332 [Superior]

Harrison Ford is a well-known Hollywood movie star in his previous life. He starred in almost all major movies such as "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, "Air Force One", "The World of Destiny", etc.

He was the first star to enter the [20 million USD Club]. He still received a $25 million salary and a box office income of 5% in Star Wars 7, which was filmed in 2015.

In comparison, Mark Hamill, the actor who plays Luke Skywalker and Kelly Fisher, the actor who plays Princess Lea, have only one-tenth of his pay.

The real protagonists of "Star Wars 7" Daisy Ridley and John Boyega, the two paid only 30 to 500,000 US dollars, which is one-seventy-one of Harrison Ford.

This shows how popular Harrison Ford is. He is still a popular superstar who is 73 years old and still has a strong position in the front line.

Such a brilliant resume is unique in Hollywood, where newcomers emerge and competition is extremely fierce.

However, Harrison Ford is still an unknown person. Although he starred in George Lucas' masterpiece "American Style Painting" in 1973, the film created a miracle in film history, winning a box office of over 100 million US dollars in North America for more than 700,000 US dollars.

But Harrison Ford only played a small role in it and had very few scenes. So although the movie achieved unprecedented success, he himself did not become popular and was still a marginal figure in Hollywood.

Although George Lucas had worked with him before, he has almost forgotten him. After all, it has been three years since filming "American Style Painting".

Now that Ye Jin reminded him, he finally thought of that person.

Harrison Ford in Lucas' memory is a difficult guy with a little slutty look.

When filming "American Style Painting", Lucas hoped that he could change his hairstyle. But Harrison Ford just didn't listen and thought that he had few scenes and was not paid at all. It was not worth cutting his hair off for this, so he found a cowboy hat to put it on.

His stinginess is very similar to the smuggling captain Han Solo.

...

"Well, he can come and try it out, let me see the effect." Lucas said to Ye Jin, "But why did you think of recommending him? Is he your friend too?"

"Of course not. I have never seen him or her before." Ye Jin waved his hand, "I have only watched the movie "American Style Painting". I think he is quite handsome and has a little cynical prodigality, so I think he might be suitable for this role."

Lucas nodded, and he was quite willing to buy this explanation.

"Well, maybe he will be a suitable candidate." Lucas nodded, then pointed to the [Millennium Falcon] spacecraft model and said, "By the way, how do you think this spacecraft model is built? What is the difference between what you imagined?"

This model is one floor high and the size of a house is very large. It is built of metal, rubber, plastic, etc. Although it is big, it is not rough at all, but it is very fine. The engines, hatch doors, radars, etc. are all made in a decent manner, which looks like a lot of thought.

"No, not bad." Ye Jin smiled while observing. "George, you are really amazing. I gave you this movie, and I really didn't choose the wrong person."

"But I still think something is wrong, but I just don't know what's wrong. Can you help me think about it?" George Lucas was not happy when he heard Ye Jin's appreciation, but frowned.

"Improper?!" Ye Jin was stunned and looked at the spaceship carefully. "To be honest, I think this spaceship has been made very finely. How beautiful and clean..."

Such an exquisite model will never appear in the Xiangjiang film industry.

According to Ye Jin's estimate, this spacecraft model alone would not be able to be built without 100,000 US dollars. In the Xiangjiang Film Industry, where a penny would be spent on two halves, the film company would not pay heavy funds, just to build a model.

"Oh, by the way, I know something is wrong." Ye Jin's eyes suddenly lit up and he turned to look at Lucas and said.

"Where?" Lucas quickly asked.

"This spacecraft is too clean." Ye Jin pointed to the spacecraft model and said, with the newly painted paint on it, which was very clean and beautiful.

"Clean?!" Lucas was still a little puzzled.

"Yes. Think about it, as a smuggling ship that has been wandering in the vast universe for many years, it has experienced battles and encountered various dangers. How could it be so clean in appearance?

Its fuselage should have signs of wear, collision, and shooting... It looks like a spaceship that has been stormy for a long time." Ye Jin explained.

George Lucas's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Before Star Wars, Hollywood also launched science fiction movies many times, with all kinds of spacecraft in it. But without exception, they are very clean, very comfortable, and full of futuristic science fiction.

For example, the famous "2001 Space Odyssey" has a very clean and beautiful spacecraft in both appearance and interior, which is simply the dream space home.

But if you think about it carefully, "Star Wars" is an era of space navigation. Spacecraft is as popular as cars. How can such a means of transportation be spotless? It should be like a second-hand car. It is normal for collisions, wear, and bumps.

I always felt something was wrong when I looked at this model before. Now when Ye Jin reminded me, I finally knew what was wrong.

"No, no, a smuggling boat is not so clean." George Lucas smiled, "Mr. Ye, you have really sharp eyes and really smart insights."

So many of them didn't expect this, but Ye Jin found the crux of the matter after only a moment of coming. Such a vision and such insight are really admirable.

"Thank you for the praise." Ye Jin smiled.

He could see this because it was actually thanks to the bad movies in the mainland.

Those bad movies often use traffic stars, young actors, and young flowers to star. What they care most about is not their acting skills, nor whether the story is reasonable or not, but whether they are beautiful enough.

In order to ensure their appearance, they must pursue beauty, beauty, and beauty no matter when and wherever they are. Even if they are fighting on the battlefield, their armor is still bright, just like they have their own cleaning function.

Over time, these have become the points of complaints that everyone complains and become well-known.

Therefore, when Ye Jin saw this Millennium Falcon so new and beautiful, he thought of this disharmonious point.
