155.Chapter 155: Please Watch a Movie
Wang Jie was told that he was completely fine in the past few days, and he could have a good rest in the hotel, all of them were logistics staff, in a frenzied contact, to make up for the lost props, and at the same time change the shooting plan, and strive to shoot scenes that do not need various props first, as for Wang Jie, he returned to his room tiredly, before entering the door, he looked in the direction of Natalie, and the girl was also looking at him and nodded.

......After a day and night of fatigue, running in the wind and sand against the strong wind that can blow heavy objects, the whole body was sore, and there was even sand in the hair, Wang Jie took a good bath, wrapped in a blanket on the bed, closed his eyes and recuperated, he didn't know what he was thinking, after making a few calls, he took the satellite phone to charge, at this time, the hotel's internal phone rang: "Hey." β
Wang Jie originally closed his eyes and was wrapped in the quilt, but now he sat up, leaned on the head of the bed, and said, "Hey, Natalie, is there something wrong, do you need my rescue again." β
"No, I'm safe now, I just want to talk to someone." Natalie said over there.
"It's not like you, I have the impression that you can read a book when you're idle and bored." Wang Jie said.
Natalie replied, "It's boring to read. β
Wang Jie said: "Isn't it waiting to take you to the hospital to check your body, and by the way to do psychological intervention or something, you have to understand, the hospital here in Tozeur is to treat minor diseases, I still recommend you to go to Italy to have a look, anyway, it won't take a few days, find a handsome and understanding psychiatrist to help you solve your inner troubles or something." β
"Psychiatrists, when they got their licenses, most of them were bald uncles, well, why don't you go."
"In my case, tell people that I need to go to the hospital, but someone has to believe it, otherwise you can find a few bad people to prove how healthy I am?"
"I'm the same, in fact, I stayed there all night last night, I can even replenish my food, and I'm not hungry at all, so there's no need to waste the crew's manpower to treat, I'm a Jew after all, and the book of Exodus happened around here, how can I be a weak little girl."
Wang Jie just wanted to say that the Bible is all fake, but suddenly he had an epiphany, remembered his various experiences, and could only say: "The next time I see the director, I will ask him to give you an award, the Best Effort Actress Award." β
"Thank you, you're working hard, too."
The two shamelessly praised each other for a while, and suddenly there was nothing to say, Natalie waited for a while, and said: "By the way, tell me, why do you have to sign the Harry Potter book, although I have read this book a few times, it is true that the writing is a good book above the level, but I don't know how many books of this level there are every year, why do you have to sign this one." β
Wang Jie didn't want to explain, so he said: "This, in fact, is very simple, it is intuition. β
"Hmph, you must have a reason." Natalie taunted over there.
"No matter how I say it, it's also mixed in the New York Times bestseller list, don't be too discriminatory, I'm still very appreciative."
Natalie said, "Whatever you want." β
"Harry Potter's book, he's good at this sense of substitution, he has a good grasp of it, and the people who read it, no matter how big or small, will bring themselves into Harry, from an ordinary person, slowly growing into a wizard and magician with a mysterious identity hidden in modern society, isn't it cool." Wang Jie still explained.
Natalie was dissatisfied: "But, there's no girl in this?" β
"Miss Natalie Hermione, isn't there still you, look at it, in fact, you and Hermione are exactly the same, both are good at learning to explode, but their personalities can't be provoked to explode." Wang Jie laughed.
"You can't afford to mess with me, I have a lot of friends." Natalie said.
Wang Jie said: "Then you are in danger, the only one to save you is me, speaking of which, I got not only all the publishing rights of the future series of the novel, but also the adaptation rights of movies, TV series, comics, and animation, you are very suitable to play Hermione." β
"Oh," said Natalie, after a moment's thought, "sounds good, but it's not the right age." β
Wang Jie explained: "Yes, you are indeed a little older than Hermione in the book, so I am just saying that at least for a few years, I still can't start it, and I hope to start this project before the millennium." β
Natalie said, "Are you going to go the path of a producer in the future?" Do you want to be a director or an investor? β
Wang Jie said: "I'm already a profit-making director, forgot? I'm good now, not only the social cinema screening, but also the campus cinemas of various universities and high schools to rent copies, and TV stations are also very interested, and they want the broadcast rights, and the box office has exceeded 10 million. β
Approaching the end of the summer vacation, although the theaters of "Super Code Me" are insufficient, and the Black Men and Air Force One at the same time as him are box office hits, but the sudden appearance of a bunch of advertorials made frightened American parents hurry up to take their children to the cinema to watch this movie, so that children can quickly have a clear understanding of fried chicken, and try to eat less of this stuff in the future, so the box office of "Super Code Me" is still good, of course, there is definitely no financial tycoon who takes the opportunity to snipe McDonald's to make more.
Natalie admitted, "Alright, you're the best, alright, I'm resting." β
Feeling that he seemed to have said something wrong, Wang Jie listened to Natalie hang up the phone, and sighed that the women complained from afar, and they were not inferior when they were near, it was really like the weather in June, and after thinking about it, he stood up, dressed, packed up a few things, and went out of the room, and came to the door of Natalie's room, Wang Jie seemed to be a little apprehensive, but when he looked at the corridor and saw that there was no one, he still knocked on the door.
After a while, "Who," the voice inside came, Wang Jie deliberately said in a low voice, and said, "Hello, customer service." β
"I didn't call any customer service." Natalie still opened the door and saw that it was Wang Jie, who was holding a lot of things in his hand and walked in, Natalie took two steps back, got out of the way, and said, "What are you doing here?" β
Wang Jie said: "I know you're bored, this is the crew's video recorder, which was originally used by the director to watch ****, this is an overseas Chinese I happened to meet who happened to have this videotape, so I borrowed it and just watched it together." β
The air conditioner is on in the house, it's a little cold, Natalie should be lying on the bed reading a book, but she is still wearing well-fitting clothes, the upper body is a purple and blue plaid shirt, and the lower body is jeans, which is similar to the room where Wang Jie lives, all of them are single rooms, but the configuration is quite standard, a small glass bathroom, one-way vision, you can only see the outside from the inside, a bed, a wardrobe, and a TV facing the bed.
Wang Jie took the video tape to Natalie, and then came to the TV in her room, and began to connect the video recorder to the power supply and video cable, and at the same time glanced inside, this is a single room, and Natalie's bed is facing the TV, but fortunately, there is nothing that should not be seen, Wang Jie often fiddles with these electronic devices, and is naturally familiar with it.
βachineseodysseyοΌ What kind of movie is this. Natalie asked.
Wang Jie turned on the video camera, put it into the tape, and said: "A good Chinese movie, the Chinese name, is generally called, Journey to the West." β
That's right, it's Journey to the West, which is one of the few movies that can be watched in the current Chinese movies, Natalie shyly cleaned up her bed and said: "I don't have a chair in the room, sit on the ground and watch, this cushion can be used." β
"Okay, I can also take the opportunity to help you explain, there are some places, just read English subtitles, in fact, you can't understand his essence." Wang Jie said.
Natalie stopped: "Cinema is an art that transcends language, and a lot of times, when I don't need it, when I watch Japanese movies, I rely on my own understanding. β
"It's amazing," Wang Jie didn't speak, squatted down, and said, "The director seems to be busy just now, and it is estimated that he will have to wait for several days before filming can continue." β
"It's a shame we can't help."
"What we can do is to take a good rest, adjust the state to the highest, and don't forget the lines, when it comes to the real shooting, it's best to go over it again, at least not too many times, in other words, it seems that the most ug is Natalie you." Wang Jie looked at the opening picture of Journey to the West on TV and said.
"You know it's Jack who is wrong, he's still a kid, an 8-year-old, and he's at the level he has now, it's already very good," Natalie complained. "Speaking of which, you can indeed applaud the director with satisfaction in one pass, action star."
Wang Jie smiled: "My body is good, who is to blame." β
Natalie asked, "By the way, I remember when I was in London, you did a lot of somersaults, how many can you flip?" β
"What are the Guinness records? I'll go back and check and tell you, I don't have a limit in this regard, well, the movie starts, watch it slowly. β
What Wang Jie brought was the video tape of the first and second parts of the Journey to the West, until after watching it, Natalie was silent, until the end, watching the monkey Stephen Chow holding a golden hoop stick, turning his back to the man and woman who were kissing, leaving and leaving, she lowered her head, sighed, and said: "In some places, because I don't understand Chinese, I didn't understand it, but this is definitely a good movie, it seems to be very rich." β
The moral is what, it's just talking, but before Star Wars or Titanic appeared, the special effects or production of this movie were already considered superior, "Fortunately, at least I didn't work in vain, I was despised by you and had no culture." β
Natalie asked, "I don't understand something, let's put it again." β
"No problem."
"In the last place, that monkey, why can't you hold that girl when you wear that golden hoop, what does this mean," she touched Wang Jie's head and said, "It's good that you don't have it on your head." β
Wang Jie said: "This thing should not have appeared in Chinese history, it is almost a metaphor, implying that for the sake of the cause and peace, you must sacrifice something, such as love, for example, such as Che Guevara, eh, this character may not be appropriate for the metaphor, after all, he is anti-capitalist, you may not like him, a man in his forties, let the Cuban government minister inappropriately, but went abroad to make a revolution, and was finally arrested and shot, he is a very typical example, for the sake of the career, give up the family." β
"Of course I admire Che Guevara, and I'm not a capitalist, it's a wonderful analogy, but it's too cruel to women." Natalie doesn't seem to be very happy with this.
"It's understandable, I'm just my personal opinion, I had the opportunity to meet the director of this film himself, and I can help you ask what his meaning is." Wang Jie said immediately.
Natalie seemed interested and asked, "Oh, do you know this director, I think these two actresses are very beautiful, do you know them?" β
Wang Jie shook his head: "I just got into the entertainment industry in the United States, of course I don't know them, but it's very simple to get to know them, just make a few phone calls, speaking of which, I'm planning to start my career as a director next year if I'm not busy." β
Natalie asked, "Oh, what do you think, tell me about it, and I'll help you refer to it." β
Wang Jie said: "First of all, make two or three movies with little investment and excellent scripts, and then, I want to try it and put my novel, The Walking Dead on TV, well, I watched it, if it is a little difficult to make a movie, then it should be made into a TV series, and after that, it is almost the production of Harry Potter films, of course, if there are any good ideas and scripts during the period, it must be filmed first." β
Natalie thought for a moment and said, "The TV series is still terrifying, I don't know if it's popular." β
In the United States, the production of TV series and movies is two distinct groups, and those who can straddle the film and TV circles are generally not simple characters, which is related to the different production methods of the two programs, and the audience's restrictions on the acceptance of the role, for example, Wang Jie made a cameo appearance in "Friends", after the ten seasons of "Friends", the only one who can run to the film industry to work hard is Jennifer Aniston who plays Rachel, just like this, Jennifer is also miserable and plays a lot of non-mainstream roles, Because if you want to attract the audience to run into the cinema and enjoy a movie, then the sense of substitution is an essential thing, Jennifer is too impressed by the American people's "American sweetheart", so it is difficult not to remind them of Friends, so people in the TV industry often want to enter the film industry, they are all difficult and hard.
In the past, American TV series were either funny like everyone loves Raymond, Friends or Seinfeld, or science fiction like Star Trek, and it can't compare to the 21st century, under the blooming of a hundred flowers, all kinds of crimes, thrillers, or excellent epic TV series like A Song of Ice and Fire that can be compared to **** domestic movies, or even Breaking Bad that depicts crimes, prison breaks, or something.
So Natalie has this question, Wang Jie also understands that the popularity of a movie or TV series is inseparable from the background of the times, such as in **** Hong Kong, in the 90s, the economy was prosperous, so it was mainly a commercial war drama, and in the new century, it was all about various police and gangster films, all of which were related to the living standards and economic development at that time.
Wang Jie smiled and said, "My novel is still very popular, it's a big deal to continue to work hard, write more, and revise the script when the time comes." β
