Chapter 235. 【Foodie Brothers】
Since its establishment, Dream Pictures has basically developed in a unitized manner, and it is only recently that Dream Pictures has joined forces with Hilton Group and Teplan Group to develop the hotel industry and real estate industry. Now, Yi Feiyang has to join forces with Lagerfeld, the "Lafayette" of the fashion industry, to develop his new brand, which has to be said to be diversifying at an astonishing speed.
So much so that in the face of these businesses, Dures, known as the iron man, was busy and exhausted.
Yi Feiyang, with a fashion emperor like Lagerfeld in charge, the script is written very smoothly, not to mention, under the introduction of Lagerfeld, Anne Hathaway, as the starring role, was also introduced to Harper's Bazaar for an internship, so as to experience life and play the role of "Antti" well.
In the blink of an eye, it was March 19, 2000. There are 3 days left before the opening of the Oscars ceremony, which is a carnival in the entertainment industry of the entire world.
During this time, speculation about the Oscar awards has become a national topic. Major TV stations in the United States and even in the world are reporting on this year's Oscar nominations, and speculating who will be the dark horse, who will be the unlucky guy, who will cry on the Oscars, and who will hold the little golden man and smile......
But the most curious thing is that the Wachowski brothers did not give up advertising in the press and television, vowing to find the mysterious person "Mysterious Neo", in the words of the two brothers, if this mysterious person does not appear, then their participation in this year's Oscars is meaningless.
The Wachowski brothers' persistence won the applause of all their peers, praising them as honest people. People who are angry.
And those mainstream media even called for this "mysterious Neo" to appear.
Entertainment Weekly, USA - "Mystic Neo is not mysterious, the Wachowski brothers miss you!" ”
The Hollywood Times - "Hurry up and show your true colors, let's see who you are!" ”
American "Entertainment New Focus" - "The Oscars need you, Wachowski is calling you, mysterious Neo is showing up quickly!" ”
……
In short, Hollywood likes to engage in something mysterious the most, and it is clear that this mysterious person is on their appetite, so much so that major media outlets have reported it as blockbuster news.
For a time, "Mystic Neo" became almost synonymous with entertainment life. A lot of people are looking forward to it. I hope to be able to meet this person who wrote the script for "The Matrix 2" at the Oscars.
Privately, the Wachowski brothers did not give up on using all means to find the benefactor who helped them, and they even decided to use a private investigator to find this person, but just as they were ready to take action. But he received a call from "Mysterious Neo". On the phone. The mysterious guy made an appointment with the Wachowski brothers to meet at a Chinese teahouse near Chinatown.
The Wachowski brothers were a little confused about this weird date, and wondered why they were in Chinatown. Why do you want to be in a teahouse? Could it be that this mysterious Neo lives here? Regardless, the Wachowski brothers arrived at their destination on time.
When they arrived, it happened to be noon, and the whole Chinese teahouse was very lively.
"Barbecued pork buns, delicious barbecued pork buns!"
"Shrimp dumplings, delicious shrimp dumplings!"
"Preserved egg and lean pork porridge, delicious and appetizing!"
……
The constant clamor in the teahouse made the Wachowski brothers feel very novel, especially the old Chinese men in Tang costumes and birdcages around them, which made them feel as if they were in a foreign country.
"Look, second, isn't this weird?"
"That's the way Chinese restaurants are, birdcages, lanterns, and cheongsam, that's their tradition."
"Perhaps, but why did that mysterious Neo ask us to meet here?"
"There could be two reasons, first, he may be Chinese, like these guys in Tang costumes, from that mysterious country. Second, he may like to eat Chinese food, after all, everyone knows how delicious Chinese food is. Look at me, they're drooling when they eat steamed buns! ”
"Me too, dear brother, why don't we order a plate of shrimp dumplings first, I heard that this thing is even better than pizza!"
"I agree, it's better to have another barbecued pork bun......"
In just ten minutes, the Wachowski brothers' table had already placed more than a dozen plates, and the shrimp dumplings and barbecued pork buns on the plates were swept away by the two of them. The surrounding uncles looked at the pair of "foodie" brothers curiously, and secretly admired each other's appetite.
Patting his stomach, the boss said, "Eat your fill, God, Chinese food is amazing!" ”
The second child said: "Yes, I used to think that hamburgers were delicious, but I didn't expect it to be less than one-tenth of the barbecued pork buns!" ”
"Damn, we've fallen in love with these Chinese foods, and we look like we're going to be going to come here more often in the future!"
"That's a must, why don't we pack some for a late-night snack later?"
"Damn, that's a great idea!"
……
Just as the foodie brothers were studying how to pack Chinese food, a voice sounded around them, "I'm sorry, I'm late!" ”
Oh God, mysterious Neo has finally appeared!
When the Wachowski brothers looked back, their originally surprised faces were immediately stunned, because it was no one else standing in front of them, but their sworn enemies - China Yi, Yi Feiyang!
"How are you?"
"Man, why are you here? As if we didn't invite you! ”
The Wachowski brothers were stunned, even a little confused.
Yi Feiyang unceremoniously pulled a chair and sat down, and then said to the brothers: "No doubt, I am the mysterious Neo you are looking for!" ”
"You, Mystic Neo?"
"No, did I hear me wrong?"
The Wachowski brothers' eyes widened and they looked like they had been struck by lightning.
"Yes, you heard it right, I'm the one who helped you create the script for Hacker 2, mysterious Neo is me, I'm him!" Yi Feiyang said very firmly.
"No way, this is definitely who is joking, it must be like this! Hmm, is there anyone around secretly taking pictures? It's naïve to do this kind of prank, do you know the way? ”
"Yes, don't think that we brothers are fools, how can you be the one who helps us? We're bitter enemies! God, China Yi, don't think that you will convince our brothers of you by such despicable means, yes, don't dream! ”
Yi Feiyang didn't expect that he finally told the truth, but it made the Wachowski brothers react so much.
Speaking of which, he has been hostile to their two living treasure brothers for a long time, and now he has the courage to stand up and admit that he is the mysterious screenwriter who helped them, and it is estimated that anyone will react violently.
"I know that it will be difficult for you to accept me and accept this fact at once, but what I say is true, and there is no reason to deceive you. Besides, it doesn't do me any good to lie to you, does it? Yi Feiyang said.
"Oh no, we're not going to be fooled, your tricks won't work against us!"
"Yes, it doesn't work! Unless you can come up with proof! ”
"We want proof, can you?"
The two brothers sang and harmonized, forcing Yi Feiyang.
Yi Feiyang smiled, "Do you want evidence?" Well, I'll give you proof! As he spoke, he took something out of his body.
"Well, that's the proof!"
"What is this? A pile of waste paper? ”
"No, if I remember correctly, the script you received was a photocopy, wasn't it? And this is the original manuscript! ”
"What did you say?" The Wachowski brothers were stunned and picked up the stack of manuscripts, "You say this is the original manuscript of the script?" ”
"Yes, exactly!"
"Oh, shit!"
"Oh God!"
……
When this fact was confirmed, the Wachowski brothers were amazed.
"How so? How could you be that mysterious Neo? ”
"Impossible, you are fighting with us, how can you take the initiative to write a script to help us?"
"There must be some conspiracy in this, yes, the big conspiracy!"
Faced with the chatter of the Wachowski brothers and their refusal to admit the facts, Yi Feiyang had to shake his head and sigh: "Facts are facts...... The reason why I wanted to write the script to help you in the first place was just to challenge myself, and in addition, I appreciate and admire your directing ability, and only you can make a classic sci-fi film like "The Matrix"! ”
"What? China Yi said that he admires us? Did I hear me right? "Brother Wachowski, you look at me, I look at you.
"You don't have to watch it, to be honest, your directorial ability is stronger than mine, and your experience is richer than mine, from the beginning your starting point is higher than mine, so I have never thought of snatching the name of any talent, it is all news that the media seems to have nothing to do, if I really want to say that I have any ideas, that is, I have always wanted to be able to make friends with you!"
Yi Feiyang's words made the Wachowski brothers embarrassed, look at the minds of others, and then look at the temperament of others, in comparison, the brothers seem to be sloppy and narrow-minded.
"Hi Yi, we want to say......" The boss coughed, his tone a little embarrassed, "Yes, we want to say, in fact, you are also very good!" At least, the scenes you shoot are very good, the reputation is good, and the box office is good...... Also, thank you for helping us write the script! ”
Gathering courage, the brothers finally got the words out of their stomachs. In fact, the Wachowski brothers have always been not the kind of people who are difficult to get along with and arrogant, they used to be provocative in front of the camera, and they were also forced by the media to be unable to do it.
Obviously, the Wachowski brothers did not expect to meet Yi Feiyang in this posture at today's meeting, and they did not expect that Yi Feiyang would take the initiative to show favor and throw an olive branch......
Since Gu, there have been heroes who sympathize with each other, not to mention that the Wachowski brothers and Yi Feiyang can be regarded as not knowing each other.
After opening his mind, the previous grievances and hatreds were swept away, and they were replaced by hostilities.
Now that everyone can afford to put it down, the atmosphere is much more harmonious. (To be continued......)
