The day when the idol is disqualified, when the superstar rises

"That old man is so boring."

Wang Chuan sighed.

"what happened?"

Lin Tong asked.

"He chatted with me about a lot of classic musicals, and also discussed for a long time how to make the film "La La Land". Body, at least two years can not be filmed. I did not find any news reports that he got sick last year, he might as well just make it clear that he does not want to be filmed."

Wang Chuan was really convinced.

"It's normal for him to have concerns," Lin Tong smiled. "This matter is not easy. Many film critics in Hollywood are seven or eighty years old and only have deep-rooted discrimination and prejudice. It doesn’t make sense to review the elements first and then evaluate the quality. Even if our film is made perfectly, we will face overwhelming criticism. Ke Xizhe also has to worry about whether he will be late.”

"Then maybe the more criticism you face, the more you want to make a movie to slap your face?"

Wang Chuan joked.

"Of course, it is meaningful to do things that are challenging." Lin Tong smiled and thought in his mind, "Actually, according to what you said, Ke Xizhe should be very tempted, compared to the time I talked to him More willingness. When he said that, he was actually asking us to get the other work done first, to make this project a Hollywood one, and he was just playing it safe and not pushing it.”

"That's why you want Catherine to play the heroine?"

"Yes."

"I feel that the possibility of Catherine agreeing to play the heroine is much smaller than that of Ke Xizhe agreeing to direct."

Wang Chuan felt a little headache when he thought of the conversation that day.

Catherine's smile was very defensive, making it impossible to attack.

When the status is not equal, a singer may be impressed by talent, and an actor is almost invincible.

"I think so too," Lin Tong shrugged with a helpless smile, "But anyway, the project is not in the works, we can wait until after the Oscars next year."

"Whether Catherine takes or not takes will make her more likely to play?"

Wang Chuan asked curiously.

"It's all possible."

Lin Tong said casually.

"That is, you don't have any ideas yet?"

Wang Chuan couldn't help laughing.

"Yeah." Lin Tong sighed helplessly, and laughed with Wang Chuan, but still explained, "The main reason is that she is not thinking about whether to act in a movie like ours."

"Okay, but Ke Xizhe promised that if the filming starts, I will definitely be the male lead. After I saw him play tricks this afternoon, I forced a promise."

Wang Chuan spoke again.

"Your meeting this time was even better than I expected," Lin Tong was a little surprised, "Since he said such a thing, he was able to stand up and speak for us at a critical moment. How did you impress me? his?"

"Probably because I told him that I also wrote a lot of scripts for musicals, and he was too moved?"

"You really write a lot?"

"Yes."

"Show him all?"

"Not yet, I just told him about it. He still has a piano at home, and I'm an actor. I sang, sang, and introduced me. It's basically the same."

The atmosphere at that time was really harmonious.

So when Wang Chuan finally heard that Ke Xizhe said that he would not shoot within two years, and did not promise when to shoot, his heart was full of shit.

"Then we have another reason to impress him. We can promise to invest in helping him make two or three movies."

"How much help?"

"Talking is better than nothing."

"Ok."

……

"How about it?"

Ruan Qiushui made tea for Wang Chuan.

"The progress is gratifying. Although it has not been finalized, it is also very promising. It may not be finalized until March or April next year."

Holding hot tea, Wang Chuan smiled and said, in the warm big house, he felt a rare peace.

In the afternoon, I was still so angry that I was dying, but now I am in a much better mood.

"Then congratulate me?" Ruan Qiushui also laughed, "The Chicago Film Critics Association sent me a letter in the afternoon, and I seem to have won the best actress."

"You're awesome too baby!"

Surprised, Wang Chuan directly hugged Ruan Qiushui into his arms.

Ruan Qiushui didn't complain that Wang Chuan called her baby now.

The foreheads of the two touched each other, and they looked at each other from the closest distance and laughed non-stop.

Then after waiting for a long time, Ruan Qiushui found that Wang Chuan was still smiling, so he had to take the initiative to kiss the lips of the other party who was close at hand.

……

After getting up the next day, Ruan Qiushui suddenly said something.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you last night that a man named Jones came to drink with you yesterday."

"Oh?"

Wang Chuan was a little surprised.

That is, we sat together at the premiere of the movie, chatted a few words at the party, and then went straight to drink. Are the American people so hospitable?

"He also left his contact information, so that you can find him if you have time to drink."

Ruan Qiushui said and handed a business card to Wang Chuan.

It almost made Wang Chuan think that he had heard wrongly before, that Jones was not an actor, but an intermediary of something.

But Wang Chuan still put away the business card.

Because I feel that Jones is okay, and it's good to drink when you're bored.

Just like today, Ruan Qiushui was going to Chicago, and Wang Chuan's itinerary was to meet Elise, so he happened to be free in the evening.

……

The first impression I saw when I saw Elise was that she was really tall.

Wang Chuan felt that her height was about 1.8 meters, and she was still wearing flat shoes.

If she was wearing high heels, Wang Chuan would look up at her.

Wang Chuan also felt that Elise might have stood up deliberately when he went in, trying to use her height to put pressure on herself, and then sat down after seeing that Wang Chuan's height was okay, without greeting Wang Chuan, Instead, she raised Erlang's legs and showed off her flat shoes.

Her eyes were always scrutinizing, as if she was desperately trying to find out what's wrong with Wang Chuan, and she really felt uncomfortable looking at Wang Chuan.

Her domineering performance was not at all embarrassing by the scandal outside.

"Americans and Chinese people have different aesthetics. Many people in China think I'm handsome."

Wang Chuan, who sat across from her, shrugged and spoke first.

Wang Chuan understood Park Seji's discomfort when working with Elise.

"..." Elise probably didn't expect Wang Chuan to speak first, her expression changed unnaturally, the unhappiness in her eyes flashed, she still smiled and said, "I am an American and I think you are handsome."

"you're very pretty too."

Wang Chuan praised back politely.

Although her figure is a bit burly compared to ordinary women, she has blond hair and white skin, and deep facial features. With Chinese aesthetic habits, it is difficult to find it ugly.

Being pretty is also the reason why Elise is so popular in China.

"Elise."

"Wang Chuan."

Meeting for the first time, it can be called... Pleasant.

At least after the greeting, the feeling of aloofness on Elise's face faded away.

She also exchanged music with Wang Chuan.

"I've listened to your songs. Generally speaking, I think it should be... I like it."

It can be seen that Elise did not make any preparations for this meeting, and she still stumbled when she spoke.

"I like your songs too."

Wang Chuan also said calmly to go back.

"..."

Elise stood up and went out.

never came back.

"Elise has a good impression of you," Gris Chen said after sitting in the car, "She is also very satisfied with the demo you prepared, and she is not planning to sign the songwriter."

"is it?"

Wang Chuan asked with a strange smile.

"Yeah, because of the previous plagiarism scandal, she is a little sensitive now, and she is worried about getting into trouble again."

Gris explained.

"I mean she made a good impression."

Wang Chuan himself didn't feel it.

"Eh...Actually, Elise is going to get engaged next year. The other party is an executive of Universal Records. She announced it directly if she was not entangled in the scandal in the second half of the year." Gris laughed a little awkwardly, "So she At that time, I was so angry about the scandal rumors with Park Seki."

"..."

Wang Chuan was speechless.

How can this person look at himself like this...

After returning home, Ruan Qiushui has sent out a press release stating that Ruan Qiushui was awarded Best Actress by the Chicago Film Critics Association.

It's no longer just like, but officially in the bag!

Wang Chuan called Ruan Qiushui for a long time to congratulate her.

The significance of Ruan Qiushui winning the Best Actress Award from the Chicago Film Critics Association is extraordinary.

In the awards season, if you want to win all the prizes, the most important thing is to open the situation first, otherwise there will be nothing to talk about later. Ruan Qiushui won this award, which marks that she has officially entered the Hollywood actress who contributed the best performance this year one of the ranks.

The current Ruan Qiushui is even very likely to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress.

... The reason why I say even is because the actress given to Ruan Qiushui by the Chicago Film Critics Association is really an upset.

Previously, no matter whether it was in Hollywood or Chinese rational movie fans, they believed that Ruan Qiushui won as many nominations as possible in this awards season. A Chinese person, the works he relies on are also Chinese movies.

But he won the Best Actress directly!

What a surprise!

After hearing the news, Huaxia was overjoyed, and major Hollywood media even published articles expressing surprise, which directly took away the limelight of other awards.

But after being surprised, thinking about the Chicago Film Critics Association, it seems that it is not particularly incomprehensible.

Because although the awards they awarded have a coincidence rate of more than 35% with the final results of the Oscars, they have been complaining about giving out different awards intermittently, and they used to have the label of focusing on African Americans, but now they take time to pay attention If you look at Asians, you can boast about tolerance and fairness.

The strategy Ruan Qiushui's public relations team had set before was to strive for a breakthrough here, and finally achieved the set goal, and can continue to work towards the next goal.

……

Ruan Qiushui was not at home, so Wang Chuan called Jones and asked him to come out for a drink.

Because he was worried that he was hiding things in the car, Wang Chuan drove to pick him up by himself, and then found a relatively clean bar, where he could enjoy the band's performance by the way.

Jones congratulated Wang Chuan first, and the news that Ruan Qiushui won the actress today.

Wang Chuan thanked Ruan Qiushui.

Then Jones mentioned that he had been contacted by his agent about the opportunity to go to Huaxia to make a movie, and he was hesitating whether to go or not, and hoped that Wang Chuan would give him some advice.

Wang Chuan frowned and listened to Jones say the name of the company and the name of the movie. After thinking about it for a long time in his mind, he changed a lot of translations but couldn't figure out which project he was talking about.

It wasn't until Jones said the director's name again that Wang Chuan realized that he was talking about Yang Fan, the director of Wang Chuan's real debut on the big screen, "Smooth Sail".

The name of the movie should be "Beautiful Future", not "Beautiful Journey"...

Wang Chuan has heard of this project. After all, with Yang Fan's status, he will definitely not just make a movie if he wants to make a movie.

Haven't all the American actors been found here?

But this is also something that makes Wang Chuan feel a little strange.

Because before calling him for a drink, Wang Chuan knew specifically that this Jones was not even in the third tier in the United States, and he could barely be regarded as a fourth tier actor. supreme light.

The popularity of this Jones in the United States is very average, let alone in China.

However, Huaxia’s film projects are looking for actors from the United States to cooperate with. Basically, they are looking for big-name actors, or old-fashioned big-name actors. For some insignificant foreign roles, you can find actors who have appeared in various film and television dramas in China for a long time. It is not expensive. The acting is okay.

Isn't it better than traveling thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean to find this Jones?

It's not that Wang Chuan looked down on Jones, but he was a little worried that he would be cheated.

Looking at the time, Huaxia should have arrived in the morning, so Wang Chuan called Lu Ang and asked him for Yang Fan's phone number.

When filming "Smooth Sail", Wang Chuan did not have Yang Fan's phone number.

After the call is over.

"Are you going to China for long-term development?"

Wang Chuan asked in surprise.

The casting director of "Beautiful Future" told Wang Chuan that Jones was indeed on their casting list, and then he added that Jones was recommended to the crew by the Huaxia branch of the agency caa. People say that Jones is willing to develop in China for a long time, and hopes to have a long-term and good cooperation with Wanli Films, and the salary offer is not particularly expensive, so the crew planned to use him.

"Didn't you say that the beauty of China is beyond my imagination?"

Jones smiled with an inexplicable sense of relief.

"Of course," Wang Chuan affirmed, "but I think you seem to have made your own decision?"

"That's why I asked you to drink, and I want you to 'take care' of me in Huaxia."

Jones also winked.

He also spoke the word care in Chinese. Although it was very lame, Wang Chuan could understand it.

"of course can."

Wang Chuan laughed.

Wang Chuan can still support this kind of rare species that is not completely impossible to get along with, but is still preparing to leave the United States and join China.

When he finished drinking and left, Wang Chuan wanted to pay the bill himself.

Because when Wang Chuan went to pick up Jones, he saw that he should be poorer than himself, and the apartments he lived in were all rented out.

And it was Wang Chuan who took the initiative to ask him to drink.

However, he was forcibly stopped by Jones, who was a little drunk.

"I'll drink with you again when I go to Huaxia."

Jones finally said.

"it is good."

Wang Chuan agreed.
