Chapter 409 There is another movie "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin"!(1/2)
Sometimes it is like this, the more generous and generous it is, the less problems there will be.
What's more, this is the United States.
For now, most media in mainland China still rely on local international students to produce news.
In terms of professionalism, I can't say it's particularly unprofessional, but it can only be said to be quite unprofessional.
Therefore, many celebrities like to go abroad because not many people here know them. Even the paparazzi, most of the paparazzi in the United States will dig up gossip about Hollywood stars.
Even if they poach Asian celebrities, the editors won’t use them.
Yes, what's the use?
No one in the local newspaper reads this kind of gossip.
Therefore, Takeshi Iwata thought about Gong Li's invitation for a long time but could not find a reason to reject it.
Then let's just have a meal. The other party is not a man-eating monster.
Can you still eat me, Takeshi Iwata?
Gong Li made an appointment at an old French restaurant in Los Angeles.
In fact, as far as the dishes here in the United States are concerned, the more popular ones are Mexican dishes.
The representative one is that kind of taco, which looks like a burrito, but it's not really rolled up.
By the way, it fits the plot very well.
It’s rolled, but not completely rolled.
Apart from that, it is the well-known fast food culture.
However, there are actually some catering cultures that came to the United States relatively early, and French food is one of them.
In fact, we probably all know who the real father of the United States should be from a historical perspective.
Moreover, the French are really also a very important force in the United States.
For example, the famous DuPont family has done many things and understands them all.
Therefore, Gong Li definitely had some tricks up her sleeve by treating herself to French food.
Takeshi Iwata looked at the hard French stick, thoughtfully.
"Mr. Iwata, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh, I didn't think about anything."
"Then do you want to take a guess?"
"Guess what?"
"Guess what I'm thinking?"
"This... I can't guess what you women are thinking."
"That's not necessarily true."
"That has nothing to do with the movie, right?"
"Ah, you still say you can't guess it? This range is very close."
Good guy, Gong Li’s eyes are really powerful.
While joking, he really got to the point.
Takeshi Iwata was just testing it out, but the other party was quite generous.
So……
"Isn't it Miss Gong Li who wants to star in my movie?"
"Mr. Iwata, you are so amazing, your guess is so accurate."
The corners of Gong Li's mouth turned up sharply, and her appearance was very majestic. Now, she is even more majestic.
Takeshi Iwata couldn't help feeling very emotional.
If he hadn't traveled through time, and then Aunt Gong Li had expressed her desire to star in her own movie, Takeshi Iwata would have been extremely happy.
But it's really different now.
"this……"
"What's wrong? Is my request too excessive?"
"Miss Gong Li, I must say that your request is not excessive, but the movie I am preparing now is really..."
"Mr. Iwata, I think for a historical film about China, I should be a good choice."
It's amazing. Although Gong Li is not Emperor Gong yet, her aura is still very strong.
Takeya Iwata was a little helpless, what she said was right.
"I admit that you are indeed very suitable for starring in Chinese historical movies. However, most of the roles in my movie have been finalized. There is really no place for you. I believe that you will not accept some minor roles.
,right."
"Of course, but isn't Mr. Iwata a Japanese supervisor? I remember that Japanese supervisors are very powerful."
Is this going to be forced?
To be honest, Takeshi Iwata was a little angry, but he couldn't get angry for some reason.
Because, according to the current situation, Gong Li's status is quite high, and her acting skills are also very good.
However, he had already rejected the invitation to her at the beginning. If he changed it now, would Iwata Taketa lose face?
However, if it were to be tough and show the power of Japanese supervision, it would not be a good thing.
What if I find Gong Li usefully in the future?
I will probably make Chinese movies in the future.
Right or wrong, this is possible.
So, how should we deal with it?
Takeshi Iwata thought for a moment, and he came up with a very interesting angle.
"Miss Gong Li, I really want to know why you want to participate in my movie?"
"Oh? Don't you think this question is unnecessary, Mr. Iwata?"
"No, I don't think it is unnecessary. I feel that you are not just because of my fame and the success of my previous movies."
"Then why?"
"Could it have something to do with me being a Japanese supervisor?"
"..."
Gong Li was stunned by this question.
Takeshi Iwata knew that he seemed to have grasped the key point, and then smiled and said: "Actually, I have heard about the story between Director Zhang and Director Chen. Miss Gong Li, you must be among them.
It just happened. But now, filming with Director Chen has been successful. I have to say that Miss Gong Li is a good actress."
"What do you mean?"
Gong Li couldn't hold herself any longer.
Iwata took advantage of the victory and pursued, "Actually, your idea makes sense. You hope to develop internationally, not only to gain greater fame and international visibility, but also to get more box office. However,
Have you ever thought that maybe one day, China's film market will rise rapidly and not even lose to that of the United States?"
Good guy, Gong Li's eyes widened when she said this.
Yes, she does want to develop more internationally, and she is even currently talking to the CAA agency in the United States.
She wants to go to Hollywood.
This is a common goal of almost all Asian filmmakers in this era.
Hollywood not only has greater fame, but also higher pay.
During this time, our domestic film market in China was really in bad shape.
If the market is so bad, it naturally means that actors' salaries cannot be raised.
For people like Gong Li, she can even enjoy special allowances, but she doesn't like the money.
To put it bluntly, it is too little.
However, the road to Hollywood is really not easy.
Just like this time at the Oscars, I originally thought that "Farewell My Concubine" directed by Chen was already quite good and would probably win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Unexpectedly, Takeshi Iwata still robbed him.
Therefore, what Gong Li thought was very simple.
Since the road to Hollywood is still a bit difficult, if you can become more international, just like if you can star in Takeshi Iwata's movie, wouldn't you have a chance at the three major European film festivals and the Oscars?
