    Bruce Willis?  Richard?

    Looking at the smiling headshot on the website, the more Ye Wei looked at it, the more he felt it suited him!  Willis is currently the best candidate after Hanks, and in some aspects can be said to be a better fit.

    This 48-year-old man is a member of the 25 million salary club and is one of the top actors in Hollywood today.

    From the Broadway stage to the TV screen and then to the big screen, with the "Die Hard" series, he became one of the representative figures of the group of action superstars in the 1980s and 1990s, and he was famous all over the world.  With huge fame and countless fans, it is really the favorite of overseas publishers.

    If you think that because he is most famous for his cool tough guy image, you think he has no acting skills, you would be wrong.

    Willis is far more than just an action star. He has won the Emmy Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Comedy ("Blue Moonlight Detective Agency", 1985), and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture.  Nominated for supporting actor ("The End of the World", 1989) and four times nominated for Best Actor at the Saturn Awards. He has a wide range of roles, including funny guy, loving father, and grumpy veteran, all of which are admirable and admirable.  This is not surprising, he came from Broadway!

    So in the mid-to-late 1990s, when the trend of muscular tough guy action gradually passed away, the audience either liked to watch special effects action movies, or they liked to watch funny acrobatic action movies like Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour", Stallone, Shange-Yun  Traditional action stars such as Don and others want to transform, otherwise they will go downhill.

    But their acting career is not as good as Willis's, so their transformation is not as good as that of Stallone. Although he has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor ("Rocky", 1976), the performance of "Police Empire" in 1997 was passable, and the performance of "Police Empire" in 2000 was acceptable.  "Killing Out" was a complete flop, and it's still struggling to this day.

    As for Willis, his status has not declined but has risen. His record for the highest salary per film is not that of Schwarzenegger, but his commercial value is actually higher.

    Because he can play the role of the fatherly worker in "The Last Day" (1998), the sad psychiatrist in "The Sixth Sense" (1999), and the frustrated middle-aged man in "Return My Innocence" (2000).  Man With these films, he has successfully weathered the crisis of changing film trends and remains in the 25 million salary club.

    Why do you think he is more suitable in certain aspects?

    "Look at "The Sixth Sense", which was the most critical part of his transformation period. This thriller and suspense drama has a global box office of 670 million U.S. dollars, and was nominated for 6 Oscars including Best Picture. It was both a critical success and a hit!  Its director and screenwriter M-Night Shyamalan was only 28 years old when he shot this film.

    Shyamalan is also a legend. He made more than 40 family short films at the age of 17. He was nominated for the Oscar for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay at the age of 29. He is currently a front-line thriller commercial film director in Hollywood.  But at that time, he was nothing, or an unlucky newcomer whose screen debut "Little Devils" (1998) cost 6 million and only received 280,000 at the box office.

    However, Willis starred in "The Sixth Sense"!  Although he received a salary of 20 million to star in the movie, it still shows something. He has a good vision in selecting movies and he dares to give young people opportunities. Not everyone has the interest and courage to believe in a 28-year-old newcomer director.  This is very important!

    Another point is that Shyamalan is of Indian descent.  Racial discrimination and racial prejudice do indeed exist. Ye Wei also has a lot of experience in this regard. Some people just think that Asians cannot do certain things, but Willis does not seem to be the kind of prejudiced person.  people.

    Willis also guest-starred in "Friends" a few years ago, in three episodes!  Although he has to keep his promise because he lost the box office bet with Matthew Perry, not every superstar has this kind of leisurely attitude. He dares to bet, which means he dares to play. In his career, he has a gambling spirit!

    And he never minded playing the role of father, middle-aged loser, funny guy on and off the screen. He even dared to die on the screen. This guy is not narrow-minded!

    "Wow!" Ye Wei couldn't help but let out an excited and weird exclamation, causing Toto to open his eyes slightly and look up at the situation.

    If we say who among these superstars has the greatest chance of starring in "Little Miss Sunshine", it is undoubtedly Willis!

    But the difficulty has not diminished at all. It is more difficult than an unknown programmer trying to convince Bill Gates, "Hey, Bill, Microsoft should fund me to develop a software." Because software can basically distinguish good from bad based on ideas, and  As for the movie, it¡¯s unknown whether it will be released in theaters.

    No one said this was easy!

    At the moment, Ye Wei took a piece of paper and took notes, identifying several main targets: Richard, Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis; Grandpa, Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicoll.  Sen, Robert De Niro; Cheryl, Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock.

    The most important goal: Bruce Willis!

      Ta da!  The tip of the ballpoint pen clicked on "Bruce-Willis" a few times. Ye Wei was a little excited, Sheriff, you will be shocked by Brother Wei!

    I really want to discuss this great plan with Willis in detail right away. The question is how to get on the line?  He looked at the computer screen. Although there was Willis's contact information on IMDbPRo, as a middle school student, he was looking for death by using this formal channel to contact his agent

    "A ninth grader asked Willis to make a movie? April Fool's Day hasn't come yet!" The agent immediately hung up the phone. Willis himself would not even know that such a thing had happened.

    So he had to take another way, a shortcut.  He thought about it, what kind of connections and resources does he have in the film industry now?  Kevin Thomas?  Or the guys from Focus Movies?

    Stop talking nonsense!  Ye Wei picked up the phone, pressed a few times, and settled on a name in the address book, yes, Lily Collins.

    She might be able to help with this matter, because her father is a rock star and her mother is the president of an influential women's club. Does she have any connections?  Even if it doesn't exist, she can turn it into yes just by asking around.

    It was only after nine o'clock, so Ye Wei dialed without hesitation, beeped a few times, and got through. Lily's clear voice with a British accent came out: "HELLO, bastard."

    "Hi, good evening, beauty. Are you free to chat on the phone?"

    ¡°Hmm¡­not really, I haven¡¯t finished my homework yet¡­¡±

    "Wow, you didn't ask your nanny to do it for you?" Ye Wei exclaimed. There is really a lot of homework at Harvard-Westlake. Adding up all the subjects, it is normal to have more than an hour of homework a day. It is even more on weekends. Saturdays and  There is always one night on Sunday reserved for them, it depends on the student's choice.

    "Never." Lily's voice sounded a little angry, "I'm not the kind of spoiled celebrity daughter. My mother let me go to Harvard-Westlake just because she wanted me to receive a rigorous education. But why didn't she know?  There are students like you in the school," she said and smiled.

    "How am I doing? I've finished all my homework, and I work harder than you." Ye Wei said in a serious tone. He now does no more than 10 minutes of homework every day, as if he was signing off from his boss.

    Lily already knew this situation and immediately smiled and said: "Okay, smart kid, do you know how to solve this math problem? It's like this"

    "No, no, no, don't tell! I signed the code of honor, 'My conscience is my guide.' Telling you the answer will make my conscience uneasy and I can't tell you."

    "Come on, please, tell me!"

    "Okay, let me tell you quietly" Ye Wei solved the math problem for her and taught her both fish and fish. Lily suddenly understood, and then he said: "Let's talk about business. Regarding the target candidates of the big stars, I  There is already a list.¡±

    After Lily decided to dream with him, she fully supported the matter. When she heard this, she asked with interest: "Who is there?"

    Ye Wei read the list again, and finally joked: "There is also Phil Collins, Richard." Lily's laughter immediately came from the phone, as if she was disdainful: "He? His acting skills are so bad, you  You haven¡¯t seen the two bad movies he acted in, they were simply disasters.¡±

    "You mean "Train Robbers" and "Super Deception"?" Ye Wei responded while checking IMDbPRo.

    "How do you know!? Have you seen it? Oh no"

    "I have watched thousands of movies, but I have never seen these two. I just looked them up on IMDb, but I have watched his debut on the screen, "A Night Out," and he did a great job."

    "A Night Out" (1964) was actually the Beatles' first movie. 13-year-old Phil Collins had a small role in it, one of a group of child fans. At that time, he had not even played rock and roll.  He also became a rock star, and this performance became so interesting and magical that Paul McCartney said he couldn't believe it.

    "Yes, he acted pretty well there." Lily suppressed a smile, "You know he was an extra that time, right?"

    "What! Really? I always thought this was a movie about rock stars."

    "No"

    After joking for a while, both of them were tired of laughing, and Ye Weicai became serious. He talked about who the key target was and why, and then said: "Do you have any way to contact Willis? It would be best to meet once.  , face to face conversation.¡±

    Lily was silent and said thoughtfully: "I know his eldest daughter, Ramo Willis, who is a tenth grader at Wildwood School. I don't have much friendship with her, but we are still friends.  "I talked to her and her mom, Demi Moore, a few times at the Beverly Hills Women's Club."

    "That's great!" Ye Wei said excitedlyStand up from the chair and walk around the room casually with your phone in hand, "I feel like I'm on a direct path!"

    "Don't be so happy yet." Lily stopped him and explained: "I'm really not familiar with Lamo Willis, she may not be willing to help, and I don't know her and her father.  How is the relationship, maybe"

    Ye Wei's oh sound immediately reminded Willis and Demi Moore that they had been divorced for several years, and there was indeed a possibility that Ramo Willis would fall out with him.

    He quickly returned to the computer, checked the IMBb information of Charamo Willis, and said, "There should be no problem. In 2000, she also appeared in "The Whole Nine Yards" starring Willis, so there is no problem.  Plus, Ramo is clearly not my type, so you can rest assured."

    "Who cares!" Lily was about to roll her eyes and said in a nonchalant tone: "You can do whatever you want, and besides me, a fool, I will support you in this matter. Who else will treat it as a joke? At dinner before, I told  My mother, you know what she said?"

    "What?" Ye Wei was very interested.

    "She said, you are either a genius or a madman! But no matter what, you are a dangerous person, so let me be careful."

    "Oh, that makes sense. I'm too hot and could explode like a bomb at any time. You should listen to your mother and be careful."

    "I will!"

    The two of them laughed and chatted for a while, because Lily had Ramo Willis¡¯s mobile phone number, so without further ado, they ended the call and called immediately

    Ye Wei waited quite nervously, walking around the room, hitting the sandbag for a while, doing sit-ups, and playing football After nearly half an hour, when he was sweating profusely, his phone finally rang.  , Lily¡¯s call!
