Five Hundred and Ninety-Eight-This Movie Made by a Foreigner Is Also Evil.
"...This place is quiet and quiet, and it can be regarded as one of the oldest residential areas."
"Houhai..." Wayne didn't say much along the way, but when he asked the driver to drive to the north side of the city's west district, he muttered softly as the girl explained with her head hollowed out.
The woman turned her head curiously, looked at the calm man next to her, and asked curiously: "Do you know this place?"
Nodding silently, Wayne patted the front seat, waited for the car to stop, opened the door and walked out, with a loneliness that no one could understand in his eyes.
Sanhai is the general name of this area. It includes three artificial lakes: Qianhai, Houhai and West Sea. The West Sea has a more resounding nickname: Jishuitan.
Its approximate location is along the north of Beihai Park, bounded by Gulou West Street to the west to near Xijiekou. This large area is actually only about three kilometers away. It is basically composed of antique square and courtyard houses. These three artificial lakes are Surrounded.
As far as the eye can see, the adults living nearby are holding cattail fans to enjoy the coolness. It is now past the spring season and the weather is the hottest season. In the distance, several children in groups of three or five are clearing the water. swimming and playing in the lake. The water flow here is constant all year round, so you can still see people fishing in the shade by the lake.
Nowadays, there is neither a bar street nor a popular tourist area, so everything on display tells outsiders that the pace of life here is much slower than in other places.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly, and Wayne silently led a group of people as they walked slowly along Houhai. People enjoying the cool air looked at this strange combination and cast their gazes as if they were looking at a Western scene.
Every plant and tree here seemed to bring back the deepest childhood memories in his mind. Sitting on a bench under the shade of the trees, looking at the familiar cruise ship dock on the other side of the lake, his eyes changed from the inability to focus just now. , changed into a purposeful glance.
"It's full of life here, which is very different from the rhythm of this city." Nina looked at her boss and spoke to break the silence.
"Let's go."
Shaking his head, Wayne stood up and once again glanced at the small yard across the road behind him with a very obscure look, at the pomegranate tree sprouting from the wall, and at the same time, a feeling grew in his heart. He lowered his head and walked in the direction of the car.
After the car left Houhai, he seemed to suddenly let go of some fantasy in his heart. When the car stopped again, they walked and chatted in low voices. Occasionally, Nina would say "Hello" in a stuttering voice. ”, greeting people who smile at her.
Go up to the White Tower, pass the east gate, go straight to Jingshan, and finally face the old palace that the girl tried her best to introduce. However, Wayne smiled and shook his head, turned around and led the way into the Qianmen main store. Everyone was gathered together, and it was not until dark that the group sat down. Get on the bus and return to Jingcheng Hotel.

"Some of the information I have learned is that in Hollywood, there have always been unspoken rules for actresses. Is this true?"
After an afternoon of contact, the woman asked more and more direct questions. When the car stopped at the hotel, she accepted the invitation to continue chatting without any hesitation.
In the living room of the hotel suite, Wayne handed the girl a glass of red wine, tilted his head and looked her up and down again, shook his head with a smile, stretched out a finger and shook it in front of the girl's face.
“In North America, there’s never been such a thing as unspoken rules.”
Before the woman could ask any questions, he sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and exhaled a cloud of smoke, and continued: "Because in Hollywood, these things have been put away directly for decades. On the surface, I think you should have heard of interesting things like the red sofa."
All I can say is that the flow of information now is not as fast as it will be in the future. In just a few years, this information will be flooded on the Internet. For interesting things like the red sofa, more than one Hollywood star has publicly talked about his experience.
"In Hollywood, as long as it is related to the film and television entertainment industry, it is a male-dominated society without exception. Whether it is the powerful executives of the film company or the main people in charge of the crew, 100% More than ninety years old are composed of men.
However, handsome men and beautiful women from all over the Western world are constantly rushing to Los Angeles to pursue the so-called dream of fame and fortune. This has created a competitiveness that is unmatched by any entertainment industry in the world. When you have a small supporting role with only one or two lines and you have to fight openly and secretly with dozens of people, some things that originally existed in the dark will be made public by everyone. "
These things exist objectively, and Wayne has no need to hide it. In his eyes, the Hollywood circle has never been a world film center that needs to be packaged with art. Instead, he prefers to be called a cesspool, a place where everyone A pit where ruthless people keep wallowing in pursuit of fame and fortune.
In his memory, the woman beside him was definitely one of such ruthless people. This woman didn't lack brains, didn't care about the opinions of outsiders, and didn't lack the ruthlessness.
"Have you ever used a similar method?" The woman swallowed, picked up the wine glass and looked at the man sideways and asked, "I mean, have you ever used a method like the red sofa?"
Looking at Chi Chi's big eyes, Wayne simply ignored the innocence and curiosity in them. He never believed that these were superb performances, so he picked up the glass and drank it all.
"I never had to resort to that kind of tactics."
The meaning of his words was easy to understand. The woman glanced at Nina who was looking down at the magazine by the window. She rolled her eyes as if she had made some determination. She stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, staring into the man's eyes and asked. : "Do you think I have the talent to act in Hollywood?"
As she spoke, she put down her wine glass, stood up from the sofa, and looked at the man with a hint of provocation that all adults would understand.
Compared with the big North American girls that Wayne comes into contact with most often, this woman's figure is not explosive. She can barely be said to be bulging forward and backward. But from her face to her figure, this woman exudes a unique Eastern softness. What's even more rare is that this face is absolutely beautiful even from a Western aesthetic perspective.
Different from the mainstream aesthetics of Asians in Hollywood and the modeling industry, her glasses are neither slender nor have a huge sunken nose. Everything seems to be exquisite and just right.
"Hey, girl, I have to tell you." Wayne crossed his legs, took a long puff of cigarette, leaned on the sofa and looked at the woman, shrugged and said: "Your appearance is very good, but no one can guarantee that you will be... The shots are still excellent. Coupled with the differences caused by different cultures and the unknown performance level of an actor, I can't judge."
Zi Yi's heart had already dropped, but when she saw the man's unmoved gaze and lazy attitude, she almost gave up her plan, turned around and left the suite that made her feel humiliated.
Isn't my hint clear enough? The woman gritted her teeth and tried hard to keep her chest straight and her head raised, showing off her best curves. She lowered her head slightly and looked into the man's eyes again. "As you said, at least the appearance meets your requirements, right? As for the basic performance level of an actor, I think you can check it out yourself."
The woman's voice was not quiet. Coupled with this scene, Nina glanced at it and curled her lips, closed the magazine, stretched out her hands behind the woman's back to make a reassuring gesture to her boss, stood up and walked towards her room. , no longer paying attention to the special audition in the living room.
Although it was only a short time, she had already investigated it through Bernard Thompson of Warner Brothers. This woman was an adult. At least from a legal perspective, there was no legal risk in her consent. This was also her decision. The main reason for that gesture.
Wayne saw the assistant's gesture, tilted his head and looked at the woman in front of him, thinking in his mind whether to hold a special audition. He understands better than anyone else that this woman is definitely not simple, and he knows even more clearly how deep her fate is with Warner Brothers.
"Smart woman, you've earned your spot in this interview..."
The night in Beijing flew by. Early the next morning, when Bernard Thompson and the entourage of China Film and Television accompanied Wayne on their way to the airport, everyone discovered that there was an additional woman in the team. This woman was among the crowd. In his eyes, he yawned as if no one else was watching, and got into a car with the director from Hollywood...
This year's Chunchang International Film Festival, although it claims to be an international film festival, is the least conspicuous among the three major film festivals in this land. However, with the appearance of a special person this time, Guests and a special premiere film have focused the attention of all filmmakers in this land on the northernmost city.
Wayne Greenberg is an unfamiliar name to most movie fan groups. If it weren't for the news bombarded by the media in the past two days, most ordinary people would not be interested in this name, but this name In the film industry, it always has a unique meaning.
A red carpet was rolled out in front of the Changying Cinema. Hundreds of reporters were gathered on one side, and some movie fans gathered on the other side. The number of people was not large, but the atmosphere was very good.
"coming."
Suddenly, the flashlights in the media area came on violently, causing the onlookers to squint their glasses. Wearing a dark suit, Wayne walked neatly onto the red carpet alone. It was still his red carpet style, with no intention of stopping in his steps. Except for occasionally waving to fans and media reporters, he finished the red carpet in a relatively short time.
"The movie this guy made is so awesome. I asked for leave this time just to watch the new Batman."
Among the onlookers, a man in his forties wearing glasses was chatting loudly with a movie fan he had just met next to him.
"Who says it isn't?" The man who spoke looked like he was no more than thirty years old, and his accent was said to be that of a local. "To say that this movie made by a foreigner is also evil, Tiezi, have you seen the "Joker"? I think that movie is the most evil, and it can make people fall into it without knowing it. Every time I watch it, I have to think about it for several days."
"What can I say..."
