The weather in Las Vegas in March is completely different from that in New York. Not only is it not cold, but it is also a little hot at noon.

In Daddy's Bar, the crew of "Former Destination" are all scattered and resting.

The morning's filming has ended, and it's time for the crew to take a lunch break.

At the door of the bar, under a huge sun umbrella, Natalie, wearing sunglasses, was sitting in a recliner and reading the script in her hand seriously, discussing a few words with Peng Yichen sitting opposite from time to time.

But if others listen to what the two are saying, they may only be confused.

"I'm a woman on this plane, so I can only make this choice, after all, I'm still dreaming of marrying someone at this time. Natalie said with a frown.

Peng Yichen smiled and shook his head: "No, although I am a woman in this time and space, but because there are male ** officials in my body after all, in fact, at this time, I have already begun to have some interest in women, so this choice is just an accident, not a necessity." ”

The crew members who passed by next to them, after listening to the conversation between the two, felt that it was no different from the spells of ancient times, and they couldn't understand what they were talking about at all.

Indeed, "Former Destination" was originally a very brain-burning story.

Throughout the movie, the hero and heroine are a person, abandoning themselves, falling in love with themselves, having children with themselves, introducing themselves to the Time and Space Administration, and finally snatching their own children and abandoning them.

It's basically a story that travels through time to make oneself.

If you don't have a comprehensive understanding of the whole story framework.

Anyone who sees this movie or the script for the first time will be confused.

Peng Yichen once took the script and showed it to all the people around him, but no one could understand the story when he read it for the first time.

The fastest to understand this story was precisely Natalie, a talented Hollywood girl who only understood the story when she read the script for the third time.

This may be why she is willing to accept Peng Yichen's invitation to play the heroine.

The story itself has a unique charm that can make smart people who like to play mind games feel the thrill of adrenaline rushing.

Natalie looked at Peng Yichen in front of her and asked with some confusion, "Okay, you're right." However, I wonder very much why you were able to come up with this story. No matter how you look at it, this is a pseudo-science fiction movie with a very feminist idea. It's not like the work of the director who can shoot "The Country Teacher". ”

Peng Yichen replied with a smile: "No, you just said it wrong. "The Country Teacher" is about poverty and civilization, and "Former Destination" is about desire and narcissism, which are the eternal topics of human society. The core of the two movies is actually in the same vein. ”

Natalie flipped through the script again and said helplessly, "Okay, I admit that what you said makes sense. It seems that I am really not suitable to be a screenwriter or director. Your brain structure is indeed different from that of ordinary people. ”

She smiled bitterly and took off the big sunglasses on her face, revealing the charm of a mature young woman between her delicate facial features.

Where can you see that this is the pure and immature Matilda in "This Killer is Not Too Cold".

Natalie put down the script, looked at Peng Yichen with a smile, and asked, "But I have another question, I heard that Chen Jing Film Company acquired Legendary Pictures?"

Peng Yichen interrupted her and corrected: "From a legal perspective, it was China Time Warner that acquired Legendary Pictures, not Chen Jing Film Company. ”

Natalie rolled her eyes and smiled, "That's all the same for me." I don't care about these malls. I'm just wondering, is your company going to let Legendary Pictures make a movie called Inception?"

Peng Yichen frowned when he heard this, but he knew that Natalie was Jewish, and her connections in Hollywood allowed her to always know a lot of things that were not clear to the outside world.

So he wasn't too angry.

"Yes, there is. What, you've got a crush on the characters in this movie?"

Natalie nodded, but shook her head again, "I did get interested in this movie. But that has to be if you're the director, and if it's Nolan, the Englishman, I'm not very interested in the film. ”

Peng Yichen subconsciously rubbed his chin.

Only then did he realize that Hollywood not only has the power of traditional filmmakers and financial conglomerates, but among the traditional filmmakers, it is also divided into Jews and Anglo-Saxons.

Mel Gibson, a top Hollywood star who relied on "Braveheart" to succeed at the Oscars, was completely banned for ten years for filming an anti-Semitic "The Passion of the Christ" and insulting Jews while drunk.

It wasn't until Peng Yichen crossed over that he returned to Hollywood with a "Bloody Battle Hacksaw Ridge".

But even then, he only dared to be the director behind the scenes, and did not dare to return to the big screen.

This is one of the most well-known examples of the feud between Jews and Anglo-Saxons in Hollywood.

"I know what you mean, I shouldn't be making Inception, but I guess I'll make Superman in a year, and there should be Batman and Catwoman in that movie. Are you interested?"

"Superman, Batman, Catwoman, don't you Warners have a Nolan's "Batman" going to be released this year?

Peng Yichen smiled and asked noncommittally: "You don't care about this, I'll ask you if you are interested in the role of Catwoman?"

"If it's the Marvel or Black Widow kind, forget it!" replied Natalie with some lack of interest.

She no longer needs to rely on the popularity of superhero movies to increase her value.

Now this talented woman in Hollywood will only choose those roles with some depth.

If there is no challenge, she is not willing to be on the big screen, just a vase.

Peng Yichen has been playing against Natalie for more than 1 month, how can he not understand her character.

He smiled and shook his head, "No, you're wrong. I didn't want to make a DC copy of The Avengers. What I want is a reboot of the Watchmen series. ”

"Watchmen?!"

Natalie was really taken aback.

You must know that when "Watchmen" was first released in 2009, countless film critics were very optimistic about this movie.

It was the first film with that big ambition to bring together all the superheroes of DC Comics in one movie.

And the release time of "Watchmen" is more than 3 years earlier than "The Avengers", which was only released in May 2012.

But in the end, the movie was a mess, and it almost made Warner sell DC Comics directly.

Peng Yichen nodded with a smile and asked, "Yes, the Warden series!" ”

Natalie thought about it calmly, and suddenly smiled: "If it were other directors, I wouldn't dare!, but if it was you, then I would definitely try." This Catwoman, you leave it to me. Filming starts in the second half of 2013, right? ”

"Oh, so confident in me?!" Peng Yichen said with a somewhat teasing smile.

"Hehe, if you are an Oscar-winning actress, but you are willing to be taught a month-long performance by a person younger than yourself. You'll have faith in this guy too!" Natalie laughed self-deprecatingly.

In the past month, Peng Yichen's performance has indeed shocked her.

A woman's instinct told her that with Peng Yichen, her future development must be even better than now.

When Peng Yichen heard Natalie's words, he pretended to be narcissistic and said, "Okay, I have to admit that what you said is indeed very reasonable. ”

"I'm defeated by your narcissism!" Natalie pretended to be struck and couldn't get up from her recliner.

"Haha, okay, you continue to read the script, I'm going to discuss the shooting plan with Lao Zhao for the afternoon. Peng Yichen stood up, and after saying goodbye to Natalie, he turned around and went to find Zhao Liansheng.
