"Hey! White, it's a pleasure to meet you! ”

"Hey! I'm also very happy, old man. ”

Bai Shiqiu arrived in the United States, and the first thing he saw was of course old Keaton, this guy is different now, full of spring breeze, although he still has a pit on his face, his appearance has fallen extremely much, but a "Tryvor" has made this guy find the glory of the past again, at least now there are a lot of film appointments, and this old guy can pick again.

That's right, his problem is that he is too good at pretending to be forced, and he picks the script very well.

When the two met, it was just a simple greeting, and then it was time to talk about business.

"Richard Curtis? Why are you interested in this British? ”

"His "Pirate Radio" is good, I guess the next movie should also come out, and I want to talk about a cooperation."

Bai Shiqiu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Keaton call Curtis British, Richard Curtis is actually not British, at least not born in the UK, but he has lived in the UK for most of his life, such as university, such as ...... In fact, this guy understands that he is an aristocrat, a British aristocratic style that he can't get rid of.

It's more annoying.

But it can't be helped, even Keaton knows that Curtis is too talented, and he is the current number one person in Hollywood's screenwriting circle.

The script he wrote can really bring benefits to the film company, and it is also a huge benefit, the most prominent is the "BJ Single Diary", this film is really enough, it was a simple small production at the beginning, Renee Zellweger's fame at that time was still very average, but this movie was a box office hit, and even made a second part later.

In this film, Renee Zellweger was directly promoted to the superstar level, and even starred in "Chicago", and was the second female lead in "Cold Mountain", which is a blockbuster, in fact, her role in "Cold Mountain" is heavier than Nicole Kidman, and because of this, she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

Seriously, Renee Zellweger really doesn't have the level of a superstar in terms of appearance and figure, but people are on fire.

So, so it seems......

"It's not difficult!" Old Keaton, this guy came straight to this.

"Oh, are you so good?" Bai Shiqiu was very surprised.

"What are you afraid of! Let's go...... "Old Keaton, this guy has a big bag.

It's strange, why does old Keaton have such confidence?

In fact, it is very simple, and that is because Curtis's owner is also Universal.

Universal is a company that is very famous in Hollywood and even around the world, and is definitely one of the famous big companies, but this company has a characteristic, that is, they prefer to go off the beaten path.

If there is no division, then Universal must be the most successful horror film company, that is to say, they prefer this kind of small theme, horror films, in fact, the cost is relatively low, and it is difficult to be affiliated with big productions.

Curtis's works are actually not blockbusters, not the kind that makes people feel particularly awesome when they hear it, and the cooperation between the two sides has always been very good.

The previous "Trevor" was done with Universal, so this thing is ...... Keaton Sr. was certainly confident.

Not only him, but Ron was also very happy when he heard it!

"Great! White, you've come up with such a great idea, it's amazing! Should cooperate! Absolutely should cooperate! ”

went to Ron and almost scared Bai Shiqiu as a result, this guy is more positive than anyone else.

In fact, in recent years, the financial situation of the world has been relatively average, and the source of their real money is horror films, but in recent years, the horror film market, on the one hand, is menacing in Japan, represented by "Midnight Bell", and on the other hand, it is Shimen's Chainsaw series.

You must know that the characteristic of horror films is that the investment is very small, don't look at the box office, but the main income in the United States is the disc market, and horror films have always been against the sky in the disc market...... Everyone understands the reason, there is a horror movie at home, and then you can say to the girl, come on, let's watch the movie together, and watch it, then it must be calling and moving your hands and feet.

In recent years, Universal has relied on the support of Freddy and Jason, the two terrifying male protagonists, and has been constantly frying cold rice, so life is really average.

"Trevor" performed very well, and now, Bai Shiqiu offered to work with Curtis, which is simply great.

"How? White, let me say it! "Old Keaton, can you still ask for credit?

"Mmmm, count you awesome, I'll invite you to dinner." Bai Shiqiu actually knew it in his heart for a long time.

Curtis's relationship with the world, can he still not know about Bai Shiqiu?

But what to eat?

"I want to eat steak, I heard that there is a new steakhouse that is very good, and the owner is a girl from China, and her craftsmanship is ......"

When Bai Shiqiu heard this, he quickly shook his head, "I don't like to eat steak." ”

"Oh?"

Honest man, finally didn't tell the truth.

Unexpectedly, she really made a name for herself.

"Find a Michelin-starred restaurant." Bai Shiqiu also let it out this time.

What else can old Keaton say?

Of course, he smiled, so he followed Bai Shiqiu with the mentality of eating a big deal, how could old Keaton not know that Bai Shiqiu now has a company listed on the NASDAQ?

In this way, it seems that everything is OK, and if it is smooth, I am ready to get my hands on Richard Curtis's new film, or simply a new script.

But there are always surprises.

"What? Curtis that guy refuses? What is his reason? ”

Ron rushed straight over, apparently doing so to show his sincerity.

"This ......" Ron was a little embarrassed, after all, he had been talking a lot before.

Bai Shiqiu thought it was very interesting at this time, "You can say it directly." ”

Ron had to say embarrassedly: "Curtis, this guy is not very good-tempered, although he looks very gentlemanly on the outside, but this ...... Bastard, he's a bastard. He said for the simple reason that he was afraid that it would be difficult for others to understand his script. ”

Others have a hard time understanding the script?

And Bai Shiqiu immediately smiled and said: "I'm afraid he still said it, let alone a Chinese, right?" ”

"Ahem...... Ron choked, "White, you're really a super smart guy, I admire you so much, but trust me, this bastard is just a standard Brit who looks down on people, and he usually looks down on many Americans, so that's not what he means." ”

Bai Shiqiu didn't say much, "I understand, but give me time, I'll meet him personally." ”

When Ron heard this, he smiled, "Of course it's no problem, he's in Hollywood when he's preparing for the Oscars recently." ”

Looks like it's not bad, it's kind of a way.

But, on the day we met...

The familiar decoration, the heartfelt arrangement, especially the photos of himself on the wall, Bai Shiqiu felt a little uncomfortable.

I don't know what's wrong, maybe it's this steakhouse Internet celebrity, anyway, I made an appointment at Feng Ru's restaurant today, and our Chef Feng is still more enthusiastic.

"Hey, how cooked do you want it?" Feng Ru gave Bai Shiqiu a special smile.

"Ahem...... It's still the same. Bai Shiqiu didn't have too many words, he felt that it might be that the more he talked, the more embarrassing he became.

"Okay." Feng Ru went to deal with the steak.

Curtis is on the side, this Hollywood gold medal screenwriter, his appearance is very special, the standard configuration of an English gentleman, clean, neat, and definitely good-looking and temperamental among white people, but he has white hair and no miscellaneous hair, which even makes people wonder if he is particularly dyed white.

At this time, seeing Bai Shiqiu's interaction with the steakhouse proprietor, he became curious, "You know?" ”

"It's a small world, haha." Bai Shiqiu came up with a standard American answer.

"Uh-huh, that's small."

But fortunately, Bai Shiqiu pointed to his photo.

"Hah...... You were handsome at that time, Mr. White. ”

"Thank you."

It must be said that in the beginning stage, the two of them were definitely polite.

But soon, as the steak was served, the topic became hot.

"Mr. White, you should have heard everything I said before, very good, I said it bluntly, not only you Chinese, I dare to say, even the whole of Hollywood no one can understand, so you should be satisfied, right?"

"Mr. Curtis, I really can't understand your self-confidence, is this the spirit of an English gentleman?"

"Very well, you are very accurate in my sarcasm, thank you. However, I still feel that there is no need for cooperation. ”

"Curtis, have you seen my plan? It's not a simple collaboration, OK? ”

"I've seen it, but I'm afraid that my script will be filmed beyond recognition, and in particular, I hate it when others modify my work!"

"You ......"

Damn, Bai Shiqiu really wants to scold, this Curtis is a typical British guy, oh no, it's a typical British upper-class, proud, stubborn, stubborn, and twisted......

So, the two of them were very soon...

"Mr. White, I actually admire your courage very much."

What is the ...... Directly ignited the flames of war.

"Oh, is it? So, Mr. Curtis, can we say something else? ”

"What do you want to say? Mr. White. ”

"I'm curious about the box office of 'Pirate Radio.'"

"Oh......"

At the mention of this box office, Curtis was stunned, and there was a rare second-class atmosphere on his standard British upper-class face.

Bai Shiqiu smiled and said, "Although I am from a small place in China, I still have some news. ”

"Can you talk about some individual ones?" Curtis was still stiff-mouthed.

"Like three million? Isn't it? ”

"It's not!"

"Oh, by the way, I remember, it's five million at the box office, a full five million dollars at the box office."

"You, you...... A good movie can't be measured by box office! ”

"No, I just said more, it's not even five million."

"Oh, F......" is about to expletive, but, in order to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, Curtis keeps grabbing his white hair, which has no stray hair.

Curtis's latest work, "Pirate Radio", is definitely a very cheating film...... Anyway, it killed the world, and the box office after its release was about 4 million.

That's why Ron was so happy when he heard that Bai Shiqiu was going to work with Curtis.

And Bai Shiqiu has long understood in his heart, what are you pretending to be with me, a fucking British gentleman.

Seriously, Curtis really wanted to flick his sleeves and leave, if he had done it before, but not now.

The all-star lineup of "Pirate Radio" failed at the box office and suffered Waterloo, which made him, a gold medal screenwriter, very faceless, the most important thing is that he was originally a screenwriter, he didn't have a long time as a director, and the last one didn't make much money, but he couldn't fail so badly.

Universal is gritting its teeth, and Curtis also knows that the financial tsunami has just passed, and many companies are waiting to be fed.

But the pressure is still very high.

"Can you really understand my new screenplay, 'About-Time?'"

Finally, finally, finally...... The stubborn Englishman bowed his haughty head.

Bai Shiqiu knew that he was already in control of the overall situation, but he still needed a fatal blow, at the moment, he thought for a while, and then said: "I want this movie for my lover." ”

This sentence shocked Curtis at the time.

He confirmed that the Mr. White in front of him had not seen his new script, but the title of the script alone could say something dedicated to his lover, which was simply ......

"My God, White, I was an idiot just now, and I apologize to you, sincerely apologize." As he spoke, he also looked at the proprietress of the steakhouse.

"Oops, you're welcome."

Why such a big shift?

Because it's very simple, this script currently only reveals the title and some simple content that can't be simpler, but Bai Shiqiu actually said that word directly, lover.

What does this mean?

It's about love.

And is that enough?

Enough is enough, really enough.

Because Curtis is not only a gold medal screenwriter, he also has some other titles, such as the Holy Hand of Romance Movies, the Curtis Criterion of Romance Movies......

His films basically revolve around the theme of love.

Bai Shiqiu, a Chinese who came from afar, can see love from a script whose name sounds very similar to a science fiction movie, so isn't this Curtis's confidant?

And in fact...... Bai Shiqiu didn't know what story this script was about.

Next, it was the two sides discussing the details of the story, which made Curtis even more unbelievable......

"Curtis, you don't understand that we Chinese be the most imaginary in the world when it comes to time travel...... You go and take a look at our Chinese network, and you will understand after reading it. ”

"Oh, is it so powerful?"

This shocked Curtis.

Feng Ru, as the owner of the steakhouse, saw Lao Bai interacting with the white-haired guy, and she knew early on that the white-haired guy that the white-haired person would definitely be stunned by Lao Bai.

So, she wasn't worried at all.

Until watching the two of them eat and check out and leave, Feng Ru didn't say anything.

In the evening, when it is time to close ...

"Why don't you say a few more words to me?"

Bai Shiqiu reappeared.

And what about Feng Ru?

smiled and said, "Do you still want to talk about ten yuan?" ”

As always, it's so intimidating...
