Chapter 577 [Goodbye Bombshell, reserved coffee place]
Guo Xu and Megan Fox did not return to the hot Phoenix and continued their vacation in Los Angeles.
As long as he stays in Los Angeles, Lakers fans can't help but want to scold the management. Kupchek, who took the blame, kept complaining.
Guo Xu does like Los Angeles, but that doesn't mean he wants to stay in the Lakers. Anyway, after the start of the NBA season, players fly everywhere and rarely stay at home. But fans don't recognize this. Many people think that the Lakers forced Guo Xu away. As long as the Lakers are willing to renew their contract with a maximum salary, he will definitely stay.
After a day off, Guo Xu and Meghan went to the cinema to watch the floppy film "Escape from the Clones Island", and then Guo Xu called director Michael Bay to ask him to have supper together.
Megan asked: "You don't want me to act in his movies, do you?"
"Yes, now he is in a low career, which is a good opportunity to determine the role. If I don't contact him, he would think that the last drama was because the script was too bad, so I asked you to turn it off."
"Then how do you know that his next drama will not be bad?"
Guo Xu had already thought of the words. "Because he wouldn't fall to twice in the same place. Next time he found a simple script to concentrate on the explosion, it would definitely be very exciting. Next time I will also help you check it. If the script doesn't work, I will definitely not let you shoot it."
Meghan never counts when talking at home. Guo Xu is the one who decides the important things. She changes her clothes and goes out together.
The three met in an Italian restaurant, and Michael Bay was very decadent today.
He was wearing a gray long-sleeved T-shirt that he hadn't changed for a few days. His long hair was a little messy and his beard had a little bit of a beard. His unfocusable gaze and dull eyes made Guo Xu feel terrified every step.
After sitting down, Guo Xu joked: "Michael, you are not in a good mood."
"Jason, aren't you here to laugh at me?" Michael Bay said with a wry smile. He has been having a terrible life in the past two weeks.
"Escape from the Cloned Island" is a movie of special significance for Michael Bay. The movie was released on July 22, with a box office of 12 million in the first week, and the box office in North America may not exceed 30 million in the next film, which is the lowest point in his career. "Life Remote Control" can beat his science fiction blockbuster in one week.
In Guo Xu's previous life, the global box office of the movie was 160 million. Although it was sold to many countries, some movie fans who like Michael Bay bought it and did not recover the cost in the end because the movie was invested 126 million. DreamWorks still cannot escape the ending of being acquired by Paramount in this life.
Guo Xu shook his head and smiled and said, "Brother, I'm not here to laugh at you. I firmly believe that you will prove yourself next time. As long as the next movie is a science fiction film, Meghan will definitely star in it."
"I guess no one dares to ask me to shoot science fiction blockbusters in the short term." Michael Bay still lacks confidence.
"Who said? If you don't have a movie to shoot until next year, I'll look for you."
"Haha, thank you. I feel much better after hearing what you said." Michael Bay smiled. At least when he was most depressed, someone was still caring about him.
The two talked about this movie. Guo Xu said that "Escape from the Cloned Island" has many advantages, but its disadvantages are more obvious.
The movie has a beautiful opening, with beautiful bays, mountains, blue seas and ethereal music. Michael Bay deserves to be an MV director. The first half is beautiful, while the plot in the lower part completely tear down the beauty!
He carefully constructed all the puzzles, suspense, and the inferences about the value of life he extended were replaced by waves of explosions and car chase scenes that were stronger than the waves. This is the specialty of "Explosion Bell", but a group of special forces could not catch two clones who had not received any military training? The audience had a feeling when they watched it. Are you teasing me?
The halo of the male and female protagonists is so big that they can ignore the laws of physics. Guo Xu felt that there was no need for them to dodge bullets, because the physical strength shown in the movie should not hurt them. For example, they fell at a high altitude and were caught by a net without any harm. In reality, people should be hung up when they fell from that height to the Internet.
Guo Xu's complaints were very sharp, but the two men became more and more speculative as they talked, because his statement coincided with Michael Bay's idea.
Guo Xu said he was optimistic about his rise again, and it was very simple to do this. Don’t play any depth or discuss human nature. Just do what you are good at and just do more action scenes and explosions.
Michael Bay became energetic after eating this meal. As the saying goes, a rare confidant in life, Guo Xu is his brother.
This person has always been quite unique. He has been single for many years and only plays with people he can get. If he doesn't like you, then don't work with him after all, he will be tortured to death by him.
He is a "tyrant" on the set who works at least 12 hours a day. He even works 20 hours a day when filming vigorously. He often gets angry. On his set, he always hears noise and his loud shouting. In 1998, an American magazine asked: "Is Michael Bay a demon?" By 2018, this answer was still "yes".
But when he meets someone he likes, he will become very good at communicating and will not have a bad temper in life.
Michael Bay was born by a single mother and was sent to a welfare institution because he was unable to raise him. He was raised by his adoptive parents. His childhood experiences made him a bit strange.
If this guy likes anyone, he can do something inexplicable. For example, he once hinted that John Frank Heimer, the famous director who directed "The Road to War", was his biological father. Although the two were not related in a DNA test in the 1980s, he claimed that the DNA technology was not developed enough at that time.
He is so outrageous. He likes that he can recognize others as his father. If Guo Xu hadn't looked like him, he might have to take Guo Xu to do a DNA test. Maybe they are half-brothers?
Megan accompanied her to have dinner and chat, and occasionally interjected a few words, and her relationship with Michael Bay became much closer.
After the group parted, Megan asked curiously: "Do you want me to participate in his movies? Why don't you let me act in "Inception"?"
"You have also seen the heroine's setting, which is not suitable for you. And if we always show our love on the screen, the audience will get tired of it. They may also think of "The Innocence of the Dancer", and they will get out of the show when watching movies. Different from filming Michael's movies, you will prove your strength." Guo Xu explained.
Megan asked: "How do you know he will succeed?"
"Because he has never failed continuously, it is worth a gamble." Guo Xu smiled.
In 1994, Michael Bay's 29-year-old director's debut "The Jedi Men" won a box office of $140 million, and the following year, the director's "Brave the Deadly Island" won a box office of $340 million. Next, "The Peerless Tribulation" and "The Jedi Men 2" were also filmed well.
He always makes a splash and creates box office myths. "The youngest $100 million box office director" and "The youngest $100 million director". As of 2017, when Guo Xu's previous life, Michael Bay's cumulative box office reached 5.7 billion US dollars, ranking third in film history. This is not included in his badly filmed "Transformers 5".
Frequent explosions, fast and sharp editing, and fierce pursuit shots, these are Michael Bay's tags. Guo Xu, who likes popcorn movies, does like him very much.
With this dinner, Meghan will definitely be stable in "Transformers".
If she had a box office hit in a row, her pay would not be as low as in her previous life. She would have almost booked the status of a first-line actress. Acting is not a problem, and the box office is convincing. As long as "Transformers" hits the box office, many people might say that it was Meghan's credit.
