Chapter 970 International Influence
The negotiations have reached this point and can no longer proceed.
Liu? looked at Micheal's expression and knew that he would not agree to her conditions. Indeed, Micheal was very unhappy. He felt that he had been good enough to Liu?. If it were any other actor, they should have been grateful to him long ago!
Liu? You really don’t know how to appreciate a favor!
He decided to give up Liu?, but in front of other investors and director Ron, he vowed that Liu? was the most suitable candidate for the role and asked them to trust his vision. At that time, Ron reluctantly gave in.
Is he going to go back and tell them now that Liu? is not going to act anymore, because the talks between him and her have failed? No matter what the reason is, whoever refuses whom, in the eyes of Ron and others, he is a laughing stock, and he is slapping himself in the face.
As a boss, this will definitely affect his wise image. God knows how they will ridicule and laugh at him behind his back. Michael attaches great importance to his reputation. He can do things that few successful men can do, such as loving his wife, children and taking care of the family. It is also because he wants to shape his own image into a great one, so that more people will admire him. In his heart, career comes first and image comes second.
There was no reason for him to take back the decision he had made in front of so many people, but Liu? was so stubborn and refused to back down. What should he do?
Michael quickly came up with a solution.
He said to Liu, "Even if I agree that the movie version should be the same worldwide, it's useless. The director must also agree. In Hollywood, the director has a lot of say, and they are also one of the investors. How about this, you go to audition for "Here Comes the Heroes 5". The audition is hosted by director Ron Newell himself. I'll tell him in advance that if you can pass his audition, your scenes will definitely not be deleted."

This audition was originally planned. It was for all new characters in the fifth film that had not appeared in the first four films, including this Chinese character. If Michael insisted on choosing Liu?, Ron would not care about this role and it would be a waste of time.
Michael was very cunning. He planned to contact Ron as soon as he got back and apologize for the previous quarrel. He said that he felt bad and wanted to respect his idea and let Liu? participate in the audition, without any backdoor, and compete fairly with other Asian actresses for the role. With Ron's disgust for Liu?, he was sure that she would not be selected.
In the end, Liu? did not get the role. It was her own problem and had nothing to do with him. He could only express his regret.
Liu? had no idea that Michael's little plan was so sinister. He seemed to be trying to solve the problem, and his tone was that of a good discussion. She even thought Michael's suggestion was very good. The advantage of auditioning was that she could know in advance whether she was suitable for the role. She didn't want to sign the contract in a hurry. What if she regretted it after signing it?
He Lushen felt something was wrong. He had said all the good things about the performance of "Han Palace Autumn Moon" and had deeply felt Micheal's cunning and profit-seeking. Liu? didn't give Micheal face, so he didn't have any reason to help her. He and Liu? didn't have any special relationship. They had only met twice so far.
At this time, the waiter brought the dishes, opened the wine, and poured a glass for each of the three of them. With the wine and food in front of them, Michael was not as interested as he was at the beginning. However, he still took the initiative to raise his glass to Liu, "Is it decided? What do you think?"
"Okay, I'll take the audition," Liu also raised his glass, completely unaware that he had stepped into a trap.
"Adam (He Lushen's English name), wouldn't you like a drink?" Micheal looked at He Lushen.
He Lushen quickly picked up the cup, but his brows were still furrowed. He was very confused and wondered if he had tricked Liu again.
Three cups filled with purple wine clinked together.
During this meal, only Liu was in the mood to enjoy the food.
The next day, Micheal sent Liu? the detailed audition information. The time was the Monday after next, and the location was in Los Angeles. The time was no problem. Liu? would probably finish recording Jason's new song and shooting the MV in a week, but she still had to go to Los Angeles...what a hassle.
Liu? has not been idle since coming to the United States. In addition to these new tasks, she has to continue teaching live on "Xuewen Tumo". The popularity of her and Li Xiaoru's "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" and "Spring River Moon Night", as well as the new Chinese character tattoo she designed for Jason, has spread from the Internet to China. She taught her classmates and viewers how to write "Spring River Moon Night" and the eight characters on Jason's body in the live broadcast room. To her surprise, the first time a foreign netizen paid to enter her live broadcast room, she saw long paragraphs of English messages.
