On March 25, Zhao Donghuai left behind Azhen and Zhang Min, who were full of knowledge, and flew to Zhao's Film by helicopter from the Financial Building.

When he walked down the sixth floor from the Zhao Film Studio rooftop, he saw a white man in his 30s waiting in the living room.

Director Zhao was overjoyed and smiled and reached out, "Welcome to Hong Kong Island, Mr. Robert."

This white man in his thirties is the director of the original (Forrest Gump). Don’t think that many years ago, Robert does not have that kind of directorial strength. This guy himself is the director last year (back to the future).

Back to the Future was one of the most top-notch film works in the world in 1985.

Until the next 2019, the media will count the highest-grossing directors in the world, with the first place being Steven Spielberg, James Cameron ranked sixth, Christopher Nolan ranked eighth, and Robert ranked tenth.

Since Robert entered the industry, he has been very capable of exploding the box office. After thinking about it, Zhao Donghuai still wants to ask the original director to try it out.

After the two of them had a polite conversation, they entered the office and read the script.

After waiting for more than an hour, Robert closed the script and exclaimed, "The script is very strong. If it is done well, it will definitely be a masterpiece that wins the awards, and there is no hope at the box office."

"This book is so inspirational!"

"As long as the pay is fine, I will accept this book. However, Zhao, you are also a top-notch director in the world. Whether it is super-physical or human-ghost relationship, you are all excellent enough. Why don't you direct it yourself??"

Zhao Donghuai smiled and asked his work secretary to hand him two cups of tea, took a sip and sighed, "There is nothing I can do. If I go to North America to direct, I may be shot and shot every day."

"It's better to stay in Hong Kong Island and wait for the finished product."

Robert's smile gradually became funny. What does it mean to be shot and shot every day? Did he hear it wrong or understand it wrong?

After tens of seconds of silence, Robert curiously said, "What is the budget for this movie?"

Zhao Donghuai continued, "It's $20 million."

Robert was ecstatic, "20 million US dollars is enough to shoot a blockbuster movie, what about the male lead? The starring film pay must be set, and you can't get too much from the budget."

The return to the future, which he directed last year, was only $19 million, and as for the 1994 version of Forrest Gump, the cost was $55 million? That was the protagonist Tom Hanks, so he left too much money.

Tom Hanks earned $40 million with a Forrest Gump movie. Of course, this is a bonus of pay. In the 1990s, the top Hollywood male stars all had a bonus of $15 million or $20 million, with a bonus of 15% or 20% of the dividends.

There are also the US dollar in 1986 and 1994, which are also different. Just say that the Japanese yen appreciation is... The sign of the other side of the Japanese yen appreciation is the depreciation of the US dollar.

The daily yen appreciation has doubled in a few years, which is equivalent to a double depreciation for the US dollar!

Zhao Donghuai laughed, "The protagonist is Leslie or John Long from our Hong Kong Island. Do you know? There are two alternatives, and you probably won't be impressed if you say it."

Robert suddenly realized, "Is Leslie? His acting skills are good in the future. His influence in the music industry is stronger. It will be a weapon to attract box office."

"As for John, his Year of the Dragon is simply one of the most handsome Black Gang bosses. I really have an impression of it, but his pay is much cheaper than Leslie!"

In fact, Zunlong’s real big hit was after the release of the film in 1987 (the last emperor), and the movie won various awards and pushed Zunlong’s fame to the peak. Then... it was confused and was cheated, and gradually became unknown.

But last year he also nominated for the Golden Globe Awards for Best Supporting Actor (Year of the Dragon). He is definitely a rare type of person in the Chinese circle who has made a name for himself in Hollywood with the help of plot crime movies.

The world without worries, from Bruce Lee to Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, etc., all of them enter Hollywood by relying on action movies. Ah Fa seems to have reached the peak in Hong Kong Island, but he still has various villains and supporting roles when he goes to North America, and his popularity is not very high.

In the world of cheating, Zhao Donghuai pushed Hong Kong stars into North America one by one, and almost all plagiarism and action movies were used to open the way.

Zunlong is really an exception... In fact, Chinese people understand the treatment situation in North America and Hollywood.

If it weren't for the identity restrictions, his (Year of the Dragon) might not be nominated for the Golden Globe Awards for Best Supporting Role. It's not bad to say that he is the big male lead, and nominating for an actor is not worth it.

In film and television works, are there too few gangsters or fierce villains nominated for actors? Liang Jiahui also used Johnny Cheung's 1 gang nomination to win the Golden Horse Award for Actors.

This is why Zhao Donghuai said that Zunlong's current acting skills are not much worse than Zhou Runfa or Wan Ziliang. If he were a white man, he would have been the best actor and queen.

Then Robert smiled again, "Where is the heroine?"

When Robert was overjoyed when he heard the name of Isabel Adjani, "Of course, this French Rose has nothing to say about his acting skills."

The book is good enough, the protagonist's acting skills are online, and with abundant shooting funds, Robert feels that this movie (Forrest Gump) is still very interesting. After all, he also knows that although Zhao Donghuai is a Hong Kong filmmaker, he can go beyond Hollywood and directly cooperate with AMC to promote and promote.

This is enough, he just needs to do his best to do his job as a director.

As for the Asian male lead to be the absolute male lead in Hollywood blockbusters? Robert doesn't care about this, after all, it was agreed upon by the investment.

Thinking about the filming in order to prepare for filming (back to the future), he and his friends were bothered with Hollywood from 1980 and were officially launched at the end of 1984 and were released in 1985.

Of course, with the 19 million production cost back to the future, the total production cost is 19 million US dollars, and the world's most popular record is nearly 400 million US dollars. Robert's status is soaring. If he wants to direct a new film, countless large groups have already followed him to pay for it, and the treatment is completely different.

But he still wants to make good movies. Only good movies with excellent standards are worth his work, because he knows that the director will be hit by a big hit. Once the new work fails, he will return to the period of no one's interest when he misses two or three times.
