As a director, you must be good at observing others. As a "ghost" director, Quentin is even more so...
"Juice, or soda?"
"Well, let's have a glass of juice." Jessica smiled, but after saying that, she couldn't help but look at Yi Feiyang.
"Is there something wrong with you?" Quentin asked.
"Ah, what?"
"Your eyes are always looking that way, you know, and it seems to me like you're uneasy."
"What's the matter? Haha, I just...damn it!" Jessica lowered her head hurriedly.
Over there, Yi Feiyang looked over.
"What?" Quentin didn't understand why this girl was hiding from someone like a spy.
Quentin looked towards the side where Jessica was hiding, but saw that there was no one acting sneakily over there. Oh no, there was a special person, the Chinese who looked very elegant. Yes, although Quentin didn't
I know him, but among the many people, he feels like he stands out from the crowd.
"Are you avoiding that guy?"
"What?" Jessica asked in a low voice hiding under the table.
"That's the handsome young man. To be precise, he should be Chinese."
"Hey, how do you know?" Jessica was a little surprised.
"Because he's looking this way."
"Ah, has he seen me?" Jessica asked hurriedly.
"Probably not, he turned around again, yes, he left, left." Quentin said with a smile.
"Phew, it's okay." Jessica sighed and raised her head again. "Damn guy, he messed up my beautiful hairstyle every time he was surprised."
"Hi, dear lady, who is he to you? Are you afraid of him? Is he a bad guy? Do you want me to call security to come over and help?" Quentin asked with great concern.
"No, of course not! There is no need to trouble those security guys, they are busy enough, there are so many people tonight, haha... Let me explain to you, that guy is the guy you saw,
He is a friend of mine, but...it's just that I owe him a little money, yes, just a little...You know it's embarrassing to owe someone money, and I've been a little tight lately, so
, Haha, it’s better to hide!” Jessica explained in a messy manner, which made Quentin understand it.
"I understand what you mean. Yes, it's really bad to not repay someone you owe money. I often did this before...but damn, my friends have never collected debts like this!"
"That's because your friend is very loyal, unlike me. You know, he is a famous stingy guy. He can chase debts from Hong Kong to the United States, and then from the United States to here!" Jessica said more and more.
It's addictive, it's just nonsense.
"Well, he's quite persistent, but I'm curious, how much money do you owe him for letting him pursue you so hard?" Quentin couldn't help but ask.
"I said, just a little bit, yes, just a little bit." Jessica didn't expect Quentin to be so serious, "Of course, if you are willing to help me, maybe things will turn around."
"You mean...borrow money from me?"
"Oh no, how could I do this? We just met...Oh God, am I just borrowing money from people everywhere?" Jessica explained quickly.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, but how do you need me to help you?" Quentin asked.
"It's very simple. I like to be self-reliant. Yes, I use my own strength to repay this debt. You are a director, and I happen to be an actor..." Jessica said in a "No need to say more"
He looked at Quentin Tarantino with his eyes.
Quentin suddenly laughed, "I have to admit, dear Miss Jessica, your acting skills are really good."
"Ah, is that right? You know that I am good at acting even if you haven't seen it? Do you want me to tell you a few of the dramas I have acted in so that you can go back and watch them? Maybe, I am really suitable for your new script..." Jessica
I'm glad, look, this genius director still has "vision".
"No, you misunderstood me. What I meant was...your role of pretending to be in debt is great!"
"Why am I pretending to be in debt...?"
Quentin said nothing, just shrugged.
"Well, okay, I admit, everything I just said is a lie!" Jessica surrendered, why are these damn bastards so monkey-like?!
"Okay, now would you like to introduce to me who that gentleman is and why you are avoiding him?" Quentin couldn't help but laugh.
"You're talking about him, he is the boss of Fantasy Pictures and the director of "Ghost Story", China Yi, Yi Feiyang!"
"Oh, it's him!" Quentin Tarantino couldn't help but be surprised.
The reason why Quentin is surprised by Yi Feiyang is not that Yi Feiyang's skills are huge. In terms of popularity, fame, reputation, and strength, Yi Feiyang today is not at Quentin's level.
Quentin was surprised because of Yi Feiyang's unconventional behavior. In Hollywood, Quentin felt that he was already "alternative" enough. Whether it was filming or his background, it surprised many people. However, the Chinese Yi Feiyang in front of him was more special than himself.
Even more awesome, he can earn 200 million from selling movies, and he can scare people to death when filming. Now he is back, instead of continuing to make horror movies, he turned around and started making porn movies again!
God, what kind of freak is this?!
…
At this moment, Yi Feiyang, the "freak" in Quentin Tarantino's eyes, no longer has the time to stay here.
If it weren't for Gusta's promise to cash in 24 million box office dividends tonight, Yi Feiyang might have left this ghost place long ago.
Fortunately, over there, Frank Gusta was surrounded by a group of people chatting for a while, and finally saw Yi Feiyang standing in the distance, feeling very idle.
Gusta secretly laughed in his heart. This Chinese Yi looked very out of place. He didn't know whether it was because he looked down on those people or because those people refused to accept him... Although he was very talented, he was a Chinese with dark eyes and yellow skin after all.
, isn’t it?!
"Well, let him wait a little longer and sharpen this guy's spirit!" Gusta said to himself as he looked at Yi Feiyang who was pacing and wanted to leave, but couldn't bear to return empty-handed.
Another five or six minutes passed.
Gusta glanced at Yi Feiyang during the conversation, but unexpectedly, Yi Feiyang seemed to be unable to wait any longer and was about to turn around and leave.
"Oh, young man, your patience is really bad." Gusta said, waving to Yi Feiyang, and then said: "Hi, dear Yi, I'm here!"
Yi Feiyang, who turned his back, raised the corner of his mouth and thought, "Nonsense, of course I know where you are. If you hadn't pretended to leave, I guess you, an old fox, wouldn't have called me!"
Slowly turning around, Yi Feiyang made an expression as if he had just discovered a new world, "Hey, Mr. Gusta, so you are here!" As he said this, he walked towards Gusta,
Yi Feiyang's acting skills are so great. If Gusta hadn't already understood the mystery, he would have been deceived by the illusion he made.
"Come, dear friends, let me introduce to you. This is my friend --- China Yi, Yi Feiyang! He has filmed several very good movies, you may have heard of his name!" Gus
Ta introduced it to the people around him.
Yi Feiyang knew a few people around Gusta, such as Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. These two people they met in the toilet just now were considered "friends"; as for the old movie star holding a pipe
Of course Yi Feiyang also knows George Rooney; as for the female stars around these men, Yi Feiyang only knows two, one is the female star Famke Janssen who became popular with "Deep Chill", and the other is
It's Milla Jovovich, the heroine of "Survivor" whom Yi Feiyang liked very much in his previous life.
These people are either directors or celebrities, and they pay more attention to understanding and politeness in situations than ordinary people. Therefore, after Gusta completed the introduction, he took the initiative to say, "Hello, nice to meet you."
No matter how disdainful he is for Yi Feiyang deep down, he will not show it. However, there is one exception, and this person is Stephen Sommers, who has directed the film "Deep Chill".
After listening to Gusta's introduction, Stephen immediately sneered and said: "Oh, I thought who made Mr. Gusta so interested, it turned out to be the Chinese director who made money from dead people and is now making pornographic films!
"
Harsh!
Very harsh!
As the saying goes, you don't slap someone in the face, and you don't expose your shortcomings when you scold someone. This Stephen not only slapped Yi Feiyang in the face in front of so many people, but also exposed his shortcomings mercilessly, making it clear that he was looking for trouble...
Therefore, as soon as he said these words, the surroundings immediately fell silent. Everyone looked at Yi Feiyang and Stephen with strange eyes. Especially those who knew Stephen, they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, what happened to this guy today?
?!
It turns out that this Stephen Sommers filmed the super blockbuster "Cold" this year. The filming lasted 85 days and was all shot in Vancouver and its surrounding areas. Most of the scenes in the film took place in the shipyard on Vancouver's North Shore. The crew
Crews built many major sets in this historic shipyard, including the engine room, passenger ship exteriors, upper and lower decks, and two corridors that will be flooded by seawater. The scaffolding alone cost $1 million. In a word, this
This drama is very expensive.
I originally thought that this suspenseful and thrilling sci-fi blockbuster, which Stephen Sommers worked hard to create at the cost of countless dollars, would be a big hit at the box office. But I never expected that the film would be a box office hit in its first week of release in North America.
4.73 million U.S. dollars, ranking eighth. The final box office revenue was 11.2 million U.S. dollars, almost not even recovering the cost.
For a director, poor box office is a fatal knife!
This is the case for Stephen. As a well-known director, he capsized in the gutter this time and was considered to have stepped on shit. Bu Wei Film Company, which invested in the film "Deep Chill", regarded him as a bad god.
It can be said that Stephen's luck has been very bad from the beginning to the end of the year.
With the precedent of failed directing, many film companies that were originally optimistic about him no longer dare to hand him an olive branch easily, let alone let him direct a drama with an investment of over 10 million. In short, Stephen is very leisurely this year.
You can count the stars and watch ants climb the trees...
But this is not the life he wants. Yes, he is a restless person and is born for movies!
When he was a little kid, riding a bicycle and running wildly on a horse, his favorite thing to do was to use his pocket money to buy movie tickets, and then sit in the movie theater, chewing popcorn, and watching his favorite movies.
's movie.
Movies are his soul and life!
So he must find an opportunity to make a comeback and continue to be a director and make movies!
Finally, Stephen informed through his friend Famke Janssen...the heroine of his unlucky movie that after Christmas, Lionsgate Pictures will make big moves in filming and will probably invest in a movie.
A blockbuster worth around 10 million yuan.
Originally, according to Stephen's big-name personality, he still looked down on medium-sized film companies like Lionsgate Pictures. He had always cooperated with big companies like Universal, Warner, and Fox. Even the last time he cooperated with Bowie Films
industry, behind which is also the support of Universal Corporation.
However, he is now unlucky and has no room to pick and choose, so he bites the bullet and comes to Lionsgate Pictures' Christmas party. By the way, he finds Mr. Gusta and communicates to see if he can bring the company to the next year.
The play was handed over to him to direct.
I originally thought that, as a big name in the directing industry, I would be so shameless that Lionsgate Pictures would definitely be able to capture future big productions.
But he was wrong.
Gusta, that damn guy, actually played hide-and-seek with him. Whenever he mentioned this matter, the other person would dodge left and right, or just look around. He... wasn't sincere at all.
Stephen felt that he had almost lost all his face. In the past, many big bosses of companies had written scripts and brought them to him in person, crying and begging to let him direct and shoot them. Now he took the initiative to send them to his door, but he was actually being teased.
So irritating!
Stephen was so angry that he had no place to vent. Just at this time, Gusta introduced Yi Feiyang. Seeing that Gusta was so "enthusiastic" towards Yi Feiyang, a young Chinese director, he compared it with his "experience" just now
,Suddenly, Stephen felt that he had been greatly insulted.
Yes, that's too much!
How could this be possible?!
Stephen's anger was vented directly at Yi Feiyang, and his words were harsh, as if he was an enemy from a lifetime ago.
Yi Feiyang was confused. He didn't seem to know this guy who suddenly appeared at all. Why did he hate himself so much?
Faced with Stephen's extremely harsh words, Yi Feiyang could only say innocently: "I'm sorry, are you..."
"I'm Stephen Sommers. What, don't you know me?" Stephen raised his nose, looking arrogant.
Yi Feiyang smiled, looking at the guy in front of him who was looking for a "nothing to do", and thought to himself, what's going on today? So many people ask him if he recognizes the Pars Hilton in front of him, and the Stephen now.
- Sommers, are these Americans too narcissistic?! (To be continued.)
