Chapter 459 Wu Jing audition for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"

Other plans?The eyes behind the lenses of Robert Zemeckis flashed a bright light, "No, 20th Century Fox found me a book before, but I thought you still had good ideas, so I didn't pick it up."

The one from 20th Century Fox should be "Cast Island". Apart from not winning an Oscar, that movie is actually very good, but this old man really believes in himself.

"Well, since this is the case, are you interested in filming the bastard truck driver in "The Mummy"? He went to another crew, and I can't find anyone else to film it."

Universal searched a lot for the director of "The Mummy", but Xiao Tian was not satisfied. If it wasn't for the fact that this movie was co-produced with DreamWorks, Universal really couldn't bear it.It's been dragging on for almost a year, but I didn't expect the truck driver to be so slow. That guy had made a promise to me. After filming "Die Hard" and then filming "The Mummy", he was completely busy.

There are not many people in Hollywood who can say that about James Cameron, and most of them are people who are familiar with him. Xiao Tian is undoubtedly one of them. The two of them are friends, and Xiao Tian has a good relationship with many Hollywood directors.

"mummy"?The investment in this film is quite a lot. After pondering for a while, Robert Zemeckis said, "Well, it seems that I made the right choice to reject 20th Century Fox. I accepted it."

The director of "The Mummy" was found, and when the people at Universal heard that the person Xiao Tian was looking for was Robert Zemeckis, they didn't have any complaints, because this, like Spielberg and James Cameron, is the kind of existence that can auction blockbuster movies and also make literary films.

The crew of "Rush Hour" came to an end soon, and everyone went back to their homes to find their mothers. Wu Jing also took the address given by Xiao Tian to the audition location of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Compared with the anxiety and excitement when he first came to Hollywood, Wu Jing has matured a lot now. During the filming of "Rush Hour", he kept absorbing various things like a sponge. Compared with when he was in Hong Kong, he learned more.

Coming to this crew, several other leading actors have already arrived. For Wu Jing recommended by Xiao Tian, ​​Li Ang was a little difficult to deal with, because there was also someone recommended from Taiwan. That person was Zhang Zhen, Luo Xiaohu in the historical space.

The heroine Yu Jiaolong is Zhang Ziyi recommended by Zhang Yimou. This woman looks less than 20 years old, and she just debuted not long ago. Like Wu Jing, she came from the mainland.

"Hello director, I'm Wu Jing." Wu Jing saw Li Ang and greeted him proactively. Zhang Zhen, who had already arrived, looked at Wu Jing. Wu Jing didn't know him, but he knew Wu Jing. The role of "Rush Hour" was originally Jackie Chan's, but for some reason it fell on his head, and the director also became the famous Robert Zemeckis. He was taught by an Oscar-level director.

Li An nodded, took out a copy of Luo Xiaohu's lines, and handed it to the other party, and the other to Zhang Zhen, "You two are holding the same lines now, and now you perform according to your own understanding, and whoever meets my requirements will stay."

Zhang Zhen held the lines, but he began to feel uneasy. He thought that he would be able to reach the sky in one step by being recommended to this crew, and he basically decided on himself. Unexpectedly, he had a competitor, and it was Wu Jing. The other party had already trained in Hollywood, and he had not yet come out of Taiwan.

The three of Chow Yun-fat looked at the two auditioning actors and said nothing. Both Chow Yun-fat and Michelle Yeoh had acted in movies in Hollywood, so they all understood the audition criteria, but Zhang Ziyi was just a young girl who had just debuted. Seeing this scene, she felt very nervous. She thought that everything would be fine if she was arranged by Zhang Yimou.Zhang Ziyi put away her previous mentality.

Taking advantage of the two of them reading their lines, Li An called Xiao Tian, ​​"Heaven, you really gave me a problem. I didn't expect that the person you recommended would be him."

Xiao Tian was plagiarizing right now, and he replied to Li An while copying, "It's okay, you can do what you want, don't take my feelings into consideration, I believe you will not favor anyone."

Um, Li An was a bit stumped by Xiao Tian's big cap. The purpose of making this call was to hope that Xiao Tian could persuade Wu Jing to give up this role, because Zhang Zhen was recommended by the investor. If he offended the investor, he would not be able to make the film at all.

Li An felt like he had a stick in his throat, so uncomfortable, he asked Xiao Tian to find someone, but Li An didn't expect that the investor would force someone to come over, it was really aggrieved.

Li An didn't say anything in the end, and hung up the phone silently. Wu Jing and Zhang Zhen also started their own performances. Both of them performed very well, but compared to Wu Jing, Zhang Zhen still had a superficial view of the role of Luo Xiaohu, and Wu Jing had almost mastered this role in this short period of time. Li An suddenly understood why Xiao Tian recommended Wu Jing.

So between Xiao Tian and the investor, he had to make a choice, "Both of you performed well, but I can only leave one, Changchen, I'm sorry, you don't fully understand the role of Luo Xiaohu, so I can only say sorry."

Ang Lee's words also signified that Zhang Zhen was kicked out of this role. Zhang Zhen didn't have a seizure. After all, he still has a lot of scheming in the entertainment industry for several years. If Ang Lee is just a director from Hong Kong or Taiwan, it's okay to say, but he is not. He is a Hollywood A. director.Are you kidding me? Could it be ordinary people who can join this crew?
Wu Jing won the role without any risk, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also began to enter the filming, but in the filming crew of "The Mummy", Robert Zemeckis encountered a problem.
