Chapter 220: The director came to the door
Xia Ge and Mildew came to the Western restaurant, and there was no one else here today, so Xia Ge took this place so as not to be disturbed.
At this time, Li Ruobai, Lin Tao and others all gathered from different directions.
On the stage of the western restaurant, a man in a casual shirt is playing casually on the piano.
Taylor sat at a long dining table below, where occasional waiters brought delicious food, but it was covered with silver cutlery.
Xia Ge played casually, and in his realm, the casual playing was also very rhythmic.
If you give him more time, he can write songs himself.
The songs from the last harvest and the summer songs were not used up.
There are also three songs, which are just right now boring to sing.
These songs have been registered with the copyright society, and no one else will hear them.
The first one is called Cradles.
Natsu sang and sang, and suddenly someone ran in from outside.
The waiter tried his best to stop it, but he couldn't do it, Xia Ge frowned, he just came to the Western restaurant, he must have been the person who came with him from the fashion show.
Although he made a certain amount of avoidance when he left before, he couldn't hide it from someone who had a heart. If you keep an eye on him, you still know that he drives a Maserati.
Xia Ge did not stop and continued to talk about the piano.
For him, the people who come to disturb are trivial, and the western restaurant will take care of it.
βI live inside my own world of make believe.
I live in the world of my imagination,
Kids screaming in their cradlesοΌ profanities.
The children screamed and cursed in the cradle,
I see the world through eyes covered in pink and bleach.
Through my eyes, the world is covered in a layer of pink and bleach,
Cross out the ones who held my cries and watched me weep.
Erase all those who see my soft side,
I love everything.
I love all things,
Fire spreading all around my room.
As the flames continue to engulf my room,
My world's so bright.
At this moment, there was only fire in my eyes. β
Xia Ge was singing on stage, and the rhythm of this song was very strange. There are a lot of drum beats, but Xia Ge also played a weird and special feeling with the cooperation of the piano.
From this point of view, Xia Ge's attainments in the piano instrument are already very deep.
Taylor was so focused on the stage that he didn't notice that the restaurant manager was blocking the intruder, and there was silence now.
Until Xia sang the song, everyone applauded.
Hearing the applause of many people, Xia Ge noticed that the person who came in just now was not invited out.
Although there were two security guards next to him, and even the manager was there, he was more polite to that person.
Xia Ge saw that this person turned out to be a Chinese, but Xia Ge didn't know him.
Seeing that Xia Ge didn't play, the manager hurriedly led people to Mildew's side.
Said apologetically: "Miss Taylor, I'm very sorry, this guest has a special identity, and he came specifically to find Xia, what do you think about it?"
Taylor was a little surprised by the manager's reaction, if in the past, even if he was a billionaire, as long as this place was chartered, the manager would politely send people out.
Now she brought someone directly, and the only answer was that this person should also be of great help to her.
The manager had known her for years, and Taylor smiled at him and nodded. Look at the Asian man.
The Asian man, who was in his thirties or 40s, had somewhat messy hair and looked a little scruffy, with a raunchy look that made Taylor frown.
"Hello Taylor, I'm Wen Zihao. Fast & Furious 7, the director of Chainsaw. Wen Ziren stretched out his hand, ready to shake Taylor's hand.
Taylor knew who it was as soon as she heard the name, and if it was another director, she might not know it yet. But Wen Ziren is a well-known figure in Hollywood today.
In 2015, which just ended, the release of "Fast and Furious 7" was a topic of conversation at the beginning, and the death of the protagonist Paul in a car accident made countless people regret.
At that time, the film used the latest technology, and all the scenes involving Paul in the movie were done with computer special effects.
In the end, the audience didn't see the difference, which caused a lot of buzz at the time.
Taylor actually didn't go to see the movie, she liked some literary movies. Movies like Fast & Furious 7 that totally popcorn man adrenaline. She wasn't very interested.
But the movie came out with a song that made her very concerned.
See you again "Goodbye" was the song that was directly airborne to the first place on the announcement list with the movie at the time, and now it is also hovering in the top ten, if it weren't for Adele and Xia Ge coming out, this song is estimated to occasionally win the first place.
Taylor also enthusiastically stretched out his hand and shook it and smiled: "Hello Director Wen, I like the soundtrack of your movie very much. β
Wen Ziren joked: "Haha, my movies are all horror sound effects, do you also like jigsaws?"
Breathing with Wen Ziren and talking about chainsaw horror, Taylor waved her hand again and again, she would never watch this kind of blood-spattered horror movie in her life, unless Xia Ge accompanied her.
"It's the song goodbye, Director Wen, please take a seat. Are you here for us today?" Taylor asked curiously as he beckoned Wen Ziren to sit down.
The manager saw that the two were talking happily and immediately led the people away. The charm of a Hollywood director, even Taylor can't refuse.
Xia Ge saw a Chinese man sitting with Taylor, and did not continue to play the piano, but returned to Taylor.
"Who is this?" Xia Ge said strangely as he sat next to Taylor and pointed to Wen Ziren opposite.
This person was wearing a black leather jacket, he looked quite trendy, and he should not be Chinese, but Chinese in the United States.
"I'm here to find Xia Ge, hello Xia Ge, I'm Wen Ziren, a director. Wen Ziren stood up and shook Xia Ge's hand.
"Oh, Director Wen, I've seen your Chainsaw Horror, and last year's Fast and Furious 7, I'm a fan of yours. Xia Ge said happily after listening.
Wen Ziren is the only director who is also internationally famous in addition to director Ang Lee.
When Xia Ge used to be an otaku, in addition to playing games, one of his big hobbies was watching movies, so he admired Wen Ziren, a rare Chinese director in Hollywood.
He didn't expect to meet Wen Ziren here today.
"Director Wen, let's stay and eat together today, let's talk while eating, and a few friends will come over later." Xia Ge invited with a smile.
Wen Ziren originally came for Xia Ge, so naturally he would not refuse, and immediately agreed with a smile.
"Actually, I wanted to come to Xia Ge for a long time, I have a movie plan, I think you are very suitable, but I haven't been able to find you before, and after I happened to attend the fashion show today and saw you, I have been staring at you. Wen Ziren continued apologetically.
"I'm sorry, I came with you without your permission, it's a rare opportunity. β
Everyone is so sincere, Taylor and Xia Ge are not angry. Taylor was curious: "What kind of movie is it? Xia has never acted, he is a singer!"
Let Xia Ge sing, or write a song, Taylor is still more intense.
But Wen Ziren asked Xia Ge to make a movie, which is really a bit strange.
Now Wen Ziren's fame in Hollywood, the movies he makes never lose money, and he is a sweet and sweet in the eyes of the five major Hollywood companies.
As long as the movie starts, there are people queuing up to give money.
The new film plan is at least a big production of hundreds of millions of dollars.
"Director Wen, I really haven't acted. Xia Ge also shook his head and said.
He will only return to China next month to contact filming, but he is filming an online drama.
The gap between a web drama on the Chinese kiwifruit platform and a movie by a well-known American director is like heaven and earth.
"No, this movie is perfect for you, it can be said that it is tailor-made for you. The movie I wanted to make was called The Crowded Room, and it was a multi-personality story with 24 personalities. Wen Ziren said excitedly.
He wants to rely on this movie to hit some medals, and now he is very famous, but it is all commercial film fame.
Wen Ziren really wants to follow the path that Ang Lee has walked and try to see if he can impact Hollywood. became the second Chinese best director in Hollywood.
As soon as Xia Ge heard it, he knew that he was talking about 24 Billy. In order not to be suspected, Xia Ge also used this as an excuse.
Many people have been attacking him with this, saying that he is a psychopath.
Seeing that Xia Ge was silent, Wen Ziren said excitedly: "When I first saw the introduction program about you, I felt that this movie was tailor-made for you. You have too many similarities, you just need to perform in your true colors, which is the best acting skills. β
Xia Ge didn't speak after listening, in fact, the equipment of the split personality is indeed very suitable for acting.
But at the beginning of the entertainment industry, Xia Ge didn't want to mix, and if he came to Hollywood to film, he would have to delay a lot of time.
Xia Ge said without hesitation: "Director Wen, I don't have time for at least half a year, I need to think about this matter." β
The thickest Xia Ge did not give a specific answer, his itinerary was already full.
is about to carry out a large-scale event, and after returning to China, he will enter the Lao Jiumen crew. I also had to ask for leave to complete the task of 100,000 people playing Tai Chi and go to the depths of Qingcheng Mountain to find a master.
I really didn't have time to come to the United States to make this movie, the crowded room was amazing, and it took a lot of time to shoot it when it was adapted into a movie.
Wen Ziren was not surprised when he heard this, he was now facing a billionaire, so he was ready to fight a protracted battle before coming.
He has to try his best to persuade Xia Ge to participate in this movie, which is his only chance to live in Hollywood.
Wen Ziren decided to tell the story!
must make Xia Ge sympathize with him, and finally agree to participate in the performance.
"Xia Ge, in fact, I've been working with Universal, and the Fast and Furious 7 that has just been released is with them. It's actually a pleasure to work with, but I'm not willing to make commercial movies or horror movies all my life. Wen Ziren said seriously.
Xia Ge remained silent, but Taylor secretly said in his heart that you are unwilling to care about our.
Seeing that Xia Ge was not going to participate in the show, Taylor didn't want to eat with Wen Ziren.
Taylor has no idea of entering the film industry, so he can look at Wen Ziren with a normal heart.
"It's not easy for us Chinese to get ahead in the United States, especially Hollywood is a very xenophobic place, Ang Lee won the first Oscar because of the same sex, and the academy had to give it to him at that time, but since that time, Ang Lee has been silent for many years, and he has offended many people. Wen Ziren said slowly.
Xia Ge said strangely: "Didn't he get it once in 12 years?"
Wen Ziren was suddenly a little embarrassed, and wanted to say that it was difficult for Chinese people to be in Hollywood, but there was a ready-made example and won two Oscars.
How can this make people answer, Wen Ziren had no choice but to say: "Okay, let's not talk about director Ang Lee, but do you see Ang Lee, do we Chinese directors still win awards, and do Chinese actors win Oscars?"
"In fact, discrimination has always been there, and Ang Lee's award is not as simple as it seems. I can only say that it is a coincidence, I hope you can participate, we cooperate in this crowded room, this movie Warner is very attentive, as long as you participate, I will let them do my best to help you hit the Oscar for Best Actor!"
Hearing this, Xia Ge became a little interested.
There is really no Chinese in Hollywood who has won the Best Actor, even Uncle Long, who won a Hollywood Lifetime Achievement Award. In fact, it's similar to a consolation prize.
If he can win an Oscar, the prestige will be at its peak.
Even people in China will definitely offer him, this is the light of the Chinese.
Of course, it's pretty much the same now, and if his songs win a few grammys, it will also break the previous record.
With the rise of the country, national self-confidence is also improving, and everyone used to feel that China was inferior to others.
But as more and more aspects surpass foreign countries, everyone is becoming more and more confident.
Now that you have a Grammy or an Oscar, you can strengthen everyone's self-confidence even more.
Xia Ge blinked, and his heart was a little moved.
It's not difficult to shoot 24 billys, he believes that any split equipment can be solved, and if it doesn't work, it will take a little more mental power.
Seeing that Xia Ge still hadn't changed much, Wen Ziren continued to increase: "Xia Ge, I'm in transition, so I bid farewell to the cooperation between Universal and Warner. In addition to this crowded room, I also have a hero movie that costs $300 million, Aquaman! If you are willing to help me, then I will do my best to make you participate in Aquaman. β
"Well, Aquaman is white......" Taylor couldn't help but say.
"It's okay, it's okay after Xia puts on makeup, he's too white. Wen Ziren waved his hand.
Taylor thought of Xia Ge pretending to be her, nodded and didn't speak.
In fact, many Asians are really white, and they are not the white people with large pores and delicate skin.
More white than whites.
"Aquaman, I'm not interested. Xia Ge shook his head and said.
Wen Ziren's eyes lit up, the Sea King was not interested, and the crowded room was there!
Xia Ge was also looking at Wen Ziren, wanting to hear what else he could say.
To his surprise, he actually read something on Wen Ziren.
It's also a movie, he thought it was a crowded room, but what shocked him was that it turned out to be "Joker"!
"This Wen Dao is too strong. Xia Ge muttered in his heart.
"I just listened to the song you sang, you are going to release a single, and I can also give you a free music video for you! The crowded room will get a share of the movie box office, and the salary will be 10 million US dollars. Wen Ziren said.
"The specific salary should be able to be increased, with your current popularity, maybe the 20 million club can also give it a try!" Wen Ziren took out the last bargaining chip.
Xia Ge is relatively calm about money because of the relationship between Bita coins. Taylor can mix in with Hollywood's top actors as soon as he hears Xia Ge. hugged Xia Ge's arm excitedly.
At this moment, the manager led a Chinese girl into the restaurant, and saw the picture of Taylor holding Xia Ge, and the thing in his hand fell to the ground with a snap.
