254: The laughing craftsman comes out and gets you
After contacting Huang Bo, Li Donglai answered the phone call from his new friend Tyson who had drunk alcohol and punched each other. "Friend, call me, do you want to have a drink? If I remember correctly, you should be preparing for a new movie now." Tyson's cheerful voice came from the opposite side.
"Yes, my friend. I'm a little busy lately, but I'm going to Las Vegas. I think I can treat you a drink this time." "That's a good place and my territory. I'm waiting for you to come and treat me."
"Haha, it must be. But my friend, I want to invite you to make a guest appearance in my new movie this time. Are you interested?"
"Oh, of course I'm interested!" Tyson on the other side of the phone always seemed so cheerful. He laughed a few times and said in a rough voice: "I like acting. When I can't punch one day, I might consider being an actor or a director. You know I have experience in making guest appearances in good movies, and my acting skills are great."
"Haha, if this is the case, boxing fans around the world will go crazy, and you will definitely rob my job."
"Well, I feel so too. Hahaha." As he said that, Tyson laughed himself, and then asked excitedly: "Tell me, man. What role do you want me to play, a boxer, to fight you? That would be a good idea."
"Nono, this time it's a comedy. Your role is to play yourself, Tyson, a celebrity, and there is no scene of fighting with me. But maybe you'll punch me in the movie."
"No problem, my acting skills are very good. Call me then and we will practice boxing together."
Li Donglai smiled and said, "Okay! That's all, I'll ask you to have a drink when the time comes." The two of them chatted for a while and decided on the guest appearance, and then ended the call.
After that, the role of the prostitute and girl was very outstanding. Li Donglai thought about it for a long time, looked through his phone number book over and over again, and kept flipping through the list of actors' union, and finally found someone who once thought it was very suitable and had a relationship with him.
"She has no news recently, so she probably has no schedule. Maybe she can give it a try." But using this guest appearance seems too high, "I later played a guest appearance as a prostitute. Girl with Oscar movies? Don't be too extravagant."
Unexpectedly, after calling to explain the situation, the other party readily agreed to try it. He did not despise him because he was a prostitute or a female character.
In fact, the beautiful Oscar winner was also surprised. Her screen image is very serious and heavy most of the time, because she has starred in too many dark movies on the theme. Comedy? She has always wanted to try it. Although she is a small role this time, she just happened to have time and hit it off.
After dealing with this beautiful actress, Li Donglai's confidence increased greatly. Because American movies have a rule, Hollywood stipulates that black actors must appear in every local movie, otherwise it will be very troublesome. He happened to have a black character who has not yet been settled. There are four or five shots of this character, and a few lines. If you find someone to make a guest appearance, it should not be too difficult.
I met Will Smith at the MTV Movie Awards ceremony some time ago, and exchanged phone numbers by the way. It happened to be used. Li Donglai immediately dialed Will's number, and as soon as it was connected there, he said enthusiastically: "Hi, Li Donglai, hello."
After saying hello, Li Donglai said his intention: "Will, I'm recently preparing to shoot a comedy movie. This is my second movie. Maybe it can't achieve the box office miracle, but it must be fun. I want to invite you to come and play a guest role."
"no problem!"
Will Smith agreed happily, and he asked with a smile: "Although it's a bit surprising, people think you're shooting an action movie, but they didn't expect it to be a comedy movie. But I like comedy movies, what kind of character is that?"
Li Donglai was very grateful for Will's readily agree and smiled: "Ha, this is a small character, only a few minutes of scenes. He is an unlucky little drug dealer, but he can speak like a machine gun, and he can't stop and his mouth is clear like a rapper. I remember you have worked as a singer before, and it may be very suitable."
"Hey, boy, that character is me, I'm very sure. Yoyo, Chek Nao. He speaks like a machine gun, yes, that's me." This character is simply a portrayal of Will. He must have Li Donglai explain it, and the image in his mind is very clear. He smiled and said, "When will I need to start work? You know, Jaden likes you very much, maybe he can take him with him at that time?"
"Of course, I welcome Jaden to visit. But filming is not that fast, I will call you in advance by then."
...
The actor preparations have officially ended and the staff have been in place.
The work of forming the crew and preparing props was also done very quickly. Sean and Li Donglai's cooperation became more and more tacit, and they have always done a great job. They were responsible for the crew and the company's affairs, and An Shuzhen helped to manage them.
Li Donglai is no longer a commander-in-law, and now he has a bunch of people to help. There is no need to be as busy as he did in the first drama.
The previous movie created a huge gap of more than 100 times, making people have certain expectations for his new movie.
This is what Hollywood is like. During the period when a popular movie was released, several beneficiaries will definitely be popular. After a while, if there are no other achievements, they will quickly become ordinary. But during this period, he will definitely still be very concerned.
But with the same question, whether his new movie will continue the miracle and whether it will be a flash in the pan, these are still to be verified. Countless pairs of eyes are staring at him, ready to watch the show.
As most people think, when Phantom announces that it will start shooting a new movie, the first thing people think of is action movies. This is in line with Li Donglai's image.
At the press conference, Li Donglai appeared with a group of new-faced actors, five strange ones, wearing uniform black suits, white shirts, ties, and black leather boots. However, the pants seemed to be shorter, and socks were always worn under their feet.
Except for Li Donglai and Justin Barcelona who are handsome guys, there is nothing strange about wearing this outfit. But with Zach, Ed and Huang Bo, the five of them dressed up like this, which looks quite funny.
The press conference of the movie "Hangover". The original name was originally decided by "The Real Man After Drunk", but the name does not fit the American style. After several discussions, it was changed to the more concise "Hangover" by Li Donglai.
Under the billboard with the huge movie name written by "Hangover", five strange flowers each made funny moves to let the reporter take photos. Crack, Crack. There were as many as hundreds of reporters at the press conference, and the flashlight flashed.
All five of them had bright smiles on their faces, looked at the camera, and occasionally made funny expressions and murdered countless films.
Zach, with a messy hair and a thick and long bearded face, stared at his eyes, and was very lying on his waist with one hand on his waist, and stretched out his big belly that was holding up the white shirt.
Ed Helms widened his eyes, opened his mouth in surprise, and his eyebrows stood up.
The handsome guy Justin Barcelona scratched his head and scratched his head with a distressed expression, as if he didn't know how to make fun of it. But this expression was already made fun of it.
Huang Bo combed a small braided head, and was uniquely dressed in trousers. He picked up the legs with one hand, his body was slightly sideways, and his smile was quite bright, which looked like Chaplin's poss. He liked this braided outfit very much and decided that every award ceremony he could attend in the future would have a hair shape like this. (Golden Horse Awards Style, gaga)
