Brown Veitch held a glass of wine and motioned to Shao Shuaijun. This is a villa area for wealthy people in Los Angeles. It is built on the hillside and overlooks the brightly lit panorama of Hollywood. Brown is the president of Miramax Pictures, who took over from Harry
"Painted Skin" was the first film he tried after getting involved in the Mira company mess.
"Painted Skin" did not disappoint expectations. It became a dark horse and won the weekend box office championship with US$30.28 million. It was released for more than a week, with a total box office of US$41.05 million. Excluding theater sharing and publicity expenses, it can ensure a small profit and future box office
It's a net profit.
Brown, who was in a good mood, immediately hosted a banquet for Shao Shuaijun and others at his villa. Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Xie Tingfeng, Zhen Bull, Sun Li and others all got rid of the domestic propaganda and came to the United States to enjoy this glorious moment.
.In the original plan, we never imagined that "Painted Skin" would be such a success in the United States, so we still focused on promotion in Asia, and the leading actors flew around Asia.
However, "Painted Skin" bucked the trend and rose in the United States, immediately giving investors a golden opportunity.
Working hard in Asia is not as good as making a fortune in the United States.
After a short discussion, the investors made a temporary decision to let the leading actors come to the United States to promote. This led to tonight's villa dinner.
Shao Shuaijun shook the bright red wine in the goblet. It was said to be produced at the Chateau Lysalus in Sauternes, France, and Brown's private collection. According to his boast, this red wine was the world's top quality, grown on a single grapevine.
Only a small cup of wine can be made from the grapes, and even the grapes from some years are not up to standard and cannot be used to make a bottle of wine.
No matter how powerful Brown brags, in Shao Shuaijun's eyes, it should be mixed with Sprite to taste: "It doesn't matter whether Hollywood welcomes me or not, it's enough that the American audience welcomes me."
"Haha, you are right. As long as you are willing to pay for it, no matter whether it is Hollywood or Bollywood, it is a good movie. Cheers for the US dollar!"
"Cheers." Shao Shuaijun took a sip of red wine. It was a bit bitter. He couldn't tell that this thing was delicious at all. However, what he drank was not the wine, but the taste. "Grape wine luminous cup. If you want to drink, Pipa will remind you immediately."
Don't laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times. Good wine. Good poetry!"
"What?" Brown asked curiously.
"A poem written by an ancient Chinese said that the soldiers' lives will end before they know when, so why not enjoy themselves in time." Shao Shuaijun smiled.
"Haha. Yes, it's time to have fun. Did you see that our blonde beauties in Hollywood are already calling you with their eyes? I won't hinder you young people." Brown smiled and patted Shao Shuaijun on the shoulder, turned and left.
, the meaning is self-evident.
As soon as Brown left, a tall blonde beauty walked over with a glass of champagne. Before she even got close, a tangy scent of perfume rolled into her nostrils. The beauty raised the champagne and said, "Hi, from China.
Hello, great director. My name is Christina."
"Hello." Shao Shuaijun turned his nose calmly. Such a strong perfume was either a matter of taste or to cover up the odor on his body. No matter which one, Shao Shuaijun was not interested.
"I watched "Painted Skin", a great movie. I was so moved after watching it. A director who can make such a great movie must be a romantic and passionate director. Meet the director himself
, I have to say that my idea is correct, you are very handsome, cool, young and full of masculinity, this is the charm of Oriental people."
The blonde beauty chirped with praises, then gently leaned towards Shao Shuaijun, with a teasing look in her eyes: "Don't you want to know my phone number? You can ask me out for coffee alone."
Um, is this considered a pick-up, or is it an attempt to be unspoken?
Shao Shuaijun was speechless.
He really wants to say that although you look hot from a distance, you are too tall, your skin is too rough, your makeup is too thick, and your perfume is too pungent. You are open enough for him to appreciate, but you are not sensitive to anything else.
"Sorry, I'm afraid I don't have time to ask you out."
The blond beauty didn't bother, nodded and left. After the blond beauty, several hot beauties came over to strike up a conversation. Unfortunately, Shao Shuaijun didn't have much interest in European and American people. He always felt that European and American people's skin was too rough.
The pores are too large and not as delicate as Asian skin.
After going back and forth several times, Shao Shuaijun seemed to be a gay and had no interest in women. The blonde beauties who hit the wall one after another naturally ignored his existence and looked for their prey. Shao Shuaijun was left alone holding a bottle of red wine that was difficult to swallow.
, looked at the men and women under the light with great interest.
Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun obviously became the focus of the audience. The popularity of "Painted Skin" made them two Chinese stars familiar to Americans again after Zhang Ziyi in the mainland. Countless Hollywood young and old handsome guys, such as
They were as clingy as flies. However, Zhen Bull and Xie Tingfeng were very relaxed, chatting and laughing with several blonde beauties.
After a while, Chen Kun and Sun Li joined Shao Shuaijun's camp. The three of them sat on the sofa and talked boringly. Shao Shuaijun found it boring, Chen Kun was a little depressed, and Sun Li was not taken seriously. The three of them seemed to be isolated from social interaction.
outside the circle.
"Boss, when are you going to film "Twilight"? I bought the novel and read it several times. It's really good." Sun Li was speechless.
"It should be soon. We have already made preparations for it. "Twilight" is quite simple and can be shot very quickly."
Shao Shuaijun said boringly that somehow, after "Painted Skin" became a success, he suddenly had no interest in filming "Twilight". Indeed, "Twilight" has the foreshadowing of the novel and an example of future success. As long as he uses it a little bit
For snacks, these movies will become popular all over the world.
But, is there anything worthy of praise in "Twilight"?
Apart from box office, what’s the point?
As for the box office, if he hires someone to shoot it, he can still get the box office, so why waste his time.
For fame?
He really doesn't think that any of the directors who made "The Twilight Saga" in his previous life became famous, or won an award, or whatever. Such a boring popcorn movie, if he was still a
A complete newcomer may be praised based on the box office of the movie.
But now he has hit Hollywood three times, and he has achieved his wish to win the weekly championship. In the Mainland, no one else except Zhang Yimou! And "Painted Skin" in a week is almost equivalent to the box office of "Hero" in a month. He is in the United States
His business achievements will far exceed those of Zhang Yimou.
"Perhaps, when "Painted Skin" comes to an end, I will have to reorient my direction... Before that, let me listen to my cheers again!"
Bring over a glass of juice and pour it into your own red wine.
Gudong.
After drinking it in one gulp, I felt it tasted great.
This is what red wine should taste like! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
