China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 350 The End
In a blink of an eye, it’s mid-December.

The US version of "The Tuner" was finished filming, and the crew held a wrapping party. Wang Shu, Matt Damon, Monica, Kristen and others all attended.

This final banquet is not about sitting around a table and eating together, but the nature of a cocktail party.

When someone was in a hurry, Wang Shu went to the bathroom to pee and suddenly heard the sound of um um ah ah coming from next door.

Wang Shu was not surprised by this.

This kind of thing happens very often at Hollywood drinking parties.

It is even said that many people just like this kind of excitement and are keen to do this kind of thing during the cocktail party.

It’s not necessarily a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, many of them are unspoken rules.

For example, if a young actor participating in a cocktail party wants to obtain resources or get online, he will take the opportunity to actively give hints to some "big guys" in the industry at this time, and then this kind of thing will happen.

This "big boss" is not necessarily a real "big boss", but a relative "big boss".

For example, for a new actress who has nothing to do with the backstage, compared to her, even the assistant director in a small crew is considered a "big boss".

After Wang Shu solved the problem, he returned to the reception and did not bother him.

"Shu." Monica saw Wang Shu standing in front of the window and walked over with a smile to say hello.

"Monica, you are so beautiful today." Wang Shu saw Monica coming and praised her without hesitation.

After the words fell, he added, "I don't mean that you are not beautiful usually."

"She's still pretty as usual."

"This dress is even more beautiful today!"

When Monica heard these words, a happy smile filled her face. She blinked and deliberately teased: "Shu, tell the truth, do you want to sleep with me?"

"." Wang Shu didn't expect Monica to be so direct, which caught him off guard.

"Giggle." Monica couldn't help but laugh happily when she saw this.

Wang Shu looked at Monica, regained his dignity and asked, "Will you go to my apartment for coffee later?"

Although there is no direct answer to this, it still means that I want to sleep with you.

"Hahaha." Of course Monica understood the hidden meaning of Wang Shu's words. She licked her lips and said, "Why go to the apartment where you live? We can go to the bathroom now."

With that said, he came close to Wang Shu's eyes and whispered seductively, "Do you want to go to the bathroom with me?"

Wang Shu was not stupid. Of course he knew that Monica was joking, and then responded with an indifferent look: "If you go, I will go."

"Shu, you can go first, I'll wait for a while and then go over." Monica blinked, "You first and me first."

"No, no, no, you should come first." Wang Shu refused and stated his proposal.

After hearing this, Monica raised her lips and hummed: "Do you want to sleep with me?"

"Monica, if you look more sincere, I will believe you." Wang Shu was not fooled at all.

Monica was not surprised when she heard this, but said with ambiguous eyes: "Then I'll go to the bathroom first?"

"You go ahead." Wang Shu said with a smile.

"Are you coming?" Monica asked with expectant eyes.

Wang Shu didn't know that this was a middle-aged woman teasing him, so he immediately said: "I still like to be in the apartment."

"But what if I prefer to be in the bathroom?" Monica asked with a faint look in her eyes.

"Then you're a pervert." Wang Shu didn't follow her tricks and hit the nail on the head.

"Haha." Monica laughed happily when she heard this, rolled her eyes slightly, and said, "Shu, what should you do if I want to sleep with you?"

"You are welcome to come to my apartment at any time." Wang Shu gave the answer.

Monica is definitely not suitable to be a girlfriend at her age.

But no matter what, the other party is one of the sexiest actresses in the world, and has the title of "ball flower", so it is still feasible to sleep with her.

Of course, Monica is a married woman and should not sleep with her.

But, this is America!

Doing as the Romans do is the most basic form of respect.

What's more, Monica would have divorced in a few years.

Now, it is in the state of "pending divorce".

Although he said this, Wang Shu actually had no special ideas.

Not to mention, he also knew that Monica was joking.

"But I'd rather be in the bathroom." Monica said with a smile.

"There is also a bathroom in the apartment." Wang Shu replied seriously.

Monica's expression shrank when she heard this, and she said, "But I prefer the bathroom here."

As he spoke, he looked back at the crowd of people coming and going, and then said, "What do you think?"

"Say?" Wang Shu responded speechlessly, "Say, can you be more serious?"

"Haha." Monica smiled happily and asked with a wink, "Shu, are you shy?"

"How can you be shy?" Wang Shu continued speechlessly, "I just don't want to talk nonsense to you."

Just as Monica was about to continue teasing Wang Shu, Kristen, Matt Damon and others came over.

Monica then lost the fun of teasing Wang Shu.

"Tree."

Several people said hello to Wang Shu, and Wang Shu responded one by one, and then started chatting with each other.

Later, many Hollywood filmmakers came to chat with Wang Shu, and Wang Shu maintained basic politeness in communicating with them.

After the reception, Wang Shu returned to the apartment.

Also back with him is Christine.

"Shu, are you going back to China next?" Kristen asked while sitting on the sofa and took a sip of water.

"I'll probably go back to China, and most likely I'll come back here when "The Tuner" is about to be released." Wang Shu responded.

Christine was silent for a moment after hearing this, then she changed the subject with a smile on her face and said, "I have accepted a film contract to play the heroine, and I should be able to start filming soon."

Even though Kristen didn’t say the name, Wang Shu also guessed that it was most likely "Twilight".

Since then, "Twilight Girl" has become an instant hit.

"Congratulations!"

Wang Shu congratulated Christine sincerely.

It was impossible for Kristen to know at this moment that she would become one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood with "Twilight" in the future, but Wang Shu knew it all.

"Haha." Christine curled her lips.

She would curl her lips, it was this congratulation, and she sounded a little uncomfortable.

This is because the role of the heroine of "The Twilight Saga" was not originally hers. She was able to get this role because other actresses gave up the drama "The Twilight Saga" and it was her turn. .

In the original timeline, the cast of "The Twilight Saga" initially considered Lily Collins to play Bella Swan. This would have been her first film role, but she chose The Weakness instead.

After first choice actress Lily Collins left, Jennifer Lawrence was also considered for the role, but she ultimately didn't get the part.

However, this did not affect her career as she starred in a total of three movies in 2008.

It can be said that before Kristen Stewart officially joined "The Twilight Saga", the film's heroine selection list had many famous actresses in the future.

It is worth mentioning that one of them is an actress named Sarah Paxton. She made her first movie appearance in the 90s and is considered quite powerful.

As for Kristen, she was ultimately chosen as the heroine of "The Twilight Saga" because she caught the attention of the producers while visiting the set of Adventureland.

She had an "informal audition" there, and the producers were very pleased with her "performance."

Kristen stood out from the competition among many actresses and got the role.

"Twilight" is not just a movie script, but an adaptation of a novel that is popular all over the world.

In 2005, Stephenie Meyer introduced readers to a world where humans, werewolves, and a very special kind of vampire coexist in "The Twilight Saga."

This fantasy world has attracted countless fans around the world.

Because this novel became popular all over the world, the "Twilight" series of movies was adapted to the big screen.

Just like "Harry Potter", the novels became popular and were quickly adapted to the big screen.

Hollywood's first-tier actresses will naturally look down on this kind of movie script adapted from a novel, but Hollywood is not only composed of first-tier actors, there are also many second-tier, third-tier and eighteenth-tier actors.

Among them, there are many actresses with higher qualifications, greater fame, and better acting skills than Christine who have ideas.

Therefore, even if it is a commercial film script that is looked down upon by front-line actors, competition is still fierce.

In the end, it was Christine who got the role.

Seeing that Christine was not very interested, Wang Shu immediately comforted him and said, "Actually, you are very capable, but you just haven't encountered a good opportunity."

"Starting as a heroine in a movie this time may be your chance."

"Perhaps, this time you can become a Hollywood A-list actress with this movie."

Christine has strength in her words. Wang Shu is telling lies.

But what was said later about Kristen becoming a Hollywood A-list actress is true.

Because as long as Kristen accepts the role of the heroine of "Twilight", she will become a first-line actress in Hollywood after "Twilight" is released.

When Kristine heard this, she was happy in her heart, but on the surface she snorted arrogantly: "How can it be so easy? I will be satisfied if I don't get scolded this time."

"If you have the ability, you will definitely become a first-line actress. Even if it's not this time, it will be next time." Wang Shu continued to comfort, "Maybe, it will be this time."

He is a director, and there is still gold in praising an actor's ability.

If it were another actor or someone outside the industry who said this, Kristen would just think it was a lie.

Wang Shu was different. She took the director's affirmation seriously.

"Maybe." Christine opened her mouth arrogantly.

"Believe me, you will definitely become a first-line actress." Wang Shu said seriously.

Seeing that Wang Shu was so serious, Kristen was really flattered. She asked in surprise: "Do you really think so?"

"Can I still lie to you?" Wang Shu asked noncommittally, and then added, "You are beautiful and powerful. Sooner or later you will become a big star in Hollywood."

"What's missing is an opportunity that suits you."

Kristine pouted when she heard this, and then smiled: "Thank you, Shu, you are so kind."

After saying that, he added with a faint look in his eyes, "I still have to go home, and I can't stay here for too long."

This is a hint.

Subsequently
More than an hour later, Wang Shu was worried that Kristen would go home alone, so he went out to see her off.

After getting off the bus at the destination, Kristen took a deep breath and said, "Shu, I hope we can meet again in the future."

These words are not expressing the desire to meet Wang Shu again, but saying that the relationship between the two is just friends, not a deeper ambiguous relationship.

Although they have slept together, they have slept together. It does not mean that they have to be responsible for each other because they have slept together, but it should be separated from the relationship between two people who have slept together.

I slept with it, it was just my inner desire.

Feelings are another matter.

This is very American.

"There will be a chance." Wang Shu understood what Christine meant and smiled back.

"Well, bye." Kristine responded with a sweet smile, waved to Wang Shu, and turned to go home.

Wang Shu watched Christine leave, then took a taxi back to the apartment.

The work in Hollywood came to an end, and no other producers asked Wang Shu to cooperate with him. In addition, he was not responsible for the editing of the movie, so there was no need to stay in Hollywood anymore.

Hollywood is a producer-centric system, and many directors, not just Wang Shu, have the right to edit movies.

For example, when Zack Snyder was filming "Justice League", he did not have editing rights. The main film was edited by the producer.

Then, after "Justice League" was released, it bombed the market, and then the director's cut version of "Justice League" appeared.

Even well-known directors like Director Zha often don't have the editing rights for movies, let alone an Oriental director like Wang Shu who just came to Hollywood, and it is certainly impossible for him to have the editing rights for movies.

Before leaving, Wang Shu treated Gong Li to a meal.

"Are you ready to return to China?" Gong Li looked at Wang Shu and started talking.

Before, Wang Shu called her to ask her out for dinner because he planned to return to China.

"The work here is over. There is no need to stay any longer." Wang Shu said.

"'Terror Cruise' has done well at the box office in North America. In fact, if you wait a little longer, you should have a chance." Gong Li said.

"Terror Cruise" landed in North American theaters. Combining 865 screens and relatively good publicity, the box office on the first day was US$.

This data is actually quite good.

"Terror Cruise" will be released in US theaters on Tuesday, October 10.

For movies that opened on Tuesday in the United States, the first-day box office record was $2785 million achieved by "Transformers".

Moreover, this box office result was not broken until "The Amazing Spider-Man" opened on Tuesday and created a first-day box office result of 3500 million.

For a Chinese-language film to achieve 865W on its first day of filming on Tuesday, it is already quite good.

However, the box office trend has been rising and falling, and many theaters have canceled the film schedule of "Terror Cruise".

One month after its release, it earned US$3120 million at the box office.

This box office result is one of the few Chinese-language films that have come to Hollywood to achieve high box office results in the United States.

But if it were placed in a Hollywood movie, it would be equivalent to box office figures that hit the street.

After learning this box office data, Wang Shu's mood was not depressed, but rather good.

He initially thought it would be around 10 million US dollars at most, but he didn't expect it to exceed 30 million US dollars, which was unexpected.
