Chapter 251: I Didn't Take It Seriously
When it comes to Hollywood's pai duì, I'm afraid there will be many people with green eyes shining, because in LA, Hollywood not only represents a glamorous star lineup, but also represents various scandals that have been rumored to be countless unbelievable legends. A magazine in the United States described Hollywood's pie duì as a shortcut to heaven for the unfamous, and everyone who is not a star pays a lot of money to dress up while thinking about who-do-you-have-to-fack-to-get-a-break-in-this-town?
That's right, that's the headline on the page of the Rice Magazine, and the headline is a Hollywood scene, with pictures of men and women in suits and leather shoes by the pool, and seductive at night.
There are a lot of things that go beyond this in Hollywood, which basically means that no matter whether you are male or female, or what your sexuality-orientation is, you must always be ready to make anyone who is making a career feel happy and interesting in private.
You read that right, these people still exist today when they have been completely formalized, and it's really hard to say whether they are special or not.
There is an example of why this phenomenon exists, Jack Clermont was very excited when he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in "Mr. Roberts", and he happily went to New York to tell his acting teacher, in the classroom, the teacher pointed to the younger students who looked at him with envy and said, "These people may play this role no less than you, and the most important difference between you and them is that you got this opportunity." They don't. β
In a word, it is true.
This is also the reason why η±³ε½magazine dared to use who-do-you-have-to-fack-to-get-a-break-in-this-town as the headline, because the sentence means 'Who do I sleep with to open the breakthrough of this circle?' βγ
Of course, this is a shortcut for low-level actors. There are really no such things on the boot party after the launch press conference of "The Expendables", it's just that this faction is also very messy, and all kinds of beauties are dizzying, even Stallone doesn't know how these beauties came in, because he didn't invite so many people. Today's invitees are all the crew members who will participate in the filming and the people in the company who have affirmed this drama.
Shao Yingying sat with Li Lianjie by the pool with a glass of champagne, and at night, only the two of them with similar skin colors were rarely harassed by the beauties here. As for Stallone, Arnold, Bruce Willis, and Jason Statham, they are almost all about to make the beauties call. You can't hide from it.
"I've also driven a boot school in Hollywood, why haven't I encountered this kind of scene?" Shao Yingying asked at Li Lianjie.
Li Lianjie's voice was a little hoarse, and he responded: "If you go to Shanghai to have a party under the sign of 'Shao Hero', the effect will be the same." Isn't the point that it's called Hollywood? In this. Shao Yingying and Li Lianjie are not as good as Stallone when they add one name. β
Shao Yingying said: "Really? Why do I think there are so many girls who are targeting you? Why don't you just find a target to talk about and try it, and let me know what kind of impression this Mi country golden silk cat has in his heart about Dongfang. β
Li Lianjie, who heard Shao Yingying joking, smiled bitterly and said: "You spare me, if you let me go over with a whip leg to put down the golden silk cat, I guess I can still do it with my old arms and legs, and it is your young man's business." β
"Shao, Li!"
Stallone was confused, rubbing his eyes as he broke free from the powerful lineup of beauties, shouting as he walked: "WHAT? I'll go over it. β
Seconds later, Stallone was on the edge of the pool. Li Lianjie quipped: "You should find a clever excuse." β
"I'm sorry, I can't think of any more reason to stay here. I originally wanted to ask our crew to have a drink and organize a barbecue party, after all, the official filming will take place the day after tomorrow. β
Stallone thought for a moment and said, "I should fire the person in charge of security tonight." β
Li Lianjie glanced at Stallone and suddenly smiled.
Shao Yingying looked at Li Lianjie and said, "You definitely don't believe in Buddhism." β
"What are you talking about?" Stallone asked without understanding Chinese.
Li Lianjie translated badly: "He said that letting a sixty-three-year-old man face so many beautiful women at one time is simply a murder." β
WHEN STALLONE LOOKED AT SHAO YINGYING, HE STRETCHED OUT HIS HAND: "THANK-YOU." β
Burst.
This time, none of the three of them could hold back, and they laughed collectively by the pool for a moment and coughed straight together, especially Stallone still had a dry cigarette in his hand.
After laughing, Li Lianjie pointed to the black movie star in the distance and said: "I can imagine that when you were young, you must have been like Terry, a master of wandering flowers." β
Teri?
Shao Yingying looked up and followed Li Lianjie's hand to look into the distance, and sure enough, he saw Terry Cruise talking and laughing with a few beautiful women, although there was no over-the-top action, but the radiant state could completely see how proud he was.
"Has he ever acted in "Miss Good White"?"
"Hahaha......" Stallone sat by the pool and buried his head directly in the inside of his elbow on his lap, laughing in a nested posture and laughing, Li Lianjie was also happy, and when Stallone raised his head, he pointed at Shao Yingying and looked at Li Lianjie and said: "Shao is a very humorous guy." β
When Shao Yingying raised his head to see Terry Cruise's radiant appearance in the flowers, and substituted for the performance of "Miss White", he himself laughed, because he always remembered the time when Terry Cruise's character in the restaurant was a sister in a man's disguise...... Well, it's a little too much to think about.
"Alright, alright, you're going to have to let me steady it." Stallone steadied himself and said, "Li, our script has been slightly revised. β
As soon as they got down to business, Shao Yingying and Li Lianjie were all stern. Stallone said imposingly like a big man: "I discussed it with my colleagues and felt that if Li was defeated by 'Duf' at the beginning of the movie, it would break the hearts of Chinese audiences." After all, you are the flag-carrying task of kung fu movies in the hearts of Chinese movie fans. So, Shao, the part we changed is that after we free the hostages, when 'Duff' wants to hang the hostages like an old pirate, you rush up and you are put down by Duff. Questions? β
If this is in China, there is this kind of plot setting in the script, if Shao Yingying's later counterattack is not arranged. If this kind of book can't reach Shao Yingying, it will be excluded from consideration, but this is in Hollywood, and the director makes you lose. You're going to lose.
"No problem." Shao Yingying didn't say anything, what he was thinking about was not the screen image, but: "In this case, will it be ......?"
Stallone didn't let him finish. added: "Don't worry about Lee's role being reduced. This is the moment of character, and Lee will hold a gun to Duf's head like an assassin when Duff puts you down and puts the knife on your neck. β
Li Lianjie exclaimed: "Sylvester, that's your play!" β
Stallone didn't speak, looked at everyone in the villa pool and said, "Jason, Arnold, Duff, Bruce, you are all invited by me, if you want to change the play." I'm not going to let anyone get hurt, and an $82 million investment can put you all together in one movie. I have nothing but gratitude. β
When filming "Very Human Trafficker", Jason Statham's salary was only a pitiful $750,000, and when he filmed "Ranger", it rose to $7 million like Li Lianjie, which was still the price two years ago, and now it must be only high, nearly 10 million is understandable; As for Li Lianjie, he is an actor who is very bought by Hollywood, not only has a certain reputation in the world, but also has a huge fan base in Asia, the salary of these two people is completely normal to kill the "Expendables" crew of about 20 million funds, as for other people, maybe a little less, Arnold and Bruce did not show much face in the first episode of "The Expendables", and the big names who didn't show their faces were more for Stallone's face to play once' King vs. King's action movie King Brawl, so many actors get together, once Stallone wants to change the scene in the script, he can only put a knife on himself, who let him come only after looking at his face?
"What do you think?" Li Lianjie asked Shao Yingying.
Stallone also joked: "He's thinking about his pitiful salary, which is less than two million dollars." β
Shao Yingying boasted without caring at all: "I'm just thinking that if one day my salary is so high that "The Expendables" can't accept it, will Mr. Stallone stop inviting me." β
This can only be said to be a joke in the United States, especially in the current very happy atmosphere, and no one will think that this person is rampant because of a brag, of course, as long as you are not serious, and swear through gritted teeth.
"Hey, listen." Stallone spoke: "As long as one day I can't afford to invite you......"
Li Lianjie immediately got up and said, "How is it?" β
"I'll act for you, don't care if I'm 70 or 80 years old at the time, even if I'm lying on a hospital bed, I can play a vegetative person, even if I go to the grave, my photo is willing to become a shot in your movie."
Li Lianjie glanced left and right, and when he saw that these two men said these two sentences in a not very serious tone at the same time, he couldn't tell what was going on right now: "Hey, hey, hey, you two don't want me to be a witness to a great Hollywood legend, do you?" I can't do something so stylish. β
"Deal!"
Shao Yingying stretched out his wine glass, I don't know why he felt that Stallone seemed to be deliberately fierce about him, maybe his state was a little embarrassing among the many shining movie stars in Hollywood, or it could be that Stallone invited him to participate in this play with such a low salary He really felt embarrassed, and had to encourage him two sentences, anyway, at this time he had to answer two sentences, even if it was to show respect.
"Deal."
The two hands were clasped together, and the two men looked at each other as the long-legged warblers passed by the pool.
Li Lianjie raised his hand in surrender and said, "I didn't take it seriously." (To be continued......)
