Chapter 202 Revisiting the mandarin dream with the movie queen
In the embassy room, Cheng Dongqing sat in front of the visa officer, sweating even behind his ears. He always felt that he could hear Meng Xiaojun's standard and fluent pronunciation through several walls, and used his confidence to explain the details of studying abroad. reason.

Do you have any plan after your study in the United States? "(Do you have any plans after you study in Lighthouse?) The visa officer asked Cheng Dongqing this. This is almost a must-answer question. It is a must-have question in the Lighthouse study visa routine. Meng Xiaojun also mentioned it to Cheng Dongqing.

"No, I'll come back to my country."

Cheng Dongqing's answer is also the standard answer for the American student visa, and one of the original analysis papers that candidates must memorize.However, the visa officer obviously changed the criteria for correcting the answers this time, with a negative expression on his face.

The visa officer looked straight into Cheng Dongqing's eyes, as if he wanted to see even the slightest trick in them. After a moment of silence, he asked quite seriously: "Who is your idol?"
In fact, the best answer to this question is to talk about Jesus or Washington, but Cheng Dongqing was still Meng Xiaojun's fan at this time, so someone sent him: "My idol is Meng Xiaojun."

Of course, the visa officer had never heard of this person, and thought he was talking about Mencius. He knew Mencius. He was one of the great philosophers in the East. Mencius, who ranked second among the hundreds of philosophers, was comparable to Montesquieu. Master.

Cheng Dongqing quickly shook his head and said with great determination: "No, not Mencius, Meng Xiaojun!" As if he was afraid that he would be brainwashed if he answered too late, he emphasized the three words Meng Xiaojun and read them out one by one with accent.

The visa officer looked at the offending young man in front of him for a long time with a look that looked like a fool. Obviously, this was a type he had never seen among the young people he had interviewed.

Gu Zhongyu's appearance at this time looked quite like a puppy in the countryside waiting for its owner to come home and feed him bones. He was expectant and serious, but he always squatted at the door of his house in a quite disciplined manner.

Unfortunately, the master refused to give me the bones, so the visa officer finally stamped the visa with a "Reject" stamp.

"Thank you guys. I have read the script. This movie was made for friendly exchanges between the two countries. The Lighthouse Country is looking forward to the publicity it will give us after the movie is released."

After the photo was taken, the person in charge of the consulate, Consul General Jason, came over to shake hands with them and thank them.

As diplomatic staff, they also have the obligation to publicize externally. The movie "China Partners" tells the story of several domestic entrepreneurs who came to a lighthouse country to pursue their dreams. This is obviously conducive to their external publicity, so naturally Very enthusiastic.

"Thank you. We will go to the United States later. We may shoot on Wall Street. The roads may be closed for filming. I wonder if your country can provide convenience?"

Jason waved his hand: "No problem, I can call you back to China for instructions. It's not a big problem."

The release of this movie is the result of their work, and he is naturally happy to help. They welcome any foreign movies that are beneficial to the image of the lighthouse.

Gu Zhongyu shook hands with Jason and thanked Jason with a smile on his face, while Chen Kexin looked depressed. This should have been his job as a director.

And he was a little worried. There were many differences between the script Gu Zhongyu showed to the consulate and the one he was filming now, especially the part related to Meng Xiaojun's study abroad. Isn't this a lie?

For example, Meng Xiaojun studied in the United States. Compared with the original version, Gu Zhongyu simply made his experience in the United States more down-to-earth.

In addition to losing his lab job, he also experienced being robbed at gunpoint, being racially profiled and other characteristic plots of Lighthouse.

And these plots are obviously not conducive to the glorious image of the lighthouse.

So on the way back, Chen Kexin expressed concerns about him.

"Don't worry, my great director, our movie won't be released on the Lighthouse. Even if these foreigners watch our movie, the most they can do is curse, what else can they do?"

"But you are smearing the family."

"Smear? Free mlj, gun battles every day, am I smearing this plot? Or have they said that the phenomenon of racial discrimination has completely disappeared? People can't avoid it when they make movies, so why do we foreigners worry about it?"

"Just like many people say that talk shows are an offensive art, Beacon's talk shows are bigger than ours. My plot is just a little more realistic, and it can't be said to be a smear show!"

Chen Kexin sighed: "Okay! I can't tell you anything."

It was his first time as a director that he felt so wronged because the actors he faced were his investors and he didn't dare to have a conflict at all.

Seeing Chen Kexin's reaction, Gu Zhongyu was very dismissive in his heart. After all, he was still from the Xiangjiang entertainment industry. Regarding the image of the West, their expressions in movies always tended to defend rather than belittle.

Originally, Gu Zhongyu had a good impression of Chen Kexin. Looking at the situation now, this movie may be the last time the two of them collaborate.

After all, there is no way to reconcile three different views.

The progress of "Partners in China" is very fast, and the domestic scenes are basically completed. The crew set off to the lighthouse without stopping to prepare for filming.

At the same time, the previous movie "Like You" by Gu Zhongyu and Liu Yufei was also canceled. The final box office revenue was 7 million. Although it was only 2 million more than the No. 2 "Painted Skin 10", the cost of the two movies was also It is completely incomparable. Zongheng Film and Television has made a lot of money this time, even more than "Ball Lightning" with a box office of more than [-] billion.

Sissi was also very happy and talked to him on the phone for a long time, saying that she was blinded by lard in the past, and she would never make those bullshit literary films again.

Watching movies is so profitable that Gu Zhongyu wants to make a few more romantic comedies like this, since he has plenty of scripts anyway.

"Have you guys been filming in New York yet?"

"We started as soon as we got off the plane yesterday. Time is tight, so try to finish it as soon as possible!"

The dozens of people in the crew spend a lot of money to stay in New York every day. Just staying in a hotel for a day costs more than 10,000 US dollars, so the producer Zhang Miao suggested that they should finish filming within a week.

They flew to New York for filming today. In addition to receiving enthusiastic support from the Chinese people, they also received "special care" from the local police because of their high popularity. Wherever they went, they were "circled" by various police cars and police officers. Ensure the shooting goes smoothly.

The consul general also meant what he said. When they were filming in bustling areas such as Times Square and Fifth Avenue, which were crowded with people, the local government did send people to "escort" the crew, and they immediately blocked the roads and let them go. Enjoyed the Batman treatment. "

Moreover, when filming in New York this time, the leading actors of the crew also mobilized their whole families. Chen Kexin’s family, Deng Chao’s family, and Tong Dawei’s wife and daughter all came by chance to come all the way to silently “help out.” Now a group of people are having a family down there. It's a party!
Liu Yufei asked curiously: "Then why don't you go down and have fun with the people?"

"Everyone spends time with their families, but I'm a single person and it's embarrassing to go there."

"Are you considered single? Are you sorry? It's a pity that "Meng Hua Lu" is about to start filming, otherwise I would fly to New York to be with you."

"Meng Hua Lu", the first TV series invested by Liu Yufei's studio, is about to enter the production stage. These days, she has been studying the etiquette and tea culture of the Song Dynasty with the other two female leads Liu Yan and Yang Caiyu. "Get ready for the new drama! This is your return to the small screen after six years. Don't mess up the performance, especially work on your lines. Don't let people find out that you haven't changed since "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". There is no progress.”

Liu Yufei's line skills are weak. No matter what she plays, her speech feels weak and weak, and her enunciation is not clear. She passes by in one piece, so it is often difficult to hear what she is saying.

This kind of vocalization will be very disadvantageous when it comes to emotional outbursts, and it can also be said that it is impossible to play a role that is too tense.It would be fine if she used her gentle voice to play a fantasy fairy, but she would suffer a lot when playing other heroines with personality.

Of course, this trait was very endearing on the boat. Gu Zhongyu simply loved Sissy's vague and soft voice.

"I know, my teacher used to say this to me when I was at Nortel, but my voice is born like this. What can I do?"

"You can hold pebbles in your mouth and practice your pronunciation and lines by reading loudly. Aren't you quite experienced in this?"

Liu Yufei was puzzled when she heard this. When had she ever practiced with stones in her mouth?

But she quickly realized what Gu Zhongyu meant by experience. She blushed and pouted at him. This man was never serious. He could drive on this broken road.

Suddenly she remembered something and asked: "Others are having a party, and you just lie down in bed and sleep like this?"

"if not?"

"Isn't Gao Yuanyuan with you? There's also a goblin named Bai Bin, right? Tell me, is there someone lying next to you now?"

Unexpectedly, she was quite alert. To show her innocence, Gu Zhongyu immediately picked up his phone and pointed the camera at the entire bedroom and the bedside to show her.

"See? Where did he come from? In your mind, am I the kind of Teddy who can't live without a woman for a moment?"

"Teddy is not as hungry as you. Who knows if you just hid someone. Since you are tired from filming, go to bed early. I will hang up first."

As soon as the phone was hung up, there was a rush of clams on the quilt. Charlize Theron slowly got out of it, first picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth, and then took a big gulp of mineral water.

Shalizi felt that Gu Zhongyu might have eaten too much meat recently, and even the taste had changed.

Gu Zhongyu doesn't have many friends in Beacon. Apart from Xiao Lizi, it's Sha Liz.

Gu Zhongyu posted the news that they were coming to the lighthouse to film on his Facebook. His intention was to inform his fans who were international students. Unexpectedly, Shalizi also saw it and came all the way from Los Angeles just to relive the dream with him. .

Frankly speaking, Gu Zhongyu initially regarded the last beautiful encounter in Cannes as just a competition, which is normal for bold Westerners.

I originally thought that the two would never meet again after this time, but I never expected that Shalizi, as a big Hollywood star, would actually come to his door and be so wild that she forced him to kiss him!

There was nothing he could do about it. He did as the Romans did. If the other party entertained him so warmly, he would have no choice but to die in exhaustion.

"Were you just talking to your girlfriend on the phone?"

"No, just my friend."

Shaliz chuckled: "You don't have to lie to me. Although I can't understand Chinese, I can guess from her tone that she is definitely the woman you have an affair with. She is also not very old and her voice is a bit immature. "

"Oh my Shalizi, why are you so smart and so beautiful? Well, I admit, our relationship is indeed unusual, but..."

She interrupted her speech by tapping his lips with her finger, and then said: "Little man, you don't need to worry, I'm past the age of jealousy, and it's impossible for everyone to have any consequences, so why should I care about you?" What about private life?”

Shalizi, who is 37 years old this year, has long passed the age of being obsessed with love and marriage. She enjoys her current single life and has secretly decided not to marry for life.

"It's so callous, even to the man who just sent you to heaven."

"Don't be a good little man for being cheap, didn't I just let you enjoy it like an emperor?"

Gu Zhongyu laughed, put the topic aside, held Shalizi in his arms, and asked: "Let's talk about what interesting movies we are filming recently, Shalizi."

"Huh, they are all very boring movies. They are vulgar, imbecile, and superficial. Do you know my latest movie this year?"

"Snow White and the Huntsman, based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, right? I saw that movie, and it was really bad."

I don’t know if the eldest father drank too much fake wine, so forget it and let the beautiful and cold-hearted Sharize play Snow White’s evil stepmother. At least you should find someone more beautiful as the princess!

As a result, Kristen Stewart, the heroine of "Twilight", was chosen to play Snow White.

Of course, Kristen can't be called ugly, but her role as Snow White is indeed a bit unconvincing. Especially her front teeth look very dramatic and she doesn't look like a princess. So in the movie, it's natural that the stepmother played by Sharize is in the movie. Excellent looks and acting skills.

With such good looks, Magic Mirror actually opened his eyes and told lies, saying that Christine was more beautiful than Salize!

So Bai Fumei's stepmother, the Queen, mistakenly believed the words of the blind man's magic mirror, and blindly envied, hated and pursued the gutter-faced princess, but ended up dying in vain...

But if you think about it carefully, this Snow White is at least a white actress. In a few years, when the trend of political correctness becomes popular, Snow White will have to find a black person to play the role and become a black matchmaker princess.

Shaliz kept complaining: "Originally, I wanted to challenge myself. After all, it was a movie type that I had never been exposed to before, but I didn't expect that the plot of this movie was also a piece of shit! It was a waste of several months of my time."

In today's Hollywood, superhero movies have begun to rise, and there are not many movies suitable for these veteran stars. Even if Tom Cruise is like this, it is a treatment. Salize really has no good choice, so she comes to be a villain. .

"In that case, how about I give you a movie? A realistic one."
