Chapter 139 The new director of DreamWorks

After interspersed with several times of NG, the filming of "Friends" has come to an end today. Chen Zishan stood up with unsatisfied feelings, and followed Zhang Lexing out of the studio.

As soon as she walked out the door, Chen Zishan stopped suddenly, and said angrily, "Oh, I was in a hurry just now, and I forgot to ask for their autographs."

"Zi Shan, I didn't expect you to be a fanboy."

"That's not it. I saw that their performances were not bad, and the show was also not bad, so I guess I got them to sign."

"Okay, I'll help you figure out a way to make sure I get all the autographed photos for you." Zhang Lexing patted Chen Zishan's shoulder lightly, and comforted him, "Don't bother me."

"Okay, you must do it." Chen Zishan finished speaking, like a happy little girl, bouncing towards the gate, Zhang Lexing had no choice but to follow, and the two bodyguards had to separate one of them. The car drove, and the other followed behind Zhang Lexing.

Maybe Chen Zishan is in a really good mood today. Along the way, she sometimes runs around with her hands open, as if flying in the sky, and sometimes squats in front of the plants on the roadside and looks left and right, as if she wants to study the origin of species. The same, sometimes bouncing forward and singing cheerful songs, but Zhang Lexing couldn't understand what she was singing, anyway, it was neither Chinese nor English.Chen Zishan sang happily all the way, but it was hard for those who followed, especially Zhang Lexing. Today he found out that girls can run fast even in high heels.

When she came to the gate, she might be a little tired, but Chen Zishan finally calmed down a bit. Just when Zhang Lexing was about to ask her if she wanted a ride, there was a burst of arguing.Zhang Lexing followed the sound, and it turned out that the guard at the door was arguing with a tall young man. The young man was rather handsome, with a slight stubble on his chin, and he was quite masculine.

"Sir, I've explained it to you several times. Why don't you believe that Mr. Bergner didn't come here today?" the guard explained while stopping the young man with his hands.

"But the people in the office said that Mr. Bergner will come here today." The young man retorted unwillingly.

"I'm not sure about this. I only know that Mr. Bergner is not here today. If you have anything to do, please go to his office."

Seeing that the young man's expression seemed anxious, Zhang Lexing stepped forward and asked out of curiosity, "Sir, what can you do with Eddie?"

"Oh." The young man sighed and said, "I wanted to talk to Mr. Bergner about shooting commercials, but I couldn't find him anyway."

"Oh, shoot a commercial." Zhang Lexing lost interest immediately. Naturally, someone who should be in charge of this kind of matter should take care of it, so there's no need to meddle in it.

Before turning around, Zhang Lexing asked casually: "Sir, what's your name, if it's convenient, I'll pass it on to you."

"Thank you so much," the young man smiled and said, "My name is Michael Benjamin Bay, you can call me Mike. Ah, may I ask you to be..."

"I am very familiar with Mr. Bergner. My surname is Zhang. Mike, if I meet Mr. Bergner, I will tell you." Zhang Lexing turned around and wanted to call Chen Zishan to take the car together. Suddenly, he felt that Michael Benjamin Bay This name seems to have been heard before, and this young man also looks a little familiar, as if he is a bit similar to a certain great director in memory.

So Zhang Lexing stopped and asked Mike, "Mike, which university did you graduate from?"

"Well, Wesleyan University."

"Then what are you mainly doing now?" Zhang Lexing asked again.

"Mainly shoot MTV and commercials, and occasionally write scripts for friends."

It sounded quite matching, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but said, "Well, did you win the Golden Lion Award at the Cannes International Film Festival in France?"

"Yes, I did win such an award. Mr. Zhang, have you seen the things I took?"

Even this one is right. It seems that the person in front of him should be the future director Michael Bay that Zhang Lexing knows. Now that he has come in front of him, Zhang Lexing can't let him go easily. "Transformers" had to keep him.

While thinking about Zhang Lexing, he said nonsense: "I have seen the MTV and commercials you made, and I think they are very innovative. You should be a good director. Mike, have you ever thought about developing in the film and television industry, making movies or something. "

Michael Bay smiled wryly and said: "Actually, since I first filmed MTV, I have been expecting someone to call me, but unfortunately this wish has never been fulfilled."

"Mike, I know you are a very good director and have your own ideas. I believe you will be successful."

"Mr. Zhang, although I don't know why you have so much confidence in me, I still thank you very much."

"Mike, I have a script here and I'm planning to find a director. I think you should be suitable. Are you interested in trying it?"

"Really?" Michael Bay felt that today was miraculous, and it was unbelievable that he would meet someone who asked him to be the director so casually.

"Really." Zhang Lexing said with certainty.

"Then can I read the script first, I don't know if it is really suitable."

Just as Zhang Lexing was about to agree, he suddenly remembered that Chen Zishan was still behind him. It seemed inappropriate to take Michael Bay to read the script under such circumstances, so he changed his words and said, "Mike, leave a phone number. I will call you again about the script." The phone call should be within a few days."

"Okay." Michael Bay was a little disappointed, but he still took out a business card and handed it over: "Mr. Zhang, this is my business card. You are welcome to call anytime."

Zhang Lexing took the business card and looked at it, then put it in his business card holder, and said, "Mike, don't worry, I won't keep you waiting for too long."

Michael Bay waved his hand, turned around and got into a car parked near the gate, started the car and drove away.

Looking at the tail dust left by Michael Bay's car, Zhang Lexing sighed, came to Chen Zishan and asked, "Zishan, how do you feel today?"

"Very good." Chen Zishan said happily, "By the way, who was that person just now?"

"Oh, there is a director who happens to have a script that is more suitable for him. I plan to find him to shoot."

"Le Xing, why don't you keep him here?"

"I see that you are still here, so I can't neglect you."

"Lexing, it's okay. If you have work, don't mind me. I will take care of myself." Chen Zishan said generously.

"That's not good."

"It doesn't matter, my mother said, never bother a man when he is working. I also think that a man is most attractive when he is working hard, so don't worry."

"Thank you, Zishan."

"You're welcome." Chen Zishan blushed slightly: "If you really want to thank me, just show me when the film is about to be shot."

Only then did Zhang Lexing understand what Chen Zishan was thinking, and he couldn't help laughing.Michael Bay has gone far away, and apparently he will not be able to contact him for a while. Since the script cannot be read for the time being, Zhang Lexing decided to make full use of the precious time now.

"Zishan, there's no need to rush about the script. It's rare for us to come out to play. Is there any place you want to go?"

"Disneyland." Chen Zishan said without hesitation.

"You should have been in the United States for a few years, and you haven't been to Disneyland yet?"

"In fact, I have wanted to go for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity. Only Orlando and Los Angeles have Disneyland. Haven't been there yet."

"Since you want to go so much, then I'll take you there to have fun." Zhang Lexing pointed forward with his hand and said, "Go to Disneyland, go forward."

……

Disneyland is located in Anaheim, California, about 40 kilometers from the center of Los Angeles. At this time, the California Adventure theme park next to Disneyland has not even had a shadow.

The first thing Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan did when they came to Anaheim was to find a hotel near Disneyland to live in first. The area of ​​Disneyland is not too big. One day is enough if you just go to see it, but it is impossible to come to Disneyland. If you don't play those rides, wouldn't it be in vain.

After a short rest and dinner, Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan took advantage of the darkness to come to Disneyland. The closing time is relatively late in summer, so they can take a night tour.

When I entered the park, the sky was gradually darkening, and the lights in Disneyland were already on. The fairy lights of Snow White's fairy tale castle were flickering, and the spiers of the castle were also shining.The small lights decorated in the CityHall (Visitor Service Center) located in the main street square exude golden and red light, and against the backdrop of the night, they flicker like elves there.Walking on the road of Disneyland, Chen Zishan looked at the colorful little houses inlaid with exquisite glass windows, and the stained glass doors inlaid with various colors of blue, green, red and gold. As well as the bright or soft lights from those small rooms, I am fascinated.

After walking for a while, a bronze statue appeared in front of him. When he got closer, it turned out to be Walt Disney, the founder of Disney, and his Mickey Mouse. We welcome every visitor who enters the park.

When passing by a BBQ, Zhang Lexing bought a handful of skewers and gave more than half of them to Chen Zishan. He took the remaining few skewers and ate them while shopping.When Chen Zishan wiped out all the skewers in his hand, Zhang Lexing looked at his watch. It was almost time for the water screen movie to start, so he took Chen Zishan to the western frontier theme area.

There is a small river called "America" ​​in the western frontier theme area, and the water curtain movie is played in this river.When they came to the river, there were already many people gathered here, but fortunately, the river was not completely blocked, and there was still room for Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan to watch.Not long after, a burst of music sounded, and the water curtain movie started.

A boat floated along the small river, and the actors standing on the boat made a collective appearance, and then Mickey appeared on the high mountain behind, and after saying hello to everyone, he began to tell the story of his victory over the wizard. The fountain rose, forming a mist of water.

One, two, more and more flowers are blooming on the water mist. Under the combined effect of color laser and water mist, the beautiful flowers are both real and illusory, full of texture.Next, real people and laser water curtains are staged alternately, and the music is also fueling the flames. In the switching between true and false, Mickey played by real people is more brave and witty, and the witch in the magic mirror on the water curtain is more distorted and evil. Intense, the boat shuttles through the water curtain, accompanied by the lightning-like battle, a kind of extreme tension and thrill arises spontaneously, a very fairy tale story is unfolded in a magical and extreme way of interpretation...

In the end Mickey defeated the evil witch and the battle was over.A large four-story boat came out on the water, and the boat was full of actors wearing exaggerated costumes of various colors and high hats. Accompanied by high-pitched singing, the actors made various exaggerated movements and performed a curtain call. Performance.Mickey appeared on the mountain again, and there was endless applause by the river...

At this time, the fireworks also began to be set off. With the aria-like music, the waves of fireworks were higher and higher, and each wave was longer.When the music climbed to a peak, the whistling fireworks fired in five bursts, raising the height of the fireworks to a new level.The music on this peak continued and there was a loud bang for three times, and the fireworks also rose and fell repeatedly three times, each time rising higher than the last time, until the end.

After watching the fireworks, the number of people in the garden suddenly decreased a lot, and the queues in front of many amusement facilities were also much shorter. So under the strong request of Chen Zishan, I chose a few interesting projects and played wildly, such as Splash Mountain, Pirate Ship, Big Thunder Mountain Train, and more.I don’t have much interest in these Zhang Lexing, that is, when I play the pirate ship, I think of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean". like laughter.

Finally, after playing with Dumbo and the merry-go-round, Chen Zishan reluctantly walked back with Zhang Lexing. Seeing her reluctance, she probably would have spent the whole night here if the garden hadn't been closed.

Back at the hotel, Chen Zishan went back to her room directly, but Zhang Lexing couldn't rest yet, so she picked up the phone and dialed Eddie Bergner's number. Fortunately, he seemed to be still asleep, and someone answered the phone soon.

"Hi, I'm Bergner." Eddie Bergner's voice came from the phone.

"Eddie, it's me."

"Oh, it's Mr. Zhang."

"Eddie, are you up so late?"

"Mr. Zhang, you know I'm used to it. I usually sleep very late. By the way, Mr. Zhang, is there something wrong?"

"Well, it's like this. I remember that there should be a book called "Bad Boys" in the company's script library. I want to find someone to shoot him now."

"There is such a book, but it doesn't seem too exciting, Mr. Zhang, are you going to use up your recommendation right?"

"Well, it can be used. Eddie, you need to find a producer first, and help me figure out the budget of this film. You know, this kind of thing is very troublesome."

"Mr. Zhang, it happens that Jerry (Jerry Bruckheimer) is fine. I asked him to be the producer. I think you can rest assured."

"Okay, let's go to him. Eddie, but I have a candidate for the director, Michael Bay, I have his phone number here, xxx-5551212, you ask Jerry to contact him, not only for this film film, but also to sign this Michael Bay, it is absolutely worth it.”

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, then I'll do it tomorrow."

"Okay, let me know if you have any news, bye." After speaking, Zhang Lexing put the phone back to its original position, and the next thing would be up to Jerry.
