"Welcome to Hollywood, Shao!"

Brown. Wei Wei held his wine glass and gestured to Shao Shuaijun. This is the villa of the wealthy in Los Angeles, built halfway up the hill and offers a panoramic view of Hollywood's glittering lights. Brown was the president of Miramax Films, and after taking over the mess at Miramax Films from Harry, "Painted Skin" was his first attempt at film.

"Painted Skin" lived up to expectations, winning the weekend box office championship with a dark horse posture of $30.28 million. After more than a week of release, the total box office was 41.05 million US dollars, excluding the theater share and publicity expenses, it can already ensure a small profit, and the future box office will be a net profit.

Brown, who was in a good mood, immediately hosted a banquet for Shao Shuaijun and others in his villa. Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Xie Tingfeng, True Bullet, Sun Li and others were all freed from domestic propaganda and came to the United States to enjoy this glorious moment. In the original plan, I didn't expect "Painted Skin" to be so successful in the United States, so it still focused on Asian promotion, and several leading actors flew all over Asia.

However, "Painted Skin" bucked the trend in the United States, and suddenly let investors see a golden mountain.

Asia's desperate efforts are not as good as making a fortune in the United States.

After a short period of discussion, the investor temporarily decided to let the leading actors come to the United States to promote. That's why it's tonight's villa dinner.

Shao Shuaijun shakes the red wine in the goblet, which is said to be from the Château Lysalus, a private collection of Brown in Sauternes, France. According to his boast, this red wine is the best in the world, and only a small glass of grapes can be made from a single vine, and even some vintages are not qualified. Not a single bottle of wine can be made.

No matter how powerful Brown bragged, in Shao Shuaijun's eyes, it should be mixed with Sprite to taste good: "It doesn't matter if Hollywood welcomes me or not, it's enough for the American audience to welcome me." ”

"Haha, that's right, as long as you're willing to pay for it, it doesn't matter if it's Hollywood or Bollywood, it's a good movie. Cheers to the dollar! ”

"Cheers." Shao Shuaijun took a sip of red wine, a little bitter. I can't drink this thing, and there is a little bit of a good place to drink it. However, it is not the wine that is drunk, but the taste," the glass of wine glow-in-the-dark. If you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled. In ancient times, a few people came back to fight. Wine. Good poetry! ”

"What?" Brown asked curiously.

"A poem written by an ancient Chinese said that the lives of soldiers who set out on the expedition will end at some point, so why not have fun in time." Shao Shuaijun smiled.

"Haha. Yes, it's time to have fun. See, our blonde beauties in Hollywood are already calling you with their eyes, and I won't hinder you young people. Brown smiled and patted Shao Shuaijun on the shoulder, turned to leave, the meaning was self-evident.

Before Brown had left, a tall blonde woman came with a glass of champagne and a catwalk. Before I could get closer, a pungent smell of perfume came over me. The beauty held up the champagne: "Hi, big director from China, hello." My name is Christina. ”

"Hello." Shao Shuaijun turned his nose quietly, such a strong perfume smell was either a matter of taste, or it was to cover up the smell on his body. Either way, Shao Shuaijun was not interested.

"I watched 'Painted Skin', a really good movie, and I was so moved after watching it. The director who can make such a great movie must be a romantic and amorous director. When I met the director himself, I have to say that my idea is correct, you are very handsome, cool, and young and full of masculinity, this is the charm of orientals. ”

The blonde beauty chattered with a burst of praise, and then gently leaned closer to Shao Shuaijun, with a hint of provocation in her eyes: "Don't you want to know my phone number, you can ask me out for coffee alone." ”

Uh, is this a pick-up, or do you want to be tackled?

Shao Shuaijun was speechless.

He wanted to say that although you look very spicy from a distance, you are too tall, your skin is too rough, your makeup is too strong, and the smell of perfume is too pungent.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't have time to ask you out."

The blonde beauty didn't entangle, nodded and left, and after the blonde beauty, a few more hot beauties came over to talk. It's a pity that Shao Shuaijun doesn't have much interest in Europeans and Americans, and always feels that Europeans and Americans have too rough skin and too big pores, and they are not as delicate as Oriental skin.

Back and forth a few times, Shao Shuaijun was like a comrade, and he was not interested in women at all. The blonde beauties who hit the wall one after another naturally ignored his existence and looked for their prey. Shao Shuaijun was left alone holding the unpalatable red wine, looking at the men and women under the light with great interest.

Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun have obviously become the focus of the audience, and the popularity of "Painted Skin" has made her two Chinese stars familiar to Americans again in the mainland after Zhang Ziyi. And Real Bullet and Xie Tingfeng were very open, chatting and laughing with several blonde beauties.

After a while, Chen Kun and Sun Li joined Shao Shuaijun's camp, and the three of them sat on the sofa, talking boringly. Shao Shuaijun felt bored, Chen Kun was a little depressed, Sun Li was not taken seriously, and the three of them seemed to be isolated from the social circle.

"Boss, when are you going to shoot "Twilight"? I bought the novel and read it several times, it's so good. Sun Li had nothing to say.

"It should be soon, it's already ready to go, "Twilight" is very simple, and the filming is very fast."

Shao Shuaijun said a little boredly, somehow, "Painted Skin" was successful, and he suddenly had no interest in "Twilight" to start filming. Indeed, "Twilight" has the foreshadowing of a novel, and there are examples of future success, as long as he uses a little snack, these series of movies will become popular all over the world.

But is there anything to praise about "Twilight"?

What is the point other than the box office?

If you want to talk about the box office, it is not the same as if he found someone to shoot it to get the box office, so why waste his time.

For fame?

He really doesn't think that any of the directors who filmed "Twilight" in their previous lives became popular because of this, or won awards or whatever. Such a tasteless popcorn movie, if he is still a complete newcomer, may be praised for the box office of the movie.

But now he has hit Hollywood three times, and he won the weekly championship as he wished, which is in the mainland, except for Zhang Yimou, there is no one else! And "Painted Skin" is almost equivalent to the box office of "Hero" in a month, and his commercial achievements in the United States will far surpass Zhang Yimou.

"Perhaps, when 'Painted Skin' is over, I'll have to reorient myself...... Until then, let me hear my cheers again! ”

Bring a glass of juice and pour it into your own red wine.

Goo-dong.

Once you drink it, it tastes great.

This is the taste of red wine! (To be continued......)
