569. Chapter 569 Scene 569 Stallone Jumps
After this thought came to mind at the same time, Li Xiaole and Wagner understood it and walked aside.
"What do you think?" Wagner asked Li Xiaole softly.
"I think Obadai Stein must be played by him, and we can cast his movies and let Stallone join our company is definitely a good thing for our company." Li Xiaole lowered his voice and said his own
view.
"Are you sure you want to invest in his movie..." Wagner was a little surprised. Although Stallone's "Rocky 6" was very successful last year, he was already 60 years old after all. According to Stallone as long as he is a screenwriter, he must be the protagonist himself.
Inertia, he must have starred in the movie he was investing in. The 60-year-old male lead... This is really too risky. After 2000, Stallone's box office appeal was much worse than before, and he was no longer as brave as he was.
"Don't worry, I have a Chinese background. Stallone's movies can be released in China. With his popularity in China, it's completely fine to recover the cost." Li Xiaole shook the bangs on his forehead with his hand.
What is the movie Stallone came to invest in? He knew it in his heart. Of course, it was the old-fashioned "The Expendables" with a plot. It was Stallone's long-cherished wish to gather old action stars to shoot this movie. For this movie, he has been holding the script since 2003.
I started to go to major production companies, but no company approved it for so many years.
It's very simple to be willing. The plot of this story is old-fashioned and has no new ideas, and the production fee is not low. What's more, Stallone is the starring actor. Anyone thinks that this "Supernauthorities" will not make money, if it weren't for the end
Lionsgate received a good response from "The First Blood 4". It felt that veteran action stars still had a certain box office appeal and would not risk investing in this movie.
No one expected that this movie, which invested 70 million US dollars, ended up with a global box office of over 200 million US dollars. A bunch of outdated action stars gathered together, and they were no worse than those popular sissy handsome guys.
But now no one can expect this result... Wagner is the same, so Li Xiaole just used the excuse of the Chinese market to convince her.
"That's good, then I have a way." Wagner knew that the company would not lose money because of taking over Stallone's show, so he breathed a sigh of relief and instructed Li Xiaole:
"That's it~ Lee~ I'll leave everything to me. You'd better not say a word. As long as Stallone mentions that he wants to shoot his new film, you'll look impatient."
"Just let me show off?" Li Xiaole touched his face and found it funny. Wagner, a woman like steel, was going to play to her gold medal agent's level.
"Silvester has a weird temper. If you don't show a tough attitude to suppress him, I'm afraid that his supporting role will have more ideas than you, the director." Wagner sighed, obviously knowing Stallone very well.
Li Xiaole also looked at him from afar, touching Tom Cruise's head and laughing, and recalling the information of this legendary actor. It is different from the image of a tough guy in everyone's impression. This muscular action star, in fact,
He is an absolute talent...
When this superstar was born, because his mother was dying, the doctor misused the maternity forceps to help him, causing his left cheek to paralyze, his left eyelid and left lip to sag, and his mouth was unclear. Originally, this was almost the same as innate for the actor.
Disabled.
However, Stallone did not want to be a physical education teacher since childhood. He only wanted to be an actor. At first, no crew wanted this actor with facial paralysis, so Stallone simply learned to write scripts by himself. During that time, he was in the daytime.
Clean lion cages for the zoo, give pizza, help others fish, help people take care of book stalls in bookstores, work as a captain in cinemas, sweep the toilet, and study scripts at night.
He handed out the script, and was rejected, and then handed out the script and was rejected again. After several years of repeated interactions, according to his mother's memories, Stallone was always 1,375 times during this period...
In the end, he got a chance. Stallone exchanged the script "Rocky" he wrote for a protagonist. "Rocky" box office exceeded 225 million US dollars and won the Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director.
Stallone was also nominated for Best Actor and Best Screenwriter…
Stallone himself later directed the four subsequent episodes of the "Rocky" series, almost all of which were outstanding.
This is a real grassroots legend. Almost all actors in the United States know this story. Nowadays, many actors working hard at the bottom of Hollywood will post a poster of "Rocky" in their apartment rooms to inspire the low tide.
In his studies, Chen Anzhi, a master of Chinese success theory, often uses Stallone's story as a classic joke he trains.
Faced with such a Hollywood legend, it is indeed not easy to make him play a villain for himself. If you accidentally make him lose control, the situation in "Yihai Xiongfeng" will occur, and the audience will forget after watching it.
If the protagonist remembers the result of the supporting role, it will be quite a failure for a movie.
"Okay, just follow your way." Li Xiaole nodded and asked Wagner to let go.
"Sylvester~Okay~ Let's show our boss your script." Wagner walked over and pulled Stallone's arm over.
"Mr. Li, right?~ Take it and read it." Stallone handed over the heavy storyboard script of "The Expendables" that was printed, and glared at Li Xiaole with his drooping eyes, as if he was looking at it, but it seemed that he looked at it.
It's a bit like a threat. This legendary actor who has played Rocky, Rambo, who can overwhelm a brilliant actor like Tom Cruise, gives people a huge sense of oppression.
Li Xiaole even felt that if he didn't agree to him, would he take out the machine gun and collapse himself directly...?
"Do you want me to introduce it to you?" Stallone looked at Li Xiaole with disinterested look and said in that vague tone:
"Although this story has nothing new, the lines and characters are described very carefully. Just ask the right actor to perform..."
Wagner also said in a "kind" voice: "Boss, Sylvester is my friend, he is really talented..."
"Wait, wait until I finish reading this information." Li Xiaole didn't even look back, and looked at the script in his hand focused on making the big brand Stallone look embarrassed.
Seeing Li Xiaole's cold face, Wagner smiled in his heart, but he was afraid that Li Xiaole would not be able to master the heat well, so he really made Stallone run away, so he could only wink at Li Xiaole and make him almost the same.
But Li Xiaole still didn't look back, but his face became more impatient. He took out a pen and drew something on the A4 paper used for office. Wagner gave Stallone a "helpless" look and looked at Stallone.
His face was embarrassed, which made Tom Cruise next to him feel relieved.
The silence in the office lasted for half an hour. Stallone kept urging him quietly, and Wagner signaled him to wait calmly and not to be anxious, because the boss Li Xiaole has a very bad temper.
"Silvester, you know just now that we are shooting Iron Man now and can't find a suitable candidate. Please help me see if you have any friends for you?" Seeing that the time is almost done, Wagner also puts his laptop computer.
He handed it over and asked him to see the information about the role of Obadai Stein.
Stallone was obviously not very interested, but after a closer look, they actually rejected so many top actors. When he saw that the actor's requirements seemed to be very consistent with him, he looked at Li Xiaole's impatient look and felt a curve in his heart.
The thought of saving the country looked at Wagner and said:
"Wagner, can I play this role?"
Sure enough, he took the bait~ Wagner smiled in his heart, and indeed Stallone was still so persistent that he would never give up until he achieved his goal. Now it is time to let Li Xiaole come forward...
Wagner was turning his head and signaling to Li Xiaole, but unexpectedly he heard a "hiss~". Li Xiaole actually tore off a lot of pages from the storyboard script that was Stallone, and even directly scrolled in front of Stallone.
It turned into a paper ball and threw it directly into the trash can next to the desk!
"What are you doing?" After a brief moment of stunned gaze, Stallone suddenly bounced off the bench, stared at Li Xiaole with anger and rushed to Li Xiaole in front of him in a low voice, questioning him in a low voice, his angry look was like
The extremely crazy lion seemed to be about to swallow Li Xiaole on the spot, scaring Tom Cruise and Wagner silly...
"Because the fighting action design on those pages is too bad and it is all garbage, so I'll throw it away for you." Li Xiaole said as if he were taken for granted. He looked disgusted on his face when he thought of those action design drafts.
"Is my movement design trash?" Stallone laughed out loud, but with his muscle-paralyzing cheeks, it made people feel even more ferocious.
"Yes." Li Xiaole also stood up slowly and looked at him calmly and said, "The fight between the Chinese Ying Yang and Jeff inside was too simple to design, and Ying Yang's moves were impossible, so Ying Yang could not have been possible at all.
Will lose that big guy Jeff." When watching the original "Superior Squad", Li Xiaole felt incredible about this design. Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie lost to the big guy Dorph Longer in his 50s... This is too unreasonable to lose his composure
, is it just to create a powerful image of the rebels?
This is impossible, both as reality and on-screen image. Li Lianjie is not like Chen Long's style. He is a real martial arts champion and is hailed as a martial arts genius by the traditional martial arts world in China. Although Dorph Longer is also a fighter
