"Easterns all look young, but in fact he is twenty-two years old." Roland Platinum smiled, "But at such an age, it is really good to write such a script. It is said that it is precisely because of this that Warner executives value this movie."

"Wow, really?!" Michelle Pfeiffer said in surprise, "I really envy him, twenty-two years old, and he looks so young."

Women in America have a very short season. Once they are twenty-five years old, they basically look like an aunt. They have to spend a lot of money to maintain their appearance. In comparison, Ye Jin looks like a high school student at the age of 22. Such talent is really enviable.

"It is said that he is very famous in East Asia, and the movie can be sold at a maximum of 10 million US dollars. In Hong Kong, his box office even surpasses Bruce Lee." Roland Platinum said, "So even if the movie fails in North America and is released overseas, it is possible to recover the cost."

"That's amazing." Michelle Pfeiffer said in shock again.

Last year, Bruce Lee's "The Dragon and Tiger Fight" caused a huge sensation after its release in North America. The movie costing $800,000 won 25 million in its premiere box office, and the global box office reached 90 million. Such a huge commercial success made Bruce Lee a famous superstar in Asiaticola.

Although Michelle Pfeiffer doesn't like watching kung fu movies, he has also heard of Bruce Lee's reputation. Now he heard that Ye Jin's box office in Hong Kong surpassed Bruce Lee, and the entire East Asia region has a box office appeal of tens of millions of dollars, so he was naturally very surprised. He didn't expect that the young man was so powerful.

"So this seemingly inconspicuous opportunity is actually rare," Roland smiled. "Those agency companies thought it was just a small cost of $1.5 million, and the protagonist was a Hong Konger, so they were not very enthusiastic about this project. They will regret it sooner or later."

"Yeah." Michelle Pfeiffer nodded.

...

After selecting the heroine, the actor who plays [Lee] has also arrived.

Because the drama sets [Li] as a Chinese who knows kung fu, Ye Jin did not choose in Hollywood, but instead directly tuned people from Xiangjiang.

According to the movie "Baliang Jin", the largest Chinatown in the world is Xiangjiang. Chinese people who know Kung Fu are all over the place.

The person Ye Jin chose was Senior Shi Jian.

Because of the popularity of "Dragon and Tiger Fight", Shi Jian, who played the villain in the film, is now very famous in Amerika. Therefore, it is also quite appropriate to ask him to play [Li], who teaches kung fu.

"A Jin, you are so awesome. You have only been in the industry for two years and have come to Hollywood to develop. It's amazing!" Shi Jian said with a smile.

Although Bruce Lee had been in Hong Kong for two years, he came to Hollywood to shoot the movie "The Dragon and the Tiger". However, he originally came from Hollywood, so the situation was quite special.

Ye Jin was not from Hollywood, but he was able to enter Hollywood within two years. Such speed is really admirable.

"Uncle Jian has been awarded." Ye Jin waved his hand and said, "I can come to Hollywood now, and I rely on myself to spend money. When I have gained a firm foothold in Hollywood and people take the initiative to give me money, I will be considered officially developing in Hollywood."

"Yes." Hearing him say this, Shi Jian nodded with a smile.

He has been in the entertainment industry for so long and has seen with his own eyes how many talented newcomers have become famous. After he becomes famous, he doesn't know how much he has. He is frivolous and impetuous, arrogant, and he will soon be out of breath, just like a meteor flashing away.

Ye Jin is not proud of becoming famous at a young age and being able to maintain a clear mind. It is really rare.

...

As for director, Ye Jin interviewed dozens of people, but none of them were very satisfied.

The reason is that these directors either have insufficient experience, have too many of their own ideas, or have too high prices.

The director who has made several movies dared to call for $300,000 in his film pay, which is like robbing money. Ye Jin only offered himself a 100,000 US dollars in film pay, so how could he have the extra money to hire such an expensive director?

Ye Jin refused to be a director with insufficient experience. He is now a clay Buddha crossing the river and cannot protect himself, so he dare not let them practice his own play.

Ye Jin doesn't want to use it if the director has too many ideas. If the director has too many ideas, it is easy to make the movie go off the line. A comedy film is made into a horror film, and an action film is made into an art film... This is all possible.

For example, "Tang Bohu Deep Autumn Fragrance 2" produced by Yongsheng was directed by Li Lizhi. He originally wanted him to make a hilarious comedy, but Li Lizhi wanted to make it more profound, so he made it into an art film.

After watching the film, Yongsheng was very dissatisfied and immediately fired Li Lizhi and replaced Wang Jing to rescue him. Wang Jing regained the actor, filmed the scene for three days, and edited it again, and finally changed a dull art film into a hilarious comedy film. In the end, he won more than 100 million yuan in box office, without losing money. If it was a previous art film, he might not even be able to recover his capital.

From this we can see that the consequences of using the wrong director of the movie are really serious.

What's even more troublesome is that if Ye Jin really uses the wrong director, he can't kick him out like Yongsheng. Because Hollywood directors are surrounded by unions, it cannot be said that Ye Jin wants to replace him, but he has to pay a very high price. Money plus breach of contract compensation is a lot of money.

Therefore, you must never take risks, let alone be careless.

In fact, when Ye Jin chose a director, he just wanted to choose an experienced director who could film according to the script.

Because he wrote this script based on the movie, as long as it was filmed as it was, the director did not need to take advantage of the topic. This would cause trouble to him.

After choosing, there was no good choice, and Ye Jin wanted to go on his own.

Anyway, he has been a director, so he should still be able to do it.

...

At this moment, Mai Jiashang recommended himself to him, "Mr. Ye, how about you let me be a director?"

When Ye Jin heard his question, he suddenly slapped his head, "Oh!"

I have been busy auditioning for Hollywood directors these two days, and I have completely forgotten that there is a director around me, and it is really dark under the light.

"Hey, it's you." Ye Jin clapped his hands and smiled, "You have reminded me a long time ago, I've been annoyed for two days."

Mai Jiashang smiled awkwardly.

The reason why he didn't say it before was mainly because he was worried that he wouldn't be worth it, because he had only served as the assistant director of several movies in Hollywood.

Although the deputy director and director are only one word apart, the gap is the heaven and earth.

The director is the chief dispatcher of the film, responsible for dispatching everyone's work. The deputy director is just an assistant, responsible for casting, assisting in directing actors, supervising props, sets, costumes, etc. A drama can have seven or eight directors, but in most cases, there can only be one director.

He was worried that he would be rejected, so he was embarrassed to mention it. But now that he saw that Ye Jin wanted to go on the battlefield in person, he naturally had no shame. No matter how light his weight was, it was much heavier than Ye Jin, who only directed half of the movies.
