In 2005, he began to direct the crime action film "Fast and Furious" series. So far, he has directed three films in this series...

After hanging up the phone from Liu Yifei, Yang Hao began to multitask.

While scouting the location for the movie "Super Body", I was thinking about the two upcoming brothers, James Wan and Lin Yibin.

If you just want to stay within the confines of China, make movies and TV series, and enjoy a relatively comfortable life, then you can ignore these two brothers.

You want to film a movie script I wrote?

Haha, I'm sorry, I won't sell it because I want to keep it for myself. If I don't have time this year, I'll keep it until next year. If I don't have time next year, I'll keep it until the year after next.

For example, regarding the movie script "Interstellar" that you are interested in, I actually completed the first draft in 2009, the final draft in 2010, and completed the registration in Hollywood, and now it is 2013.

Since I have already waited three years, I don’t mind waiting another three years.

However, my buddy's goal is the stars and the sea, and he must conquer Hollywood, so these two people must win over each other.

You know, they have all been working together in the United States for more than ten years, and they already know all the rules and connections in Hollywood.

Therefore, Yang Hao believes that even if he is not willing to sell the "Interstellar" movie script to them, then everyone must have a good relationship.

When it comes to Hollywood, this is basically a help. After all, everyone is of the same origin and species.

At 11 o'clock at noon, we arrived at Yongle Market, the third location scouting site for the movie "Super Body". Yang Hao was busy with a camera. Liu Yifei came, followed by two Chinese Hollywood directors, Lin Yibin and James Wan. .

Since we have had brief contact with each other at the Academy Awards ceremony before, it is not too unfamiliar for Yang Hao and James Wan and Lin Yibin to meet this time.

After everyone met and exchanged simple greetings, a few people sat down at the [Golden Fairy Fish Ball Shop] next to Yongle Market, ready to chat while eating.

Lin Yibin was born in Taipei. He came to the United States with his parents when he was a teenager. He is very familiar with Yongle Market and has come here often since he was a child.

So, as soon as the man entered the store, he spoke his very authentic Hokkien and ordered the dishes.

"Boss, I'm sorry, could you please give us an order? Well, I told you to write down, one each of three-cup chicken, ginger duck, Wanluan pig's feet, golden shrimp balls, vegetable preserved eggs, and crab rice cakes. In addition, , bring over 4 more cases of beer.”

"OK!"

Originally, six special dishes were nothing, after all, only six people came in and sat down.

But when the store owner heard that he actually asked to bring 4 boxes of beer, he was overjoyed. This was a big customer, and ordinary drinkers would not dare to drink like this.

So he agreed, and immediately went to work, first delivering menus to the kitchen, and then going to the house next door to borrow beer, because Lin Yibin asked for 4 boxes of beer, and the store owner simply didn't have enough stock.

"Hello, I am Liu Yifei!"

At first, Liu Yifei was a little nervous because when Yang Hao came to work, there was another beautiful woman accompanying her. Judging from her temperament and figure, she was basically his type.

But when Liu Yifei saw that the beautiful woman in front of her was flirting with the fat Yu Dong, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Not bad, she and Yang Hao probably have nothing to do with each other!

Because although Yang Hao is a pretty person and a scumbag, his bottom line as a human being is still very clear, and his friends’ wives must not be bullied!

"Oh, hello Liu Yifei, I am Yang Jinhua, a native of Baodao.

Because Director Yang Hao and President Yu Dongyu were not familiar with Taipei, they hired me to drive for them and act as a temporary guide. "

To be honest, Yang Jinhua was suddenly a little nervous. In the past, Oscar-winning actresses were basically out of reach, that is, they could be seen in movie posters and on the movie screen. They were so glamorous that they could be seen in movie posters and on the movie screen. I didn’t expect to see them today. Alive.

And it's so beautiful.

"Oh, Miss Yang, thank you!

Originally, I was still worried that Yang Hao might be filming here in Baodao because he was not familiar with the place. Even if he had an idea in his mind about how the movie should be shot and what kind of scene it should be shot in, he might not be able to find a place. .

Now that I have you, I feel relieved. "

Maybe it was because she was in a happy mood. At this moment, Liu Yifei was generous and decent. She poured a glass of water for Yang Jinhua with a smile, and then talked eloquently: "Ms. Yang, you are also an actor. I think you look familiar."

"Yes, yes, I have acted in several good TV series before."

"for example?"

"Queen of the Lost Dogs!"

"Ah...it turns out that you acted in the classic Taiwanese drama "The Lost Dog Queen"?"

…

While Liu Yifei was chatting with Yang Jinhua, Yang Hao had already discussed cooperation with Wen Ziren and Lin Yibin, who were straightforward.

"Director Yang Hao, maybe Liu Yifei has already gotten angry with you. The purpose of our coming here is very simple. We saw a movie script "Interstellar" in Hollywood. I thought it was very good. We are interested in buying this movie script. Come down, I don’t know what conditions you have here.”

As expected of someone who has seen the world in Hollywood, Lin Yibin speaks very well.

When talking about cooperation with Yang Hao, he didn't even ask you whether the movie script would be sold? But what are the conditions for you to sell this movie script to us?

"hehe…"

Yang Hao thought quietly and laughed softly.

"Director Lin, Director Wen, when you came to Treasure Island this time, didn't you say you were going to have fun for four or five days? Regarding our cooperation, within these four or five days, we can discuss it successfully at any time. And now, the most important thing is lunch.”

"No, Director Yang Hao, we can wait for lunch."

Although Wen Ziren is not too tall and his voice is not very loud, he seems to be quite steady in his words and actions.

"Director Yang, the food has been served. We won't miss this for a while. Just tell me, how much is the transfer fee for the movie script of "Interstellar"? Otherwise, we will directly give you the top-notch Hollywood screenwriting instructions. Price go?"

"Um…"

Seeing that both famous directors started talking, Yang Hao stopped holding the wine glass and said with a smile: "Director Wen, can I tell you a story?
