"No, it's different, it's fundamentally different!" Zhou Shaoming got rid of the embarrassment, calmed down, and then said firmly.
"So can you tell me what's the difference between the two? Mr. Smith Chow. Meryl asked rhetorically with a smile.
"Please forgive my offense, I haven't seen the movie "Strings in My Heart", I believe it must be a good work, and I even wishfully believe that you can be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for this movie." Zhou Shaoming stood up a little excitedly, serious and serious, and talked eloquently.
Meryl, on the other hand, raised their heads to look at him and listened quietly.
"But what is a movie, a movie? Just for the super high box office? Is it just to make people move in the cinema for a while, cry for a while, and then forget about it a few days later? Even if the critics remember it and the Oscars remember it, what's the use? That's not what we film directors, film actors, are aiming for! What we need to do is to change, to lead, to create a phenomenon! It is to allow all the audience to be able to recall, learn, use and participate in life after walking out of the cinema. Turn movies, our movies into a part of life! I dare to assert that because of "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class", this perfect movie, has a direct impact on the lives of Americans! I can even guarantee that "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class" will set off a chorus across the United States**, and hundreds of thousands of audiences of all ages will form countless choirs. The children's chorus, the chorus, will resound throughout the continental United States! Zhou Shaoming waved his hand vigorously, as if he was the leader of the orchestra, his expression was solemn and solemn, and his words were unquestionable.
"So Mr. Smith Chow, why do you think your film can take the United States by storm? Can't "Strings Move My Heart"? Meryl asked, somewhat unconvinced.
"Quite simply, the violin is not expensive, but it is not cheap, and I believe that this noble art will not be accepted by the general public, since the violin has been a form of entertainment for a small number of people, and in the new millennium, the number of people who can use the violin may not be as many as those who can use the guitar. And why do I think "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class" will be a success? Because the chorus does not need to be a soloist, it must have extraordinary strength, as long as you love music, anyone can join the choir. To put it vulgarly, it is enough to bring a mouth, and this is the basis of the national frenzy! Moreover, I already have a score in my heart for all the movie promotions. I'm going to start with the promotion and let the whole movie take the whole country by storm! Zhou Shaoming was serious, and then waved his hand frantically and explained.
Meryl was a little dumbfounded, Zhou Shaoming's words were clearly just a sophistry, but when she thought about it carefully, she seemed to feel that what that guy said made some sense. As for the movie before it was made, Smith Zhou thought of a promotional move, and what he said to sweep the United States, which is not something to consider at the moment, it can only be said that this guy thinks very far.
"Ms. Meryl, I understand that no one wants to repeat themselves, but this is not a repetition, it is a refinement! The regrets that were not achieved in "Strings Move My Heart" will be restored in "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", and even, go further! I believe that in a year's time, when you have nothing to do at night, when you take your family and children out for a walk, you will find a lot of people, they are gathered together, led by the conductor, singing songs of praise to God, and you can proudly say to your family that all this was created by you, changed by you, and this will be the work that you have really achieved your goal of being an actor for decades! ”
"Can you please show me the script?" Meryl was stunned and didn't say anything, just made a request.
Zhou Shaoming handed the storyboard script to Meryl, and she looked at it, seriously and carefully.
For two hours, the coffee continued and continued, and Meryl kept reading the script extremely attentively, without saying a word.
Frank and Michael Parsennecke both couldn't sit still and twisted their bodies incessantly, while Zhou Shaoming took the napkin on the table and began to fold paper airplanes one after another.
"Well, I'm done!" It was half past ten in the evening, and Meryl finally looked up.
"How?" Frank asked eagerly.
And Zhou Shaoming didn't speak, only paying attention to Meryl's expression changes, and there was a little drumming in his heart, after all, the golden sign of the second Oscar actress made this guy a little uneasy.
"So, Mr. Smith Chow, what do you want to convey in the movie?" Meryl gracefully picked up the coffee, took a sip slowly, and then turned her head to look at Zhou Shaoming, and asked with a blazing gaze.
"What kind of life, fresh or bleak, will be finally frozen in a fluttering attitude, joy, sorrow and tears fly away, become a remembered or forgotten past, there is such a person, inadvertently appear in our life, light a lamp called hope, take us out of the fog. You are that person, being in it, being that person, and bringing the shock of washing the hearts of all the audience. Zhou Shaoming stared at Meryl's eyes and said slowly.
Meryl suddenly smiled: "Your film reminds me of my mother, when I was 12 years old, I officially started to learn to sing, and with my mother's guidance and encouragement, I hope to become an opera singer." Everybody has moments of confusion and wants someone to tell them what to do, and I think I'd like to try to understand your script and understand what you call Jenny Benya, a great female musician. ”
Frank stood up excitedly and danced with his hands: "Haha, I said that Smith Zhou will definitely impress you, he is a different guy!" But soon he sat down again and said with a look of embarrassment: "Meryl, you know, we don't have a lot of budget for this movie, only ......"
"Two million dollars, isn't it? How can I refuse money in the face of such a good movie? Count your friendship price! Meryl quickly understood Frank's intentions, but she didn't intend to bargain with the capitalists because she valued art over money, she just wanted to play the role she wanted, a deep and memorable role.
"Thank you, thank you!" Millions of dollars were saved, and Frank's teeth were almost falling off the ground.
"Wait, that's not the case!" Zhou Shaoming, who was temporarily cold and folded a lot of paper airplanes with napkins, suddenly raised his head and said seriously.
"What other questions do you have? Smith Chow. Frank looked at Zhou Shaoming, who suddenly had an objection, strangely.
"I hope to come up with an acting question, Ms. Meryl, it's not that I'm disrespectful to you, this is my second movie, the character of Jenny is the soul of this movie, I can't be sloppy!" Zhou Shaoming said word by word with a straight face.
Michael Parsenech listened, and hurriedly kicked Zhou Shaoming under the table, this is a second Oscar queen, you are just a new director who is ready to make a second film, Meryl promised to reduce the price of the star, even if it is good, but also have to test others with acting questions?
She's not one of those fringe characters who can't find a role!
And Zhou Shaoming kicked Michael Parsennek heavily under the table, kicking the guy to the point that his face was blue, but he still insisted on looking into Meryl's eyes, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Hehe, that's how it should be, Mr. Director, then, please come up with a performance question!" Meryl smiled, but put on a serious expression, as if she was not an Oscar-winning actress, and now she was just a newcomer who wanted to get a role.
