Chapter 412 Should I go to your place or mine?

Chapter 412 Should I go to your place or mine?

Taylor Swift searched for Wang Shu's songs on her own to no avail, and then asked her manager for help. After a lot of effort, she finally found Wang Shu's single.

"That Man", "Love Your Destiny" and other songs.

After listening to it one by one, she didn’t find anything particularly amazing.

“The creation is not bad, it turns out he really knows how to do it!”

Although it's not amazing, it doesn't feel bad either, just average.

But if you add that Wang Shu is a great director who won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival, the ordinary song seems not so ordinary.

For singers who focus on the music industry, this level of song creation is ordinary.

However, Wang Shu is a director, not a singer.

As a great director who has achieved good results in the film field, he can still create such a pretty good song.

All I can say is that it is really awesome.

Actually, it is normal for Swift to think these songs are ordinary.

Not to mention that she is a European and American singer, so she does not understand the meaning of Chinese songs.

Songs such as "That Man" and "Love Your Destiny" are all war songs in idol dramas.

These songs all have a characteristic that they need to be combined with the corresponding idol drama to resonate.

Listening to it alone, it is indeed ordinary.

Taylor Swift has never watched the idol dramas written, directed and acted by Wang Shu, so she cannot relate to them, and therefore it is impossible to think how excellent these songs are.

“I won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival at the age of 22, and now I have a chance to win an Academy Award, and I can also write songs.”

“It’s really something. Ah!”

Taylor Swift couldn’t help but exclaim.

Since her debut, she has been praised as a talented girl because she is a singer-songwriter.

There are differences between geniuses.

Compared to Wang Shu, she only felt that her so-called genius was not worth mentioning.

However, the fact is that she is a real genius. Wang Shu just has the advantage of being reborn and is not a genius.

On the other side, Matt Damon’s team watched Wang Shu’s director’s cut of “The Wolf of Wall Street” and fell into deep thought.

"Matt, the finished film edited by Wang Shu is very good, do we want to continue?" the staff around Matt Damon asked.

Since the completion of "The Wolf of Wall Street", he has been following up on the subsequent editing work.

Although it was still one or two achievements away from being able to make the film, after seeing Wang Shu’s director’s cut, he couldn’t help but feel that even if they made the film, it would probably not be as good as Wang Shu’s director’s cut. .

Matt Damon was silent. He thought that Wang Shu's finished film in such a short time was just a work of coping, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

He had a feeling that even if he edited the film, the smoothness would not be as smooth as Wang Shu's director's cut.

When the staff saw that Matt was silent, they immediately added: "Wang Shu is the screenwriter and director of this movie. He should know the context of the movie, so he can edit it into the film in a short time."

“Our people here need to make comparisons bit by bit before we can slowly edit the film.”

“Although the director’s cut of the film is edited according to the director’s ideas, usually The whole movie will become strange because of the director's thoughts."

"But Wang Shu is a director who came to Hollywood from China."

"I think you should know it by now. China’s film industry is director-centric, and most of its films are director’s cuts.”

"For example, Wang Shu, except for "The Tuner," which he first shot in Hollywood, was not the director's cut, all other films were edited by him himself."

"Since Wang Shu's debut, His editing skills are not bad.”

After hearing this, Matt Damon couldn’t help complaining: “Of course I knew his editing skills were not bad, but I didn’t expect him to be a newbie in Hollywood. The Chinese director was able to edit "The Wolf of Wall Street" into a film in such a short time without understanding American culture. "

"And the effect of the film is very good. "

“It’s so unexpected.”

The staff member smiled and answered: "If Wang Shu didn't have something, he wouldn't have been able to win the Best Actress Award at Cannes at the age of 20, and the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival at the age of 21."< br>
“When I was 21 years old, I came to Hollywood and filmed a movie called "The Tuner". At the age of 22, I became the director of the global box office club with a single film of 500 million US dollars."

"Today's "The Wolf of Wall Street" "It is also during the financial crisis, and he is likely to win an award at the Academy Awards."

"These all show that Wang Shu has the ability."

"Since he has the ability. , plus "The Wolf of Wall Street" was originally written and directed by him. It is not impossible to edit the movie into a short time and achieve good results. "

Matt Damon nodded and said: "In a few days, we should be able to complete the work of editing "The Wolf of Wall Street" into a film. Then we will take a look at it."

"If Wang Shu If the edited version is better, then use his edited version.”

Although the staff was already sure that Wang Shu’s edited version would win, they still nodded noncommittally.

After all, there are still a few days to complete the film, and Matt Damon seems unwilling to give up, so there is no need to say more.

He also knows that if "The Wolf of Wall Street" is the director's cut, then Wang Shu will be in the movie basically from beginning to end.

In this way, even if "The Wolf of Wall Street" wins the Academy Award for Best Picture, Matt Damon as a producer will always feel that it is a little bit less interesting.

If "The Wolf of Wall Street" was the version edited by them, there would be no such sentiment.

A few days later, Matt Damon’s cut was released.

After comparison, he silently chose the edited version edited by Wang Shu

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to use his edited version, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wang Shu’s edited version was better. good.

Matt Damon was not convinced and decided to use Wang Shu's director's cut as the feature film.

At this time, the feature film has been confirmed, and "The Wolf of Wall Street" has also been registered for the Academy Awards. All that is left is operation.

Not only for himself to win awards, but also for Wang Shu.

Because of this, Wang Shu had already made an agreement with Matt Damon before filming "The Wolf of Wall Street".

Wang Shu had no connections in Hollywood, so even if he wanted to operate, he couldn't find a good way.

Matt Damon only produced and starred in this movie to win awards, so he will naturally work hard.

Wang Shu then borrowed his connections and worked together.

Compared with Matt Damon's campaign for the Academy Award for Best Actor and Best Picture, Wang Shu's only goal is the Academy Award for Best Director.

As for the small awards such as Best Screenplay, they are dispensable for him who has already won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival.

There is no need to work hard for this small prize.

In the blink of an eye, in mid-November, "The Twilight Saga" would premiere in North America. Christine gave Wang Shu some movie tickets and told him that he could go and watch it if he had time.

As for Christine, the movie was premiering, so she had a lot of activities and a tight schedule, so she couldn't go to the cinema with Wang Shu. Wang Shu looked at the movie tickets in his hand and called Sister Shitou: "Emma, ​​Kristen gave me some tickets for "The Twilight Saga". Do you want to go see a movie together?"

Emma Stone also knew that Kristen and Wang Shu had collaborated in the movie "The Tuner", and then asked: "She gave you the movie tickets, why don't you follow her?" Do you want to go together? "

When Wang Shu said these words, Sister Shitou subconsciously thought that Christine wanted to date Wang Shu, and she was "sensible" and didn't want to be a light bulb.

Wang Shu said with a smile: "She is very busy during this time, so she just gave me a few movie tickets."

"That's it." Sister Shitou suddenly realized, and then said excitedly, "Since I have movie tickets, don't watch it." Don't look at it."

"Haha." Wang Shu laughed twice, and then made an appointment to meet.

“Shu.” Seeing Wang Shu coming from a distance, Emma Stone waved to him.

"Emma." Wang Shu saw Sister Shitou waving and walked over quickly.

"Let's go into the cinema quickly." Emma Stone grabbed Wang Shu's arm and walked inside.

Wang Shu was noncommittal and silently followed Emma Stone's footsteps.

Sister Shitou and Wang Shu first bought some popcorn and drinks, and then walked into the cinema.

The movie "Twilight" mainly tells about a handsome young man named Edward who lives in a place called Forks in the United States.

This guy's appearance is mysterious and aloof from the world. His family is also low-key and mysterious. The reason is that he is a vampire that will never age, let alone die.

Edward was born in the first year of the 20th century. Since he grew up to a handsome boy of seventeen in 1918, he has never aged again and has always maintained his youthful and handsome appearance.

Time flies, nearly a hundred years later, he no longer relies on sucking human blood for a living, because Edward and his family members who are also vampires adhere to vegetarianism and only suck the blood of animals.

The seventeen-year-old girl heroine Isabella has been dependent on her mother since she was a child. Because her parents' relationship broke down, her mother took her to another city.

But when she grew up, her mother decided to remarry. Since her stepfather was a baseball player and needed to travel back and forth, Isabella returned to her father Charlie in Forks.

In school, she met the boy Edward. She was quickly attracted by Edward's charm and gradually fell in love with him.

However, although Edward also liked Isabella, he knew very well that there was no way for a vampire to live normally with humans.

But he couldn't forget Isabella, and he couldn't bear to fly away and cut off any communication with Isabella.

At this time, another group of vampires who sucked human blood came here and inadvertently targeted Isabella. Edward protected Isabella, and their relationship developed steadily.

In short, it’s a bloody youth idol film dressed in vampire skin.

However, young people in this era are just trying to be stupid.

Especially the bloody plot between vampires and humans, it is very popular among young people.

Just like Korean idol dramas, everything is popular in this era, and the Korean Wave is sweeping all over.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that "Twilight" earned a box office of US$393 million worldwide.

The production cost was 37 million W, and the global box office was US$393 million, which is a tenfold increase.

Then a series of 5 movies were launched in one go, earning a total box office revenue of US$3.3 billion worldwide.

So much money.

Except for the first part of this IP series, which had a pretty good reputation, the subsequent scripts all received rave reviews.

But even so, it still achieved a good total box office.

The truth is still the same as bloody Korean dramas.

Many people will complain about stupid Korean dramas when watching them, but many people will complain about them while watching them.

In short, it's the top.

The same is true for "Twilight" as a fighter in a bloody movie.

Many people complain about this IP series as being bloody, watery, and rotten, but that doesn’t stop them from complaining and contributing to the box office.

Wang Shu looked at Christine on the screen. If the other party hadn't given him a movie ticket and he had nothing to do, he really wouldn't have come to the cinema.

However, I have to admit that 17-year-old Christine is really beautiful.

He also heard that Kristen was only 17 years old when the film was made, and was considered a minor.

The director of "The Twilight Saga" Catherine Hardaway asked the leading actor Robert to swear on the Bible to concentrate on playing the role well on the set and not to have other inappropriate thoughts.

In Hollywood, it is easy for male and female actors to create sparks when they work together in the same movie.

One-night stands and so on abound.

Therefore, Catherine Hardaway needs to prevent this from happening.

Because Kristen is underage, if something happens to the male lead Robert, it is likely to cause the crew to get into trouble.

Of course, Catherine Hardaway just asked that nothing happen during filming.

After that, no matter.

For example, when Wang Shu and Kristen had sex, she was still underage.

But. This is in private, not during work.

In addition, the age gap between Wang Shu and Kristine is within a safe range, so as long as Kristine does not go to the police afterwards, there will generally be no problem.

Although Christine had sex with Wang Shu when she was 17, this was not her first time.

Not only was this not the first time, she also had a boyfriend.

Soon, the movie ended and the two walked out of the cinema.

Sister Shitou turned around and asked, "How was the movie?"

"It's okay." Wang Shu responded.

Under normal circumstances, when he evaluates other directors' films, except for some that are really eye-catching, he will say that they are okay.

Sister Shitou was not satisfied with this smooth answer and immediately rolled her eyes at him.

Wang Shu smiled and changed the subject: "It's still early, do you want something to drink?"

Sister Shitou pondered for a moment, then looked at Wang Shu and said with a smile: "Go. Where do you go or go to my place?”

Wang Shu was stunned when he heard this. He asked Sister Shitou if she wanted to drink something. He really simply asked her if she wanted to drink something before going home.

But Sister Shitou’s answer implies other meanings.

Wang Shu quickly came to his senses and said with a smile: "The apartment I live in is closer to here, go to my place."

"Okay." Sister Shitou listened. Agree with a smile.

The two returned to the apartment and did have a drink for a while.

However, after finishing the drink, only dry wood and fire were left.
