Chapter 78: The Queen of Acting

With some regret, Zhou Shaoming came to the agreed place.

In the palatial five-star Hilton Hotel, Frank Gusta, the owner of Lionsgate, was chatting and laughing with an ordinary-looking woman about forty or fifty years old, when he saw Zhou Shaoming and Michael Parsennecke being led in by the waiter, and quickly stood up.

"Smith Chow, this trip to Canada went well, right? Haha, this is Meryl Streep, one of the best actresses in the United States, if not the world! Frank first expressed an intimate hug with Zhou Shaoming, and then introduced Meryl to him.

Looking at the legendary most Oscar nominations, Meryl Streep, who won two Oscars (Meryl Streep, who played British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in 2012 "The Iron Lady", won the Golden Man for the third time with her outstanding performance), Zhou Shaoming finally knew why there are several actresses with performance scores of about 80 today, and why he always feels that something is missing.

It's an aura, the kind of superstar aura that is light and clear, but it is deeply unforgettable and irresistible!

Meryl Streep, as a star, she is boring, first sent away her terminally ill first love, then married a sculptor, and started a family before becoming famous, 30 years of ordinary marriage has never had the scandal that people are accustomed to; As an actor, she is so brilliant that people are jealous, 17 Oscar nominations, 3 Golden Statuettes, Cannes Actress, Berlin Actress, 26 Golden Globe nominations, 8 awards, 3 Emmy nominations, 2 awards and praises, and erects an insurmountable "Meryl Streep Barrier" for her successors.

Streep's on-screen charm has long transcended borders and ethnicities, and her performances have been recognized by audiences around the world, ranking fifth among the best female stars of the 20th century, with the comment that "natural and intimate, as if living around us".

"Queen of Acting", this is the media's praise for her, in 1995, she starred in "The Dream of the Covered Bridge". Her performance is almost perfect, she delicately expresses the feeling of inner passion explosion of ordinary housewives in the face of sudden love, and also interprets the character's painful struggle between love and responsibility is very well interpreted. This work became one of the most famous love classics in the history of cinema.

"Hello! Young great director, it's a pleasure to meet you! Although Meryl is 50 years old, she does not look old, she looks like she is only in her thirties and has been forgotten by the years, she showed a moving smile, stretched out her hand and shook Zhou Shaoming gently.

And her information appeared in front of Zhou Shaoming at that moment.

Comprehensive evaluation: Oscar-winning actress.

Do you still need a director system evaluation? The Oscar-winning actress says it all. The acting score of up to 95 is proud of all the actors Zhou Shaoming has ever seen.

And Zhou Shaoming, who has interviewed no less than 500 actors, also has some understanding of acting scores, about 50 points are dragon actors, about 60 points are third-rate actors, about 70 points are second-rate, and 80 points can reach the level of Hollywood first-class actors, and if the interviewer has a high score of 90 points, then congratulations, this is a score that only Oscar winners can have!

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Meryl! I am very honored to meet the Oscar-winning actress! Zhou Shaoming still has some respect for his predecessors in the film industry, especially the kind and kind elders who have a good impression of himself at 60, which makes him take the initiative to express his deep respect.

"Come on, let's sit down and talk slowly!" Frank smiled and asked everyone to sit down.

"I've heard for a long time that the father of chainsaws is a young man, and I've seen your movie too, it's very cleverly conceived and the plot is fascinating. Robert Jr., Jeremy, and Tobin gave amazing performances! Christina, who is a newcomer, also plays Amanda, who is also outstanding. Meryl took a sip of coffee slowly and said to Zhou Shaoming with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, I think I still have a lot to learn." As a junior, Zhou Shaoming naturally didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he could only remain polite and respond with a debt......

"The use of blood in SAW to inform people that life is cherished, is an unexpected idea, and I would like to discuss it with Mr. Smith Chow more when I have the opportunity."

"Well, very willingly! If you can join me on the filming of my second film, then we have a lot of opportunities to communicate, haha! ”

"Mr. Frank told me that your second film is about a teacher and a rebellious child? I would also like to ask Mr. Smith Zhou to explain it to me. ”

"Okay, so the story is about a 1949 rural American boarding school for girls called the Pondside Bottom Nursing Home. The school is nicknamed 'Bottom of the Pond' because most of the students here are naughty girls. A frustrated musician named Jeanne Benia came here as a temporary substitute teacher, and she found that the school's headmistress, Emma Ted, was using brutal and high-handed methods to manage the troubled teenagers, and corporal punishment was commonplace here. Zhou Shaoming spoke eloquently and explained his movie in detail, and Meryl listened very carefully, thinking about Zhou Shaoming's words.

"The natural children's chorus will break the cold school rules, and the heart-warming teachers will be like guides sent by God to guide the lost children and find their way forward." Zhou Shaoming waved his hand a little excitedly, trying to express the power contained in "The Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", and Meryl, who had been listening without words, gradually stretched the tight lines on her face.

Frank applauded softly and praised him: "Meryl, there is no doubt about Smith Chow's directing ability, he is an extraordinary person, an incomparable supernova!" ”

Zhou Shaoming ignored Frank's sycophants, he knew that the guy only valued the investment of 14 million dollars, if the 14 million was wasted and "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" failed at the box office, that guy would not hesitate to say that he was a clumsy speculator and should be thrown into the garbage.

"But this year, I've already made a similar film, 'Strings Move My Heart,' about Roberta, a music teacher who, after decades of hard work, has made it to the big stage where children learn the violin and get on the big stage. Roberta has also been understood and respected as an inspirational story. This movie was released in the United States in September this year, I don't know Mr. Smith Zhou, have you seen it? Meryl thought for a moment, then asked.

"Huh?" Zhou Shaoming's eyes widened, touching his head, and he couldn't speak.

"Ahaha, Mr. Smith Chow was busy promoting Saw at the time, so I haven't seen your masterpiece yet!" When Frank saw Zhou Shaoming's embarrassment, he immediately understood, and hurriedly played a round.

"The same teacher theme, the same characters, if there is nothing special, I don't want to repeat myself, I don't want to go through the road again." Meryl said lightly.
