living room.

Bald, plaid shirt, jeans, carrying a schoolbag, sitting on the sofa with legs crossed.

Ah.

The more he looks, the more he looks like a computer science guy.There has always been such a fable in the computer world: You become bald, but you also become stronger!You take off your hat, no more interviews!

look up.

Black-rimmed glasses hung on the bridge of the nose, shrewdly and cautiously examining the two people walking not far away.

Harvey is familiar to him.

The owner of a small film production company said it was a film company, but in fact there were four or five staff members in total.The main thing to do is to buy some inferior foreign movies and resell them to make a difference.

The other looks...it should be John Wu.

"Sir, please follow me." Su Liyao walked over and said.

"Okay, thank you." The bald man stood up, tidied up his plaid shirt, and walked towards Wu Xiaozu and his party with his schoolbag.

……

Director Wu leaned on the sofa casually with his legs crossed, fiddling with cigar cutters in his hand.

"Brother Zu, the whiskey you want."

Li Ruotong, who was wearing a dress and showing delicate calves, was obediently holding a tray, and stood beside her prettyly, taking a sneak look at Wu Xiaozu, and then glanced at the other inexplicable fat man who was getting along with "brother-in-law" opposite him.

I don't know what to talk about, the two fat people chatted very excitedly.

"Thank you, today your perfume seems to make me feel the fruity autumn harvest season."

Wu Xiaozu stood up with a smile on his face, staring at Xiaolongnv, her pretty face turned red, "Sister Qingxia helped me choose this perfume~"

"is it?"

Wu Xiaozu smiled, wiped the side of the little dragon girl, lowered his head and sniffed lightly, "You can try the fresher fig perfume. Qingxia's perfume is more suitable for more mature women. If it is not convenient, I will Next time I will bring you from Hong Kong Island."

Li Ruotong blushed.

Director Wu felt that he had molested Xiaolongnv, which was exciting!He didn't have any obscene thoughts, he just thought it was very interesting.

I'm used to it~╮(╯▽╰)╭.

"Steven~~~~"

Harvey changed his indifferent attitude just now, looked at the bald man who came over, stood up enthusiastically, and introduced, "This is director John Wu, you should have heard his name. This is Jack Luo, this is Alexander Li~
This is Steven Soderbergh! "

Hearing the sound, Director Wu's eyes changed.

The first impression of this name is that it is a Jewish name.Just like Spielberg and Weinstein, Soderbergh is also a typical Jewish name.

Thinking that Harvey introduced the other party to himself, it should be more because of the Jewish circle.In the North American entertainment industry, to be precise, Hollywood on the West Coast, the Jewish influence is very strong.

But seeing the other party, hearing the other party's name, and looking up and down, Wu Xiaozu suddenly knew who the bald man in front of him was.

The golden boy of Hollywood who is famous in later generations~ famous director. "Never Compromise", "Drug Network", and "Ocean's Eleven" series are all written by him, and he can be regarded as a first-line director who has made achievements in both commercial and literary films.

Star actors are not counted. If you really choose a young and adult Hollywood director, except for the genius Spielberg, it may be the bald man in front of you who is the real blockbuster.

The age of the other party should be almost the same as that of Wu Xiaozu.

But director Wu's first "Rainy Night Butcher" is a fart.Wu Xiaozu also filmed a few plays before grasping the context.His first film won the Palme d'Or in Cannes!
In fact, although Wu Xiaozu has always believed that he is worthless in the North American market at this time, in fact he is also well-known among many movie fans.The artistic style is quite popular with young people.

Soderbergh likes Wu Xiaozu's movies very much.

"Mr. John, it's nice to meet you. Just call me Steven." Soderbergh's rigid face melted instantly, and he stretched out his hand with a smile.

"I have been fortunate to have seen your films in Europe, and I especially like your "Dying is as natural as living" and "Suspect"! The previous one refreshed my understanding of the structure of the film. The best exploration of cinematic structure.

The latter one is even more of a work of art, analyzing human nature calmly, appreciably, palely and seriously.At the same time, it enriches the heart of the whole task with details. The objectivity of the appearance and the contradiction in the heart constitute the human nature struggling desperately in the quagmire of distortion. It is really a great work! "

"Thank you for liking my work."

Wu Xiaozu was not too modest, he smiled and invited the other party to sit down.Film

"I also just heard Harvey introduce you. Don't be restrained, we are all young people, and I like to discuss the inclusive art of film with each other. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"It is my pleasure, sir."

Soderbergh nodded slightly, somewhat serious like a German.At the same time, it also shows the other party's good family education.

For the appearance of the bald man in front of him, Wu Xiaozu really got a windfall.The other party can be regarded as a very valuable talent.Although it fell into a trough after the blockbuster, and almost disappeared from everyone, but the follow-up can make a comeback, which also proves the opponent's ability.

Wu Xiaozu looked at the other party, and suddenly felt that it was time for Wu's discipleship plan to start a school in the United States!

Baldy, it's you!You are well-deserved, Big Brother North America!
Wu Xiaozu knew that in order to be successful and successful in North America, in addition to having collaborators, he also needs to have "disciples" cultivated by himself to brag about himself~ Especially this bald man is a purebred Jew, very suitable to be a big disciple of the United States!
Especially since the other party is now bald, it is obvious that his combat power is very high!

"You're welcome, just call me John. It can be seen that you, Steven, have your own aesthetics and opinions on movies. This is very rare." Wu Xiaozu appreciated it.

"Steven was nominated for a Grammy for best music video for his previous documentary on rock music. He's well-known in the industry for his short films," Harvey chimed in.

"It turned out to be like this~ It seems that you, Steven, also like filming very much~" Wu Xiaozu smiled and continued to chat with this topic.

"That's right, are American VHS movies very popular nowadays?" Fei Cheng said.

"Video movies have improved a lot now, and many stars have started shooting videos of their music. Especially Michael Jackson's videos, whose sales throughout the year have surpassed those of best-selling movies.

Videotapes are now also one of the favorite forms of entertainment in American households, second only to television and movie theater consumption.It’s just that video recorders are too expensive nowadays, I think if the price of video recorders is reduced, the profits from video tapes may far exceed the box office of movie theaters~
The video has brought about earth-shaking changes for people. "Steven Soderbergh said rigorously.

It's like a German military officer, with a rigidity and shrewdness that doesn't match his age... he is indeed a bald man.

"Video..."

Fei Cheng's eyes suddenly became lingering, as if thinking of his beloved woman, he smiled, "Video tapes will also become one of the favorite entertainment methods for young people! For example, SEX!"

"Wow~ This makes me feel ready to move." Harvey cooperated beside him.

Obviously, the two of them got together just now and there was nothing good about holding back.

"Video tapes will indeed change people's living habits, but have you ever thought about whether personal privacy will be involved as video tapes and handheld video recorders become popular? I think this should be a good subject."

"That's right!"

Steven Soderbergh leaned forward with bright eyes, then took out a video tape from the schoolbag behind him, suppressed his excitement, and looked at Wu Xiaozu, "Director John, this is a short film I shot. This time I also hope that you can help me watch it when I come here. I heard Harvey say that you intend to invest in movies in the United States..."

Seeing Wu Xiaozu looking at him, Harvey shrugged awkwardly, pretending to be innocent.

In his opinion, Wu Xiaozu is not just a film agency partner, the most important thing is that the other party may become an important partner in overseas financing.

Hong Kong Island is rich.

The other party also holds the film distribution and video tape distribution channels in Asia, which is very important to him.

"I thought it would be a bad thing to try to enter the North American market. Now Hollywood is developing faster and faster. But the demand for foreign capital is also increasing. So I decided that now is a good time." Harvey has ulterior motives He smiled at Wu Xiaozu.

Wu Xiaozu glanced at Steven Soderbergh and Harvey Weinstein, smiled slightly, and took the video tape.

"I'm going to take a serious look at this tape."

This made Steven Soderbergh rarely show a trace of excitement.He ran dozens of film companies, and none of them wanted to invest.Even the company of his father's old friend politely refused.

Harvey Weinstein told him that there was a filmmaker from China who happened to be the director of "Dying is as natural as living" and "Suspect".

Although these films have not yet been released in the United States, many videotapes have actually flowed into the United States.

Soderbergh also came here to try his luck as a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

No loss for Harvey!
...

Wu Xiaozu stood in front of the villa and watched the other party drive away.

"Boss? Are you really interested in investing in the production of an American film?" Fei Cheng said, "I'm afraid this is not a very good idea. We are not familiar with the production environment here~"

"Always try slowly. Aren't you still interested in the San Fernando Valley? It's best to find a professional investigation team. I think it's not difficult in Hollywood. If it's convenient, help us set up a company here to conduct investigations." operation."

Wu Xiaozu thought for a while and added: "Even if I invest, I will hold the final editing rights of this movie and carry out the film operation at the same time."

In the previous life, many people said: Without Harvey's personal editing, Soderbergh's film would not impress the Cannes judges.

Harvey's grasp of the pulse of the judges and the festival is indeed extraordinary.His clips are brilliant.

To a certain extent, Harvey does have an extraordinary artistic aesthetic.

Although he is a jerk.

But character and ability should always be viewed separately.

At the very least, if Xiaozu Wu wants to make a difference in Hollywood, he will inevitably have to deal with people like Harvey Weinstein.
