Chapter 447 The victory of the paparazzi

In a small bar in Los Angeles, a News Corp.-affiliated reporter Odreans is secretly filming two Asian men in the corner of the bar.

As the world's largest gossip media, the subordinate paparazzi are all over Europe and the United States, except for Asia, where they can rarely be seen, as long as there are stars and celebrities in this world, you can see the shadow of the paparazzi.

And Odreans is one of the top paparazzi among them.

Looking at the two Asian men who were talking happily not far away, Odream felt a little disappointed, and even didn't want to waste the film for candid shooting.

You must know that when he finally found out the news that Peng Yichen would quietly return to the Star Flag Country today through the airline's internal line yesterday, he was still very excited.

As the hottest young director and actor in Hollywood today, Peng Yichen, his pure life and marriage are the most hated by the paparazzi.

Countless paparazzi dream of being able to discover Peng Yichen's scandal or stain, so that they can make a lot of money, and by the way, they will become famous in the entire paparazzi industry.

It's a pity that none of the paparazzi have succeeded, Peng Yichen seems to be really a workaholic and a saint, in addition to being with his wife Yu Jing on weekdays, he is making movies.

There are simply no breaking points and news to dig into.

This time, Peng Yichen quietly returned to the Star Flag Country, and did not go to Pittsburgh, the location of the crew of the new movie with him cooperated with Summit Entertainment for the first time.

Instead, I came to Los Angeles as if I was going on a date with some secret person.

Odreans thought that he had finally caught Peng Yichen's "tail" and could get a super big news.

However, what he never expected was that Peng Yichen came to Los Angeles not to date a woman at all, but to meet an Asian man!

Regardless of whether that guy is Peng Yichen's friend, relative, or partner, unless the two men kiss and announce their coming out, the news is worthless.

But thinking that Peng Yichen's children are about to be born, the possibility of him coming out is almost zero.

Even if he takes more photos of two people now, he will sell them for a few hundred dollars at most, and he will not even be able to collect the benefits he paid to the informant.

But thinking of his empty pocket, Odlans still quietly took the camera and secretly took a few photos of Peng Yichen.

A few hundred dollars can't make up for your losses, but it's better than not getting any money at all.

In the paparazzi industry of the Star Flag Country, the competitive pressure is too great.

Celebrities like Justin Bieber and Britney Spears have at least 40 paparazzi guarding them every day.

Top Hollywood stars such as Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Leonardo DiCaprio are also accompanied by more than a dozen or twenty paparazzi at any time.

Odreans is reluctant to go to the stars who have been famous for a long time.

Because he knows that unless there is a major scandal in those stars, they can't shoot anything too valuable at all.

Because they have been fighting wits and courage with the paparazzi all year round, they have long been tempered invulnerable, and it is not so easy to make a big news from them.

Therefore, Odreans often chooses newcomer stars who have just become popular and popular to follow.

These newcomers tend not to be too wary of the paparazzi, and it is easier to get some news that can make a lot of money.

If it was last year, Peng Yichen, the Chinese director, would not be the object that the paparazzi of the Star Flag Country could notice at all.

But two months ago, it just detonated the world, and the popularity of this Chinese director instantly rose to the level of a top Hollywood star.

That's when Odlans began to notice the young man.

Of course, in the beginning he also had a lot of competitors, at least two dozen people.

But because of Peng Yichen's extremely regular life and workaholic style without news, these paparazzi basically gave up tracking Peng Yichen.

In the end, only Odream was left alone, and he still paid attention to Peng Yichen, he always felt that he could get the big news he wanted from Peng Yichen.

And this time, the reason why Odlans spent a lot of money was to track Peng Yichen. In addition to hoping to photograph him dating other women.

What's more, after Peng Yichen returned to Los Angeles, Odream found a small ball of paper from the garbage thrown out of his villa.

For this, he also gave twenty dollars to the workers who collected the garbage.

On that piece of paper, there were some very vague drawings that looked like the script of a movie storyboard.

This kind of thing is rare, and what can be found in general garbage is paper scraps that have been processed by a shredder.

What made Odream even more excited was that there was a vague drawing of a bat on the paper......

This gave Odreans a premonition that he would finally get the big news.

It's just that I didn't expect that in the end, Peng Yichen was just dating an Asian man he didn't know at all.

He had no choice but to listen to the conversation between Peng Yichen and the man on the other side with his ears pricked up, while comforting himself that he could always find the big news he wanted.

……

"You know, Director Peng, I like action movies very much, and thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. But the significance to Hua Na is extraordinary, are you sure you can put me on the crew as an assistant director?" the Asian man asked, somewhat uncertain.

Peng Yichen smiled and looked at the Chinese man in front of him.

In the previous life, this series, which had been filmed all over the world, also revitalized this most hardcore spy series of movies.

But in this life, for some reason, this Chinese man knows that he is still unknown today, has only shot one or two independent films, and is still a nobody in Hollywood.

But Peng Yichen has seen the two movies he made in his life, which are definitely excellent works above the level, but unfortunately because of the problem of publicity, the final box office results are very average.

That's right, the person Peng Yichen met this time was the famous Chinese director in his previous life-Lin Yibin.

The Chinese-American director was born on October 11, 1971 in Taipei, Taiwan, China.

In 2005, he directed his first mainstream film for the first time.

The film is invested by Disney's Touchstone Pictures, starring James Franco and others.

After that, he directed, and when it was released in 2006, it became a global hit, with a total box office of more than $150 million.

In 2009, he directed a global box office of $360 million.

In 2011, he directed more than $650 million worldwide and 250 million yuan in China.

Peng Yichen clearly remembers that in his previous life, Lin Yibin once set the highest average box office record for a Chinese director in Hollywood.

The box office surpassed John Woo's $500 million, setting a record for the highest single film by a Chinese American director in Hollywood.

Next to the clean round table, Peng Yichen took a sip of beer with a smile and said: "Regarding the matter of arranging for you to join the crew and serve as an assistant director, you can rest assured! When filming starts, I estimate that the president of Time Hua Na will be Robinov, and I will serve as the chairman of the board of directors." The director is Nolan, and he has agreed to let you be an assistant director. When it's released, I hope you'll be able to be the director of a commercial action movie. At that time, I will write you a script for a series of films, and you will be the director. What do you think?"

Lin Yibin took a deep breath, he didn't understand how such good luck could befall him.

He looked at Peng Yichen on the opposite side seriously and said, "Can I know why I chose me?"

Peng Yichen replied with a smile: "I have seen the two independent films you have shot before, which are very good, and you are the most familiar Chinese director in Hollywood, and our Chen Jing Film Company is in need of such a director to join." ”

"So, can I take the liberty of asking, what is the name of the series of movies you plan to let me shoot, and what is the approximate plot?" Lin Yibin smiled embarrassedly: "You know, I don't mean anything else, I just want to know what the movie I am about to direct is like." I can sign a non-disclosure agreement if necessary. ”

"No, you don't have to sign a non-disclosure agreement. What I want you to shoot is a series of movies called the story of a movie about a very real agent. The biggest selling point of this movie is not the story, but the extremely realistic way the film is filmed, allowing the audience to see the real life of an agent. Peng Yichen shook his hand and said with a smile.

Lin Yibin nodded and said with a smile: "I understand." Thank you very much, Director Peng, for giving me such a rare opportunity. I think I would like to sign a contract with Chenjing Film Company and become the company's contracted director. ”

Hearing this, Peng Yichen raised the beer glass in his hand with a smile, "Come, I wish our future cooperation can be smooth together." ”

Lin Yibin also raised the wine glass in his hand reservedly, touched it with Peng Yichen, and said with a smile: "Okay, I wish us all the best in our future cooperation!"

The two chatted a few more words, and Peng Yichen took out a business card and handed it to Lin Yibin.

This is the business card of the general manager of the North American branch of Chen Jing Film Company.

Lin Yibin took the business card, and went to this general manager tomorrow, so that he could complete the contract with Chen Jing Film Company and become a contracted director of the company.

Of course, neither of them noticed that not far away, the paparazzi Odream was excitedly turning off the military voice recorder he had bought at a large price.

Peng Yichen's signing with a Chinese director is not big news, and it is not this incident that excites Odreams.

It is the three extremely important information that Peng Yichen just revealed in his words.

In order of importance.

The most common piece of information is: Peng Yichen and Chen Jing Film Company want to shoot a series of films specifically for the European and American film markets, and the theme of the movie should be a spy action movie, and the name of the movie is: .

A relatively important piece of information is: Peng Yichen and Times Hua Na intend to reboot this series of movies, and the director is Nolan. I just don't know if Peng Yichen will play one of the roles.

And one of the most important pieces of information is: before the start of filming, Robinov will become the president of Time Warna, and Peng Yichen will serve as the chairman of the board of directors. This means that Time Hua Na will change from the Bix era to the era of Robinov and Peng Yichen.

This is unparalleled big news for the entire Hollywood, and even the entire Star Flag Country.

For the first two pieces of information, Odreans will find a way to sell them at a good price first, and it is estimated that they can make $1 or $20,000 at least.

As for the latter piece of news, he must press it in his own hands and find a suitable time to sell it at a "sky-high price".

And Peng Yichen still doesn't know anything about it.

He flew to Pittsburgh on the same day, where he had a thrilling "prison break" before filming began.
