superstar director

Chapter 503 Party
This night, many young people from all over Asia, especially the audience from five countries with singers participating, sat around the TV, wanting to watch their own stars bloom their most beautiful brilliance in foreign countries!

It's just a pity that Ning Sheng won't be able to see tonight's performance, because he is no longer in China or Asia, but has come to Xinxin's grandmother's house, which is Emma's home in the United States.

Emma's mother is very fond of the arrival of the little guy, and Xinxin, who is almost two years old, has already started to jump out with one word and two words.

Although because of the bilingual environment, children sometimes yell in Chinese and English, but adults still find it cute and interesting.

All the actions before the release of "Angels of the Thunderbolt" have been done, and it is still early in December, and people like Ning Cheng are not needed for the early publicity work, so Ning Sheng flew here wearing Emma and Xinxin I went to the United States and was on vacation.

Of course, he needs to constantly improve Emma's script during this vacation, and Emma will often give her own opinions after reading it, regardless of whether Ning Sheng accepts it or not, anyway, every time she raises her opinions, she always looks very interested and serious.

After much deliberation, after discussion between Ning Sheng and Emma, ​​the script for Emma was finally named "Rage Rescue".

Of course, the protagonist of the original version of "Rage Rescue" in another time and space is a tall and strong black man, and the mission is set to be a retired special soldier. Now, since Ning Sheng handed over the protagonist to Emma, ​​the identity of the protagonist will naturally change.

However, in order to leave a reasonable logical reason for the exciting action later, Ning Sheng finally thought about it and chose Emma's role as a retired female soldier in the Israeli army. High-ranking people have learned real martial arts.

Then Emma, ​​after serving in the Israeli military when she grew up, gave up the opportunity to become a professional soldier, left Israel and came to the United States to live, but because her boyfriend was a gangster, she got mixed into the gangster melee, and finally After she served three years in prison instead of her boyfriend, he had already married a new love.

So after beating the two of them, Emma left the United States and came to Mexico.Here, she seeks refuge with her sister whom she hasn't seen for many years, and is employed by the other party as her little niece's attendant and bodyguard. Here, under the cute smiling face of her little niece, Emma's originally indifferent heart gradually reappears. warm up.

However, at this moment, a group of robbers kidnapped the little niece. The sudden attack left Emma injured and unable to stop the robbers. Then, the next thing, Emma turned into a furious rescuer, using absolute force, The story of brutal killing, finding the robber step by step, and finally saving the little niece.

In another time and space, this "Rage Rescue" finally won a box office of 7000 million at a cost of 1.3 million US dollars. It is not a very good result, but its reputation is good.

Of course, the box office results are not good. This has something to do with some plots in the movie. For example, the bodyguard is not related to the employer, but he suddenly risked his life to save a little girl. wait.

In this regard, Ning Sheng naturally had to patiently make some changes. What he wanted to make was not an award-winning literary film, but a popular action film that attracted the audience and made them like to watch it.Therefore, he will remove some ink marks to make the play more enjoyable. As for the action design, the best reference objects are "Taken" and "The Bourne".
Writing scripts, spending time with the children, and then getting up and walking the dog with Emma, ​​keeping fit, Ning Sheng lived a very leisurely life in the United States.

After the two couples got bored that day, Emma suddenly answered a phone call. After the call ended, Ning Cheng asked, "What, your agent recommended a new play for you? Why did you just reject it?"

Emma put down the phone and said, "It's not that your script has been finalized for so long. I have accepted a TV series this year, and the income is not much. Naturally, the agent must be anxious. You should write the script quickly, and then set the shooting date. I can tell my agent, otherwise, I’ll be waiting for your movie now, and I won’t accept any new jobs.”

Ning Cheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, anyway, this movie won't start filming until next year anyway, you can arrange your time freely this year, as long as you don't take any jobs that require weight gain, after all, our next year's Movies require you to stay fit and agile."

Emma leaned on Ning Sheng and said, "Anyway, it's almost October, so I won't accept other dramas this year. At worst, I'll take part in a few announcements. Anyway, I won't accept those long dramas, especially those about superheroes." TV dramas have quite a reputation, but they can't compare with their counterparts on the big screen."

Ning Sheng also knows that American superhero movies are wildly sweeping the box office every year around the world, but once these heroes are moved to the small screen TV, the result will be shocking.

Whether it's The Flash, Batman, or Green Lantern, the ratings are far from their superhero status, and some even got cut in half after a few episodes, and what Emma's agent said to Emma just now An invitation from a TV series is the shooting of the new season of Green Arrow.

Compared with other superhero TV series, Green Arrow is considered one of the best. Although it is still incomparable with other hot TV series in the United States, it is already considered very good within the scope of superheroes.

Now it is the fifth season, and the new season needs some new faces. Although Emma has not had a new work in front of American audiences for a long time because of having a baby, she is still very popular and well-known, especially when she has A world-class celebrity husband like Ning Sheng.

So, the director team seemed to invite her to play a resident role in the new season, of course Emma refused.

She just finished filming the hit American TV series "American Horror Story" this year, and now she really doesn't want to make any more TV series, especially in this superhero series, her role is still a role that requires a lot of fighting, which makes Emma, ​​who was carefully preparing to leave her best action performance to "Rage Rescue", didn't like it very much, so Emma directly refused.

But now that Emma has given birth to a child and has become a mother, there has been no big-screen work for more than two years, so the Hollywood film production company is about to forget about Emma, ​​or deliberately ignore this woman who has become a mother of a child.

For Hollywood, where there are countless beauties, there is never a shortage of candidates. Therefore, for married female stars, many production companies will directly delete some special roles from female stars who are married, especially those who have given birth. You take good care of yourself, even though you look very young, but those roles that belong to young girls have long been out of your optional roles as a woman who has given birth.

Many Hollywood female stars pay after marriage, especially after giving birth. Her worth, popularity, and box office appeal have directly dropped by more than one level, and some have directly turned box office panacea into box office poison.

Therefore, Emma seems to be well-known now, but there are really not many movie scripts that can be obtained, especially the situation is completely different from the situation before she gave birth. This is why her agent is anxious to accept her. With the new film contract, I want her to spend more time in front of the audience. After all, the longer the time, the worse it will be for Emma.

Unfortunately, if you look at the former first lady of Hollywood, American Sweetheart, that is, Emma's aunt - Julia Roberts, after giving birth and coming back, the box office of the movie she participated in has plummeted. She was originally the female star with the highest return on investment in Hollywood. But now it is the one with the worst return ratio.

Superstars like Julia who have won Oscars and made many blockbuster movies have ended up like this. Emma, ​​a star who is several levels behind, is naturally looked down upon even more.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Emma won't be able to stand up in the future, and there are many celebrities who get older and more popular, but at this time, no one wants to be the first one to eat crabs.

Everyone wants to wait for Emma to become popular again before cooperating with her. Of course, if Emma can't turn around again, then everyone will naturally forget about you.

Therefore, Ning Sheng's "Fire and Rescue" next year will be a step to make Emma shine again in Hollywood. Both of them understand this in their hearts, so they both pay special attention to this work.

Waking up the next day, Ning Cheng had just hugged Xinxin for a while, when Sister Lin called, Ning Sheng handed Xinxin to Emma, ​​but Xinxin hadn't had enough fun with her father, she waved her little hand, and the little girl Calling "Papa——DAD—" in his mouth, Ning Cheng smiled and held her little hand, interacting with her while answering the phone.

After hanging up the phone for a while, Ning Sheng picked up Xinxin and went to have breakfast with Emma.

Just now, Sister Lin called Ning Cheng to discuss the matter of Ning Tong's three girls. In the second half of the year, the three girls danced for a long time and didn't like the script, and they didn't particularly like the TV series. American production crews need Asian-faced roles, and they want Ning Tong and the three to come to the United States first to experience a different working environment, anyway, they will always get in touch in the future.

Yes, in the plan of Ning Sheng and Sister Lin, the three of Ning Tong always want to go abroad and go to the world, not only for music, but also for movies.

Although it would be more convenient and safer for Ning Sheng to take it personally, but in this society, it is actually not that dangerous. Besides, Ning Cheng has said several times that the three of Ning Tong should cooperate with other directors more.

So, Ning Cheng thought about it, and finally asked Emma next to him, "Do you know that the American crews need Asian characters now? The characters must be normal, not those clowns, crazy, I want Ning Tong and the others to come and try." try."

Emma thought for a while and said, "I'll ask my agent about this, or you can tell him, anyway, you know each other."

Of course, as Emma's manager, Ning Sheng is no stranger to him. After making a phone call and stating his request, the other party immediately agreed to collect information, and the next day, he told Ning Sheng that with the prosperity of the Chinese market, , There are quite a few characters that need Chinese faces, but the most are TV dramas. There are many people vying for roles in movies that last more than 10 minutes, and they are all offered by the agent company. Therefore, if you want to come here now and ask for roles We can only provide supporting roles in some TV series, that is, characters with only a few episodes or one or two episodes.

Ning Cheng asked in detail again. As Emma's manager, the other party also has a lot of connections and abilities. If it's just a few small roles in TV dramas, the other party can directly insert them. Of course, the actor himself can't be too bad. For example, English is better, for example, height and acting skills must meet the most basic requirements of the director.

So, Ning Sheng asked the other party to send over the available characters, and then he and Emma looked through and picked them out.

Ning Cheng chose roles for Ning Tong and the other three, but the three of Ning Tong in China held a party in Ning Cheng's villa.

Because all three members of Ning Cheng's family went to the United States, Ning's father and Ning's mother didn't like living in such a big house, so they went back to live in their own community, so this villa became Ning Tong's temporary paradise.

The "Asia Song Concert" ended three days ago, and the NLZ group that appeared as the finale, their performance of "Sweet Dreams" set off the climax of the night!
The song was originally written about the romantic love of young girls in the blooming season, but under the singing of the three of Ning Tong, the playful wink, the sexy chuckle, and the cute pouting are like a music micro-movie. The audience's blood was boiling, and the screams and shouts never stopped from the very beginning.

If the performances of other singers are attracted by the popularity of the singers and the melody of the songs, then when NLZ came out, the three girls just stood there and appeared on the big screen, and the audience went crazy Boiling!
"Sweet Dream" has no intense rhythm, but is brisk with a little freshness and a sweet taste of a girl, making everyone feel like they have returned to the best first love,

Throughout the performance, the three of Ning Tong seemed to be holding their own concert. Every time they raised their hands and looked back, every look made the audience scream!At this moment, the ratings of the night soared directly from 2.7% to 3.6%.The heartbeat of the director team almost stopped!
This rating directly surpassed the highest rating of 3.5% for the ace variety show The Voice in several years.Let "Asian Song Concert" become a god in one fell swoop and become the hottest program and topic at the moment.

Although there is only one show for this show, with the current popularity, it can be seen that next year's advertising fee will be at least several times that of this year's!
NLZ has brought such a large audience to the show, and the program group Natural History is ecstatic. It is very fortunate to have them. Therefore, when the NLZ show is over, it will be directly open to audiences all over Asia, "December NO.12 , "Thunderbolt Angel" starring us will be released simultaneously across Asia, please support us a lot! Thank you!"

Regarding this, the organizer was stunned, but didn't say much. Anyway, the ratings that everyone wanted had already been obtained, and the others were not important.

Undoubtedly, NLZ won the championship of the night's popularity ranking. After the award ceremony, the three of Ning Tong and the other top three award-winning groups also participated in the celebration banquet of the program group.

But it wasn't too late. On the second day, Girls' Generation, who had won the runner-up, had free activities. Yoona took Jessica, captain Kim Taeyeon, the youngest Xu Xian, and Baoer to invite Ning Tong and the three of them out to play.

So, when the three of Girls' Generation saw Ning Tong and the other three coming, the surprise made Yun'er and Bao'er very happy.

Perhaps it is rare to have the opportunity to play with so many girls of the same age. After playing together today, on the third day after the show ended, and the last day before Girls' Generation left, Ning Tong took everyone directly to Ning Sheng's house to hold a party Team!It can be regarded as saying goodbye to these short-lived friends!
