Chapter 453 [Rewards in advance, domestic events]
After the crew's finale banquet, Liang Kun had a supper with Spielberg and David Geffen the next day.
They talked about movies and music. David Geffen found someone to listen to several songs from Liang Kun, but he didn't plan to produce a single, and wanted to give him an EP record. In addition to these two songs, there is also the violin version of "Long Live Life" played by Liang Kun.
The female version of "Chandelier" sung by Ayumi Hamasaki is released separately, and the publicity is not bad. Because the female version will be the ending song of "Happy Death Day", it probably doesn't need to be promoted.
Producer Stewart and first deputy director Kevin both thought the movie would be popular, and said Liang Kun a lot of luxury.
The two bigwigs also think that Liang Kun's songs will also be popular and EP records can be sold. If the reaction is particularly enthusiastic, Geffen will consider publishing an album for him in the next movie.
Liang Kun, like the original agreement, did not participate in the editing of "Happy Death Day". He did not intend to stay in Los Angeles to watch the editing, which was meaningless.
Spieburg was ready to reward Liang Kun without waiting for the release of "Happy Death Day". The two made an appointment to return to the United States at the end of December to attend the premiere of the movie "Munich".
By then, Spieburg can introduce some Hollywood celebrities to him. For newcomers in Hollywood, this is a great benefit and is more useful than getting more pay for filming.
Because the premiere must be some of Speech's friends, Hollywood big names or rising stars.
Liang Kun chats with them, exchanges business cards, and becomes a director and makes new movies or acts after the meeting. The path will become wider. Ordinary actors will not be invited to attend the premiere of famous directors. It is difficult to participate with relationships unless there is a team of great X.
In Hollywood, actors who don’t have a backstage are difficult to become popular for a long time, and their connections are essential.
Liang Kun can't always shoot some low-cost movies in Hollywood. He wants to ensure the box office of blockbusters, but he needs celebrities. He attends a big boss' party and is familiar with big stars, so that big-name stars are willing to star in his movies. Similarly, he met other big directors and he may also play important roles in blockbusters.
Liang Kun graduated from Yenching University for only two months and his career in Hollywood improved.
On August 29, Teresa Palmo moved to Liang Kun's villa with her luggage, with any room to choose from.
Liang Kun has paid the rent for one year, and Teresa doesn't have to worry about anything. The so-called "helping see the house" is just living here and enjoying it. She has no nerve to ask if there is any salary, but Liang Kun has given her a nanny salary.
Many celebrities buy big houses for vacation and will ask nanny to help watch, otherwise many valuable furniture may be stolen. Liang Kun’s villa has no valuables, and he paid Teresa to complete the task. He knew Teresa is very poor now, and he ran to the United States alone after graduating from high school and had no savings at all, and his parents did not support her acting career.
If she doesn't go out to find a part-time job, she will definitely have to save money by relying solely on the supporting actresses in this drama, and her life is under a lot of pressure. With this salary, she can eat something good, and Liang Kun's task of helping her improve her life will be completed.
"Liang, you are the best person I have ever known in my life." Teresa chose the room and said with a smile: "Is it fake to say you have a girlfriend? You are so kind to me, but you actually want me to be your girlfriend, right?"
Assistant Li Renjie pretended to be a wooden man. I can't hear or see, the freedom you give me...
Liang Kun shook his head and smiled and said, "You're thinking too much. I really have a girlfriend and I've lived here. I haven't made my relationship public because my girlfriend is also a celebrity, the kind that is very famous throughout Asia."
Teresa sighed and fantasized that Liang Kun said she was lying to her, and she didn't have a girlfriend and would not return to China. If her assistant just wanted to go back, the development would be more romantic.
Li Renjie complained in his heart: Isn’t it because you don’t make it public because you have several girlfriends?
No matter what, Liang Kun will definitely leave. His roots are not in the United States. He comes here just because the Hollywood movie environment is the best.
Teresa lives here not only with a large place, but also with things to play. Liang Kun bought a game console and a computer desktop computer, which he would not deliberately take away in the space. Originally, there was a TV at home, and if Teresa didn't want to go out to work, she could stay at home and wait for the audition.
She has no skills except acting, and can only work as a waiter in a restaurant or a cafe, and she can't make much money.
Liang Kun and Li Renjie flew back to Yanjing and stayed in the United States for nearly two months. He has no job recently.
He can't be a director in the short term and shoot a second movie, nor can he audition for other roles in the United States. If he does this, he will lose a lot. Now he is just a newcomer, and only after the movie is released can others see his talent, his value will increase.
On the plane, Liang Kun found that the orange mission to help Teresa improve life was completed. It was estimated that Teresa was very happy in the villa.
The mission reward is "Status for the Beauty". Teresa is a beauty-loving person and is very confident in her appearance and figure. It is not surprising that such rewards appear.
Wei Kun and Liang Shuang came to pick him up, first took Li Renjie back to his residence, and then the three of them went to Ziyu Villa together. Wei Kun also lived in Ziyu Villa. His villa was not far from Liang Kun's house, and he could be said to be a neighbor, and the two families could visit each other frequently.
Liang Kun asked: "I haven't been in China for two months. Is there anything big happening?"
"Yes, "Struggle" is almost finished, and "You from the Star" is about to start filming." Liang Shuang smiled and said, "Brother Rui thinks he is going to reach the peak of his life this time, and he said that this drama will definitely become popular."
"You guys went to see him film?"
"I watched it, he did perform well, maybe it was his true performance." Wei Kun admired this rich second generation who pursued his dreams, so he chose to inherit the family business.
Liang Shuang added: "He also praised you for your good writing of the script, and it's so cool to play this male lead who is both hardworking and responsible."
Liang Kun smiled. This magical script was indeed very suitable for Sun Rui's appetite. If it were the original script, he would probably not want to act. Lu Tao's original setting was simply a big SB, a useless giant baby.
Lu Tao cheated on his girlfriend's best friend, and after he was beaten by his stepfather, he was so angry that his father was hospitalized for heart disease and then left. He relied on his relationship to support his backdoor in his career. He begged his stepfather to ask his father for his biological father. Is this really a "struggle"?
When Lu Tao just resigned from Xu Zhisen, his father gave him a very good evaluation. "A vanity and selfish young man has no strength, but his possessiveness and control are greater than that of the old man, and he is stupid."
Liang Kun still remembers that weird ending. Lu Tao, despite his serious illness and still guarding the unfinished project, married Charlene, regardless of his serious illness, and went to France to "struggle".
He also spoke classic lines: "After so much, I finally discovered that you are my only fruit."
A person who shouts all day long to strive and realize his ideals, and finally says that he has no professional ideals, and his ideal is to be with Charlene.
This kind of irresponsible person is really not like a positive person, ruthless and indifferent. He doesn't think anything is wrong with his cheating operations. His attitude towards his two fathers has betrayed his character.
As for why this film is popular in the parallel world? Because it was an era of worse. Chinese domestic TV series are worse than each other. In comparison, the appearance of the actor in "Struggle" is at least very good. Of course, the male lead is not within this category. Many viewers wonder why this actor is so ugly but always plays handsome guy roles?
If there were many well-produced dramas in China at the same time competing with the original "Struggle", it would probably be over. Whether the production cost can be recovered is a question.
The film made by Yingyi Entertainment will not fail, the actor's overall appearance has been upgraded, and the male lead has also become a talented warm man.
Lu Tao is quite responsible. Although he is a bit unrealistic in his career, he finally realized his dream with the help of his own father. Moreover, he has a good relationship with his two fathers, and he never thought of following Xia Lin abroad. This is a major difference between the two.
Tang Qi also made a breakthrough in this drama, playing a villain who seemed to be the Virgin Mary.
Liang Kun believed that she could play well when she wrote the script. On the surface, Mary Sue, but in fact she was a bit of a green tea bitch. Isn’t that Mido in "Cara Lovers"?
When Tang Qi chatted with Liang Kun online, he thought the role was strange when he said that he was acting. Liang Kun heard her telling her how she played it, and she felt that she had acted the desired effect of the show without knowing it. To put it bluntly, she played an annoying role. If the marriage with Lu Tao in the end would be very controversial, and the two of them would be successful in acting before they reached the end.
When Liang Kun was in the United States, he knew the result of the casting of "Struggle" and could chat with friends online.
Wen Zhang still played Xiang Nan, and Li Xiaolu played Yang Xiaoyun, and these two roles did not change. They both acted very well in the original TV series, and the storyline was quite interesting.
Fang Lingshan is Chen Yihan from Wanwan. Like the original version, this character wants a cute girl.
The biggest change is that Jin Dong plays the role of Huazi, and Lu Lu is a Xiangjiang actress who Liang Kun doesn't know. "Pig Head" is played by Li Jiasheng, the official supporting role of Yingyi Entertainment. Li Jiasheng also plays a supporting role in "You From the Stars" and the heroine's agent.
Liang Kun returned home and greeted his parents. "Dad, mom, I'm back."
"You're back. Let's see if I've lost weight." Wang Xiuying stood up from the sofa and looked at Liang Kun from head to toe.
Of course he was not thin, but his hair was a little longer.
Liang Shuang complained: "How could he be thin? He must eat better than us in the United States. He can cook by himself. He took photos online and rented a villa after going to Los Angeles."
Wang Xiuying is no longer stingy. "That's right. Don't let yourself be wronged when you go out."
"I'm living a good life and I've made a lot of money in the United States. Although my salary is not high, I've made a profit in stock trading." Liang Kun said proudly.
"Do you understand the stocks in the United States? Is the risk very high?" Wang Xiuying asked.
“No risk.”
