The main creators of the film crew and Yang Jian had dinner together as a way to promote the movie. Yang Jian didn't need to say anything, there would definitely be media speculation about why he had dinner with these people.
Moreover, there are three beauties traveling with us, which can easily arouse people's imagination.
When Yang Jian was interviewed, he talked about some things about the movie and started to promote it. His own traffic can save Universal a lot of trouble, so Universal executives now especially like to cooperate with Yang Jian.
Yang Jian asked Derek Croft to call Diane Kruger as well, saying that there was no need to avoid suspicion, it was just a small role.
On the way to the restaurant in Drake's car, Diane asked in surprise: "Why didn't you tell me before that you were friends with a superstar like Yang Jian?"
"I was afraid you wouldn't believe me and thought I was a liar, so I didn't say anything." Derek was a little proud. Just being friends with Yang Jian could satisfy his vanity.
Diane asked curiously: "Are you familiar with him? How did you meet him?"
"I am a fan of his. My parents and younger brother both live in Seattle. We are very familiar with each other. When the Sonics won the championship last season, he invited me to the team's championship party."
Diane smiled happily and felt like she was hugging the golden thigh. "What kind of person is he? Is he really a genius?"
"He is not an ordinary genius, the kind that makes people unbelievable. He has a photographic memory and easily memorizes all the lines when acting. Moreover, the script of "Fifty First Dates" released on Valentine's Day also includes "
The script of "The Ring" was all written by me and him together."
"He usually plays basketball and still has time to write scripts?"
"When he is free, now that the Sonics are winning consecutive games, he is very relaxed and has come up with two stories. When the Valentine's Day movie is released, you will be surprised when you watch it," Drake said.
"Did he do a good job?" Diane couldn't wait to go to the cinema to watch it.
"Yes, his acting skills may be the best in the entire cast. Moreover, the soundtracks in the movie all use his original music, and he also provided the accompaniment himself." Drake sighed.
"What? He also knows music?" Diane was dumbfounded.
"He is definitely the person who knows the most about music in the NBA. He can play several instruments, and his level of piano playing is particularly high. He is definitely a professional." Drake laughed.
"Is it really that powerful?" Diane couldn't believe it.
"After knowing Yang for a long time, you will find that he is always more powerful than you think. I have already seen clearly that geniuses and ordinary people are not the same creature at all."
"..."
Geniuses with talents in various fields are like superpowers in the eyes of ordinary people, and professional people can see the gap.
Needless to say, the field of scientific research is not accessible to ordinary people. For sports like basketball, if ordinary people playing wildball play against professional players, even the most bad professional players will score like crazy against ordinary people.
Yang Jian's game against fringe professional players is like playing against ordinary people. The gap is so big.
Derek also satisfied Diane's gossip mentality and told her that Yang Jian had three girlfriends and that the heroine was unofficially confirmed.
During the meal, Yang Jian, Naomi and Barrymore sat together, talking and laughing.
After Diane learned about their relationship, she felt that Hollywood was a bit dangerous and that the industry was too chaotic. This was much more chaotic than the modeling circle she was in before. She also realized one thing. If an actress has no backer, she can rely on her own ability.
It's so hard to get ahead in Hollywood.
With Naomi's image and temperament, she had no role to play before she became Yang Jian's girlfriend. Diane was absolutely sure that if she didn't have a backstage, she would definitely be dead in Hollywood.
Diane is determined to capture Drake's heart. As long as Drake is willing to promote her, she has a high chance of becoming famous in the future. She knows her strengths and weaknesses, and her only advantage is her appearance.
, my shortcoming is that I have never learned acting.
Diane is very ambitious and vows to become famous. She does not want to return to Europe as a loser after working hard in Hollywood.
During the meal, everyone decided on the approximate shooting time. The locations were in the city and suburbs of Seattle. Yang Jian could visit the crew at any time when she was not playing basketball.
Barrymore also said a few words about the scene and wished everyone a happy cooperation in advance.
As a producer in name only, she did a lot of preparatory work, and she was the one who negotiated the cooperation with Universal. After the filming started, she took no more care of it, and Drake needed to keep an eye on the set. For Huaer Pictures,
Drake has become an important member, and Barrymore recognizes his abilities.
After eating for a while, Yang Jian and Drake changed seats and sat together, chatting about the new script again. After thinking about it, he decided to finish the "Fast and Furious" script first.
Because this is a famous series, it is very important to get the IP first. In the parallel world, the quality of the first three movies was average, especially the 2 and 3 movies, which suffered a huge box office loss.
In the fourth film, Vin Diesel brought money into the team to save the series, and it gradually developed into a blockbuster film. If Yang Jian gets this IP, he can avoid a lot of detours when making movies.
He would not consider the terrible storyline and casting of the third film at all, and would just cancel the filming of other films.
Vin Diesel will not join the cast either. In the parallel world, Vin Diesel was still a villain in the first film and was kicked out after his performance. The box office proved that this is not good. People want to see the brotherhood of the two protagonists more.
When Yang Jian was revising the script, he was waiting for a story to connect the two protagonists reasonably. Even if he only filmed the story of one person, he still had to explain the whereabouts of the other person in the movie.
His plan is to make it like a Marvel movie in the future, with multiple characters forming an alliance to fight powerful enemies.
Yang Jian briefly talked about his idea and Drake liked it very much. He likes action movies and drag racing scenes, and wanted to add some kung fu elements. Yang Jian did not let him use his imagination and gave him one after the meal.
Big framework.
Drake will write the story according to this structure, and the plot will not deviate too much from the first part of Parallel World. Yang Jian will also put forward some opinions and strive to make the magic modification more exciting.
That night, Naomi went to Yang Jian's hotel to stay. She was very excited and had a lot to talk to Yang Jian.
They talked a lot and the movie was finalized. Naomi was the heroine for the first time. She was especially grateful to Yang Jian for giving her the opportunity to prove herself.
"Don't be so polite to me. I should be nice to you. There will be big-budget movies for you to make in the future. For small-scale productions like this, you just get to know each other and gain experience." Yang Jian said with a smile.
"Oh? What blockbuster movie are you planning for me to star in?" Naomi asked leaning against his chest.
"It's being kept secret for the time being. The preparation period for that movie will be relatively long and we won't be able to shoot it for the time being. We can only shoot it when Huaer Pictures is on the right track and can handle large-scale production. At the beginning, the company will make horror movies first, mainly romantic comedies.
It’s easier to develop, and in 1998 I thought I could make an action movie.”
Naomi asked: "Is this the drag racing movie you were thinking of?"
"Yes, I like this genre very much and would like to make it into a series in the future. As long as the first part is shot well, the rest will be much easier. I have recently finished the script."
"You are focused on the entertainment industry, won't you be distracted by playing basketball?" Naomi asked with a smile.
"No, I know I have the ability to make good movies. It would be a waste of talent if I don't do something. In the future, you will know that I am not bragging. I can also play basketball well. We will definitely have the last laugh this season."
The next night, Yang Jian strongly proved this point.
Yang Jian played 36 minutes and scored 25 points, 4 rebounds, 17 assists and 4 steals. He led the SuperSonics team with 4 players scoring 20 points and five players scoring in double figures, winning 114-97.
Booutero also performed well in this game, scoring 10 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. Facing his old club, he got 27 minutes of playing time. He performed well on the defensive end and was also able to take advantage of the offensive end.
After winning this game, the Sonics have won 38 consecutive games, significantly improving their winning streak.
Many media exclaimed that the SuperSonics are 80% on track to win 40 consecutive games!
