Chapter 159: Cultural Differences
Liu Yifei came to Hawaii, not so much for vacation and rest, but actually as an escape.
Since the dispute with HY, her acting career has not been very smooth.
Although her position is quite stable with the popularity and audience popularity accumulated in the 10 years since her debut, unlike her solo in 2008, in recent years, she has clearly felt the footsteps of others catching up.
Yang Mi became famous with last year's "Palace Lock Heart Jade";
Liu Shi's "Step by Step" this year set off another ratings boom;
Even Tang Tang, after starring in many silly white sweet idol dramas, gradually stabilized his position by virtue of his numerical advantage.
Only yourself......
Since 2006's "The Condor Heroes", Liu Yifei has never starred in a TV series, and his first work "The King of Kung Fu" on the big screen, although it got a box office of 145 million in 2008, but from Liu Yifei's own point of view, this movie is really not a success.
The export of medieval culture, the catering of the commercial market, and the alienation of half-baked piracy......
If the Jade Emperor speaks English, it can also be interpreted as the language of the movie is unified, for example, if the whole universe speaks English, then the logic of the Jade God of War running to destroy people is simply wonderful.
Please, are you a fairy, take a large team of people and horses, run down to the mortal world and kill the whole family of a state official?...
Do you dare to go a little lower?
If this kind of thing is not blessed by the aura of Jacky Cheng and Jet Li, and without Li Bingbing, one of the four Dan Double Ices, no matter from any angle, it is the fate of hitting the street to the end.
But in the end, she still chose to compromise......
Today, four years later, she can't even find a film that can be called a masterpiece.
This can be called a kind of irony for Liu Yifei, who was ambitious and wanted to move to the big screen.
However, to say that there is no gain at all on the road to the big screen, in fact, it is not necessarily true.
At least in the crew of "The Four Famous Catches", she met Deng Chao.
In the past few days in Hawaii, Liu Yifei has completely stayed away from everything in the spotlight, free and free, living as she likes, until Deng Chao, who has not been seen for a long time, called and said that he had recommended her to the director of his current play.
Regarding the "Chinese Partner" that Deng Chao is starring, Liu Yifei still knows some things.
For example, its investors include China Film Group and Optical Fiber Media.
For example, its three major male protagonists gathered Wang Xiaoming and Deng Chao,
For example, its director is said to be very young......
But it wasn't until Li Mo stood in front of her, stretched out his right hand to her, and introduced himself that Liu Yifei could be regarded as connecting the director of "Chinese Partner" with the big boy in front of him who showed eight teeth with a smile, intertwined with sunshine and calmness.
I've heard that he's two years younger than me......
This is the last thought that Liu Yifei clearly remembers......
…………
Li Mo felt that Liu Yifei's state was a little ...... Well, there's something wrong.
From the time she introduced herself, Liu Yifei seemed to have lost her soul, except for taking the initiative to invite Li Mo to her current residence for a detailed discussion, most of the feedback on other words was 'um', 'good' and the like.
If Li Mo hadn't confirmed that he and Ma Qiao hadn't done anything to Liu Yifei, Liu Yifei's current state could be said to be completely in line with the legendary situation of 'evil spirit'......
"Could it be that the god of the sea in Hawaii has appeared?" Li Mo muttered speechlessly, beckoning Ma Qiao to follow Liu Yifei honestly towards the way he came.
Knock knock knock......
When the Asian old lady opened the door for the second time, the embarrassment on Li Mo's face almost condensed into substance.
If you want to say that the address is wrong, it's just that you haven't seen anyone, obviously the address is right, people just say that there is no such person, what kind of is this.
After the Asian old lady opened the door, she saw the faces of Li Mo and Ma Qiao again, and her brows naturally wrinkled, "Young man, I said that there is no such person here as you said, why do you ...... Crystal, are you back?"
"Huh?" Listening to the name that popped out of the old lady's mouth, Li Mo vaguely felt that it seemed that today's incident would have to be dumped on him in the end.
Before Li Mo could explain, Liu Yifei, who had been in a state of wandering spirit, finally returned to normal, she walked around Li Mo and said hello to the old lady, "Aunt Qin, this is Li Mo, is it...... My friend introduced him. ”
"You know?"
"Well, that's the case, just now I came here to find Miss Liu with the address given to me by Brother Chao, but this old lady said that there is no one named Liu Yifei who lives here, I think there should be some misunderstanding here. ”
Although he didn't know what was going on, Li Mo still opened his mouth to explain.
"You said you were here to find Liu Yifei, but you didn't say that the person you were looking for was Crystal Liu. By this time, the old lady also felt that things were a little strange.
This young man, although a bit reckless, is really not a bad person, and now it seems that he and Crystal should know each other.
"I understand," in the end, it was Liu Yifei who reacted first, "Aunt Qin only knows that my English name is Crystal Liu, and Director Li speaks my Chinese name." ”
"When I'm abroad, I'm more used to using English names. That's probably why you have a misunderstanding. ”
Damn, I really didn't expect this......
The problem was actually caused by the cultural differences between Li Mo and Mrs. Qin between the East and the West.
One doesn't know Liu Yifei's English name, and the other doesn't know Liu Yifei's Chinese name......
Also drunk.
…………
After some explanation, Li Mo and Ma Qiao finally walked into this villa.
It's a villa, but it's more like a holiday home, the two houses are not too close to each other, and the coconut palms and tropical plants between the houses are a constant reminder of the climate here.
Old Mrs. Qin saw that Li Mo should have something to talk to Liu Yifei, and the misunderstanding just now was indeed a bit embarrassing, so after making a cup of tea for the three of them, she casually found an interface and went upstairs.
Ma Qiao also obeyed Li Mo's arrangement and went to the side to contact the hotel where he was going to stay tonight.
In the small reception room, only Li Mo and Liu Yifei were left.
"Miss Liu......"
"Although this is Hawaii, I think it may not be too comfortable for you and me to use this Western-style way of calling, after all, the meaning of the word 'miss' in Chinese is not very good. You can call me by my English name, crystal, or just by my name. ”
"Okay, Yifei...... Sister, "Although the combined age of the two lives is definitely older than the current Liu Yifei, but the form is stronger than people, Li Mo chose to accept the other party's suggestion in addition to thinking about the age of his body again, "The purpose of my visit this time is mainly to invite you to play the heroine of the movie "Get Out, Tumor". ”
"This is the script of the movie, this is the comic related to the movie, and here are some of the materials I have collected, all about the author of this comic, that is, the prototype of the heroine, Xiong Dun, you can use as a reference when reading the script and the comics. ”
"Hopefully, these things will help you understand this project. ”
After speaking, Li Mo took out the materials that had already been prepared from his box and put them on the table.
