly.
When Crichton”finished drawing the pie” and looked at Lin Feng again, he said,”How was it? Is this a great movie?”
“Did you ever feel like the character you were about to play would be great? After
Lin Feng pondered for a while, he said:”Mr. Creighton, I’m sorry.”
“I may not be suitable for”Shang-Chi”》”
Creighton couldn’t help but be stunned.
Lin is rejecting me?
Is he rejecting Hollywood?
Is he rejecting Marvel?
How can it be!
“Why? Creighton couldn’t help but ask.
Lin Feng said:”I’m too young and not suitable for the role.””
“I don’t want to be a burden to Shang-Chi.”
Crichton wanted to say something else, but after seeing Lin Feng’s firm expression, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Then, he couldn’t help but frown tightly.
The other party did reject him!
This Crichton was filled with doubts. At the same time,
Crichton couldn’t help feeling angry.
Why did a Chinese actor dare to refuse a Hollywood movie
?
“Okay, we’ll see you again when we have the chance.” After all
, Creighton still maintained a bit of gentlemanly demeanor and did not rant on the spot.
However, his face turned completely cold. He did not even stand up to send Lin Feng and Xia Yu away.
Do you still want us Creighton to look good?
K Liton now wished he could give Lin Feng a slap in the face!
