Chapter 233: Entering the United States for the First Time

There is enough to do before going to the United States, first of all, publicity: not only to promote that Shen Zhenghui, China's number one commercial director, is going to Hollywood, but also to promote in Japan that Mr. Sasaki, a famous Japanese commercial film director, will go to the American Exhibition and be invited to Hollywood to shoot a film -- possibly using Japanese actors. $(). ()(x). For the Japanese, the latter sentence is what attracts their attention.

Create a momentum in publicity, which can also put some pressure on the other side, and if something happens, you can get the embassy to come forward. Even so, Shen Zhenghui still went with the mood of being sluggish and cold, originally Fukuda Mitsumi told him that he had arranged bodyguards, and he thought it was the gang of men in black last year, but going out like this is quite like the boss of the Japanese underworld, although there is a suspicion of smearing the title of China's international director. But who knew that when he packed his bags, it was Fujitang Xiangcheng who came to pick him up.

That's a bit excessive, I'm going to the United States! If it's the world of "The King of Fighters" or "Fist of the Dragon and Tiger", she is a good bodyguard, no, maybe that kind of world is more reliable to exercise her ability than to have a bodyguard, but what does it mean to let such a woman accompany her to the United States at the moment?

"Haven't you been filming lately?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"Filming is really boring, and it may be more interesting to go to the United States with you." Fujido Xiangcheng looked excited.

Nonsense, was you so excited to be an actress all the time? Now it's boring to say acting. But it's also true, when an actress keeps filming TV series, she can't save any money. It's better to be a bodyguard.

Shen Zhenghui turned his head to look at Mitsumi Fukuda, "What do you mean?" ”

"She's professional." Fukuda Mitsumi said simply, "Besides, in other people's territory, no matter how many bodyguards there are, it's in vain, it's better to bring a female bodyguard generously, so that the other party is not too embarrassed to start." ”

No way? Are you sure you're not helping the other person to make a decision?

"I'm sure!" Mitsumi Fukuda was very impatient, "We have already greeted the Japanese consulate, don't worry." Colombia also has guarantees, doesn't it? ”

Guarantees for Americans? Marshall's assurances were just that. Shen Zhenghui felt that he had a very depressed feeling.

But when Liu Xin also came to see him off, he stopped complaining about this.

Fujido Xiangcheng is such a female bodyguard - especially since she is not dressed as a bodyguard, but like an actress who followed Shen Zhenghui to the United States. made Liu Xin very sideways. "This is the actress you're going to bring to America?"

"It's a bodyguard." Shen Zhenghui emphasized.

Liu Xin glanced at it again. "Don't lie to me." She said, "I know. She pursed her lips.

Shen Zhenghui was very embarrassed, after returning to Japan this time, he didn't get along with Liu Xin for a few days, and the two sides fell into their own work again. Plus the embarrassment of having outsiders present. For a while, I didn't know what to say.

"A woman must be filmed to follow him." Mitsumi Fukuda said, "Otherwise, he will fall into the fat fan circle of Hollywood female stars, if you send a man." Maybe you'll be in the same league as him. Mitsumi Fukuda seemed to be serious and joking, which made Liu Xin laugh.

Liu Xin glanced at Fujitang Xiangcheng again, which made Fujitang Xiangcheng very cramped. Liu Xin straightened Shen Zhenghui's clothes again and patted him on the shoulder, "Come on, I'll wait for you to come back." ”

"I'll do my best."

"Not soon," Mitsumi Fukuda said, "if you're going to stay in the U.S. to film, at least come back before that." ”

"How can it be so fast."

"Looking at the attitude of Colombia, their enthusiasm for you is not ordinary." Mitsumi Fukuda means something.

The group was sent to the airport, and Ling, who was already able to speak, was silent, looking at Shen Zhenghui's expression as if he was looking at some kind of animal, in the VIP waiting room of the airport, Shen Zhenghui saw that the people who sent him were women, and he had the illusion that he was an Arab sheikh.

"Can I hug Ling?" Shen Zhenghui asked Mitsumi Fukuda.

Mitsumi Fukuda gave Catherine a look, so Ling was hugged in front of Shen Zhenghui.

The two-year-old Ling looks very cute from the outside, if it weren't for the cold expression, it would be a cute thing. Shen Zhenghui felt that his heart was a little soft.

"Ling, dad hug." He said to Ling, reaching out and trying to take her from Catherine's arms.

didn't cry, Ling calmly got into Shen Zhenghui's arms.

"Your father and mother said they wanted to come and see Ling, but they haven't made the trip until now." Mitsumi Fukuda said with emotion, "I thought they really valued Ling!" ”

"They're really busy, but you see they still call a lot, and they often video call, don't they?" Shen Zhenghui argued.

Liu Xin smiled on the side and didn't speak.

Shen Zhenghui looked at Ling, "Ling, call Dad!" ”

The little girl in her arms rolled her eyes and covered her face.

"I'm sorry yet." Shen Zhenghui smiled.

"It's probably a shame." Mitsumi Fukuda said, "I think you're ashamed!" ”

"Why?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"You're not married," Ling pouted, "you're not my father!" ”

The parent-child farce ended in embarrassment, and Shen Zhenghui stayed cramped in the VIP waiting room for a while, and then rushed to register.

Looking at his back, Mitsumi Fukuda turned her head and stared at Liu Xin, "Did you teach Ling this?" ”

"What do you say?" Liu Xin turned his face away, "This is Ling Smart." ”

Fortunately, Ling was already curled up in Catherine's arms and fell asleep at this time, and Fukuda Mitsumi couldn't wake her up to confront her, so she had to pout, "Think carefully!" ”

……

Flying across the ocean is also a physical challenge for people, and Shen Zhenghui slept dimly as soon as he got on the plane, and he took the plane. He was very tired, and he felt embarrassed to face Fujido Xiangcheng. The service of the first-class flight attendant was quite enthusiastic, and Fujido Xiangcheng was full of excitement at first, and after tossing for a long time, he also fell asleep, after all, he had to face the jet lag of adjustment. Fortunately, there was no one who recognized Shen Zhenghui on this plane, and I don't know if he should be happy or sad.

In the middle, Shen Zhenghui and Fujido Xiangcheng woke up at the same time, and when they were bored, Shen Zhenghui asked Fujitang Xiangcheng, "Since you are already an actress, why don't you continue to do it?" ”

"It's more fun to make kung fu movies. I love it too. Fujido replied. But other types of films are really boring to shoot, and the director is constantly critical of expressions, movements, etc., I just want to make kung fu movies, but ......" she paused.

"But what?" Shen Zhenghui continued to ask.

"Some kung fu movies aren't interesting. The director is not very serious either. Fujitang Xiangcheng looked at Shen Zhenghui's expression and continued. It would be nice if they were all filming like "Black Fist". ”

No wonder you don't have the heart to film. all filmed scenes like "Black Fist", and such standards cut 9o% of the world's action movies.

"I've also watched the new film made by your compatriot, Director Zhang," Fujido continued. "Action movies shouldn't be shot like that!" She complained a little, "That's basically acting, it's not an action movie at all." ”

"This is a new way of thinking," Shen Zhenghui did not have the heart to debate with her, and director Zhang's action films have different opinions, "expanding the subject matter and technique of action movies." ”

"I don't understand the reason, but I really don't like that kind of fight." Fujido Kazuki held her chin, "Martial artists aren't like that. It's a shame that I like Jett Lee so much. ”

The standard of a martial artist? Shen Zhenghui touched his chin, thinking that he had forgotten to talk to Miyamoto and Mushroom this time. But then he put these things to the back of his mind, ate dinner, and went back to sleep to replenish his energy.

After getting off the plane, Thomas personally came to greet him as a representative of the Colombian executives, and sent Shen Zhenghui and Fujitang Xiangcheng to the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. In the hotel, not only Thomas, a high-level representative, but also several high-level executives from Colombia were present, and Shen Zhenghui felt that this was probably regarded as a representative of Spring, and at the same time as a weapon to open up the Chinese market. Of course, the presence of so many high-level officials seems to just show an attitude of importance, and everyone is mainly exchanging feelings together. What we say here is that we attach great importance to the cooperation with Haruhi and Mr. Shen Zhenghui personally, and I admire Mr. Shen Zhenghui's achievements b1ab1a and so on, and Shen Zhenghui is humble here.

Amy? Pascal, a well-known Hollywood producer who still has charm and is at the helm of Columbia, said that Mr. Thomas will be in charge of the affairs of Mr. Shen Zhenghui's visit to Hollywood, and she expressed her joy that Shen Zhenghui can come to the United States and is very confident in the future cooperation.

Shen Zhenghui could feel Mr. Thomas's high emotions on the scene, as if he were a proud rooster. He modestly attributes his praise to the cooperation of his colleagues, but no one can misunderstand his inner pride. Shen Zhenghui even felt that he had become a prop for the office of Columbia, maybe Mr. Thomas wanted to use his performance to get to the top!

However, it was not too early, and the senior management of Colombia said goodbye after a few more greetings, and Thomas finally left, and communicated about the itinerary and other things. Shen Zhenghui slept too much on the plane, but now he has no sleepiness. However, the food he ate on the plane had been digested, so he was a little hungry and ordered a guest room meal with Fujido Xiangcheng.

Probably because Fujitang Xiangcheng, who lived next door, felt that it was very lonely to dine alone, so he came over and joined Shen Zhenghui, and the two of them ordered a large table of meals. The good news is that Hilton won't be just American Hamburg.

"This room is too big," said Fujido Kazuki, "isn't it expensive?" ”

"Yes, it's very expensive, and it's very expensive even with meals, didn't you just see the price list?" Shen Zhenghui was careless.

"You don't need us to pay, do you?" Fujido Kazuki thought for a moment and asked.

"You're too late to ask, if you had asked earlier, we could have gone out for a meal at KFC or Burger King." Shen Zhenghui grimaced at her.

When Fujitang Xiangcheng was still worried, Shen Zhenghui said to her, "Don't worry, they pay for it." He blinked, "You have to believe that for Sony, it's nothing." ”

"Sony is awesome! ~" Fujido said as he forked the spaghetti.

Shen Zhenghui remembered another sentence: Sony's crime is heinous. The people complained. It's really the right time, so in the future, Sony's nickname will be called Suo Monstrous.

This kind of joke is probably incomprehensible, so Shen Zhenghui can only stuff it in his stomach.

After a night of silence, Shen Zhenghui also made a phone call with Liu Xin and Fukuda Guangmei, and by the way, he hung up a phone call for his father, Shen Xingguo heard that his son was in Hollywood, USA, and was a little surprised, "Are you really going to Hollywood to make a movie?" ”

"If you can, give it a try." Shen Zhenghui replied vaguely.

Shen Xingguo was even more excited than Shen Zhenghui on the other end of the phone, "This." You're going to have to do it. Don't disgrace us Chinese. ”

Liang Kexiu, who was next to him, grabbed the phone and taught him, "Don't look for women in the United States, I heard that there are many women with AIDS over there." ”

Shen Zhenghui felt that his mother's focus was really different.

……

Early the next morning, Thomas came to accompany Shen Zhenghui to breakfast. Today's itinerary is very simple. Thomas will take Shen Zhenghui to visit the Columbia company. Go to a few sets at the same time to give him a preliminary understanding of the process of making films in the United States. Shen Zhenghui is not worried about this, he will definitely have a group of assistant directors under him at that time. But it's not a bad thing to know more about yourself. So accompanied by Mr. Thomas, Shen Zhenghui swept through Columbia and major studios like a big man.

His yellow appearance is really eye-catching, and with Thomas on the side, it is simply too conspicuous. In Columbia and Amy? After Pascal greeted him politely, Thomas took him to several sets. So the paparazzi around the set were shocked to see a yellow man on the set of several popular movies accompanied by the vice president of Columbia, and also pointed fingers at Thomas. The idea of Sony's airborne high-level to Colombia suddenly rose in their minds. Regardless of 3721, the paparazzi pressed the shutter one after another, and after the magazine checked Shen Zhenghui's identity, this was also a big news for Hollywood.

The actors are also sensitive, Shen Zhenghui saw with his own eyes that a female star who was resting on the side came to greet Thomas, and by the way, he inquired about Shen Zhenghui's identity, Caucasian people have some face blindness to yellow people, and they can't recognize people. Thomas and Shen Zhenghui had no intention of hiding their identities, and after generously admitting their identities, the female star's eyes lit up, and then soon the news spread in the circle.

The ace director of commercial films in Asia, the director of "Black Fist", appeared in Colombia, and it seemed that Colombia was going to let him shoot a kung fu movie.

These Hollywood stars, who may not be able to understand China and Japan, see great opportunities from such news. Since the hit of "The Matrix" in 1999, Chinese kung fu has become popular in Hollywood as an important element due to the popularity of movie fans. Action movies such as "Breaking Bad" were released, but Hollywood was still limited by culture and could not better combine kung fu elements with American films, so the success of "Black Fist" and "The Green Hornet" made many film companies begin to play the abacus of Asian directors. In particular, the box office victories of "Wind Forest High School", "Black Fist" and "Black Fist 2" in the North American market made Shen Zhenghui's name completely launched in Hollywood. People who pay a little attention to Shen Zhenghui are shocked to see that there is no movie that this guy shoots that is not profitable, such a person is naturally more favored by the film company, and Columbia's enthusiasm is of course also sincere.

While watching Thomas, he also introduced the situation to Shen Zhenghui, "The results of "Ryoko Yakushiji Strange Incident Book" are actually okay, but compared with your previous results and the box office in Europe, it looks a little bad, but in fact, this box office is quite good." In addition, "Shanghai Fortress" is also in the film schedule, and we have spent a lot of effort to promote the film, and I believe you can see its box office results with your own eyes. By the way, don't you really think about making a movie like "Fort New York"? ”

"Well, we can talk about it slowly." Shen Zhenghui shrugged his shoulders, "I also have to think about what themes and techniques the North American audience likes, of course, you will need to check it when the time comes." ”

"A director like you doesn't need to be checked at all." Thomas made a joke, "We'll just hand over the money to you." ”

"Isn't it a zuò person?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically.

Thomas laughed.

"Mr. Thomas, there is a bit of a budget problem here, can you please take a look?" A crew member came over with a stack of forms, Thomas said sorry to Shen Zhenghui, walked over, and asked Shen Zhenghui to read it casually by himself.

Shen Zhenghui nodded, and at this time, an actress approached Shen Zhenghui, "Director Shen? ”

Shen Zhenghui, who suddenly heard Chinese, turned around in some surprise, and now he was not a stranger, but Liu Yuling, who was also a yellow race.

"Yo, you're actually in this crew?"

"You know me?" The other party seemed happy.

"I've watched 'Breaking Bad.'"

"What do you think?" The other party looked excited.

"It was a lot of fun." Shen Zhenghui said.

Lucy Liu heard the hidden taste of contempt from these words, but she didn't care about it in her expression, ""Breaking Bads 2" will be released soon. ”

"Oh......" Shen Zhenghui snorted.

"Are you going to Hollywood to film?"

"I'm just coming to see." Shen Zhenghui shrugged his shoulders.

"That's the actress you brought here?" Liu Yuling looked at the Fujitang Xiangcheng not far away, and looked vigilantly at this side.

"She used to be an actress, but now she's a bodyguard." Shen Zhenghui spread out his hand.

"Oh, really?" Lucy Liu didn't continue to ask what movies Fujido Xiangcheng had acted in, "This is my business card," she handed over a small piece of paper, "It's a great pleasure to meet your compatriot here." She said, then lowering her voice again, "If you're thinking about an action movie actress, think about me." ”

Shen Zhenghui accepted the business card and smiled at her, "I will." ”

He still doesn't learn the skill of opening his eyes and telling nonsense at any time. (To be continued!)
