477. Chapter 477 Scene 477 The Crew Gathered

"Mr. Fody... has indeed brought a new look in the head office. With this wonderful movie by Mr. Cruise, our company's performance will depend on the cooperation of the two in the next year. You also know that the movie "007" was actually developed by the Brocree family. Our company's profit is very meager. I'm afraid we will be in vain for another year." Canon looked at Tom Cruise with a slight smile:

"Mr. Cruise, then do you have any other projects in your United States?"

Tom Cruise was about to speak, but suddenly realized that he was not the helm of Lianmei. He turned his head and looked at Li Xiaole awkwardly. The whole of MGM and Hollywood believed that he was the person behind Lianmei. Li Xiaole was just a puppet, which made him sometimes forget...

Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, Li Xiaole stood up calmly and handed him to Fordy with his pre-sale contract: "This is my new project." Since Tom Cruise and Fordy have already negotiated privately, he will naturally have to hand it over to Sony for release, which will save him a lot of trouble.

"Your new project?" Fody turned his head and looked at Tom Cruise in confusion. However, Tom Cruise was also confused, saying that he was not aware of this.

"Your actor is Matthew Perry, and Scarlett Johnson? The pre-sale money he received is 10.5 million US dollars?" Fody couldn't help but open her mouth after reading it. The contract indicated the reservation contracts of 147 theaters, two DVD producers, and the bank's detailed loan amount.

Everyone at the scene was stunned, and everyone including Tom Cruise showed an inexplicable expression of surprise. Canon looked at Li Xiaole in surprise, unable to believe his ears.

When everyone saw Li Xiaole nodding with a plain expression, everyone whispered and whispered. A director from China who had never filmed any Hollywood themes actually received a pre-sale of 10 million yuan. This means that his American debut will have to make a movie with a production fee of 30 million US dollars and a promotional fee of 20 million US dollars!? This is too incredible~!!

"This..." Fatty Fat showed a embarrassed expression on his face, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled awkwardly and said with a hint: "The only release of Tom's movie I have reported to the head office. This movie is not within the plan. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble MGM to deal with it myself..." As he said that, his eyes floated towards Canon.

Canon's face was extremely gloomy and said in a cold tone: "I seem to have explained that we will produce the 007 series this year, and we have no other resources to take into account other works. We have an investment of 30 million US dollars. I'm afraid that we MGM will not be able to do it." He actually wanted to push it to me, but this idiot was thinking about it.

"I know you have difficulties, but can't you overcome it and leave everything to the head office to handle it!" Fodi also became anxious and said with an octave increase.

"I'm really sorry, I'll say it again, we can't do anything." Karnon slapped the table angrily and glared at Forddy fiercely, as if he was about to get up and beat him at any time.

"I said Fody..." Seeing Li Xiaole being kicked around like a ball, standing there awkwardly, Tom Cruise finally couldn't see it, and coughed gently:

"I remember that the agreement between you and me was that all the movies of United States were handed over to the head office for distribution, and it was not said that I was producing them or Lee's production. If you have this attitude, then I will also withdraw." As he said that, Tom Cruise made a surrender gesture with both hands.

"But I..." Fordie was crying and screamed in his heart. How could he know that this Chinese boy would get so many pre-sales!! Isn't this killing him? However, when he saw Tom Cruise publicly looking like he was advancing and retreating with Li Xiaole, he could only measure the great relationship of the matter in his heart. Finally, he sighed and said helplessly:

"Okay...Okay...I'll go negotiate with the head office, I'll go negotiate..." The expression was like stepping on dog shit and going to the bathroom to wash shoes.

Li Xiaole threw a grateful look at Tom Cruise, and Tom Cruise responded with a smile and patted his chest with his fist, which meant "You're welcome, we're brothers."

Everyone looked strange and whispered to discuss this strange thing. Canon was indeed looking at Forddy with a grievance and sneered in his heart. He took over two harsh bottles at one time. This self-righteous idiot is really sad.

Li Xiaole sat back in his seat, and Wagner next to Tom Cruise couldn't help but sigh, as if he didn't know what to say.

"Why do I feel that no one is optimistic about us..." Although he was approved, Agai seemed to be unhappy at all. He always felt that others looked at him like he was watching a joke.

"Don't worry~ Lee, everyone's first movie is very difficult, so don't worry." Tom Cruise felt the hostility around him and comforted Li Xiaole with a smile: "Don't worry, if you think the producer is not very sure about this time, you can come to my film as a director for me if you have the chance in the future."

"Tom, I'm looking forward to our cooperation." Li Xiaole said sincerely. Tom Cruise is still a superstar far above his level, so of course he is qualified to support him, but in a short while, the gap between them will narrow to a very small extent, and it will not be necessary who will help him.

Under the strict film system, Canon could no longer play any tricks. After preparing for the movie for a week at home, Li Xiaole received a notice that the film shooting funds approved by Sony Company had been downloaded. In addition, contacting Tom Cruise, it was confirmed that it could rent a first-class shooting team, which made Li Xiaole feel very excited.

Everything is ready now. "Life Remote Control" is about to begin filming. The first step of his work when he returns to Hollywood is about to begin. This makes Li Xiaole feel inexplicably satisfied when lying on the bed. He seems to feel that he is holding the remote control of his life in his hand. Four years have passed like he is about to let go. Every step in the future, whether it is success or failure, can make him feel very wonderful, because he has stood on the stage that he has never dared to imagine in the past. Those once illusory dreams have become reality one by one, and there are more brilliant dreams waiting for him to realize in the future...

Li Xiaole sometimes couldn't tell whether he was awake or dreaming, but he could be sure that he was smiling happily...

After multiple coordination between Sony and Lianmei Caa, it took only four days for all personnel to coordinate. The crew of "Life Remote Control" held a simple meeting of actors and staff.

Although this is Hollywood, many aspects are still no different from China. The actors still have to pass the script before filming, and everyone finds the rhythm between each other.

"Hello everyone~ you should know me. I am Matthew Perry, and you can also call me Chand~" The male protagonist Matthew Perry is like the character in "Friends". He has a lively character and loves to joke very much. He jokes with other actors exaggeratedly, making the atmosphere on the scene very relaxed.

Everyone felt that this kind of relaxed comedy film would definitely be very pleasant to shoot. Everyone was in high spirits and chanting lines in strange tones, causing bursts of laughter from time to time.

Lei Ting felt a little more at ease when she saw this atmosphere next to her. After all, Hollywood is different from China. Although no one knows Li Xiaole, a Chinese director, she has shown extremely high professional ethics and does not require any emotional mobilization. A group of actors are already on track.

Li Xiaole has been sitting with Henry Winkler and Julie Kafna, the old actor who plays the protagonist Mike's parents, talking about something. This made other actors feel that they were neglected and felt a little uncomfortable. In fact, when they came today, they learned that the angel who played the protagonist's remote control in the play was played by a Chinese actor Liu Jiahui, everyone felt very uncomfortable.

In American films and TV series, the usual religious figures like angels and gods are played by whites or blacks, and angels played by yellow people, which makes people feel very ridiculous...

Seeing the actors and stars are resistant, while Li Xiaole has been talking to Henry and Julie in the corner, Scarlett couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but wonder, is this Chinese boy who can figure out the key points, why does he always focus on two supporting roles?

So she took the initiative to walk to Li Xiaole and reminded him in an old-fashioned manner:

"Director Lee, I hope you can pay attention to those young actors. They are different from senior actors like us, and their emotions are easily affected by the outside world."

Li Xiaole just smiled and waved his hand: "Let them hate me, I still have something to do."

"Okay, I'm meddling in other people's business." Scarlett shrugged and retreated helplessly.

"Henry, Julie, you have been observing for a long time. Judging from your feelings, can Matthew play this drama well?" Li Xiaole turned his head and continued the topic of gray hair.

The veteran actor who has acted in more than a dozen American dramas smiled gently: "It's very good, very good." Julie also nodded amiably to agree.

Although these two old actors just met today, in order to establish the relationship between each other, they have taken the initiative to sit together and even started to develop some emotional tacit understanding, which made Li Xiaole admire him very much.
