America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 96 Going to Hollywood? Then you must know how to fight!

The next day, Eric woke up from his bed.

My waist is no longer sore, my legs are no longer painful, I feel refreshed and full of energy.

Last night, Zhang Ziyi's coin pool conspiracy was successfully foiled.

This bitch is really ruthless and more daring than those in Hollywood. It is rare to see someone as proactive and bold as her in the European and American circles.

At that time, when I saw the other party taking off his clothes and enlarging his skills, he showed off his body without any concealment.

Eric thought to himself, don't blame me for being merciless, and he just started taunting me.

"Your two lamps are too small!"

"Look at the fat on your waist. You can't stop exercising just because you wear thick clothes in winter!"

"The legs are even more problematic. They are thick at the top and short at the bottom. And why are the knees a little black?"

"There's something wrong with your butt, too. Why is it flat? Have you been sitting for too long? We are born to be lazy!"

"Also, I'm not interested in wearing heavy makeup. Do you know what aesthetic fatigue is?"

…

A series of taunts finally allowed Zhang Ziyi to break through her defense.

A woman who takes the initiative to let you sleep with her must not only be confident in her appearance and figure, but also must have great determination.

But if you are rejected or even ridiculed, the humiliation you endure will definitely be catastrophic, and even the thick-skinned person cannot resist it.

What's more, she is a female star who lives in an environment of praise and boasting all day long.

The information cocoon has been built, and it will inevitably suffer a devastating blow when the fig leaf is torn off.

So Zhang Ziyi finally couldn't stand it anymore, quickly got dressed and left in despair.

As for whether Director Han is not Director Han, it is just an excuse.

However, even though the people were driven away, she still had to wear the clothes she brought. Not to mention, they fit her very well. This proved that Zhang Ziyi had a sharp eye. She was able to figure out his figure from the first time they met. He was definitely someone who has read countless people. level.

At the dinner table, under the surprised gaze of the waiter, Eric used Mandarin and chopsticks skillfully, drank tofu with chili, and ate fried dough sticks and steamed dumplings.

The latter can still be eaten in the United States, but tofu curd is difficult to make, and even the chef he specially hired can't make it very well.

Now having another bowl of it, it really has a different taste.

After wiping his mouth, Eric said: "Susan, keep in touch with Zhou Xiaopeng and Han Sanping, and push forward the progress every day."

"I have made arrangements with the company. The money will arrive today. Please pay attention."

"Okay, boss!"

Eric looked at Chen Xing again: "You can go with Susan to see if there is anything you need help with, or you can go out for a walk. This is your first time in China."

Chen Xing smiled shyly and said: "Yes, although the elders in the family often talk to me about things here, for me, those can only be regarded as stories. At most, I can search some pictures on the Internet, and that's about it. so.

Eric smiled. Chen Xing's experience was the same as that of many second and third generation people born in the United States. China has a strange and mysterious feel to them.

"It's not enough to just listen to stories. I suggest you go to the museum and take a look. You can find the memories of your elders there."

After patting Chen Xing on the shoulder, Eric walked out of Fengze Garden. Susan's Passat was naturally commandeered by him.

"Boss, where are you going?"

"You know I'm the boss?"

The uncle driver grinned and said: "Although I can't understand the conversation between you and Ms. Susan, I can see that her attitude towards you is very respectful. Ms. Susan is my boss, and you are her boss, then you are my boss."

Eric laughed loudly: "I plan to take a look at Yanjing now. Do you have any recommendations?"

"It's the Forbidden City, why bother talking about it," the driver blurted out.

"When foreigners come here, if they don't go to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, then their visit is in vain. If it were during normal times, you would have to queue up, and it would take an hour no matter what."

"There are no people now, it's not crowded at all. When you arrive, hire a tour guide, which is equivalent to covering the Forbidden City by yourself. But I don't know if there are still tour guides now. If not, I will go in with you. We will always People in Yanjing know a little bit."

"Okay, let's go to the Forbidden City. I haven't been to the Forbidden City in 2003 either."

"Okay, please."

The car was driving slowly. Looking out through the window, Eric found that there were obviously many more pedestrians on the road during the day.

According to the population base of Yanjing, even if it is reduced by two-thirds, it can still compare with the flow of people in non-busy neighborhoods of Los Angeles.

When we arrived at the parking lot, the driver asked: "Boss, are you going by yourself or should I take you with you?"

"I'll go by myself. I'll call you when I'm almost done shopping. You don't have to wait here. Do whatever you need to do. Just don't go too far."

"Come on, you're cool!"

When I walked to the ticket office, there was no one there. The conductor was a little surprised to see a foreigner, so he started speaking in less than fluent English.

Eric didn't interrupt her, and waited until the other party issued the ticket before saying thank you loudly.

Then he walked into the Forbidden City with the other party's confused eyes.

After passing the Meridian Gate and the Gate of Supreme Harmony, he then went to the Wenhua Hall. Unknowingly, he had arrived in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

This can be said to be the essence of the Forbidden City. Where the emperor went to court, the dragon chair was high on the steps.

It's a pity that in order to protect the cultural relics, a fence is set up outside. You can't enter, so you can only feel it from the outside.

At this time, he heard voices not far away. Eric turned his head and looked around, and saw two women walking around the corner.

Both of them wore masks and decorative glasses, but judging from their figure and walking style, they should be mother and daughter, or an elder and a junior.

Because best friends in this era didn't leave a message holding each other's hands, I guess like him, they came to the Forbidden City to relax while there were few people.

After a quick glance, Eric stopped paying attention and picked up the DV to continue shooting.

"Mom and Dad, look here and look at the surrounding environment. This is the Forbidden City, one of the representatives of ancient Chinese architecture. It has a history of more than 500 years, which is twice the length of the history of the United States."

"The Forbidden City is one of the most beautiful and spectacular architectural complexes in the world. Only in China can you see such a great building. Bertolucci's "The Last Emperor" was shot here."

"This is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where the emperor works. The square in front of it can accommodate at least tens of thousands of people. The White House is nothing in front of it!"

"Look at this again, here it is"

Soon, the mother and daughter had arrived not far behind Eric.

"Hello, can you do us a favor?"

The mother of the mother and daughter suddenly spoke in fluent English.

There were only three of them in the entire empty square. Eric shrugged: "What do you need me to do, ma'am?"

"It's very simple. Take a picture for us. After all, you are the only one here."

"No problem, what did you use to shoot with? Did you bring a camera?"

"Here you go, it's easier to carry." The woman said, taking out a mobile phone from her bag and handing it over.

Eric took it and looked at it. It was a Nokia 7650. It is a very advanced mobile phone nowadays. In terms of camera function alone, it ranks among the best among all current mobile phones.

He couldn't help but take a look at the mother and daughter. A good mobile phone meant a higher price, which meant that the mother and daughter in front of him were definitely not working-class people.

"Can you use it? I'll teach you, all you need is"

The woman noticed that Eric was looking around on the phone and thought he didn't understand how to operate it.

"It's okay ma'am, I know how to use it, it's just a cell phone, you guys get into position."

Mother and daughter stood side by side, their heads touching, making a cute pose.

Eric frowned, thinking that if you were to shoot a ball with a mask and decorative glasses, your relatives wouldn’t even know it was you if you didn’t tell your name.

After complaining in his mind, Eric handed the phone back after taking the photo and prepared to continue visiting other attractions.

As a result, after taking two steps, the voice of an older woman came from behind again.

"Sorry sir, can you take another picture for us?"

Eric couldn't help but feel amused. It seems that you yourself know how stupid your actions are.

True to his gentlemanly manner, even though it was funny, he didn't mind helping again.

The older woman took off her face covering, revealing a beautiful face that looked like she was in her 30s, with big eyes.

"Feifei, there's no one around now. Just pick it up and feel uncomfortable."

The daughter hummed, and obediently took off her disguise. Her face with baby fat has obviously not yet grown, but it can be seen that she is a beautiful woman, but after all, she is a bit worse than her mother.

The two stood together again, smiling and looking at Eric.

Seeing the faces of the mother and daughter, Eric couldn't help but sigh that Yan Jing was so young that he could encounter this.

He had just seen the other person on TV last night, and he finally understood why he had to wrap himself up so tightly.

"Golden Pink Family" just made her popular, and now the popularity is high.

Yes, the two are Crystal Liu's mother and daughter.

Regarding this mother and daughter, Eric is not like those diodes in later generations, who are either extremely boastful or extremely black.

As an insider, he has neither good feelings nor bad feelings. He is just an actor. He sees far more than fans.

To put it bluntly, there is no white lotus in this circle who can truly emerge from the mud and remain unsullied. That kind of person will never enter the entertainment industry.

As long as you are in the circle, you will more or less do things that challenge morality and law for the sake of profit. The difference is just the level of the bottom line.

Especially since Eric himself has done this kind of thing often, so it seems untenable to accuse others from the moral high ground.

After taking the photo for the second time, Eric returned the phone to Liu Xiaoli and teased them: "My daughter is very beautiful, and my mother is also very beautiful."

It seemed that Liu Xiaoli was very happy to be praised by foreigners. She smiled from ear to ear: "Of course, my daughter is a big star. She will go to Hollywood to develop in the future and become a world star like Audrey Hepburn."

Liu Yifei suddenly pointed at Eric in surprise: "You, you can speak Mandarin!"

Liu Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, and then she realized: "Yes, you can obviously speak Mandarin, why do you still use English?"

Eric laughed loudly: "Look at this face, isn't it right for me, an American, to use English?"

After being scolded, the mother and daughter immediately shut up. What he said made sense. It seemed unreasonable for someone to not speak English.

"Ma'am, I don't know if your daughter can be Audrey Hepburn, but I know Hollywood is definitely not the place for her."

Looking back on their past lives, the mother and daughter seem to have an infinite yearning for Hollywood. Of course, stars all over the world yearn for it, and Liu Yifei is originally an American. This is understandable.

But as a girl who is nothing but beautiful, Hollywood is most in need of this one.

In terms of appearance, Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart and other female stars are no worse than you, and Miss Watson before she was disabled was no weaker either.

In terms of acting skills, the overall strength of Hollywood is higher than that of China, especially for the younger generation of actors, the contrast is particularly strong.

When it comes to figure and sexiness, there is no comparison in this aspect. Liu Yifei is not taking this route.

So what about pureness?

Haha, how many movies have you seen that rely on the innocence of actresses as their selling point?

What proportion? Very little!

Compared to sexiness, innocence has no advantage in the film market.

When innocent actresses appear on the big screen, it is often to highlight their inner sass and sexiness, such as in "Lolita".

In 2008, after filming "The King of Kung Fu", Liu Yifei took advantage of this shareholder trend and decisively chose to leave China and pursue a career in Hollywood.

At that time, I signed a contract with William Morris, one of the three major Hollywood agencies, and conducted a marketing campaign, which seemed to say that I had successfully taken the first step.

But that was just an information gap to fool the Chinese people when the Internet was not yet developed.

As long as you are an actor, you can apply for a Hollywood agency. You just need to submit a photo and fill out a form. The process is simple and easy, and it is not difficult at all.

What followed was three years of being homeless, unable to take off clothes or fight. There was no place for her in Hollywood.

The success of "The King of Kung Fu" depends on Jackie Chan and Jet Li, and has nothing to do with any other characters in the show.

Finally, in 2010, mother and daughter had no choice but to return to China for development.

Until she successfully auditioned for "Mulan", she thought she would finally break into Hollywood. Unfortunately, the film was poorly made and she was knocked out of the world again in an instant.

Staying in China, with the protection of your godfather Chen Jinfei, you can go smoothly. Who will give you resources when you go abroad? There is no such obligation.

"Why am I not suitable for Hollywood?" Liu Yifei asked with some dissatisfaction.

"That's it, why do you say that my daughter can't go to Hollywood just because you are an American?" Liu Xiaoli was also very dissatisfied. Her character has always had a high self-esteem.

Eric continued with a smile: "You can go if you want, but Hollywood only lacks one type of Chinese actors."

"What type?" Mother and daughter asked at the same time.

"As a girl, if you really want to develop your career on the other side of the ocean, you should seriously learn from seniors like Lucy Liu and Michelle Yeoh, learn kung fu and practice your acting skills."

"After learning kung fu, you can go to Hollywood and act in movies? Are you sure?"

"Kung Fu is a stepping stone. If you don't have this stepping stone, you won't even be able to get in."

The mother and daughter wanted to say something else, but Eric had already waved and turned to leave: "I also want to visit the Forbidden City, goodbye!"

"Wait, what's your name? Where are you from? When I get to Hollywood, I can send you a postcard!"

Liu Yifei asked hurriedly. She was still very unconvinced and thought that when she went to Hollywood without relying on kung fu, she would give this guy a hard slap in the face.

Eric didn't answer at all, and slowly disappeared into the crowd of the Forbidden City.
