In the café, Wang Zijun, who was patiently mixing coffee, saw Sidney. Poitier came in with two black men.

After they approached, Wang Zijun stood up, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Long time no see, Sidney." ”

"Hello, King." Sidney. Poitier introduced the two black men he had brought with him and said, "This is Williams, this is Dahre." ”

"Hello!" Wang Zijun shook hands with them separately.

Williams and Dalle were both black men in the prime of their forties. Especially Williams, after seeing this person, Wang Zijun laughed to death, it turned out that this Williams was Clarence. Williams III.

Thirteen years later, in the original "Pianist at Sea", the black pianist who challenged 1900 was none other than Clarence. Williams III played, can't think of Sidney. Poitier actually brought the original actor.

Most importantly, this person will play the founder of jazz (self-proclaimed) in the film, and Clarence. Williams III's father was an important figure in the early days of jazz and is said to have been the first to put the word jazz on his score. And Clarence. Williams III, himself, was also proficient in a variety of musical instruments. It is simply fitting for him to play this character.

Wang Zijun also tried to find Clarence some time ago. Williams III, it's a pity that this guy didn't appear for more than a decade after acting in a few plays in the fifties and sixties. played a supporting role in a film the year before last, and then disappeared again, and no one was found at all.

After sitting down, Sidney. Poitier began to give a detailed account of the two of them. It turned out that the three of them were old friends, but Sidney. Poitier was the oldest, and to the other two, he was both a teacher and a friend.

Clarence. Needless to say, Williams III is not simple, and that Dale is not simple. The man's name was Dale. Avince was twice nominated for Best Supporting Actor in Hollywood, but he didn't win the trophy for various reasons.

"It's amazing, they're all the best actors, I'm very satisfied." After the two blacks came impromptu for a while, Wang Zijun said happily.

"Really? That's great! "Sidney. Poitier laughed.

Clarence. Williams III and Dahler. Avince was also very happy, there were not many people invited to film at this time, and most of them played some villains. Only Sidney. In the movies directed and acted by Poitier, a black actor, there are a large number of positive images of black people, but this kind of film market is not large, it does not make much box office, and the actors' salaries are naturally not too high.

And Wang Zijun's movie this time is different, according to the information announced, one of the roles they play is the protagonist's adoptive father, a kind-hearted black man; The other is a villain, but he is not a bad person, and he has a very surname, and he has some sympathy for the protagonist musically.

Not to mention the salary, this kind of opportunity to play positive characters is not many for black actors.

After getting rid of the two blacks, it took two more days for Wang Zijun to finally find a suitable candidate for the male No. 2 Max.

Wang Zijun still clearly remembers the audition scene that day, when Wang Zijun asked that to be called Rob. When Wolfe's middle-aged white little fat man was acting in a seasickness scene, this guy did not fall backwards like the others, but threw himself on the table and made various facial expressions towards Wang Zijun.

At first, he held his breath and blushed, and then puffed out his cheeks, making an uncomfortable expression of forbearance and vomiting, and a grunting sound came out of his throat. The sound was like a semi-condensed substance churning up and down in the esophagus, causing people's wireless reverie, and the sound alone made the actor union brother next to him disgustingly unbearable.

"Gross!" Rob. Wolf staggered to his feet, his fat body falling backwards and forth like a tumbler, and then pounced, directly knocking over the stool on which the interviewer was sitting, and then lying on the stool making noises from time to time.

"Oh God!" The actor union dude seemed to smell the vomit and couldn't help frowning.

"Good, great!" In Rob. After Wolfe's performance, Wang Zijun stood up and applauded, "Congratulations, Mr. Wolfe." ”

Next, only the actor of the actor's childhood remained, and Wang Zijun picked and chose and didn't find a better one, just when he was preparing to be short, and when he used the half-race child named Barry last time, an old friend brought her nephew to audition.

"Hello, Miss Zhou." Wang Zijun was very surprised.

The person who came was Zhou Jiyun, a reporter from the American edition of "World News", who once gave Wang Zijun an exclusive interview, and later came to the press conference for the launch of "Love in Paradise" in the Maldives.

Zhou Jiyun said: "Hello, Zijun, this is my nephew Zhou Weicheng, his mother asked me to take him to try." ”

Wang Zijun said with a smile: "I remember that Miss Zhou's family seems to be a big family, your father will agree to let his grandson come out to make a movie at such a young age?" ”

"Ahem," Zhou Jiyun said embarrassedly, "That's why I touched it quietly, but my brother has already acquiesced, and my sister-in-law very much hopes that Weicheng can be a little star." You don't have to be afraid that the Zhou family will sue you for robbing people. ”

"Okay," Wang Zijun asked the mixed-race kid named Zhou Weicheng, "Weicheng, can you speak Chinese?" ”

"Yes." Zhou Weicheng said and took out a small notebook and said, "Mr. Wang, my mommy is your fan, can you ask for your autograph?" ”

"Absolutely." Wang Zijun laughed at himself, "I thought I didn't have any female fans anymore, thank you Mommy for me." ”

The next audition is very simple, this kid is very smart, and even gives Wang Zijun a feeling of being a little ghost, and he can say something that only adults can say when he is only six years old.

All kinds of actors have been selected, and Wang Zijun is finally ready to start filming.

As for the heroine, you can choose whoever you want to play, because there are only a few lines. "Cinema Paradiso" can be regarded as a movie without a heroine.

Figure cheap Wang Zijun can let Laura. Fana or Demi. Moore came to act, and their brokerage contracts were signed with Wang's Entertainment Agency. However, the two girls are busy with other dramas now, and Wang Zijun is too lazy to think about it, so he called Judy. Foster.

Judy. Foster was studying at Yale University at this time, and wanted to refuse Wang Zijun's invitation, but after learning that there were only a few shots, he readily agreed.

The news of Wang Zijun's filming of a new film was quickly disclosed by the media, and naturally there were also media arranged by Dragon and Tiger Film Company.

Wang Zijun did not hold any press conference this time, but many details about the film were learned by those reporters with magical powers.

Before Wang Zijun could start the film, the "Los Angeles Evening News", which had a large increase in circulation by breaking the news about Wang Zijun's peachy color, reported an article with a sarcastic surname: "This newspaper has the latest news, Zachary. Among the starring roles in Wang's new film, one is Asian, two are black, and one is white and fat...... It's a great combination, is he going to make a comedy? Or maybe it's a crime movie. ”

As soon as this article came out, some black groups were immediately unhappy, believing that the "Los Angeles Evening News" had the intention of discriminating against colored people and fat people, and organized to go to the headquarters of the "Los Angeles Evening News" to block the door and sit-in.

Inside a luxury villa in Beverly Hills, Hollywood.

Victor. Morris threw away the newspaper and came out in a wheelchair with a gloomy face. Compared with a year ago, the handsome Mr. Morris was much haggard, and his face was a little more gloomy, and he greeted the entourage outside the door: "Did you find any clues?" ”

The attendant bowed and said: "According to the airline's records and video footage, the killer left the United States and entered Mexico, and then disappeared in Hungary......"

"Bastard, after four months of investigation, I actually got such a little news!" Victor. Morris roared as hard as he could, his own surname was moody, and his lower body was paralyzed and intensified.

The attendant said: "The poison on the warhead is a nerve poison prepared by the killer himself, and the raw materials for the poison have been identified as being provided by the California mafia, but the appearance of the killer they give is vague, but the physical characteristics are Slavs......"

"Slavs, Eastern Europe...... Could it be a killer from the Soviet Union? "Victor. Morris muttered.

Poor Victor. Morris had apparently offended so many people that he couldn't figure out who hired a hitman to shoot him. He also suspected Wang Zijun, because Wang Zijun had only recently had a relationship with him, but he was never sure.

"Check it for me, no matter how much money you have, check it for me! Look up those underground killer groups, which bastard is good at using long-range firearms with poison...... "Victor." Morris shouted desperately, and because of the excessive range of movement of his upper body, he suddenly flipped out of the wheelchair and smashed his face on the ground and slammed into the.

On the west coast of the United States, in a deserted beach near the sea in California, is a primitive port built of wood. Of course, this is where the port was built, and there is a huge steamship floating in the water.

To the naked eye, it's hard to spot that this is just a fake, just a model hull prop. Because it's too big!

Several extras, dressed in vintage pre-World War II costumes, are waving and cheering at the shore under the lens of several cameras!

Wang Zijun and several directors are nervously scheduling, and this kind of large-scale scene shooting is really brain-intensive.

"Click, next shot!"

Wang Zijun was changing into suspender trousers, combing a parted hairstyle, and sitting there motionless for the makeup artist to fiddle with. It wasn't long before he was stuffed with a pair of blue contact lenses in his eyes—the world's first contact lenses.

Just stood up and prepared to film, Lazim suddenly ran over and said, "President Reagan has been assassinated!" ”

"Whoa......," the people nearby who heard this were in an uproar.

How many years ago was the assassination of the President of the United States? Who is the last one? Kennedy?

Just when everyone was talking, Wang Zijun complained bitterly - it seems that he has to change the heroine.

Wang Zijun only remembers that it seems that Reagan will be Judy this year. Foster's admirer assassinated, but he didn't remember exactly when, and thought it would be a few months later, but he didn't expect to be shot at the end of March.

The assassination of President Reagan caused an uproar in the United States and even in the world. The news of Wang Zijun's new film was quickly lost in the overwhelming news of the president's assassination.

The first object of suspicion was the Soviet Union, which many believed to have been committed by the Soviet Kerberg.

Various major newspapers and tabloids published articles one after another, and some political commentators denounced this behavior of the Soviet Union as a shameless and arrogant provocation in a vain attempt to provoke a third world war.

At the same time, the international situation is unprecedentedly tense, giving the impression that war is about to be fought.

————————————

"Zijun, you won't really fight, will you?" Lin Qingxia said worriedly, "Do you think the mainland will take the opportunity to attack Taiwan?" ”

"Poof!" Wang Zijun laughed, "You really have imagination." ”

"What's so funny?" Lin Qingxia glanced at Wang Zijun and said, "The presidents of the United States have been assassinated by the Soviet Union, and if a war starts, the mainland will definitely take the opportunity to attack Taiwan." ”

"Don't worry, President Chiang is wise and martial, one person can fight more than a million troops, and the army can't beat it." Wang Zijun, who knew the details of this assassination, almost laughed off his big teeth.

"Hippie smiley, I won't tell you." Lin Qingxia said angrily.

"Director, the camera is ready!"

“OK！” Wang Zijun stood up and patted Lin Qingxia's fragrant shoulder, and said with a smile, "Okay, filming, don't think about it." ”

Lin Qingxia had no choice but to follow over to help. She will stay in the United States for about a month, and then she will return to Taipei to do business. Lin Qingxia all followed Wang Zijun to help, and there was no important work, just a cameo appearance as a makeup artist, a reflector or something. Lin Qingxia, who has faded out of the film industry for many years, is full of interest when she does this, just like playing a game.

The big scene on the deck was filmed within a few days, and then it was back to the Hollywood studio to shoot again.

Don't look at the huge hull of the model, it's actually just a shell, and the scenes in the cabin are all filmed in a studio built with a warehouse.

Just when the crew returned to Hollywood, President Reagan's assassination investigation finally had a breakthrough in substance.

The suspect has been caught, and what shocked people is that the murderer is not Kerberg from the Soviet Union, but an ordinary American middle school youth.

Well, supposedly still a psychopath.

The American people were angry, and bluntly said that the investigators of the case insulted the intelligence of the masses, and if they couldn't find the real culprit, they would forget it, and they would just find a young man to carry the black pot.

Can an ordinary young man with no background actually injure His Excellency the President and his bodyguards, and kill the female secretary of Mr. President?

The facts were quickly investigated, and it turned out that the Soviet Union was really wronged.

The assassin of the president was called John. Hinckley, after watching "Taxi Driver", became madly obsessed with Judy. Foster. After writing a letter to bother him, he ran to assassinate the president like the hero of "Taxi Driver", hoping to arouse the "qingren" Judy in his dreams. Foster's attention.

As soon as the results of the investigation were announced, all the people of the United States collectively vomited three liters of blood, and the whole world fell through the glasses.

Even more unlucky was Judy. Foster, who was studying at Yale University in good manners, suddenly fell into the presidential assassination case and was squarantined by the FBI. Not only that, but public opinion was also scolding, even scolding Judy. Foster's time was even more powerful than scolding Wang Zijun last year.

It didn't take long for the reporters to finally find Wang Zijun.

One day, on the way home from filming between Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxia, several reporters stopped Wang Zijun's car and asked, "Zachley, Judy." Foster is the heroine of "The Pianist at Sea", and now she is quarantined and censored, does it affect the filming progress of the film? ”

"Uh," Wang Zijun really didn't want to use this to promote it, but now he can't avoid it at all, "Judy is a good friend of mine, and I believe that she is innocent and will soon be free." I will wait for her for a while, and I will not change the heroine at will. ”

"And what do you think about the assassination of the president?" The reporter asked.

"I have great sympathy for President Reagan's plight. He used to be a good actor, and now he's a good president. Wang Zijun said, "I hope he can recover as soon as possible." ”

The reporter continued: "Then you were interested in John a few months ago. What do you think about Lennon's assassination? He was assassinated by his own fans. ”

What god is this turning into?

Wang Zijun said: "I like the Beatles songs very much, they are all great singers. John. Lennon's death was a loss for world music. ”

"Have you ever thought that one day your fans will be against you? Your peachy news last year caused a lot of dissatisfaction among admirers. The reporter asked.

It turned out to be set here!

Wang Zijun said: "I call on fans to be calm and think about their relatives in everything. If you do something illegal or criminal, the most painful thing is your relatives and friends. I don't want to say anything else, please take the road for a while. ”

Wang Zijun's car moved slowly, and the vehicles blocking in front of him were forced to get out of the way.

"It's annoying!" Wang Zijun exhaled.

Lin Qingxia threw herself on Wang Zijun's shoulder and said, "I'm going back to Taipei tomorrow, okay to send me on the plane?" ”

"Okay." Wang Zijun pecked her face.

"I really don't want to go back." Lin Qingxia couldn't help but say that during this time, she and Wang Zijun lived a very happy life in the two-person world, and she was also very happy to do those odd jobs in the crew every day.

"Okay, I made two last films in the United States, and I never came back again. When the time comes, I will accompany you every day. Wang Zijun comforted.

Lin Qingxia thought to herself, I'm afraid it's not alone with me every day. But he didn't say this after all, and he took a bite on Wang Zijun's shoulder with a sulk.

Back at Tulip Manor, Wang Zijun took a shower and was watching a boring American late-night talk show. The host was complaining about the incompetence of President Reagan's bodyguards when the phone rang at home.

Wang Zijun turned off the voice of the small TV, and as soon as he picked up the phone, he heard Madonna shouting inside: "Wang, Wang, I love you, I'm popular, I'm famous!" ”

Wang Zijun's ears were buzzing, and he took the earpiece away and listened to her speak slowly.

It turned out that Wang Zijun's plan for Madonna's fame was very effective, and he chose a newly opened MV TV station and spent a lot of money to brush Madonna's presence in prime time every day.

For a few days, Madonna's avant-garde hole dress, strings of rubber bracelets, strange hairstyles...... In general, it is a non-mainstream dress, coupled with the youth rebellious songs written by Madonna herself, which attracts the rebellious teenagers in the current United States.

Because of the recent presidential assassination, parents strongly discouraged Madonna's rebellious behavior, but it has only fueled the rebellious teenagers.

Wang Zijun's packaging for Madonna was even more successful than that of parallel time and space, because it happened to collide with the presidential assassination case, which caused a bigger controversy.
