Chapter 632 Differences Between Planes
"Honey, you said that my new book is written like this, will it be unsafe if we want to travel abroad in the future?"
"Emmm...do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"I want to hear it all."
After a busy day, Li Chungang and He Miao finally came back to the hotel. After washing up, their exhaustion was more or less diluted. Now they are both lying on the bed talking privately between male and female friends. Many things are in front of outsiders. It is inconvenient to describe, such as the new book "The Da Vinci Code".
Others may not know the contents of the book "The Da Vinci Code" before they have read it, but as a person who has read the entire book, it is a lie to say in his heart that he has not worried about it !
There are two things in the world that are unreasonable——
One is to reason with your girlfriend (wife);
The second is religious belief!
The general religious belief may be looking for a spiritual comfort or sustenance. I am afraid that there are very few fanatical religious believers. This kind of person is also reflected in the book. It is true that they can give everything for faith people, even if it is... life!
And Li Chungang's worry lies in this point. In case the book "The Da Vinci Code" is released globally in the future, there is no need to worry about it in China, but if it goes abroad, who knows if it will suddenly happen while walking on the street? Out of nowhere, a fanatical religious believer hugged him and was about to perish together to see God, his old man.
So he wanted to share this worry with He Miao.
pooh-
"I'm sorry~ I couldn't hold back."
"???"
Li Chungang was baffled by He Miao's sudden cheerful laughter [beep——]. After listening to the worries in his heart, his normal reaction should not be to hug him and let himself feel the greatness of women between the charming twin peaks Brilliant, why does it seem like she took the wrong script and went to the wrong set.
"Okay, okay, I mean..." He Miao also knew that she was laughing a little too much, and gradually put away the smile on her face, coughed twice before regaining her composure, "You don't need to lie Worry too much, this kind of thing can't happen."
"What about the truth?"
"The truth is that you think too highly of yourself,
Although I haven't read the content of your new book yet, and I don't know the reason for your worry, I still want to say that your worry is a bit unfounded! A novel is a novel, and the content in the book is only the content in the book. The story told at the beginning of each picture is purely fictional, and any similarity is purely coincidental. This sentence is not meaningless. "He Miao began to analyze for Li Chungang one by one:
"Besides, if it is true as you said, those people who have fanatical beliefs in so-called religions will shake their beliefs because of a fictional story written by a small writer like you? If so, then I I don't think it's crazy, in other words, if the other party is not, then what else do you have to worry about?"
"That sounds very reasonable." Li Chungang said thoughtfully.
"What does it mean to be like, be confident and remove the 'like'. You have been busy recording programs and signing books for a whole day today, and you have just arrived in Millikin and have not had time to count down the difference. Universal Pictures met over there, so hurry up and go to bed and rest."
"Ah! Not good!"
Li Chungang heard the words and suddenly pressed his right hand on the position of the heart in the next second, and his face showed an expression of abnormal pain, "My insomnia syndrome suddenly fell ill, and I urgently need a beautiful woman to save my life."
He Miao rolled her eyes and glared at Li Chungang angrily, but her body cooperated and kissed Li Chungang lightly on the face.
But do you think that Li Chungang is such a simple person who can be easily satisfied? That would be too much to underestimate him, but don't underestimate the man who has been a master of love theory for twenty years in his life. Once he has the opportunity to "practice", this kind of man's growth rate and talent will be amazing .
I saw that the pained expression on his face not only didn't subside in the slightest, on the contrary, it was more than three points, and he couldn't help crying: "No, the disease is getting worse. The doctor said that he wants to treat this disease. Is there any pain on my face?" For use, it must be the kind where there is body fluid exchange between mouth to mouth."
Although the relationship between He Miao and Li Chungang is already a "negative" distance contact, most of the time it is still half-pushed and half-finished when Li Chungang takes the initiative. It is not as "sturdy" as it was the first time. There was still a slight blush on the bluntly teased cheeks.
But they are all old couples, and they have never experienced any big storms.
Soon, he closed his eyes and pursed his lips, and slowly approached in that direction.
It's just that when I was about to get close to the past, my lips were already stabilized by another pair of lips, and the next second there was something wet rushing in for the first time...
The dry firewood touched a piece and ignited a raging fire.
Then it was a good night's sleep.
(The God of Panghai passed by, and the specific details will be supplemented by my own brain)
—
California in Michigan has always been famous for its bright sunshine. When the warm sunshine shines on the balcony, the whole city comes alive at this moment.
Not far away, there are already many people active on Venice Beach. There are skateboarders, art graffiti, joggers, and dog walkers everywhere.
A brand new day starts with a cup of American black coffee, but Li Chungang can't drink it anymore after taking a sip. Although the refreshing effect is really good, the whole body is resisting this bitter thing deep in the soul from the cells , comparatively speaking, a cup of warm fresh milk in the morning is more in line with his rhythm of life.
"I don't know how these sweet-loving Americans get used to it. I still like hot milk."
Li Chungang went to the bathroom for a brief cleaning, then changed clothes and waited on the balcony for the hotel staff to deliver the elaborate breakfast. This is one of the benefits of living in a five-star hotel. You don’t need to eat anything Worry about it yourself, make a phone call to the front desk, and the service staff of the hotel will serve you in person.
For a five-star hotel, in addition to the necessary luxurious decoration, meticulous top-level caring service is also one of the most important standards.
While the two were enjoying the exquisite breakfast prepared by the chef of the Peninsula Hotel for them on the balcony of the room, Zhong Guo, who was neatly dressed and energetic, had already knocked on the door of the room to inform them that it was time to leave. The bearded white man Thompson I just called to let him know he was on his way.
Looking at the time, it was almost the same as what was agreed last night. If Thompson couldn't make it by 8:40, they would have to find a way to drive to Universal Pictures.
Who knows if that guy will have any affair after they parted yesterday, or will be squeezed dry by the Hollywood girls, if they can't get up, they can only rely on themselves.
But now it seems that Thompson should also belong to the type of silver wax head with foreign guns. I am afraid that he has reached the age when he has to go to middle age and soak goji berries in the thermos. .
The golden sun, the golden beach, and the girls who put on bikinis and played volleyball early on, occasionally a few seagulls fly by, the picture is very enjoyable.
"ding dong"
When the doorbell rang, Li Chungang had no choice but to look away from admiring the beautiful carcass.
When he opened the door, Thompson dressed himself decently, with his hair neatly combed, as if he was the protagonist invited by Universal Pictures.
"You didn't go out to wander yesterday?"
"Ahem~ Li, don't talk nonsense, I'm not that kind of person! If you're ready, we're going to hurry up now. Speaking of which, it's my first time to go to Universal Pictures, and I'm still a little young Exciting."
Li Chungang jokingly said: "Just give up, no matter how well you dress up, no film production company will find you, and Universal Pictures will not ask you to make a movie."
A group of four came to the parking area while chatting and laughing. The doorman of the hotel even trotted over to help open the door. The service was very thoughtful.
"This week's New York Times bestseller list is out again. Congratulations, you won the championship for another week!"
"It's good, it's really good." Li Chungang didn't have any extra expressions on his face. He had been crowned for so many weeks, and one more was just icing on the cake, not worth jumping up to celebrate.
"Lord of the Rings" itself should be selling at this level, and it can be expected that the duration of this consecutive bestseller list is far longer than that, and it will continue for a long time in the future, so there is nothing to be excited or surprised about. of.
As one of the largest film companies in Millikin, Universal Pictures has achieved gratifying results in recent years, second only to Disney, which is against the sky.
Needless to say, after integrating Marvel, Disney is basically invincible in Jianghu, just like Xu Zhu, who originally had an invincible internal force, has learned the weapons of the Tianshan School, and the annual gross box office is the highest among countless film and television companies in Hollywood!
The studios and offices of Universal Pictures are located at 100 Universal Plaza Avenue in Universal City, California. Universal City is different from Universal Studios.
Universal City is the studio established by the founder in 1914 and a venue for filming exteriors, while Universal Studios is an amusement park that reproduces the theme of the movie.
There are posters of movies produced by Universal Pictures every year on the wall, and the names of the last ten years can be barely named, and some early movies are not known at all.
The historical background can be seen from these places. It is not an upstart, but a Hollywood giant who has gone through ups and downs!
Evans, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Li Chungang and others getting out of the car, and took the initiative to hug Li Chungang, and shook hands with He Miao and other people only politely, not daring to go beyond, and finally joked with the owner He asked, "What do you think of our global office area?"
"It looks good, and there are many movies in it that I haven't seen."
"Then you can make up your homework in the future, and the works that can be recorded here are very good." As a producer, Evans has been in pain and happiness recently, although there are not many female characters in "Lord of the Rings", But there are still too many actresses who recommend themselves as pillow seats.
But at this critical juncture of the limelight, he would not dare to stand up to the wind and commit crimes even if he had the heart of a bear. Now his career is developing just right and cannot be ruined in the hands of women.
Are there still few examples of "Heroes saddened by beauty"?
After Li Chungang came to Evans' office, he took the initiative to ask: "I heard that the whole Hollywood knows about the "Lord of the Rings" project, what do you think about the filming location?"
"Exterior shooting locations... In this regard, the company has a dedicated location director who is looking for locations around the world. We estimate that we will choose places such as Iceland, Eagle Country, Western Europe, and Northern Europe. Do you want us to go to Huaguo? Scene shooting? Huaguo is beautiful, maybe we can consider it.”
Like talking about stand-up comedy, Evans couldn't stop.
"No, didn't I travel in New Zealand before? The natural scenery there is wonderful, almost the same as the picture I imagined when I wrote the book." Li Chungang began to fool around shamelessly, pretending that he discovered this place by accident.
After all, he took out his mobile phone and found the picture taken at the DeWitt family ranch before, "Look at this picture I took, green mountains and green waters, without any modern architecture or modern technology, it looks exactly like Hobbiton, As long as you plant wheat on it and dig out the caves described in the book, it will be a real paradise!"
"You know, the choice of the location depends on the director. As producers, we only need to weigh the conditions in all aspects. If the director thinks it's not good, then it's definitely not good."
Evans still attaches great importance to the opinion of Li Chungang, the author of the original work, and did not veto it outright, but kept this idea in his heart first.
"That's what I proposed. Whether you accept it or not depends on the final result. How many directors were invited today?"
"After a long period of discussion and screening, there are only the last three, but the final candidate is still a little hesitant. This time they have prepared for nearly half a month, and they will talk to us about their filming. Ideas, such as what kind of movie you want to make, etc. This is the information of the three directors."
Now is the time to talk about it on paper. If you can't even talk about it, then you can hardly expect any amazing performance in the actual shooting.
Li Chungang took the list and looked at it, and found that it turned out to be a name that everyone outside the Hollywood circle thought he was familiar with!
"Zach Snyder has a unique style and is good at shooting action movies, and his performance in "300 Warriors" is very good. This kind of epic movie coincides with what we want on a certain level. But the problem is his work. The tone is too dark, like a deep oil painting, which is far from "Lord of the Rings", have you seen his film works?"
Evans was worried that Li Chungang didn't know him, so he analyzed in detail for him very intimately. Zac's advantages and disadvantages were equally obvious.
The other director is Alfonso Cuarón, one of the three Mexican directors who is the best director of the Oscars. He filmed "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" and has control over high-cost magical movies. Very nice, especially in the use of special effects.
If a series of film projects with a total investment cost of more than 600 million US dollars does not find a reliable director, I am afraid that people in Universal Pictures will not be able to sleep soundly.
"The last one is Justin Lin, a Chinese independent director who graduated from the Department of Drama, Television and Film at UCLA. Maybe he is not among the big directors in Hollywood, maybe many people, including Chinese people, are the first I heard this name once, but as long as you mention the "Fast and Furious" series of movies, I believe you should understand. The shooting of the Fast and Furious series of movies has ended, so Justin Lin has also become one of our preferred directors one."
Evans and the others wanted to find Cameron, but Kashen’s efficiency, spending ability, and dividend level couldn’t afford it. Maybe one movie could cost 500 million yuan, and there was no need for three movies. .
Li Chungang saw that the name of Peter Jackson was not included in the list of the last three directors, and he felt a little strange in his heart, because the book "Lord of the Rings" has been missing for a long time in his own plane, so that the director did not Taking the successful experience of filming "The Lord of the Rings" as a springboard to success step by step.
It's just that now he's a little tangled, should he refer to information from another dimension and recommend Peter Jackson as the director to Universal Pictures, but the achievements he can make today are really... infinite close to zero.
Compared with the last three directors left by Universal, it is nothing like cloud and mud.
Each of these three directors has a lot of fans. Although they are not so good as to become gods, they are solid among the proper directors.
Each has its pros and cons, making it difficult to choose!
