Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

The hustle and bustle of discussions made the whole room feel warm. The severe winter in the British Isles seemed to be temporarily forgotten outside the window. Those smiles, those eyes, and those discussions were slowly rolling and surging. It seems to be dancing on the surface of the skin.

Wen-Jiang stood beside Max and Forest, listening intently to their conversation, interjecting from time to time to express his views, to ensure that he would not be excluded from the conversation, although a little jerky, but not out of place , the overall atmosphere is pretty good.

Certainly not because he couldn't adjust to the atmosphere. Since he entered the industry in 1986, he has also been in the film industry for nearly two decades, starting as an actor, and then in 1994, he switched to director and filmed his first work, "Sunny Days", which has been in the past for these years. The world cinema occupies a place.

Although it is said that as an actor, Wen-Jiang has also achieved a lot of good results; but it is the directorship that really makes him open up in the film industry. In 1994, the "Sunny Day" was successfully shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, and the actor Yu-Xia became the youngest Venice actor in history; in 2000, he landed in the Cannes film with "Ghost / Son / Come / Come". Festival, won the Grand Prix of the Jury, and then went to Venice in 2007 for "The Sun Also Rises".

Just this year, next February, he will also take "One Step Away" to the Berlin Film Festival, the main competition section.

In short, Wen-Jiang travels around the world frequently, and has a very good reputation overseas. Every time he goes to the film festival, he can always make many friends, and communication in English is not a problem at all - in fact, he does not even have an accent. As obvious as it might seem, there is no reason to be a social blocker.

At this moment, the real reason why Wen-Jiang seems a little absent-minded and detached is because he has other things on his mind.

In addition to choosing Gareth Edwards as the director and Felicity Jones as the heroine, Katherine Kennedy is also committed to making "Rogue One" more diverse. Forest Whitaker is black and Li Z-Amad is from the Middle East, and Max-Mickelson is from the Nordics. In addition, she also chose two actors from China, hoping to present the rich and multicultural background of the entire space.

Just like choosing Felicity as the heroine, multiple settings can win more resonance among young audiences-now is no longer the era when white audiences dominated the absolute mainstream 20 years ago; Expansion and need for richer elements.

More importantly, Kathleen Kennedy hopes that the "Star Wars series" can knock on the door of the Chinese market-since Renly has been chosen, why not give full play to Renly's unparalleled appeal in the Chinese market? Compared with the Marvel series, the "Star Wars series" has a weak mass base in the Chinese market. Catherine has no way to let "The Force Awakens" accommodate the Chinese market. Then, the rumored "Rogue One" has become the most popular. best choice.

In other words, guinea pigs.

So, Wen-Jiang and Donnie-Yen (Jen/Zi/Dan) became the final candidates. The two actors can stand out from the fierce competition, on the one hand, the public relations ability of the agent, on the other hand, their own Chinese appeal, in addition, their own ability is also an important reason.

The reasons why Wen Jiang and Tony Zhen joined "Rogue One" are slightly different, but there are similarities. First, it is indeed a rare opportunity to participate in Hollywood works; second, the "Star Wars" series is very important for their generation Said, it also has the effect of enlightenment; thirdly, it may also be able to open up a situation for the cause.

Perhaps, Tony Zhen, as an action actor, pays more attention to the third point; while Wen Jiang, as a director, he emphasizes the first point more, hoping to learn from the most mature and high-end film production industry in the world, Be the nutrient and fertilizer for your next creation.

Whether it's the former or the latter, it's very important to get along well with the crew members, so Renly has become an inescapable link.

How was he supposed to get along with Renly?

That's what Wen-Jiang is thinking about right now.

If it was Robert Downey Jr., then Wen Jiang would not be troubled at all, because Robert Jr. doesn't have any special feelings for the Chinese market - the Marvel series has created so many good results at the box office level, and Robert Jr. has never Wen-Jiang only needed to treat Robert Jr. as another ordinary co-actor, a pure working relationship, and that was enough. As for Jr. Robert Jr.'s influence in Hollywood and Jr. Robert's understanding of movies, he won't care.

But this is Renly.

Renly who speaks fluent Chinese, Renly who visited the Magic Capital twice before and after, and Renly who has a special affection for China - then things will be different.

The problem is that there are countless people who want to get to know and get close to Renly. Wen-Jiang doesn't want to be regarded as a "bounty hunter" who comes for profit. This also means that scale and proportion are very important. If he didn't pay attention, things might have been different: He had heard the rumor about Chris Wu.

The thoughts are so complicated that there is a mood of worrying about gains and losses, which makes Wen-Jiang very irritable, he is such a proud character, he can't accept his indecision and sway at all, he is even a little irritable, "simply Forget it." That's the thought that popped into my mind.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could see that Tony Zhen was taking the initiative to attack, walking in the direction of Renly. Wen Jiang became more and more irritable.

He turned his head and stared at Forest, out of sight—anyway, it would be shameful to take the initiative to greet him in his current state.

"Anyway, he chose the magic capital instead of the imperial capital for his two visits. It seems that he likes the southern culture. I guess he can't talk to me. It's unnecessary."

Quickly cut through the mess, Wen-Jiang made up his mind like this, and didn't turn his eyes away again. The chat with Forest and Max also became obviously active, and the troubles were left behind, and the mood was relaxed again, and the smile also climbed again. Mouth up.

"...Totally agree that of all the works so far this year's awards season, Renly's performance is the most comfortable. The advancement and transformation of the whole level is very good. I even watched the film four times over and over again, just to study Renly's performance. . But my personal favorite is not the last scene, but the three scenes where he gets along with that little girlfriend, the eyes are handled very well!"

Max was not stingy with his words of praise, even if Renly was not present, he conveyed his sigh sincerely.

Forest, who was the first to bring up such a topic, showed a smile, "More importantly, his focus and dedication. To be honest, I haven't seen such a young man who loves acting in a long, long time. So, my agent at the time Say, how are you, are you interested in collaborating on a work with Renly? I just nodded and agreed without even asking about the subject matter and characters."

"Me too!" Max's eyes brightened immediately: he even participated in auditions for this role, of course, not open auditions, but internal interviews.

"Look, we're so rude, have you said hello to Renly?" Max only noticed Wen-Jiang, who was silent, and asked.

Wen-Jiang's smile was slightly jerky, "No...no no, not yet."

"Oh, then please let me introduce you." Forest took up the topic enthusiastically. "Trust me, Renly's wit and humor will definitely make you fall in love." Then he smiled at Max, "So he can always win the hearts of women, and we can't even be jealous."

The two exchanged glances and both laughed.

Forest and Max had already taken steps in the direction of Renly, Wen Jiang was slightly behind, stood there and sighed, but after all, there was still no mother-in-law, so they followed in stride, and saw the initiative at a glance. Renly turned around, and his eyes met unexpectedly.

"Grass."

Wen-Jiang cursed in his heart: The two big men looked at each other, where the hell is this?

But then, Ren Li showed a polite smile and nodded lightly, and the slightly unexpected eye contact became logical.

Wen-Jiang spit heavily, raised his hand, rubbed his head randomly, strode up, and then said hello directly and forthrightly, "Hey, Renly, I'm Jiang, nice to meet you. ."

Forest jokingly said, "It seems that we don't need an introduction at all."

"To be precise, I confirmed every name on the cast list before I signed on, so I don't need to introduce everyone." Renly made a serious joke, and Max and Wen-Jiang instantly Capturing the humor, both laughed.

But Forest and Tony couldn't react in time.

Then Renly said again, "I'm Renly, and it's an honor to meet you. I personally like 'Sunny Day' a lot, and I'm also very impressed with the performance of 'Red Sorghum'. Regret The thing is, after you switch to a director, you seem to lose interest in acting and don't continue to dig."

Although it is "criticism", it is not offensive, but more expressing a sense of embarrassment, which makes Wen-Jiang show a surprised expression, "I didn't expect you to hide your hand." Everyone knows Lan Li is very familiar with Chinese culture, but Wen-Jiang is still surprised, "Are you a movie fan like Quentin?"

Quentin Tarantino is undoubtedly a super fan, among them, his obsession with movies in China, Taiwan and the three places is also famous.

"I may not watch as many movies as Quentin, but indeed, I am also a movie fan, a movie-loving audience." Renly admitted frankly, "Obviously, Chinese movies in the 1980s and 1990s did stay. It has left an indelible mark, and no fan wants to miss that golden age."

Wen-Jiang showed an expression of sudden realization, smashed his mouth, and said meaningfully, "Ah... I finally know why you always go to the magic capital instead of the imperial capital."
