"Bah, princess, do you dare to think about it? Can the princess of England be Chinese? It's terrible not to know the common sense of movies!" Meghan scolded Xiao Qi for his lack of common sense, which was considered a breath of anger just now.

"Then what other important supporting actress roles are there?" Xiao Qi asked doubtfully.

There are three main characters in "The King's Speech", namely the male protagonist the Duke of Yorkshire, the female protagonist the Duke of Yorkshire's wife, and the speech therapist Lionel.

All three roles were nominated for Oscars, one for Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor and Actor.

Although the latter two were unsuccessful, this does not prevent the two characters from excelling.

The wife of the Duke of Yorkshire is the wife of the great director Tim Burton, who has excellent acting skills. Another speech therapist, Lionel, is Captain Barbossa in Pirates of the Caribbean. In fact, she was the Oscar winner in 1997.

The actor who won the Oscar for Best Actor for this film will be nominated for the Best Actor Oscar at next year's Oscars, and will be successfully crowned the year after that.

With the wonderful acting skills of the three people, coupled with a good Oscar-winning director's grasp, and Hollywood's always preferred British themes, "The King's Speech" can successfully become the big winner of the Oscars in the following year.

Therefore, after Xiao Qi reacted, he smiled to himself. Obviously, this was impossible. If a Chinese played a British role, the familiarity would naturally be much lower.

But apart from these three characters, the rest are all supporting roles. It can't be said that they are forgettable, but there is nothing outstanding about it, let alone one worth 20 million US dollars.

So Xiao Qi was very confused and felt that this girl was cheating money again.

Unexpectedly, Meghan 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

Increase her role in the show and make her the fourth protagonist."

Xiao Qi's heart moved when he heard this, and he subconsciously looked at his wife, who was as cute as a kitten in his arms, "Really? You didn't lie to me? I found someone else. But you let her appear three or five times casually,

Even if it’s sent away.”

Megan smiled and said: "What is 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 help you check it... Maybe if she plays well,

It’s possible to get her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress!”

"Really?" Xiao Qi's heart suddenly moved.

"Fake." Megan answered without hesitation, "She has never performed in Hollywood, so it is naturally impossible for her to be nominated. A few more times will be fine."

"Well, let me think about it." Xiao Qi said calmly.

But Megan is such a smart woman. She knew immediately and he thought, "Ahem, if you want to find someone to join, you should quickly select someone and give them money. The more money the director gets, the more scenes he will have."

"

Xiao Qi smiled bitterly and said: "I know! Megan, it would be such a waste to spend 20 million US dollars to buy a fourth protagonist if you don't do business!"

"Haha. I'm not interested in doing business." Seeing that the money was about to arrive, Megan was very happy. "Because you invested so much, I will help you take care of your little love after she comes to the United States.

Good for her!”

"Then I'd like to thank you very much." Xiao Qi smiled and said a few words, then hung up the phone.

As for who the candidate is, how could a smart woman like Megan not understand who Xiao Qi would choose?

If she is just an actress, why invest 20 million US dollars in her? Just to get a role?

Of course, only if Xiao Qi's woman starred in the movie, Xiao Qi would be willing to spend so much money!

From Tang Mingxiang, Megan had long known that Xiao Qi had several wives in the entertainment industry, so she dared to bring her idea to Xiao Qi.

But as the saying goes, there is a mountain as high as a mountain.

Megan, this little fox, is very good at calculations. Xiao Qi is even more good at calculations than she is.

First of all, the filming 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 will not be able to catch up with the 2011 Oscar Awards.

For the biggest Oscar winner in 2011, Xiao Qi definitely couldn't let it go just for the sake of a mere US$20 million overspending.

After all, the producers are basically their own people - two of the three shareholders of Hope Pictures are Xiao Qi's wives; and the Kiwi Film and Television Group, a Chinese company in name only, is the family business of the actress's sister.

Once "The King's Speech" receives a great honor, it will be a huge help to the careers of the wives. This is the most important reason why Xiao Qi is willing to invest.

Compared with what was obtained, a mere US$30 million is nothing, and an additional US$20 million 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 would only be a drizzle.

As long as Megan keeps begging shamelessly, or goes on strike directly, or even asks Taylor and Tang Mingxiang to negotiate, Xiao Qi will definitely agree.

But now it seems that Megan is not so thick-skinned and did not let her good friends Taylor and Tang Mingxiang come forward. Presumably she also knows that she spends money lavishly and is too embarrassed to bother her two friends to talk about her favor.

It is also for this reason that Meghan came up with the idea of ​​exchanging an important role for subsequent investment.

In order to come up with this idea, 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 decided.

Xiao Qi was originally ready to continue investing, but when he encountered such a benefit, the young man naturally accepted it.

The boy's first reaction was to ask the movie queen sister to play this role. After all, because of Xiao Qi, Qiao Guoer only won the award for the best domestic TV drama heroine in this life, but did not win any big screen awards.

Moreover, the actress's sister, who will take care of her children in the future, will probably have less time to make movies.

It's rare for someone to be called the "Sister of the Movie Queen" who is worthy of the name, so Xiao Qi naturally wanted to recommend her for the role.

But he immediately realized that Qiao Guoer was currently pregnant with a baby and would give birth next month. Taking into account the care of the baby and the postpartum recovery period, it would take at least half a year.

Moreover, Qiao Guoer now manages such a large film and television group, so how can he have the time to delay for half a year just for a movie?

Besides, even if she can put down the kiwi business, what about the baby?

Not long after the baby was born, he left the baby in China and then went to the United States to make a movie?

Whoever dares to say this to the actress' sister will 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 darlings to take care of, so why do they care about filming?

Then the only two girls left, Song Jiejie and Du Feixing, are suitable.

I heard Megan talk about several scenes of the supporting actress. This woman is set to be a gentle and considerate character, so the foxy and beautiful female star is not suitable, but the delicate and elegant beauty in her arms is more suitable.

Suitable for some.

Although Du Feixing's height is only about 160 centimeters, it won't be a big problem if she wears taller shoes.

While thinking, Xiao Qi gently patted Du Feixing's fat-like buttocks, "Xing'er."

"Well~~" Du Feixing didn't fall asleep either, but she was just a little dazed. After all, Xiao Qi scored twice just now, but she had already bloomed and fallen dozens of times. Even though she had been recharging her energy for a long time, she couldn't

I couldn't help but lose the battle.

"Just now a friend of mine called and mentioned something..."

Xiao Qi carefully explained "The King's Speech" and Meghan's arrangements.

Du Feixing was confused 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 movies wouldn’t want to go to Hollywood to make movies?

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 has given her such a good opportunity, and also said that this is a literary film that is clearly aimed at Oscars, which is what Du Feixing likes.

But after thinking about it, Du Feixing still shook her head and said: "I'm not going... I went to the United States, who will accompany you? Jiejie is busier than me~~"

Her tone was very firm, and it was obviously not a polite statement.

In fact, Du Feixing's ambition for fame and fortune was not strong to begin with. Although she was tempted for a moment, she suddenly thought of her husband, who was more important to her, and immediately changed her mind.

Xiao Qi smiled, "This is a rare opportunity, and there are producers watching over there. This woman is the daughter of my partner, and she is a very good person. Go over and see the attitude and process of making movies in Hollywood. What will happen to you?

It will only do you good."

"I still won't go." Du Feixing smiled sweetly, "I can act anytime, but my husband needs me to accompany him now."

"Crack!"

Xiao Qi slapped her on the buttocks, "Am I the kind of person who needs my wife to accompany me every day to survive? At least I have something to do, and I don't just sit around all day long, okay? Wife, just do it.

Tell me, put all this aside and just decide whether you want to go or not."

"Um……"

Du Feixing thought for a moment and tapped her fan: "I still want to go and see it. I have been acting for more than ten or twenty years. When I am about to retire, it would be good to have this opportunity."

"That's good." Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Let's have a good rest for a few days, and then you can go to Hollywood! After you come back from filming, you will prepare to have a baby!"

"Oh~~"

Du Feixing's eyes suddenly lit up.
Chapter completed!
