Hardy Empire 1945

Chapter 162: I want to change some people's stereotypes

Li Gen thanked Hardy and Director Nolan again and left. Nolan looked at Hardy and said, Mr. Hardy, do you want to choose the supporting role 'Carl'?

Hardy waved his hand.

It's up to you to decide, Hardy said.

He is not interested in choosing a supporting actor.

Mr. Hardy, what kind of person do you think is more suitable for a psychic medium, white, black, or South American? Nolan asked again.

Hardy just wanted to talk about black people. It turned out that the psychic in the movie was the black actress Whoopi Goldberg. He suddenly realized that it was 1947, and the status of black people was far lower than that of later generations. Definitely a publicity stunt.

Now that it's publicized, why don't you change yourself?

You can replace the psychic with Tang Ren.

Most Americans now have an impression of the Tang people, most of them still stay in the period when the Qing Dynasty had braids, and the Tang people are portrayed ugly in film and television works, and the image of the Tang people is slandered.

If the psychic medium is replaced by Tangren and filmed in Chinatown, many people can have a new understanding of Tangren.

In the movie, it is necessary to show the mysterious power of the oriental people.

It can even be equipped with a guard who knows Chinese Kung Fu. Of course, this person can appear later to beat the robbers away.

Let the Americans feel that the Tang people are not easy to mess with.

Perhaps in the future, a martial arts movie star like Bruce Lee can be produced, sweeping the martial arts circle in Millikin, and let them know that all Chinese people know kung fu.

Fear and unwillingness to fight thoughts arise in the mind.

This kind of film does not require too much investment. It is estimated that four to five hundred thousand can be made for one film. The plot is simpler, and it is enough to copy The Way of the Dragon.

As for the box office, Hardy doesn’t care, even if it’s all lost, it’s just this little money. Besides, it may not be lost. Now there are about one million Chinese in the United States, and this is also a market.

Hardy said to Nolan, Find an actress from Tang Dynasty as a psychic medium.

Tang people?

Nolan was a little surprised.

In Tang culture,

There is a deep research on mysterious psychics. Europeans and Americans have always felt mysterious about Chinese people. I think it is very suitable to use them. I found a female actor in her 30s and 40s and filmed in Chinatown. Hardy said.

Nolan thought for a while, It's fine to find someone from China, but I'm afraid there will be some trouble in Chinatown.

What's the trouble? Hardy asked.

That's the territory of the Tang gang. The Tang gang is more conservative. I don't know if they'd like us to go in and shoot. Nolan said.

Hardy smiled lightly, Don't worry, Tang Ren will help you over there and I will help you.

After talking about the matter, Hardy left HD Media and went directly to the auction company. Over in Chinatown, he could talk to Bill. Now the Tangren Gang and Los Angeles Company are in a state of peace, and there are still business contacts.

It was easy for Bill to talk to the boss of Tang Dynasty.

But Hardy thought about it. This is a formal business. In fact, Han Yizhen can be asked for help. She can make a phone call more directly than Bill.

Han Yizhen and Irina are both in the auction company, and now both of them have graduated. Han Yizhen majored in architecture, and Irina majored in hosting, and they just graduated this year.

Han Yizhen used to want to be an architect, but after being recruited by Hardy to be the head of an auction company, she gradually fell in love with collecting antiques and decided to continue doing it.

Yizhen, please call the Chinatown Gang and tell them that the HD film company is going to shoot in Chinatown, and I hope they can help coordinate it. Hardy said.

No problem, what movie are you going to shoot? Han Yezhen asked.

Hardy told the plot of Ghost Love to the two women, and both of them were attracted by the plot.

This kind of love scene is the easiest to attract women.

It's really affectionate to guard the woman you love even after the men are dead. I like such a man. Irina said.

French girls have no resistance to love.

Han Yizhen thought of something else, and said quietly, I've seen a lot of Hollywood movies, and all the Tang people in them are relatively obscene characters. Braids, greed, betrayal, and even demonization are all villains. There is no decent one. Every time I see something like this I get angry.

Hadi, this psychic medium must be shown better in this movie. Han Yizhen said.

Don't worry, this psychic is definitely a positive image. It is with her help that Sam and Meili can finally meet and resolve the crisis. I have specially instructed the director to present this character as powerful, mysterious, and full of justice. Haha Dido.

That's good.

Han Yizhen picked up the phone with a smile and called Tang Zheng, the boss of Tang Ren in Los Angeles, and the call was connected quickly.

Han Yizhen told Tang Zheng about Hardy, and Tang Zheng readily agreed.

No problem, you can tell the people from HD Films that they can come over at any time, and if there is anything that needs help, you can tell us.

Hardy thought of something, and said to Han Yizhen: Yizhen, ask Mr. Tang if he knows an actress in his 30s or 40s. I don't think any actress from Tang Dynasty registered with the Actors Union is suitable.

By the way, if there are young people who can kung fu, please help introduce them. There is also a supporting role in the movie. The guards, it is best to be able to fight.

Han Yizhen told Tang Zheng what Hardy had said, and Tang Zheng paused and said, Yizhen, was it Mr. Hardy who spoke just now?

Ah~!

Han Yezhen looked up at Hardy.

The current telephone microphone is quite loud, and Tang Zheng's words can be heard by Hardy.

Han Yezhen's eyes asked Hardy how to answer.

Hardy thought for a while, reached out to take the phone, and said, Hello, Mr. Tang Zheng, I'm Jon Hardy.

Hello, Mr. Hardy, I am Tang Zheng. I have known you for a long time, but I have never had the chance to see you. Tang Zheng said in a very respectful tone.

Tang Zheng is in Los Angeles, so he naturally knows more about the underworld situation in Los Angeles than others. Although the current Los Angeles company is led by Bill, the real underground emperor is Jon Hardy.

The current Los Angeles Company is the most well-deserved number one gang in Los Angeles. It first wiped out the Spanish Gang, then the North Shore Gang, and many other unknown small gangs.

Now the Mexicans and the Chinese are relatively big forces, and they can only survive in the cracks. Fortunately, the Chinese are mainly active in Chinatown, and there is no conflict of interest with the Los Angeles Gang, and there are some places for cooperation, so they live in peace.

However, this does not guarantee that the Tang Gang can sit back and relax. There is a lion lying next to the rabbit. The lion can swallow the rabbit at any time, and the rabbit is naturally trembling every day. This feeling is very bad.

After something happened to Han Yizhen last time, Tang Zheng helped her. Later, he found out that it was Hardy who helped her, so he paid attention to it. Later, Han Yizhen got an auction company, and the boss was Jon Hardy. Tang Zheng knew that this niece must be with her. Mr. Hardy made the connection.

In fact, in his heart, he has been thinking about the development of the Tangren Gang. He knows that it is difficult for the Tangren Gang to grow, but he must ensure its survival.

These days, he has considered whether to ask Han Yizhen to talk about it and get closer, but it feels too abrupt.

Today when Han Yizhen called, Tang Zheng heard a man talking next to him, and the man's tone was very indifferent to Han Yizhen, Tang Zheng immediately guessed that the person on the other side might be Mr. Hardy, so he asked tentatively.

I haven't dared to take it for a long time, but this time I need Mr. Tang's help, and I have to trouble Mr. Tang. Hardy said.

There's no trouble with such a trivial matter. Mr. Hardy wants to find a suitable actress, right? I have a suitable candidate to recommend. Tang Zheng said.

Oh, who?

It's an actress from Huaguo. Her stage name is 'Butterfly'. She has filmed many movies in Huaguo. She is known as the number one beauty in Huaguo. She is 40 years old this year. She just came to Los Angeles this year because of the civil war. It is suitable for this role in your movie. Tang Zheng said.

Hardy was taken aback.

Butterfly.

The first beauty of the Republic of China.

Hardy had heard of Butterfly's name in her last life. She was very famous in China and had filmed many movies. However, she was taken over by Dai Li. Butterfly didn't escape until Dai Li died. It is said that she settled in Toronto, Canada.

When did Dai Li die? It seems to be 1946. Now that Butterfly came to Los Angeles, the time is right.

Then Mr. Tang, let me know and ask her to come to HD Films for an interview to see if she is suitable. Hardy said.

No problem, by the way, you still need a guard who can fight, right? There are quite a few people like this around me, why don't I ask a few people to come over and have a look? Tang Zheng said.

That's better, let's go together.

Then it will be in the afternoon, what do you think?

no problem.

Hanging up the phone, Tang Zheng had a look of excitement on his face. He was really lucky this time. He was able to get in touch with Hardy. You can survive in Los Angeles safely, and you don't have to worry about it anymore.

He didn't dare to neglect, and immediately ordered someone to inform Die Die, and gathered all the young people in the gang who could fight, and picked out a few with the best looks.

Hardy hung up the phone and looked up to find Han Yezhen looking at him with burning eyes.

What's wrong?

Han Yezhen asked excitedly: Uncle Tang introduced you to the movie Queen Butterfly, right?

Hardy shrugged, I don't know, he said his name is Butterfly, and he is a famous actress in Huaguo.

That's about it, Hardy, I really like her. I've seen a lot of movies starring her, but I didn't expect her to come to Los Angeles. You're going to interview her this afternoon, right? Can I go and see it with you? Han Yezhen asked excitedly.

Hehe, of course, it's almost noon, why don't we go have a good meal first, and then go to the movie company together after dinner?

Okay. Han Yezhen nodded.

Irina next to him hurriedly interjected, I'm going too.

Of course I have you, let's go eat. Hardy said with a smile.

Irina immediately smiled.

On the other side, Tang is looking for someone to inform Die Die, who is pleasantly surprised to hear that there is a movie looking for Tang Ren's role, and it is HD Films, which has recently emerged.

Miss Butterfly, Boss Tang asked me to ask you if you are willing to go to audition, if you are willing to go down there.

Yes, I will go there in the afternoon. Butterfly agreed.
