After this face-to-face conversation between Fan Zhe and Du Zhengde, a few days later, Du Zhengde's own agency team negotiated his film appointment with Weidu Entertainment.

Du Zhengde will serve as the chief director of "Master of Martial Arts: War" and participate in the project establishment work.

At the same time, some of the main actors in the movie have basically been decided.

Since the movie project follows the TV series, many characters, Weidu Entertainment, do not intend to change. For example, the protagonist Lou Cheng and the heroine Yan Zheke will definitely still let Chen Yu and Wu Na play it. For example, Lin Que will also let Chen Weiting play it.

But there are also some characters who have not appeared in the TV series "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts", most of which are villains.

These need to be recruited from outside.

The villain is not something that is not important. On the contrary, action movies like "Master of Martial Arts: War" will always have a final boss to be defeated. If this final boss is done well or not, it is definitely one of the key factors that can affect the final performance of the movie.

No one likes to watch the protagonist for a long time, but just beat him up.

At the same time, in today's commercial movies, more and more trends have proved that creating a villain with enough charm is definitely a plus.

In the original work, the final boss in the plot of "Master of Martial Arts: War" is called "No. 18", who is the head of the artificial human transformation laboratory. He is a top "terror level" powerful man. After the artificial experiment achieved good success, in order to make his strength higher, he transformed himself and became very powerful. But because of this, his personality has changed a little. He doesn't like to use his real name, and began to prefer to use the code name "No. 18" to call himself.

He is indeed the product that transforms the 18th generation of man.

In the original novel, this human-experimental criminal group has the shadow of some countries such as the United States and Japan. However, writing novels like this may have some policy risks, let alone movies.

If "Master of Martial Arts: War" wants to be released successfully, these contents that may touch politically sensitive risks will definitely not be touched. The power of the river crab beast is above everything else.

What's more, the ambition of the movie Dimension Entertainment is not only limited to the domestic market.

This movie will inevitably follow the global release.

In fact, the TV series itself has already had a certain influence worldwide.

If you want to make money in the Japanese market and North American market, of course you can't blind people.

Therefore, in the movie script, the background of this villain is simply treated as an international criminal group and does not have any relationship with politics.

This is safer.

Regarding the actor of the big boss of the 18th, Weidu Entertainment was already contacting some Hollywood European and American stars when preparing for the project two months ago.

In the original work, this character is a foreigner.

Of course, when making movies, there is no problem with Chinese people. However, considering that movies should be released globally, and the European and American markets are also very important, it is actually more appropriate to find a white actor in the choice of this important role.

Not only did he want to find a white actor, Fan Zhe also went further to invite a more famous movie star.

The staff of "Dimension America" ​​have been in contact with many more suitable stars in this month.

The arrogant Hollywood does not look down on a movie in Far East China, and most of the contact work ended in failure.

However, in the end they found a more suitable actor.

Henry Cavill.

He plays the role of Superman in several DC movies.

"Superman: Man of Steel", "Batman vs. Superman", "Justice League"...

In addition to this most famous superman character, Van Zhe appreciates his performance in a movie, "The Secret Agent", and the image of a very gentleman agent, and he does a good job. By the way, Van Zhe also likes the movie "The Secret Agent". The movie itself has a good reputation, but I don't know why it's not very popular. By the way, Van Zhe is also looking forward to the witcher TV series adapted from "The Witcher", and he looks forward to seeing the "White Wolf" Geralt on the screen and the sexy Yennefa.

Back to the point, Henry Cavill looks like a very standard British handsome guy, tall and handsome, especially after wearing a suit, he has the temperament of a British gentleman.

In Hollywood, he is not actually a serious first-line movie star. Most of his fame was brought to him by Superman, and in addition to Superman, although there are some other characters, from the TV series "The Tudors" to the movie "The Secret Agents"..., none of them could make him really popular.

In fact, the real commercial value of such stars who became popular through superhero movies needs to be questioned.

In the current film market, especially the rogue, the stars adapted from superheroes are actually relatively valuable. Except for Iron Man who has given special souls by Robert Downey Jr., some other superheroes may have a certain impact if they are played by actors, but they will not be too big.

On the contrary, the quality of the movie itself, the name of superheroes, and even the appeal of Marvel or DC... these may be relatively more important.

Imagine if Superman and Captain America's actors were swapped from the beginning, it seemed nothing.

For Henry Cavill, apart from Superman, he seems to have no particularly good works.

If he plays Superman, his salary will definitely be awful. But it is not the case if he plays other roles.

Of course, no matter what, he is also a Hollywood movie star. The influence of Dimension Entertainment is nothing for Hollywood - at least for now.

So, if you want to impress him to play the final villain of "Master of Martial Arts: War", you must still give certain results in your film pay.

The pay offered to him by Weidu Entertainment reached 10 million US dollars.

There are some rumors on the Internet that he paid $14 million in Superman films, which is completely nonsense. His actual films were less than zero in price than 14 million in Superman. He only had $400,000 per episode, and only eight episodes in total.

The price given by Weidu Entertainment is already quite good.

This is true. This money touched Henry Cavill and his agency team took over this job from the Far East.
