Chapter 412: Going to Your Place or My Place?
Taylor Swift searched for Wang Shu's songs on her own but to no avail, so she asked her agent for help, and after great effort she finally found Wang Shu's single.

Songs such as "That Man" and "The Fate of Loving You".

She listened to them one by one, but didn't feel anything was particularly amazing.

"Not a bad creation, it turns out he really can do it!"

Although it's not amazing, it's not bad either, just average.

But if you add in the fact that Wang Shu is a famous director who won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival, the song's ordinariness doesn't seem so ordinary anymore.

For a singer who focuses on the music industry, this level of songwriting is just average.

However, Wang Shu is a director, not a singer.

As a big director who has achieved remarkable results in the film industry, he can also create such a good song.

I can only say, it’s really amazing.

In fact, it is normal that Taylor Swift thinks these songs are ordinary.

Not to mention that she is a European and American singer and cannot understand the meaning of the lyrics of Chinese songs.

For example, songs like "That Man" and "The Fate of Loving You" are all battle songs in idol dramas.

These songs all have one characteristic, which is that they need to be combined with corresponding idol dramas in order to resonate with people.

Listening to it alone, it's really mediocre.

Taylor Swift has never watched the idol drama written, directed and starred by Wang Shu, so she cannot resonate with it and it is impossible for her to think how excellent these songs are.

"At the age of 22, he won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival. Now he has a chance to win an Oscar. He can also compose songs."

"There really is something there!"

Taylor Swift couldn't help but exclaim.

Since her debut, she has been praised as a talented girl because she is a singer-songwriter.

But there are differences among talents.

Compared to Wang Shu, she felt that her so-called genius was not worth mentioning.

However, the fact is, she is a true genius, and Wang Shu just took advantage of being reborn, which has nothing to do with being a genius.

On the other hand, Matt Damon's team fell into deep thought after watching Wang Shu's director's cut of "The Wolf of Wall Street".

"Matt, Wang Shu's editing is very good. Should we continue?" asked the staff member next to Matt Damon.

Since the filming of "The Wolf of Wall Street" was completed, he has been following up on the subsequent editing work.

Although they are still a little bit away from being a finished film, after seeing Wang Shu's director's cut, he couldn't help but feel that even if they finished the film, it might not be as good as Wang Shu's director's cut.

Matt Damon was silent. He thought that the film Wang Shu produced in such a short time was just a perfunctory work, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

He had a feeling that even if he edited the film, it would not be as smooth as Wang Shu's director's cut.

Seeing that Matt didn't say anything, the staff member immediately said, "Wang Shu is the screenwriter and director of this movie. He should be familiar with the plot of this movie, so he was able to edit it into a film in a short time."

"People here need to compare little by little before they can slowly edit it into a film."

“Although the director’s cut is edited according to the director’s ideas, it usually makes the whole movie weird because of the director’s ideas.”

“But Wang Shu is a director who came to Hollywood from China.”

"I think you should know by now that China's film industry is director-centered, and most of its films are director's cuts."

"For example, Wang Shu, except for The Piano Tuner, which was his first film in Hollywood, which was not a director's cut, all his other films were edited by him."

"And judging by Wang Shu's achievements since his debut, his editing skills are not bad."

After listening to this, Matt Damon couldn't help but complain: "Of course I know his editing skills are good, but I didn't expect that he, a Chinese director who just came to Hollywood and didn't understand American culture, could edit "The Wolf of Wall Street" into a film in such a short time."

“And the finished product turned out pretty good.”

“It was totally unexpected.”

The staff member smiled and said, "If Wang Shu didn't have any talent, he wouldn't have won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival at the age of 20, and the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival at the age of 21."

"I came to Hollywood at the age of 21 and filmed The Piano Tuner. At the age of 22, I became a director in the global $5 million box office club."

"The Wolf of Wall Street was released during the financial crisis and is likely to win an Oscar."

"All this shows that Wang Shu is capable."

“Since he has the skills, and The Wolf of Wall Street was written and directed by him, it is not impossible for him to edit the film into a good film in a short period of time.”

Matt Damon nodded and said, "In a few days we should be able to finish editing The Wolf of Wall Street into a film. Let's take a look at it then."

“If Wang Shu’s director’s cut is better, then use his director’s cut.”

Although the staff was certain that Wang Shu's director's cut would win, they still nodded without comment.

After all, the film is only a few days away, and Matt Damon seems to be determined not to give up, so there is no need to say more.

He also knew that if The Wolf of Wall Street was a director's cut, Wang Shu would be in the film basically from beginning to end.

In this way, even if "The Wolf of Wall Street" wins the Academy Award for Best Picture, Matt Damon, as the producer, will always feel that it is a little lacking.

If The Wolf of Wall Street was the version edited by them, there would be no such emotion.

A few days later, Matt Damon's cut was released.

After comparison, I silently chose the director's cut edited by Wang Shu
It’s not that he doesn’t want to use the version he edited, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wang Shu’s director’s cut is better.

Matt Damon was not stubborn and decided to use Wang Shu's director's cut as the feature film.

Now that the feature film has been confirmed and The Wolf of Wall Street has been registered for the Academy Awards, all that’s left is the execution.

It was not only for his own sake to win the award, but also for Wang Shu.

Because of this, Wang Shu had already made an agreement with Matt Damon before filming "The Wolf of Wall Street".

Wang Shu has no connections in Hollywood, so even if he wanted to make it work, he couldn't find a good way.

Matt Damon produced and starred in this movie just to win awards, so he will naturally work hard.

Wang Shu then borrowed his connections and worked together.

Compared to Matt Damon's efforts to win the Academy Award for Best Actor and Best Picture, Wang Shu's only goal is the Academy Award for Best Director.

As for small awards such as Best Screenplay, they are dispensable for him who has already won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival.

There is no need to work so hard for this small prize.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-November and "Twilight" was about to premiere in North America. Kristen gave Wang Shu some movie tickets and told him that he could go to watch the movie when he had time.

As for Kristen, the movie was premiering, and she had a lot of activities and a tight schedule, so she couldn't go to the cinema with Wang Shu. Wang Shu looked at the movie tickets in his hand and called Stone Sister: "Emma, ​​Kristen gave me some tickets for Twilight. Do you want to go to the movie together?"

Emma Stone also knew that Kristen and Wang Shu had worked together in the movie "The Tuner", and then asked: "She gave you the movie ticket, didn't you go with her?"

When Wang Shu said this, Stone subconsciously thought that Christine wanted to ask Wang Shu out, and she was "sensible" and didn't want to be a light bulb.

Wang Shu smiled and said, "She's been very busy lately, so she just gave me a few movie tickets."

"Is that so?" Shitou suddenly realized, and then said excitedly, "Since I have the movie ticket, I might as well watch it."

"Haha." Wang Shu laughed twice, then agreed on a place to meet.

"Shu." Seeing Wang Shu coming from afar, Emmastone waved to him.

"Emma." Wang Shu saw Sister Shitou waving at him and walked over quickly.

"Let's go, let's go to the cinema." Emma Stone grabbed Wang Shu's arm and walked inside.

Wang Shu did not comment and followed Emma Stone's footsteps silently.

Stone Sister took Wang Shu to buy some popcorn and drinks, and then walked into the theater.

The movie "Twilight" mainly tells the story of a handsome young man named Edward who lived in a place called Forks in the United States.

This guy's whereabouts are mysterious and he doesn't fight with the world. His family is just as low-key and mysterious. The reason is that he is a vampire who will never age or die.

Edward was born in the first year of the 20th century. Since he grew into a 1918-year-old boy in , he has never aged and has always maintained a young and handsome appearance.

Time flies, and after nearly a hundred years, he no longer relies on sucking human blood for a living, because Edward and his family, who are also vampires, are vegetarians and only suck the blood of animals.

The seventeen-year-old heroine Isabella has depended on her mother since she was a child. Because her parents' relationship broke down, her mother took her to another city.

But when she grew up, her mother decided to remarry, and because her stepfather was a baseball player and needed to travel back and forth, Isabella returned to her father Charlie in Fox.

At school, she met a boy named Edward and was quickly attracted by his charm and gradually fell in love with him.

Although Edward also liked Isabella, he knew very well that a vampire could not live normally with humans.

But he couldn't forget Isabella, nor could he bear to go far away and cut off contact with her.

At this time, another group of vampires that sucked human blood came here and accidentally targeted Isabella. Edward protected Isabella and their relationship developed steadily.
In short, it is a melodramatic youth idol film disguised as a vampire.

However, the young people of this era only like melodrama.

Especially the bloody plots about vampires and humans are extremely popular among young people.

It's just like South Korea's melodramatic idol dramas, which are very popular in this era and the Korean wave is sweeping the world.

It is precisely because of these characteristics that "Twilight" has grossed $3.93 million worldwide.

With a production cost of 3700 million US dollars and a global box office of 3.93 million US dollars, it increased tenfold.

Then, five series of movies were released in one go, which earned a total box office revenue of 5 billion US dollars worldwide.

So much money.

For the series of films based on this IP, except for the first one which received decent reviews, the subsequent scripts all received rave reviews.

But even so, it still achieved a good total box office.

The reasoning behind this is just like the melodramatic Korean drama.

Many people will complain about the stupidity of Korean dramas when watching them, however, many people watch them while making complaints.

In short, it's the top.

The same is true for "Twilight", a fighter among the many bad movies.

Many people complain that the series based on this IP are melodramatic, watered-down, and bad, but that doesn't stop them from contributing to the box office while complaining.

Wang Shu looked at Christine on the screen. If she hadn't given him the movie ticket and he had nothing to do, he really wouldn't have come to the cinema.

However, I have to admit that 17-year-old Kristen is really beautiful.

He also heard that Kristen was only 17 years old when she filmed the movie and was a minor.

"Twilight" director Catherine Hardaway asked the lead actor Robert to swear on the Bible to concentrate on playing the role well on the set and not to have other inappropriate thoughts.

In Hollywood, it's easy for sparks to fly when male and female actors work together in the same movie.

One-night stands and so on are everywhere.

Therefore, Catherine Hardaway needs to put an end to such things from happening.

Because Kristen is a minor, if something happened between her and the lead actor Robert, it would likely cause the crew to get into trouble.

Of course, Catherine Hardaway just asked that nothing should happen during the filming of the movie.

After that, no matter.

For example, when Wang Shu had sex with Christine, she was also still a minor.

But. This was in private, not during work.

In addition, the age difference between Wang Shu and Christine is within a safe range, so as long as Christine does not go to the police afterwards, there will generally be no problem.

Although Christine had sex with Wang Shu at the age of 17, it was not her first time.

Not only is it not the first time, she also has a boyfriend.
Soon, the movie ended and the two walked out of the cinema.

Sister Stone turned around and asked, "How was the movie?"

"Not bad." Wang Shu responded.

Generally speaking, when he reviews other directors' movies, he would say it's just okay, except for some really bad ones.

Sister Stone was not satisfied with this smooth answer and immediately rolled her eyes at him.

Wang Shu smiled and changed the subject: "It's still early, would you like to drink something?"

Sister Shitou hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wang Shu and said with a smile: "Go to your place or to my place?"

Wang Shu was stunned when he heard this. He asked Sister Shitou if she wanted to drink something. He was really just asking her if she wanted to drink something before going home.

But Stone's answer implies other meanings.

Wang Shu quickly came to his senses and said with a smile: "My apartment is closer to here, let's go to my place."

"Okay." Sister Shitou agreed with a smile.

The two returned to the apartment and did have a few drinks.

However, after a few drinks, only dry wood and raging fire were left.
