China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 585 Don't be in a hurry, drive slowly

Shu Qi happened to see the expressions of the two people, and said helplessly: "Well, I heard them say this at the dinner party of Huayi President Wang before."

"They say that Wang's films are not new in Hollywood, but they are eye-catching in China."

"This eye-opening experience naturally fostered the audience's anticipation. In addition, the fact that there were other domestic directors' works for comparison further increased the audience's anticipation for Director Wang's film."

“These expectations will then be reflected in the box office of the films he directs.”

“By and large, it’s just word of mouth.”

"Now Director Wang is not only an Oscar-winning director, but has also proven his prowess in the commercial film industry."

"Although he has only been in the industry for four or five years, his high output and ability to ensure the quality of his films have earned him a reputation that surpasses that of famous directors such as Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang."

"So now, the name Wang Shu not only has the same box office appeal as well-known directors like Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, but even surpasses them."

"In conclusion, Director Wang is really amazing."

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Xun again and smiled, "So, Xun'er, you must take my words about recommending me to Director Wang seriously."

"Boss Wang and his friends said that Director Wang's style is more Hollywood-like, so Director Wang can make it in Hollywood."

"In my opinion, since Director Wang can make it in Hollywood, doesn't that mean that people like us have a chance to get a chance to enter the Hollywood stage through Director Wang?"

Among the three, only Chen Kun graduated from Beijing Film Academy.

Although Beijing Film Academy is a first-class university, it is an art school and does not have high requirements for academic performance.

As for Zhou Xun and Shu Qi, their academic performance can be ignored.

Therefore, although these three people are well-known actors in the circle, in fact, every one of them is a poor student, and they have no knowledge of concepts such as quantum mechanics.

A well-known figure in the domestic entertainment industry once said, if you study well, who would go to film school?
Who would still be an actor?
Isn't it because you are not good at studying and have high aspirations that you try to squeeze into this circle?

This statement is so true that many people cannot refute it.

After hearing Shu Qi's last words, Zhou Xun could only respond, "Don't worry, I'll mention it to her as long as I have a chance."

Upon hearing this, Shu Qi immediately smiled with satisfaction.

However, Zhou Xun also had her own little thoughts. Although she agreed verbally, it was up to her to decide whether or not to mention Shu Qi in Wang Shu's ear and when to mention Shu Qi.

To be honest, if she was to recommend Chen Kun to Wang Shu, she would do it with all her might.

It’s not that she has any special feelings towards Chen Kun, but that Chen Kun is an actor.

Recommending Chen Kun to Wang Shu could not only do her good friend Chen Kun a favor, but also had no impact on her own interests.

Shu Qi is different.

As both are actresses, Shu Qi has a higher status on the international stage.

Recommending Shu Qi to Wang Shu would undoubtedly add a strong competitor to himself.

Chen Kun seemed to see that Zhou Xun was in a difficult situation. As a bystander, he also guessed why Shu Qi was in a difficult situation. He then changed the subject and said, "What Shu Qi said just now is right. Director Wang's reputation has surpassed Director Zhang and Director Feng."

"It was precisely because of this, plus it was science fiction, which was something he was good at, that he was able to take on this role without even reading the script."

Zhou Xun followed up on this topic and said, "You guys are praising Director Wang too much."

"Her reputation surpasses Director Zhang and Director Feng, there is no denying that."

"But there are limitations."

"It should be said that Director Wang's reputation among young people has surpassed Director Zhang and Director Feng."

"If it comes to the middle-aged and elderly group, Director Zhang and Director Feng are still better."

"The reputation they have built up over the years cannot be shaken by Director Wang in just a few years."

Shu Qi and Chen Kun also thought it made sense. After all, Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang had been famous for many years and had already accumulated a solid reputation.

Among the young group, Wang Shu is better.

Among the middle-aged and elderly groups, the status of Zhang and Feng should not be easily shaken.

For example, when Stephen Chow’s movies were introduced into China in the 90s, they were met with widespread criticism.

When those born in the 80s and 90s entered society, Stephen Chow immediately became famous in mainland China.

In different eras, cognition is different and what is accepted is also different.

This principle can also be applied to Wang Shu.

The science fiction films he directed are more popular among young people.

But now it is 2009, and not only those born in the 80s, but also those born in the 90s have gradually entered society.

As those born in the 80s and 90s become the pillars of society, the advantage is increasingly leaning towards Wang Shu.

For example, Feng Xiaogang was able to achieve very good results with the movie "If You Are the One" these days, but more than ten years later he made a sequel to "If You Are the One" and it was a complete flop.

It is Feng Xiaogang's urban comedy films that have failed to keep up with the times.

The three of them were eating and chatting at the same time. Since they all needed to manage their body shape, they didn't eat much.

After dinner, Shu Qi suggested going to the bar.

Zhou Xun not only smokes and drinks, but is also a frequent visitor to bars.

In other words, when she came to Beijing in her early years, she made a living by singing in bars.

During this period, she was spotted by a big boss, who asked her to accompany him drinking.

Zhou Xun was only a resident singer and did not serve drinks, so she rejected the request.

Then, he was beaten up by the boss's younger brother and his front teeth were knocked out.
When Zhou Xun heard Shu Qi talking about going to the bar, he declined politely, "Forget it. I don't know if it's because of what I just ate or what I had at noon, but my stomach feels a little uncomfortable and I want to go back and rest."

Hearing this, Chen Kun asked with concern: "It's not serious, right?"

Zhou Xun shook his head and said, "It's an old problem. I should just go back and rest for a while." Chen Kun nodded, looked at Shu Qi and said, "Since Xun'er is not going, then I won't go either. I still want to go back and study the script carefully."

Seeing Chen Kun so impatient, Shu Qi couldn't force him, so he sighed and said, "If you guys aren't going, then I won't go either."

Zhou Xun smiled and said, "Then I'll go back first."

"Let's go, let's go back." Shu Qi replied helplessly.

Afterwards, the three of them went home.

However, Zhou Xun did not really go home. Instead, he took out his cell phone and called Wang Shu.

"Sister Xun." After the call was connected, Wang Shu's voice rang out.

"Are you busy?" Zhou Xun asked calmly.

"At the company, just about to leave." Wang Shu replied with a smile.

"Haven't you had dinner yet?" Zhou Xun asked with a little surprise.

"Not yet." Wang Shu said with a smile.

"Would you like to eat together?" Zhou Xun asked.

"Okay." Wang Shu responded, knowing that Zhou Xun couldn't drive, and then said, "Where are you? I'll pick you up."

After hearing this, Zhou Xun gave a location.

Wang Shu wrote it down and said, "Wait there for a while. I'll be there soon."

"Well, don't be in a hurry, drive slowly." Zhou Xun reminded with concern.

Dozens of minutes later, Wang Shu saw Zhou Xun waiting on the roadside and quickly asked her to get in the car.

As soon as Zhou Xun sat in the passenger seat, Wang Shu smelled alcohol on her.

Since there was a smell of alcohol, it was obvious that he had eaten.

Considering that Chen Kun left Yikeshu Company this afternoon with the script of "The Night the Comet Came", the answer is obvious.

Through this detail, Wang Shu already had a guess in his mind.

However, he would pretend not to say it.

Because if it were to be exposed, there would be no additional benefits other than embarrassing Zhou Xun.

While driving, Wang Shu glanced at Zhou Xun and praised him with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a while, but your figure hasn't changed."

"but."

"But what?" Zhou Xun had a faint smile on his face as he listened to Wang Shu say this. Suddenly, he heard Wang Shu pause and asked with a tense expression.

Wang Shu smiled and said, "But it seems to be getting better and better!"

Zhou Xun didn't expect such a turn of events. She immediately smiled and gave Wang Shu a speechless eye roll.

Then he said, "Slippery tongue."

"I don't know who you learned this from. You're becoming more and more slick."

Wang Shu knew from Zhou Xun's expression that the other party liked to hear such words.

It’s just that the inner sense of shame often makes people say things that don’t mean what they say.

Then he cried out in injustice: "I am telling the truth, it really looks better."

"Why didn't I feel that?" Zhou Xun said he didn't believe this nonsense and continued to roll his eyes.

"You look in the mirror every day, of course you don't feel it." Wang Shu replied speechlessly.

Zhou Xun felt that Wang Shu was not talking nonsense and that what he said made sense, judging from his serious expression and tone. He couldn't help but touch his face and said, "Maybe it's because of the makeup?"

It is impossible to become more beautiful.

If this is true, it can only be due to makeup.

Because she was meeting Shu Qi today, she put on makeup specially to avoid being in stark contrast with Shu Qi if he was wearing makeup and she was not.

Just because of this little thought, I put on a delicate makeup.

"Makeup is secondary. The main thing is that you look good." Wang Shu was of course aware that Zhou Xun's makeup today was indeed very good, so he couldn't help but praise her.

But even though it is clear, I cannot say it out loud.

"Hmph, you only know how to coax me!" Zhou Xun snorted with a smile on her pretty face.

This is another statement that is not from the heart.

Although he obviously likes to hear these compliments, his words say something completely different.

"I'm not kidding you. I'm telling the truth." Wang Shu looked helpless.

If these words were spoken by someone else, Zhou Xun would definitely not believe them.

But Wang Shu has the endorsement of his personality, so Zhou Xun believes him in his heart.

It is precisely because of belief that one loves to hear people complaining insincerely while unable to suppress their smiles.

"Hehe." Zhou Xun did not continue the topic. Instead, he snorted twice and asked, "You haven't had dinner yet? Where are we going to eat?"

"You decide." Wang Shu gave the choice to Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun pretended to think for a moment and said, "I need to manage my body shape. When I'm not working, I usually don't eat or eat less at night. I only eat more when I'm at a party."

"So, it's up to you to decide."

"I don't eat much anyway, so just eat a little."
