Chapter 646 Refusing to Act

A night of absurdity ends and everyone disperses.

Early the next morning, Scarlett and Olsen took a car back to the crew's hotel after washing.

“I think I need to stay away from you in the future, Scarlett, you are just a crazy bitch.

Oh my god, I don’t even know what kind of demon I am, how could I accompany you to do such a thing?”

O Mei, who was wearing a light yellow plaid shirt and jeans, complained.

Scarlett next to her is still wearing the same golden dress as last night, but the dress is a little wrinkled, but she looks radiant. Her charming electric eyes, sexy red lips, and somewhat lazy demeanor all make her look seductive. Extremely human.

"My dear Elizabeth, don't say that. You took the initiative to participate last night. Neither I nor Gu forced you to do anything."

She raised her hand and gently hugged Aomei's shoulders, looking at her with a smile.

"And later on, you were so passionate and crazy. This was the first time I saw this side of you."

"I, I, I drank too much." Olson couldn't refute what she said, so he had to put the blame on the wine.

“Whatever the reason, we had a really great night.

This can be regarded as our common little secret, and I believe our friendship will be more stable in the future."

Olson didn't answer, and Scarlett chuckled and continued.

"Gu is a very good man, handsome, in good shape, funny, young and wealthy.

If he had been an American, we might have been love rivals.

But he is a Chinese, and his family and career are in the East across the ocean.

This means that both you and I can only maintain a friend relationship with him.

Everyone is very busy with their work. Don’t you think it’s a wonderful thing to occasionally take time out to get together and enjoy the rare happiness in life?

Don't pay too much attention to some restrictive things, let yourself go and enjoy life. Life is short, and enjoying yourself in time is the most important."

Olsen turned his head slightly to look at Scarlett, who was smiling, and pursed his lips without saying anything.

Scarlett knew that the other party had listened to some of what she said, and smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

She is only 5 years older than Olson, but she became famous at a young age. She has experienced much more than him in both work and love life. She sees many things more clearly and cares about less and less people and things.

For Scarlett now, life is like a romantic adventure journey. The journey is full of beautiful scenery, and reaching the end is far less important than enjoying the process.

Back in the hotel room, Omei took a short rest.

Compared with other Hollywood stars, Olsen has a much better family background, with a real estate developer father and two billionaire sisters.

The pampered life since she was a child and the higher starting point after entering the entertainment industry have allowed her to get some good opportunities without having to pay too much.

In contrast, she is more conservative than other celebrities in the relationship between men and women.

This kind of thing last night was completely the first time for Aomei. She never thought that she would participate in such a large-scale event before.

After changing her clothes, she stood in front of the bathroom mirror and looked at herself in it. The exciting scene from last night flashed through her mind from time to time, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

She did not reject Gu Wei at all, with whom she had had a close relationship, and she still admired him deep down in her heart.

Scarlett agreed with one sentence that Gu Wei was indeed a most charming man. If he were to be a lover, he would meet all the requirements.

The brief time between the two of them was definitely a wonderful time worth remembering.

But even if her lover shared it with others, she was not prepared before coming.

But after all, things have happened, and there is nothing to complain about, not to mention that the experience was very good in retrospect.

The intensity does not decrease after there is one more person, but the level of stimulation seems to be more.

At noon, the main creators of [Avengers] boarded the departing plane.

In the first class cabin, Donnie was already seated and looked at the widowed sister across the aisle.

"Scarlett, I feel like you look particularly good today, you feel radiant."

"Oh? Really?

Maybe it’s because I haven’t had much rest since I’ve been running around a lot and I slept well last night.” Scarlett replied with a smile.

After returning to the hotel, she put on makeup and changed into a black and white checkered long dress. She really looked more energetic.

"I really envy you. I have been flying everywhere recently. I didn't sleep well in the hotel. I can only go back and recuperate."

"Maybe it's because you've been traveling all over the world lately, and your biological clock is a little out of whack. Just wait until this period of work is over and return to the United States," Scarlett suggested with a smile.

"Maybe. Fortunately, our global promotion trip is almost over, so I can still hold on." Downey shrugged, took the blanket from the stewardess, and prepared to take a nap after takeoff.

Olsen, who was sitting next to Scarlett, covered his face with big sunglasses and curled his lips while listening to the two chatting.

The radiant glow is real, and it’s really due to a good night’s sleep.

For Gu Wei, this night was also an extremely fresh experience.

Although he is a bit of a scumbag and has had relationships with many female celebrities, Gu Wei is really relatively clean among male celebrities of his age in the entertainment industry.

As far as he knows, there are some stars who are glamorous on the surface, but have extremely frivolous activities in private. They have all kinds of fans, peripherals, Internet celebrities, single people, and multiple people. Only ordinary people can't think of it, and they can't do it without them.

No one is a good person, there is no worst, only worse.

If you compare Gu Wei's seemingly scumbag attributes, he's actually pretty good.

This time Scarlett and Omei came, although he was prepared, but in the end it still depended on the atmosphere at the time and everyone's wishes.

It can only be said that foreigners are relatively open-minded, allowing Gu Wei to unlock another double kill achievement.

The filming of [Si Teng] has entered into the later stages. The scenes in Yunnan were almost finished, and the crew moved to Hengdian, Wuxi and other places to shoot the final scenes.

On May 11, the long-awaited Marvel blockbuster [Avengers: Infinity War] was finally released in China.

As can be seen from various social media, there was a huge crowd of people watching the movie at midnight on May 11. Even though it was still a Friday working day, it did not seem to affect everyone's enthusiasm for watching the movie.

On the first day of its release, "Avengers 3" started a crazy harvesting mode in China. It received a box office of 443 million that day, accounting for 96.5% of the total national box office that day.

The next two days also maintained a strong momentum, with box office receipts of 490 million and 330 million respectively.

The box office in the first three days of the first week exceeded RMB 1.2 billion. This figure has already broken the box office record of "Nezha" of RMB 1 billion in three days at the beginning of the year.

After ten years of cultivation, the Marvel superhero series has formed a considerable fan base in China, which eventually fed back to the box office, giving birth to the explosive success of "Avengers 3" Start.

In addition to the rapid growth in the box office, [Avengers 3], as the work of the "Marvel Universe" ten years after its launch, has almost won unanimous praise from ordinary audiences at home and abroad, with a score of 8.9 on IMDb and Douban. The rating is also 8.5.

However, the domestic film market is no longer in the past when only 1 billion to 2 billion could dominate the market. Not to mention the eye-catching 6 billion box office of "Wolf Warrior 2", even if "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" has a box office of nearly 5 billion It’s not that easy to break either.

Moreover, for Chinese audiences, superhero movies have never been a box office hit. Although young people like them very much, their box office appeal is now difficult to surpass those of some theme movies. The single audience of moviegoers is a big problem.

Looking at the real first films in the domestic film market in recent years, they are all films that can mobilize family audiences to watch in theaters.

It is difficult for foreign blockbusters to do this, and older audiences rarely go to see them.

On the 4th day of the release of [Avengers 3], the box office dropped from more than 300 million to 80 million as expected. The trend is more in line with the box office rules of Hollywood blockbusters in recent years. The first week effect was particularly good, but it cannot be maintained in the long run.

Hengdian.

[Si Teng] was not as busy in the later stage of filming. At Da Tiantian’s request, Gu Wei took her out to watch the recently popular [Avengers 3].

"The superheroes actually lost. Isn't this too inconsistent with the logic of normal superhero movies?"

"Don't worry, isn't there still [Avengers 4]? The story is not over yet, and there will naturally be opportunities for the heroes to counterattack later."

Gu Wei put his arm around Jingtian's thin waist and explained with a smile.

"What is said on the Internet is correct. This movie is more appropriately called [The Legend of Thanos]. The final boss is too strong. A set of military fists can defeat the Hulk. Even if everyone fights together, they can't beat him."

Da Tiantian looks at the movie, plot and characters completely from the perspective of ordinary viewers.

“In fact, judging from the setting of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Scarlet Witch, Thor, and Ms. Marvel, who did not appear in this film, all have the ability to kill Thanos alone.

But in Marvel movies, you can't talk about logic. The screenwriter is the biggest, and whatever he says is what it is.

This movie will make Thanos proud for a while, and then he will be defeated when the fourth movie is released."

"Really?" Jingtian looked suspicious.

Unlike Gu Wei, she didn't know anything about the unreleased fourth film.

"Of course, it is an eternal truth that justice defeats evil, and this is also true in movies."

Da Tiantian curled up in Gu Wei's arms and gently rubbed his arm.

"Actually, when I first started making movies, I thought that it would be great if I could play that kind of heroine role one day."

"Like in the [Great Wall]?"

"I hate it~" Jing Tian patted Gu Wei's chest gently.

"They are like Natasha and Wanda, beautiful, capable, and stunningly handsome!

It’s a pity that Hollywood superhero movies will not cast yellow people.”

"I remember that Fan Bingbing appeared as a mutant in [X-Men] before."

"Hers was just for fun, there were only a few scenes," Jingtian curled his lips and said disdainfully.

Gu Wei lowered his head and thought for a while.

"Actually, I have an opportunity to play a superhero. It's not a soy sauce and a cameo, but a serious movie male lead."

When Jingtian heard what Gu Wei said, he raised his head and looked at him curiously.

"Marvel contacted me before and wanted to invite me to star in their new movie [Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings]."

"real?

Wow, Gu Wei, I didn’t expect you to become a superhero. Will you also join the Avengers in the future? "

Da Tiantian was pleasantly surprised by the news told by Gu Wei.

"It's too early to be happy. I just said that Marvel asked me to act in it, but I didn't say that I would take the film."

"Are you crazy? You can refuse such a good role. Is that Marvel?"

Jingtian sat up excitedly. She had been in Hollywood and knew clearly the weight of Marvel movies in Hollywood now.

This is the leading actor in a superhero movie, a good opportunity that no A-list Hollywood star would refuse. It is very likely that he will become an international superstar in one film.

And as a member of the Marvel superheroes, he will also appear in team movies like "Avengers" in the future. It can be said that as long as he appears, his future will be bright.

"Have you read the comics about [Shang-Chi]?" Gu Wei asked rhetorically without explaining directly.

"I've only heard of this hero's name, but haven't read the specific comics."

Gu Wei smiled and stretched out his arms to hug Da Tiantian into his arms again.

"In Marvel's comics about Shang-Chi, there is a villain named "The Mandarin", who is the father of the superhero "Shang-Chi".

The image of "Mandarin" comes from "Fu Manchu", an image designed by Westerners to insult China.

In the earliest comics, Shang-Chi killed his villain father and finally fell into the arms of his so-called righteous Western father.

Therefore, [Shang-Chi], the so-called Chinese superhero, is fundamentally evil. It can be said that he is a superhero of Eastern origin designed to please Westerners.

How could I accept a role with this kind of personality? "

"Then the domestic film market is so big now, and Hollywood is also coveting it. Marvel should also modify the story and characters for the sake of domestic box office." Jingtian also understood what Gu Wei was worried about, but she was still very reluctant to part with such a precious thing. Opportunity.

Gu Wei stroked the sweet hair and said with a smile.

“I have read the script, and it has indeed been changed a lot, and nothing can be seen from the surface plot.

But as I just said, this superhero is fundamentally flawed, and I won’t play it anyway.

Although it is tempting to become an international superstar, I know better that my foundation is still domestic, and it is impossible to take risks for a movie."

"Maybe your idea is right, I'm just a little pity."

Da Tiantian gently leaned on Gu Wei's chest. What Gu Wei said had a big impact on her.

In her opinion, there was probably no actor in China who could refuse this opportunity, but Gu Wei refused.

Gu Wei smiled and said nothing more.

In fact, he understands this very well.

[Shang-Chi]'s position in Marvel is somewhat similar to the popular [Black Panther].

However, domestic audiences are not as easy to fool as Lao Hei.

When [Black Panther] was released, the film was very popular in Western society because of its political correctness.

Especially for the black community, this movie satisfies all their fantasies. Wakanda has countless wealth, high technology that exceeds modern society, and has their own superheroes, which they can only expect in their daily lives. Out of reach.

Now I get spiritual satisfaction from the movie.

However, in the eyes of domestic audiences, [Black Panther] does not look like it is praising black people, but more like mocking them.

A country with super wealth and cosmic-level black technology is actually a feudal country. To choose the king, you have to rely on savage hand-to-hand fighting like the Colosseum, and rely on feudal superstition to "select". It is actually that one side is surrounded by high-rise buildings of the royal family, and the other side is... A dirt-filled slum.

The entire story reeks of "Western-centrism" and colonialism. The Black Panther's father, uncle, himself, and brothers all yearn for the United States and all want to be friends with white civilization.

There is only one "nationalist" in the country of Wakanda, his villain brother. He is the only one who remembers that black people were put on slave ships and transported to North America with a narrow escape.

However, this only knowledgeable person is a narrow-minded, extreme, and hateful villain, the "Fu Manchu" of Africa.

When "Black Panther" was released, black people and African people all over the world went to the cinema to watch the movie. They burst into tears and shouted "Long Live Wakanda" at the end. The level of brainwashing by American imperialism, It’s really the pinnacle.

However, these are completely useless for domestic audiences. After all, we do not aspire to the so-called "Western liberal civilization" and treat the Chinese people by fooling black people. The Chinese people no longer accept Hollywood's ideological output.
