Chapter 317- One or Two?

"Another R-rated movie!"

Lin Ming Yang skimmed his lips and casually handed the script of Wanted 2 to Marton who was standing beside him, leaning back and reclining on the beach chair.

"But anyway, Ecks finally did something beautiful this time!"

Beckmambetov's taut heart suddenly relaxed after hearing these words, as long as the script idea could be approved, the following things would be much easier. Beckmambetov was about to open his mouth to state his more specific ideas, but Marton, who was standing opposite him, waved his hand at him, then pointed to Lin Mingyang, who was in the midst of intense contemplation, and signaled him to wait for a moment.

Lin Mingyang did not notice the small movements of Marton and Bekmambetov's "eye to eye", he grabbed the nearest quilt from the table as if he was not aware of it, and when he brought it to his mouth, his lips slightly opened and closed and missed, and in his heart, he was about to wonder "where did the straw go? He was about to wonder "Where's the straw?" when he suddenly realized that he was holding a beer instead of juice.

"I forgot beer doesn't have a straw!" As if he had told a very cold joke, Lin Ming Yang hemmed and hawed, but apart from himself, Marten and Bekmambetov were unable to laugh.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit chilly, Lin Ming Yang naturally raised his glass and nodded at Beckman Bertov, and the two of them unspokenly drank the beer in the glass. The empty glass was placed on the table, the most brain-consuming thing Lin Ming Yang naturally left it to Beckmambetov to do, after finishing his drink he opened his mouth and asked, "How are you going to blend these two stories together?"

"A sharpshooter with great skills, and a competitive man with great car skills, just like the cops and robbers in the Fast and Furious series, the two protagonists coming together will surely lead to a lot of very interesting stories... Fighting against evil hand in hand with violence, looking for the masterminds who are trying to manipulate the destinies of their lives, and the relationship between the two protagonists goes from a stranger at the beginning to an alliance of interest, and finally becoming brothers in life and death... "Bekmambetov spread his hands, "Since I just got off the plane, that's all I can think of at the moment."

Lin Ming Yang nodded, "As far as a one step commercial movie is concerned, these elements you have thought of are already enough, the key is how we portray the details... More importantly, I didn't take this factor into consideration when I wrote the script in the first place... For the two movies that were irrelevant at the beginning of their creation to be fused together, we have to have a telling past reason."

"Didn't you leave an even bigger cliffhanger at the end of the Fatal Curve storyline? In the sequel story he returns to Europe in search of the truth, and Wesley, who succeeded in avenging his father's death, finds that he has destroyed only the Brotherhood's institutions in plain sight, and that the tip of the iceberg of this mysterious organization has only just surfaced, and that this time around he will face an even more formidable foe...In the process of pursuing and countering, Wesley encounters Leo, and in a series of perilous actions the two of them go from using each other to sympathizing with each other, until the two realize that although they have different motives, their ultimate goal is the same organization, and the two finally join forces to eradicate the fallen Brotherhood once and for all!"

It only took Beckman Bertov a short time to sort out a clear plot thread, and Lin Mingyang hadn't expected this Russian with a rugged appearance to be so responsive. Seeing that Bekmambetov had performed so well, Lin Mingyang wasn't as anxious to end this conversation as he had been at the very beginning.

He clasped his hands and asked with interest, "What about the female lead?"

With one sentence, Beckmambetov's good mood immediately evaporated, he even had a bitter face and a hard look on his face, stammering and wheedling for half a day before he shyly asked, "If Julie is willing to come back..."

This time Lin Mingyang did not interrupt, it was Bekmambetov himself who swallowed the second half of the sentence, as the director of Wanted, in the crew Lin Mingyang and Julie's relationship is hidden from others, but Bekmambetov's pair of eyes is how to not get around. Just the hot and seductive electric eyes of Julie facing Lin Ming Yang during the filming was enough to tell Beckman Bertov a lot of things. In the absence of a solution, he could only hope that Lin Mingyang and Julie's personal relationship could bring the other party back.

"This matter... is difficult!"

From the moment Lin Ming Yang spat out these words from his mouth, Beckman Bertov had completely dismissed the idea of having Julie return, even Lin Ming Yang found it difficult, so basically there was nothing to count on.

When he said this Lin Mingyang heart is also very helpless, but compared to Julie's "lack of" regret, he is now more concerned about what Beckman Bertov will make the next choice. With Angelina Jolie in front of her, the heroine of the sequel is not just anyone who can play a good role, Lin Mingyang gave Bekmambetov another problem.

"If you change the person, the female lead's plot will have to be reconsidered..." Beckmambetov rubbed his chin out of habit, "But before that I want to make sure of one thing...how many female leads do you really need in this movie ?"

His words were easily misunderstood at first glance, and Lin Ming Yang looked at him with a depressed expression, "What do you mean I need a few female leads...should all the women in a movie with me in it be for me?"

Marton, who was standing by the side, was holding a laugh in his stomach, and the muscles on his cheeks began to twitch unnaturally, Beckmambetov realized that his words had caused ambiguity, and hurriedly explained, "What I mean is that if two female leads are set, then the weight of the two male leads' scenes accordingly should be balanced out a bit. If only one female lead is needed, then Wesley, that is, your role in the entire play has to be a bit more prominent."

"So what do you think?"

Facing Lin Mingyang's question, Bekmambetov hesitated.

"Actually, I've read the script of the play you're making, and to be honest I think that Leo's girlfriend in the movie is just a vase type of character... My suggestion would be to just have a female lead, so that we can highlight Wesley's leading role in the sequel, and at the same time give more room for the female lead to perform... After all, in the last movie No one would say that Julie's character is a vase!"

From the fact that all the movies Beckmambetov directs are cleanly R-rated, it's clear that the guy has a serious violence complex, and under the influence of this kind of thinking, his understanding of female beauty also leans toward the masculine. Plus, Bekmambetov is from Russia, and the aesthetic style in Eastern Europe is obviously different from the mainstream of Hollywood, which makes him disdainful of those vase-like female characters portrayed in Hollywood commercial movies.

While Lin Mingyang cupped the wine glass in his hand and fell into deep thought, Marton, who stood beside him, sweated over Bekmambetov. The relationship between Rosie and Lin Ming Yang on the set was very unusual, and if Marton, who was the personal butler, didn't have this kind of eyesight, then he would have been mixing beside Lin Ming Yang for nothing.

Let him slightly at ease is, Rosie all the drama is in the United States has been shot, so she did not follow the crew to Italy to take the scene, eliminating and the parties directly meet the embarrassment, Beckman Bertoff in the face of Lin Mingyang said such words is not so embarrassing that he could not close the scene.

Lin Mingyang and Bekmambetov's conversation just now did not avoid Marton, the two discussed the plot Marton also listened to a general, according to his understanding, Lin Mingyang definitely want to arrange a role for Rosie in this movie.

But let him shocked, Lin Mingyang's next reaction actually did not negate Beckman Bertov's views, the tone of voice and even some hidden support.

"If you were to recommend a female lead now, who would you choose?"

Lin Mingyang thought that Bekmambetov had already thought of a suitable candidate, but he didn't expect this guy to actually drop the ball at this time. The other party spread out both hands and shrugged helplessly, Lin Ming Yang really couldn't do anything about this guy.

"I still feel that Julie is the one who is all the most suitable female lead!" Bekmambetov old things, obviously "thieves heart is not dead", but unfortunately Lin Mingyang very directly waved his hand, and then came a sentence.

"Then you go to talk to her?"

Bekmambetov smiled sarcastically and didn't mention it. Seeing that Lin Ming Yang was no longer interested in continuing the conversation, and that his own purpose had been achieved, Bekmambetov cooperated and followed with a yawn, then muttered something under his breath.

"I haven't slept for two days, I seem to be a bit sleepy!"

Lin Mingyang closed his eyes as if he was asleep, but Marton, who was standing beside him, immediately understood. He stepped forward and smiled at Bekmambetov, "Mr. Bekmambetov, I've already booked a hotel room for you, why don't I send you there now?"

Bekmambetov immediately and happily got up to leave, once this guy left, Lin Mingyang's good mood on vacation also dissipated with him, he was now full of thoughts about the candidate for the female lead, for this, he had to start having headaches again.

----

Marton was smart enough not to book Bekmambetov's hotel at the one Lin Mingyang was staying at, seeing Lin Mingyang's expression after he came back from the beach, Marton was really glad he made an incredibly correct decision, looking at the situation in front of him, he guessed that Lin Mingyang would be upset as soon as he saw this Bekmambetov guy now.

Cautiously following behind Lin Ming Yang, almost to the door of the room, Marton quickly stepped forward to open the door of the room for Lin Ming Yang, himself respectfully standing aside.

Lin Ming Yang walked into the room expressionless, normally Marton would have gently closed the door for him and left, but today he stood there uncharacteristically, with no intention of leaving at all.

"Is there anything else?"

As soon as Lin Ming Yang opened his mouth one could sense that he was in a bad mood right now, Marton stiffly took out a beautifully framed invitation from his pocket and handed it over to Lin Ming Yang.

"This was just transferred from the hotel's main desk..."

Without waiting for Marton to finish his sentence, Lin Mingyang shoved the invitation back into his pocket, "Ecks should have told you that I never attend receptions of this commercial nature!"

Marton stammered, "But this invitation was sent over by the Fenning West Group Pat Commissioner...they are inviting you to attend Mr. Silvio Berlusconi's birthday reception."
