The moment he saw Leonardo, a movie appeared in Yang Lin's mind.

Will Smith and his son starred in "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

Almost all movie rankings, such as "the most touching movies in the world", or "the 100 movies you have to watch in a lifetime", etc., "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is at the top.

This film, which is based on a true story, is indeed deeply moving and unforgettable.

It's a very simple film, so simple that it can be used as a teaching material for middle school students. The protagonist of the movie is in a swinging life itself, carrying a forty-pound machine every day, and occasionally laughing at himself. It is precisely because his life is becoming desperate that he can arouse his persistence in his original dream. in order to make him succeed little by little.

People like to watch stories like this, because they can find strength for themselves, and every time they hear about it, they always think, I'm much better than him, then I will have hope. Maybe that's the simple thinking of the Americans. But such a simple and beautiful story cannot fill the void and give people strength.

Yang Lin's favorite section is in the subway. Father and son were very depressed, the first time homeless, the father said that the machine that could not be sold was a time machine, and said to the son, we are back in the time of dinosaurs, we were attacked by dinosaurs, ah, we found a hole. When Yang Lin was a child, he always fantasized about such a scene, hoping to find safe shelter somewhere. The father is the protection of the son, but the father can only lock the door in the toilet, hold the child and cry.

However, Yang Lin never saw his father. He had never had that kind of father-son relationship. The feeling that blood is thicker than water. However, I remember the first time I watched the movie, he cried.

Father-son affection. Never be weakened by half a point because of being far away.

Find hope in despair, and life will be brilliant in the end.

Of course, when Yang Lin introduced the plot, he didn't say that this was a real story. Because at this time, it's really Chris Gardner. I'm over wandering, but I don't know what I'm doing.

Now that Swarzenegger is lame, True Lies has been shelved indefinitely. So, let's shoot this "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

Listening to Yang Lin briefly talk about the plot of the movie, Carter didn't say a word, and immediately said. The salary is given casually. As long as Leonardo can act in this movie, anything will do.

Yang Lin smiled secretly, this guy is really cunning, he seems to be very moved and generous. Pay casually? It's not just a casual give, do you dare to make a price? The remuneration that Leonardo has in his hand just now will not exceed two thousand dollars. How dare you make an offer to me? I'll give you a smack.

Yang Lin nodded: "Tomorrow morning, according to the address on the business card." When we got to DreamWorks Films, we signed the contract first. "I thought about it. He added: "If Leonardo performs well, I will consider signing him a few more films." ”

Leonardo behaved, more excited than his father, a little hairy child, happy to make money, or happy to be able to make a movie?

Back at "DreamWorks", Yang Lin asked Kidd: "How is it, you also heard the plot of this movie just now, are there any good actors who can be qualified for the role of Chris Gardner?" ”

Kidd scratched his head: "Yours show me the script, without the script, there is no intuitive impact, where can I recommend it?" ”

"There's no script, the plot is in my head, and it hasn't been written yet."

"What?" Kidd looked at Yang Lin in disbelief, and then there was a "shocked" expression. There's no way not to be "surprised", this is too exaggerated, right? Just an idea in the head, it can echo back and forth, high. Tides, logical and reasonable, full of emotion? Even if someone else has this idea, it will take a long time to polish the idea to reach this level, right?

Talented! That's Kidd's comment.

The two discussed for a while, but they didn't come up with a suitable actor.

Will Smith? Of course not, that kid is not yet 20 years old, and he can shoot a fart father role.

Why don't you just bring the hero of the original story, Chris Gardner? No, it doesn't. Although this person has personal experience, he has no acting skills at all, he can't rely on emotion alone, art comes from life, but it is higher than life. Only through the exaggeration and rendering of art can we achieve a better state and complete a literary work.

Chris Gardner is clearly not.

Yang Lin suddenly remembered that Will Smith was a black actor, and "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" was so popular, did it have anything to do with race?

But if you think about it, it shouldn't have anything to do with blacks and whites. Because the lightness is the storyline, it already has all the touching elements.

However, who is suitable for this role?

After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Lin and Kidd couldn't think of a reason.

"Prepare a copy of the actors and materials suitable for the age group in Hollywood, and choose slowly."

Yang Lin rubbed his brows helplessly.

Kidd shrugged, and there was no other way. "Hey, there's a drinking party tonight, you've been invited, do you want to go?"

"What cocktail party?" Yang Lin asked casually, his mind was still spinning in circles, and the actors he was familiar with in his previous life went over and over again. However, age, image, and temperament are difficult to match, and there is no clue.

"It is a charity reception organized by the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards, and basically the guests invited to the Oscars will be present."

Yang Lin sighed: "Then go." ”

He doesn't like this kind of entertainment scene very much, engage in charity, you go to donate yourself, do you have to get a cocktail party? It's clearly a social occasion, actors, directors, producers, distributors, and everyone pulls a relationship together. But it's not good not to go, I just got a little fame in Hollywood, and if I am called "arrogant", it will inevitably damage my reputation.

The venue for the banquet is the Kimkelly Hotel, not far from Hollywood.

"Hey, Yang!"

In the evening, Yang Lin and Kidd, who had just come to the Golden Kelly Hotel and had not yet entered the door, heard someone shouting behind them. As soon as the two turned around, they saw that they were wearing "kicking the dead rabbit". Handsome and handsome Tom Cruise. And beside him is the tall, beautiful, and charming Nicole Kidman.

These two guys. Got together now?

Tom Cruise ran over and gave Yang Lin and Kidd a warm hug, respectively. Nicole Kidman on the side looked a little uneasy, hanging her head slightly, trying to avoid Yang Lin's gaze. This girl, probably because of that time, ran to Yang Lin to hint at the "unspoken rules". I feel a little embarrassed.

Yang Lin smiled, took the initiative to walk over, and gave Nicole Kidman a hug. took the opportunity to lean into her ear and whispered: "A confident woman will be beautiful." Self-confidence is the most important quality of successful people. Nicole. Be confident. You can do it. ”

Release Nicole Kidman. Yang Lin gave her a bright and encouraging smile, put his arm around Tom Cruise's shoulder, and walked into the hotel door with a smile.

Why, can he be so open? It's like that incident, really didn't happen?

Or, in his heart, he has never had a little idea and attempt at himself?

Nicole Kidman bit her rosy lips. A pair of pale blue beautiful eyes blinked, and there was a hint of unconvincing in my heart. Not at all reconciled. All along, the pure and beautiful Nicole Kidman has been full of confidence in her appearance and figure. Every man who faces himself is not unabashedly exposed. Bare. Naked possessiveness? It's like that Tom Cruise, and every day flies buzz around him.

It's just that this Yang Lin actually treats himself as air. He ran to the door cheekily, still dismissive, and gave himself a "philosophy lesson". This guy is really annoying! Could it be that this girl is a pink skeleton in your eyes?

Or is Yang Lin a GAY?

Nicole Kidman's face turned slightly red, and she hurriedly followed with a "da-da-da" step. This thought in my mind not only lingered, but became stronger and more suspicious. You see, it's really strange to be so affectionate with Tom Cruise and hook up shoulders!

However, isn't that Zhong Chuhong his girlfriend? IS IT USED TO HIDE PEOPLE'S EYES, OR IS THIS GUY ACTUALLY A BISEXUAL? WELL, WHEN I GET THE CHANCE, THIS GIRL WANTS TO SEE WHAT YOU REALLY ARE, YOU HATEFUL GUY

Yang Lin, who was talking and laughing with Tom Cruise before, naturally didn't know that after a while, his kung fu had been labeled as Gay and BISEXUAL by Nicole Kidman. If he knew how to read minds, he would probably be angry at this moment, and carry Nicole Kidman to a room and let her see what his sexuality was.

The three men walked in front of each other, Nicole Kidman's eyes rolling, and he followed behind.

A pair of middle-aged men and women walked over.

"Hi Adrian, are you okay?" With a smile on his face, Kidd went up to say hello, looking like he was on good terms.

Yang Lin couldn't help pouting, this person is really well-connected.

The man was in his forties, tall, slightly bloated, average-looking, and dashing.

But the woman next to him is very special.

At first glance, the cheekbones are a little high, the face is a little wide, the mouth is a little big, the body is a little wide, the skeleton is large, and there is no beauty and delicacy in the body.

But he is such a person, but he has an indescribable temperament, very gentle, very sunny, and very comfortable.

This unique woman, Yang Lin recognized.

has been nominated for the Oscar six times, but lost six times, and is one of the most nominated but unawarded actresses in history - Glenn Close, Hollywood's absolute acting school.

Although she has not won an Oscar, she has won a lot of Emmy Golden Ball Awards, which is enough to confirm that her acting skills have been recognized by fans.

When Glenn Cross debuted, he mostly performed operas on Broadway and was very famous. In 1984, she starred in "About Alimya", in addition to setting a ratings record, she also won her first Emmy Award, and her star journey was smooth all the way.

Glenn Cross's brilliance is the brilliance of her portrayal of Alex in "Fatal Temptation" in 1987. Forrestal, ranked No. 7 on the American Film Association's list of the greatest screen heroes and screen villains of the past 100 years.

Looking at the middle-aged woman in front of him who looked ordinary but was full of affinity, Yang Lin's mind flashed.

After chatting with Kidd and Adrian for a few words, he introduced Yang Lin to him.

"Hey, Yang, I can't believe that you are so young. I have watched "The Love of People and Ghosts", a great work, which is really amazing. "Die Hard" is also great, and now the whole of America is watching the movie. ”

Adrian smiled and stretched out his hand to Yang Lin.

Yang Lin hurriedly shook back with him and said politely: "It's just a little luck." ”

Kidd introduced to Yang Lin: "This Adrian. Mr. Lane is a famous director in Hollywood. ”

Adrian. Ryan? I'll rub it! It's actually this one.

Yang Lin didn't know Adrian. Ryan, I haven't seen the photo either, but the name is thunderous. Because almost all of his films are topical works, I don't know if it's to make a name for himself, or if it's by nature.

"Fatal Attraction", "Love You for 9 and a Half Weeks", "Flash Dance", "Peach Deal" and "Time and Space Interception", etc., all appeared in controversy. For example, last year's "Love You for 9 and a Half Weeks", the camera was extremely bold, full of controversy, and there was an uproar. The film was found too explicit by American distributors and even trimmed, but his full version overseas was a huge success.

Glen Cross smiled and stretched out his hand to Yang Lin: "Hello, Yang." ”

Yang Lin smiled slightly: "Miss Glenn, is there a schedule recently?" ”

Everyone was stunned. As soon as we met, I asked if there was a schedule, why did I make a movie?

Adrian. Ryan touched his nose, "I'm sorry, Yang, Miss Glenn has promised me to make a movie." ”

That's "Fatal Temptation"?

Yang Lin smiled, disappreciated, and continued: "It's okay. You see, there are still four days left until the Academy Awards. If Miss Glenn agrees, then within four days, I will be ready for anything. Then wait for the end of the awards ceremony, and the filming of this film will definitely be completed within a week. What do you think? ”

He first looked at Adrian. Ryan, look at Glen Cross again, with a bright smile: "Miss Glenn, don't worry, you will definitely like this movie." ”

As the saying goes: plans don't change fast. Since there is currently no suitable candidate for the actor of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", let's put it aside for the time being and make a movie that is just as touching and can win awards.

Adrian. Ryan has a black line on his face, this person looks good, and his face is too thick, right? In front of himself, he pried the actor, which is very excessive! It's not uncommon to make a movie a week, but Glenn Close, who has been famous for many years, would make such a small movie? Just kidding.

But Adrian. Ryan, despite his lewd appearance, was a true gentleman, shrugged his shoulders and said, "If Miss Glenn agrees, I'll be fine." (To be continued......)
