"Movie, ......"

Xiahou Zhongying was a little hesitant in her heart, thinking that she had been in trouble recently, her father had an accident, and the woman's problem had not been dealt with well, and her life had become a mess, and she really couldn't put too much thought into the movie. If you direct in this state, the quality of the film is likely to be lowered by a notch.

In addition, he still has to go to school, and yesterday there was news from China that he was secretly responsible for the ties and development of pro-China forces in the South Korean government. However, after his father's accident, he was very disgusted with politics from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want to get involved in it anymore, so he refused without thinking about it.

It's just that in the evening, Li Wending and Yu Xianguo called him separately, and hoped that he could agree. Now his father's affairs have taken a turn for the better, but he hasn't come out yet, and he still needs the help of the two families, so it's not easy to refuse the request of the two. Although he used to think about it at the time, it is estimated that he still had to accept it in the end.

After thinking about it silently for a while, Xiahou Zhongying finally decided to put the movie down for the time being, and said to Jiang Wenying: "Find another director." ”

"President, are you reconsidering?" Jiang Wenying persuaded.

With the hot scenes and more and more positive reviews during the trial screening of "Juno", Xiahou Zhongying's fame has also grown, and many people have begun to classify him as a first-line Hollywood director. It's just that he didn't direct a movie until he went to Hollywood, and he didn't win any heavyweight trophies, so there are still many people who don't agree with this classification.

Regardless, it's an indisputable fact that his influence in Hollywood has grown. If he takes advantage of the limelight of "Juno" to announce his shooting plan for the next movie, it is equivalent to doing a free promotion for the film "Twilight" that the company will invest in filming, and the benefits to ZX Group are naturally self-evident.

If Xiahou Zhongying gives up directing, ZX Group will have to choose a new director. But if you want to invite a director whose fame and influence are not lower than Xiahou Zhongying, the price that ZX Group needs to pay is definitely not low, and the effect is not necessarily as good as that of Xiahou Zhongying, a freak. Fame aside, Xiahou Zhongying himself is an extremely eye-catching outlier, even his lace news can add a lot of luster and popularity to the ZX Group he owns.

Jiang Wenying only thinks about the company, and for the development of the company, she doesn't even want her husband. She is naturally unwilling to give up Xiahou Zhongying, the best choice for ZX Group and "Twilight" and does not cost money. She also heard about Xiahou Shang. She knew that a large part of the reason why President Lun Dao gave up directing was because of this incident, but it was not in her consideration. The decision of where to sit is naturally different, and the position she sits in is destined to be for the benefit of the company, and she does not need to consider Xiahou Zhongying's mood.

Stephanie was also on hand to help persuade her. The reason why she gave up the more famous Summit Entertainment and sold the script to the ZX Group. It is because of the existence of Xiahou Zhongying. Now he said that he would give up, and she was naturally not happy.

Ashley joins in the persuasion. For her, she has worked with one. And it is always much better to work with a director who gets along well than with an unfamiliar director. And she also highly recognizes Xiahou Zhongying's level, thinking that his level is not below any Hollywood director.

Three women in one play, the three girls chattered so noisy that Xiahou Zhongying was dizzy and annoyed, and finally had to smile helplessly and agree to continue directing. However, the shooting date has to be postponed because he is really not in the mood right now. The third daughter has no opinion on this.

On December 25, Christmas, "Juno" began to be officially released in major theaters in the United States. And after the day of its release, "Juno" has already grossed more than the budget of $6.5 million. It has only been 20 days since the movie was released, and there are 19 days left for small-scale test screenings in dozens of theaters, and it can achieve this box office result, which naturally makes ZX Group excited.

Taking advantage of "Juno", on December 26, ZX Group sent a message to the media, announcing that the company would invest in the filming of "Juno". Mel's best-selling book "Twilight" is adapted, the film "Twilight" directed by Xiahou Zhongying, and the actor audition is conducted.

On the evening of December 30, Xiahou Mountain House.

After the official full release of "Juno", the continued hot box office results gave Brad Pitt an excuse to take the family and gather a group of Hollywood big-name movie stars to run to Xiahou Mountain Mansion to eat, which is called "celebration".

"I regret not being at the beginning, I would have lowered my price to join "Juno" if I knew that I would have done so, such a hot box office result and so many positive reviews, coupled with my fame, it is likely that I will be able to win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor." Brad Pitt said with a look of annoyance.

Everyone laughed.

Although Brad Pitt is now a world-renowned movie star, although he has won two best actors since his debut, both of them were at the Venice Film Festival, and in the Oscars, until now, he has only been nominated for Best Supporting Actor once for "The Seven Deadly Sins", and has not won any trophies. For this, he has always been haunted.

"No matter how low you fall, your worth is not as low as mine." Jason. Bateman Ha said with a smile: "With the director's shrewdness, and the budget of less than 10 million is given, and the last province only spent 6.5 million on the stinginess of this province, he will definitely choose me and not you." ”

The crowd laughed again.

"Am I that stingy?" Xiahou Zhongying looked depressed.

"You're not stingy?" Brad Pitt said with disdain: "It is said that with your current reputation and the strength of your company, it is not impossible to invest 100 million, right?" However, the budget for "Twilight" that you are about to direct is less than 40 million. If I want a character, I'll cry poorly. ”

Everyone laughed and fell.

"It's not a matter of being able to get it, okay." Xiahou Zhongying smiled bitterly, "Besides, the rejection of you is not only because of the low budget. ”

"I know that the movie you want to make needs to choose handsome men, vampires, am I not handsome enough?" Brad looked angry and said, "You ask them, am I handsome?" Hey, you say, am I handsome? Whoever dares to say that you are not handsome, I will flatten you to death. ”

"You?" Xiahou Zhongying glanced up and down at Brad, who was threatening others, and then said, "It's not that you're not handsome enough, but you're not young enough." ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and food, drinks, and drinks squirted all over the floor. Several of them were also guilty of their clothes, and Brad was the worst, sprayed all over his body. In this way, the scene was even more laughing, attracting the attention of the woman who was chatting on the other end. (To be continued......)
