Chapter 401. 【Erlang God and Bull Demon King】

This carnival dinner is obviously a party between celebrities, and it is also a large-scale celebration under Dream Entertainment, so the big guys get together and look particularly harmonious and lively.

"Director Yi of China has become one of the most influential directors in Hollywood, and with tonight's Spring Festival carnival and celebration banquet held at the same time, this Chinese in the North American film industry has become a director who dares not to be underestimated in Hollywood!" - Los Angeles Times reporter.

"This is where they party, the largest and most luxurious Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, which is also a hotel owned by Hilton Group, a partner of China.com., and it is said that China.com can get a 5% discount for banquets here!" —New York Entertainment News.

"There are countless people who came to the banquet, many of them are well-known figures in Hollywood and even the international film industry, and this time they are supporting together, which can be seen as a further improvement of China's influence!" —Chicago Sun-Times reporter.

As those gossip reporters surrounded the hotel to do live reports, in the hotel, colorful neon lights began to shine, as the host announced the start of the banquet, on the stage of North America's new Latin pop diva Beyoncé affectionately performed piano music, at the beginning of the carnival night, there was this world-class musician, for the stars, guests, played music.

When everyone in the audience was quietly listening to Beyoncé's music, Yi Feiyang in the center of the venue couldn't help but be pleased, knowing that this Beyoncé in front of him had just signed a contract with Dream Entertainment.

As a famous American pop diva singer today, Beyoncé can be said to be the type of goddess who is sexy and perfect. She was originally a member of the American girl idol group "Destiny True Girl", and the group announced its disbandment in 2002. Still loyal to music. Alone in the music industry.

Beyoncé has a musical talent that surpasses the ordinary. A black female singer has a rare beautiful face and a sexy body that is difficult to refuse, and in less than a year, she has miraculously become the focus of entertainment in the United States and even the world, and has won many Grammy Awards.

Many large music companies wanted to sign her to their subordinate, but all of them were in vain, but Yi Feiyang easily got her. Yes, Yi Feiyang knows the key to this, that is, Beyoncé is not satisfied with simply being a pop diva. She also wants to develop in movies, like her predecessor Madonna, a real movie, and a two-way development in the music world.

In fact, Beyoncé has had such a plan a long time ago, for example, she has starred in movies such as "Ace Cheap Spy 3", but unfortunately, these movies are bad, and her existence is just a vase. Therefore, being ridiculed or going back to the music scene to sing. Beyoncé was not convinced, and at this time someone told her. If you want to become popular in the film industry, you must take refuge in a good director. So who is the most popular among Hollywood directors right now? Undoubtedly, it is the Chinese director China Yi! Just won the god-level director of Kate Winslet with "Lust and Caution"!

With such an idea, or the ambition to become popular in the film industry, Beyoncé did not hesitate to accept the olive branch thrown by Dream Entertainment, to be precise, she even took the initiative to send it to the door, and the signing price was half sold and half given.

In his opinion, the scale of his music development needs to be greatly expanded, although there is the king Michael Jackson, but after all, he belongs to the glory of the eighties, the company needs fresh blood to replenish energy, and Beyoncé is undoubtedly the best choice!

Looking at Beyoncé who is showing off her demeanor on the stage at the moment, most of the other female stars in the hall are jealous, including some female movie stars who can sing and dance well and have excellent acting skills.

In their opinion, Beyoncé hugged Yi Feiyang's thigh and wanted to officially enter the film and television industry, but this girl has never had any good acting talent in movies, and can only engage in music, unlike herself, not only has reached a certain level in film and television, but also has great potential in music...... So what about yourself, what to do, well, you must actively move closer to China, and if necessary, hug your thighs directly!

……

Beyoncé's wonderful piano performance kicked off the carnival night, and at the banquet, everyone drank champagne and wine to their heart's content, and all kinds of gourmet fruit plates kept coming up.

After the banquet began, Yi Feiyang's old friend, Gusta of Lionsgate, came late, and after seeing Yi Feiyang, he couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

Yi Feiyang watched the banquet start and said, "You came at the right time!" After speaking, his eyes couldn't help but look at the young man beside Gusta, he was stunned, and couldn't help but say, "Reeves? ”

Keanu. Reeves couldn't help but feel flattered when he heard that the famous Hollywood director in front of him could call his name, and said respectfully: "Yes." Hello Director Yida of China! ”

Yi Feiyang couldn't help but smile and said, "What a great director, now that we are in a carnival night, don't be too restrained, just call me Yi!" Also, I love "The Matrix" starring you! ”

Yi Feiyang didn't expect Keanu. Reeves will come with Gusta. For Keanu. Reeves, he's all too familiar with it.

In fact, when the movie "Havoc in Heaven" was slowly finalized in Yi Feiyang's mind, Yi Feiyang, who had a plan to start filming this movie, began to pay attention to some actors with Chinese characteristics in Hollywood, so as to expand the influence of this play; And Keanu. Reeves is clearly the best of them, and in fact, Keanu Reeves is simply Chinese, although he himself is only one-eighth Chinese.

Yi Feiyang likes or admires this very special Hollywood superstar, and has studied him a lot.

Keanu? Reeves' biological father left when he was a child and was imprisoned for drug trafficking; His girlfriend Sam gave birth to their daughter in 1999, but unfortunately the daughter was stillborn at birth; Two years later, Sam was killed in a car accident; And his sister, who has been dependent on him since childhood, has leukemia; In 1988, he was driving a heavy motorcycle when he crashed into a rib.

Although he earns millions of dollars, he lives in a modest suite; He donated 70 percent of the proceeds from the filming of "The Matrix" to hospitals that treated leukemia. He had no bodyguards by his side. There are no big names on the body. On his 47th birthday. He sat on the side of the road in rags and ate his cake with a birthday candle on it, and when fans came over to chat, he shared the cake with them.

This is Keanu Reeves, an alternative among Hollywood stars!

Yi Feiyang likes him!

Admire him!

Therefore, when he suddenly saw Keanu Revi, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but have a small running god in his mind.

Reeves was a little nervous when he saw Yi Feiyang, and saw that Yi Feiyang mentioned what he starred in. And when the instant hit "The Matrix", I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "After debuting for more than ten years, this series has been filmed slightly better, of course, it's not that I acted well, but mainly because the script was good!" ”

Yi Feiyang couldn't help laughing when he heard Reeves's words: "You are too modest, if you don't act well, even if the script is good, it will be ruined!" ”

Reeves didn't expect Yi Feiyang to be so sure of himself, and couldn't help but be a little happy: "Maybe you're right." But good scripts are hard to find, aren't they? ”

"Hehe, you mean if there is a good script. You're going to star, aren't you? Yi Feiyang took the opportunity to say.

"Ah, this ......" Keanu Reeves didn't understand what Yi Feiyang meant.

Yi Feiyang continued: "It just so happens that I have a play in preparation here, and there is a role in it that is very suitable for you, I don't know if you are interested!" ”

Regarding Yi Feiyang's words, when Reeves heard it, he was stunned on the spot, and the demented Reeves didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say?" Invite me to act? ”

Yi Feiyang spread his hands and couldn't help laughing: "Of course, unless you don't want to!" ”

Reeves said excitedly: "Of course I do!" ”

Reeves has always been a very low-key person in Hollywood, but in the face of Yi Feiyang's unintentional invitation, Reeves shouted excitedly: "Of course I do!" After this sentence was shouted, it couldn't help but attract the attention of the surrounding crowd.

For a while, Reeves realized that his voice was a little louder, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

In 2002, Entertainment Weekly called him one of the "most creative people in the entertainment industry", and even Premiere magazine praised him as one of the "hottest outstanding people under 30".

And Reeves doesn't like to deal with people much in and out of the play, and is completely immersed in his role, because Reeves believes that there is a reward for paying.

Yi Feiyang admired Reeves's spirit very much, and when he saw Reeves shouting out of shape, Yi Feiyang couldn't help laughing, nodded and said: "Now the idea of this play has come out, but the script has not yet been completed, you need to wait patiently, when everything is ready, I will talk to you about this movie again!" ”

Opportunity is often a moment, not to mention that in such a grand carnival night, no matter the star or the director, there are opportunities buried everywhere, and Reeves was lucky to be favored by Yi Feiyang again!

As Lionsgate Gusta, who brought Reeves over, seeing that Yi Feiyang and Keanu Reeves "hooked up" so quickly, he directly threw aside his own leader, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yi, you are so bad, you must know that I originally planned to cooperate with Reeves to make a new film, but now...... God, man is more popular than dead, you snatched him, man! ”

"Hehe, I'm really sorry then, old man! It's better to do this, and I'll toast you with a glass of wine later, and I will make amends to you! Yi Feiyang joked.

"The toast is free, but I want to participate in the planning of your play!"

"Hey, you seem to know that my plan is very big, and you are so proactive?"

"Nonsense! Everyone knows that you want to challenge Cameron's "Avatar", in the face of such a behemoth, can your Chinese film be a small production? After Gusta, he couldn't help but glance at Yi Feiyang.

Yi Feiyang couldn't help but wonder.

Compared with Gusta's "chatterbox", Reeves, who came with him, said very little, but in a simple two or three sentences of chat, Yi Feiyang admired Reeves more, and in many media reports, Reeves always reached a state of selflessness when filming the film market. He doesn't like to communicate with people, with the idea that if you pay, you will be rewarded, and he has been in the Hollywood film and television industry for ten years, and now he is popular with "The Matrix", but he needs a new work to enrich himself, proving that in addition to science fiction films. He can also handle other genres.

And Yi Feiyang now takes a fancy to Reeves's unique Chinese face. And he is also handsome. All aspects of temperament are very suitable for playing an important role in the play "Havoc in Heaven", who? ——

Jiro God!

That's right!

Yi Feiyang chose Reeves to play the Erlang God, the arrogant, Heavenly God of War!

Handsome!

Fighting Tough!

Unique temperament!

In Yi Feiyang's opinion, Keanu Reeves is simply the best choice for Erlang God.

In short, the current Reeves has not yet come out of the surprise just now, and to be honest, came to this banquet. Reeves didn't expect that he would be favored by Yi Feiyang all of a sudden, and the actor superstar who came here, which one didn't have such an idea? They all hope to be favored by Director Yi Feiyang, who held this carnival night, and hope to show their strength in his films and show their ambitions in the film market.

After talking for a while, Yi Feiyang had to take care of the other guests, so he had to say goodbye to Gusta and Reeves temporarily.

Watching Yi Feiyang's back leave, Gusta, who was on the side, couldn't help but pat Reeves' shoulder and said, "Your kid is going to have good luck." ”

Reeves came back to his senses. looked at Gusta beside him and said, "Could it be that Director Yi of China really takes a fancy to me." Let me play the lead role in the next movie? ”

Gusta nodded and said, "Of course, Yi Ke is a man of his word, since he has taken a fancy to you, then, he will arrange a very good role for you!" Yes, you're in luck, lad! ”

Gusta said and pointed to Leonardo in front of him, and said: "See, he, like you, used to become popular with a play, but unfortunately the transformation was unsuccessful many times, until last Christmas, a "Lust and Caution" shocked the world, and his popularity momentum was close to that year's "Titanic"!" And that Kate Winslet, you should know this, she has followed Yi for more than a month, and she also became the first sister in Hollywood with "Lust and Caution"! ”

Reeves showed a look of envy in his eyes, and said: "Everyone knows about this matter, this year is the world of "Lust and Caution", Leonardo and Kate Winslet, the former golden boy and girl, have successfully transformed and become powerful new superstars." ”

Gusta grinned and said, "Don't envy them, man, you can too, as long as you take the tailwind boat of China Yi, you will definitely become more popular!" ”

Hearing Gusta's words, Reeves shrugged and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if I can become popular or not, I just want to cooperate with China Yi, yes, this is my greatest wish!" ”

"Hehe, this is not your wish alone, many Hollywood stars think so!" Gusta blinked wryly.

……

After choosing the "Erlang God" in his mind, Yi Feiyang continued to set off, choosing the Bull Demon King, the Jade Emperor, and Li Jing in his mind.

There is no doubt that Yi Feiyang is eyeing Brother Cheng Long, Zhou Yanfa and Li Lianjie.

Of course, Yi Feiyang will not be stupid enough to directly invite them to join "Havoc in Heaven", on the one hand, because it seems that the opportunity is too easy to come and does not give people a sense of surprise, on the other hand, Yi Feiyang, as a famous director in Hollywood, is too expensive to take the initiative to invite.

Therefore, Yi Feiyang grabbed Li Lianjie and began to talk and laugh while discussing the issue of "Chinese classical masterpieces".

Li Lianjie is very good at studying Chinese classical culture, so he has to answer all questions, compared with Fa Ge and Cheng Long, who were born in Hong Kong, he is a little unable to catch his mouth, so he has to listen to Yi Feiyang and Li Lianjie spray water.

Gradually, Yi Feiyang said his intention to shoot "Havoc in Heaven". Yi Feiyang said very implicitly, saying: "That Cameron has been looking for me to challenge, I just want to make a movie rich in our Chinese cultural characteristics of gods and demons to face his "Avatar" ......"

Li Lianjie's heart was pounding.

Brother Cheng Long and Brother Fa immediately pricked up their ears.

"Alas, it's just a pity, after all, I'm limited in strength alone, if someone is willing to help, then it's much easier!" After Yi Feiyang said this, it was as if he had just seen Li Lianjie, "Hey, Ajie, if I want to shoot this drama, what role do you want you to play in it?" Yi Feiyang asked Li Lianjie in a joking tone.

Li Lianjie was stunned, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "No matter what role!" Even if it's a soy sauce role, it's okay to make a cameo! ”

When Li Lianjie saw Yi Feiyang asking himself like this, he knew that Yi Feiyang was preparing to shoot a new movie, and of course he didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Yi Feiyang pondered for a moment and said: "In this movie, you are needed to play the role of Li Jing, the king of Tota in the gods, the role is not too much, not too little, of course the role is very important, but it is still a supporting role, I don't know if you can accept it?" ”

Li Jing, the king of Tota?

Hearing this, Li Lianjie said without hesitation: "Of course I am willing!" Yi, we have made up our minds, and after we go back, I will push off the rest of the schedule! ”

Before Yi Feiyang could finish speaking, Li Lianjie hurriedly said first.

Yi Feiyang nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll make a decision!" ”

Faced with the dialogue between Yi Feiyang and Li Lianjie, Cheng Long and Fa Ge had already vomited blood with jealousy.

After all, Brother Cheng Long is an old man, so he cheekily took the initiative to say to Yi Feiyang: "It looks like you are going to shoot "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", Ha Luha, that I ...... What do you think of me? ”

"How's that?" Yi Feiyang pretended to be confused.

"Role, you can arrange one at will, I'm not a picky eater!"

Yi Feiyang couldn't help but look at Brother Cheng Long like this.

This top superstar, who has a position as a brother in the Chinese film market, and in the hearts of Chinese audiences, no matter how old or young her boyfriend is, begged herself for a role, which is really funny. (To be continued......)
