End of Chapter 350
In the blink of an eye, it’s mid-December.
The US version of "The Tuner" was finished filming, and the crew held a wrapping party. Wang Shu, Matt Damon, Monica, Kristen and others all attended.
This final banquet is not about sitting around a table and eating together, but the nature of a cocktail party.
When someone was in a hurry, Wang Shu went to the bathroom to pee and suddenly heard the sound of um um ah ah coming from next door.
Wang Shu was not surprised by this.
It is very common for this kind of thing to happen at Hollywood drinking parties.
It is even said that many people just like this kind of excitement and are keen to do this kind of thing during the cocktail party.
It is not necessarily a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, many of them are unspoken rules.
For example, if a young actor participating in a cocktail party wants to obtain resources or get online, he will take the opportunity to actively give hints to some "big guys" in the industry at this time, and then this will happen. matter.
This "big boss" is not necessarily a real "big boss", but a relative "big boss".
For example, for a new actress who has nothing to do with the background, compared to her, even the assistant director in a small crew is considered a "big boss".
After Wang Shu solved the problem, he returned to the reception and did not bother him.
"Shu." Monica saw Wang Shu standing in front of the window and walked over with a smile to say hello.
"Monica, you are so beautiful today." Wang Shu saw Monica coming and praised her without hesitation.
After the words fell, he added, "I don't mean that you are not beautiful at ordinary times."
"You are also very beautiful at ordinary times."
"This dress is even more beautiful today!"< br>
When Monica heard these words, a happy smile filled her face. She blinked and deliberately teased: "Shu, tell the truth, do you want to sleep with me?"
"." Wang Shu didn't expect Monica to be so direct, which caught him off guard.
"Giggle." Monica couldn't help but laugh happily when she saw this.
Wang Shu looked at Monica and asked to regain his dignity: "Will you go to the apartment where I live to drink coffee later?"
Although there was no direct answer, this was also in the air. I just want to sleep with you.
"Hahaha." Of course Monica understood the hidden meaning of Wang Shu's words. She licked her lips and said, "Why go to the apartment where you live? We can go to the bathroom now."< br>
As he spoke, he approached Wang Shu’s eyes and whispered seductively, “Do you want to go to the bathroom with me?”
Wang Shu was not stupid. Of course he knew that Monica was joking, and then responded indifferently: "If you go, I will go."
"Shu, you can go first, I will wait. We'll go over in a while." Monica blinked, "You come first, then me."
"No, no, no, you come first, then me." Wang Shu refused and said his proposal.
After hearing this, Monica raised her lips and hummed: "Do you want to sleep with me?"
"Monica, if you look more sincere, I will believe you. ” Wang Shu was not fooled at all.
Monica was not surprised when she heard this, but said with ambiguous eyes: "Then I will go to the bathroom first?"
"Go ahead." Wang Shu said with a smile.
"Are you coming?" Monica asked with expectant eyes.
Wang Shu didn't know that this was a middle-aged woman teasing him as a young man, and then said: "I still like to be in the apartment."
"But what should I do if I prefer to be in the bathroom? "Monica asked with a faint look in her eyes.
"Then you're a pervert." Wang Shu didn't follow her tricks and hit the nail on the head.
“Haha.” Monica laughed happily at the words, rolled her eyes slightly, and then said, “Shu, what should you do if I want to sleep with you?”
“You are welcome to come to me at any time. apartment." Wang Shu gave the answer.
Monica is definitely not suitable to be a girlfriend at her age.
But no matter what, the other party is one of the sexiest actresses in the world, and has the title of "ball flower", so it is still feasible to sleep with her.
Of course, Monica is a married woman and should not sleep with her.
But, this is America!
Doing as the locals do is the most basic form of respect.
What's more, Monica would have divorced in a few years.
Now, it is in the state of "pending divorce".
Although he said this, Wang Shu actually had no special ideas.
Not to mention, he also knew that Monica was joking.
“But I prefer to be in the bathroom.” Monica said with a smile.
"There is also a bathroom in the apartment." Wang Shu answered seriously.
Monica's expression shrank when she heard this, and she said, "But I prefer the bathroom here."
As he spoke, he looked back at the crowd of people coming and going, and then said, "What do you say?"
"I said?" Wang Shu responded speechlessly, "I said, can you be more serious?"
"Haha." Monica smiled happily and asked with a wink, "Shu, are you shy?"
"How could you be shy?" Wang Shu answered speechlessly as before. , "I just don't want to talk nonsense to you."
Just as Monica was about to continue teasing Wang Shu, Kristen, Matt Damon and others came over.
Monica then lost the fun of teasing Wang Shu.
“Tree.”
A few people greeted Wang Shu, and Wang Shu responded one by one, and then started chatting with each other.
Afterwards, many Hollywood filmmakers came to chat with Wang Shu. Wang Shu maintained a basic polite communication with them.
The reception was over and Wang Shu returned to the apartment.
Returning with him is Christine.
"Shu, are you going back to China next?" Kristen asked while sitting on the sofa and took a sip of water.
"I will probably return to China, and there is a high probability that I will come here again when "The Tuner" is about to be released." Wang Shu responded.
Christine was silent for a moment after hearing this, then she changed the subject with a smile on her face and said: "I have accepted a drama contract to play the heroine, and I should be able to start shooting soon."
Although Christine didn't say the name, Wang Shu also guessed that it was most likely "Twilight".
Since then, "Twilight Girl" has become an instant hit.
“Congratulations!”
Wang Shu congratulated Christine from the bottom of his heart.
It is impossible for Christine to know at this moment that she will become one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood with "Twilight" in the future, but Wang Shu knows it all.
“Haha.” Christine curled her lips.
She would curl her lips, it was this congratulation, and she sounded a little uncomfortable.
This is because the role of the heroine of "The Twilight Saga" was not originally played by her. She got this role because other actresses gave up the role of the "Twilight Saga" It was her turn to play.
In the original timeline, the cast of "The Twilight Saga" originally considered Lily Collins to play Bella Swan. This would have been her first film role, but she chose The Weakness instead.
After the departure of first choice actress Lily Collins, Jennifer Lawrence was also considered for the role, but she ultimately did not get the role.
However, this did not affect her career as she starred in a total of three movies in 2008.
It can be said that before Kristen Stewart officially joined "The Twilight Saga", the film's heroine selection list included many famous actresses in the future.
It is worth mentioning that there is an actress named Sarah Paxton. She made her first movie appearance in the 1990s and is considered quite powerful.
As for Kristen being eventually chosen as the heroine of "The Twilight Saga", it was because she caught the attention of the producers when she visited the set of Adventureland.
She had an "informal audition" there and the producers were very satisfied with her "performance".
Kristen stood out from the competition among many actresses and got the role.
"Twilight" is not just a movie script, but an adaptation of a novel that is popular all over the world.
In 2005, Stephenie Meyer introduced readers to a world where humans, werewolves, and a very special kind of vampire coexist in "The Twilight Saga."
This fantasy world has attracted countless fans around the world.
Because this novel is popular all over the world, the "Twilight" series of movies has been adapted for the big screen.
Just like "Harry Potter", the novels became popular and were quickly adapted to the big screen.
A-list actresses in Hollywood will naturally look down on this kind of movie script adapted from a novel, but Hollywood is not only composed of first-tier actors, there are also many second-tier, third-tier and eighteenth-tier actors.
Among them, there are many actresses with higher qualifications, greater fame, and better acting skills than Christine who have ideas.
Therefore, even if it is a commercial film script that is looked down upon by first-line actors, the competition is still fierce.
In the end, it was Christine who got the role.
Seeing that Kristen was not very interested, Wang Shu said with relief: "Actually, you are very capable, but you just haven't encountered a good opportunity."
"This time you appear as a heroine in a movie, it may be your chance. . ”
“Perhaps, this time you can become a first-line actress in Hollywood with this movie. ”
Christine has strength in her words. Wang Shu is telling lies.
But what was said later that Christine will become a Hollywood first-line actress is true.
Because as long as Kristen accepts the role of the heroine of "Twilight", she will become a first-line actress in Hollywood after "Twilight" is released.
When Christine heard this, she was happy in her heart, but on the surface she snorted arrogantly: "How can it be so easy? I will be satisfied if I don't get scolded this time."
< br>"You have the ability, you will definitely become a first-line actress, even if it is not this time, it will be next time." Wang Shu continued to comfort, "Maybe, it will be this time."
He is the director , praising an actor's ability is still valuable.
If it were another actor or someone outside the industry who said this, Kristen would just think it was a lie.
Wang Shu was different. She took the director's affirmation seriously.
“Maybe.” Christine opened her mouth proudly.
"Believe me, you will definitely become a first-line actress." Wang Shu said seriously.
Seeing that Wang Shu was so serious, Christine was really flattered. She asked in surprise: "Do you really think so?"
"Can I still lie to you?" Wang Shu He asked noncommittally, and then added, "You are beautiful and powerful. Sooner or later you will become a big star in Hollywood."
"What is missing is just an opportunity that suits you."
Kristen pouted upon hearing this, and then smiled: "Thank you, Shu, you are so kind."
After that, He said with a faint look in his eyes, "I still have to go home, and I can't stay here for too long."
This is a hint.
Then
More than an hour later, Wang Shu was worried that Kristen would go home alone, so he went out to see her off.
After getting off the bus at the destination, Christine took a deep breath and said: "Shu, I hope we can meet again in the future."
This is not to express the desire to be with Wang Shu again. Meeting, but saying that the relationship between the two is just friends, not a deeper ambiguous relationship.
Although we have slept together, we have slept together. It does not mean that we have to be responsible for each other because we have slept together, but that we should separate the relationship between the two of them as friends.
Slept with me, it was just my inner desire.
Feelings are another matter.
This is very American.
"There will be a chance." Wang Shu understood what Christine meant and smiled back.
"Well, bye." Kristen responded with a sweet smile, waved to Wang Shu, and turned to go home.
Wang Shu watched Christine leave, then took a taxi back to the apartment.
The work in Hollywood came to an end, and no other producers asked Wang Shu to cooperate with him. In addition, he was not responsible for the editing of the movie, so there was no need to stay in Hollywood anymore.
Hollywood is a producer-centered system. Not only Wang Shu, many directors do not have the right to edit movies.
For example, when Zack Snyder was filming "Justice League", he did not have the right to edit. The main film was edited by the producer.
Then, after "Justice League" was released, it bombed the market, and then the director's cut version of "Justice League" appeared.
Even well-known directors like Director Zada often do not have the editing rights for movies, let alone an Eastern director like Wang Shu who has just arrived in Hollywood. It is certainly impossible for him to have the editing rights for movies.
Before leaving, Wang Shu treated Gong Li to a meal.
“Are you ready to return to China?” Gong Li looked at Wang Shu and started talking.
Before, the reason why Wang Shu called her to invite her out for dinner was because he planned to return to China.
"The work here is over. There is no need to stay any longer." Wang Shu said.
""Terror Cruise" has done well at the box office in North America. In fact, if you wait a little longer, you should have a chance." Gong Li said.
"Terror Cruise" landed in North American theaters. Combining 2,000 screens and relatively good publicity, the box office on the first day was US$865,000.
This data is actually quite good.
"Terror Cruise" will be released in US theaters on Tuesday, October 30th.
The first-day box office record for a movie that opened in the United States on Tuesday was $2,785 million earned by "Transformers".
Moreover, this box office result was not broken until "The Amazing Spider-Man" opened on Tuesday and created a first-day box office result of 35 million.
For a Chinese-language film to achieve 865W on its first day of filming on Tuesday, it is already quite good.
However, the box office trend has been high and low, and many theaters have canceled the film schedule of "Terror Cruise".
One month after its release, it earned US$31.2 million at the box office.
This box office result is one of the few Chinese-language films that have come to Hollywood to achieve high box office results in the United States.
If it were placed in a Hollywood movie, it would be equivalent to box office figures that hit the street.
After learning this box office data, Wang Shu's mood was not depressed, but rather good.
He initially thought it would only be around 10 million U.S. dollars at most, but he didn’t expect it to exceed 30 million U.S. dollars, which was unexpected.
