Chapter 645
Wang Shu leaned on the bedside and looked at Gong Li who stood up to rinse her mouth. He had to admit that even though she was no longer green, she still maintained an excellent figure.
Moreover, he also knows how to cater and please.
This is very different from a young girl.
Young girls often cannot provide emotional value, but experienced people like Gong Li are different.
Full of emotional value, both physically and mentally happy.
"Didn't Director Han call you to go back to China to film?" Gong Li returned to bed and asked while interacting with "Wang Shu".
Wang Shu is so awesome, she likes him very much.
"Shouted." Wang Shu responded truthfully.
"What's going on?" Gong Li looked up at Wang Shu.
She knew very well that opportunities would be hard to come by in Hollywood, and her golden period as an actress was getting shorter and shorter. She not only had unknown anxieties deep in her heart, but also didn't want to waste her time.
I have to find something to do, and I can't weaken my image as an international movie queen.
It's not that there are no directors or film and television companies in China looking for her to cooperate, but she doesn't like them.
What I can take a fancy to are the film and television works prepared by great directors such as Wang Shu and Zhang Yimou.
Especially since Wang Shu is now an Oscar-winning director, even if he directs a Chinese-language film, it may still be released in Europe and the United States.
So Gong Li is very interested in Wang Shu's film works.
Wang Shu had been intrigued again by the other party's actions. He couldn't help but tap the other party's head to indicate, and said: "What else could it be? Of course I declined."
"My film with Paramount will take at least half a year, so how can I have time to go back to China to film?"
Gong Li also knew this. She stopped and looked up and asked, "Director Han will not give up easily, right?"
Wang Shu nodded: "Indeed not."
"He told me a lot of things, but no one was interested."
Gong Li smiled when she heard this and said: "Did you say that as long as you return to China, you will have a share of Huabiao, Golden Rooster, and Baihua?"
"You know all this?" Wang Shu was a little surprised.
Gong Li smiled and said: "The higher-ups have spread the word, and some people will inevitably know about it."
After finishing speaking, he asked, "How do you feel? Do you have any ideas?"
Wang Shu heard this and asked: "Do you think Director Zhang Yimou has any ideas about Huabiao, Golden Rooster, and Baihua?"
This seems to be a rhetorical question, but it has actually been answered.
Gong Li couldn't help but smile: "Indeed, if you have the energy and time to win awards for domestic Chinese watches, Golden Roosters, and Baihuas, you might as well use it to win Oscars or Europe's top three."
When Wang Shu heard this, he said: "Actually... I also have the idea of returning to China to make art films."
"Huh?" Gong Li was confused.
Why was it that you had a different tone just now, and now it has changed?
Wang Shu said with a smile: "Although Director Han's reputation is not very good, he is pretty good to me. He has spoken many times, and I can't always turn a blind eye."
This was just said to Gong Li out of consideration for her mood.
In fact, Wang Shu feels that he is a Chinese-language film director, and it is his duty to contribute to the development of the domestic film field and Chinese-language films.
Of course, before that, we need to be more gilded on the international stage, so that we can be easily silenced when we return home.
It's not good to say this in front of Gong Li.
After all, this person is now a Singaporean.
Hearing this, Gong Li had a smile on her face.
These words reveal a layer of meaning. Wang Shu is a person who misses his old love.
And she once helped Wang Shu introduce Hollywood producers.
Although it's not much, Wang Shu's character of remembering his old love will definitely be remembered.
Not to mention, an honest relationship.
So...
Gong Li began to feel optimistic and felt that if there was a chance, Wang Shu would inevitably invite her to cooperate.
I haven't invited you now just because I really don't have the chance.
In the future...
Thinking of this...
Suddenly, Wang Shu took a breath of cold air.
Gong Li raised her head proudly and asked with a smile: "Then when do you plan to return to China to film?"
"It depends on the situation. If there is a suitable opportunity, I will return to China." Wang Shu said ambiguously.
Gong Li nodded. With Wang Shu's current momentum in Hollywood, there is really no need to rush back to China. He can definitely develop in Hollywood.
It is even said that, like some directors, they can no longer survive in Hollywood and return to China to develop their careers.
However, she felt that the chance of Wang Shu not being able to survive in Hollywood was very small.
Nowadays, Wang Shu is a highly prolific director. If he faces the day when his talents are exhausted, he can definitely reduce his production.
At that time, like many Hollywood directors, it took several years to shoot a movie.
In this case, even if you retire, you won't be able to survive in Hollywood.
Gong Li then complained about herself: "If things don't work out well in Hollywood, I might return to China."
Of course, this is not Singapore.
Singapore is a place as big as a palm, and as an international movie queen, she will not consider it as a retreat.
Not to mention, her base is not in Singapore either.
At this time, some licking dogs will say: "I'm here, don't worry, I will support you later." and a series of words.
Wang Shu was different. He also sighed: "Hollywood is, after all, a stage for Western actors. It is difficult for Asian actors to have a chance to develop here."
"Not only you, but also Japanese and Korean actors."
It is undeniable that Michelle Yeoh is doing well in Hollywood and even won the Oscar for Best Actress in 2023.
However, Michelle Yeoh relied on the image of a womanizer to gain a foothold in Hollywood.
In Hollywood, Michelle Yeoh is famous for her role as a hit girl. Her outstanding performance and real kung fu in action movies have won the love and respect of the audience.
With this unique positioning, she has become a rare yellow-skinned actress, thus gaining the favor of many directors and abundant resources.
Because she has established a firm foothold in Hollywood, Michelle Yeoh can begin to constantly challenge herself in her acting career and try different types of roles.
Not only has she performed well in action films, she has also shown profound acting skills in literary films. For example, her performance in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made her famous internationally.
To put it simply, her ability to gain a foothold in Hollywood is almost the same as Chen Long.
The difference is that Chen Long has always stayed in his comfort zone, and then as he got older and there were good action movie actors in Hollywood, he was eliminated.
Michelle Yeoh was different. She did not stay in her comfort zone. Instead, she changed her acting career after gaining a firm foothold in Hollywood and had a certain voice. Finally, through hard work, she won the Academy Award for Best Actor.
Although Gong Li is one of the top three movie queens in Europe, there is no shortage of movie queens or actors with acting skills in Hollywood, so she has no advantage and no right to speak here.
Without an advantage or a right to speak, it is difficult to have a chance.
In addition, Hollywood is ultimately a European and American stage. Even if Gong Li is an international movie queen, it is inevitable that she will not be able to survive here.
"Oh, it's better to be a director and work behind the scenes." Gong Li sighed.
"Haha, do you want to try being a director?" Wang Shu asked with a smile.
Gong Li shook her head and said: "Without that diamond, it's better not to work with porcelain."
"I may try something in the future, but for now I still focus on my acting career."
She was telling the truth. She had finally come to Hollywood, but her acting career had not improved yet. How could she give up halfway? Even if you try other fields, there is no hope at all.
Wang Shu touched Gong Li's face, and Gong Li gave him a faint smile.
Then he said softly: "Whether your career can improve or not depends on whether you, the great director, will give you a chance."
"Haha, it depends on your performance." Wang Shu pretended to be teasing.
Gong Li knew Wang Shu was joking, so she smiled and rolled her eyes.
Although he rolled his eyes in return, he took action immediately.
Wang Shu took a breath of cold air again.
…………
March 5, 2010.
Wang Shu's apartment in Los Angeles welcomed a guest, none other than Indian national treasure actor Tabu.
Please...you...collect_6_9_书_吧 (六//九//书//吧)
March 7th is the day when the Academy Awards ceremony is held.
Although Tubb was not nominated, he will also walk the Oscar red carpet with the cast of "Life of Pi."
Not only will he walk on the red carpet, but he will also enter the venue with the crew.
As an Indian national treasure actress, she would certainly not disdain any small awards.
The Academy Awards are the most influential film awards in the world.
For actors from many countries around the world, having the opportunity to come here is a rare opportunity, and they will naturally not miss this opportunity.
Before, Tabu said that he would come to Wang Shu's place to visit if he came to Los Angeles in advance, and then came to Wang Shu's apartment.
"Shu, the apartment you live in has a nice environment." Tabu said with a smile.
Wang Shu easily hugged Tabu, kissed him, and then said, "I'll show you."
He took Tabu around the apartment and went to the bedroom.
Then...
Maybe it was because Tabu was very proactive at Wang Shu's house.
But after all, Wang Shu was too strong, and she was defeated before long.
More than an hour later, the two went out and had dinner together.
After dinner, Tabu did not go back to the hotel, but followed Wang Shu to his apartment again.
This night was another night of ecstasy.
When it comes to feelings, there is actually no so-called love between the two.
The world of adults is just about everyone getting what they need.
For Tabu, Wang Shu is young, handsome, and brave, which makes people want to stop him.
Not to mention that Wang Shu is also a talented Oscar-winning director.
I can't stop, and if I maintain such a relationship with Wang Shu, I can also get Hollywood's film and television resources, so I naturally enjoy it.
For Wang Shu, Tabu not only has good looks, but also has a plump figure, and is of a larger physique type.
Relatively speaking, it is also a feature.
Moreover, this actress is a national treasure in India and is a goddess in the minds of many people in India.
With the blessing of identity, you can have a different feeling.
It is undeniable that Tabu is not as tender as the little girl, but he also has advantages that the little girl does not have.
For example, he knows more, is more proactive, and can cater to others.
Another example is that talking about life ideals and life are kept very separate.
Talking freely about life ideals means talking freely about life ideals. It is not because Wang Shu will stick to Wang Shu after talking freely about life ideals, but to take the initiative to separate life and not disturb each other.
Of course, Wang Shu is mainly interested in Tabu's identity.
Indian national treasure actress.
It's a great feeling of conquest.
At home, Jiang Wenli also had a favorable impression of him, and often made excessive moves.
At this time, as long as he flirts with each other, Jiang Wenli and Gu Changwei can basically talk about their life ideals with each other, given their respective living conditions.
However, Wang Shu had no corresponding thoughts.
It's because Jiang Wenli has no status bonus.
Although Jiang Wenli is now the Best Actress in Cannes, she came from a movie made by Wang Shu.
For him, it doesn't count as a status bonus, so it doesn't interest him.
Identity bonus can provide emotional value.
For a director like Wang Shu, who had already been involved in the Internet University before his rebirth and had already unwritten rules for some young actors, he had long lost his novelty towards women.
Once you have experienced it a lot, you will understand that it is just that.
In this case, emotional value is more important.
For example, many rich people or other groups got tired of it and began to pursue all kinds of fancy things.
When you get bored, look for freshness and excitement to get interested.
And for men with little or no experience, they do all kinds of impulsive behaviors that are incomprehensible for this matter.
In short, it is the lower body that determines the brain.
Wang Shu doesn't know that his lower body determines his head, nor is he as perverted as some rich brothers.
Tabu lay next to Wang Shu and whispered: "Shu, can I walk the red carpet with you on Oscar day?"
"Of course!" Wang Shu responded calmly, and then comforted, "We are a crew. If you don't walk the red carpet with me, who will you walk with?"
The actual situation is that as the director of the last Oscar, Wang Shu, the nominated director of this year, will definitely attract much attention when he walks on the red carpet of the Oscar ceremony.
Therefore, there will be many people who want to walk the red carpet of the Oscars with Wang Shu to take this opportunity to gain popularity.
Tabu also felt the same way.
If she walks on the red carpet with the cast and crew of "Life of Pi" or with the actors in the film, even if "Life of Pi" is a nominated film, Wang Shu, the nominated director, will not be more on the red carpet. Attention.
Walking on the red carpet with Wang Shu is a disguised form of gaining the same attention as Wang Shu on the red carpet.
Not only that, but also more face and cards.
Tabu heard this and a smile appeared on his face.
Nominated directors like Wang Shu usually do not walk on the red carpet with the crew, but are treated to walking on the red carpet alone.
It is possible that he is accompanied by a female companion, two people together.
It's also possible to be alone.
Normally, she would have walked the red carpet with the cast of "Life of Pi" without being nominated.
That way, there won't be much attention.
In fact, she doesn't care about attention, but it's a matter of face.
As an Indian national treasure actress, it would be very shameful if the news spread back to India if she was ignored on the red carpet of the Oscars.
Now with Wang Shu, not only will this situation not happen, but he can also save face.
"Shu, thank you!" Tabu, as a mature artist, knew that Wang Shu was comforting her, so he sincerely thanked her.
