Chapter 123: Will Smith
Thank you for the great reward ~~~~!!
-----------
Zhou Shaoming smiled apologetically at Christina, and how could she not know that this was a necessary entertainment, Christina smiled back, and he left with Frank.
Taking a cocktail from the waiter, Zhou Shaoming took a sip lightly, and the person standing in front of him made his heart tremble, and he could only hide his excitement by drinking.
The man in front of him has always been an idol-level actor in Zhou Shaoming's heart who died in his previous life, "Black Prince" Will Smith!
He starred in movies such as "Jedi Men", "Reading Force", "Men in Black" series, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", "I Am Legend" and so on!
This is a man whose films have grossed more than $100 million per film, and in the original world until 2009, the total box office of movies starring Will Smith exceeded $5.2 billion!
And Will Smith, a little Superman, was a well-known singer before he entered Hollywood. In the year he graduated from high school, he formed a rap group with his friend Jeff Townes, "Sir DJ Jeff & the Fresh Prince", and released two platinum albums.
As one of the most influential figures in the American music rap industry, Will Smith has won four Grammy Awards, which are regarded as the highest awards in the music industry by other musicians!
But Will Smith's eye sockets in front of him were deep-set, and the cyan stubble looked a little out of place at this star-studded awards ceremony, and the whole person seemed to have lost his spirit and felt a little decadent.
There were no other filmmakers around him, as if for a while, the most favored guy in black people by Lady Luck was finally discovered by the sober God, and unceremoniously knocked him off the altar, and everyone was afraid of being implicated and avoided it.
"Will, take it easy, those people are some small people, and you will soon be able to bounce back and get out of the shadow of the Hurricane Warriors!" Frank patted Will Smith on the shoulder with understanding, and smiled most kindly.
"Thanks, Frank, you're a good man." There was a hint of gratitude on Will's face, and he casually skimmed his surroundings, and the people who were singing and laughing did not pay any attention to what was happening here, and a sense of loss came naturally.
"Hurricane Cop"? Zhou Shaoming suddenly realized.
On more than one occasion in the original world, Will Smith said angrily that "Hurricane" was the only bad movie he had ever starred in, and that he hated it so much that he blamed himself when it got its nearly $50 million debut. The film cost $170 million, but in the end the global box office was only 222 million, which can be said to be a rare fiasco since Smith made the film. "Hurricane" only ranked 17th on the North American box office list in 1999, two places lower than "Enemy of the Nation", which cost only half of it, and "Hurricane" also ranked 17th on the global box office list that year.
"Hurricane Cop", adapted from a popular TV series in the sixties, lost its original cheerful magic on the big screen, and even led to a brief low ebb in Smith's career. The average IMDB score of "Hurricane Warriors", which is full of bad reviews, is only 4.1, standing on the edge of the pile of bad movies. Of course, the Golden Raspberry Award, which has always liked to fall into the ground, did not miss this opportunity, giving it five awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, but the judges still let Will Smith go and nominated for the Worst Actor Award to Kevin Crane, another star of the film. Film critics will naturally not be polite to such bad movies, and 80 of the 101 film reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes are spitting.
The anxious Will has never stood on the cusp of the storm like this since he became a film, and he has always been a little conceited and arrogant, facing the saliva of the sky, he was once so depressed that he didn't want to believe himself.
During this time, Will has been locking himself in his home for introspection, and he will not participate in the entertainment if he can not participate, but at today's Oscar ceremony, Will can't help but give face to this biggest event in the film industry.
In the Holy Cathedral, Will found himself as if he was isolated, although everyone still had a smiling face when they saw him, but the indifference and resistance between the words were obvious, which made Will who had always lived in the spotlight quite unaccustomed.
Frank, the big boss of Lionsgate, is a discerning guy. He didn't fall into Will, but gave Will a big hug more warmly.
At present, with the warm hug of the owner of the film company who is in the limelight in "Chainsaw", Will looks better, looks at the wine in front of him, shows a kind smile to himself, and even has some warm Smith Zhou in his eyes, Will Smith's mood is even better.
"Hello Director Smith, I'm Will Smith." Will also cleaned up his mood and shook hands with Zhou Shaoming warmly, with a respectful and humble tone, which made Zhou Shaoming quite comfortable.
"You're my idol! The most acting star on the planet! Mr. Will! Zhou Shaoming laughed and shook Will's hand vigorously.
Most of the fans in this world like the actors in the movie, not the director of the movie, but in the film industry, the status of the top film director is far more than the top movie actor. A good film director can achieve the desired height like a different actor, but when a movie changes its director, it is almost a change of soul, and the whole movie may change a lot.
"Haha, you two talk first, I'll go meet an old friend!" Frank was happy to see the two of them, so he left with understanding, and let the director talk more. As the owner of a film company with a vicious vision, all he cares about is to have a good relationship with more top actors or directors, this time Will is at a low ebb in his career, and he introduced the hottest director to Will, believing that this act of sending carbon in the snow is enough to make Will grateful to himself.
Will and Zhou Shaoming both nodded, and Frank refreshed himself and went to another place with his wine glass.
"I went to the cinema too, and it's a rare horror masterpiece, and I can't imagine anyone else in the world who can make such a wonderful movie for more than a million dollars! I heard that SAW's global box office broke the $300 million mark? Will smiled kindly, and slapped Zhou Shaoming's ass quietly.
"Haha, you praise it, SAW's global box office has indeed broken 300 million, but I believe that my next movie will definitely break this number." Zhou Shaoming smiled slightly, but that extraordinary self-confidence made him look unusually unique......
"Then I really want to congratulate Director Smith Chow in advance, your second film seems to be finished, right? Those flash mobs are deadly! In the past few days, newspapers and TV have been introducing "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class", hehe, when are you going to release it? Will took two cocktails from the waiter passing by and handed one to Zhou Shaoming, and the two touched lightly.
"On May 12, 3,000 movie theaters across the United States were launched at the same time." Zhou Shaoming smiled and took a sip of his cocktail, as if it was just a trivial matter.
