Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 374 Party Decorations

The night breeze blows.

The light nets pulled above the heads of several people were blown in the wind, and the light fell on Stephanie. She told her story very attentively and seriously, and her voice was very infectious.

She doesn't have as many ideas as Wick.

What builds psychological advantage, what uses Hollywood's fame to attract the other party.

Never thought about it.

Women's thoughts are simple.

She simply wanted to make her work well and make it even better. In her opinion, Li Luo was someone who could help the film become even better, so she decided to use sincerity to impress the other party.

The best way to attract good actors is to tell a good story.

to this end.

She made the best use of those few minutes.

Tell your story well.

Wick quickly understood Stephanie's thoughts. He sipped his champagne and did not interfere. This trick really worked for some actors. If it didn't work, he could just take action himself.

Listening to the story from the woman's mouth, Li Luo drank in silence.

Neither of them noticed.

He drank a little faster than before.

This is a sign of a confused mind.

Li Luo didn't react at first, but as the other party told him about Isabella returning to her father, meeting the vampire Edward in a small town school, and having a childhood playmate Jacob.

He realized what the other party meant by twilight.

There is another famous name here.

"Twilight"!
An early Mary Sue, brainless, clichéd idol fantasy romance movie. I watched this series of movies with my girlfriend. I didn't think the male lead's ugly face was handsome at all.

Well, Twilight Girl is pretty good.

And the beautiful girls in it are the reason why he can keep watching.

In his mind, this movie is undoubtedly a terrible one.

But it cannot be denied.

Twilight is definitely a commercial success.

Whether it is TV or movies, the criterion for judging the success or failure of a work is a very simple one within the Hollywood film and television system: whether there is a sequel!

The longer a TV series is renewed, the more sequels are filmed.

It means more money.

American TV series include long-running series such as "Friends", "Supernatural", and "Grey's Anatomy" which have been filmed for more than ten years, as well as movies with many sequels such as the "Mission Impossible" series and the "Family Man" series.

If you can't make a little money.

sequel.

It is impossible to open.

No matter what the word of mouth is, the most important thing for the producers is whether the film can sell well.

If it is a huge loss.

No matter how much you hype up a movie, the producers will not have the urge to invest money in it. It is rumored that Du Wenzhe and Liu Dehua fell out because the former wanted to shoot a sequel to "Isabella".

But that movie had basically no chance of making money, so after careful consideration, the latter decided to refuse.

Du Wen Ze held a grudge against him because of this.

This shows what it means for a movie to be able to have a sequel.

The Twilight series has five films in total, and my impression is that the total box office of the films even exceeded 2 billion US dollars, which is an extremely astonishing number in Hollywood.

Don’t worry about whether the reputation is bad or not.

At least commercially, it is extremely successful!
Being able to star in this series of movies is undoubtedly a huge benefit for breaking into Hollywood. At the very least, several of the leading actors in the original work have become popular in the eyes of film producers.

The pay that the three leading actors earned from it was also an astronomical figure.

"Gudu."

Li Luo swallowed a mouthful of champagne.

Unexpectedly, this is the movie that came to me.

bad movie.

He doesn't care at all.

A good movie is one that can make money for you.

Bad reputation.

It doesn't really matter.

A bad plot does not mean that the acting is bad. The huge number of fans gained from fan movies is enough to support him to continue struggling in Hollywood. This is a benefit that others can't even ask for.

The thought of turning down the other party's invitation just now disappeared in an instant.

If only he wasn't cunning enough.

He could no longer contain his excitement.

"That's it."

Just a few minutes passed quickly. Stephanie took a sip of champagne to moisten her throat and looked at Li Luo with anticipation.

"Ah."

Nodding slowly, Li Luo asked knowingly, "So who do you want me to play?"

"Werewolf."

Wick said without thinking:
"Jacob Black."

Li Luo guessed right.

There was no way that the white male protagonist’s role could be given to me.

He was not dissatisfied with not being able to play the leading role. To put it bluntly, this was a movie for fans, and of course they tried their best to select the actors based on the novel. He was already very satisfied with having a second male lead!

Even if it's not a fan-oriented movie.

The role of the leading actor will not be considered for foreigners at will.

In fact, it is generally difficult for non-local actors to play a charming role like the second male lead.

In other words, the producer is not a big studio.

Otherwise, even this kind of character would never be looked at straight in the eye.

"Ah."

Li Luo nodded again, and then hesitantly said, "I just heard from Ms. Medin that in Twilight, Jacob Black didn't seem to have many scenes. He was just a minor supporting role?"

The opportunity is a good one, but you can't just agree to it.

Don't find fault with anything.

How can you make requests later?
Hearing this, Wick and Stephanie looked at each other.

good news.

The other party listened to the story.

bad news.

Listen so carefully!

He just starred in a highly acclaimed action movie and was also the producer, and now he is asked to play a supporting role with not much screen time.

Even if you have the Hollywood halo.

Wick also felt weak.

"Is such that."

The two exchanged glances, and Wick quickly explained: "The adapted script is mainly developed around Edward and Isabella. After all, the main storyline needs to be strengthened."

"I'm sure you can understand this."

"And Jacob is not an insignificant character. He plays a very important role in the subsequent sequels."

Under Li Luo's playful gaze, he is as strong as a person in terms of mental strength.

I couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

This is pure wishful thinking!
This is also the area where Stephanie and he are most unsure. No matter how much they talk, there is really not much of a role for them in the current script, even if their role will be increased in the sequel.

But the bigger truth is that this promise is just a mirage.

If the movie doesn’t do well at that time.

The so-called sequel.

It's just empty talk!
"Let's do this~"

Seeing that the two were thinking about what to say, Li Luo simply tapped his watch and said, "I am indeed very interested in Ms. Meier's story, but now is not the time to talk."

"Tomorrow afternoon."

"Let's find a place to have lunch at noon and have a good chat."

"If it's convenient for you, how about printing out a copy of the script for me tomorrow so I can take a closer look?"

After hearing this, both Wick and Stephanie showed joy.

He immediately nodded and agreed.

To them.

As long as you show interest, you can continue to find ways to make further contact.

For Li Luo.

Let's whet their appetite first.

Although they show interest, this interest is not so great that they will agree immediately. This subconsciously forces them to raise the conditions or make concessions in the subsequent negotiations.

The initiative is in your own hands, which is more important than anything else.

Exchange phone numbers.

Stephanie and Wick shook hands with Li Luo again to express their congratulations, and then they said goodbye and left in high spirits.

Although it is not the most ideal result, it is better than the other party's flat rejection.

It's worth all the hassle of coming all the way here to find out.

Looking at the backs of the two people.

Li Luo drank the champagne in one gulp with a smile. To be honest, being able to play the second male lead in "Twilight" was as effective as getting the role of Zhang Wuji in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

Even more effective!
For the first film, the pay is definitely not that high.

But later on, the film remuneration will be hundreds of millions of dollars, which adds up to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of RMB. It would be a waste not to make money from foreigners, so that you can own a big house abroad.

Buy a few more biubiubiu to play with.

Isn't it beautiful!

He strode towards Yu Dong and Huang Baiming with brisk steps, a bright smile on his face.

"How much is the offer?"

Huang Baiming saw that he looked so happy and couldn't wait to ask questions.

“Not the film company.”

Li Luo laughed and patted him and Yu Dong on the shoulders excitedly: "Pretend to be happy and put pressure on those guys. Don't stand by and play it safe with champagne in your hands."

Yu Dong was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.

Huang Baiming was also unambiguous.

The three foxes acted in a very convincing manner, which immediately made the film producers at the scene itchy. But before they could take any action, the two curious brothers of the Wang family came over.

After a few seconds, the two men also laughed excitedly.

Champagne for a few people.

They collided with each other crisply.

It looks like he is quite satisfied with the offer just now.

See this situation.

Immediately, some people couldn't hold back and came over with champagne glasses, smiling. A slight squeeze achieved the effect. Huang Baiming clinked his glass with Li Luo in appreciation and stood ready with the business staff and translator.

Whispers continued to be heard as wine glasses clinked.

One quotation after another.

They kept recording it in their notebooks.

The rich smell of money permeated the night, making the entire party even more flashy.

pier.

Li Luo bit his cigar and jumped onto the speedboat alone.

Although it was almost three o'clock in the morning, he was still in high spirits. The night wind blew his coat. He held the railing tightly and sailed quickly towards the bright lights of the Mediterranean Sea against the wind and waves.

His eyes were filled with excitement.

The reception has ended.

Hong Tianming returned to the hotel with his girlfriends on both sides and had a big party. Charmaine Sheh also wanted to do the same. She wanted to vent all her excitement of the day with her.

But faced with the reporters everywhere at the party, she had no choice but to give up.

About copyright.

The preliminary quotations have been compiled.

The total number has exceeded my psychological expectations, a total of 4.38 million US dollars!

The amount is calculated.

Several producers clinked their glasses excitedly.

Converted into RMB, this is a huge sum of more than 30 million yuan.

These are still small film producers.

The big players from North America and major European countries have not yet officially entered the market, and the situation is more optimistic than he imagined. Given the current situation, Huang Baiming has decided not to discuss the American market unless the price is less than 7 million US dollars.

Here, he gave Li Luo a little knowledge.

This is different from the rampant piracy in the mainland.

Since North America has relatively adequate control over relevant laws, the physical DVD rental and sales market is extremely large, and many movies that cannot be shown in theaters or that do not perform well in theaters can sell well offline.

For some types of movies, the offline market is even more popular than the online market.

Hong Kong's action movies are among them.

Even if the distributor cannot sell the film in theaters after buying it, if it can open up the physical DVD rental and sales market, it can still generate huge profits, and this profit will continue to come in year after year.

With the response of the offer of more than 4 million US dollars, Huang Baiming certainly dared to ask for the high price.

There is hope of making a profit.

The excited Wang Zhongjun pulled Li Luo to start the second half.

But he politely rejected it.

To be honest, Li Luo was quite interested in seeing Wahlberg's party. One cannot always stay in one's own circle. It is right to break out when there is a chance.

Amid the surging wind and waves, the speedboat quickly left the brightly lit seaside town.

With white waves floating on the water, it plunges into the night.

The sky is full of stars.

Large and small yachts are floating on the night-filled sea, and various late-night parties are being held on these yachts.

"Wow~~~"

A yacht whizzed by, and several screams came from it. Li Luo looked up while biting his cigar, and saw three blonde foreign girls holding champagne bottles, drunkenly greeting him. The way they greeted him was quite eye-catching.

The foreign girl was jumping and dancing in front of him, swaying in a way that made him feel relaxed and happy.

The engine roared.

As soon as the waves came up, it roared away.

In an instant, he forgot about the three pairs of big white bombs.

Withdrawing his gaze with regret, Li Luo looked forward with a smile on his face, biting his cigar. He had been in Cannes for several days, but this was his first time attending a late-night yacht party. It was impossible not to be excited.

After a while, we arrived at the destination of this trip.

The yacht in front of me.

Li Luo's eyes widened at this.

As expected of a Hollywood A-lister, not many people can pull off this feat.

A yacht about thirty or forty meters long was floating on the sea in front of us. The three-story luxury ship was brightly lit, and the fast-paced black rap music could be heard from afar. A grand party was taking place.

On the fore and aft decks.

Or inside the porthole where blurry neon lights are flashing.

Foreign girls in sexy bikinis, foreign girls in thongs, and even foreign girls wearing nothing at all appeared right in his eyes, and the whole world seemed to become clear at this moment.

"Hey!"

As the speed slowed down, Dillon's roar could be heard from the top of the yacht: "That man is coming!!!"

Hearing his shout, Walberg popped his head out, and when he saw it was Li Luo, he immediately waved excitedly: "Hey, Li, come up quickly, the girls are waiting impatiently!"

Made a gesture.

Li Luo smiled and leaped onto the rear deck.

"Feel sorry."

At the same time, a white man wearing only trousers hurriedly ran past him holding his clothes and jumped onto the speedboat in a hurry: "Go, go, don't go back the same way, avoid all the boats coming."

What was sent was not only words, but also a full hundred euros.

After the staff took the money, the guy hurriedly got into the speedboat.

He looked as if he was afraid of being seen by others.

The staff were also used to it and happily put the money into their pockets. Amid the laughter of Wahlberg and others above, they quickly turned the speedboat and sailed into the night.

I looked at it in confusion.

Li Luo then smiled and turned around and walked upstairs.

There were quite a lot of people on the boat, with more than 20 people on the first and second floors, most of them had big wavy blonde hair.

The men were basically the guys I saw outside the Cinema Palace just now.

of course.

There are also some that I don’t recognize.

"Hey, Lee!"

"Welcome to the party."

Seeing Li Luo appear, excited shouts continued to ring out.

The cabin was filled with a scene of decadence and extravagance, with swaying neon lights, green US dollars and colorful euros flying everywhere. These small-denomination banknotes fell on the foreign girl.

This caused the foreign girls to burst into laughter and twist their sexy bodies even more vigorously.

In the corner of the cabin.

There are even foreign girls who do more than just twerk.

The extremely huge thunder was jumping up and down, which was amazing to watch. The guy sitting on the sofa was so excited that he couldn't tell the directions, and his eyes became vague.

Exquisite meals and a variety of expensive drinks were placed everywhere for the guests to use at will.

There was a strong smell in the air.

Li Luo had smelled this smell more than once in Cannes. It was like the feeling of burnt tobacco.

Greasy.

It smells a bit disgusting.

Looking at the hand-rolled cigarettes in their mouths, Li Luo took a deep puff of the cigar to blow away the smell, and continued to walk up the stairs. This kind of thing seemed commonplace to others.

There's no need to talk too much, just don't touch it.

"Stupid pig~"

The greeting made him slow down.

"Stupid pig!"

Li Luo had a smile on his face and greeted the girl who was walking down.

Plump buttocks, slim waist, and a big thunder that is just around the corner.

The foreign girl who was walking down the narrow stairs sideways also stopped. The tip of the lightning almost touched Li Luo's shirt. Her slender fingers unceremoniously pressed on his chest muscles. She asked with shining eyes:

"Hey, you're a handsome guy."

"Do you need company?"

The foreign girl's fingers scratched his muscles and her big eyes blinked quickly: "Mr. Wahlberg has already paid, are you interested in spending a wonderful night with me?"

While speaking, he leaned forward.

Gorgeous red lips.

Like a raging fire that keeps jumping.

This girl's English is even worse than mine, she is undoubtedly a French girl!

"Thank you."

Li Luo dodged slightly and politely refused: "You are a beautiful girl, maybe we can talk about it later when there is a chance!"

There was a sense of stiffness as the thunder came down.

To be honest, he was not very interested in this unnatural work.

Not every foreign girl has a great figure. Ordinary or small figures are the norm. Those that are big and stiff are most likely to have advanced technology.

The girl mumbled something in short French.

The expression looks regretful.

After wiping Li Luo's body, she continued to move down while twisting her fat hips.

Sexy figure.

He was so impressed by what he saw that he ignored Lei Zi.

This is really a good artillery position.

Wahlberg is a real spendthrift. Party girls during the film festival are extremely expensive, especially those who are pretty and tall. They cost at least five or six thousand euros a night.

There are at least a dozen girls on the boat now, although not all of them are party girls.

But tens of thousands of Euros are definitely needed!
Not to mention the expenses of renting a yacht and various foods and drinks. It is estimated that a night out at sea would cost more than 100,000 or 200,000 euros, and the current exchange rate between the euro and the RMB is ten.

Biting the cigar with some toothache, Li Luo continued to walk up.

He is indeed a top Hollywood star.

It can really be made!
"plum."

As Li Luo walked up to the third floor, the young man with a thick cigar in his mouth strode forward and said with a hearty smile: "I made a bet with Kevin whether you would come. Welcome to my party."

"Mr. Wahlberg."

When his fist bumped into the other person's, Li Luo smiled and said, "Sorry, the drinking party delayed us a bit."

"Mark, just call me Mark!"

Waving his hand, Wahlberg turned around and sat on the sofa: "It's good that you can come to participate. Please sit down. Damn Kevin, I asked you to put your things away. I said Li is Chinese."

Under his scolding.

Kevin Dillon smiled awkwardly and quickly hid a red wine glass behind himself.

There are two colors of pills inside.

blue.

It should be Viagra.

Pink.

Then I don’t know what it is!

Although the pills were hidden, the large plate of hand-rolled cigarettes in front of him showed no sign of hiding them, and Wahlberg was very polite and offered him one: "It's Mexican. It's hard to get."

Looking at this guy's expression, it's like he's about to smoke a cigarette.

"Thank you."

Li Luo's eyes twitched slightly, and he bumped fists with Dillon again and sat down: "That thing is also contraband, I won't touch it."

"what?"

Dillon was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously, "I did hear that your place has very strict control. I heard that people can be put in jail? But will rolling cigarettes also be punished?"

“No jail time.”

Li Luo smiled and leaned back.

"Oh?"

Wahlberg was a little confused.

"boom!"

Li Luo put his finger on Dillon's temple like lightning, and poked it lightly while making a sound with his mouth.

"Shet~"

The latter shuddered with fear, and the hand-rolled cigarette fell from his mouth.

Sparks flew across his crotch.

"Hahaha."

Seeing Li Luo's smirk, Wahlberg laughed out loud: "Don't scare Kevin so much that Dick can't stand up. I thought you were a very serious guy, but I didn't expect you to be so funny."

Although he started out as a street thug, he has now become a world-renowned actor.

When it comes to swearing, he is not ambiguous at all.

Ti Lung didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he slapped the cigarette butt aside and swiftly picked up the whiskey and poured it for Li Luo: "I don't think I'm as strong as you. Let's compete in drinking capacity. Li, your movie is really well made."

“Have you filmed anything before?”

“It’s my first time directing.”

Li Luo picked up the wine glass with a smile and looked at the two guys who suddenly started coughing violently.

The coughing soon stopped, and Wahlberg clinked glasses with him with a strange look on his face, then drank the pure whiskey in big gulps, as if this could reduce some of the psychological impact.

Judging from his age, he is more than ten years younger than me.

It was my first time making a movie, and I turned out such an excellent work.

"plum."

Swallowing the whiskey hard, Wahlberg nodded heavily and said, "If I were a judge, the Golden Camera would definitely vote for you!"

"me too."

Dillon also tried hard to exhale the alcohol.

"Thank you."

While the two were looking stunned, Li Luo drank most of the glass of whiskey without changing his expression and put the empty glass down with a clang.

In terms of space.

The topmost part of a yacht is the smallest.

But what about beauty?

The most beautiful girls should be on top.

In the outdoor bathtub next to them, two naked golden cats were drinking red wine and enjoying the splashing water. The foreign girls working at the bar and serving the wine were all extremely beautiful and top-notch.

After Wahlberg whispered something, Leelo realized that the people wearing the gold ropes on their wrists were party girls.

As long as he wants.

You can use it at any time.

Those who are dressed neatly and not wearing bracelets are all friends, or friends of friends. These girls must be willing on both sides and should not be too straightforward when approaching them.

In this kind of situation, of course you should just let go and have fun.

But Li Luo was not in a hurry.

In fact, this kind of place is still a place for socializing after all.

Relaxation is the main thing.

But communication is indispensable.

If you act in a hurry as if you have never seen a woman before, you will only be looked down upon. No one who can get on a yacht is short of male or female sex.

To put it bluntly, party girls are just decorations at the party.

Just to relax.

That's it.

Li Luo ordered himself a plate of baked Australian lobster with cheese and ate slowly, occasionally discussing the plot of the movie with the two guys. It was heard that he just had a thigh cramp when he jumped off the building.

Wahlberg couldn't believe it and wondered if he was using special effects!

This guy is very honest.

Anyway, he didn't dare to jump out of that environment.

Seeing the two men's startled expressions, Li Luo honestly felt extremely grateful to all the predecessors, including Bruce Lee, Fang Long, Jet Li and other martial artists, who had paved the way for them with their fists and feet.

To be honest, let yourself be a latecomer.

Huge benefits.

Action movies sold all over the world have subtly influenced countless people's perceptions of Chinese people. At least as an action actor, I can gain enough respect.

"mark!!!"

While chatting and laughing, Li Luo reached out the dinner knife towards Australian dragon, but was stopped by a dissatisfied cry.

The sound of footsteps was heard.

Suddenly, the entire starry sky became brilliant.

A mixed-race woman in casual pants and a white shirt ran up the stairs with a stern face. Although she looked angry, her beautiful face did not give the impression of anger at all.

"Shu~"

Li Luo narrowed his eyes, and the knife cut the chewy lobster meat with unstoppable force.

"What about others?"

Holding her slender waist with one hand, the mixed-race beauty looked at Wahlberg with dissatisfaction: "I have no problem with your party, but I have a big problem with him leaving me behind to come to your party."

"Please."

Wahlberg spread his hands in confusion: "I don't understand what you're talking about!"

"Jessica."

Dillon nodded quickly and greeted him.

At this time, a gust of sea breeze blew, making the woman's brown hair flutter. Her extremely delicate facial features were a mixture of sexiness and sweetness. The two completely different feelings were unexpectedly harmonious.

The moment the other party appears.

All the beautiful girls on the third floor of the yacht were instantly eclipsed!
