Chapter 415 Let’s go then
After dealing with Anna Faris for a while, Wang Shu finally found a chance to leave.
Hollywood actresses are so fierce, Wang Shu really wants to go home.
Here, he is often the one being teased and flirted with by female stars.
Although domestic entertainment can be fun, at least it has some "reservation".
This reserve lies in the fact that except for some actresses who will take the initiative to throw themselves into the arms of the boss, on other occasions they will at least pretend.
The man takes the initiative to hook up, and the actress pretends to be a little reserved like a white lotus, and then engages in sex.
It’s not about hooking up and developing into a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, it’s about having a relationship.
Hollywood is different. Male and female artists are very proactive.
Both men and women are confident enough to strike up a conversation with someone they are interested in.
At this party, not only Anna Faris talked to Wang Shu, but also many female stars talked to Wang Shu, and even some male artists made secret glances.
Wang Shu was exhausted.
He also knows that the main reason why he is so popular is that the parties that Sister Shitou can come into contact with are all parties composed of small artists.
And he is a great director with great achievements. For these young artists, he has a network of connections that can help their careers, so he will naturally be favored.
Among these people, there are only a few big stars such as Anna Faris.
When Anna Faris talked to Wang Shu, no one saw her, but no one bothered her. It was precisely because Anna Faris was a big-name actress among these people.
And she is indeed a relatively big-name actress.
Since becoming famous after starring in "Scream", Anna Faris has always been a popular American actress.
She is just a popular actress, not a powerful actress.
The positioning is similar to Tang Yan, Li Shishi and Yang Mi who became famous in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".
"Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is a fairy tale drama, which can be regarded as a genre drama.
"Scream" is an R-rated movie, which can also be considered a genre film.
Since Tang Yan became famous in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", he has always played silly and sweet roles.
After Anna Faris became famous in "Scream", her acting career has also been fixed in "sexually suggestive" comedy movies.
Although she tried to transform, she failed.
When it comes to popularity, of course it is.
When it comes to strength, it’s hard to say.
But this is also a very American actor.
Strong American actors are in the minority.
Most of them are weak actors like Anna Faris.
For Anna Faris, the most direct and effective way to transform and expand her acting career is to star in art films.
And it must be an art film capable of winning awards.
It’s useless just starring in art films, if you can’t win awards.
Wang Shu is a director who won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival, came to Hollywood and collaborated with Matt Damon on art films.
An actress like Anna Faris who wants to transform and expand her acting career to a higher level will naturally pay attention to and favor a director like Wang Shu who has made achievements in the field of art films.
Anna Faris didn't take the initiative to talk to the 22-year-old Oriental director who came to the party because she was curious about him, but because of Wang Shu's status as the winner of the Venice Best Director Award.
If Wang Shu was a small director with no achievements, with Anna Faris’ status, she wouldn’t have wasted time to take another look at him.
"Didn't you have a great time chatting with Anna? Why did you leave with me?"
The two of them finished the party. Sister Shitou looked at Wang Shu and teased her with a sour tone.
Wang Shu did not answer this question, but without saying anything, he reached out and pulled Sister Shitou to his side, hugged her, and then kissed her.
Sister Shitou also drank a lot of wine. Not only did she not resist Wang Shu's actions, she also forgot about the previous question and responded enthusiastically.
Fortunately, it was dark, there was no one around, and there were no cameras. Even if they were outdoors, no matter how passionate the two of them kissed, they didn’t have to worry about being caught.
After kissing for a long time, their lips parted.
At this moment, under the influence of alcohol, both of them were aroused.
Wang Shu patted Sister Shitou on the head calmly. Sister Shitou immediately understood what it meant and squatted down.
After squatting for a long time, she was tired. Sister Shitou couldn't help but spit out the tender and pitiful voice of Brother Wang, who raised his head and said, "Why don't you go to my place?"
"Okay." Wang Shu touched Sister Shitou. hair, softly agreeing.
When we arrived at Sister Shitou's residence, before she could take a look, Sister Shitou had already fallen into Wang Shu's arms.
Seeing Sister Shitou being so impatient, Wang Shu had no choice but to respond.
Dry firewood burns fiercely.
More than an hour later, Sister Shitou fell into a deep sleep.
I drank a lot of wine and worked hard for more than an hour, so I fell asleep when I was tired.
Wang Shu held Sister Shitou in his arms and soon fell asleep.
While sleeping, he always felt like someone was calling him.
Wang Shu opened his eyes and suddenly found that Sister Shitou was anxiously waking him up.
Seeing Wang Shu wake up, Sister Shitou breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Shu, my boyfriend is coming this morning. You should go back quickly."
I drank a lot of wine last night, between desire and alcohol I forgot about this incident for a while under the double anesthesia. When I woke up this morning, I suddenly thought that my boyfriend would come, and I panicked.
Seeing Sister Shitou being so anxious, Wang Shu didn't know how to stay any longer.
But just as he was getting dressed and ready to go out, the doorbell rang.
Sister Shitou and Wang Shu looked at each other and knew without even thinking that their boyfriend had arrived.
Sister Shitou was just at a loss for a moment, and then she whispered to Wang Shu: "You hide under the bed first and don't make a sound."
Wang Shu also knew that there was no other good way. Not to mention hiding under the bed.
Fortunately, the bed under the bed in the apartment where Sister Shitou lives is empty, otherwise there would be no room to hide.
Seeing that Wang Shu was hiding, Sister Shitou managed her emotions, and then calmly went to open the door.
Wang Shu spent the day under the bed like a year, thinking that if Sister Shitou had gone to the apartment where he lived yesterday instead of coming to the apartment where Sister Shitou lived, this kind of thing would not have happened.
He was thinking, if Sister Shitou's boyfriend catches him and the other party gets angry and wants to hit him, is this resistance?
Still not resisting?
According to the laws in the United States, is resisting in this situation a legitimate defense?
He doesn't know the laws here in the United States. Anyway, in the mainland, it may be self-defense. Whether it is self-defense or fighting each other depends on the value of the identity.
However, as long as you do not resist the beating, you can claim compensation afterwards.
While he was thinking wildly, Sister Shitou came back. She patted the edge of the bed and said quickly: "Come out, it's not my boyfriend, it's the staff here. Come out and go back quickly. My boyfriend should It will be there soon.”
Wang Shu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Sister Shitou’s words.
He was prepared for an ideological struggle. He was prepared to come out from under the bed when Sister Shitou's boyfriend found out. If the other party dared to make a move, he would punch the other party down.
Wang Shu has confidence in his physical fitness and feels that there should be no problem.
Who knows, it was just a false alarm.
As soon as Wang Shu came out from under the bed, he immediately left the apartment at the urging of Sister Shitou.
"Shu, see you later." Sister Shitou winked at Wang Shu and shouted.
"Well, bye." Wang Shu smiled back and left under the watch of Sister Shitou.
After Thanksgiving, in mid-December, Wang Shu received a call from Anna Faris, asking Wang Shu to go out for coffee.
Wang Shu thought it was okay, and since he had just arrived in Hollywood, it would be a bit awkward to refuse a popular American actor, so he immediately agreed.
The two sat across from each other in the coffee shop. They did not drink this time. Anna Faris maintained a dignified posture instead of being wild.
"Shu, after the nominations for the Golden Globe Awards were announced, "Return to Youth" and "The Tuner" were the most popular. It seems that you have a high probability of winning the award this time?" Anna Faris He took a sip of coffee and said with a smile.
The Golden Globe Awards is an American film and television award, held in the form of a formal dinner, hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
Held annually since 1944, the final result is determined by a vote of 96 journalists (about two-thirds of whom are part-time).
Prior to 2003, the Golden Globe Awards banquet was held a few days before the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voted for the Oscars.
After 2003, the Golden Globe Awards have been held in mid-January each year to distinguish them from the Academy Awards held in late February.
The 2008 awards ceremony was suspended due to the impact of the Writers Guild of America strike.
In the United States, this award is second only to the Academy Awards in the film category.
Wang Shuxin asked why Anna Faris suddenly asked him out for coffee. It turned out that the nominated films for the Golden Globe Awards had been announced.
Under normal circumstances, the application deadline for the Golden Globe Awards is at the end of November, and the nominations for the shortlisted films are announced in early December.
Not waiting for Wang Shu to answer, Anna Faris then said: "But regardless of whether they can win the award, "The Tuner" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" can be nominated, which shows that "Shu, you are very powerful."
After saying that, he gave Wang Shu a thumbs up.
As a film made in response to the financial crisis, in the current atmosphere in the United States, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is the film with the highest reputation for winning awards.
There is no movement now, for the same reason as "Slumdog Millionaire", the film has not been released yet.
Very few people have seen the film, so there is no chance of public support.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" has been scheduled to be released on the same schedule as "Slumdog Millionaire" on January 9, 2009.
However, "Slumdog Millionaire" premiered in the UK, and "The Wolf of Wall Street" premiered in the United States.
In the original timeline, after the nominations were announced for the 66th Golden Globe Awards in 2009, the film with the highest reputation for winning the award was "Rejuvenation" directed by David Fincher.
However, on the day the award ceremony was held, it was an upset loss to "Slumdog Millionaire".
"Slumdog Millionaire" premiered on January 9, and the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held on January 11, just two days apart.
Now "The Wolf of Wall Street" will also premiere on Friday, January 9th, which is also two days apart from the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
Moreover, "Slumdog Millionaire" not only unexpectedly won the Golden Globe Awards for Best Picture - Drama, Best Director, Best Soundtrack, and Best Screenplay, it also won the It won 6 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director.
In the original timeline, this film boasted loudly after winning the award, but in fact it was a "magic" romance film in which the West looked at India from a "curious" perspective.
It can also be called the "fairy tale" romance film created by India from the West's "novelty" perspective.
As a result, many call it the weakest Oscar-winning film in recent years.
Wang Shu heard this and said with a smile: "Compared with "The Tuner", I think "The Wolf of Wall Street" has a better chance of winning the award."
"Slumdog Millions" Billionaire" is known as the weakest Oscar-winning film in recent years. "The Wolf of Wall Street" is a realistic biographical film that responds to the American financial crisis.
Under normal circumstances, there is no reason why you can't do "Slumdog Millionaire".
Therefore, Wang Shu has a certain degree of confidence in both the 2009 Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards.
Before the financial crisis broke out in the United States, he was quite hypocritical about winning the award.
Because he is a Chinese-language film director who has just arrived in Hollywood, no matter how good the film is, it will inevitably be suppressed and he will not be able to win the award as soon as it is his turn.
Now, with the growing impact of the financial crisis, he has begun to gain confidence.
It is undeniable that under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for him to win the award.
But with the global financial crisis, everything is uncertain.
"Ah? "The Wolf of Wall Street"?" Anna Faris was confused when she heard this.
She has not seen this movie and does not understand the content of "The Wolf of Wall Street", so she does not know why Wang Shu is more confident in this movie.
"The Tuner" has gone through twists and turns again and again, winning recognition and appreciation from many people. It stands to reason that Wang Shu should have confidence in this more popular film.
Why "The Wolf of Wall Street"?
Is it some kind of black technology?
Wang Shu smiled and said: "I don't know how to tell you now. Anyway, "The Wolf of Wall Street" will be released next month. I will give you some movie tickets then. Just go to the cinema and see."
When Anna Faris saw what Wang Shu said, it was hard to continue asking, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to the cinema then."
After saying that, she looked at him with charming eyes. Wang Shu blinked and said with a smile, "Don't forget the movie tickets."
When Wang Shu saw this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, he was almost getting engaged to Star-Lord. , are you ogling other men now?
I just finished complaining in my heart, and then I reflected that I was wrong.
This is America, or America's entertainment industry.
This is a very common thing, nothing to be surprised about.
"Haha." Wang Shu smiled heartily and said, "No, I promise."
When Anna Faris heard what Wang Shu said, she smiled with satisfaction, and then asked He said: "Shu, you have been in Los Angeles for several months. Where do you live now?"
Wang Shu heard this and did not hide anything. He told the other party the apartment where he lived.
Anna Faris blinked and smiled when she heard this: "It's quite close to here. Anyway, there's nothing to do now. Why don't you take me over and have a look?"
Wang Shu had no reason to refuse, so he stood up and said : "Okay, let's go."
Anna Faris saw Wang Shu's movements and stood up to follow his footsteps.
