"Looks like everyone is worried about us!"

Chen Tian said with a smile: "Your accent doesn't sound worried, but proud!" ”

David on the other end of the phone. Ellison laughed a little exaggeratedly: "You heard this, well, I'm really proud, although I don't know as much about movies as you do, but I know that every step of our way is at least good."

Yesterday Larry Sr. even praised me and my sister, oh my God, you don't know when the last time he praised our sister and brother! Maybe it was when I was in first grade that I was complimented by my teacher.

This shows that he is very optimistic about us, but this old guy wants to invest more, and he is very optimistic about us. ”

More investment?

Although Chen Tian needed funds, he was not so urgent.

As a successful top businessman, Larry. Ellison's investment was not so easy to get, although there were some investments before, but those were all in the name of the Eric siblings.

If you still want to join the investment now, you obviously want to get more benefits.

This made Chen Tian a little embarrassed, if it weren't for the Eric siblings, Miramax and himself would not have developed so fast, they were already not only partners, but also friends.

"Hey, Justin, don't worry about that mess, I've turned him down.

I wouldn't ask for it unless he just invested the money, and when we needed it. "David. Ellison had obviously thought of Chen Tian's thoughts, and his words undoubtedly made Chen Tian, who was a little embarrassed, relax a lot.

He didn't want to have a conflict between the two because of this. Ellison's EQ and IQ are not low.

"Thank you, David!"

“oh。 Come on! I'm also for myself. I'm going to tell Larry Sr. that we can make it without him.

But won't you be able to come back this Halloween? There are still four days left for "The Grudge" to be released. James wants you to come back for the premiere. ”

"Damn. It's been so long since I've been out of there that I've almost forgotten that it's Halloween four days away. I don't think I can go back, there are still a lot of things going on here, you and Bob on James's side just go, and I'll find someone to attend then.

I'm very confident in the film, and those theaters are also very good, plus there are no good films released, this time I think James can strengthen his reputation again. Chen Tian said.

Wen Ziren's remake of Japan's "The Grudge" will be released on October 29, US time. That is, two days later, it was undoubtedly going straight to Halloween.

In the previous life, the competition was not fierce, but this schedule was the release date of Wen Ziren's battle for fame "Chainsaw", and now "Chainsaw" has already been released, and it has already made a name for itself as a horror film.

The most important thing is that there are no heavyweight new films in this schedule, which seems very calm compared to the previous Halloween.

In addition to "The Grudge", there are only two slightly heavyweight new films.

One is the musical film "Soul Singer", which took fifteen years to produce, this 30 million investment musical film starring Jamie Fox tells the life of a genius spirit singer.

Although the trailer is good, the movie works out well. But Chen Tian knows that such a film has no box office competitiveness and can only attract a small audience.

Except for "The Soul Singer". Another heavyweight film is last year's Oscar-winning actress Nicole Murphy. Kidman's new film "Reincarnation Love", in this film, the new actress Nicole . Kidman plays Anna, a young widow who has a dead husband.

When she prepares to remarry, Anna meets a 10-year-old boy who tells her that he is the reincarnation of Anna's husband, Hai.

Although Anna felt that the boy's story was ridiculous, she could not forget it, and eventually she continued to doubt what the boy said in her dealings with her fiancé.

Such a film is undoubtedly directly aimed at this year's Halloween, and the Oscar-winning status is undoubtedly an impact on "The Grudge".

But there is only such a film, Chen Tian doesn't think he can beat "The Grudge", a film that was released with "Chainsaw" in his previous life and won 100 million North American box office.

Not to mention, Wen Ziren's version is not just a remake, but also some of the thinking of the two of them.

Chen Tian had already seen the edited version before, and he was very confident in the film.

This time is a film for Wen Ziren to further consolidate his position, Chen Tian does not go back not only because he is short of time, but also because he hopes that Wen Ziren can stand on his own platform, instead of being a neglected director next to him.

David. Ellison and Chen Tian chatted for a few more words and hung up the phone, and Chen Tian began to pack up and go to the recording site of Running Man, the business center in Central, Hong Kong, the world's longest escalator system.

The 800-metre vertical gap of more than 130 metres consists of covered walkways and overpasses, 20 one-way escalators that can be converted up and down, and 3 moving walkways.

The system starts from the Hang Seng Bank Head Office Building, which is connected to the footbridge system in Central, passes through Central Market, and runs along Colin Street, Hollywood Road, Shelley Street, Molo Temple Kaga Street, Robinson Road to the end point of Conduit Road.

The escalator system passes through a number of attractions, including the Soho district, which is full of bars and restaurants with a European flair, the 100-year-old Central Police Station, which has been declared a monument by the government, and Tai Cheong Bakery, a famous traditional bakery loved by former Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten.

The escalator has also become a great place for Chinese and foreign tourists to get a taste of Hong Kong, and it takes more than 20 minutes to complete a single journey.

is such an escalator, which will become the beginning of the third stop of the running man, but what impresses Chen Tian more here is the scene in Wong Kar-wai's classic film "Chongqing Forest".

Faye Wong played, the girl who works in a fast food restaurant has a crush on the policeman 663 who comes to buy supper every night, Tony Leung, who plays the policeman 663, takes the escalator to work, and the heroine Faye Wong peeks at him from the apartment window, which has become a classic scene in the film.

Tomorrow morning, the third stop of Running Man will be recorded there. Chen Tian himself even only learned about it on the Internet. I gave my idea to the set and the assistant director.

He's now going to see what's going on with the world's longest elevator. I want to experience Hong Kong for myself.

Boom!

Put on your sunglasses and close the door of the room, and the door of the opposite room opens just right.

"You're going out?" Natalie. Portman looked at Chen Tian and said.

"I'm going to go to tomorrow's recording site to see, anyway, there aren't too many other things to do today, do you want to be together?" Chen Tianxia asked subconsciously.

"Wouldn't it be bad? The others don't know where that place is, so in that case, do I have an advantage? "Natalie. The corners of Portman's mouth went up, and his expression was embarrassed, "Wait a minute! ”

“OK！ It's nice to have someone with you. You'll probably love it too, even though I've only seen it from the cinema and online.

I'm waiting for you outside, does it take half an hour? "It takes a long time for ordinary girls to clean up before going out, if it takes a long time, Chen Tian will go back to see if there is any omission in the preparation of the filming plan of "League of Assassins" the day after tomorrow.

"Do you think I'm going to clean up for half an hour? No, just come in, soon! Speaking of Natalie. Portman turned and walked straight into the room.

Chen Tian looked at the corridor and thought about it before following in, since she said so, there would definitely be no embarrassing things like changing clothes. And the interior of the suite was Natalie. Portman cleaned up cleanly and had a fresh smell.

Sure enough, it was less than five minutes. Natalie. Portman walked out of the bedroom, barely wearing much makeup, just changing into a very casual outfit.

Wearing a peaked cap and the big black-rimmed glasses that almost covered most of her face, she looked like a girl next door.

The two hailed a taxi in front of the Hilton Hotel and headed to their destination.

Chen Tian and Portman didn't communicate much, both of them were looking at the scenery outside the car window, and the driver who was going to develop his strengths could only drive in silence all the way because of the extremely uncomfortable compulsion.

When the taxi pulls into Hong Kong's Central business center, the high-rise buildings and modern atmosphere are extinguished, and it has a modern metropolis feel.

"Are we right here?" Natalie. Portman looked at Chen Tian and asked, she preferred the shabby-looking places along the way to the tall buildings.

"It's almost there, you're going to like it here, it's not what you think." Chen Tian smiled, he could feel Portman's thoughts.

"This handsome guy is not wrong, you must like the beauties here, very famous." The driver turned his head and finally interjected, and the English with a hint of Hong Kong flavor sounded a little funny.

When the car left, Chen Tian smiled: "I am sure that I was not wrong just now, you can go in and have a look." ”

"What a familiar feeling, I seem to have seen it somewhere!" Natalie. Portman turned to look around, and compared to the bustling scene, it seemed more like Hong Kong in the eighties and nineties.

The pedestrians coming and going on the side of the road were extremely busy, and they didn't stop for a moment, she felt very familiar with this place, but she couldn't remember it all of a sudden, and followed Chen Tian to the entrance of the passage, and Portman remembered it all of a sudden.

"Chongqing Forest? IS KARWAIWANG'S WORK RIGHT? I know this film and love it.

It prompted me to work with Wang, but ......"

"But he takes too much time to make a movie, doesn't he?" Chen Tian interrupted Portman's words with a smile, "Go up, I also want to see it here because of that movie."

Of course, there are reasons why we need to shoot running men here tomorrow. ”

There are a lot of people on the escalator, and there are various characteristic shops on both sides of the escalator, which seems to be incompatible with the modern metropolis, just like a person has two different sides, but the combination is very good.

Everyone was standing on the right side of the escalator, leaving the left side open for people to pass through.

Chen Tian and Portman stood side by side, looking at everything on both sides.

"Actually, I prefer this kind of environment, if I don't make movies one day, I think I should find a place with a more ancient taste to live, open a small restaurant, I can make some good dim sum by myself, and watch the people come and go." Portman turned his head sideways to look at Chen Tian, "Isn't there a bit of a split?" ”

The smiling Portman turned his head again to look at the shops on both sides: "Actually, 'Black Swan' really suits me, I feel like I'm actually a contradiction." I just like to do what I love, not for those damn fame and fortune.

Of course I want to get something that I can recognise and then I feel like I can really put down and do what I love. ”

and Natalie. Portman has been in contact for so long, and Chen Tian is also aware of some of her thoughts.

No one likes to do things they don't like to do, and Portman doesn't like commercial blockbusters, but films that can express their ideas and exercise themselves. I like to read quietly alone, and I like to think.

As she herself said, if she could, she would definitely live her life the way she wanted.

"Yes, I hope Black Swan can help you do what you want, so you can be yourself.

It's a promise given to you as a good friend, and I'll build it with my heart. Chen Tianxia said subconsciously, his tone full of solemnity.

Portman turned his head, and the eyes under his large, lensless black-rimmed glasses seemed to be able to speak.

Chen Tian didn't know what to say, and with the escalator going up, the two looked at each other silently.

Ten seconds!

Thirty seconds!

Portman looked away and looked back at the shops on his right, as if lost in thought.

Chen Tian felt a slight blockage in his heart, threw away the thoughts in his mind, and the plot of "Chongqing Forest" appeared in his mind.

Afei, who was holding a bowl, was lying on the escalator and secretly looked at the police officer 633 who passed by after work, and that scene seemed to appear in front of him.

"Blueberry Nights is actually pretty good." Natalie. Portman suddenly said, "It's just that I prefer 'Chong-Qing Forest', getting lost in the real forest and being reborn under the California sun."

But "Blueberry Night" is not "Chongqing Forest", and it has really been filmed for a long time, if he has your speed, I think Wang can have his own voice in Hollywood, he is a good director. ”

Chen Tianzheng is about to take over the conversation, Natalie. Portman looked at the small shop in the distance.

With an 800-metre-long escalator, he and Portman experienced Hong Kong at its best in 20 minutes.

Feel everything that can only be experienced in the movie world, and when the escalator reaches the end, the luxurious Mid-Levels villas are visible at the exit.

"Awesome, thank you for bringing me here, otherwise I might have missed it. It's like a bridge of sighs! Turning to face the ascending escalator, Portman smiled.

No one recognizes her here, she enjoys the present very much, but her heart is not as calm as it seems: "Justin, Wang Jingwen is happy." Maybe one day I'll step out of the forest and get a new lease of life under the California sun, albeit hard. ”

Chen Tian didn't know how to take this sentence, he understood the meaning of this short sentence.

But he couldn't make another promise, though he had asked himself countless times in his own heart.

Follow Portman out of the escalator passage, and the Hong Kong sunshine in the afternoon is even better.

"If I am smart, I will definitely find the most suitable and best answer, and I will not leave a problem for the stupid." Portman's eyes swept over Chen Tian and turned to look at the blue sky. (To be continued......)
