China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 414 I Can't Accept It For Now

Anna Faris was just looking for a topic to start a conversation with Wang Shu, and she was not really curious about how long Wang Shu had been in the United States.

She approached Wang Shu and smiled while breathing out hot air: "How many months has it been? That's not too short."

Then he added, "I have worked with Director Li An before. He is also a Chinese film director like you."

"I know, Brokeback Mountain. I've seen the movie and you acted very well in it." Wang Shu continued with a smile.

"Brokeback Mountain" is the film for which Li An won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival and the Best Director Award at the Academy Awards.

Anna Faris is the supporting actress.

Anna Faris smiled and said, "Director Li An mentioned you when we were on the set, saying that you are the most talented new director in Chinese films."

"I heard him speak so seriously at the time, and I couldn't help but become curious."

"Now it seems that what Director Li An said was absolutely correct."

This is complete nonsense, just listen to it.

"Brokeback Mountain" started filming in June 2004. At that time, Wang Shu had just finished "Buried" and had not yet entered the film industry. Not to mention that Li An praised him highly during the filming of "Brokeback Mountain".

Anna Faris obviously didn't know much about Wang Shu's debut time and past, which led to this joke.

Wang Shu saw through it but didn't say anything. He smiled and said, "Director Li An is also a very talented director. All the movies he made are excellent."

Anna Faris smiled and said with a squinting look, "Director Li An's art films are indeed excellent, but his achievements in making commercial films are probably not as good as yours."

It is well known in Hollywood that Li An is not good at making commercial films.

It's not that anyone is bashing him, but he really messed up making commercial films.

This guy is good at making art films, but he is really not good at making commercial films.

However, this is a common problem among many art film directors.

Too many art film directors are unable to make commercial films.

Similarly, too many commercial film directors are unable to make art films.

There are very few directors who can make both art films and commercial films.

And Wang Shu is just one of those rare ones.

It is also because of this that he is favored by many actresses.

This favor does not mean that he likes Wang Shu.

Instead, he wanted to collaborate with Wang Shu to star in the film and television works directed by him.

Combined with the prevailing trend in the entertainment industry, some actors began to throw themselves into the arms of Wang Shu and seduce him.

This embrace and seduction is not Wang Shushuai's flirting, love at first sight, etc.

He simply wanted to achieve his career goals through Wang Shu.

In short, it is interests that motivate people, not the fact that Wang Shu is loved by everyone and is carried by every car.

Wang Shu's charm has never come from his appearance.

Although, he is quite handsome.

But there are a lot of handsome guys in the entertainment industry, so he doesn't have any advantages.

His charm and advantage lies in his status as a talented, accomplished and capable director.

This identity naturally has infinite charm and temptation for actors.

It can be said that if Wang Shu was not such a great director, he would not be favored by many actors in the entertainment industry.

Anna Faris approached Wang Shu to talk because she wanted to get in touch with Wang Shu and perhaps have the opportunity to star in one of his movies in the future.

If it is some small director, it doesn’t matter to some actors whether they can participate in the performance or not, so they will not care about making friends with them.

But Wang Shu is different. He is an accomplished and talented director.

For many actors, in theory, starring in his movies would bring certain benefits, more or less.

Also care about socializing.

It is true that in Hollywood, the average director does not have the power to choose the casting.

But, this is just an ordinary director after all.

When an ordinary director makes a successful movie and then plans to make another movie, although he does not have the right to cast the male and female protagonists, he can recommend candidates for supporting roles.

And when an ordinary director becomes a big director, he can decide the actors for the entire crew.

For example, when Li An was filming "Brokeback Mountain", Anne Hathaway went for an audition.

It was Li An's decision that gave Anne Hathaway the opportunity to star in this movie.

It was also because of her role in this film, which won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival and the Best Director Award at the Academy Awards, that Anne Hathaway's acting career was opened up.

Before this, Anne Hathaway had always been limited to playing silly and innocent roles.

This shows that just because Wang Shu did not have the right to choose the actors when filming "The Piano Tuner" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" does not mean that he will not have this right later.

Especially since "The Piano Tuner" has grossed $5 million worldwide, this achievement shows that Wang Shu will definitely have certain casting rights.

If "The Wolf of Wall Street" can win a big award for Wang Shu at the Academy Awards, then this proportion can continue to expand.

By then, it is not impossible for him to choose the male and female protagonists.

"Haha." Wang Shu smiled and said, "Director Li An is very talented. There are many things I can learn from him."

Li An is a senior director and a Chinese-language film director who has won the Academy Award for Best Director. Wang Shu doesn't want Anna Faris's words to spread and turn into the rhythm that he does not take Li An seriously.

And this rhythm is not only in Hollywood. Because Li An is a Chinese-language film director, the rhythm is also happening in China.

So, he didn't respond to Anna Faris's words and gave a polite reply.

Anna Faris took a sip of the wine in her glass and said with a silky look in her eyes: "Director Li An is indeed very talented, but I think you are more talented."

After saying that, she leaned close to Wang Shu's body, opened her lips, exhaled hot air, and said with her beautiful eyes, "And she is very charming."

As the popular American actress spoke, she stretched out her fingers and teased Wang Shu's chest.

Anna Faris met Ben Indra in 1999.

In 2004, the two got married.

In 2007, the two divorced due to "irreconcilable differences".

The marriage ended with Anna Faris paying Ben Indra $90 in divorce settlement
This "irreconcilable contradiction" is that Anna Faris met Chris Pratt, then filed for divorce from Ben Indra and was with Chris Pratt.

And Chris Pratt is the male protagonist of "Guardians of the Galaxy", Star-Lord.

In the original timeline, Anna Faris and Star-Lord's marriage did not last long. They got married in 2009 and divorced in 2017.

As for her and Stone, they worked together on the sexually suggestive movie "School Bunny Girl".

In terms of status, Anna Faris is several levels higher than Stone at this stage.

Of course, in the future, Stone Sister will naturally be a bigger star than Anna Faris. Anna Faris saw Wang Shu was embarrassed by her teasing and couldn't help laughing.

She didn't really have any intention of having sex, but was just teasing Wang Shu under the influence of alcohol.

Of course, it's not impossible if the teasing is too much and something happens.

It is now the end of November 2008. At this point in time, Anna Faris and Star-Lord are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

The two will get engaged at the end of January next year and then complete the wedding in July.

But this is America, and in Hollywood, there are a lot of people who still play around even after marriage, not to mention that Anna Faris and Star-Lord are just boyfriend and girlfriend, so there is not much restraint.

Under the influence of alcohol, if Wang Shu could make Anna Faris happy, something would really happen.

Wang Shu shook his head. He had attended several parties after coming to Hollywood, and every time he saw some women behaving wildly under the influence of alcohol.

If something happens, it happens, it doesn't matter.

If it didn’t happen, it didn’t happen. It doesn’t matter.

As if this is a very common thing in life.

Anna Faris noticed Wang Shu's expression, and then reached out to touch his chest, and asked seductively, "What? You don't dare?"

Wang Shu was just about to let Anna Faris know that this was playing with fire, when he suddenly saw Stone Sister in the distance looking intently at this place, and then he took a step back and said, "Anna, you must have drunk too much."

Anna Faris was stunned when she saw this. She was confident in her charm and did not expect Wang Shu to refuse. She curled her lips and asked disdainfully, "Are you still a man?"

She was indeed drunk, and she was talking without thinking, and there was also some anger in her words.

"Of course I am a man." Wang Shu replied with a smile, and then added, "It's just that you must have drunk too much."

"When I came here, I heard that you were going to get engaged in two months, so it's better not to do this."

"What?" Anna Faris asked back without hesitation.

Seeing that Wang Shu didn't answer, he continued, "It is precisely because we are about to get engaged that we need to do some things before the engagement that we shouldn't do after the engagement. We can't do them after the engagement."

This statement, coming from a Hollywood actress, does have some twisted logic.

It's just that Anna Faris got together with Star-Lord while her marriage was still going on.

Therefore, her words, which were somewhat perverse, were completely nonsense.

Being engaged, married or not does not restrict her.

"Haha." Wang Shu did not answer her question, but said, "Anna, the fact is that you drank too much."

Anna Faris was a little drunk at this moment, biting her lip and said, "Isn't it bad to drink too much? Only when you drink too much will you men have a chance."

"If you were sober, where would you stand a chance?"

This statement also makes sense.

Alcohol can numb the nerves and amplify people's desires in some sexually suggestive situations, and then they can have sex when they get excited.

If you don't drink alcohol, your brain remains clear and you can restrain yourself to a certain extent.

For example, Wang Shu.

It was because he remained sober that he did not let his lower body decide for his brain to drag Anna Faris to a corner to discuss the script.

It is undeniable that Wang Shu and Anna Faris met for the first time.

However, in America, it is very common for people to have sex under the influence of alcohol when they first meet.

A large number of Hollywood movie stars or American singers and artists have revealed this experience on the show.

There are also many examples where people have sex with each other tonight and don't remember who the other person is when they wake up tomorrow.

This kind of thing is too common in Hollywood or in the American entertainment industry.

Looking at this from the perspective of mainland China, many people would find it unbelievable, but this is part of daily life in the American entertainment industry.

For example, Justin Bieber is a very experienced guy. Except for not talking to Madonna about his ideals in life, he has tried all kinds of other tricks.

Moreover, he admitted it himself.

In a group, outdoors, in the toilet, in front of friends, at a party, secretly on a tour bus, at a party with someone you meet for the first time, fucking a fan.
There is nothing he hasn't tried as long as it is conceivable.

Moreover, he is not a minority. Many people in the American entertainment industry have similar experiences and belong to the majority.

White lotus is extremely rare.

It is said that art comes from life. Messy private life relationships often appear in European and American film and television works, which are the inspiration from daily life.

Wang Shu shook his head and said, "Anna, it seems you are really drunk."

"He's not a man, just like the Chinese in America, timid and cowardly." Anna Faris curled her lips in disdain when she heard this.

Although Wang Shu was quite unhappy with this, he couldn't refute it.

A big reason why Chinese Americans have fallen to the bottom of the contempt chain is that they are "law-abiding."

Obeying the law means that you are easy to bully, and if you are easy to bully, then bully more.

Wang Shu was so stimulated that he really wanted to let Anna Faris taste the power of Wang Lao Er, but when he glanced at Stone Sister not far away, he suppressed the idea.

He still has a bottom line after all.

I was invited to this party by Stone Sister. How could I make such advances with other women in front of Stone Sister after I arrived?
Anna Faris noticed his action. She subconsciously looked back and caught a glimpse of Stone not far away. Suddenly she realized something.

I thought to myself, no wonder Wang Shu hadn't taken any action, it turned out there was a reason for it.

Anna Faris had an idea, and under the influence of alcohol, the more she saw this, the more she wanted to further hook up with Wang Shu.

Then she licked her lips towards Wang Shu, stretched out her fingers to draw small circles on Wang Shu's chest, and said with a sly look in her eyes: "What? Are you worried that Emma will misunderstand?"

After that, he asked curiously, "Are you guys boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Then, with a gloomy look in her eyes, she said, "I know Emma has a boyfriend."

"Isn't her boyfriend you?"

Anna Faris was aware that Wang Shu was brought up by Stone, and so she made such a joke.

"Uh, you misunderstood. Emma and I are just friends." Wang Shu heard this and quickly explained.

"Really? You are not lying?" Anna Faris used her own experience to illustrate Wang Shu's point, with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Why would I lie to you?" Wang Shu shrugged.

"Haha." Anna Faris smiled, and then asked a soul-searching question, "Then what are you worried about?"

Wang Shu had no choice but to say, "Anna, to be honest, in my country, people are quite conservative about this kind of thing."

"I'm not worried about anything, but I just can't accept it for the time being."

After hearing Wang Shu's words, Anna Faris was greatly surprised and looked at Wang Shu with some disbelief.

At the same time, interest grew.
