"Wei Desheng, Mr. Ning Hao, do you know how many people you two are jealous of?" David Richard asked with a smile.

"I don't know......" Wei Desheng and Ning Hao both shook their heads.

"You may not know that I am Ang Lee's classmate in the directing department at New York University, and I have hoped all my life that someone would invest in making a movie for me, but this wish has not been realized since I was 25 years old until today, and you ~ my god ~ Mr. Li Xiaole's Black Pearl Company is willing to invest so much money in you to make your dreams come true...... It's really jealous. David Richard's wrinkled face was piled together and he smiled.

Ning Hao smiled, but Wei Desheng, who was wearing a black peaked cap, shook his head stubbornly and said:

"I don't think I'm lucky, I think I'm the most suitable director in Taiwan to shoot "Sadek Balai", and I will become the most Haode director under the age of 40 in Taiwan in the future, so director Li Xiaole chose to invest in me, and I think this decision is very wise." Nominally, both of them are directors brought out by Li Xiaole, but deep down, their talented young man is very eager to surpass Li Xiaole, Li Xiaole is also the target of their pursuit for the two of them, not only Wei Desheng, who has an upright personality, but even Ning Hao, who has always been very bad, wants to wrestle with Li Xiaole in his heart.

"Hehe, Mr. Wei Desheng, you are really very confident." David Richard squinted his eyes and laughed, then turned his head and asked Li Xiaole:

"Mr. Wei Desheng said that he will become the most Haode director under the age of 40 in Taiwan, what do you think, Director Li?"

"I very much agree with director Wei Desheng, I think he is now the most haode among the new generation of directors in Taiwan." Li Xiaole smiled.

"We know the three of you in the movie "Those People We Chased Together"; "Cape No. 7"; The three works of "No Man's Land" will be released at the end of the year, you will become competitors with each other, and Director Li is also a director in Taiwan, who do you think is better than Director Wei Desheng? David Richard began to casually pick up the two contrasts, which were clearly the reader's favorite.

"Who do I think is better?" Li Xiaole looked at Wei Desheng, Wei Desheng's eyes were full of fighting spirit, without the slightest hint of modesty, the director of this bulldog character finally directed the movie independently, I am afraid that he is also holding back his strength to prove himself, after all, "Sedek Balai" has stolen too much light by himself, and everyone ignores Wei Desheng's credit.

If it was the slippery Ning Hao, then Li Xiaole would make a joke to make him get off the stage and not be so nervous, but this arrogant Wei Desheng needed more encouragement, thinking of this, Li Xiaole couldn't hide his frivolity and laughed:

"Director Wei is the best director under the age of 40 in Taiwan, and Director Ning is the best director under the age of 40 in the mainland." As he spoke, he pointed his finger at himself and smiled:

"And I'...... I'm probably the best director under the age of 30 on the planet. ”

This time it was not only Wei Desheng Ning Hao, but even David Richard was stunned for two seconds, and then immediately reacted, and asked Li Xiaole excitedly: "Director Li means that you have confirmed that you will go to Hollywood to develop?" It seems that this is the only way to prove that you are one of the most haode directors on the planet. ”

"Well, there's this jihua." Li Xiaole smiled and nodded: "Now this "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" may be a movie that I use as a Chinese-owned Zuihou, if there are other directors in the Chinese area who want to prove that they are better than me, I am afraid that the end of the year will be their chance." ”

With such young and frivolous words, Li Xiaole's eyes were on Wei Desheng and Ning Hao, both of whom are leaders in supporting a new generation of Chinese directors, and he should give them a chance to compete fairly, so that they can use their most Haode works to break their wrists with the same level of production specifications.

After this year, I'm afraid the two of them will no longer be able to compete on the same production specifications by themselves.

"Good...... It's so exciting, Director Li has finally entered North America, and I believe this is what everyone wants to see. David Richard, although he looked excited, was unimpressed in his heart, he had seen too many examples of Asia's top directors entering Hollywood.

Park Chan-wook, the director of South Korea's genius cult films, Xu Ke, the geek of Hong Kong's new martial arts films, and Iran's national treasure director Abbas Kiarostami, they are all grandmasters of various genre films, but when they arrived in North America, they were all unaccustomed to the soil and soil and the box office was dismal, as well as Chen Kaige and Miike Takashi...... Such examples abound...... Li Xiaole may be considered a top director in Asia, but he does not have an advantage over those Asian directors who have been in the United States, and his age is his fatal wound, it is hard to imagine that Li Xiaole, who does not have any American educational background, can survive in the special cultural system of Hollywood.

After the interview, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, Li Xiaole and Wei Desheng Ning Hao bought some beer and lo-mei, and chatted together in the office while eating.

"Director Li, do you really plan to go to Hollywood after filming this film?" Ning Hao took a glass of beer and gently touched the glass with Li Xiaole.

"Do you think I'm stupid to do that?" Li Xiaole raised his glass and smiled, turned his head to look at Wei Desheng, who was dialing the Aleflex 535 camera, and said: "Old Wei~ You light, don't break it!" ”

"You're leaving, don't let me touch this baby, why don't I always get that Xie Jin's declension shooting method......" Wei Desheng said reluctantly fiddling with the frame rate adjuster of the lens.

"You have to use your middle finger to control more, and use your index finger to adjust the strength." Li Xiaole frowned.

"Actually, you want to go to the United States, I can understand that." Ning Hao looked at Li Xiaole and turned around, and sighed deeply to continue the topic just now: "You have also made comedies, serious war films, and aiqing films, each of which is so good, if you just stay in China, it is indeed a bit condescending......"

"Long live understanding." Li Xiaole raised his wine glass and toasted.

"But ......" Ning Hao sighed deeply, looked at Li Xiaole and said regretfully:

"I've always fantasized that the three of us will make movies in China together, and we will top the box office charts every year, and we will beat those Hollywood movies to the ......," he said, looking at Wei Desheng, who came over, and handed over the wine glass with pride:

"Old Wei~! You are in charge of Taiwan~"

"No problem." Wei De overcame the wine glass, sat down, and observed Li Xiaole's reaction through the reflection of the wine glass.

"I'm in charge of the mainland!" Ning Hao poured himself full of wine again, and turned his head to look at Li Xiaole: "Director Li, you are responsible, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, so that in the next 20 years, as long as we are not sick or painful, the entire Asian film market will be our world in the future......"

But after imagining the illusory future, Ning Hao could only smile bitterly and accept the reality and shake his head: "But Director Li, you are leaving now, you have to join the camp of American devils, and in the future, you will bring a bunch of foreign girls and foreign devils, and come back every summer and Christmas to abuse the two of us......"

The age difference between the three is not much, and they are all revolutionary feelings, they often have nothing to do together to drink and talk about movies, I don't know how happy it is, it has become a part of life, Li Xiaole left like this, Ning Hao was really reluctant in his heart.

"What are you afraid of, no matter what American movie it is, it can't do us in our territory, and Director Li has no drama when he comes back with an American film." Wei Desheng, who was sitting opposite, snorted and said disapprovingly.

"Lao Wei, don't pretend, I know you're uncomfortable, Director Li is more uncomfortable than me, when you hugged Director Li and cried, you weren't as hard as you are now, and when Director Li left, I'm afraid you will have to hide in the bed and cry for a few days." Ning Hao smiled.

Wei Desheng didn't face this problem directly, just raised his hand and drank a glass of wine, and suddenly looked at Li Xiaole with some discomfort and said: "Director Li, in fact, I don't think you need to go to the United States at all, even if you make Chinese films, you are not invincible all over the world......

"Really?" Li Xiaole smiled lightly and stuffed a piece of braised chicken wings into his mouth.

"Don't believe it." Wei Desheng said very confidently: "To be honest, many of your shooting techniques are not very mature, that is, the victory lies in the excellent script, the subject matter is pleasing and the investment is very large, in fact, many details can't catch up with me and Lao Ning, and this time your subject matter is not popular, and I and Lao Ning both have more investment than you, and you may not be able to win us at the end of the year." ”

"Eh~ I don't dare to say this~" Ning Hao hurriedly shouted.

"Lao Ning, don't be humble first." Wei Desheng glared at Ning Hao, Ning Hao immediately understood and immediately stopped silent, just lowered his head, his eyes secretly aimed at Wei Desheng, wanting to see what kind of medicine his gourd was selling.

"Director Li, why don't we take a gamble." Wei Desheng raised his hand and put the bottle of wine on the table, and looked at Li Xiaole's eyes with confidence:

"If your "Those Years" can win my "Haijiao No. 7" and Lao Ning's "No Man's Land" at the box office in mainland Taiwan at the end of the year, then you prove that it is indeed time to go to the United States, otherwise you should stay first."

"Okay~This idea is good~~" Ning Hao reacted, immediately clapped his hands in agreement, turned his head to Li Xiaole and said, "Director Li, how interesting this bet is, let's have fun." ”

"Two-on-one...... Isn't that too fair......" Li Xiaole squinted his eyes, his heart was like a mirror, these two boys wanted to pull him into the ditch, but at the same time, they also felt the sincere feelings of the two for him, they were very worried that they would run into a wall in Hollywood...... These two people have a far better understanding of his director's true ability than others, and I am afraid that he also sees that his strength is still very insufficient if he is now logged into Hollywood.

"There's nothing unfair about this, in terms of fame and box office appeal, Director Li, you are too much better than us, the two of us are normal to you." Ning Hao hurriedly argued, and Wei Desheng, who has always been arrogant, rarely did not speak out about it, this time digging a pit and leaving Director Li is better than him going to the United States and hitting his head and bleeding back...... "Wei Desheng, Mr. Ning Hao, do you know how many people you two are jealous of?" David Richard asked with a smile.

"I don't know......" Wei Desheng and Ning Hao both shook their heads.

"You may not know that I am Ang Lee's classmate in the directing department at New York University, and I have hoped all my life that someone would invest in making a movie for me, but this wish has not been realized since I was 25 years old until today, and you ~ my god ~ Mr. Li Xiaole's Black Pearl Company is willing to invest so much money in you to make your dreams come true......
