The black Cadillac slowly parked in a small parking lot in front of a restaurant.
In the back seat of the car, a middle-aged man with a little Jewish characteristics, a fat head and big ears, looked at it and showed a seemingly honest smile:
"Mr. Zhou's restaurant, it seems that this kid likes Chinese food. "
As he spoke, he pushed the door open and got out of the car.
At the door of the restaurant, Martin's agent Jeff was already waiting.
Seeing the fat man coming over, he hurriedly stepped forward, and the two came to a big hug, like good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
In fact, the two basically did not intersect before this, although they were all mixed in this circle, and they couldn't see each other when they looked down, but they could only barely be regarded as nodding friends.
"Harvey, Martin is already waiting in the box, let's go inside. "
"Wow, I can't wait to meet our little genius, when I saw this script, I was simply shocked, an eleven-year-old child can write such a script full of loneliness and family affection, this is worthy of genius!".
Harvey Weinstein complimented Martin in front of Jeff without blushing at all.
Before he floated, his reputation in Hollywood was actually not bad, gentle and frugal.
So, human nature is only revealed when you reach the top.
Because at that time, there were very few people around you who could restrain you.
Mr. Zhou's restaurant is one of the few restaurants in the United States that has a private room, probably because of its Chinese origin.
Martin decided on the Primavera Room, a banquet hall with a very magnificent decoration that conforms to the Chinese style of the American people.
Pushing open the door of the box, Harvey Weinstein saw a handsome young man with a calm temperament get up from the sofa and walk towards him.
This is Martin Meyers, more handsome and temperamental than he looks in the pictures!
A smile immediately spread across Harvey's face, and before Martin was about to come over and shake his hand, he took two steps forward and stretched out his hand first.
"You're Mr. Martin, hello, I'm Harvey Weinstein from Miramax Films. "
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Harvey Weinstein. "
Jeff then walked in and smiled, "Sit down and talk!".
Martin smiled and guided Harvey, the guest, like an adult, to sit down before returning to his seat.
Harvey was amazed in his heart, this kid was really ...... Unlike children, are geniuses precocious?
After the three of them sat down, Martin was not in a hurry to talk about the script, but rang the bell and beckoned the waiter.
The waiter has black eyes, black hair and yellow skin, he should be a Chinese, judging by his demeanor and temperament, maybe he is still an international student working here.
From the early 90s to 2010, Chinese college students regarded studying abroad as the best way out, and many college students from China's top universities ran to the United States from the other side.
Then I found that it was not as beautiful as I imagined, with difficulties in employment, rising ceilings, and racial discrimination...... But the people have already come, and they are embarrassed to flee back to China in disgrace, so they can only grit their teeth and insist.
For the sake of face, they also have to try to beautify the situation when communicating with relatives, friends and classmates in China to show that their choice is right.
Martin and the waiter had a simple chat in Chinese, this is indeed an international student, graduated from the top Mizuki University in China, but when he came here, he could only find part-time jobs such as serving dishes and dishwashers, with no connections and no friends.
Like him, international students from China have basically walked out of three paths-
The first is to curry favor with the local white students and serve as followers to others, so as to obtain some resources.
Second, their own people hold a group, try not to contact with the locals, and play their own games, this group of people basically have roots, money and resources, and life is not worried, so there is no need to bow their heads.
Third, he has no roots, and he can't pull his face to mingle in circles, so he can only rely on himself. Most of these people will work in Chinatown or other Chinese restaurants during their studies, endure exploitation, and it is difficult to find a job after graduation.
Of course, these are all of the first generation of immigrants.
If it is those second-generation immigrants, whose parents have worked hard to build the country, and the language and customs have been completely Westernized, that is, what we commonly call banana people, this kind of situation will be better, but it is also limited.
All in all, if Chinese immigrants want to make their way in the United States, they must either be connected, outstanding, or willing to be dogs!
The waiter in front of him, who graduated from Mizuki University, is obviously not, so he can only serve dishes.
(PS: In fact, there is a fourth way, but the author does not dare to write it.) )
After some conversation, the Chinese waiter left the private room with a surprised face, this American kid speaks Chinese too well!
Harvey also looked at Martin in surprise and said, "Martin, you can speak Chinese!".
"Yes, a little bit, you know "Kung Fu Panda", when I first wrote this book, I thought that the main characters were - lions, cheetahs, dogs, cats, and finally chose pandas, just because I like Chinese culture. "
"You're too modest, looking at the way you chatted with that Huaxia waiter, it didn't look like just a little bit. "
Martin's shy smile, with the shyness of a young man, made Harvey's heart happy, it seems that compliments are useful, no matter how talented Martin Meyers is, after all, he is just a child.
But soon, he regretted the idea.
After a series of Chinese dishes with American characteristics were served, the three began to communicate about the script.
Mostly Jeff and Harvey talked, but every time they talked about the key point, Martin would interject, and inexplicably, Harvey was at a disadvantage in the negotiation.
This kid is a demon!
Harvey wiped the cold sweat from his head.
"Martin, can you tell us about your motivation or inspiration for writing this script?"
After all, Harvey is an old man, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he slyly changed the topic.
Martin smiled slightly, wanting to change the subject, but there was no way to !!
He showed a look of remembrance, and said slowly, "The original intention?inspiration?".
"Let's put it this way, Mr. Weinstein, you should also see that although I positioned this script as a thriller and suspenseful subject, in fact, this is actually a family ethics film with warmth. "
"You know I've seen a lot of movies that I shouldn't be watching at my age, such as horror movies — American, Europa, Dongying, Kimchi Country, Thailand, Xiangjiang, etc., and I found that there is a big difference between Eastern and Western horror movies. "
"Western horror films use more plasma and brutal destruction of human bodies to make the audience feel frightened, while Eastern horrors will pay more attention to the creation of atmosphere and environmental horror. I classify the first category as visual horror films, and the second category as psychological horror films. "
"So I thought, can we Westerners accept this kind of psychological horror movie?".
"At the same time, when I watched horror films about Hong Kong and Thailand, I realized that there are many other elements that can be added to horror films – comedy, family, action. "
"So I added a little bit of family to the script. "
"After the first draft was completed, I read it myself and felt that something was missing. "
"I was watching Sherlock Holmes at the time, so I added some suspense to it, and that's how I finished the script. "
(Brothers, please take care of it, evaluation, flowers, collections, and rewards are all here, thank you.) )
