Chapter 244. [The president who wants to break into the entertainment industry]
White House!
The most famous mansion in the world.
The residence of the President of the United States, the world’s hegemon.
It can be said that the people living here represent the most powerful and influential people.
The White House is open, because you have the opportunity to visit here, and even have the opportunity to have dinner with the dear President. Of course, the premise is that you must be good, or you must be lucky.
The White House is closed because it is heavily guarded and has many sentries. If you don't get close to it, you will be arrested as a terrorist.
Yi Feiyang came here by car. Looking at the white building in front of him, there was no feeling of splendor or majesty. There was only one feeling---it was very simple!
Yes, the White House is like this. It is not as mysterious as many people imagine. From the perspective of grandeur, splendor, and even splendor, it is not even as luxurious as the government building built by a county government in the previous life. But this is it.
It looks simple at first glance, but it also reveals a strong political flavor.
This kind of breath is invisible and invisible, just like this building is alive and alive. When you see it, it is like seeing the vicissitudes of American history.
Yifeiyang's car drove smoothly into the White House area. The heavily guarded guards made Yifeiyang once again feel the important position of this place as the center of the U.S. government.
In his previous life, Yi Feiyang watched a very exciting American movie called "White House Down". In the movie, the director used airplanes and heavy weapons to fire violently at the White House. The White House was crumbling amid the gunfire and was completely destroyed.
.The audience enjoyed watching it extremely much.
But in reality, let alone carrying a gun around the White House, you can be found even if you are carrying a fork.
However, this film praises the fearless spirit of American filmmakers from another angle. They dare to bomb and destroy anywhere. The White House is a bird, but it was bombed beyond recognition?! Of course, this is also explained from the side.
The United States has a tolerant and open attitude towards American movies. It supports and understands the creation of filmmakers. If a film of this type were made in China, it would probably have been harmonized before the script was even finished.
Therefore, American filmmakers are happy, and they have a lot of creative space. There is a reason why American Hollywood dominates the world. They even dare to blow up the White House, so what else can't they do?!
Yi Feiyang got out of the car and saw the first lady of the United States, Hillary, accompanied by a man with curly white hair standing at the door of the White House to welcome guests.
Yi Feiyang didn't dare to exaggerate. After all, the aura here was different, so he hurriedly walked over.
"Hi, hello, dear Yi, we meet again!" Hilary smiled and stretched out her hand.
Yi Feiyang gently held her fingertips and said with a smile: "It's an honor. Mrs. Hillary, thank you for the invitation."
"This is my husband, Bill Clinton." Hillary introduced the man next to her.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. President." Yi Feiyang shook hands with Clinton.
Clinton looks similar to what he looks like on TV, with a big face. There are some pockmarks on his face, probably because he needs makeup to appear on TV. In real life, Clinton looks older than on TV, especially the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, which are enough to kill ants.
"Hello, Yi Feiyang. We are very happy to invite you to dinner tonight." Clinton said to Yi Feiyang in a very cordial and friendly manner.
After the two parties stood at the door and exchanged a few words, the Clintons invited Yi Feiyang into the White House for dinner.
This reception or invitation was obviously a private dinner without any political nature, so both parties were relaxed, and there were no media or politicians accompanying the dinner.
During the dinner, Clinton's wife Hillary personally served everyone a delicious dinner, and Yi Feiyang also ate and drank without any courtesy. Everyone talked and laughed while the drinks were flowing, which was really lively.
Seeing the expression on Yi Feiyang's face even after drinking so much wine, Clinton couldn't help but smile and said: "Dear Yi, although I don't know much about you, there are endless news reports about you, and you are known for making movies.
As a genius, writing scripts is called a genius, being a boss is called a geek, even finding talents and making a lot of money is a great talent... Haha, God, I really have to admire you!"
Yi Feiyang smiled, shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, you are ridiculous. I am just a little more lucky than others. Alas, I deserve the name of a genius!"
"Haha, you can't say that." Clinton said seriously: "One success may be called luck, but do you think about it, how many times have you succeeded in just three years? Haha, you must be called a genius.
!" As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and shouted happily: "Come on, man, let's drink to the genius!"
"Cheers!" Yi Feiyang clinked a glass with him and drank half the glass of red wine in one gulp.
"Come, eat vegetables, eat vegetables." Clinton looked very happy and said with a smile: "If you only drink alcohol without eating vegetables, you will often get stomach problems. You are still young now and cannot experience this kind of pain. Haha, I can't.
You should eat first and then drink. Usually you won’t get drunk and your body won’t be seriously injured. Come on, just eat, my wife’s craftsmanship is great!”
"Haha, thank you, we are not polite." Of course Yi Feiyang will not be polite. He has always been willing to accept good wine and delicious food.
During this feasting and drinking, a bottle of top-quality red wine quickly ran out. When Clinton was about to ask his wife Hillary to get the wine, Yi Feiyang stopped him in a hurry and said with a smile: "Okay, dear
Your Excellency, you still have time to drink wine later. I’m too full today and can’t drink anymore. Let’s do it later... If possible, I’d better eat some fruit and drink some tea now..."
"Okay, let's have a cup of tea. I also like your Chinese tea. Yes, it is very tasty and good for the body." Clinton said with a smile.
Seeing Clinton's attitude, Yi Feiyang knew that after eating and drinking, the real drama was coming.
The house in the Governor's Mansion is very large. Although it is not as good as the villas of some celebrities such as Michael Jackson, the decoration inside is very luxurious, and some precious oil paintings are dazzling.
Although it was his first time here, Yi Feiyang seemed very calm, which made Bill Clinton, who had been observing him secretly, couldn't help but nod secretly. You know, Clinton has hosted many celebrities in the entertainment industry at the White House, such as basketball player Jordan,
Black movie star Will Smith, great director Spielberg, etc. These people were more or less nervous when they met him, or came here. For example, Wales-Smith even dropped his knife and fork several times while dining.
On the ground.
"Come on, buddy. Let's all sit down, have a good cup of tea, and savor life." Clinton was barely a master of China, and his research on Chinese tea ceremony was much better than that of Yi Feiyang. He started playing with the tools and said: "
I used to drink coffee all the time and even looked down on Chinese tea. Haha, I don’t understand why tea is so expensive, but since I came into contact with real Chinese tea, I have changed this idea.”
Clinton cleaned the cup, and then said: "Maybe you don't know, dear Yi. Before this, I asked a famous tea ceremony master, and he told me: Tea ceremony must follow certain rules. Haha, I asked at that time
He, isn't drinking tea just to quench thirst? What rules do you follow? Haha, but he told me that drinking tea is not just to quench thirst, on the contrary, it is a process of self-cultivation, because tea itself has very good
In addition to the curative effect, drinking more tea can not only play a role in health care, but also calm your mind through the process of making tea, and then you will experience a taste of life when drinking tea..."
Yi Feiyang couldn't help but feel ashamed. Look, the president, who has so many things to do, still found time to learn tea ceremony. As for him, he knew nothing about it.
So Yi Feiyang smiled bitterly and said: "Haha, I like drinking tea, but I only like to experience the taste of joy after hardship, not as much as you, the President!"
"I only know a little bit, yes, just a little bit. In your Chinese language, it's not worth mentioning!" Clinton said humorously.
"The old gentleman also said that drinking tea is an art, an art that everyone can have access to. Whether you say it is noble or inferior, in short, this tea water is definitely a good thing, better than those certain
This coffee is much better."
"Haha, thank you, Mr. President, for admiring Chinese culture so much. I'm really grateful." Yi Feiyang reached for a cup, took a sniff and said, "I can't make any difference when I drink tea, but I can smell the fragrance.
, Good tea will be fragrant and intoxicating." After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp, closed his eyes for a long time, and sighed: "The taste is really good, yes, His Excellency the President's tea-making skills are also really good.
very good!"
"Haha..." Clinton seemed even happier after hearing Yi Feiyang's praise, and said to his wife Hillary: "Come on, dear, you can try it too and see if my craftsmanship has improved?"
Hillary sat down and drank a glass, then poured another for Yi Feiyang.
Yi Feiyang politely drank it down again.
Tasting tea?
Drinking?
Seeing him like this, Clinton smiled and said: "Look at the way my dear Yi is drinking tea. He is also the kind of person who looks gentle on the outside and is generous on the inside, haha."
With a smile on his face, Yi Feiyang nodded and said, "I can't help it. I'm used to drinking. I like to drink everything in the cup. I'm sorry for making the president laugh."
"Haha, it seems that you are also a temperamental person. I like people like you. Man, do things vigorously and resolutely, so that you are courageous!" Clinton poured him another cup, then put down the tea set and said with a smile: "Now, my dear
Yi, you should know something about my situation. Yes, it is very bad. If nothing happens, I will leave the White House and step down from the position of president at the end of the year... In that case, I will have to find a new job.
My friends suggested that I open a law firm, which is my old profession, but I have no interest in doing this anymore. Yes, I have no interest. It is too boring. What is my ideal career? Do you know
?”
Clinton's words made Yi Feiyang startled. Suddenly, he felt alarmed because in his previous life, after Clinton stepped down, he signed an actor contract directly and made his debut as the leading actor. It is said that Clinton will play the role in a detective film.
A lawyer who repeatedly solves strange cases and delivers justice.
In fact, it is a well-known fact that Clinton intends to enter Hollywood. It is said that after he officially expressed his intention to enter the film industry, the relevant production unit immediately wrote a script specifically for him. Clinton's secretary said that Clinton hopes to become a real Hollywood actor.
Actor. People in the American entertainment industry say that Clinton has the talent of an actor and the special charm of a man. If this series is popular with the audience after its launch, the former US president is likely to open up a new world in the entertainment industry.
As for Clinton saying that his friends persuaded him to become a lawyer, that's bullshit. Although Yi Feiyang doesn't know much about this profession, he also knows that Clinton gave false testimony to conceal his affair with Lewinsky, a former White House intern.
His home state of Arkansas has already suspended him from the law.
After thinking for a moment, Yi Feiyang looked at the smiling Clinton, and then guessed according to his own thoughts: "Could it be that the President is interested in entering the entertainment industry?"
"Ha, you are indeed a magician. You will hit the mark with one guess! Yes, I have exactly this plan!" Clinton said excitedly.
Looking at the old man in front of him who considered himself romantic but had wrinkles all over his face, Yi Feiyang was speechless. Are people who have been presidents so confident that they can easily succeed in whatever they do?!
"I'm very grateful to my wife. Ever since I had this idea, she has been very supportive of me and recommended you to come here. Yes, you are a recognized genius in Hollywood, especially in script writing. You are an expert.
.As long as you are willing to help me write a script, I think I will be able to get twice the result with half the effort when I enter Hollywood!" Clinton said confidently.
When he said this, Yi Feiyang understood everything.
It turns out that when I invited myself over tonight, I wanted to be the shooter myself.
Are you writing a script for this old man?
Although he is the president, he is about to step down?
Is it worth cooperating with him?
Yi Feiyang thinks quickly.
Although Clinton will step down in the future, he still has his wife Hillary, and this bitch is not easy to mess with.
Hillary once said that she would not be a little woman who bakes cookies at home and is behind a man. In fact, it is true. She is the least "secure" first lady in the history of the United States.
This was controversial. After her husband retired, she energetically completed a successful Senate term. Next, she wanted to be the first female president in American history. She is a woman and a leader of the Democratic Party.
Powerful candidate.
Now, she is so active in getting her husband Clinton to join the entertainment industry. To put it bluntly, she is paving the way for her future political future. You must know that Clinton's reputation has fallen to the extreme after the sex scandal was exposed. This is a heavy burden for Hillary.
She was shocked. She originally wanted to use her husband's brilliant brilliance to embark on a prosperous career. Unexpectedly, this husband failed to live up to his expectations and had no brilliance, but instead gave her a shit basin.
How can we clean this shit basin? This is Hillary's biggest headache.
Then she thought of using the entertainment industry!
As we all know, the entertainment industry is the easiest place to make people famous, not to mention that the title President is very suitable for Clinton to use for cheating. Besides, there are also many people who have moved from the entertainment industry to politics, such as former US President Ronald Reagan, and
Action star Schwarzenegger is now actively moving closer to politics...
Hillary's idea is very simple. Throw this disgraced husband into the entertainment industry, package it properly, wash away some of the dirt on him, and then, as her backer, dedicate everything to her political dream!
"There's one thing I don't quite understand..." Yi Feiyang said thoughtfully, "There are so many excellent screenwriters and directors in Hollywood, why did you choose me?" Yi Feiyang said seriously.
This time Clinton did not speak, but Hillary spoke. She said: "Because we want to establish a strategic partnership with you! Your goal is in the film industry, and our goal is in the political field!"
This sentence is undoubtedly of great weight, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as earth-shattering.
"Dear Yi, in fact, from the moment I met you, I knew you were an ambitious young man. I like you like this. You are young, ambitious, and motivated. The most important thing is that you have unparalleled talent!" Hillary
Putting the tea cup down, he said seriously: "As we all know, Hollywood is a very exclusive place. Unless you can truly integrate and take charge here, otherwise, you will always be able to stay at one level and not be promoted. This point,
I can help you, or use the power of our Democratic Party to help you! We need fresh blood like you, we need talented entertainers like you, politics is also entertainment, the two are closely related and inseparable, you know
Well, many movie companies are actually territories that our Democrats and Republicans compete for, and many Hollywood blockbusters incorporate the respective political ideas and views of our two parties... not just movies!"
Yi Feiyang was dumbfounded by these words. It was as if someone had lifted the veil covering his eyes. He saw something he couldn't see before...
In fact, what Hillary said is right. Many American movies secretly carry many unknown political purposes.
Although not all Hollywood movies are shot to express political views, some creators' political views of the left or the right will inevitably compete with each other like the Democratic and Republican parties. Below, the author will based on my own understanding and understanding of the movie.
The understanding of American political factions classifies some representative film and television works according to American left-wing liberals, right-wing conservatives and libertarians.
For example, the film "Fahrenheit 9/11", which was represented by liberals in the previous life, was a critical success and a box-office hit. It is also the top-grossing film in the history of documentaries. This documentary can be regarded as a heavy blow for liberals, knocking out the Republican president.
George W. Bush was treated like a clown in front of the media. In addition to being a famous director, the film director Michael Moore is also an active liberal political commentator. In the film, he exposed a series of scandals about George W. Bush and expressed his disapproval.
Strong opposition to the Iraq War. As we all know, liberals are mostly supporters of the Democratic Party, and the release date of this film in the United States coincided with the 2004 U.S. presidential election. Therefore, some conservatives accused the film of conspiracy theories and
Fictional elements, and hope to achieve the political purpose of attracting votes for the Democratic Party.
As for the conservative movie, its representative work is "Forrest Gump". It may be strange to list this movie as a conservative movie, because the director Robert Zemeckis and the starring Tom Hanks are both supporters of the Democratic Party.
This film also gives people the impression that "good people are rewarded" left-leaning thinking.
But this film, which is regarded as a microcosm of American history and society, naturally contains right-wing ideas. The most obvious one is that Forrest Gump participated in the Vietnam War against communism. In addition, after Forrest Gump returned to China to receive the presidential commendation, he
By accident, Forrest Gump appeared on the podium at an anti-war demonstration held by liberal youth. At this time, Forrest Gump, who had mental retardation, looked coldly at the podium wearing American flag clothes. Every curse word he uttered could arouse the cheers of thousands of people in the audience.
Liberal youth, the irony is not difficult to see.
Of course, "Forrest Gump" is not actually a conservative movie in the complete sense. In Hollywood, where the left is dominant, it is not easy to find a few right-wing directors, but Clint Eastwood can.
He is considered an anomaly in Hollywood. He is a rare Republican in Hollywood, and many of the films he directed convey conservative political concepts.
It can be seen that Hollywood movies are closely related to American politics. This is why Hillary invited Yi Feiyang to dinner and why she wanted to get closer to him.
Someone may want to say here that Yi Feiyang is still "insignificant" in the entire American film industry at this time. Why does Hillary think so highly of him? In fact, this is just like investing in stocks. If you wait until the stock index is at a high price to buy,
Then the profit will be very small. On the contrary, if you buy this stock when no one is paying attention, then this stock will bring you huge profits and miracles.
To put it bluntly, Yi Feiyang is a rare potential stock, and this is what Hillary values.
Yi Feiyang is not a fool, and he will understand the reason after a little research. If he is an ordinary person, he will probably refuse to accept the other party's olive branch because Clinton, the doomsday president, is about to step down. But Yi Feiyang is different, because Yi Feiyang knows that although the future president will
Although he stepped down, his wife Hillary officially entered the political arena and became so powerful that she could even compete with the then US President Obama.
This is an amazing woman and worth investing in!
Yi Feiyang quickly thought about it and made a decision immediately.
"I'm glad that you can think so highly of me. Yes, I am a filmmaker and I am proud of filming. If Mr. Clinton really intends to enter the entertainment industry, then I will definitely do my best to tailor an excellent script for him.
!" What Yi Feiyang said was neither humble nor arrogant, especially when he replaced "His Excellency the President" with "Mr. Clinton", which was somewhat meaningful and showed that he was not a subordinate, a civilian, or an ordinary person, but their "
Partner”!
Who are Clinton and Hillary? They are able to thrive in American politics, so how can they be ordinary people? They immediately understood the meaning of Yi Feiyang's words and immediately smiled and said: "Thank you very much, my dear."
Yi, I hope your script can be written soon!"
Clinton added: "Preferably before I leave office, man, I can't wait to join the entertainment industry!"
There was a burst of laughter, and everyone understood it tacitly.
