For three days.

Yi Feiyang is listless.

When Anne Hathaway saw him like this, she thought it was because of Jessica Alba.

She was embarrassed to ask, so she had to find something to comfort Yi Feiyang. Yi Feiyang knew that she had misunderstood, but he didn't explain.

Anne Hathaway saw that he was still like this, so she allowed him to find something else to do, but no matter what he did, Yi Feiyang was not interested.

In the end, Anne Hathaway had no choice but to borrow the content of the Bible to enlighten him, hoping to use the power of God to dispel the "inner demons" hidden in his body.

In fact, when she first met Yi Feiyang, Hathaway, who was determined to be a nun, wanted to preach to Yi Feiyang, but helplessly, Yi Feiyang was an atheist, regardless of God and Buddha or Jesus Christ, he didn't believe in it. At that time, Hathaway was so helpless that she used "dating" as an excuse to take the opportunity to indoctrinate Yi Feiyang, but it was the first time that she had taught him the Bible so carefully and seriously.

Yi Feiyang didn't care at first, he looked discouraged, until Hathaway talked about how Jesus suffered and became a god, Yi Feiyang suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up, and then asked Hathaway: "Is it true that true warriors have to accept the most severe challenges?" ”

Anne nodded, "Of course, only those who have experienced the test of life and death are qualified to be called warriors." ”

"What are some of the true warriors in history?"

"That's a lot, like the people of ancient Sparta, and the warriors who are not afraid of power."

Yi Feiyang suddenly. Laughed.

At that moment, he suddenly understood why God was playing such a big joke on himself. Because he asked himself to start filming a new play. This play is to promote courage, and the name is "Spartan 300 Warriors"!

That's right! is the war film that was nominated for countless awards in the previous life, and was small and big, resulting in amazing box office results.

In his previous life, the director of this film focused on the small but timeless Battle of Thermopae in the Greco-Persian War, and portrayed the mighty and brave image of the Spartan king Leonidas from a novel perspective, while also unabashedly venting the paranoia of the Americans who regarded the ancient European model as the absolute standard.

Through the film, Americans relished and praised the bravery, perseverance, and selflessness of Sparta in the Battle of Thermopay, and the picture revealed great pride in Western cultural traditions. Analyze from a deeper level. The success of the film really depends on the American audience's resonance with the spirit of Sparta. However, paranoia concealed the flaws behind the glory, and the Americans were reluctant to admit that the superb martial arts, extraordinary courage and martial spirit cultivated by the Spartans from childhood were more out of the need to suppress slave revolts and bully neighboring city-states, and were the deformed products of hegemonism.

"Spartan 300 Warriors" may not cause much controversy if it unilaterally whitewashes the actions of ancient heroes who sacrificed their lives for righteousness and went to the soup to fight for righteousness, but the method of contrasting the excellent traditions of the West by scandalizing and distorting the Persian Empire is indeed biased. Some might argue that the director made the Persian army hideous and ghostly in order to enhance the visual effects, and the hot theater attendance is a testament to the American audience's acceptance of such a design.

In fact, the true face of the Persian Empire is not as evil and terrifying as this movie portrays. On the contrary, it is infiltrated by a variety of mature cultures within the territory. Her culture is already quite developed, creating immortal achievements. And the Persian Empire was full of heroes. A number of outstanding figures have emerged who occupy an important position in the history of the world. For example, Cyrus, and his grandson Darius. Xerxes relied on the solid foundation laid by his father Darius and pointed his whip at the Greek city-states, trying to achieve unprecedented hegemony, showing extraordinary courage and self-confidence. However, "Spartan 300 Warriors" portrays Xerxes as a cheek-piercing, extravagant, and brutal character, which is undoubtedly a deliberate insult to the commander and a negation of outstanding Persian historical figures.

It can be said that the highly scandalized Imperial Guard, the General, and Xerxes I on the screen are precisely the dark projections generated by the hostility and prejudice of the Americans towards the Middle East, so they have provoked a lot of right and wrong, and have been protested by many Middle Eastern countries.

It is undeniable that this is a controversial movie, but it is precisely because of the controversy that it has become a bright spot in the entire Hollywood film industry. Especially at the box office, this low-budget film was even more unbeatable, surpassing many Hollywood blockbusters at the time.

Therefore, in the future history of Hollywood films, this drama is known as the "blockbuster killer", which shows how sharp it is.

Yi Feiyang was inexplicably excited, and sighed again at the sky, could it be said that this is the will of heaven?!

……

In the following time, Yi Feiyang began to carefully create the script of the play "Spartan 300 Warriors".

At the beginning, Anne Hathaway planned to stop him, not wanting him to work so hard, but she couldn't bear Yi Feiyang to continue writing the script secretly. In desperation, Hathaway had no choice but to change his approach and began to support his work during his illness.

Seven days later, Yi Feiyang finally finished transcribing the script, carefully checked it, and handed it to Dures for him to take to the company for review.

Needless to say, the wonderful storyline and very creative character creation immediately conquered everyone in the company, everyone, unanimously approved!

Yi Feiyang has the motivation, he can't help it anymore, let people reveal the news, and prepare for himself - comeback!

……

The news of Yi Feiyang's comeback spread like lightning through the streets of Hollywood, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago...... and the United States as a whole.

"Yi may not be the greatest director, but he is definitely the most beloved and popular director! We welcome him back! —The Washington Post.

"Yi's life legend is far from over, let's look forward to what kind of surprises he will bring us next!" - Los Angeles Daily News.

"There is such a person in the world, that is, he has a good body and appearance, has excellent directing talent, and has a kind and brave heart. He's our great director – Wonder Jan! —The New York Times.

"Easy attitude towards life. The never-say-die spirit. It was destined that he would make a brilliant mark in this era, and now he is finally coming back, like the Terminator, which is exciting. —Miami Daily News, USA.

……

No one could have imagined that Yi Feiyang just muttered "I want to make a comeback", which would cause such a huge reaction from the entire United States.

Upon learning the news that Yi Feiyang said he was going to make a comeback, a large number of media squatted outside his house, but they were blocked by Yi Feiyang's newly hired bodyguards. After all, Yi Feiyang had only been in an accident not long ago, and his figure had just recovered, so he needed a good rest.

Knowing that Yi Feiyang was coming back to filming, a large number of friends in the circle sent their blessings, and Gusta of Lionsgate, as well as Raymond, the boss of Paramount, even came to inquire about the news in person.

After meeting Yi Feiyang, the two went straight to the point and asked Yi Feiyang if he wanted to raise money to shoot this new movie together?

To know the way, Yi Feiyang is a well-known "gold god" in the circle. "Fortune Boy", almost every drama is a super hit. Lionsgate and Paramount, who have worked with Yi Feiyang, have gained a lot of benefits. Now that I hear that Yi Feiyang is going to start filming a new drama in person, of course I hope to cooperate again and make a lot of money!

In the face of Gusta and Raymond's enthusiasm, Yi Feiyang's reply was very simple, "Thank you for your concern, but this drama is not a big production, and the total investment is only 25 million, so financing is not necessary!" ”

Yi Feiyang's refusal made the two of them very uncomfortable, and they felt like they were sending money to the door, but they were closed. However, Yi Feiyang promised that the two sides could cooperate in the release theater chain, and give priority to their overseas distribution rights, etc., which finally made the two bigwigs smile.

……

Just when everyone was speculating about what Yi Feiyang's next movie would be, Yi Feiyang was having a headache for the actor in "Spartan 300 Warriors".

That's right, Yi Feiyang's headache is who will play the Spartan king "Leoni" in the play?

This person must have courage!

You have to be a king!

Must have superb acting skills!

You must also have the spirit of seeing death as home!

Throughout Hollywood, there is only one person who matches these temperaments and spirits, and that is superstar Mel Gibson!

Courage and kingly demeanor, Mel Gibson starred in "Braveheart"!

In the spirit of seeing death as home, Mel Gibson starred in "The Patriot"!

Superb acting skills, Mel Gibson starred in "The Heavens Are Not Over"!

In Yi Feiyang's view, Mel Gibson is definitely the best choice to be the "King of Sparta".

However, this is only Yi Feiyang's plan, and it is unknown whether he can invite the famous Mel Gibson.

……

Mel Gibson is an Irish-American film actor, director and producer. In 1995, in "Braveheart", he created a legendary patriotic hero for the world - William? Wallace, who brought another great "Patriot" to the world - Benjamin? Martin. His angular face, handsome and resolute temperament, and strong and masculine manly nature have made him perfectly dedicated to the world two great patriots who defended the sacred homeland with their lives, and became a top Hollywood movie star with his own strength.

Today's Mel Gibson can be said to be a successful model in Hollywood, starting to "act and direct", with rich experience as an actor and close cooperation with famous directors, it can be said that he is familiar with directing and gets twice the result with half the effort. has been both a starring and a director for many years, and now he simply invests in his own producer, with a fortune of about $900 million.

And Gibson himself, who has been in charge of fortune recently, is a little troubled, it turns out that he listened to his son's words and shaved his head, but found out that he was fooled.

At this moment, in the studio hall of FOX TV.

There are many fans and audience members sitting under the stage, and on the stage, a chubby white journalist is interviewing Mel Gibson exclusively.

Facing the camera, Mel Gibson told reporters that his son told him that a bald head would look better, "I thought it would be cool to be bald, but when I looked in the mirror, I felt like a plucked chicken, and the only good thing was that I wouldn't be recognized when I walked in a crowd." ”

The reporter couldn't help laughing, "No wonder you have been refusing to accept our interviews, it turns out that you are ashamed to meet people." ”

"That's it, man. I was fooled and have to say that my son is amazing. Someone as smart as me. I was deceived by him! ”

"Huh. Then we must interview your precious son another day, maybe his aesthetic is different from that of us ordinary people, isn't it? The reporter laughed humorously.

"Maybe. That kid has shown a deep artistic talent since he was a child, such as wetting the bed and being able to pee out a Picasso! Also, he once drew a portrait of our dog, Harry, and it scared the neighbor's wild cats to the point where their legs trembled! God, this kid must be a great guy in the future, as long as he will be greater than me! ”

Talking about his son, Gibson's face was full of pride.

"Alright. Mr. Gibson, we envy you for having such a smart son, but let's talk about your movie...... For example, after you finished filming "The Patriot", did you get more love from fans? You know, I watched your movie, how can I say it, it's amazing! ”

The reporter is right, Gibson's "Patriot" is indeed great. In this play, he plays a widower with seven children, who does not hesitate to fight to protect his family's safety. A war hero who shouts "Forward" in the midst of war.

The film is huge, spectacular and touching. showed a strong sense of heroism and achieved good box office results. With this film, Gibson further established his screen "hero" image, becoming the most expensive actor in Hollywood ($25 million).

"Thank you for the compliment, friend...... In fact, I feel that I have not acted enough, and if I am given another chance to perform again, I will definitely perform better! Gibson said modestly.

"Ha, if that's the case, will your salary be increased? God, 25 million, I really don't know how long I need to earn to save enough! The reporter made an exaggerated expression, and the audience below laughed.

"So what's next, Gibson, do you have any new plans? ...... about cinema," the journalist instructed.

"There is a ......," Mel Gibson said with a deep sigh and two thumbs stirring, "Recently, a company approached me to negotiate the filming of a drama called "Stealing a Woman's Heart", which is a good name, isn't it?" The storyline is very good, how to put it, I am very tempted. ”

""Eavesdropping on a Woman's Heart"? Oh dear Gibson, don't sell it anymore, can you tell me what this story is about? ”

"Absolutely." Gibson said with a smile, "Dazhi is talking about a self-proclaimed romantic machismo who accidentally suffered an electric shock during a bath, and then his body had a strange ability, and he was able to hear a woman's heart, yes, the voice of the heart...... Isn't it amazing? Think about it, as a man, when you can hear what a woman is saying, what is it like? ”

"So you're interested, aren't you?"

"Of course! Because I'm a normal man, normal men have some whimsical ideas, don't they? ”

"I admit it, so do I!" The white reporter shrugged and laughed. "Otherwise, you're going to call me abnormal, aren't you, buddy?!"

"Hahaha!" The audience below laughed.

……

This TV interview was a success, Mel Jebson's humor, as well as his love for his family and seriousness about his career, gave everyone a good impression. After the interview, he made a short stop, then signed autographs for fans who liked him, took photos with the workers of the TV station, and after doing all this, he was escorted by bodyguards and prepared to leave the scene.

But just as he was about to turn around, a voice suddenly said, "Mr. Gibson, please stay." ”

Gibson looked back, but it was Johnson, the head of the station.

That's right, the Johnson in front of him is the guy who was trained by Yi Feiyang before, and now this guy is much more honest, because the most popular variety shows on FOX TV are all ideas from Yi Feiyang, and they are also created in cooperation with Yi Feiyang's dream entertainment company, so to speak, Yi Feiyang directly controls the lifeblood of the TV station...... What is the lifeblood? Ratings, of course!

Gibson knew Johnson, who was a well-known arrogant guy in television.

However, Johnson who came over smiled and groaned, and then explained the reason for calling Gibson very kindly, "Dear Mr. Gibson, I'm sorry to disturb you to leave, but I hope you can delay a little bit, because a gentleman wants to see you!" ”

"Someone wants to see me?" Gibson was stunned.

"Yes, he's waiting for you in the VIP lounge not far ahead...... Do you want to go over it? Johnson said with a smile.

Gibson smiled, and said that this man is quite big, and asked me to go over to see him, so he said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson, I have a habit of not liking to meet people I haven't made an appointment!" If this gentleman really wants to see me, then please say hello to my agent first and make an appointment! ”

After saying that, Gibson walked away without giving Johnson face.

Behind him, Johnson shouted, "You'll regret it, Mr. Gibson, that gentleman didn't disrespect you, but because he would make a splash when he showed up, and he had something very important to discuss with you this time!" ”

Gibson, who was turning to leave, stopped and turned around. The corners of his mouth curled up with a haughty smile, "What did you say?" Is he famous? ”

"Yes!"

"More famous than me?"

"Yes!"

"More sensational than me?"

"Yes!"

Johnson's three "yes" in a row made Gibson's curiosity blaze, and he sneered: "I want to see what kind of big man he is!" (To be continued......)
