Chapter 186: The Old Man [Today's Third Watch, Asking for a Monthly Pass]
(Thank you for the tips from the ruthless feather pro, the rice Yanxi pro, the Kiki little lady, and the blue night owl pro!!) )
Just when the atmosphere was low, a clean female voice came from the door. "What's the big deal, this movie can't be made, just change it. You big living people, can you still suffocate urine? ”
The voice was crisp and bright, with an unmistakable arrogance. Just by letting people hear it, there will be a sense of convincing.
Everyone turned to look, and saw a girl with an Asian face walking in with a little girl of the same skin color of six or seven years old.
The girl is tall and exquisite, and anyone who sees it will know that this is a stunning beauty.
However, the cheek lines are very prominent, and the momentum is fierce. Although she is indeed a beauty, it can be seen from the outline alone that this woman's character must be a bold and fierce type.
A man who doesn't have some ability can't control it.
And a short fiery red hair adds to her wildness. Coupled with a blood-colored suit and pants, the whole person was like a fire, making the temperature in the room scorching.
There was a sad atmosphere just now, but it was scattered in an instant.
It could be seen that this girl knew Spielberg very well, otherwise she would not have been able to come and go in his studio so casually.
Sure enough, when he saw this girl, the great director who was still alive and dead, was like eating the elixir of rejuvenation, and he immediately became refreshed. "Oh dear, dear Dailin, how did you come from San Francisco to visit your poor Uncle Steven?"
The girl rolled her eyes and said unceremoniously: "Forgive me for being clumsy, I really don't see where you are pitiful for such a big director?" ”
Looking at the snickering appearance of a room of people, Spielberg shrugged helplessly. "Well, Dailin, you're always going to be like this for not saving some face for Uncle Steven."
The girl walked in while talking, and only then did she notice that there were several people of the same skin color as herself in the room.
Especially standing behind Spielberg, and Michael. The boy standing side by side. His starry eyes were staring at him. The soft and stunning face is so familiar.
"Huh?" The girl stamped in front of Cui Zhengyuan and looked at him sideways.
Although it is a little rude, this girl only makes people feel cute. "Hey, have I seen you?"
Cui Zhengyuan smiled, and there seemed to be some more beautiful memories in the depths of his eyes. "Yes, when I was a child, I threw earthworms in your school bag, and you complained to my grandfather."
"Ha, you're ...... Are you Brother Zhengyuan? What Cui Zhengyuan said is very deep in the girl's memory. So all of a sudden, she was reminded of her childhood. The time of the childhood sweetheart is in a trance.
Although the story was not so perfect, it was full of his pranks. But the girl apparently didn't care about that, and now she was filled with great surprises.
"Woo, Brother Zhengyuan, didn't you tell me when you came to the United States?" The girl cried "wow" and pounced on Cui Zhengyuan.
Two thin but liliang arms hugged his neck tightly.
Things were moving so fast that the two of them hugged each other before they could say three words, so that the people around them didn't react.
The four young artists were envious of Cui Zhengyuan's good fortune. Just like that, let a beautiful stunner throw herself into the arms. Look at how you look and you don't look ugly, weishenme, a big beauty, didn't you like yourself? What's the difference? Could it be the reason why Emperor Xiangshang didn't pray today?
Park Jung-jae and Jung Sung-huai were shocked, and then saw that the girl's movements were not malicious, and then they put their minds at ease.
What Choi Jung-won didn't know was. Before coming to the United States, the two of them were summoned by Choi Wulong and asked them to ensure Choi Jung-won's safety no matter what.
So they were nervous all the time, for anyone who approached Choi Jung-won. are vigilant.
Spielberg and Michael. Bei was surprised, they didn't expect Cui Zhengyuan to actually know this girl.
But think about the birthplace of the two, they are both in that eastern shijie. settled down a little, waiting for the two to finish their old stories.
The little girl who came in with the red-haired girl was a little scared. She didn't understand that her sister Weishenme was hugging a strange man, or in such a big audience.
Mom said that it was a shame for a girl to do this.
Cui Zhengyuan hadn't seen this girl for many years, and he was very excited when he met him at first glance.
After a long time, he gently let go of the girl and rubbed it on her smooth hair. "Coco, I haven't seen her for so many years, and now she's grown into a big girl."
He used Chinese because the girl was of Chinese descent.
Seeing that Cui Zhengyuan was still doing the actions when she spoiled her back then, the girl fell into the memories and hummed: "Hmph, what else do you say, you haven't contacted me for so many years." People are looking forward to your phone call every day, but you have long forgotten it. ”
Cui Zhengyuan shouted loudly, "How can there be? A beautiful girl like you, if she is forgotten, she will be damned. ”
"Then you don't contact me?" The girl asked.
Spreading his hands, Cui Zhengyuan explained: "You can also see it, I've been very busy." I'm so busy that I don't even have time to go to school, and I don't even think you're free. Otherwise, when Weishenme arrives in the United States, I won't go to San Francisco to find you? ”
The girl rolled her eyes and said stubbornly: "The ghost only believes you, and the man will deceive people with clever words." ”
Spielberg, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore and interjected, "Hey, young man, you can't just ignore us. Although flirting is a very sweet thing, but in front of so many light bulbs, and there are children, you have to pay attention to the impact. ”
"you, what's flirting? We are a very pure brother and sister relationship. Choi Jung-won shot back.
The girl named Coco was even more violent, and directly stretched out her foot and kicked Spielberg in the calf so hard that the painful old guy jumped three feet high. made the people next to her, who still had illusions about her, immediately retreated a lot.
Although the beauty is good, she also has to endure the violence.
After the fight, the girl explained: "Brother Zhengyuan and I have known each other since childhood, and our two families are world friends. ”
Spielberg didn't understand, "It's weird, you two. One lives in San Francisco and the other lives in South Korea, how can it be a world friend? ”
Choi Jung-won and the girl looked at each other and smiled, but did not answer his question. In fact, there is no way to talk about their relationship with Spielberg.
The girl's name was Situ Keke, and she grew up in San Francisco since she was a child.
In the city with the largest number of Chinese in the western United States, the surname Situ itself represents an extraordinary meaning. Guy produced a celebrity with a high reputation in the Situ family - Mr. Situ Meitang.
And Situ Keke is the great-granddaughter of Mr. Situ Meitang.
From Situ Meitang to Situ Keke's father, Situ Jingyuan, has always been the leader of Chinese Americans.
And their identities behind the scenes are even more amazing, which makes people smell and change.
The Situ family has always been the leader of Hongmen. Hold the cow ears of the largest community organization on this shijie.
In other words, Situ Keke is the pearl of Shijie's No. 1 gang. It is no exaggeration to say that she has lived a princess-like life since she was born.
The unknown aspect of Choi Jung-won's family is that it is not the most primitive descendant of the Goryeo ethnic group that developed from the Samhan tribe at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula in ancient times.
The earliest ancestors of the Cui family were authentic Han people, who belonged to a famous family in the Jiangnan region.
Later, the Mongols invaded the south and wiped out the Southern Song Dynasty. The Choi clan who don't want to be ruled by a foreign race. They crossed the ocean and finally laid their roots on the Korean Peninsula.
At that time, the Korean regime admired the splendid and glorious culture of the Central Plains. Therefore, the king of Joseon at that time helped Choi to hide it in every possible way, so that it was not discovered by the Mongols.
After the Ming Dynasty overthrew the Yuan Dynasty. The Cui clan has been on the peninsula for generations, blending in with the local clans.
Since then, Choi has been an emissary between the Central Plains Dynasty and the Joseon regime.
This state of affairs lasted for hundreds of years, until the fall of the Central Plains regime in modern times.
Therefore, Choi has always been within the Korean nation. It has a high status and belongs to one of the most prestigious surnames.
Similarly, Samsung's Li family has also been entangled with China.
So Lee Meng-hee did not fight his younger brother Lee Kun-hee. went to Beijing to live in overseas Chinese and started a public residence in peace.
In 2008, Li Mbo liquidated the Samsung Li family. Lee Kun-hee was imprisoned, and his son Lee Jae-yong also fled to Beijing to avoid trouble.
Coincidentally, these two generations did not run to the United States, which is closest to South Korea, as expected, but went to the continent, which is more confrontational.
The implications are worth pondering.
Especially later, Apple, the king of the smartphone market, called for wind and rain in the international market and cut down all competitors.
However, in the Chinese market, which has the most important market share, it has been strongly blocked by Samsung. Not only did it not win the biggest cake steadily, but it has also been suppressed by Samsung.
Without the support of the relevant Chinese authorities behind this, I am afraid it will be difficult for Samsung Group to do it alone.
With this kind of origin, it is not surprising that the Cui family and the Situ family have dealings. This is not only a combination of interests, but also a political need.
When China and South Korea first established diplomatic relations, it was the Cui family and the Situ family who made a bridge between them.
And whenever the relationship between China and South Korea deteriorates or even tense, it is also the two countries that are responsible for reconciling the conflict and preventing the conflict from intensifying to the point of no return.
Therefore, the Cui family has a good relationship with many shili in China.
After Weishenme Cui Siyuan debuted, he was able to have such a good relationship with so many big-name artists in Hong Kong and Taiwan? It's not because of the relationship with Mr. Xiang in Hong Kong.
Mr. Xiang is the leading boss of New Ngee An, and he belongs to Hongmen. Whether it is seniority or reputation, it cannot be compared with the Situ family.
Although Hongmen is a relatively scattered organization, the various factions in it are all in the same spirit, and the relationship is complex.
Moreover, the relationship between Hong Kong's community organizations and the United States is quite close, and they have never been interrupted.
Cui Zhengyuan smiled and said, "Steven, this is our secret, you still don't want to know." ”
Spielberg scratched his scalp and said with a little irritation, "Damn, I'm not interested in your relationship. Dailin, you said a different work? Is this an easy thing to do? You must know that investors are willing to invest money because they fancy the prospects of "Transformers". Where am I going to find a work that will convince investors? ”
Michael. Bei also chimed in: "Yes, the production process of the movie is not as simple as you think. From project approval to investment, to recruiting personnel, forming a crew, finding shooting locations, interviewing actors, shooting on site, and using special effects. After the filming is completed, there are post-production, cinema inspection, publicity and advertising, release and release, and the development of peripheral products, and each step is interlocking. If you want to change the script, all the steps have to be reversed...... That's too much to pay! Unless there is a playbook that can be said to make sense and let investors see business opportunities. Otherwise, we won't be able to convince those who see the money. ”
These two are experts in filmmaking, and the questions they consider are certainly more reasonable than what Situ Keke said.
Hearing that there were so many difficulties, everyone fell into a state of embarrassment.
But there is only one exception, and that is Choi Jung-won. But the first thing he had to do was to make sure that his idea was realistic.
"Steven, Mike, listen to you, it's not impossible to change the work, is it?" Cui Zhengyuan asked the key question and waited for the two to answer him.
Spielberg was stunned, not figuring out that he would ask such a question.
Michael. Bei answered the question, "Yes, Cui, as long as there is a good enough script, nothing else is a problem." After all, it's too early to think about those links. As long as the work is good enough, it is not a big deal to replace it. ”
As he spoke, he gestured with his hand to his surroundings. "As you can see, the crew has just had a prototype. As for the photographers, prop masters, actors, etc., they are still in Jihua, and the problems in the later stage are even more distant. ”
Michael. Bei's mind was very shrewd, and he suddenly figured out what Cui Zhengyuan meant. His eyes widened in disbelief. "Isn't it, Cui, you mean you still have the haode script in your hand?"
What answered him was Choi Jung-won's incomparably bright smile. "You're right, Mike. I have a script here that is not inferior to "Transformers", but not in my hands, but here. ”
As he spoke, Cui Zhengyuan pointed to his head and gestured.
Spielberg also reacted, and suddenly pounced in front of Cui Zhengyuan and confronted him eye to eye. "Cui, this is a business of tens of millions of dollars, and there is no room for jokes. Otherwise, those profiteers will not let you have a good time, no matter who you are. ”
To calm his emotions, Cui Zhengyuan said affirmatively: "An, Steven, do you think I look like a person with no purpose?" ”
Without waiting for Spielberg to answer, Cui Zhengyuan stepped aside and said to an artist: "Man, if you don't mind, can you lend me a computer?" ”
The artist was also frightened by what Cui Zhengyuan said, and hurriedly hid to the side, watching his movements in a daze.
Cui Zhengyuan sat down in front of the computer and skillfully opened the word document. He moved his finger and gestured to the people around him. "I'll start, wait a minute."
As he spoke, a barrage of English appeared on the screen.
The people around exclaimed, and Hula suddenly surrounded him.
didn't dare to blink his eyes, and nervously watched Cui Zhengyuan smoothly and smoothly tapping words on the screen. (To be continued.) )
