Chapter 2294 Great Gift
"Bah, princess, do you dare to think about it? Can the princess of England be from Huaguo? It's terrible not to know common sense about movies!" Megan scolded Xiao Qi for his ignorance, which can be regarded as the anger just now.
"Then what important supporting actress is there?" Xiao Qi asked suspiciously.
"The King's Speech" has a total of three main characters, namely the hero Duke of Yorkshire, the wife of the heroine Duke of Yorkshire, and the speech therapist Lionel.
All three roles were nominated for Oscars, one for Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor or Actress.
Although the latter two were unsuccessful, this does not prevent the two characters from being outstanding.
The wife of the Duke of Yorkshire is the wife of the great director Tim Burton, and her acting skills are very good. Another speech therapist, Lionel, is Captain Barbossa in Pirates of the Caribbean. In fact, she was the Oscar winner in 1997.
And the actor who won the Oscar winner for this film will be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor in next year's Oscar, and then he will be crowned smoothly the year after.
The wonderful acting skills of the three, coupled with a good Oscar-winning director's kneading grasp, coupled with Hollywood's consistent preference for British themes, can "The King's Speech" successfully become the big winner of the Oscars in the following year.
Therefore, after Xiao Qi reacted, he also smiled to himself. Obviously, this is impossible. The Chinese are playing the role of the British, and the familiarity is naturally much worse.
But apart from these three roles, the rest are supporting roles. It can't be said that they are forgotten at a glance, but there is nothing outstanding, let alone a value of 20 million US dollars.
So Xiao Qi was very puzzled, thinking that this girl was cheating money again.
Unexpectedly, Megan was really prepared, "I discussed with the screenwriter and director, if you are willing to invest another 20 million US dollars, then they will write Lionel's wife as a Chinese woman, and then Add more roles to her and make her the fourth protagonist."
Xiao Qi's heart skipped a beat. Subconsciously looked at the pretty kitten-like wife in her arms, "Really? You didn't lie to me? Don't let me find someone, but you casually let her play three or five times. It's considered dismissal."
Megan smiled and said: "What's the relationship between us? You are my rich man, can I deceive you? I said the fourth protagonist is the fourth protagonist, and I will check it out for you... Maybe if she plays well, It is possible to nominate her for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress!"
"Really?" Xiao Qi was suddenly moved.
"Fake." Megan replied without hesitation. "She has never performed in Hollywood, so it is naturally impossible to be nominated. A few more times is fine."
"Well, let me think about it." Xiao Qi said calmly.
But what a smart woman Megan is, she immediately knew that he was thinking, "Ahem. If you want to find someone to join, you should quickly choose people and pay. The more money the director gets, the more roles will be played. "
Xiao Qi smiled wryly and said, "Got it! Megan, if you buy a fourth protagonist for 20 million US dollars, it's really a waste if you don't do business!"
"Haha, I'm not interested in doing business." Seeing that the money is about to come in hand, Meghan is very happy, "Seeing that you have invested so much, after your little love comes to the United States, I will take care of it for you Good for her!"
"Then I would like to thank you very much." Xiao Qi smiled and exchanged some greetings, and then hung up the phone.
As for who the candidate is, how could a smart woman like Megan fail to understand who Xiao Qi would choose.
If it's just an actress, why invest 20 million dollars in her? Just to get a role?
Of course, Xiao Qi is willing to spend so much money only if Xiao Qi's woman plays the role!
From Tang Mingxiang, Megan already knew that Xiao Qi had several wives in the entertainment industry, so she dared to put her mind on Xiao Qi.
But as the saying goes, a mountain is still as high as a mountain.
Megan, a little fox, is good at counting, and Xiao Qi is even better at counting than her.
First one first. The shooting of "The King's Speech" must not be stopped, otherwise it will not be able to catch up with the screening at the end of next year, and thus it will not be able to catch up with the 2011 Oscars.
For the sake of the biggest Oscar winner in 2011, Xiao Qi would definitely not let it go just because of a mere $20 million overspend.
After all, the producers of the film are basically their own people - two of the three shareholders of Hope Pictures are Xiao Qi's wives; and Kiwi Film and Television Group, a well-known Huaguo company, is the family business of the actress' sister.
Once "The King's Speech" wins great honors, it will be of great help to the careers of the wives, and this is the most important reason why Xiao Qi is willing to invest.
Compared with what you get, a mere 30 million US dollars is nothing, and an additional 20 million US dollars is nothing.
Xiao Qi forgot how much the box office of "The King's Speech" was, but even if he lost the investment of 50 million US dollars, it was just a drizzle.
As long as Megan kept begging with a stern face, or went on strike directly, or even asked Taylor and Tang Mingxiang to talk about the matter, Xiao Qi would definitely agree.
But now it seems that Megan's face is not so thick, and she didn't let her good friends Taylor and Tang Mingxiang show up. Presumably she also knows that she spends a lot of money, so she is sorry to trouble her two friends to intercede.
It is also for this reason that Megan came up with the idea of exchanging important roles for follow-up investment.
In order to come up with this method, Megan, the screenwriter, and the director spent a lot of effort. The rationality of the plot alone was discussed many times before it was roughly settled.
Originally, Xiao Qi was going to continue to invest in it, but when he saw such a benefit, the young man naturally accepted it.
The boy's first reaction was to let the queen sister play this role. After all, because of Xiao Qi in this life, Qiao Guoer only won the award for the best actress in a TV series in China, and she didn't get any awards for the big screen. And in the future, the queen sister who will take care of the children, I am afraid that she will spend less time making movies.
It is rare that there is such a person who deserves the title of "Sister Actress", Xiao Qi naturally wants to push her to play the role.
But he immediately realized that Qiao Guoer was pregnant with a baby and was due to give birth next month. Taking care of the baby and recovering after giving birth, it would take at least half a year.
Besides, Qiao Guoer manages such a large film and television group now, how can he have the time to delay for half a year just for a movie?
Besides, even if she can let go of the kiwi fruit business, what about the baby?
Not long after he was born, he threw the baby in Huaguo, and then went to the United States to make a movie?
Who dares to say that to the queen sister, she must be beaten up by her.
Therefore, Qiao Guoer is not a suitable candidate.
The same reason also applies to Li Shaozhi and Feng Kexin. Both women have sweethearts to take care of, so why do they care about filming?
Then only Song Jiejie and Du Feixing are suitable for the rest.
I heard Megan talk about the roles of the supporting actress. This woman is set to be a gentle and considerate character, so the fox is not suitable for a female star, but this delicate and elegant beauty in her arms is more fit some.
Although Du Feixing's height is only about 160 centimeters, it is not a big problem to wear taller shoes.
While thinking about it, Xiao Qi gently patted Du Fei Xing's creamy buttocks, "Xing'er."
"Hmm~~" Du Feixing didn't fall asleep either, but she was a little dazed. After all, just now Xiao Qi scored twice, but she has blossomed and died dozens of times. Can't help but not defeated.
"Just now a friend of mine called and talked about something..."
Xiao Qi carefully explained the arrangement of "The King's Speech" and Meghan.
Du Feixing was dazed at the beginning, but later her eyes were like stars, and her heart was beating constantly, showing that she was very excited.
No wonder.
Anyone who acts in a movie, who would not want to go to Hollywood to make a movie?
In this world, Hollywood represents the holy land of the film industry, a place that actors, directors and other practitioners from any country want to conquer.
Now Xiao Qi gave her such a good opportunity, and said that this is a literary film aimed at the Oscars, which suits Du Feixing's appetite.
But after thinking about it, Du Feixing still shook her head and said, "I'm not going...I went to America, who will accompany you? Jiejie is busier than me~~"
Her tone was very firm, obviously not a polite word.
In fact, Du Feixing's heart for fame and fortune was not strong in the first place. Although he was tempted for a while, he thought of her husband who was more important to him, and immediately changed his mind.
Xiao Qi smiled, "This opportunity is rare, and there is a producer watching over there. This woman is the daughter of my partner, and she is a very nice person. You go to experience the attitude and process of making movies in Hollywood. You will only benefit."
"I still won't go." Du Feixing smiled, "Acting can be done anytime, but my husband needs me to accompany him now."
"Snapped!"
Xiao Qi took a pat on her buttocks, "Am I the kind of person who needs my wife to accompany me every day to survive? Anyway, I also have things to do, so I'm not idle all day long, okay? Wife, you Tell me, aside from these, it’s up to you whether you want to go or not.”
"Ok……"
Du Feixing thought about it for a moment, then tapped Fenzhen: "I still want to go and see it. I have acted in plays for more than ten or twenty years. When I am about to retire, it is good to have this opportunity."
"That's good." Xiao Qi smiled, "Let's take a good rest for a few days, and then you can go to Hollywood! After you come back from filming, you are ready to have a baby!"
"Oh~~"
Du Feixing's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
Compared to going to Hollywood, Xiao Qi said to give her a baby, this is what the cool and graceful beauty is most looking forward to! (to be continued ~^~)
