America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM.

Chapter 336 334. If you dare to say no, I will make you pay!

Regarding sexual orientation, it is not static but fluid.

It is normal to change suddenly due to mental shock or tremendous pressure.

I believe some people will have this feeling, that is, watching the love between the same sex is not unpleasant. Of course, it does not mean that you should watch the kind of movies on P station, but a simple love story or a real event.

This situation is more common in relatively open countries such as Europe and the United States.

For example, two of the most famous examples in Hollywood are Ellen Page's gender reassignment change to become big brother Elliot Page.

This girl was hailed as a genius when she debuted, and her acting is full of spirit.

I also had a boyfriend, and at that time I probably had a normal sexual orientation.

Later, he suddenly came out and officially became a lesbian. He then successfully underwent sex reassignment surgery and married his girlfriend.

There is also Kristen Stewart, who is famous for her role in "Twilight". She and the male lead Robert Pattinson had a serious and public relationship for at least 5 years.

Sexual orientation during this period is definitely normal.

But later he came out and married his girlfriend whom he had been dating for more than two years.

Regarding her sudden change, the media and psychologists speculated that it was most likely related to her relationship with Robert Pattinson.

It is estimated that this relationship caused her serious psychological trauma or sequelae over the past five years, leading to a reversal of her sexual orientation.

Putting himself in Judy's current situation, Eric felt that she was a bit like Kristen Stewart.

"Judy, are you upset? This change is a bit scary for me."

"I don't know. I just don't know when I started to feel that you weren't that annoying anymore."

"Don't be ridiculous. This is no small matter. Besides, don't you know my situation? There are six women living in my house."

Judy shook her head: "I don't care. I don't like ordinary men. At least you meet my taste in all aspects except your philandering."

"Didn't your family introduce you to a boyfriend? He comes from a big family, is a young talent, and is a good match for you, but he still doesn't meet your standards?" Eric was a little puzzled.

Judy thought for a moment and said, "Well, if I had just graduated and found a job myself, I could earn $10,000 or $20,000 a month."

"I would think so. The men my family introduced to me are pretty good."

"They all graduated from prestigious universities and have become company executives or government officials at a young age. They may inherit the family business in the future and have a bright future."

"But unfortunately the timing was wrong. At that time, I only had feelings for women."

"But now, when I see them, I just laugh a few times and don't even have the desire to have a deep conversation with them."

"I went home last year to a party and my peers were all together and were so proud of themselves for making a few million dollars."

At this point she rolled her eyes: "Come on! What do you want me to say? Tell them I'm worth over 100 million?"

"Too superficial. The level of those guys can no longer keep up with my needs. It's very painful to have no common language, and it may last for a long time."

"Besides these, I don't need to look like a big star, but at least I need to be healthy and handsome."

"Have you seen the sample clips of Twilight? Henry Cavill, who plays the male lead, is only considered passable if he is 80% of his quality."

"Tsk tsk."

After hearing Judy's request, Eric was a little speechless. He thought that if it couldn't be called a fantasy, it was almost a fantasy.

Most Americans will never earn a million dollars in their lifetime. For a normal middle-class family, it would be quite good if they could save $10,000 or $20,000 after working for a few years.

Good looks are harder to come by than money. Although Henry Cavill has not yet developed a sexy body, his face is not given for nothing.

With 80% of his handsomeness, it is enough to suppress Ryan Reynolds.

What's more, this face is given by your parents, it is natural, if it is ugly, it is ugly.

As for plastic surgery?

Go and ask these big families if there are any men who have had plastic surgery?

I'm rich and powerful, and you still think I'm ugly? Is it difficult for me to find someone younger and prettier? You're trampling on my dignity.

"Ahem. Aren't your demands too high? To want everything is the same as to want nothing."

"Change your thinking. You are very strong, so it is better for you to find a weaker man. Two strong people together can easily cause problems."

"There are so many examples of you arguing over all sorts of little things and then not backing down from each other."

Judy suddenly grabbed his shoulders and said, "So after looking around, you are the only one who meets my requirements."

"You are stronger, possessing wisdom, handsomeness, and wealth. Apart from you, I really can't think of any other person of my age who can conquer me!"

"But I have girlfriends, a lot of them. To be honest, besides the six at home, I have a few more outside."

"It's okay. If there are too many, I can even help you deal with a few."

"what?"

"I can help you deal with them. I'm good with women, you know."

"Wait, but you're not?"

"Just because I can accept men doesn't mean I reject women."

oh
Eric understood. He nodded slowly. "But why does this feel like a transaction? We are like two businessmen discussing a piece of goods."

"Marriage is an emotional transaction, isn't it?"

"I'm asking you a question. Answer it seriously."

"what?"

"Do you have feelings for me?"

Eric hesitated for a moment. “I’ve always considered you a brother, a good friend, someone I could share my most intimate secrets with.”

"I'm not answering the question. I'm asking if you feel anything?"

"I don't know!" Eric exclaimed.

Before he finished speaking, Judy took the initiative to kiss him while he was talking.

After a moment, Judy felt something strange and said with a half-smile: "It seems that the body is much more honest than the mouth."

As she said this she took off her shirt but was stopped by Eric.

"Wait, wait, now is not the time."

"You look down on me? Eric Cooper, in this situation, if you dare to say no, I will make you pay!"

She clenched her fists and said, "When I was in college, I could beat up the four of you. I can still do it now."

Eric hurriedly denied: “No, no, no, I admit that you are hot Judy, but I really have something to do tomorrow.”

"Excuse!"

"Really, I need to see a doctor."

"you are sick?"

"It's not an illness, it's to regulate the body. If you don't believe me, let's go together. He is a very experienced old doctor."

Judy crossed her arms and glanced at his face suspiciously, "Well, you must be lying to me."

...............................................................

The next day came, and Eric went to the factory to take a look.

After the expansion, it can accommodate about 12000 people, but the limit is 15000 people, and it is not allowed to occupy more land. Expanding to coastal cities is the only way.

After reminding them to pay attention to production safety and not to cause accidents, he left the factory and went to MGM Oriental.

Come to the internal cinema and directly participate in the film review of "The Meg".

At the end, the shark was killed by the young Jason Statham and the lights came back on.

"Eric, almost 110 minutes, how do you feel?"

Eric nodded slowly. The movie was indeed shot according to his script. Although there were some deletions and changes in the lines, it was not a big deal.

If it is considered a commercial film, it has already passed the test and is worthy of being shown on the big screen to please the audience.

Of course, commercial films are commercial films, and they do have quite a few problems.

For example, Xu Jinglei, who played the leading female role, did not interfere much in the casting at the time, but judging from the final effect, she was far worse than Li Bingbing.

The two people have different temperaments. Xu Jinglei always looks weak, even though she tries very hard to show her strong side.

This is probably the biggest flaw of the movie. Fortunately, the young Guo Da is even more outstanding. The action scenes are great and the underwater battles are very intense.

It is foreseeable that after its release it will be labeled as a bad movie with illogical logic, but again, it is just a commercial film.

"Well, it's not bad. If the special effects are made more detailed, I think it can be put on the big screen."

Old Han smiled immediately: "Your words give me peace of mind. If there is anything else that needs to be improved, please give me some suggestions."

Eric thought to himself, is it realistic for me to ask you to replace Xu Jinglei and reshoot the film?

He talked about a few insignificant details, but he just said it casually, so others couldn't just listen to it casually, so they quickly took out their notebooks to write it down.

Just kidding, Eric Cooper is an internationally renowned director, whose personal box office is almost reaching 20 billion US dollars, and his words are golden.

"Huang Bo's acting was very good, and his death was very humorous. Although his role was not large, it was a highlight."

"I remember he was recommended by you."

"Yes, when I went to school to promote Transformers, I felt that he was very distinctive and would add some color to the movie."

"I have a good eye for talent. Although this actor doesn't look good, he works very hard. He can be used as a special actor. He can be a petty thief, an illegal vendor, or a gangster. He looks like one if he stands there."

Eric laughed, but if Huang Bo was really trained in this direction, his future might be ruined.

"If you look at it from a broader perspective, his temperament is more like that of a small-time person than a gangster villain, an ordinary person we see anytime and anywhere on the street."

"If there is such a role, why not let Huang Bo give it a try? I think he can do a good job."

"Let's not talk about him anymore, Lao Chen. You've seen the film too. If there's anything that needs to be cut, please tell us immediately and we'll make the changes." Lao Han looked at Chen Ou.

The latter said calmly: "There's no need to edit this film. There's no sensitive area. Just go ahead and show it as is."

"That's what you said."

"I'll make the decision, so you can rest assured!"

After the film review meeting, the director, co-screenwriter and others hurriedly made changes as required, and the three returned to the office to drink tea.

Chen Ou looked at Eric and said, "I'm planning to organize a high-level forum. Are you interested in attending?"

"Forum? Talking about the gap in movies again? No need to bother. We'll just be talking about technology, censorship, and cost. There's not much point."

"Not exactly. The theme is how domestic films can impact the Oscars."

"Ever since Ang Lee won the Oscar for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in 2001, the mainland has always wanted to win a major award of equal weight."

"In 2002, Zhang Yimou made Hero, but unfortunately it only received a nomination for Best Foreign Language Film."

"Last year, we filmed House of Flying Daggers, but it didn't even get a nomination for Best Foreign Language, only a nomination for Best Cinematography."

"In 2003, He Ping filmed Heroes of Heaven and Earth, but he didn't even get a nomination."

"These directors from the mainland are very confused. They don't know how to shoot in order to win the Oscars. Why don't you give them some guidance?"

"I called Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang and others to have a chat."

Eric sighed. He was too lazy to take on the unplanned work.

And does this thing work just by chatting?

If I remember correctly, this year should be the day when the epic bad movie "The Promise" was released, and next year will be the day when the equally bad movie "The Banquet" will be released.

These big directors in mainland China seem to have fallen into a vicious circle of thinking. They believe that the film must be a costume drama and they must tell a story that is so messed up that others cannot understand it.

The obsession with Oscar has made these people obsessed, and they are jealous of Ang Lee to the point of going crazy.

They all wanted to recreate "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but they were all too hasty, only learning the form but abandoning the spirit.

There is no way to save him. Only when he falls down will he wake up.

It was obvious that Eric didn't want to participate, so Lao Han advised: "It won't take too long, it will be over in more than an hour."

"Well, I'll take you to that place in a moment. It'll start at 8 a.m. tomorrow and end at 10 a.m., so it won't delay your journey south."

Since both of them said so, it was not easy to refute them, so Eric reluctantly agreed.

"Okay then, Lao Chen, hurry up and get ready. We'll take care of something."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

After leaving MGM Oriental, we picked up Judy who was shopping for clothes in Wangfujing and drove all the way to the north city.

After several turns, when we got off the car, there was a long alley in front of us.

Even though Eric had been in Yanjing for a long time, he had no idea where he was.

Old Han led the way and finally arrived at a courtyard. In front of him was an old man with a white beard and wearing reading glasses.

He looked to be at least 70 or 80 years old, but he was in good spirits, which was quite consistent with one's impression of an old Chinese doctor.

Lao Han and the other party should be acquaintances, so he asked Eric to sit down and take his pulse.

After a moment, he shook his head slightly and said, "Young man, you are in good health, except for one organ, which is your kidney."

As he said this, he suddenly pressed hard on Eric's index finger.

Eric suddenly felt like he was electrocuted and couldn't help but scream out, which scared Judy who was next to him.

"You are seriously deficient. Fortunately, you are young, exercise regularly, and drink the medicinal wine I prepared."

After a few dry laughs, Eric quickly asked, "Doctor, what should I do? To be honest, I have several wives."

The old Chinese doctor was not surprised. Anyone who could find his place was a spendthrift. He had seen many men with several wives. Anyway, it was not illegal if they did not get a marriage certificate.

He took out a box of pills and wrote down a prescription.

"Take this first, then go to Chinatown to get some medicine according to the prescription. Take one dose every three days for a month."

"I'll also give you a CD with a set of movements. Go home and learn from them. Practice once in the morning and once in the evening."

"But I tell you, these are all external things after all. The key is to be moderate. Otherwise, even the ancient emperors would die of exhaustion, let alone you!"

Eric nodded repeatedly: "I thought I would be given a book, just like a Kung Fu secret book."

The old Chinese doctor rolled his eyes at him and said, "What era are we in now? Do you understand how to keep up with the times?"

"Uh"

Behind him, Judy patted Eric on the shoulder. He could only ask shyly, "Will taking the medicine affect your sexual life?"
