MGM's first victory, his brilliant performance made the entire Hollywood look sideways, and with "Dragon Raiders" in his hand, a "trump card" that brings together new and old Oscar actors, MGM can be said to be invincible in this year's film market. At this time, it should be the time for MGM to chase after the victory and boldly launch a new work, but Lin Mingyang became "lazy" at this time. Although Exx urged him on a phone call every day, he still had the leisure to sit in a café in Los Angeles and talk and laugh with a beautiful woman.

"You've been out of the limelight on the big screen for a while, one moment you're Spider-Man, and the other you're Iron Man, are you going to play all the superheroes in the comics?" Scarlett Johansson pressed a jade finger against her chin, her red lips pursed slightly, and her clear eyes seemed to be teasing Lin Mingyang intentionally or unintentionally.

In the face of this glamorous beauty, Lin Mingyang only had to swallow his saliva secretly. It's not that Lin Mingyang is "lustful", but Scarlett Johansson's dress today is extremely bold, she is wearing a leopard print jacket and black stockings, which makes her extremely surnamed. The seductive curves, delicate skin under the neckline and the looming peaks can all evoke infinite reverie. Lin Mingyang is not Liu Shita Hui, how can he not be distracted when sitting in front of such a deliberately dressed stunner.

Lin Mingyang looked at Scarlett stupidly, and forgot to answer her question for a while. Looking at his "virtue", Scarlett was very proud, but on the surface, her pretty face sank and she snorted coldly.

Lin Mingyang came back to his senses and saw that Scarlett's face was full of frost, but there was no uninteresting expression on his face, he smiled at Scarlett, his eyes were still very dishonest and glanced at the other party. Scarlett hated it in her heart, but she was helpless against Lin Mingyang's "cheekiness".

"I thought you were the chairman of MGM, your identity is different, and the surname that you used to jump off should be somewhat restrained, but I didn't expect you to be like this..." If she had faced other men who "violated" herself like this, Scarlett would have thrown her head and left, but in the face of Lin Mingyang's handsome face, even though she was ashamed, she did not have a trace of angry unhappiness.

Lin Mingyang replied seriously: "The chairman of MGM also has the right to appreciate beautiful women!" ”

Scarlett Johansson threw him a charming roll of the eyes and said angrily: "I just asked you about it, and you haven't answered me yet!" ”

Lin Mingyang shrugged: "You said that the roles I played during this time... Actually, I don't have that much ambition, at least I'm not interested in Superman wearing panties outside, and other characters can try it when they have the chance! ”

Scarlett's hands were clenched together tightly and placed under the table, "Then you suddenly asked me out..."

"Was it sudden?" Lin Mingyang had an "innocent" expression on his face, he and Scarlett had never worked together since "Baseball Girl", but in private, Lin Mingyang took the initiative to contact her, but the connection was not as "close" as the others.

Scarlett's face flushed, even with foundation on her pretty face, she still showed a layer of redness. She hurriedly lowered her head, avoiding Lin Mingyang's burning eyes.

Seeing the beauty shyly bowing her head and frowning silently, Lin Mingyang's heart was fascinated, this feeling of flirting with Hollywood's top beauties was really different. Of course, Lin Mingyang knows how to grasp the "degree" very well, and seeing that Scarlett was a little embarrassed, he quickly changed the topic: "I heard that you broke up with Ryan Rez?" ”

Scarlett raised her head abruptly and glared at Lin Mingyang viciously. This "excited" reaction startled Lin Mingyang, and he was about to explain, when Scarlett's cold words blocked him back.

"I don't have anything to do with Ryan Rez, not before, not now, and not in the future!"

Scarlett said it categorically, which made Lin Mingyang a little puzzled, in his memory, Scarlett and Ryan Reze had a marriage, although this marriage did not last too long, but it should be true. But now, judging from Scarlett's reaction, her relationship with Ryan Reze doesn't seem to be as "close" as he imagined.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" After Lin Mingyang mentioned Ryan Rez, Scarlett Johansson's attitude towards him suddenly became much colder.

This woman's face changes faster than the sky, and the big beauty who was smiling just now has a frosty face, Lin Mingyang estimated that she was really angry, and she didn't mention what happened just now.

"I recently wanted to make a new film about crime solving... There is just a lack of a heroine, I don't know if you are interested? ”

Scarlett's straight face was actually quite tired, Lin Mingyang's tone was sincere, and her face became a little better-looking, "The actor is yourself?" ”

Lin Mingyang nodded, with a natural expression on his face, "How can I give such a good thing to others?" ”

Scarlett glared at him angrily, just a little right, and without saying a word, she began to "go out of tune" again. Lin Mingyang crossed his legs over there, holding the coffee and began to savor it, but Scarlett was silent here.

The cooperation with Lin Mingyang in "Baseball Girl" can be said to be "impressive" to Scarlett, although there were various accidents during the period, and it ended in a farce, and Scarlett was teased by her best friend Natalie Portman for a long time, but in retrospect, this period seems to be the most relaxed and happy period of time since Scarlett came to the film.

Scarlett feels that she is famous in Hollywood fast enough, but compared with Lin Mingyang, she is a little bit of a shadow, in just a few years, this guy has become a powerful figure in Hollywood from a screenwriter who has just appeared in the scene, and the youth idol on the screen has also become the Oscar winner in front of him. If Scarlett hadn't witnessed all of this herself, it would have sounded more like an illusory fairy tale.

Today, although Scarlett herself is regarded as the goddess of the new generation of surnames by Hollywood, and even praised as the incarnation of Monroe by the great director Woody Allen, compared with Lin Mingyang, the identity gap is self-evident, which makes Scarlett hesitate, can she still cooperate with Lin Mingyang without any worries as before?

If the widening gap in identity makes Scarlett feel a little uncomfortable, then what really bothers Scarlett is Lin Mingyang's giving of how much "weight" this role will have in his new film. After working with a big director like Woody Allen in "Midnight Barcelona", Scarlett also has higher requirements for role selection, and those vase roles can no longer meet her requirements for self-improvement.

Looking at all of Lin Mingyang's movies, except for the early "Cinderella's Glass Phone" and "Baseball Girl", which used female surnames as the protagonists of the films, the status of female characters in other films is very "embarrassing".

It's not appropriate to say that these characters are vases, because in action blockbusters like "Sister and Brother Agent", "Legend of the Night", and "Wanted", Lin Mingyang is willing to be a "green leaf", which sets off the transcendent status of the heroine. But in other films, the actresses who cooperate with Lin Mingyang are not so lucky, although their roles are better than those vase roles, but it is only for the audience to remember that in the end, it is Lin Mingyang who is "cheap".

If it was just a cameo role, Scarlett might not hesitate to agree to Lin Mingyang, but he asked Scarlett out so solemnly and wanted to invite her to play the heroine, Scarlett had to think about it seriously.

Lin Mingyang finished drinking the coffee, and Scarlett hadn't given a clear attitude, which made him finally a little unable to sit still.

He tentatively asked, "You should have no problem with this year's schedule, right?" ”

Scarlett knew that this guy was in a hurry, but she didn't have the heart to tease Lin Mingyang at this time. She nodded: "It's no problem on the schedule, but this role..."

Scarlett didn't make her words clear, but Lin Mingyang looked at her as if she wanted to say something, and she had already guessed it in her heart.

"The role of this character in the film is crucial." Lin Mingyang put down the coffee cup in his hand, "You should have read Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes Detective Book", right?" ”

Scarlett nodded, she had read the novel before.

"Your new film can't be an adaptation of that novel, right?"

Lin Mingyang pretended to be mysterious and said: "The answer you speculated is very close to the truth, but this story is only related to Sherlock Holmes to be precise, but Conan Doyle has little to do with it!" ”

Scarlett frowned slightly, and in her impression, it seemed that Sherlock Holmes did not have a girlfriend, at least not in the plot of the novel.

"Let me tell you so! This character of yours shares the same surname as Watson, a friend and assistant to Sherlock Holmes, except that..."

"I'm a woman!" Scarlett snatched Lin Mingyang's words.

Lin Mingyang nodded, "The answer is correct!" ”

Looking at Lin Mingyang's serious appearance, Scarlett burst out laughing, "Turn Watson into a woman... Could this be the plot conceived by Hollywood's most imaginative brains? I think if you really want something to happen to Sherlock Holmes and Watson, you might as well follow Ang Lee's example and make a "Brokeback Mountain"! ”

Lin Mingyang calmly accepted Scarlett's "ridicule", his unexpectedly quiet reaction made Scarlett, who was originally covering her mouth and chuckling, suddenly feel that something was wrong, she put away the playful expression on her face, and smiled at Lin Mingyang with a slight apology: "Did I say something a little heavy just now?" ”

Lin Mingyang was snickering in his heart, but he deliberately pretended to have a very hurt expression on his face: "Yes, how are you going to compensate me?" ”

Looking at his teasing expression, Scarlett cried out in her heart. was teased by Lin Mingyang several times, Scarlett turned her head to the side angrily, ignoring this annoying "bad guy".

"Who said I'm going to write the story of Sherlock Holmes and Watson?" Scarlett turned her face to the side, but didn't cover her ears, so Lin Mingyang continued: "As far as the stories in Conan Doyle's novels are concerned, they have long been filmed, if there is nothing new, how can I be embarrassed to come to you to make this movie." ”

Scarlett still looked like she ignored Lin Mingyang, but she didn't miss every word Lin Mingyang said. She didn't react at this time, obviously waiting for Lin Mingyang to continue.

"Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes lived in 19th-century England, and if he suddenly came to the era we live in, what kind of stories do you think would have happened?"

"It's impossible!" Scarlett was finally no longer indifferent.

Lin Mingyang stared at Scarlett with blazing eyes: "What you said came true, and I'm talking about movies!" ”

Scarlett asked suspiciously, "But what is this, time travel?" ”

"That's right, it's popular to play traversal now!"

"yes, then you'll have enough reason to turn Watson into a woman!" Scarlett turned the conversation back to it.

Lin Mingyang didn't continue to entangle with Scarlett on this topic, he spread his hands: "It's up to you to think about it, but I just want to know now, are you willing to accept this role?" ”

The playful expression on Scarlett's face became more and more intense, "I haven't even read the script, so you ask me if I'm willing to accept it... Is this your directing style? ”

"But I didn't bring the script."

Lin Mingyang looked at Scarlett with some embarrassment, Scarlett sighed with regret, "I can't promise you if I don't read the script!" ”

Scarlett wanted to deliberately embarrass Lin Mingyang, but she didn't expect Lin Mingyang's reaction to be as anxious as she imagined. Just when she was puzzled, Lin Mingyang really had something to do.

"I didn't bring the script, but I put all the plots here!" Lin Mingyang pointed to his head, a sly smile on his face.

Qingzhi was "teased" by Lin Mingyang again, but Scarlett didn't want to pull down her face again this time, but she didn't plan to cheapen Lin Mingyang so easily.

"Anyway, since your story is about Sherlock Holmes, the film must have to be shot in England... But I've just come back from Europe, and I've probably been in the U.S. for the rest of the year. ”

This is an excuse that Scarlett came up with temporarily, thinking that she could embarrass Lin Mingyang for a while, but Lin Mingyang told her with a smile that the new film was only filmed in New York. Scarlett didn't believe it at first, but as soon as Lin Mingyang explained later, she was completely stunned.

"Walking on the street and crossing for no reason, such a plot must be very ridiculous, how to say that Sherlock Holmes is also a celebrity, his crossing can't be so casual!"

Lin Mingyang smiled, and then began to describe the plot he had already conceived in his mind: "I think so, Holmes was invited by a wealthy man in the United States to take a boat to New York to help the other party solve a case of missing diamonds, and the passenger ship encountered a storm in the Atlantic. ”

Scarlett was actually quite interested in this story, and before Lin Mingyang finished speaking, she couldn't help but say her guess about the plot: "Then there was a shipwreck, Sherlock Holmes survived with a wooden barrel, he floated in the sea for three days, and was finally rescued by a passing passenger ship, and he helplessly found himself crossing!" ”

Lin Mingyang's eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief, his reaction made Scarlett always feel that something was wrong, although judging from the other party's expression, she probably guessed the plot correctly, but after suffering a few "losses" at Lin Mingyang's hands, she also became cautious.

Scarlett cautiously asked, "Am I not right?" ”

Lin Mingyang shook his head, clapped his hands and exclaimed, "In fact, you have told you everything I want to say!" ”

Scarlett asked again suspiciously, "Are you sure?" ”

"You are the woman who really understands me!" Lin Mingyang winked meaningfully at Scarlett, the words in his words and the expression on his face at the moment were very ambiguous. Scarlett glared at him angrily, but she didn't care about the shame, because at this time she was thinking about another problem.

"Sherlock Holmes doesn't have identification, so how did he get into the United States?"

"It's up to you!" Lin Mingyang deliberately bought a pass.

"Look at me?" Scarlett was stunned for a moment, and then protested: "Please, are you okay, I just guessed casually, it's your business to actually write the script!" ”

"But I didn't say you should keep guessing!" Lin Mingyang looked at Scarlett with an innocent face, "I mean, the identity of Sherlock Holmes was solved by your character in the play!" ”

"Identity fraud... So the role you asked me to play was big? "It's not easy to forge an American ID, and Scarlett racked her brains to come up with such an answer.

"She's not an FBI agent, she doesn't have any high-ranking official background in the political axe, and this role is just an ordinary prosecutor." Lin Mingyang stared at Scarlett's face, "If there is anything special about this character, I can only say that she is very beautiful!" ”

Lin Mingyang's level of compliment didn't do much for Scarlett, and she pouted, "So how did she get the legal identity for Sherlock Holmes?" ”

"Because identity is ready-made!" Lin Mingyang shrugged, "Since even such a small probability event as crossing has happened to our Sherlock Holmes, then it's not a big deal to arrange a suitable identity for him... The salvaged Sherlock Holmes was full of 'nonsense', at first everyone thought he was mentally wrong, and our heroine scanned his avatar into the computer, and after comparing it in the database, it was found that he was the first mate of an ocean-going freighter, and the ship had an accident in the Atlantic Ocean three days ago, and everything coincided with what happened to Sherlock Holmes! ”

Lin Mingyang's handling like this is obviously a bit tricky, but as a suspense crime movie, the cross-over Sherlock Holmes is just a novel gimmick, because he came to a new society, he will definitely make a lot of jokes because he is not suitable at the beginning, this is just a means for Lin Mingyang to bring the audience into the plot. The origin and identity of Sherlock Holmes is not important in this film, and the reason for installing a "coincidence" saves someone from scrutinizing it. If it weren't for Scarlett's curiosity, Lin Mingyang wouldn't have explained so carefully.
