422 【Persuasion】
Both men and women hate being called naive, and Michelle Pfeiffer is no exception.
After hearing Ye Jin say this, she couldn't help but be stunned.
After a while, she looked at Ye Jin and said coldly, "Okay, if you want to have a good talk, then let's have a good talk. Tell me, why do I still want to film "Dragon Hard Boy 2"?"
Ye Jin was stunned and confused when asked. He then frowned and asked Michelle, "Then why don't you take a photo?"
"Dragon Hard 2" is not a bad movie, and his pay is very fair. Apart from emotional factors, he really doesn't understand why Michelle refuses to film.
"I am famous, have status, and have box office appeal now. I wonder how many film dealers have invited me to film." Michelle sneered, "Tell me, why do I want to film your "Dragon Hard Boy 2"? I have so few scenes in it, and I'm not even as good as a vase!"
Ye Jin pursed his lips and knew that Michelle was telling the truth.
To be honest, Michelle's role in "Dragon Hard 2" is indeed not heavy.
Because in the previous movie, Ellie, she played by Ye Jin, has become a couple. In the sequel, their relationship is no longer the focus. Master Jian, the grudges and entanglement between Zhong and the girl Lan are the top priority.
Therefore, in the sequel, Michelle is actually the second female lead and is not as important as the vase character.
"Say, what reason do you have to let me take on such a role?" Michelle Pfeiffer asked Ye Jin with his eyes wide open.
Since she has starred in "Dragon Hard Boy" and "Ghost Street" and has successively achieved high box office results, she has become a dazzling new star in Hollywood.
In addition, she is really beautiful herself, and she is the best sample of the blond and white girl in the America, so there are really many movies to be filmed by her.
Although most of them are vase characters, they have already won many of them than "Dragon Hard Boy 2". After all, the role she plays in this movie is not as good as a vase character.
"Well..." Ye Jin blinked his eyes and then sighed, "Okay, to be honest, you really don't have many roles in "Dragon Hard Boy 2", and you are not even as good as a vase character.
But I still hope you can star in this movie. Because "Dragon Hard Boy" is the first movie you starred in, it is this movie and this role that makes you a popular star.
Now in this movie, this character needs you, don’t you want to respond? Just say goodbye to this movie, this character.”
When Michelle heard this, she was stunned.
After a moment, she took a deep breath, "Okay, you convinced me. I agreed to star in this movie, but you have to remember that I am for the role of [Elie], and I am definitely not for you!"
"Then I'll be relieved." Ye Jin said with relief.
"Hmph!" Michelle Pfeiffer was so angry that he glared at him again.
...
Ten days later, "Dragon Hard Boy 2" officially announced the start of filming.
The Hollywood media also gave face, and more than a dozen companies came to support the show.
The reason why the media supports it is that "Dragon Hard Boy" is ranked fifth in the annual box office rankings in 1976, with a very good box office, a lot of crowds, and a very good popularity. Now that its sequel is on the way, it is naturally a big deal for its many fans.
Second, the lineup of "Dragon Hard Boy 2" is relatively strong. Important teams such as Ye Jin, Michelle, Shi Jian, and Mai Jiashang gather together again. For the majority of movie fans, this can ensure the original flavor of the movie.
Moreover, in two years, Ye Jin, Michelle and Mai Jiashang are all more well-known than before. Especially Ye Jin, although his investment in "Star Wars" failed, he is still considered a successful producer.
"Mr. Ye, how much investment will be in "Dragon Witness 2"? Will it have an impact on your finances?" asked a reporter.
A few days ago, it was rumored that Ye Jin failed to invest and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Although this rumor disappeared because of his successful acquisition of Warner Manor, it has to be said that the water has left traces and still has a certain impact.
"The investment in this movie will be as high as five million US dollars." Ye Jin smiled, "As for financial impact, it will not be possible at all. My financial situation is very healthy, and my investment is also very successful."
The stocks he commissioned Alice Shandro Mell to invest in, such as ibm, Intel, Amd, HP, Coca-Copyright and Gamble, etc. Although the stock prices have risen and fallen, they have to rise in general.
Not to mention that he has bought a house in Xiangjiang. In the past few months, the housing market in Xiangjiang has gradually recovered, and housing prices have also risen again and again. When Ye Jin bought a house a few months ago, it was only 190 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, but now it has risen to 21 to 23. With this alone, Ye Jin made a big profit.
Therefore, the fact that "Star Wars" was hidden in the air did damage his wallet, but it was far from the point of bankruptcy.
In addition, the cost of "Dragon Hard 2" is two million dollars, not five million dollars. Michelle Pfeiffer only received a pay for guest appearance. After all, her scenes are not much. At most, she will be filmed for about a week.
Mai Jiashang also charges a discount. He is filming outside and pays $200,000. He is filming "Dragon Hard Boy 2" and pays $100,000.
As for Yuan Biao, Cheng Long, Dong Wei and Zhao Yazhi, the pay is even smaller, each of which is only 50,000 US dollars. Although it is not much, it is already considered high compared to their salary in Xiangjiang.
"Mr. Ye, why is "Star Wars" hidden? Is this movie really so ugly?" asked another reporter.
The total production cost of the movie "Star Wars" is 18 million US dollars, which is a rare science fiction production. But it was this movie that was rejected by all filmmakers after it was filmed, which is really puzzled. How bad is this movie that all filmmakers avoided it.
"I dare to assure everyone with my reputation that this movie will definitely not be a bad movie." Ye Jin shook his head, "However, its production philosophy is a bit advanced, so it cannot be accepted by everyone for a while. Just like "The Party and the Party" filmed by Griffith, it is a classic work, but unfortunately it was born at the wrong time."
"So that's it." The reporter nodded, then asked again, "Will you consider releasing it in the future?"
"Of course, I'm still trying my best." Ye Jin nodded, "I don't think this day will last too long."
"Mr. Ye, I heard that you and Warner have a priority cooperation agreement. But Warner refuses to help you release "Star Wars". So will you still be willing to cooperate with it in the future?" another reporter asked.
Ye Jin was stunned and then smiled.
