Chapter 129: Exchange of Interests?

Life is like a drama, Shen Mengxi himself is a reborn, and he was mixed in the entertainment industry in his previous life, so it is difficult to have any admiration and awe for these stars and producers.

Let's put it this way, he knows better than anyone what is hidden behind the so-called stars.

Of course, he knew that Li Xiaowan asked him to dinner, and it was impossible to simply thank him...

It should also be aimed at "Moving Maze"...

Tsk, a Hollywood movie, not yet a blockbuster, with an investment of less than $40 million, B-grade scale, a group of people like dogs seeing bones, crazy bites.

I don't know what these people think?

Could it be that if you go to Hollywood and play soy sauce, you can double your value?

Never mind...

Back to the topic, why didn't he drink?

To avoid drunken gaffes, of course;

After all, the reborn is burdened with a huge secret!

Also, he did drive the car...

He didn't want to learn from Wu Jing, who was dug up for drunk driving more than ten years later, leaving behind the famous saying of 'thousands of roads, safety first, irregular driving, and two lines of tears for relatives'...

Of course, this is also his coffee position, otherwise, Li Xiaowan will say, 'I'll help you find a substitute driver'...

......

Li Xiaowan took the initiative to talk about "Rose Red Lotus", and was very sorry: "I really should have invited you to join the crew at that time!"

“... Haha, actually, I had just returned to my hometown at that time, and I was going to retreat and write a book..."

"'Ghost Blows the Lamp'?"

"Yes!"

Lin Shen interjected: "I especially like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", at first I thought the author was an old man..."

Shen Mengxi smiled: "Aren't there many netizens saying that I plagiarized!"

“... That's because you're red, so a bunch of faux rumors touch porcelain!"

"Why don't you argue?"

Shen Mengxi said casually: "If an insider argues with a layman, then a layman!"

Li Xiaowan asked: "How did you come up with the story of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"?"

Shen Mengxi smiled and shrugged: "It's nothing, I saw too much, and I thought of it." ”

This sentence is very forced, but Li Xiaowan nodded: "So the thinking of writers is different from ordinary people, we feel that we have to experience it ourselves, but they can do it easily, this is called personality substitution?"

“... Ha ha. ”

Shen Mengxi laughed again.

"What about Moving Labyrinth?"

“... I watched "Twilight" sell this before I started writing!"

Yang Xiaomi asked suspiciously: ""Twilight"? I watched "Moving Labyrinth", there are no werewolves and vampires..."

"But both of them are teenage themes, and I think if the work of this theme is adapted into a movie, there should be audiences willing to buy it, so I started writing... Sure enough, just after it was published, a company approached me to buy an adaptation..."

Li Xiaowan's face was full of admiration: "So at that time, this is talent!"

"I heard that Twentieth Century Fox took the rights to adapt?"

Shen Mengxi nodded: "... Well, they are very quick and get paid the most. ”

Glancing at Lin Shen, Li Xiaowan said again: "What about the casting audition?"

Shen Mengxi put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth: "... In February, David will fly to China, and we will discuss finding a few Chinese actors..."

"How many? Not three?"

"The three Asian actors, not necessarily all Chinese actors, South Korea also wants to recommend one... I'm not going to hide it from you, it's rain who contacted us!"

Li Xiaowan looked at Yang Xiaomi: "Who is Rain?"

Yang Xiaomi replied: "The king of South Korea, I took over the filming of "Speed Racer" last year... It's famous!"

Shen Mengxi then added: "Rain has a certain popularity throughout Asia, and there happens to be a character named Ming Hao in "Moving Labyrinth"..."

He lifted out Rain...

It's not a lie, the twentieth Fox really likes him - the man who has been opened by Qiao Mei!

Insert a sentence, Qiao Mei is really amazing, everyone who is enlightened by her has a good prospect, Lee Byung-hun and Rain have all entered Hollywood...

Song Seung-heon, what's the matter with you?

Li Xiaowan's face changed, but she quickly smiled: "... I also want you to help introduce us Lin Shen..."

Shen Mengxi: "No problem, when the time comes, anyone can come to the public audition, and Mr. Lin once studied in Australia, and the language can be easily passed!"

Then Li Xiaowan opened the topic and talked about the story of Rongxingda's entrepreneurship...

Shen Mengxi listened while nodding in agreement, occasionally saying 'And then?', anyway, he is a very qualified listener...

That's it?

One meal, four hours, just let Lin Shen try out?

Something is wrong?

He can go by signing up himself!

Although the casting conditions say that he is about 20 years old, Lin Shen is not old, he is full of muscles, maybe he can really be selected!

Even if you can't play a supporting actor, it's still okay to play a soy sauce man.

Insert a sentence, the original requirements for the heroine of "Lust and Caution" are also 19-23 years old, as well as a devil's figure, intelligence, elegant and classical temperament, etc., and in the end, it was not Tang Wei who was 27 years old!

It is said that it is because Tang Wei looks like his Chinese teacher...

At the end of the meal, Shen Mengxi got up and prepared to say goodbye: "Then I'll go first..."

"Xiaomi, send your brother!"

"Okay!"

While talking, Li Xiaowan vaguely handed her a room card...

Shen Mengxi didn't notice this, and excused himself: "No need, I drove the car myself!"

“... Then brother give me a treat!"

“... Yes. ”

......

Yang Xiaomi sat in the co-pilot, her chin was slightly raised, her eyes were a little intoxicated - she had just drunk half a catty...

He whispered: "Producer, can I call you brother in the future?"

“... Forget it, it's too ambiguous..."Shen Mengxi glanced at her through the rearview mirror, mainly looking at her chest, retracting her eyes, and said seriously: "We are both from Nortel, you still call me by name or senior brother!"

"I knew it was a bit abrupt..."

"No, what's the abruptness? I used to drink with a boss and he took off his pants in public just to show us the scars on his thighs!"

“... Really? Who?"

Shen Mengxi replied casually: "A coal boss..."

"You guys are so good at making movies, you can meet so many people!"

“... What if you know a lot of people? People interact with each other to see the accumulated feelings... Let me tell you, you have to cherish the friends you make now, you must not hold the bottom high, whoever is popular plays with whom, otherwise you will get married, and you won't even have a bridesmaid..."

Yang Xiaomi obviously didn't want to hear him say this, so she interrupted him a little rudely: "Senior brother, is your casting for "Moving Maze" an open audition?"

"Well, open auditions!"

"Can I go then?"

Shen Mengxi glanced at her again: "... Of course you can!"

She nodded: "Okay, then I'll definitely go!"

“... I think let's take root in the domestic market first, and then think about it..."

"Your play, a bunch of people want to sharpen their heads!"

"yes..."

"Of course," she leaned slightly in the direction of Shen Mengxi, and then stared at him, "You don't know, do you?"

“... How can you say so exaggerated, I invited an actor several times, but she refused!"

"Who's so visionary?"

“... You don't know..."

At the end of the topic, Yang Xiaomi rolled her eyes and asked, "Senior brother, did you say that our "Painted Skin" can pass the review?"

“... Of course!"

"Then tell me how the movie passed the review?"

“... This one... First of all, you have to have an outline of the script that can pass the review..."

"I've heard a lot of people say that "Painted Skin" can't pass the review, how dare you use so much investment to make this film?"

Yo, this topic poked Shen Mengxi's itch, and he immediately replied: "Look, there can be mythological dramas on the small screen, but it doesn't make sense on the big screen, since there can't be ghosts, then change the ghosts to demons..."

“... You're amazing, you can think of it!"

"No, in fact, there is a slip of the tongue in the industry, 'If you want love not to be deleted, don't take off your clothes', 'Police and gangster movies have been insured, and the anti-corruption tone must be firmly grasped' and 'If you want to think about ghost movies, you can talk about mental problems'..."

Shen Mengxi put it aside and pretended to be forced, Yang Xiaomi suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and said excitedly: "Alas, there is an ice cream shop over there, can I get out of the car and eat an ice cream?"
