Chapter 626: Tired
Wang Shu found that he seemed to be in a crowd of compliments, and the meal ended with all kinds of compliments.
The three of them left the hotel, Ren Zhonglun left first, leaving Wang Shu and Ning Jing.
Ning Jing was waiting for Ren Zhonglun to leave first. After seeing Ren Zhonglun leave, she immediately looked at Wang Shu eagerly: "Director Wang, if you have a role in the future, will you really consider me?"
Although Wang Shu had promised before, she knew that they were all polite remarks.
At this moment, I couldn’t help but talk about this topic again.
Wang Shu answered with a smile: "Sister Jing, didn't you just say that? If there is a role suitable for you, I will definitely call you."
After Ning Jing heard this, she rolled her eyes at Wang Shu.
To her, this was prevarication.
He pursed his lips with a hint of self-pity and said: "Can't you give me an accurate letter?"
Wang Shu was in a dilemma: "Sister Jing, I think you also know that the actors I choose are basically more in line with the characters in the script."
"So, the certainty I can give you is that if there is a role suitable for you, I will definitely call you."
"But" Ning Jing opened her mouth but did not say anything.
She wanted to say that there are many actors in the entertainment industry who are suitable for her role and others.
For example, Gong Li can cover her acting career.
It is possible that the role suitable for her will be played by someone else.
It was just that these words were demeaning to myself, so I didn't say anything.
Finally, he sighed helplessly, "Forget it, I hope you really have me as Sister Jing in your heart."
After Wang Shu heard this, he held Ning Jing's hand with an innocent expression and answered: "I always have Sister Jing in my heart."
This action combined with these words instantly made Ning Jing's whole body moved, and her heart became twisted.
However, Wang Shu's innocent appearance made her feel embarrassed.
After all, he is a senior actor. He quickly managed his emotions, rolled his eyes, and pretended to be helpless and said: "You are the only one with a sweet mouth."
She did not pull her hand away and let Wang Shu hold her.
Wang Shu did not let go, but continued to say with a face full of innocence and guilt: "I really always have Sister Jing in my heart."
"It's not that I don't give you the role of Sister Jing, it's just that there has never been a role suitable for you, whether it's the role in the script or the influence of other factors."
"If there was, I would have called you long ago."
When Ning Jing heard this, she briefly recalled the many actresses who had worked with Wang Shu.
That seems to be the case.
For example, as the female lead in "Terror Cruise", Ning Jing felt that this role was suitable for her.
But Han Sanping wanted to expand the lineup and immediately invited Gong Li.
In this way, she can only stand aside.
Another example is "Travel to Taipei". Li Binbin played the heroine because of an equity transaction between Wang Shu and Huayi.
After just a brief recollection, Ning Jing became more and more aware that she was in an awkward situation.
The roles that suit her are often replaced by bigger actresses.
It's a role that doesn't suit her, and given Wang Shu's filming style, she wouldn't be invited to star in it.
Very helpless.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt an impulse in my heart.
Wang Shu has never been in love, and he was once able to become a beauty out of anger, which shows that he is relatively simple in relationships.
Coupled with the fact that he is young and energetic, he definitely wants women.
In this case, is it possible?
Ning Jing had a strong impulse in her heart, but a trace of kindness in her heart told her that she shouldn't harm such a simple-minded young man like Wang Shu.
There are some that I can’t let go of.
"Oh, I don't blame you." Ning Jing's voice softened, "I was just talking."
When Wang Shu heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
The two chatted for a while and then left.
Ning Jing walked a few steps and couldn't help but look back at Wang Shu and saw Wang Shu walking in the other direction.
It wasn't until I turned around several times and saw Wang Shu getting into the car, and then watched Wang Shu go away, that I started walking again.
"Director Wang, let's go watch a movie together, do you want to go?" Wang Shu just returned to his apartment in the city and sat down for a cup of tea when he received a call from Yang Mi.
The reason is that he does not plan to renew his contract with Rong Xinda, and he is very free at this time.
"What movie?" Wang Shu asked.
""Midnight Taxi", do you want to watch it?" Yang Mi asked with a smile.
""Midnight Taxi"?" Wang Shu pretended to be confused, as if he had never heard of it at all.
In fact, of course he knew about this movie. "Midnight Taxi" was the last ghost film to hit theaters that actually contained ghosts.
Since then, the policy has been further tightened.
There are no more ghosts in horror movies that hit theaters.
"Hey, let's watch a romantic movie from Hong Kong together?" Yang Mi invited with a smile.
What a romantic movie? !
When Wang Shu heard this, he immediately complained in his heart.
However, he also knew that what Yang Mi said was not wrong.
Although "Midnight Taxi" is a ghost movie, it can also be regarded as a love movie.
Wang Shu saw through Yang Mi's deception but didn't say anything, and then asked: "When are we going to see him?"
"Do you have time tonight?" Yang Mi asked cheerfully.
Wang Shu thought for a moment and said: "Then I'll treat you to dinner tonight, and then go after dinner."
"Hey, come pick me up." Yang Mi said happily.
"Okay." Wang Shu responded with a smile.
In the evening, Wang Shu and Yang Mi had dinner together.
In the private room, Yang Mi sat opposite Wang Shu, and occasionally put vegetables in Wang Shu's bowl.
Seeing this, Wang Shu complained: "You eat it yourself, I will pick it up myself."
When Yang Mi heard this, she pouted a little aggrievedly.
After a while, Wang Shu found that Yang Mi kept staring at him and complained again: "Why are you watching me while you are eating?"
"You're so handsome, can't I help but look at you?" Yang Mi replied with a witticism.
As long as there is another person here, Yang Mi and Sima Zhao's heart can be seen in an instant and everyone will know it.
Of course, Wang Shu also saw it.
It's just that he is pretending to be a fool.
And this was originally in line with his character.
"Ha." Wang Shu chuckled and didn't say much.
Yang Mi pouted, speechless at Wang Shu's incomprehensible reaction, and then said: "I am an actor and I need to manage my figure. I can't eat too much."
"Then I sit across from you and look at you when it's okay?"
This statement is reasonable and well-founded, and there is indeed nothing wrong with it.
Wang Shu smiled and continued eating.
Seeing this, Yang Mi pouted, as if she was complaining about something in her heart, and then said: "Director Wang, don't you know that I don't plan to renew my contract with Rong Xinda?"
"Now companies in the mainland and companies in Hong Kong have contacted me. Do you think I should sign with a company in Hong Kong or a company in the mainland?"
Wang Shu said without hesitation: "You make up your own mind on this. Just sign whichever you think is better."
Although Hong Kong Entertainment will soon be swept into the sewer, Yang Mi signed a contract with a Hong Kong agency and starred in the TV series "Gong Lock Heart Jade". It was also because she signed a contract with a Hong Kong agency and starred with Chen Xiaochun. The movie "Far Cry" officially opened the movie era.
Therefore, if Wang Shu analyzed the decline of Hong Kong entertainment to her, Yang Mi signed a contract with a mainland agency, and everything changed. And the development is not as good as the original timeline, so he did bad things with good intentions.
In addition, he also knew that Yang Mi was a very independent person.
So, just prevaricate directly.
When Yang Mi heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes in return.
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. I tell you this because I want you to help me make up my mind, but in the end, I only know how to eat!"
She didn't dare to say this in front of Wang Shu, she only dared to complain in her heart.
"I'm quite confused now, I don't know which side to choose." Yang Mi said in a low voice.
When Wang Shu heard this, he knew that Yang Mi had most likely made up her mind to sign with a Hong Kong agency.
Because these days, Hong Kong Island is still a skinny camel bigger than a horse, and a bunch of actors from the mainland are still trying to squeeze their way into Hong Kong.
Then he said: "This matter is related to your career development, and I don't know much about this, so it's better for you to make your own decision."
Yang Mi curled her lips again after hearing this.
As a great director, how could Wang Shu not know anything about this?
Obviously shirk.
As for the reason for the evasion, Yang Mi also had an idea.
To put it bluntly, she was worried that if her career failed to improve after signing with the corresponding brokerage company, she would inevitably take the blame.
Yang Mi complained silently in her heart. Not long after dinner was over, the two went to the movie circle to watch the movie "Midnight Taxi".
Sitting in the cinema, as the movie was playing, Yang Mi was so frightened that she suddenly grabbed Wang Shu's hand.
At this moment, Wang Shu could not help but wonder whether Yang Mi wanted to watch this movie on purpose and then take advantage of it.
According to Wang Shu, "Midnight Taxi" is not scary.
However, after all, there is some terrifying atmosphere, which is so reasonable for Yang Mi.
However, her motivation for choosing to come to the cinema to watch this movie is worth considering.
As the movie continued to play, Yang Mi seemed to become more and more nervous. Not only did she hold Wang Shu's hand, she also pulled Wang Shu's hand onto her lap and grabbed it.
"Yeah!"
As the high-energy camera suddenly appeared, Yang Mi was frightened and threw herself into Wang Shu's arms.
"." Wang Shu looked at the picture on the screen and scratched his head.
Is it that scary?
No?
"I'm afraid~" Yang Mi murmured in Wang Shu's arms.
Wang Shu sighed, then stroked Yang Mi's head and comforted: "It's okay."
After a while, Yang Mi raised her head and looked at Wang Shu eagerly.
This look sent out an ambiguous signal.
The movie ended and the two walked out of the cinema.
Yang Mi said in a low voice: "I broke up with my boyfriend."
"?" Wang Shu looked confused after hearing this.
Of course he knew the subtext of these words, which didn't stop him from pretending to be confused.
When Yang Mi saw Wang Shu's appearance, she felt that Wang Shu was too confused. She immediately became angry and said in a low voice, "I'm going back."
"Well, I'll give it to you." Wang Shu replied.
"." Yang Mi was speechless.
The cinema was some distance away from Yang Mi's home. As she was driving back to see Yang Mi back, Yang Mi had already managed her emotions.
She secretly glanced at Wang Shu several times, and finally said aloud: "The movie is so scary. I will definitely have nightmares and cannot sleep alone at night."
Wang Shu heard this and continued to ask in confusion: "Don't you live with your parents? You don't live alone. With your family, there is nothing to be afraid of?"
"." Yang Mi choked.
After a pause, he asked again: "Aren't you afraid?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Wang Shu asked manly.
"."Yang Mi.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Mi continued: "I thought you would be scared and planned to accompany you."
When Wang Shu heard this, he turned his head and smiled like a spring breeze, and said: "It's okay, I'm not afraid at all."
"." Yang Mi was completely speechless and looked out the car window with a slumped face.
He hinted again and again, but the person next to him didn't understand.
Tired!
Not long after, Wang Shu sent Yang Mi back.
Yang Mi stood on the roadside and watched Wang Shu drive away, stamping her feet angrily.
Wang Shu returned to the villa, took a shower on his front feet, and Mei Ting came over on his back feet.
It wasn't that he didn't understand what Yang Mi meant, but that Mei Ting had already promised him that she would come to his house in the evening.
Since I don’t have much time to do at night, it’s better to maintain my personality.
"Do you like it?" Mei Ting came out of the bathroom, wearing a very sexy little outfit, and asked with a smile while leaning on the edge of the door.
Although it is very cold in Beijing in January, Wang Shu's villa has heating.
Not cold at all.
Therefore, even though Mei Ting was wearing such cool clothes, she would not shiver from the cold.
"I like it." Wang Shu's eyes lit up when he saw Mei Ting's outfit.
"I knew you would like it." Mei Tiao bit her lip and said wisely.
Wang Shu chuckled and walked over impatiently.
Immediately
January 18th.
One month after "Pacific Rim" was released, mainland theaters grossed 1.035 billion at the box office.
This data once again shocked the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
The emergence of this box office has made the domestic film circle restless.
In just one month, practitioners in the film industry have clearly felt that there are many more investors in the circle.
Some come from Hong Kong, Taipei, and some are eager to invest in other domestic industries.
In short, the film industry suddenly became lively.
In addition to the 1.035 billion box office in the mainland, "Pacific Rim" also made 225 million US dollars in North America.
This time, "Pacific Rim" is directed by Wang Shu, an Oscar-winning director, and stars Chen Long. The special effects are indeed excellent, the publicity and distribution are in place, and the number of screens is guaranteed.
With the addition of various conditions, it achieved a box office of US$225 million in North America.
Even though it is only 225 million, this box office is actually considered a high-grossing movie in North America.
If nothing else, just say "Twilight", which has a box office of more than 100 million US dollars in North America, can be called a hit movie.
Of course, comparing the investment, "Twilight" has already made money at the box office in North America alone, plus overseas box office, etc., the producers have indeed made a lot of money.
There is nothing wrong with calling it a hit movie.
"Pacific Rim" is a little different in comparison.
Because, counting only the box office in North America, "Pacific Rim" has not recovered its investment cost.
However, if it is considered as a global box office, it not only recovers the cost, but also makes a lot of money.
Except for China and North America, which are two regions where the film was released later, other regions will be released later.
In other words, some regions are only starting to release it now.
But no matter what, the global box office has exceeded 550 million US dollars.
And, it is expected to reach US$600 million!
