Chapter 1971 The Great Gold Robbery

"American Legendary Life ()" Find the latest chapter!

Two weeks later.

Hollywood, DreamWorks.

Li Zitao and his agent, Heidi.

Let's go to the private office of the great director, Martin Rhett.

"Director Martin." Heidi knocked on the door.

He opened a small crack and put his head in to watch.

Martin Rhett, who was sitting behind the office, was thinking about the script and casting. When he saw Heidi, who looked like a turtle, he smiled dumbly: "Come in."

"Director Martin, Bruce is here." Heidi straightened up, opened the door and said with a flattering smile.

The Martin Ritter in front of him is a long-established Hollywood director.

One of the most powerful paper men at DreamWorks.

And I am a new agent who has joined for less than one month.

There is also a new actor who has also joined for less than one month...

Oh, I forgot to mention, he is still a minority!

Just knowing that she would be hosted by Martin Rhett today made Heidi confused and excited.

Seeing him in person at this time, the excitement subsided instantly, leaving only uneasiness and nervousness.

The class difference between the two is huge, how could Heidi ignore it!

"Bruce, we meet again." He raised his hand to signal the two of them to take a seat, and Martin picked up the script on the table.

"This is a new script I'm going to shoot. Take a look."

Heidi looked startled, then burst into ecstasy, grabbed the script and quickly stuffed it into Li Zitao's arms.

Then I realized that I had wrinkled the script because I used too much force, and I hurriedly tried to smooth it out with my hands.

"Hey!" Li Zitao picked up the script speechlessly and said calmly: "Relax."

The name "The Great Train Robbery" sounds very vulgar.

Because there are so many movies about train robbers.

People have long since lost interest in such films.

Not only movie fans, but also investors, distribution and theaters no longer favor it.

If it were 25 years ago, there might still be a market.

As someone who has lived through that era, Martin should know this, right?

"Worried that the subject matter is not novel enough to attract the audience?" Martin looked at him calmly.

"No, Director Martin, Bruce is just thinking about the script. He is very talented..."

"yes."

Heidi's explanation suddenly disappeared, and Li Zitao's affirmative answer made it impossible for her to explain any more.

Martin stared directly at him, and the atmosphere became depressing.

Heidi was sitting on pins and needles, thinking about how to alleviate the situation at hand.

A hearty smile suddenly appeared, and Martin laughed and said, "Your temper is to my liking!"

"I just don't want to lie!" Li Zitao said.

"Honesty is valuable, kid, and I like your honesty."

Hearing the other party call him "child", Li Zitao almost couldn't help but refute him.

Calculating their ages carefully, Li Zitao seems to be a few years older than him, 'Child? ’

“You are right to be concerned, but that is for others.

The company has decided to secretly film this new script and I am selecting suitable roles. Are you interested? "

"What kind of role is it?" Li Zitao opened the script, intending to see what made the other party so confident.

"The second male lead, the protagonist's assistant, is also the most capable robber in the film."

The story takes place at the end of the 19th century, which was the glorious period of the railway era.

Every day there are trains and goods running on the railway, and workers working hard to build new railways.

Li Zitao is a railway worker and has great leadership among Chinese workers.

During a conflict with local indigenous people, his skills aroused the interest of his boss.

Later, his boss called him to the car in the most active office and asked him if he wanted to change his destiny.

If he can complete the tasks assigned to him, he will receive a huge reward.

The huge sum of 1,000 yuan made him excited and he agreed to the boss's conditions.

Two days later, the improvised team appeared in the carriage again.

The person who serves as the captain is the boss’s security captain.

The mission is to send each other's carriages safely back to New York.

There were 5 large boxes inside, all filled with gold.

But no one except the boss knew this. When they saw the box, it had been sealed and locked.

Everyone can imagine the next plot, various crises, troubles, conflicts and intrigues within the team.

Finally, when they were about to arrive in New York, they encountered a group of powerful robbers.

The security captain was injured and there were heavy casualties.

At the last moment, the character played by Li Zitao sacrificed his own determination and used trickery and his own strength to kill the enemy, but he also died due to the heavy weight on his hand.

Before he closed his eyes, New York City came into view, "I have fulfilled my promise!"

To be honest, the final arrangement of the film was far beyond Li Zitao's expectations.

This kind of plot and dialogue, as well as the final words, undoubtedly sublimate the character.

It can be said that Li Zitao, who entered the spotlight at the last moment, will be more memorable than the protagonist.

"Can I ask, who wrote this script?" Li Zitao was very curious.

"He is a newly recruited Chinese editor in the editorial department. This film can be said to be tailor-made for you. I think you should be able to see it."

"Yes."

Martin's summary is already very polite. To be precise, he, the nominal second male lead, is more like the male lead.

Because, in almost all important and highlight moments, the camera focuses on him.

"So, you agreed!"

"Would I disagree?"

Li Zitao stood up, smiled and extended his hand, saying, "I'm looking forward to joining this great film."

Lee in this film can be said to be the first film to establish a tall imagination for Chinese Americans.

Only those with a weak brain will refuse.

"The crew still needs a week to prepare. I hope you can become familiar with the plot and remember all the lines during this time."

"Also, I report to the acting training class every day. I am responsible for the film!"

Putting a newcomer in such an important role, even if it was a company decision, would be a huge risk for Martin.

It can be said that he is gambling with his reputation.

The bet is that Li Zitao will give a wonderful performance and live up to this role, making it unforgettable for the audience.

If he fails, his reputation and achievements will be severely damaged.

Perhaps even his position within the company will be shaken.

"I will." Li Zitao's confident reply did not reassure Martin.

The only thing that gives him hope is that his acting skills will be wonderful.

It was this assurance from Evan: "Whether this film is successful or not, you will be offered the position of production executive."

That's right, Martin was not willing to take this risk because of his love for talent or other reasons.

After all, this requires him to bet half his life's honor.

If there is not a big enough benefit, who will take the risk?

However, Martin suddenly became more curious about Bruce's origins.

He won't believe Evan's nonsense reason of "adjusting the company's personnel ratio, diversification, and internationalization."
