Chapter 107 [Los Angeles has many acquaintances]
Didn't Zhou Xuan and Mitchell at night? Butler had dinner together, called the Olson sisters, and drove to the Beverly Hills villa, where he had promised to cook for the sisters and their families when he returned to Los Angeles.
"Stephen, you've been fantastic lately." David? Olsen gave Zhou Xuan a thumbs up when he saw him.
"You're good-looking, David, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Joan."
Zhou Xuan thinks it's very cool that the United States can call the elders close to them by their names, so that the relationship feels better. And in China, this is a big rebellion, like a mouthful of "you", nodding and bowing to understand politeness, that kind of feeling of always inferior he doesn't like.
David? Olson exclaimed, "I thought you were a waste of talent if you weren't a chef, but now I see you're really better suited to basketball, but I see you fall down many times every game, okay?" ”
"Of course, it's no problem, I often fall when I'm defending because I can't prevent it from being misaligned, and sometimes I have to make fouls, which I did intentionally." Zhou Xuan smiled bitterly.
On the Internet, there are already many people who don't like Zhou Xuan to say this problem, sarcastically saying that Zhou Xuan has poured five or six times in a game, and more than ten times, rolling on the ground to wipe the floor shiny. But it is undeniable that in this way, he can cause offensive fouls in every game where the opponent hits people with the ball.
He gave full play to the advantages of wisdom, and practiced fake falls in training, and if he could prevent it, he could prevent it, and if he couldn't prevent it, he didn't become a colander on the defensive end, but a person who defended well on the outside. Even Kobe Bryant and James often fake falls, why does he want to be a tough guy?
Falling to the ground on the offensive end can also cause a foul, but unfortunately he is not a star now, and the referee often turns a blind eye to the staggered referee who is hit. The referee doesn't like rookies, and many celebrities enjoy the treatment of body hair fouls, dangling before shooting, don't care how the defenders collect their actions, you blow at him, he can make you foul, and the referee is waiting there with a whistle.
"Stephen, what do you want to do at night?" Mary? Kate? Olsen asked.
David said: "You have to compete tomorrow, just don't cook, let Nathan do it, his cooking skills have improved, just you can also evaluate it." ”
"I'll do two too. For me, this hobby is not tiring, and I often cook and eat in Orlando. "Zhou Xuan is in a good mood.
"Not myself." Mary pursed her lips and grunted. Thinking that Zhou Xuan and Nie Yuyan were cooking in the hut every day, you and me, she felt awkward.
Ashley directly said what she wanted to eat, and she was not polite at all.
After dinner, Zhou Xuan chatted with the two sisters for a while and was ready to leave, he had to go to another appointment.
Mary was displeased: "I left so soon, and I want to see if you have made any progress in playing the game console." ”
"There's definitely a step back, I haven't played since I left here." Zhou Xuan shook his head and said lightly: "If I leave too late, I don't know what Lu Dao will say if a reporter takes a photo." ”
"Are you afraid that Nie will be jealous?" Mary asked.
"Actually, yes."
In the face of Zhou Xuan's frankness, Mary was a little helpless, she would want to clarify when there were scandals before. Now she really wants to have some scandal with Zhou Xuan, and then Nie Yuyan will return to China as soon as she finishes school. She is very depressed, why is her love life always not going well? But if the other party doesn't like her, she won't take the initiative to chase her, so isn't it with Paris? Is there no difference in Hilton's behavior? She is not an abusive person like Hilton, and her good impression of Zhou Xuan is not to the point where she can't live without him.
Leaving Olson's apartment, Zhou Xuan gave Kolo again? Moretz made a phone call.
"Yes, when you came to Los Angeles, you called me." Lori pretended to be an adult on the other end of the phone.
"I've always done what I said."
"Did you practice gymnastics?"
"I've done yoga, and gymnastics will probably have to wait until the summer offseason." Zhou Xuan smiled bitterly.
Chloe asked, "Then will you come to Los Angeles in the summer, we can practice together, and I will teach you." ”
"Today the agent told me that there should be a lot of arrangements and that I will definitely come to Los Angeles." If you don't go back to China, Los Angeles is indeed a good place, so bring Nie Yuyan over and have a good time here.
"Okay, then you can go to the crew to watch me perform, and I will go to watch you compete with my second brother tomorrow." Chloe said.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Xuan hung up the phone, he was going to be a guest at Gilmour's manor in the suburbs of Los Angeles and chat with the fat man.
Through Nie Yuyan's introduction, Zhou Xuan also knew how big Gilmour was, and this guy had a lot of personality.
A few days ago, Warner approached Gilmour and wanted to invest 100 million for him to shoot "I Am Legend", but he drove people away as soon as he read the script. "Lao Tzu hates you guys the most bad movies that fight and kill, and the plot of the end times!"
Warner wondered, did he think he had too little money? Or is the original too famous? No, I can't let him look flat. So he sent someone to find him, took a sequel to a well-known script, and asked weakly: "Boss, please make a film called "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", this is a deposit of 200 million, not enough to add it later, what do you think?"
Gilmour shouted angrily: "You get away from Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu hates this kind of film that lives in an ethereal fantasy all day long." ”
Warner was defeated again.
In short, Gilmour is a psychopath, he doesn't look at money, he doesn't look at people, he only reads the script, and he must be the kind he likes. He also has this style of making friends, no matter what the other party is famous or does, he just looks pleasing to the eye. And he looked at Zhou Xuan very pleasing to the eye.
Gilmour is very interested in Chinese culture and has read "Journey to the West", in his eyes, "Journey to the West" is a "beautiful and crazy" myth, and Sun Wukong is a lawless monkey who gradually walks on the right path "super?hero"!
Gilmour is also a DVD collector, having amassed more than 7,000 DVDs. These include all the works of Bruce Lee and Stephen Chow, and Donnie Yen has also had a lot of movies, and he invited Donnie Yen to be a martial arts instructor when he was filming "Blade 2".
Zhou Xuan took a car to a desolate manor outside the suburbs of Los Angeles and called Gilmour, and the old otaku came out to greet him in person. He wears retro round-framed glasses, has naturally curly hair, has an unkempt beard, and wears casual clothes suitable for young people, and has a bloated body but looks very spirited.
"Hi Stephen, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"I'm also very happy to see you, how are you doing, is the movie going well?"
"Generally, let's go, go in and talk."
Gilmour's abode is an offbeat one, consisting of several villas connected to each other, guarded by alien monster sculptures. Under his guidance, Zhou Xuan seemed to follow Ophelia behind the god Pan, and entered this bizarre and interesting dark labyrinth.
From floor to ceiling, the house was filled with things. Biological models, installation paintings, and mechanical toys. Gilmour's favorites are Frankenstein and monsters, and Ultraman, who fights monsters, naturally won't let go, and the house is full of models, including his bedroom.
Gilmour regarded these things as treasures, and he could name each treasure, and explained to Zhou Xuan with a smile. This guy is such an old naughty boy.
There are sixteen small libraries in Bleak Hills, each with its own theme. After visiting the house, he took Zhou Xuan into his favorite "rain house".
The windows are characteristic, forming a rain curtain, the light is very dim, and when you enter the house and press it with the remote control, there is a rustling of rain and lightning and thunder in the house.
"It's amazing how you can make such a room?" Zhou Xuan exclaimed, feeling as if it was raining outside.
The maid brought coffee and snacks, and Gilmour smiled, "Sit down." It rarely rains in Los Angeles, so I created this house. Through the window of my room, I can not only see the rain all year round, but also hear the sound of the rain, which inspires me to create.
"This is the Hellboy baby?" Zhou Xuan picked up the famous revolver of the Hellboy from the sofa.
"Well, I'm more satisfied with the work."
Zhou Xuan asked, "You didn't ask me to come just to show me around the mansion, right?" ”
Gilmour smiled: "Of course not, I want to make a film related to Chinese mythology next, but I have no inspiration, so I want to discuss it with you, maybe you can give me some inspiration." ”
Zhou Xuan shrank his neck and sighed: "Big brother, you think too highly of me, I'm just a player." ”
"You have a talent for writing screenplays, and I believe in you. And you know more about Chinese culture than I do, so if I rush to write a script, I won't be able to. Gilmour laughed. "The King of Kung Fu", which had a bad reputation before, had a good box office, and he also wanted to make one after watching it.
Zhou Xuan smiled bitterly: "Chinese mythology is not so easy to film, especially ancient costumes, it's not something I can make up casually, and if I don't make your movie, it will cause disgust." ”
The previous song "MonkeyBee" filmed a Journey to the West MTV, which made people thunder on the outside and tender on the inside, and Monkey King was made into a Japanese devil shape, simply trying to challenge the limits of the Chinese. If Gilmour shoots randomly, I don't know what will happen to the road.
"Really?"
"Definitely not, it's not that I'm afraid of trouble, if it is logical, I will definitely help." Zhou Xuan thought for a while and said lightly: "If you can shoot a Chinese superhero, like the feeling of "Hellboy", I think it will be successful." ”
"For what?"
"Because Chinese movies are made, the protagonists with strong martial arts are basically costume dramas, and almost never make movies related to the future, there are very few science fiction themes, and Chinese domestic directors can't make them well. There are so many superheroes in the American Marvel universe, even Japan has Ultraman to fight monsters, but China does not. You don't have to shoot myths, "Kung Fu Panda" is just very good with Chinese kung fu. Zhou Xuan said his thoughts, and it has to be said that it is a pity that there are no science fiction films in China.
Gilmour pondered that this year's animated film "Kung Fu Panda" swept the world, achieving a box office result of $630 million, which is higher than "Hellboy 2". Set against the backdrop of ancient China, the landscape, scenery, costumes and food are full of Chinese elements. The story tells the story of a clumsy panda who aspires to become a master of martial arts. It is true that he has only been involved with China, and he has already made a lot of money and a good reputation. What if you make a heroic sci-fi film and add Chinese elements? It should be on fire!
He suddenly came to inspiration, pulled Zhou Xuan's arm excitedly, and said with a smile: "You are right, I think about it." After the filming of "Crazy Mountain" is finished, I will write a script with Chinese elements, make a Chinese superhero, a sci-fi blockbuster, Xie Lu Xie! Thank you so much! ”
Zhou Xuan didn't know what he thought of, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, you came up with it yourself, I just said a few words." ”
