Chapter 806: Public Mockery and Betting

"I just heard a joke about a singer who wants to make a movie and is ashamed to say that he wants to make a Hollywood movie, do you say it's funny or not? Can anyone make a movie? hahahaha. Le-wen-"

"That is, if the movie is so good, there will not be only so many people to make the movie. ”

"Today's young people just don't know how high the sky is, they think that the freshness will always exist, this is also a foreign language film, if they changed to an English film, they would have lost money and lost misery, can the box office have 10 million?"

"It would be nice to have a few million. ”

"I can't say that, but I'm also a well-known singer. ”

"Yes, it's a singer, the most dancing singer in the film industry, hahaha. ”

……

Four or five people were holding goblets not far away, drinking red wine while chatting and talking.

Jiang Xia came out of the bathroom, and when he passed by here, he heard them talking, which was obviously talking about him. The actors and singers in North America are very clearly distinguished, and there are occasional intersections, and singers are also invited to make cameos in the movie, and singers are not really allowed to be actors.

Therefore, in the eyes of most Hollywood filmmakers, although Jiang Xia is powerful, it is not pure.

An actor should act well, a director should do a good job of filming, what is the matter of an actor being a director? Not to mention a single, out, what are you going to do? Can you still act well?

Jiang Xia, who is not pure, has a very poor image in the Hollywood filmmaker circle.

Jiang Xia himself knew this, Andre, Gonzalez, Jessica, Jack Lucas and others had told him this, which was one of the reasons why Jiang Xia had not attended the party much.

But since he came here today, and he also heard such a public ridicule, of course Jiang Xia couldn't act as if nothing had happened.

"I'm sorry. Jiang Xia walked over and said.

The five people who were chatting looked at Jiang Xia in amazement, but they didn't expect the protagonist they were chatting to appear.

Jiang Xia does not participate in all kinds of parties, and in the two months that Jiang Xia has been in Los Angeles, he has been accepted by everyone for such an image. Therefore, the few people chatting didn't expect that Jiang Xia would come to this party, and when they suddenly saw Jiang Xia, they were a little stunned.

Jiang Xia opened his mouth and said: "Although I am not a pure actor, I am an actor when I am acting, I am a director when I am filming, I am a professional as a director, I am a professional actor is a professional, I am also a professional singer, and I am also professional in writing." Since I'm all professionals, why can't I do them all together? That's not a reason for you to boycott me. ”

"Hmph, Jiang, a person's energy is limited, you don't have time to do that line if you do this line, I don't think you can do well in every line. ”

"It's just that the city is full of golden armor, and it's not because the audience is curious, what a good movie is this? ”

"Louis, don't you say?"

"Jiang, you can also rely on the mysterious oriental identity to be popular, and the real level is not very high. I've seen your previous works, and the level is really average. Luis said.

Jiang Xia's eyes narrowed and said, "Louis?" is it director Louis?"

"It's me, you've heard of me?" asked Louis.

Jiang Xia shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course I've heard that when the city was full of golden armor was released, he openly said bad things about me. I'm a grudge-holder. ”

"I'm not speaking ill of you, I'm telling the truth. Luis said.

When he said this, he was proud.

Louis also has reason to be proud.

Louis, who is only 41 years old this year, graduated from the prestigious USC University at the age of 23, won the best film at a film festival at the age of 29 with an R-rated horror film, was shortlisted for the Oscar "Best Director" award at the age of 35, was shortlisted again at the age of 37, and was shortlisted for the third time last year.

Therefore, Louis is very proud, he thinks that he was completely unlucky not to win the "Best Director", and it is also related to his style of filming, the political correctness of the Oscars has indeed killed the hope of a group of directors to win the award, Rao is so, he can still be nominated for "Best Director" three times, what reason is there for Louis not to be proud?

Among the directors in the entire Hollywood, there are not many who can make him look at them. is the directors who have won the Oscar "Best Director", and there are only a few who can be looked at by him.

Louis is famous in Hollywood because his work is particularly good. In particular, some niche cult movies are highly respected by a group of cults.

Now, he is planning to make a cult movie, the news has spread, and preparations are begining, and countless people are already looking forward to his film.

Louis looks down on Jiang Xia very much, just because Jiang Xia is too impure, in a "City Full of Golden Armor", Jiang Xia is both a director and an actor, and the screenwriter is also shoulder-to-shoulder, in his opinion, this is disrespectful to the movie. Not to mention, the movie "The City Full of Golden Armor" is also flawed, in the eyes of Louis, the shortcomings are infinitely magnified, so he ridicules Jiang Xia.

On many public occasions, Louis has said bad things about Jiang Xia, and he is a clear opponent of Jiang Xia.

Louis represents a lot of people in Hollywood — a lot of people who can't get used to Jiangxia.

A Chinese rampant into Hollywood, and with such great achievements, of course, there are many people who are not used to him. Everyone thought that Jiang Xia was lucky to break into Hollywood. China has not released a movie in North America for so many years, and it was caught up by Jiangxia at a good time. If you change someone else, it will definitely work, maybe it will be better, no, it will definitely be better.

Jiang Xia has a very clear understanding of these people's thoughts.

He has been in Hollywood for several years, and he knows what this place is, and he knows that this is the United States, a country with subconscious racism and regional discrimination.

Jiang Xia has seen a lot of people, because they are from different states, they are arguing, just like the domestic regional black, but in the United States, this kind of behavior is more serious, and it has been serious to the point of discrimination. Although it is only a minority, it exists, and it also accounts for a certain percentage.

They all look down on each other, let alone a Chinese.

Asians are quite poor in Hollywood, and they have never played a positive role, and occasionally there is a positive role, and they will soon say goodbye to everyone in Game Over.

In various aspects, Jiang Xia knew that it would be more difficult for him to mix in Hollywood.

Even if there is the towering tree of Paramount that Cheng Xin pulled for him, it is still difficult.

"Honestly, Director Louis, every work I direct, has its due results. In China, there have been huge repercussions, and I don't understand what you mean by not having enough level. Jiang Xia said lightly.

Louis said: "China, the level of cinema in that place, it's so bad, this is Hollywood!"

"So what? This year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is mine. Jiang Xia said, "I have also been nominated for Best Director, Best Screenplay, and even Best Song, where am I not enough? Or, Director Louis, do you think you are more authoritative than the Oscars? If so, Director Louis does not have to tirelessly ask for a best director." ”

"How do you speak?"

"Where has the humility of the Chinese gone?"

Several people around Louis said to Jiang Xia.

"Hmph. A trace of shame flashed on Louis's face, as if he was caught by Jiang Xia, "That's Oscar's choice of films, I'm good at shooting cult movies, obviously, Oscar doesn't like my type of director." But apart from the Oscars, the awards I've won have already been fitted with a whole cupboard. ”

"yes, the box office adds up to less than $500 million. Jiang Xia shrugged and said.

The biggest drawback of Cult movies is that the box office, the box office is not too high, although it will recover a lot of money in the disc market, but the total box office is still not high, and the restrictions are too great.

Therefore, at the box office, Jiang Xia definitely has the reason and strength to mock Louis.

Jiangxia's domestic box office has exceeded 5 billion, close to 6 billion, and it is more than 800 million US dollars when converted, plus more than 200 million in North America, Tietie's has passed the billion dollar mark, which is twice as high as Louis.

"Only pursuing the box office is not able to appreciate the true meaning of film art. You don't understand it to people like you. "There's only money in your head, there's only box office, and the film market is led astray by you people." ”

"No, no, no, your movie is also released, why is the box office not as good as others? or the movie is not good, the box office of good movies is not low. The box office is the battlefield that proves the strength of a director, and the audience doesn't like the movies you make, and they say it's for the sake of art? Jiang Xia said.

"You don't agree? Luis was quite unkind.

"The audience likes it, you don't like it, how old are you?" Jiang Xia unceremoniously replied.

The two of them are talking here, which has attracted the attention of many people around them.

There are many people who know Jiang Xia, after all, not long ago, "The City Full of Golden Armor" caused the whole of North America to live in peace, and Jiang Xia's popularity and recognition have soared, not to mention them, passers-by on the road can recognize him.

Louis is a relatively well-known director, and many people naturally know him.

Now that the two of them are on the bar, from the words of the two, you can hear that the two people are not dealing with each other.

Many of them know that Louis often said bad things about Jiang Xia. Because I had heard it, but I didn't expect that in front of Jiang Xia, he would still say this, and I didn't expect that Jiang Xia, a junior, would also fall in love with Louis.

"Hmph, unreasonable. Louis said, "You better sing your songs, young man, Hollywood is not so easy to mix, and you don't understand the art of film." ”

Jiang Xia sneered and said, "It seems that Director Louis thinks he understands the art of film very well? What qualifications does a director who can't even guarantee the box office have to talk about movies?"

"You say I'm not doing well at the box office, young man, you are also taking advantage of foreign language films, if you make a pure English film, the box office will definitely be so low that you will lose face!" Louis said.

"Then how about we make a bet?" Jiang Xia said with a smile.
