Hollywood Lover
Chapter 302 Birds and Fish
Boom boom boom!
A knock on the door made Zhang Dongcheng, who was reading the company report in the office, look up.
"Come in!"
The door opened with a creak, and Adaman walked in with a distressed expression. "Smith, the copyright of Brokeback Mountain may require you to do it yourself!"
"Huh?" Zhang Dongcheng frowned, and asked in confusion, "Adaman, what happened?"
"That's right. After Ms. Anne Proulx heard that you wanted to turn her novel into a movie, she has agreed, but before that, I hope to meet you in person!" Adaman explained.
Speaking of Brokeback Mountain, many people may know that this is a movie directed by Ang Lee, but they don’t know that it was originally a novel written by Anne Proulx, and it was published in The New Yorker on October 13 last year. It was published for the first time on the Internet, and won the O. Henry Short Story Award and the National Magazine Award in May this year.
Anne Prax, an American writer, was born in Connecticut in 1935. She studied history at Vermont State University and Concordia University in Montreal. In view of the professional job-seeking limitations, she turned to journalism and wrote articles for various magazines. Writing manuscripts for 15 years and finding time to write short stories. After publishing her first collection of short stories, her editor encouraged her to write longer, so she took some professional writing classes.
Anne Proulx didn't start writing until she was 50. Her works have won almost all the important literary awards in the United States - the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the Faulkner Prize for Literature, the O. Henry Short Story Award, etc.
Especially the work "Brokeback Mountain" that Zhang Dongcheng plans to change, some media even called the book "Western Gay Epic".
If Zhang Dongcheng wants to bring Broken Arm Mountain to the big screen, he must obtain the consent and authorization of the original author.
"See me?" Zhang Dongcheng was a little puzzled. He really couldn't figure it out, why did this aunt want to see him even though she had handed over the copyright to him.
"Okay, I agree. Did Ms. Annie tell you the time?" Zhang Dongcheng asked Adaman as he rubbed his cervical spine, which was sore from bowing his head for a long time.
"If it's convenient for us, Ms. Anne said that she can do it at any time. She is looking forward to meeting you!" Adaman said with winks. What interesting things will happen after the lady of the article.
I have to say that Adaman is really a bit of a bad guy.
"Then let's do it this afternoon. Help me contact Ms. Annie, and I'll put it up at three o'clock!" Zhang Dongcheng ordered Adaman after looking at his schedule of activities for today.
"Okay, that's no problem. But Smith, do you need me to accompany you?" Adaman asked with some expectation. It would be a pity for Adaman if he could not witness this exchange in person.
"Are you with me?" Zhang Dongcheng gave Adaman a strange look, and asked with a vigilant expression: "What conspiracy do you have?"
"Oh! Smith, you have wronged me!" Adaman spread his hands and said in an aggrieved tone, "We are good brothers. Do you think I have such an impression in your heart?"
Although I don't know what kind of idea this guy Adaman is playing, but Zhang Dongcheng doesn't believe that this guy will be unprofitable. Furthermore, now is the preparation time for Brokeback Mountain, and Adaman is busy.
"You really want to go with me?" Zhang Dongcheng didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly smiled strangely.
Adaman shuddered and said, "Oh, Smith, you must be plotting against me, right?"
"No, how could it be. We are good friends! Isn't it?" Zhang Dongcheng blinked, with an expression on his face that I was lying.
"Oh! No! I feel it, you must be lying to me." Adaman was a little nervous.
"Come on, Adaman. I think it's very necessary for you to come with me to meet Ms. Annie. Think about it, and maybe it will have a different kind of publicity effect for my new movie Brokeback Mountain. Oh! Thinking of this, I will I can't wait!" Zhang Dongcheng seemed to be performing a stage play, and his performance was extremely exaggerated.
"****! The devil wants to go out with you!" Adaman said unluckily, and he finally understood what Zhang Dongcheng meant. Just now, I was patronizing my curiosity and wanted to know the topic of Zhang Dongcheng's exchange with Ms. Anne. But he never thought that now is the time for Zhang Dongcheng to have an affair with Adaman.
Yes! Zhang Dongcheng has indeed had an affair, and it's still with Adaman, a black man! It's a very serious scandal, and I don't know how the heads of those reporters grow. To think that Zhang Dongcheng is dating Adaman!
In particular, Gavin from Los Angeles Media News did not catch Zhang Dongcheng at the press conference last time. Instead, he made himself a fool of himself in front of countless reporters. How could he be reconciled to this.
These days, no matter how careless Zhang Dongcheng and Adaman were, they would still find the Los Angeles media reporters secretly following behind them.
In case Zhang Dongcheng and Adaman went out together, something was really secretly photographed. Then this homosexual craze that has not yet subsided is probably going to be hyped up even more.
"Smith, I think you should go by yourself!" After leaving these words, Adaman fled Zhang Dongcheng's office like flying.
During this period of time, he felt as if someone in the whole world was watching him, watching his and Zhang Dongcheng's every move at any time, even if there was a little intimate movement, Adaman would be nervous for a long time.
After watching Adaman leave, Zhang Dongcheng shook his head amusedly. Once again, attention is turned to the company's statements.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Dongcheng drove Patricia towards Anne Proulx's temporary residence.
Now that he is with Patricia, Zhang Dongcheng doesn't care at all whether he is exposed to the spotlight, and he even looks forward to it.
At least having an affair with a beauty like Patricia is much better than having an affair with a man like Adaman.
Well, sometimes Zhang Dongcheng is really willing to make some scandals, such as now...
After arriving at Ms. Anne's residence all the way, Zhang Dongcheng and Patricia knocked on the door with the gifts they bought on the way.
"Come right away, please wait a moment." There was a vicissitudes of life in the room, but a voice full of confidence.
After a while, a gray-haired woman opened the door.
When her gaze fell on Zhang Dongcheng's body, her eyes lit up subconsciously. But after seeing that it was Patricia who accompanied Zhang Dongcheng, she seemed a little disappointed.
These emotional changes are only a momentary event. If Zhang Dongcheng hadn't been paying attention to the woman in front of him, he might not be able to detect the change in her mentality at all.
As a director, observing changes in human emotions is almost a basic skill.
"Oh, Mr. Smith, hello, you are welcome to be a guest!" Annie politely let Zhang Dongcheng and Patricia into the room.
After arriving in the room, Zhang Dongcheng casually looked at the scene in the room. The simple decoration style and plain furniture are really unimaginable. This is the residence of Anne Proulx.
But considering that she doesn't often live in Hollywood, Zhang Dongcheng is relieved again.
After placing the gift on the coffee table, Zhang Dongcheng asked Annie: "Ms. Annie, I heard that you want to see me. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Zhang Dongcheng asked politely. He had already noticed that since he entered the door, Annie's eyes had never left his body. If he hadn't known that she didn't have any strange hobbies, Zhang Dongcheng might have thought that she was interested in him.
"Sorry, Mr. Smith, I was a bit abrupt, and I hope I didn't scare you. Here's the thing. May I ask where the poem you read aloud at the press conference came from? Or did you write it yourself? "Anne Proulx asked Zhang Dongcheng in a voice that was almost trembling with excitement:
"You know, before I wrote, I have been engaged in writing work, and I have a lot of knowledge about poetry, but I have never heard the one you recited at the beginning. This poem is placed on any lyricist It is not inferior in the collection of poems. This poem strips the despair of men and women in secret love to the most untouchable secret end. The kind of happiness that can be obtained as soon as you reach out, you will miss it forever because you don’t reach out. It's simply beautiful."
Annie kept telling her love for this poem excitedly, and stared at Zhang Dongcheng with burning eyes, hoping to get the exact news of this poem from her.
Zhang Dongcheng didn't know how to answer her question for a moment. He has only seen this poem from the complicated future information, because it is so classic, and the wonderful words, almost remember this poem in his mind. Only then did he recite subconsciously in the original situation.
Those future messages were all-encompassing, and Zhang Dongcheng was not given a search engine so that he could find whatever he wanted. This poem was also memorized by accident.
The poem is written down, but the author Zhang Dongcheng can't explain it clearly.
Although many people think that this poem comes from the famous Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore, he even pointed out that it came from the collection of birds. But in fact, this poem has nothing to do with Tagore.
It was completely far-fetched and abruptly placed this poem under his name.
The real author of this poem is no longer available, but it first appeared in a passage in the novel "Single Bed in the Purse" published by Hong Kong female writer Zhang Xiaoxian in January 2001, "The furthest distance in the world, It's not the distance between life and death, it's not the distance between heaven and earth, but, I stand in front of you, but you don't know that I love you."
----
Maybe everyone has their own views on birds and fish, but our understanding comes from Baidu, and Baidu is not omnipotent, it is all right, so in this book, let birds and fish be listed as the protagonists, hehe!
