Chapter 661 Today is different from the past (4200+ chapters, please subscribe~)

In Los Angeles in May, you can already feel the enthusiasm here. Wu Jianye is wearing a simple white T-shirt, jeans, and a pair of white sneakers. His hair has grown a little. This outfit makes Wu Jianye look Like a man in his 20s.

At this time, Wu Jianye was sitting in a coffee shop on the side of the street, and outside the window were many men and women wearing cool clothes, calling friends and friends, and driving past in their cars.

Sitting next to them were Dai Zhen and Chen Le.

"Brother, who, I have to make you wait for him!" Chen Le said with a bit of displeasure.

Wu Jianye smiled slightly and said, "We've just arrived, and we haven't arrived at the appointed time yet, so it doesn't mean that the other party is late!"

Then Wu Jianye asked Chen Ledao: "How are you and Dan Silan doing now?"

Speaking of Dan Silan, Chen Le showed a happy smile on his face, and said: "It's good, I'm living a fulfilling life now, and I'm preparing for school!"

The arrangements for Dan Silan to go to college in Los Angeles are almost done, but it is a bit difficult to continue her classical dance course here, and she has changed the history of art.

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Then what about you, have you thought about what's going to happen in the future?"

Wu Jianye had told Chen Le before that if he wanted to maintain his relationship for a long time, he had to cultivate their common hobbies, or make their own plans!

Now that nothing happened, Wu Jianye casually asked about Chen Le's plan.

Chen Le scratched his head and said, "I haven't thought about it. What I discussed with Yulan is that when she graduates here, she is thinking about the future."

Wu Jianye thought for a while, and the two of them were only in their early 20s, so they didn't say much.

At this time, the person Wu Jianye was waiting for had also arrived, a middle-aged man in his early 40s, with a sense of tenacity in his elegance.

When the man saw Wu Jianye, he immediately smiled, walked over, and apologized: "I'm really sorry to keep you waiting, Director Wu!"

Wu Jianye pointed to his watch and said with a smile, "It's okay, you are not late, I am early!"

When Dai Zhen and Chen Le saw Wu Jianye and others coming, they sat on the table next to them.

After Wu Jianye sat down with this man, he said with a smile, "Sam, I invite you here this time, because I hope you can star in my new movie "Jurassic Park"!"

Sam Neil!

British actor, his father is a New Zealand military officer, and his mother is English. When he was in college, he got a bachelor's degree in English literature.

It is precisely this family background and learning environment that endow him with both elegance and tenacity.

Wu Jianye came to him naturally to let him play Dr. Aaron Grant in "Jurassic Park". In fact, in another time and space, Dr. Aaron Grant played by Sam Neill.

At this time, Sam Neal was not considered a well-known actor in Hollywood, and his fame was more concentrated in England. In the 80s, he also won the best actor award on British TV.

So when he found out from his agent that Wu Jianye had invited him, he was very excited at the time, and he went out early today, but he didn't expect that Wu Jianye would be earlier than himself.

"Director Wu, I am very honored to be invited by you. I have watched the previous movies "The Love of Ghosts" and "The Last Emperor". They are very artistic movies. If I can act in your movie, I will I believe it will be a glorious moment in my career!"

Sam Neal did not shy away from expressing his desire to participate in Wu Jianye's movie.

His attitude didn't make Wu Jianye feel strange, because Wu Jianye was no longer the original Wu Jianye at this time. When Wu Jianye just came to Hollywood, the mainstream film circles in North America didn't believe Wu Jianye at all. ability.

The success of "The Love of Ghosts" made Wu Jianye famous in the mainstream North American film circle. Although his Chinese identity still makes many people secretly discriminate against him, but the discrimination that should be discriminated against, There are many people who want to star in Wu Jianye's new film.

This is the benefit that a person brings after success!
It is also why everyone likes success. One is the inner satisfaction of success, which cannot be replaced by other feelings. The other is the much-anticipated sense of accomplishment after success is still intoxicating!

"Haha, it is also a very happy thing for me to invite you, Sam."

Since Sam Neal had no objections, the two began to chat about the situation of the movie. Most likely, Wu Jianye introduced the situation to him. After the conversation, he took his manager to Phantom Entertainment to sign the contract.

While chatting with Sam Neal, Wu Jianye did not notice a beautiful figure walking into the coffee shop again. After this figure came to the coffee shop, he looked around the coffee shop first, and then saw his target .

With a surprised expression on his face, he came to Wu Jianye's side.

"Director Wu."

Wu Jianye raised his head when he heard the voice, and when he saw this girl, he was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then remembered who she was!

"Monica!"

Monica said with a surprised smile, "Director Wu, you still remember me, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Wu Jianye didn't think too much about it. After all, the coffee shop he was looking for was a relatively well-known coffee shop in Los Angeles. Hollywood stars often came here, so Wu Jianye felt that seeing Monica was not a good thing. Unexpected.

"You are this?"

Although Monica is very beautiful, Wu Jianye is talking about movies with Sam Neil now, and at Wu Jianye's current state, no matter how beautiful a girl is, it is not too difficult for him to get Things, so there is no plan to let Monica sit here.

Monica quickly said, "I made an appointment with my friend a long time ago!"

Wu Jianye nodded and didn't say anything, but the meaning was already obvious, he wanted to talk to Sam Neal.

Monica also said goodbye very tactfully and left.

Neither Wu Jianye nor Sam Neal had much thought about such a situation. It is basically no secret that such a situation in Hollywood.

Everyone can give their all to be famous.

Until now, Wu Jianye still didn't think much about it.

The chat with Sam Neill went very smoothly. Wu Jianye told him about the shooting concept of "Jurassic Park", and hoped that Sam Neill could learn the common sense of paleontology before the official shooting.

Sam Neal had no problem with that either.

More than an hour later, Wu Jianye and Sam Neil got up and shook hands to say goodbye. As for Sam Neil going to Phantom Entertainment to sign the contract, Wu Jianye naturally didn't need to follow him.

And Wu Jianye didn't leave the coffee shop, but sat here and continued to enjoy the scenery outside, but from the frequent movements of Wu Jianye looking at his watch, it could be seen that he was still waiting for someone.

Monica glanced at Wu Jianye's behavior, and then stopped her thoughts of approaching him to strike up a conversation. To seduce a person also requires a plan. When she sees a man, she jumps up, which is the way of ordinary women.

About 10 minutes later, Wu Jianye's second wave of guests arrived.

"Director Wu, long time no see!"

Two men came in, one Chinese and one white. The Chinese was Wu Jianye's old friend, Zun Long who had worked with him before, and his Broadway colleague Jeff Goldblum came with him!

Jeff Goldblum is also an actor in another time and space "Jurassic Park", playing the role of Dr. Ian Malcolm that Wu Jianye wanted Mel Gibson to play.

Since Mel Gibson doesn't want to play this role now, Wu Jianye has no choice but to choose the original actor. In fact, neither Jeff Goldblum nor Sam Neill is a well-known actor in Hollywood at this time.

For the movie "Jurassic Park", the main characters are not people, but those lifelike dinosaurs, so the actors don't need to be too famous, as long as they don't hold back in acting skills.

This can also reduce the shooting budget of some movies, which can be said to be the best of both worlds.

In Jeff Goldblum's film history, there is another role that I have to say, that is "Independence Day" in 96. At that time, he and the newly-debuted Emperor Shi Huang jointly contributed a visual feast to fans all over the world. .

It's just that "Independence Day 2" was released later, it's a pity that the theme of "Independence Day"
Jeff Goldblum is now an actor on Broadway. After learning about his situation, Wu Jianye called Zun Long and asked him to help contact Jeff Goldblum. He also made an appointment to meet today!
Although the role of Dr. Ian did not have many roles in the first part, he has become the well-deserved number one hero in the second part, so Wu Jianye still values ​​this role very much.

Although Wu Jianye himself will not direct the second "Jurassic Park", he still has to lay a good foundation for the subsequent development of this film.

Jeff Goldblum has participated in several Hollywood movies before. The most recent one is the horror movie "The Fly" released in 86. In this movie, Jeff's role is cold and weird. It was once his label in Hollywood.

However, as a Broadway actor, he naturally has his own pursuits. Of course, there are also considerations of interests. The cold and weird character design can't bring him the role of the protagonist of the movie, so he has been looking for a change. It is reasonable for Jeff Goldblum to agree to Wu Jianye's invitation after meeting Wu Jianye.

"Director Wu, I hope our future cooperation will be very pleasant!" Although Jeff Goldblum's movie image is often ruffian, in reality, he is still more humble.

"The movie will start shooting in July this year, during this time you have to adjust your schedule!" Wu Jianye said.

"Don't worry, Director Wu!" Jeff Goldblum said with a smile.

After the official work talk, Zun Long and Jeff Goldblum got up and left. Zun Long even preached with Wu Jianye, and when he had time, he took Chen Chong to visit Wu Jianye.

After the two male protagonists of "Jurassic Park" are confirmed, Wu Jianye's work is basically completed, and the casting directors of "Jurassic Park" are responsible for other roles.

Wu Jianye sat in his seat and called Harry Allen, the casting director of "Jurassic Park".

Harry Allen is the signed director of Hera's agency. He has been in Hollywood for several years, but he has not had any works, and most of them are assistant directors. The identity of the casting director appears in the crew.

But he also has an advantage, that is, he has a very wide network in Hollywood, and he has maintained a good relationship with many directors and actors. This time Wu Jianye was preparing for "Jurassic Park", so he was transferred to the crew as the casting director. identity.

"Director Wu, I have confirmed a few actors here, and I have already sorted them out. Some roles have several backup actors, and you will need to decide by yourself at that time!" Harry Allen received a call from Wu Jianye , immediately reported its own work progress.

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "I will send someone to the company to get the materials!"

Although there is already email at this time, its function is not worth mentioning. For this kind of information, it is still necessary to see that the paper information is more accurate.

After dealing with these matters, Wu Jianye got up and prepared to leave here.

At this time, Monica came over again: "Is Director Wu ready to leave?"

Wu Jianye nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the matter is over, by the way, where is your friend?"

Monica made a disappointed expression and said, "I was released as a pigeon."

For this, Wu Jianye expressed sympathy.

Monica's disappointment didn't last long, and she said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter if you are let go. It is an exciting thing to be able to see Director Wu here."

Wu Jianye laughed: "You're too polite!"

Monica tried to say: "Director Wu, my friends and I have a party tonight, I wonder if you are interested?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I'll forget it, I don't know your friend, and I have other things to do tonight."

Monica showed a disappointed expression: "Okay." But then Monica showed a look of expectation, looked at Wu Jianye, and asked a little timidly: "Then Director Wu, can I keep one of you?" phone?"

It's like how a fan looks when facing his idol.

Wu Jianye said: "Of course there is no problem!"

After speaking, he wrote down his phone number on a napkin and handed it to Monica!

The two bid farewell.

Wu Jianye, who was always smiling, had a different expression on his face when he was sitting in the car, even a little gloomy.

"Find a private detective to check on this Monica!" Wu Jianye ordered.

Dai Zhen asked, "Brother, is there something wrong with this woman?"

"Hehe, it's a big problem!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

When he saw Monica at the coffee shop at first, Wu Jianye didn't think much about it, but the series of actions by Monica later made Wu Jianye more alert.

First of all, there are some problems with Monica's behavior. She said that she was released by a friend, so she should have left early, but she didn't, which means she must have other plans.

Then there is the attitude towards himself, Wu Jianye believes that this Monica must be so active because she wants to get something from herself.

But this kind of thing is not surprising in Hollywood. An actress who has just debuted and wants to climb up must be prepared to sacrifice.

However, Monica's performance does not conform to the way of Hollywood actresses. Their performance should be more active.

Although it was impossible for Wu Jianye to guess that Harvey Weinstein was plotting against him, he always felt that there was something weird about this matter.
