Chapter 160: Meeting

The early morning sun shines through the window on the newspaper spread out on the sofa in the living room, and the eye-catching headline "Spider-Man Returns" is in large font, and above the title is a high-definition screenshot covering a quarter of the page, in which Spider-Man roars from high in the sky, with the momentum of breaking the paper. This is the front page of the New York Times yesterday, the premiere of "The New Spider-Man" at the box office of $79 million caused a sensation throughout North America, the film was released simultaneously in 6,416 theaters, and the premiere attendance rate was as high as 98.6%, and the box office and attendance rate both set a new record.

"The New Spider-Man" has been sharpening its sword for two years, and it has a terrifying momentum as soon as it is released, and the box office won the first place in the weekly box office chart after its premiere, and the media predicts that in the next two weeks, no one will be able to shake its box office champion.

"Good morning, baby!" Her father's familiar greeting came from the receiver of her phone, and Christine took her eyes off the newspaper.

The sun shone on him, and there was an unreal halo. At the age of fifteen, though still so weak, she had a pretty face that I had seen pity, with brown-red hair, dark green eyes, and a white countenance that matched it; The light smile at the corner of his mouth brought out a pair of wine on his cheeks, and his forehead was delicate, as if carrying the laurel crown of the sun.

"Good morning, Dad!" With her face sideways, Christine tucked her phone over her shoulder, talking on the phone with her father while sorting out the scattered newspapers on the couch.

"Hughes told me the good news yesterday, you've been selected as the heroine of 'Twilight'?" Christine's father is a producer at FOX, and most of Christine's rich acting experience is due to her producer father.

"The director just agreed to meet me, and I don't feel very hopeful!" Christine frowned slightly, she didn't want to tell her father the news so soon, but she didn't expect the agent Hughes to be so "big-mouthed".

"Why don't you try for it?" Christine's father encouraged her on the phone, saying, "You have to believe in yourself, my daughter is definitely the best." ”

Christine hugged the pillow and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Dad!" ”

"This role will be of great help to your future development, Mr. Hughes came to me yesterday, and I asked him to bring you a gift!"

After all, Christine's curiosity was immediately attracted, "Can I know what kind of gift it is?" ”

"Keep it secret for now, you'll understand when you see Mr. Hughes!"

After hanging up the phone, Christine kept thinking about the gift her father had said. When the "Ding Dong" doorbell rang, Christine jumped up from the sofa and ran to open the door.

"Mr. Hughes!" Christine found that it was her agent standing at the door, she smiled sweetly at the other party with her hands behind her back, but her eyes kept glancing at the gift box he was holding.

Christine's surname has always been a little cold, and Hughes was a little flattered by the sudden "enthusiastic" reaction today. After being with her for so long, Christine's little gestures naturally can't hide from Hughes's eyes.

"Are you holding my gift?" Christine asked shyly.

"Of course!" Hughes handed the gift box to Christine, "This is a very useful gift!" ”

Christine opened the gift box with joy, only to find that it contained a set of contact eyes, she raised her head with a puzzled face, and looked at Hughes: "What did my dad give me this thing for?" ”

"Have you forgotten?" Hughes prompted: "Tomorrow we have an important meeting, and this gift will make a big difference!" ”

"This?" Of course, Christine hasn't forgotten that tomorrow she is going to meet Tim Burton, the director of "Twilight", but what does that have to do with incognito glasses? Hughes's words made her more and more confused.

"In the original novel of "Twilight", the heroine Bella has a pair of brown eyes, which Felix Lin mentions several times in the novel, which is a very important detail, this contact eye can cover your beautiful green eyes and then turn it brown!" Hughes winked at her.

"Are you sure you need that?" Christine was still a little skeptical.

Hughes said seriously: "Don't underestimate this detail, the more famous the director, the more attention to detail, because there are too many candidates, and if you want to stand out from so many competitors, you have to be different from others." ”

Christine bit her lip, "But I think it's kind of cheating!" ”

"It's a decoration at best, you're thinking too much!" Hughes shook his head, "In order to meet tomorrow, you have to go and redo your hair, I found you a very famous hairstylist in Hollywood, your hair can be made more voluminous now, she will refer to Tim Burton's previous movie heroine style, and then she will tailor a new hairstyle for you." ”

――――"I think it's a waste of time to drink coffee in such a leisurely way, are you really so optimistic about that girl?" Tim Burton was "dragged" out of the office by Lin Mingyang in advance, and sat in the café for half an hour in advance. During this period, Uncle Ti kept wiggling his buttocks, and his mind was full of things about the filming of the film.

"From the perspective of the original book, she is the most suitable person!" There are not as many things that need to be worried about by Tim Burton, Lin Mingyang looked out the window leisurely, "And I also think that she also meets your aesthetic requirements, this girl was born with a clean and charming gothic style, she was born like she was born for literary films." ”

"Have you ever seen her in real life?"

Lin Mingyang shook his head, making Uncle Di snort angrily, "I hope she is as beautiful as you imagined!" ”

As the two were talking, Lin Mingyang's wandering gaze suddenly became focused. His eyes were fixed in the direction of the doorway, "I think she's already here!" ”

Tim Burton turned his head, and he was stunned.

A girl who seems to have come out of a painting stands there prettyly, her hair seemingly casually draped over her shoulders, although it is not artificially created into a beautiful shape, but it gives people a very chic feeling. Her face was not powdered, but her skin was as bright as snow. Her eyes were originally very beautiful and very spiritual, but she tried her best to collect them, as if there would be something bad if she was seen by others.

Although it is just a simple T-shirt and jeans, there is a cool feeling to wear it on Christine, and she brings this feeling so well. For some reason, Lin Mingyang thought of Elvis Presley as soon as he saw Christine, and she had an unruly temperament. She doesn't even have to try to do it to be very famous. This girl can really make people want to ask her for a phone number as soon as they see her.

Lin Mingyang looks at the whole, but Tim Burton focuses on the part, since Christine appeared, Uncle Ty has been staring at her eyes, although they are brighter than in the photo, but he always feels that something is missing, which makes the pure beauty of this girl flawed.

"Your eyes?" Tim Burton suddenly lost control of his emotions, and he looked at Christine with some annoyance, "Where are your beautiful green eyes?" His expression frightened Christine, and even Lin Mingyang, who was on the side, was puzzled, he smiled at Christine and her agent, and then gave Uncle Diller a look dissatisfied.

Uncle Ketti's strange temper twisted up, he didn't care what the other party thought, stared at Christine's eyes, and insisted that the other party explain this matter clearly at the beginning.

Christine sat there pitifully, with a very aggrieved look on her face. Her agent, Hughes, found that his "smug arrangement" was almost broken, and hurriedly explained: "Christine's eyes are indeed green, but I considered that in Mr. Felix's original novel, the heroine Bella is a girl with brown eyes, so I let her wear contact lenses." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Tim Burton turned his head to look at Lin Mingyang.

Looking at Tim Burton's inquiring gaze, Lin Mingyang had no choice but to nod, in the original novel, the image of the heroine Bella is indeed as Hughes said, but this is not Lin Mingyang's intentional arrangement. He didn't deliberately consider this aspect in his writing, this detail was discovered by book fans, and the concept of "Bella is a brown-haired girl" was constantly strengthened through word of mouth among book fans, so that in the end, everyone thought that this was Lin Mingyang's deliberate arrangement.

"I want to see what you look like without glasses!" At Tim Burton's insistence, Christine went to the bathroom, removed her contact lenses, and when she returned, her eyes were back to their normal tea green.

When she came back, she was a little apprehensive, but Uncle Ti nodded with satisfaction, "This is the feeling I want!" ”

was stared at like this by Uncle Blame for a long time, and Christine's pink and fair face couldn't help but flush slightly. How difficult the meeting was in her imagination, she encountered embarrassment at the beginning, and when Tim Burton and Lin Mingyang got together and whispered, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look this way.

Tim Burton muttered a few words in Lin Mingyang's ear, and finally exchanged opinions with Lin Mingyang, and then he stood up and announced that he had something to do temporarily, and left by himself after speaking.

There was only a long silence left for a long time, and then Hughes opened his mouth hesitantly, "Mr. Felix, this..."

"Mr. Hughes is trying to ask, what is Mr. Tim's impression of Christine?" Lin Mingyang shrugged helplessly, Uncle Di always likes to play this trick, obviously he has a crush on Christine, and he has to put on an unfathomable and impenetrable look.

"I should congratulate Miss Christine now because you've got the role of Bella!" The next moment, a bright smile bloomed on Lin Mingyang's face, and this sentence came out of his mouth, with a taste that people had to be convinced.

Christine was still sitting there stunned, and her agent, Hughes, was already standing up excitedly, "Really? We're selected? ”

Seeing her agent dancing with excitement, Christine still had a dreamy expression on her face, this huge surprise came so suddenly, she wasn't even ready, and the sudden happiness instantly overwhelmed her whole person.

"Christine?"

Hughes nudged her gently, and Christine came back to her senses, and as soon as she raised her head, she just collided with Lin Mingyang's gaze. Lin Mingyang has been regarded as a successful model for the young generation of Hollywood, Christine was even a little nervous when she saw him for the first time, she had secretly glanced at it a few times before, but the direct collision of this gaze still made Christine a little flustered.

Like many girls in the period of adolescent fantasy, Lin Mingyang's first impression of Christine was that she was a little too handsome, and what impressed her the most at a quick glance was Lin Mingyang's eyes. Those eyes were as hot as fire, and they were as attractive as magnets. Christine was a little strange, and when she looked into those eyes, she seemed to be bewildered by an inexplicable confusion, and nothing around her could no longer attract her attention.

Seeing that the girl was a little shy, Lin Mingyang was not staring at her eyes, he leaned down on the back of the sofa, lifted his left leg and rested on his right leg and shook it, and the expression on his face returned to his usual leisurely and casual state.

"Many die-hard fans of "Twilight" are not very clear about the color of the heroine Bella's eyes, and to be able to notice this, you should be very familiar with the original novel!"

"But this is my agent, Mr. Hughes..." Christine was just halfway through her words, when she saw Hughes sitting next to Lin Mingyang keep giving her a look, the girl lowered her head and hesitated, then raised her head and said very resolutely: "All this was arranged for me by Mr. Hughes!" ”

Hughes's face became a little pale as soon as he brushed it, and he looked at Lin Mingyang with some concern, and found that the other party's face did not change much, but his heart still lifted.

"You're a... Surprisingly honest actor. Lin Mingyang's smile seemed to be like the sunshine in winter, warm and not dazzling.

"From the first time I saw you, I felt that you were a different girl, my ideal heroine, from her performance in "Twilight", the audience should be able to see Bella's desire, the obvious **, but not pretentious and contrived. With so many audition finalists, you're the only one of the right ages and a not-so-boyish looking actor. Your appearance has begun to make me look forward to this film. ”

"Actually, I'm not as good as you think!" The meaning of praise in Lin Mingyang's words is already very obvious, but unlike other praises, Christine can feel a kind of sincerity from his words.

"Well, even if you're not a die-hard Twilight fan, you should have read the novel, right?" Lin Mingyang's conditions have been very lenient, "Don't tell me that you haven't read this novel at all, it will make me very sad!" ”

Under the influence of Lin Mingyang's joke, Christine's rosy lips finally pursed a smile, "I've read the novel!" ”

"Very good, then you can use the most popular language to describe your understanding of the whole story!"

"Actually, I've always been curious, you, as a boy, can actually write the girl's mind so well, a very simple but very romantic story: a young man of the blood clan who has been lonely for a hundred years falls in love with a shy human girl, although they have experienced all kinds of obstacles and tribulations, but the power of loyal love finally prevails over everything."

After the jerky beginning, Christine spoke more and more fluently under Lin Mingyang's encouraging eyes, sentence after sentence, like a waterfall, Hughes on the side was not paying attention, and he missed a large list. By the end of the day, her hand was already gesturing on the coffee table.

"A handsome vampire young man who can fly off the wall, gentle and considerate, but loves the heroine so desperately. He saved her at the moment of the crash, he followed her, protected her, he let her see him in the golden light, he took her to meet his family, and even made a meal for her, even if the Bloodclan never ate, he took her to play baseball, refused to be approached by other kinds, he said, she is his family, we must protect her, he took her to fly off the wall, escaped the pursuit of the Blood, stood up in a moment of danger, did not hesitate to break with his fellow clans to protect her, and in the end he was even willing to spend his life with her He would not let her change, Even if she will grow old slowly, but he will always be young, this cannot but be said to be a woman's greatest dream of happiness. ”

"And what do you think of Bella's character?"

Talking to Lin Mingyang, Christine felt as relaxed as chatting with an old friend, and God knows that they had actually known each other for less than 2 hours. Without too many scruples, Christine can always be very open to say what she really thinks in her heart.

"The heroine, Bella, is not my type of person. Although she is indeed kind, and has virtues that are not usually found in American movies. In order for her mother to get along with Second Spring, she went to live in a place that the climate made her hate. For the sake of love, willing to become a vampire. I still like the type of Kate Bersekin in "Tales of the Night". ”

"But have you ever thought that in a movie, if the two protagonists are tough, they can't set off each other's extreme surnames. Boys can't see that they're strong, and girls can't let boys see where I see pity. Lin Mingyang smiled.

"So the story you wrote has helped many young girls realize the most romantic feelings in their hearts!" A hint of cunning flashed in Christine's eyes, "Actually, I think Bella's character is still a bit nymphoac!" ”

Hughes, who was not going to interject on the side, heard Christine say this, and the coffee in his mouth almost squirted.

The smile on Lin Mingyang's face did not change, and he asked with interest: "Then what type of movies do you like?" ”

Christine hugged her coffee cup and thought, "I don't want to make children's movies all the time, and of course, I don't want to make Chengren movies!" ”
