In fact, it's not that Japanese actresses can't meet the requirements for playing this role, Spielberg doesn't want this film to be made with a pure Japanese flavor at all, he wants to shoot a Hollywood-style national drama, so the aesthetics or something must be closer to the Americans, if Japanese actors are completely used to make a Japanese-style drama, then what's the point? Is the North American box office still going to be done?

So although it was complained that a Chinese woman who was not a Japanese woman was used to play the three heroines, Spielberg's consideration was correct in terms of a certain Cheng dù, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi and Yang Ziqiong were all actresses with world prestige at that time, if you get a few Japanese female stars that American audiences don't know at all, how many people can watch this film? How many Americans can distinguish between the Japanese and the Chinese?

But at the moment, Spielberg doesn't seem to be thinking about de-Japaneseization so thoroughly, and he is still considering leaving one of the three heroines for a Japanese actress, according to the producer's way of thinking, this Japanese actress had better be world-famous, and in comparison, Tomoaki Aonuma is barely qualified.

Spielberg directly mentioned the candidate of Tomoaki Aonuma to Shen Zhenghui, which shows that he has an understanding of the relationship between Tomoaki Aonuma and Shen Zhenghui. Of course, this is not to say that director Spielberg is familiar with the entertainment gossip of the Japanese film and television industry, but because Tomoaki Aonuma's agency is Queens, which is almost a subsidiary of Kasuga, and similarly, Zhou Xingxing's "Green Hornet" was invested and filmed by Kasuga, and Shen Zhenghui is the shareholder and director of Kasuga. What's more, he raised it in this way of inquiry, as if he didn't know the relationship between Shen Zhenghui and Aonuma Tomoaki at all.

"I've worked with her, but that was a long time ago." Shen Zhenghui shrugged his shoulders, "I think she is a good actor and diligent enough, but whether it meets your requirements or not, you still have to decide for yourself after watching it." ”

Fujido Xiangcheng almost couldn't help pinching Shen Zhenghui's arm when she heard Shen Zhenghui's words, according to her thoughts, Shen Zhenghui should take the initiative to recommend Aonuma Tomoaki to Spielberg at this time, instead of saying such simple words so lightly, although it sounded like he was saying good things about Aonuma Tomoaki. But that's not enough!

Spielberg's gaze swept over Kasumi Fujido, who was standing aside. From the excited and excited expression, it can be confirmed that she understands English, and at the same time, it seems that she is also a Japanese woman, so director Spielberg tentatively asked, "Is this young lady also an actress?" ”

"Oh." Shen Zhenghui tilted his head. "She's an action actress. Kung fu. Shen Zhenghui emphasized it again, and also made a fist clenching movement.

Shen Zhenghui didn't say more, but Spielberg already understood what he meant. The acting path of kung fu female stars is generally very narrow, and if you want to play the female geisha you need, you will definitely not meet the standard.

But Lucas, who was beside him, was very interested, "Kung Fu? He took a closer look at Fujido Kasumi, and couldn't believe that such a sven and cute-looking girl would be a kung fu female star. So he asked, with an obviously mocking expression, "Really?" ”

This kind of ridicule was passed on to Fujido Kasumi, and Shen Zhenghui deliberately gave her an equally mocking expression by the way, and this little girl who regarded herself as a martial artist was looked down upon by the big people for a while, and suddenly stimulated her competitive spirit.

She took two steps back, her feet suddenly exerted force, she stood in place and leaned forward, and the whole person suddenly flipped to Shen Zhenghui's side, standing steadily, not caring at all that her feet were actually high heels.

Her actions naturally made a huge noise, and the people around her, who were originally paying attention to the conversation between the two top directors and a new director, also saw this incredible scene, and many people exclaimed. Fujido Kasumi completed such a difficult action so lightly that Spielberg and Lucas also opened their mouths, you know, if you support the ground with your hands to do a forward roll to stand firm, it is not difficult to stand firm, and ordinary people who are strong and have a better sense of balance can also do it, but this kind of front flip that purely relies on the strength of the waist and abdomen is actually completed so smoothly, and she is wearing high heels, which surprised many people. At least Ken Watanabe and Shin Koyamada saw this scene and walked over in surprise.

The other guests also came over and began to look at Fujido Kasumi up close with surprise and admiration, and Ken Watanabe and Koyamada really said a few words to her because they were Fujido Kasumi's compatriots. Fujido Kasumi, who was surrounded by praise, was a little embarrassed at this time.

"Wow, you're awesome!" "Steven," a middle-aged lady with an extraordinary temperament said, "are you going to let her play a role in your new film?" ”

"Ma'am, can I ask you to be my fitness instructor? Just let me do what you just did. ”

“……”

For a while, Fujido Kasumi was a little overwhelmed by the onlookers, Spielberg even applauded, he looked at Shen Zhenghui, "Are you going to shoot such an action movie in Hollywood?" ”

Shen Zhenghui shrugged, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

"I think you should try it, I love your action movies." He shook his fist too.

Another gentleman next to him, Shen Zhenghui felt that he seemed to be Will? Smith or Denzel? Washington, "Hey, buddy. He said, "You're the Chinese director who is very good at action movies?" Have you considered using me as the main character? I like kung fu movies the most! ”

Well, this must be Will? Smith.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Tom? Cruise reappeared in front of everyone as the owner in a formal suit, and this guy actually went in and changed his clothes again.

"Hey, is there anything exciting going on?"

"Hey, Tom, you should have come out early so you can see such a chick doing kung fu." Will? Smith's expressions and movements are very exaggerated.

"This is Director Shen from China, everyone can call him John." Tom Cruise, as the host, officially introduced Shen Zhenghui to everyone, "He has made a lot of kung fu movies, and now he will show his strength in Hollywood, let's welcome him." ”

The guests were invited to start applauding.

Shen Zhenghui bowed around to express his gratitude, "Thank you, I'm grateful that Hollywood can tolerate me." ”

"It's a place where the world is inclusive." Thomas said from the side.

His accosting caused a wave of admiration, and then Tom? Cruise raised his glass, "I hope you all have a great night." ”

The food, drinks, and alcohol in the buffet had been put away, and everyone dispersed again in twos and threes, and began to look for people they were interested in to talk to.

Several people surrounded Shen Zhenghui. One of the tall, middle-aged men took the initiative to come up. "Mr. Shen," he said, "I'm Edward of Warners, and we're very interested in your upcoming film. ”

That's still a no-brainer! Shen Zhenghui said in his heart. I already took the business card handed over by the other party.

"Hey. Edward. You can't do this. Thomas walked over, "Mr. Shen is our best partner in Colombia. ”

"Hey, Thomas. The United States is a free and inclusive world, and I think it's normal to make a movie to reduce the risk sometimes. He said, and then he continued to ask Shen Zhenghui, "Mr. Shen, what is the budget for your new film?" ”

"Just call me John." Shen Zhenghui spread his hands, "I'm sorry, my new film is still under consideration." ”

"Thomas, we can consider co-publishing." Edward said to Thomas.

"Why don't we talk too?" "Thomas," he said, "I have to say that you have an eye for oriental cinema." ”

Thomas didn't let go of the man's admiration, and he looked vigilant, "Adam, is Universal going to be involved too?" ”

Shen Zhenghui didn't want to be fought over by these producers, sorry, and walked away with Fujido Xiangcheng, at this time, several female stars came up to hand over business cards, and what they said was nothing more than that if there is a suitable role, please consider me, who am I. I don't know how they got in, but at least they were very reserved.

"Interested in discussing the future of cinema?" Spielberg and Lucas extended an invitation to Shen Zhenghui.

"I can't ask for it." Shen Zhenghui replied.

There are also no new topics for these two, and what they discuss is nothing more than stories and stunts. Lucas believes that stunts will become more and more important in the future direction of film development, and will become the mainstream of commercial films. Spielberg doesn't deny this, but he emphasizes that the story of the film is still important. In the end, Shen Zhenghui even felt that the two of them were just trying to satisfy their own debating habits, so he deliberately pulled himself over.

"John, what do you think?" Lucas asked, "Your most successful film, Shanghai Fortress, has just broken the box office record in China, surpassing Cameron in China, thanks to its shocking war stunt shots?" ”

"Until then, my story has to satisfy the audience and not make them feel overwhelmed."

"So you're rooting for me?" Spielberg said with a smile.

"No matter how well I tell a story, if the camera doesn't achieve a stunning visual effect, it will only make people feel like I'm playing at home. After all, film is a visual art. ”

"Are you a compromise?"

"No, I mean that the same level of story is compared to the visuals, and the same visual effects are compared to the story, which obviously can't be wasted."

"You're still rooting for me." Spielberg asserted.

Lucas was clearly unconvinced, "Can you give an example?" ”

"'Titanic' and 'Shanghai Fortress'." Shen Zhenghui said simply.

Spielberg laughed.

Lucas smiled too, "You're saying your story is better than Cameron's." ”

"I think in China, yes."

"There's a new topic, culture." Spielberg said.

"I don't think it's a problem," Lucas said.

"Alright, you can't make Star Wars accessible to Africans." Spielberg said.

"They can obviously read it, but they just can't see it." Lucas has a hard mouth.

"I'm really looking forward to the results of Ryoko Yakushiji's Strange Events in North America, you know, it just set a box office record for a Japanese live-action film in Japan."

"You're supporting me again!" Spielberg laughed again.

Watching Shen Zhenghui and Hollywood's two top directors talk happily that night, many people's eyes were shining. All of a sudden, Thomas faced more affection and lobbying, and many stars hoped to be favored by Mr. Thomas or Mr. Shen Zhenghui to join Mr. Shen Zhenghui's film crew. Considering that Mr. Shen Zhenghui has just arrived in Hollywood, he is not familiar with it. A lot of the casting work may be entrusted directly to Colombia, so the Colombian company is under a lot of pressure for a while. Including peers, they also want to get a foot in this project that has not yet been determined.

Amy? Pascal made a special request to Thomas at a regular meeting - he must implement the film that Shen Zhenghui wants to shoot as much as possible.

For a moment, Thomas was in pain and happy. (To be continued......)
