Chapter 260 The Forever Transformers Heroine

These foreigners just love to party.

Usually there will be a kick-off party when a movie is launched, and then there will be a wrapping party when it is finished. If it is a hit at the box office, there will definitely be a celebration party, and if it wins an award, there will be even more parties!

In short, there are endless parties with various names.

"Invisible Guests" completed all live-action shooting of the movie in more than a month, shortening the release time of the entire movie by at least two months. In addition, Gu Zhongyu is about to return to China, and Lionsgate, one of the production companies, Of course, the film industry did its best to be a landlord and held a party to celebrate it.

There is no doubt that Gu Zhongyu is the centerpiece of this party!

There were many people attending the party. Although many were staff members of "The Invisible Guest", most of them were powerful figures from various studios and many Hollywood stars.

Chen Sicheng, who was attending this kind of Hollywood party for the first time, was so excited that he ran around, saying hello to everyone he met, and stuffing business cards into those who looked like bosses, just like selling insurance on the street.

The radiant Shalizi and Alexandra, wearing expensive dresses, accompanied Gu Zhongyu on the left and right, forming two beautiful scenery lines.

Frank Gusta, president of Lionsgate Pictures, looked at Gu Zhongyu in surprise. He didn't expect that an Oriental boy like him could manage two beauties at once. Who said that Asian men are not good at picking up girls?

Frank Gusta led Gu Zhongyu to meet many Hollywood big shots, including Jim Gianlopoulos, the boss of [-]th Century Fox, Brad Gray, the boss of Paramount, and Howard Skin, the president of Sony Pictures. grid.

In the past, Gu Zhongyu only came to Hollywood as an actor and screenwriter, but this time it is different. He is a film investor. No matter where he is, it is always the uncle who pays. Hollywood tycoons will never mind letting these Orientals Filling one's own pockets with money.

In recent years, as domestic capital has become stronger, Gu Zhongyu's colleagues have also been heading to Hollywood one after another.Major film organizations, including Wang Brothers, Wanda, Kirin Pictures, and even Toilet Stand, are vying to acquire and invest in Hollywood film production companies and movies. They are spending a lot of money and are doing something big in Hollywood. determination and action.

But for these large-scale film organizations that seem to have all the power in the country, there is no way they can take this path.

First of all, the international negotiation capabilities required to cooperate with Hollywood are a weak point of these large domestic film institutions.They lack sufficient grasp of the profitability of Hollywood movies and the structure of the overall plan, making it difficult to reach cooperation on an equal footing.

To put it bluntly, even if you kneel on the ground to make money, [-]% of it will still belong to others, which is very chilling.

Some companies came forward to show their sincerity and invested huge amounts of money, completely ignoring the cost, with great momentum, high risks, and limited gains; some were more cautious and followed part of the investment, but because they believed that "they did not invest much", they " Sorry" to fight for their own rights... These are the difficulties that Chinese film institutions have encountered when investing in Hollywood movies.

From language and culture to ways of doing things, there are huge differences between China and the United States.In the business world, these differences not only mean mutual incomprehension, but also make industry communication slow and trust difficult to establish, leading to repeated pitfalls.

For example, Bona Pictures, which is now flourishing in China, spent hundreds of millions of dollars cooperating with Hollywood on "Midway," "Interstellar" and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," but ended up making wedding dresses for others.

"Midway" is okay, at least it was released in China, although the box office was dismal; "Ad Astra" and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" were directly unable to be released in China due to issues such as actors and plot sensitivity, and the box office in the mainland market was "nothing". Bona even found it difficult to recoup its early investment in publicity and distribution expenses.

This is all because I didn’t take care of the controls when we were cooperating and filming. I didn’t even know that I was being tricked secretly, and all the money went into the pockets of Hollywood capital. I paid for free to make movies for others.

So now the Hollywood bosses are very welcoming to the hot money from the East. It is simply synonymous with stupid people and rich money. They all ask him if he has any plans to continue investing. It is estimated that Gu Zhongyu's image and gold coins in their eyes are also at this moment. no difference.

But this time they were to be disappointed.

No matter what these people say, Gu Zhongyu is right, but as soon as he talks about specific investments, he immediately changes his poker face and says that I need to discuss it with a consultant and lawyer first.

These people are smarter than monkeys, so don't expect to take advantage of them. After all, even the vampires on Wall Street have been tricked by Hollywood.

But there is one person that Gu Zhongyu is quite interested in, and that is Bill McNichol, the current chairman of the Oscar jury.

Frank Gusta also secretly told Gu Zhongyu that he should pay attention to this little old man if he wants to win Oscars in the future.

"This is because you want to convey to the outside world that you value Oscar."

Frank explained to Gu Zhongyu: "If you don't express your importance to the Oscar, then the Academy will subconsciously ignore you. They will not award the statuette to someone who does not pay attention to the award."

After hearing the words of Bill, who has been immersed in Hollywood for many years, the first character that came to Gu Zhongyu's mind was David Fincher.

This well-known personality director has never been a fan of Oscars, and he doesn't like public relations very much. He rarely attends public events before the awards ceremony, and after being favored several times, he all left empty-handed.

According to Frank, David Fincher's defeat was not an upset, but the most normal situation.

"The Invisible Guest" has the potential to win awards. If it works properly, even if it doesn't win the Oscar, it will not be difficult to get nominated. Therefore, it is still necessary to have a good relationship with these jury chairs.

With a smile on his face, Gu Zhongyu clinked glasses with these big guys, exchanged a few words, pushed glasses and changed glasses, and then left after he understood what he meant.

The purpose of everyone coming to the party is not just to socialize and entertain, especially these big guys, who have already been looking around for prey for the night. Naturally, Gu Zhongyu can't continue to be a light bulb.

Suddenly, Shalizi said to him: "Honey, I'm going to the bathroom to touch up my makeup. You can go around by yourself!"

"I'm going too, let's go together!"

Shalizi and Alexandra went to the bathroom hand in hand. After this period of time, the two of them got along like conjoined twins. Sure enough, the comradeship of comrades who carried a gun together was different.

He found that Chen Sicheng was chatting happily with a foreign girl at this time, and he was beaming. He should be bragging about the woman, but this guy seemed to have a strong taste. The woman was wearing heavy makeup and had a high-tech look on her face, and she could actually eat it. Go down?But thinking about some of the photos that Chen Sicheng was caught in later when he went on a research trip, he quickly understood.

Little classmate Bai Lu is much more pragmatic, and she doesn't speak English well. She looks like a child, and no one comes to talk to her. She has been immersed in cooking. After all, it is a celebration party held by Lions Gate Films, and the food is still very delicious.

Gu Zhongyu was standing alone outside the balcony of the hotel lobby holding a wine glass. He had too much time these days, so he had no intention of hunting for women today, and just stared blankly at the busy traffic in the distance.

"Hi! Are you the Chinese singer who sang "Fox Crying"?"

Gu Zhongyu was thinking about it when someone unexpectedly tapped him on the shoulder. When he turned around, he saw that it was Megan Fox.

This girl wore an all-black short, low-cut evening gown with suspenders, which made her skin look particularly fair.

The tight-fitting design also highlights the exquisite and graceful curves, especially the fluffy brown short and medium hair and the lazy makeup, just like the girl who most longs for love in adolescence, even a woman who thinks she is open-minded. , couldn’t help but feel jealous.

A pair of charming sapphire eyes, born with a unique romantic temperament, a face with both classical and wild charm, and a body wrapped under a tight floor-length skirt, which is simply synonymous with beauty and sexiness.

"Yes, I didn't expect that there were so many people at the party, and you discovered it."

"It's not difficult. Although Asian men all look similar, you are still easier to recognize. Hello, my name is Megan Fox. Nice to meet you. My family and I like your songs."

Gu Zhongyu has been recognized as the original singer of "Fox Cry" many times in the United States these days, but this is the first time for a celebrity like Megan Fox.

The two people started chatting on the balcony.

Megan Fox, born in 1986, is known as the sexiest and most beautiful woman in Hollywood after Marilyn Monroe. She once became the top sex goddess in Hollywood because of her role in the science fiction action movie "Transformers" directed by Michael Bay. Michaela attracted the attention of male audiences around the world.

Then, "Transformers 2" was released and also achieved great success.Meghan was nominated for the Breakthrough Performance Award at the 17th MTV Movie Awards for her film.In the same year, Meghan topped the list of the "[-] Sexiest Women in the World" published by FHM magazine.

But the good luck of these girls ended here, because by the time of "Transformers 2", they had already become a superstar and had the temper of a big star. They also publicly commented on Michael Bay, saying that he was like It was Zettler who compared his boss to the infamous Zettler in public.

So she was replaced in the early stages of "Transformers 3", and Steve Spielberg directly stated that he would fire her immediately.

From then on, her acting career basically came to an end. Except for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which she had already negotiated a cooperation with before, any A-level production in Hollywood would never fall on her again.

However, Gu Zhongyu still feels that Megan is the eternal heroine of the "Transformers" series, and the few actresses he is looking for later are simply not as good as her, especially the latest release of "Transformers: Power Warriors", that movie's The heroine's appearance was so terrible that he couldn't tell who was the Transformer!
Megan picked up the red wine glass, took a sip, and said angrily: "That director is such a bitch! I really didn't expect that he would actually kick me out of the crew for such a trivial matter. Sooner or later, I will have to pick up the wine glass to celebrate my victory. The wine glass broke his face!"

Megan Fox has not yet reached the bottom of her acting career. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Age of Mutants" will be released this year, and she is waiting for this movie to make a comeback.

Gu Zhongyu was naturally very cooperative and followed her words. He was not familiar with Michael Bay anyway, so it was very cost-effective to win the favor of a beautiful lady with a few words of curse. Meghan has not yet had plastic surgery, and she is at the peak of her appearance. She was already surprised by the sight. Even with nothing in mind, his eyes felt hot.

However, what does this girl want to do with him?
Did she want to pick me up?
"I really didn't expect that you are an actor, an investor, and even a big star like Shalizi would be willing to participate in your movie. I think you must be a very talented person."

After Megan drank a glass of wine, she finally told the truth coyly. It seemed that she wanted to make friends with Gu Zhongyu. After all, for her now, any movie resources are a life-saving straw.

Gu Zhongyu smiled and didn't point it out, just chatting with her like this. It was impossible to expect him to offend the powerful filmmakers in Hollywood for Megan Fox, but making friends... could be considered.

Anyway, he doesn't intend to take any responsibility, and the girls in China will still have some concerns. The American emperor is not just showing off casually!
At this time, Shalizi and Alexandra also came out talking and laughing, but they found that Gu Zhongyu was chatting with the woman Megan Fox.

Alexandra was a little angry and wanted to step forward to stop her, but Shalizi smiled and whispered in her ear: Haven't you had enough trouble these days?Are you sure you want to arrest him again tonight to watch you make a fool of yourself?
Hearing this, Alexandra blushed and did not choose to step forward again. She just glared at Gu Zhongyu's back twice and went to play with the little sisters.

Shalizi was counting the days on her fingers. She would let Gu Zhongyu out to play tonight. He would be returning to China in two days. During this time, he would be tied up in the room and not allowed to go anywhere. As a sign of breaking the promise tonight. compensation!
Bai Lu was very distressed when she saw that her boss had hooked up with a new guy. Jiang Shuying didn't tell her how foreign girls should record personal information.She doesn’t know English, so she can’t communicate with others!

On the other side, Gu Zhongyu and Megan Fox, who were chatting more and more together, quietly left the party one behind the other, and then got into the same car tacitly.

As soon as they got into the car, Meghan couldn't wait to kiss her.

This was not the first time that Gu Zhongyu had sparred with a foreign girl, but the enthusiasm of Megan, a big girl, had exceeded his imagination. If the location was not really inappropriate, maybe the two of them would have staged a love applause.

Gu Zhongyu stared at Megan's beautiful eyes, lifted her chin with his right hand, and was about to kiss her again, when the latter suddenly smiled: "You have my lip gloss on your lips."

Then Gu Zhongyu pulled out a tissue from the car and wiped it several times: "Is there any more?"

"There are many more." Megan smiled and prepared to do it herself.

"Wait a minute, don't move yet." As she spoke, Megan took back her hand, and her pretty face with delicate makeup came close. It was so close that Gu Zhongyu could even distinguish each of her eyelashes, and he was so close that he could feel the bright red color. The temperature of your lips.

After a long time, Megan smacked her mouth and said that it was gone now.

Gu Zhongyu, who was still thinking about it, immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove away from here. Now he felt inspiration coming like a tide. He had to find a place to turn his inspiration into reality!
