Hardy Empire 1945

Li Gen once again thanked Hardy and Director Nolan and left. Nolan looked at Hardy and said, "Mr. Hardy, would you like to choose the supporting role ‘Carl’?"

Hardy waved his hand.

"You decide this." Hardy said.

He is not interested in choosing a supporting actor.

"Mr. Hardy, what kind of person do you think is more suitable for the psychic, white, black or South American?" Nolan asked again.

Hardy just wanted to talk about black people. Originally, the psychic in the movie was the black actress Ubi Goldberg. He suddenly realized that it is 1947 and the status of black people is far lower than that of later generations. It's definitely a publicity.

Since propaganda, why don't you change yourself?

You can replace the psychic medium with a Chinese person.

At present, most Americans’ impressions of the Tang people are still in the Qing dynasty's pigtail period, and the Tang people are portrayed ugly in the film and television works, slandering the image of the Tang people.

If you change the psychic medium to Chinese people and shoot in Chinatown, many people can have a new understanding of Chinese people.

In the movie, it is necessary to show the mysterious power of the Orientals.

It can even be equipped with a guard who knows Chinese Kung Fu. Of course, this person can appear later and beat the robbers away.

Let the Americans feel that the Chinese are not easy to provoke.

Perhaps in the future, we can create a Bruce Lee-like martial arts movie star, sweeping the military martial arts class, let them know that the Chinese are all kung fu.

Fear and unwillingness to confront thoughts arise from the heart.

This kind of film does not need to invest too much. It is estimated that four or five million yuan can be used to make one.

As for the box office, Hardy doesn't care. Even if he loses all of it, he will only pay for this amount. Besides, it may not be lost. Now there are about one million Chinese in the United States. This is also the market.

Hardy said to Nolan: "Find a Tang actress to be a psychic."

"Tangren?"

Nolan was a little surprised.

"In the Chinese culture, there is a deep study of mysterious psychics. Europeans and Americans have always felt very mysterious to the Chinese. I think it is appropriate to use them. Find a female actor in her 30s and 40s to shoot in Chinatown." Hardy said. .

Nolan thought for a while, "It's okay to find Chinatown, but I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome over there in Chinatown."

"What's the trouble?" Hardy asked.

"There is the site of the Tang People's Gang. The Tang people are more conservative. I don't know if they would let us in to shoot." Nolan said.

Hardy smiled softly, "Don't worry, the Tang people will help me handle it for you over there."

After talking about the matter, Hardy left HD Media and went directly to the auction company. On the Chinatown side, you can talk to Bill. Now the China Gang and the Los Angeles company are at peace, and there are business contacts.

It's easy for Bill to talk to the boss of Tang Dynasty.

But Hardy thought for a while. This is a formal business. In fact, you can ask Han Yezhen for help. She makes a call more directly than Bill.

Han Yezhen and Irina are both in the auction company. Now they both have graduated. Han Yezhen is studying architecture, and Irina is a host major, and it is time to graduate this year.

Han Yezhen used to think about being an architect. After being hired as the head of the auction company by Hardy, she gradually fell in love with collecting antiques and decided to continue doing it.

"Yejin, please help to call the Chinese helper, saying that HD Film Company is going to shoot the scene in Chinatown. I hope they can help coordinate." Hardy said.

"No problem, what movie are you going to shoot?" Han Yizhen asked.

Hardy told the two women the plot of "Human Ghost Is Coming," and both of them were attracted by the plot.

This kind of love scene is the easiest to attract women.

"The men are dead, and they have to guard the woman they love. It's really affectionate. I like a man like this." Irina said.

French girls have no resistance to love.

Han Yezhen thought of other things, faintly said, "I've watched many Hollywood movies, and all of them appear in Chinese characters, they are all the more nasty characters. Pigtails, greed for money, betrayal, and even demonization are all villains without a decent character. I get angry every time I see a plot like this."

"Hadi, this psychic must behave better in this movie." Han Yizhen said.

"Don't worry, this psychic is definitely a positive image. It is with her help that Sam and Meili can finally meet and solve the crisis. I have specifically asked the director to make this character strong, mysterious, and full of justice." Ha Dedao.

"That's good."

Han Yezhen smiled and picked up the phone to call the Los Angeles Tang People's Helper Tang Zheng, and the call was quickly connected.

Han Yezhen told Tang Zheng about Hardy, and Tang Zheng simply agreed.

"No problem, you inform the people of HD Pictures that they can come over at any time, and if you need help, you can tell us."

What Hadi thought of, said to Han Yejin: "Yejin, ask Mr. Tang if he knows an actress in his 30s or 40s. I don't think it is suitable for the Tang actresses registered by the Actors Guild."

"By the way, if there is a young man who knows kung fu, please also introduce me. There is a supporting role guard in the movie, and it is best to play."

Han Yezhen said what Hadi had said to Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng paused and said, "Yezhen, was it Mr. Hardy who spoke just now?"

"Ah~!"

Han Yezhen looked up at Hadi.

The voice of the telephone receiver is quite loud now, and Hardy also heard Tang Zheng's words.

Han Yezhen's eyes asked Hardy how to answer.

Hardy thought for a while, stretched out his hand to answer the phone, and said, "Hello, Mr. Tang Zheng, this is Jon Hardy."

"Hello, Mr. Hardy, this is Tang Zheng. I have been admiring my name for a long time, and I have never been able to see it." Tang Zheng said respectfully.

Tang Zheng is in Los Angeles, and he naturally knows more about the underworld situation in Los Angeles than others. Although the Los Angeles company is currently led by Bill, the true underground emperor is Jon Hardy.

The Los Angeles Company is now the largest gang in Los Angeles. It first wiped out the Spanish Gang and then the North Shore Gang. Many other unknown gangs were also wiped out.

Now the Mexicans and the Chinese are relatively large forces, and they can only survive in the cracks. Fortunately, the Chinese mainly operate in Chinatown. There are no disputes with the Los Angeles Gang, and there are still some areas of cooperation, so they are in peace.

However, this does not guarantee that the Tang Dynasty Gang can sit back and relax. There is a lion lying next to the rabbit. The lion can swallow the rabbit at any time. The rabbit naturally trembles every day. This feeling is very bad.

After the incident happened to Han Yezhen last time, Tang Zheng helped. Later, he learned that Hardy helped her, so he paid attention. Later, Han Yizhen got an auction company, and the owner was Jon Hardy. Tang Zheng understood that this niece must be with him. Mr. Hardy got in touch.

In fact, in his heart, he has been considering the development of the Tang Dynasty Gang. He knows that it is difficult for the Tang Dynasty Gang to grow bigger, but he must ensure that it can survive.

These days, he has considered whether to ask Han Yezhen to help him talk about things and bring the relationship closer, but it feels too abrupt.

Today, Han Yezhen called, Tang Zheng heard a man talking next to him, and the man’s tone was very indistinguishable from Han Yezhen. Tang Zheng suddenly guessed that the opposite might be Mr. Hardy, so he asked tentatively.

"I didn't dare to take it for a long time. This time I asked Mr. Tang for help, and I have to trouble Mr. Tang." Hardy said.

"There is no trouble with this little thing, Mr. Hardy is looking for a suitable actress, right? I have a suitable candidate to recommend." Tang Zhengdao.

"Oh, who?"

"Is an actress from China. Her stage name is'Butterfly'. She has made many movies in China and is known as the No. 1 beautiful woman in China. She is 40 years old this year. She has just come to Los Angeles this year. Maybe Suitable for this role in your movie." Tang Zhengdao.

Hardy was taken aback.

Butterfly.

The first beauty in the Republic of China.

Hardy had heard of the name butterfly in her last life. She was very famous in China and made many movies. However, she was taken over by Dai Li. She did not escape until Dai Li died of the butterfly. It is said that she later settled in Toronto, Canada.

When did Dai Li die? It seems to be in 1946. Now that the butterfly came to Los Angeles, the time was right.

"Then Mr. Tang can help inform and ask her to come to HD Pictures for an interview to see if it is appropriate." Hardy said.

"No problem, by the way, you still want a guard role that can be played, right? There are quite a few people like this around me. Why don't I ask a few people to come over and take a look?" Tang Zhengdao.

"That's better, let's go together."

"Then make it in the afternoon, what do you think?"

"no problem."

Hanging up the phone, Tang Zheng had a look of excitement on his face. This time I was so lucky to be able to get in touch with Hardy. As long as I do well this time, I have incense, coupled with the relationship between niece Han, the Tang People’s Gang You can survive safely in Los Angeles, so you don’t have to be so afraid.

He didn't dare to neglect, he immediately ordered people to inform the butterfly, and gathered all the young people who could be beaten in the gang, and picked out the best-looking ones.

Hardy hung up the phone and looked up to find Han Yezhen looking at him with bright eyes.

"what happened?"

Han Yezhen asked with some excitement: "Uncle Tang introduced you to the movie Queen Butterfly, right?"

Hardy shrugged, "I don't know, he said that his name is Butterfly, and he is a very famous actress in China."

"That's almost it, Hardy, I like her. I have watched a lot of movies starring her~www.novelmt.com~ I didn't expect her to come to Los Angeles. You will interview her in the afternoon, right? I can talk to you. Go and have a look?" Han Yezhen asked excitedly.

"Hehe, of course, it's almost noon. Why don't we go to have a good meal first, and then go to the film company after the meal?"

"Okay." Han Yizhen nodded.

Irina hurriedly intervened next to her, "I want to go too."

"Naturally have you, go and eat." Hardy said with a smile.

Irina immediately smiled.

On the other hand, Tang Zheng asked someone to inform Butterfly. Butterfly heard that there was a movie looking for a role in the Tang Dynasty, and she was very surprised by the recent rise of HD Pictures.

"Miss Butterfly, Mr. Tang asked me to ask you if you are willing to go to the show, and if you are willing to go to the past."

"Yes, I will be there in the afternoon." Butterfly agreed.
