"Boss!" Yuan Heping quietly pushed Zhang Dongcheng, which brought him back to his senses.

"Sorry! Sorry!" Zhang Dongcheng immediately apologized to everyone, and then said to this Miss Yang, "Miss Yang, it's a pleasure to meet you. To be honest, I used to watch your movies often! I don't know you Is there anything going on in America this time?"

His words immediately made everyone cold.

After all, Yuan Heping introduced him with great fanfare just now. Among them is the purpose of this Miss Yang's coming to the United States!

"Mr. Smith is too polite!" Michelle smiled slightly, brushed the broken hair next to her ear, and said, "I was invited to audition for actors in Tomorrow's Empire this time!"

"Empire of Tomorrow?" Zhang Dongcheng is still thinking about that movie at this moment, and now his mind is full of letting Miss Yang in front of him play Trinity.

Because this Miss Yang is a well-known female hit star! I believe that someone has already guessed who this Miss Yang is, yes, she is the former Miss Malaysia, the most famous martial arts actress in Hong Kong, Michelle Yeoh!

In fact, Michelle Yeoh did audition for Tomorrow's Empire this year. And got the chance to play the heroine. It is also with this movie that Michelle Yeoh was able to break into Europe and the United States and become an international-level actor.

This Tomorrow's Empire is the eighteenth part of the longest-running movie series in the United States, 007!

"Miss Yang, did you pass your audition?" Zhang Dongcheng asked a little nervously. If you pass, then you have no chance. From the first time he met Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Dongcheng decided that she was the perfect candidate for Trinity!

"The audition has passed, but the results don't seem to be optimistic! The crew asked me to wait for the notification!" Michelle Yeoh shook her head and replied.

Generally, such an answer means that you have been passed!

"Great!" Zhang Dongcheng immediately became excited when he heard the words, and he didn't feel right when he said the words. He didn't pass the audition, but he said it was great. Isn't this obviously misleading?

Sure enough, not only Michelle Yeoh and the two men beside her showed expressions of dissatisfaction, but even Yuan Heping frowned, secretly blaming Zhang Dongcheng for speaking without thinking.

The Chinese are the best at saving face. Zhang Dongcheng's words seem to be gloating, which makes people feel unreasonable.

"Sorry, Ms. Yang, that's not what I meant!" Zhang Dongcheng explained incoherently: "I mean, since you failed the audition over there, would you consider joining my crew and becoming the female lead in the new film?" Where's the main character?"

In fact, although Tomorrow Empire is an opportunity for Michelle Yeoh to enter the European and American markets, this movie is really not that good. Basically, it's because there is a 007 sign hanging on it.

With an investment of more than 100 million U.S. dollars, the global box office is only less than 340 million U.S. dollars. And the reviews for the movie were mixed.

Zhang Dongcheng's words made everyone in the room think differently.

Although Zhang Dongcheng’s works are not many, including the tuner, there are only three works in total. But he is an excellent director, which is recognized by everyone, and this excellence is not only reflected in the talent of filming. It is also reflected in his unparalleled sense of responsibility.

Starting from the tuner, Zhang Dongcheng encountered different twists and turns in each of his films, but he never gave up, let alone disappoint investors.

Every time a movie is released, it can cause a hot effect and make investors a lot of money. It can be said that Zhang Dongcheng's name already has a certain degree of box office guarantee. Otherwise, his fund would not have sold so fast.

You know, according to the previous information from East West Bank, the fund with a current position of 20 million US dollars has sold more than 14 million. I believe that the remaining less than 6 million will be sold smoothly in the near future!

Michelle Yeoh looked suspiciously at Yuan Heping, as if asking for his opinion.

Yuan Heping started to look up and down after hearing what Zhang Dongcheng said. I have to admit that Michelle Yeoh is really suitable for the role of Trinity. Just in the part of the play, it surpasses the Hollywood actress by a lot.

Trinity, from the name, is the Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, which has a special and important meaning. Of course, it is most normal for such a character to be played by a Caucasian.

However, Zhang Dongcheng is not Caucasian!

Helping Chinese actors go to the world has naturally become the duty of Zhang Dongcheng, a big director who is now rising in Hollywood.

Moreover, the Trinity is not a Western patent.

Buddhism has the so-called Three Jewels: Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. Taoism has the so-called three qi of Xuan, Yuan, and Shi, and the Sanqing, which is the incarnation of the original Tianzun. Confucianism is not a religion in the true sense, but when it talks about the primordial universe, it also believes that "Tai Chi Yuan Qi" is "combining the three into one", which is also the Eastern Trinity.

Therefore, Zhang Dongcheng did not have any psychological burden to use a Chinese actor for the role of Trinity.

Since 1984, Michelle Yeoh has joined the film industry. She has filmed countless films so far, and she also has no problem with her acting skills.

For a while, even Yuan Heping felt that Zhang Dongcheng's vision was too vicious. His whim-like idea, choosing Michelle Yeoh as the heroine, can indeed add a lot to The Matrix.

"Ba Ye, what do you think?" Seeing that Michelle Yeoh did not speak, Zhang Dongcheng asked Yuan Heping beside him.

"Very good! I also think Miss Yang is very suitable!" Yuan Heping nodded in agreement.

"Then what does Miss Yang mean?" Zhang Dongcheng stared at Michelle Yeoh and asked.

"Me?" Michelle Yeoh lowered her head and pursed her lips with a slight smile, then raised her head again and said, "Sorry, Mr. Smith, your invitation was too sudden, and I think I also need to know about the type of this movie! I will think about it later. !"

Zhang Dongcheng can't wait to pull Michelle Yeoh into his chariot. At this stage, there are few female stars in the world who can compare with Michelle Yeoh.

"That's it!" Zhang Dongcheng recklessly pulled Michelle Yeoh and began to introduce the general plot of The Matrix to her.

Michelle Yeoh, who couldn't laugh or cry, had to listen patiently to Zhang Dongcheng's narration, but after listening, her expression became serious.

I have to say that in all aspects, The Matrix surpasses the Empire of Tomorrow. The reason why Tomorrow's Empire is more important in Michelle Yeoh's heart is because it bears the signboard of the 007 sequel.

But now after listening to Zhang Dongcheng's narration, Michelle Yeoh is tempted. Having filmed many films, she can naturally distinguish between good and bad scripts. The Matrix is ​​undoubtedly a good, even great film.

If you join in by yourself, you will not only be able to complete the established plan to enter Europe and the United States, but even become a world-renowned female star.

"Miss Yang, what do you think? Do you accept my invitation?" Zhang Dongcheng took the water Yuan Heping poured for him, and gulped it down. That impatient look, as if if Michelle Yeoh didn't give an answer, his eyes would not move away for a moment.

"This..." Michelle Yeoh showed embarrassment, whether it was The Matrix or The Empire Of Tomorrow. They are both films that Michelle Yeoh did not dare to think about before, but now, these two films, both called Empire, have extended an olive branch to her at the same time.

"Ziqiong, from a business point of view, I hope you can join the crew of The Matrix, because I am the action director of this movie after all. From a personal point of view, I also hope you can join in!" Yuan Heping has since After joining Dongcheng Films, it was the first time to recruit other actors for Zhang Dongcheng. Even at the expense of playing the emotional card.

When Michelle Yeoh's eyes shifted to her side, Yuan Heping continued to say earnestly: "The boss has introduced the general plot for you just now about the movie Matrix, I believe you can tell it is an excellent movie." , even in Hollywood! But there is another piece of news from me, I’m telling you at the risk of offending the boss, this movie is going to be shot in three parts from the beginning, um, yes , trilogy!"

The so-called risk of offending Zhang Dongcheng is naturally a joke. Don't forget, Zhang Dongcheng is sitting beside him now.

Yuan Heping's last sentence completely became the last straw that broke the camel's back! Three movies, trilogy, under normal circumstances, the sequel will have its own role without accident, and even, there will be more and more!

Such a guarantee is much better than being a vase in Tomorrow Empire!

Michelle Yeoh's vacillating eyes finally became firm, and said: "Okay, Mr. Smith, I accept your invitation. Participate in The Matrix!"

The heroine has been found! Zhang Dongcheng felt like a big stone fell to the ground. I finally breathed a sigh of relief!

If there is only one The Matrix, then Michelle Yeoh will definitely be inclined to the 007 Tomorrow Empire movie. After all, this movie has been filmed in more than a dozen films in succession. No matter how **** the filming of Empire of Tomorrow is, it will still be supported by the popularity accumulated before.

But The Matrix is ​​different. Even though Zhang Dongcheng's previous experience is indeed very dazzling, no one can guarantee that his film will still be successful. It can be said that Michelle Yeoh agreed to Zhang Dongcheng's request, taking a great risk.

After Michelle Yeoh personally agreed to join, Zhang Dongcheng couldn't wait to prepare the contract and signed with her.

Now is the time to compete for actors, who knows if the crew of "Tomorrow's Empire" will come out to compete with him if the signing is one day late? It's better to quickly make things an established fact.

Michelle Yeoh did not refuse, after the agent and the lawyer reviewed the contract, and found no problems, she signed her name directly!
