Chapter 708 Extra: Director's Song: Anthony Wood (Subscription Request)
"Kevin Kevin Kevin..."
Cassano shouted exaggeratedly: "Let's see who has not retired in 2019. As a player born in 83, you have to realize that the world belongs to the young."
"I scored 56 goals last season and only played 1077 minutes, so I didn't squeeze out the young players' playing time too much."
Kevin Huang, who was sitting on the sofa, said with a smile, holding a glass of orange juice in his hand.
"Okay, let's change the way we talk. As the most famous athlete in the world, haven't you ever wanted to leave your image on film? The art of light and shadow, the combination of technology and story, leaving your own chapter on the screen..." Cassano tried his best to sell.
“Can your movie be shown on the big screen?”
Huang Kaiwen asked in surprise.
Cassano's films can't be shown in cinemas even in France.
"I have new ideas, serious ideas."
Cassano sat next to Kevin Huang and said, "When I was watching movies recently, I found that the public has a high tolerance for themes such as agents and handsome men, so I was thinking, why not make an Italian version of 007?"
"Do you want me to conquer the bad girls with my bottom every time?"
Huang Kevin asked directly.
"How could you..." Cassano slapped his head and said, "I'm not an unscrupulous writer. How could I handle the plot like this? I just want to start a serious company and make a series similar to Mission Impossible or 007. Think about it, brother. You have many fans all over the world. They will definitely buy into it. If we make a movie every few years, we will definitely make a lot of money."
"But I'm not short of money at all."
Huang Kevin said.
Cassano pulled his hair hard and said madly: "If you want to see me die, then reject me."
"what happened?"
Huang Kevin asked.
"Some of your fans wrote to you and said that if they couldn't let you star in a good spy movie, they would not buy other movies I made in the future. They also left messages online and received a lot of responses."
Cassano said helplessly.
Fuck, excluding Kevin Wong’s fans, his movies won’t sell at all.
"Okay, I agree."
Huang Kevin said.
"Tiny Times" can make money, so there is no reason for Huang Qiuwang to lose money by making a movie.
"Ah? You agreed!"
Cassano was a little surprised and said: "That's great! By the way, how much is your salary?"
“It must be higher.”
Huang Kevin said.
"It's okay. We can find people to invest anyway. I think they will be very interested when they hear that you are acting in a movie." Cassano said excitedly.
Although he is only the owner of a small film company, he has never been stingy with his pay, because high-paid actors can bring higher returns, which is especially evident in the adult film industry.
Some girls are obviously very beautiful and their performances are excellent, but they are not liked by the audience.
This is true whether it is a regular movie or an adult movie. Some people just can't become popular no matter how much you promote them.
Some people are born to attract moviegoers even if they have never acted in a movie.
After Huang Kevin agreed, Cassano returned home immediately.
In the past, he was a little hesitant to communicate with those famous directors. After all, he himself felt that making adult films was not art.
Now Cassano speaks superiorly.
I started making phone calls after I got home.
"Hello, is this Gisebbe?"
"Who are you?" the other party asked.
"I'm Antonio Cassano, and I'm also a director." Cassano spoke.
Giuseppe Tornatore on the other end of the line could hardly hold back his laughter.
He knew that the Italian stud became an adult film director after retiring. But when the other party said he was a director, he couldn't hold back.
Giuseppe Tornatore was born in 1956 and won several awards for her first film.
The second movie is "Cinema Paradiso". He wrote and directed "Beautiful Sicily" and "The Legend of 1900".
He didn't dare to say that he was the best screenwriter or director in Italy, but in front of Cassano, the gap between the two was like the difference between Kevin Huang scoring a hat-trick in one minute and Xizhe scoring a hat-trick. The biggest thing he and Cassano had in common was that they were both Italians.
Cassano called him and he felt really insulted because his movie was not something that could be done directly.
"So, Director Antonio, what do you have to do today?" Giuseppe Tornatore asked sarcastically.
"Nothing, I'm telling you that Kevin is going to make a movie."
Cassano said with a smile.
"what?"
Giuseppe Tornatore asked excitedly, "Kevin wants to make a movie about me. I haven't made a movie in several years, but I think I can do it. It will be a great movie. Does Kevin want to make his autobiography? "My Struggle" is a good name, although Jews may not like it too much..."
"No, no, no..." Cassano said regretfully on the phone: "Dear Giuseppe, Kevin wants to make my movie, not yours."
The excited Giuseppe Tornatore's voice suddenly stopped, like a duck with its neck pinched. He asked in disbelief: "Kevin wants to make your movie? An adult movie? Are you talking about Kevin, the captain of AC Milan?"
"Yes, it's Kevin you mentioned, but it's not an adult movie. I decided to create a great spy series, the Italian 007, and let Kevin play 007. This will be the greatest movie in Italian history. I have seen the future. Movie fans will buy tickets crazily when they see the name of the leading actor. I will make 10 billion or 15 billion or even more from this movie..."
Cassano continued to talk, but Giuseppe Tornatore didn't hear a word he said.
He had only one thought in his mind, which was to stop Huang Kevin.
There should not be such a stain in Kevin Huang’s great life. Even if there is no way to persuade Kevin Huang, he must serve as the director, no, director and screenwriter.
The next day, Gazzetta dello Sport published a telephone interview with Giuseppe Tornatore, who said: "If Kevin wants to try to act in a movie, he should never let Antonio Cassano be the director. This is a big deal. Cassano has never proved himself. I paid to watch several of his works on the website. I can only say that apart from yellow garbage, there is no story in his mind. The bad camera language ruins everything. Even as an adult film director, he is unqualified..."
Almost instantly, the Apennines and even the entire European football world were shocked.
Kevin Wong is going to star in Cassano's movie?
What's the matter that's bothering you?
Is it because he is too successful that he wants to challenge the adult film industry?
The Milan club received countless calls, and they tried hard to explain that they wanted to shoot a normal movie, not an adult movie.
Unexpectedly, after the explanation, the sponsors became even more excited.
Everyone knows that Kevin Huang's big screen debut will attract many fans, and breaking the 4 billion global box office record of "Avengers 28: Endgame" is a foregone conclusion.
How could they not get involved in this situation?
Galliani suddenly became the most popular man in the world.
Even L'Equipe had forgotten about the upcoming Ballon d'Or awards and had started frantically reporting on the news about Kevin Wong's movie.
Harry Kane, the biggest favorite for this year's Ballon d'Or, looked at the newspaper with some anxiety.
The Times interviewed Emilia Clarke, who said: "I don't know if Kevin is going to act in a movie, and I haven't received an invitation, but if it's with Kevin, it should be a pleasant job. As for the father of the child? His name is Clark, and I picked him up on a spaceship (laughs)."
Phil Collins said in an interview with The Guardian: "If he wants to act in a movie, then act in a movie. He is 36 years old and is capable of making a decision? What about our relationship? Our relationship has always been good, but I think there are some problems with my grandson's name. Kevin has a good aesthetic, but he obviously didn't put in the effort when naming the child. I even suspect that he named the child after drinking too much."
Many British female stars said that they had received invitations, and Page Three girls spared no effort to get on the list. British newspapers were also happy to report such news to attract public attention.
By Christmas, the matter had been discussed many times.
Cassano showed his new script to Kevin Huang.
"What does "Dust White Forbidden Zone" mean?"
Huang Kevin asked.
"I just want to say that this is a very dangerous area."
Cassano said with a smile, handed red envelopes to a few children and told them to go and play.
"Kevin is a retired cyclist, but he is a bit of a loner. He just cleans his bike every day. One day, a black kid from the neighborhood saw his bike and he chased it away... Of course, if you encounter a thief, you have to chase him away."
Huang Kevin complained.
"Keep watching, this is a popular element recently."
Cassano said awkwardly.
"But the black kid obviously didn't feel embarrassed. When he held a party, he invited Kevin to eat fried chicken together. His parents warmly welcomed Kevin... Antonio, how many black people with fathers have you seen? And I guessed the following plot. The black kid's sister was beaten by the gangsters. Kevin took a gun to find the gangsters and pretended to be shot and killed. The gangsters were arrested, right? This is Clint Eastwood's "Gran Torino". And why are there black people in the movie? There are very few black people in Italy."
Kevin Huang threw the script aside and asked.
A script of this level is so plagiarized that it's shit.
"I think this is more correct. This setting seems to be very popular in the United States. I have to consider the American market. Black people have fathers, which can make those black audiences feel the warmth of family."
Cassano said.
"Shit, Italian movies don't need black people. Spy movies don't need that kind of depth, they just need to find a reason to kill people. For example, Americans are good villains."
Huang Kevin said.
"Won't they be angry?"
Cassano asked with some confusion.
"Don't worry, as long as it doesn't involve Jews, Americans will be happy to watch the movie because they think the movie is fiction, even if the US military really did those things."
Huang Kaiwen said, "Forget it. Let others handle the script. The director will be Mr. Giuseppe Tornatore, and you can be the assistant director."
“This is my movie!”
Cassano said anxiously, "Then we can shoot it in the furniture store. You can learn from Jack Chen and fight dozens of opponents by yourself."
“I can’t do it.”
Kevin Huang said: "There is only one Jack Chen. Even if you learn his style, it is hard to be popular. It is better to make a spy movie, make the Americans the villains, and then find an opportunity to kill all the Americans."
"You decide."
Cassano said somewhat dejectedly.
At this time, the project no longer belonged to him.
Hearing Huang Kevin say this, he actually felt a little relieved.
Because of the high level of attention, he was under a lot of pressure.
More than one fan has urged him on the road to make a good movie.
Cassano himself was unsure.
If he were to make an adult movie, he would come up with three ideas in an instant, but this was his first time making a serious movie.
After the script was handed over to professionals, progress was very fast.
It's just a popcorn movie, no deep thoughts required.
This was also a carnival for the Italian industry, and many Italian filmmakers participated.
In February 2020, the European qualifiers have reached the life-and-death stage, and every game now determines which team can enter the 2 European Cup.
But the biggest news was the press conference for Seconds: The Beginning.
You can tell something from the name alone.
The setting is somewhat inspired by "Catch Me If You Can" and "White Collar". The protagonist is an arrested art thief who is recruited by an Italian secret service to save the world.
The launch event held at the Milan Opera House was filled with sponsors and journalists.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses was looking at the advertisement board carefully and accidentally bumped into someone else.
"Sorry, I'm looking for our logo."
The middle-aged man said.
"It's okay. How much money did you sponsor?"
The fat man who was hit asked.
"80 euros," said the middle-aged man.
The fat man's companion immediately laughed at him: "Maybe you can look at the cracks in the floor. We are sponsored by 200 million euros, so we can only be in the corner."
"Yes." The fat man said: "If it's 80 euros, it might be in Sicily, hahahaha..."
Middle-aged people are a little embarrassed, but this is the truth.
I heard that Kevin Huang would perform some dangerous scenes without a body double, and this news alone made Red Bull pay 2 million in sponsorship fees.
Exaggeration?
China's beverage market is worth hundreds of billions of RMB, and Japan's soft drink sales are 6.4 trillion yen a year.
These two markets alone are enough to make countless brands jealous.
In contrast, Italy can only give away free gifts, as its population and economy determine that Italy is not the most important market in any aspect.
The film has already made a profit before it even started shooting.
This is the appeal of Kevin Huang.
Italian brands, Chinese brands, and brands from all over the world are all vying for a chance to show up.
Even Kevin Wong's daily attire in the movie has become a baseball jersey with more brand logos printed on it, no less sponsors than the jackets of F1 drivers.
At 3 pm, Galliani walked onto the stage with a beaming smile and said, “I am very glad to see all the journalists and sponsors here. This time, Seconds: The Beginning is a huge opportunity, giving new vitality to Italy, which has been in a state of decline. We have invited the best screenwriters and filming teams. The film will start shooting in the summer, and the crew will travel to Milan, Florence, Sicily and Sardinia. According to experts’ estimates, in addition to boosting local employment, it will also give new vitality to Italy’s tourism industry…”
"This guy is getting better and better at talking."
Inzaghi, who was holding the child, said with a pout.
“Adriano has always been an excellent manager,” Huang said with a smile.
"Have you decided on the heroine?"
Inzaghi asked curiously.
He was invited to play a simple cameo role in the movie.
"Of course, she's taking acting lessons."
Huang Kevin said.
In this situation, why would you ask other actors to do anything? Just let Lily take the lead.
It's not an art film. Supermodels can play the leading roles in movies like "Transformers", so there's no reason why Lily can't do it.
Lily's face is still very good, but her figure is a little bit worse.
"I still think Anthony's suggestion is good. Rocco Siffredi is a very famous actor, and his salary is much lower than that of regular actors."
Inzaghi said.
"roll!"
Kevin Huang said unhappily: "When the audience sees him, they will think of vulgar things. I don't want the audience to think this is an adult movie."
The Rocco Siffredi that Inzaghi mentioned is the male protagonist in the H version of "Tarzan", who married the Hepburn of the dark world - Rosa Caracciolo.
Although he is the highest-paid adult film actor in the world, his annual income is only 200 million US dollars, which is pitifully small whether in Hollywood or the Chinese entertainment industry.
Later, Netflix made a documentary about him. Not only did this man admit to an Oedipus complex, he also said that he put something in his mother's friend's mouth at his mother's funeral.
Damn, if I didn’t know I would have thought he was Japanese.
To be honest, this kind of plot is quite attractive.
In March, the script was basically finalized.
The protagonist is a recruited art thief with first-class skills, high artistic qualities and great charm. After completing many tasks, he finally gained his freedom and chose to settle in Milan. His hobbies are writing, painting, riding a bicycle and driving, and he has been living on his own.
In a script like this, there is always someone who breaks the self-isolation of a retired agent.
So it was the neighbor mother and daughter.
The neighbor is a single mother with a lively little girl.
Kevin Huang always felt that Lily was not suitable to play a single mother, and would be better at playing a little girl.
But he dared not say it.
One day, the child's mother was not at home. She was forced to finish school early due to an activity she was attending, so she could not get into the house. The protagonist let her stay at his home to take shelter from the rain.
However, this action caused her mother to misunderstand. After she found out it was a misunderstanding, she invited the protagonist to dinner, and the two sides became more familiar with each other.
There is also some color in the lives of retired agents.
One day, the child was kidnapped.
The plot finally reached its climax. The retired agent returned to his old job and tracked down the case, only to find out that it was done by the Italian mafia Ndrangheta.
They cooperated with the Americans to kidnap some Italian children. The pretty ones were sent to an island in the United States for the entertainment of the bigwigs, while the ugly ones were used for human experiments or to sell their organs.
The angry retired agent killed and killed all the way but couldn't find the little girl. He discovered that the little girl had been taken away by the US military. He killed his way through the warship alone and finally left with her in his arms. Behind him was the exploding warship. A real man never looks back at the explosion. The movie ends here.
Kevin Huang was very satisfied with the script.
This is a standard popcorn blockbuster, just for fun.
And the whole world will probably be happy to see the black Americans.
If the Americans protest, the worst that can happen is that the Italian Prime Minister will apologize. It has nothing to do with the Yellow Ball King anyway. In the second part, the Americans are used as villains.
Huang Kevin even thought of the plot of the second part. If the Americans were causing trouble, he would just go alone to kill his way through XX Island and publish the evidence to the whole world.
When the audience gets tired of the setting where the protagonist wants to retire but is forced to go back to his old job due to trouble, a new pattern will be changed, where the protagonist is invited to come out when Italy's national security is threatened.
Anyway, there is no need to talk about logic in spy movies. Bad things are all done by Americans. As long as you are handsome and cool, it's fine. The Yellow Ball King with the [Immunity Card] can not only jump onto a helicopter without a stunt double, but can even dismantle an airplane with his bare hands.
I can only say sorry to the action stars who are still active on the big screen. They have no idea what kind of competitors they will face.
If Jack Chen had been unable to fight, Kevin Huang would have wanted to invite him to co-star in the first film.
It is a big gimmick for two actors, one old and one young, who do not need a double, to appear in the same movie.
After Kevin Huang nodded his approval to finalize the script, related preparations entered a high-speed preparation stage.
This time the Italians are very ambitious. Although Cassano has no talent for directing serious movies, his idea of "Italy's own 007" series has been recognized by many Italian practitioners.
Giuseppe Tornatore called Kevin Huang to complain that there were actors he knew who wanted a role in the movie, even a cameo.
He could only think of various excuses to reject them.
Even if he included the crew, he wouldn't need that many people.
He has already confirmed several major roles in the film, except for Kevin Wong and Lily Collins, the little girl has not yet been decided.
On the contrary, the villain has already been found.
William Dafoe, who played the Green Goblin in "Spider-Man", will play the villain American colonel. In the movie, he will show some struggle and reluctance, but still obey the orders of those bigwigs for his own future.
Mads Mikkelsen, who is well-known for the American TV series "Hannibal", plays the boss of the Mafia, who has absolutely no humanity and is a complete pervert. However, he kneels down and begs for mercy when he is dying, which highlights a contrast and makes the audience realize that no matter how vicious a villain is, he only has one life.
During the Champions League final, the crew had already started filming in Milan for a few days.
Except for the protagonist Kevin Huang who has not yet joined the crew, everything is going on normally.
There were a large number of Milan police officers at the filming site responsible for maintaining order. The fans were fine, but they were mainly preventing reporters from breaking the rules.
Since the crew started filming, they have captured 7 British guys.
If the British protests hadn't been so strong, they would even have wanted to temporarily deny entry to British journalists.
Lily is watching the Champions League final with Mckenna Grace, who plays her daughter.
Although the little girl is already 13 years old, she hasn't changed much from before. When she acted in "Gifted" with Captain America three years ago, she looked like she was only 6 or 7 years old.
She looks to be about ten years old now, so it's not too difficult for her to play the role of Lily's daughter. After all, there are many girls in Europe who give birth before the age of 20.
“You are American, can you understand football?”
Lily asked, deliberately using the word soccer.
“Aren’t you an American too?”
said the little girl.
"No, I'm British!"
Lily said with a smile.
She has become very accustomed to the flexibility of changing nationality.
Just as the two of them were chatting, Van Dijk made a long pass from the backcourt, and Huang Kevin received the ball in the midfield and started running.
PSG's backcourt was quite empty, with only Marchisinhos and Kimpembe dragging behind.
Paredes, who was chasing after Kevin Huang, tried to use physical confrontation to make Kevin Huang lose his balance, but he unexpectedly fell on the grass first.
Marchisinhos could only come over to fill the position.
He didn't even dare to face Huang Kevin head-on, for fear of being thrown away.
Waiting for Huang Kevin to reach the penalty area like this, Marchisinhos stretched out his foot to try to steal the ball, but Huang Kevin made several consecutive feints, causing him to lose his balance.
Finally, Huang Kaiwen kicked the ball with his right foot and hit the far left corner directly. Qian Duoduo fell to the ground in embarrassment but still failed to stop the goal.
The whole city of Milan was in jubilation.
Their captain secured the victory shortly after the start of the game, and it seemed that Milan could once again lift the Champions League trophy at home.
