Chapter 303: City of Angels
"This guy is a pervert."
Zhang Chu threw the storyboard script given to him by Wen Ziren on the bed.
After the heroine was selected, Zhang Chu went back to the hotel.
Nightcrawler will be available in a week.
Before leaving, Wen Ziren gave Zhang Chu the storyboard he drew.
The directors I have worked with before, like Du Qifeng and Liu Weiqiang, also drew this, but basically it was either a stickman or a comic style.
But what about Wen Ziren?
Although it is a little sloppy, it is realistic in style.
There is not a single shot, and he seems to be showing violence.
This is obviously a thriller-style movie, but it turned out to be a thriller by this guy.
"Brother! I don't think that person is reliable, too young, in case it ......"
Pony's worries are not unreasonable, "Night Walker" is Zhang Chu's first work to enter Hollywood.
If you mess up, it's not easy to get another chance.
"Okay, I know what you want to say, but that Tracey is right, only this kind of director can listen to me when he is on the set."
Zhang Chu doesn't know much about Hollywood, and he doesn't know how many big directors there are, but if it's Spielberg's kind of thing, expect people to listen to him?
It's better to save it!
Only a fledgling like Wen Ziren, who is eager to get a chance, will be obedient.
Zhang Chu thought, took out his mobile phone and dialed Li An's number.
"Hey, Achu, why did you think of contacting me?"
"Director Li, are you in the United States, or are you ......?"
"I'm in the United States, have you arrived too?"
Li An said with a smile.
After the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he also got the favor of Hollywood, and is currently preparing a movie.
The two chatted for a while, and then made an appointment to meet.
"Brother, you really don't need me to follow?"
Seeing that Zhang Chu was going out, Xiao Ma hurriedly asked.
"No, Director Li said it's around here, you ...... If you want to go out and play, remember to bring an interpreter with you. ”
After arranging the pony, Zhang Chu went downstairs, and Warner specially arranged a car and driver for Zhang Chu.
The driver was a Chinese, said the address, and quickly sent Zhang Chu over.
Li An happened to be nearby, and when Zhang Chu arrived, he was already waiting.
When the two of them met, there was another greeting.
"I contacted Sister Hua before, and she said that you have already taken over a play, otherwise, I am ready to cooperate with you again."
Rian's tone was full of regret.
He is really optimistic about Zhang Chu, and he really hopes to cooperate with Zhang Chu again.
It's just not a coincidence.
"Director Li, do you know Wen Ziren?"
Li An was stunned when he heard this, and thought about it carefully: "I have heard of him, a young man with a lot of ideas, who has made an independent film before, although I haven't seen it, but I have heard many people mention it to me, what's wrong?" ”
"He is the director of my play."
When Li An heard this, he thought about it before he understood what Zhang Chu meant, and then smiled.
"What? Do you think he's too young? ”
Zhang Chu didn't speak, but that's obviously what he meant.
"It's okay, tell me what you think."
Zhang Chu then added Tracey. Clark said it, and he guessed it.
"You're right, action movies still have to be based on the idea of action direction, and if you change to a well-known director, there may be a conflict between you."
Speaking of this, Li An couldn't help but think of Yuan Heping.
He also understands now that the reason why Yuan Heping excused himself to recuperate, and then recommended Zhang Chu.
The main reason is that Yuan Heping and his ideas are not consistent.
"You don't have to worry about James. Wen has no experience, everyone has a first time, I am sure that your cooperation will be very pleasant, and a young director is always more suitable for you than an old-fashioned director. ”
Lean is right to say that.
"You're right, I'm worried."
As he was talking, Zhang Chu's mobile phone rang.
It's an unfamiliar number.
Nodding at Li An, Zhang Chu got up and went to a quiet corner before answering the phone.
"Hey!"
"Hello, is it Zhang Chu?"
This awkward Chinese seems to have just been heard.
"Christina. Henry ......"
What is Heng coming from?
Why do foreigners have such a long list of names?
"You can call me Chris."
It's simple.
"I called, mainly to thank you, I know, you gave me the opportunity."
Scold!
This woman is really not stupid.
"Do you have time now? If it's convenient, I'd like to thank you in person. ”
When Zhang Chu heard this, he wanted to say no, but when he thought of the pair of murder weapons, he couldn't help but feel moved.
Normal men, who don't want to look twice.
"I'm ......"
Zhang Chu reported a location, and then hung up the phone.
"I'm sorry, Director Li, I have a friend here."
Friend?
Zhang Chu has only been to the United States a few times, and he actually has friends here?
Li An didn't ask, and told Zhang Chu what to pay attention to here, especially mentioning the names of a few blocks, and warning Zhang Chu not to go over.
It's a pity that the name is too long, and Zhang Chu, the brocade guard, doesn't remember the memory.
Li An left, Zhang Chu waited for a while, and received a call from Christina, she had already arrived at the door.
When I left the café, I saw a red sports car.
The red-haired Christina was sitting in the driver's seat, smiling and waving at Zhang Chu.
Passers-by looked sideways.
Sizzle......
Zhang Chu clearly heard a burst of inhalation.
Even if it was the second time he saw it, he couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Why do you eat to grow so big?
After getting into the car, Christina immediately kicked the accelerator, and the sports car jumped straight out.
"Zhang, are you coming to Los Angeles for the first time?"
Christina offered to talk.
Fortunately, she knows Chinese, otherwise, the two do not understand the language, I am afraid that they can only go directly to the hotel to express their gratitude.
"No, it's the second time."
It's just that the last experience was not pleasant at all.
Hearing Zhang Chu say this, Christina was overjoyed and immediately felt that this was her opportunity.
Of course, she knows how to express her gratitude most sincerely, but she doesn't want to have a simple transaction relationship with Zhang Chu.
The most important thing is that even if she is really just a commodity that can be traded, she doesn't want Zhang Chu to look down on her.
"As a token of appreciation, how about I take you through the city?"
Zhang Chu smiled, there were quite a lot of tricks.
It is not difficult for him to see through a person.
As soon as they met, with just one eye at each other, Zhang Chu had already guessed what Christina was going to do.
But since this woman wants to be captured, he has no opinion.
It's not dark yet.
"Okay!"
Zhang Chu really wants to see what is so special about the so-called world first.
Especially the city of Los Angeles.
City of Angels.
When he was still in Xiangjiang, Zhang Chu deliberately learned about it on the Internet.
I was in such a hurry last time I didn't have time to look around.
When Christina saw that she had entered her own rhythm, her heart was a little more steady.
Sneaking a glance at Zhang Chu.
is the type that makes her excited, although she knows that the two will not have a result at all, it is just a transaction with a clear price, but she is still looking forward to having some stories with Zhang Chu.
Subsequently, Christina took Zhang Chu to many places in Los Angeles.
How so?
It doesn't feel special.
There are high-rise buildings everywhere, and it is indeed a paradise for the rich.
But, again, there's a lot of mess here.
Only across the street, Zhang Chu seemed to see a completely different world.
On one side is a modern metropolis, and on the other side is what Christina calls a slum.
The name of that neighborhood, Lean had just mentioned.
In addition, it was repeatedly emphasized that you should never go there, it is very unsafe.
Asked Christina to park the car on the side of the road, and although she was puzzled, Christina did it.
Zhang Chu looked at the opposite side, there were not many people, most of them were black, and they were like walking dead.
"Scared?"
Christina, who was already snow-white, was completely bloodless on her face at the moment.
nodded subconsciously, and then said with some embarrassment.
"It's dangerous over there."
"Why?"
"I haven't been there, but I've heard that one of the most dangerous gang strongholds in Los Angeles is here, and you never know who's going to shoot you out of the blue."
When Zhang Chu heard this, he was even more curious.
It's just that there is a Christina by her side at the moment, which is really inconvenient.
I felt that someone was walking towards them, with a fierce face and obvious ill intentions.
"Alright, let's go!"
When Christina heard this, she immediately sighed, stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car sped in.
After driving far away, Christina breathed a sigh of relief and looked like she had palpitations.
The group of people chased them out just now, and Zhang Chu clearly saw that several people were holding guns on their mobile phones.
Is this still the City of Angels?
Doesn't the Internet say that angels all live in heaven?
Maybe it's just a paradise for the rich, and a hell for the poor.
That neighborhood was obviously a slum, and the people who lived there could not get the corresponding educational opportunities, and in the end they could only be reduced to the black club.
"Where are we going next?"
Christina finally stabilized her mind, and after hearing the words, she thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Zhang, do you like basketball?"
Of course, Zhang Chu knows what basketball is.
In the place where Zhang Jingchu lives now, there is a basketball hoop in the small square downstairs, and there are people playing there in winter.
"Today is the first game of the finals, why don't we go and watch the game?"
This is actually involved with the help of the agent, and for this arrangement, the agent also used his connections to get two tickets to the game.
Watching the game?
Zhang Chu is really not very interested in these, but since Christina has brought it up, there is nothing else to do anyway, so let's go and take a look.
"Good!"
Seeing Zhang Chu agree, Christina was secretly happy, and when the game was over and it was dark, it would be more convenient to do something at that time.
With that in mind, he turned around and headed towards Staples Center.
