Chapter 211: Target: Tom Cruise

Although they knew that this girl could not pose any threat to Yang Lin, Du Qingshan and Li Kaijun, who were following Yang Lin, still took a step forward dutifully, paying attention to this beautiful and tall girl, and at the same time looked at each other a little: This beautiful girl is too arrogant, right?

Yang Lin looked at the girl in surprise, and his mouth was open enough to stuff a fist: Is this Lizhi? Although Li Zhi does not have any too good works circulating in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, her fame is definitely not small, because she is Li Lianjie's wife. I don't know much about Lizhi Yang Lin, I only know that he was once the champion of Miss Asia, and I don't know why he owed a huge debt that made Li Lianjie want to "sell himself" to pay off the debt. But Yang Lin's impression of this woman has always been quite good, noble, elegant, dignified, and full of charm, but the girl in front of him won't be the wrong person, right? After all, he just looks very similar, and his appearance is a little different from the photos he saw on the Internet in his previous life, coupled with this arrogant and pungent temper, he is more and more uncertain.

Seeing Yang Lin's surprised expression, the girl proudly raised her pointed chin, but when she saw two expressionless men standing beside Yang Lin on the left and right, she couldn't help but be a little scared. However, after scanning the circle of many people around him with beautiful big eyes, he became fearless again, and said in Chinese with a coquettish voice: "What for?" Are there more people bullying fewer people or want to beat up women? I warn you, this is the United States, you can't do it if you have great ability, as long as I call the police, you have to go to the police station. After saying that, he saw this handsome man staring at his face all the time, and he was apprehensive, and he was not very confident.

Yang Lin stared at this beautiful face for a long time, and could only reluctantly admit that she was Lizhi. When reality and memory conflicted, Yang Lin was a little depressed, this Lizhi is not only spicy, it seems to be a little unreasonable, a female Ah Fei's style, I don't know how Li Lianjie got rid of his wife and married her, is it just because she is beautiful? Li Lianjie doesn't seem to be a womanizer, his reputation has always been very good, and there have been almost no scandals. But thinking about the gap between this Lizhi and his memory, Yang Lin is not sure that Li Lianjie is not a lascivious guy after all.

Li Zhi saw that Yang Lin didn't speak, but his bright and scary eyes stared at him, and his heart flickered, his heart was weak for a while, this person's eyes were really sharp, and he was scared. I had to pretend to be bold and snort, flick my beautiful ponytail, and turn my head to ignore Yang Lin.

Lizhi has always been in front of Yang Lin, out of the airport Lizhi stretched out his little hand and called a taxi, Yang Lin looked at his tall back and suddenly broke out in a mischievous mentality, so he shouted: "Lizhi, ** call you home for dinner!" Then, without looking at the figure that Li Zhi was staring at as if he had been immobilized, and the hellish expression on his face, he walked over to Kidd who greeted him in a happy mood, gave him a big hug, and got into Kidd's car. Only Lizhi was still standing in the distance stupidly, scratching his head in confusion, and muttering: "Who is this kid?" If you don't know, how do you know my name? My mom called me home for dinner? Li Zhi didn't understand what this sentence meant, but she was not stupid, she knew that this was definitely not a good word, and when she came back to her senses, she raised her middle finger angrily at Yang Lin's distant car.

Yang Lin saw Lizhi's fierce gesture from the rear window, sighed helplessly, and felt that his dream was shattered, although Lizhi was far from a dream, she was just a very beautiful and ** woman.

Kidd, who was blonde and sunny, also saw this scene, laughed and patted Yang Lin on the shoulder: "This oriental girl is very beautiful and has a surname, I like that kind of girl, very much like us Americans." ”

Yang Lin rolled his eyes: "Can I think that there is an element of racism in your words?" He didn't have any acquaintances in the United States, so he remembered the Asian manager of the Cinemark Cinema Line, who had always wanted to cooperate with Red Star Cinemas, and of course he is now the assistant general manager of the United States. It can be seen that the Cinemark Cinema Line attaches great importance to Yang Lin, and after receiving Yang Lin's request for help, it immediately sent Kidd to accompany Yang Lin throughout his trip to the United States, helping Yang Lin select actors in the United States and prepare for the filming of "Ghost Love".

Kidd was startled, and waved his hand in gratitude, and hurriedly said, "Oh God, don't say this nonsense, it will provoke a big deal. Cumbersome. You know, I've always liked China, Chinese culture, Chinese food, and of course Chinese women. Do you know? Dear Yang, it's okay for a Western woman to look at it from a distance, but you can't see it when you get close, and her face and body are full of coarse pores, which is unappetizing. And Oriental women are different, their skin is firm and tender, their appearance is firm and beautiful, and every place is so intoxicating. I've already decided that if I want to find a Chinese wife, I really can't do it, but I can also settle for it. ”

Yang Lin deeply agrees with Kidd's views on this Eastern and Western woman, and there are only two words to sum it up: incisive! Western women are simply half-finished products that God has not finished, so rough that they can't do it, where can they be compared with the delicate and delicate Oriental women? The only Western woman who can be associated with the word "exquisite" is Audrey Hepburn.

Yang Lin was a guest from afar, and Kidd did not directly take Yang Lin to work, but arranged food and lodging for him first.

The hotel is adjacent to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which is a good choice for both errands and travel. As soon as Kidd's car stopped in front of the hotel, a handsome blonde young man smiled and pulled the car door, saying kind words such as "welcome", Kidd nodded, took out a dollar from his arms and handed it to the waiter as a tip, asked him to park the car, and then respectfully made a gesture of invitation to Yang Lin. The handsome blonde waiter glanced at Yang Lin in surprise, knowing that Kidd seemed to be the kind of person with deep status, and it was very unusual to treat this yellow man who was younger than himself so politely.

Yang Lin looked at this handsome young man with long blond hair, clear blue eyes, and a charming smile on his face, and that familiar feeling came up again, but he couldn't tell who this person was. Shaking his head helplessly, it can't go on like this, reality and memory are always unified, and the nerves will be deranged.

Kidd had already booked two rooms for Yang Lin, and took the three of them to the room by elevator, Kidd smiled: "Flying over the ocean must be very tired, take a break today, Yang You are looking for the two actors I have already made an appointment, you can meet tomorrow morning, and you can talk to them in detail by yourself at that time." ”

Yang Lin expressed his gratitude, and if it weren't for Kidd's help, his trip to the United States would be very embarrassing. "What is your current role? How do you have time to stay with me? ”

The two watched Du Qingshan and Li Kaijun enter the room to wash, and then entered another room, Kidd shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Because my work performance is not very good, the headquarters has transferred me back as an assistant to the general manager, this is not the same leisurely job before, I am tired to death like a dog every day." If it weren't for your request for help this time, I would still be working like a donkey under that old fellow's drive. ”

The two entered the room and sat down on the couch, and Kidd asked again, "I don't know why you have to find Tom Cruise?" You must know that although this handsome boy is somewhat famous, he is not particularly popular. Especially when he just filmed a "Top Gun" for Paramount, he is very tired and needs to rest, and it may not be easy to invite him, and he has to pay a higher salary than usual. Kidd thinks that Yang Lin's decision to find Tom Cruise by name is not a wise choice, and according to his ability, he can help Yang Lin find a more suitable and more famous actor with a better salary.

Yang Lin smiled, what do you say? His goal is Tom Cruise, originally wanted to wait for this God-given opportunity, when Tom Cruise's "Top Gun" became very popular, with the help of Tom Cruise's burst of fame, the drama "Ghost Love" was raised to a higher level. You must know that Tom Cruise's salary is now three million US dollars, and after the release of "Top Gun", it will soar to nearly 10 million US dollars.

Another reason is that even if he has strong confidence in this play, it is impossible for a 20-year-old Chinese director to be trusted by American audiences, nor can he be trusted by theaters, even if he has a good relationship with Cinemark Cinema, and economic interests are the first thing they need to consider. Using Tom Cruise's fame to increase the scheduling rate and win a few more screens will have a great effect on the box office and the impact of the first release.

But of course, you can't say this to Kidd, otherwise Kidd will think of himself as a wizard, especially after the success of Top Gun. Yang Lin touched his chin and said ambiguously: "I like Tom Cruise very much, he has a good appearance and good acting skills, and the salary is not too high." You know that this is my first film to enter North America, I don't plan to make much money, and I'm even ready to lose money, I just want to get familiar with the process and characteristics of Hollywood films, so the investment in this movie is only five million dollars. Tom Cruise is a good choice, he has a certain reputation, and the salary is not too expensive, I personally like it. ”

Kidd nodded in agreement with Yang Lin's approach: "It is true that we should be cautious, those people only see how Hollywood makes a name for itself and how it harvests box office around the world, but they can't see how many new film companies are born in this movie paradise every day, and how many film companies go bankrupt and go bankrupt, so it is the right choice to be safe." The guy frowned again as he spoke, hesitated for a moment and said, "I know that you Chinese value face very much and don't like other people's questions or suggestions, but as a friend, I still remind you." You don't have to question your talent, but if you want to make a career in Hollywood, you need to study it carefully, after all, there are big differences between the East and the West in terms of cultural background and living habits. ”

This ghost guy was able to say such heart-to-heart words, which made Yang Lin very surprised and a little moved, he smiled and patted Kidd's shoulder: "Don't worry, my friend, I know what I should do." ”

Kidd laughed and said, "That's good, I'm not a verbose guy." You Chinese have a saying called 'do the friendship of the landlord', you fly across the ocean and come thousands of miles, let me, the landlord, be the host, and invite you to eat a big meal." ”

Yang Lin couldn't help but sigh, this guy is really a China expert.

*********

The next morning, Yang Lin and Kidd sat in the café next to the fake hotel, drinking coffee and watching the bustling flow of people on the Avenue of Fame, waiting for the arrival of another male lead, George Clooney, who was about to play Carl.

George Clooney was born in a family of actors, his father is also a professional actor, George Clooney at the age of five, he has already shown good acting talent, he once appeared successfully on a talk show hosted by his father, but then the opportunity did not favor Clooney, until the age of 21, Clooney got a formal role in a low-budget movie, and from here he began a real acting career. Perhaps because he was born in an acting family, Clooney always reveals a transcendent self-confidence. Of course, this self-confidence and good acting skills did not bring him career success until 1994, when he became famous and became popular in 1994 for his role as a "pediatrician" in the TV series "ER". Later, he starred in quite a few blockbuster films, such as "Red Alert", "Batman", "The Perfect Storm" and "Ocean's Eleven", and a series of outstanding productions, which made him one of the top actors in Hollywood.

The reason for choosing George Clooney is very simple, Yang Lin doesn't want to pick one by one among thousands of actors, and George Clooney has acting skills at this time and is not famous, so it is suitable to play the second male lead.

"Yang, I'm strange, you don't seem to be interested in the Avenue of Fame?" Kidd was a little puzzled and asked Yang Lin curiously. The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a must-visit place for foreigners to come to Los Angeles, especially for filmmakers from all over the world. However, Yang Lin's gaze stayed on the tourists who were playing, and he barely paid a little curious attention to the entire Avenue of Stars.

Dude has been here several times in his previous life! Yang Lin was a little funny: "It is people who give this place all kinds of magic, so talent is the basis for creating magic, and my interest in people is far greater than those buildings." ”

Kidd pondered for a moment, and said as if he didn't understand, "Yang, you're more of a philosopher. ”

As soon as Yang Lin smiled, he saw two tall Americans walk into the café, look around, and walk towards Yang Lin and Kidd.

"Haha, hello James, long time no see." Kidd stood up and hugged the older ghost, a familiar look. After a hug, Kidd let go of this James and stretched out his hand to the tall and handsome young man behind him: "Hello, George. The two shook hands, and Kidd introduced: "Two, this young Mr. Yang is from Hong Kong, not only the director who invited George this time, but also the boss of this play. ”

Yang Lin smiled and shook hands with the two of them one by one, and when it was George Clooney's turn, he found that this guy looked at him very unkindly. Yang Lin was unmoved: "Hello, I'm Yang Lin, the director of this play." ”

George Clooney was very rude and only shook Yang Lin's hand gently, then frowned and looked at his agent James very dissatisfied: "James, you should have told me earlier that this drama was invested by Chinese, and even the director is Chinese." You know what I think, I'm not willing to work with strangers. Ignoring the stunned James, he apologized to Kidd: "I'm sorry, Mr. Kidd, I think we will have a chance to work together in the future." With that, he turned and strode away.

Racism? Yang Lin's face darkened, and he said loudly: "I will complain to the actors' union about your racist behavior!" ”

George Clooney stood up and turned his head, slyly smiling: "No, no, no, no, I'm just not used to working with unfamiliar directors, this is a factor of surname, and it has nothing to do with any bullshit racism." Then he walked away quickly.

Embarrassed and apologetic, James trotted out after George Clooney.

"Hey, man, what the hell are you doing?" James chased him out the door and found George Clooney standing in the doorway waiting for him, and asked in annoyance. Although Kidd's status is not very high, at least he is the assistant general manager of Cinemark Cinemas, and such a person cannot be offended in Hollywood.

"I'm not messing around, dear James." George Clooney showed a look of annoyance: "You should have figured out in advance who we are going to work with, that hairy boy?" Oh my God, how old is he? Is there a twenty-year-old? Although I am not famous, do you think this Chinese can shoot anything? That's a waste of our time. ”

James said angrily: "But this will offend Mr. Kidd, you know that he is from the Happy Cinema Line, if you don't know it, we will be ** out." You know, the two of us are like two insignificant ants now, and it doesn't take much effort to crush us. ”

"Not what you think." George Clooney smiled again with what he thought was a sly one: "Didn't you hear what I said, with the smell of racism? Mr. Kidd wouldn't think I was a faceless, he would just think I was a racist and wouldn't be angry. ”

James thought for a moment and sighed helplessly. glanced at George Clooney resentfully, and had already greeted all the female surnames in this guy's family in his heart. "But we don't have any filming anymore, who knows what day we'll have to wait for? You're too reckless, you should do the next trick, no matter what he looks like, the most important thing is that we make money. ”

George Clooney pouted disdainfully, and said as he walked: "You let me beg for a living in front of a Chinese?" God, you might as well kill me. (To be continued.) )
