At night, the Hollywood Center is a bit intoxicating, and there are not many passers-by on the streets, and pedestrians deliberately slow down, take a few deep breaths, and enjoy this cozy summer evening.

Beverly Hills is a gathering place for Hollywood stars, and a red carpet stretches into the Four Seasons building, with a row of machines in front of the backplate and dozens of photographers quietly gathering behind the cameras.

Passers-by along the way, looking inside with curious eyes, did not stop, probably thinking that the Four Seasons Hotel, like the rest of the entertainment venues, was just another upper-class party.

On a normal day, it's an ordinary high-end party, but on this night, the 5,000-square-foot terrace was packed with some of Hollywood's biggest names.

Under the dim light, people's eyes are fixed on the bigwigs who grasp the lifeblood of this industry, a few glasses of wine, talk and laugh are sophisticated, and they are all human feelings!

This is the premiere party of the movie "Fast Hunt", and June is a lively summer file, and this is also the summer box office predator.

The filmmakers certainly want to get more attention to the film, and the stars are happy to increase their exposure, and they don't just come to the drinks to get there, but to find jobs and strengthen their connections.

The Hollywood Reporter is the industry daily newspaper of the American entertainment industry, and together with Variety, it is known as the two authoritative newspapers, and it can always invite stars from all walks of life to get all kinds of first-hand news.

Harriman turned the camera on Kardashian, a big-ass reality TV star who had just stepped onto the red carpet, and the American favorite female star was holding her husband's hand and posing.

"Kim, look over here!"

"Can you tell us about your tapes?"

"Kanye, it is said that you are going to run for president of the United States, is this rumor true?"

Journalists all over the world are much the same, trying to take pictures while constantly asking for the latest news, most of the time they get no answers, but sometimes there are unexpected gains.

When Kardashian's plump buttocks disappeared in front of the hotel, a young Asian man appeared on the red carpet, an unfamiliar face that made reporters quite puzzled.

"Jeff, do you know him, a Hollywood newcomer?" asked Joyce, a reporter from the weekly News of the World, fiddling with his camera.

The name of the newspaper sounds frightening, but it is actually one of Hollywood's gossip tabloids, which is sold in supermarkets.

Jeff Roy, also from the gossip tabloid "National Inquirer", shook his head and said guessingly: "There are not many famous Asians in Hollywood, how can a pure newcomer get this kind of invitation to the premiere reception." Maybe he's a star on the other side of the Pacific, maybe he's a rich second generation who came to Hollywood to play, but in short, it's not newsworthy. ”

"Fast Hunt" is a movie distributed by Warner Bros., produced by Universal Pictures, and the sci-fi action movie has a good reputation, and the actors are all famous and surnamed.

These reporters couldn't even tell the nationality of the young man who strode past on the red carpet, whether he was Korean, Japanese or Chinese.

"Click"

Just when the big guys were taking advantage of this effort to rest, the reporters of two media outlets frantically pressed the shutter as if they didn't want money, eager to make the man stop.

"Zhang Chu!"

Zhang Chu, who was walking on the red carpet, had no intention of stopping, he was not a star in front of the stage, but just a person behind the scenes.

Even if he is a domestic celebrity, no one knows about it in Hollywood.

But halfway through the red carpet, I heard the words in Chinese!

Who's calling me?

Zhang Chu turned his head to find someone among the group of reporters, and two flashing lights revealed their location, one was a yellow-skinned Chinese and the other was a white-skinned middle-aged man.

He didn't stop to pose for a photo, waved and walked into the hotel.

Jeff Roy curiously asked the white man who had just been photographed, "Gray, do you know that Asian kid just now?"

Gray, who works for Empire magazine, laughs and says, "I don't know, but I saw him talking with Lee, David Nett, and David Markey yesterday when I was shooting behind the scenes on the set of Warner Bros. Maybe you should pay attention to the news I posted yesterday. ”

"Shit, you're saying that the kid is probably the main character of Life of Pi, but he doesn't look like an Indian at all!"

"Asians all look similar, otherwise why do you think he was able to attend this party?" Gray reported the news yesterday, but it was a bit vague, where is it so clear today.

But the Asian reporter next to him shook his head and said in fluent English: "You are wrong, he is not an actor, he is the author of "Youth School", called Zhang Chu. ”

Hu Yang, a special correspondent of Time.com North America, is very proud, since the mainland has become the second largest film market in the world, the status of these expatriate reporters has been much higher, so they can also take pictures with top Hollywood media.

Gray's eyes widened, "He's the one who wrote Sherlock and Life of Pi?

"That's right, it's him, and he won your British Booker Prize. Hu Yang made up for it, he seriously calculated in his heart, now the project of "Youth Pi" has only found the director and screenwriter, if he can interview Zhang Chu, maybe there are some insiders.

"It turned out to be him, but unfortunately we should ask about the movie. "Jeff Roy has some regrets.

This "Life of Pi" is probably the most headache for Hollywood stars, with an investment of up to $130 million, and an Oscar director to escort it, but there is no suitable role at all.

You can't let them play the boys, the adults, or the tigers, right?

Unbeknownst to them, after discussion, David Nate and the others decided to add the role of a male white writer to the story, which was of little use to the plot and was just an avatar of the audience.

The rest of the big-budget films can still think about the combination of the male protagonist and the female lead, and "Youth Pi" has no way to promote it from this at all.

"Warners were so confident in it, I didn't think it would make a good work. Gray complained, "It's unreasonable for me to watch two hours of drifting at sea in the cinema, and the tiger didn't eat the boy." ”

Hu Yang has lived in the United States for a long time, and he is not the kind of person who is only afraid of things, so he now stands up and defends it and says: "Maybe you should see that it is too unreasonable for the boy to not lose the tiger, and there are quite a lot of opportunities to throw the tiger off the boat." ”

"Hey, hey, relax, that movie has nothing to do with us, there's no need for that!"

Gray didn't want to spend the rest of the time in an argument, they both had to shoot here for a long time.
