Just when Yi Feiyang was talking to Spielberg, suddenly the black movie star Will Smith came over to say hello to Spielberg.
"Nice to meet you, Will, you don't look very good..." Spielberg smiled and shook hands with Will Smith.
Will Smith shook his head, "It's not bad, it's terrible, especially recently...you know, those public opinions have a great influence on me."
"Hey, Will, relax, those people are just snobby people. You will soon regain your strength and step out of the shadow of "Bad Boys"!" Spielberg patted him understandingly.
Will Smith's shoulder and responded with the friendliest smile.
"Thank you, Steven, you are a good man." Will showed a trace of gratitude on his face and looked around inadvertently. Those people who were singing and laughing did not pay attention to what was happening here at all, and a sense of loss arose spontaneously.
"Strike Men"? Yi Feiyang suddenly realized.
It turns out that Will Smith filmed this action movie last year, but the box office was not very good, and the reputation was even worse. The average score on imdb was only 4.1, which is just on the edge of the pile of bad movies. And Jasmine, who always likes to add insult to injury,
Of course, the Berry Awards did not miss this opportunity and gave it five awards including Best Picture and Best Director. However, the judges still let Will Smith go and gave the film the nomination for Worst Actor.
Kevin Kline, the other star of "The Movie". Naturally, film critics will not be polite to such a bad movie. Of the 101 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, 80 of them were spitting.
Some of the evaluations of this drama are even more harsh, such as:
What is puzzling is how such a first-rate lineup could go astray? --- "Detroit News"
The most hollow Hollywood movie in recent times. ---Channel 4
Faced with such a situation, the hard-pressed Will Smith wanted to slap himself in the face a few times. And this is not the worst, the worst is that in order to star in this cheating "Guide", he actually rejected Wo
"The Matrix" by the Chowski Brothers!
In other words, if Will hadn't been kicked in the head by a donkey when he was choosing a movie, then the person who created the hacker miracle would have been Will Smith, not Keanu Reeves!
No matter what, Will Smith is at a low point, but as a great director, Spielberg certainly won't be so short-sighted, because in his opinion, Will is definitely a very capable actor. This low point is only short-lived.
Will definitely make a comeback.
"Believe me, Will, you are a good actor. If you can encounter a good script, then you will definitely be able to shoot a better movie!" Spielberg said, "Look at me, I keep talking to you. Forget
I want to introduce you to a good friend. If you can get his help, maybe a miracle will happen..."
Before Yi Feiyang could recover, Spielberg directly pulled Will Smith over, "This is the famous screenwriter and director, Mr. Yi Feiyang! His nickname is Miraculous Yang, the God of Miracles!"
Me, the God of Miracles?
Yi Feiyang was stunned for a moment. This Spielberg is so awesome!
Will Smith was also stunned, but he immediately recognized who Yi Feiyang was.
The shadow of a famous tree, not to mention that Yi Feiyang is now quite famous in Hollywood. He has shot several movies that have exceeded 100 million each and received double praise at the box office. This time he was nominated for the best screenwriter. It can be said that he has a great reputation. Will Smith
How could you not know?
"Director Yi. Hello, I'm Will Smith." Will also calmed down and shook hands with Yi Feiyang enthusiastically, his tone of voice was extremely respectful, which made Yi Feiyang feel quite comfortable.
"Nice to meet you, Will! I appreciate your acting skills, especially the movie "Independence Day" you starred in!" Yi Feiyang laughed and shook Will's hand vigorously.
"Haha, you two talk first, I'm going to meet an old friend!" Spielberg saw that the two were happy when they met, and left with understanding. Let the two young people talk more. After all, as young people,
They must have much more in common than this old man.
Will and Yi Feiyang both nodded, and Spielberg went to another place with a refreshing glass of wine.
One is a young director who has just become famous, and the other is a well-known black movie star in Hollywood. The intersection of the two has attracted the attention of many people around them.
"Look, man, that Chinese Yi is with Will Smith!"
"Yes, does it mean that China Yi wants to cooperate with him?"
"Maybe, Will is at a low point now, and China Yi is famous for turning stone into gold. If these two people can get together, there will be a good show!"
…
People around were talking a lot, but Yi Feiyang ignored them all, but Will Smith's dark face turned red. He didn't want to be said to have come to Yi Feiyang to sing on stage for the purpose of "resurrection"...
Who is Yi Feiyang? One look at Will's look that was more uncomfortable than "constipation", and you knew that he was thinking too much. So Yi Feiyang smiled and said: "Don't worry too much, man, those guys are just
I like to pick up gossip about other people, keep my mouth on their lips, and let them say whatever they like!"
Will didn't expect Yi Feiyang to persuade him like this, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "You are right, if I take all their words to heart, my life will be too tiring!"
"Haha, to be honest, Will, I really admire you. These are not polite words, but my sincere words. How can I put it this way? Your acting skills and your love for people in movies are very touching to me...
"
"No, you must not say that... In fact, I also admire you very much. Yes, I also went to the cinema to watch your movies "Dance Floor" and "Saw". This is simply unimaginable to me.
, it’s the same person who shoots such a completely different style of movie! Yi, you amaze me.”
"Actually, it's nothing. I'm like a child who likes the new and hates the old. For the same type of movies, I feel boring after shooting too many, so I took the initiative to try other types of movies. God bless, it was a success!" Yi Feiyang smiled.
said.
"Oh yes, it was indeed very successful... If I remember correctly, the total box office of your movie "Dance Floor" exceeded 700 million, right? I really can't imagine that anyone in the world can spend tens of millions of dollars to make such a wonderful film.
movie!" Will smiled friendly and seemed very sincere.
"Haha, you are ridiculous. The global box office of that movie did exceed 700 million, but it also set a very high threshold for me. I don't know when I can break this figure!" Yi Feiyang said slightly.
And Xiao, although he doesn't know when he will be able to break his own record, his unusual self-confidence makes him extremely unique.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Yi Feiyang has soared too high this time. The box office of more than 700 million is not so easy to break. For example, a certain comedy director in the previous life of the Chinese Dynasty filmed a movie "People on the Road to Thailand"
, dominating Chinese-language films at the box office, reaching an incredible 1.2 billion!
Such a high box office also put great pressure on the director, so much so that he was cautious in selecting films, and proactively told the media: "Perhaps, I will be the first director whose box office is getting less and less!" Although it was self-deprecating.
, but he is also giving the media an anti-epidemic shot to prevent everyone from having too high expectations of him and being praised in the end.
Yi Feiyang is different. Yi Feiyang has an innate advantage, that is, he can "see the future." Therefore, his words are not his humble words, but a declaration of self-challenge!
Will Smith is not a fool. When he heard Yi Feiyang say this and looked at the confident expression on his face, he knew that he was telling the truth. If he said he couldn't break it, he was very confident of breaking it, so Will Smith said
: "Perhaps you can break this record soon... I heard that the first cartoon you prepared will be released soon. In the past few days, newspapers and TV have been introducing "Speed Snail" in endless articles. Haha, I am very optimistic about this drama.
Ah!" Will took two cocktails from the waiter passing by, handed one to Yi Feiyang, and the two touched it gently.
"I'm also looking forward to it. After all, this drama is like my child. It has been produced for almost a year. Yes, I am really looking forward to it, what he will look like and whether people will like him... Well
, if nothing else happens, it will be officially released next month, to be precise, it will be online in 3,000 theaters across the United States at the same time." Yi Feiyang smiled and took a sip of his cocktail, his words full of confidence.
"Oh, showing it in 3,000 theaters at the same time? That's really a big deal!" Will was not surprised. The recent publicity campaign of "Speed Snail" was extraordinary, and Raymond, the boss of Paramount, which cooperated with Fantasy Pictures, saw
I feel quite confident, otherwise I wouldn’t have had 3,000 cinemas online at the same time.
"But there will be several blockbuster films to be released next month. Yes, you may encounter very strong opponents then!"
"Haha, let's let the storm come more violently. There is motivation only when there is pressure, isn't it?" Yi Feiyang raised the corner of his mouth and asked.
Will nodded appreciatively. This is the domineering power of a great director. The best time of the year is always a few days. If you want to be the best director, you have to take advantage of those well-known directors.
"Okay, Will, to be honest, I really hope to cooperate with you if I have the opportunity, but I don't know what you think?" Yi Feiyang changed the topic and proposed a cooperation plan.
"This... if there is a good script, I think I would of course be willing to cooperate with you!" Will hesitated for a moment. Having learned from the experience of being kicked in the head by a donkey, you should be careful when choosing a film!
Yi Feiyang could see Will Smith's concerns, and knowing it well, he did not bring the topic to cooperation, but just chatted with Will about romance and interesting things about the movie.
In just a few minutes, Will Smith's affection for Yi Feiyang greatly increased. The two talked and laughed, but they forgot about the others who chose their last names.
