Jerry Brookheimer, general manager of Tianxia Production, was very happy after receiving these scripts. He could see that these scripts were very good. The subject matter was novel and the story was interesting. If produced, it would definitely achieve very good box office results.

"Mr. Xia, your works are really great." Bruckheimer exclaimed sincerely.

"Jerry, don't flatter me." Xia Tian smiled, "I gave you these scripts not to listen to these. You have to prepare well and shoot these works carefully. This is the greatest reward for me."

"Yes, Mr. Xia, please don't worry, I will definitely take care of it." Brookheimer nodded.

"Well, by the way, I hope to find Matt Damon as the male lead in "The Spy", and I hope to find Zhong Li-Teacher to star in the female lead." Xia Tian ordered Brookheimer.

After hearing Xia Tian’s orders, Brookheimer nodded first, agreeing that Matt Damon will play the leading role.

In 1997, Matt Damon became famous with his self-written and self-acted "The Spirit Catcher", and is now a rising star in Hollywood.

Because he has just become famous for less than two years, his pay is not high. But he still has a certain reputation, and his acting skills are comparable to those of the veteran actors, so it is still very cost-effective to ask him to be the male lead.

But Brookheimer was a little confused about Zhong Lishi.

"Mr. Xia, who is Miss Zhong Liti?" he asked blankly.

Zhong Liti made her debut in the 1990s because she participated in the audition of the heroine of "Red Fan District". Although "Red Fan District" had a good box office and achieved very good box office in the United States, Hong Kong, mainland China, and Nanyang, Zhong Liti made her debut, but after filming this drama, she still failed to stay in Hollywood, the United States to develop.

Although Xia Tian was already the boss of Columbia Pictures at that time and had a high status in Hollywood, to be honest, Hollywood has a history of xenophobia for nearly a hundred years. Chinese people like him rarely receive more important roles, and often they don’t even have to run into a supporting role.

Zhong Liti was originally planning to stay in Hollywood, but she couldn't wait for the opportunity to perform. At that time, she was busy with financial sniping and had no extra energy to take care of her, so she had to go to Hong Kong to develop.

Because she hasn't been there for a year in total, and only has one work, it's normal for Brookheimer to not know her.

Xia Tian immediately explained to Brookheimer.

"Mr. Xia, isn't it too risky to let her be the heroine?" After hearing this, Brookheimer couldn't help but complain.

Zhong Liti has not developed in Hollywood for many years, so it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a newcomer. Moreover, she is nearly thirty years old this year, and even if she makes her famous, there is not much potential to explore. After all, for actresses, they are already on a downward path after they are thirty years old.

Brookheimer read the script of "Spy Shadows" and felt it was very good. He thought it was a very likely work to be a big hit. Such good resources should be handed over to more potential actresses so that they can achieve their greatest value.

"I have my own considerations." Xia Tian said lightly after hearing what he said.

To be honest, Zhong Liti's quality is not good enough. She is nearly thirty years old, with her acting skills and fame that is even more close to nothing. It is indeed a loss to praise her. But then again, Xia Tian thinks it is still worth it.

First, Zhong Liti is a relatively outstanding actress among the active Hong Kong actresses today; second, she was born and raised in Canada and has no barriers to filming foreign language scenes.

Xia Tian still liked her to act in works such as "Legend of Mermaid", "King of Destruction", "Body Guard of Zhongnanhai", "Rogue Doctor", "Late Girl" in his previous life. He felt that she was both sexual and pure and very charming.

After more than a year of investigation, he also confirmed that Zhong Liti's love life is very simple and not as complicated as in media reports, so he wanted to have more contact with her.

After hearing what Xia Tian said, Brookheimer had no choice but to nod.

...

"Pirates of the Caribbean" starring Johnny Depp, Wu Yanzu and Charlize Theron." Xia Tian ordered again.

Johnny Depp signed fifteen movie contracts by Xia Tian more than a decade ago because of his "young ignorance", and the salary for each movie was only 1,000 US dollars, which can be said to be extremely miserable.

Of course, after he became famous, Xia Tian did not use that contract to force him to take on the role at a pay of 1,000 US dollars per movie. Because the contract belongs to the contract, reality belongs to reality.

If the contract stipulates, Xia Tian could indeed ask Johnny Depp to film for himself for a movie of one thousand dollars per drama. But in reality, if he really asked that, it would be anger.

You should know that most Hollywood stars slowly get up from low to high. When they were not famous, in order to get opportunities, they often signed unreasonable contracts, such as sharing more of their agents, agreeing to expose their bodies in the film, etc.

After they become famous, they are naturally unwilling to fulfill their contracts before signing them. Generally speaking, brokerage companies and production companies will not force them.

After all, when filming, the actors need to devote themselves to it. If they feel oppressed and unhappy, they will make trouble for you every minute, and the losses will be huge.

Therefore, usually after the artist becomes famous, the production company and agency will sign a contract with them to avoid a stalemate of the relationship.

Of course, artists are not at all cost. They usually take on filming studios at lower market prices. In this way, both parties will benefit.

For example, when Johnny Depp took on other company scenes, his salary was $10 million. When he was producing and filming for the world, he might only charge six million or seven million dollars. Both sides took a step back and everyone could get through it.

If Johnny Depp is forced to pay $1,000 per movie in the summer, it will probably be boycotted by the entire industry.

...

Wu Yanzu debuted in 1998 and starred in his first film "The Love of a Beautiful Boy". In the same year, he won the Best Newcomer Award at this year for "City of Glass".

Now he is one of the hottest newcomers in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. On the one hand, he is handsome enough, and Wu Yanzu was almost synonymous with "beautiful man" in his previous life; on the other hand, his acting skills are also very good. Unlike some traffic male stars, who have a good face, but in fact, his acting skills are so poor.

Therefore, Xia Tian is willing to help him play "Pirates of the Caribbean" to replace the role of blacksmith Will, who was originally played by Orlando Bloom.
