You don't understand the happiness of the director

(The title is very long, please bear with me~)

At the Capital International Airport, Liu Yifei put away her phone and started looking around. She just learned from Yang Mi that Wang Quan had just arrived at the airport. Although one was flying to New York and the other was flying to Los Angeles, she might be able to meet him if the time was close.

She doesn't need much time, she can say the words "I like you" in one second, but it's not easy to find someone.

"Sissi, what are you looking at?"

"What are you looking at...oh, I'm not looking at anything~" Liu Yifei lowered her head and played with her mobile phone guiltily. The Northeastern genes were at work.

She continued to ask Yang Mi for help, "Mimi, what are you wearing, Brother Quan? I'm at the airport too, maybe we can get to know each other."

Yang Mi sat up suddenly in the taxi. Damn, she was also at the airport. Didn't she have any brain just now? She leaked Brother Quan's whereabouts so easily!

Yang Mi recalled what Brother Quan was wearing. He was wearing casual clothes and carrying a bag, "suit and leather shoes, carrying a suitcase, like a captain."

Liu Yifei said, "Yeah, let me look for it."

Liu Yifei sighed with emotion, she was indeed a good sister who slept with her, and she would never treat her sister-in-law badly in the future!

"Mommy, let me go to the bathroom." Liu Yifei handed the suitcase to her mother and started running around looking for the man.

She remembered that Wang Quan was 1.85 meters tall and tall and straight, which meant he was a hand taller than herself. She made a gesture and thought of the suit and suitcase.

"Yes!"

At this time, a tall and handsome figure appeared directly in front of her. It was exactly as Mimi said. She immediately followed him, trying to see his face clearly, but it turned out that the man was wearing a mask and sunglasses.

It's more like, celebrities have similar equipment to me.

Seeing that the other person was going to the bathroom, Liu Yifei immediately followed him. Before the other person entered, Liu Yifei patted his shoulder and said, "Hey."

The other party turned around and smiled. He was very skilled in the business and said, "It's better to sign or take a photo."

Seeing the real face, Liu Yifei said disappointedly, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."

"You're right, it's me," the man took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of big melancholy eyes with extremely long eyelashes. Seeing that the other person's expression remained the same, he took off his mask again, "It's me, Liu Ye."

Liu Yifei apologized, "Hello, Teacher Liu Ye, it's not you I'm looking for. Goodbye."

Liu Ye froze in embarrassment, why is this person like this? Originally, he was in a good mood when he went out today, but you and I made such a fuss that he was listless when he urinated. He kept thinking: I am not popular anymore. ?

In particular, there is a comparison not far away. How long have you been holding it in? You are so strong that you are not afraid of flushing the urinal!

Wang Quan put it away and walked out of the bathroom, preparing to go to the departure hall to find Zhang Jingchu. He found that the guy in the bathroom before had been following him. Wang Quan didn't think he had encountered a pervert. He was probably on the same flight.

In the first-class VIP waiting room, Wang Quan saw Zhang Jingchu wearing headphones and listening to music. He sat directly next to her, took off one of the headphones and put it on his own ear.

"abandon..."

Wang Quan was stunned, "Are you listening to English?"

Zhang Jingchu smiled and said, "Get familiar with the sense of language again, Director Wang, why don't you just keep speaking in English with me from now on."

"OKOKOK~"

Liu Ye followed Wang Quan into the waiting room and saw his junior sister Zhang Jingchu at a glance. He was from the 96th grade acting department. Zhang Jingchu, whose real name was Zhang Jing, was from the 97th grade directing college class, but ended up being an actor. Second only to Chen Hao (hao) in that session.

Just as Liu Ye was about to go over to say hello, someone had already done so in advance. Oh, isn't this the high-pressure water gun in the bathroom just now? What is the relationship between these two people? Where is the partner?

Liu Ye immediately gave up saying hello, but hid not far away, with his back to the two of them, observing secretly.

Why does this man still speak English? Is he an overseas Chinese?

However, English is not a problem for Liu Ye. This time he went to Los Angeles for an audition, and he also had English speaking proficiency requirements.

Hey, Jingchu called him director, such a young director? Probably not as old as her, right? Is it some kind of fun name?

Next, Jingchu introduced herself, explained the honors she had received, and the preparations she had made for this role. She is really a director!

At this time, Liu Ye thought about the self-introduction he had prepared, and it was really no match for Zhang Jingchu's.

What do I have? Isn’t it just that I have won the Best Actor Award for Golden Horse and Golden Rooster? But foreigners don’t recognize this either. I still have to impress the interviewer through a profound interpretation of the character. No, I have to write it down in a small notebook.

Just as he was about to make a move, he heard someone tap his shoulder and shout, "Liu Ye!"

The sound was neither loud nor quiet, but just enough for Zhang Jingchu and the two of them to hear.

Seeing the speaker, Wang Quan and Zhang Jingchu stood up together and shouted respectfully, "Hello, Teacher Gong."

Then he added, "Hello, Teacher Liu~" "Hello, Senior Brother~"

Gong Hanlin... No, Gong Li looked at the two people. She knew Zhang Jingchu, the heroine of Lao Gu's movie, but she had never seen the one next to her, "Who is this?"

Zhang Jing was the first to introduce him. After saying this, Liu Ye knew who it was. It was him. He was the number one figure!

But Gong Li still doesn't know. Last year she was mainly active in Hollywood, starring in the great director Michael Mann's "Miami Vice". However, this year she was invited by her ex-boyfriend to return to China, mainly to film "The Golden Jacket" and also with Liu Ye had a lot of embarrassing scenes around him, and he even called himself his mother.

Then Liu Ye also helped introduce Wang Quan, "Director Wang is an exchange student at the University of Southern California. During his college years, he made movies and sold them to Paramount. Now he also runs his own company, which is amazing!"

However, his greatness is still a bit pretentious. When I mention it, the reputation explodes, but when I ask, it hasn't been released yet.

Gong Li nodded, "Then we know each other. What time are your flights?"

Everyone checked the time. Good guys, we were on the same plane. Liu Ye joked, "If this plane crashes, the loss to the Chinese film and television industry will be huge!"

Gong Li slapped his mouth directly, "Crow's mouth, bah bah bah."

As expected of someone who has filmed sex scenes, the relationship is close, Liu Ye smiles and is not angry, with a straightforward look on his face.

As the eldest sister at the scene, Gong Li asked directly, "I'm going to film, what are you doing?"

Liu Ye, "Go to the audition."

Zhang Jingchu, “I’m also going to audition.”

King Power, “Auditioning Others.”

Liu Ye and Zhang Jingchu both looked at him, very angry.

Then he asked Gong Li, "Teacher Gong, what kind of movie are you filming?"

Gong Li said softly, "Don't spread the word. It hasn't been officially announced yet. I'm filming a prequel to The Silence of the Lambs, about young Hannibal."

Oops!

The Silence of the Lambs, this movie is so famous that it rarely won the five most important Oscar awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay. It can be called the most famous R-rated film in Hollywood. Movie.

However, Wang Quan's expression was rather dull. He had just searched in the film and television library and found "Hannibal", which was nominated for the Razzie Best Picture. It didn't have much box office, and it can be called the least significant among the Silence of the Lambs series.

It seems that Mr. Gong failed this time, but that’s normal. There are not many good projects left for Asian actors in Hollywood, and the status of Asians is far inferior to that of blacks.

Teacher Gong Li can be regarded as the light of Asia if she can get the leading role. Except for those native-born Chinese Americans such as Liu Yuling, no one can compare with her. She is China's business card in the world, well, at least it still is.

With Gong Li, someone was in control of the scene. She asked her two juniors and juniors what roles they were auditioning for. She could also remind them if they needed attention. Although Wang Quan was the director, when it came to audition skills, he was definitely not as good as Gong. Rich experience.

Zhang Jingchu, "I auditioned for Brother Cheng Long's "Rush Hour 3."

"Hey, the last movie was about Zi Yi. Sure, the future is bright. By the way, Zi Yi and the second child of the Huo family broke up, right?" Gong Li suddenly turned from Zhang Jingchu's audition issue to gossip.

Zhang Jingchu asked in surprise and surprise, "Ah, is it true?" Of course, the surprise had to be hidden.

Liu Ye sighed and nodded. He had a good relationship with Xiao Yizi. "What happened a few days ago, Mr. Huo interrupted the relationship with a phone call. Zi Yi and I even drank some."

He also just broke up not long ago, and the two of them are in the same boat.

Zhang Jingchu lamented that it was indeed difficult to get into a wealthy family, and female celebrities still had to rely on themselves to succeed, but she did not dare to say this. Teacher Gong Li's husband seemed to be the president of some company.

Wang Quan looked at Liu Ye, "Teacher Liu, what role are you auditioning for?"

Liu Ye got excited when talking about this, "The role I auditioned for was particularly deep. He was a talented international student who was suppressed by his professor because of academic issues. He shot his professor and classmates in anger, and finally committed suicide by drinking bullets. This role is the male protagonist and the female protagonist. The protagonist is Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep.”

Zhang Jingchu said unexpectedly, "Brother, you are so awesome!" The male protagonist is still paired with an Oscar-winning actress. This is much better than himself, the green leaf in a vase in an action movie!

Wang Quan was startled, "This is adapted from a real event, right? Does it sound familiar?"

"Well, it happened in the 1990s, the Lu Gang incident." Liu Ye said.

Wang Quan nodded. This incident still had a great impact at that time. Five people died and one was paralyzed. After more than ten years, Wang Quan had heard about it when he was studying abroad.

The name of the movie is "Dark Matter" and it is the director's debut. Wang Quan checked it in the film and television library and won a few small awards. However, it had almost no performance at the box office. It could be said that it was drowned in the vast sea and caused no ripples.

On the contrary, Wang Quan breathed a sigh of relief. If it really became popular all over the United States, and the old events of the past were brought up again, it might even intensify the conflicts between Chinese international students and local American students today.

However, everyone was eager to discuss the role that Liu Ye was about to challenge. It was indeed a deep role. They were still talking about it until they got on the plane. The seats of the four of them happened to be next to each other. Wang Quan and Zhang Jingchu were side by side, in front. It's Gong Li, and next to Gong Li is Liu Ye.

However, Wang Quan was indeed too sleepy after taking long-distance flights continuously. He was the first one among the four to fall asleep.

Although he said he fell asleep, he actually spent half an hour watching several movies, including Hannibal, Dark Matter, and Rush Hour 3.

At this time, the grand occasion of the four people going to Hollywood together made Wang Quan mistakenly believe that Hollywood was about to be contracted by mainland stars.

As a result, "Hanny" was a hit on the street, and "Dark Matter" was not found in the film. Cheng Long's "Rush Hour 3" also had the worst reputation in the series and lost money at the box office. As a result, the popular series was cut in half and was not released until 2025. Four, then creating a new bottom line for the series.

Wang Quan finished watching "Rush Hour 4" by the way, and said with emotion that Cheng Long is too old to fight.

But while he was pretending to sleep and actually watching the movie, Liu Ye turned around, winked at Zhang Jingchu, and asked in a low voice, "Jingchu, what's going on between you and Director Wang?"

This expression is just right if you hold a handful of melon seeds in your hand.

Zhang Jingchu said, "It just happened to happen that we were presenting at the Grand Film Festival yesterday, and we have only known each other for a day."

Liu Ye, "I thought you knew each other quite well. Director Wang is quite handsome."

Zhang Jingchu glanced at Wang Quan's sleeping face and said, "That's right. At least he's more handsome than you."

Liu Ye, "..."

It was too hurtful, so he stopped talking. He turned his head and glanced at Gong Li who was reading a magazine. He was so majestic. Forget it, he should go to sleep.

More than ten hours later, the plane landed, and the four of them went their separate ways, but they all exchanged contact information. When they were away from home, they had many friends and many ways to go, so maybe they could be of use to each other.

Wang Quan went back to the company directly. He slept well on the plane and was not sleepy.

"How about Boss Tao, this script will work."

Dorothy snorted, "Okay, okay, let's do what Suter said, start shooting in July, finish filming in August, and start preparing for the Oscars at the East Film Festival in October!"

Wang Quan shook hands with her and said formally, "Thank you for your support."

"Then I'm going to do the post-production of "Escape Room" now." It's still a little short of completion, and there are only four or five months left before the movie is released.

The success of this corporate venture will determine whether Long Toutou will be self-reliant or rely on a wealthy family.

Dorothy stopped Wang Quan, "Wait a minute, I've found some candidates for Juno. Take a look. I think the first candidate is particularly good."

Wang Quan took the document and rejected it directly when he saw the name and photo of the first candidate, "She can't do it."

"Why can't it work? I'm 16 years old, white, skinny, and young. It fits the contrast you want. And I've been acting since I was a child. I have no problem starring opposite Jodie Foster, and my acting skills are passable."

Wang Quan raised his nose and raised his eyes, "Is it too high?"

"No, because I look tall because I am thin, I am only 1.65 meters tall."

"Wouldn't it be too beautiful?"

"You didn't say Juno wasn't beautiful. Wouldn't it be nice to be more plain when wearing makeup? No, are you targeting her on purpose?"

"No," Wang Quan put down the information, "I just think she is more suitable for Bella, the heroine of my fourth movie."

"Part 4, you mean..." Dorothy said excitedly, "Are you finally ready to shoot it?"

Wang Quan nodded, "I will shoot it after Juno. This little girl is a good talent. You can keep the information. It is best to leave a schedule for me. I will use her at the end of the year or early next year."

Dorothy nodded and solemnly collected Kristen Stewart’s information~

(It’s a bit too coincidental that four celebrities are on the same flight at the same time, but when it comes to writing novels, I think everyone can understand, right~ And the launch dates shown in the information of these three movies are indeed relatively close~)
