Chapter 114(2/2)
However, in the hearts of netizens, they only noticed one thing: [Hahaha, after the second trial, Lu Xiangbo will compensate Liu Huizhen 100,000! You said that in the last third trial, Lu Xiangbo will not have to pay more money again, right? I feel sorry for him, hahahaha, support Lu Xiangbo’s three lawsuits! Unfortunately, there can only be three lawsuits at most, otherwise I will support him to appeal hahahaha~]
There is one thing that Director Xu is not right. Although Lu Xiangbo's reputation is very bad and the situation is bad, the crew of "Silent" has gained more exposure. After all, the second male lead has been replaced by Lin Xuan, and Lu Xiangbo is completely incomparable to him. With Lin Xuan, no one cares that the person who played the second male lead before was Lu Xiangbo.
But for any director, they do want their crew to gain more exposure, but they don't want to be exposed with their notoriety.
Ren Shuzhi's incident was much bigger than Rong Xu's previous endorsement, because of her, the box office of "The Mystery" soared. Many media groups saw the box office of "The Mystery" and postponed the release time of the movie without hesitation, pushing the time to December.
But this time, Director Yuan never called Rong Xu happily to report the good news.
When Rong Xu called him to congratulate the box office of "The Mysterious City" on the box office exceeded 6 billion, Director Yuan seemed to be a little depressed on the other end of the phone: "What do I want this kind of exposure? I am profit-oriented and don't want to associate the movie with this kind of scandal. Just be casual, why did I ask Ren Shuzhi to act in this drama? Rong Xu, don't contact her anymore, I have been worried about these days. With her here, the organizing committees of major awards will definitely not be optimistic about our movie, and my name as Director Yuan Award will be ruined by her!"
Unexpectedly, Rong Xu was slightly surprised, but after a moment, he felt a little warm in his heart. He comforted: "Director Yuan, our drama is very good, you don't have to worry. Ren Shuzhi's affairs cannot cover up the excellence of "The Mysterious City". I believe in myself and you."
Director Yuan did not answer this sentence.
It took him a long time to sigh and smiled tiredly, "I heard that you seem to be working with Kremans in the next scene? Congratulations, I wish you can win this role. Kree's movies have always been good, the box office is very high, and the awards are also very good. Don't miss it."
Without wondering how the other party knew about his new drama, Rong Xu smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you for your good words."
Yuan Ke is a realistic director, but he is also a director who loves his works.
After hanging up the phone, Rong Xu turned around and devoted himself to the promotion of "Silent".
After more than half a month of publicity, the already thin boy seemed a little thinner. Starting from the UK and crossing the entire Atlantic Ocean, it was the east coast of the United States.
In the bustling and lively New York metropolis, the crew of "Silent" ushered in a grand pick-up as soon as they got off the airport.
Director Xu never thought that fans would pick us up on the other side of the ocean. The old man was stunned for a long time. He just turned around and said to Xiao Zitong, "What's going on? So many movie fans come to see us?" Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud shout from the crowd: "Rong Rong! Rong Rong! Rong Rong!!!"
The Chinese with a straight-talk sounded in a foreign country. Director Xu looked closely and realized that among the dozens of fans who came to take the opportunity, most of them were yellow people with black hair and black eyes.
Rong Xu didn't expect that his fans would come to organize the pick-up. If fans want to know many things, there will always be solutions. For example, they knew that the "Silent" crew ended their promotion in the UK the day before yesterday and were going to New York to participate in the recording of a talk show today. After checking the flights for the past two days, they easily found several flights to and from the UK and the United States.
However, there were nine flights from the UK to the US in the past two days.
From a distance, Rong Xu saw a petite and delicate female fan constantly waving the light sign with the words "Rong Rong" written on it, but there was a shadow under her eyes. She seemed very tired, but there was a light in her eyes when she looked at Rong Xu.
It should have been a long time since I had a rest.
Perhaps, I have been waiting at the airport the night before yesterday.
I didn't know what it felt like, Rong Xu went up and simply signed everyone's name, reminding everyone to be careful on the way when they go back. After the final photo, he looked at the group of fans who were so excited that they were about to cry, with a serious expression and said seriously: "If you don't take good care of yourself, I will be very angry."
The fans were stunned for a moment. When they came to their senses, Rong Xu had already left the scene with the crew of "Silent" with their backs, raised their right arm, and waved them gently twice.
Tears fell directly at this moment.
"QAQ How can my Rongrong be so good and so gentle! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
The pick-up incident was just a small episode. The next day, the crew of "Silent" participated in the recording of a talk show.
For Americans, they have no idea how popular Rong Xu and Xiao Zitong are in China.
Xiao Zitong will not mention it yet. All the movies she starred in are only released in China and have never been abroad. Among the four works that Rong Xu has published, "Ambushes", "Competition" and "Missing" are only broadcast in China, and only "Black Clouds" are released simultaneously around the world.
Not every American is concerned about the other side of the earth. Many people are familiar with Xu just because of "Black Clouds", and they don't even know Xiao Zitong at all. However, they know Xu Sheng, because Director Xu has been filming for many years and his works have been released in the United States for seven or eight times, and he is an old friend of the American people.
So in this talk show, Director Xu undoubtedly became the center of the topic. The host repeatedly talked to Director Xu. In addition, when he looked at Rong Xu and smiled and talked to Rong Xu, he often called him "beautiful Chinese" and regarded this as a topic.
The host had no malice. He also wanted to give Rong Xu a lot of attention so that the audience could remember him. But this was also an hinting that Rong Xu's reputation in China could not be spread abroad, and he urgently needed works that could allow him to go abroad.
"Black Clouds" is just the beginning. There are too many big names in this movie, and the audience may not necessarily remember him.
"Silent" has not been released yet, but the box office of this literary film is destined not to be too high.
Next, Rong Xu chose a movie made by an American director.
In late November, one week before the premiere of "Silent" was released, Director Xu and Xiao Zitong left the United States, but Rong Xu stayed.
While having breakfast in the hotel together in the morning, Xiao Zitong pushed her suitcase to the restaurant. She walked straight to Rong Xu and sat down. At this time, Rong Xu was chatting with Luo Xi. When he saw Xiao Zitong coming, he nodded to the other party with a faint smile.
Xiao Zitong smiled and said, "You have just finished filming "Silent" and have been promoting two movies since then. How long has it been... really going to film again?"
Hearing this, Rong Xu put down the glass in his hand and turned to look at Xiao Zitong.
Under the bright lights, the beautiful and charming young actress looked at herself seriously and smiled bitterly: "I plan to take a break for half a year...at least three months. In fact, filming "Silent" is quite easy. There is no action plot in this drama, it is all literary dramas. But it is too tiring to promote the movie. I haven't had a good jet lag this month yet, and I'm going to return to China now." After a pause, Xiao Zitong whispered: "Rongrong, aren't you tired?"
Just a few months off, it is not considered lazy in the circle. Xiao Zitong is the norm. Rong Xu is simply too a model worker.
When he heard the word "Rongrong", Luo Xi was a little stunned, as if he felt something was wrong.
But Rong Xu didn't notice the abnormality. He smiled and shook his head: "I'm a man, just a job, and I'm still acceptable. Unlike Sister Zitong, you're a girl. When you participated in that variety show last week, you said that you had a period of menstruation? Your stomach hurts so much, you still have to play games. I'm very relaxed, you can rest for a few months."
Looking at the boy's sincere and clear pupils, Xiao Zitong's lips moved, but in the end she still didn't speak.
She could see that Rong Xu was really caring about her and not perfunctory. But it was precisely this kind of considerate but not cramped concern that made her feel warmer and more... Rong Rong was so cute! How could there be such a cute person in the world!!!
After breakfast, Director Xu and Xiao Zitong left the hotel and went to the airport.
For them, the promotion of "Silent" has come to an end. Many of the variety shows they participated in are not live broadcasts, and will be broadcast one after another in the next week, bringing a certain amount of exposure to "Silent". They only need to rest at home and maintain their energy. When "Silent" is officially released in seven days, they have to promote the film on the roadshow.
But for Rong Xu, he had no time to rest.
As Director Yuan and Xiao Zitong said, Rong Xu will go to Washington to attend an audition in two days.
The movie he is going to audition for is a new drama by the famous American director Krimans Holt, called "Three Thousand Two Hundred Miles". Unlike Kerry's previous big-produced movies, the investment in this drama is not particularly large, only 50 million US dollars, but it has attracted widespread attention from the American media.
Kerry is 32 years old this year and is a well-known new American director. The director became a hit after filming his first movie at the age of 21, and that movie earned him a box office of 300 million yuan.
Since then, Kerry's movies have not gone downhill. A dramatic action movie that is more exciting than the other makes him the most admired director of young Americans, and has also been nominated for the Oscar for Best Director three times.
Perhaps because he was too young and lacked qualifications, Kerry had never won the Oscar. However, he won the Berlin Award once. Last year, his commercial action film had a global box office of up to 9.6 billion, which was very popular.
Although he is a purebred American, Crimans Holt has a very good relationship with Huaxia. He speaks fluent Chinese, with golden hair and blue eyes, and deep facial features that make him have a look no less than a star. In addition, the movies he makes always have visual impact and can touch the hearts of the audience, so he is also deeply loved by Chinese movie fans.
Among all the directors in Hollywood, Kerry said Chinese the best. The reason is that he followed Mr. Liu as a teenager, started as an assistant director, gradually became an assistant director, and finally took the initiative to shoot his own movie.
This time, Kerry chose to work with Rong Xu because he wanted to shoot a movie related to China.
After the filming of "Zhanhualuo", Rong Xu received a call from Mr. Liu, who personally recommended Rong Xu to Kerry.
On the phone, Mr. Liu simply said that Krimans wanted to make a movie with the male lead Chinese, so he showed him the script and he thought Rong Xu was suitable. But Mr. Liu didn't say it, and Rong Xu also understood that Mr. Liu would definitely ask Mr. Liu for advice on whether there is a good Chinese actor to recommend, and Mr. Liu introduced this opportunity to him.
Rong Xu really needs a movie that goes to the world.
"Silent" is not enough, he is just a male third in "Brave Flowers".
"Black Clouds" has a great influence, but Rong Xu doesn't get much from it.
"Three Thousand Two Hundred Miles" is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
This is a Hollywood commercial action film full of Krimans Holt's style, and it is also a road film. The male protagonist Rong Xu is going to play will kidnap the heroine and take her on a crazy road escape. They fled 3,200 miles in total, crossing most of the United States.
This drama requires a lot of action scenes, and the hero also needs to be able to speak fluent English.
Although Mr. Liu recommended Rong Xu to Kerry, Kerry would not sign a contract with him directly, so this scene happened.
Two days later, Rong Xu and Rosie took a plane to Washington. This capital city is not as luxurious and prosperous as New York, but it is full of a unique American charm. As soon as they arrived at the airport, the crew picked Rong Xu away and went to the crew.
Since it is a road movie, the crew's shooting venue is naturally impossible to be in the same place. Krimans has never liked special effects. For such non-science fiction movies, he used real-life shooting. This morning, a brown-haired and green-eyed female host reported on TV that Krimans' new movie directly rented an entire highway in the United States and was specifically used for filming.
When he first came into contact with the American film crew, Rosie was a little nervous. She always straightened her back when she sat in the car. However, Rong Xu leaned back and leaned back on the soft seat. He turned his head slightly, his expression relaxed, and looked at the sparkling Potomac River not far away.
I saw a pure white marble obelisk reflected in the blue river, moving with the breeze, rippling.
In his previous life, Rong Xu often came to the United States. It can even be said that he would stay in this country at least three or four months a year because he was going to come to Hollywood to film.
In that world, China's entertainment career is not as good as the United States. The Hollywood Film and Television City in the United States accounts for more than 80% of the world's entertainment resources. Celebrities from any country in the world, almost always come here to leave a mark on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
But now it's different.
Hollywood is still the same Hollywood, but China is not the same.
Krimans Holt's father is a well-known director in Hollywood, but his son chose Mr. Liu as his enlightenment teacher. This shows that Chinese films have a high status in the world and can compete with Hollywood.
So many Hollywood stars and directors can speak Chinese, which is the embodiment of China's strong national strength!
Rong Xu's eyes swept through the Lincoln Memorial Hall outside the car window and the Washington Monument one by one. He looked at the ancient city, and his lips were involuntarily curled up, revealing a meaningful smile.
Although he often visited Hollywood Film and Television City in Los Angeles in his previous life and did not come to Washington many times, he also found that this city was different from what he remembered. The United States is still an immigrant country, with many people of different skin colors on the streets, but the atmosphere in this country is not very similar.
It seems to be more equal.
At least compared with his previous life, some racists would never dare to discriminate against yellow and black people in public because they would never dare to say that they were the only superpower again.
Time passed quickly. When the car drove into a downtown area, it took a few more turns and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated building.
Rong Xu and Rosie got out of the car.
Rosie looked at the gray-black walls and the trembling roof tiles, and opened her eyes wide in a daze, as if she didn't understand what was going on.
Chapter completed!
