My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 1185 Little Auntie's BBQ in Beverly Hills!

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
Perhaps it is the best time of the year, the late spring and early summer evening in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.

The afterglow is westward, the bright moon is about to replace, the green branches are scattered, the halo shines through the purple clouds, the shade of the trees is spotted, neither hot nor irritable, twenty ringing...

White plastic seats with hollow flower carving holes are placed on the well-trimmed lawn. The charcoal stove is sprayed with a layer of alcohol, and the charcoal is ignited. When it is black, it still has bones, and when it is very red, it has turned to ashes.

Bottles of high-end wine, beverages, coffee and new teas are placed on several tables.

The barbecue grill is placed in the open air, and there are two trees standing beside it, one is an orange tree, and the other is also an orange tree. After all, it is the old Zhou Shuren.

A big boy led two young children to ride bicycles on the grass, chasing and playing, laughing and having fun.

In front of the villa is a semi-circular corridor.

A little aunt with a graceful figure, a pear-shaped figure and loose hair rolled a few fresh bouquets in her hands, inserted them into the vase that was placed next to her like a cockle, and admired them with her chin.

The fingertips are green onions, the dustpan fingerprints are white and light pink, the nails are clean, perhaps with a few drops of dew on them, the water droplets moisten the skin and refresh the heart.

Snapped!
The ridges are elastic, plump and firm.

Auntie Lin cast a reproachful glance at Director Wu's An Lushan's Claw, but she also turned her head and offered her full red lips willingly.

"I asked Lixia to cook your favorite soup."

"I heard that you found your own sister in mainland China?" Wu Xiaozu put his arms around the little aunt's waist, intentionally and forcefully bit the other's earlobe, the painful one frowned, and couldn't help but hit him.

"My sister is doing well in mainland China~~ Mom and Dad wanted to take their family out a few years ago, but they refused. My sister and wife are also very good...the family lives in peace and stability, and is also very happy..." The little aunt said with a smile.

"Poverty and happiness, contentment and happiness." Wu Xiaozu nodded, he was also a little embarrassed by the little aunt's envy.

In her previous life, she took the opportunity to meet her sister because of the filming of "Rolling Red Dust". In fact, before that, her father, Mr. Lin, and mother, Ms. Ma, had met their eldest daughter three years ago.

In this life, Auntie Lin did not accept the filming of "Rolling Red Dust" because she was taking care of her children, but this time she took advantage of the filming of "Evil in the West and Poison in the West", and she got her wish.

After all, it was Wu Xiaozu who failed.

So I also asked someone to help Aunt Lin's sister's family take care of one or two... For this reason, the public unit even allocated a house for her sister's family.

In many cases, blood relationship is indeed very strange.

"Brother-in-law, Mr. Cheng and Sister Fengjiao are here."

Lin Lixia was wearing fitness pants that were popular in the 90s, with a colorful headband on her head, sweat hidden in the fine hairs on her face, holding a bottle of water, and walked over with a smile.

Popularity is really a circle - the girls of later generations wore the once fashionable "fitness pants" of their mothers and grandparents and began to walk the streets in various ways, and then "reluctantly" were slapped on the buttocks by the old mages.

For this kind of thing...

Master Wu, a moral gentleman, maintains a condemning attitude - why can't we show it openly and let those of us who have passed the examination at station B learn about fashion and outfits?The teachers who teach dance on the next channel are all little black silks with the letter B.

"Recently, I've been very diligent in the dance class. Could it be that I'm talking about friends?" Wu Xiaozu laughed and joked about his tall and slender sister-in-law.

"How can there be~~" Lin Lixia rolled her eyelids coquettishly, and approached actively, "There are very few Chinese dance classes in the United States. I am currently taking classical ballet and tap dance..."

Wu Xiaozu walked to the chair next to him and sat down, took out a beer from the ice bucket, took a sip, looked at the slender waist of the king of Chu who was grasped by his sister-in-law, and nodded slightly, "You are quite suitable for classical dance."

"Damn it, my dance teacher recommended me to learn Latin~"

Lightly hammered Wu Xiaozu's shoulders with both hands, "Brother-in-law, my dance teacher is very professional. She has also won the British Tap Dance Championship. I chatted with her a while ago. She wants to open a dance club in Hollywood and plans to pull me to invest together. …Now dance classes are very popular here in California…in fact, they are quite worth investing in.”

"Do you want to come to me to attract investment by being courteous?" Wu Xiaozu didn't accept this at all.

How can he, who has rich experience in prostitution, not be able to see through the tricks of the other party.

"Brother-in-law—"

"You don't even have a decent business plan and planning materials, but you just use your mouth to coax me to pay?" Wu Xiaozu smiled and stretched out his hand to pat his sister-in-law's butt, "Go back and finish the planning and give it to me Look."

Dance class is actually a small amount of money for Wu Xiaozu, but 'everything is suffering'.

He is an international director, is it easy?
As we all know, it is not easy for every female star who mixes international... It is even more difficult for male directors.

"Aren't you too stingy? Is this a small amount of money at most? Azu, can you do it? If not, I'll pay for it. How about $50?"

91. Mr. Cheng walked over with a hearty smile. He had just signed a power of attorney with the big breasted brother - he didn't drink any wine, and the big breasted brother wanted to make his peripheral products. Brother Long didn't even ask. He generously agreed.

Originally, he didn't even want money, buddy~~~
From this point of view, this 'Brother Cheng' is indeed very loyal.

Later, Brother Cheng moved him with emotion and reason and insisted that "Brother Cheng" sign multiple contracts in China, Britain, Japan, Korea, Spain, Italy, Germany, etc., and then give him a 1.9% profit dividend. He is even bigger. All signed.

Cheng Ge also "forced" to "Cheng Ge" $50 signing fee on the grounds that it complied with the procedures and the spirit of the contract, which is why he is so embarrassing here now.

As for the figure of US$10 billion in liquidated damages, he didn't take it seriously at all, and even joked that it was enough?Not enough to add one or two 0s.

The signing fee is several million Hong Kong dollars, which is not a small sum for him.

Although the salary of "Brother Cheng" is not low, but there is nothing to say, now he officially has no bad money...every cent of the salary is earned by hard work.In comparison, these days the stars are indeed doing their jobs... Everyone is versatile.

Of course, despite this, he still doesn't earn as much as passer-by Shuangzi.

"Thank you, brother-in-law. My brother-in-law is right. I'm going to make a business plan right away." The sister-in-law really took it as a career, greeted her with a smile, and ran back upstairs to study.

She naturally knows the difference between intimacy and distance.

It is better to understand whose face the other party is looking at.

"There have been a few test screenings in the past few days. How about the announcement of the painting at Bowei Films?" Cheng Long asked with concern.

"Bowei Films has added another 300 screens, almost 2300 screens. The market feedback is not bad. It depends on the box office after the official opening." Wu Xiaozu started to open a bottle of cold beer and handed it to the other party, "investigation The box office forecast given by the agency is around US$3800 million to US$4100 million."

"Really?"

Brother Long looked delighted, "It's not in vain that we have been running announcements and publicity these days."

This result is already very good.

In this day and age, independent films are thankfully able to recoup their costs, and the multi-million-dollar box office is almost universally celebrated.

That's why the box office results of "Seven Sins" shocked many people.

But many people don't quite see "Seven" as a typical North American independent film.

It is correct to say that it is a film imported from a foreign language, and it has been illuminated by the Oscar halo.

There were two preview screenings in New York and two in Los Angeles, and the word-of-mouth feedback from the east and west coasts was pretty good.

However, whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out for a walk. The word-of-mouth in a small area is overwhelming, but there are many things that are not popular.Even "Chinatown" is definitely not the one with the best reputation.

It’s just that with the blessing of Wu Xiaozu, the North American box office record holder for foreign language films, and Cheng Long’s achievements in recent years—his popularity and market appeal in North America today are probably similar to Tony Jia’s initial domestic The market is about the same.

Many action fans have indeed seen him or know him, but the general public is not very familiar with him. It can only be said that he looks familiar, but he will definitely not buy tickets for him...

This is normal.

Adjani, Sophie Marceona and other top-notch actresses in Europe are still half-red and not black when they come to Hollywood.In comparison, oriental male stars are more difficult to mix in Hollywood.

On the contrary, Wu Xiaozu was relatively relaxed.

It's not that he hasn't received invitations and opportunities from some Hollywood companies recently.

But this kind of thing still has to wait.

It is impossible for him to maintain an independent attitude all the time, that is unrealistic in Hollywood... His best course of action is to commit himself to Hollywood and capital, and then mix it with capital just like Da Mimi.

Don't tell me, my sister-in-law's legs are quite similar to Da Mimi's legs...

When the two chatted together, many people came to the courtyard.

Mu Xiaochen, Wu Junmei, Chen Chong, Kai Ge, and Hong Huang are considered to be of Chinese origin, while Jiang Digui, Lin Chaocheng, Sein Fei, and Quentin are considered to be in the same group.Harvey, Zhang Jiazhen and Nicolas Cage came together.There was another pair who came with them, the Coen brothers.

"Man, Joel and Ethan heard that you prepared a BBQ, so they came here specially to join the party." Harvey said with a smile.

"Hi~ Joel, Ethan! Welcome—" Xiaozu Wu took the initiative to stand up to greet him.

Others also showed curiosity.

By this time, the Coen Brothers were well-known among the intellectual and middle classes.

A "Blood Maze" is enough to make it a place in film history.

Later, Lao Mouzi's "Three Guns" was a remake of this movie. In fact, if you look closely at "Three Guns", although the appearance, behavior and even accent of the characters in the movie look like two-person actors who are crazy about themselves, the core of the story is very solid. It can be seen that the script is very good from the moment the killer kills the boss!
Because the core of the story is indeed "Blood Maze".

The two brothers smiled shyly as a greeting.They don't look like literary and art workers, on the contrary, they have the temperament of men of science and technology.

People who are not familiar with them will find them boring just like people who don't like their movies, and those who like them will find their serious black humor is actually quite interesting...

Compared with Quentin, who was chatting with Lin Chaochen and Jiang Digui next to him, they were more classical. The difference between the academic school and the wild road, one is classical philosophy, and the other is street chatter.

in comparison.

Quentin is a rough warrior—

Criticize him with a letter of proposal from a certain association: "We must resolutely resist vulgar and crude performances, let people get education and enlightenment through tearful laughter, and must not use vulgar, vulgar content and methods to please the audience and cater to the market."

Well, Quentin Degang Tarantino has all of them. In terms of it, he is definitely the banner bearer of the three vulgar representatives in the film industry.

Most of the fans of later generations who like Quentin are not too cold about the Coen Brothers.

There's a joke that doesn't go that way, "The Coen Brothers are heirloom old Western doctors who say 'Look! Hollywood movies are more interesting than ours'!
However, Wu Xiaozu admired the Coen Brothers quite a lot... At least they didn't become sisters, didn't they?

...

On the lawn, the child is laughing.

The beef is sizzling on the grill.

Several big men were sitting casually on the ground with their breasts exposed.

Wu Xiaozu picked up the charcoal burning in the charcoal stove with an iron hook.

"I think "Chinatown" has a comedy and action appearance, but the core still hides a lot of thinking about society, including racial discrimination, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the differences between Eastern and Western cultures...

Ethan and I watched the movie again, and I really enjoyed the philosophical thinking wrapped in the absurd black humor. ’ gushed Joel Cohen, a stern-looking man with curly hair and black-rimmed glasses.

Next to him, Ethan Cohen, with yellow hair on his cheeks, short shaved hair and narrow black-rimmed glasses, took a sip of his beer and nodded in agreement.

Harvey and Fei Cheng got together, their shirts were pierced by the fat.

"A lot of Hollywood workers like Wu's movies. His "Seven Sins" is often out of stock at Blockbuster. I even had to drive to a store a few streets away to rent it, which caused me to forget to return it every time. ..."

Cage raised his hand, couldn't help raising the business, and said with a smile, "I love the scene where Jack jumps off the bridge. To be honest, I really thought it was a special effect."

"Haha..." Several people laughed together.

"Seven Sins" really made a lot of money!

Even Hollywood companies are envious-envious of Harvey's excellent business.

"This also shows that independent films are not without merit." Zhang Jiazhen, wearing gloves, picked up a few sticks of charcoal and threw them into the stove.

"Of course, I've always been convinced of this." Harvey took the time to add hypocritically.

After he chatted with the fat man named Bruce Lee next to him, he was a little surprised by his 'movie career'!

Although he said so, Miramax will throw Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck in a short time.

"Actually, if possible, I think New York is very suitable for the development of independent films, but unfortunately, there is no suitable film festival to give independent films a platform." Wu Xiaozu volunteered.

In this life, the New York Independent Film Festival has not yet been established.

He didn't want to talk about stepping in, as a foreigner, don't try to grab the right to speak in other people's territory.

However, if it is really facilitated, it can be regarded as his vote.

"Whoa, that's a cool idea." Cage laughed in agreement.

"Yeah." Long Ge tried his best to nod to find a sense of participation, "Azu...Wu is very experienced in film festival preparations, and he is the one who supported the Hong Kong Island Film Awards..."

When it comes to flattery, Aunt Yu is all for fun, and it depends on Brother Long when it comes to flattery.

Sure enough, when he mentioned it, Harvey also became interested.

Don't think he can only sit on the red sofa.

A person who can stand out in the independent film circle and stand at the top, if it is not said that he is too close to Wall Street, blocking many people's money, and being treated as a victim of anger and resentment, his bad things are not worth talking about...

This is why Xiaozu Wu chose Harvey Weinstein and Miramax.

Wu Xiaozu picked up the red charcoal with a tong, turned his head, and lit a new cigar.

The charcoal was very hot, burning my face.

As far as the eyes could see, the graceful and graceful little aunt suddenly came over in a hurry.

　Brazenly using Brother Cheng's ball to hold one or two monthly tickets~~~~ Ball moon prostitution! !
