Chapter 1,143 Do you dare?

Without Nirvana, there is no way to see God. The god here means great enlightenment in Buddhism. The Lord Buddha was born in Nirvana and achieved immeasurable merits. If all living beings want to see God and achieve great enlightenment, they must go through the process of Nirvana.

This kind of nirvana can be seen as a spiritual sublimation, or a more popular explanation is that after death, there is life.

Li Lianjie just put himself in such a position. He already had plans to come back, so he didn't make any more stops. After he signed the contract with Xinhuamian Film and Television Company as scheduled, everyone felt like they were being deceived. What kind of trouble is this? Isn't it Li Lianjie who is going to audition for "Wind Talker"?

Why are you here again?

Regarding this matter, in fact, one thing that more people should think of is that no one in this place can understand Li Lianjie's actions more clearly. This is a process of his nirvana, at least in terms of his career.

Li Lianjie's agent John called angrily and asked: "What do you want to do about this matter? This matter is not as simple as you think. You actually gave up the audition for [Wind Talker]. Please, you know how to do it?" How difficult is it to get this opportunity to audition?”

Obviously, John was very dissatisfied with Li Lianjie's approach, which completely disrupted his plans in Hollywood.

Li Lianjie didn't say anything else, but thought for a while and said: "John, tell me, if I listen to you and audition for [Wind Talker], will I have a chance in such a thing?" Go and act in this movie. A big Hollywood production is also about the war in the West. A Chinese person appears in this thing rashly. Do you think it is because the Hollywood screenwriter has lost his mind at this time, or that Wu Yusen is short-sighted, or... Are you saying that investors are all idiots?”

These three questions left John speechless. Regarding such a matter, no matter how it was, John felt that his own interests had been damaged, so he was so dissatisfied. Now Hearing this result, he nodded and said: "There is really no guarantee, but if you try and it doesn't work, then there is no chance at all at this time. The director is one of your own, so you should have a certain chance." Yes, Li, it would be a shame for you to give up on this."

This matter depends on favors and whether Wu Yusen takes care of his own people. At least this is what John thinks. But when it comes to such a question, no matter what it is, John is using Chinese thinking. Consider this issue.

Li Lianjie said without hesitation: "Because it is Wu Yusen, I know that I have no chance. Wu Yusen wants to prove himself to Hollywood, so he will not allow any mistakes in this movie. But if In my words, when it comes to a problem like this, things will become so helpless. He will never allow this kind of thing to appear in his movie."

John said with some confusion: "It's impossible. If they don't want to, then they can just reject us directly at this time. Why do they agree to our audition? Let us go for the audition. That means there is someone suitable for you in the movie." It’s the right role.”

This issue is the most critical. Therefore, regarding such a matter, Li Lianjie explained: "You think too simply. There is no suitable role for me, but they spread the news like this and let you win the audition." This opportunity gives us hope. If he uses the media to hype it up at this time, then things will become relatively simple on such an issue.

The Windtalkers crew didn’t have any sincerity in asking me to go, they just said they hoped I would cooperate with them in promoting the movie. You said that if we go to audition, will we definitely cooperate with their hype? "

This problem is indeed like this. Hype is a science, especially in a place like Hollywood, it is even more so. "What I want is not what I portray.

The crew of "Wind Talker" did not want Li Lianjie to participate in the show, but wanted to use the fact that both Li Lianjie and Wu Yusen were from China to hype up their own movie.

Having said this, John felt a little helpless. If you think about this matter seriously, it will be more obvious in a matter like this. This is a pit, this is a big pit, but John still has to jump into it.

At this moment, John knew the situation and said helplessly: "Maybe there is hype, but this is the company's explanation. What you do means that I can't explain it to the company?"

The company may also need news to hype its actors, and it's hard to say whether the company and the crew will join forces to promote it this time. Therefore, when it comes to a problem like this, things become much more complicated.

From the company's perspective, there is actually no problem in hyping it up. It is even said that if Li Lianjie had not decided to return to China to develop, he might still cooperate with the hype at this time.

But it's different now. Even if John uses the name of the company to suppress Li Lianjie, Li Lianjie is not worried at all about such a thing.

He said with a smile: "John, I know this matter has embarrassed you. You have helped me a lot in the past two years. As you said, the company's interests are the greatest, and Danny the wolfdog is I sacrificed my image for the benefit of the company. So now you can relax, my contract has expired, and you can go back to the company and find someone else to be your agent."

John was dumbfounded when he suddenly heard the news. Could it be that Li Lianjie was joking?

John immediately said stupidly: "Li, things like this are not funny at all. You have to grasp it clearly. Moreover, for such a thing, your performance in Hollywood is getting better and better now." , you don’t have any plans to retreat, do you?”

He heard that Li Lianjie did have the intention of retreating. This was the thing he was most worried about. Regarding such a problem, Li Lianjie was his cash cow. Although he didn't make much, but that Compared with superstars, John actually feels that he is quite satisfied now. Without Li Lianjie, John's status in Hollywood would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, on such an issue, if Li Lianjie quits, the one who will be truly affected is John, who is the most directly affected person. Therefore, no matter how he said it on such an issue, he was unwilling to face the reality at this time.

But Li Lianjie was also determined not to play anymore. Therefore, he said with great certainty: "This thing is true. I don't want to play in Hollywood anymore. I want to return to China to develop. This is my root. Of course, if there are any movies in Hollywood that require a guest appearance, I can still consider it, but my real focus will shift to China in the future. Therefore, you are free."

Since we are no longer in Hollywood, then regarding such a thing, it will become so simple, Li Lianjie will not play anymore.

I no longer play in Hollywood. John said helplessly: "Li, in fact, you have just established your position in Hollywood. If you want to quit at this time, your previous efforts will be in vain."

Li Lianjie's determination was still very strong. He said unceremoniously: "John, you don't have to say it, Hollywood is not the place for me to go. Although I have achieved some results, I have not received too much attention from various media in Hollywood." Pay attention, I am only a first-line actor at best.

Therefore, I think when I come back, you can just tell the company about it. "

After saying that, Li Lianjie hung up the phone. This was the last time Jesus appeared on this kind of call.

John suddenly fell out with Li Lianjie, but there was nothing he could do about it. He reported it directly to the company, and the people in the company were even more helpless.

In fact, this time is indeed a suppression of Li Lianjie by William Morris. They know that Li Lianjie's contract is about to expire. If Li Lianjie does not renew the contract, then Li Lianjie's contract will be converted into a free contract. By then, Li Lianjie's status will be relatively transcendent.

This is something the company doesn't want to see. Therefore, this time, William Morris also wanted to hit Li Lianjie, and Wind Talker wanted to promote it, and many of the Wind Talkers movies were artists from William Morris.

Therefore, if you want to use Li Lianjie to hype up, this is also a reasonable use of resources.

In fact, no one knows better than William Morris that Li Lianjie cannot participate in this movie. But they still want to use Li Lianjie to promote it. This is because William Morris wants to give Li Lianjie a beating so that it will be easier for Li Lianjie to sign a contract.

Tell Li Lianjie that if she wants to work in Hollywood, then on such a problem, she must obediently renew her contract and listen to the company's arrangements.

But William Morris actually calculated almost everything accurately, but it failed to calculate whether Li Lianjie was willing to renew his contract. As a result, Li Lianjie stopped playing in Hollywood. He decided to go to China, where Li Lianjie was. The foundation of.

To be honest, the influence of William Morris Company in China is nothing at all. The current result is that Li Lianjie's contract is about to expire and will be converted into a free contract. Of course, the free contract cannot draw on many resources of William Morris Company, but the company also has very few restrictions on artists. This is why Li Lianjie's situation in the company is The status will be relatively transcendent.

Just like those singers who announced that they would no longer win awards. No one is in Hollywood, and William Morris Company also knows that Li Lianjie is determined to do this, so there is no point in getting entangled in the contract.

At this moment, people from William Morris Company directly informed the crew of "Wind Talker" of the situation and expressed to them that under such circumstances, it would be impossible for Li Lianjie to cooperate with their hype.

As for this matter, Wu Yusen, one of the directors and producers, was also very helpless. Now he was discussing the script with another producer, Anderson. After hearing the news, Anderson put down the script and said: "Li Lianjie's side. It seems that we have clearly seen that we are using him in this matter, so we will not cooperate with the publicity at all. William Morris Company has made it very clear that Li Lianjie will develop in China and will not play in Hollywood. This is not good for us. It’s a pity to say,”

Anderson didn't quite understand why Li Lianjie didn't make a movie here in a promising place like Hollywood, but he made it clear that he wanted to return to China to make a movie. Isn't it better to go back to China than to be in a place like Hollywood? For those who make movies, Hollywood is a paradise.

Wu Yusen was not surprised at all, but said very calmly: "In fact, I didn't agree with this matter at the beginning. I knew that Li Lianjie would not be able to cooperate with us so easily. But I didn't expect that in this situation, Regarding one thing, Li Lianjie actually did such a great job. We miscalculated. We originally wanted to hype it up, but we didn't expect that Li Lianjie wouldn't cooperate. It's really a pity."

At this time, Anderson hesitated and said: "If I can use Cheng Long or Ye Ming to hype up, do you think this is a selling point?"

Wu Yusen quickly denied such a suggestion: "Cheng Long is older, so it is impossible for him to star in this matter. As for Ye Ming, if you dare to use him for hype, you are not afraid of being blocked by Huihuang.com Our work?”

Anderson has no way to answer this question. Regarding such a matter, no matter what it is, Ye Ming's Brilliant Network is a big killer in Hollywood. Any movie that wants to promote it well, Brilliant Network cannot be bypassed.

Therefore, if you invite Ye Ming to perform, forget it, but if you want to deceive Ye Ming and use Ye Ming to hype, then Wu Yusen can understand with his toes that Ye Ming will definitely block his movie completely. Yes, this is a matter of course.

Therefore, Anderson hesitated for a while and then said: "Well, yes, forget it Ye Ming, we should find other ways to hype up such a large investment. The publicity must keep up. Since it is not source There shouldn't be any problem with offending Ye Ming and asking him to cooperate to promote our movie on Huihuang.com, right?"

Don't offend Ye Ming and ask him to cooperate. This is naturally a win-win situation. (To be continued)
