Chapter 66: A Chance Encounter at the Meeting
When I arrived in London, it was already early in the morning. Yabsen personally came to pick up the airport, this woman has been here for the last half a month, she put Li Wei in the car and went straight to the Langham Hotel in London's West End. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It was not yet dawn, and there were almost no pedestrians on the streets of the city, so Li Wei could not enjoy a quiet time.
"I've got a birthday party for you, Lee, I hope you enjoy it!" Nina. Yabson was in the same car as Li Wei, and she had the same plan as Tracy.
"I'm going back to America in the evening, Yabson, and I'm afraid I'm going to refuse your arrangement!" Li Wei was a little tired, and his voice was low.
"Then, when I attend the premiere of the Odian Cinema in the evening, I will add a birthday celebration and you will receive blessings from the fans!" Nina. Yabsen then said that everything she did was for work, and so was her birthday party.
Li Wei laughed at himself and said: "Do I have fans in London, it's an arrogant city, and people here despise actors like me, although their young people love to watch my movies!" ”
"Don't underestimate your charm, Lee, the past doesn't mean anything, the mistakes you made when you were a teenager can be forgiven, your struggle experience is healthy and positive, and what you have achieved now is inspiring countless young people, not only the United States, but also the United Kingdom is spreading your influence!" Nina. Yabusen's specialty is image packaging, she can grasp the advantages of Li Wei and amplify it infinitely in the media.
Li Wei admired her eloquence, but did not continue the topic, he asked: "You are the director of distribution, after each film is painted, the bonus should be very generous!" ”
"I only have a year-end bonus!" Nina. Yabsen didn't want to talk about personal matters, "I met a compatriot yesterday at the Langham Hotel, the musician Hans. Zimmer, tell him that you are coming to England today, would you like to have breakfast with him? ”
"I'd love to!" Li Wei is a little strange, Hans. How did Zimmer come to London, he contacted the master some time ago, and is currently in Africa, making the soundtrack for a low-budget literary film "Boy Wants to Be Self-Improvement".
Hans. Zimmer took on the job for a Disney blockbuster, the famous "The Lion King", and traveled to Africa to find inspiration.
However, "The Lion King" still has two or three years to be produced, and he has promised Li Wei that he will join the crew of "Outlaw" after the New Year and participate in the soundtrack of this film first.
Arrived at the hotel, Hans. Zimmer was already waiting in the restaurant.
After taking a look, Li Wei did not shake hands with him, he said in a suppressed voice: "Hans, I guess there is a beautiful woman in London, waiting for your musical talent, she has been unable to sleep at night, can you tell me who she is?" Oh, she must be a big beauty! ”
Hans. Zimmer smiled and leaned back, also blushing a little, "Will, don't make fun of me, I love my Weila, we will be married for ten years by next year, and I will hold a celebration when the time comes, and you will come too!" ”
The two sat down happily, but Li Wei muttered in his heart, ten years of celebration? He seemed to remember that Hans. Zimmer will get divorced next year, and this sullen man will soon get rid of his bad wife, pretending to be an infatuated man!
"Tell me, Hans, you didn't come to London for a date, did you come for work?" Li Wei asked.
"It's for socializing!" Hans. Zimmer explained: "Elton. Sir John had a charity party at Christmas, and I had invited him, he was a legend in the British music industry, and I couldn't refuse him! ”
It turned out to be Elton. John, this is an evergreen tree in the British music scene, he has been popular for forty years, and he has countless honors, the episode of "The Lion King" is from this person's handwriting, and he will also win an Oscar, this person likes to engage in charity, and can be called a kind person, but his private life is chaotic, the scandals of his previous life are flying all over the sky, and the most famous thing is to play tricks, Western artists seem to have two sides, on the one hand, they maintain a good image in front of the public, and on the other hand, they are foolish in private.
Hans. Zimmer knew that young people liked to party, so he invited: "Will, I can take you in, there are many celebrities there, I believe you will have a good time!" ”
Li Wei shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I'm going back to America tonight, Hans, I'm going to refuse your kindness!" ”
After he finished speaking, he thought of one thing, and asked him again: "Is voting for next year's Oscar nominations begin?" ”
"Official vote on the 31st!" Hans. Zimmer is also concerned about this.
"Only your soundtrack for our Hurricane Rescue has a chance of being nominated!" Li Wei doesn't pay attention to the Oscars for the time being, but he can't completely ignore them.
Hans. Zimmer smiled and said, "Will, I think there is hope for the best visuals!" ”
This hope is really not big, the best visual effects award in the previous life belongs to "Terminator 2", Li Wei has no confidence to compete for the king of the world, and of course he does not exclude a certain old stubborn in the academy to look at him differently.
After breakfast, Li Wei returned to his room, where he could rest for a few hours and start work at noon.
Li Wei originally wanted to meet his old friend Zhong Fang, but unfortunately he couldn't get his wish, it is now the Christmas holiday, Zhong Fang has already returned to his hometown in Xiangjiang, and this time he can't get together.
By noon, Li Wei was in Nina. Yabuson was interviewed by several media outlets under his arrangement, which was for further publicity after the film's release.
British media people are more serious, even gossip is serious, Li Wei doesn't like to communicate with them, and always feels that he is being censored.
After the interview, he went straight to the Odeon flagship cinema in central London for a fan meet-and-greet, which was scheduled for 7pm.
Li Wei has participated in many such activities in his previous life, and it is completely a celebrity going through the motions, no more than half an hour at most, and the process is simple.
First, the host will give a speech, invite the stars, then offer a flower, smile, then ask questions and interact, and then leave.
Of course, there are also special elements that are added to the event, such as birthday celebrations, but that will only be good if loyal fans are present.
Li Wei didn't know about Nina. Where did Yabuson find the fans, anyway, as soon as he stepped on the stage, he caused a tsunami of shouts, as if he had met Tom. Cruises the same.
The venue space is very large, enough to accommodate two or three hundred people, there are no seats on the stage, Li Wei and the host face the audience, standing side by side and talking, the front row is full of reporters, constantly taking pictures, fans are just a vague shadow in Li Wei's eyes.
He expressed his feelings and feelings about filming the movie in the host's questions, and then came to the fan interaction session.
The host first said, "Oh, you're so enthusiastic, I think Will. Mr. Li must have been very impressed, and he has prepared a few gifts for you, but there is a small obstacle set up on the outside of this gift, and it will be necessary to test your trust in Will. Mr. Lee's level of understanding, folks, please hear me, who knows Will. Mr. Li's birthday, as long as you say it, you can get the gift! ”
It doesn't matter if no one knows, there is childcare in the audience, and it will definitely not be cold!
As soon as the host finished speaking, two voices sounded at the same time, and they rushed onto the stage in unison, expressing a very strong desire.
Li Wei looked at it and was a little stunned, they were all stars in his previous life, a strong man and a beautiful woman appeared on the stage.
"Tell us about yourselves!" The moderator held up the microphone and asked.
"Hi Lee, hello, my name is Jason. Statham, is a diver! The strong man said first.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, you, my name is Kate. Beckinsale, is a student at the University of Oxford! The beautiful girl then said that she did not forget to raise her hand to the audience to say hello.
