Chapter 488: Drama

Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

Entering the suite booked by the organizer, Murphy first briefly looked around, and then helped Gal Gadot pack his luggage, and the two continued the topic at the same time. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Every girl in a big city has her own pride." Gal Gadot hung his dress in his closet, "For example, girls in New York like to laugh at girls in Los Angeles, and girls in Los Angeles laugh at girls from other smaller cities. ”

"There's such a thing as geo-discrimination," Murphy picked up the shoebox and handed it to Gal Gadot, "it's everywhere." ”

"Who else would discriminate against girls in big cities like Shanghai?" Gal Gadot took the shoebox and placed it on the shoe rack under the dress.

Murphy shrugged, "The last time I came here for the premiere, I heard a story about the Shanghai girl. ”

"Oh?" Gal Gadot was interested, "Let's hear it." ”

"There are only two kinds of people in this world who will chase the Americans." Murphy raised two fingers, "Shanghai women and Taliban men." ”

Gal Gadot couldn't understand this kind of joke with the color of 'worshipping foreign and flattering', thought for a while, and asked, "What do you mean?" Do Shanghai girls like American men very much? ”

"That's kind of what it means."

This kind of explanation is quite cumbersome, and Murphy simply nodded and continued to help Gal Gadot with his luggage.

After packing their luggage, the two went to the bathroom for a brief wash, and Murphy lay down with Gal Gadot in his arms and quickly fell asleep.

In the following day or so, Murphy and Gal Gadot were jet lag, before the start of the event, specially went to the PDX area to see, although the construction has not really started, but Walt Disney and the Shanghai Disneyland here have been determined, in the face of such a huge investment, the future Walt Disney's films and related peripheral products, undoubtedly faster and easier than other Hollywood companies to enter this vast market.

Even, in the future, most of Walt Disney's PG and PG-13 major commercial films will be released simultaneously in China and the United States.

In these respects, Walt Disney is already ahead of all Hollywood companies.

Compared to Disney's children's films, it will be extremely difficult for his films to enter this market, and it can even be said that as long as the basic standards of Big Scissors remain the same, Murphy's films will be difficult to release in theaters here, and the distribution of genuine DVDs and online versions will also be restricted.

In fact, the films here can basically only rely on the box office to make profits, and the sales of peripheral products are negligible, but they are pitiful, whether it is domestic films here, or Hollywood films that are completely industrial chain in North America and Europe.

"Strictly speaking......"

On the bus to the U.S.-China Film Forum, Murphy told Gal Gadot, "In the next five years, or even longer, this market will be closed for me." ”

Gal Gadot was puzzled, "Honey, then why are we still here?" ”

"This is ......" Murphy didn't know what to say for a while, he couldn't tell the truth, that would be too idiotic, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "It's a complicated thing." ”

"Hmm." Gal Gadot nodded, but didn't ask any further.

She knew Murphy very well, and she had long seen that Murphy was hiding some secrets, which no one knew except himself, but he didn't say it, and she never asked, who in this world didn't have secrets?

The car drove into a top university in Shanghai and pulled up in front of a large auditorium that could seat hundreds of people, and Murphy and Gal Gadot walked in through the side door, and in a break room, they met the people who participated in the American side of the U.S.-China Film Forum.

Most of them are not very well-known people, except for the fat man.

"Murphy!"

When Humpty Dumpty saw Murphy, he immediately stood up and greeted him, "It's great to see you here." ”

Then, he looked at Gal Gadot again, "It's even better to see the beautiful Miss Gadot!" ”

Murphy walked over and reached out to shake Humpty Dumpty, "Joe, I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

He didn't know exactly who would attend.

Humpty Dumpty shook Murphy's hand, then shook Gal Gadot's hand politely, and then said, "No way, publicity needs, that Cameron guy won't participate in this kind of event, so I'm here." ”

This Humpty Dumpty is none other than Jon Landau, the producer of "Titanic" and "Avatar", and a long-time collaborator of James Cameron.

Listening to Jon Landau say this, and he is also working with Twentieth Century Fox, Murphy understands that Jon Landau's purpose in participating in this event is not simple, I am afraid that a considerable part of it is for the upcoming release of "Avatar".

After a few words of chat, someone informed that a discussion was about to begin, and the Sino-American Film Forum lasted for two weeks, and Murphy could not have stayed in Shanghai for so long, so this discussion was the focus of his participation.

Seven or eight people from the American film industry, led by Murphy and Jon Landau, walked onto the rostrum of the auditorium.

The moment they took the stage, there was silence in the auditorium, which was originally a bit chaotic, and then thunderous applause erupted, and Murphy and Gal Gadot sat in the two adjacent seats, looking down, not only the seats were filled with black crowds, but also people were standing in the corridors and aisles.

The faces of these people looked quite young, and Murphy's guess was that most of them should be students at this university.

People from the American film industry sat on the left side of the podium, and the empty seats opposite each other quickly sat filmmakers from China.

There are about ten people over there, and there are a few faces in them, which Murphy is very familiar with, such as the very recognizable Jiang Xiaojun and Feng Daya, and the other few he doesn't know, they should be the same as his side, and they may be some playwrights.

There was another round of applause in the auditorium, but when the men sat down, Murphy noticed that they were still empty.

Gal Gadot leaned over and whispered, "There must be important people who haven't come, right?" ”

"Hmm." Murphy nodded.

According to the habit here, there must be a heavyweight who has not arrived.

The organizers have made sufficient preparations in advance, and although the scene is very warm, the order has been very good.

Then, a man who looked to be in his sixties slowly came out of the backstage and walked towards the chair at the front of the row of people opposite Murphy, this person seemed to be very unusual, Feng Daya and Jiang Xiaojun greeted him with a smile, he just nodded expressionlessly, and the shelf was full.

Murphy didn't know who he was, and neither did the students in the audience know who he was, and when the organizers introduced Cheng Baoguang, the honorary vice president of the Film Society, the vice chairman of the Writers Guild, and the famous playwright and professor, there was almost no applause in the audience.

There has always been a discussion of seniority here, and Murphy immediately knew that this must be an old qualification and old-timer in the industry, and maybe he is inextricably linked with the official.

The man named Cheng Baoguang turned his head to look at the bottom of the rostrum, and seemed not very satisfied with the sparse applause, and the unhappiness on his face flashed.

At this moment, the students under the rostrum suddenly stood up, looking quite excited, and some people were even shouting, Cheng Baoguang was just relieved, thinking that these young people had not forgotten him, a famous figure who specialized in writing red movies and works, who knew that the shouts came up with the applause, making his face embarrassed.

"Guilty of being polite! Guilty of being polite! ”

Obviously, these shouts and applause are not for Cheng Baoguang.

Cheng Baoguang turned his head and looked behind, a fashionably dressed woman had already stepped onto the rostrum, constantly turning around and waving around, causing more enthusiastic responses from below.

Thinking of the coldness when he came on stage, and then looking at the current fanaticism, Cheng Baoguang is very faceless, especially as the woman turned around, there was almost no fabric on the back of her skirt, naked. The exposed snow-white skin made him feel quite dazzling.

At the same time, Cheng Baoguang's proud self-esteem that has always been held by people in the circle such as Feng Daya and Jiang Xiaojun is also stung.

When he was a dignified lord. Revolve. Law writer, enjoy the country. Jiajin. The professors and experts posted are not as good as a female actor?

Cheng Baoguang sat on the chair with a gloomy face.

The atmosphere in the auditorium was high, and someone walked over to persuade the female star, and the female star also knew that the occasion was wrong, so she first smiled and nodded to the people in Murphy's row, and then walked back to smile at the people in her row, and then sat on the chair at the back.

It took a long time for the organizer's staff and host to silence the enthusiastic audience.

"She's very charismatic." Gal Gadot whispered to Murphy.

Murphy nodded, "Hmm." ”

Although the popular works are not popular, this is indeed embarking on a road to superstardom, which has been criticized by countless people, but Murphy has been mixed in Hollywood for so many years, and even more unbearable stars have seen it, what she does is nothing in Hollywood.

There are also many stars in Hollywood who are not popular like her, such as Jessica Alba, Kate Beckinsale, Charlize Theron, Gwyneth Paltrow, etc., all sound very famous, but there are very few truly influential works, the latter two are better, at least they have won the Oscar, and the popularity of the first two here even exceeds that of North America.

After the translation was in place, the discussion finally began.

A bald host wearing glasses held the microphone and stood in the middle of the two rows of people, and after a long speech, he said, "Today we have invited many outstanding filmmakers from China and the United States to discuss the ...... of film art."

"We're talking about the art of film, right?"

A slightly old voice interrupted the bald host's words, and the host was a little embarrassed, but when he saw that it was Cheng Baoguang who stood up, he had to nod and say, "Yes, film art." ”

"Good! Since we are talking about film art......" Cheng Baoguang stretched out his hand and pointed to the back of his row, "What qualifications does a drama have!" (To be continued.) )
