Chapter 663: This Time Is Different From The Past (4200+ Chapters, Ask for Subscription~)
In Los Angeles in May, you can already feel the enthusiasm here, Wu Jianye is wearing a simple white T-shirt, jeans, and a pair of white sneakers, and his hair has grown a little, this dress makes Wu Jianye look like a man in his 20s.
At this time, Wu Jianye was sitting in a coffee shop on the side of the street, and many men and women outside the window were driving by in cool clothes calling friends.
Sitting next to him were Dai Zhen and Chen Le.
"Brother, who, I have to let you wait for him!" Chen Le said with some unhappiness.
Wu Jianye smiled slightly and said, "We just came, and besides, it hasn't reached the appointed time yet, so it doesn't mean that the other party is late!"
Then Wu Jianye asked Chen Ledao: "How are you and Dan Silan doing now?"
Speaking of Dan Silan, Chen Le's face showed a happy smile and said, "It's good, now that every day is full, and I am preparing for admission!"
Danslan's college attendance in Los Angeles has been almost arranged, but it is a little difficult to continue her classical dance classes here, and she has changed to art history.
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "What about you, have you thought about what will happen in the future?"
Wu Jianye told Chen Le before that if he wants to maintain his relationship for a long time, he must cultivate the common hobby of the two, or make their own plans!
Now that there is nothing to do, Wu Jianye casually asked about Chen Le's plan.
Chen Le scratched his head and said, "I didn't think about it, what I discussed with Yucca was that when she graduated here, she was thinking about the future." ”
Wu Jianye thought for a while, and the two of them were only in their early 20s, so they didn't say much.
At this time, Wu Jianye and the others had already arrived, a middle-aged man in his early forties, elegant with a tenacity.
After this person saw Wu Jianye, he immediately smiled, walked over, and apologized: "I'm really sorry, Director Wu has kept you waiting for a long time!"
Wu Jianye pointed to his watch and said with a smile: "It's okay, you're not late, it's me who arrived early!"
Dai Zhen and Chen Le saw that Wu Jianye and others were coming, and the two sat down at the table next to them.
After Wu Jianye sat down with this man, he said with a smile: "Sam, I invite you to come over this time, I just hope that you can star in my new movie "Jurassic Park"!"
Samnier!
British actor, his father is a New Zealand officer, his mother is English, and when he was in college, he got a bachelor's degree in British literature.
It is precisely this family background and learning environment that makes him have both elegance and tenacity.
Wu Jianye naturally asked him for him to play Dr. Aaron Grant in "Jurassic Park", in fact, in another time and space, it was Dr. Aaron Grant played by Samnier.
At this time, Samniel was not a well-known actor in Hollywood, his fame was more concentrated in the United Kingdom, and he also won the Best Actor Award for British TV in the 80s.
So when he knew that Wu Jianye invited him from his agent, he was very excited, and he went out early today, but he didn't expect that Wu Jianye would be earlier than himself.
"Director Wu, I am very honored to be invited by you, I have seen the previous movies "Ghost Love" and "The Last Emperor", which is a very artistic film, if I can star in your movie, I believe it will be a glorious moment in my career!"
Samnier did not shy away from expressing his desire to participate in Wu Jianye's movie.
His attitude did not make Wu Jianye feel strange, because Wu Jianye at this time was no longer the original Wu Jianye, when Wu Jianye had just come to Hollywood, the mainstream film circle in North America did not believe in Wu Jianye's ability at all.
The success of "The Love of People and Ghosts" made Wu Jianye famous in the mainstream film industry in North America, although his Chinese identity will still make many people secretly discriminate against him in their hearts, but the discrimination of discrimination, there are many people who want to star in Wu Jianye's new film.
This is the benefit that a person brings after success!
It is also why everyone likes to succeed, one is the inner satisfaction when they succeed, which is irreplaceable by other feelings, and then the sense of accomplishment after success is still intoxicating!
"Haha, it's a great pleasure for me to have Sam with you......."
Since Samnier had no opinions, the two began to talk about the movie, and Wu Jianye introduced the situation to him, and Samnier also promised Wu Jianye that after ending the conversation between the two, he would take his agent to Phantom Entertainment to sign the contract.
When chatting with Samnier, Wu Jianye didn't notice a beautiful figure walking into the café again, after this figure came to the café, he first looked around the café, and then saw his target.
With a surprised expression on his face, he came to Wu Jianye's side.
"Director Wu......."
Wu Jianye looked up when he heard the voice and saw this girl, he was slightly stunned at first, and then remembered who the other party was!
"Monica!"
Monica smiled with surprise and said, "Director Wu, you still remember me, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
Wu Jianye didn't think much about it, after all, the coffee shop he was looking for was a relatively well-known coffee shop in Los Angeles, and Hollywood stars often came here, so Wu Jianye felt that it was not surprising to see Monica.
"What are you?"
Although Monica is very beautiful, Wu Jianye is now chatting with Samniel about the movie, and when Wu Jianye is now, no matter how beautiful a girl is, it is not too difficult for him to get it, so he has no intention of letting Monica sit here.
Monica hurriedly said, "I made an appointment with a friend a long time ago!"
Wu Jianye nodded and didn't say anything more, but the meaning was already obvious, he was going to talk to Samnir about things.
Monica also said goodbye and left with great interest.
Whether it is Wu Jianye or Samniel, neither of them has much thought about such a situation, and it is basically no secret that such a situation is in Hollywood.
Everyone can give everything they have in order to be famous.
Up to now, Wu Jianye still hadn't thought much about it.
The chat with Samnier went very smoothly, and Wu Jianye told him about the filming concept of "Jurassic Park", and hoped that Samnier could learn the common sense of paleontology before the official start of filming.
Samnier doesn't have a problem with that.
More than an hour later, Wu Jianye and Samnier got up and shook hands and said goodbye, as for Samnier going to Phantom Entertainment to sign a contract, naturally Wu Jianye was not needed.
And Wu Jianye did not leave the coffee shop, but sat here and continued to enjoy the scenery outside, but from Wu Jianye's frequent movements of looking at his watch, it could be seen that he was still waiting for someone.
Monica glanced at Wu Jianye's behavior, and then stopped the idea of stepping forward to talk to her, if you want to seduce someone, you also need to have a plan, and when you see a man, you will pounce up, which is the means of ordinary women.
Almost ten minutes later, the second wave of Wu Miya's guests arrived.
"Director Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
There were two men who came in, one Chinese and one white, the Chinese were Wu Jianye's old friends, Zun Long, who had a previous partnership, and with him was his colleague Jeff Goldblum, who came on Broadway!
Jeff Goldblum is also an actor in another time and space "Jurassic Park", playing the same Dr. Ian Malcolm who Wu Jianye wanted Mel Gibson to play.
Since Mel Gibson doesn't want to play this role now, Wu Jianye has no choice but to choose the original actor, in fact, whether it is Jeff Goldblum or Sam Neil, they are not too famous actors in Hollywood at this time.
For the movie "Jurassic Park", the main role is not people, but those lifelike dinosaurs, so the actors don't need to be too famous, as long as they don't lag behind in their acting skills.
This can also reduce the shooting budget of some movies, which can be said to be the best of both worlds.
Jeff Goldbrun has another role to say in his film history, that is, "Independence Day" in 96, at that time, he and the just-debuted Shi Huang teamed up to contribute a visual feast to fans around the world.
It's just that the later "Independence Day 2" is a pity for the theme of "Independence Day.......
Jeff Goldbrun is now a Broadway actor, and after knowing his situation, Wu Jianye called Zunlong and asked him to help contact Jeff Goldbrum and make an appointment to meet today!
The role of Dr. Ian, although there are not many scenes in the first part, has become a well-deserved first male protagonist in the second part, so Wu Jianye still attaches great importance to this role.
Although Wu Jianye himself will not direct the second part of "Jurassic Park", he also has to lay a good foundation for the subsequent development of this movie.
Jeff Goldblum has appeared in several Hollywood movies before, the most recent being the horror movie "The Fly Man" released in '86, in which Jeff played a grim and eerie character, which was once his label in Hollywood.
However, as a Broadway actor, he naturally has his own pursuits, of course, there are naturally interests in this, and the cold and weird character design can not bring him the role of the protagonist of the movie, so Jeff Goldblum, who has always wanted to seek change, after meeting Wu Jianye, as for agreeing to Wu Jianye's invitation later, it is reasonable.
"Director Wu, I hope our next cooperation can be very pleasant!" Jeff Goldblum's movie image, although he is often a ruffian, but in reality, he is still more humble.
"The movie will start filming in July this year, and you have to adjust your schedule during this time!" Wu Jianye said.
"Don't worry, Director Wu!" Jeff Goldblum said with a smile.
After the formal work was discussed, Zunlong and Jeff Goldbrunn also got up to say goodbye, and Zunlong even preached with Wu Jianye, and when there was time, he would take Chen Chong to visit Wu Jianye.
After the two male protagonists of "Jurassic Park" are determined, Wu Jianye's work is basically completed, and the other roles are responsible for the casting directors of "Jurassic Park".
Wu Jianye sat in his place and called Harry Allen, the casting director of "Jurassic Park".
Harry Allen is the contracted director of Hera's agency, and has been up and down in Hollywood for several years, but there have been no works, more of them are assistant directors, and the identity of the casting director appears in the crew.
However, he also has an advantage, that is, he has a very wide network in Hollywood, and he maintains a good relationship with many directors and actors.
"Director Wu, I have also confirmed a few actors here, and they have been sorted out, some roles have several backup actors, and you will need to decide in person when the time comes!" Harry Allen received a call from Wu Jianye and immediately reported his work process.
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "I'll let people go to the company to get the information!"
At this time, although there is already an e-mail, but its function is not mentioned, like this kind of information, you still need to see the paper information more accurate.
After dealing with these things, Wu Jianye got up and prepared to leave here.
At this time, Monica came over again: "Is Director Wu ready to leave?"
Wu Jianye nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the matter is over, by the way, what about your friend?"
Monica made a disappointed expression and said, "The pigeon has been released." ”
In this regard, Wu Jianye expressed sympathy.
Monica's disappointment didn't last long, and said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter if you are released pigeons, it is an exciting thing to be able to meet Director Wu here." ”
Wu Jianye laughed: "It's so polite!"
Monica tried to say, "Director Wu, my friends and I have a party tonight, I wonder if you are interested?"
Wu Jianye smiled: "I'll forget it, I don't know your friends, and I have some other things tonight." ”
Monica looked disappointed: "Okay then. But then Monica showed a hint of expectation, looked at Wu Jianye, and asked a little timidly: "That...... Director Wu, can I leave a phone number for you?"
It's like what a fan looks like when facing his idol.
Wu Jianye said: "Of course there is no problem!"
After saying that, he wrote down his phone number on a napkin and handed it to Monica!
The two said goodbye.
Wu Jianye, who had been smiling, had a smile on his face, but when he sat in the car, his face became different, and even a little gloomy.
"Find a private investigator and check out the situation with this Monica!" Wu Jianye commanded.
Dai Zhen asked, "Brother, is there something wrong with this woman?"
"Hehe, it's a big problem!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
When he first saw Monica in the coffee shop, Wu Jianye didn't think much about it, but a series of Monica's operations later made Wu Jianye more vigilant.
First of all, Monica's behavior is a little problematic, saying that she was released by a friend, so she should have left early, but she didn't, which means that she must have other plans.
Then there is the attitude towards himself, Wu Jianye believes that this Monica is so active, she must want to get something in herself.
However, this kind of thing is not strange in Hollywood, an actress who has just debuted, if she wants to climb up, must be ready to sacrifice.
But Monica's performance is not in line with the methods of Hollywood actresses, and their performance should be more active.
Although it was impossible for Wu Jianye to guess that Harvey Weinstein was calculating himself, he always felt that there was something strange in this matter.
