Chapter 1087 Come and Accept the Invitation (1)

Downey explained his purpose!

He is here to invite Ji Feng to join him in Iron Man 2, which he is filming, and it is not just a cameo, but a role with some scenes, which was added temporarily by director Jon Favreau.

As for why he is a Chinese, of course, it is for the rising mainland market. The successful opening of the Olympic Games has made people all over the world know China again, and the development of China in the past two years has been obvious to all. China is now surpassing Japan and becoming the star of Hollywood movies. The second largest ticket warehouse.

In the past two years, many Hollywood pioneers have come to China to try, and they have achieved good results without exception. The Hollywood directors and stars who come to China are smart people, and the business feeling that they have not come to China is obviously half a beat slower. , I haven't realized where the movie box office market will be in the future, I haven't understood that China's movie box office has become too big to be ignored, and the most important thing is the potential. The rapid development speed of the Chinese market can be seen by fools. The potential at the end also means that whoever can open up the Chinese market now and leave his shadow in the Chinese market will have an inestimable future return.

So, how big is the Chinese movie box office? How fast is the growth?

Well, this question does not match the theme of this book, so I won't say more. Interested friends can check the information on their own. You just need to know that 2008 is an important turning point for the Chinese film market.

Of course, most of Hollywood haven't realized this. It can be reflected from their attitude towards Chinese actors. Of course, MCU is not included, because Iron Man has also achieved good box office in the mainland. They were surprised to find out It turns out that American superhero stories are also very popular in China, and after their investigation, Downey's popularity in China has also been greatly improved, which has made the upper MCU level, including the director, aware of the potential of the mainland market.

So before the shooting of Iron Man 2, they set their sights on mainland China, and according to Hollywood's usual practice, they used well-known actors wherever they were targeting, just like they used to add Japanese and Korean actors to the film. , they also want to find a Chinese actor.

However, after choosing for a long time, it is not suitable, because well-known actors like Jackie Chan are too old and do not meet the setting, and the rest of the people have no influence in the United States. Dilemma.

At this time, when Downey, who had met Ji Feng several times, looked at the character's needs, Ji Feng's figure appeared in his mind unconsciously.

So Downey said to the director, "How about Ji Feng!"

Jon Favreau's eyes lit up when he heard the name, and after thinking about it carefully, Ji Feng is really suitable, not to mention the character requirements and settings, his reputation in China and even in Asia is terrifying enough, the most important thing is that he He is famous enough in the United States. He has become quite popular in the past two years. Even someone who doesn't watch basketball knows that Hollywood also likes his looks. Except for his lack of acting experience, he is perfect.

"Just him! Immediately contact Ji Feng's agent!" The director thought about it for two minutes and then made the decision. What the hell is his acting experience? I don't know how many NBA stars have crossed borders and acted in movies. This is not a problem.

And the benefits of finding Ji Feng are obvious enough. This is a win-win outcome.

However, things didn't go well, because after the invitation was handed over, it was sunk in the sea, and it took two days to wait for a reply...

So the director couldn't sit still, so Downey went there this time.

"Jon agreed to my proposal, but you haven't responded, so I volunteered to invite you in person." Downey said, "How are you interested?"

"So it is." Ji Feng nodded. He didn't receive the invitation. This was not James' self-invitation, because he had told James at the beginning of the season that he wanted to play with peace of mind this season and did not want to participate. There are many programs, and all entertainment-related things don’t need to be shown to him. All invitations are politely rejected. He doesn’t need so much exposure now. The importance of this season to him is self-evident, so that share The invitation letter is probably still eating ashes in a corner of the office.

"You are playing a more important role this time, not a dispensable role that only appears in the mainland version and is deleted in other versions, man, believe me, and this role is 23, 4 years old Asian youth…”

Seeing that Ji Feng was a little moved, Downey quickly added to the fire, first to dispel Ji Feng's doubts, and then began to talk about this character in detail.

But Ji Feng was thinking of something else. He did not reject the filming. The scene of O'Neal's cameo has become a classic, and he also went to see the slam dunk of Mr. Qiao, and there was Barkley in it. Such a superstar cameo, so Ji Feng himself does not reject the cameo role. Anyway, he has done singing, dancing and writing lyrics.

Moreover, the team is basically at home recently, and the time is not bad. Besides, Downey has come in person. He can actually let the widow sister bring a message, but he still came by himself. This way of giving face also reflects his importance, so Seeing that he can still go on.

Teacher Zhang is right, both style and style are blooming!

"It's a good idea, Donnie, I think they can get in touch with James, and I hope we can see you on the set." Ji Feng stood up and shook hands with Donny. talked about.

"I think it's going to be a wonderful journey, isn't it?" Downey said with a big laugh. It's good to have this intention. This can be considered as the completion of the task. It doesn't matter if Ji Feng doesn't talk to them afterwards, Ji Feng has already given him enough respect and face.

After that, Downey left first, his goal has been achieved, and it is time to go back.

While the birthday party was still going on, Ji Feng and James said a word and then continued to participate in the carnival at the scene. Not to mention, these guys really know how to play, and the whole mansion was full of laughter.

"Hey, what did Downey tell you just now?" Ji Feng was lying on the lounger by the pool, watching the water gun battle taking place in the pool, Avril came over and squeezed half of the seat, and then picked it up. Baishui next to Ji Feng said.

"Quality and quality! Big stars! They are fighting for chairs and water!" Ji Feng was pushed directly under the chair, stood up and pointed at Avril in grief and indignation.

"Big stars... aren't they all here?" Avril squinted at Ji Feng, and started drinking water on her own. Only Ji Feng was able to drink water at a party.

"Uh...you're a bull!" Ji Feng was speechless, looked around, it was true, but now some people have completely played HIGH, how can they look like a star.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Sitting by the pool, he kicked Gasol off the duck, not caring about Gasol's angry roar in the water and said to Avril.

"Haha, Gasol will fuck him later~! Give me a few minutes." Avril laughed indifferently, then stopped Gasol's revenge and said to Ji Feng.
