Lisko’s American Life

"Mr. Li, here, Mr. Bell is waiting for you over there."

Seeing the appearance of a real important person, everyone returned to their previous gentlemanly appearance, and smiled kindly at Lisko. When some people passed by him, they still whispered their identities.

Under the guidance of the staff, Lisko kept passing through the crowd, enjoying the attention of everyone. When he got to the front of the reception, the crowd became less and less. He patted lightly and waited by his side On the back of Zhang Li's hands, he tidied up his somewhat messy attire, and with a confident smile on his face again, he held his wine glass and walked towards the place where the few people who were chatting could clearly be seen to be important people.

"Mr. Li, we were talking about you just now, welcome to our reception, how are you doing recently?"

An old man with gray hair and expensive evening gown came to Lisko's side, patted his back affectionately and asked.

"Sir Bell has been very good recently. I had a good trip in Berlin a few days ago. I have to say that this city has touched me a lot. The arrival of peace is hard-won. We should cherish everything we have now. and every day."

The old man's name is Bell, and he is a figure at the vice-chairman level of the British Performing Arts Association. This association has great power in the UK. Not only is it in charge of the lifeblood of many film and television production companies, but it also owns all British dramas and films. Practitioner profiles and accessions.

The reason why Lisko was very familiar with the other party and knew the other party's name was because the old man had been friends with his mentor for many years, and he had also hosted the party when he came to the United States with his mentor.

When I decided to attend the reception this time, I saw the signature of the other party, and immediately decided that I should attend the reception. No matter in terms of identity or status, the other party was an out-and-out senior of me, and this The old man also has good literary attainments. He was a literary critic in his early years, and later turned to the film and television industry.

Moreover, he has also made some unexpected achievements in the film and television industry, and was successfully awarded the title of knight by the Queen of England.

"If you think Berlin has brought you a lot of inspiration, then you should go to London. Compared with Berlin, our London has a long history, except for the bad food and the ghost weather that always rains. .”

The old man is quite interesting, and he is also very attentive when he complains about his country and the city he lives in. He hits the key point in a hurry. As we all know, London is 365 days a year, and almost half of the time is shrouded in rain. And the food of their country is even more difficult to evaluate.

"By the way, Sir Bell, this is my wife Zhang Li, who is also an actor. I hope you can take care of her in the future film and television career."

Old Bell looked at Zhang Li, who looked like a plum blossom, and immediately showed a bright smile on his face. He stretched out his hand, took Zhang Li's palm, and made a gentleman's kiss on the back of the other's hand. .

"Ma'am, are you from Huaguo? I like Huaguo, a beautiful country, full of various miracles and stunning beauty, and you have a unique beauty of Huaguo. Li can find you like this My wife, you are really lucky enough to make me jealous. And I have seen your award-winning work in Cannes last year, and I have to say that your acting skills are also very good. I believe you can also reap what you deserve at this Berlin Film Festival. honor."

Old Bell's praise made Zhang Li narrow his eyes happily, covered his mouth with his hands and smiled slightly, told the seniors around him that he was drunk, and then kissed Lisko's face, I turned around and went to the women's area on the side, leaving time for several men to discuss their careers.

After Zhang Li left, the atmosphere around the few people became more relaxed. After asking about Lisko's physical condition, Old Bell happily drank the champagne in his glass. At his age, he can often listen to It is also a blessing in life to hear news of the health of a familiar friend.

After a few chatters without haste, the topic finally came to the topic of this time. Old Bell straightened his face, and then asked about Lisko.

"As far as I know, it seems that the film and television adaptation rights of your works have not been authorized several times, and it seems that several works in recent years are still in your hands? I don't know if you have the honor to have some of them Granted to me, all the actors in the British film industry now yearn to go to Hollywood to develop, and there are fewer and fewer excellent actors staying in the country, and the domestic film and television industry has also begun to slump. We urgently need some outstanding works to improve the situation.”

Perhaps it is because both the United States and the United Kingdom use English as the main language. Many British actors are very popular in Hollywood. The more civilized ones are the well-known British Rose. In addition, British actors have unique and delicate acting skills, and they are used in many works. Can contribute their own strength, so every British actor can quickly seize the opportunity after coming to Hollywood, and then become famous.

There are such examples first, so after more and more young actors have made some achievements, the first choice is always to leave their country and go to Hollywood to develop. After all, as the center of the world's film and television industry, Hollywood will always attract all film and television actors. From the perspective of practitioners, the achievements that can be obtained here are very different from the achievements obtained in this country.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Since Lisko started publishing his first works, he has been keenly aware of the energy and value contained in these works. Like all famous writers, he attaches great importance to his copyright and will not easily Granting it to others, after all, the kind of granting to some third-rate film and television companies that adapt works that are completely inconsistent with the original will be resisted by all book fans, and this will not be conducive to future copyright sales.

So so far, except for the first few works that have been awarded to the eight major film and television production companies in Hollywood, there has been no action or award in this regard. In the past five or six years, except for the domestic film and television companies that they hold shares in For the adaptation of Blood Road, other companies could no longer obtain any authorization from him.

However, I still have a deep understanding of Bell's character and behavior style. The other party is full of the seriousness and meticulousness of a British gentleman. If he is awarded the adaptation, he should not have to worry about trusting others, and he has a previous mentor. It is really difficult to refuse in Lisko.
