Chapter 177 I want to make a movie with you
In addition to the well-known news that "Hangover" will be released on December 13 this year, Wang Yang revealed the new progress of the TV series "Prison Break", which was the main creator. NBC TV will be broadcast on Monday night in 2003. The candidate for the male lead has been confirmed. Wentworth Miller, a tall and handsome guy who didn't know where to find it. Fans and fans are not excited about this, and it's not that they haven't seen handsome guys, they are looking forward to a complete set of wonderful TV series.
Then Shenqiyang had another production plan, a new CG animation film "Kung Fu Panda" by Blue Sky Studio. He only said, "The protagonist is a panda who knows how to play kung fu!" and did not disclose more content. But Panda? Kung Fu animation! Shenqiyang wants to produce kung fu films?!
It has always been rumored that this young director is a master of kung fu. In an exclusive interview with magazines, he once joked that he had a good figure and got back from practicing martial arts. As for answering the question "How is your strength?", he even said, "It's not very bad. If you hit naked, I can beat about 20 ordinary people who have not learned any kung fu, martial arts, and fighting skills at a time; 5 people who have ordinary martial arts practices, but 6 people will not do it."
"Kung Fu is not a god. Like a trained special forces soldier, agents can fight 5 enemies at the same time with bare hands, and other martial arts are the same. Kung Fu is a fighting technique in terms of fighting, allowing you to know how to use strength and speed, how to block and attack; but I think the good thing about Kung Fu is that it not only makes you able to fight, but also nourish your body. Many boxings will make your body worse and worse, and even use drugs. These will cause great harm to the body. You may fight very hard at the beginning, but when you reach middle-aged and elderly people, you have to pay. But there is no such situation in Kung Fu, the better your body is."
These words seem very professional, but I always thought that many media fans expressed their doubts, believing that Shenqiyang was bragging, beating 20 ordinary people and 5 martial artists? The reason they didn't believe it is because the time he fought with paparazzi Cole in the past, he was beaten to hurt his forehead. Are paparazzi ordinary people or ordinary martial artists?
So they tend to be monumental and understand some kung fu superficiality, and cannot get hit by Dwayne Johnson. However, despite this, there are still many kung fu martial arts fans looking forward to him shooting kung fu movies. After all, a great director who has been practicing martial arts since childhood is better than those directors who do not understand kung fu and rely solely on martial arts guidance, right?
As a result, the kung fu film that movie fans waited for was actually a CG cartoon. Panda Kung fu? What kind of style setting and content story would this be? Before the professional entertainment media could take action, some movie fans found the news content of the Chinese program "Lu Yu Youyue" recorded by Wang Yang through the Internet, and determined that "Kung Fu Panda" was a type setting for ancient Chinese martial arts, "It will all be Chinese culture."
But after all, a few movie fans heard these sounds, and more people only noticed "Kung Fu" and "Panda". It will take until Blue Sky Studio officially promotes "Kung Fu Panda" and launches its official website, so that the true face of this panda will be revealed.
Obviously, what the media public cares most is his next directing plan, the mysterious work that has not been announced and no clues have been revealed from Natalie Portman.
""mit-21-team"..." Looking at the blog text on the screen, Evelyn, who was sitting at the computer desk, muttered in confusion, 21 is blackjack, the MIT Blackjack group? Before she could figure out what it meant, or look at the introduction of what Shenqiyang said, she was shocked by the starring lineup. It turns out that Natalie Portman plays the heroine, but at the same time, Rachel McAdams! She couldn't help but say: "Rachel, Rachel is here to play!"
Rachel McAdams! How could she not know who Rachel is? This woman who almost scared her to death! And the bad and cute Xia Pei in "Singing and Dance"!
How could media fans forget this popular Rachel in the young actress generation? She and Shenqiyang were the earliest "best combination". At that time, they were 18-year-old directors and 19-year-old heroines were popular all over the United States. They chatted and laughed on talk shows such as "Opra" and had a tacit understanding. At that time, some gossip media even said that they were in love with each other with a sharp eye.
The following "Singing and Dance" teamed up again, but the incident was not highlighted because of the large number of starring people; after "Juno", the 20-year-old Fantasy Young and 19-year-old Natalie, the "Best Director + Best Actress" combination quickly became the new favorites of the public, and fans of the movie fans have always been looking forward to their second collaboration.
Now it's finally here! It turns out to be Fantastic Young + Natalie + Rachel, and the characters of the two of them are still hostile! Evelyn in front of the screen excitedly; in different cities, Claire and others who received this news, countless fans were also excited. Young + Rachel was in 1998, and Young + Natalie was in 2000, but today is in 2002! The three of them have grown a lot. This time they gathered together. Under the directing of Fantastic Young, what kind of sparks will two girls with outstanding acting skills collide!?
This is the element that makes movie fans excited, but when they see the candidate for the male lead, they were stunned again, Daniel Wu! Who is Daniel Wu? A Chinese-American actor who developed in Hong Kong, 28 years old, from San Francisco, graduated from the Department of Architecture at the University of Oregon, one of the top majors in the United States, practiced kung fu since childhood, and was a new movie star in Hong Kong.
So let's say that this movie is a live-action kung fu movie!? Then the movie fans saw no. Except for Asians, most of the North American fans, their interest in Daniel Wu instantly dropped to freezing point. Let's talk about it when he comes up with some skills that they like first.
Why did Shenqi Yang suddenly find a Chinese actor to play the leading role? What movie is this? What role?
"Jeff Horse, Las Vegas..." Evelyn read the information on the screen and gradually understood what was going on. It turned out that this movie was adapted from the best-selling book "The Capture of Las Vegas", and this book was adapted from real stories. Kevin Lewis is Jeff Horse. She continued to recite silently: "30-year-old Jeff Horse graduated from mit, joined the 21 group in 1994... won nearly 10 million US dollars...Wow!" After watching the source of the movie's story, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Cool! Cool!"
Anyone who has read "The Capture of Las Vegas" knows how cool this story is; those who have just heard of it have also soared their interest, so how will Fantasy Yang be adapted?
According to existing information, the movie tells the story of mit students such as Jeff Ma (Daniel Wu), Amanda Kadeni (Natali Portman) forming a Black Jack group to count cards and win money in Las Vegas; while Bevli Kyle (Rachel McAdams) is a talented private detective. He was invited by the casino owners to investigate and investigate the matter, so he must catch the mysterious gang.
Most fans are currently feeling complicated about "mit-21-team". This legendary story is undoubtedly very much anticipated. Young + Rachel + Natalie is even more eager to see it; but they lack interest in the candidates for the male lead and almost completely want to ignore him.
Nadaba left a message saying: "I have no prejudice against Chinese, otherwise I wouldn't like Shenqi Yang. The question is, can Daniel Wu compete for this role? Anyway, for the current cast, I only care about Natalie and Rachel." Fan Lan-p said: "This story is very cool! But isn't it better for Shenqi Yang to play Jeff Ma himself? Who knows Daniel Wu? I hope Shenqi Yang has a way to let me go to the cinema!"...
The happiest thing is Chinese movie fans all over the world. Many entertainment versions of Chinese portals have reported this news on the headlines: "Strange Yang + Magical Jeff-Ma!" Fans of Daniel Wu even screamed wildly, and a comment was warmly supported by many netizens: "It's not Wang Jing, it's Wang Yang!"
"The fantastic director is obsessed with Las Vegas." - The Los Angeles Times, which reported: "Obviously Wang Yang hurts global audiences with "The Ninth District" and also hurts himself. He is now in love with the bustling casino, and it is not enough to play a crazy pre-marital party, and he is going to shoot a gambling movie."
But now the story revolves around Las Vegas' movie classification rankings. The box office champion is the 2001 version of "Eleven Rohan", directed by Oscar Best Director Steven Soderbergh, starring Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Julia Roberts and other superstars. The box office in North America was 183 million, with a global 450 million; the second place is "Casino", which directed the crime drama film in 1995, with a global 42.51 million, with a global 116 million; the third place is "Vegas Holiday" in 1997, with a global 36.4 million.
So in fact, this beach city is not a movie treasure, at least it is too difficult to dig much than in places such as Paris.
Let’s take a look at the movie rankings divided into “scammers”. The highest is the western comedy “Gambling Man Ma Huali” in 101 million in 1094 and 183 million in 183 million in 1994. This is also the box office champion of the movies involving gambling themes; the second is the streetball film “White People Can’t Jump” in 1992 and 190.75 million in 1999. The third is the “Bowinger Project” in 1999.
The average box office number of each movie in Fantasy Yang is 217 million in North America and 443 million in the world. Las Vegas + scam + gambling, this subject is inherently inadequately difficult. If it is an Asian male protagonist, although it is a real story, the difficulty is still several times.
Big directors seem to like to challenge the difficulty, especially commercial movies that are never easy to shoot. If you shoot those soap commercial movies, wouldn’t you lose your own value? The other side of the test of the title of big director is whether you can play with such commercial movies. Steven Soderbergh’s remake of "The Eleven Arhats" has been played with; Steven Spielberg, who has no need to prove anything, is also producing "Attack on the Imperial". Can the new director of Wan Qiyang be played with?
"Attack on Punishment", which is scheduled to be released on December 25 this year, is also adapted from real stories, directed by Spielberg, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, and Christopher Walken. They are also liars and police officers playing cat and mouse games. This also caused some gossip media to make a sensational proposition: "Does Fantasy Young want to show off against Spielberg across the air?"
If so, compared to the director and starring lineup of "Attack on the Impossible", "mti-21-team" is like a talented child, with a hidden danger called "an unknown Chinese male protagonist", and he is facing a long-standing giant. "Hollywood Entertainment" said: "Although magical Yang can do some kung fu, this showdown has no chance of winning."
However, it is obvious that the first to "confront" and challenge the Las Vegas movie rankings is "Hangover", which is in this year's Christmas time. Now many media fans believe that "Hangover" is the pathfinder of "mit-21-team", and it is the first attack launched by Fanqi Yang on the Casino. The results of "Hangover" naturally directly affect the public's expectations and confidence in "mit-21-team".
The Los Angeles Times short story ends: "Miya Young looks ambitious and wants to capture Las Vegas on the big screen, but can he?" It fictionalized Wang Yang in a bracket and replied: "Life is like a box of chocolate, and you never know what the next one is."
"I'm really, really looking forward to it, Rachel McAdams! Humph, you're looking for a good candidate!" Natalie on the other side of the phone had an excitement in her tone. Under the faint moonlight, Wang Yang stood up from the wooden chair on the garden lawn and walked towards the house, jokingly: "Actually, I was going to find Kaira Knightley. Isn't it cooler and more interesting to set Amanda and Bevli as twin sisters?"
Natalie said "Hmm?" and immediately understood what he meant, and laughed: "Of course! Add some 'lifelong opponent', the fatalism of the East...Wow! Why don't you do this?"
"How do you do this sister? She is about to shoot "Pirates of the Caribbean", so I can't invite her." Wang Yang smiled and walked into the back door of the house and said, "Forget it this time, let's shoot this subject again in the future, so that you can't live a life." Natalie smirked and said, "Hahaha, a good joke!" She asked again, "Is that Daniel Wu's acting good? I haven't watched many Hong Kong movies."
Wang Yang smiled seriously and said, "Only the one who really suits me will make the decision. Every character is. Daniel is very good, believe me." Natalie smiled without any worries and said, "Okay! I believe you are always right, I believe you."
The two chatted for a few more times and ended the call. Wang Yang sat down on the sofa in the living room, looked around and looked around to find Jessica's figure, but he didn't see it. He leaned his head down on the sofa and thought about something. After a while, he picked up his phone and called Lin Yibin. He answered and smiled: "Hi, Justin, good evening. Do you have time to have dinner tomorrow? I want to talk to you about some things in the movies, and I want to invest in you to make a new movie."
"Oh." Lin Yibin was completely unexpected. "Hot Maji" has not been released yet, a new movie? But he knew that what he had to do at this time was to agree quickly. He smiled happily and said, "Okay! Yang, this is so surprising." Wang Yang smiled and said, "It's nothing, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Lin Yibin responded happily, suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, I have met a Chinese director from Australia these days. He is a very talented person. He is looking for investment in Hollywood with his friends. If he wants to know you, can I give him your number?"
"Yes! Has he been to FM company?" Wang Yang shrugged and smiled at his phone, "You know FM can be easily passed." Lin Yibin replied, "I have already found it. Mr. Peter Wilkes approved his investment of one million, but the specific plan has not been agreed upon yet." Wang Yang nodded and said, "Well, then I'll take over this investment, Justin, and call him together tomorrow."
After talking for a few words, Wang Yang put down his phone and suddenly frowned in confusion. What is the name of the Chinese director? Damn Justin! He suddenly joined together, waved his hands and feet to the left and right, shouting "Haaa" several times in a row, and stole his right foot and shook his feet on the floor. The floor suddenly "bang" suddenly. He twisted his shoulders and muttered, "When can I fight again?"
"hey, Yang!" After he fucked casually for a while, Jessica, who was dragging slippers, walked into the living room with a sweet smile. She was holding a deck of playing cards in her hand and said with a smile: "Look at me." Wang Yang stopped in a daze, watching her quickly turn the cards around, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?" Jessica's eyes were full of expectations and said: "Is there a role suitable for me in "mit-21-team"? How about I play a card counter?"
"Um..." Wang Yang shook his head. He had thought about this aspect a long time ago. Neither of the two heroines are suitable for her, and the card counter does not have many scenes or performances, but the main reason is still not suitable.
Seeing that he was about to say the word "no", Jessica felt ashamed and frowned. She frowned and smiled slightly, "Please! Director, I can act well, look!" She divided the cards into half of them, and then shuffled them across each other, but she couldn't control them all at once. The cards fell down a large pile of them scattered on the floor. She widened her eyes and shouted "Jesus", and quickly bent over to pick them up: "Not this, this is just a temporary mistake!"
Seeing her panda-like look, Wang Yang couldn't help laughing, and stepped forward to help her pick it up, saying, "Jesse, I'm not saying that your acting skills are not good. Card counters don't need much acting skills, but you know you are too beautiful and not suitable for playing such a supporting role." He looked at her side face and explained seriously: "It's like flowers need green leaves to set off. Of course, two card counters girls cannot be ugly, but they can't steal the attention of the heroine's camera; and Card counters' appearance and temperament require a little more ordinary, you're too hot."
"This is another sentence!" Jessica let out a deep breath, her face was expressionless, her eyes were motionless at the pile of cards such as q, 5, a, and said in a stiff tone: "I don't understand, is Rachel not beautiful or spicy, is Natalie Portman not beautiful or spicy? Why can they! I can't? I don't think I am so pretty!"
Not an idiot knows that she has lost her temper. Wang Yang hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, and coaxed her warmly: "Neither is as beautiful as you. I think if there is such a list of the most beautiful ones, those magazines will have them? You are all first."
Jessica didn't want to get these praises. She broke away from his hug with her left hand and said hard: "Thank you! Is this all my fault right?" She knew about this movie first, and she thought there would be characters... But he didn't care at all, Natalie, Rachel, the best combination, and Anne Hathaway, Scarlett behind it? No matter how she doesn't have her anyway!
Wang Yang wiped his forehead with the thrown hand. Although he knew that she was angry now, he wanted to say something in his heart, and then explained: "It's not someone's fault, but sometimes being too beautiful will affect his senses. This kind of beauty is not pleasing to the eyes, but the kind of beauty that makes people's heart beat faster and distracted. So you see, Julia Roberts made herself ugly, and she won the Oscar."
There is also the future movie "The Devil", in which Charlize Theron disfigured himself. He continued: "That's why I suggest you to move towards action hardcore, because when you move, others ignore your face."
"Then I'll make myself ugly too." Jessica's eyes lit up. This was a good idea! She smiled and said, "It's just about putting on makeup. I'm the best at it. How ugly should I be to calculate the card guy?"
Wang Yang looked her up and down seriously, thinking about this possibility, but after thinking about it, she didn't think she could be so ugly, unless she shaved her eyebrows like Charlize Theron... But in the movie, she also had to wear different styles, including ordinary students and grand evening dresses... The problem is that everyone knows that she is Jessica, and if she makes an ugly woman, it would be better if she doesn't wear makeup. At least the audience will not be thinking all night: "What are she and Wang Yang thinking about in their minds?"
He shook his head and smiled, "No need, you're so good-looking! You can also play the leading role, Flame Movie, other film companies..."
"I want to make a movie with you!" Jessica interrupted his words, her eyes were red, she threw the cards in her hand on the ground, stood up and walked to the sofa. It took several months to shoot a movie, and it took several months to promote it. Why can't we spend these time together? The characters in this movie are all young people, why don't we have her...
"Hehehe, what's wrong?" Wang Yang quickly stepped forward and hugged her. It was the first time she did this. He suddenly felt her mood. She always wanted to appear in his movies and even more wanted to be the heroine. However, in the past two days, the news about "mit-21-team" on the Internet all said that Wang Yang, Rachel, Natalie... He had a decision in his heart and said seriously: "Jessica, I promise you, we will shoot the next movie together."
Jessica pressed against his chest, and listening to his eager words, she heard her voice vaguely in her ears: "What are you doing? Why are you so willful, why are you asking him to say such things?" She raised her head and looked into his eyes and said, "No! Yang, don't make such a guarantee. The words just now didn't count, I don't like it."
"I like it! I want to make movies with you too, and I don't have to be ugly." Wang Yang smiled, holding her hands on her to prevent her from breaking free, and kept kissing her cheeks "muma, muma". Jessica did not speak silently, but after being kissed by him for a while, she couldn't help but chuckled. The bad mood just now gradually faded. She smiled and wiped the saliva from her face, blocked his mouth, and said, "Okay, okay! I'm not angry, I'm just a little unhappy, but now it's okay."
"muma,muma—" Wang Yang continued to touch her face mechanically. Jessica hit his chest and smiled, "Ah, have you kissed enough? My face hurts by your kiss!" Wang Yang immediately smiled, "What's your face? This belongs to mine." Jessica pushed him away and smiled, "When is it yours?" Wang Yang kissed her lips and said, "That Thanksgiving four years ago!muma—"
Chapter completed!
