Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star - Chapter 979

[Chapter 969]

The lunch location was personally chosen by Micheal. In a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, He Lushen said that this restaurant is particularly difficult to make reservations, and he has only been here twice.

The focus of this meal was on discussions rather than meals, but it was enough to see Micheal’s sincerity in wishing to cooperate with Liu Man.

Liu Man and He Lushen arrived earlier, and they waited for about half an hour before Micheal came.

As soon as he saw Liu Man, he smiled, “I’m very happy, we meet again.”

From Micheal’s eyes, it’s not hard to see that he likes Liu Man. He Lushen felt that he had to take Liu Man by himself last time. I brought it over, I am afraid I want to take the opportunity to see if Liu Man is worthy of the name, which is equivalent to interviewing her.

Luckily, Liu Man passed the interview, so he had today’s dinner.

“Thank you for giving me this opportunity,” Liu Man first expressed her gratitude. No matter whether she can successfully participate in the “Future Hero” crew or not, she would like to thank Micheal for her appreciation.

“You don’t have to be in a hurry to say thank you, after all, we haven’t officially cooperated, right?” Micheal laughed, “I’ll treat you to this meal today, and when you sign up for the “Future Heroes 5″ crew, you’ll invite me to dinner, like this Thank you is sincere.”

Indeed, it is too early to say anything.

The three of them were seated. Liu Man and He Lushen had already ordered their dishes in advance. Micheal only ordered his own. He added another bottle of wine. When the waiter took away the menu and left, Micheal took a sip on the table. He asked Liu Man, “First of all, I want to confirm your own wishes, do you want to act?”

Liu Man nodded, “If you don’t want to, I won’t ask you to meet today.”

“That’s good, I don’t want you to agree to it for the sake of face and favor…” Micheal said here, and glanced at He Lushen, in his opinion, He Lushen is Liu Man’s “boss” , Liu Man had to obey his orders, “What do you not understand about appearing in our movie? Or do you have any other requirements? I want to hear your opinion first.” Man, if she and He Lushen had discussed privately, then she would definitely ask for more screenings of “Autumn Moon in the Han Palace”.

Liu Manke didn’t think in this direction at all. She remembered what He Lushen said to her last night, and she asked Micheal, “How long can I have a shot?”

This is a common question and one that all actors will care about. Micheal replied, “It’s about five minutes. There may be adjustments during the specific shooting. It’s up to the director to decide. I can’t guarantee the ticket.”

Sure enough, He Lushen said it well,

a five-minute role, a total of a few With only a few scenes and a few lines, Liu Man made a movie for the first time, and he also had five minutes of appearance time in “Listen, The Voice of the Wind”.

Selecting unknown actors, both at home and abroad, investors and directors are the same conservative style.

Liu Man doesn’t think five minutes is too short, but she has other concerns, “If I participate in the filming, will the final release version of the Chinese version be the same as the global version? Will my footage be deleted in the global version? ”

As soon as these words came out, Micheal and He Lushen were stunned.

He Lushen immediately gave Liu Man a wink, God, how could she take the discrimination and differential treatment he told her privately to the public? Her EQ shouldn’t be so low!

“The theory is the same, but in actual operation, there may be differences according to the different market needs and national conditions of various countries, and appropriate deletions are made – but not necessarily, the film has not yet started shooting, everything is unknown,” Micheal still gave an ambiguous answer. He didn’t understand why Liu Man cared about this kind of thing. For many Chinese actors he and his colleagues had contacted with, the issues they were most concerned about were usually the strength of publicity and exposure, as long as the version screened in China It’s enough to have their own role, they don’t even care how much the film is paid, they would rather pay for it just for one shot.

Liu Man had a different idea. She asked about the salary again. Micheal said it was $600,000, which was about the same as Liu Man’s salary for playing a supporting role in China. He Lushen should not have told him this price. It is estimated that they are in the Chinese entertainment industry. With eyeliner, they know exactly which actor is paid how much.

“If you think there is no problem, we will sign the contract as soon as possible. After signing the contract, I will send you the script. After you return to China, you can prepare in advance.” Micheal is not in a hurry, he just wants to solve this matter quickly, he There is a lot of work, and I can’t always spend time on it.

He thought he gave Liu Man enough preferential treatment, and Liu Man must have been impatient to agree.

However, she looked at Micheal and said word by word, “You can sign a contract, but I have one condition, you have to guarantee that the final version of the movie will be the same globally, even if you can’t guarantee the global version, the American version and the Chinese version must be the same. Yes

.”

He Lushen was taken aback, he didn’t care about etiquette and avoidance of suspicion, he pulled Liu Man and whispered, “How can you make such an excessive request!” He Lushen felt that this request It would be better to reject Micheal directly, Liu Man used it as a bargaining chip, not humiliating herself, but humiliating Micheal!

Liu Man was unmoved, staring into Micheal’s eyes, insisting on his own terms.

Now it was originally in the negotiation stage, and she had the right to fight for her own interests.

She has her own self-esteem and bottom line. She takes the scenes honestly and earnestly.

Do foreign moviegoers hate her face so much?

Since he knew that others discriminated against him, he still sent it to him, just for the sake of $600,000 and the vain title of “participating in a Hollywood blockbuster movie”, no need!

She doesn’t have to go to Hollywood.

Micheal looked at her, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he quickly resumed his smile, but the smile faded a lot.

In fact, other shareholders of Mike Pictures believe that it makes no difference who they choose to play this Asian role, Koreans, Japanese, Vietnamese… Anyway, it is just a small supporting role, the role is all for the protagonist, and finally In order to save the protagonist and hang up, the American audience will not care much.

The reasons why Micheal recommended Liu Man to them are: first, he recognizes Liu Man’s acting skills; second, “Princess of the Han Dynasty” was very popular abroad during this period, and the topic was strong enough; third, he wanted to rely on Liu Man to make money in China people’s box office.

But no matter how many reasons, it is not necessary for him to be Liu Man. There are many substitutes behind Liu Man.

At this time, Liu Man made such a condition, which disappointed him. In order to let Liu Man take the position, he persuaded several opponents, including Ron Newell, the director of the “Future Hero” series.

Ron was so opposed to having a Chinese influencer in his film that he got into a heated argument with Micheal.

As far as Liu Man’s request is concerned, Micheal definitely can’t meet it, because film editing is a director-led job, and he can be sure that Ron will delete Liu Man’s role from the global version.
