Director’s Legend

"Hollywood welcomes you, Shao!"

Brown Veitch held the wine glass and gestured to Shao Shuaijun. This is the villa area of ​​the rich in Los Angeles. It is built on the hillside and overlooks the glorious panorama of Hollywood. Brown is the president of Miramax Films. After taking over the mess of Mira Company from Harry, "Painted Skin" was his first film to try.

"Painted Skin" did not live up to expectations, with a dark horse posture, 30.28 million US dollars, won the weekend box office championship. It has been in theaters for more than a week, and the total box office is 41.05 million US dollars. Excluding theater sharing and promotional expenses, it can already ensure a small profit, and the box office will be net profit in the future.

Brown, in a good mood, immediately hosted a banquet for Shao Shuaijun and others in his villa. Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Xie Tingfeng, Zhenzidan, Sun Li and others all freed themselves from domestic propaganda and came to the United States to enjoy this glorious moment. In the original plan, it was never expected that "Painted Skin" would be so successful in the United States, so it still focuses on Asian propaganda, and several leading actors fly around Asia.

But "Painted Skin" rose against the trend in the United States, and investors suddenly saw a golden mountain.

Asia's desperate life is not as good as making a fortune in the United States.

After a brief discussion, the investors temporarily decided to let the protagonists come to the United States to promote. This is the villa dinner tonight.

Shao Shuaijun shook the red wine in the goblet, which is said to be produced in the Château Lusaluz in Sauternes, France, Brown’s private collection. According to his boast, this Chinese red wine is the world's top class, and only a small glass can be made from grapes on a vine, and some grapes are even substandard in some vintages. You can't make a bottle of wine.

No matter how strong Brown brags, Shao Shuaijun thinks that it should be served with Sprite to taste: "It doesn't matter if Hollywood welcomes me or not, it is enough for American audiences to welcome me."

"Haha, that's right, as long as you are willing to pay, Hollywood or Bollywood are all good movies. For dollars, cheers!"

"Cheers." Shao Shuaijun took a sip of red wine, a bit bitter. I can't find any good things about this thing. However, what you drink is not wine, but taste, "Grape wine luminous cup. If you want to drink Pipa, immediately remind you. Drunk lying on the battlefield, Lord laughs. Several people have fought back in ancient times. Good wine. Good poetry!"

"What?" Brown asked curiously.

"A poem written by an ancient Chinese, saying that the lives of soldiers on the expedition are over at some point, so why not have fun in time." Shao Shuaijun smiled.

"Haha. Yes, it should be time to have fun. Seeing that, our Hollywood blondes are already calling you with their eyes, and I will not hinder you young people." Brown smiled and patted Shao Shuaijun on the shoulder and turned away. , The meaning is self-evident.

Before Brown left, there was a tall blond woman with a glass of champagne walking over on catwalks. Before he got close, a tangy perfume came over. The beauty held up champagne: "Hi, great director from China, hello. My name is Christina."

"Hello." Shao Shuaijun turned his nose quietly. Such a strong perfume smell is either a taste problem or just to cover up the peculiar smell on his body. In either case, Shao Shuaijun is not interested.

"I have seen "Painted Skin", a very good movie. After watching it, I was moved to a mess. The director who can make such a great movie must be a romantic and passionate director. See the director himself , I have to say that my idea is correct. You are very handsome, cool, young and full of masculinity. This is the charm of the Oriental."

The blonde beauty chuckled in praise, and then gently leaned against Shao Shuaijun, with a provocative expression in her eyes: "Don't you want to know my phone number? You can ask me out for coffee alone."

Uh, is this a chat, or do you want to be unspoken?

Shao Shuaijun was speechless.

He wanted to say that although you look very spicy from a distance, you are too tall, your skin is too rough, the makeup is too strong, and the perfume smell is too pungent. Apart from being open enough to make him appreciate the surprise, all others are respectful.

"Sorry, I am afraid I don't have time to ask you out."

The blonde beauty did not entangle, and nodded and left. After the blonde beauty, a few more hot beauties came over to talk. It's a pity that Shao Shuaijun doesn't have much interest in Europeans and Americans. He always feels that Europeans and Americans have too rough skin and too large pores, not as delicate as Eastern skin.

Several times back and forth, Shao Shuaijun was like a comrade, not interested in female **** at all. The blonde beauties who bumped into the wall naturally ignored his existence and looked for their prey. Shao Shuaijun was left alone holding red wine that was hard to swallow, and he looked at the men and women under the light with interest.

Zhao Wei and Zhouxun obviously became the focus of the audience. The popularity of "Painted Skin" made her two Chinese stars familiar to Americans after Zhang Ziyi in the mainland, countless Hollywood handsome boys and old handsome guys, like Sticky like a fly. Zhenzi Dan and Xie Tingfeng were very relaxed, chatting with a few blonde beauties and laughing.

After a while, Chen Kun and Sun Li joined Shao Shuaijun's camp. The three of them sat on the sofa, talking boringly. Shao Shuaijun felt boring, Chen Kun was a little depressed, Sun Li was not taken seriously, and the three seemed to be isolated from the social circle.

"Boss, when are you filming "Twilight"? I have bought the novel, and I have read it several times. It's so beautiful." Sun Li asked for words without words.

"It should be fast. People are ready to go. "Twilight" is very simple, and it's very fast.

Shao Shuaijun said boringly, somehow, "Painted Skin" was successful, and he suddenly had no interest in shooting "Twilight". Indeed, "Twilight" has the foreshadowing of novels and examples of future success. As long as he uses a little bit of light, these movies will become popular all over the world.

But what about "Twilight"?

What's the point besides the box office?

Speaking of the box office, he couldn't get the box office by looking for someone to shoot, so why waste his time.

For fame?

He really didn't think that among the directors who filmed "Twilight" in the previous life, who became popular because of this, or won an award or something. Such a dull popcorn movie, if he is still a completely newcomer, he might be praised by the movie's box office.

But now he has hit Hollywood three times, and he has got his wish to win the championship of the week. There are no two people in the mainland except Zhang Yimou! Moreover, one week of "Painted Skin" is almost equivalent to one month of "Hero" at the box office, and his commercial achievements in the United States will far surpass Zhang Yimou.

"Perhaps, when "Painted Skin" ends, I have to reorient my direction... Before that, let me listen to my cheers again!"

Bring a glass of juice and pour it into his own red wine.

Gudong.

Drink it all and it tastes great.

This is the taste that red wine should have! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
