"Okay, Han, since you are coming to the Holy Land of Movies, I think I can help you introduce a director. He is currently preparing to shoot a new action movie. You know, the action movies of Lighthouse Country are very popular all over the world.

Fire."

"Besides, he knows you and has always admired your strength. I think if you can meet, it will definitely be helpful to your development here." Joseph returned to the topic and suggested seriously.

.

"director?"

"Yes, Director DeWitt, I wonder if you have heard of it."

"em..."

"Well, he is indeed not well-known in China, and he can only be regarded as a second-tier director in the Lighthouse Country. But you know, I have just arrived in the Lighthouse Country, so it is impossible to know any big directors."

Joseph helplessly shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Han, Director DeWitt is not famous, but you believe me, he is a very talented director. Moreover, he is friendly to Chinese people and is willing to accept Chinese people."

Playing a major role in his movie, and a positive role, you know what I mean?"

Han Lan was silent for a moment and nodded.

The national conditions of the Lighthouse Country are like this, so there are actually very few directors who are willing to accept Chinese actors. Even if the directors themselves do not discriminate against Chinese actors, they still have to consider the audience.

A Chinese actor plays a savior in a lighthouse movie? Are you kidding me about Gaul?

"Then make an appointment with him." Han Lan smiled.

"Okay, don't worry, Han. I know you are a busy man. I have already asked him in advance before coming here today. You can ask him out to have a meal together at noon."

Han Lan naturally had no objection to what he said. Getting to know more people would provide more ways out.

…

…

In a well-known local restaurant, Han Lan met this underappreciated director from Lighthouse Country.

A very orthodox image of a middle-aged, fat, Mediterranean uncle from a lighthouse country.

He also speaks pure rural English from the lighthouse country.

Of course, Han Lan didn't mean to look down on him. A second-tier director from the Lighthouse Country was enough to make the first-tier stars from China kneel down. This industry is so real.

Director DeWitt did not look down on Han Lan, a star from China. He has always been friendly to Chinese people, and he had seen Han Lan compete in the ring.

Under this premise, the two naturally chatted happily and exchanged business information.

Especially Han Lan, his harmless smile is very lovable. So it is easy to make friends with strangers.

"Mr. Han, I am currently preparing a new action movie. I have invested 10 million US dollars so far. There is a Chinese kung fu master in it. I think it is very suitable for you. If you are interested, we can try it.

Let’s work together once.” Director DeWitt introduced the topic with a smile.

The investment of 10 million U.S. dollars, not to mention the equivalent of more than 70 million in Chinese national currency, is higher than Han Lan's original investment in filming "Fearless", but it can only be regarded as below-average among lighthouse country movies. You know.

More than 50% of Lighthouse State's film investments are over $18 million.

However, DeWitt's film is still in preparation, and there may be additional investment in the future.

Han Lan nodded and asked, "Can you tell me how many scenes I will have in the movie?"

DeWitt did a simple calculation and smiled: "After the editing is completed, there will be at least twenty minutes of footage. Don't worry, if you are willing to take on this drama, this can be written into the contract."

"Twenty minutes of footage?"

Han Lan understood that it was most likely a guest role, not even the second male lead.

DeWitt explained with a smile: "Mr. Han, this kung fu master is actually also a very important character. I can't tell you the specific plot yet, but it is probably that the protagonist met this kung fu master in Chinatown after being defeated, and then

Under the guidance of the kung fu master, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he finally defeated the villain. Moreover, twenty minutes of footage is very rare for Chinese actors..."

Han Lan looked stunned and nodded approvingly.

DeWitt laughed too.

In fact, the kung fu master is not very important even if it is important. In his original script, the kung fu master was actually a karate master. But wasn't Shota Yagi admitted to the hospital by Han Lan some time ago? Many people now feel that

Chinese kung fu is more powerful than karate, so he could only change the script.

Anyway, it would be the same if I changed to another master.

"So, Mr. Han, can we first know about your salary?" DeWitt said with a smile.

Han Lan winked at Fang Qiaorui, and Fang Qiaorui quickly put down the food in his hand, took out a piece of paper to wipe his mouth, and entered into working mode: "Ahem, Mr. DeWitt, you know, our Mr. Han Lan is in China

The number one traffic volume fresh meat in the country.”

"Fresh meat with low flow rate?"

"He is the most handsome and popular among the young artists in China!" Han Lan didn't need to explain this time, Joseph took the initiative to help explain.

He was introduced to it by Han Lan when he was in Castile last time.

That is his dream career!

I wish I could be reborn as a trainee in China!

After listening to Joseph's explanation, DeWitt also nodded, but when he looked at Fang Qiaorui, he was more wary. He also understood that the price was going to be raised.

As expected, Fang Qiaorui said with a smile: "Mr. DeWitt, if we go by the current market situation in China, our Mr. Han Lan will get at least 100 million yuan in salary for a movie. Of course, this is Chinese currency, and if converted into the currency of the lighthouse country, it will be 100 million yuan."

It’s much cheaper, only over 14 million dollars.”

"Pfft...how much?" DeWitt choked on his own saliva and looked at Fang Qiaorui with an expression of "You're kidding me", and then looked at Han Lan.

Although I was mentally prepared to know that he was going to raise the price, I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.

Fourteen million dollars?

He can't even afford Han Lan to co-write the whole movie with the combined investment?

"Mr. Han, is your assistant kidding?"

Han Lan smiled and said: "Mr. DeWitt, do you think we are joking? I know that your actors in the Lighthouse Country have an income of 20 million, but I don't even have 20 million. Is it a lot? Not much.

Yes."

DeWitt was a little angry: "Mr. Han, the 20 Million Club is the top actor in the Lighthouse Country, and only the leading actors can get such a high salary."

Han Lan nodded: "Indeed, if there are only twenty minutes of footage, the price is indeed a bit high."

DeWitt felt a little better after hearing what he said, but then he reported another number: "Three million dollars."

"watt?"

"Twenty minutes of footage, three million dollars, does Director DeWitt think I'm not worth the price?" Han Lan asked with a smile.

DeWitt was a little angry.

Han Lan smiled and said: "Director DeWitt should want to enter the Chinese market for this movie, right? So a Chinese actor is needed to ensure the movie's box office in China?"

DeWitt's thoughts were revealed by him, and he took a sip of red wine with some annoyance.

To put it bluntly, he actually wants to take advantage of Han Lan's current popularity, especially in China, to enter the Chinese market and make a fortune.

But he was reluctant to give Han Lan a high price, after all, his investment in movies was very limited.

And in fact, many Chinese actors are willing to star in low-paying movies or even pay them back in order to get a chance to star in a movie from the lighthouse country.
