My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 1019 San Lodu 1990, Chinese in Hollywood 1
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
On September 1990, 9, at the Double'X' Manor in Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, dim warm lights shone in the wine storage room, and the brown wood professional wine cabinet with constant temperature and humidity was placed horizontally. On one side stood a humidor.

The leather sofa is placed in the middle, and the other wall is a set of expensive audio equipment and stacks of vinyl records and albums.

Several men sat together, tasting wine, smoking, laughing and chatting.

Because of the climate, California itself is not inferior to France and Australia's wine-producing regions.

Later generations of Oscar-nominated "Sideways" actor came to Santa Barbara, California. This movie also made the price of Pinot Noir wine rise with the success of the movie.

As the largest wine producing and processing area in California, Santa Barbara had more than 90 grape plantations and wine processing factories in the 30s.

So why do you say that the richer the richer the richer? ?

Before the price of high-end red wine soared here, Wu Xiaozu began to buy a lot of wine from local wineries and wine intermediaries.

If you have money, at worst you have to drink 82-year-old Lafite. . . .Sometimes, the housemaids will use the leftover Lafite when they make goulash
Don't tell me, it's authentic.

There is a square table on the terrace upstairs.

"Congratulations, Qingxia, keep the clouds open to see the moonlight. From now on, we can live together in the United States."

A mature woman said kindly to Lin Mitao as she rubbed a pair of hand-carved mahjong with deer bones inlaid with bamboo.

The whole person exudes the atmosphere of a lady from a great family, and the words are filled with the gentleness of the older generation, just like traditional Chinese characters.

"Sister Zhen, I'm not sure about that." Lin Feng smiled tenderly.

"What's wrong?" Zhen Zhen turned his head to look at Lin Mitao who was wearing a veil dress with a delicate face, his dark eyes were full of concern.

"Yaoji—it's not that my sister wants to return to Hong Kong to film."

Lin Lixia ignored her sister's glaring at her, and couldn't help complaining, "I heard from the bodyguard that in order to stay with my sister and children even though I come to Saint-Lo, my brother-in-law has been compressing the rest time, and all kinds of arrangements are very crowded.

He even deliberately shifted the focus of his work to North America... Otherwise, why would a big boss come to a foreign country and start over?Anyway, if I had so much money, I would not work so hard. "

This sister-in-law supports her brother-in-law in every line.Not in vain is the gift her brother-in-law gave her - a BMW sports car.

Of course, he didn't know that her brother-in-law used Lin Mitao's credit card.

"Are you sure you want to pay?"

Lin Fengjiao looked at Lin Mitao in surprise, she judged others by herself, she thought that Lin Qingxia would be like her, a woman behind a man, silently supporting and enduring.

"Mr. Wu won't agree?"

"Azu did not restrict me from being a husband and raising children. He once said that within the limits of one's ability, one should not give up career and hobbies for the sake of family. He encouraged me to write and submit..."

Lin Mitao rubbed the dominoes, eyes slightly curved: "He also thinks it would be a pity if I retire so early. At the same time, he also supports me very much in doing what I like to do.

I think, I'm only in my 30s, and I haven't really reached the point of retirement.It's better to take advantage of this time to do more things you like.I shoot for a few months every year, and then rest the rest of the time, and I can also fly back to the US.Wait two or three years... maybe I'll get tired of it myself. "

Looking at the few girlfriends, she smiled and stretched, "When two people are together, private space is actually more important. Besides, even if he is in North America, he probably has something to do."

"It's also a good idea. If you want to film, you can shoot for two or three months, and if you don't want to, you can rest." Zhen Zhen smiled slightly, and patted the other's hand dotingly, "It's really nice to meet a man who understands you so well." It's not easy.

Compared with Mr. Wu's physical age, his psychological maturity is really higher than many people older than him.

It can be seen that he really cares about you and respects you. "

"Brother-in-law is really great." Sister-in-law Rainbow Bi sent it in time.

"What role do you want to take?"

Lin Fengjiao looked enviously at Lin Mitao, who also secretly gave birth to a child, she was so romantic and considerate, her family was so vulgar.

"The company's "Evil in the West" is a work directed by Wang Jiawei. There is also "Fright Night", which is a work adapted from a Hitchcock movie. At the same time, Shi Nansheng also said that he will shoot "Swordsman 2" " and Li Bihua's "Green Snake"..." Lin Qingxia smiled slightly.

"You are destined to be rich or poor in the dark. It is wrong, never true, and always true. No matter what you say, I will stick to my duty and always believe that silence is golden..."

My brother's "Silence is Golden" is playing slowly from the sound system next to me.

……

Wine storage and cigar room.

Wu Xiaozu folded his legs, shook the cigar, and swallowed a few puffs, "This cigar is average, and Cuban cigars are still a little damp this month."

"It's not bad to try the ones from the United States." Harvey sank into the brown sofa, his skin was well tanned, except for the white circles under his eyes.

In the white western world, in the summer time, too pale skin proves that you are poor.It means that you have no time or money to bask in the sun.Under normal circumstances, it is the white circles under the eyes, which is caused by wearing sunglasses when sunbathing or under the spotlight. You can see it by looking at it.

"Little Tokyo here in St. Luodu is okay, but Koreatown is a bit messy." Zhang Jiazhen crossed his legs, dangling a goblet in his hand, sniffing lightly with his nose from time to time, and then took a small sip.

"If you're in Chinatown, you might as well go to San Francisco."

"San Francisco is also good." Wu Xiaozu glanced at Cheng Long, who was leaning on the sofa next to him, who had no image, "Brother Long, this time the action guide and family class will be in charge. Is everyone's schedule okay?"

"No problem. After two days of competition, I have to promote "Fire Island". At the same time, I have some work to do on "Flying Eagle Project". After that, I will be fine." Cheng Long jumped up like a carp.

"That's good."

"There are other characters that are needed in the play," Harvey reminded. "The most important thing here is a man."

"Let's choose a role." Wu Xiaozu here can be considered to have a shallow foundation, unfamiliar with the place, and can't metaphysically choose a role.

"Besides this character, there are several other characters of Chinese descent." Zhang Jiazhen glanced at Wu Xiaozu, "I would like to recommend it in the circle...after all..."

He didn't say anything later, but Wu Xiaozu understood what he meant.

Wu Xiaozu is definitely a very unique banner in the Chinese film circle today, if the news of him making a film in Hollywood spreads.I believe there must be many ethnic Chinese who would recommend themselves.

Of course film work pays attention to the distinction between public and private, but since it is mixed in this circle, it is unavoidable to be sophisticated.

His 'banner' can't be too unkind.

"As long as the requirements are met, brother Zhen, you can arrange it." Wu Xiaozu nodded, not too entangled in this issue.

These days, it is very difficult for Chinese Americans to get along in Hollywood.

There are only a handful of roles that can be given to them, and there are very few Chinese who really have the opportunity to get a chance to show themselves here.

In North America, the Chinese also have their own set of circles.

There is a mix of dragons and snakes here, and there is no lack of real red for cattle...even dancing with the one in Beidaihe in Fujian Province.

Of course, there are also many people who cheat their compatriots by cheating on food and drink.

But the Chinese who are eligible to enter the circle basically have a certain status and ability, or... family background.
