Chapter 258: Director, an enviable profession

As soon as he got off the plane yesterday, Jung Sung-hyun informed Peter Jackson that if nothing else, he should be here today. Net ≯≯

Therefore, Zheng Chengxian just ate a small 'dessert' and let go of Quanbao Blue, and prepared to eat a 'big meal' in the evening.

When Peter finally came near noon, he warmly invited the two to his home as guests as soon as they met, and Zheng Chengxian naturally refused so he gladly agreed.

In fact, he still wanted to see Peter's wife, not because of any dirty thoughts, but purely out of admiration and curiosity.

The original screenwriter of the movie "The Lord of the Rings" was Peter's wife Fran. She is Peter's partner and has many hats, and she has helped Peter a lot in his work. In an interview, Peter Jackson frankly admitted that he would not have achieved fame without his wife.

Such a strong woman, it is definitely a pity not to see the previous side.

The three of them talked and laughed all the way to Peter's villa by the sea.

From a distance, I saw the hostess standing at the door to greet the guests, dressed in simple and simple clothes, smiling and groaning. looks like an ordinary housewife, without the slightest appearance of a strong woman.

This surprised Zheng Chengxian, in his mind, strong women are all dressed in old-fashioned uniforms, big black-framed glasses are not smiling, and Fran's affinity is unexpected.

"This must be the famous 'Mad Master', right?" Fran smiled and stretched out his hand to Jung Sung-hyun from afar.

Peter introduced with a little pride: "Zheng, this is my wife Fran!" ”

"Hello Ms. Fran! I am Zheng Chengxian" shook her hand politely, turned her head and introduced Baolan: "This is my wife, Miss Baolan!" ”

This somewhat confusing title made Peter and his family pause for a moment, and then smiled disapprovingly, and warmly beckoned them into the house.

When he was about to enter the door, Quan Baolan stepped on Zheng Chengxian without a trace, and walked into the house with his head held high proudly. Although her English was not very good, she still understood those words, and Zheng Chengxian introduced them without asking for her opinion, which made her ashamed.

After inviting the two into the house, Fran went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, leaving Peter to entertain Jung Sung-hyun and them.

Peter's house is very simple and unpretentious, no different from an ordinary family. The only difference is the thick books that are everywhere.

Zheng Chengxian was very interested in picking up a book and flipped through it, it was a book of poems, although it was a little old but not a little damaged, and there were many annotations in it.

"Peter, you must be a person who loves to read," Jung Sung-hyun said casually, and then jokingly said: "At least I don't have so many books from you at home"

"Haha, don't laugh at me" Peter laughed, walked over with two glasses of amber liquid, and handed them to Jung Sung-hyun: "I don't have the imagination of you, so I can only rely on reading to satisfy my fantasies about those magical worlds"

Zheng Chengxian took the cup and took a sip, it was wine! Do you start drinking at noon? It's no wonder that people say New Zealanders love wine.

"I'm similar to you, I always like to think about messy things, but I have a bad memory, so I'm going to write it down," Jung Sung-hyun replied self-deprecatingly, picking up the royal blue cup and pouring some of the wine in her cup to himself.

"You're so good to your wife!" Peter said with a playful face: "However, Miss Quan's cup is a drink, and Flange made it himself, and the color is not very good-looking."

Zheng Chengxian was dumbfounded, picked up the royal blue cup and smelled it without believing in evil, there was really no taste of wine, and looked at her reproachfully: "Why don't you sue me?" ”

"You don't ask, just pick it up, I didn't have time~~" Quan Baolan replied slyly: "Just like you said just now that I am your wife"

Zheng Chengxian smiled bitterly, and said to Peter embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I made you laugh!" ”

"No, no!" Peter shook his hand unmindfully: "Oriental people are always so careful, and we Western men are far inferior to you in this regard."

"Let's do it with each other~~ Sometimes we do it too carefully, but we will ignore the overall situation" Zheng Chengxian quickly pulled the topic away with interest.

"Perhaps, but I don't see it in you," Peter praised.

Reached out and took out a book from the gap between the sand cushions, patted the cover and praised his face: "Just like this "Lord of the Rings", it can be said that it is comprehensive, and there is no better way"

This compliment made Zheng Chengxian blush, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop Peter from continuing: "Peter, you are too complimentary, not as good as you say"

"Why not!"

Peter's eager defense seemed to be more excited than the original author of Jung Sung-hyun: "I have read a lot of scripts and scripts, and I can count them on one hand that can attract me so much."

"Do you know what I think about the most every day right now?"

"What," Zheng Chengxian asked stunned.

"The rest of the story!" Peter patted it, his face full of anticipation:

"I want to know what will happen to Frodo, what other hardships they will suffer, and whether the ring will be destroyed. It's a pity, as I said earlier, I don't have the imagination like yours to think of it," Peter shook his head in annoyance, looking frustrated.

Zheng Chengxian had already heard the implicit meaning in Peter's words, and he didn't intend to hide it from him, so he replied cheerfully:

"I have already started to create the second part of "The Lord of the Rings", and I believe that I will be able to meet you soon."

"Really?"

Peter's eyes lit up and he looked excited.

"Of course!"

Jung Sung-hyun nodded: "The second part will follow the story of the first part, and Frodo will continue his journey of protecting the ring"

Tolkien, the original author of The Lord of the Rings, took 12 years to complete. After decades of time fermentation, it was finally put on the screen in 2oo5.

Jung Sung-hyun couldn't wait that long, so he wrote directly according to the progress of the movie, in order to let the movie meet everyone as soon as possible. Although it lacks the brewing of time, a classic is a classic after all, and even this pinch of the head and tail still does not detract from its charm.

Hearing that the second part was already being created, Peter scratched his ears and cheeks happily, and his funny appearance caused Quan Baolan to laugh again and again.

"Are you going to bring the second part to the screen?" After being excited, Peter asked uneasily.

"Of course, who is afraid of having a lot of money? There are the results of the first part there, and I am very much looking forward to the second part. Jung Sung-hyun smiled as a matter of course:

"However, it may take a while to get to the screen. One is that the influence of this movie has not been completely excavated. The second is that I've been busy lately and may not have time to write a script."

Peter agrees with the first point: "That's it, a great work stands the test of time, and hastily opening it is a very irresponsible waste"

"You are such a wise director," Jung Sung-hyun said with heartfelt admiration:

"At first, I was really worried that you would ask for continuous shooting"

"No, no, no, you can spare me!"

Peter pretended to be panicked and waved his hand again and again, which undoubtedly made him feel much more relieved to solve a heart problem, and he was in the mood to joke again.

Stretched out his hand and patted his stomach, and asked Zheng Chengxian mysteriously: "Haven't you appeared, am I any different from last time?" ”

"Different?"

Zheng Chengxian looked at it suspiciously: "It's no different, it's just that I've lost some weight!" ”

"I've lost a lot of weight!"

Peter pretended to be aggrieved: "In order to make your movie, I lost more than 1oo pounds, didn't you pay attention?" ”

"Are there so many?" Zheng Chengxian touched his nose in embarrassment and said weakly.

In order to shoot "The Lord of the Rings", Peter Jackson successfully lost weight from a big fat man to a lightning bolt.

Well, not as exaggerated as lightning.

But he also lost a lot of weight, which Zheng Chengxian had read the report in his previous life, so he was not surprised when he saw it.

"You don't really care about your partner," Peter said bitterly.

"In the future, I don't plan to take on any more films, I want to take a good rest. Fishing, reading books, and when Flange has time, he will go out for a trip."

Speaking of these plans for the future, Peter looked forward to it with happiness.

Zheng Chengxian was very envious, and he also wanted to be like Peter, saying that he could rest when he rested, instead of going out for a trip and still being remembered. (To be continued.) )8
