Chapter 311 First Meeting

The next day, in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, in front of a huge villa.

Peng Yichen and his entourage were private with Trison, sitting on the sofa and drinking coffee boringly.

They had been sitting here and waiting, without anyone paying any attention to them, for a full three hours.

The assistant and the lawyer in the legal department were a little impatient, but Peng Yichen didn't have any expression, very leisurely holding a Los Angeles daily newspaper, easily browsing the recent news of the Star Flag Country.

At this time, in a luxurious living room on the second floor of the villa, an actor audition was underway.

As the only interviewer for this audition, Jeff Bickers, who was just in his early 50s, looked at the actors performing in front of him with appreciative eyes, like an elegant scholar.

If it weren't for his pale blue eyes, which flashed with a hint of edge from time to time, I'm afraid no one would have imagined that this man would have been the king of the huge media and entertainment empire of Time Hua Na for nearly 20 years.

After a while, the auditioner in front of him finished his performance, and Jeff Bicks gently led the way and applauded.

Then, in a casual moment, he turned his head and asked the assistant behind him, "How is the person from Huaxia?"

His assistant didn't dare to delay, and immediately replied: "His patience is very strong, and he can't see any impatient expression at all for such a long time......"

"What does the person in charge of our branch in Huaxia say about this young director?"

"Talented director and actor who are very good at balancing the artistic and commercial elements of the film......"

"Well, that's pretty much what I know. ”

"Supposedly he hired Trison as his advisor?"

"Yes, Trisson offered them a very high service fee, but they paid it without any hesitation. ”

"He seems to be a very ambitious person. Did the project review team give an evaluation of the script of the low-budget film he sent over yesterday afternoon?"

"The preliminary evaluation given by the jury is that this is a very creative anti-genre film, and the film profoundly satirizes some of the common problems of Xingqi and Huaxia. And it is very much in line with the taste of ordinary audiences in the Star Flag Country in recent years. is the violent element in the movie, which may have been deliberately reduced a lot because of taking care of the Chinese market. Let the movie probably lose the support of die-hard fans of this genre of movies. ”

Indeed, Mr. Robinoff, the leader of the judging panel, said that according to the script he provided, as long as his directing skills are not too bad, the odds of getting a high box office in North America are more than 70. ”

This is a very high evaluation that Robinov rarely gives. Well, let me see if he's a young man worth the investment. ”

As soon as Jeff Bicks' words fell, the assistant nodded to the staff next to him, and the staff quickly opened the door to the living room.

At this time, Peng Yichen and Trison, who were waiting outside, got the opportunity to enter the hall.

Peng Yichen walked into the living room first, and immediately found that there was an unusually elegant hall in front of him.

In this huge space of more than 10 rooms, the best works of art from all over the world are placed on the walls, tables, and floors.

Just a living room made Peng Yichen feel like walking into a museum.

At this time, Peng Yichen realized that what he had just heard faintly outside the door was the sound of someone reading lines.

And the tone of this person's voice seemed to be somewhat familiar, but Peng Yichen couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"Professor Trison! The first to greet him was the middle-aged man who was sitting next to Jeff Bicks just now, evaluating Peng Yichen.

He shook Trisson's hand directly: "I didn't expect to meet again so soon!"

Trisson smiled and replied, "I didn't expect that either. Let me introduce you to you, this is director Peng Yichen. One of the best directors in China today. This time, he was invited by Hua Na to come to the Star Flag Country to discuss cooperation with you. ”

After speaking, Trisson turned his face to Peng Yichen again, and introduced with a smile:

"Director Peng, this is Mr. Jeff Robinoff. The vice chairman of Time Hua Na Group, who is responsible for the film business, and Keventer Suhara, who is in charge of digital home entertainment, and Bruce Rosenbaum, who is in charge of TV business, are called the troika of Time Hua Na. ”

Before Peng Yichen came, he had a special understanding of the helmsman of Hua Na Pictures.

This has helped Hua Na Pictures to dominate Hollywood for ten consecutive years.

In Peng Yichen's previous life, he would be squeezed out of the high-level circle by Times Hua Na Company in October next year, and finally ended with his voluntary resignation.

And with his departure, Hua Na Pictures' cooperation with its eight-year-long ally, Legendary Pictures, has also come to an end.

You must know that in the past eight years, almost all the money-making movies produced by Hua Na have been produced by Legendary Pictures.

From this, it can be seen that the relationship between Robinov and Legendary Pictures must be extraordinary.

So much so that after Times Hua Na kicked out Robinov, he immediately gave up cooperation with a profitable production company like Legendary Pictures.

At the same time, Peng Yichen also knew that this Mr. Robinov was a Hollywood traditionalist who supported that movies must be decided by film professionals.

He was very disgusted with Wall Street's manipulation of Hollywood, but most of the films he chose to set up a project were so successful that even Wall Street people couldn't do anything with him.

In the end, he could only be kicked out of the company through roundabout means.

Suddenly, Peng Yichen's heart moved, and he felt that this person would definitely play a very big role in his future entry into Hollywood.

Thinking of this, Peng Yichen's mind immediately flashed Robinoff's birthplace: Pennsylvania.

So, he smiled and stretched out his hand, in a Pennsylvania accent, shook hands with the other person, and said, "Hello, Mr. Robinoff, it's a pleasure to meet you." I hope that in our future cooperation, both sides can obtain satisfactory benefits. ”

As soon as Peng Yichen opened his mouth with an authentic Pennsylvania accent, all the people of the Star Banner country present were stunned for a moment.

Robinov, in particular, was more like an alien, staring at Peng Yichen closely.

What the hell is this!

To know the English pronunciation of Pennsylvania, it is difficult for many people in the Star Flag country to learn.

But now Peng Yichen's English accent speaks even better than Robinov, who was born there!?

This made Robinov immediately have a good impression of this young excessive director.

Peng Yichen saw the other party's reaction, and was also very satisfied with the effect of his continuous learning of English dialects and slang from all over the world in the past few years.

In his previous life, when Peng Yichen was just a trick actor, he learned all the dialects from all over the country.

Now his vision is no longer limited to China, of course, he has to hone the accents of various dialects of English, the world's common language.

Because he believes that sooner or later he will enter the international film market, and being able to speak English accents from all over the world will definitely help him a lot in his performance and social networking.

"I'm sorry, because of the audition for the actor in a movie, you have to wait too long. Robinov smiled and shook Peng Yichen's hand, and then led the group into the depths of the living room.

When they came to the depths of the living room, Peng Yichen and the three of them saw a slender man with an elegant temperament sitting on the sofa with a cigar in one hand and his back to them.

And on the couch next to him, there was also a man sitting there writing and drawing.

In front of the two, there are two male actors who are performing the same plot.

They were facing one direction, all of them showing great seriousness and devotion, with an impassioned look, one foot on the bench, and said aloud:

"One day someone will stand up. One day someone will say: "We've had enough"

"I tell you that we humans have never fought for you so-called gods, but for our lovers and lovers. Therefore, I refuse to be your so-called God. ”

……

Peng Yichen watched the performances of the two and found that although their performance methods were more expressionist, they had incorporated a lot of methodological techniques.

It seems that the world has not developed a mature experiential and methodological theory of performance.

But the actors are still improving their acting skills in their own way.

Of course, in Peng Yichen's opinion, the craftsmanship of these two actors is still a bit heavy, and his own current performance level should have steadily surpassed these two people.

When he got closer and took a closer look, he found that the two handsome actors turned out to be: Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt and popular rising star Sam Worthington......

At this time, the man sitting on the sofa writing and painting happened to raise his head and met Peng Yichen's eyes.

Peng Yichen suddenly gasped, and turned out to be his favorite British director Christopher Nolan in his previous life.

You must know that since the day he first came to this world, he has been paying attention to celebrities in the film industry of various countries.

Although European and American movies are the least different from his previous life, except for movies adapted from comics, other original film works have basically not appeared.

Among the stars in the film and television industry in Europe and the United States, many famous directors and actors are also very different from their previous lives.

Nolan, as a director he liked very much in his previous life, has always been the object of his greatest attention.

But for 5 years, he never found any information about "Christopher Nolan" from various European and American media news.

Why did he suddenly appear in the house of the president of Time Hua Na now?

That's right...... The lines that the two Hollywood stars said just now, how could it be the battle of the gods?

Are they picking the male protagonist of the battle of the gods?

Didn't Nolan shoot Inception this year?

Now he has become the director of the battle of the gods.

It's messed up, the world is in chaos.

Peng Yichen only hopes at this time that the high-level turmoil of Times Hua Na will come as scheduled next year.

Turning around and looking at Robinoff who walked in with him, Peng Yichen felt that his future trip to Hollywood would be very interesting.
