After recording "Qiang Qiang Threesome" this morning, if it wasn't for Han Sanping's promise to attend the charity dinner he organized in the evening, Wang Yang immediately went to the airport to return to Los Angeles, no one would have doubted. In the afternoon, he had nothing to do, and he didn't want to accept anyone's or anyone's requests to meet, so since he couldn't see him, he decided to simply disappear from anyone, anyway, there was nothing to talk about, and he would find it when he wanted to talk.

But Wang Yang did not sleep in the hotel, knowing that Natalie and Rachel were going to the nearby Palace Museum to play, he also decided to go, he was going to leave tomorrow, came to Beijing twice but never been to the Forbidden City, this time take the opportunity to watch cultural relics and antiques, and see the magnificent palace complex. Of course, there are not only the three of them in the group, there are bodyguard assistants to follow, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.

"The beauty of China is unique and magnificent, yesterday I was scared by the Great Wall, and now these buildings are so great......"

Under the clear blue sky, the afternoon sun shines on the glazed tiles of the eaves of this classical building, lined with golden brilliance, the solemn vermilion gate, the majestic stone lions, and the willows swaying in the wind...... The group walked towards the Taihe Palace, Rachel and Natalie, who were dressed casually and ordinary, walked in the front, and the two of them sometimes went to many tourist attractions together and sometimes alone in the past few days, and also bought some special things. Rachel, on the other hand, decided that it wasn't enough to enjoy it and planned to play for a few more days before leaving on her own, while Natalie was preparing to take a flight to Guilin, where the film crew of "Star Wars Episode 3" was filming.

Hearing Rachel admiring the surrounding scenery with emotion, Wang Yang, who was lagging behind, looked at the palace with red pillars and yellow tiles, and said, "Yes, it is magnificent, but compared to these, I prefer those natural scenery of mountains and rivers, which is really unique." ”

"I saw it very quickly, and I heard that there was a saying that said...... 'Guilin's landscape is the most beautiful in the world.'" Natalie's smile was a little puzzled, she glanced back at Wang Yang, and asked as she walked, "Man, what do you say about that?"

If he hadn't looked at the pictures for "Firefly", Wang Yang would not have been able to say it at once, at this time he remembered those beautiful mountains and rocks and the clear Li River, and he smiled in Chinese: "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world." He also praised in English: "Very beautiful karst landscape. ”

When it comes to Guilin, Natalie seems to think of something: "Do you know what? Mr. Lucas is also very fond of Chinese landscape painting. Wang Yang shook his head and said, "I don't usually have much contact with Mr. Lucas. "In addition to the work aspect and the event ceremony, Robert Zemeckis is in contact from time to time, after all, everyone is very busy, the age and environment are different, and the personal friendship is naturally average.

"He was talking about location on set, and the planet Cassico was a mysterious place, and it had to feel like it was 'primitive'. Natalie slowed down and walked with Wang Yang, fanned her hands, and described: "Many peaks and many fog surround. I understand what he means, that is, the artistic conception of the poem you said, which is very aura. Mr. Lucas wanted to incorporate Chinese landscape painting. ”

Wang Yang nodded and smiled, there are not a few science fiction filmmakers who have this idea, the style of Chinese landscapes is very charming, and it is born with a mysterious and ethereal temperament, which is very suitable for the appearance of an alien planet, so there are Cassico in "Star Wars Prequel 3", and Pandora in "Avatar".

In terms of lens style alone, all the scenes of "Avatar" are in Pandora, with dense primeval jungles on the ground, and foggy sea and mountains when flying, and the "primitive" style is unified;

"I'm doing this too, 100 percent! I'm going to bring Chinese landscape painting into the world of science fiction! Good luck to me!" Wang Yang clenched his right fist and raised it high, smiling and cheering himself up: "Beautiful——!"

Natalie and Rachel suddenly looked puzzled, because the "Firefly" plan has not yet been exposed, and Wang Yang has not mentioned it, the two don't know what he is talking about, Natalie asked curiously: "What do you mean? You want to make a science fiction film? There are also locations in China?"

"Yes, there should be a lot of them. Wang Yang looked at Susan McCarthy and other assistant bodyguards in the back, as well as the crowds of tourists in the distance, quickened his pace, and whispered to them mysteriously: "Interstellar sci-fi, spaceship, crew, planet, fight...... It's good that you know, it's a matter of secrecy! It's going to be a long time coming, and I don't expect it to come out until 2005 at the earliest. ”

"You mean to release it?" Natalie suddenly laughed, her face was full of interest, and her voice was excited: "Summer vacation? Oh man, isn't that with "Star Wars Prequel 3"? It won't be released at the same time, right?" Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders, what is the need to ask for trouble? He smiled: "I'm not so stupid, even if we really meet in the summer of 05, the time difference will be more than a month." ”

"I know that the media will definitely not let go of those matchups when the time comes. Jan, did you do it on purpose?" Rachel smiled cutely, looked at Natalie, and said with a smile, "He either has a nickname called 'USC Avenger,' or he likes to go against Mr. George Lucas, Mr. Steven Spielberg, Mr. Robert Zemeckis, and I suspect he did it on purpose." ”

Wang Yang rolled his eyes noncommittally. Natalie looked at him with a frown, she would not forget the 1999 "Star Wars Prequel 1", the two-day premiere week was defeated by the official large-scale release of "Youth Musical", as if everyone was singing and dancing, and then she ran into the theater to watch one, and then there was an inexplicable scandal...... Last year's "Star Wars Prequel 2" was still released in May, and it did not collide head-on with "District 9" in August, but in terms of film criticism and awards, "District 9" has confirmed the title of "the best sci-fi film that summer". If "Star Wars Prequel 3" in 05 encounters this "USC Avenger" again, it will be the same type of interstellar sci-fi ?......?!!

"Amazing Young hacked 'Star Wars Episode 3'", "Amazing Young brought the biggest surprise of the summer", "Natalie's performance looked ridiculous"...... Natalie shook her lips, covered her forehead and said, "I suddenly had a bad feeling. I'm going to die!"

"Oh, then I'm sorry!" Wang Yang couldn't help laughing, but he didn't have the slightest arrogance in his heart. As the last part of the prequel trilogy and the last part of the canonical series of "Star Wars", "Star Wars Prequel 3" has unparalleled appeal and influence, and it is also a very good masterpiece in itself, it is like a very high mountain that is difficult to cross.

The relationship between the two in the theater, "Firefly" is a challenger, and for him, this movie is this movie, what he wants to say, what he wants, and what he wants to try...... But there is no doubt that this is an unprecedented challenge.

As she spoke, everyone had already walked up the white steps with white marble railings on both sides, and Natalie stepped up the steps and said, "Face your magical, magical, magical...... Monster, it's impossible for me not to worry!" Wang Yang sighed and smiled: "It seems that you really want me to be smashed on Tomatoes." Natalie said casually in Chinese, "Why not?"

She smiled and said back to English: "Why not? Not when I play the heroine of the movie." She looked at the smiling Rachel and said, "Then everyone will say that Wang Yang is magical because of Natalie Portman! ”

"I don't think so. Rachel shook her head with a smile and said with a smile, "Unless the name is Rachel McAdams." However, when it came to the "screen winning record", she suddenly thought of the screen and the TV series he supervised and created, and immediately asked excitedly: "By the way, Jan, "Prison Break" will be broadcast on NBC next month, right? I've been looking forward to it for too long!"

Although the beginning of this drama is such a sad thing as he being sentenced to prison, but those are over, as a TV series fan, she is really excited, the sign of "Magic Young" is too attractive, especially this is his first time in the field of TV dramas, so they can look forward to it as much as they want, and draw possibilities on that blank piece of paper.

At first, I thought he was talking nonsense, but it turned out that it wasn't, and after two long years of waiting, it was finally going to be broadcast.

Growing up watching Canadian TV dramas and American TV series, she was addicted to the point of skipping classes when she was a child, and she studied drama in college, Rachel can be described as a "top TV fan", but she has to say praise, "Prison Break" is too good at publicity! Like countless fans of dramas, she was so impatient that she almost threatened the guy in front of her with a knife and hurriedly handed over the disc of the first season!

"When the crew is shooting, the stills should be circulated on the Internet like street shots. But it maintains a sense of mystery, while bringing curiosity and anticipation. This is one of the marketing tactics of "Prison Break" summarized by the media, which leads her to now wonder what the actor's oil painting-like tattoo represents, which is a little more ferocious, and the connection signal with someone in prison?...... She didn't ask, of course, because she didn't want spoilers, otherwise the fun would be greatly reduced.

Rachel doesn't know if these publicity tactics are Magic Young's idea, but she feels that when it comes to "viral marketing", he is absolutely inseparable from those unbelievable ghost ideas.

For example, like blogs, in addition to the official blog opened by the crew of "Prison Break", there are also virus blogs, which are a mysterious prisoner in the play, a mysterious prison guard, and a prison in the play. Prisoners publish and update prison survival rules and prison diaries, prison guards also have duty rules and work diaries, and prisons have management rules and prison security inspection logs...... This not only makes it clear what is going on in the prison, but what is more interesting is that she thinks this is also the purpose of these virus blogs, if you are locked up in such a well-guarded, technologically advanced, no security loopholes, management loopholes, it is "absolutely impossible" to escape, even if you have wings, you can't escape, and now the actor says I'm going to escape!

"I remember Monday, September 15th, yes? Premiere two episodes in a row?" Rachel excitedly added again, seeing him nod and smile and say "yes", she laughed and said, "COOL! It's so exciting!" Natalie naturally knew about "Prison Break", and said with a smile: "I'll wait until the first season is over and then watch it, I don't like to chase dramas, one episode a week is too slow." Rachel disagreed: "Chasing dramas is also a kind of fun, a kind of life. ”

"Rachel, it might disappoint you. ”

"Why?"

"It's not a soap opera. ”

A few people laughed and walked into the Taihe Palace, which was originally completed nearly 600 years ago, and was used by the emperor to hold various ceremonies. stayed in the Taihe Hall for a while, and because the three of them wanted to visit different attractions next, they each enjoyed the scenery separately with the assistant bodyguards.

After an afternoon of playing, close to dusk, Wang Yang and his family returned to the palace hotel, and after getting dressed neatly, he set off for a charity dinner held in the hotel banquet hall, and then there was no time to rest for the whole night.

He became the only protagonist of the dinner, and a group of people came around, smiling faces: "Mr. Wang, it's great to see you today!", "Director Wang, I like your movie very much." ”…… Wang Yang basically didn't know these people who attended the dinner, he was only familiar with Han Sanping, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Zhao Wei and a few others, but after a whole night, he had no impression of the people he knew like a horse. In the charity auction that night, Wang Yang didn't have anything he wanted, and he didn't want to choose who donated anything, so he simply aimed at the "Wang Yang's autograph" and auctioned it again and again, and willingly donated the highest $1 million in the audience.

Maybe that's what "Capture of Las Vegas" did at the box office in the mainland, but it's very nice to be able to help SARS patients recover, and his charitable foundation is doing it.

When the night is replaced by daylight and the sun rises and blooms into warm sunlight, it is Saturday, August 16th. This day is the day when "Capture of Las Vegas" was officially released on a large scale in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places, and long-awaited fans and fans poured into the cinema and stormed the entire screening hall to see this film that has been praised as beating all previous American gambling films and Hong Kong gambling films.

Suddenly, the playing cards occupied the attention of the audience and the media focus in this oriental country, and the real story of the Chinese card counter, the Chinese director and the Chinese male lead actor gave it.

At night, a plane slowly rises from Beijing Capital International Airport, soars into the sky and flies at high speed to the other side of the earth, the other side of the ocean.
