China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 558 Cool

If Wang Shu approached Industrial Light & Magic as a domestic film and television company, he would definitely be ripped off by the lion's mouth.

On the contrary, if Warner and Fox come forward, a suitable price can be negotiated.

After all, Warner and Fox are also among the producers, and they already have intersections with Industrial Light & Magic, so they will naturally not sit idly by and watch the post-production special effects production of the movie "Pacific Rim" being slaughtered.

In fact, this is also the reason why Wang Shu’s co-production films allowed Warner and Fox to participate.

Wang Shu knew that in the original timeline, Warner Bros. was one of the producers and distributors of Pacific Rim, and its post-production special effects were also originally produced by Industrial Light & Magic.

It is still the same today, just a few years earlier.

With heated discussions inside and outside the circle, many people now know that Wang Shu will prepare the first monster movie in China.

There was also heated discussion about who could perform.

Some people guessed it was Chen Long, some guessed it was Jet Li, and some guessed it was a combination of Chen Long and Jet Li like in "The Forbidden Kingdom".

This shows that many people are still clear about the market.

As a co-production, Pacific Rim would have been difficult to succeed in overseas markets without Chen Long and Jet Li, unless it starred well-known European and American actors.

With these two people, the minimum is guaranteed.

For example, the terrible movie "Legend of White Snake" starring Jet Li sold 2000 million US dollars overseas just because of Jet Li.

The reason why it can be sold at this price is all thanks to the three-character name "Jet Li".

And Chen Long is even better.

"Wang Shu's co-production is a monster movie?" Chen Kaige turned and looked at Chen Hong.

"Well, I heard it's the first monster movie in China." Chen Hong replied calmly.

"Ha." Chen Kaige sneered, "China's first monster movie? Is he worthy of it?"

Glancing at Chen Hong who didn't respond, he said coldly, "We already had monster movies in our country more than ten or twenty years ago, it's just that you haven't seen them."

"Besides, monster movies are not uncommon. There are plenty of them in Hollywood."

“Did you know that Hollywood is a full-category movie?”

“There are all kinds of films.”

Chen Hong heard this and said suddenly: "Wang Shu is now a Hollywood director."

These words made Chen Kaige's tone stagnant.

I just think Wang Shu is a really annoying person.

If Wang Shu had not appeared, he would have been the number one director in China.

Now, not only has his limelight been overshadowed, but he has also lost face several times.

It's really hateful!

It is undeniable that for the general public, the number one domestic entertainment director is Zhang Yimou, the national director who has won many of the three major European film awards and directed the Olympic Games.

However, Chen Kaige does not think so.

He was holding the Cannes Palme d'Or, an honor higher than the awards Zhang Yimou won at the Berlin and Venice Film Festivals.

Therefore, in terms of the level of awards and honors he has received, he is the number one director in the domestic entertainment industry.

And, no one can compare with him.

Chen Kaige had always looked down on Zhang Yimou and was just hiding his inner thoughts before he won the award.

After winning the Palme d'Or, he stopped pretending, came out and looked down on everyone.

In his opinion, although Zhang Yimou was famous, he was far inferior to him.

Others are not worth mentioning.

He has always regarded himself as the number one director in mainland China.

Although he didn't say it, he thought so in his heart, and his arrogant look also showed this reaction.

Wang Shu came from a humble background, and he looked down on others from the bottom of his heart.

Deep down, he believed that Wang Shu was not on the same level as him.

"He's a Hollywood director. He was criticized for winning the Oscar. I heard that the Academy didn't want to give him the award at all. But then the global financial crisis happened and the calls for him to win were so loud that they gave it to him," Chen Kaige said sarcastically.

Chen Hong also heard this and replied with a smile: "No matter what, he won the Academy Award for Best Director."

"Now he is planning to shoot another Life of Pi, and I heard he will try to win an Oscar early next year."

"Oh, I guarantee he won't win an Oscar next year." Chen Kaige said with disdain.

"Are you so sure?" Chen Hong turned around and looked at him.

"Of course!" Chen Kaige answered confidently, and then added, "Do you think it's so easy to win an Oscar?"

"I told you before that the Oscars seem fair and just, but they are just well packaged."

“Whether you can win an award or not, the most important thing is public relations and qualifications.”

"If you have enough qualifications and good public relations, you can win the award."

"When someone with sufficient experience and good public relations wins an award, it usually indicates that the corresponding work is not bad either."

“This way, it looks very authoritative.”

He paused here and continued, "Wang Shu is a director who came to Hollywood from mainland China. He has no experience and cannot compare to local Hollywood directors in terms of public relations. In addition, there is the political correctness of the United States, etc."

“It’s impossible for the miracle of The Wolf of Wall Street winning an award to happen again.”

"So, there is a 100% chance that he will not win an Oscar next year."

These words are very logical and indeed make sense.

However, Chen Hong has confidence in Wang Shu and always feels that Wang Shu can turn the impossible into possible.

It's like, normal people definitely can't last as long as Wang Shu,
But Wang Shu just breaks the rules and is gifted.

Thinking of this, Chen Hong suddenly felt itchy.

It doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen it.

But since I met
As long as I haven't seen each other for a while, I will start to feel itchy.

Would love to try it again.

Under normal circumstances, unless they are taking drugs, no one is that strong.

And Wang Shu was so strong that he felt it might be his golden finger.

In his previous life, when he was a famous online director, he had read some online novels, and many people who were reborn had golden fingers.

Some of them have systems, and some of them have special abilities.

But he has nothing, nothing, but a strong body.

Maybe this is his golden finger.

To be honest, with such a golden finger, he even thought about going to Japan to develop.

I went to Japan to develop my career not to discuss my life ideals with my teachers.

Instead, it allows people all over the world to know his strength and be amazed by it.

For example, if Dong Ge knew about him because of this, he would not only be amazed, but also feel self-deprecating and inferior.

This is because he only has the strength of One East.

"We'll know whether we can win the award at the beginning of next year," Chen Hong continued.

"Haha." Chen Kaige sneered, "There's no need to wait until next year. We can already tell this year that he won't win the award."

"If he can't win the award, then why would Fox choose him to work with him?" Chen Hong felt unhappy when she saw Chen Kaige looking down on Wang Shu.

I really want to point at Chen Kaige's nose and say coldly that as a senior in the industry, how could he target a young new director like this?

How could a Palme d'Or-winning director be so petty?
Can’t you just let Shushu go?
Did Shushu provoke you?

Is it used like this?

Moreover, you know that Shushu always maintains respect for you, Director Chen, even in front of her.

The results of it?
Director Chen, you are so petty!
Shushu, how pitiful.

"Ha." Chen Kaige sneered, "Why can't Fox ask him to make a movie?"

"I said he couldn't win the award, but I didn't say Fox couldn't win the award." "You have to know that Hollywood is producer-centric, not director-centric."

Chen Hong opened her mouth, but found it difficult to refute for a moment.

Because what Chen Kaige said is correct, Hollywood is a producer-centered system, Wang Shu does not have enough qualifications, and he is from the mainland, so he cannot win an award.

It doesn’t mean that the producer can’t win an award.

It also doesn’t mean that the actors can’t win awards.

It doesn’t mean that the various departments of the crew can’t win awards.

When Chen Kaige saw that Chen Hong stopped talking, the corners of his mouth curled up.

He won this round of argument.

Not only did they win a huge victory, but they also left Chen Hong speechless.

Cool!
Chen Hong returned to the room silently. Chen Kaige thought that she didn't want to stay here because she was embarrassed, and the smile on her face became even wider.

Cool!
However, as soon as Chen Hong returned to the room, she took out her cell phone and sent a text message to Wang Shu.

"The casting has started, right? Who have you chosen?" Chen Hong.

"Today is just the preliminary round. I won't be here. I will host the audition only when we enter the second round." Wang Shu.

"So, it hasn't been decided yet who will play the role?" Chen Hong.

"Yes." Wang Shu replied.

Then he replied: "Why? Do you want to act?"

Of course Chen Hong wanted to perform, but she couldn’t.

She replied: “No, I’m just asking.”

When Wang Shu saw this text message, he knew what was going on and complained: You want to chat with me, right?

In fact, domestic entertainment has always been the same, whether it was more than ten or twenty years ago or now.

Grandma Liu Xiaoqin wrote in her autobiography that it is impossible for couples to be together for several months on a film without any problems. She knew of many couples who were just having sex for real, but for others, it was over after the filming.

She was the only one who didn't play, so she stood out.

Not only that, another actress of the same generation also said that the actress in her dormitory had an unclear relationship with the photographer of the crew.

Then, the actresses in her dormitory were photographed very beautifully in the film and television works, but she was not like that and was photographed as a bumpkin.

Grandma Liu told everyone through her autobiography that the entertainment industry was like that even in her era.

Moreover, because of her era, both men and women had concerns, so it was just a fleeting romance.

Another actress also explained through her experience why photographers are able to hook up with many beautiful stars.

From this we can see that whether it is the last era or the current era, the entertainment industry has always been like this.

Because the entertainment industry can corrupt a person's mind, and because everyone has selfish desires and needs, anyone who is not firm in their heart will be corrupted.

It is said that opportunities always come to those who are prepared.

Therefore, if you are not corrupt, it will be difficult to get opportunities.

Under this cause and effect relationship, the entertainment industry will inevitably corrupt people's minds.

Many people appear to be serious on the surface, but they are actually just pretending to be serious.

Wang Shu replied pretentiously: "Alas, I thought you had decided on it and came to tell me about the performance. I was so excited for nothing."

It would be a waste not to do this kind of behavior which can satisfy the other person's emotional value by just clicking the keyboard and does not require any effort on your part.

When Chen Hong saw this message, she felt funny and touched, and replied: "I've already told you I can't participate, so you should choose the actor carefully."

"Alas, but you are the only heroine in my mind." Wang Shu continued to respond with teasing words.

This statement has a double meaning. It indicates that she is the only movie heroine in Wang Shu's heart, and it also means that she is the only woman in Wang Shu's heart.

Chen Hong knew that Wang Shu often said these double entendres, so she replied, "You are talking nonsense again."

She heard these words and was happy in her heart, but she needed to show on the surface that the two of them were not suitable for each other and at the same time think about Wang Shu.

"I miss you." Wang Shu replied.

"Yeah." Chen Hong replied.

"I really miss you." Wang Shu.

"Yeah." Chen Hong.

"Take a photo and send it to me." Wang Shu.

It’s not that Wang Shu wanted to send this text message, but from his standpoint and perspective, he should send this text message.

As a pure boy who has never been in a relationship, has talked about his life ideals with Chen Hong, and has tasted the sweetness of love, he will inevitably miss you when the time comes.

If it's not like this, something's wrong.

And the fact that I miss you cannot be expressed simply by replying a few words, it requires some other methods.

For example, the fact that Wang Shu is now asking Chen Hong to send photos is a manifestation of his desire to get more.

As long as he shows that he is enjoying the taste, he must be missing you.

As a person who has been through this, Chen Hong knows very well that as long as a man is controlled by his lower body, he will be in trouble.

"No shooting." Chen Hong replied.

"Just take a picture, no need to show your face." Wang Shu sent a text message to discuss the matter.

Sending photos via text messages is called MMS.

Therefore, even without the assistance of instant messaging software such as WeChat, sending photos to each other is still a way of communication.

As for Wang Shu, he didn't expect Chen Hong to reply to his MMS with pictures. He just used this method to show that he missed Chen Hong.

If Chen Hong really sends photos, it's not a problem
"No, no, no." Chen Hong.

"I want to see it." Wang Shu.

"What's so good about it if you don't even show your face?" Chen Hong.

"Then take photos showing your face." Wang Shu.

"No shooting." Chen Hong.

"Take a picture." Wang Shu.

"No." Chen Hong.

"I miss you." Wang Shu.

"Yeah." Chen Hong.

"So, take a photo and send it to me." Wang Shu.

"No." Chen Hong.

"I'm angry." Wang Shu.

"You give birth." Chen Hong.

The two of them argued for a long time, and Wang Shu actually received a MMS, which was sent by Chen Hong.

When I clicked on it, there was only a photo of legs wearing pants, nothing else.

This is boring.

Just as he was secretly complaining, his phone received another MMS.

When I clicked on it, I saw that it was a photo of a woman with her top lifted up, revealing her bra faintly.

The bra is purple and seems to be a lace style.

Late at night, Mei Ting appeared in Wang Shu's villa again.

Still dressed beautifully and sexy.

She leaned close to Wang Shu's ear and whispered, "I took the medicine, you can do it."

When Wang Shu heard this, he didn't show any emotion on the surface, but he was a little hesitant in his heart.

It’s not that he doesn’t even have trust between people, but that Mei Ting may not have told the truth.

If this continues, Mei Ting will come to him with a bulging belly in a few months.
