On January 3rd, after watching a movie in a theater in Tsim Sha Tsui, Bruce Willis was shocked when he came out of the show. "It's so cool! It's a different kind of cool than John Wick, John Wick, and Hurricane Rescue."

!”

"Such a blockbuster, big scenes, big explosions... shocking!"

Watching Speed ​​​​with Bruce was a middle-aged white man, his potential manager Johnny. At this moment, Johnny couldn't help but nod, "The current Hong Kong movies are really shocking in terms of action scenes. No wonder every one of them is shocked."

The series can bomb Europe and the United States."

"Bruce, it seems that this New Year's Day holiday, you specially flew to Hong Kong Island to watch director Zhao's new film. It is a wonderful travel experience."

Bruce smiled and nodded, "I'm just running at a life-and-death speed. I won't run in vain this time. By the way, I want to visit that Zhao... Do you think I have a chance to meet him with my current popularity?"

At this stage, Bruce Willis is far from being a classic Hollywood tough guy on screen, an action movie hunk who can chase after Stallone, Schwarzenegger and others.

He attended a formal acting school and studied acting. He first participated in a stage play in 1977 as a stuntman. In 1979, he began to act as a cameo in TV dramas. It was not until 1985 that he was lucky enough to star in a film (Blue Moonlight Detective Agency).

The TV series Blue Moonlight was broadcast one season after another for four consecutive years from 1985 to 1988, which built Bruce a lot of fame and reputation.

Then he starred in the movie (Die Hard) in 1988 and received a salary of US$5 million!

Isn’t that still far away now? Blue Moonlight Detective Agency has just finished airing its first season.

On January 3, 1986, Bruce Willis was a rising star in the North American television industry. He was just 31 years old this year. Because of his emergence in the television industry, he attracted the behemoth CAA and sent Johnny to sign him to a management contract.

Of course, before CAA, Bruce also signed agency contracts with other companies, and CAA's current behavior is considered poaching.

Following Bruce's words, Johnny frowned slightly, but still smiled, "There should be a chance, right? That director Zhao, since he has made many beautiful women famous, including Monica, Laura Fonna, Isabelle Adjani, etc.

Europa Rose.”

"He shouldn't only praise actresses. Wasn't the good partner of the protagonist Jack in the previous life and death played by Binny?"

Jet Binny also has a certain reputation in North America. After all, he is a macho man in the free fighting circle.

Are there many macho men who are famous in various sports competitions? For example, Muhammad Ali??

Bruce nodded excitedly, "Then let's go to Zhao's Pictures and give it a try?"

Johnny didn't want to, so he could only nod. He was poaching people but hadn't succeeded yet, so how could he influence Bruce's will at will? He knew that Bruce went to visit Zhao Donghuai just to see if there was a chance to land on the big screen.

After all, Bruce had been working on stage plays and small screens for eight years before he was lucky enough to be the leading actor for the first time.

However, even if he could meet Zhao Donghuai, would Zhao Donghuai be willing to praise him? I'm afraid it's not a prerequisite, but signing Bruce Willis...

This has become a competition with CAA.

But how can Johnny stop this? How can he stop this kind of thing?

………………

Some time later, Zhao's Financial Building in Tsim Sha Tsui.

According to Azhen’s report, there is a North American TV star named Bruce Willis and he went to the studio building to visit him??

Zhao Donghuai is a bit... He has occasionally thought about whether to make a Die Hard series. Of course, he will not direct (Die Hard) himself. He will write a script and let Du Qifeng, Chen Musheng or Lin Zhengying wait for it.

Be a director.

That’s it.

As for the male lead? Jet Binney and Richard Norton are both fine.

He has had such an idea before, but it has not been implemented yet. He is not sure whether the Hollywood Screenwriters Guild has already had this script. After all, in Hollywood, a script can be developed for several years and run for several years before it enters the actual shooting process.

,very common.

Whether it's the story of the Terminator script or the Back to the Future script, they all appeared very early.

He also plans to ask someone to check if there are similar scripts over there. If there are any, he will buy them. If not, then...

Why did Bruce Willis, the male protagonist of the "Alone and Away" series, pop up??

After thinking about it again, Zhao Donghuai smiled and said to Azhen, "Call over there and ask them to come to the Financial Building."

More than half an hour later, Bruce Willis and Johnny, guided by the secretary, entered the 200-square-meter office with a sea view.

As soon as he came in, Bruce bowed his hands and smiled brightly, "Sheng Zhao, it's great to have the opportunity to meet you. Is this kind of etiquette popular in the East? I shouldn't have done anything wrong, right?"

Although he bowed his hands, he spoke authentic English. Bruce is a very pure North American.

Zhao Donghuai laughed loudly, and when he asked his secretary to serve tea, he smiled and said, "Sit down, I am a guest from afar. I still like to make friends."

The two parties sat down and chatted for a while, before Bruce said with expectant eyes, "Sheng Zhao, I wonder if I can have a chance to star in your movie? I have been studying acting for many years, and I have worked in countless bit parts. Last September, I just

Released on TV…”

With these words, Johnny felt constipated.

He knew it would be like this, but he was powerless to stop it.

Ever since action blockbusters, including sci-fi masterpieces such as "Super Body" and "The End of the World", romance masterpieces have swept across Europe and the United States, the prestige and appeal of Zhao Donghuai, a great director, in the North American film industry has really increased step by step.

Not only Johnny Depp, but also Naomi Watts and other young people who have just entered the industry and have not yet entered the industry will come to Hong Kong Island to pursue their dreams.

Zhao Donghuai smiled and looked at Bruce, "You have a good image, but..."

Having said this, he looked at Johnny, who was speechless, but Bruce said politely, "Johnny, can you give me a few minutes?"

Johnny had no choice but to get up and leave.

This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Bruce then said excitedly, "Sheng Zhao, Johnny is a CAA agent. Although they want to poach me, the conditions they are offering are not good, so

He and I don't have many friendships or contracts for the time being."

"The liquidated damages between me and the previous agency were roughly US$1 million, but if Mr. Zhao is willing to use me and thinks highly of me, I can handle that myself."

It was only eight years since he was a part-timer that he got the leading role in a TV series. He was actually very dissatisfied with his previous agency.

Zhao Donghuai nodded, "If I sign you and make you the leading actor, how much salary do you expect?"

Bruce was also unambiguous, "One hundred thousand dollars or two or three hundred thousand dollars will do."

Now he has just gained some fame through the first season of (Blue Moonlight Detective Agency). This is not the moment when his popularity exploded after four years and many seasons.

I started working as a stunt double in stage plays in 1977, and this was already January 1986!

For a person like him, salary and other things are obviously more important than opportunities! After graduating from high school, he worked as a security guard, salesman, restaurant waiter, bartender, etc.

I have been a bit player for eight years!

Zhao Donghuai laughed and said, "Happy cooperation. As long as you sign with my company, within a year, I will give you a contract as a leading actor in a movie. Whether it can become a hit depends on your ability."

Bruce Willis is ecstatic. In fact, he has a TV series contract with the Blue Moonlight Detective Agency series, but this is not a big problem.

………………

After a while, after watching Bruce Willis leave, Zhao Donghuai thought for a while and called out to urge people to check as soon as possible to see if there was any similar script filed in Hollywood.

The protagonist of the original Die Hard movie is here and has been signed by Zhao, so there is no problem in letting him star in advance.

Actually, the first Die Hard movie didn't have a huge box office, it only cost over 100 million US dollars. This refers to the whole world, not North America.

In North America, Die Hard only took in $83 million at the box office.

But the most important thing is that it has made a new action star famous and has a big series. The second and third parts of this big series are worth looking forward to at the box office.

After thinking about it, Zhao Donghuai said to Qiu Shuzhen again, "Azhen, ask Monica to contact Adjani to see if she will come to Hong Kong Island to film..."

In the first Die Hard movie, Bruce Willis actually played a hero who was afraid of pain, was very embarrassed, and had a bad mouth. If his wife hadn't been taken hostage by a gang of gangsters, he would have escaped long ago.

There is still a big gap between him and those classic screen tough guys like Stallone and Schwarzenegger, they are more civilian.

Bruce Willis can definitely play the role. After all, he is a man who worked as a bit player for eight years after studying formal acting. His acting skills are better than those of the current Jet Binnies, including Richard Norton.

It's not that Monica Bellucci and Lola Fonna can't be cast as the heroines. There are very few intimate scenes in this drama. It's just that at this stage, Monica and Lola are too high-ranking for Bruce. They are completely

There is no need for them to play a role that is purely a vase and help newcomers to establish themselves as celebrities.

Well, Isabelle Adjani also promoted Bruce Willis, but she was an outsider. In other words, Adjani's appearance can greatly increase the box office potential.

Double standard, that's it.

There is a ghost story in the previous film, and if Adjani is willing to star in it, the box office will definitely surpass the original Die Hard 1.

In the original version, Bruce, a popular TV star, was pulling in the box office, with various shootouts and big explosions to excite the audience. At this stage, he is not that popular yet!

If Adjani doesn't play, then let Nicole Kidman take the role. 19-year-old Nicole is too young to play the role of 31-year-old Bruce Willis, the daughter-in-law of a Hong Kong police officer? Just put on makeup and act older.

It is said that when Nicole Kidman was around 20 years old, her appearance was at its peak, but her shelf life was a bit short...

Soon, Monica Bellucci came to the Financial Building from her home and said with a bright smile, "Brother Huai, Adjani said that she can play the role, but she has to wait for a while. Her schedule..."

At this point, Monica paused for more than ten seconds and said with a dumbfounded expression, "Adjani is really...I don't know how to evaluate her. Since the romance between ghosts and people has swept across Europe and the United States, someone in Hollywood has offered 3 million US dollars."

Dao asked her to act."

"Then we were almost done talking and it was time to start filming. She broke the contract and ran away again. She thought the script was too boring."

"Following that, she took on another French film and a British film, each with a salary of two to three million US dollars. After all, she has to save money to raise her children. The contract has been signed, so she is more grateful to Brother Huai for bringing her to this point.

worth."

"But……"
