Chapter 17: It's a little weird

"Sister Big Mouth, there must be a reason for the treat, right?" Liang Xiaolong hurriedly broke free from Rachel's clutches, otherwise who knows if this woman would pull off his waist. Julia smiled: "Of course, Miss Ben doesn't cook easily, today is mainly to thank you, do you come?" Liang Xiaolong was a little confused: "Thank you? What do you thank me for? Julia said excitedly: "Xiaolong, I'm in love." Liang Xiaolong was even more depressed: "Sister Big Mouth, why do you want to thank me when you are in love?" It has nothing to do with me, right? Of course, Liang Xiaolong also breathed a long sigh of relief when he said this, and Rachel finally stopped chasing and fighting.

"Of course it matters, if it weren't for the script you wrote, I wouldn't have met him." Julia said in a happy tone: "His name is Danny Murda, and he is the photographer of our crew. ”

Danny Murda? Liang Xiaolong was stunned for a moment, she had seen some information about Julia in her previous life, and Julia met photographer Danny when filming "Dangerous Lover" in 2000, so that Julia's love life finally stabilized, and she got married in 02, and then gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses. Liang Xiaolong didn't expect that his appearance would make the two meet in advance, so would they still be as good as the palace of chaos and live a stable life like in their previous life? But this is not what Liang Xiaolong should be worried about, at this time he should send his blessing: "Wow, Sister Big Mouth, congratulations, I'll go over immediately, but remember, the dish is not well done, I don't buy it." ”

"Baby, I'm hurt by your misunderstanding." Cutting off the call, Liang Xiaolong hugged Rachel strickenly: "Fortunately, Sister Big Mouth helped me explain it clearly, otherwise I would have been more wronged than Dou E." Rachel's pretty face flushed, feeling a little awkward, but this little woman's brain was far better than Liang Xiaolong's, so she immediately changed the topic: "Xiaolong, who is Dou E?" Are you China's big stars? ”

"You woman, you really change the subject." Liang Xiaolong rolled his eyes, and then patiently explained to Rachel Dou E, a woman who was killed by all kinds of evil feudalism: "So, baby, you should believe me, I am a peerless good man who is honest and single-minded." Rachel then rolled her eyes: "The princess sells melons, but people are also worried, you know, Julia is so tempting." ”

"This woman has a sense of crisis, a good phenomenon." Liang Xiaolong was secretly proud, and hurriedly praised her a few words, eliminating her resentment: "Baby, let's go together, our couple-to-couple, the value is not comparable to them, but we have to fight to overwhelm them at the table." ”

Julia is not an ordinary young actor, but a popular actress in Hollywood, with a salary of more than 10 million. And this woman knows how to be considerate of herself, she drives a sports car, she lives in a luxury house, and the garden swimming pool is readily available, which makes Liang Xiaolong envious for a while, there is no man who doesn't like luxury sports cars. Julia and Danny warmly welcomed Liang Xiaolong and Rachel in, and did not forget to whisper in Liang Xiaolong's ear: "The young man has a very accurate eye, a very correct girl." Liang Xiaolong immediately replied: "That's, how can we say that we have a pair of fiery eyes?" ”

It was just a very simple gathering of friends, and everyone was very casual, and Julia didn't forget to expose Liang Xiaolong's shortcomings in front of Rachel: "Do you know how I met this kid? Usually Liang Xiaolong is afraid that Rachel will be jealous, so he doesn't dare to say this, so Rachel is very curious, it stands to reason that Liang Xiaolong is just a flat-headed boy, how can he know Julia, a popular actress? Julia smiled and recounted what happened at that time, and did not forget to imitate Liang Xiaolong's tone at the time: "Do you have a hole in your brain?" Come to the bar to relax, wear a suit and dress, and be sick? As a result, all the filmmakers who go to Hollywood bars now wear casual clothes, and no one wants to be scolded for being sick. ”

"Honey, you're too famous." Rachel joked, "I think Hollywood filmmakers should thank you for finally not having to go to the bar in formal clothes." ”

"Alright, you don't amuse me anymore." Liang Xiaolong quickly diverted the topic, otherwise who knows how these two women would laugh at him: "Let's talk about movies, "Never Compromise" should be finished soon, right?" As soon as she said this, Julia became furious: "Damn, little dragon, do you remember that Potter asked Erin how did you do it, and how did Erin answer?" ”

I was ignorant, I didn't go to law school, and Ed lost faith in the system, so I had no choice but to sell my name and help 634 people in five days. This sentence is one of the wonderful dialogues in the film, how could Liang Xiaolong forget? Julia hated the line: "Damn, I don't even know how to say it, and this line went nineteen times." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "That's okay, didn't you go on twenty times." Julia picked up the pillow and smashed it, and Danny couldn't help laughing: "Xiaolong, don't mention this again, for this line, Julia almost didn't kill the director." ”

The next day, Disney held a press conference. Sant, starring Matt. Damon, the first supporting actor Robin Williams were all present, and even Mark was also present, and personally presided over the press conference: "Gentlemen, ladies, "The Sun Like Me" (another name: Soul Catcher) will be released in North America on June 15, and now you can ask questions. ”

"Hello Mr. Zorardi, I'm a reporter from the Guardian." The woman with glasses first asked: "Before this, all major media have made assessments, you Disney will get three scripts for nothing, what do you personally think of the box office of "The Sun Is Like Me"? Mark joked: "Before that, there were also media that we Disney like to pick up cheap, in fact? Can a company that likes to pick up bargains be one of Hollywood's Big Eight? The box office of "The Sun Like Me" will exceed 100 million, and Mr. Liang Xiaolong will definitely make a lot of money, and I estimate that our company will have to pay him 5 million to 10 million manuscript fees. ”

The bespectacled woman smiled, "Mr. Zoladi, you have such a good sense of humor, but I don't think a miracle will happen. Mark said solemnly: "Miracles will come, and when the film is released, you will know what a good movie it is, or rather, this is a flawless work when you buy a movie ticket for eight dollars." The bespectacled woman sneered: "Yes, I will definitely attend the premiere of the film then." ”

In fact, Mark's propaganda plan is also very simple: will a miracle befall Liang Xiaolong? As long as this concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, then some audiences will spend money to go to the cinema to witness the quality of the film, and after they go back, they will promote the film to relatives and friends, and naturally more people will pour into the cinema, and the box office will not have to worry. Of course, this must be based on the premise of the quality of the film, otherwise the audience will leave the cinema with a bad reputation, and even if you have good publicity in the early stage, it will only be a flash in the pan, and it will not take a week to paint.

"Hello Mr. Sant, I'm a reporter from the Chicago Sun." The thin man knew that he couldn't find a breakthrough in Mark, so he turned the target, and the object was directed by Fan. Sant: "What do you think of the film?" Do you think that the box office can exceed 100 million like that Chinese child? ”

"Sir, please don't use the name Chinese child, it will only make people think that you are uneducated." Fan. Sander is definitely a director who doesn't pander to the media: "Mr. Bruce Leung recommended me to Disney, and I was willing to take on the film, which proves that I am optimistic about his script." So, please don't ask such a naïve question again, the box office will definitely exceed 100 million, and a miracle will definitely befall Mr. Liang Xiaolong. "The skinny man almost didn't get fan. Sander was angry, but he didn't dare to get angry here, otherwise he would annoy Disney, and Disney would ban him, so the newspaper would fire him: "Miracles are always related to luck, but I don't think it will come casually, just like God, it will only come once in tens or hundreds of years." "Fan. Sant laughed: "Then you are lucky, soon you will be able to see God come down." ”

Then, the group of reporters pointed their guns at Matt and Robin, especially Robin, although he only played a supporting role in this film, he has a great reputation in Hollywood, and his performance of "Good Morning, the Harder" in 87 was nominated for an Oscar and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. Robin showed unprecedented confidence in the film: "Fan's directing skills are very strong, and I have no reason to doubt that he will send out bad films. Secondly, Mr. Liang Xiaolong's ability to write scripts is really strong, I felt incredible when I saw the script for the first time, God, this is really a script written by a nineteen-year-old child? Didn't it write it by a fifty-year-old professor? Guys, believe Fan, believe Bruce Leung, believe me and Matt, "The Sun Like Me" will not disappoint you, and a miracle will come. ”

Under Mark's guidance, the next day, major media asked questions: With 10 million productions and 100 million box office, can Chinese children make money? Will a miracle come? In any case, Liang Xiaolong was pushed into the storm again, and the Guardian also published a photo of Liang Xiaolong, and hung a question mark on Liang Xiaolong's head, as if Liang Xiaolong was a problem teenager. And the Chicago Sun, as always, is ingenious, with photos of Matt and Robin on the front page: Why is there no heroine, is this a showdown with the same surname?

In this regard, Liang Xiaolong had long lost his original anger, and just smiled coldly: "After 6.15, you will cry, don't try to get the slightest theme on me when the time comes." Rachel laughed: "When the time comes, the paparazzi will surround you, and there will be long guns and short guns at you wherever you go, and you can't break the news." Liang Xiaolong said nonchalantly: "If you dare to chase me and not let go, then I will kill them, and when I get old, maybe I can write a book, called "Liang Xiaolong and the paparazzi have to say non-mainstream love affairs". Rachel couldn't help but laugh, she liked Liang Xiaolong's occasional outburst of childish temper.

After laughing for a while, Rachel had a trace of doubt: "From the start of the film to the promotion, your name frequently appeared in major media, why didn't any media come to interview you?" Also, Mark didn't even notify you at the press conference, isn't that weird? "Liang Xiaolong is also very strange, if in his previous life, not to mention that his name like Liang Xiaolong frequently appeared in major media, even if there was something to do, the media would flock to it, but there was an accident in Liang Xiaolong?

But after thinking about it, Liang Xiaolong was relieved, the reason why his name frequently appeared in the media was because of the lack of jokes in the United States this year. And this country with extreme racial discrimination has taken itself as a laughing stock. In fact, this situation is not only for Liang Xiaolong, it has almost become a common practice. Many Hollywood films invite Chinese people to participate, but they are all obscene thieves, underwhelmed men, and hateful villains、、、 who continue to deteriorate the image of Chinese people through this means, slander China's national conditions、、、 and almost regard this as a means of cultural aggression.

"Damn, are you going to let this continue?" The more Liang Xiaolong thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, and the more depressed he becomes, if he wants to change this situation, he has to make Chinese movies raise his eyebrows, but is this easy? At the same time, Bruce Leung thought of a film that really made Chinese films proud - "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which won 10 Oscar nominations and won four awards, but damn Americans only said that it was a film from Taiwan, not a Chinese film.

It has not been a day or two since the United States boycotted our country, and Liang Xiaolong can only warn himself to work hard, at least in this aspect that he is good at. However, there is one thing that Liang Xiaolong still can't figure out, even if he is not allowed to participate in a major event like a press conference, he will always know that he will be the editor, right?
