Chapter 110: Avenue of Stars

"It doesn't matter, follow the customs, I'm just curious, what will I do if I don't buy insurance or don't follow the rules here?" Huo Dongjun took a sip of whiskey, frowned, and beckoned the waiter to help him add two more ice cubes to reduce the strength of the wine.

"Then learn Siyuan Films? Go back to Hong Kong to shoot under the banner of Western films, where no actors and crew will serve you. Zhang Wulang said: "Even if I want to help you, I have to say hello to the stunt man union, and I promise that I took the initiative to give up the agreement to fight for insurance and various safety guarantees to participate in this shooting." ”

Looking at the waiters who were far away, Zhang Wulang pointed to the figure of the other party: "Unless you use these waiters, don't underestimate them, all the employees of fast food restaurants, hotels, bars and even laundries near Hollywood are here to be actors and become stars, and they will give up some insurance agreements in order to win the opportunity to participate in filming, just some, not all, now you should be clear, why do I hire a lawyer, then register a company, and then find a professional producer?" Because we don't understand how Hollywood's crew works, even if it's me, I only know a little bit about it. ”

"Pretty clear. Huo Dongjun took the wine glass handed by the waiter, touched it with Zhang Wulang and said with a smile: "I'll contact a lawyer, okay, change the topic to a lighter one, how are they? I mean that Sean Connery movie?"

Zhang Wulang held the wine glass and smiled: "I don't think that movie will be a big hit, that movie is an action movie, but the script is very bad, although I haven't read the full script, but some of the action scenes I am responsible for make me feel that this is a small-budget system that does not exceed 10 million US dollars, and the most expensive expense of this movie is the salary of five million US dollars to hire Sean Connery as the starring role." ”

"But you're having fun. Huo Dongjun looked into Zhang Wulang's eyes and said.

Zhang Wulang shrugged: "Of course, because although the movie is bad, I do my job well, I get paid, and complete my work on the set according to the instructions of the director and producer, and let them say to me, OK, this is enough, the script and the box office are not my job." ”

"You're not afraid of smashing your signboard, and if the movie hits the box office, some people may say that you will also be part of the reason. Huo Dongjun said to Zhang Wulang.

Zhang Wulang smiled, poured a sip of wine into his mouth and said: "No, this is not Hong Kong, everyone is sad at the box office, when do you see those Hollywood movie stars jumping out to take responsibility because of the bad box office of a certain starring movie? That's not about the movie star, because that's what the director and producer recognize, frankly speaking, the producer is the one who is ready to bear all the praise and vicious words for the movie after its release, if the movie is a big hit, then the producer's resume has a strong and beautiful stroke, if it fails, no matter how many reasons he finds, people in this industry also know that it is he who messed up, so I advise you, don't be a producer. ”

"Hey, I'm asking you about your recent job, and you've now turned back to the subject. Huo Dongjun smiled, played with the wine glass and said to Zhang Wulang.

Zhang Wulang looked at Huo Dongjun: "I'm afraid that you are young and vigorous, and you insist on going your own way." ”

"No, it won't. Huo Dongjun said affirmatively.

"Take you around the scenery, Avenue of Stars, Cinema or Sunset Terrace?" Zhang Wulang drank all his wine and didn't continue, he was just afraid that Huo Dongjun didn't know about Hollywood's situation, and he fell into a deep pit with the idea of making money, since Huo Dongjun said that he wouldn't, that is, no, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come to this point at a young age.

"Okay, will it disturb you to start work?" Huo Dongjun asked with a stern expression.

Zhang Wulang patted Huo Dongjun on the shoulder and laughed: "Mess with me?

Huo Dongjun also stood up with a smile, took out the scattered dollars exchanged in Hong Kong for huàn from his wallet, and paid the tip to the waiter.

"I haven't seen you recently, I called your assistant, she said that you are on vacation to accompany your parents, is there something at home?" Huo Dongjun and Zhang Le walked side by side on the Avenue of Stars, Huo Dongjun asked the woman next to him softly.

Zhang Wulang and Chen Musheng, who had an excited expression, Luo Weilun walked in the front, Da Botai followed Luo Ailing with Xi Rong and Chen Baolian, and Huo Dongjun and Zhang Le walked at the end.

When Zhang Le was questioned by Huo Dongjun, he was slowly looking down at the bronze nameplate in each pink star under his feet and the unique logo underneath, because each nameplate was marked with the name of the winner of the star, and the logo represented the winner's industry.

Hearing Huo Dongjun's question, Zhang Le raised his head and pulled his hair: "What?"

Huo Dongjun shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that I saw that your face was not very good, so I asked casually." ”

"Maybe it's been too tiring this year, so my body is a little uncomfortable with the intensity. Zhang Le smiled at Huo Dongjun, then took the other party's hand and walked slowly to the next signed star.

The Walk of Fame is actually the sidewalk of Hollywood Avenue, at the beginning of the design of this sidewalk, there were a total of 2,500 blank stars, but in just one year, 1,200 were awarded, the speed is equivalent to 10 in January, because there were too many Hollywood filmmakers who needed to be remembered at that time, and after two years, this speed decreased, but it still maintained the speed of one to two in a month, and in a few years, I am afraid that 2,500 stars should be used up, I wonder if the city government of Hollywood will add a new blank star.

"Found it" has been turning from Hollywood Avenue along the stars to Vine Street, Zhang Le suddenly said excitedly to Huo Dongjun pointing to a star under his feet.

Huo Dongjun was taken aback by Zhang Le's excited look, and looked down at the bronze nameplate on the star that Zhang Le pointed to read "auuanau".

"Who is she?" Huo Dongjun asked strangely.

He had never heard of this name, so he could only guess that the other party was a woman from this name.

"Huang Liushuang, the only Chinese movie star who left his name on the Avenue of Stars. Zhang Le said to Huo Dongjun: "Unique. ”

"It's great. Huo Dongjun echoed perfunctorily, he was not as excited as Zhang Le.

Zhang Le squatted down lightly and stroked the bronze name with his hand: "My dream is to one day stay on the Avenue of Stars with this name, or rather, it should be the dream of every artist." ”

"I'm more concerned about the things you took off to spend with your parents some time ago. Huo Dongjun looked at the others who were walking forward, and said to Zhang Le: "It's okay for you to take a vacation for a while, but should you call me and let me take care of you, or if there is a problem at home, let me deal with it?"

Zhang Le looked at the name and shook his head slightly: "It's okay, it's already over." ”
