Chapter 115: big detective
The success of "Hometown" has brought a sigh of relief to all the staff in the studio, and the nerves that have been tense since the filming of this film can finally relax.
The studio's finances have already been budgeted. After the box office is divided, after deducting the cost and expenses, and then split with 20th Century Fox, the net profit at the global box office alone can reach more than 100 million US dollars. In addition, the copyright of DVD and the copyright of various peripheral products have also been negotiated, and the income of this share will not be small.
The studio's first investment was so successful, everyone was very excited, not to mention Lu Yan, the big boss, with a wave of his hand, he asked his assistant to book a high-end hotel for a celebration banquet.
At the celebration banquet, in addition to the studio members and crew members, Su Jue and Su Mo also came. After all, Su Mo was also the second boss, and Su Jue was completely a non-staff. So Li Ran glared at him as soon as he saw him, "Today is an internal celebration banquet, what are you doing here as an outsider?"
Su Jue hugged Su Mo's arm with a smile, "How can I be considered an outsider, I am a family member."
Several crew members next to him heard Su Jue's words, and immediately showed an expression that was as expected. Two of the girls even turned around excitedly, took out their mobile phones and opened the forum, revealing new evidence.
Several studio employees who didn't know the truth and only browsed the forum saw Su Jue and came over to say hello. They called "Mr. Su" very affectionately, and saw the boss's wife's flattering expression on their faces.
The atmosphere was so strange that Su Jue couldn't even think about it without realizing it.
Li Ran had a look of schadenfreude. From childhood to adulthood, he had suffered a lot from Su Jue's hands, and he had a rare chance to see him shriveled, but he didn't know how happy he was.
Su Jue looked at Su Mo pitifully, "Brother, I was wronged."
Su Mo smiled slightly and patted the back of his hand, "Don't worry, brother knows what you mean."
Su Jue frowned and complained in a low voice, "Brother, when are you going to make it public? I'm about to be wronged to death, I can't stand it anymore."
Su Mo glanced at Lu Yan who was chatting and laughing over there, with tenderness in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "He has his own measure."
Lu Yanfang, who was talking to a few core members of the studio over there, seemed to have a sense of it. When Su Mo looked over, he also raised his head. He happened to see the three people here, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Whispering and accusing the people who were talking, Lu Yan strode over.
After getting closer, I saw Su Jue's hand hanging on Su Mo's arm, and unconsciously frowned slightly, the corner of his mouth pursed down, he walked over quickly, glanced at Su Jue, and then said to Su Mo, "Director Su, is it convenient to take a step to speak?"
Su Mo's face was still light, and he nodded, "Yes."
As soon as Su Jue saw the look in Lu Yan's eyes, he immediately let go. Su Mo and Lu Yan walked out one after the other.
The girl over there who just finished posting noticed the movement here and became a little excited. Is this the rhythm of meeting the parents? ? ! !
Su Jue pulled Li Ran to the side, and said in a low voice with lingering fears, "Did you see the look in Lu Yan's look at me just now, it was like swallowing me alive. Do you have to be so possessive, that's my kiss? Brother. What's wrong with hugging him, I've seen him naked."
Li Ran's eyes changed instantly when he heard the words, "You actually peeked at Boss Su's ass, you pervert!!"
"Damn it, why are you here!" Su Jue almost jumped up and lowered her voice, "I've seen what happened. Isn't it normal for two brothers to take a bath together when they were young?"
"Oh, you mean when I was a child." Li Ran returned to a lazy look.
"Otherwise, what do you think?" Su Jue rolled his eyes at him, and then sighed, "But since eldest brother went to middle school, he hasn't taken a bath with me."
Li Ran's eyes squinted, "You seem very sorry?"
"Well," Su Jue recalled, "When I take a bath together, my eldest brother massages my scalp every time, which is very comfortable. It's a pity that these benefits will be owned by others in the future."
"You can be content, at least you have enjoyed it before." Li Ran sighed.
"That's it." Su Jue became proud again, "You never had the chance to enjoy it."
After chatting and arguing for more than ten minutes, they saw Su Mo come in.
Although Su Mo still looked indifferent, both Su Jue and Li Ran noticed that his hair was a little messy, and his collar was not very neat, as if he had unbuttoned it and re-buttoned it. The most suspicious thing was, of course, his slightly flushed cheeks and his slightly swollen lips that looked even more red.
The two younger brothers looked at each other, they were adults, of course they understood what it meant, and they felt a little nervous all of a sudden, and the two people who were suffering from the same illness stopped arguing.
Li Ran probed behind Su Mo, but when he didn't see anyone, he asked, "Boss Su, where is Lu Yan? Didn't come in with you."
"Well, Qin Feng asked him to talk about something." Su Mo replied naturally.
In the small garden outside the hotel banquet hall, Lu Yan and Qin Feng sat face to face.
Qin Feng said straight to the point, "Do you know Mel Cosridge??"
"Of course, "Lu Yandao," a famous Hollywood director. And he gave me the award at the Cannes Film Festival that year."
"Oh, yes, I also remembered." Qin Feng said, "So you have a little relationship. In this case, even if he doesn't remember you, we can use this to gain friendship."
"It has something to do with the director, so it must have something to do with the movie. Why, does Mel want to choose Chinese actors?" Lu Yan roughly guessed something.
"That's right. You are so smart!" Qin Feng said excitedly.
Lu Yan held his chin and continued to guess, "In recent years, Chinese movie stars have come to Hollywood to make soy sauce, but there is basically no major improvement. Therefore, what can make you so excited is definitely not a small supporting role, it must be a very important role. Role. Male second?"
"Haha," Qin Feng laughed, "That's right. As expected of Lu Yan!"
Lu Yan also laughed, "That's just because I know you better."
Qin Feng continued to laugh, "But there is one thing you guessed wrong. It's not the second male lead, but the male lead."
Lu Yan was also looking forward to it, "What's going on? What kind of movie must be a Chinese star?"
Qin Feng didn't give a **** and said directly. "You know the most famous Chinese detective in the world, known by the West as 'Modern Sherlock Holmes'."
Lu Yan smiled, "How could I not know about such a famous character. Why, what I want to shoot is his story. But isn't he reluctant for others to play him?"
"Maybe he figured it out. Anyway, it's the old detective who has finally let go of the film and television rights, and the director is Mel Cosridge. But the detective also has conditions. His conditions are The protagonists must be Chinese, and they must know kung fu." Qin Feng explained.
"This is simple. Although there are not many famous kung fu superstars in China, they are not absent."
"It's not that simple. The great detective also said that the superstar may not be able to play him, and the superstar can only play himself well. So he will choose the actors together with the director." Qin Feng said.
"So what does Brother Feng mean?" Lu Yan asked knowingly.
"I think this is a good opportunity. Think about it, Chinese actors, starring in well-known Hollywood directors, Hollywood teams, and Hollywood-produced movies, are unique so far. I have already heard about them coming to China. It's time for you to prepare well and use your acting skills and kung fu to conquer this great detective and great director, and get this opportunity. I believe this will be the best opportunity for you to enter the international film industry. "Qin Feng's eyes are bright, and the momentum is like a rainbow.
When Lu Yan saw this world-renowned Chinese detective, he was a little surprised. The old man was still in good spirits, with a bright red face. He didn't look like an old man at all, and he was also very talkative.
Lu Yan himself is also very interested in criminal investigation. He has learned about every public case uncovered by this great detective, and he has even carefully studied the details disclosed in it. As soon as the two met, Lu Yan expressed reverence, and then chatted together for a while about some cases that the great detective had solved. Lu Yan deliberately did not mention those particularly famous ones, but instead discussed some cases that others did not pay much attention to. detail. Some of his views and opinions were also appreciated by the detective, and the two talked very happily. From the very beginning, Lu Yan tried his best to make a good impression on this great detective, and he actually did it. Before they started auditioning, they almost had nothing to say.
As for director Mel Cosridge, he still has an impression of Lu Yan. He still remembers the scene when he personally awarded the trophy to Lu Yan at the Cannes Film Festival that year, and he was also a judge of that film festival. I was very impressed with Lu Yan's performance in the film.
Although they have already reached a friendship at the beginning, they still have to speak with strength in the end. Neither Mel nor the great detective is someone who only cares about friendship.
First of all, Lu Yan's kung fu is very satisfactory to the detective and the director. His kung fu is of the kind that is particularly practical, without any pretense, and it happens to follow the same path as the detective's kung fu.
His acting skills were also not mentioned. The director arranged for him to audition for several segments that were in place. The great detective has experienced many things in his early years and has a lot of experience. Lu Yan also expressed the feeling he wanted very well. Especially in the scene where one of the dishes was being insulted by the guests, Lu Yan's reaction made the detective involuntarily think of his own experience in the past, and he was very impressed for a while.
After it was over, the detective smiled at Lu Yan, "Young man, you are very nice. I am only a little dissatisfied with you."
Lu Yan's heart suddenly lifted, and he forced a smile, "Which point?"
The big detective laughed loudly, "You're just too handsome. When I was young, I couldn't compare to one-tenth of yours."
Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "You have won the prize. In the eyes of many people, you are the most handsome. But if it's because of your appearance, I think the current makeup technology is so powerful that it can transform corruption into Magic, it will definitely turn magic into decay, what do you think?"
"You convinced me. But the final decision must be left to the director. He has the final decision. I can only give some opinions." The detective said.
Mel smiled and said, "Lu, you're great. But I can't make a final decision yet. I'll go back and wait for the news, okay?"
"Of course." Lu Yan smiled, "I am very satisfied to have this opportunity." Then he turned to the detective and said, "It is an honor to meet you here. I have learned a lot from you."
The big detective patted him on the shoulder, "I'm also very happy to meet you, little one. Your knowledge and opinions are different from the average young man. If you have the opportunity to come to Donnedict, you can come to my house. Of course, you have to have time."
"I will, thank you." Lu Yan smiled and thanked him.
It wasn't until Song Hui came to pick him up in the car and the two sat in the back seat together that Qin Feng said, "I also secretly inquired about it just now. I heard the meaning. At least so far, they are the most satisfied with you. If the people who come later are not better, you have a good chance of winning this role."
Lu Yan nodded, "I've tried my best to do the best I can. Of course it's best to be able to win this role. If it doesn't work, try harder next time."
"Don't worry, whether it's strength or luck, I'm very optimistic about you." Qin Feng said with a smile.
