Chapter 646: Refusal to perform
A night of absurdity ended with everyone leaving.
Early the next morning, Scarlett and Olsen took a car back to the crew's hotel after washing.
“I think it is necessary to stay away from you in the future, Scarlett, you are just a crazy woman.
Oh my God, I don’t even know what kind of devil I am, how could I do this? Accompany you to do this kind of thing"
O Mei, who was wearing a light yellow plaid shirt and jeans, complained.
The Scarlett next to her is still wearing the same golden dress as last night, but the dress is a little wrinkled, but she looks radiant, with charming electric eyes, sexy red lips, and a somewhat lazy demeanor. They all made her look extremely alluring.
"My dear Elizabeth, don't say that. You took the initiative to participate last night. Neither I nor Gu forced you."
She raised her hand and gently hugged O Mei's shoulder and looked at her with a smile.
“And later on, you were so enthusiastic and crazy. This was the first time I saw this side of you.”
"I, I, I drank too much." Olson couldn't refute what she said, so he had to put the blame on the wine.
“No matter what the reason was, we had a very wonderful night.
This is also our common little secret. I believe our friendship will be stronger in the future.”
< br>Olson did not answer, Scarlett chuckled and continued.
“Gu is a very good man, handsome, in good shape, funny, young and wealthy
If he had been an American, we might have been love rivals.
But he is Chinese, and his family and career are in the East across the ocean.
This means that both you and I can only maintain a friend relationship with him.
Everyone is very busy at work. Don’t you think it is a wonderful thing to occasionally take time out to get together and enjoy the rare happiness in life?
Don’t pay too much attention to some restrictive things, let yourself go and enjoy life. Life is short, and enjoying yourself in time is the most important.”
Olsen turned his head slightly to look at Scarlett, who was smiling, and pursed his lips without saying anything.
Scarlett knew that the other party had listened to some of what she said, and smiled and patted her on the shoulder.
She is only 5 years older than Olson, but she became famous at a young age. She has experienced much more than him in work and love life. She has a clearer view of many things and cares about people and things. There are also fewer and fewer.
For Scarlett now, life is like a romantic adventure journey. The journey is full of beautiful scenery, and reaching the end is far less important than enjoying the process.
Back in the hotel room, Omei took a short rest.
Compared with other Hollywood stars, Olsen has a much better family background, with a real estate developer father and two billionaire sisters.
Having a pampered life since childhood and a higher starting point after entering the entertainment industry, she can get some good opportunities without paying too much.
In contrast, she is more conservative than other celebrities in the relationship between men and women.
This kind of thing last night was completely the first time for Omei. She never thought that she would participate in such a large-scale event before.
After changing her clothes, she stood in front of the bathroom mirror and looked at herself in it. The exciting scene from last night flashed through her mind from time to time, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
She did not reject Gu Wei at all, with whom she had had a close relationship, and she still admired him deep in her heart.
Scarlett agrees very much with one sentence. Gu Wei is indeed a very charming man. If he is a lover, he has the best conditions in all aspects.
The short time between the two of them is definitely a wonderful time worth remembering.
It’s just that even if the lover shared it with others, she was not prepared before coming.
But after all, it has happened, and there is nothing to complain about. Besides, in retrospect, the experience was quite good.
The intensity did not decrease after there was one more person, but the level of stimulation seemed to be more.
At noon, the main creators of [Avengers] boarded the departing plane.
In the first class cabin, Donnie, who was already seated, looked at the widowed sister across the aisle.
"Scarlett, I feel like you look particularly good today, you feel radiant"
"Oh? Really?
Maybe it’s because I haven’t had much rest since I’ve been running around a lot, and I slept well last night.” Scarlett replied with a smile.
After returning to the hotel, she put on makeup and changed into a black and white checkered shirt. She really looks more energetic in a long skirt.
“I envy you. I’ve been flying around a lot recently and I didn’t sleep well in the hotel. I can only go back and recuperate.”< br>
"Maybe because you have been traveling around the world lately, your biological clock is a little out of whack. Just wait until you return to the United States after this period of work," Scarlett suggested with a smile
"Maybe. Fortunately, our global promotion trip is almost over, so I can still hold on." Downey shrugged, took the blanket from the stewardess, and prepared to take a nap after takeoff.
< br>
Olsen, who was sitting next to Scarlett, covered his face with big sunglasses and curled his lips while listening to the two chatting.
The radiance is true, and it is indeed because of a good "sleep".
For Gu Wei, this night was also an extremely new experience.
Although he is a bit of a scumbag and has had relationships with many female celebrities, Gu Wei is really relatively clean among male celebrities of his age in the entertainment industry.
As far as he knows, there are some celebrities who are glamorous on the surface, but have extremely colorful activities in private. They have all kinds of fans, peripherals, Internet celebrities, single people, and multiple people. Only ordinary people can't think of it, and they can't do it without them.
No one is a good person, there is no worst, only worse.
If you compare Gu Wei's seemingly scumbag attributes, he is actually pretty good.
This time Scarlett and Omei came. Although he was prepared, in the end it still depended on the atmosphere at the time and everyone's wishes.
It can only be said that foreigners are relatively open-minded, allowing Gu Wei to unlock another double kill achievement.
The filming of [Si Teng] is getting into the later stages. The scenes in Yunnan are almost the same. The crew moved to Hengdian, Wuxi and other places to shoot some final scenes.
On May 11, the long-awaited Marvel blockbuster [Avengers: Infinity War] was finally released in China.
As can be seen from various social media, there was a huge crowd of people watching the movie at midnight on May 11. Even though it was still a Friday working day, it did not seem to affect everyone's enthusiasm for watching the movie.
On the first day of its release, [Avengers 3] started a crazy harvesting mode in China. It received a box office of 443 million that day, accounting for 96.5% of the total national box office that day.
The next two days also maintained a strong momentum, with box office receipts of 490 million and 330 million respectively.
The box office exceeded 1.2 billion yuan in the first three days of the first week. This figure has broken the 1 billion box office record of "Nezha" in the first three days at the beginning of the year.
After ten years of cultivation, the Marvel superhero series has formed a considerable fan base in China, which eventually fed back to the box office, giving birth to the explosive success of "Avengers 3" Start.
In addition to the rapid growth in the box office, [Avengers 3], as a work that was launched ten years after the "Marvel Universe" was established, has almost won unanimous praise from ordinary Chinese and foreign audiences in terms of reputation. It is rated on IMDb It reached 8.9 points, and the Douban score also reached 8.5 points.
However, the domestic film market is no longer the era where 1 billion to 2 billion could dominate the market. Not to mention the eye-catching 6 billion box office of "Wolf Warrior 2", even if "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" 】The box office of nearly 5 billion is not that easy to break.
And for Chinese audiences, superhero movies have never been a box office hit. Although young people like them very much, their box office appeal is now difficult to surpass that of some main theme movies. The number of moviegoers is one Big question.
Looking at the real first films in the domestic film market in recent years, they are all films that can mobilize family audiences to enter theaters to watch.
It is difficult for foreign blockbusters to do this, and older audiences rarely go to see them.
On the 4th day of the release of [Avengers 3], the box office dropped from more than 300 million to 80 million as expected. The trend is more in line with the box office rules of Hollywood blockbusters in recent years. The first week effect was particularly good, but The long term cannot be maintained.
Hengdian. [Si Teng] was not as busy in the later stage of filming. At Da Tiantian’s request, Gu Wei took her out to watch the recently popular [Avengers 3].
“The superheroes actually lost. Isn’t this so inconsistent with the logic of normal superhero movies?”
"Don't worry, there's still [Avengers 4], isn't it? The story isn't over yet, and there will naturally be opportunities for the heroes to counterattack later."
Gu Wei put his arm around Jingtian's thin waist and smiled. Explain.
“What is said online is correct. This movie is more appropriately called [The Legend of Thanos]. The final BOSS is too powerful. A set of military fists can defeat the Hulk, and everyone can fight at the same time. You can’t beat him.”
Da Tiantian looks at the movie, plot and characters completely from the perspective of an ordinary audience.
“In fact, judging from the setting of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Scarlet Witch, Thor, and Ms. Marvel, who did not appear in this film, all have the ability to kill Thanos alone.
But in Marvel movies, you can't talk about logic. The screenwriter is the biggest, and whatever he says is what it is.
This movie will make Thanos arrogant for a while, and then he will be defeated when the fourth movie is released."
"Really? "Jingtian looked suspicious.
Unlike Gu Wei, she didn't know anything about the unreleased fourth part.
"Of course, justice defeats evil, which is an eternal truth. , the same is true in the movie."
Da Tiantian curled up in Gu Wei's arms and gently rubbed his arm.
“Actually, when I first started making movies, I thought that it would be great if one day I could play that kind of heroine role.”
“Like in [The Great Wall]?”
"Disgusting~" Jing Tian gently patted Gu Wei's chest.
“Like Natasha and Wanda, beautiful, capable, and stunningly handsome!
It's a pity that Hollywood superhero movies will not cast yellow people"
"I remember that Fan Bingbing seemed to have made a guest appearance as a mutant in [X-Men]"
" Hers was just for fun, with only a few scenes." Jingtian curled his lips and said disdainfully.
Gu Wei lowered his head and thought for a while.
"Actually, I have someone who plays a superhero. The opportunity is not to be a soy sauce and guest star, but to be a serious movie hero."
When Jingtian heard what Gu Wei said, he raised his head and looked at him curiously.
“Marvel has contacted me before and wants to invite me to star in their new movie [Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings].”
“Really?
Wow, Gu Wei, I didn’t expect you to become a superhero. Will you join the Avengers in the future?”
Da Tiantian was pleasantly surprised by the news that Gu Wei said.
"It's too early to be happy. I just said that Marvel asked me to act, but I didn't say that I would take this film."
"Are you crazy? You can refuse such a good role. "Powerful?"
Jingtian sat up excitedly. She had been in Hollywood and knew clearly the weight of Marvel movies in Hollywood now.
This is the leading role in a superhero movie, a good opportunity that no A-list Hollywood star would refuse. It is very likely that he will become an international superstar in just one film.
And as a member of the Marvel superheroes, he will also appear in team movies like "Avengers" in the future. It can be said that as long as he appears, his future will be bright.
"Have you read the comics about [Shang-Chi]?" Gu Wei asked rhetorically without explaining directly.
"I have only heard of this hero's name, but have not read the specific comics."
Gu Wei smiled and stretched out his hand to hug Da Tiantian into his arms again.
"In Marvel's comics about Shang-Chi, there is a villain called "The Mandarin", who is the father of the superhero "Shang-Chi".
The image of the "Mandarin" It comes from "Fu Manchu", an image designed by Westerners to insult China.
In the earliest comics, Shang-Chi killed his villain father and finally fell into the arms of his so-called righteous Western father.
So [Shang-Chi], the so-called Chinese superhero, is fundamentally evil. It can be said that he is a superhero of Eastern origin designed to please Westerners
This How could I take on such a character's role? "
"Then the domestic film market is so big now, and Hollywood is also coveting it. Marvel should also modify the story and characters for the sake of domestic box office." Jingtian also understood what Gu Wei was worried about, but She was still very reluctant to give up such a precious opportunity.
Gu Wei stroked the sweet girl's hair and said with a smile.
"I have read the script, and it has indeed been changed a lot. From the surface plot, nothing can be seen anymore.
But as I just said, this superhero is fundamentally flawed. I don't agree with it anyway. I will act.
Although it is tempting to become an international superstar, I know better that my foundation is still domestic, and I cannot take risks for a movie."
"Maybe you have this idea. That's right, I'm just a little pity."
Da Tiantian gently leaned on Gu Wei's chest. What Gu Wei said had a big impact on her.
In her opinion, there was probably no actor in China who could refuse this opportunity, but Gu Wei refused.
Gu Wei smiled and said nothing more.
In fact, he understands this matter very well.
[Shang-Chi]’s position in Marvel is somewhat similar to the previous popular [Black Panther].
However, domestic audiences are not as easy to fool as Lao Hei.
When [Black Panther] was released, the film was very popular in Western society because of its political correctness.
Especially for the black group, this movie satisfies all their fantasies. Wakanda has countless wealth and high technology that exceeds modern society, and it has its own superheroes. These are all for them. Things that are out of reach in ordinary life.
Now I get spiritual satisfaction from the movie.
However, in the eyes of domestic audiences, [Black Panther] does not look like praising black people, but more like mocking them.
A country with super wealth and cosmic black technology is actually a feudal country. To choose the king, you have to rely on brutal melee fighting like the Colosseum, and also rely on feudal superstition to "select", but there is actually a royal family on one side. There are high-rise buildings on one side and slums with flying dirt on the other.
The entire story reeks of "Western-centrism" and colonialism. The Black Panther's father, uncle, himself, and brothers all yearn for the United States and all want to be friends with white civilization.
There is only one "nationalist" in the country of Wakanda, his villain brother. He is the only one who remembers that black people were put on slave ships and transported to North America with a narrow escape.
However, this only wise man is a narrow-minded, extreme, and hateful villain, the "Fu Manchu" of Africa.
When [Black Panther] was released, black people and African people all over the world went to cinemas to watch the movie. They burst into tears and even shouted "Long Live Wakanda" at the end. The level of brainwashing by American imperialism is truly at its peak.
However, these are completely inconvenient for domestic audiences. After all, we do not aspire to the so-called "Western liberal civilization" and treat the Chinese people by fooling black people. Chinese people no longer accept the Hollywood method. Consciousness is output.
