Chapter 118: A Story
"I'm curious about one thing, something related to you."
Leonardo hadn't arrived at the office on the set yet, Xiansen looked at the time, there was still more than half an hour before lunch, so he stopped what he was doing, and after tidying up the folders, he and Tom. Hanks chatted.
"Tom, judging from your schedule, you seem to attach great importance to the movie "My Greek Wedding", but as far as I know, except for you, most of this crew are newcomers, from the director to the actors, they are all unknown newcomers."
As he spoke, Xiansen subconsciously touched his pocket, and then suddenly remembered that the cigar box had been thrown into the trash by him.
"That's right, Nia is a great screenwriter, and that's a great script."
Tom. Hanks smiled, rubbed his nose, gave a thumbs up to Xiansen, and continued: "Director, like you, she has a very high talent, and she is very proud. Want to hear a story? ”
"Story?"
Xiansen smiled and touched his chin, and he said to Tom. Intrigued by the film, Hanks nodded, motioning for him to continue.
"Okay, this story starts the year before last."
Everyone who loves movies likes to share the stories around them. Hanks was no exception, sitting up from his chair and telling Xiansen in a colorful voice.
"There was a girl, a Greek-Canadian, a member of a large family. By chance, I became an actress, and then I starred in a TV series in Chicago, and then I met her husband, who was not of Greek descent, and you know, for some big families, there are a lot of prejudiced rules, so both families tried to prevent their marriage. The girl was very brave, and she went through great trouble to get both families to agree to the marriage. Oh, what a wonderful love story! ”
At the end of the day, Tom. Hanks couldn't help but close his eyes and shake his head in intoxication.
"That girl is Nia?"
Xiansen easily connected this story to the movie.
"That's right, it's her, a natural actor."
Tom. Hanks nodded, opened his eyes, looked into Xiansen's forehead and said, "She wrote this experience into a one-man show, which was staged in Los Angeles, and then, that day, my wife Rita and I did."
"Rita. Wilson, I know, is a Greek girl again. ”
Sen for Tom. Hanks added.
"That's right, I went with her to see Nya perform, and she cried and laughed again. When I got home, she highly recommended the script to me, and you must wonder why you need her to recommend it, uh, because I was asleep. ”
Speaking of which, Tom. Hanks let out a long sigh and looked at the helpless expression written on his face, and Xiansen suddenly realized that it seemed that the story was about to take some turn, and this was a director's intuition.
"Do you know what empathy is? Hell, I had absolutely no idea how Rita resonated with the story! From the time I met her to the time we got married, I never suffered any similar troubles. Clan? It's like a joke, I remember that when the news of their marriage broke, the family held a special ceremony in the local area to celebrate it. Damn, I really don't understand, where did she get her feelings? ”
Xiansen spread his hands, for Tom. Hanks's wife, Rita, also didn't understand at all, that sometimes, women are hard creatures to read, and they can find resonance in many things that have nothing to do with them, and then cry about it, maybe they don't know what they are moved by.
"Alright, director, the story is coming to an end. Rita was particularly touched and said that she wanted to invest in Nia and make this story into a movie, and she asked me to write a letter to the woman, to be precise, she wrote the letter and asked me to sign it, alas"
With a long sigh, Tom. Hanks shook his head: "Nia met us, she is a genius, I can see from her eyes, she was sure at first glance that the letter was written by my wife, and at the same time I can definitely see that I respect my wife's opinion"
"No, it's that you're afraid of your wife"
Sen unscrupulously corrected Tom. Hanks's mistakes, people in the circle know Tom. Hanks is afraid of his wife and belongs to the image of the most typical good man.
Rolled his eyes, Tom. Hanks ignored Xiansen's quip and continued: "So she is very insistent, very insistent on the two requirements of the investment amount and the script cannot be changed, she knows that my wife will definitely agree, she is a woman, so she understands the impulsiveness and hunger of women!" She proudly said that her script has been negotiated with many Hollywood studios, and to be honest, her proud appearance is really a bit attractive! ”
"You're in love with her?"
Xiansen asked a little bloody, as a director, he can learn from Tom. A few changes were heard in Hanks' tone.
"Nope!"
Sure enough, after hearing this question, Tom. Hanks was a little flustered, but very firm in his no. Such a reaction confirmed Xiansen's previous speculation.
"I just like it a little, just a little!"
Maybe it's because he knows his mind is exposed, Tom. Hanks hesitated for a moment and whispered, "But I can't be sorry for Rita, she's a good woman." ”
"Alas"
Hearing this, Xiansen couldn't help but feel: women sometimes always consciously or unconsciously create pressure on their marriages, and it seems that every marriage destroyer is a trouble for women themselves.
"I gave her an investment and didn't give her any restrictions, and as an executive producer, I didn't need to go to the crew over there very often, but sometimes I wanted to meet her."
Tom. Hanks touched the diamond ring on his ring finger and blushed slightly, though it didn't sound like a shame.
"I know the end of this story."
As a director, it is very important to be observant. After Hanks' subtle action, Xiansen almost thought of the ending of this story.
"Tom, you love Rita deeply, but you have a crush on Nia, you don't want to do anything to be sorry for Rita, so you chose to run away to end this deformed emotion, and I let you stay on the crew of "Get Away with Innocence" just fulfilled your idea, that's why you agreed so quickly."
"That's right, a beautiful story, but it can be over now!"
Tom. Hanks stared into Xiansen's eyes and suddenly laughed insolently.
"I love the story."
With a snap of his fingers, Xiansen also laughed.
"By the way, I appreciate your approach!"
"Thank you!"
Tom. Hanks walked up to Xiansen and gave the director a hard hug.
Hug Tom. At the moment of Hanks, Xiansen felt a little anxious in his heart, if nothing else, the movie "Impunity" may be released at the same time as "My Greek Wedding", and for the woman Nia, to be honest, Xiansen inexplicably felt a little scary, a newcomer, able to make Tom. Hanks and her wife were intrigued by it and learned from Tom. Hanks has received so many conditions and investments here, this woman is definitely not simple!
Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Bella and Leonardo walked in together.
Looking at the two people who were hugging each other, Bella and Leonardo's expressions instantly froze.
"Sorry, I forgot to knock!"
Apologizing, Bella turned and walked out the door.
"Excuse me, I won't say it"
Leonardo smiled, waved his hand, and walked out the door.
"Stop!"
Xiansen let go and Tom. Hanks hugged each other's hands and let out a loud shout, and both men who were walking out stopped.
"Please, don't make a fuss"
His tone quickly weakened, and Xiansen had already expected that the two guys would have another reason to make fun of themselves.
"Hahahaha"
Hearing Xiansen's slightly mournful voice, everyone in the room laughed loudly. (To be continued.) )
