Chapter 585 Don’t be impatient, drive slowly
Shu Qi happened to see the expressions of the two people and said helplessly: "Okay, I heard these words from them at President Huayi Wang's dinner before."
"They say that Director Wang's films are not novel in Hollywood, but they are eye-catching in China."
"This bright spot naturally cultivates the audience's expectations. Coupled with the comparison with the works of other domestic directors, it also increases the audience's expectations for Director Wang's film."
"These expectations will be reflected in the box office of the movies he directs."
"In general, it's word of mouth."
"Now Director Wang is not only an Oscar-winning director, he has also proven his strength in the field of commercial films."
"Although he only debuted for a short period of time, only four or five years, due to his high output and the ability to ensure the quality of his films, he has already built a reputation that exceeds that of famous directors such as Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang."
"So now, the name Wang Shu not only has the same box office appeal as famous directors such as Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, but even surpasses them."
"The summary is that Director Wang is really great."
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Xun again and said with a smile, "So, Xun'er, you must take what I just said about recommending me to Director Wang."
"Mr. Wang and others said that Director Wang's style is more Hollywood, so Director Wang can thrive in Hollywood."
"In my opinion, since Director Wang is able to work in Hollywood, doesn't it mean that those of us have the opportunity to enter the Hollywood stage through Director Wang?"
Among the three, Chen Kun graduated from Beijing Film Academy.
But although the Beijing Film Academy is a school, it is an art school and does not have high requirements for cultural achievements.
As for Zhou Xun and Shu Qi, their cultural achievements can be ignored.
Therefore, although these three people are all well-known actors in the industry, in fact, one of them is not good at learning, and it is impossible to say that they have knowledge of concepts such as quantum mechanics.
A well-known person in domestic entertainment once said, if you study well, who will go to film school?
Who would still be an actor?
Isn't it just that I don't study well and my heart is as high as the sky, so I squeeze into this circle?
This is so true that many people cannot refute it.
When Zhou Xun heard Shu Qi's last words, he could only respond: "Don't worry, I will mention it to her whenever I have the chance."
When Shu Qi heard this, he immediately smiled with satisfaction.
However, Zhou Xun also had careful thoughts. Although she agreed with her words, in the end, it was up to her to decide whether and when to mention Shu Qi in Wang Shu's ears.
To be honest, if she recommended Chen Kun to Wang Shu, she would not spare any effort.
It's not that she has other ideas about Chen Kun, but that Chen Kun is an actor.
Recommending Chen Kun to Wang Shu not only sells a favor to her friend Chen Kun, but also has no impact on her own interests.
Shu Qi is different.
Both are actresses, and Shu Qi has a higher status on the international stage.
Recommending Shu Qi to Wang Shu will undoubtedly add a strong competitor to himself.
Chen Kun seemed to see that Zhou Xun was in trouble. As a bystander, he also guessed why Shu Qi was in trouble, and then changed the subject and said: "What Shu Qi just said is right, Director Wang's reputation now exceeds that of Zhang Director and Director Feng ”
"It is precisely because of this, and because it is a science fiction film that he is good at, that he can take on this drama without reading the script."
Zhou Xun followed this topic and said: "You guys praise Director Wang too much."
"Her reputation surpasses Director Zhang and Director Feng, there is no denying this."
"But, there are limitations."
“It should be said that Director Wang’s reputation among young people exceeds that of Director Zhang and Director Feng.”
"If it's the middle-aged and elderly people, Director Zhang and Director Feng are better."
"The reputation they have accumulated over the years cannot be shaken by Director Wang in just a few years."
When Shu Qi and Chen Kun heard this, they also felt that it made sense. After all, Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang had been famous for many years and had already accumulated a deep reputation.
Among young people, Wang Shu is even better.
Among the middle-aged and elderly people, the status of Zhang and Feng should be difficult to shake easily.
For example, Zhou Xingxing's movie was introduced to China in the 1990s and received a lot of criticism.
When those born in the 1980s and 1990s entered the society, Zhou Xingxing immediately raised his profile in the mainland.
Different eras have different cognitions and accept different things.
This principle can also be applied to Wang Shu.
The science fiction films he directed are even more popular among young people.
It’s just that it’s 2009 now, and not only those born in the 1980s, but also those born in the 1990s are gradually entering the society.
As those born in the 1980s and 1990s became the pillars of society, the advantage became more and more favorable to Wang Shu.
For example, Feng Xiaogang was able to achieve very good results when he filmed "If You Are the One" these days. More than ten years later, he filmed the sequel to "If You Are the One" and it immediately hit the market.
It is Feng Xiaogang's urban comedies that have fallen behind the times.
The three of them chatted while eating. They all needed to take care of their bodies and didn't eat much.
After dinner, Shu Qi suggested going to the bar.
Zhou Xun not only smokes and drinks, but is also a frequent visitor to bars.
In other words, when she came to the capital in her early years, she sang in bars to make ends meet.
During this period, she was spotted by a big boss and asked her to accompany him for a drink.
Zhou Xun was only a resident singer, not accompanying the guests to drinks, so he refused the request.
Then, he was beaten up by the boss’s younger brother and his front teeth were knocked out.
When Zhou Xun heard Shu Qi talking about going to the bar, he declined politely: "Forget it, I don't know if it's because of what I just ate or what I ate for lunch. My stomach feels a little uncomfortable and I want to go back and rest."
When Chen Kun heard this, he asked with concern: "Is it not serious?"
Zhou Xun shook his head and said: "It's an old problem. It should be good to go back and have a rest." Chen Kun nodded, looked at Shu Qi and said: "Since Xun'er won't go, then I won't go either. I'm still going. I’m thinking about going back and studying the script.”
Seeing that Chen Kun was so impatient, Shu Qi couldn't force it, and sighed: "If you don't go, then I won't go either."
Zhou Xun smiled and said: "Then I'll go back first."
"Let's go, everyone go back." Shu Qi answered helplessly.
Afterwards, the three of them went home.
But Zhou Xun didn't really go home. Instead, he took out his cell phone and dialed Wang Shu's number.
"Sister Xun." Wang Shu's voice rang after the call was connected.
"Are you busy?" Zhou Xun asked calmly.
"At the company, just about to leave." Wang Shu answered with a smile.
"You haven't had dinner yet?" Zhou Xun asked slightly surprised.
"Not yet." Wang Shu said with a smile.
"Let's eat something together?" Zhou Xun asked.
"Okay." Wang Shu responded, knowing that Zhou Xun couldn't drive, and then said, "Where are you? I'll pick you up."
After hearing this, Zhou Xun mentioned a location.
After Wang Shu wrote it down, he said: "Wait there for a while, I will be there soon."
"Well, don't be anxious, drive slowly." Zhou Xun reminded him with concern.
Dozens of minutes later, Wang Shu saw Zhou Xun waiting on the roadside and quickly asked her to get in the car.
As soon as Zhou Xun sat in the passenger seat, Wang Shu smelled the smell of alcohol on her body.
Since it smelled like alcohol, it was obvious that he had eaten.
Thinking again about Chen Kun leaving Yishu Company this afternoon with the script of "The Night the Comet Came", the answer is obvious.
Through this detail, Wang Shu already had a guess in his mind.
However, he will pretend not to say it.
Because if it were exposed, there would be no additional benefit other than embarrassing Zhou Xun.
While driving, Wang Shu glanced at Zhou Xun, smiled and praised, "I haven't seen you for a while, and my figure hasn't changed."
"But."
"But what?" Zhou Xun heard Wang Shu say this, with a faint smile on his face, but suddenly heard Wang Shu pause, and immediately asked with a tense expression.
Wang Shu smiled and said: "But...it seems to be getting better and better!"
Zhou Xun didn't expect such a turn, and immediately gave Wang Shu a speechless eye roll with a pretty face and a smile on his face.
Then he said: "Glib tongue."
"I don't know who I learned it from? I am becoming more and more glib."
Wang Shu knew from Zhou Xun's expression that the other party liked to hear such words.
It's just that the inner shame often makes people say things they don't mean.
Then he shouted that he was wronged and said: "I am telling the truth, it really looks better."
"Why didn't I feel it?" Zhou Xun said he didn't believe this nonsense and continued to roll his eyes.
"Of course you won't feel it if you look in the mirror every day." Wang Shu answered speechlessly.
Through Wang Shu's serious demeanor and tone, Zhou Xun felt that Wang Shu was not talking nonsense, and felt that what Wang Shu said made sense. He couldn't help but touch his face and said, "Maybe it's because of the makeup?"
It is impossible to become better looking.
If this is the case, then it will only be due to makeup.
Because she was meeting with Shu Qi today, she specially put on makeup to avoid the sharp contrast between Shu Qi's makeup and her lack of makeup.
Because of this little thought, I put on a delicate makeup.
"Makeup is only secondary, the main thing is that you look good." Of course Wang Shu knew that Zhou Xun's makeup was indeed very good today, so he spared no effort to praise her.
But it is clear, but it cannot be said.
"Humph, you just know how to coax me!" Zhou Xun hummed with a smile on his pretty face.
This is another unintentional statement.
He obviously likes to hear these compliments, but his words are completely different.
"I'm not trying to coax you. I'm telling the truth." Wang Shu looked helpless.
If these words were spoken by anyone else, Zhou Xun would definitely not believe them.
But Wang Shu had the endorsement of his character, so Zhou Xun believed it in his heart.
It is precisely because of my belief that I love to hear uncontrollable complaints at the same time.
"Hmph." Zhou Xun did not continue the topic, but after humming twice proudly, he asked, "You haven't had dinner yet? Where should we eat?"
"You decide." Wang Shu handed the choice to Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun pretended to think for a while and said: "I need to manage my figure. When I am not working, I usually don't eat or eat less at night. Unless there is a party, I will eat more."
"So, it's up to you to decide."
"I don't eat much anyway, so just eat whatever you want."
