Chapter 221: War Movie?
Chapter 221 War Movie?
Zhou Shaoming stretched out his hand, smiled helplessly, and then said to Jon seriously: "I want to too, but the inspiration came too quickly, and I was afraid that it would disappear in an instant, so I rushed over in such a hurry." ”
"Oh, what kind of inspiration makes you so anxious." Jon hadn't come to his senses yet.
After a long while, looking at Zhou Shaoming, who seemed to be smiling, Jon rubbed his palms excitedly and said in disbelief: "What did you say?" What kind of inspiration, don't tell me that you have a new movie to shoot, "Warrior" is still in theaters! ”
Before Zhou Shaoming could speak, Jon continued anxiously: "I thought the reporters gathered downstairs just wanted to take a few photos of you, but I didn't expect the paparazzi to be faster than my news!" Haha, please come in and sit down, let's talk! ”
Jon said, turning his head to Vivien, who was staring at Smith intently, and said, "You go get me two cups of coffee, and ah, if there is any call to find me, just say I'm not available right now, and I'll get back to them later." ”
Vivien nodded, and then walked out quickly.
Zhou Shaoming followed Christina and sat on the sofa of Jon's company, and there were ladies present, so Jon was very gentlemanly and didn't take out his cigar and hand it to Zhou Shaoming, but just sat back in his seat and laughed at Zhou Shaoming: "Haha, my Smith Zhou, I haven't seen you for a few days, how is life enjoying?" Oh God, it's only been a few days since the last goodbye, and Christina you're pretty again! ”
Christina smiled slightly, "Thanks, you guys can get down to business, don't pat me on the back, Mr. Jon." ”
Zhou Shaoming smiled and said to Jon: "Life has to be enjoyed, but life has to work hard to earn money." I also hope to be like you, just stay in the office and work comfortably, with a beautiful secretary by your side. ”
"If you like it, I'll arrange for Vivian to be your secretary, speaking of which, Zhou, your current outing is not worthy of the title of a phenomenal director like you, no matter how you say it, you have to be accompanied by a few bodyguards, and then a beautiful secretary to accompany you." Jon sat back in the senior chair and quipped.
If you change to another director, you won't get this kind of treatment. Jon and Zhou Shaoming are friends, and there is naturally nothing to take care of between friends, and in addition, Smith Chow is now the biggest cash cow of Lionsgate, so Jon, who is empathetic and has a good interpersonal relationship, strives to create a relaxed atmosphere in order to make Director Smith Chow more comfortable.
Although the atmosphere is relaxed, Zhou Shaoming's heart is not easy, which pot of Jon should not be mentioned, his real girlfriend is still next to him, and he doesn't look at the situation.
At this moment, one of Christina's small hands has been pinched on the soft flesh of Zhou Shaoming's waist, women's tricks of pinching people know no borders, and they have always eaten men all over the world with one move, Christina is naturally no exception, her favorite is to pinch Zhou Shaoming's waist.
Zhou Shaoming was also helpless, his waist ached, and he had to smile on his face, although he was answering Jon, but he said to Christina: "No need, such a good beautiful secretary should be left to yourself, I have my favorite Christina!" ”
Hearing this, Christina gave a look that counted as your recognition, and her little hand let go, Zhou Shaoming finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Jon on the other side was amused by the flirting between the couple in front of him.
There was a knock on the door, and Jon stopped laughing, sat up straight, and said, "Come in." ”
Vivian took two cups of coffee, carefully placed them in front of Christina and Zhou Shaoming, and walked out, not forgetting to look back at Christina a few more times when she left.
Christina kept staring at Zhou Shaoming, as long as his eyes were a little fluttering, she was immediately ready to pinch his waist.
Fortunately, Zhou Shaoming has been sitting respectfully, and after Vivian came in, he didn't even change his eyes, and Jon, who was looking at it, praised this guy for his courage.
After the joke, Jon also began to get into the topic, only to see him put away the hippie smiling face, and said to Zhou Shaoming: "How is it, Director Smith Chow, is there a new movie plan?" ”
After listening to Jon's words, Zhou Shaoming took a sip of coffee lightly, and then said: "Yes, because of the 729 incident, I really want to make a war movie to stimulate the passion of the people of the United States, after all, the world is very different because of this incident." ”
Jon frowned, and then said: "This 729 incident has just happened, and the whole United States is immersed in grief, if a war movie is filmed, will it make fans disgusted?" ”
It is normal for Jon to have concerns, after all, after the 729 incident, the whole United States was in mourning, and some people even shouted the slogan that we are all Americans today, expressing anger at terrorist attacks and grief over civilian casualties, which is likely to lead to accusations and antipathy for all wars.
At present, the box office in the United States has plummeted in the past few days, and ordinary people are afraid of gathering in places where people are concentrated and being planted by terrorists and the like.
Many large-scale films produced by film companies have taken the initiative to postpone the release time, waiting for the turmoil to subside.
Jon didn't know, but Zhou Shaoming's psychology knew it clearly, who called him a traverser, the incident of 729 had just happened, and he had already expected what would happen later.
After a short period of panic, the American film market will recover, and war movies are extremely hot throughout the end of 2001 and 2002, the most noteworthy is "The Lord of the Rings" released at the end of the year, "Black Hawk Down" at the beginning of next year, "Star Wars Prequel 2" in the summer vacation, and "The Lord of the Rings 2" at the end of the year, of course, the only orthodox war film is "Black Hawk Down", and the Lord of the Rings and Star Wars prequels are set up under the guise of war.
"Well, I understand your concerns, but will you trust me for once? I will show you the results that the American people will soon wake up from their grief and have the courage to start life again. Zhou Shaoming looked at Jon with a firm gaze.
Christina on the side also broke the silence and spoke for Zhou Shaoming: "Yes, Jon, didn't you also give Zhou a chance at the beginning, so that the sensational movie Chainsaw was born?" Please believe in it once a week! He can definitely do miracles. ”
Relying only on pure intuition, Jon couldn't help but be moved, after all, the previous achievements of the father of chainsaws were real! In addition, Zhou Shaoming's current fame like rì Zhongtian is not something he can refuse casually.
Thinking of this, Jon gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but it's not me who can make a decision in the end, I still have to talk to my boss." ”
Seeing that Jon was relieved, Zhou Shaoming and Christina were relieved, and after glancing at each other, they found that each other's eyes were full of joy, Zhou Shaoming saw it clearly, and knew that his girlfriend was also worried about himself, so he hurriedly hugged Christina's waist and kissed him deeply.
Christina glanced at Jon, who was on the phone, and whispered, "There are still people here, you bad guy, be careful." ”
"It's okay, Jon isn't an outsider." Zhou Shaoming whispered in Christina's ear. This breath hit Christina's ears, and even Christina's sparkling and dewy earlobes turned red.
If it weren't for someone now, Zhou Shaoming would really want to bite her ear.
Christina shyly dodged away and peeked at Jon, who quickly turned his head and smiled, "You go on, I'll call." ”
Seeing Jon's embarrassed appearance, Christina hurriedly pushed away the hand holding her waist, and said coquettishly: "If you don't pay attention, I'm going to make a trick!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand again and wanted to twist it around Zhou Shaoming's waist.
Zhou Shaoming was so frightened that she quickly retracted her hand and pretended to be serious, which made her laugh.
Jon's phone finally worked, and Frank's lazy voice came from the other end of the line, and there were vague gasps of several girls.
"Jon? What's wrong, what's the matter? I'm so busy. ”
Jon cleared his throat, glanced at Zhou Shaoming, who was sitting, unconsciously stood upright, and said respectfully: "That's the case, boss, Director Smith Zhou is about to start filming his fourth film, and now he is in my office, so I want to talk to you about it." ”
As Jon said this, Frank's voice on the other end of the line was obviously much happier, only to hear him laugh and say, "Oh? That's great! Let's just follow the old rules, if Director Smith Chow wants to work with Lionsgate next time, you can just make your own decisions, and you don't have to come to me every time. ”
This is a trust and affirmation of Jon and Zhou Shaoming, if it was before, Zhou Shaoming would definitely be very happy to hear it, but this time, I am afraid that the situation will be different.
After a pause, Frank seemed to think of something again, and then asked, "So, what kind of movie is he going to make this time?" ”
Hearing the boss's question, Jon hurriedly raised his head and looked at Zhou Shaoming, Zhou Shaoming smiled and whispered: "War movie, Spartan three hundred warriors." ”
Jon nodded, then nodded into the phone and said, "Boss, the next movie he wants to make is the Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta, which is a war movie." ”
The other end of the phone quickly fell silent, as if no one was listening, and the atmosphere was indescribably solemn.
It was a long time before Frank's voice came, but it had lost its previous pleasure and was a little deeper.
"What do you say? He's going to make a war movie? (To be continued.)
