Thomas was as enthusiastic as ever, perhaps because he was working on a project, and he seemed to be familiar enough to make friends with Shen Zhenghui, "Oh my God, John, why did you call me so late!" "I thought you were still in England, but I didn't expect you to go back to Japan, you should come right now, we have a lot of contracts for you to sign!" ”

"I've been sick lately." Shen Zhenghui explained.

"Yes, yes, I understand, the body is more important." Thomas seemed a little babbling, "The weather in England is so bad, their food is terrible, I can't stand it after staying there for a long time, in fact, I also had an illness when I just returned to the United States, which refreshed my stomach that I had become accustomed to the bad food in England." ”

Shen Zhenghui grabbed his hair.

"Ah, I think I'm too far away." Thomas came back to his senses, "My friend, don't stay in Japan, come to the United States, we have a lot to talk about, Columbia and Sony are both interested in a sequel to Hurricane Rescue, and they can't wait to negotiate a contract with the director and actors for a sequel." "Spielberg and Marshall both wanted to meet you, and they thought maybe you were an expert in Japanese culture." ”

"If you want to talk about research experts, I have a vote under my hand." Shen Zhenghui realized which Spielberg was preparing to executive produce, Robert? Marshall's plans for "Memoirs of a Geisha" may have been a real source of criticism, "but I don't know much about this Japanese way of art, but in other words." Do you Americans still have to make movies with a pure Japanese flavor? In that case, there will be no Americans at all. ”

"Listen, that's my opinion too." Thomas exclaimed in a somewhat smug tone, "So they're actually not going to look for real experts in the so-called Japanese geisha art." They are ready to consult you for the opinion of the best commercial director in the Japanese market. ”

"Isn't this an art film?" Shen Zhenghui deliberately said, "I thought that Colombia invested in this kind of film just to win the Oscar." ”

"We certainly want it to have both," Thomas laughed, "and both Spielberg and Marshall felt it was a challenge to their fame." According to their thinking, even art films need box office. ”

"Now I can understand why the bigger the director, the slower the time to produce works." Shen Zhenghui teased.

"Yes, yes," says Thomas, "their previous success was a huge pressure on them," he laughs, "but you're different, you can always surpass the other." ”

"I'm just not over yet," Shen replied. "I don't know when it will end, maybe it's the next one!"

"Don't say that." Thomas said.

The two talked about some trivial things on the phone, and finally Shen Zhenghui hung up the phone.

"How?" Mitsumi Fukuda asked.

"Why do you want me to sign the contract, can't you just sign it there?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"I'm here to sign? Very good, then you sign a contract with Kasuga to sell yourself first, and I'll match you with an agent. Mitsumi Fukuda blinked.

Shen Zhenghui spread his hands, "The film has not been released yet, what does he say about the contract for the next one?" ”

"First of all, you have to be enthusiastic. Then you will be embarrassed to raise the price after the box office comes out. ”

"Am I going to be that weak?" Shen Zhenghui raised his eyebrows, "I will definitely raise the price." ”

"That's okay too. You just have to be willing to shoot. Mitsumi Fukuda said.

"They're really ...... Ah," Shen Zhenghui's association played a role, "do you say that there is such a possibility," he asked, "maybe our American friends will do some terrible things to me like your English friends." ”

"Do you have a video camera in your head?" Mitsumi Fukuda asked rhetorically.

"Well, I'm glad it turned out like this." Shen Zhenghui snorted, "But I can't believe that I can be so lucky every time." ”

"Maybe we should get his camera from Sauron to connect to the camera in your head." Mitsumi Fukuda said lukewarmly.

"Oh? May I? Shen Zhenghui was a little excited, "Although it can't be used to make movies, it's very good to use it to make zuò cartoons and sub-shots." ”

Mitsumi Fukuda was a little embarrassed to say that she was joking, "And then you have to inject psychotropic drugs every time." You have to rely on Aiko every time to wake you up from your dreams. ”

Shen Zhenghui was suddenly slightly embarrassed, "Thinking about it this way, this thing is not too easy to use." ”

"But maybe it's like a mobile phone, it's growing fast?" Mitsumi Fukuda said.

Shen Zhenghui fell into deep thought, and after a while, he reacted, "Isn't it?" Aren't we talking about America? ”

"What do you think of Nick you saw last time? Will Mr. Anderson and Miss Mason do terrible things? Mitsumi Fukuda asked.

"It may not be possible just to look at their appearance, but who knows what kind of people they are?" Shen Zhenghui spread out his hands, "Maybe they also have the same underground room as Sauron, and then I was tied to the test bench again." ”

Mitsumi Fukuda pouted, "It seems that you still know too little about Sauron. ”

"Of course, I didn't know him at all." Shen Zhenghui was a little indignant.

"He came from an aristocratic background and had a temporary position in Britain's foreign intelligence service." Mitsumi Fukuda introduced.

"So?"

"As far as I know, since the beginning of the US war against Afghanistan and Iraq, he has been working on the formation of PMC companies that are part of the English military." Mitsumi Fukuda added, "This is his core work in the near future. ”

“PMC？” Shen Zhenghui repeated the word with some uncertainty, "Does this mean that he is essentially a warmonger?" ”

"You're right," replied Mitsumi Fukuda, "but we generally think he has bigger plans. ”

"We?"

It means not just me, but other people. For example, the two in the United States. Mitsumi Fukuda replied.

"Wait, you're making the whole thing complicated for me." Shen Zhenghui's eyes widened.

"You don't need to know too much to be safe." Mitsumi Fukuda said, "Especially if things like this one don't happen in England again." ”

"Wait," Shen Zhenghui's cheeks twitched, "This time it's all because Sauron and they are too confident in their equipment." Logically speaking, shouldn't it be tortured or something? If I can't tell, they don't think I'm determined to keep secrets. ”

"If that's the case," Mitsumi Fukuda said with some excuse, "I can't sue you for more." ”

Shen Zhenghui felt that he had been stabbed in the heart, and staggered back, "That's how you treat me?" ”

Mitsumi Fukuda looked at the ceiling, "Let's discuss your work arrangements in the United States!" She said that even if Chinese men have good tempers. If he goes too far, he won't be able to get down his face. Mitsumi Fukuda began to try to change the subject.

Shen Zhenghui, who was devastated, did not gain enough comfort from his good friend Ning Huan.

"I'm a little minion, and this kind of thing naturally has a tall man like you to worry about." Ning Huan was studying hard, and he didn't care at all about Shen Zhenghui's mention of other time-travelers in this world, "It has nothing to do with me, my goal now is to become a director, and then I can unscrupulously uncover the rules in the entertainment industry......" He said while staring at the book, and kept writing notes. "Don't bother me, I'm busy. In addition to studying, write TV drama scripts for your women. ”

"You weren't such a hard-working guy before!" Shen Zhenghui was so angry that he wanted to roll his eyes, "In your last life, you were a eunuch and wrote countless novels, and now you write more things in one year than you write in five years, have you really changed your sex?" ”

"In addition to the pressure of life, the mental pressure will also urge human progress." Ning Huan raised his head, but stopped studying as if he was serious. "Look at it, Donnie and Zhang Yi were admitted to Oxford University, Bai Tao is now a professional player, although I play in the German third-tier league, if I don't achieve anything in Japan, is it too faceless."

"You're not doing nothing. Several scripts have been completed, and they have all been made into Hollywood movies. ”

"But wouldn't it be too embarrassing if I only got a high Chinese certificate in the end, this is the reason to be ridiculed in the future!" Ning Huan said seriously, "So at least I have to take the entrance examination to Kyoto University, even if you don't cover me in the future, I can also struggle on my own." ”

Shen Zhenghui was a little speechless, "If you had such action in your last life, you wouldn't end up reading three books......

"In order not to repeat the mistakes of the past, of course you have to work hard!" Ning Huan said as a matter of course, "Besides, the conditions are so good now, if I don't do as well as before, it will be really embarrassing." ”

Shen Zhenghui scratched his head, "I think it's better for you to know a little bit of information, Fukuda Hikari still hides a lot of things from me......"

"Okay, you don't have to tell me, I'll be dangerous after I hear it." He waved his hand, "Besides, isn't Mitsumi Fukuda your woman?" You can't even handle your woman, what's the use of telling me? Don't bother me, they're candidates now! ”

Shen Zhenghui also lost interest in discussing the topic of what the world is like with this guy, speaking of which, when he has too little information in his hands, discussing this kind of problem is like setting up a new novel, even if he does it well, when he finally starts writing a novel, he will revise it while writing.

"Can't you just use your imagination and think about why that Englishman would want to form such a thing as a PMC?"

"PMC, what's that?"

"It's a legitimate mercenary company."

"Ha, isn't that obvious, Taizu said, 'Power comes out of the barrel of a gun.'" Ning Huan said as a matter of course, "Isn't it clear what this guy wants to do if he wants to master the armed forces?" ”

"The place where he is is in England, not Somalia, even if it is Somalia, it is not a place where mercenary companies can launch a military coup and come to power themselves, right?"

"You don't have to come to power yourself, you can support an agent." Ning Huan's answer was a little thoughtless, "Isn't there a lot of things that are good to do when you master the force?" For example, an assassination, an open killing, and so on. ”

"Ah......" Shen Zhenghui touched his chin. In that case, the other bigwigs should be more worried than me. ”

"Yes," Ning Huan still looked unthinking, "The super-rich must have their own armed forces, usually bodyguards, if they want to expand." You can only go to the security company yourself, and then expand it to the PMC you are talking about, if they really have so much dirty work to do. ”

Shen Zhenghui fell into deep thought.

"Speaking of which, I think your wife may secretly have assassins or something......"

"She's not my wife, and we didn't register our marriage." Shen Zhenghui, who was interrupted from his train of thought, replied angrily.

"So what do you call her? The mother of the daughter? Ning Huan pouted, "Speaking of which, you should complain about these things with her, why did you come to me if you have nothing to do?" You still have so many lovers! ”

"It's a girlfriend!" Shen Zhenghui corrected, "I obviously can't talk about this with them, that is, you can talk about this." ”

"It seems that you don't have a very close relationship with your daughter's mother," Ning Huan said with a slight mockery. "It's because of your love...... Is it because you have too many girlfriends? Then he asked a little excitedly, "Have you almost done the unspoken rules of female stars in the Japanese entertainment industry?" ”

"I don't do this kind of thing because my eggs hurt." Shen Zhenghui replied angrily.

"That's not necessarily, your starting point is much higher than mine," Ning Huan said, "And I've also seen gossip magazines and weekly reports on your scandal, Aonuma Tomoaka and Fujiwara Norika or something, and Queen Tianhai, you are really ......" Ning Huan shook his head. I don't know if the expression is envy or jealousy.

"I have nothing to do with the next two," Shen Zhenghui patted the table. "Besides, I'm so busy with work, how can I have that thought."

"So Tomoaki Aonuma is sure?"

"I said you ......"

"Have you ever seen The Wolf of Wall Street, and maybe you called the heroine ......out in your director's office during a break in filming?"

"Enough, your talent should actually be used to shoot romantic action movies, it's really wronged for you to be a TV series and film director, and we also have cooperation with romantic action film companies. Otherwise, I recommend you to go there as a screenwriter! ”

Ning Huan made an expectant expression, "Speaking of which, I'm really interested in trying it, it seems that almost all the female stars I know have begun to debut." ”

Faced with a friend like himself, Shen Zhenghui had no choice but to be speechless.

……

"So you're going to the U.S. soon?" Liu Xin, who was eating with Shen Zhenghui, put down his chopsticks. Slightly sad, he said, "I thought you would be able to stay a little longer this time." ”

"I'm not going to make movies, I'm mainly doing publicity." Shen Zhenghui said, "Then I'll be back soon." ”

"Yes," Liu Xin lowered her head and continued to eat, "and then started making movies again, and started doing propaganda again, and the cycle continued." ”

Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.

"Forget it, I'm used to it anyway," Liu Xin shrugged her shoulders, "I'm also a bunch of things myself, and I have to encourage employees every day, lest they feel that our company is not profitable and worry about their future." ”

"Will there ever be such a thing?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"Of course," Liu Xin said, "GONZO's return to TV animation is a big deal in the industry, and many of the cartoons that were originally booked for us have been canceled and decided to do it themselves." Liu Xin's eyes widened, "Although we are not worried about not being alive now, but if it is not for Sister Guangmei's care, we are really not sure that the TV station will buy our animation to play." ”

"Really?"

"A lot of people have been in Japan for a long time and want to go back to their home countries." Liu Xin continued, "But when they go back to China, they don't have a job that meets their status, you must know that many people have been raised and disdain to make young cartoons." ”

"Aha!" Shen Zhenghui patted his head, there are too many things now, and he doesn't have the heart to care about many things.

"Many of my colleagues who left the company complained to me," she said, staring at Shen Zhenghui, "can't your companies just make a little bit of adult-oriented cartoons?" ”

"You mean otaku, right?"

"It's not toddlers anyway." Liu Xin said, and then she added, "It would be better if it was a work like "The Legend of Wukong". ”

"The Legend of Wukong" ......" Shen Zhenghui put down his chopsticks, "There are indeed many secondary two in this world, but not every work written by secondary two can be successful in the end." ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Xin turned his face sideways and stared at Shen Zhenghui.

"It's hard to say whether the monkey will be able to write the same level in the future! Besides, it's not a simple matter of works, you know, a lot of Chinese-themed works can't be released when they come out, so this time we chose a work like "The Magic Apprentice" to test the waters. Shen Zhenghui leaned back in his chair, "The response in Japan is not very good, but the response in Europe is good, and with the United States, we are looking for new markets." ”

"I think you should go back to developing the Chinese market," Liu Xin was slightly excited, "Shanghai Fortress and The Legend of Wukong are already good starts." ”

"The Chinese market is not big enough right now." Shen Zhenghui said calmly, "Actually, we are developing the Chinese market, what do you think the starting point Chinese network does?" ”

"And how long will it take?" Liu Xin is very depressed.

"It will take about three or four years to see the development of the market," Shen Zhenghui sensed that something was wrong, "When we come back, we will discuss this issue well, and then we will go back to the mainland to investigate the industrial situation." ”

Such a promise finally appeased Liu Xin, but Shen Zhenghui's troubles were one more basket.
