Chapter Ninety-Nine: Persuasion
After dinner, everyone sat together again and chatted, and this time Ke Zihua felt that everyone had changed significantly. >๏ผฟ๏น8๏ผฟ๏ฝ=๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ผ
Director Wu and Yuan Zhi are not like at the beginning, they always show an impeccable stylized smile, Brother Jie looked at him with a little more cordiality in his eyes, and the atmosphere in the living room became more cordial and warm.
looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was almost eleven o'clock, and if they stayed any longer, it would affect the master's rest, so Ke Zihua got up to say goodbye, and Director Wu and Yuan Zhi also followed him out of Brother Jie's house.
While a few people were walking out, Director Wu came to Ke Zihua's side and said to him: "Xiao Ke, when I came, it was the starling who picked me up, and the place where I live is closer to you, so I'll take your car back." โ
Ke Zihua nodded, and then said to everyone: "Brother Jie, Sister Zhi, don't send it away, I'll go back with Director Wu, and Yuan will point out that you pay more attention to safety on the road." โ
Yuan Zhi smiled and waved at him, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he drove back alone.
Ke Zihua had already driven the car far away, but he could still see Brother Jie and his wife in the rearview mirror, standing at the door watching them leave.
Brother Jie's smile was as bright as ever.
Sister Zhi leaned on his side, looking at this side reluctantly, and waved at the back of their car from time to time.
This scene couldn't help but make Ke Zihua's heart clogged, and it wasn't until then that he realized that in fact, they were just ordinary people.
Unlike these local stars, they live on this land and are home wherever they go.
And people like them who have left their hometowns can only rely on their own efforts to work silently, no matter how much they have achieved before coming here, they have to work hard to gain a firm foothold when they come to Hollywood.
After a short time, the car was on the road. Director Wu, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes, and then said: "Xiao Ke, your opportunity is very good, you must seize it, if there is anything you need our help with, you can call us directly." Don't treat us as outsiders. โ
Ke Zihua nodded heavily, "I know that only by holding together here can we really gain a firm foothold." _>_> itw'w'wยท. `๏ฝ=๏ฝ`๏ฝ`๏ฝ `๏ฝ-๏ผ`๏ผ=๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝโ
Busy days always go by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it's late November.
Although Ke Zihua has no drama these days, he is really busy enough, he has bought a lot of professional books for himself, and he will go to the set every day to learn filming with Senna.
When I come back in the evening, I lock myself in my room and combine what I have learned during the day. Study the knowledge in the book carefully.
Although the time is not long, he feels that he has improved a lot, and even Senna praises him, more and more like a qualified director.
However, Cage and Jolie have a big problem with this, always complaining that he deprives them of their happy time.
Early in the morning, the three of them went to the set in the same car as usual. As usual, the driver still restored his normal Cage, while Ke Zihua was holding a book. Quietly sat in the passenger seat and immersed himself in hard reading.
Julie was very unaccustomed to the silence in the car, patted Ke Zihua's seat and said coquettishly: "I said, can't you put down the book in your hand and talk to us?" Reading in the car can be bad for your eyesight. โ
Ke Zihua closed the book "Film Aesthetics" in his hand, turned his head and smiled at Julie, and then said, "Sister Julie." Am I trying to become a director, and if I'm too bad in the future, how can I ask you to be the protagonist for me? โ
Julie rolled her eyes and said angrily, "You guy, now you lock yourself in the house every day as soon as you come back." I don't chat with us anymore and watch fat dramas; taught us to fight the landlord, but left the two of us there, looking at the playing cards and sighing all day long. โ
"And now I'm not talking in the car anymore, I like to hold a broken book and look there stupidly, please, how old are you? Don't make yourself miserable, is it okay to look old-fashioned than Cage? โ
Cage automatically ignored Julie's slander of herself, and began to complain after taking over her topic: "Brother, you can't do this, you just make movies to be happy, but since you went to your fellow countryman's house, it's like a demon, how long have we not been happy together?" โ
Julie also shook her head and said, "It can't be stimulated by something, right?" Could it be that they are bullying? In that case, I'll go and give you a blow! โ
Ke Zihua hurriedly said: "It's nothing, they treat me very well, don't you run around and mess around?" They're all good people. 8๏ฝ`๏ฝ=๏ฝ-๏ผ=โ
Hearing his words, Julie was a little surprised, and said sourly: "Yes, they are all good people, but I am a bad person, okay?" โ
Ke Zihua knew that she was unhappy, so she had to explain helplessly: "Julie, and Cage, you are all my best friends, and I have been very happy during the time we have been together." โ
"I also know that I have neglected you a little for a while, but I hope you can understand me."
Julie wasn't angry with him, she just felt that she had been left out during this time, and she stopped complaining after listening to Ke Zihua's words, but she wanted to know why Ke Zihua, who had always been cheerful, why she became silent now, so she put her chin on Ke Zihua's shoulder and asked affectionately:
"Good brother, it's my sister who blames you, do you have any difficulties? Then you have to tell us even more, don't hold it in your heart, it will be suffocated. โ
Cage also interjected while driving: "Julie is right, your current appearance is too different from before, and we are not just complaining, but worrying about you." โ
Their words made Ke Zihua feel warm in his heart,
After bumping fists with the two, Ke Zihua continued: "You all know that I now hold the copyright of "Iron Man", and according to the agreement, I must shoot it within three years. โ
"So, I just feel that I have too little time, and only by racing against time can I complete this almost impossible task."
Cage was a little puzzled, "What do you mean?" Do you really want to be a director yourself and make "Iron Man"? โ
"My God, why do you want to do this? Although everyone usually says this, it is just a joke. โ
"Brother, you shouldn't put so much pressure on your shoulders, and then ask another director to shoot. Don't worry about money, you man, I have to say that nothing else may help you, but I don't lack money! โ
Ke Zihua smiled at him gratefully, and then said: "Brother Cage, I am very touched by what you said this, but this is by no means a matter of money, but I really want to be a director, as long as I can solve the most critical problems, I can even start filming tomorrow!" โ
"Actually. I'm not just preparing for Iron Man, and since I've chosen this path, I should learn more while I'm young. โ
Cage still shook his head puzzled, but he didn't say anything, he felt that no matter what, it was a good thing that Ke Zihua could work so hard.
But Julie frowned and said, "I don't agree with you going to be that damn director!" โ
Ke Zihua didn't expect her to have this attitude at all, although she was a little unhappy in her heart. But he still patiently asked, "Julie, can you tell me your reason?" โ
Julie said: "Do you know how many people here watch Marvel comics? โ
Ke Zihua nodded. He replied with a smile: "Although I don't know the specific number, it will definitely be a lot." โ
Seeing that he didn't care at all, Julie's voice became stern: "Not a lot, but almost all!" โ
"When a lot of people are children, their lives are occupied by all kinds of comics, Marvel, DC, Disney, etc."
"But the most watched are Marvel comics. And many people are from a child, all the way to grow up, and even when they have children, they will watch with them! โ
Ke Zihua's expression gradually became stricter, "What do you mean?" โ
Although Julie didn't want to hit Ke Zihua. But he still simply stated the facts: "Do you think these people will let a person like you, who has not even graduated from high school, has not even lived here for a day, and has no directorial experience and achievements, to shoot their heroes?" โ
Listening to Julie's words, Ke Zihua fell silent all of a sudden, Julie was so right, how could they let Ke Zihua be the director? Even if the copyright is now in his hands, it will be absolutely impossible!
Julie didn't stop, but continued to say leisurely: "What's more, you're still a Chinese!" โ
After Julie said this, she found that Ke Zihua's face immediately turned cold, and she quickly explained in a panic: "Oh, Ke, I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else, in fact, I never thought about this damn question, no matter who you are, you are my good friend, good brother." โ
Ke Zihua knew what she meant, so he turned around and smiled at her, patted her hand on the backrest, and comforted: "I know, I know, you said this in order for me to understand more thoroughly." โ
Seeing that he was not angry with himself, Julie was a little better, and continued: "They are just a group of high-minded and self-righteous guys, so I beg you, don't have such thoughts again." โ
"You know, you want to make Iron Man! I don't know how many people have idolized him, but if you knew you were going to be a director, I'm afraid you would be overwhelmed by the crowd of protesters! โ
As soon as Julie spoke, Cage thought of the Yan zhรฒng nature of the question, and then also interjected: "Ke, you can't have such thoughts anymore no matter what, otherwise not only will Marvel take back the copyright in your hands regardless of it, but even Paramount will announce the termination of the contract with you under strong pressure!" โ
Cage then went on to explain: "Everybody, including me and Jolie, thinks you're going to be an investor and an action director, so everyone doesn't care too much, as long as the movie can be made, it doesn't matter if it's ruined." โ
"But! If you were to be the director of "Iron Man" yourself, IMHO, I'm afraid no one would agree to it except me and Jolie! โ
"Those arrogant guys will never allow a Chinese director to shoot the hero in their minds!" (To be continued.) )
