Chapter 81: Boot Release

Americans have a lot of contempt for other peoples, but in fact, there has never been a nation called "America" on this earth. What is the Shijie National Melting Pot? It is a nation of invaders, exiles, speculators, and innocents who have been trafficked here. Americans looked down on Asians, Africans, Jews, Indians, and Scotlands, when in fact their ancestors were just a bunch of losers who came to the United States after they couldn't get along in their original homeland, otherwise who would have risked being swallowed up by the sea and dying in the belly of a fish. It's just that such a group of people made a little war money after the two Shijie wars, although they always advertise equality for all, democracy and freedom, etc., but the word "racial discrimination" was coined specifically for this ugly country.

What is being discussed below, Li Jingming is very clear, it is nothing more than seeing an Asian as a producer and touching the sensitive points of these Americans. Asian-Americans have made a lot of achievements in the American film industry, and the most famous is the great director Ang Lee, who won the Oscar for Best Director, but Ang Lee is an American through and through, not to mention, he is still just a director. It is certainly impossible for Ang Lee to run his own company like Spielberg, the "Dream Weaver", and it is impossible to ask for a large share like the "King of Shijie" Cameron. Just put these three examples together, and it is clear that Americans would rather accept a Jew (Spielberg) and a Canadian (Cameron) than an Asian (Ang Lee).

"What do you think you invested in this film for, to get into the American film industry?" A reporter's question may seem like nothing, but it is actually being asked with a very obvious purpose.

Li Jingming is very arrogant, how can he have a good face when others say such things to him, "I just invest out of regret that a good script is not appreciated and a good playwright is not recognized, of course I am talking about "Juno" and its author, Ms. Diablo Coty. ”

"So you're saying that the other Hollywood companies that turned down Juno are blindsided?" This is big news, an Asian who is firing at the eight major film giants at the same time and provoking the traditional Hollywood system, this is simply the most haode news material.

"These companies may have their own considerations, I'm not them, I don't know what they think, so I can't say that they are blind, and it is better to say that they are not adventurous." Li Jingming shrugged his shoulders, and his mocking expression almost pointed at Hollywood's nose and scolded those big companies for being cowards.

"Are you Asian-American, or are you of any other nationality?" Another reporter asked.

"Koreans."

"Do you think you have what it takes to produce this film? Personally, it seems like you're not good. "It seems like a small problem, but this is basically provoking Li Jingming, which is equivalent to attacking life.

Li Jingming sneered, "Do you know my age?" Do you know about my life experience? Do you know how I work? Do you know my educational background? ”

"I don't know, and I don't need to." The American journalist was equally arrogant in saying that he was a standard racist, and that his father wore a white robe with a white horned hood (check white supremacy).

"I don't know anything, and I dare to conclude that others can't do it, I think when the United States sent troops to Iraq, you didn't know about whether people were hiding weapons of mass destruction or oil, and you didn't need to understand, right?" Li Jingming directly exposed the other party's bandit logic, what does it mean that you don't need to understand, "You don't need to understand?" Is this the attitude of you Americans? ”

"Of course not, that's his personal opinion."

"How is it possible, the United States is a serious country."

"We've always investigated before we acted."

Other reporters have gone over to slap this stupid pig a few times to make him sober up, is this what people say, what does it mean that you don't need to understand?

The anti-war voice of the American people has always been very high, and it has reached a climax in the past few years, and this war fought only for the rich has aroused widespread opposition among the people at the lower levels, who have lost their loved ones but let the rich people at the top take advantage. If this journalist dares to speak up for the American bureaucrats and capitalists who stand against the people, he will basically die. It's not a joke to die, but it's really going to die, there are countless veterans in the United States who are idle and have nothing to do, patients with all kinds of mental illness, and also have strong military skills, maybe after drinking a little wine that day, they really ran to reward him with a peanut.

"I don't care how you got in, how you're going to write this story, whether you're ready to take the lawyer's letter and lose your panties, but here's what I'm going to say: a lot of traditional Hollywood filmmakers have lost their adventurous spirit, and it's time to regain that spirit." Li Jingming's words are sonorous and powerful, he has always been a self-respecting character, can he still be influenced by these little reporters?

After saying that, Li Jingming left directly, he came here to show his existence, but his own name appeared on the subtitles after that, it was more justifiable, he came to visit his employees, not to quarrel with these reporters. Li Jingming left, the reporters calmed down, although the movie itself is very topical, but now the reporters have collected the topical material they want, an arrogant Asian, there is nothing more attractive to readers than this. These reporters only hate that "Juno" has just started filming, and if it has already been released, they can give Li Jingming a good look, but they can only do so now after "Juno" is released and fails miserably.

Li Jingming waited on the side, and it didn't take long for the press conference to end, and the first person to come over to shake hands was Diablo Coty. In the past year, Diablo Coty has been heartbroken for her work, and the script, which was originally very haode, ate too much closed-door soup because of the subject matter, and when she was disheartened and wanted to give up, Li Jingming appeared, giving her a chance to put "Juno" on the big screen. A work is like the author's own child, how can she not want her child to be the center of attention, Diablo Coty has been questioned too much in the United States, a country that not only discriminates against other ethnic groups but also against women, and Li Jingming's two "excellent" just now completely won her favor.

"How's it going, my guys, our movie is about to start, are you excited?" Li Jingming didn't say this sentence for no reason, his film company is full of people who have been excluded or depressed by other companies, and they are also people who have jishu and real skills, and now they don't have to be excluded by other people, but have started shooting their own works, of course they will be excited. The director and screenwriter are also excited that the script they love can finally be brought to the big screen, and director Jason Reitman is the key person who made Diablo Coty determined to turn "Juno" from a serialized novel into a movie script.

The actor Michael Sierra is also very excited, although he is a Hollywood "old man" who has acted in many movies, but he has always been tepid, and now the opportunity has come, such a sensitive subject, or an independent film with a production cost of 10 million, he has never heard of anyone who will invest 10 million dollars in independent films. Michael Sierra has seen the hope of his success, and he himself is very confident in this script, after all, after so many years in Hollywood, at least he still has the ability to appreciate the script.

The only one who isn't so excited is probably Alan Page, a rising star in Hollywood with a bright future, and not to mention the rest, she has five films filmed in 2007 alone. The reason why Alan Pegg, who has made both small and big productions, took over this movie was because he was very interested in the very interesting role of Juno, and even insisted on accepting the invitation of "Juno" under the persuasion of his agent. Receiving an invitation to audition and submitting your resume to audition are two different concepts entirely, so it is not surprising that this heroine was picked up by Alan Pegg.

Alan Pegg, who was only interested in the movie itself, saw a person who made her even more interested today, this person looks younger than her, a "new Hollywood star" (in fact, Li Jingming is a year older than Allen Page), but he is aggressive, and his arrogant self is different from the Asian people Allen Page has seen before. In Ellen Page's impression, all Asians are always humble and kind, tolerant and gentle, and it is the first time she has seen Li Jingming so flamboyant and arrogant.

"Hello, Mr. Producer." Alan Page first went up to say hello to Lee Ching-ming, the director is the biggest in the film industry when the studio is shooting, and the producer is the biggest at other times, because the producer represents the person who pays for it. Ellen Page must first have a good relationship with Li Jingming, whether in public or private. Alan Peggy doesn't look very old, but she has been in Hollywood for so many years, she can do all of them, and some of the things she shouldn't.

Li Jingming's reflection is completely similar to the change of brother in front of the reporters just now, very sunny: "Hello, just call me Jamie, our cute and beautiful heroine." ”

"Don't you even know my name?" Alan Page also let down his guard under Li Jingming's smile, and his peers always get along better.

"How so, I've been a fan of Miss Peggy since the release of Hard Fruit Candy." Li Jingming's cheap trick was quietly launched, you must know that he only knew about the movie "Hard Candy" for the first time last week. "Your acting skills are great, and that's one of the reasons we invited you."

Alan Page is happy, no one is unhappy with other people's compliments, especially women, "Xiexie, but acting is only one of the reasons, so what else?" ”

"Of course it's your beauty." Li Jingming's smile at this time is extremely charming, and it is also extremely cheap.
